PRODUCTION VS.. SPECULATION.
San Francisco as She Is and Ought
to Be.
What Might Be Done IF Her Citizens
Encouraged Production Instead
of Speculation.

The boomer builds top-side down. His
motto seems to be Build the town, catch
the suckers, and let the hayseeds take
care Of themselves" He describes pos
sible or imaginary enterprises to initiate
values upon the basis of their realization.
When the writer saw trainload coming
in for every wneelbarrow-loadt that went
out from San Diego in 'S7, he thought
somebody was going to get hurt, and
pretty soon heard something drop.
When the boys used to catch big rat
IN the steel trap he squealed SO loud that
the rest left. Everytime man boasts of
how he got big price for some poor
piece OF land from a tenderfoot, think
of that rat, especially when I find that
the ten6ertoot goes back East TO do his
squealing, where it counts.
Almost every settler who comes to
California could be prosperously located
upon the basis of production, rather than
speculation. After all speculation is inn
practical, save as the outgrowth of pro-
ductlon. Take silver enough from Cali
fornia and Consolidated Virginia and you
have bonanza. Crowd the Palace Hotel
with guests and the best site for another
hotel rises in value. Shut the boys up in
y
them there long enough they will come
out starved and naked. One thinks of
swapping Jackets every time he passes
the corner of Montgomery and California
streets. They came flush and will go
broke. One in hundred may win, but
the cost of living must come out of the
pile, and for the many the result is as
certain as the law of gravity. If the citi-
zens of San Francisco would put money
in productive rather than speculative en-
terprises they need not sit in empty
stores and wall at others sins as sources
of their woes. There is nothing for irri-
cation bonds, immigration enterprises,
legitimate mines or opening foreign
markets, but millions for speculative
stocks, vacant lots that they hope the en-
terprise OF others may improve, or
massive buildings to gain tenants only at
the expense of others losses.
oh, San Francisco, queen city of the
sunset sea, sitting on your hundred hills,
washed by the rivers that drain an in
land empire, with your gates of gold open
to the commerce of the Orient; dry your
vain tears and put forth the strength of
your good right arm till the sunset shall
show a white-sailed sea and the sunrise
shall bring to you long trains, barges and
steamers bearing the products of busy
people happy in the luXuries brought
forth by Calitornia's genial climate, fer
tile soil and life-giving water! f. S. G.

OPPOSED 10 HARMONY.
The +" Reform" Democrats Said to
Have Agreed to Disagree.
A Stormy Meeting In Assessor Irvine's
Of1ice-The 'SRegulars' - Over
lures Were Rejected.

1t leaked out yesterday that the 're-
form" faction of the local Democratic
party had a star-chamber session the
evening previous in County Assessor r.
vines office.
And it is said to have been red-hot
meeting, too.
1t appears that quite large contingent
of the ''reformers'' wanted to harmonic
with the regulars" They argued that it
would be better for the interests of Dem
ocrats in general to acknowledge the au-
thority Of the regulars" and accept the
latter's terms, which were referred to as
being quite liberal. The regulars"
were willing, it was said, to place all of
the reform candidates, with possibly
one or two exceptions, on their ticket. 1t
was also argued that by fighting both fac
tions would lose in November, whereas
10y harmonizing there was chance to
win something. Then they could wait
until the succeeding election and capture
the organization of the party for the re
form" wing.
But this aid not go with the majority of
those present at the meeting, SO it is
said.
The harmony advocates were met with
the statement that the regulars were
loo anxious Tor fusion-which meant that
they were afraid to stand a test of votes
on the faction candidates in November;
that they were afraid of being showed
under" as one Of the reforners is said to
nave expressed il. More than this, a
resolution was offered to the effect that no
more conferences be held with the
regulars" unless by consent of the ''re-
1orm'' party as a body-and not by COM
mlttees. And the resolution was adopted.
There was some loud and bitter debat-
ing over the matter. and it is said that
some OF the reformers became quite per-
sonal IN their attacks, and that one talked
religion.
Finally the discussion drited to the
advisabiIity of proceeding with the work
OF completing the reform ticket. 1t was
finally decided that this could be better
done at another meeting. 1t is also said
That those present expressed some dis
satisfaction with one or two of the uomi-
nations on their own ticket, and in one
particular instance a committee of three
is said TO have been appointed with in
structions to select stronger candidate
Tor the office of City Justice than IL. q.

A Knowing Dog.

a family in Staten Island has a dog that
seems to show distinct reasoning
faculty. The dog had long been accus-
toned to take morning walk with a
member of the family. but was not per-
mitted to accompany his friend to church.
The animal soon seemed TO understand
that one day in seven he must remain at
home, and the conclusion was that he
could count. On Sunday morning, how
ever, the dog surprised everyone by
joining the family on the way to church.
The conclusion was that he had forgotten,
until it was called to mind that the church
bell had not rung that morning. The
dog had evidently associated the sound of
the bell with the fact that he was not to
accompany his companions as usual, and
when the bell did not ring he saw no rea-
son for emitting his usual walk.

Eddie Creamy, one of the cIeyerest anna

eight or ten set-tos between its own box

The fact that the City Board of Educa-

the Principals of the several schools,
may-and no doubt has-had much to do
with causing the presence of these dis

AN INTENSELY BLACK EYE.
Whiskey Trust Men Growing Over Uncle
Sam.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 13.-An in
tensely black eye given the government
by the decision of the United States Cir
cult Court, Judge Jackson, in the case of
L. H. Green, acting president of the
whiskey trust, is the theme of much
congratulation in whisl1ey circles here
today. The only one not glad is Treas
urer W. N. Hobart who, when he had
heard of the second Indictment, hurried
to court to give bond for his appearance
at Boston that he might not be disturbed
during the May festival. United States
Circuit Judge Kicks of Cleveland, who
had two similar caseses before him, had
prepared an opinion. Knowing that the
circuit court here had the same case to
hear he withheld his decision and came
here to listen to Judge Jackson's hear
ing. 1t turned out that they agreed ex-
actly. Judge Kicks telegraphed to
Cleveland to publish his opinion. United
States District Attorney Heron is still
absent. Until he returns, the final order
releasing Mr.. Green cannot be issued.

A Talk With Mr.. Hale.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Hale
is not alarmed over the report that ex-
Secretary Blaine intends to make fight
for his seat in the Senate, which becomes
vacant next March. He says that Mr..
Blaine's friends are his friends and his
friends are also the friends of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Blaine, he says, will not be candi-
date for the Senate, and he has no am
bition to come to Washington as Sena-
tor. Senator Hale, however, does not ad-
nit Mr.. Blaine has retired permanently
from public life. He thinks he may re-
turn to Washington next winter and that
he will always be central figure in
American politics. Mr.. Blaine is con-
templating writing another book relating
to some epoch in American history and
touching it with the brilliant word paint
ing which marked his ssTwenty Years of
Congress- Literary work is agreeable
to Mr.. Blaine and he enjoyed the prepar-
alton of his other work. Senator Hale
says that Mr.. Blaine would have accept
ed the nomination if he had obtained it,
but that he is satisfied with the result,
and will probably make few speeches
during the campaign.
