a PLEA FOR BUTLER.

The Socialists have issued call for
National Convention to be held in Chicago
on June Sth. They invite to attend it
all who sympathize with the movement
g to have the Government exercise control
cover land, labor and money, so that equal
"rights and opportunities shall be afforded
ALL" If the Government did exercise
control over land, labor and money, as
these people desire it to, we think there
would be little opportunity or recognition of
rights for any but the parties that hap
pened to control the Government. They
wish, however, to have Presidential
candidate, and it is intimated that
they think Ben Butler is about the
kind of man for the head of their
ticket. We are inclined to agree
with them on this point. Butler is pre-
clsely the man for the occasion. He is
troubled with no principles which he is not
perfectly willing to charge tomorrow if
they do not happen to suit, and he pre-
sents that peculiar combination of dema-
gogue and plutocrat, monopolist and COM
munist, Protectionist and Free Trader,
which has always had such an attraction
for the order of minds certain to be repre-
sented in the Socialist Convention. And
as lie has probably by this time realized the
hopelessness of being elected Governor of
Massachusetts,. and as his acceptance of the
Socialists nomination would afford him
particularly fine opportunities for the
throwing of bricks, it is quite possible
that he may be induced to accept the honor.

THE TORIES AND GLADSTONE.

1t is difficult to understand the fury of
the Tories over Gladstone's apology to the
Emperor of Austria, but it is not difficult
to see that they are making themselves
ridiculous. Mr.. Gladstone had made a
statement concerning the Emperor of Aus
tria which turned out to be unfounded.
Discovering the injustice of what he had
said, he apologized for it, as any gentleman
would do under like circumstances. Is it
to be understood that the Tories disapprove
of retraetion when the falsity of an accusa-
ton has been demonstrated. Or do they
mean to take the position that the Prime
Minister of England humiliates the coun-
try by frank acknowledgment of a mis-
representation made in the heat of political
controversy: In either case they have put
themselves in very discreditable attitude,
and have shown much more temper than
sense. The truth probably is that they
are angry over their recent defeat, and
that nothing the Premier can do just now
will satisfy them. They remind us of the
story of gentleman who, in the days of
high play at the London Clubs, had been
losing heavily on one occasion, and who.
rushing out at last in passion,
vented his anger upon an innocent
individual who had stopped for moment
to re one of his shoes on the steps of the
Cub. The irate gambler kicked him into
the street, and on his asking in astonish-
ment what that was for, since he had only
been tying his shoe, the other replied,
Cd you'll You're always tying your
g shoot" At this moment the Tories are
in a temper to kick Mr.. Gladstone even

SINGULAR SIGHT FOR EARLY RIsERs.-
The following is from the Virginia New
Enterprise of May l4th
Our city sprinkling cart was started up
day before yesterday for the first time this
season, and performed to the satisfaction of
all. 1t was out again yesterday morning
bright and early, but the weather had
chopped. The dust was still in the streets,
but the mercury had passed the Sutro tun-
mel level and was down in the stump, about
forty feet below zero, and could not have
been hauled up on giraffe. When the
captain of the sprinkling cart had filled
his tank and mounted the hurricane deck
of his craft he laid his course down Union
street, turning loose the water. A more
beautiful sight has seldom been seen than
was then displayed to the admiring
gaze of early -risers-those good peo-
pie who see all manner of beautiful
and wonderful things. The mo-
ment the stream of water from the
sprinkler struck the ground they froze fast.
and there was seen the strange and quite
unusual spectacle of a thousand glittering
threads of ice, all of which were being
drawn out of the rear Of the sprinkling
machine just as wires of metal are drawn
or threads OF glass spun. The old
sprinkling cart might have been compared
to huge spider, except that it was spin
ming out thousand threads where the
spider would have paid out but one. When
the sun came up above the eastern hills
these threads displayed all the colors of
the rainbow, but the increasing warmth
presently operated to prevent their further
production.

RECEIVED A CHECK.

The well-laid plans by which the San
Francisco Board of Education and the
textbook agents together had provided for
the fleeing of the people of that city,
have been disarranged rather unexpectedly.
The President of the Board, Mr.. Stone,
has refused to sign the contracts, and has
given as one of his reasons the statement
which he feels sure his colleagues must
have overlooked the contracts pro-
posed to be made would cost San Francisco
$40, 600 year more than the lowest bids
before the Board called for. AS, more
over, the textbooks adopted are in several
instances inferior to those which could
have been had so much cheaper, the case
against the majority of the Board seems
conclusive, and they will not find it an
easy matter to override the veto of their
President without exposing themselves to
public Reproduction. Itisnecessary, however,
to insist upon inquiring how the Board came
to ignore the fact that the contracts they
made would cost the people forty thousand
dollars more than there was any necessity
for. Very ugly reports have been abroad
for some time as to the nature of the influ-
ences which prevailed over the Judgment of
the Board, and perhaps the present for
tunate dispute with the President may
promote salutary revelations. Seeing that
unfaithfulness in such trust may have
widespread and sinister results in the
degradation of the public schools, and in
lowering the educational standard, the
press of San Francisco ought to prevent this
matter from being hushed up, and should
use all its energies to probe it to the bot

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

The debris bill appears to have been
thrust aside in Congress because of the
predomiHating interest in Presidential poll
tics. 1t might not have done either party
any harm to have bestowed enough atten-
ton on this measure to secure the desired
appropriation. and we are somewhat sur
prised that the Democrats should have
neglected matter so certain to have cam
paign uses. As the time for holding the Ma
tional Conventions approaches, however,
everything else fades into insigni6cance ia
the eyes of the politicians, and they are
no longer capable of attending to routine
business. 1t is to be regretted that the ap-
preparation should have failed this year,
but it is the more to be rejoiced over that
the State law on this question was passed,
for had the advice of some short-sigated
people been followed. and dependence been
placed upon Congress, we should have been
left without any remedial legislation what
ever,

ITEMS OF MINING NEWS.

Some very rich free gold quartz has been
vada
A mountain containing so per cent of
iron ore has been discovered near Seattle,
w. I.
Nothing more is heard of the Dixon gold
mine, and it is concluded that the placers
were not very valuable
So much loose gold is being taken out of
the bodle mine that it has to be transported
to the mill in close sacks.
Comstock people have given up all hopes
OF finding bonanza, and are now perfectly
happy if the pumps are kept running.
Several of the owners of quartz mines in
the vicinity of Fort Jones' Siskiyou county,
will build small mills this spring, as they
find hauling to custom mills, and paving
the going rates for crushing, to be an oner-
Gus tax.
A ton of ore from the San Jacinto mines,
in San Diego county, has been shipped to
ing assay proves satisfactory, the sale will
be completed and large number of men
employed extracting ore.
The shipment of coal from Seattle, w.
T., for the month of April, exceeded any
previous month since the opening of the
mines. Eleven vessels cleared with an ag
gregate of l6, 275 tons, and with two yes
sells half loaded at the chutes, makes the
total amount delivered on board vessels
nearly 5000 tons.
If man should set himself at work to
correct every wrong report of the mines
which gets started in the community, he
would be able to do nothing else, says the
Gold Hill Necs. When reports lock men
in mines these days they may be set down
as false at once. The time for such opera
lions is passed. Some, however, advocate
a return to such practices, since when they
were in vogue there were good times on the
Comstock. The return would, however,
scarcely bring those times back again.
The late storm was so unreasonable, and
therefore unexpected, says the Nevada
City Transcript, that several mining COM
panies in the district were caught with but
a few cords of wood on hand. Had the
rain and snow continued the remainder of
the week, some of them would have been
compelled to shut down part or all of their
works. The past winter has taught some
Of the mine managers severe lessons, and
hereafter they will, it is safe to bet, when
able, not rest contented during the times
of good roads till they have enough fuel on
hand to last through the most protracted
siege. "In time of peace prepare for
war; applies pretty well to the subject
herein limited at.
A Californian writes from Leadville, Col
orado: Preparations for the proper devel-
opment of the mines are being made by
men from California and Nevada, and in
place of the tender-foot style of working,
consisting of within with Missouri mule
attached to it, and a wheelbarrow with
man behind to shove 1t, and another man in
front attached to a rope to pull, the engine
is being used. just think of men hauling
ore out of a coyote hole 200 and 300 feet on
an incline of 20 degrees with wheelbar
row. That's the kind of miners they have
out here-fellows who have been skinning
mules and whacking bulls all their lives
and they will assert themselves thorough
miners. 1t would make Washoe canary
laugh to see them at work.

GUARANTEES FOR WAR.

There are in Europe at present nearly
five millions of men under arms. When
the recent changes in the German army
are completed that empire will have two
millions of soldiers available These facts
render it certain that war in Europe can
not be long deferred For the mainten.
ance of such enormous armies saps the life
of the nation, breeds discomfort among the
best elements, illustrates the efforts of en-
terprising and inventive men, and produces
conditions from which foreign war is the
only deliverance. Germany will be COM
PEELED before long to quarrel with one or
the other of her neighbors. She cannot
stand the strain of her overgrown arma-
ment indefinitely. The nation will not al
ways consent to be taxed to death for
merely ornamental soldiery. Presently
national pride and the lust of aggrandize-
ment will demand the active employment
of the army, Or the,disorganizing labors of
the Socialists will force the Government to
seek distraction from internal troubles in
war, as Louis Napoleon did, and as Russia
seems about to do The possession of
these formidable armies, moreover, is al.
ways strong incentive to aggressive for
eign policies. Every question is instinct
lively viewed from a military standpoint.
Gradually desire for conquest and glory
grows up among the people. Past
successes in the field are made to
justify future encroachments. A people
that has already been deprived of its lib
erty is very apt to seek consolation in mil
itary fame, and it is also very apt to be
insensible to the equities of its neighbors
France and Russia and Austria and Italy
and Germany are all weighed down by
their great military establishments to-day,
and because they are all armed to the
teeth they are sure to fall out. The idea
of averting war by always being prepared
for it is one the fallacy of which has been
exposed thousand times, but it is never.
marck's character. 1t would seem, indeed,
that wars must increase in frequency and
destructiveness as civilization advances,
until the time comes when science shall
have so multiplied the agencies of destruc-
ton as to render fighting no longer posi-
BILE. When, as foreshadowed in Bulwer's
Coming Race, the deadly "vril shall
have been discovered, and so the means of
destruction be in the hands of all, great
wars will cease perforce. Until then, how
ever, there can be little doubt that popula-
ton will be thinned out by gunpowder even
more mercilessly than heretofore, and that
the precautions taken against attack will
themselves lead to renewed conflicts.

certainly cannot sympathize with the late
