WHAT MAY BE DONE.

4 conference of business men and those
feeling an interest in the endowment made
by Mrs. t. B. Croker, is to be held this
afternoon. 1t Is to be hoped that vigorous
action will be taken 1t has been recently
proved what q community of tits size can
do when once it unites for common pur-
pose The one thing to be borne in mind is
that California Is in formative condition.
Whatever community fixes interests now
and gathers about it a supporting popula-
ton, Is fixed in prosperity for all time.
Fixed interests have retained many Il city
in policy and locality which wisdom
would not have originally justified, and by
neglecting to fix interests has lost positions
wisdom dictated The towns of California
that add to their importance and attrac-
tiyeness nor, are those which will become
population and trade centers and the seats
of intelligence and culture for all time.
These latter eonduce to good citizenship,
business prosperity and general Happiness
The proposed benefaetion will not only
make such an art center and open to the
public of the whole coast gallery where
our sons and daughters may CRAFTY their
tastes at the easel. and receive instruction
from master, hut it will secure to Sacra-
mento a repository of natural history and
curiosities; possibly an observatory, pos
sibly laboratory and certainly and i'm
mediately an exposition Of the products of
every county in the State, and place
where they may be tested, tried and ex-
hibited 1t will be permanent
exemplifcation of the capacity of
every county and the quality of the soil
and products ofeach 1t will be book to
the incoming immigrant, speaking to
him of the value and desirahility OF the
soils and products OF every region; and
here will be gathered for his information
all manner of facts needful for him to
know, if having settlement in view. Such an
exhibit can be put in place inside of three
months and greatly enlarged and improved
as time passes. In the meantime CLASH
fed museum and analytical work can be
entered upon for the edifcation of ali
visitors and the instruction of our people
and their children. Such other culturing
and supplemental work as BELTS such an
institution can be entered uponwith benefit
also, and thus the Museum Association
grow 10 become center of information
and commercial prosperity, center of in
telligence and culture, an aid to the chill
dren of the poor, an opportunity TO- the
rich and 4 blessing to the entire State.
From all this Sacramento will reap the
profit that flows from enlargement of fixed
interests, the general culture of the people
and the attractiyeness of such an institn-
tion as is contemplated and possible The
100000 should be raised Iy individual
effort. There should be no appeal to the
municipality. To attempt thai will be to
cripple, if not to kill the scheme. Three
times the sum asked is squandered in this
city annually in luxuries and induigences
let us shave these and put the sum into the
investment proposed. Let this people
show their appreciation of the splendid
gift made, and not lose il by suggesting
new conditions.

IT is evident that the English authori-
ties deem the situation in the Soudan
with Il concern that is full of alarm. 1t
is doubtful if Italy will be able to furnish
England that material aid expected, or
whether that Government viii support a
long and aggressive campaign. The defeat
of Sunday has been sad blow to English
hopes, and must have the effect of embar-
raising the Gladstone administration The
sentiment is gaining ground hourly that
England has nothing to gain in attempt
ing to advance upon Khartoum, and that
her true policy should be retirement to
the proposed south border of lower Egypt
and the fixing and maintenance of that
geographical line and the abandonment of
the Soudan to the Soudanese.

The New Orleans Picdyuae thus refers
to the California exhibit at the Worlds
Fair Exposition i'll that city:
THE land of gold.
In the days Of old,
The days of Forty-nine,
is the echo of an old song that will recall
strange and thrilling memories to many an
old Californian but 90 now into the space
devoted to California and its products in
Government Building and one will be as
tonished to see how little is there to remind
a "forty-niner" that this is the California
that was once the Eel Dorado of the New
World, veritablc land Of gold. To-day
California is the land of golden grain, of
vineyards, of orchards, of cattle upon a
thousand hills and woolly flocks in every
valley Gold is still mined in the mount
aims but it is from, the fertile soil OF farm
and Garden that the richest treasures are
now being dug. In the northwest corner
of Government and State Buildings is Il
space covering Il 600 square feet which is
allotted to California. Over head hangs an
enormous flag made of the feathery foliage
of the pampas grass arranged in the stars
and stripes Of the national flag and p5r-
traying its proper colors. Beneath this
egis are displayed the vegetable riches of
the State and the products of its peoples
industry There are enormous pumpkins,
gigantic vegetables of all sorts, and fruits
that are monsters of their respective sorts,
as to size. These products of land of
vegetable giants are grouped around a cen
trail figure which Is nothing less than a
section, eighteen feet in diameter. sawn
from one OF the titanic trees of the far
famed Yosemite Valley. This is a most
proper centerpieee for this display of vege-
table giants, for this tree and its mighty
kindred are the most majestic and colossal
objects Of the entire vegetable world. On
all sides of the big tree are exhibits of
wines; fruits, fresh, preserved in sugar and
other preparations, as well as dried, for the
California raisin is feature of the exhibit,
and dried pruneS is another What with
olives, honey, of which there are tons, the
magnificent California wheat, wool and
silk, could any one ask more of the wealth
Of the golden State? Here are riches
enough, and when the visitor looks forth
into the next space to the left, which is
Colorados, and to the next, which is New
Mexico's, and TO the one in the rear, which
is Arizona's, and TO the one to the right,
which is Nevada's, ard sees mountains of
ores and minerals, he does not feel that Cal
ifornia is wanting in any element of mate
rial wealth, although she shows only u
fancy glass case of cabinet specimens. The
timber exhibit of California is rich and in
teresting. There is plank from big
redwood tree, seven feet wide and fourteen
feet long, and all the shelves, cases, boxes
and wood work used in the section are
made from this balsam-perfumed lumber.
There is the manzanita, dark and hand
somely-grained hard wood, native live
oak and Others that are valuable, but the
redwood is the typical tree of the gold
coast mountains, and is displayed as such.

ished from the library at Concord by the
sages of that classic resort. The humor Of
the rejection is that the committee give as
reason that there is little humor in the
book We might have expected better
excuse than this. 1t is by all odds the
most humorous of all Mr.. Clemens writ
ings; not such elevated humor, Of course,
as the literary student cares to spend much
time upon, but for all that, a humor full
of caustic truth and that reveals broad
originality. Indeed, it is the most original
| of all Mark Twain's efforts. That it Is
couched in rough dialect and fairly bristles
with lingo, is no objection whatever, if il.
is a truthful picture of life in the South
west in the later slavery days, and that it
is will scarcely be questioned. 1t is over
colored, of course, but what picture of
that class is not 1? What literary portrait
ure of that order must not be? No one
contends that the book is "elevating"
in tone, as was objected by one committee
man, but we do not discover that it is de-
basing i'll its influence. 1t is a popular
work in vein of broad low comedy by a
popular writer, and its exclusion from the
Concord library is the best method posi-
bly, to enhance its sales If the Concord
people are not in league with Mark Twain
to advertise the book, they should have
kept their proceedings profoundly secret.
THE Massachusetts, Legislature last
| week resolved to ferret out certain corrup-
| ton charged to exist in the administration
| of the business of the State. But day or
two succeeding the houses of the General
Court" rescinded the resolution. The
people are not wanting who now charge
\ that the Legislature has been unduly in
| fiuenced. The Boston GlOJe, which, how
ever, is politically opposed to the party
dominant in the Legislature, does not
hesitate to say; 1t is doubtful whether
so desperate a move has ever before been
| made, since the adoption of the Constitu-
| ton, to shield brazen wrong-doing and
/ cover up outrageous abuse of trusts by
i those sworn to protect, not to prey upon,
| the interests Of the people of the old Bay
State" There is certainly some reason TO
believe that an investigation was needed,
and once resolved upon it should not have
been abandoned. Even in old Massachu-
sets, evidently, the bosses do not lack for
cunning, and are not shorn Of power
IT is to be hoped that Judge Temple
will accept a place upon the Supreme
Court Commission. No man of cooler
judgment, or higher legal culture can be
selected in the State. His attainments are
recognized by all the people as of the
highest order He is man whose per-
sonal and Judicial integrity is beyond
question. If he declines the position ten
dered him. the State will be loser. His
special fitness for the bench, the calm of
his judicial attitude, the clearness of his
mind ard the profound study to which he
is accust omed mark him as the man above
all others, at the bar or upon the bench,
for the new position, and the fact that
these qualifications are recognized by all
the people, should constrain him, even at
some sacrifice, to accept and enter upon
the new service.
