ARETaING VICE.

Does 10 not seem extraordinary that II
takes so much effort to close mp infamous
resorts of vice ia this city? Here is the Gre
morne. where decency is aouted, vice Of the
most iJathsome kind is rampant, and the
young Of both sexes are educated IN the road
which leads to San Quentin; there Is no
question about these things; they are so no.
torious that Justices take official cOgniZance
of them; and yet when an effort is made TO
abate this nuisance in the center of the
leading th0r0ughfare of the city, all manner
of obstacles are encountered. The Police
Comm ssioners refused to issue license to
tie ill-famed resort Of vice. Bat II citizens
and real-estatc owners in the block where
the CremOrne is situated came forward and
signed petition to the Supervisors, begging
that the license Issue.
Seven Of these withdrew their names, I'M
der pressure from decent public sentiment.
The remaining fYa continue TO pray that
the Cremorne get its license. Happily they
are too few to override the veto Of the
Police Commissioners.
Is it not amazing that citizens Of standing
should parade as hackers If a resort so vile
that its infamies are unfit for publication
and are within the knowledge of all? Men
something to their fellow citizens and 10
public dCceney. They have children Of
their own, and they can appreciate the feel
iDgs of other parents who are trying to
abolish this breeding place of vice. 1t is
surely not fair or kind for them to stand in
tile way Of moral reform ard 10 lend the
support Of their names to a plague spot
which every year ruins given number Of
young people. That it should be necessary
to make such remark is one Of the strange
signs of the times.
This is rot a wild mining camp on the
outskirts Of civilization. 1t is a Christian,
orderly city, where the tone of society is
m oral and public habits are decent. San
Franciscans are not Puritanical but neither
are they Indifferent to the laws of good be-
havior. They propose that nothing in their
city shall shock visitors nor demoralize the
rising generation. I heir idea is that sueh
nests OF wee as it is impossible to destroy
altogether ought 20 be hidden from the pub
lie eye so that no one shall fiud them except
those who 90 in search Of them. The de-
graded creatures who make a living by
pandeTing to depTayed tastes insist that
that they shall not be Telegated 10 places of
CD security but that they shall be allowed to
carry on their horrible business in the lead
ing tHOroughfares, in the eye and under the
nostr.l Of young men and young women.
When an indignant public sentiment strives
to deny them this privilege and 10 drive
them into the holes - hich other vermin in
habit respectable citizens step forth 10
shield them ard to insist on their right TO
pollute the atmosphere when and where
they please. Is this fair to a decent COM
munity? What can strangers think of US
when they observe such behavior by those
70 whom the public ought to lock for
example?

COMING FROM CANADA.

The people, of Canada appear to lie an
neyiBg themselves to the United States in
larger numbers than ever before 1t is still
considered treason to talk about the annex
alton Of the territory, but the people prefer
TO leave their territory behind them TO re-
naming behind with it. The Canadian
Minister Of Customs is now in Washington
with a view to the arrangement Of some
kind Of a reciprocity treaty with the United
States. Speaking of this mission, Congress-
man Hit Of Illinois is reported as saying
that reciprocity now rests with Canada.
Congressman Hit has a recollection of hay
ing offered a resolution in favor of a CON-
mercial union with Canada in the House
on the last day Of the Cleveland admins
traton, and he seems 10 imagine that be-
cause there was DO opposition to it Canada
can have commercial union whenever she
wants it. Mr.. Hit says that no one can
doubt but that the abolition Of custom lines
between the two countries would have euor-
mOusly increased the prosperity of Canada
This may be admitted. But the question is
if it would increase the prosperity Of the
United States Mr.. Hit belongs TO the
party which advocates fiscal policy to
suit foreign nations, but he might give his
own country a second thought. In point of
fact the Hit resolution never was given a
moments consideration. 1t was regarded
as one Of the humors Of the closing hours
Of the session. 1t passed unanimously,
and an hour after Congress died. No at
tempt has been made to renew the resolu-
ton. 1t is precisely in the condition IL
would have been in if the resolution had
been unanimously rejected. There is no
considerable portion Of the American peo-
pie who believe commercial union between
Canada and the United States to be possible
while Canada remains province of Great
Britain

BLAINE RESIGNS.

The resignation Of MI Blaine VIII be &C
cepted as an announcement that he is an
aspirant for the Presidential nomination.
He held on TO the Office Of Secretary
Of State for months while unable to

hour unless about to engage in contest.
friendly or otherwise. with his political
superior. The movement is bold to audac-
ity Mir Blaine places himself in position
TO be defeated without positively improving
his chances Of success. BAD Mr.. Blaine re-
NAMED a member Of Harrison's Cabinet,
standing politically upon his ClRrkson letter,
be would not have been defeated had Rar-
rison been nominated. His resignation,
unless other reasons can be given for it
than tile natural one. places him among
open aspirants for the nomination. 1t can
not certainly be said that he has improved
his chances Of getting the nomination. So
long as he was pushed forward by his
friends he could not be held responsible for
any violation OF the spirit Of his Clark
son letter; nov he takes the field in
rersOn. The convention will comprehend
that If il should nominate him the people
would ask that an explanation be given OF
the ClaTkson letter. Why did Mr.. Blaine
declare himself not an aspiraut in February
and an aspiIant in June? The convention
will comprehend also that the Democrats
will make the most OF any real or seeming
conflict between the two declarations. They
will attack Blaine as bitterly in the event of
his becoming the Republican nominee as
they praised him extravagantly when the
Clarkson letter apparently removed him
from the contest. The real friends of Mr..
Blaine cannot throw any OF the response
bility upon his fool friends. Mr., Blaine
stands head and shoulders above the best
of them. They could not lead him at any
time when he did not wish to be led. Ii
Mr.. Blaine is nominated it is probable that
his immense popularity viii carry him
through. There is no other man like him
in the country at the present time. He has
a wonderful hold on the imagination of the
masses. There are more people who want
to see Blaine President than there are in
terested in the personal fortunes Of any
other public man.

Railroad, bound for a day of pleasure at
Camp Adams, Fairfax, where about 420
youths of the Boys Brigade are enjoying

the tug-Of-war between married and uu-
married commissioned officers, the former

THAT OPERATE PERFORMANCE

1t appears from the report of persons in
terested. that there was no profit in the re-
cent children's performance Of an operetta
entitled Columbus" at the opera-house.
We do not know that this is matter for re-
greet. If there had been profit in this one
others would have followed. We should
have had the last two months of every school
year frittered away in preparing for theatri-
cal or operate entertainments. II might be
a good plan to discipline some OF these
stage-struck principals and teachers. 1t
would be better to let them take their chance
of fortune on the stage or in writing plays,
than to allow them TO poison the minds Of
their pupils with desire for the stage. At
the ages of 12 to l6. children are not ex-
peeted to have much judgment. The law
wisely gives parents control of their actions
But in steps a school principal or school
