NO NEW EXPERIMENT.

In giving every help its influence may
command to promote the campaign for
suffrage in California, The CALL is not
urging upon the people the undertaking
of any new and untried experiment. The
issue has been before the American people
in one form or another for more than a
generation. 1t has been tested again and
again in different States under a great
variety of conditions, and the results of
these tests are matters of common knowl-
edge. Wherever limited suffrage has
been given to women experience has
strengthened public sentiment in favor of
extending it. Wherever full suffrage has
been granted experience has justified the
venture and made it a matter of pride to
the community where it exists.
1t is matter of qualification that in this
great reform movement the West has led
the East. While the older States have
hesitated in their slowly stagnating con-
servatism. the younger West has gone for
ward toward the full realization of State
whose people have an equal voice in the
government. Wherever that equal voice
has been given to women as to men there
has been a distinct improvement, not in
politics only but in the whole social
structure. Those who prophesied evil re-
suits to the home, to society and to poll
tics have seen their predictions refuted by
the unanswerable logic of accomplished
facts, and those who foreiold good things
have been rejoiced by the attainment of
even better than they predicted.
We do not have to go to far countries to
find illustrations of what WON an suffrage
accomplishes. Our own sister common
wealth of Wyoming furnishes US with the
example and con tributes also the moral to
be drawn from it. Her Legislature in
1893 declared:
The possession and exercise of suffrage by
the women in Wyoming for the past quarter Of
injury has wrought no harm and has done
great good In many ways: il has largely aided
In banfshing crime, pauperism and vice from
this State, and that without any violent or op-
pressive legislation; it has secured peaceful
and orderly elections, good government and
remarkable degree of civilization and public
order; and we point with pride to the fact that
after nearly twenty-five years of woman suf-
trage not one county in Wyoming has a poor
house; that our jails are almost empty, and
crime, except that by strangers in the State, is
almost unknown; and, as the result of expert
ence, we urge every civilized community on
the earth to enfranchise It's women without
delay.
Testimony equally clear, strong and
convincing could be given from every
other State in the Union that has made
the experiment. Nor is it our own coun-
try only that has gone forward in this move
ment and can bear witness concerning if.
The entire English-speaking world, from
old England to New Zealand, has felt the
impulse toward the accomplishment of
this finaffulillment of universal suffrage.
California can safely trust herself 10 this
great, worldwide, liberal movement with
out tear. She should be in the van of
progress. Let her then be the next State
to establish this true equality OF govern
ment and law.
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-05
THE EASTERN OUTLOOK.

All reports that come to US from politi-
cal authorities in the East show how i'm
possible it is at this time to make anything
like an accurate forecast of what will be
done by the st. Louis convention. Men
who from their positions in the party are
able to obtain the fullest information and
who from their long experience and their
political sagacity are best fitted to ap-
praise such information at its true value
differ widely in their conclusions. The
wisest among them do not pretend to
prophesy the result and content them
selves with statement of facts showing
that any prophecy at this time would be
futile and foolish.
The fullest summary of the situation
based upon information derived from high
authorities which has yet been published
was that contained in THE CALL of yester-
day. There were elaborate statements,
with detailed tables in several instances,
from ]. s. Clarkson, Thomas C. Platt,
Manly of Maine and Grosvenor of Ohio.
The estimates varied from that of Grosve-
nor, who claims for Mckinley 495 votes
already elected, to that of Manly, who con-
cedes to the Ohio champion only 275 votes
in sight. OF these two differing estim ate s
it seems clear that of Manly is the more
nearly correct, inasmuch as it is supported
by the nearly concurrent estimates OF Platt
and Clarkson, while that of Grosvenor is
entirely unsupported and, morever, ac-
cording to his own statement, is based
upon claims to several delegations whose
seats will be contested.
AS the situation stands to-day it is GER
tain no candidate will have majority on
the first ballot at st. Louis. That is the
only fact which can he foreseen at this
time. According to the table given by
Clarkson there will be 918 delegates in the
convention, of whom 1876 have not yet been
elected. OF those elected 29S are for Nc
Kinley, 403 for other candidates, and in 81
instances there are contests. 1t is not likely
that the delegates to be elected will ma
terially alter the proportionate strength of
the various candidates. AS a result there
will be prolonged balloting at st. Louis.
This is good year for California to send
an uninstructed delegation and strong
one at that

Java" said Mr.. Trowbridge. "They had two
concessions. / got some oil under the first and
was beginning to get in shape, as thought, to
get oil on the other when the Government
shut down on US. Something was wrong with
the concession, it appears.
''At the southeast of Java the Dutch have
struck plenty OF oil.
''Iwas two and a half years at Lucknow, India,
where was sinking for artesian water. got
some, but not as much as 1 would like to have
had. l used American machinery, which
took over and had to instruct the natives in
the use of 1t.
''They were very slow and used 10 worry my
patience terribly, but at last got used to it
and took things just as easy as they did. It's
no use TO worry in a country like that.
81 have prospected for oil all over. I put in
many years in Pennsylvania and also put
down borings in South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida They have got some good
oil country in Sumatra and from what un-
derstand of IL very large supply will come
from there.
GAS regards oil, surface indications count for
nothing The only way you can tell is by put
ting down wells.
~ have wondered that artesian wells we're
not sunk on the great plains and plateaus
more than they are. I think over most of
them water could be found. They would
bring millions of acres under cultivation and
certainly those who would own the lands
would make enormously from them.'
Mr.. Trowbridge has been representing
American capital on his recent trip. He will
be here for day or two.

gives it power greater than that OF any
other Pacific Coast State, and this fact
invests the Republicans of California with
very grave responsibility extending far
beyond the borders of the State.
A pledge of this kind would give the Cal
fornia delegation extraordinary power at
st. Louis 1t would be notice to all the
friends of silver in the convention that
they know where to find unfinching sup
port, and would weaken the fight of the
gold monometallists and sim plify the task
of bringing them to terms. 1t would be
an expression of Western determination
to see that Western ideas and interests are
respected, and hence, in second ary sense,
would strengthen all the demands that
California is prepared to make. These are
numerous, urgent and vital. To present
united front on the proposition OF free
silver coinage would open the eyes OF the
country to the importance Of the West,
both in politics and wealth of natural re-
sources.
There is nothing in such a course op-
posed to Republicanism. The last two
National platforms of the party declared
for bimetallism. The last two State plat
forms prior to Presidential elections de-
clared for the free coinage of silver. More
over. no President has ever been elected
on gold platform. Free coinage is Ma
tional. Monometallism is sectional.
The Bee deserves congratulations for
this patriotic suggestion. nquestionably
the prosperity of the West is linked with
silver, and the responsibility rests upon
the Sacramento Convention to give it the
hearty support of the Republicans of Cali
fornia, Now is the time for the party in
the West to assert itself and throw its
forces with the great Eastern movement
to remonetize silver.
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-05
THE CANAL NECESSARY.

California is more deeply concerned over
the Nicaragua canal than any other State
OF the Union. No other State has so
grievously felt the burdens OF monopoly
in transportation, and no transportation
companies in the country have been so
arrogant and have fattened so prodigiously
as those which have dominated the indus
tries OF this State. No other State pro-
duces valuable articles Of consumption
that are procurable elsewhere only in for-
eign countries. No other State is in po-
slt1on by reason of unique advantages to
reap splendid benefits from wise Ma
tional policy. The Nicaragua canal, aided
and controlled by the Government, would
break the monopoly which now assists in
hampering the settlement and checking
the prosperity of California. More than
that, 1t would open up the whole Euro
pean market to our products, and that
would mean an unlimited demand.
California is now in position to de-
mand of the Republican National party
that 1t support the Nicaragua canal pro-
lect. Such demand, how ever, would be
utterly ineffective if the California delega-
ton TO the National Convention goes
pledged to any Presidential candidate and
be ready to be pocketed and forgotten by
him. II the delegates take that position
OF independence so becoming in intellI-
gent men and so indicative of their appre-
citation of opportunity and duty they will
go unpledged and able to demand that
California desire for the Nicaragua canal
be granted.
