A HOMILY.
a Bay Paper on the Grand Army of
Silurians.
Oakland Times


The RECORD-UNION says that "the un-
solved problem of the age is, and prob
ably will continue to be, why cannot
State work be completed with the ceIerity
and excellence private capital can always
commando
We cannot answer the question, but we
know that it is fact. And this condi-
ton prevails not only IN State work, but
in the administration of municipal af-
fairs. as Oakland has found to her COM
munity cost. The silurian principle has
nampered US and hobbled us to such an
extent that not a single public improve
ment OF any magnitude has ever been
carried out by the city. Many improve
ments that would have been vastly bene-
ficial to the city have been proposed, but
because some of our citizens might bene-
fit Immediately by these enterprises the
envious, selfish, jealous spirit of the si-
lurian lnterposed TO postpone or utterly
obstruct the endeavor. All that has been
done for Oakland has been accomplished
by private capital in spite Of the siluri-
ans and obstructionists. This suits the
tax shirker, who is perfectly willing that
his neighbor should spend his money in
forwarding improvements that will en-
hance the value of the tax shirker's real
estate. But even under these circum-
stances the Silurian is not wholly satis-
fed, for it girds him to see others reaping
the benefits of enterprises that he dare
not undertake.
Is it any wonder, then, that our ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair is q disgrace
and a humiliation to the State? Is it
strange that the State should be served
by incompetents and high-salaried hang
ers-on of the commission, when the Sec
ond city of the State refuses to encourage
or promote public improvements which
will accrue to the material prosperity OF
the entire community? Oakland is a
village-a city (sO-called) of homes,
schools and churches. 50 frequently
have we boasted of our "homes, schools
and churches" while ignoring public inn
provements, manufacturing interests and
the prosperity of the labOring man, that
we are the derision and the sneer of every
community i'll the country.
1t is easy enough to obstruct enterprise
and to destroy the prosperity of city,
and the silurian of Oakland is an adept
at that sort OF thing. 1t is consoIing,
however, to know that the most danger
Gus of these civicides are themselves with
in reach of the clutch of death. They are
gradually passing away. only few of
them are left, and their time is short-the
grave will finally swallow them. When
these are dead the rest of US will begin to
realize that it is good to be alive. In the
tomb the silurian, tlocking with the
worms, can enjoy death and the dry rot
as only silurian knows how to enjoy
that condition. Let the funerals proceed

The Transmississippi Congres held its first session at Galveston three years ago. Its second session was held at Denver about six months latter. 1t met a third time at Omaha, and fixed New Orleans as its place to meet next. The meet ing at New Orleans was its fourth and the congress assembled in that city last February. This made four meetings of the congress east of the Rocky Mountains, and it was decided to hold the next session west of the Mountains, and Ogden was selected as the place on account or the rail road facilities for reaching that city from all parts of the far West, its fine operahouse and other conven- fences for handling a large assem- blaze. May 2. 1893, was fixed as the time. But on account of this date conflicting with the Worlds Fair opening the executive commit tee has changed the date to Monday. April 24.
