THE TRIPLE HAMMER.

THE treaty of Paris escaped defeat by the skin
OF its teeth. Under the enormous pressure
q brought to bear upon the Federal Senate one
vote would haye changed the result. Had Senator
Perkins followed his own convictions instead of
void instruction, it would have been beaten in fact as
it beaten in principle Other Senators voted for
the treaty with the distinct understanding that the ad
minstration did not propose to hold the Philippines
longer than was necessary for the fulfllment of a
moral obligation, that exists only in the imagination
o. those who look toward sentiment and row toward
revolution.
The adoption of the treaty, therefore, was no vic
tory for imperialism annexation On the con-
trary, it indicated the growth of public opinion
against both forms of treason to the constitution The
treaty itself settles nothing in respect to the Philip
pines, except the payment of twenty millions for
fictitious title, unaccompanied by possession, and
which originated in the exploded fallacy of divine
vicegerency, parceed out among the holders of
monarchical baubles Yet the New York Herald and
the New York Journal and the San Francisco Ex-
amner sound peal of triumph and misrepresent the
treaty by declaring that it represents unanimous
American sentiment, and The Call by asserting that
its opposition to Imperialism and annexation sprang
from its relation the domestic manufacture of re-
fined sugar
The Journal and the Examiner resemble rattle
snake cut in two. The head is raised and the forked
tongue spts in New York while the tail eebly rattles
i'll San Francisco. Those papers are so demented
through egotism that their national policy has be-
come the laughing stock of America
The Herald with splendid news service that con-
serves its circulation and its advertising patronage
upon the question of imperialism and annexation
does not speak for American public opinion. Many
years ago it supported Walker and the other fill
busters who tried to place country in the attitude
Of violating the eighth and the tenth commandments
Ii has drifted into an attitude more European than
American It's views on the result of the war with
Spain are unmistakably hostile to system of gov
ernment and harmonic with those of the gamblers
the spectators, the uncean combinations the as
pirants for military glory, who seek to false views
CT trade and commerce to benefit themselves and to
extinguish the sentiment of American nationality
upon constitutional basis
On the vantage ground of American civilization
The Call stands for individual rights for equality be-
fore the law for obedience to the constitution foi

TWO MEN AsPHYxIATED.
Both Found Dead in Hotels and Given
the Benefit of a Verdict Of
Accident

Two more unfortunates passed out of
this life through the gates of gas last
Thursday night. The first was Lee Cau-
dill. He arrived at the Hackmeier Hotel
No 123 Eddy street, last Thursday after
noon, and registered as from Sonoma
County. Yesterday morning at 9:45
the bedmaker smelled strong odor of
gas coming from Caudills room, the tran
som of which was open. A forcible entry
was made, the room was found to be full
of gas and Caudill was dead in bed. The
stopcock of the as fixture was turned
fully on Before retiring Caudill gave the
clerk of the hotel $13 to keep for him until
morning, and said that he intended to
start for Coos Bay on steamer yester-
day afternoon.
There are two theories of the case. The
first is that Caudill blew out the gas;
the second that he retired leaving the gas
burning, and that it was accidentally ex-
tinguished during the night or turned off
at the meter and then turned on again.
The hotel people deny that the gas is
turned off during the night, and the only
theory left is that the deceased blew out
the gas
The second victim was Thomas Hogan.
He was found dead yesterday morning in
his room at the New Western Hotel. He
had gone to bed drunk on the night be-
fore, and it is believed that he turned the
gas stopcock carelessly and left it partly
open, after extinguishing the flame.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict
of accidental death in both cases.

the purity of American blood for the rejection OF all
communicating association with inferior races, tor
trade and commerce in their higher aspects and IN an
uncompromlsing resistance to treason. The sugar
interest in this State is spending millions in the de-
yelopment OF great American industry and for the
benefit OF white labor Its payroll exceeds in amount
those of all the imperial and annexation papers OF
New York and of San Francisco. If Immediate
profits were its sole object, the cheap labor OF Asia
would fill its Golfers to repetion But for years,
while the internal welfare and prosperity OF the
American people have been treacherousy abandoned
by the yellow press it has steadily manifested dts con-
hdence in American institutions and its deernin
alton to use its power and its influence for the bene-
ht OF the American people this continent. The
Call will continue to foster and to encourage this
internal improvement and resist all the efforts of
American corruptonists and allies of Great Britain
who have abandoned the republican experiment to
duce to bully eighty millions of intelligent and
educated Americans into act of national suicide.
Let the triple hammer of the New York Herald and
the Journal Examiner continue to pound the nails
with which they are laborng to perorate the Ameri-
can flag. The Call will still recognize the Stars and
StriDes

THE SCHMID MURDER.
An Alibi Proved in the Cases of
Flanders and Forrest, the
Susnected Men

Coroner Hill held an inquest yesterday
into the cause of the death of Charles
Adolph Schnid, the ex-convict, who was
murdered in his room in the lodging
house at S15 Stockton street last Friday
night. Detective Wren and DR.. Pryor Of
the City and County Hospital swore that
Schmid made an ante-mortem statement
to the effect that Al Flanders, master of
the tug Mile, and Charles Forrest, a
barber, had entered his room and assault
ed him, and that Forrest had used a
hatchet upon him. Detective Wren told
also of having followed blood spots from
the lodging house to Pine street, half a
block from the residence of Forrest. For
rest swore that he never left his room on
the night of the murder.
Flanders swore that on Friday night he
was at home attending to his wife, who
was i'll, and that he did not leave the
house at night at ALL This testimony was
corroborated by his wife.
It was Shown that Schmid had also stat
ed that his aggressor was a soldier sur
geon, whose sweetheart Schmid had cap
tured and on another occasion he said
that a Chinanan had inflicted the wounds
upon him.
The jury returned verdict that the de-
ceased was murdered by unknown per-
sons.

CALLED HER HIS ANGEL.
Mrs. Regan Had Another Lover Be-
sides the Murdered Policeman
Thomas Kennedy

The whole of yesterday afternoon was
taken up with the cross-examination Oh
Mrs. Elizabeth Regan, charged with the
murder of Policeman Thomas Kennedy,
and it was not concluded when Judge
Graham adjourned court at O'Clock ana
fixed the continuation of the case Tor
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Attorney Barrett put Mrs. Regan under
a severe cross-examination and got her to
admit that several statements made by
her to Chief Lees after her arrest were
not true. She said that Kennedy did not
get his revolver and rush at her, nor dld
she take the revolver away from him.
She did not remember If she. said TO Ken
nedy IF you come after me / will let
you have it," She never had the revolver
in her possession. Both she and Kennedy
had hold of it,, and she did not know how
he got shot.
Several times during the insistent ques-
tioning of Attorney Barrett Mrs. Regan
lost her temper, but after being quietly
admonished by the Judge she cooled
down.
The prosecution endeavored to introduce
some letters, but Attorney Long strenu-
ously objected and the Judge sustained
him. The letters would show that Mrs
Regan's claim that Kennedy was her only
lover was. false. A number of them are
signed Harry Bertheian," and in them
he calls Mrs. Regan MY own sweet an
gel'' and my own little pet"

FOR THE ISOLATION Of LEGISLATORS

M R. DIBBLE has introduced into the Assem-
bly, bill which declares, 1T shall be unaw-
full for any person, either Individually or as an
officer or member of any committee or association,
to demand or solicit of any candidate for the Legis
laure that he shall vote for against any particular
bill or specific measure that may before the
Legislature or for against any particular person
for the office of Senator in the Congress of the
United States, and and so forth, etc, for
era varieties of specifications
Under this bill should it become a law, no person
can be pledged to anything except what is in his
party platform No citizen can suggest anything to
a candidate-can, in fact, hardly talk to him on any
subject connected with politics in the most in
direct way. Platforms are long and wide, but they
do not cover everything in sight, and the man who
should ask candidate stand in for local measure
or some reform overlooked by the platform makers
would be violator of the law and subject to CON
dign punishment.
1t is bill to put paddock the mouths of men
and women from the time nominations made un-
til the campaign ends Woe be to the thoughtless
citizen who talks to candidate upon even the most
trivial subject with this inhibition hanging over him.
Pubc-spirited reformers who wish some evil cor
rected if they speak to a candidate must go to jail
Temperance folks who wish liquor law go to Jail.
Singe-taxers with their theories go to jail Citizens
who wish an appropriation for exposition go to
jail. Ladies who would like to get support for
woman's suffrage go to Jail Cattlemen who wish
quarantine law go to Jail. Preachers who wish a
Sunday law go to jail. Even the wife of the candi-
dates bosom who should express a sweet feminine
caprice as to the need of reform goes to Jail
Dibble asks too much. Why paddock the public?
Why send all the world to ail' 1t would be easier
and better to provide that as soon as man is nomi
mated for theLegisature he shall be at conveyed
to San Quentin and kept in close confinement where
no one can speak to him until after election.
