DEFENsEs OF THE METROPOLIS.

Lieutenant Z. F. Qualtrough, Inspector
of Ordnance, L. S. n, writes to Com
mander Belknap, at Mare Island, long
letter concerning the defenses of San Fran
cisco, in which he combats the idea that
the metropolis is so much exposed as
has been generally believed, to naval as
sault. He holds that there is no sufficient
reason, for instance, for the very general
statement and common belief that San
Francisco is today completely at the
mercy of any ship-of-war of the size of the
Triumph or Duquesne. But if this charge
relates only to the inability of shore de-
lenses to protect her, he admits that the
fear is justified, He contends that the
single-turreted monitor Comanche, in case
of war, would be able to make the COM
mander of the English ironclad Triumph.
hesitate long before attempting to enter
the bay of San Francisco. He holds that
the double-turreted Monadnock, when fin
ished, would successfully defy the whole
British naval force in the Pacific. And
further on he claims that the offensive
power of the foreign war vessels which
might he brought against San Francisco in
the event of war, is very materially over
estimated that in event of war, England,
for instance, could send very few of her
heavy ships to the Pacific coast, because
they would be required at home and along
the great commercial lines in the Atlantic.
and in Chinese waters. He declares that
there are numbers of naval officers who. if
given 10000 men, half of them to be blue
jackets, moderate amount of money and
three months notice, will successfully de-
fend the city and bay of San Francisco
against the combined foreign fleets now in
the Pacific.
He contends that as the defenses of San
Francisco must be from five to eight miles
outside of the city, the proper system TO
adopt is that of floating batteries suffi-
GENTLY strong to repulse any feet. Two
, or three OF these, he thinks, would afford
| ample defense. While he would not be
regarded as disparaging the great value OF
shore batteries as elements of defense,
which fulfill their requirements quite apart
from the question which has been raised,
yet" he adds, I" / venture to assert that
their best efforts viii prove imperative
/ in the absence of assistance from the naval
service, to prevent hostile vessels from
bombarding San Francisco from a compare
lively safe distance. The time has evi-
IDENTIFY arrived when we must consider the
shore batteries and submarine mines
taken together, as our second line of de
fense, while the FIRST will undoubtedly be
found to consist OF our heayily-armoTed

the interval of the civil war, the long de-
pressed financial condition of the Federal
Treasury, and the violent political agita-
tions between 1860 and 1870, occur to us as
reasons that might be advanced for the
neglect Of the State to ask recognition
of its claim. As to the second objection,
the omission of expression in the bill
admitting the State into the Union, is a
matter that cannot now be accounted for,
nor is it necessary, since such objection
cannot be held to be properly raised to an
equitable claim, based upon the policy OF
the Government toward all the other
States. That is, California asks only to be
treated as have all other public land
States. She insists upon being put upon a
level in the Governments family with
her sister States-Oregon and Nevada, for
instance-and no good reason has been or
can be advanced why she should not be.

coast-defense vessels, rams and swift tor
pedo-boats"
In conclusion, while he thinks less ex-
penditure will be required than is supposed,
if the system of floating batteries is
adopted, still he looks upon the need to
augment the defenses of San Francisco as
very great and that the necessity for some
adequate protection of the city from pos
sible bombardment is very urgent.
The Lieutenant's letter is valuable
contribution 10 deeply interesting subject.
While it is intended TO lessen the fears ex-
pressed concerning the "reminiscences of
San Francisco, it still admits them to be
justified to very great extent. The adj
vocates of non-action in the matter of ex-
pending some millions of the surplus

there has been no material underestima-

The advice Of the San Jose Mercury to
plant olives as resource in case of meat
famine is good. Meats will probably
never be cheaper. On the contrary, they
promise to advance in price as grazing
areas narrow. The olive as a substitute
for milk, butter and meat is well known.
That people in this country will ever be
compelled to resort to it as substitute for
meat is not expected, but that it may be-
come an article of food here as in the far
east is rather to be desired than otherwise.
Besides, it is profitable fruit, mere nutri-
tlous than any other, FIVE except the date
and can be raised with no more trouble
than attaches to other fruits. There are
olive trees in Santa Clara county, says the
Oakland Herald, hundred years of age
and yielding delicious fruit.

IL 1881, when Mr. Cleveland was ac-
cepting the nomination for the Presidency.
he wrote to the committee in these words
" We recognize in the eligibility of the
President for rejection most serions
danger TO that calm, deliberate and intel
ligent political action which must charac-
terize a government by the people" With
his present unconcealed ambition to secure
a second term, how does he make that dec
laration square? If eligibility to re-elec-
ton involved serious danger to calm, de-
liberate and intelligent political action
according to Mr. Cleveland's idea, then,
how is it in 1888? 1t does not fol-
low that second term by President
involves danger to intelligent action. 1t
might in Mr.. Cleveland's case; it evidently
does now. For it is clear that since he has

had that calm, deliberate and intelligent
balance so requisite to the discharge of his
trust. If not before, everything that the
Administration can now do is assuredlv
made to contribute to the return of Mr..
Cleveland to the White House There
can be no rule concerning the wisdom of
second terms. Every case of ambition to
that end must stand upon its own feet, and in
the case of the present incumbent it is GER
tain that Mr., Cleveland spoke wisely in
1884.

THE San Francisco strikers have asked
the employers to meet them, with a view
to amicably settling the difficulty by arbi-
tration. That means an end of the strike.
1t means more-that the strikers, as we
told them would be the case, will suffer as
much or more, than the employers. 1t is
pitiable that there should have been such a
dead loss of money as has resulted from this
strike; and more pitiable that the loss
should fall upon Woodworking men who
can 50 i'll afford it. If the men who origi-
mated the difficulty had thought of arbi-
tration as a first instead of 4 last resort,
how much better would all the parties to
the strike be situated to-day.

THE House has adopted Mr. Morrow's
resolution appropriating $4,000 for the
expenses of official representation of the
United States at the Melbourne Worlds
Fair in May, 1888. This is right action
and we cannot understand why it was SC
energetically opposed. The time is very
brief in which to act If the Senate ap-
proves the House resolution at once, there
will remain less than four months in which
to prepare. But with the energy and
speed characteristic of American enter
prise we can give the official representa-
tives Of the United States at Melbourne an
exhibit to be proud of. California is es.
pecially interested in the exposition Her
commercial relations with Australasia
should be diligently fostered and no OPP

IT is said that the California delegation
in Congress does not propose to permit the
Democratic administration to hoodwink
them again under the pretense that a
treaty is being negotiated with China, that
will render it advisable to postpone legis-
lation upon the Chinese restriction ques-
ton. Since Mr. Belmont has explained
that his attitude in the Forty-ninth Con-
gress was due wholly to the belief that the
administration would conclude treaty,
and that he was woefully disappointed
over its failure to do so, there is nothing for
the Democrats left, but to made showing
ore way or the other in legislation. The
Pacific Coast delegation will probably
leave no proper exertion untried to bring
the administration up to some definite
declaration in this matter. 1t will not do
to let the Democracy go into the coming
campaign with any sort of excuse for failure
to give the Pacific Coast the relief it de-
mands in this respect There can be no
more carrying of water on both shoulders
on this question.

The San Francisco Aha denounces the
management in the smallpox epidemic in
that city as disgrace. 1t confines its crit
icismS, however, to the pest-house, which
is inadequate, and in no sense a true hos

trap, not weather-proof, ill-ventilated,
worse drained, and miserably appointed.
To this place members of families are
dragged from the comforts of home, care

vent the outlay. When the epidemic has
