THE 1883 BOND BUSINESS.

The alta says THE CALL attacks Mr..
Pond for his action as Supervisor in 1883
THE CALL has not attacked Mr.. Pond for
hi action in 1855, unless statement of adj
mitted facts can be construed as an attack.
The 3 uckley morning organ allowed an in-
discreet young man to say that Mr.. Pond
extricated the city from the financial trouble
in which it found itself at that time. THE
CALL Informed the young man and re-
minded the better informed of the readers Of
the Buckley organ that Mr.. Ponds method
OF extrication was bond issue and Mayor
Bartlett's a collection Of debts due the city.
THE CALL is responsible for the statement,
but Mr.. Pond is responsible for the facts.
The circumstance that The CALL spoke
we'll of Mr.. Pond at that time may be ac-
cepted as indicative of purpose on our part
to uphold a new administration which PROM
ised well The affairs of the city had been
shamefully mismanaged, and the election of
Mayor Bartlett was regarded as affording
hone of relief. We found Mr.. Pond doing
work in conjunction with the Mayor and we
gave him such credit as we thought he de-
served. All this has nothing to do with the
question now presented, as to whether the
Buckley nominee for Governor should be
elected. Mr.. Pond is using the reputation
he made in his first years of service to con-
time Mr.. Buckley in power. The CALL
believes that the overthrow of Buckley is
the necessary preliminary step to the estab-
lishment of good government and regards as
a minor incident the necessity of over
throwing Mr., Pond at the same time.

A LITTLE ExAGGERATIoN.

In his address 10 the National Prison Con-
gresS, held at Cincinnati on Thursday, ex-
President Hayes dwelt at considerable length
on the crimes which are inspired by Gu
pidity and carried out by fraud. Probably
Internationally the ex-PIesdent drew so
dark a picture Of the morals of the well-to-
90 class of society that the impression left on
the mind of those who listened to him must
have been that every one, or nearly every
one, who is leader in commerce, or in-
dnstry, OF finance, or enterprise is a rascal,
and that virtues only refuge nowadays is in
the bosom of the poor. There must surely
b. some exaggeration here.
Success in business does not necessarily
imply knayery in him who achieves it. On
the contrary, one of the essential conditions
Of success Is the command of friends and
alieS-whom it is difficult for a knave to
acquire and still more difficult to retain.
ROgues do sometimes succeed, make fortunes
and rise to high position; but they rise 10
spite of their moral obliauity, simply be-
cause their intellectual power is toe great
0 be defeated by their lack of principle.
A man who Is known to be knave, regard
.css of truth or probity, is handicapped in
is dealings with his fellow-men; nobody
trusts him no one wants to deal with him :;
very one gives him wide berth for fear of
Icing chtated.
The growth of commerce and industry
and the development of high finance have
created opportunities for crime which did
not exist when society was in its primitive
siage. Among the thousands who partici-
pate IN this development there are sure to be
some who VIII avail themselves of these
opportunities. But they constitute a very
small proportion of the whole The mis-.
fortune is that the crimes of those who
do go wrong are published far and
wide, while the honesty of those who tread
in the path of uprightness is never noticed.
If a cashier goes off to Canada with the
funds of his bank the world throws up its
hands i'll horror and philosophers dilate on
the roguery of financiers, forgetting that for
one defaulting cashier there are thousands
who do not default, but who lead modest
lives on small salaries and account for every
penny which passes through their hands.
1t will not do to generalize too rashly.

INDIGNANT nIGH-soHooL GIRLS.

The senior class Of the Girls High School
is Justly indignant at an insinuaton in the
Chronicle of Friday to the effect that
within the past few months the presence
of the Chinese den in the vicinity has made
itself apparent among the pupils in the
senior and middle grades of the Girls High
School," The fact of the existence OF the
Chinese den is not denied, but the young
ladies attending the school have not been
otherwise affected than by the presence OF
nuisance. The article which has wounded
the feelings of the young ladies does not
state that one of them has ever visited the
den. The den makes pretense OF being a
fancy-goods store but under cover of this
sign a gamblng-place is being conducted.
We presume the object of our contemporary
was to call the attention of the police TO the
character of the den, but this object might
have been accomplished without an intima-
ton unsupported even by its own statement
that the contamination of the place had eX-
tended 10 the higher classes Of the Girls
High School. But the police should do their
duty in the matter without days delay

THE REAL DEMOCRACY.

\ good deal of speculation is taking place
in San Francisco relative to the action of the
so-called Reform Democrats" Some OF
the nominations which have been made are
very good, and we have no doubt the inten-
ton is to place before the voters of the city
the names of men who can be supported
with perfect confidence in their integrity.
There is, however, danger that the COM
piet,d ticket on a critical examination viii be
found to contain the names Of some Buckley
: lates, for instance, Supervisors. 1t is
useless 10 urge that a good Mayor can do
evcrvthing. He may not cOuntenance frauds,
hut si.h Buck ley's lambs rs Supervisors the
CITY ay be plundered. Buckley is row
virtually defeated, for few voters are will
ing to supp ort candidates who are under
stood TO be placed in nomination through the
influence Of the boss. hence he can only sue
coed by stealth. If Buckley can induce the
Reform Democrats" by hook or by crook
to nominate a certain number of his insru-
meD's for Supervisors, they may be elected.
So, if be finds any Of his lambs as candidates
on the Sane ticket for other offices. he will
strive to have them elected. To those per-
sons who have carefully watched the doings
OF political conventions il is not necessary TO
say that with the best intentions bad men
r1ly be nominated. If the Reform Demo-
ats" nominate all through good ticket.

NO MORE STILL BUNTs."

The result of the Maine election has con-
WINGED the leaders of the Democratic party
that the method of campaign known as
" still hunt =" is not adapted to the doctrines
of the party. In this they are evidently
right. The still hunt method implies
personal exchange of views between men,
bers of the two parties. The party making
the " still hunt will give voter a certain
district TO canvass. ! his voter interviews
hundred, more or less, of the voters of the
other party and reports their political pro-
clivities. A portion he reports as open to
argument; 20 these documents are Sent;
especial pains are taken to get them to at
tend the meetings of The opposing party.
They are perhaps appealed to by men of
influence in the interest of the party making
the " still hunt" If four or five voters can
be governed in this way out of each hundred,
the election will indicate tidal wave in
favor Of that party. Bat party to make
50 still hunt successfully must have ideas,
principles and policies. 1t must advocate
something which appeals to the masses of
voters. Its agents must be able to show
how an application of its principles to pub
lie policies will benefit the people. Ii
party cannot convince unpreiudiced voters
that it purposes policy which, if carried
out, will work better results than the
measure of the other party, its " still hunt "
Will be failure. That is why the Demo-
Gratis failed in Maine. They would have
done better if they had spent their money in
torchlight parades.

there than elsewhere. The volcanic chain
relieves the level plain from the pressure
from below, the craters serving as safety
valves. The theories which scientific men
formed on the phenomena of the Charleston
earthquake imply that whenever, from some
unknown cause, the internal forces which
play under the surface of the earth acquire
unusual energy they shake the crust at the
point of least resistance, and go on disturb
ing it until they find vent through some
volcanic crater Applying this theory to the
Granada earthquake, we have to infer that
it will continue until it is relieved by an
eruption from the volcano Mombacho; and
this, in fact, is what the Nicaraguans expect
and dread.
1t is to be hoped that no phenomena of
this order will ever occur to destroy or seri-
ously injure the Nicaragua Canal. Still, in
that part of the world, earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions are to be expected, and
it will be well for the builders of the canal
to guard against accidents from those causes.
The destruction of few locks by earth
quake or the filling UP of the canal with
scoria from volcano might prove seri-
Gus injury to commerce. and would certainly
hurt the business of the canal. Earthquakes
can neither be foreseen nor prevented; but
machinery may be provided in advance to
repair any damage which they would be
likely to infllct

THE MORMONS.

We COPY below some remarks by Wlltord
Woodruff, President of The Mormon Church,
repudiating folygamy, which, it is hoped,
will tend to q settlement of a troublesome
ouestion. But it will not do to place too
much confidence in the assurance that the
disturbing element is disposed Of for This is
not the first time publication has been made
to the effect that the Mormons had given up
pOlygamy:
We are not teaching polygamy or plural mar
riages, nor are We permitting any person 10 enter
into its practice. Inasmueh as laws have
been enacted BY Congress prohibiting plural
marriages, which laws have been pronounced
constitutional By the court Of last resort, / do
hereby declare MY intention TO submit TO these
laws. and 10 use my Influence with the members
OF the church over which preside 10 have them
do nkewise My advice 10 the Latter
day Saints is: Refrain from contracting any
marriage forbidden by the law of tue land.
1t is a pity the MOrmons did not reach
these conclusions long ago. They would
have saved the nation some trouble and
themselves much obloquy.
Several years ago Joseph Smith founded
sect of reformed MoEmons who repudiated
polygamy. They settled chiefly IN Illinois,
but a branch of them located in Southern
California. They have never been molested
on the ground of their religion and their
conduct has conformed to the marriage laws
of the States in which they live.
The attempt to establish polygamy in the
United States VIII be cassed as one OF the
most curious e isodes in our history. That
institution has always prevailed among bar
barous nations; but it never survived con-
tact with civilization. In Greece and Rome,
no one had more than one lawful wife, and
though the Moslem doctrine authorizes a
man to take four, the privilege has not been
claimed except by persons of wealth and
authority. Monogamy is dictated by the
simple fact that in every country in the
world the numbers of the sexes are about
equal. 1t has always been assumed that the
Mormons were led to adopt polygamy from
sensual motives; but it is likely one cause
for the alteration was desire TO procure
cheap labor. A Mormou's wives were his
slaves, toiled for him in the field without
wages, and enabled him to convert a wider
ness into a rden.
So unequal an arrangement as this was
certain to expire when the female children
of plural marriages grew to wGmanhood ;
instinct was sure to prompt each girl to
insist on husband who should be hers and
hers only. But the Mormon question COM
p'icated itself in this country with political
difficulties. The Mormons of Utah were
mostly aliens i'll thought and temper; if they
had been numerous enough during the war
they would have giveL. trouble. After the
war Congress passed series oil laws to
regulate marriages hence some complica-
tions have resulted.

rnE GRANADA EARTHQUAKES.

The earthquake in Nicaragua will take no
one by surprise. Its location is precisely
where earthquakes of great severity are ex-
pected to occur. In the central portion of
the State of Nicaragua there is remark
able depression, the average elevation of the
land being only about 100 feet above the sea.
Most of this hollow, lying between the
Pacific Coast Range and the Cordllera of
the Andes, is covered by lakes Nicaragua
and Managua; but on the western border of
these runs chain of mountains whose peaks
are still in the volcanic stage. Twelve of
them have been counted and christened. All
are normally quiescent, but all are liable to
burst into activity. In 1885, one of them,
Cosequina, vomited lava and ashes for four
days without cessation; some Of the latter
fell in Jamaica and at Bogota in South
America. In 1888 there was an eruption at
Ometepec in Lake Nicaragua, and fields
which had been cultivated from time i'm
memorial were buried under a heavy cover
of lava.
One may conjecture that, in the work of
creation, this great hollow-it is 800 miles
long-was by some accident prevented from
rising to the level OF the adjacent country,
and that the crust Of the earth is thinner

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Speaker Reeds declaration that Congress
would probably adjourn by the LIST OF October
may after all be realized. The chief work OF the
session has been The solution OF the tarif prob
lem, which now looks something ike an ac-
cOmpished fact. Next to this in Importance
comes tile silver law. which provides for the
purchase Of 4, 100000 ounces OF silver monthly
and the coinage OF 100000 ounces. The anti
trust law makes unlawful "every contract or
combination in the form of trust or otherwise
conspiracy in restraint OF trade" The customs
administration law has already had beneficial
effect on the revenue. The principal ports OF the
country to be fortified in accordance with
we-defned plan of Defense and lne-of-batte
ships will produce an increased feeling OF
security. Soldiers and sailors OF the late war,
incapacltated from the performance oil manual
labor, have been placed upon the pension ioll.
An effort has been made TO increase the
efficiency Of the army, new maritime regulations
have been set In force, encouragement has been
given 10 agricultural and mechanical colleges,
new States have been admitted TO the Union,
0klohoma has been made Territory, and the
usual appropriation bills and other measures of
Importance have been passed. The record OF
the first session of the Fifty-first Congress Will
soon be completed and submitted for popular
approval.
