A New Plan for the First and Also
Streets Bridges.

EDITeR HERALD:-Inasmuch as there
has been more or less controversy re-
garding the reconstruction or rebuilding
of the First street and the Also street
bridges, beg to be permitted 10 express
my opinion or offer suggestions as to tho
best and most OF onomical method to re-
place them at q nominal cost. Since the
late floods much has been said as to the
cause Of the serious damage done to
property, and no doubt had these two
bridges been built as we will explain,
little or no harm would have resulted.
That the bridges are necessity and o
great convenience no citizen will deny,
and action should be taken at once to
open travel over them both. The fol-
lowing plan, though very simple, l be-
lieve will meet our wants, viz: Build
these bridges down nearly on the river
bed, not more than two feet in height.
This will allow the water in any ordinary
season to pass quietly on, as there are
few times when the water attains
height of more than two feet. Then, in
case we should have high waters, there
would be no obstruction, and any debris
or other floating objects would pass over
our bridges without having done any
damage. Such Bridges can bo substan-
TALLY built and will withstand any
amount of high water and would not
cost to exceed $1,000 each. We have
material enough lett in the standing por-
tions of the late bridges to complete one
and there would be but the one to fur
nish anew. Will some one breathe
these facts to our Board Of P ublic
Works? Respectfully,
l. N. JONES.

-Mutchler, from the Commit

suspend the rules and pass the bill re-
pealing the section OF the Revised
Statutes restricting the terms OF certain
officers to four years. Mutchler said the
simple purpose of the bill was to repeal
the act OF 1920 and the acts sup
Elemental thereto, which limit the terms
of certain Presidential appointments.
The consequence of these laws was that
every four years, the Senate and Presi-
dent were apt to come in conflict in re-
gard to the officers whose terms expired,
and when there was a contest the offices
remained vacant until il was ended.
The measure in no way affected the

THE extent to which Pennsylvania
has emancipated herself from the rule of
the Camerons was strikingly illustrated,
the other day, when the Republican
State Convention instructed for Blaine.
One Of the most marked peculiarities of
old Simon Cameron has been his hatred
for the Pumed Knight-an aversion
which was very fully shared by his
Cameron 81 son Don. The latter, prob
ably with wise provision of what was
to come, and to escape the modification
of being unhorsed in pitched battle, is
now hiding himself in Europe and affect
ing to be Indifferent as to all matters
political. In both the Conventions in
which Blaine came so near being nomi-
mated for President he would have gone
through like a shot had it not been for
the persevering hostility of the Gamer
ons. The old Lochiel must now be near
ing his ninetieth year, and the scepter
has fallen from his nerveless grasp. As
for the younger Cameron he never had
any influence, all the efforts of the able
Lieutenants of his father, Mackey, Quay,
Rutan, and the rest, having failed to
galvanizs him into even a semblance of
political life or power.

MoNCURR ID. CONWAY, who is now in
India, writes to the San Francisco
Chronicle describing a visit recently
made by him to the Headquarters of the
Thoosophical Society, near Adyar
Here Col. Olcott and Madame Blavatsky
have set up their manufactory Of
"occultism," and it seems to be making
great headway in the land Of Buddha
and krishan. These thaumaturgic
people surround themselves with an
atmosphere of great mystery remarkably
resembling that which the spiritualists in
the United States and Europe are so
fond of affecting. Though earnestly
desirous of witnessing some of the won
derfal things with which rumor is rife in
connection with these gifted occultists,
the inquisitive visitors curiosity was not
gratiiied, as is usually the case when he
happens to be keen observer and an
analytical Investigator. The singula,
thing about it all is that these gifted
but eccentric people have founded theil
society upon an acceptance of the lead
ing tenets of Buddhism; and, according
to Mr.. Conway, who is himself minis
ter of the Gospel, they have made more
converts to "occultism" amongst tn
Hindus in the last two years than the
Christian missionaries OF all denomina'
tons have during the last two centuries.

There is no question of the fact that
tho people. in mass meeting assembled,
have a right, at times, TO indicate TO
their representatives what their course
Of action shall be on any leading ques-
ton OF the hour, and such representa-.
tives should give these suggestions ex.
actly the weight to which they are
entitled from the numbers, responsibility
and worth Of those who assume to in
siruct them. Saturday night, at Union
Hall, San Francisco, such meeting was
held, and doubtless due consideration will
be given TO its utterances. Such course
of action has nothing in common with

IT is astonishing how easy it is to
start rumor about railway construction
and how readily these inventions are
swallowed, notwithstanding the fact that
thousand preceding canards have been
exploded, Taking one rumor with an.
other, the Atlantic & Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka & SanIa' Fe roads
sho ould have built, by this time, per.
feet network of railways over Southern
California, and yet the Atehison, Topeka

orado river, while the Atlantic & Pacific
has stopped short on its banks and bids
fair to stay thsre, Notwithstanding the
fresh batch of rumors. The fertile i'm.
agination of these road builders on pa.

San Diego, in our opinion, could very
READILY command railway connection with
Los Angeles via the Santa Aua branch of
the Southern Pacific, and the wonder to
, Us is that she does not agitate for thing
which would be productive of great
benefit to her. The ideal connections
which are never accomplished serve to
excite the imagination Of our neigh
