generally, that the stranger at glance
may see what We produce, and note the
section in which Produced in short, a
practical museum, as well as one for schol-
arly research, and one to be amplitied by
collections of curios, historic relics, works
of art and skill, mechanical devices, etc.
In addition, and that which precedes all
else, and is now being carried on, the in
stitution will instruct and entertain the
people by securing courses of lectures on
practical topics, and by encouraging at its
meetings interchange Of thought among
the members on interesting subjects calcu-
lated to enlarge public knowledge, and es-
pecially concerning the State and its re-
sources. For these ends the necessity for a
building with suitable chambers and spa
cious hall. and erected with view to the
greatest safety of the museum collection, Is
immediate. A sum of money has already
been secured as Il nucleus, and to augment
this efforts in aid of Loan Exhibition are
now being made II is to be hoped that
they will meet with generous responses
The Loan Exhibition is feasible according
to the Judgment Of ladies who have taken
charge of that branch Of the work; the
museum scheme is not only feasible,
but needed one. The Capital City
should possess such an attraction.
In five years time it can be

factions of the wealthy and the respect of
the State. 1t is good investment in the

splendid scheme now apparently working
out such satisfactory results under the

founding of which this Journal took an

ginning than the California Museum Asso-

there is no citizen of San Francisco who
does not take especial pride to-day in that

THE CITY DEBT.

We invite attention TO plain statement
in another column respecting the city
debt. 1t is from the pen of one Of the
Funded Debt Commissioner This Com
omission was established in 1872 1t has
served the city ever since without fee or
reward. All it does or has done is tor the
benefit of the city. A law was passed au-
shorizing tax to create fund for the
use of the Commission in buying up city
bonds and coupons at low rate. The
scrip it takes up it holds in trust, draws
the interest upon it, and Uses the same
again for further reduction Of the debt.
1t was a good scheme, has worked we'll,
and should not have fallen into disuse, as
1t has, for the past three or four wears.
Judge Beatys communication clearly
states the case, and shows what the Com
mission has accomplished strange as it
may seem, some people got it into their
heads that the Commission was working
for itself and hence began seaseless war
upon it. BIT it never has, nor can it have,
any individual interest i'll the matter 1t
is a trustee for the city. It has accom-
plished great deal for the city. Somuch
Of the debt rs has been wiped out has been
done through It's exertions. 1t should be
permitted to continue its labocs The
adoption of the proposed new charter for
the city will destroy this Commission, and
that Is additional reason why the charter
bill should not prevail. As an evil
dence Of the popular misconception
concerning the Commission, single
instance will suffice 4 year or two ago,
when suits were brought upon coupons by
the holders thereof to prevent the statute
of limitations from running against them,
the Funded Debt Commission also brought
suit or interviewed in that pending, in or
der, If the coupon holder, prevailed, to
secure for the city the same benefits CON
corning the coupons held by the Commits
sion foT the city that is. to prevent the
representatives of value from outlawilg, -
Yet SO thoughtle~S were some people a. to
believe political denagoguee who, for their
own purposes, announced that the mem
bers Of the Commission had sued the city
ON evidences of Indebtedness held bv them
as private individuals, and the statement
actually found its way into print and was
by very many believed. There are now
several thousands Of dollars in the treasury
that the city will ultimately draw out and
pay over to itself through the avenue OF
CHS Commission--if any coupon holders
draw anything-that otherwise viii be
lost to it. 1t is full time that this
whole subject of the city debt should be
looked squarely in the face. A; the very
least we should insist upon good business
sense having a hearing in the matter.

. TAKE IT UP,

There is in the Legislature a small bill

thinkers and most skilled sanitarians of

The bill has been asked for respectfully by
a representative body of men, 1t has no
serious opposition-indced we do not know
that ii has any At the annual session of
the Pacific Turn Bezirk, which concluded
its sitting in this city Monday, a resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted asking the
Legislature to pass the bill. That Conven-
ton was composed of representative Ger
man citizens of San Francisco, Oakland,
San Jose, Los Angeles, Petaluma, Napa,
Marysville, Stockton and Sacramento. A
request Of this character should command
respect, and at least some consideration of
the bill. Cannot Assemblymen and SEN
ators get out Of the rut the few minutes
necessary to consider this bill, which has
