THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
The commencement season is with US.
Every harmony of the time is Repub-
lican music.
To the college orator life is one grand
defamation.
There is nothing compromising about
Populism this year.
The appropriation bill is big, but none
too big for the country.
The fes;al idea has blossomed in way
that promises an early fruitage.
The festival idea is good thing to keep
in mind until we get the thing itself in
hand.
No one can object to the establishment
OF park in the Mission. 1t is home
mission.
The Democrats seem TO saw wood only
to get sticks OF convenient size to throw at
one another.
The competing road will not only bring
the monopoly to terms, but close The term
OF the monopoly.
Up to date no one in the country seems
to care whether the Chicago convention
ever meets OF not.
In little while the political cuckoo will
have gone TO join the dodo as part and
parcel OF the dreadful past.
The transfer nuisance is one OF the kind
the public will never get used to. The ir-
ritation will be always there.

every time it is brought up it hangs fire.
The only hope of the Democrats to make
combinations in this campaign is to COM
bine with themselves, and even that seems
forlorn.
People are content to have their eyes on
ha 7 I.
like to have their hands on that at
Chicago.
The comfort of the American home de-
pends on the maintenance of American
wages, and the way To secure the one is to
protect the other.
The graduates will soon be filing the
country with new ideas on the ideal re-
public and the way to teach your grand
mother how to suck eggs.
1t begins to look az if the Cleveland
letter declaring himself not candidate
for reelection must have been used for
gun wadding and shot away in swamp.
1t is noted that Governor Morton of
New York did not veto a single bill passed
by the recent Legislature, and now some
people are praising the Legislature and
some axe condemning the Governor
Arthur Corbin recently presented the
New York people with $50 buffaloes for
their park, and thus it comes about that

OF the wheat crop is more favorable to a
big output than in any month of Nav

as phenomenal.
Ihere never was a time when all Sec
tions OF the country were so eager for in
ternal improvements as now, and that is
another reason why the party which has
been always in favor of such improvements
should be restored to power.
In saying we cannot have a summer
fiesta in this City because we have
nothing but wind and dust to accentuate
the season." the Oakland Tribune clearly
overlooks the fact that we could have the
Oakland people, and there is nothing
windy about them.
The Democratic tariff has been about as
beneficial to the English cutlery-makers of
Sheffield as to the wool-spinners of Brad
ford. BY reducing the duties all the way
from Is to 90 per cent the British have
been able to increase their exports of
cutlery to this country from $407 900 in
1894 to $739 600 in 1895, and the difference
