LET the people turn out tomorrow by
the ten thousands and welcome the Pres
ident. Welcome him as a worthy man in
whom the people have reposed implicit
confidence, but more heartily and JOY
ously because he represents principle.
AS the custodian of an Office than which
there is none loftier, he is the representa-
tive of the triumph of republican institu-
tions; of the capacity of the people for
elf-government. He comes as the repre-
sentative of the progressive spirit of the
age, in which individuality is given full
est opportunity and honorable ambition
and worthy aspiration have free field,
regardless of birth, the accident Of for
tune or the volume of wealth. The Pres
ident is not the President of party but of
the whole people, the Chief Magistrate
over siXty-three million free men, wo-
men and children; the head of an indisso-
luble union of Sovereign States. AS such
he should be hailed joyously in the Capt.
tai City Of California, with heartiness
that will never be lost to memory and
that will testify to the sincerity of our
love for the institutions that make such
an office as he fills, possible.

much as they would ragmuffins. To rise
from the ranks is out of the question, so
that the officer has no fear that he will
ever be called upon to recognize the pri-
vate as social equal. The private knows
that his chance of bettering his condition
lies only outside of the service and hence
he fears, but does not respect his officer.
These conditions more strictly apply to
the Brigade of Guards and the Rifiemen.
The Highlanders, Queens Guards, etc.,
are TO be wholly excluded from the criti-
cism, while most of the Irish troops are
independent and command degree of
respect.
Compared with the French and Ameri-
can soldiers, and especially with the
German, the British soldier classes re-
ferred to are in disgrace. That any group
of them should drum up sufficient
spirit to protest against cruel drill and
too severe discipline would be really
surprising. Not less astonishing, how
ever, is the policy of England regarding
her enlistments. So careful in the selec-
ton of blue jackets, it is unexplainable
why she should fill any Of her red coat
uniforms from the dregs of society and
the back streets of the great cities.

RECEIVING THE PRESIDENT.

Thus far the details for receiving the
President tomorrow have well pro-
gressed, and the arrangements been made
with good Judgment. But unless it has
? been privately arranged, since no public
;. announcement of it is made, there is
likely to be grave omission. That is,
there appears to be no allotted time to
drive the party through the residence
section. The San Jose Committee made
that q feature of their reception.
We protest that the people of Sacra-
mento want these visitors to go away
with a different idea of the city than
they. can possibly gain by drive up
street to Seventh, to NJ, and thence to the
Capitol. Let US see. The President is
prompt man. All along his route he has
been ION hand" to the minute When
he has said "Move at o'clock" he was
ready at 7:55, and moved at s, not five
minutes after. If it takes half an hour to
reach the Capitol, which it should not, and
three-quarters of an hour are consumed
by the review there ought to be half an
hour given to drive, say, up n street, to
Eighteenth, to II, and in the section
down TO Tenth, and thence back to the
depot.
IF the wishes of the people could be ex-
pressed by vote, nine out of ten would
say that they prefer to have President
Harrison and his party see Sacramento's
beautiful homes to having him remain at
the Capitol the whole time he is here.
The residence section of our city is what
we have reason to be proud of; it is due
TO our guest to show him the best; if his
wish is consulted, he will be greatly more
pleased to look upon the homes of Sacra-
mento than to pose before the multitude
the whole two hours he is here.
We might just as well recognize the
truth, of which every tourist tells US who
comes here, and which all those who
write of us put into their books: 1.-THE
residence section of Sacramentois is lovely;
delight to eye and judgment and taste !;
the business section is a sad contrast, dis
appointing, and gives visitors most un-
favorable impression of the city and the
people"

THE REVOLT OF THE GRENADIER
GUARDS.

The New York Tribune thinks it ought
not to occasion surprise that for the sec
ond time a revolt has occurred in the
Third Battalion of the Grenadier Guards
in London, when it is recalled that the
guardsman Of that class below the rank
of a commissioned officer occupies a serv-
lie position, and that his uniform is a
badge of menial servitude But, assum-
ing the T1T6une'S premises to be correct,
that to us seems the very best of reasons
for surprise. Rebels do not spring from
the slums, as rule. 1t requires men of
some mettle and individuality to revolt.
But is not the I5,i6une mistaken as to the
Grenadier Guards? They constitute the
flower of the army, as we understand it;
are picked men in stature and character,
and are not recruited from the slums.
There are, however, English soldiers
who are of class TO which our contem-
porary's remarks will apply.
The soldier of the grade referred to,
and of which there are many regiments
in the English army, cannot, as the T516-
Ily'e says, ride in first-class railway car
riaGe; he is kept out of the boxes and
orchestra, parquet and general sittfngs of
shs theaters and relegated to the loftiest
galleries. He is forbidden first-class res
taurants and hotels and reading rooms.
In short the red coat without epaulettes
in England in some regiments is
well nigh a badge of disgrace, and when
ever the soldier can lay aside his uniform
and pose a few hours in civilian garb he
considers it great event and the attain
ment of lofty desire. One reason for
this is that the privates are recruited from
the elowest social levels in such commands,
and consequently the officers and the
people despise them, treating them much
as we do the ex-convict and the output of
the Barbary Coasts of our cities.
There is nothing done after the man
enters the corps to lift him up and en-
courage his manliness, or inspire self-re-
spect and laudable ambition. 1t is not to
be wondered at that officers drill such
men with severity and treat them very

fuses to receive him as Minister from the
United States. China has the right to so
refuse, and it is not deemed offensive ac-
ton where the reasons are personal. But
it is said the objections to Mr.. Blair are
his pronounced friendliness to the Chi
nese exclusion policy. If SO, then no
man in harmony with the Administra-
ton can be named to whom China might
not with as good reason object. The
truth is, in the Senate Mr.. Blair pro-
tested against the Scott bill because time
sufficient had not been given in which to
hear from the Chinese Government con-
corning the then pending treaty. He was
indeed championing the right and ought
to have kindly consideration from China
for the courage he displayed in favor of
fair play.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR LIE CoNTE,

DEATH OF PROFESSOR LIE CONTE,
Blythe death of Professor John Lee Conte,
ofthe Faculty ofthe State University, that
institution has lost one of its oldest
friends and brightest lights, and educa-
ton and science have been deprived of q
foremost man and master mind He
had reached an advanced age, it is true,
but so clear were his mental faculties, so
vigorous his intellectual powers, that it
had been believed he was good for a de-
cade more of service to the cause of
higher education.
He came from line of French Hugue-
nots on his fathers side, and from Puri-
tans on his mothers. His father was
scientist before him, and attained some
eminence as a naturalist. Professor LIE
Conte was graduated from the University
Of Georgia with high honors in 1888. He
then took up the study of medicine, and
won his degree in 1871 from the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, New York. He
began practice in Savannah, but in 1916
accepted the chair of Natural Philosophy
i'll Franklin College. This position he
held up to 1856, when he accepted the po-
sition of lecturer on chemistry in the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons of
New York, his medical alma mater. In
year thereafter he was called to the
higher chair of Natural and Mechanical
Philosophy at Columbia, S. c., and that
position he occupied for ten years, when
he was advanced to the chair of Natural
and Mechanical Philosophy and Astron-
omy.
In 1869 he came to the University Of
California to fill the chair of Physics and
Industrial Mechanics. He was then with
the university in its infancy, and one of
its organizers, and he lived to see it grow
to its present splendid proportions, which
to him must have been a source of inf
mite pride. He was the first President OF
the University after a Board of Regents
was created, and the State assumed con-
troll. He held the office but year, not
accepting it as a permanency. Six years
later he again consented to serve as act
ing President for time, and in 1876 he
was elected full President, but resigned
soon after, prefering his position as one
of the teaching Faculty.
He was many-sided man, and his con-
tributions to literature, science and to
human knowledge generally, together
with his splendid service of twenty-one
years and more in the university, consti-
tute an imperishable monument to his
genius, and his devotion to the cause OF
education.

THE Eighteenth National Conference
of Charities and Correction is to be held
at indianapolis the second week in May.
It is very much to be regretted that Cali
fornia cannot be officially represented at
that important gathering. The late Leg
islature declined to create charities and
correction board for this State, though
nearly all the other States employ such
an agency as an economic means. If we
had at the indianapolis conference an
official representative, he would return
well informed concerning the operations
of similar boards, and be prepared to adj
wise this State to its gain. The bill that
died on the calendar of our Legislature
was a very modest one. 1t did not go
oue-half as deep into the business" of
charity-dispensation inquisition as is
authorized in most of the States. The
chief opposition to the measure came
from the church. It does not wish to
submit the methods of institutional econ
have the charities it supervises, and for
which the State footS about half the bill
for maintenance, inquired into. That very
fact ought to have prompted the Legisla-
ture to pass the bill, it being evidence
that such a board as was proposed is
needed. Outside of inquiry and report,
/, o,.l u l.
tive in ascertaining just what crime costs
the State, where the leakage is, if any, in
disposition of charity funds supplied by
the State; whether we are giving too
much or too little, and whether the dis
tribution of aid is fair between the char
ity institutions. We should have some
thing practical from such a board con-
cerning prison labor, outdoor relief and
its relation TO political corruption, the
creation and heredity of pauperism; the
child problem in cities; the custodial
care of adult idiots; penal and reforma-
tory institutions, etc. But good deal
can be done in the direction of educating
public sentiment for second attempt to
establish a State board if the press will
publish the better debates and papers be-
fore the National Conference. Two of
the leading papers of Indianapolis are to
print the reports made, papers read, and
the debates had, very nearly in full, and
extracts from these upon the economical
questions to be considered will go far
towards properly molding public thought
in California, so that the next Legislature
viii be likely to pass the desired bill in
response to public demand.
