A Princess in Helena.

In one of the sections of a Pullman pal
ace car of a train approaching Helena q day
or two ago. teclined the form of a youthful
looking parsonage who excited no little
curiosity. An Indian princess. it was evil
dent by her rather novel appearance. A
small and richly embroidered sanoalp eeped
from beneath a scarlet robe that was elab-
orately decorated with elk teeth and pol
ished agate. A singular looking bodice.
the material of which seemed to be q pelt,
the heavy fur resembling q Siberian squir-
rel or perhaps q Russian sable. The fit
was perfection and looked as though some
Partisan modesto had directed the finishing.
The head dress of huge quilts. the tail
feathers of a south American condor, gave
the little princess almost a grotesque APP
pearance.
The oval face, the dark eyes and the olive
complexion were in harmony with her gen.
o al appea ance. The slight accent indi-
Gated the Arapohoe dialect. Report said a
granddaughter of the great chieftaln
lecumseh, while her stateliness reminded
her companions of Longfellow's Hiawatha.
She seemed quite indifferent and con-
tented under the scrutinizing gaze of her
new made acquaintances, and in answer to
their inquiry az to her movements stated,
II am going to Helena to p,epa,e myself
for Il visit to Chicago as l have accepted an
invitation from the authorities to be with

THE NoN-PARTIs ANS.

The only embarrassment which attended
the proceedings Of the Non-Partisan con-
Yention Thursday evening was in having in
some cases 10 choose between able and un-
exceptionable men. This was especially the
case in voting for the candidate for Mayor.
Mr.. Ebert has had four years experience as
Supervisor, and is familiar with every
b00dng project that has been sprung upon
tie people. He has shown remarkable judg-
ment in discriminating between enterprises
which were designed for the public benefit
and those which would only promote the
interests Of individuals. He has in all
cases shown the courage Of his con victioDs.
In the first board IN which he served be
stood alone politically, and was sometimes
laughed at for his unaYailing resistance
10 the Solid Ten. But he kept on. all the
same and now is chosen By body which
for character and intelligence has not re-
Gently been surpassed in this city as its
candidate for the highest Office in their
gift. What has become Of his Doodle asso-
clates need not at this time be recorded.
Considering all the circumstances, the other
candidates need not be displeased at bis
success. In some cases the selection of
candidates for Supervisors was made be-
tween about equally fit men. OF course,
but one OF the two could be nominated. II
the ticket is completed in the spirit and
with the judgment that has been so far
manifested, the people will have no right to
complain Of bad government for the next
two years If they do not elect it.
The morning call., 1892-09-10
AGAINST THE CONFERENCE.

London dispatch says that both Glad
stone and Harcourt, the new Chancellor of
the Exchequer. are opposed to any change
in England's currency. They are averse to
any discussion on The part Of the inter-
national monetary conference of any propo-
sition affecting the currency of the British
Empire. If anything needs to be done to
relieve the strain of the monetary system of
India. it should be done without conference
or agreement with the United States.
This not good news for the friends of
bimetallism in this country. One result of
the opposition of the British Ministry to
the purposes of the conference will be the
suspension of silver coinage in India. That
dependency of the British crown cannot long
continue on the silver basis with silver at a
discount of so per cent unless there is a
hope that the British Government will do
something to restore silver to its former
commercial ratio to gold. If this news
from London is true, the international con-
ference will be confronted with PROPOSE
ton to fix common ratio tor gold and
silver. while England and her commercial
allies remain on single gold standard. 1t
is matter OF much doubt if the conference
will seriously entertain the proposition.
The vast national debts of the several Euro.
pean countries are influences against any
change in the currency which may cause a
decrease in the purchasing power of money.
Except in France the national bonds are
largely held by the class who live upon fixed
incomes. To all such 1t is a matter of some
Importance that the gold standard be main-
tanned.
1t is understood that plan will be sub
mitted to the conference by DIR. Adolph
Soetbeer Of Vienna for the extension of the
use of silver as money without making it
full partner with gold as a measure of
values. Dr. Soetbeer's plan is to retain the
gold standard and to coin silver at a ratio of
twenty to one, to be legal tender among
individuals and corporations only ND to the
weight OF 1854 grains troy-abOut SO Al OF
our money-but receivable by the govern
ments concerned TO an unlimited amount
The plan may have some merit as stay TO
the decline of silver. but will receive little
support from the advocates Of bimetalllsm.
1t recognizes gold as the true measure of
value. a point which bimetallists most stren-
uously combat. The silver problem will
not be settled until silver Is recognized as
the equal of gold upon some agreed ratio.
1t is Of less Importance what that ratio may
be than that 1t should be universally ac-
cepted.

THE ODDS AGAINST Us.

An indignant contemporary says that
there ought to be some law somewhere by
which such raids as the State Board of
Equalization is making on the city should
be checked. Our contemporary adds:
when it (the State Board was compiling
assessments that the railroad did not like
that corporation refused to paw, and toak
the matter into court. where it gained some
advantages" The railroad gained such adj
vantages that the tax remains unpaid to
this Gay. But the cases were not parallel.
The railroad company attends 10 the cleo
ton Of officials who may sit on its cases.
while the voters Of San Francisco do not.
They let the railroad put up two sets Of
candidates. and the voters vote one set or
the other set into Office. 1t does not usually
make much difference to the railroad which
set is elected. Being thus fortified, it can
carry its cases into court without much
doubt as to results. Some of these days il
is hoped that the voters will have more in
fnence with themselves. They will take
care that the courts they establish and
maintain are not made a means of oppres-
sion. The time may come when the people
will take case into their own courts with
an even show of winning when both law
and equities are on their side. But there
must be great changes before that day
comes

ADMISSION DAY In THE CITY.
The Way II Was Observed by the Peopl
of San Francisco.

The Way II Was Observed by the People
of San Francisco.
Hundreds of Am erican flags floated from
fagstaffs in various parts Of the city yester-
day.
The American colors were displayed from
hundreds Of ships in the harbor.
Small flags. but the stars and stripes just
the same. decorated the streetcars Of the
various lines.
And all this because it was Admission
day. which by law has been made legal
holiday.
Being dies non, the courts were adj
and nearly all the wholesale stores were
closed, but many OF the retail stores were
kept open just as If 1t had not been legal
holiday.
Early in the morning the streetcaEs going
toward the ferry were crowded to their
utmost capacity by those who were on pleas
ure bent and bound fol- points outside the
city.
There were hundreds who went to Pet
aluma TO attend the Foresters' picnic;
others who were bound for Santa Rosa to
see how the native sons and daughters en-
to enjoy the day with the pioneers at I'll
Campo. and many who crossed on The fer
res just to get into the country.
Then there were those who later on In the
day went to the water front to watch the
yacht race, and others who went to Golden
Gate Park
Everybody who could left home for an eX-
cursion or pleasure. and lonely indeed were
those who were forced 10 remain In stores or
Indoors.
One of the pleasant outings is that of
Stanford Parlor, n. S. G. W., which went to
Cazadero. pretty resort on Austin Creek,
in SoDoma County, within an easy and
pleasant walk OF a redwood forest. The
members of the parlor and their friends
will hold high jnks there, and will remain
until tomorrow evening.

NO MONEY 10 THROW AWAY.

Mr.. Max Pepper is reported to have said
that the Democrats have no money TO throw
away on newspapers as on former 0cca-
sions. This is bad for the Stock Report
That sheet has lived the last three or four
years on official advertising. but the present
Board of Supervisors have advertised for
bids on plan which will greatly reduce the
profit of the work if the Report should get
it. AS that sheet has no circulation to
speak Of. and as its advertising columns are
useful only TO itself in vain attempt to get
new subscribers by Offering premiums in the
form of two-bit amusement tickets, il hopes
to hold on for a while longer, but the chances
are slight since the plum has been taken out
of the pudding. If the Stock Report gets
the printing again it viii have to do the
work at fair price.

LACKING ENTERPRISE.

"Our merchants have no enterprise; every
man for himself" says, in effect. Mr. Hunt
ington of the Central and Southern Pacific
railroad companies, We are told that our
city can never come to anything. 1t Is
not exactly the old Goat Island struggle
over again, when we were assured that we
were on the wrong side of the bay. Now
the railroad company briggs freight from
China and Japan or from almost anywhere,
even up ana down the coast and delivers
it to individuals all the way TO New York
City for less price than they will take it
from San Francisco or from any interior
town. Such is the rail service which Cali
fornia obtains from men whom she has
enriched to an inordiuate amount. Pleasant.
is it not to be told we have no enterprise?

Over In Nevada IL is proposed TO protect
the coyote because IL Is destructive Of field
mice and other small pests of the agri-

California paying bounty for coyote scalps

the latter, an Interstate industry might be
built up to which the San Jose squirrel tail
enterprise would be as nothing.
Three men OF Grass Valley have decided
not 10 vote because they do not understand

idea OF man not voting when no has a
right to vote and that Is the idea that The
question OF conscience can enter into the
matter.
