BRAZEN MEN.

The Chronicle devoted over three
columns Sunday morning TO vicious
misrepresentation of the general condition
of the city. The article begins:
Never was the business of vice moro shame
lessy carried on in this city than at present.
The worst mining camp, governed by no law
and restrained by no prOprlety. has not toler-
ated greater outrages OF decency than are per.
mitted In San Francisco now.
There is hardly color of truth in these
assertions. In many respects San Fran
cisco is the cleanest city of its size in the
world. No one will contend that it is
perfect. Their is vice for those who wish
to search 1t out. But it is left out of our
thoroughfares and is only dimly seen fro m
byways. A man or woman may walk
Market street from twilight until u
o'clock without being subjected to any of
the unpleasant experiences that make the
prOmenades of some Eastern and most
European cities places to avoid. Respect
able women can be seen during the
evening hours at any Of the residence
streets running west from Kearny and
Market walking unattended. 1t has not
yet occurred to San Francisco girl that
male escort on IeSpecta bic streets within
reasonable hours is necessary. She has
never been accosted in the evening, much
less insulted. and there seems no reason
why she should not run in to see a friend
residing In the vicinity even if there is no
man TO accompany her. The people of San
Francisco have always taken pride in the
fact that women were as safe on the
principal streets in the night as In the day.
There is good deal of talk in the
Chronicles article about braZen women.
AT least these women are made to behave
decently on the street. They do not try to
make acquaintance during their prom
enades. More than this the police cannot
well do. Unless We revive Scarlet Letter
days we can only require "brazep" women
not to offend the eye nor the ear. The real
trouble with the city is its brazen men.

HIS Personal MERITS.
he New York Recorder says:

The NeU York Recorder says:
Considered on his personal merits, bis charac-
ter, antecedenls, and attachments. Mr.. Van
Aliens was one of the best appointments made
by Mr.. Cleveland. 1t was distinctly above tie
average of them from whatever standpoint it
was viewed.
The appointment of Mr.. Van Allen mu st
be considered on other than personal
grounds. a man may be very estimab bic
person and not be good foreign Minister.
He may shine in private society and yet
be woeful failure as a Minister to a
foreign court. Apart from the belief that
Van Allen deliberately contracted Tor the
Italian mission, nothing has been urged
against his personal character. But he
has given no evidence that he has the
ordinary appreciation of the worth of
American citizenship. He has passed half
OF his life In Europe and is hardly known
out OF the English set in New York. He
is an American by birth, an Englishman
by association and preference. He per-
haps did not say that the United States
was not a fit place for gentleman to live
in, but the fact of bis spending most of his
time abroad relieves him from the neces-
sity Of making such an assertion. Action
sometimes speak louder than words. 1t
does not follow that Mr.. Van Allen is not
an estimable private gentleman, but it
does follow that he is not the kind of man
the United States wants to represent its
interests in Europe. Mr.. Cleveland has
not been over lucky in his appointm ents,
but his friends will hardly like to admit
that Van Allen is one OF the best,

HINTS OF DARK SECRETS.

Two or three Cleveland organs in this
State are asserting that investigation of
the causes which led 10 the Hawaiian rev.
olution will unearth a startling con-
spiracy. viDdicate Cleveland's policy and
put some men who were prominent in the
Harrison administration In an unenviable
light. This is safe, il not courageous,
way Of throwing mud. Charges are made
too vague to be refuted. Men are exposed
10 suspicion on a loose intination that
either they or some other person had done
something they ought not to have done.
Mr.. Cleveland has been President nearly
nine months. He has sent one personal
agent TO Honolulu to find out things. He
has had the aid of newspaper correspon-
dents who would be disgraced by their un-
truthful reports il they did not find out
something But nothing has been found
out as yet. The ayowed cause of The rev.
olution was the attempt OF the Queen to
set up a constitution which would dis
franchise the white population Of the
islands. That cause was sufficient There
is no need to look beyond il. The white
population OF the islands own nine-tenths
of the property and do pretty much all the
business that is done on the islands.
Revolution was their natural resource
under the conditions. If NJ. Cleveland
has got hold OF any dark secrets it is about
time that he shares them with the people.
The Senate has given him an opening. 1t
will not be contended, we think, that any
consideration for ex-President Harrison or
the late James G. Blaine will stay his
hand.

Jorgensen herself accounted for her deformity

fought on the side OF Germany: She showed a

communication In connection with the wound
she sustained.
Whichever story be correct, it is Iciear she
commenced her extraordinary career of

1t is more than likely that within the
two years and more that will elapse before
party lines are formed again one of the
two national parties will make unlimited
coinage of silver its leading issue. The
silver problem is growing. There is a
general conviction that contraction of
the volume of money in which debts may
be paid is ruinous to business. Money is
growing dearer and commodities cheaper.
ID ebts remain of fixed value, but more of
the products of the farm or factory must
be sold 10 get dollar to pay debts with
than formerly. In two widely circulated
magazines articles have appeared since
the repeal of the silver purchasing clause
OF the Sherman act outlining plan upon
which bimetallic monetary union may
be formed to oppose the influence of the
Tour or five creditor nations of Europe
which are forcing the gold standard upon
the rest of the world. The gold countries
are so insignificant in comparison with
the bimetallic and silver countries that
the success of such plan may be antici-
pated with reasonable certainty. All that
is needed is a firm stand for silver by Con-
gress. But such a comprehensive scheme
cannot be matured by few silver enthusi-
asts who are divided between parties
which are Indifferent or hostile. When
the fatal consequences of money cOntrac-
ton are made apparent to ordinary minds
by few object lessons there will be no
trouble in finding a party that will make
silver something more than side issue.
