THE OAKLAND EXPOSITION.

The exposition o. the industries of Ala
media County now running in Oakland
has fair prospect of achieving this year
a success far beyond any accomplished in
the past. The knowledge that a large
number of Eastern visitors would be in
California at this time has stimulated the
people of the county TO make the best ex-
position possible, anc accordingly those
visitors who attend it will be BILE 10 study
the resources and industries OF Oakland
and its environs under the most favorable
circumstances.
1t is to be regretted that we have not an
exposition of all the industries of Cali
fornia to show our visitors, but lacking
that we may be well pleased in having SO
good an exposition OF one of our most
pros porous and progressive counties. The
Eastern visitor who attends the exposi-
lion will see q variety of products which
Will astonish him when he learns that
they are the outcome OF single county.
Hardly any State IN the East could show
so many different articles of such high
excellence as will be on exhibition from
this comparatively small portion of the
area of California, and the reflecting OBJ
server can estimate from what he sees
there omething of the vast productive
ness and infinite variety of the State as
whole.
The business of the convention and the
many attractions OF San Francisco and
the region surrounding it will leave to the
delegates TO the convention and their
friends little leisure if they undertake to
see ali during the comparatively short
time of their stay. This TACT will compel
the visitors to make selection of the
sights which they intend 10 see, and in
making that selection the Oakland exposi-
tion should not be overlooked.
The advantage which will result TO Cali
fornia from an inspection OF the exposi-
ton by large Der al least of our
Eastern visitors was well expressed by
John P. Irish in his opening address in
the words, "One pair OF eyes from abroad
will see far more ana be far better adver-
tisement of our products than a dozen
pairs of intelligent eye, belonging to
those VINO live with Us" The truth of
that statement is not to be gainsaid. and
it is 10 be hoped nearly if not quite all OF
our visitors can be induced to make a
thorough study of the exhibit. However
that may be, the people Of Oakland are to
be congratulated CT the successful exposi-
tion which they have provided. 1t is most
timely and appropriate in every way. and
will prove a benefit, not TO Oakland only,
but TO the entire State.

THE NASHVILLE PROGRAMME.

The much discussed convention of the
middle-of-the-road Populists which. as
sem bled at Nashville and opened it's pro-
ceedings with clash on the Fourth OF
July was hurried to conclusion in
shorter time and with less friction than
was expected. Instead of being a eonven-
ton of de bate and controversy it has
turned out to be no more than a gathering
of men assent bled to carry out a cut-and-
dried programme.
After The first wrangle on the opening
day there was very little in the proceed
ings of the convention 10 interest the gem
eral public. No division of factions ap-
peared, and there seems to have been very
little in the way OF differences of opinion.
The man who on the opening day called
his opponent "a red headed pap-sucker"
and was denounced in return as 'bullet-
eaoed buzzard" coincided in the end with
his eloquent friend and voted with him in
carrying out the prearranged programme.
The real interest in the convention will
be found in consideration OF the effect it
is likely 10 have upon the Populist party
and through that organization upon the
general politics of the country. The con-
vention adopted plan for com plete re-
construction of the party machine. 1t
provides for new National Committee
and for new Stale Committees. to hold
Office until the Assem- bling of National
Convention which is to be called by the
National Committee This, il will be
seen, gives to the party a double head,
and it is now prepared to talk on equal
terms with the Democratic party, which
ever since the indianapolis convention of
last year has also been species of double
headed rooster.
The Nashville organization pledges its
officials not to enter into any sort of fusion
or com bination with any other political
party. If it succeeds in drawing to itself
m ajority of the rank and file of the or
ganization it will put an end to the hopes
OF the Bryanites of being, able to renew in
1900 the fusion which enabled them to
carry some of the Western States last
year. To how great an extent the new
movement will be supported by Populists
cannot yet be foreseen, but as it is led by
the most aggressive and resolute men in
the party and has the advantage of main
tanning well-detined principles it has q
lair chance OF winning over nearly the
whole mass OF genuine Populists The
prospects are that We shall have three
tickets in the next Presidential campaign,
and that Bryan. II he is renominated, will
have to make forlorn fight as a leader of
one wing OF divided Democracy and with
out the allies who helped him last wear.

that they had all gone out in the country TO

appeared tnat Hamilton had been confDed to
his bed by sickness for several weeks, and his
crops as q consequence had become very foul,
he being wholly dependent on his own exer-
tIons to keep them clean. When his busy
neighbors learned of mis- condition and pros
poets they spread the report through the coun-
", and movement was at once started to
afford him the necessary relief. The only
thing to be done was to go into his fields with
plows and hoes ana give his crops that atten-
lion necessary 10 their salvation. Every man
in the county proffered his services, and even
the merchants Clipped into a fund for the

SENATOR MAsoN's AUTOGRAPHS.
Washington Post.


The autograph of Andrew Johnson is
very rare because he signed his name
only VIII he was compelled to. The
future collector of autographs will never
set a high value upon Senator Mason's
signature. 1t is already deIuge on the
market.
That Senator Mason has signed every
application for Office presented to him,
without regard to race. color or previous
condition of servItude, goes without saw
ing. In the carelessness of his good ma
ture and the bounteousness of mis- gener-
osity, however, he has also signed recon-
mendations for postmastefs In Republi-
can districts in Illinois. In this he has
run counter 10 the plans of the Congress
men themselves, and in more imam one
case an ugly storm was bre wing.
Mr.. Mason has solved The difficulty by
cutting lie Gordi N knot. He has in
formed the Postmaster-General that all
recommendations made by him for post
masters in Repu blican districts in Illinois
don't CO." Consequently his signatures
in those cases have no more value than a
last years almanac, and peace once more
reigns supreme.

BRYAN'S VISIT.

Mr.. Bryan has no reason to be dissatis-
fed with the reception accorded him on
either side of San Francisco Bay. In Ala
media, in Oakland AMI in this City he was
welcomed cordially and large crowds of
people gave an attentive hearing to what
he had to say. The greeting was one Of
which the most eminent public man
might we'll be proud, and it gave to Mr..
Bryan proof that not only has he many
friends here of his own peculiar political
faith, but that he IS well esteemed and ad-
mired for many of his qualities by Cali
fOrnians generally.
If the meetings and the speeches were
somewhat disappointing to those who
attended them there was no open mani
festation of discomfort. Every one under
stood that Mr.. Bryan was tagged and
worn by tiresome journey and was
horse from frequent speaking at all
times of day in the open air. He was
therefore in no condition to exert the
mental and moral force necessary to
thrill great audiences. The nervous
vigor required for the delivery of really
eloquent grafton was not in him. He
could do no more than talk, and IL is to
he was able to talk sufficiently well to
keep his hearers interested.
The style, tone and substance of the
speeches showed badly by reason Of the
lack of fire in their delivery. They pos
sessed in themselves no excellence either
OF argume ent or of phrase. Not a single
thoulht was expressed in words suth-
ciently impressive to remain in the men,
ory of those who heard it, nor was single
sentence rounded rhythmically in musical
cadences to a noble and beautiful finish.
The argument was as Indifferent as the
style. The orator wandered on from point
to point, skipping from one to the other
without logical sequence or even contin-
uity of thought.
1t is not clear what Mr.. Bryan or his
party leaders hope te gain by this tour.
The public mind at this time is not inter-
ested in party politics and the attempt at
cam paigning will not win for the Bryan
ties single vote. The great mass of the
American people are we'll satisfied with
the result of the election of Mckinley on
a platform OF protection and bimetallism
They see that industry is reviving aud
pros perity is returning. A protective
tariff bill is we'll advanced toward COM
petion and a commission is now in
Europe arranging for international agree
ment on the silver question. Mr.. Bryan,
therefore, has no cause with which the
people sympathize, and since he is SO
hoarse and tagged it would be well for him
to abandon his labor in vain of stumping
the State and settle down in San FraE<
CISCO for the summer.

Telegraphic reports abound with

seems TO be as severe in New VI
the extreme South.
As tie Eastern visitors read TIN
ports from their former homes and
pare them with the cool ana plea
weather which prevails here they wiil\
tain an understanding of the great advaN
tage which the Pacific Coast enjoys oyel
the East. We have occasionally in thi,
City what are called 'hot SPELLS" but the,
are never anything like what is known by
that name east of the Rockies. Our Sc
verest weather in the summer would b,
accounted mild, pleasant and altogetbel
delightful in any other portion of tn,
Union. Our prevailing summer weather
is so far superior to that of the East tha
we ought to have different nomenclature
to characterize its various phases.
If the Eastern visitor who now enjoy.
the realization of the difference between
summer in California and summer in III,
East could remain with US for year h,
would see that each successive Sc eason re
veals a new advantage in California
climate. As our summers are free from

the severe cold which comes to all sections
of the East north of tie Gulf States, and
which does not always spare them from
snowstorms ana freezing blasts sufficiently
severe to kill fruit trees and infiict mucl
