BENICIA IN DANGER.

The average Congressman is human. He
believes in furnishing his enemies and re-
wardlng his friends. Friends who 20 over
TO the enemy at critical moment are an
especial object of punishment Some con-
sideration will be given an open enemy, but
no penalty is too severe for the friend who
deserts his post on the eve of battle. An ex-
ample OF this determination to reward real
friends and chastise those who prove unre-
liable is furnished in the proposition TO
change the location of the proposed gun
foundry from Benicia to some point further
north. Senator Dolph has reported a bill
reopening tile question of site, which was
supposed to be practically settled by the re-
port OF the Army Board few weeks ago.
The conclusions of that board were so favor
able to Benicla that there seemed no ground
upon which a change could be urged. The
Army Board had examined all the sites sug
gested, and were clear in the opinion that
-Benlcia was the best. Probably that report
would have been considered as final if Sen
aI0rs Stanford and Stewart had not voted
with the Democrats to set aside the Election
Bill. The day after Mr.. Stanford's position
was definitely ascertained Senator Dolph
reported his amendment to the Fertilization
Bill authorizing the appointment of officers
to seleet new site for gun foundry. Cali
fornia does not seem to have anybody In
the Senate to look after its interests.

CHAUTAUQUANS.
Novel Entertainment of a Circle
at Willows.

The Chautauqua method is in high favor
among people living in small villages in the
interior of the State, and reports are fire.
quently received announcing the formation
of circles, which rapidly grow until thew
assume prominence which entities them
to recognition. There is a social feature
connected with the meetings which can
never fail to be appreciated, especially bv
people who are denied the advantages en-
joyed by residents of populous cities, where
entertainments of every description NAV be
participated in nightly. Frequently novel;
ties are introduced at the meetings which
render them particularly enjoyable.
Miss Kate E. johnson, Press Secretary of
the circle at Willows, Colusa County, writes
The CALL, giving an account of recent
gathering OF Chautauquans in that village.
The circle there numbers fifteen ladies' and
gentlemen, of which j. W. Kelsey is Pres
ident Mrs. Dora T. Purkett Vice-Pres
ident. and Miss Bickford Secretary. and a
keen interest is taken in the work and a
desire for self-improyement is manifested
by all. On the occasion mentioned the circle
assembled at the residence of W. K. PEN
dergriss and, after devotng the early hour
of the session to programme comprising
essays and readings and quotations from
oudhtopedTcs tiio clTcle resolved Itself into
debating society and discussed the cues
ton: Did the Good of the Country De-
mand the Death of Charles p" This por
ton of the exercises was followed by the
circle arranging itself to represent the House
of Commons. The members placed them
selves according to parties-the Liberals
and Union Liberals to the left of the Speak
er; further down on the same side the Irish
party; opposite the Irish party the Radicals
TO the right of the Speaker the Conserya-
uves. The Speaker of the House, Rev. ].
w. Kelsey, entered, preceded by the Ser
geant-at-Arms, Mrs. G. NJ. Parks, bearing
the mace. The House stood while the
Speaker took his seat. After preliminary
motions and questions the House proceeded
to the question of the day. resolved
that the eligibility of man tor pub
lie Office be independent of his moral
character" In the course of the discussion
Mrs. j. NJ. Silvey and Mrs. j. w. Kelsey
were expelled for supplementary conduct
The session was ended by aye and no vote
and the result being uncertain call was
made for division, and the members filed
out into the aye and no Hobbies to be counted.
Next in order on the programme for the
evening was the election OF officers, with the
result mentioned above Then followed the
report of the critic of the evening, Miss
Bickford, which caused considerable amuse-
ment and the circle adjourned.
The correspondent omitted an important
fact, namely the result of the vote on the
question under discussion. If the Willows
Chautauquans are like the majority of those
in this city the vote would surely be in the
affirmative

RIGHT OF WAY CONCEDED.

Mail-Wagons Stopped by the Police Con-
trary to Law.
During the progress along the streets of
the enormous procession on Admission day
considerable delay of the mails resulted by
the wagons being held in check by the surg
ing crowds, and the Sacramento-street one
was held for an hour by the policemen sta
toned at that point. This one was not re-
leased until the Postmaster had sent word
that 1t should be. The same thing occurred
at the ferry when the cortege escort
ing King Kalakaua's remains was ex-
pected TO arrive, and it was policeman who
held the wagon back, thereby delaying the
mails. These cases caused Postmaster
Backus to write to Chief OF Police Crowley
on the subject, asking that the police be in
structed to insure the right of way In all cir
cumstances to the United States mails.
Chief Crowley has responded that the DO
lice have been, and would again be, in

INTERESTING INFORMATION.

We publish in another column an article
in relation TO California affairs, which we
doubt not will prove interesting reading
70 the public generally. As unseemly as
it may appear, the buZZdrds are already at
work to secure the spells which will be
dropped in the event of the death Of Mr..
Hearst, who lies in an unconscious position
at Washington. We have no doubt what
ever of the statement of De Young's desire
to be foisted into the sick Senator's place by
The use Of railroad money, in the event of
tie dissolution Of the sick Senator. The
story is. however, but partially told in the
article which We copy from the columns of
a contemporary, so The CALL will give a
few more ,-Ortiealers-- De Young has first
aad last perhaps received from the railroad
company not less than half million dollars
in the way of what was probably regarded
BIZ him as division of the spoils which
have been obtained from the General Gov
ernment IN the way of subsidies. etc. What
Is more natural than for De Young, who
has only had a half million OF 81, while
Others have received tens OF millions, to a SIX
for 5 melting more? Before the reelection
Of Mr.. Stanford TO the Senate, De Young spoke
OF his desire to I'LL the place, but he said it
would require some $500, 600 10 purchase it,
ard as he thought others had more money
than he lad, he would give up the struggle.
It's now believed that person who has some
loose money which he is willing to put into
politics stands in De Young's way, and
possibly STAFFORD, being partially out of the
railroad management, is willing to stand off
De Young. Here is probably where De
Young made his mistake; but what was
more natural than for him to believe, as he
had obtained so much from the fees of the
company, he could obtain something more?
THE CALL is not particularly interested in
filling the place which may be made vacant
by the death of Senator Hearst, bat it hopes
in all sincerity that he may live and be able
TO fill out the balance of the term for which
he was elected. We do not like to see the
State further disgraced by the idea going
abroad that the position of United States
Senator can be purchased quite so cheaply.

CITY ENGINEER.
Sweeping Reductions in the Charges of
That Department.

Sweeping Reductions in the Charges of
That Department.
City and County Surveyor Tilton has out
lined the personnel of his Office for tbs ensu-
ing term by the appointment of the follow
ing deputies: julius II. Smith (who was
Chief Engineer under King Kalakaua for
four years., FL. n. Gates, n. King, George
II. Ferguson, a. II. Sanborn and f. j.
Morser. His collector will be W. w. Ma
.hewson.
When he accepted the nomin alton for
City ana County Surveyor Mr.. Tilton
pledged himself to reduce the exorbitant
and Ill many cases outrageous charges that
have been permitted in that Office under re-
cent administrations. In fulfillEent of that
pledge he has thrown off the usual SIS
charge for sewer specifications, SO that that
branch of projected sewer work will cost
nothing in future. On other sewer work
and block surveys reductions have been
made as follows: Surveys that formerly
cost S4S are now charged S33, $40 work is
reduced to SIS, and SIS work to $40. The
various reductions, therefore, range from

the Office to promote the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland. Had MI. Hill proposed to
contend for the nomination for President
he might have held the office of Governor
until the eve of Presidential nominations
and have had friend in the Senate. The
conclusion is, therefore. that Mr.. Hill will
let the Presidential nomination go to Mr.
Cleveland without contention. Whether
Mr.. Cleveland is elected or defeated in 1872
he will be out of Mr.. Hill's way in 1896
Under these conditions it is quite natural for
the friends of MI. Cleveland 10 create new
issues. They realize that the tariff issue is
dangerous for Mr.. Cleveland, and that the
silver issue with Cleveland as a candidate
would simply make the party ridiculous.

NOT SATISFIED.

The San Francisco paving ring is not en-
tlrely satisfied with the money which its
members have made under the Buckley
regime by causing stone-block payements
to be out of their reach by having a concrete
foundation laid, which the public can
never be sure of, although they pay for it.
Would it not be as well for the spectators
to keep quiet, and permit pavement affairs
to go back where they were prior to the
boss regime which manipulated them?

LOOKING AHEAD.

The comments of the New YORK papers
ON the election of Governor Hill to the
senate indicate a general belief that Mr.
Hill does not propose to be the Presidential
candidate in 1892. He has certainly put
himseli IN position which furnishes Mr..
olevelands friends with an argument
against the nomination of Mr. Hill. 1t is
understood IN New York that Lieutenant
1oFeIhor Jones is staunch and active
