..sAY1NG UNPLEASANT THINGS.

A writer in HaTper's Basar reflects re-
gretfully upon the satisfaction of certain
class of people who take great pleasure
in saying unpleasant things. They call
this speaking their minds" or 'plain
speaking" Such people we all know.
They are Doors, ill-bred, inconsiderate,
and insensible to the rights of others.
The true man and woman will not
needlessly cause pain to another. The
truth is not always to be spoken-that is
to say, a commission is not given to any
one to blurt out the truth without the
warrant of doing justice or correcting es-
sential error. 1t greatly more conduces
to our personal happiness if viii study
to speak gracious truths only, and leave
the ugly ones to necessity. There is no
supreme joy comparable to that of max
ing others happy. And this, fortunately

THE ELECTRICAL ROADS AGAIN,

In New York City last week an appli-
cation for an overhead wire or trolley
system of electrical railway over certain
streets was heard. The Subway Com
mission, with Mayor Grant, heard the
case. The opponents were street, park
and other commissioners. The applying
company presented a report from DR.. S.
s. Wheeler, the board expert, which
stated that the system was perfectly feas-
ible, and was in working operation
throughout the West and in adjoining
cities to New York, such as Boston and
Albany.
Mayor Grant said that he had visited
both the cities last named, for the purpose
of making thorough investigation, and
had returned home well satisfied with the
system. Local Improvement Commits
sioner Heintz, Arthur C. Butts and Chas.
s. Simpson opposed the innovation, bas-
ing their arguments on the unsightliness
of the poles and wires, apart from the
danger to life and limb, which might en-
sue from the use of the electrical current.
To these remarks the Mayor replied
that he had carefully examined the points
alluded to, and had witnessed the handling
of the wires by employees of the road,
who appeared to have no fear of any
serious results. He added that he had
seen the roads in actual operation and
was convinced that they involved no
danger greater than in ordinary carriage
of passengers. The matter was thorough
ly argued and unanimous consent given
for the construction of the line.
So, then, it appears that in the City of
New York in the residence districts they
are glad to have these roads put in oper-
alton, and the Mayor of the chief city of
the Union declares that they do not in
volve unusual danger. In the face of
such testimony, how can the Legislature
of California afford to refuse to the peo-
Pile who petition for and wish such roads,
the right to enjoy their benefits?

IT is said that England is scheming to
dominate in; Hawaii; that she wants
Pearl Harbor, which the reciprocity
treaty now secures to the United States,
and which is of highest value to us; that
England would be content to have Cam
ada dominate in Hawaii, and that neither
country will leave stone unturned to
accomplish these ends. We believe all
this, because it is natural and reasonable.
If we commit the folly of permitting
the Mckinley bill to cut the throat of our
interests in Hawaii we ought to pray for the
mountains to fall upon us. If the Ameri-
can people cut loose from reciprocity with
Hawaii, they will repent their error in
sackcloth and ashes. We do not believe
that such folly will be put against our
account. It cannot be that Congress will
deliberately sacrifice an immense and
expanding trade with the island king
dom and deliberately hand over to
another the finest naval station in the
Pacific

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Meas came out last evening in en-
larged form, having one column added to
each of its four pages. The paper has
been published only a little over month,
and Mr.. Drury has reason to congratulate
upon his success so far and upon
the liberal manner in which the people
of Sacramento have patronized his vent
ure. Outside of some inclination to vain
Boosting, the Meas is an excellent little
paper and merits the success it has met
with.

1T is understood that there is under
consideration in one of the legislative
committees scheme to transfer a por-
ton of the school fund to the general
fund, in effect, and thus conserve the
economic end of low tax rates the next
two years. It is claimed that while the
law provides for an output by the State of
but 81 per head for the school census
children, there is really collected $40 63.
This excess of So 60, comes from interest
on State bonds held in trust, interest on
the 500, 0O0-acre land grant, interest on the
sixteenth and thirty sixth section grant,
and money saved from the II per cent.
allowed by law for delinquencies and cost
of collection. Thus, say the friends of
the plan, nearly million OF dollars can
be transferred to general from specific
use, and no injury be done to the schools
while the relief will allow the Legislature
to make needed appropriations and still
keep within the fifty-cent limit. This
ANO~N''
whipping of the devil around the
stump. 1t will be taking from the schools,
funds the people carved out for school
purposes only, and thus it will be in vio-
lation of a sacred trust. 1t will be taking
that which the Legislature should never
touch; it will, moreover, be only pre-
tense OF economy. When the Republican
party pledged itself to fifty-cent limit,
1t made no reservations concerning
transfers of funds; it won the battle,
and its majority is in the saddle. 1t
cannot, therefore, go ON and spend
as much money as any Legislature ever
has, and save its bacon by taking
from a select fund enough to cover the
excess of expenditure against which
the people voted. Moreover, it is
feasible to cover all needs of existing
State institutions and provide for all pub
lie demands, the maintenance of every
branch OF the government, and to give all
assistance to worthy plans for the further
ance Of State interests, and still keep
within the fifty-cent limit. If the houses
make positive effort to do this it can be
accomplished. But of course it viii be
necessary to cut the Threats of host of
silly demands upon the Legislature, to
refuse to create seven-tenths of the new
positions proposed, and otherwise to wipe
off from the calendars of the houses,
good many hundred thousand dollars of
claims, and petitions for leave to open
the treasury spiggot.
