THE MUNICIPAL ISSUE.


y S the primary approaches out OF which IS to
| \ come the first local government for San Fran
cisco under the new charter, the political squad
rons are gathering and marking time, in anticipation
OF the good time coming, when they will inherit the
substance OF the taxpayers. We the word political
rather than partisan because the file cosers and cap
tans in these noisy forces have no use for proper par
tisanship except as war cry command the vote a
the honest and busy party man who IS too apt to SINK
his civic responsibility in the belief that the principles
OF his party are at stake in municipal election FROM
its standpoint OF perfect independence in municipal
politics, The Call has but one interest in the contest
and that is the best government for this city which
is least likely to be secured by who use party
pride and ambition 10 get office which they use for
personal purposes and honors to which they have no
title OF merit Each party IS hydra now, with more
than one head and each head voracious appetite tor
the spols OF the city and the spOation in some tor
Of the taxpayer The independent citizens have now
ty law in this protected primary, opportunity to
give tone for many years TO come, to the local gov
ernment OF San Francisco. By mutual agreement
they can constitute a convention in which the inter
ests OF the whole people will be considered, and to get
before the voters ticket composed OF candidates to
whom the administration OF city is pure matter
o. the cleanest business.
The Democratic hydra with its two heads and the
before the public From the record made by the lead
ers OF each the people know just what to expect il
either succeed. On the side OF the Republican organ-
zation there is offered leadership that camps in two
saloons and knows only the politics OF swipes Be
tween these the people have ample scope and verge TO
put through the primaries convention which will
represent the character, the ceanness and the civic
pride OF San Francisco II they constitute and com
mission such convention and with such result, The
Call will support it.
II the people, however fail in the duty which they
owe their city and themselves, The Call will still
stand by their interests in supporting such individual
candidates as promise better than the city has had.
The interests at stake too vast, the character OF
the city is too important, for paper independent in
municipal politics to abandon the people to the
consequences OF their own neglect We repeat that
no self-seeking enemy OF public interests shall be
elected on any ticket if The Call prevent it by
an independent fight against him.

A MAINE BEAR STORY.
The PeIt of the Mother Bear Used rs
Rug Attracts One OF Her Cubs
Into Captivity.

An old she bear had been killing
sheep and soaring the women and chill
dren in Maine township, and farm
er, who was dead shot, took an after
noon off to hunt the animal. While
passing through a blackberry patch, he
found fat cub, and after short chase,
caught it in his arms. The little fellow
fought and bit until the man cutfed and
choked it into subsection, and then the
cub cried for its mother. She came, and
the hunter acted quickly. Placing the
cub between his knees, he took up his
rifle and waited. The mother bear had
evidently seen firearms, for she halted
at a respectable distance. The man
squeezed the cub with his knees until
it howled, and at this the mother threw
away her caution and dashed on until a
rifle ball finished her career. The hunt
er went home with his prize, and after
claiming the cub in the barn, got the
old bears skin and tanned it in rough
way. Then it was spread on the floor
by the side of his sisters bed. One
night about week later, when the
young woman was about to retire for
the night, she heard a commotion under
the bed, and saw something black and
hairy moving around underneath. She
screamed at the top of her voice; her
brother came running and pulled out
another cub. 1t was mate to the cap
tive in the barn; and it had smelled out
its mothers pelt.

LUMBER SCHOONERS.
There Are Not Many OF This Kind Of
Craft Now Seen in the Chi
ca@O River.

''Have you noticed the great falling
off in the number of lumber schooners
in the Chicago riveH?" said the old
bridgetender as he leaned on the rail
of his bridge and watched a mighty
steel steamer majestically sweep
through the murky water with thou
sands of tons of ore in her hold. "a few
years ago, comparatively, the old wood
en- schooners with their tapering masts
showed up in the distance almost every
time the tug whistles sounded for Il
bridge to open. Now we are warned by
the deep cough of steamer, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The lumber car
riers, which used to plod slowly down
the stream laden almost to the waters
edge with sawed lumber, shingles, &C.
dar posts and all that sort of stuff from
Michigan forests, are not here any
more. Not one in five of the old fleet
of lumber schooners makes Chicago as
they did. Well? One reason is that the
Michigan forests are getting played out
and the Wisconsin lumbermen are float
ing their logs down the Wisconsin riv-
ers to the Mississippi country and cut
ting them there, giving Chicago the 60
by. A whole lot of the trade has been
diverted In that way, and again lots of
it goes to South Chicago. That Calu-
met-country is rapidly filling up with
lumber yards, because the river hauls
are shorter and the tug bills are, there
fore, less. If the Chicago lumber men
don't do something to help matters
they will find themselves up stump
before long"

WHEN rAE BABY WANT AWAY.

When the baby went away.
Oh, how dark the dreary dayi
In the skies the dismal clouds were hang
ing low;
! Darker yet within the door,
And our aching hearts were sore.
While we watched until the darling child
should go.
flushed our voices were and still.
Crushed our hearts with heavy Ill.
And our eyes with binding, scalding tears
were full;
For the pallor on her face
Marked how Death swept on apace,
And the flames once flashing in her eyes
grew dull.
Then gasp once more for breath
One last struggle fierce with Death,
And the pain-wrecked, suff'rlng little
form was still;
Broke in sobbings then my grief.
And I found in tears relief,
Though submissive to the mandate Of
Gods will.
When the baby went away,
Though so dark the dreary day,
Yet "a light that never was on land or
sea"
Burst the dismal clouds apart,
shone like flame within my heart,
And dispelled the darkness orear en-
shrouding me.
For she left the gates ajar
To the blessed land afar,
And It's splendor and its sweetness swath~
ed my soul;
1 could see the great white throne"
And the Shepherd with His own
Safely folded while eternal ages roll.
can see nv baby now,
With her calm and noble brow,
AS she smiles upon me while plod on
earth;
Aye, I feel her loving touch,
And remember that "of such
Is the kingdom" into which she then
had birth!
When the baby went away
No more dark is that drear day,
For she opened wide to me the 'pearly
gate!"
Ave, She blesses now my life,
Stays its passion, stills its strife,
Spurs me onward, makes my heavy heart
elate!
When the baby went away
Like an angel. then, she lay
Like an angel, now. she seems to speak
to me:
Bids me take life's burdens UP.
Calmly drink its bitter cup,
Bravely forge my forward way, though
hard it be!
Oh. how grand has life become
Throbs and thrills my heart, then numb,
With the larger hope and promise Death
has given!
For I know her budding soul,
While eternal ages roll,
Will be blooming out in blessedness In
heaven!
And such gladness given to her
To my soul shall serve as spur
To be ever drawer, holier, day by day!
For she liveth still, ali me!
And Deaths Wanted victory
Lost It's venom, when the baby went
away!

1naU he was Encouraged, stranger ar
rived at the inn and foolishly placed
in his keeping a large amount of money
in gold. This the stranger had received
from sale of property, and was on his
way to the city to invest 1t. Not dar-
ing to travel with SO large sum in
cash alone at night, he had sought shell
ter at the village tavern. The poor
landlord had been sorely te>hpted by
the sight of the glittering gold and
had put laudanum in the strangers
coffee. Then he had gone In the night
to his room, where he found him sleep
ING soundly, and had committed the
murder by driving fence nail into
his head. He had washed the wound
very carefully and covered it with hair.
He took from the dead man everything
that could in any way identify him,
but was careful to leave his watch and
a little money in his room. The next
morning after he had prepared for
him a nice breakfast he went up to call
him, and he discovered that the
stranger was dead. AS an unknown
and apparently poor man had suddenly
died in his house, he took charge of
the remains, and no one had ever sus-
pected him. But he had always been
wretched and had never enjoyed his
ill-gotten wealth, for his conscience had
troubled him sorely. He said he was
glad some one had discovered the truth
at last, for he felt relieved upon con-
Tossing. He could never bring himself
to destroy the papers and deeds he had
found upon the dead man, but had care
fully hidden them. He told where they
were and they were produced In court.
James Kelley, former landlord and
murderer, had the services Of a clever
attorney, who fought his case bravely,
first introducing somnambulism, but
without avail; then he tried to prove
insanity for his client, but his brilliant
efforts were unsuccessful. He could
not save the prisoner. The jury brought
in the verdict and he was condemned,
found guilty and executed.
The papers that were found and pro-
duced in court proved the dead stran-
ger to be Lucy's long lost uncle. The
money he left was given to her with its
Is years of accumulated interest. The
law decided that.
DR.. Charlie rejoiced that he had been
instrumental in discovering the muir
ilerer, but said it was his love for anat-
omy that brought 1t about. He is more
devoted to his profession than ever.
After the trial was over he again Wis
tied the village and went to the grave
in the paupers' field. With the old
grave digger's valuable assistance
careful collection of bones was made
and the skull placed with them and
given a Christian burial. Then DR..
Clarke married his sweetheart and
they live very happily, as there is no
skeleton in their closet.-Troy Times.

PROPERTY IN HAWAI-
of Fortune and Are Get
ting Rich.

Senator Clark, Of Wyoming, who has
been in the Hawaiian islands this sum-
mer, speaking of the conditions there,
says:
The sugar planters are on the food
tide of fortune, for the profits On cane
are heavy, and everybody in the busi-
ness is getting rich. Coffee planting
has not been so profitable, but I think
that eventually 1t will be made to pay.
The material development Of Hawaii
has been greatly accelerated by annex
alton. Coming under our flag has been
Of enormous benefit. 1t has given con-
fdence to the people and the guarantee
Of stable government brightens the
whole future. Even the most ardent
royahsts are forced to admit that
American supremacy in the islands In
the best thing that could have hap
pened.
What form Of government do the
leading men of the country desire?
They wish congress to bestow upon Ha-
wall regular territorial system OF
government, such as that Of Arizona or
New Mexico. In my opinion that is
the most desirable policy to pursue.
At present the governments very awk-
ward and cumbersome. There is no
municipal or county government and
people residing at distance from Hon
olulu are put to great inconvenience,
for public records are kept at no other
place Honolulu itself is making rapid
strides in the march of progress. Its
harbor is crowded with shipping and
its business men report unprecedented
activity in trade.
