TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
REST YOURSELVES.

Now that the incorporators, to
be, of the Freedmen's Hospital
have been defeated, it is presumed
that they will allow that institution
to run unmolested, and allow the
Surgeon-in- Chief to have a little
rest.
If DIR. Williams made a mistake
IN his recommendation to Congress,
he was forced to the issue by those
who first made the attack on him.
There are several things to be
looked into and be considered i'm
passionately.
DR.. Williams was a good fellow
In the estimation Of his enemies
before he struck back, and it is un-
fair now to say that he is inimical
to the colored physicians, when
those who have failed to drive him
have been defeated in their attempt
to oust him by placing the institu-
ton under a Board of trustees.
Some of those who are fighting
DR.. Williams found him, before
they broke with him, a good fellow.
They went so far as to say that he
was one of the best surgeons in the
countrv. They now say that his
successful operations, a the hospital,
are by mere accidents. If by acci-
dent he is successful in his opera
tions, is this not a good argument
in his favor, to the effect that he is
an eminent surgeon? Why not be
fsir and give him credit for the
successful conduct of & Freed
mems Hospital?
His enemies object to Miss Ever
sole. the superintendent of the
trained nurse department. She is
. refined lady who has no preju-
dices.
The matron Of the hospital, Mrs.
NJ. J. Brown, is an AfrO-American
lady Of distinction, and lady who
is highly respected in This commu-
nifty. She is personally known to
the editor of this paper and to the
entire community. She is from
one of the best known and oldest
families in this city, and it is hoped
that her salary will be increased
commensurate with the position she
holds and her merits.
If there were reasons for change
at the hospital The BEE would join
in with the opposition and advo-
cate it.
We are confident if there are per-
sons in the hospital Objectionable
and inimieal to tie interests of the
colore6 physician DIR, Williams
would remove them.
We want it distinctly understood
that this paper will not be party
to any scheme to have him removed
unless it be shown that he is mimi
cal to the Afro American physician.
We also decline to publish the
communication received this week
attacking the conduct of the hospi-
tai, because we know it to be false.
DIR. Williams will not be removed,
unless he does something contrary
to the laws governing that institu-
zion. and should he decide to resign
no outsider will be appointed. So
rest yourselves.

GREATEST NEWSPAPER
EYER SOLD ON THE
STREETS or SAN JOSE
The Call Has No Rivals Now Is the Se1t;-
ment Expressed in the
Garden City.

SAN JOSE, Dec 19.-The New Era
edition is the leading topic of discus
sion around the city to-day. Every
one met asks "Have you seen to-day's
Call?' and then proceeds to tell of it's
merits and virtues. They sold like hot
cakes and the newsboys reaped a
rich harvest. Nearly every one on the
street had a copy in his hand, and
this was particularly noticeable of
people on their way home from
church. All were loud in it's
praises. They pronounced it the best,
prettiest and cleanest paper ever is
sued. The edition of the Examiner
was insignificant compared with The
Call, and the sale of the paper showed
this. The following interviews speak
for themselves:
o. A. Hale-The New Era edition Of
The San Francisco call., 1897-12-20

The Call is a triumph in coast jour-
nalism. Nothing has ever been issued
IN the West that equals it. The i'm
mense edition of $4,000 copies made
it great advertising medium. 1t is
far ahead of to-days Examiner in
every respect. The reading is all first
class, the illustrations artistic and the
great edition will probably be the high
water mark of circulation for many
years to come. The Call and it's pro-
prietor deserve the success that it
has achieved.
DR. ]. r. Curnow-To-day's Call
shows great enterprise. The New Era
edition is far ahead of anything, iR
number, size and excellence, ever is
sued on the coast.
T. r. Weaver, president of the
Board of Trade-The Call is ahead of
them all. 1t looks fine in its new dress.
The reading matter is of a high class
and the illustrations are fine. That
100000 edition is a top notcher for
coast journalism.
Byron Cottle-The New Era edition
is immense! 1t is one of the best
printed papers / ever saw, the illustra-
tions being especially good. The read
ing matter is far superior to that of
to-days Examiner. That $50, 900 edi-
tion will supply the State with a fine
of good will result from the copies
that are sent abroad. The Examiner
isn't in it any more. The Call leads
them all.
Rev. H. Melville Tenney, pastor Of
the First Congregational Church-The
New Era Edition of The Call is su-
perb. If The Call keeps to it's purpose
in furnishing the public with a clean
journal, which believes in high think
ing and furnishes the people with the
news and literature that stands for
all that is high, in the true sense
it will deserve the greatest success of
any journal on the coast. Everything
as illustrated by this edition seems to
point that that is its purpose.
Chief of Police KidWard-The New
Era of The Call is magnificent num-
ber 1t foreshadows anything ever at
tempted in the journalistic line on the
coast. The $4,000 edition of eighty
page Calls is so far ahead of the 130, 600
edition of the Examiner in general in
terest and appearance that there is no
comparison between the two papers.
1t is as a mole hill to a mountain, with
The Call representing the latter.
Attorney G. D. Wright-To-day's Call
is an ideal paper. 1t is surely entering
upon a new era. The immense edition
of over a third of a million copies is
something unheard of on this coast.
and incalculable good must result to
the State from it's circulation. 1t is far
superior in general interest, artistic
excellence and typographical appear
anec to the Examiner.
T. w: Hobson-It's a great paper.
The Call has forged right ahead, and

THE California Demokrat wishes
that its colleague in the stately build
ing may live, grow and prosper"
Hundreds of people crossed from
Oakland to San Francisco last night
to witness the illumination of the new
home of The Call, and the passengers
on the crowded boats discussed moth
ing else. The effect from the bay was
beautiful and the rays of light from
what appeared like a pillar of fire
reached clear across to the foot of
Broadway in that city. The mass of
light lowered high over all the other
lights of San Francisco, and the eff
fect OF the distance was such that the
building appeared as of uniform red
color. It was very plain all along the
Berkeley shore and West Oakland and
could be plainly seen from Alameda.
Mayor @. G. Pardee, who enjoys
State reputation as an astronomer,
thought he had discovered a new
colony OF comets, when his mind re-
called the notice in The Call of the illu-
mination Of the papers new home.
That's sight San Francisco has
never seen before" said the doctor,
and 1T should make people think. 1t
means more than a few thousand
lights making a magnificent building
appear like a lighthouse on fire, it
means that San Francisco and the
whole of the Pacific Coast is moving.
1t marks a new era, and every time as
pass that splendid structure on Mar
ket street l wish that California had
a thousand more men as he after
whom the building is named"
Attorney G. f de Cola, who saw the
Illuminated building from the Blake &
Moffitt block in Oakland with a party
of ladies, said it was one Of the most
beautiful sights he had witnessed.
1--WE expect these things of The Call
now," he said.

THAT CUBAN POLICY.

Yesterdays dispatches indicate an
intention on the part of President Nc
Kinley to throw the responsibility of
the future course of the United States
toward Cuba. upon congress.
The world generally will doubtless
take the same view of Spain's scheme
of autonomy that is held by the insur-
gents, who regard it as an empty
shell. The Cubans understand, as does
everybody else, that Spain is bankrupt
and hopelessly in debt and that the
chief reason for her desire to retain the
island is for the purpose of harvesting
the revenues which can be wrung
from it For the purpose of doing this,
Spain is willing to kneeI to the United
States. to make any kind of a promise
to Cuba. to yield to any demand from
anywhere. so that only she may be
permitted to collect taxes.
President McKinley's vigorous Gu
ban policy then, of which so much has
been said by his friends, consists in
advising the, Cubans to submit to their
oppressors. and instead of the much
talked of ultimatum to Spain, he viii
issue one to the revOlutionists, warn
ing them that if they do not accept the
Spanish terms of peace. they must
henceforth expect no sympathy or help
from the United States. If this be the
proper policy, it seems hardly fair that
its announcement should have been
so long delayed.
Thousands of lives have been lost in
battle and by starvation and millions
of dollars worth of property has been
destroyed since the insurgents We're
first led to believe that the United
States was their friend.
The president takes a very different
view of the subject from that generally
held, if he does not see that the terms
of peace secured for Cuba, admitting
that they have been secured by Amer
ican diplomacy, are of no benefit to the
struggling patriots. They have not
been fighting for autonomy, for a bet
ter system of Spanish government,
but for Cuban government-free Gu
ba.
If it has been the settled policy of
the United States from the beginning
of the war up to the present time to
give them no aid, as now seems to be
true, then in mercy and in all fairness
the revolutionists should have been so
informed long ago. Instead of that all
sorts of hopes have been held out to
them by congress and by the press, and
the government has not previously
done anything to correct the false i'm
preston engendered.
The sending of arms, ammunition,
men and money to aid the fnsurgent
cause has been permitted with scarcely
an attempt at hindrance. The pres
tense of preventing f1libustering has
been regarded as a huge joke by ev-
erybody.
The president is quoted as saying
that war scares' disturb business, and
for that reason he wants to put an end
to them. That any war scares we
have had so far have affected any le-
gitimate line of business must be a
matter of doubt. The only line of trade
that has seemed to respond to war ru-
mors is that of the stock and bond
gamblers.
