repeated that they were men who loved peace
and long stroVe to secure it, but did not
weakly shrink from war when it became a
necessity to national life and honor.
And this is the great lesson which Memo

war may never come to this rising generation;
but, il it does come, ret them think upon the

patriotism, Of firm resolve for the right and
unyielding devotion to duty.

NoN-PAKTIsAs CANDIDATES.

This is not time to IN Ike bargains with
Buckley for n0n-partlsan candidates. The
Republicans have EdeGtakrn IL rout Buck
ley, and are net going to provide places in
any OF the ti'y deIarln ents for any of his
lambs. Alliances Of the nature proposed
would strengthen Buckley and correspond
ingly weaken the Republicans. Under GER
tain conditions n rGn-partisan Board of
School Directors would be unobiectionabIe.
Under similar conditions a non-partisan
municipal government would be preferable
10 the partisan basis which, as we have
seen, enables one man to obtain almost
absolute power through Tie allegiance of
men to the party with which they act in
national affairs. But the essential condition
of bipartisan municipal government is the
snboTdination by both parties Of party inter-
ests to the public good. THE CALL has
charged that Buckeyes methods Of govern
ment are corrupt. Nearly all the Repub-
lcan party and q considerable proportion of
the Democratic believe the charge TO betrue.
Believing this, how cap the Republican
party form an alliance with Buckley " Which

ON a BUsINEss BAsIs.

The first positive step in a movement to
place the affairs Of this city on business
basis was taken Tuesday night. A business
man of high character was nominated for
Mayer and platform was adopted which q
business man of high character can stand
upon. All the plundering schemes that
have been darkening the political atmos-
uhere for weeks past have disappeared.
They did not seem to have a friend.
Tie platform reaffiums the dollar limit on
broader basis. The growth of the city and
the increase in taxable properly warrant the
broadening of the basis from S21500O,OOO to
S250001,0OO. The Republican Convention
declare in favor of substantial school houses,
well paved, well kept and well lighted
streets. clean and adequate sewers. 1t wants
the Fire Department taken out of politics
and made simply and solely safeguard
against fire. 1t demands that this depart
luent be conducted on business basis, and
proposes to provide it with the latest i'm
pIoyements and appliances. The city print
ing ring and the street pOultce ring are
denounced. Concerning the former, the con-
yenti0n pledges its candidates for the Office
Of Supervisor and county offices to the re-
duction OF all charges TO reasonable COM
pensation for labor performed, which will
best be effected by the letting OF all adyer-
ttsiug to the lowest bidder a. open competi-
ton. In respect to the poultice ring, the
convention pledges the Supervisors TO re
store to the property-owners the great ad-
vantage of competition in paving material,
as well as the right Of the majority of the
ONEers 10 determine how and with what
material the street fronting their property
Shall be paved"
1t may be said. of course, that platforms
accomplish nothing. But in the hands of
the right kind Of men the platform Of the
party Is the chart OF government. Ii is
studied as the organic law is studied. Con-
situations provide courts to secure their en-
forcement, but the pledge of an honorable
man is IS binding as the decree of 4 court.

which holds him to faithful fulfillment of
his p'eIges. As the head Of the municipal
ticket he owes it to himself and his imme-
date supporters to see that the Board of
Supervisors is composed of men Of charac-
ter, men who will not combine with schem-
ers Of either party to promote projects which
the platform condemns. The convention
has begun so we'll that we have confidence
in its future work.

THE PAEIs OF AMEKICA.

The Chairman of the Buckley municipal
convention committed the nominees of the
convention to the policy of what they term
progress" 1t is proposed to make San
Francisco the Paris of America. The Chair
man said the party wanted a man who would
make the city as great and grand as it ought
TO be. The Buckley platform will probably
be more definite. 1t will disclose the nature
. OF some of the schemes of establishment
and the means by which they are to be car
ried out. Paris is the capital and chief city
of a nation of 100000 people. In point OF
population it is the second largest city in
Egrope, aad in point of social attractiyeness
the first. For some centuries Europe has
looked upon Paris as its most brilliant city
With its history and its social glamour it W as
not a bad idea to invest hundred millions
or so in making Paris attractive TO rich peo-
pie from all parts of the world. A stream
OF money was thus directed to Pals which
enriched all France. 1t should BE- borne in
. mind also that there was population of
81. 100000 to stand the cost of embeIlishment.
San Francisco is the chief city of State
having less than one million and quarter OF
people. In round estimate California is
about ole-thirtelh as popuous as France.

Join us and make San Francisco the Paris Of
America. What we do in that way we must
dc. at our own expense. Whatever debt we
may incur in embelishing the city must
eventually be paid by our people. The
Chairman of the Buckley convention will
probably admit that the conditions between
Paris and San Francisco are not exactly
equal. Such debt as was incurred in max
iHg Paris what it is would bear hard on our
100000 people. 1t is not certain either
alter we had made our Paris that it would
draw visitors from all parts Of the world as
Paris does. Paris is geographical as well

THE GROWTH OF ALASKA.

The report OF Governor KNAPP Of Alaska
sets at rest the story that the fur seal had
been driven from the Pryb.loT Islands by
indisclimnate sealing III the open sea. The
company which succeeded the Alaska Com
mercial seems to have taken the full
number of fu,l-SiZsd skins and the Gov
ernor estimates that half as many more
were taken By other parties; so that the
supply of skins this season Will be fully up
to the average, ard 10 apprehenSionS need
be felt OF a scarcity.
The other items of intelligence in the
Governors report are not so pleasing.
There are fourteen Government schools in
the Territory. Int the Indian children re-
fuse TO attend school. They had rather fish
and shoot. i there any Iemedy for this?
There is a pretty stringent prohibitory law
in Alaska which was enacted b. Congress.
1t is occasionally invoked in the case of some
drunken lidian; but so far as the whites
are concerned it is Il dead letter. In that
region, as well as some others, persons crave
alcohol, and TIE laws seem powerleS5 to pre-
vent its use. Juries decline TO iudict or to
convict, and the law sumbeIs in innocuous
desUetude. Laws DO not execute them
selves, and when they are net sustained by
public opinion citizens generally refuse to
execute them.
What is most needed just now in Alaska
is brief business code OF laws adapted 10
the condition and circumstances of the Terri
tory. TIE Federal statutes are inapplicable
to a region which differs in climate, in
products, in seasons, and in all the condi-
tons Of life from every other part OF the
country; and no substitute has been pro-
Yided for them. Under the sway of the
Alaska Commercial Company, the will of the
company's agents was law, and ii had to be
Obeyed under penalty Of unpleasant c0nSe-
quences. The new company has not yet
added The Office Of legislator to its other
attributes. Ii would be a good idea, as
Governor Knapp suggests, for the President
to dispatch a iudici6us iaWye r to the Terri
tory with instructions 10 frame code OF
laws for lis government. Congress would
probably embOdy his report in n statute 1t
would lie likely at tie same time to extend
to Alaska such portions Of the land laws as
might be found applicable 10 the Territory,
and so settle a number OF disputes over
mining claims. A Territory which appears
to contain quantities Of gold, silver and
other metals, AID which row exports ten
millions worth OF merchandise year, is en-
titled 10 respectful consideration at the
hands Of the sovereign power.

HuCKLEY,s Professions.

We notice that Buckley's candidate for
Mayor desires to discuss measures OF policy
with the inhabitants of San Francisco.
This we imagine is precisely what Buckley
himself would like to do, if he could mis-
lead the public thereby. 1t is not measures
that our citizens would discuss with Buck
ley and his lambs, but they would discuss
the impossibiiity of obtaining an honest
government under his management Our
citizens have tried Buckley as well as the
candidate whom he dominates for Mayor,
and we are free to admit that results have
not been favorable. Would our citizens be
so short-sighted as to enter into discussion
with Buckley or any of his candidates as to
what they would do in the event of their
election? The promises or professions OF
these men are good for nothing, and this
should be fully understood by every Voter in
San Francisco by this time. The Buckley
regime has been one for plumber. His
Supervisors passed ordinances without any
regard for the wishes of the people. Demo-
Gratis particularly should stamp out Buck
leyiSm, for so long as he and his lambs hold
power and control nominating conventions

Is IT TO BE A SCRAMBLE?

At the regular meeting of the Academy Of
Sciences, held on Monday evening, notice
was given of q proposed amendment to the
constitution. creating 4 new class of asSo-
ciate members, and restricting voting 10
scientists only" The public do not quite
understand what this means. If it means
that the management Of this wealthy insti-
tuition, with its fine new building on Market
street and the property acquired as reSiduary
legatee of James Lick, shall be taken out Of
the hands Of men of business and placed in
the hands Of microscopes, astronomers,
botanistS, biologists and professors of CON-
parative anatomy, the public will have 10
hesitation in deciding that the change
should not be made.
1t is right and proper that most of the
time devoted 10 meetings Of the academy
should be occupied by scientists in explain
ing to the world the additions they have
made-or think they have made-to the
sum of human knowledge. But it IS neither
right nor proper that the business interests
of the academy and the disposition of its
large property should be committed to per-
| sons who are not familiar with business
aud not yersed in the management of prop
erty. At the present time tile officers, coun-
Gil and curators of the academy are, or
ought TO be, men of scientific learning, each
OF them especially skilled in some certain
branch. While the Trustees Of the institu-
ton, who handle its income and manage its
finances, are; Charles f. Croker (Chair-

chant. If the purpose of the proposed
amendment to the constitution is to strip

are members Of the academy, of the right

As the handsome building on Market

Franciscan views 1t with pride, because it
affords proof that in this young city science
IS valued, ard honoTed with noble home.
EXultation is tempered by a regret that the
ableSt and wisest Of our scientists does not
occupy the place that is his due in the

more under the plea of improvements. Why
not? This is in line with Buckeyes action
generally. Buckley and his candidates like
money. This has been proved over and
over again. They got good deal OF money
from the State during the last session of the
Legislature. 1t has taken considerable

San Francisco the Paris of America there
would be some hesitation about intrusting
the work to Buckley. A good deal of the
public money which passes through his

the way. His methods of doing business
have been tried and found to be expensive.

Horticulture and very successful orange
grower, has brought back to life and bear
ing his orange trees, which for some seasons
have been infected with the insect known
as ''tcerya purrhasi." The ravages of this
scale reduced his crop on thirty acres from

if the grove must 90, but for the season in
February and March next it is figured that
the crop will be about 10000 boxes. Before

site, these destructive insects have almost
wholly disappeared. and the owner expects
10 further trouble from this source.
