FOR THE CHILDREN.
POLICE PROTECTION.
This Is What the Residents OF Richm ond
District Want.


The people living in that portion Of San
Francisco known and officially designated
as the Richmond District think that Chief
Crowley ought to send some OF the new po-
licemen out their way. They have been coax
ing for better police protection for num-
Der Of years, and now with the recent heavy
addition to the force see no good reason
why their many requests in this regard
should not be granted.
Then they want better fire apparatus,
which has been promised by the Fire Conn.,
missioners.
These matters were discussed at last even
ing's meeting of the Point Lobos Club, the
want medium Of the citizens of this portion
of the peninsula, and committees were APP
pointed to put the subjects referred to above
before the proper authorities.
The Secretary was instructed to draw up
a petition to the Park Commissioners ask
ing them to ratify the action of the Super
visors in resembling the Geary-street dunn
my line fra nchise, and the Executive Com
rnittee reported change in the Twenty
fourth avenue sewer district.
The Point Lobos erty-holders are
much pleased with the work of the club in
securing needed Improvements during the
past six months. Several new members
ininad la st night.

terday was Al, 500, while another modest in
dividual paid 10 cents to register his belief
that the "punkin" was no great shakes
anyhow, and did not have over 40 seeds in
it. The pumpkin promises to be source
of great profit. 1t will be made into pie by
the institute ladies after the seeds are
counted.
The grab-bag is one of the most delusive
games OF the lair, and when man pays his
"two-bits" and takes grab" and gets
paper-doll baby or a tin-whistle or piece
of chewing gum, he feels himself in luck.
especially as the bewitching young ladies
who take in the quarters engagingly invite
him to try again.
All the other features OF the fair showed
to much better advantage yesterday than on
the opening day, aud the financial success
of the enterprise has already been more
than assured by the receipts to date.

A SPLENDID PROGRAMME.

The Second Night at the Fair of the
Youths Directory.
Another good attendance marked last
night at the fair. 1t was a crowd, too, that
does not 20 merely to be amused. but who
are influenced by genuine desire to help
along the good cause-that of the homeless
boys, in whose behalf the fair is being held.
The management Of the festival, and
especially the large number Of ladies who

are conducting the booths, are particularly
we'll pleased at the great success that has
marked their efforts.
SCENE OF BEAUTY.
The Pavilion was lighted earlier than the
night before, and the result was seen In an
earlier arrival of the crowds. AT s o'clock.
when the chandeliers were all ablaze and
the booths Illuminated, the scene was one
of ideal beauty. The attendance was very
different in the evening from that of the
day, for while children were there In large
Plumbers all day long, the evening was
marked by adult sights GERS. Very many
honored the occasion by appearing in full
dress, favor that was appreciated by many
Of the ladies in the booths, who were in
evening co stume.
The booths, of course, remained the feat
ure and principal attraction of the fair, but
other features were not lacking. A varied
and interesting programme had been pre-
pared. beginning with an orchestra overture
at o'clock and continuing until after 10
o'clock.

best and the large audience who occupied
the seats in front of the stage was thor
oughly at home.
Rev. DIR. Thomas Chalmers EastOn of CAL
vary Presbyterian Church made the ad-
dress. II was an eloquent Grafton and paid
deserved tribute to the efforts of the asso-
citation in successfully founding and main
tanning the humane institution known as the
Youths Directory. He made a strong ap-
peal for a generous support and patronage
Of the fair in aid OF the boys.
The feature of the programme was the
really fine exhibition given by the Verein
Eintracht. The neat gray suits of the
turner's showed off to good effect their won
derful feats of skill. agility aud strength.

was st. Anthony's booth. Mrs. p. j. Cor

difficult to get them all started. The boys

The following Cup 10 yesterday morning IL looked
as though the one twelvecub scheme would be

President Williams, of the Chicago club, however,
started East and he removed the charm. He ar
rived here last night and had an extended interview
with the Wagner brothers, and opened their eyes TO
the little game that being worked. The plan OF
action was practically the rs that outlined IN
President Phelpss letter. and the only wonder Is that
anybody should have been taken In mt all. The WORK
was done in sections. First Chris Won der Abe was
approached and he assured tina. the Wagners ana
Prince were willing TO quit. Then Mr. Wagner was
assured that Mr.. Williams ready 10 retire. And
so it went, care being taken that no two were OPP

THE ISSUES WERE NOT BROAD ENOUGH.
To the Editor. OF The Tri bune.
Sir: notice in this mornings Tribune the opinion
of ex-senator Miller In regard TO the causes that led
to Republican defeat ut the last election ! am well
satisfied that Mr.. Mler's views are sound The
issues laid upon too narrow lines. A few days
since talking with Of the most prominent
business men of Rochester, stanch Republican. lie
told that he had beforen the canvass OF an
important election-winessed much indifference
among Republican voters. The average voter, he
said, cared very little for Tammany methods. be-
lieve this feeling prevailed largely throughout the
State aud lost thousands of votes Mckinley bravey
grapped the great issues that affect the best and
dearest Interests OF the people. He won, as he well
deserved TO do President Harrison elected on the
issues, and in the great National struggle now
near at hand. victory only be gained by the boid
and unfnchng presentation Of the doctrine OF pro
lection TO American industry. Whatever defects
may from time to time, be disclosed In the practical
workings Of the tariff should be and will be remeded

SOUTHERN METHODS IN THE NORTH.

To the Editor of The TIL bune.
sir: Allow me little space in The Tribune for the
purpose of suggesting consideration which. however
obvious IL may seem, IS nevertheless of vital impor
tance especially mt this juncture when constitutional
government is in danger Of being ovcrthrown in ths
North as has long been throughout the South When
Blaine and Logan were rejected by the Copperhead-
Mugwump contingent of the coalition of which the
Southern rebels constituted the nucleus, every one Oh
the contracting parties knew perfectly well that Grover
Cleveland would owe what called his election
TO the suppression OF the Republican vote doth OF the
blacks and whites throughout the SOUTH by fraud and
violence. Now / ask why any Republican should
be surprised at the the Democratic party arc
taking in New-York state at this time in cndeavOfng
to secure a majority In the Legislature by fraud as
open-violence they not yet strong enough TO
attempt in the North. The leopard has not changed
