PUT MONEY IN MOTION.

Reports made at the close OF the last
fiscal year show that money is accumulat-
ing in our savings banks. The increase
for the year is about S9OOo.OOo This is a
good showing in one respect and bad one
in another. 1t shows that such industries
as we have are fairly productive. but it
also shows disinclination to branch out.
Money seeks the security of a savings
bank which could be used more advan-
tageouSly for the State in active indus
tres.
There are two projects now before the
people which, il carried out, will set idle
money and idle labor in motion. First in
importance is the San Joaquin Railroad.
second, the Midwnter Fair. Both of these
projects will. without much doubt. be car
ried out. Thirty days after the managers
Of the two enterprises announce that sub
scriptions warrant the commencement of
work things will begin to hum. The spec
tacle of activity is infectious. A man
throws off his coat when he sees others
working in their shirtsleeves. The begin
ming of the railroad will be California s
declaration of independence of Southern
Pacific extortion. 1t will be an announce
ment to producers in thai part of the State
that the profits OF production will not all
be absorbed by transportation companies.
The Midwinter Fair will have quicker
but less lasting effect. 1t will give employ
ment to great many people whom the
ordinary business of the State does not
provide work for. The millions or so 1t
will cost will set other millions in motion
In this State there is no excuse for W mt
of confdencs. 1t is feeling rather than
an opinion. No one can account for it. yet
it is in the air. A strong, positive, WELL
concerted movement will show how base

CLEVELAND AS AN OBSTRUC.
ZIONIST.

Nature has constructed President Cleve.
land on the plan Of an obstructionist. He
belongs to the tearing-dOwn class. He Is a
man who sees calamity in the midst of
prosperity. and who conceives it his duty
to remove the causes which are producing
what to him seem undesirable effects.
When first elected ne saw danger to the
country in treasury surplus. When his
second election came about. it was defci-
ency which became the subject of his lam
entati"ns. So far Mr.. Cleveland has given
little evidence of constructive ability. He
has apparently little faculty of devising
something to take the place of what he
wants removed. He found the Hawaiian
Islands almost annexed to the United
States, and straightway proceeded to undo
what had been done. But there he rested.
He has announced no policy in respect to
the islands, and probably has none. The
same inability to propose something Is ap-
parent in his anti-silver policy. He wants
the Sherman law repealed, but be-
yond that he appears to have no
silver policy. The platform upon
which he was elected demands the
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country and the
coinage of both gold and silver without
discrimination against either metal But
Cleveland has called Congress together on
the bare suggestion that the Sherman act
be repealed. What does MIR. Cleveland
propose to do If Congress follows his ad-
vice? NJ one knows. 1t is true that there
is ground for the supposition that he will
accept the so-called Henderson plan. but
to do so he must kick the financial plank
out Of his party platform. That would be
| dangerous proceeding. There are Demo-
Gratis in Congress who will point out the
difference between the financial policy the
Chicago platform outlines and that the
Missouri ex-senator has made himself re-
sponsble for. Cleveland posed as an OBJ
structionist through his first term with
some success. since there was Republi-
can Senate to defeat any policy he might
suggest, but with both houses in political
sympathy with him the role he has cast
| himself for becomes more difficult.

SPARROWS FOR FOOD.

here In the twittering little bird, who had come

A ONE.IDEA MESSAGE.

Eastern Democratic papers urge Presi-
dent Cleveland to confine his extra-sesson
message to the silver issue. The Dem o.
cratic desire to tackle the tariff does not
seem so keen as it was. Congress will
meet on the TIN day of August. There
will be Speaker to elect for the lower
House and committees 20 appoint. No
silver bill will probably pass within a
month if nothing else is talked of. This
will bring the time TO the 7th of Septem-
ber. After that date there will be but fe W
days too warm to work. Why not con-
tinue and let the country know what it is
to expect? If Congress adjourns in June
without having touched the tariff, business
will revive. The work of revision cannot
be done in the short session, and new
Congress will be elected in November.

The Ferris wheel at Chicago carries from
5000 to 5000 persons daily in its swinging
cars. For each payment it turns two
circles. Most OF those who ventare would
prefer one trip. but they have hardly the
courage to step ont when they come down.
and are off again while hesitatng. The
view from theNop, 264 feet high. is doubt
less magnificent, but the timid have always
in mind the danger of tum bling down, and
in that state OF apprehension the pleasures
of the view are blurred. One can imagine
the shrinking OF heart which person
would have for the first time when hoisted
tn the main truck of a full-rigged ship.
Perhaps it will pay the designer of the
wheel to provide one for the mid
winter fair in San Francisco. The view
from Golden Gate Park is not equaled
in the whole of the United States. From
Brooklyn bridge the expanse of city build
ings is very impressive. but that apart the
panorama is tame. Chicago is magn tice mt

PREDICTING STORMS.

In bulletin issued by the Weather Bu-
reau at Washington the fact is set forth
that storms of tornado intensity are M ore
numerous than sleaai this year and have
indeed not beer. $50 frequent since 1888.
This seems to point to maximum Ieri-
odicity IN the occurrences. Attempts
have been made to establish peri
odicity as to seasons of excessive rainfall
in Europe. and with some remarkable evil
dence TO support the theories. The fluctu-
ations in the number and the size OF sun
spots seem to follow some law. and it
happens that this is year in which these
solar manifesr srationS are conspicuous.
Some months ago it was predicted that
there might be a considerable increase of
tornado disturbances passing northwaId
from the gulf region, this prophecy being
based on the signs Of abnormal solar
activity, out the precise relationship of the
TWO classes OF phenomena is yet question
to be solved. We do, however, know that
weather In all its moods and phases is in
timateiy connected with solar power

cautioned to be on their guard. Had the

have been a saving of life, but it is hardly
