STRENGTH IN CONGRESS.

~ COMMENTING upon recent display of the ex- ceptiona influence of Vermont in Congress the O Philadelphia Times says "One reason why Vermont secures the services of statesmen of high rank to represent her in Congress is that her people give their representatives chance to become familiar with their duties. The Republicans of the State have
 just renominated the two present representatives in the lower branch, MT. Powers, who is now serving his fourth and Mr. Grout who is serving his eighth term" @
 This view of the origin of State influence in Con- gress is unquestonaby sound. The great States of New York and Illinois, despite their preponderance of votes in the House. have less influence there than smaller States whose Representatives make up for their lack of numbers by familiarity with the methods of conducting business in Congress and their alliances formed with other Congressnen during their long term of service.
 In this connection it may be noted that the people of Iowa have learned the advantage of giving their representatives time to acquire influence at the capital It has been recently stated that when the present members of Congress from that State finish the terms they are now serving they will have had total of years experience in national legislation which makes for the thirteen members average of nearly eleven years The total for the two Senators alone is fifty years; one member of the House has had eight terms another six five each, three fur each two three each and two others two each. =. California will never hold her rightful place at the national capital nor have due weight in Con- gress until the people have learned the les son SO proftably applied by the States we have named We have been yacillating and shifting at home and have changed our Congress sional delegation as often elections As a result we have now at Washington more free traders and free silver men to misrepresent industries and our financial interests than protectoniss and sound money to represent them. We are weak where we should be strong and less potent in the great councils of the nation than Vermont or Maine
 An effort should be made at this election to send to Washington delegation thoroughly representative of California and thereafter maintain it comparatively unchanged from term to term. When can point to a Congressional delegation with a service record like that of Iowa shall not see our interests SO often sacrificed as IS the case The reciprocity clause of the Dingley tariff, for example, would have had in it something else than California products We would not now be purchasing market in France for Iowa meat by paying for it at the expense of Cali forrla wine.

AS. TO. THE zoo.

IT N: evening paper, which occasionally gives an E\ imitation, of thinking wants to know why The \ Call: fayors a=liberal expenditure for the inn provement of Golden Gate Parl, and not a cent for the establishment of monkey ranch in the Mission. We're the. paper in question: guided by intelligence it would never have formulated such inquiry Y ct an answer is :easy:to give and may fall under the eye of persons so equipped that they can apprec- ate it.. :: - -5 = : :. 2
 The Call favors liberal appropriation for Golden Gate Park, because this park IS already of the finest in the world, source of comfort and pride, capable of being made more and more attractive Col den Gate Park is not only beautiful breathing spot but the one feature San above all others: People from every part of this country and from abroad have viewed it with aniazemeht and admiration. To n any measure check it's develop ment would be distinct loss. It belongs more over, to the whole city It is accessible to all It is not for the especial benefit of the Mission of North Beach, These facts constitute a sufficient ex- cuse for advocating liberal appropriation.
 As to the proposed monkey ranch; 1t would be for the Mission alone. The amount applied to it would have to be taken from the fund now devoted to a park for the entire city, There is need of it. be- cause there is still much unoccupied space in Golden Gate Park, There is no justice in 1t, because the majority of San Franciscars would not care to cease the habit of going to the established resort, and whatever attractions might be put in the Mission would be at public expense for the benefit of few The city has money available for the purchase of site These few of the features of the situa- tion which cohstrain The Call oppose the Mission zoo, and the consequent cripping of Golden Gate Park.
 It is worth remembering, also; that the proposed zoo is real estate scheme that syndicate desires to unload the city for far more than legitimate value lot of land of which might otherwise be unableto dispose certainly not at the absurd figure mentioned in connection with the proposed sale These are a few of the reasons for the position we have taken, and propose to maintain. The whole scheme is piece of shameless robbery and none knows it better than the editor of the evening paper to whose work passing reference has been necessary II further proof of the character of the scheme is needed attention is called again to the circumstance that it has his support.

DISCLAIMING A PARTNERSHIP.

T-N R. :PARDEE.~ candidate for Governor, denies
 rather vaguely that the railroad is behind him, ~ and somewhat more specihcally that the Ex- aminer is doing all 1t can to advance his political interests Yet both assertions have the merit of be ing true That the good doctor should be aggrieved at the publicity is not surprising That he should have used his influence to have the Oakland Enquirer make denialfor him is perfectly natural That he owns the Enquirer makes his influence considerable. Yette~ doctor should not have permitted his aglta- tion to carry him to extremes To the dSpassionate array oftacts printed n The Call yesterday he makes the response that the writer lied. Such statement lacks dignity, and fails to carry conviction.
 The Enquirer man was doubtless doing the best he knew how but he got himself into sad tumble He asserted that the article to which he trying object has been inspired by desire to defeat both 7 Oakland aspirants,. Pardee and Davis A little fur theron lie ayerred with equal drectness that the ddate who is not .Pardee is the railroad man, and that the purpose was to fall into his arms in due season. ..>"<<
 The doctor, needless to say, is wrong. The article which stirred his bile merely foftf the aspect of politics in Alameda County. The writer who pre- pared: 1t, in collecting material, found that Pardee and the Examiner and the railroad push were all engaged: in4fnflating a Pardee boom They had be- come campaign partners Acknowledgment is made freely that it IS queer combination but even con sideration for the: doctors feelings would not permit conscientious scribe to overlook it Now the quick swoop made by the doctors paper to the rescue of the Examiner confirms all that had been printed Or, per haps, hedsavows the association, not for the sake of the yellow sheet but because he ashamed of it him self '#.:=*. :*:
 If the doctor expects to impress the community with his sincerity he must do more than deny that which is known to be true Instead of disclaiming the partnership he ought to repent, move for dis solution, demand the appointment o a receiver and a speedy accounting. :...' ...:. .=+.e

THE NEW ISLAND THEATRE.
o the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
An article in one of our morning pa
pers states that 1.-The Gem" had been
selected as the name for the new theatre
at Peaks island, seems to have caused
considerable comment among the pat
rons of that resort
1t is hard to understand why the title
Gem" should have been deoidedS upon
when SO many more appropriate and
pleasing ones could have been found. In
nearly every city in the country one is
confronted by the words 1.-THE Gem, -
over the doors of saloons, beer gardens,
bakeries and restaurants. The name is
usually associated with such resorts.
1t seems to me land others) that Nc
Cullum's theatre" would have been more
appropriate on account of the pleasant
memories that are brought to mind by
that name. Even the management OF the
Casoo Bay Steam boat company will ad-
NIT that it is a name that has drawn
thousands to their island resort for the
reason alone that it. was synonymous
with clean, pure, well-acted dramas. The
name of MeCullum was a guarantee OF
the best to be had, aud the public knew
it.
I am not acquainted with Mr.. McCul-
lum, but let us have the name "McCul-
lum s Theatre on the new playhouse for
the sake of old memories If for no other
reason. "MEDICUS."
