THE PINTO COMMITTEE.

lN THEN the Inopportune State Committed \N| adopted the advice of the Examiner that the
 AA Democracy of San Francisco could not Dc trusted to hold open primary, 1t was evident that authority to be usurped to carry out Flnto programme for the production of a plebald ticket There followed the arbitrary appointment of the committee of one hundred and its usurpation ot all party authority in this city, with power to appoint delegates and nominate tickets. There was Tn ex-
 stence regular party committee, with title derived
 from the people, but this was set aside Among the solemn oaths of the hundred was an engagement to not instruct for any candidates, nor advance any personal fortunes
 There was opposition among Populists and Demo- crats to fusion Populist convention representing one-half the counties of the State, met, divided nearly evenly and split into two parties One nom- mated Mcguire for Governor on Populst platform. The other nominated Shanahan the same platform. In the coming Democratic convention San Francisco will hold the control. The vote of her delegation will nominate candidates and install programmes That delegation will be appointed by the committee of one hundred That committee not 'in- structed' for Mcguire. It has merely indorsed' him. It will appoint solid Mcguire delegation, of course. So the Pinto programme IS pushed. The party to take its candidate from the Populists He is be chosen without primary reference to the peo- pie who are expected to elect him.
 It would be difficult invent series of intrigues and incidents more at variance with popular govern ment, more at war with every consideration of party honor It is brazen advertisement that party which is not fit to be trusted within reach of pr mary ballot-box, and is condemned by its leaders, is fit to control State and local administration of public affars
 The Call does not think that meanly of the Democ- racy of this State for the party has not yet indorsed its leaders verdict of dishonesty and unftness. If ticket so nominated is supported heartily by the party that verdict of guilty will be selfndorsed and the people will be warned against an organization which confesses its untness to govern itself and at the same time airs its fitness to govern the State It remains to be seen what the old liners will do
 When Dr. Glenn was the candidate of such a Pinto combination General Jo Hamilton was requested to stump the State for the ticket and he replied, T have stumped the State many times for Democrat, but never for half-breed." The men who were Democrats from principle may feel good deal like the old war-horse of Placer.

A VETERANS LAMENT.

 Who fought in the ranks Of Lee! Who charged the columns when sherman maoe With his legions for the sea! But the grasses of forest and field ana slaoe Wave over the boys of the old brigade! O, for the boys of the old brigade.
 Who fought by my side that day When we battled for victory blade to oiaoe' And the ranks at our rush gave way! But lone in the silence and shadow they're laid. And the grasses wave green OCT the olo
 brigade. O, for the boys of the old brigade!
 And the legions seem to come From a thousand graves, like oreastworks
 made,
 And march to the rolling drum! Like the shadows they march, and like shadows
 they fade The ghosts of the boys of the old brtgadei And God rest the boys of the old brigade, And hallow the turf that lies Towering over each crimsoned blade,
 And over their dreaming eyes. And the stars of God on the heights arrayeo Be sentinels over the old brigade! Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution

THE POLICE TORTURE CHAMBER.

cruelty which diabolical ingenuity could devise, to wiring some sort of confession from his victim. Chief Lees, employing the more humane modern methods, does much the same tnlng' and worries his victim with questions, cows him with threats, until, as Tn Lochner's case, the mans mind is wrecked, and he is reduced to a condi- tlon verging on insanity. The only difference is that the tormentor of the medieval dungeons was a properly ap- pointed official. holding his office in a perfectly constitutional way. What he old was wrong, horribly wrong, from our point Of view; but still, judged by the standard of his times, it was leg ally right. Chief Lees, on the other hand, is adopting medieval methods without shadow of justification, his torture chamber is more alien to the spirit. of the nineteenth century than the dungeons of the Bastile were to that of the sixteenth
 If we are really going to adopt this French system of secretly examining prisoners and suspects before a Judge Construction, d let us do it legally and with all proper checks against abuse Let us appoint able, upright men to conduct the examinations, and let us above all, repeal the portions of our law which provide that every man ar rested has right to be tried in open court at the earliest possible moment after his arrest. Let us give Chief Lees, by formal statute, the auto cratic power he now illegally assumes Let us give him the right to arrest any man he chooses. and to keep him in the tanks as long as he likes. Let us do all these things openly, so that all the people may know what is going on, and may realize the despotic power which they have unheedingly allowed the Chief of the Police to assume

YELLOW JOURNALISTS EXILED.

\ FELLOW journalists have, by order of General
 Shater, been expelled from Cuba The com
 mander of the American forces there could not have taken single step which would have been more to his credit Into exile and disgrace must go every representative of the New York Journal and the San Francisco Examiner. Their presence at the seat of war had been borne with wonderful patience Their malgn falsehoods their mpertinent meddlng, their spread of misleading information, designed to be- wilder the army well as the public, had become an lnolerable nuisance. They have richly earned the humiliation. Liars, mchief makers a reproach 10 civilization, bemish upon the profession they pretend to follow 1t is well that they should have received lesson.
 No excoriation reached them They were appar- enty dead to all of shame but to be pronounced unft to associate with soldiers and gentlemen to be ordered away like unclean hangers-on of the camp IS an experience so degrading that it must touch even them. Traitors to their country seeking fur ther to embroi it, to stir strife to new bitterness to insult officers and the dignity of Government they have been stripped of their power for i'll. If they have latent within them some lingering instinct ot decency they must feel as did Dreyfus when be- fore the assembled troops, he was shorn of his wean ons We congratulate Hearst that he had enrolled himself among the precious band. We commiserate the people of the United States that the exes mus, come back to these shores. However, they will more be able to annoy the public and harass the army.
 Now let fresh wreath of laurel be placed above the picture of General Shafter over the door of the Examiner; yes, make 1t two wreaths. A great moral victory has been achieved

4 "MEASLEY" MISTAKE.

D Y one of the curious errors which sometimes h excite grief in newspaper office, the types got A-> mixed in the making up of yesterday morning paper. A part of article about the local military camp and the sickness among the soldiers got an- neXed to of the jolly time the League of the Cross Cadets are having at Camp Montgomery at Santa Rosa The consequence the statement that there eighty of measles among the boys, whereas there measles have not been, nor any sickness of any kind and the boys are enjoying the best of health.

THE AGNEWS SCANDAL.

~ UR efforts to let the light in upon the scan | ] dalous management of the Asylum for the In- \/ sane at Agnews has, usual brought the $3oooo railroad contract organ to the front as de- fender of corruption This is not at all surprising since that boodng sheet would be out of its element without some unsavory job of throwing dust in the eyes of the public on hand. The fact that the con tract organ is now bettng the charges against Dr. Sponoge and his subordinates, and charging their accusers with corruption, is only additional evil dence that its genius for chicanery in compelling 1t to engage in every dirty on the wrong side is overpowering.
 To those who have perused The Calls exposures of the Agnews Asylum rottenness we need say noth- ing Extreme care has been taken in preparing the articles to publish only verified facts attested by potent witnesses. Nothing resembling prejudice interest has dictated the course we have pursued Our purpose, as the work itself shows has been to illuminate a regrettabe scandal, which has long been public property, for the purpose of bringing about reformation The statement of the organ that somebody's interest has effected the exposure is characteristic of sheet which backmas railroad corporations and, after receiving $22ooo for twenty months silence sells out to some other party and repudates its contract boodler who will not stay bought is capable of any infamy
 It is not necessary to comment extensively upon the treatment accorded to the Agnews scandal by the contract organ. The degraded position it assumes could only be the result of corrupt motive and there is reason to believe that it has been sold out again The organ stamps the scandal the result of "po- litical quarrel between two Democrats and inti- mates that of the Democrats has little the bet ter of because he has been able to call few Re pubcans to his assistance Its attempt to the impression that Boss Req of San Jose is taking sides with The Call in this matter is dictated by the spirit The sheet desires belittle the charges as preliminary to a whtewashing investigation, the foundation of which it is laying in its usual boodlesque style.
 The charges published by The Cal however, can not be brushed aside in this way. They disclose scandalous management at Agnews, and somebody will have to give them attention other regulations than that of Dr. Sponoge and the contract organ will suffer If they left for the next Legislature to investigate great deal of embarrassment may be experienced in keeping politics out of the asylum In our opinion the Governor and State Lunacy Com mission should give the Agnews institution a fair and honest overhauling, notwithstanding the cold water that will from on be thrown upon the affair by the railroad contract sheet A thorough cleaning out will be best for the people and all par ties concerned

uniform and resplendent in braid and tinsel promenaded about the Palace Hotel court to the admiration of men, women and hotel clerks who form class of their own. The colonel was dressed for the flag raising at Camp Barrett. It has been some time since the colonel regaled him self in all his military finery, and he felt uncomfortable. He himself confessed to a nal False feeling which, however, did not last long. At first Chad" hid behind the massive wooden pillars that decorate the west end of the court. He soon dis covered that he only invited notice by trying to avoid it, so he came out in the open and braved the raillery of his friends. In the midst of a personal and silent narration to himself of great and heroic deeds performed on the battlefield, the colonel was interrupted by a stranger, who, spying the insignia on his shoulder straps, addressed him in an apologetic manner and inquired about the army and when the colonel expected to get away to Manila. The colonel did not have time to disiilusionize the stranger, who was fattered by the pliant affability of the distinguished officer. The military man was invited to drink. He replied that he seldom drank, and then only on occa- sions. The stranger begged that this be one of the occasions, and the colonel re- tented.
 Then followed an invitation to lunch. No, the colonel rarely lunched except on occasions. This proved to be one of the occasions The stranger knew of par ticular vintage that he was positive would please the refined taste of such a con- noisseur as the colonel must be. A goodly quantity of objections were in order from the military chair, but they were swept aside by the other. Lunch finished the two started to walk down the '1ine'- the colonel happy with all things and con- scious of the fine figure he exposed to all the Market-street world, the stranger elated and overjoyed that he could be seen arm in arm with such a distinguished looking man, and a colonel at that. MT. Chadbourne had a very pleasant after noon. He was not allowed to separate himself from shekel. He will wear those glittering spangles soon again.
