LUCINDA b. CHANDLER, in the Arena,
discusses ''The Woman Movement and
eXclaims: GAS a builder of material
structures and enterprises, man is a su-
perb success; but the statistics of social
progress do not bear testimony to mascu-
line superiority as builder of the higher
humanity" Ii man has not contributed
the chief motors to all progress, material
and of higher humanity, who has Z?
Woman has not run in advance of him,
and the pages of history do not show that
she has led in a single reform for human
ity which has not been conserved by
man, saving and excepting only that of
the ''woman's rights movement" so
called. The truth is, that the fore
ing of woman, the lifting of the
sex from the level of abject sub
mission and dependence to the plane
of equality with man, was due to him and
not to herself. That she aided by her
protest and her assault, no one will deny;
but that she led, is not capable of being
established by the annals of the ages.

Steel Frame Style.

The City Trustees Order the New York
Steel Frame Style.
Supervisors Bates, Miller and Black
conferred with the City Trustees yester-
day in regard to the letting of a contract
for the construction of voting booths, to
see if the city and county could use them
and divide the cost of their construction.
There were two wooden samples of
booths on hand, submitted by +. Cady.
One was of redwood and put together by
hooks, and the other of pine and bolted.
Alter general discussion of the mat
ter, Mayor Comstock moved that the pine
booths be adopted, the ninety-one re-
qulred for the city's use to cost STA.
Trustee Conklin favored the STEEL or
New York booth, which had been offered
at SIS each. He said the booths were to
be used for all time, and he believed in
having good, substantial ones He
moved to amend the Mayors motion by
having the city adopt the steel booths.
The motion was carried, and the steel
booth was adopted.
1t is understood that when the next
county election comes on the Supervisors
will be asked to defray portion of the
expense
The style of booth selected is very neat.
1t is light frame of steel, so put to-
gether that it can readily be taken down,
is six feet high and four feet square. A
canvas curtain envelopes the frame, being
buttoned around the top. When the
voter is inside the booth the lower half of
the body is visible, while the upper half
is screened by canvas curtain which
partly covers the entrance. 1t is light.
strong affair, and readily handled and
adjusted.
A sample booth can be seen at the office
OF the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company on Second street.

DRIvELING sNoBBERY.

Barons are about as thick in Europe as
blackberries in June. A very large num-
Der of them have proved to be anything
but additions of worth to the race of
man. There is nothing in the title even
there unless it is worn with credit. But
in this country the Baron is no more
than any other. We prefer men to man
worship.
A thriftless German, who left his ma
two land and came to America and did
no better here than there, and finally de-
sorted an American wife and child, turns
out TO have been one of these titled good
for-nothings-and Baron. 1t follows
that his little daughter in San Francisco,
he having died at last, and conferred by
that act the one benefit to mankind to be
passed to his credit, inherits his title,
and so Ida Green becomes a Baroness.
Thereupon the newspaper press of San
Francisco falls upon its knees in adula-
ton before the short petticoats that drape
real live Baroness, who but yesterday
was Telegraph Hill schoolgirl romping
in the full enjoyment of life as an Ameri-
can free-born child
The girlis sensiblesand refuses to be
puffed up by the application of handle
TO her name, and her Irish mother is still
more sensible and proposes that the
child shall remain an American and moi
have her head turned by the glitter of the
title. If the San Francisco press could
have its way, however, that is TO say q
good portion of the press, it would ele-
vate this child upon throne of vain
glory and do homage before it as at the
feet of little god.
The disposition thus manifest TO fawr

ELECTRIC RAILWAY FRANCHISE.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY FRANCHISE.
The Central Street Railway Company
has again petitioned the Board of Trus-
tees for a franchise to operate an electric
railway on p street, this time asking to
be allowed to run from ] to P on Fourth
street. Some months ago the board re-
fused to grant franchises for the road to
come in on Sixth and Eighth streets, the
main reason given being that the interest
Of the city demanded road into the
southwestern portion of the city, and if a
franchise was granted for a road on
Sixth or Eighth street no one would ever
build on Second, Third or Fourth. The
Crocker Art Gallery, one of the most inn
portant public buildings in the city, is
located at Third and o streets, and it was
admitted on all sides that it would be
very desirable to have an electric road
running to that institution. But the rail-
way company did not see its way clear to
building a road so far to the west, and
would not consent to an amendment to
the franchise in that respect.
1t appears that the company is now
willing to build as far west as Fourth
street, and as this viii bring the road
within one block of the Art Gallery
grounds, and give ample facilities to the
people in the southwestern part of the
city, the former objection is removed, and
it is more than likely that the franchise
will now be granted. The RECORD
UNION has pointed out fully the reasons
why Sixth street is the most desirable for
the company and for the people of the
city at large; but if the Trustees in their
wisdom refuse to grant franchise for
that street, then let us have the next best
thing.
The main object is to get efficient and
modern street-railway service on the
south side of the city. Mr.. Henry and
his associates desire to make valuable inn
provements here, spend a great deal of
money in plant, and give employment
tc number of men. In this they
ought to be encouraged. They have built
a splendid line on J, Fifteenth, M and
Twenty-eighth streets, and if this fran
chise is granted, propose to do the same
thing for the south side.

NOW ENFORCE 1T.

The City Trustees are entitled to the
thanks Of the people for having at last
passed an ordinance with penalty at
tached prohibiting the burning of leaves
and other rubbish at hours when the
smoke will not ascend and be swept
away. 1t comes in the nature of bene-
faction, and condones the long and in
comprehensive delay to pass such an
order into the form of law. 1t is simply
amazing that so intolerable nuisance as
rubbish-burning at nightfalI, when the
stencil and smoke settle down over the
city like pail, has been so many years
tolerated.
The REcoRD-UNIoN is prepared TO
show that families have been driven
from the city because invalided members
could not endure the smoke of evening
street fires. We are prepared to show
that the evening smudge has resulted in
the death of human beings; that it Is
seriously harmful to the very old, to
babes, to the asthmatic, to all with weak
lungs or weak eyes; that it is very harm
ful to all who are sick, to the conva-
lescing, to those with nervous disorders,
and that not even the strong and hale
escape the injury that follows this
mantling of the city nightly in cloud
of smoke
Besides, the rubbish fires are not neces-
sary, and are not tolerated elsewhere.
Many other cities have streets walled
in as are ours by lofty trees that shed
their leaves, but because of that fact the
people do not find it necessary to whelm
their towns in smoke for two months
in every year. Still, it is easy enough for
the leaves to be raked together at night
and fired by some member of the family
before noon the next day, though the
head of the household is away at his
work. The plea, therefore, that the
workingman has no hour except that of
nightfall in which to burn rubbish falls
to the ground.
Now, let the law be enforced. 1t can
be, and it must be. This journal pledges
its aid to that end. 1t proposes to see
whether the right to breathe uncontami-
mated air can be maintained in Sacra-
mento. If there is any violation of the
law it proposes to point it out in every
instance and to demand inquiry into the
reason, if arrests are not made, why the
officers neglect their duty.
1t must not be replied that the officers
will act when complaints are filed. Com
plants by neighbors breed neighborhood
quarrels and lead to breaches of the peace.
petty revenges, and all that. 1t is the
duty of every police officer who finds a
rubbish fire kindled to arrest the Of
fender. The fact of fire cannot be con-
cealed; its pillar of smoke puts the police
upon inquiry and warrants the arrest OF
the person in front of whose premises it
Is permitted-for no one goes over to his
neighbours yard or street front to burn

RBFUNDING THE DEBT.
Judge Beatty's Plan Does That to
GeI.fnfll EYtnnt

Judge Beatty's Plan Does That to a
Certain Extent.
Discussions of Judge Beatty's new plan
to relieve the city OF her financial diff
cuJties are now frequent upon the streets,
and the subject is receiving considerable
attention. Those who have heretofore
opposed the policy of the Funded Debt
Commission have favored the refunding
OF the city Indebtedness, so as to put off
the time of payment. To a certain ex-
tent Judge Beatty's new plan does that
very thing. He proposes to loan the city
S3OO,0OO, to be used for needed improve
ments, and with the tive-per-cent. bonds
he receives settle the old debt. The new
bonds will run for twenty years, so that
the plan is really one of refunding, with
the additional advantage that it gives the
city 500, for her pressing needs. The
plan is the best yet proposed, and unless
some one can advance a better one it
ought to be acted upon without DELAY. -.

that she should continue indeed to sport

clusion that our people are amazed
that Ida Green remains the same COM

AN Alabama farmer suggests in the
Eastern journal, entitled can Honest Dol
lar" that what the free coinage men
want is not really free coinage. With
tons upon tons of silver dollars piled up
in the Treasury vaults; with no one
wishing silver dollars paid to him when
ever he is to receive money; with no one
caring whether the silver taken to the
mint is coined or not; it is really true,
says this farmer, that what the advocates
of free coinage demand is not free coin
age after all. What they do wish for is
the privilege of taking seventy-five cents
worth of silver to the mint and getting a
dollar for it. That is putting the ques-
ton into a nutshell, and the shell of a
very small nut at that The Alabama
farmer might have found room in the
nutshell also for the statement, that
while the silver bullionaires and specu-
lators wish only the 100-cent dollar for
the IS cents worth of bullion, the farmers
are taxed to pay the cost of free coinage.
