The Duchess d'Uzes has passed a suc- cessful examination in France as a driver of automotors. She took her ex- amners, who were a state engineer and two experts appointed by the Prefect of Police, on her car through the Bois de Boulogne and around Paris. She drove at the regulation maximum of speed which is sixteen kilometers, or about ten miles, an hour. According to those who are supposed to know, automobilism is now fast supplanting the bicycle craze in France.

JUDGE MAaUIREs LETTER.
Even His Friends Think He'd Better
 Keep Out of Print.

Excited by the general harsh tone of the press criticisms upon his celebrated piracy remarks anent the Government seizing Spanish ships conveying supplies to the enemy, Hon. James G. Mcguire flew into print In last Sundays Call. and we're of the opinion that when he cooled off he was sorry he allowed his anger to run away with his judgment. The Call answered his letter on Monday, and we advise our readers to endeavor to read both productions. Here is an extract from The Calls answer:
 Judge Maguire's letter in its manner Is an index to his intellectual methods and his mental stature. He conceives that we hold him up to be seen by himself be- cause he was born on farm We con- fess the infelicity of not knowing that he he takes pains to advertise it. He has been so constantly an office-seeker and office-holder that 1t was natural to sup pose that he was not born at all but just nominated for an office and raised on a salary. ry."-Hollister Free Lance
 We believe that it was Martin Van Buren who gave a friend the advice. Walk forty miles rather than write a letter. The epistolary art may have advanced to a point that letter-writing is less dangerous than 1t was thought to be by Van Buren. Still, there is good sense in the advice, and we commend it to the consideration of Congressman Maguire, who has recently written a three-column letter to the San Francisco Call. He should not have done so. Nearly every public man Is misrepresented and ma

It would seem that at this time man educated fed and clothed by the Government, as Schwerin was. ought to be glad of the opportunity to show fitting gratitude by offering his services to the nation whose ward he has been and whose pay he drew until his relative, Huntington, snatched from the perils of naval life, with its chances of martial and the grand bounce. But now duty calls even to Schwerin He ought to volunteer to rejoin the navy rather than

Appeal to Free Silver Republicans.

Appeal to Free Silver Republicans.
The paper of the silver republicans
is as follows:
The cunning plans Of the benefciar-
les of the gold standard and the advo-
Gates of monopoly are just nearing
completion, They need but to win one
more victory to become supreme and
to be able to defy the sovereignty Of
the people for generations. The pol
icy of the republican administration is
a plain confession that the secret
authors Of the st. Louis platform of
1896 are i'll absolute control of that
party. Power thus secured under
false prctcnses is to be ruthlessly used
to carry out the Interior designs of the
cOnspirators.
Honest men should hesitate no long
er il opposed to the gold standard in
all its rigor, if opposed to the retire
ment OF government currency, if op-
posed to the tyranny OF Il syndicate of
national banks Of issue. if opposed to
every kind of trust and monopoly, the
| offspring and adjunct of the money
| power.
! Before this awful and imminent
peril to the institutions Of our country
every personal ambition must melt
away and merely partisan contention
must be stilled. While this issue re-
mains unsettled democrats, populists
and silver republicans must stand
shoulder to shoulder in q common
cause. United we can save the repub-
lie, the last refuge Of self government,
the one remaining hope Of liberty to
succeeding centuries. The policy of
our foes is to divide us shat they may
conquer US. In every state and con-
gressional district in the union the
closest cooperation should be our
WatchWord. The man or organization
that in this grave crisis becomes re-
SpOnsible for discordant councils or
divided energies does not help us.
Patriots and citizens, we call upon
you to unite in this great common SER
vice OF citizenship and patriotism. No
man need surrender his party convic-
tlons No existing organization need
be abandoned. While striving to over
throw common enemy no good pur-
pose is served by emphasizing points
on which we differ But until this
final assault Of the enemy upon the
last ramparts of our industrial and
social independence is repealed. until
the control Of the money system Of the
country is rescued from the hands of
special interests and secured to the
whole people the 1ncilbcrs OF the great
armies of political reform in every
part of the United States should act in
mutual justice and harmonious CO.
operation for the general welfare. TO
this object, thus urged upon our
friends everywhere, VIC hereby pledge
jointly and severally our earnest and
constant cndeavor.
