will pass are being spanned every forty or
fifty feet by ropes with pendant flags and
streamers.
The only effect of this part of the decora-
-tons is to bring before the eye more of the
brilliant colors than are seen on the other
streets: hut there is no taste displayed in
hanging the flags, and the attempt to carry
out a system in decorating block alter
block fails in its purpose if it were ever
meant that the decorations should be a
source of inspiration.
Colurs may form harmony, as sounds
chord, by their proper arrangement; but so
long as tine decorator is incapable OF APP
preciatipg the vibrations of color, he is on
a par with the would-be musician who can
not appreciate time and sound.
no one can pass along Market or Mont
gtmery street under the Tapping pieces of
indiscriminate colors and be inspired and
elevated by their presence.
A NATIVE NIGHTMARE.
Criticism. however, does not cease con-
fronting the arch now being erected on Mar
ket street 1t rather eliminates there.
Even the Decoration Committee, whose
work it was to select the design for the arch,
are not as one in their bursts OF admiration.
One of the committeeman swears by all that
is green that unless certain changes are
made the warrant will never receive his
signature.
This is, on his part. caused by his knowl-
edge that the committee has not received
what it bargained for. They did not eX-
pect to have the arch top-heavy and the
'front.' sides and ends covered with paintings
of q most indifferent character. The arch
has been dubbed The Native Sons Night
of Ia nappratiOn
Committee proposes to throw off the effects
OF such depressing dream and wake up to
a realization that $500 is to be given for
an appropriate arch, thing of beauty, and
not of horror,
There are three experts at work on the
arch to find its real value, ana few aston
ishing fl ures are expected to be turned in
to the Native Sons during the next forty
eight hours.

A POLITICAL DESIGN.
Brooklyn Parlor, No. Isl, of East Oak
land adopted The following resolution on
Monday night:
NHEEEAs, The San Francisco Examiner has
offered an elegant ana costly badge to be COM
peed Tor by The members of The order and to
be ava ded 10 the member receiving the high
est number OF vote aud whereas. the Exam
liner has made various statements regarding
The eligibility Of votes In that contest and finally
allowing any one 10 vote who desired; and
whereas, owing TO The mode of proceedings we
DO not think that the contest can be fair and
that The most popular Native Son can conscien-
tiOusly win The badge by iaif means and
whereas. said contest appears 10 be a means OF
Advertising aud money.makng scheme,
She ded by tie fair name of our order, aud Will
be Il boon to designing politicians; therefore,
be iIs
Resoired. That Brooklyn Parlor No. ISL N
=. q. w, does not recognize The said contest as
fair aud bona fde, and shall abstain fiom IN
any manner aiding such scheme.
CONTEMPT FOR THE EXAMINER.
The Examiners contest in securing vote
for the most popular Native Son" arouses
much criticism within the order and many
OF the members refuse 10 vote. The Ex-
aminer has so arranged the contest that any
one, whether a member of the order or not,
can vote as many ballots as he can clip from
as mary copies of that paper as he can get.
For Instance man might buy 100 copies
and throw leo votes for a friend. But
how" asks the Native Son, docs this de-
termine pOpularity?"
1t is apparent to the members of the n. S.
@. ". that their order is being made use of
by newspaper and a jeweler. 1t can do
me of4aiiIzation no benefit, and, in fact, is
calculated to arouse jealousies. The bal
lotlng so far shows the absurdities of the
method, for the man who leads has a reputa.
