The University Extension Lectures.

The first of a course Of six lectures, on
The Queea Anne Period of English
Literature" was delivered last night by
Prof. Sy kes, Of Toronto, Canada, before
a large and intelligent audience in Nc
Dowell Hall. The subject of the lecture
was "The characteristics of the Queen
Anne Period of English Literature. I"
The lecturer divided his subject into
three parts /. The spirit that ANNA
ted the men of the age, giving substance
to their thought Prof. Sykes noted the
paramount importance attaching TO so
cial and political life as the special char
acteristics Of the age 2. The literary
traditions that held sway, z. -. form
to the expression of this spirit in litera
ture. Prof. Sykes In this 3,1|. d. III,
lecture dwelt more particular. ',.4.1'
reaction in literature from = q :. .5s
of the Reformation The e o
which the men of letters - thS ,.u.s
were affected by the spirit of 20 ss'+
the literary traditions into N,h;eS u
were born. Under this divisioa .ao
ture pictured the parents of the iaH
in London, where they gathered from
all points of Great Britain, They had a
unique place toward the political leaders
on one hand and the people on the other.
By virtue OF this position authors, in the
period become politicians. After the
lecture, which lasted about an hour, an
informal debate was held on the subject
for about ten minutes. In which some
members of the audience and the lecturer
took part. The lecture was not only en-
tertaining throughout, but highly in
structive, and affords our citizens a rare
opportunity Of cultivating knowledge
on English literature.

SENATOR HILL FOR SILVER.

There seems to be one Senator on the
Democratic side who does not "crook the
pregnant hinges of his knee" at the Presi-
Dental dictation. This is Senator Hill Of
New York. The courage Of this man 10
boarding the gold lion IN his den, with the
Pres dent standing guard over him, COM
peusates in measure for some of his
methods. Political courage is rare quail
ity. Men who would freely expose theif
lives in what they conceive to be good
cause become arrant towards where po-
litical oblivion is threatened. Mr.. Cleve.
land has taken Carlisle and Crisp into the
gold camp. He probably convinced them
that the Democratic party did not mean
what 1t said at Chicago. At all events
they are now counted on the gold side OF
the money question. Oher prominent
Democrats have turned to Cleveland as
the source Of wisdom instead OF the Demo-
cratic national platform. Senator Hill,
however, proposes to antagonize the
Presidents policy. Whether Mr.. Hill is
sufficiently a master OF the science of
finance to frame bill upon which the OPP
ponents of the gold standard can stand
remains to be seen. The task he has un-
dertnken is difficult one. The best
known fnanciers of the United States
and Europe are on the gold side. There
are but three or four really prominent
news papers In this country which openly
favor bimetalism. There is not one in
New York. Philadelphia. Boston or Chi
cago. In these four great cities the most
difficult problem now before the world is
discussed only from one point of view.

THE MIDWINTER FAIR.

The Midwinter Fair is not yet on solid
ground. Money is coming in, but too
slowly. The fair ought to be open in
January, and there are but five m tbs in
which to raise the bulk Of the money
needed and to erect buildings and devise
decorations. There may be time enough,
but there is not a day to lose. The money
necessary TO warrant a commencement
should be in the hands Of the finance
committee before Saturday night.
The business side of the question does
not require much argument. Leaving out
Of consideration the wild estim ates that
havs been made concerning the number of
visitors 1t will attract, it is safe to assert
that there is about 100000 in it for this
city. If there is no fair from 5000 to 5000
psopls may yet 70 to Chicago. The State
would thus be drained of not far from
ST. 100000. If the fair promises well
the greater part OF these Intended
Worlds Fair visitors will be content
with the home show. If the fsir is held
even with oDe-half of the exhibits tn at
havo been talked about, there will be two
or thrss thousand people connected with
the business of the fair in town six
months. There will be q large expend-
iture on this account alone. But, perhaps,
the greatest commercial advantage of the
fair will be the thousands Of Californians
who will spend some weeks in the city
aurug the fair, however. Many Of our
young people have never seen the city Of
San Francisco. It Is to them much like
New York. Boston. or Chicago. or other
cities they have heard and read of. A few
days in town will attach them to the place.
They will form acquaintancss here which
will survive the occasion. Many of the In
terror residents have friends in San Fran
cisco whom they have never seen. The
fair will be the means of bringing State
and city closer together. A better feeling
will exist In consequence of better acquaint.
ance. These and msnv other things
should be considered by our people. There
is time enough yet to make the fair all 1t
has been pictured to be.

THE GOVERNMENT AND MONEY.

Congressman Mcguire is reported as say
ing: "The Government should never ill.,
terfere with the peoples exchanges or
with the media Of exchange. The only
function of the Government should be to
stamp on gold and silver the weight and
fnsness of each"
Under Mr.. Maguire's theory of finance
there would be no lega! tenders. There
would De some kind of an agreement as to
the relative value Of the coin thus STAN ped,
but there would be no kind OF money the
tender of which would be held judcialy
to De payment Of debt. But this plan
would bring silver into circulation at the
value the public might place upon it. The
greater use of silver under this plan would
tend to increase its commercial value. The
natural value Of each coin would be ex-
pressed On its face, though there would be
no means OF enforcing its recognition at
that value. II We should apply this sys-
TEN to the United States the final result
would be flood OF silver coin. The rel
alive value of the dollar of the two metals
would be determined by the law of demand
and supply. II silver can be produced
more cheaply than gold in its present ratio
the silver dollar would be at discount
The gold dollar would have, however, an
artificial advantage in the fact that it is the
stipulated medium in which, all promises
to pay, OF whatever character, are to be
maid

HOKE SMITHS MISTAKE.

The physically robust gentleman Mr..
Cleveland selected to take charge Of the
Interior Department has been burned in
effigy in a small town In Ohio. Mr.. Smith
went into offire with the avowed purpose
OF restoring to the public domain lands
which certain railroads had forfeited. and
In consequence he became at once the m ost
popular member of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabi-
net Whether his popularity was duo to
the fact that he was the least known Of all
of Mr. Cleveland's official family may be a
question. but 1t is fair to give Mr.. Smith the
benefit of the doubt. But when Mr.. Smith
had restored all the forfeited land that
was in sight he concluded to try his re-
forming hand on the pension list. Instead
OF making careful examination of the
list and striking off such names as he
found to be fraudulent. Mr.. Smith con-
ceivcd the brilliant idea of suspending
pensioners in groups or classes and calling
upon them to prove their titles clear. not
to mansions in the SKIES, but to place on
the pension list. The plan promised well.

rather than submit their claims to hostile
examination the national treasury would

among the suspended pensioners was one
from a small town in Ohio who had seen
four yesrs and five months Of active ser
vice. When the pensioner discovered that
his name was struck off the list he became
a raying maniac. The blow was too much
for him. He was about so years OF age and
not so stropg as be had been. The people

IN CAST-IRON JACKETS.
New Plan for Making Piles Inn
peryiouS to the TeredO.

A new plan for creai ing indestructible
piles for wharf foundations has been in
troduced at the United S ates quarantine
station now building at Port Townsend.
The specifications require that each pile
be incased in east-irOn jacket one and a
quarter inches thick and at least fourteen
inches in diameter. These cylinders are
now being cast at the Port Townsend Nail
Works.
The plan is to drive the plies, and then
slip the jackets over them. filling up the
space with cement. The theory is that
there will be no end to the service of the
piles so constructed. 1t is believed that
the cement will eventually become so
hardened as to resist the wear of the ele-
ments aud tile boringS of the t0redo, even
when the iron is worn away.
OF course, the Government can afford
to try this costly experiment; but it may
not be long before private wharves are
similarly constructed should this one turn
out as durable as the engineers expect.

TWO FOR ONE.

The paid admissions to the Worlds Fair
q week ago Monday numbered 79,43S and
the free passes 39.750. The exhibitors and
employees were on that day equal to about
one-half the paying visitors. With one
attendant to two visitors i. is not surpri.-
ing that there should be complaints of bad
management. But the fault is largely
that of design. The fair was planned on
the assumption that there would be an
average of 200, 900 daily visitors. 1t is only
on occasional days that the attendance has
approached this point, but the manage
ment are still hopeful that it may. Conse-
quently the ship is kept fully manned,
somewhat to the dismay Of the stock.
