THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.

= ROM the responsive exclamation given by Re- l publicans generally to Chairman McLaughlin's declaration of opposition to boss rule, corrup- ton in politics and the domination of corporations, is evident the phrase will be made the watchword of the party in the coming campaign, It is of those sentiments which catch the attention of the pub lie by being uttered at the right time in the right place and in the right way It is the best ralying cry that be formulated at this uncture and will be potent in rousing loyal Republicans throughout the State.
 As the time for opening the political campaign draws nearer 1t becomes and more evident that the supreme issue in this State is to be one of eiin- ating corruptng influences from our politics and es- tabshng honesty and patriotic regard for the pub lie welfare. The tariff issue is virtually dead and the silver issue is dying fast In support of neither of these bygone policies could any candidate for office hope to be elected in California this year. The people almost unanimous for protection and sound money. This being so the one question now before people is that of electing honest to office and making our State administration and our delegation in Congress truly representative of the great masses of the people.
 The Call has repeatedly pointed out that this is to be year of independent voting, and not a yellow dog year by any means. Being virtually relieved from any immediate fear of further free-trade tariff uHkeIHlB or HdSCO experimenting With the none tary system of the nation, the people will vote for those candidates whom they regard as being freest from any form of subjection to bosses to corruption to the domination of grasping corporations It is in fact to be the peoples year. and the party whichs most truly the peoples party will win.
 Chairman Mclaughlin has very justly stated in an interview published in The Call yesterday that "our party whole in this State is more free from boss rule and outside influence than any other party but must eliminate from it every vestige of such in- fuence and prove by actions and our selection of various candidates that we and they are in fact of and for the people" The truth of the statement is beyond gainsaying The defeat of the bosses in Re- publican conventions Republican victory at the polls. The triumph of the bosses would mean the defeat of the party
 The State Central Committee has now done what 1t could to prepare the way for honest politics and to assure the accomplishment of victory It now rests with the rank and file of the party to profit by the fair field that has been provided for them The primaries will not show victories for the people if the bosses are left free to control them All loyal Republicans must therefore begin prepare for the contest They must register. They must or ganize. They must go to the primaries They must vote for the election of free independent and honest delegates They must show that the Republican party is indeed the peoples party in practice as well as in precept and principle

AFTER THE WAR IS OVER.

I JUDGED by European critic nothing could o be more absurd than the proposed national con O ference called by the Civic Federation of Chi cdgo discuss the future foreign policy of the Unit ed States. debate by assembly of private citi- zens, however prominent eloquent on such sub ject, would be regarded by foreigner as of mere acaderical nature-something like a village debating society expanded to national proportions. He would not be able to understand why any considerable number of should take the trouble to participate in such debate, why any organization should be willing to defray the of 1t. Its arguments and its conclusions seemingly to be of no value Congress and the President will decide in due time what is to be done in every emergency of our rea- tons with foreign countries and the proposed grand conference far alien can see will be no more than species of oratorical circus free for all and go you please.
 In the United States however, we are accustomed to such conferences. They fill a large part in our political life, and in respects are hardly less inn portant than Congress itself It is through them tllat people formulate opinions on new issues and arrive at definite conclusions. We have had them at every stage of our recent history to discuss each broad issue that has arisen We have had slavery con- ferences, reconstruction conferences tariff confer ences, money conferences, irrigation conferences and n the natural and inevitable order of things we to have conference to discuss the nuch-vexed problem of what we shall do with the colonies cap- tured from Spain.
 While the proposed meeting like all others of similar nature will end in talk it will not be wholly useless. The American people have at present but vague idea of the factors in the problem they will have to solve when the time comes to determine what is to be done with captured possessions Accord ing to reports from Washington the commercial or ganizations of the country have rule urged the President to hold all the acquired islands as a means of extending commerce, while on the other hand strong protests against such policy have been re- ceved from other classes
 These differences of opinion are mainly founded differences of interest but to some extent they rest different conceptions of the facts involved in the issue, and the conference on the subject may have the effect of removing of them by eradicating popular misconceptions of the conditions of the islands and the responsibilities we would assume in annexing them.
 The Chicago movement is, therefore, one to which look forward with considerable interest It is only i'll America that the people meet to discuss in large assemblies the policy of our Government but the custom harmonizes well with our gene ra institutions and political processes What is said resolved at Chicago will not settle anything but it will help form public opinion, and public opinion in this country settles everything.

 SEQUENCE IN CRIBBAGE-K S. Pinole, Cal. The following is the law of sequence in the game of cr1bbage;
 The sequence of the cards is king, queen, knave ten nine, eight, seven, six, live, four, three two ace. The ace is not m sequencs with the king and queen. The king, queen. lSnave and ten, though they each count ten toward thirty-one in play, reckon m sequeHce 4 in the order given. Thus: Knaye' f' ten ten nine inc are in sequence If any three cards are played in such way that they can be recK- oned in sequence order, either from aDoVe downward or from below upward. without the intervention of another played card out or se- quence order, the player of the third cara IS entitled to mark three, called a run or three. If a fourth card is similarly played the player of it is entitled to run of four; II O hfth card is similarly played a of five accrues, and so on If there is break in the se- quence. and in the subsequent play the break is filled up without the intervention of a card out of sequence order, the player completing the sequence is entitled to a score of one for each card of 1t.
 It is not necessary that the cards forming sequence should be played in the sequence or der. Thus: A plays a four, B a deuce, a five B can then come in with a three ana make a run of two, three, four, five. After the three is played can come in with an ace or a six making a run of i've, or with a four making of four But If any cara not in sequence interVenes the run is stopped; Thus if four, deuce. five and five are played in this order three or six will not come in. as the second five, which is no part of the run, interyenes.
 If A plays 6, B 5, A ', A makes a. run of 3; if B follows with he cannot claim a run of 8, as the second inter- venes.

THE AGNEWS SCANDAL.

n CCORDING to reports from San Jose Mr. / ! Frank Hood Gould with his confederate Trustees of Agnews Asylum, Dr. Curnow and Mr. Hale put in most of their time on Sunday at the asylum, where they had conference and a lunch with Dr. Sponoge. As a result of the conference or the lunch they seem to have parted in good humor Curnow and Hale returned to San Jose and Jim Req, while Gould who has taken up his lodging at Agnews, remained with Dr. Sponogle
 In the natural order of things the confederated trustees ought to have preserved for themselves the attitude of impartial judges of the charges recently made against Sponogle and certain other employees of the asylum This, however, is a case outside the natural order of things. Mr. Hood Gould has half brother and something like whole girl involved in the scandals, and, for Curnow and Hale they have heaven knows what at stake for the San Jose boss has an aX above them and 1t to fall they might get such a shock as would cause them to lose their heads altogether.
 So it appears that the three, instead of acting as judges in the investigation of the acts of the em- poyes of the institution under their charge are to appear participants in the ofenses to some extent They are to stand or fall with their favorites and have prepared the whtewash beforehand so that the accused parties may be made as decent looking as possible when the time for the three to pro- claim their innocence and embrace them in public
 Whether this style of conducting an investigation of some Of the gravest charges made against the employees of public institution in this State will be permitted to pass unpunished remains to be seen. The State officials will have something to say about 1t, and their saying may render futile all the cunning plans laid at the lunch and the conference on Sunday
 In the meantime there is thing to be guarded against. MT. Hood Gould has shown as a Comnais- sioner of Building and Loan Associations that inc knows how to make one kind of report to the Gov -1a-
 printing it for the public He may try the same game at Agnews. The State officials will have to watch Mr. Gould While he is now in the position of legitimate game for an official shot, it must not be overlooked that he is of these hell diver ducks that is good at lodging.
