GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUES
SPLENDID FIGHT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 15.-The Republican
Good Government League Is making
winning fight against the county ticket
nominated by the Rea convention. The
county has already been pretty well
canyassed, and much substantial en-
commencement received. In the agricul-
tural and horticultural districts the
people are opposed to Rea's interfer-
ence in county affairs, and they will
give the Good Government ticket a
good majority. At the same time the
league is making hard fight for Gage
and the legislative ticket.
Wherever meetings have been held
there has been good attendance and
great enthusiasm. The people now
realize that boss rule is the cause of
increased taxation. Newcomers In
search of homes are driven from Santa
Clara County because of the corruption
in county affairs and the unenviable
political reputation the county bears.
There was an unusually large meet
ing at Morgan Hill on Thursday night.
The hall was not large enough to &C
! commodate the people. This is in the
First Supervisorial District. where
BOSS" Rea is making fight to re-eieet
his brother to the Board of Supervisors
An equally enthusiastic meeting was
held at Moreland on Tuesday night.
These meetings serve to show how the
Good Government people are being re-
ceived throughout the county.
The campaign against the gangsters
in this city will be opened on Monday
night by q joint mass meeting at The
Auditorium under the auspices OF the
Republican Good Government League
and the Democratic County Central
Committee The meeting will be called
together by E. A. Hayes, president of
the Good Government League, and j.
H. Henry, chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, will pre-
side as chairman. The meeting will be
an interesting one and the shady side
of politics will be exposed. Judge j. r.
Lewis, Nicholas Bowden, j. II. Days
and j. H Campbell will, the posters
state, handle local politics without
gloves" A. H. Suzzalo is down for a

himself up on the side of the people. He has also taken cognizance of the syndicated press, and has remarked on the fact that in many instances the people were led on to ruin by newspa- pers and public journals controlled and run in the interests of monopoly. When Rev Bliss thus commented he must certainly have had in mind the Times, Herald and Express, and the Los Ange- les water fight.
 The special committee which has been appointed by the City Council to look into the matter of source of mountain water supply has started to work in earnest upon the difficult task, which has been entrusted to Council men Grider, Hutchison and Matthus. The effort will now be made by the syndicated water company press to dis credit the report before it is even made or a hint given out as to what it is or what it will be. This policy is clearly outlined by the Express, which is owned body and soul by the water company The intention is to claim that the three Councilmen who have been named are interested in some scheme or to discredit them in some way.

 De Lome may continue to regard the Maine's visit with joy through his newspapers, but at heart he sees in 1t the beginning of the end. With this start there seems little chance for the administration to escape intervention in Cuban affairs, however much Pres ident Mckinley may now deplore such a step. It seems inevitable.
 Secretary Long this morning re- ceived telegram from Admiral S1card, saving that the North Atlantic squad ron had gone into the inner anchorage at Dry Tortugas. The telegram was brought to Key West by the Fern, which is serving as a dispatch and supply boat for the fleet. The torpedo boats in the vicinity of Key West are under Admiral Sicard's orders, while near the squadron, to serve also as dis patch vessels and to give the vessels some practice in the drills for repelling torpedo attacks. This does not, how ever, interfere with the standing or ders to Lieutenant-C nt-Commander Kim ball. the commanding officer of the tor pedo-boat flotilla. and the little craft will continue on their cruise along the coast as far west as Galveston, and then, returning, go up the Mississippi River in the early spring. The Porter one of the fleet, sailed yesterday from Port Tampa for Mobile in company with the Ericsson. to be present at local celebration there, but they will probably return to the squadron before reSuming their alOng-ShOre cruise,

New York Restaurant-Keepers Complain Of the Exodus to the Pacific
 consf

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The exodus of girls from this city to the Pacific Coast and other Western points to secure posi- tons as waitresSes has been felt here, and the stories of high wages. easy hours, beautiful climates and cheaper living expenses have set girls in this city to thinking. Many of the uptown em- ployment agencies are now filling west ern orders, to the great discomfort of To- cal restaurant keepers.
 There Is likely to be serious trouble for us" said the manager of a large downtown restaurant to-day. 'if this sort of thing keeps up. Why. it is almost inn possible to keep goodlooking girls here since the California craze has set in. A number of them left two of our establish ments to take positions in hotel at San Diego, and only to-day I learned that four more had secured positions in Los Angeles. One agent advertised here about ten days for two girls with experience as waitresses. One of our girls accepted and no sooner had the report of her trip to the coast become known than four more followed her example. Our GUS 'tomerS, too, are in the habit of being served by some one waitress and con- stant changes of help means a severe loss of patronage. I cannot see why Califor- mia cannot turn out satisfactory girls and why they should have to come east for their supply, but l am told that the demand is for eastern girls exclusively"

Special Dispatch to The Call.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-It was not expected that the monetary convention would remain in session more than two days, and this expectation was realized. It settled down to work promptly at 10 o'clock this morning, and adjourned at 7 o'clock, subject to the call of Chair man Hugh Hanna. The business of the convention was to indorse the report of the Monetary Commission, which is now before Congress in the form of bill, and when this was done it prompt ly adjourned.
 b. J. Parker of Illinois presented a resolution approving the efforts of the National Business League to forward movement toward the establishment of a National Department of Commerce and Industries, the head of which shall be member of the Cabinet. Charles $. Fairchild, Secretary of the Treas ury, delivered a speech. He said:
 Men in the past have had stand ards of value and mediums of exchange or circulating mediums, or whatever name you may give them, with no laws save the customs of business; these they can have in the future without statutes, If statutes stand in the way of the irresistible force of the concur ring habits of men.
 Whatever be the standard named by law, men will continue to measure value by gold until, by the concurrence of their habits, they evolve something that suits their purpose better"
 The next speaker was Congressman Jesse Overstreet of the Indianapolis district, who introduced the monetary bill into Congress. He thought the bill would receive the thorough attention of Congress and said Speaker Reed would in no way retard it's careful considera- tion.
 If we are defeated" said he, i've shall not be conquered"
 C. c. Homer of Baltimore urged the importance of organization and said that Congress should understand that this plan was the will of the people.
 Mir. Wheelock of Minnesota, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, asked John N. Bullitt of Philadelphia to read the resolutions. These recognize the conventions obligations to the Execu- tive Committee and cordially approve the plan of currency reform submitted by the commission.
 The resolutions were discussed in five-minute speeches. and at 2:30, after two hours of favorable debate, were unanimously adopted.

TWO GEORGIA MEH M
 4 FIVE HOURS DUEL
Protected by Trees, They Battle With Ere- arms Until Both Are Seriously
 WOUnded

SENOIA, Ga, Jan. 26-J. T. Entrfkin and Clinton Morgan, white men, fought for five hours near here yesterday after noon. Both hid behind trees, Morgan using a shotgun and Entrikin a revolver.
 For some time there had been bad blood between the two men and Entrikin, who is bailiff, went to serve papers on Mor- gan. The latter caught him in the road and opened fire on him. After five hours conflict, in which both men were seriously wounded, a friend of Morgan came along and extricated him, and En trikin was compelled to return to town without his prisoner.
 Outside of the legal phase of the ques- tion, both men are deadly enemies and trouble is predicted when they are in condition to renew hostilities. Entrikin says that had it not been for two large trees, of which they took advantage, both he and Morgan would have been shot to death.
