PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

l c ONE days ago The Call published as an item
 N of news report that John w. Lynn, who re- 9 gently in Oakland made attempt to kill hls wife, was said to have killed Peter Camarnos, an inmate of the Agnews Asylum for the Insane. The story that Lynn had been employed as a special attendant for Camarnos, who was at times violent, and was employed at the time of the death ot the patient. The report of the killing was given oil the authority of John K. Griffiths, who was an inmate of the asylum at the tme and claims to have been witness of the assault which led to the death The Cali was not responsible for the story of Gr- fths further than results from making 1t public. It was responsible however, for the statement that Lynn had been employed at Agnews the attend ant of Camarinos and acting in that capacity at the time Camarinos died.
 The Examiner in its eagerness to make up for lack of in its columns by discredtng the news of The Call, at denied the truth of this story It said: John R. Grifths who is responsible for the story claims to have been inmate of the asylum at the time the alleged murder was committed, and he has been quoted saying that he Lynn kill Camarinos. After the crime Lynn says he went to Fresno. This was about November 2o, as as he can fix the date As a matter of fact and record P. Camarinos died on December ast or nearly a month subsequent to the time when Griffiths claims Canlarinos murdered"
 The Call does not publish news that it has not n- vestgated. The statements 1t makes are accurate and be relied upon. It does not depend, like the Examiner, for in business on fakes and frauds but the correctness of its reports There fore 1t cannot permit its reports to be aspersed with out making reply. In this particular it calls upon the Examiner to make good its charges stand branded as an envous libeler of paper that beats if as A neWspatherer
 As the Examiner boasts much of its devotion to charity, The Call now offers 1t an opportunity to add SIooo to the charitable institutions of San Fran cisco on these terms The Call will deposit $Iooo with Mayor Phelan to be forfeited to the charities of the city if 1t in the wrong in the statement that Lynn at Agnews at the time of the death of Camarinos, provided the Examiner will deposit an equal to be forfeited and divided in the way if it be proven that The Call was right.
 The Examiner is quick to discredt the reports of its rivals and ncessant in boasting its regard for charity, it hardly decline the proposition have made without stutfying itself both as news gatherer and as patron of charitable institutions The issue before it is therefore plain. It must put up or shut up.

CLEARING THE DECKS.

\ H1LE the recent disclosures of so many W scandals in connection with the admnistra-
 ton Of various departments of official affairs are by no means pleasant reading for the people, the situation IS not without encouraging aspects Cor rupton never be overcome until 1t has been ex- posed Light must be thrown into all the dark cor ners ot evil before the reforming broom can be e- fectvely used In this instance the light has been turned on good and strong. The work to be done is now clear before us and therefore have reason to hope the reforming task can be accomplished with complete success
 It IS not coincidence merely that so many scan dals have been brought to light at once It cannot have escaped the attention of any careful student of current events that all of these examples of wrong doing have been exposed by The Call as part of its work on behalf of the commonwealth It was not chance that brought them to light but intellgently directed zeal in the interests of the people and good government The popular approval which has. at tended The Gall Tn exposing the wrongdoing will support Grand Juries and other authorities in the work Of bringing the guilty to condemnation and punishment, and the outlook for reform is distinctly promising and cheering.
 AS matter of fact we are going through the process of cleaning the governmental ship for new departure. The exposure and punishment of wrong doing IS at all times commendable but they could never be more opportunely done than at this time We shall soon be called upon to elect new officials and 1t IS altogether fitting therefore that the atten ton of every citizen should be at this time directed to the evils ot bad government The present scan dais will have the effect of arousing public sentiment and to that extent will useful purpose by in- creasing the chances of getting better public serv- ants next time.
 r
 The Gall does not delight in official scandals. It believes, however that it is better to expose corrup- ton and eliminate it from the governmental system than to leave 1t to work secret harm in darkness un til Its pernicous influence is felt everywhere to the injury ot all departments of administration On this principle The Call has gone about its work, and nov has the satisfaction of seeing that much of the cor ruption 1t has exposed is in fair way to be made moral to good citizens and warning to evil ones In fact the decks are being cleared The bad odor oi the present scandals will soon blow over and Cali fornia will be cleaner politically than it has been for many year.

LINCOLN DAY SPEECHES.

D Y common consent in all parts of the country h the celebration of the anniversary of the birth - day of Lincoln seems to have been turned over tc Republicans party feast day. just the cele bration of the battle of New Orleans, Jackson day has been made Democratic festival. The two par ties into which the people divided thus have their partisan celebrations early in the year. and thereafte, come together as one people to do honor to the memory of Washington, whose good fortune it wa. to be associated with party faction of his cou trymen.
 In a certain it is to be regretted that the observance of the birthday of Lincoln should be par tisan but the result was we'll nigh inevitable Lin- coin so thoroughly represents Republicansm he closely identified with the history of the party he stood stanchly for principles and policies ol governmental action which the exclusive prop erty of the party, that 1t would be difficult to com memorate him his work without commemoratina also the party which elected him to the Presidency and supported him in the arduous task of saving the Union and freeing the slave
 In commemoration of the day on Saturday but two Democrats of national repute took part and one of them only indirectly. MT. Bryan, who talks on all occasions spoke to his fellow townsmen of Lincoln Nebr, and MT. Towne the silver-tongued orator from Duluth spoke in Los Angeles to club of SO.
 
 cords. Their utterances sounded like arring note. disturbing the lofty harmony of patriotic speech which Republican orators sounding in honor of Lincoln and the mighty party which is still inspired by his memory and his principles
 Bryan and Towne each in his own way preached the demagogue creed of class antagonisms They went the old familiar calamity cry about the bcndholder crushing the farm CT and the 1aborer Their speeches tended to discontent and strife rather than to the glorious exultation which Americans should feel in being citizens of land where man born as poo1 Lincoln could aspire to the Presidency and where statesman honest and as pure from self-seekine could attain 1t.
 So long as Democracy continues to follow such leaders as these the celebration of the birthday o; Lincoln will of necessity remain the special charge of the Republican party. As the years pass, however. . change will surely come. The youth of the land is being taught in public schools to revere the name of the martyred President and to learn the patriotic lessons taught by his simple but sublime life These as they reach maturity, matter which party the :. join. will feel an instructive prompting to participate in every celebration in honor of the greatest of all l Americans. and then Lincolns birthday will he , national festival ard all the people will take mart | in if

THE WATER RATES.

c EXPERIMENTS made by members of the Boart
 N of Supervisors on the subject of water rates show that the city IS fairly safe against the dan ger ot raise in the price which water will be fur nished to consumers during the next year Sis members of the board have declared themselves op- posed to an increase, and if all of these hold firm the scheme ot the water company to place higher burden of taxation upon the people for that neces- sary of life will be defeated
 The Supervisors who have thus frankly declared themselves on the side of the community are: Cin- ton Dodge Lackmann, Morton, Rottanzl and Smith These men are not waiting to be seen by any one, nor are they seeking to any one. They are aware o all the factors of the problem. Past nves- legations have given them much knowledge on the subject as the company will ever give They also know tine needs of the city These facts afford them sufficient foundation on which to base conclusion of what should be done in the present instance. There have been notable changes since last year, nothing to justify increase of the rates, and ac- cordingly these men, being honest have no hesita- ton in declaring what course they will take in deal ing with the demand of the company.
 There are six Supervisors who have not yet de- cided how they will vote on the question: These are: Britt, Delaney, Devany, Haskins, Rivers ans Sheehan. They waiting for information. Britt says T will be governed by circumstance" :; Delaney says, "I will be in better position to judge when the company has had an op- portunty to be heard' Devany says, Tt would be too soon to ask me how 1 should vote i'll the mat ter' Haskins says, 'I decline to express an opinion; Rivers says, "I will be guided entirely by the testimony and the facts adduced before the board; Sheehan says "I will be governed a good deal by the representations made during the in- quiry."
 All of this is fair talk and under normal conditions would pass as seemingly honest, but in the present instance it gives rise to suspicious. The public is familiar with the kind of evidence obtanabe in ex- aminations of this kind. Again and again the water rates of the city have been made the subject of in- vestigation, and the of all has been moral de- nonstration that the water company will let the true value of its plant and business be known. Just enough has been revealed to make it certain that water rates are now as high they should be.
 The Supervisors who waiting for testimony and are so eager to give the company chance to be heard have doubtless peculiar ideas of the kind of testimony the company is capable of putting up if 1t chooses, and have probably made up their minds just how much of the testimony will be necessary to induce them to vote for the desired raise in rates Fortunately the danger of raise this year is small With six Supervisors and the Mayor on the side of the people and justice the chances for cnch scheme are small
