BETRAYED BY PIE-HUNTERS.

I'D ETRAYED by pie-hunters" is the phrase
X used by J. V. Webster in describing the
- manner in which the Popust party has been
duped by the Mcguire fusionists. 1t is striking
phrase and true one The only common interest be-
tween the parties to the fusion desire for office;
or in the expressive slang of the day, desire Tor
pie" Between genuine Populism and genuine Dem
ocracy there wide gull but between the selt-seek
ers who last summer obtained control OF the ma
chinery OF both organizations there is the solidarity OF
selfinterest Principles were sacrificed for personal
profit
Mr. Webster, who was the Popuiist nominee for
Governor four years ago, stands with Mr.. Shanahan
the nominee of the honest Popusts in this campaign
and refuses to give the OF silence to the
betrayal OF his party by the pe-hunters, He sees IN
the fusion trick to the whole future OF Popu-
sm and is that if the party is to be saved and
its principles maintained and sincere Popusts
must unite to break to pieces the polls the corrupt
bargain made at Sacramento.
It is notable that both Mr. Webster and Mr.. Shana-
han lay special upon the absurdity OF making
sngle-taxer the nominee OF the Populist party.
Mcguire has been so erratic politician, has had so
many varieties OF policy has shifted back and forth
in and out of the Democratic party so often it might
be supposed some portion OF his career, some frag
ment OF his creed would be found correspond with
the fundamental principles of Populisn. Such, how
ever is not the case. Mcguire has been everything
by turns except Populist The whole course of his
chcckered career has been antagonistic to Popusm
and to the farming interests which that organization
represents.
The menace OF the single tax is by Maguire's can
didacy made clear to be mistaken. As Mr. Webster
puts it: "Mr. Magure's idea OF taxation would drive
the farmers out OF business and would quickly put
their farms into the hands of bankers and mortgage
holders cannot conceive OF any system of taxation
that would be agreeable the Southern Pacific
and many large corporations than the single If
Mr. Mcguire is anxious to know how the farmers re-
gard his single tax ideas he should go upon few OF
the ranches of San Luis Obispo and Kern counties
and talk to the who own them"
The whole situation is that Populism has not only
been sold out but has been delivered into the hands
of its worst enemy The party of the farmer has been
turned over to the man who denounces the land
owner as monopolist of the worst kind robber of
humanity, violator OF the law of God. "Is it any
wonder" says Mr.. Webster that many Populists
have made up their minds that there is better pros
pect of relief through electng Mr. Gage than by per-
petuating the insincere official career of Mr..
Mcguire"
The pie-hunters have committed the betrayal and
made the trade with the singe-taxer but they can
not deliver the goods

HUMAN SKIN
LOVE TOKENS
OAKLAND. Oct. IL 1903

OAKLAND, Oct. IS, 1898.
To the Editor of The Call: I am only
a little girl IA years old and take a
great interest in reading The Call. I
read it every morning before going to
school and also the Sundays paper. I
notice a piece about people making
purses and belts out of human skin.
The article was about that poor young
girl at the edge of death. Those young
ladies coming to buy her skin. Just
think how she must feel to know that
she must be skinned when she is dead.
1t is perfectly horrible. What will peo-
pie do next? l was SO Disguised with
reading about those fools that I
stopped. People who haven't any more
sense than to buy the skin of human
beings should be themselves skinned
alive. People will be frying human
beings for breakfast next. Oh, how sick
ening. It is terrible. Wearing other
peoples skin; 1t is more than I can
bear. Human skin for a love tokeni
slippers, dress covers, purses and belts:
1T is horrible. - NELLIE ENNIS.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

M AYOR PHELAN must have had cold shivers
| last night when he read the result of the can
made by the Report AS a matter of pub
lie interest that paper had sent representatives out to
the eighteen Assembly districts OF the city to gather
through the medium OF ballot the sentiment regard
ing Phelan and Patton candidates for Mayor. The
confined TO the business portions of each
district and here the Phelan strength is supposed to
lie; yet the total practically tie Phelan receiv
ing 5o78 votes and Patton $3.50
A few short weeks ago Phelan thought there was
opposition worth mentioning and other people so
far agreed with him to fear none could be found to
lead for the Republicans what was considered for
lorn hope. Mr. Patton appealed to- and consented
to enter the Now the whole aspect is changed
In the residence portion of the city among the small
shopkeepers, the laborers, Patton is distinctly in the
lead The followers OF Phean depended largely upon
the solid business men, the citizens who had great
financial interests and who had confidence in the
Mayor Ii this class OF citizens who were visited
by the Report canvassers They have given their YER
dict Among them sentiment is equally divided
whereas short time ago it was practically all for the
Mayors reelection
1t may be fairly stated that Phelan Is losing in his
strongholds and, gaining nothing elsewhere. These
figures show that save for circumstance, now
wholly unexpected, his cause is lost.

SEVENTY LIVES LOST.
The Storm on New Engiand's Coast Re-
suits In Great Loss of Life and Over
100 Vessels are Wrecked.

Boston, Nov. 29.-It is known def
hitely that more than 10 lives have
been lost in the wrecks of tugs, schoon-
ers and coal barges during the sorm of
Saturday night and Sunday morning,
and. If the steamer Portland has also
gone down, as now seems possible, the
list of casualties will rise to i40, with
over 100 vessels of all descriptions
ashore, two score of them known to be
wrecks and and an unknown number
probably beneath the waves of Massa-
chusetts bay.
There is scarcely bay, harbor or
inlet from the Penobscot to New Lon
don that has not on its shore the
bones of some stanch craft, while along
Massachusetts bay, and especially
Boston harbor, the beaches are piled
high with the wreckage of schooners
and coal barges. The record, althou gh
hourly lengthening, is still incom-
plete, for that ocean graveyard off Cape
Cod is still to be heard from.
