A Good Street Sign.

Officer Fl. W. Barr, of the police force, has
taken enough interest in the matter of street
signs 10 have two made at his own expense and
placed on electric light poles as samples for the
inspection of the city fathers. Captain Barr
has made the subject OF street signs a study, and
has come to the conclusion that the sign
adopted By Denver is the best in use. Il con-
sists of two pieces Of galvanized iron, Skis
inches each, and set at right angles on electric
light posts at street intersections. The back
ground is painted a brilliant black, and the
lettering is in clear white These signs are so

throws its full rays on both faces of
the inside angle, so that the names
of the streets can be read at the distance
of half block on the darkest night In the day
time the side OF the sign away from the light

Barr placed one of these signs on the corner of
Commercial street and Yesler avenue, where 1t
attracted much favorable notice. Now he has
placed two on Columbia street. one at the inter
section of Seventh street, and the other at

AN UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK.

Numerous amendments to the
Constitution will be before the
people at the next election, but
there is no certainty that they will
ever become part of the organic
law.
The record Of the Supreme
Court on this matter is some
what confusing.
Last summer the Supreme
Court in the case of Esmeralda
vs.. the State, decided that the
special election held to pass GER
tain constitution amendments, was
valid in spite of the fact that the
voters were not registered. 1t
held that the people voted in good
faith, and no informality could eff
feet the result.
In the case of the vote on the
new constitution it took an entire
ly different view.
The people had voted in good
faith, but there had been infor-
malities in the returns, and con-
sequently the evil Of the people"
fully acknowledged in one decision
was completely ignored in another.
Under this confusing state of
affairs, the APPEAL is under the
impression that there can be very
little certainty about the passage
OF the proposed amendments. If
a clerk forgets to post the returns
up just right, or printer makes
a mistake printing the ballots, the
whole thing will be knocked into
a cooked hat-or not, as the case
may be.

A POSSIBLE REASON,

The bill giving actual cultiva-
tors of State land, reduction on
price of every acre they cultivated,
failed to pass the legislature.
The passage of this bill would
have been followed inside of 60
days, by a large influx Of capital
from the East, and large tracts Of
land now entirely non-product-
i've, would have soon begun to
support colonies of industrious
people. The bill providing for
the marrying of cousins, however,
was passed.
We do not believe there is any
harm in such a bill. as scientific
Investigations demonstrates and
statistics sustain the finding that
such marriages are not followed
by undesirable physical or mental
results. In such a bill, however,
the public can have no general in
terest.
The bill however, which would
have invited large influx OF cap
ital and population to the State,
was not wanted.
The APPEAL believes that the
men who control Nevada do not
want any more population here,
and if there was an influx Of sew
eral thousand people here within
the next few years, it might result
in political changes, which would
upset the existing order of things.

Admiral Porter Dead.

Admiral PORTER, who died at Washing
ton Yesterday, spent the evening OF his
! life in writing "reminiscences of his visit to
| Richmond in April, 1865, in company with
| President LINCOLN. This, his last literary
work. did not add to his great reputation.
! II was full of errors and crudities, not 20
say absurdities. His most merciless critic
was General TBUMBULL, United States
army, who in a recent article in BelfOrd
spoke of the Admiral's stories as the
dwellings of a vain old man who was
anxious to associate his name in history
with Mr.. LEcoLN's.
The Admiral was a son ofthat Lieutenant
PORTER who distinguished himself in the
war with Tripoh and who was for some
time prisoner in the enemys hands, and
who as captain and afterwards as commo-
dore, made brilliant record in our second
war with Great Brit ain. His son, the de-
ceased, was born in Chester, Del, January
8, 1918, and entered our navy as midship-
man, February 2. 1929. At the outbreak of
the late war he was appointed commander
and served below New Orleans. He was
at the capture of New Orleans and Vicks-
burg both. In 1S64-l865 he commanded the
naval forces in the two bombardments of
Fort Fisher. n. C., and was at itssurrender
January 10, 1865. At the evacuation of
Richmond he was at CITY Point, whence
he came to Richmond. He was promoted
to the position of vice-admiral July rs,
1866, and served as superintendent of the
Naval Academy till 1869, when he was de-
tailed for duty in the Navy Department at
Washington. In 1870 he was appointed adj
miral of the navy and this Office he held
at his death.
He was the author of half dozen books,
including q life of bis father, Commodore
DAVID PORTER, and a history of the United
States navy in 1.-THE war of the rebellion,
as he called it.
Admiral PORTER came of family that
was prominent in the navy from the toun-
dation of our Government. He was an ex-
perienced sailor and had the reputation of
being stubborn fighter.
He was the instrument by which great
losses were inflicted upon the Confederacy
but he only did wha. he considered his
duty. We think of him now only as a
brave old sailor.
Across tho great gulf whence his spirit
has fed may he find a safe harbor.

Hon. Al u. H. stnart.

This great virginian Is dead. For more
than half q century he was towering
figure in many Of the public assenblage'
of this State, and IN the company OF the
greatest his mind DO less than his stature
made him noticeable.
In the legislative halls at Richmond and
Washington, In the Cabinet of Mr.. FILL
MOLE, in numerous other weighty trusts,
and, most memorably Of ali, as the chair
manaof the Committee OF Nine' which
plotted Virginia back into the Union' nc
rendered lasting public services.
His bearing was stately, his courtesy
hearty and high-bred. aud his considera-
ton for young men whom hs met in social,
political, or business life was something
very sweet to see.
Trained TO the law, he took high rank in
his profession, and though often called
mon 20 leave IL 20 do duty for the pubic
he always returned 10 it as the work OF his
life. He stood high as q lawyer, and the
bar may ever point to him as one VINO
happily illustrated the Hottest teachings OF
that noble profession
To the performance of every duty 70
which the favor of his people called him ne
gave ability, industry, earnestness, ana IN
questionable integrity.
His fame az a public speaker was wide
spread, and before age crept upon him few
could command better than he the atten-
ton OF an audience, whether the subject TO
be discussed was legal, political, historical
or educational. His experience IN public
affairs and extensive acquaintance with
noted men, added to the other resources OF
a highly cultured mind, gave him vast
wealth of information. Usually he spoke
with remarkable calmness, but there
we're moments. when the theme and the
occasion fitted, when his elOquence was
fiery.
He was ever respectful and even defe-
rental to those who opposed him in de-
bate, but when feebler weapons failed
when he was resenting an unjustitaole
dispersion upon his cause or upon himself
he could make his irony pierce the stoutest
armor and compel his antagonist to regret
that he had crossed the line Of decorous
debate.
Truly, Mr.. STUART was an able and good
man. He was proud of his State and OF
her past, and did much to rescue her re-
cords from destruction-and he was Educa-
toms steadfast friend.
The biographical sketch elsewhere pub
lished comes from member of our stan
who knew him we'll and who has gracefully
pictured those traits of character which
entitled Mr.. STUART to be called not only a
great man but true Christian.

The PRESIDENTS southern Tour.

Not to be outdone by Queen VICTORIA,
President HARRISON 10 to make a tour, not
of Southern Europe, but of the southern
and Pacific States of this Union. It is
given out semi-oficially that he will start
soon after the adjournment of Congress.
1t Will be one of those expeditions where
in business" will be combined with
pleasure"
The business will be TO get boon"
for q denomination. The pleasure will
be such success as he achieves in this re-
spect. II is important that something OF
this sort should be done without delay, es
the reciprocity treaty with Brazil is adding
no little 10 Mr.. BLAINE's phenomenal popu-
larity in his party. while Mr.. HARRIsoN has
no enthusiastic support from any quarter.
and will have TO fight hard to secure a re-
spectacle showing in the National Repubt
hean Convention.
We never hear il said anywhere that
MIR. HGRRIsoS is popular. His personal
newspaper organs make no such avermenti
There is no magnetism ABOUT him and he
suffers by comparison with Mr.. BLAINE.
Nevertheless, he has a good opinion OF
himself and eagerly aspires TO a second
term.
IL is not good policy for a Democrat to
discourage him. There is no Republican
who would make poorer run in the presl-
DENTAL race, and he himself some weeks
ago substantially declared that the force
bill was necessary 10 save him. As the
force bill is lost, he mus. be lost also.
whether the President means to como
through Richmond en- route South and West
is not known. Perhaps not. There are
other roads through the State which would
serve bis purpose as well. He cannot have
forgotten his visit TO Richmond year or
two ago when he returned civility with in-
ciyility, or q more recent incident--the Sc
quel OF the former when his name was
not included in the list Of distinguished
men asked to the Association ball.
II is impossible that any Of our people
should treat him with rudeness. and it is
equally impossible for him to create eny
enthusiasm amongst the whites.
II Mr.. HARRISON chooses suitable routes
he will be able 10 SEQ something OF the
great progress which Virginia and other
southern States are making, but while 1t
will not surprise him il will yet please him
little 10 know that our hope OF reaching
the fun measure Of success il centred upon
the adoption by the country of Demo
cratic measures and tho election OF q
Democratic President.
