and tropical flowers. At the lunch
which followed an inspection Of the
park, in offering toast to the press,
Mr.. Sutro concluded by saying: 1T
has been my intention since man
hood to endeayor before nay career
had been closed to be Of little SER
vice to the public and the human
race. [ shall leave a collection Of
old and valuable books for public
use and particularly for young men
who may desire to write chapter
Of history of any nationality. In
conclusion, l will say that since the
commencement of this park it has
been my one grand idea to try and
see how valuable l could make it
for the residents of this vicinity and
the general public. When all is
completed, as have before stated
it is my intention to donate these
grounds and improvements to the
public of San Francisco"

HOPE YET.

A significant editorial appears in
the New York Star: The Treasury
Department is Withdrawing the one.
dollar and two-dollar greenback
bills in order to make place for the
silver dollar. This is a most desir-
able reform. Small bills are incon-
veniant, easily DESTROYED, soon be-
come very disgreeable and are often
supposed to carry germs of disease.
We exclude rags from countries
where contagious or infectious dis
eases are raging. Why not do
away with native rags? 1t is very
difficult to get silver money here.
Only the other day a depositer
asked at one of the principal banks
Of the city that ten dollars in silver
should be given in part payment
Of check, and he was told that
there was not that amount Of silver
in the bank. 1t is a comfortable
thing to have a handful of silver
money. The amount Of money now
carried by people in the
pockets is not large. Specie would
be far more convenient than paper.

DEMOCRATIC REDUCTION OF
WAGES.

While the Republican party wa
in power the wages of labor was |
thing always respected by the ad
ministration. President Grant is
sued proclamation on the subject
and when the hours of labor wer,
reduced from ten to eight, he ex
pressly prohibited any further re
ductiOn.
The Democratic party, has, fol
years, held out the idea to the la
boring man, that it only wanted a
chance to demonstrate how nobly
it could serve those who toll daily
for their bread.
We'll, it has finally been given
that chance, and it has repudiated
all its promises by systematic re-
duction of wages under the cloak
of economy. How does the laboring
class regard the present attitude of
the Administration? Its policy is
not policy of economy, it is a
penny-wise fraud, foolish, and
thoroughly picayunish policy, des-
tined only to degrade labor and
make the masses poorer than they
