oHILDREN's DAY HOME.
Coming Entertainment for a Most
Worthy Object.

The members of the Sacramento
Whist Club have kindly rendered the
use of their rooms in the BreuneI
building for Thursday evening, No
vember 10th, to the ladies interested in
the Children's Day Home, who pur-
pose giving charity whist.
Beautiful prizes have been donated
for the OCCASION, and light refresh
ments will be served by the young
society ladies Of the city.
The Children's Day Home is greatly
in need of financial assistance, as it
often cares for as many as 80 children
in one week, giving them good food
and clothing. It is a very worthy
object, and well deserving of being
maintained, as it helps poor women
to help themselves.
The tickets are so cents each, and
can be obtained at Purnell's book
store and the Art Students League,
525 J street. A very social evening
may be anticipated by the ladies and
gentlemen attending.

THE WAY TO DO 1T.

ised so much for the wealth, safety and
glory of this great republic as William
Mckinley. Hold up his hands, respond
to his call, support him and earn for
stinted praise and gratitude of the
America of the twentieth century"
Well, the way to do it is to send up
to Washington Republican Congress;
one in harmony with the policy of the
Administration. The way to do it is
to vote against the ambition of single
taxer Mcguire, who represents all the
Elements opposed to the President and
the Republican party and the policy of
the nation, and which represent essen
italy the hopes of the European enc
mics Of America.
| Trusting that the Administration will
be rebuked next Tuesday, the Spanish
Commissioners at Paris have already
gone so far as to indicate that unless
the demands Of Spain are complied with
/ Iand the American terms of peace re-
laxed, Spain will withdraw from nego-
tiation and renew the struggle of war.
They intimate likewise that in so doing
they will have the moral and perhaps
the material support of European
Powers, which are accustomed to see
adverse elections followed by retiracy

A TIME TO STAND BY"

Ex-President Harrison, in his letter
published in yesterdays dispatches,
hits the nail squarely on the head
when he points out that the real ques-
tion before the people in all the States
about to hold elections is whether the
Administration shall be supported and
indorsed regarding. its war policy and
the sequel to it, or be rebuked and
belittled in the eyes of the world by
a vote of want of confidence
AS he well says, the nation went into
the war with Spain supported by the
moral sentiment of the people,
by the Endorsement of the ma
jority of all partisans. The war
is over along the firing line, but our
foreign relations are still acute and
unsettled. In such a crisis elections
tion party will be taken abroad as
condemnation of its policy, and in con-
sequence our enemies will be embold-
ened and our friends dispirited.
He we'll says that the British have
good habit Of standing by when
their nation is conducting delicate and
irritating foreign questions 1t is a
time now when the American people,
regardless of party should stand by
the Administration. There is time
enough to fight out party .quarrels
when the nation has disposed Of the
momentous questions it now has in
hand, and in prosecution Of which ii
should present a united front.

NOT AN INDUSTRY.

Four years ago James G.. Mcguire,
then in Congress, was confronted by a
memorial from his constituents en-
gagged in wool growing. Thirty thousand
citizens of California petitioned the
Congressional delegation from this
State to oppose the wool tariff modifi-
cation proposed in the notorious Will
son bill.
Mr.. Mcguire fought that petition
teeth and, nail and to the petitioners he
replied from his place in the House:
Sheep raising is not an industry. 1t is
pastoral pursuit. It's encouragement
means the displacement of higher forms
of industry"
But Mr.. Mcguire still wears woolen
clothing. He believes in the virtues of
flannel shirt and warm coat. He
lives to see the deserted places where
once wool growing was the key to the
prosperity of whole sections, restored,
redeemed from wreck and desolation,
and all despite his contemptuous treat
ment of his constituents petition.
For the Republican party responded
to the appeal, protection was thrown
about the industry, and to-day it
flourishes, and still woolen clothing is
as cheap, and Mr.. Maguire's woolen
shirt costs him no more than before.

stream of California This is mis-
take. The $25, 900 recommended by the
Chief of Engineers is simply the usual
sum for incidental work, such as oper-
ating the snag boat, removing tempor-
