\ WOMAN'S HATE.

Il nate you, hate you" the nader
said,
And her eyelids dropped and hel
face grew red,
And she turned from her lover and
hung her head.
The flush crept up her rich rown
hair,
And she plucked to pieces q rosebud
fair,
AS she stole glance at her lover
there.
And he-these men are SO full OF
guile.
His eyes a-glisteniDg with mirth the
while,
Looked calmly on, with a doubling
smile.
III hate you, I hate your she said
again,
And she tapped her toe on the carpet
then,
AZ If each tap we're a stab at men.
Her lip was a-quiver. her eyes in
mist,
Her cheeks and throat, as the cum
gods kissed,
Were bathed in the essence of am,-
thyst.
And then her love, with O startled
look,
Grew serious, quite, and his face fo:-
SOCK
The confident glow which it erst
while took.
And, Oh, very WE'LL" as he turned
to 20;
''And if it please you to have 1t
Why, so it shall be, as you doubtless
know"
he took one step, but sudden turn
Oh, n UGH the sweetest is bliss IN
earned
And looked in the tear.wet eyes that
yeArned.
No word she spoke, but her arms
entwined
Around his neck. Oh, wom-
ans mind
Is puzzle, to which 10 key you'll |
find.
Upon his shoulder she laid her
head, |
And he kissed her cheek, which was
still rOse-red;
You know 1 hate you!n was all she
said.

their nelghbors for their christian
charity, en- tertained a visiting clergy
man from a distant city. Among the
guests were members of their own
church. The little daughter of the

good doctor. and very curious 10 know
why people said grace before dining.
The doctor was pleased at the cues

I'll good people endeavored to return
thanks in that manner for the good
things which were given.
Yes, exclaimed the little iuuuisI.

TIE SITE AGAIN.

\ gentleman who claims to be familiar
with the locality selected for Postofice

streets corner never was a marsh. The gen.
tlem9n says:
The records OF he CITY and County Surveyor,

slow that il never was marsh. Again, the man
that graded that part Of the country says II was

three days fifty atidayits have gone on from men
who We're here as far back as 80 and including
taos f.om people Who owned lots and are not
now interested IN anything in that section.
Evidence in regard to the nature OF the
site IS so conflicting that Judgment must
wait upOn proof. The mass of evidence 60
ing to show that the corner Of Seventh and
Mission streets is not 4 swamp is certainly
entitled to credit. II the ground selected is
solid the locality would not be so Objeetiona-
bic. Il would bring the Federal courts and
the county courts in reasonable proximity.
The fact that the location is south Of Mar

ton The San Francisco of the future will

CALL objected to the selection on the ground
that the disparity between the assessed
value Of the property and the price asked of
the Government is too great The transae-
ton By which the Government was to become
possessed of site on when to erect four
OF five million dollar public building should
have been conducted in liberal spirit. Our
citizens should have endeav0red to secure
the best possible site at the lowest possible
price Instead the four years during which
the transaction has been pending have been
consumed in efforts TO realize as much profit
as possible out OF the necessities of the
Government OGr correspondent makes an
effort 70 show that there is not a profit Of
more than $4,000 in the transaction for
the real estate agent who has effected the
sale. Still the fact remains that the Gov
eminent is asked TO pay S1,O4O.0O0 for
piece of property that the Assessor OF San
Francisco values at less than S2jO,000. One
fact of this nature is more telling argu-
ment than a score Of plausible explanations.

THEN AND NOW.

A local free-trade contemporary is not
satisfied with the results of the protective
policy as shown in the iron and steel trade.
1t finds that certain grade of steel rails
are manufactured in England at from S21 81
to S24 30 ton, while American rails of cor
responding grade are sold at from S31 to
S37 80. If there were no duty on foreign
rails the English product could take pos
session OF our market. When a protective
duty heavy enough to protect was first
placed on foreign steel rails there was no
American steel rail industry. We i'm
ported all We used and paid from $50 to
S11O ton. Under the protective policy the
United States has become the largest iron
and steel producer in the world. We have
passed Great Britain, whose statesmen said
twenty years ago that the only effect Of the
American duty would be to increase the
price the American public would have to
pay for steel rails and other products Of
iron. Our free-trade friend seems to think
it national misfortune that the iron and
steel industry should have been transferred
from Great Britain to the United States. 1t
would have the duty on iron and its
products taken off and the industry exposed
to competition with foreign Industries
abundantly supplied with cheap labor.

HYDRAULIC MINING.

Mr.. Z. F. Spence. President of the First
National Bank Of Los Angeles, suggested
to the Bankers Convention the advisability
of extracting gold from the California noun
tains by the hydraulic process and compen-
sation to the property holders for the losses
they may sustain in consequence. Wedoubt
much if Mr.. Spence realizes the magnitude
of the bill of compensation that the State
would become sponsible for if this sugges-
ton should be carried out The land that
would be covered up by slickens would be
the least of these items to be paid for. Mr..
Spence might begin his figuring on compen-
Stations by estimating the value Of the bay
of San Francisco to the State. Approaching
the scene Of hydraulic mining he would find
the bays of San Pablo and Suisun, which
have been partially filed by the hydraulic
mining that was done before the law put a
stop to it. And there is the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers and their branches
which now afford some relief from the exac-
tons of the railroad company. The value
of these bays and rivers is simply incalcula-
bic. There is not gold enough in the noun
tains to pay per cent Of the damage that
would result from the removal of the hills
containing It to the valleys and waterways.
The morning call., 1891-10-16


The boodlers have re ceived bad tidings
from Los Angeles. The Supreme Court has
remanded witness Raymond, who unsuc-
ceSsfuIly essayed to show that Superior
Judge Wallace, in impanelng the Grand
Jury that created such CONSERVATION among
the boodlers, was guilty of such grave
Irregularities that the body of men sworn in
by him was not even a de facto Grand Jury.
The Supreme Court, without passing upon
the question whether the Grand Jury was
impaneled in accordance with the provisions
of the law relating to that subject, declared
it is sufficient to state that the body bent on
investigating the bO0dlers and their neiari-
Gus operations certainly has a de factO
existence. This being so the witness was
clearly guilty of contempt in refusing to
testify. The recently oftrepeated declara-
ton that witness could not raise the aues-
ton Of the Grand Jury's competency to act
is backed up by the assertion that it is thu
duty OF the witness to testify as required,
leaving the question of the legality of the
Grand Jury to be tested in the modes pro-
vided by law by those who may have an in
teYest in the question.
