WHO Will MOVE FIRST?

The San Francisco Examiner, which hap
pens to stumble now and then upon a
truth, says: "The prosperity of every part
of the land is involved, in some measure.
with that of every other part, and the
rapidly increasing wealth of the lately
impoverished South will make the whole
country richer" This is certainly sound
statement. But the principle enmciated
applies with equal force to a State and its
subdivisions, Thus we may pharaphrase
the sentence; "The prosperity of every
part of the State is involved, in some
measure, with that of every other part"
And this should teach the people of all
the State, in whatever section located. that
the Sacramento river has direct interest
for them and they in it. It's preservation
or destruction as navigable stream must
influence, III some measure, every locality
IN the State. The river is rapidly declin-
ing as boating stream; all the people
should feel an interest in its reclamation,
and therefore all the people should, as the
Suffer Farmer suggests, sign a petition to
the Federal Government to examine into
the condition of the river, apply remedial
measures and take steps to prevent the in
fiction of further injury. The saving of
the river is not mere local question, but,
as the San Francisco Call well puts it,
question as broad and as long as the State.
But who will move in this matter of pc
tition? What organized representative
body will set the ball in motion? Shall
we all sit still, waiting for each other,
until the river is utterly ruined?

THE MONUMENTAL AssoCIAr1oN,

to raise the money by popular subscrip-

make every subscriber of one dollar

therefor handsome certificate. possibly
bearing correct portrait of General Grant
and picture Of the monument and sur-

beautiful Capitol building itself. And this
certificate plan, discussed at the meeting
and suggested by the Chair, is the rigbt
scheme. 1t does not reflect upon the p,-

does give tangible form to the personal

THE LOCATION OF THE STATE STATUE

The San Francisco Bulletin says:
1t is evident that the people of Sacramento
are making good use of their time and of the
feeling which the death Of General Grant has
aroused to secure for their city a statue of the
General. But il is the opinion of most people
of the State, probably, that the statue of Gen
eral Grant which California shall erect should
stand in Golden Gate Park, where stands the
statue of Garfield.
The Bulletin errs. The people of Sacra-
mento are not more interested than those
of all the State. Certainly San Francisco
is rich enough to secure for its park a
statue of General Grant The appropri-
ateness of a State statue ON State ground
and beneath the shadow of the State Cap
itol cannot be questioned There, it will
he the property of all the people of the
State. 1t is not local movement, though
begun at Sacramento. What would be
thought of the people of n Capital city
without the spirit to inaugurate such a
movement in behalf of the State To this
date no piece of statuary or other work of
art adorns the State grounds, given to the
State by the people of Sacramento. The
Bulletin has no warrant for asserting that
most of the people desire the statue of
General Grant to be placed in a municipal
park at San Francisco But the people
will have no objection to q statue being
placed there by San Francisco and doubt
less, if the wealth of the 100000 inhab-
itants of that city is unequal to the task of
securing it, citizens outside of San Fran
cisco will contribute San Francisco can
certainly rely on the people of Sacramento
favoring statue in Golden Gate Park.
and in subscribing for it, if need be. But
that statue should not be placed in Cap
Itol Park cannot be claimed by any with
particle of State pride The movement
for memorial statuary on the State
grounds originated with the Governor of
the State, and testifes to 4 correct concep-
ton of the fitness of things on his part.
The meeting to set on foot the organize
ton was called at the request of the State
Executive and held in the State Capitol.
1t was entirely delocalized, and is State
movement. The call is for a popular sub
scription, that it may be the peoples work,
by the people, upon the peoples ground,
and to stand before the chief structure of
the people at their seat of government. If
Sacramento concludes to have a monument
in one of her own parks, she will not ask
for outside aid, nor viii she raise the
slightest objection to, or place the smallest
obstacle in the way of securing a statue
that shall be State property and grace the
State park, but will give all possible aid
to the State to that end In like spirit
her people expect the citizens of San Fran
cisco to act. 1t is matter into which no
marrow, selfish or local views should enter.

NOT a QUESTION OF RELIGION

Monsignor Capel believes the true rem
edy for the Chinese evil is to convert the
Chinaman to Christianity. He seems to
overlook the missionary labors of the past
IN that direction, and the small measure
OF success they have had. 1t is not pos
sible for the distinguished guest to show
that conversion to Christianity would re-
move the Chinese competition that is re-
ducing the labor of the American citizen
to the non-living basis. If we can imagine
every Chinaman in California to be a
Christian, we cannot picture him as living
any less cheaply, or as contributing any
more to the material strength of the eoun-
try. As a Christion he is no more a
home-builder, none the less a wage-winner
at rate upon which it is simply impossi-
bic for his white competitor to exist and
maintain that position which American
civilization demands of him. The whole
meat IN the nutshell is the ability of the
Chinaman to live on ten cents a dav and
to labor for twenty dollars a month and
furnish his own subsistence. Against that
ability the American laborer cannot COM
pete except he abandons the prospect of
home, the ordinary comforts of life, the
pleasures of domesticity and the plane of
American independence. The religious
beliefs of either of these competitors cuts
no figure in the issue whatever.

A New STYLE OF CHESS BoARp.-The
South australian Chronicle thus describes a
board, designed by w. Braddock, and es-
pecially intended for beginners The
squares are marked out in the ordinary
way, but instead of the dark-colored ones
being definitely red or black, each con-
tains a complete diagram of the chess
board, with the position of the men after
the fifth move of some regular open
ing. Thus there are thirty-two of the
regular openings represented. The de-
signer has been careful in emitting obsolete
and VIGOROUSLY unsound openings, and he
has done well in showing two or three
variations in the more popular gambits,
such as the Evans or the Kings :"
The board will be exceedingly useful as an
aid to study.

MINISTER Denny, while protesting that
he Is not committed against the sentiment
Of California relative to unrestricted Chi
neSe immigration, thinks that he will be
able to do great deal in the way of intro
duclng our railroads, electric lights and
telephones into China. Perhaps. The
unexpected always happens. But the
Chinese do not want these things. They
did submit to the laying down of one
railroad, but soon tore it up, and the wreck
lies upon the sea shore half buried in the
sands. They have talked of adopting the
inventions of the age, but every attempt
to introduce them has been met by the
condemnation Of the patriarchs who are
the real rulers. They stand fifty years be-
hind the world of to-day, and can no
more be made to look forward than the
Sphynx can he made to turn its head.
