really no style at all, since style implies
system, and the Mission buildings were
devoid of anything like system. They
were simply inartistic groups Of low
structures Of sun-baked mud walls,
crowned by coarse, rudely tiled roofs,
and pillared by hewn logs only to sup
port the brittle adobe bricks surmount-
ing the openings. In the rude belfries,
little more than squares Of posts rooted
in, hung bells girded to ruder hangings,
with rawhide lashings. And these, with
gray mud walls cribbing narrow grounds,
approached through huge, formidable,
defensive gates, constituted the Mission
buildings, suggestive of nothing but the
poor necessity Of the time, the uninventive
and uncultured taste of the people.
Now why should this, the lowest order
of building known to the coast, be
taken as typical of the State? If Cali
fornia is to have building at the Column
bian Exposition let it represent not the
somber period of the lifeless days when
priests ruled and the sluggish Indian
served, and the ambition of the whole
population did not rise beyond the aim
Of braiding lariat or the comfort of an
afternoon siesta beneath the shade. Let
us have building that shall speak of our
achievement, Of the force and vigor that
has lifted us UP out of the BULBS hide and
adobe brick period Of lazy existence and
made the young State chief among the
giants of progress and civilization. In
all that is fairest, aspiring, ambitious,
courageous and beautiful, capable of ex-
preston in architecture, let the building
speak for California as she is, the home of
a progressive people who have turned
their backs upon Mission types of civili-
zatiOn, and have set their faces toward the
ever broadening horizon Of future full
of glowing promise.
Let our building, to the extent of the
cost permissible, speak from its base to
| the apex Of its towers, of California re-
deemed from the Mission type. We do
not want the stranger world to come to
! Chicago and view as typical of California
a structure that speaks of period that
we have forever put behind u.s. We do
not want the impression to be made even
in the slightest degree that California of
to-day is related otherwise than tradi-
tiOnally to the era Of the Mission and the
sloth and abandon of the lazy savage and
the unthrift Of the scarcely more aspiring
Mexican Of that period.
Above all the idea should not be sug-
gested by any type of building of the
Mission order that it is representative OF
California of the present. We submit
that the masses will be apt to view the
Mission style of structure as typical OF
the States present, since outside the
| coast region, unfortunate though it may
be, small minority only is informed OF
California's historical past, while the great
mass Of people have but faint conception
of the truth that the Mission type is pre-
cisely the opposite in every respect re-
lating to civilization, production, energy
and thrift, of the California Of to-day.
The record-union., 1891-06-26
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING.

The California Worlds Fair Commits
sion announces that all the plans sub
mitted for California building at the
exposition have been rejected because
they did not propose building typical
of the State" 1t is added that Mr.. Burn
ham viii submit, and that the commits
sion viii probably adopt, a plan for a
building of ''the Mission type" We
must therefore conclude that the COM
mission holds the Mission style to be typi-
cad Of California.
Against such judgment the RECORD
UNION enters its protest. Why of the
Mission type? What of California
does it represent? The dead past,
and that only. 1t stands for the half-dead
and half-aliye period of California when
f. unprogressive priests were the architects
and the lazy savages of the valleys were
the builders. 1t is typical of the very
lowest phase of the building art, but one

the sod wigwam of tho Indian. It is

a. Il. HATCH.

IF anyone supposes that the present
shower of vilification, mud-slinging
and abuse upon A. r. Hatch, the distin-
guished fruit-grower of Solano, is having
any other effect on that individual than
to lend pleasing variety to his every
day experiences, they do not know Mr..
Hatch. If there is any citizen of Califor-
mia who may be credited with having
created the fruit industry, Mr.. Hatch is
entitled to that distinction. If there is
within the borders of the State d more
enterprising, honorable or upright man
than a. 7. Hatch, we should feel hon
ored with his acquaintanceship.
One Maxwell at Los Angeles secured
the nomination to the Office of Chief OF
the Horticultural Department. We said
Maxwell was without qualification for
the office, and his appointment was in
the line of that series of outrages which
place-hunters continually perpetrate
upon communities. Mr.. Maxwell was
very properly defeated for the office to
which he aspired, and very largely
| through the activity, courage and manIi-
ness of A. II. Hatch. The hackers oi
Maxwell predicted that it was Maxwell
or nothing, and they are now making
their prediction good by seeking to Sc
cure the appointment and the confrma-
ton of Colonel William Forsythe. The
achievement of this result will completely
fulfill the vaunted prediction of MAX
well or nothing.'
Mr.. Hatch saw fit to oppose the con-
firmation of Forsythe for the reasons
which he alleged. We have said hereto
fore that we did not believe in any assault
upon personal character in conducting
this controversy. MaxwelPs notorious
unfitness justified our opposition to his
confirmation, but we had nothing to say
Of his private life or his private charac-
ter. He is not a parsonage of such con-
siderable parts as to justify any inquiry
on that head. That he was notoriously
unfit for the position he sought TO fill was
matter of public concern. His achieve
ments are not such as viii attract the at.
tention of biographical writer's, and his
private life is perhaps SO tame and unin-
teresting as not to challenge inquiry. II
brief we do not care straw for the pri.
yate record of either Mr.. Maxwell OF
Colonel Forsythe, but we do care as tt
they or any one else are disqualified by
reason of the absence of experience OF
ability for the place they seek to fill, we
shall unhesitatingly oppose their aspira
tions. This is the province of a public
journal, but no public journal enjoys /;

exercise this right daily. And it belongs
! equally to the private citizen. Mr.. Hatcl
has exercised his personal right to influ
ence public affairs TO the extent of hi!
wishes, desires or ability. He is beinl
vilified, abused and criticised for the ex
ercise of this right. The whole pack o
disappointed aspirants who went dowl
with Maxwell are in full cry at his heels
! They will neither intimidate him no
secure his removal from the position h
holds at the hands of the Governor of thi
State. His selection to the position t
which he has been appointed was mos

THE Philadelphia Record, which, in
dorses the English Canadian position,
and sneers at the claims of the United
States in Behring Sea, says:
The agreement as to close season OF one
year for the seals in Behring Sea is binding OF
course, only upon the Governments of the
United States and of Great Britain. Should
vessels bearing the Russian, German or
French flags enter the sea TO catch seals they
would not be liable to seizure
This is a mistake that vessels under
those flags would speedily discover, if
they attempted to take fur seals. The
Presidents proclamation, issued by COM
mand of Congress, warns all persons
whomsoever to desist from taking seals
unlawfully, that is to say, in contraven-
ton of the laws of the United States,
which not only asserts jurisdiction in the
sea, but has thus far maintained it.
