OUR NEW NAVY.

1t has been announced that the American
squadron of evolution is to circumnavigate
America, starting down the Eastern coast
and fetching up at San Francisco some time
next summer. This will not be as agree
able to the officers as cruise up the Medi-
terranean or the British Channel, but it is
in line with Mr.. Blaine's policy of drawing
closer togethe the American nations. The
appearance of our crack ships in South and
Central American harbors will signify no
menace to the ports reached, but will rather
indicate to their inhabitants that they have
an ally north which is capable of defending
them in case of necessity.
People generally do not realize that the
new American nayy-built, building and
authorized-consists of no less than forty
three vessels. Contracts for the three new
battle-ships will be given out as soon as the
Naval Bill becomes a law. Fourteen ves-
sells, including cruisers and monitors, are
nearly ready for their official trials. OF the
monitors the Miantonomah will be ready to
90 to sea in the fall. The Thomas cruising
monitor, the harbOr defense ram, the dyna-
mite cruiser, the 5300-ton protected cruiser,
the S100-tOn cruiser and six new vessels
provided for in the bill of this session viii
shortly be begun. Bids for the construc-
tion of The two big cruisers will be opened
next Tuesday.
Altogether, the prospect is fair that the
United States will shortly have a navy.
And if, before the vessels are launched,
some one does not invent gun that will
sink them at a single discharge that navy
will probably give good account of itself
in case of trouble with other nations.

YOSEMITE.

Represen tative EandeveT, as we have al
ready stated, has introduced in the House a
bill to establish the Yosemite National
Park in the State of California. The bill is
in effect a proposition from California to
transfer the guardianship Of the Yosemite
Valley from the State Of California to the
National Government. Coming from
Representative of a Congressional district
in the State the people Of the East assume
that the people of this State are willing to
yield control of the reservation. The New
Y ork EreRing Post says that prominent
Iapers in California have indorsed the pro-
pOsed transfer The Post adds that the
''0ne condition necessary is that the new
reservation shall be kept out Of the hands
OF the California i2competents who have
disgraced themselves and the State by their
inefficient management of the present
grant" The new reservation" the Post
refers to is the enlargement of the area of
the present reservation so as TO include the
watershed OF the Yosemite streams and
other natur al attractions Of the locality in
cluded under the general term Of the YO-
semitic Valley We do not know upon what
authority or at whose inStigati0n Mr.. Van
deytr introduced this bill. We do know,
however, that it does not represent the
views OF any considerable number Of people
in this State on the proposition to surrender
the control Of the Yosemite to The National
Government. Since Mr.. Vandever intro
duced the bill he has reached the wise con-
ciusion not to attempt to misrepresent the
Sixth California District in the next Con-
gress. His declination of a nomination,
with the probable substitution Of Califor-
nian in his place, may iniure the prospects
Of the next Democratic nominee for that
district, whoever he may be, but can hardly
injure the State. While admitting that the
management of Yosemite has not been
what it should be the State will claim the
right to undo the mischief that has been
done, as far as possible. and to place the
reservation in hands that win develop the
magnificent natural attractions of the local
ity. Ii Buc kleyism was permanent con-
GItlon in this State we would willingly sur
render the control Of Yosemite to the Gen.
eral Government. But we have a strong
hope yet that the evils Of Buckleyism may
be corrected by the action of the people of
cur own State.
The morning call., 1890-06-07
PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL rANK.

A railroad connecting the system of the
United States with that of Mexico and Cen
tral and South American countries, an
international bank to facilitate commercial
transactions and lines OF steamers connect
ing ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts with the several cities down the
coast on both sides, are the most prominent
feature of the administrations broad
American policy. The railroad, OF
course, is a thing of the future,
but Congress has readily responded to
the demand for an appropriation for
surveys. The steamship lines may be
running in two or three years. The inter-
national bank project is one of the recon-
mendations of the American conference.
There is no proposition to involve any
government in financial responsibility for
the bank, but merely to grant a corporate
franchise, which will open the affairs of the
bank to examination by officials of the
Treasury Department. The design is to
enable American merchants in the two
continents to do business with each other
without drawing on London banks. London
and Hamburg banks now possess a
monopoly Of banking facilities in respect to
commercial transactions between the two
American continents and tax all such
transactions from one-half of one per
cent TO two per cent The conference
plan which the administration has
accepted proposes to establish an inter-
national bank with capital Of S10000,-
600 with branches in the principal South
American cities. 1t is through their bank
ing facilities that English and German mer-
chants are enabled TO give the long credits
which have gained for them so much South
American trade. American merchants SELL
ing on three months time compete with
European merchants who through their
superior banking facilities can allow credi t
of nine months or even year. The in
ternational bank will serve as a link to unite
the United States and the South American
systems without considerable departure
from the customs OF either. 1t is evidently
the policy of the administration to cultivate
the closest possible commercial relations
with the countries south of US. 1t is, per-
haps, the only direction in which our for
eign trade can be extended-with profit to
this country. In respect to the develop
ment of our manufacturing industries we
occupy about the same relation to the coun-
tries south of US that Europe occupies to US.
| By direct lines of communication and the
improved banking facilities which the estab-
| llshment of the proposed bank offers, We
will be able to compete in many kinds of
finished goods with our European rivals.

is FREE SILVER COINAGE DEsIR-
ABLE?

Our friends of the Alta California seem
to advocate the free coinage of silver at the
present time upon its former value in re-
srect to gold, for it says:
Despite Mr.. Mcktnley's assurance, the pros
pee. for satisfactory silver legislation this ses-
sion does not seem very bright. There seems TO
lie Il hIlch where, ana every move appears
10 come 10 full stop before it gets fairly started
il al indications are not at fault, every silver
measure that would be satisfactory to the West
stubs its toe against The White House. II is dis
couagiug, but il IS an uudeniable fact that any
Tree coinage bill must have a two-ihIrds majority
10 become law, Is there any likelihood OF this
being obtained = We are afraid not.
OF course the object of the Alta Cali
J07Hia in the paragraph quoted is to attack
President Harrison, but would it be judi
Cious to open our mints at the present time
10 the free coinage of silver on the old
basis? We apprehend not. for there would
be a difficulty at once. Silver would form
our entire currency and gold would disap-
pear. 1t is better for Congress to go slowly
not 10 take up silver for free coinage just
yet. We do not believe there is the slight
est prospect of the free coinage of silver at
present. 1t may, however. answer the pur-
pose of journal which wishes to attack
the President to use the question, although
Its managers may be aware that Congress
stands in the breach.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The affairs Of the Sugar Trust are not as
flatterine as they formerly were. the refin-
ing business, it is reported, having been
carried on at loss at times in New York
and Boston. The courts and active COM
petitors have cut into the monopoly'S profits
and now it is announced that cargo of
beet sugar has been landed at New Orleans,
something like shipping coal to Newcastle.
The Deet-sugar industry has been fostered
abroad to such an extent that almost half
of the worlds supply is now the product of
the succulent root.
1t is now said that Emperor William was
more seriously injured in the recent car
riage accident than at first reported and has
made arrangements for regency in case Of
his death or being incapactated. This, it
is probable, is merely precautionary meas
ure, but if the worst should come to pass in
the near future, a regency would have a
weakening effect on the triple alliance and
may result in a great change in the Euro
pean situation.

Furnishing him as a matter of course.
Much interest is centered in the approach
ing German Army maneuvers when the
new smokeless powder will be put to the
test. One army corps, equipped with the
new rifles, will be pitted against another,
armed with the rifles that proved so effec-

One Of our San Francisco newspaper con-

for certain length of time, now seems to be
turning its attention TO gambling upon CEN

who win purchase lottery tickets. no mat

perfectly honest. 1t may be well, however,
to state that the disbursements in money

about as much as did the old-horse lottery.

How unsafe it is to theoriZe on such fig

bi rths and deaths, The total births during
the last year were 3545; the total deaths OF
persons under 20 years of age was, last

ing that last year was an average, have been
an accretiOn of 1726 in the number of school
children. But the actual accretion is only
502. The fact is these censuses, like so
many other statistical tables, are made at
haphazard and can only be regarded as ap-
pTOXimate estimates.

the absentees were at work in shops, stores
and domestic service. Quite a number OF
boys of IA and 10 are working for the dis
trCt telegraph, and as 0ffice-bOys and ap-
prentices, when they can find job; and as
large number of girls of the same age are
serving as nurses and hOusemaidS either in
their own families OF in those of others.
There is very little shirklng of school in
San Francisco. Both parents and children
realize the necessity of education. The
reasons which prompt Eastern Legislatures
to adopt compulsory education laws do not
exist here. Ii is only in communities where
life is hard and poverty chronic that learn
ing is disdained.
There is a variety of opinion as to the
proper scope of our public schools. We
teach children to read, write and cipher.
We give them some elementary knowledge
of history, geography and grammar, and
imbue them with capacity to learn, and
we have held that at this point the work OF
public education is finished. Others think
the State should take the child along to the
extent of teaching him or her trade or
other way of earning living. The State
teaches the child what every child should
know, and leaves special instruction to
private instructors. 1t assumes that the
best place in which a boy may learn the
blacksmith trade is in a blacksmth-shop
and that if girl wants to be dressmaker
or milliner she should go for instruction
to an expert in these branches of art
There is much danger that if the State
should undertake TO teach everything it
would teach nothing thoroughly.
