BRYAN AND THE BIG FOUR.

From the camp OF the Democracy of Cali
fornia cometh the noise of discord. The
great men OF the party no longer raise
their voices in unison when the manner OF
receiving and entertaining their whilom
commander, William Jennings Bryan, Is
discussed, and portentous rumors are
borne on the breeze from the tents of the
local braves. There is talk of obnoxious
favoritism" and "clique control" and all
that, which means substantially that the
silverv tongued "boy orator OF the Platte
has minated his special may, almost ex-
clusive) love for select few among the
Democrats and silverites of the Golden
West who shall be privileged in all mat
ters appertaining 10 his visit.
These few will meet and advise him and
inform him as 10 "who is who aad
what what" They will travel with him
when he travels up and down the State,
dine with him when he Dimes enjoy his
smiles and his confidence, and stand about
him like body-guard when the rank and
file comes trooping up to shake hand of
him.
For many weeks the members of the
Democratic State Central Committee have
been working Loyalty from dewy morn to
dusky eve with the object of insuring for
the brilliant politician from Lincoln,
Nebr., mum Der of big meetings on this
side of the S1erras and OF making him feel
as happy and comforts ble as poss be dur
ing his soiourn among US. They appointed
finance and reception and entertainment
committees and mapped out progra ANNE.
They exhibited enthusiasm. And all to
what avail? Only 10 discover, at this late
day, that they are not in the BRYAN swim
and that their former idol, William J.,
will come to the land by the Balboa Sea,
consigned to Millionaire Charles D. Lane,
w. w. Foote, Frank J. MoffiIt and George
H. Baker.
The high chiefs of the State Central
Committee will have no chance to splurge;
the majority of local wheelhorses will be
kept outside the ropes, and, in any case.
for Democrat to get into the presence of
the late darling OF the Democracy he will
find il necessary to first kow-Iow 10 the
Big Four
The State Central Committee doesn't
have to collect cent. Mr. Bryan's ex-
penses are already guaranteed. It is said
that Charley Lane is the unknown" who
has pungled up 5000 for the tour. II anv
more is wanted it will be forthcoming,
but the Big Four will handle II, and the
Big -Four will see that this programme is
carried ont according to their desires.
Is it any wonder there is discord IN the
Democratic camp? Can the warhorses be
blamed If they threaten to kick off their
harnessP Are the State committeeman,
after being thrown down and walked on,
to be expected to join in and "whoop it
up" some more? Verify, no, indeed. At
fairs are mighty threatening in their as
pect, so far as the California Democracy is
concerned-all since the Big Four usurped
control of the Bryan band wagon and
taught their party that the Big Four had

A GOVERNMENT OF BOYS.

Among the dispatches in yesterdays
issue OF THE CALL was one relating to the
establishment by the Industrial Colony
Association of New York City of a most
unique colony on a 140-acre farm near
Gardiner, n. Y. The colonists are boys
between II and IA years of age, and they
have been taken from among the street.
arabs of the metropolis.
The scheme is TO teach the boys
habits of thrift and industry, as
well as the art of government. This
initial colony is in the nature of an
experiment, but should success crown the
movement farms will be colonized in like
manner in other localities. At Gardiner
every boy will work, although none will
be compelled TO do so. There will be
classes in farming, carpentry and cob
bling, and each boy will be free To choose
his own mploy yment. Every lad will be
an independent and self-supporting ci;i-
zen. For la Dor done IN the classes be will
be paid in a currency modelled after the
United States coin, though made of dif-
ferent metal, and out of the money earned
each boy will pay for his board and lodg-
ing. He who does not work shall not
eat. The wages paid shall be according
to the work done, the good workman re-
ceiving enough to live we'll. while the boy
turning out unfair work will receive Just
enough to live on.
The farm will be run for the present on
the county government system; the legis-
lative power being vested In Board of
Supervisors, whose enactments will be
enforced by Sheriff and Constable. In
case a boy offender is arrested he will be
tried by a Judge and jury of the boys.
Smoking and profanity will be among the
crimes in the code of the colony. The
punishments will be of such nature as
not to degrade.
In addition to all this there will be
daily military drill under q competent
instructor and gentle religious influences,
the services being undenominational. The
colony will be managed in a practical,
bus nesslike manner. Distinguished phil-
anthropists are backing the movement,
which will be watched with a great deal
of interest.
70 homeless newsboys and bootblacks,
who have suffered the worlds hard knocks,
such an opportunity as that afforded in
the Gardiner colony will fall as u blessing
indeed, and it is to be hoped that this
good work in the cause of practical charity
Will prosper and EXPAND

CALIFORNIA SEED FARMS.

The reference made some days since in
these columns TO the fact that one OF the
most prominent wholesale seed-d callers of
the East had declared that California was
the egetable paradise of the world and
that this State was rapidly becoming the
seed supply house of the globe has at
tracted much attention. The vast extent
OF the seed business of this State is hardly
imagined by the average Californian.
Thousands of acres of land in Central and
Southern California are devoted to the
purpose and the seed farms have brought
fortunes 10 their owners in almost every
instance. The conditions of soil and
climate here are more favorable to the in
dustry in question than is the case in any
other part of the world.
The wholesale seed-distributing busi-
ness of California also has assumed inn
mense proportions, and from this point
great quantities of seed of nearly all varie-
ties are shipped to the States and Terrific
ries east of the Rocky Mountains, TO
South America, to Europe and to Asia.
Large capital is here invested in such
enterprises and is doing effective work. So
large is this business becoming that it is
not remote when all our product of seed
shall be packed here ready for the retail
trade and every ounce of California seed
shall be sold under a California trade

FOR lNLEsENDkNf ACIION.

FUSION WITH THE DEMOCRACY WOULD BE A
SURRENDER OF PoPULIsT PRINCIPLES.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco CaLt-SIR
Shall the Populists in 1898 "fuse? Myan-
swer is emphatically mo- Some of my rea-
sons may be thus epitomized:
First-Our National platform stands for four
distinctive priDciples-as to land, transporta-
ton, money and direct legisl alton. No other
party accepts them, and hence cannot make a
home for populisis. This is lmpol tant enough
in itself to keep us alone.
Second-The Bryan Democracy is we'd
ded TO a monstrous and wicked evil when it
demands ''coin redemption" of paper money.
This is an economic folly; is illogical and un-
constitutional. 1t suits the goldites
Third-There is no difference in yileness be-
tween the two old parties-both reeking Sc
pulchers. How can we expect to find purity
where all is putrefaction?
Fourth-Both Democracy and Republican
ism think, speak and vote that Tariff is the
most potent OF all factors in our happiness
and hence they contend alb Iui rates. I" igno1-
ing the real causes OF our miseries.
Fifth-Re publieanism stands for private
monopoly OF wealth, having perhaps % per
cent OF the rich as its adherents. Democracy
stands Tor monopoly OF ignorance for lex
cepting the negroes), all the sodden and con-
science-ridden hordes of the country are in its
legions Populism believes only in National
monopoiies. 1t demands that every voter
shall be free in his conscience, looking TO
truth and not TO another for his guidance
Hence. Populism cannot find any sympathy
with the domination of wealth, or OF igno-
rance controlled by secret tribunals and will
not submit 10 the dictation OF either
Sixth-Our experience is flaming sword of
warning. In the last campaign the Dsmoc-
racv broke faith in keeping up Sewal. This
sacrificed the election. it courted defeat
rather than to stand to the st. Louis compact
Hence 1t cannot be trusted,
Seventh-rhe ranks of Populists are filled
with thinkers There are among Us more men
Of Republican than OF Democratic anteee-
dents. We must look to the former party for
the great bulk of our recruits Republican
ism cannot bring pros perity, hence its rebel
ling adherents will come TO Us If stand
alone, and will refuse to come if we unite with
the Democracy. In California there is a bso-
lutely no hope for reform IN ''fusion." ii is
death and damnatiog. There is Demo
eradc aspirant for Governor that can com
mand the confidence of Populists.
Among those already named are the follow
ing-three already the field. Budd is a
machine tactician; Mcguire is opposed TO Ma
tional ownership and operation OF railroads;
Phelan has the distinction of inherited mil
lions; Foote is a Bourb N, remembering anti
bellum grandeur. Is not this ch characterization

The two local works that were given
their first hearing yesterday were bright

Only Per Cent WhI Be Sent to the

Colonel Jackson, the new Collector, has
modified the operations of the new tea

the local importers of tea. Under the
new law 10 per cent of all teas brought

er's stores TO be tested by an official tea
tester. 1t seems that the more northern

have taken all this trade away from the
