THEY WANT WORK.

A number Of respectable and intelligent
young women demonstrated their eager
ness to work by flocking in large numbers
to the wool warehouse on Townsend
street and offering to do any work that
might be offered them. 1t is said that
about fifty OF these girls were given an
opportunity to earn one dollar a day
Those who were chosen were looked upon
as the lucky ones. The prize was not
great. but they had drawn it.
There is fGOd for thought and motive
for enterprise in this action on the part OF
the girls The questions have often been
asked-"What shall we do with our boys 2"
ard "What shall we do with our girls ."
as if there were a surplus Of either. But
there is no such surplus. It is the fault of
the generation on the stage if there is a
lack of room for the rising generation.
When the School Census Marshal goes out
to count the children the community is
pleased II he finds an increase over the
number recorded the previous year. The
growth of the school census list is consid-
cred good evidence of local prosperity.
The surplus of children is never CON-
planned of until they begin TO push their
s.
long as the child is consumer he or she is
an element of prosperity. but the moment
they show a disposition to be useful we
ask, What are we to do with them?'
1t is part Of national and local politics
to find work for the rising generation.
They are not responsible for existing con.
ditiOns. If We have pursued a policy
which causes our work to be done abroad
or to be done at home by an alien race the
fault is our own, but the misfortune falls
upon the children. They are not respon-
slble. Each generation takes things as it
finds them. In California we have pretty
much ignored the claims of the rtsteg gen.
GRAFTON. Our employers have too often
taken it for granted that California bows
and girls would not work. The trouble is
that we have not given them a chance.
There are probably ten children of about
: the age of 16 who want work to one who
fpds it. Meantime we are getting most of

DOWN INTO THE OCEAN.
A Derrick Goes Overheard at the
Beach.

The storm which has been raging up the
coast for the last two or three days
arrived off shore this morning. and the sea
out at the Cliff House was one OF the
heaviest of the season.
II caught the San Francisco Bridge
Company. which has the contract for the
construction of the Olympic Salt Water
Company's pier, just south Of Sutro's, In
bad shape for blow, and cnm pletely
wrecked the pile driver and derrick WIN
which they carried on their operations.
The pier is almost completed. there re-
naming only the wings at the outer end.
and the piles the full length OF the pier are
braced and tied togeth ther with iron string
ers. but at this end, where the derrick
stood, the braces had not yet been put in
place. and the machinery, including the
boilers and all, weighing about fifteen
tons, stood on four unsupported piles.
The waves kept rising during the day
and were soon breaking over the pier and
striking five or six feet up on the side OF
the derrick. The tremendous weight of
these waves, which reached a height of
twenty feet at times, breaking against the
derrick gradually worked 1t over TO one
side. and finally. just at noon. 1t wen over,
bending or breaking ten piles under Its
weight, and at length pitched over into the
ocean.
IL is very doubtful If any part of 4. can
ever be recovered, and it will delay work
on the pier for perhaps two weeks, until a
new one is rugged.
1t was 10 fault of the piles that they
could not support the weight, and in such
a sea, for the suction-pipe for the whole
equal the weight OF the derrick, which wa S
concentrated on few piles.

SHOULD STAND IN WITH US.

In speaking on the McCreary extension
bill yesterday Congressman Geary asked
that some credit be given the people of the
Pacific Coast for their superior knowledge
Of Chinese and their tricks, and of the
means necessary to defeat them. This will
probably be charged to California bump
tiousness by some Eastern opinion, but it
is nevertheless good logic and good sense.
We do not undertake to tell the East how
IL should run its local affairs, and the Chi
nese question is virtually local to this
coast. 1t will not always be so if the
Eastern majority persist in disregarding
our experience and dlscrediting our pro.
posed remedies. Should the Chinese ques-
ton become as big relatively in the East
and South as it is now in California it will
be an almost in soluble problem. Our South
ern people have had experience enough
with one race problem to warn them of
the danger of raising another, which may
become bigger and worse. They at least
should stand in with California.

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

The Brooklyn Eagle says that the Re-
publcans have better chance to elect
their State ticket this year than they have
had in more than decade. The nomina-
ton Of Judge Maynard for the Court of
Appeals is considered the cause of this i'm
provement in Republican prospects. To
Republicans in other States the result Of
the New York elections will not be consd-
cred as all indication of political opinion
throughout the country. The New York
Republican papers have been more stead
fast in the support of Mr.. Cleveland 8
financial policy than the Democratic pa
pers. Trey have in fact been so loyal to a
Democratic President that Republican
victory would carry doubtful meaning.
The success of either party would be an In
dorsement of the administration.

WIDE OF THE MARK.

Miss Eliza Conner gave the Sorosis So
ciety the benefit of her ideas on journalism
the other day. When Miss Eliza Conner
has given the subject little sober refec-
ton she Nill probably regret having put
herself on record as she did. She is re-
ported as saving:
The reason Of the impure literature In the
daily press is that the people read it. The
newspaper Is not missionary; II is founded
upOn business principles. 1t reflects precisely
the minds Of the mn and women who read it.
1t is sensitive to criticism. 1t has fue nerves
and responds quickly to your demand. II the
people refused to read scandal the newspapers
would not print 1t, because they couldn't
afford it.
Ii this view Is to prevail a newspaper
may print anything that people want to
read. Laws in regard to obscene litera-
ture would be an infringement of the right
of newspapers to print what a portion of
the people may desire TO read. While
four-ffths might not desire matter that
the present laws pronounce unfit. the
newspaper must be allowed to cater to the
One-fifth that might want stuff that is now
prohibited. The newspaper is an institu-
tion of many grades. The average Ameri-
can paper does not approach the line
which the law declares vicious and harm
full to society. But great deal of money
might be made in passing this line if the
law did not impose penalty. Until the
imaginary one-fifth is brought up to the
standard of the four-fiths newspaper
publishers will not be at liberty to con.
slider only the tastes of possible readers in
selecting matter for publication.

LOW RATE FROM PORTLAND
Union Pacific Makes Cut-Case for
the Railroad Commissioners.

Portland and neichboring cities seem to
be about the only localities on the coast
which are TO be favored with any consider
able reductions in railroad fare to Chicago
during the closing days of the World s
Fair.
The Union Pacific has announced rate,
to take effect on the 18th inst, of $50 o.
from Portland to Chicago and return, or

same order includes rate from Ogden to
Chicago and return of $50 IS, and to st.
Louis and return of S33 %. These tickets
are limited TO continuous passage In
each direction, and bear a final return
limit of November 18.
Cunningham 81 Co. of Santa Cruz have
filed complaint with the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners. in which they
charge the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany with unjust and illegal discrimina-
ton in rates In the matter OF shipment Of
lumber and planing-mil PRODUCTS. The
complaint states that shippers from Capt.
tola, Monte Vista and other places men,
toned are favored in this respect, and
claims that rates on the products men,
toned shipped from Santa Cruz to Santa
Margarita should be reduced at least 33 1-3

CLOSING UP BUSINESS.
Huntington, Hopkins 6 Co. VIII Per-
manentiy Retire.

The firm of Huntington. Hopkins 0 Oo'
is getting its affairs in shape to retire from
business. II alf OF its force OF employees
has already been discharged. the bar IRON
and steel branch Of the business has oeen
disposed of to George w. Gibbs q Co., and
Crane & Co. have assumed charge OF the
plumbers supply business. occupying
portion of the storeroom Of the firm for that
purpose. Miller, Sloss 81 Scott may take
what is left. that firm having purchased
the Sacramento branch of Huntington,
Hopkins & c. some months ago.
A mbef of the firm said yesterday
that the cause of the disrontinuance Of
business was that Messrs. GalatiD, Miller
and Frye felt that ey were getting too
far along in life to longer continue in active
business pursuits.
The statement published In one of the
morning papers that one cause Of the
change was the competition OF Chicago IN
iron goods was pronounced Dya member OF
another large house dealing in the same
kind Of goods to be untrue. He states that
the low rates from the East which the
competition with the railroad by sea has
brought about has enabled such dealers to
undersell Chicago and other Eastern points
in California markets.

A LIVELY SESSION.
Some Disturbances at the Meeting of
the Hale & Norcross Mining Co.

the Hale & NorCroSS Mining Co.
A special meeting Of the tockholders Of
the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Com
pany was held yesterday to decide what
disposition should be made of number of
shares purchased by the company at sales
for unpaid assessments. The blocks OF
stock in question comprised &c. 451 shares.
There were about 1900 shares repre-
sented at the meeting. Three proposi-
tions were made for the disposal of the
stock. Attorney Wells wished it divided
among the other shareholders. E. Ting
man thought it should be retained on the
books of the company pending a higher
market value, and j. W. Twiggs moved
that the stock be sold at the Stock Board
at not less than so cents a share. The lat
ter suggestion was adopted by vote of
63, 27S shares.
Several lively scenes occurred during the
meeting. stOckholder named Mrs. Cal

GRATUITOUS ADVICE.

The New York Board of Trade has
adopted resolutions regrettinR the growing
sentiment throughout the country against
the Senate and intimating that il the Sem
ate does not Immediately pass Mr.. Cleve-
lands bill to repeal the purchasing clause
in the Sherman act that body will forfeit
the measure of respect it still retains.
Before the New York Board of Trade
assumes to speak in the name of the people
it should show that it truly represents the
people. The supposed majority in the Sem
ate is composed of bimeiallists who will
vote to repeal the Sherman act, not be-
cause it provides for the continuance of
the use of silver as money but because
they do not believe that silver should be
purchased as a commodity. VOORHEES,
himself would accompany repeal with a
declaration that Congress remain true to
the Chicago platform, which declares for
the use of both gold and silver without
discrimination in respect to coinage in
favor OF either. But it happens that a
declaration of policy is no more binding
than resolution in a party platform.
Every one knows that il the repeal bill
can be put through the Senate any subse-
quent bill to carry out the declaration
would fail of becoming law. There is
no question of public policy upon which
Mr.. Cleveland is more clearly on record
than that of monometallsm. He began to
preach 1t before he became President, and
has never abandoned it. The minority of
the Senate are therefore justified in hold
ing out on the ground that the repeal bill
is being urged upon false pretenses. The
declaration in favor of the use of silver
may be sincere. but the men who urge it
know that while Cleveland is President it
cannot be put in the form of law.

A BAY MYSTERY.
Strange Disappearance of

AT a late hour yesterday afternoon
not sign of her could be seen about the
bay, and she had not arrived at her des-
tination. Oakland Greek, although she
sailed away for the estuary at 5 80 o'clock
wednesday evening from Main-street

Wednesday night the bay was as smooth
as mill pond, scarcely a breath of air
ruffiing its even surface, and a very gentle
swell that rolled in through the Golden
Gate was the only movement in the way of
an undulation.
But the Htna is gone. Whether she

was famed away for San Pablo, or has
gone to the bottom with her crew of two
men. is what is bethering the scow's
owner and spreading anxiety among the
friends of Captain johnson, who generally
steered the Etna during her dangerous
voyages across SIX miles of bay water.
When the Etna lett Main street she had
on board load of coal and was pretty
deep down in the water. She spread sail,
stood away for the Oakland side. drifted
slowly into the stream and when darkness
closed in she was we'll over toward the
creek entrance. Since then she has not
been seen or heard of.
Mrs. Ketchel is managing owner of the
Etna. She detailed an agent TO look for
the scow as the vessel had not reached
Oakland al O'clock in the afternoon.
Every wharf on the water front of San
Francisco was Inspected, but not sign OF
the missing sch ooner could be discovered.
Inquiry was N de at Berkeley and Ala
media, but no Etna materialized. Much
conjecture was INDUCED in by those who
heard of the mysterious disappearance of
the schooner, and IL was suppositionally
stated that she had turned turtle" and
gone to the bottom. 1t is not an impossi-
bilty by any means that this surmise is
correct. If the vessel had been heavily
laden and in addition carried a deck
load, as bay scow-schooners often do, she
might have been capSiZed by heayy swell
from passing ferry-boat.
The tide was running very strong
Wednesday night and the 4Ktna may pos
sibly have drifted toward the Contra Costa
or Marin shore.
One man assisted Captain johnson in
handling the Ktna. The vessel Is a scow-
schooner of % tons gross register and was
built in this city in 1885. She has been
used to carry coal from Main street to the
Davie Ferry Company's wharf in Oakland.
