THE RIGHT MAN FOR SHERIFF

n MONO the Native Sons who have become / \ noted for public spirit and patriotic regard for the advancement of the city and the State is Henry S. Martin, the Republican nominee for Sheriff A gentleman by birth and breeding, heavy taxpayer representing the business and property n terests of the city, genial and cordial in all the rela tions of life, he has thoroughly merited the popu larity he enjoys and the esteem in which he is held by all classes of citizens.
 While Mr. Martin has long been prominent in the order of Native Sons having for years held the office of grand treasurer, and has at all times taken keen interest in public affairs and fulfilled the political duties which our Government requires of citizen he has never held office. Nevertheless few men are bet ter known to the people His strong and winning personality has been felt throughout the community counted be faithful every duty intrusted to him.
 His nomination for the office of Sheriff Is one of the best made by the Republican convention To the ticket so strong in all respects his name gives add tiona strength His fitness for performing the work and sustaining the responsibilities of the place are n- disputable His business qualifications and experience will enable him to conduct the complexities of the work of the office with easy mastery of all its de tails while his high character and position in the city guarantees of the fidelity and integrity that are re- qured for the honorable performance of its duties
 Mr. Martin should have the support of all independ- ent voters we'll of Republicans He is the right for Sheriff, and when elected will the coun- ty efficiently in the office of the grand treasurer he has served the Native Sons

LAYING OF 4 GHOST.

D ELIEF i'll ghosts IS not universal Mysterious H noises of the night do not always impress. The A-> nearer, if constitutonaly timid, IS apt to say rats" and be literally But over in the jail at San Rafael there has been ghost which had almost attained the dignity of years Season after season 1t has been in the habit of soaring innocent men to confession and guilty death. It was no foolish ghost wasting its time and canking its chains for the mere fun of hearing them rattle.
 However, even this ghost has been disspated, scattered, erased It has become a memory No
 more as the graveyards yawn will it bask in the light, and with hollow groan adjure the sinner to pent For this particular ghost the jig is up It has been caught and found to be real meat. It clothes and has footfa such as can only be pro- duced by material brogan.
 The latest whom the ghost tried its dis pirtng tricks was not of a shrinking nature When he heard the wrath moaning in agony he remarked: Go chase yourself" As 1t shook it's fetters sighed, wept supp1icated he added: "Go on, you make me tired" Then the ghost retreated. It sensitive ghost and did not fancy being monkeyed with.
 Perhaps 1t is all right for Sheriff to play bogie when anxious to drive a prisoner to make clean breast of crime, but there other methods which commend themselves strongly to the humane. To the average transgressor the thumbscrew would be a moderate instrument of torture compared with the gibbering goblin. If the Sheriff is not satisfied with the ordinary methods of securing the truth let him try the thumbscrew adopt the hot and effective pincers

MR. PHELAN's SIDE SHOW.

N letter to The Call published on Monday C. B. 1 Perkins, conspicuous member of the Non-Partl- san Convention" complains because correspond ent has referred to his party in these columns as piece club" He thinks the designation IS dscour- and insulting, and he declares that the respect able citizens who compose the Non-Partlsan party do not deserve any such criticism. In his opinion they ought least have the credit of unsehhness since they devoting their time to the reformation of local politics considerable expense and personal annoyance to themselves.
 We agree with our correspondent in his objections to the designation piece club" The Non-Partsan party is not piece club" in the obnoxious in which that is generally used; that is to say does not sell its nominations and majority of its members are not looking for offices was recently the case with Mayor Phelans Committee Of One Hundred. As understand the term, piece club is club which for specified will take specified political course and it abae the evils of that species of politics that the Legislature III 1878 passed the anti-piece club
 While the Non-Partisan party cannot be appro- pratey called piece club its recent in poli
 tics has laid it liable charges of insincerity bunko steering jobbery and bad faith Had the Non-Parti- san convention demanded piece" for its nomina tons it would to our mind have committed less grave offense against the people than 1t has perpe- trated by bargaining with Mayor Phelans Demo cratic machine. As piece club its character would have been apparent and its influence nil Under its present cloak of responsibility is enabled to bunko Republican voters and deliver them to Democratic candidates In other words it is serving the devil in the livery of heaven and all the time holding up its hands and declaring that 1t is holy of holies.
 Had the local Republican party nominated a weak unsatisfactory ticket should have accepted the judgment of the Non-Partisan convention without comment But matter of fact the Republican candidates generally of high character and proved integrity, and such they entitled to Non Partisan indorsement Two-thirds of the Non Partisans Republicans and all things being equal Republican candidates least entitled their sderaton. But MT. Fitch's party not only nominated Boss Phelan himself for Mayor in advance of all venons but it has indorsed nine of his Supervisors and all his candidates for patronage offices This has been done at the behest of a ring of Democratic politicians in the Non-Partisan convention"
 The Non-Partisan party should not be called "pece club, but term might be invented to fit it's As organized it is contrivance for bunkoing Republican voters into voting the Demo cratic ticket and such it is fraud of the first mag nitude However, tail to Pheans kite 1t is bound to lose its character and reputation For all practical purposes it might we'll therefore be "piece club" It is certainly Democratic side show, which, con sdering the character of its membership, is equally as disreputable

HEATER MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.

NN ANAGER FRAWLEY, in dissMssing with a
 Call reporter the nuisance caused by persons who rush out of theater just before the close of the performance to the great annoyance of all who wish to catch the closing words and note the perfect finish of well-acted play made subtle and clever distinction between that form of offense and those which are given by ordinary i'll breeding. He said the nuisance the result rather of than of To show the correctness of this dstinc ton he pointed that the boys in the gallery offend in that way, while in the highest society of Boston where manners almost sacred acts of religion, the offense IS common.
 Doubtless the rabble that hastens to rush from theater will be much pleased with this distinction It will please them to learn that they guilty of bad manners but only of social custom. None the less they abble and their customis just crude coarse and disordery as if it were bad manners.
 That the gallery does not offend is not surprising It is well known that in every English speaking cou- Ty any the habitues of the gallery constitute the best authority on dramatic matters that we have They the best judges of what is in nature and in art, and also of what is due from audience to the actors and what is due to itself IT, according to Mir. Frawley's distinction of words it may be said they have manners, they have at least good GUS toms, and that better than the rabble in the orchestra stalls by every true standard known to gods or humanity.
 
 by Boston and adopted with favor by people of self satisfying elsewhere, in our own artistic city. Some men and some will always delight to stalk down the aisles after the general audience seated in order to show of That of thing is done even in the churches. Others will like to hasten out before the curtain falls in order to have chance to rush the grower before they take the cars It is GUS tom, and custom it seems, is greater than man. ners.
 Difficult may be the task of making this custom so much honored in the breach than the ob- servance that it will be longer observed by any body it is worth while making the attempt It is aI- ways worth while to fight a nuisance Ii no other means of shaming the rabbe be devised the gal lery gods might be authorized to boot the custom for a time A few well directed voleys of Cheese it.p Stag the geezer, "Get his nibs ""Contemplate the dame' Where did you get that tle?" 'Sit down on yourself" and other saber cuts of Saxon speech might make the custom uncomfortable that none would dare to persist in it.
