Chronicle from Beaufort, S. c., says: Over
three hundred and ninety dead bodies have
been found on the islands about Beaufort
ana Fort Royal, Over two million dollars
worth OF property has been wrecked near
the same points. Both Of these are the
direct resrlt of the scvorc storm which
swept along the Atlantic coast Sunday night.
Every one o. the fifteen or twenty islands
lying around Port Royal and Beaufort are

ALL WANT THE ROAD.

The voice of the press in the San Joaquin
Valley is unanimous for the proposed
Stockton and Bakersfield road. We may
have midwinter fairs to distract our atten-
ton, and Eastern capitalists may organize
to build competing tran soon tinental roads.
but we want the San Joaquin Valley road
all the same. No project now before the
people takes precedence of this. The
people of the valley are thoroughly in
earnest and are willing to do fair share
OF the work. The CALL has quoted from
the columns of representative journals in
the principal cities of the valley, to which
we now add the following from the Visalia
Delta:-
The operation of this railroad would &C
compish more for the upbuildiDg of The San
Joaquin Valley than anything that has been
proposed. Our greatest tax is the exorbltant
rates paid the Southern Pacific Company for
passenger and freight service. If this vast sum
could be kept at home and employed in de-
veloping The country the result would be felt by
all persons and by every industry. The ad
vancement would likewise increase the carry
ing business OF the transportation companies
and would rebound to the benefit of all, and to
none more than to the cities OF Stockton and
San Francisco.
A city contemporary which is dimly
conscious that railroad through the San
Joaquin Valley Is under consideration
devoted three columns on Sunday to II
glorlfcation of the proposed midwinter
fair. The two projects need not antag-
oniZe each other and should not be made
to seem to do so. The natural advantages
of California are admitted. We know
that we have climate and soil; that we
have delicious fruits the year round; that
there is uever night when one cannot
sleep. nor day when one cannot work !;
but we know also that il is sometimes i'm
possible to find work for willing hands
and that every year men who would pre-
fer to live in California TO anv other place
in the world, turn their backs upon the
State. Our principal purpose now should
be to keep people here who would like to
stay. TO do this we have to create in
dustries !; to make profitable business for
men who have some money and remuner-
alive labor for men who have none. The
San Joaquin Valley would support with
out crowding twice as many people as are
now scattered all over the Pacific Coast.
The San Joaquin Railroad will bind this
magnificent valley to this city with the
bond of mutual interest. The city needs
this road as much as the counties through
which 1t will pass. There is no opposi-
ton to the road outside Of Southern Pa
cifc circles, but there is a disposition in
circles friendly to the monopoly to con-
fuse the public mind with a multitude of
projects, al good in their way, but all of
secondary importance to the San Joaquin
Valley Railroad.

EUREKA VALLEY CLAIMS.
The Board of Education To Be Wis.,
tied by TAXPAYERS.

The citizens and residents of the district
west of Castro street. between Sixteenth
and Twentieth. and known as Eureka
Valley, are still agitating for the securing
of adequate school privileges for tn cir
locality.
No schoohouse as yet is to be seen in the
section and the children of the neighbor-
hood are forced to travel TO schools many
blocks from their homes. For the pas;
three years the School Directors have
rartly recognized the needs of Eureka
VALLEY by renting a cottage at Douglas
and Eighteenth streets to accommodate
some of he children OF the district. 4,
however. is but small affair and is unable
TO accommodate ali those wno would at
tend if the building were larger
The residents OF the valley say that they
will pay another visit to the school board
and at the next meeting of that BODY on
Wednesday evening number of Eureka
Valley taxpayers will be in attendance and
speak Of the necessity OF building an eight
class schoolhouse somewhere in their
vicinity at once.

CLEVELAND AND HILL.
,nator Hill is quoted as saying:


The Democratic party of New York marks
out my path. 1t is my commission and my
chart. / shall heed its purport and conform to
its directions. for ii is countersgned and sealed
with the seal of the Empire State, and regard
it as the highest honor of a long career devoted
TO the service of the State that after seven
years of executive conduct of It's affairs. they
sent me to the Federal Senate Immediately
after my denunciatiOn of the Sherman silver
law and my declaration then in favor OF free
bimetalic coinage; next should have ratified
that choice by reiteratng with fresh empha-
sis of what had there expounded az the prin-
cipe and policy OF that greatest of Democrats
Thomas Jefferson, who said: "The monetary
unit must stand upon both metals"
From this it appears that Senator. Hill
has not repented of his declaration in
favor of silver But while the Senator
admits that the. Democratic party of New
York marks out his path. Mr.. Cleveland
may contend that he marks out the path
of the Democratic party. In respect to
silver Cleveland is leading his party away
from the Chicago platform. That declara-
ton of principles demanded the use of
both gold and silver as money providing
only that the two metals should be main
tanned at parity with each other. SO far
this has been done. All the silver in cir
culation is maintained On its gold valua-
ton. But a form of bimetallism which
permits one metal to serve as measure
of value for the other is not genuine.
Real bimetallism makes the money of
both metals the measure of value for all
commodities. Neither gold nor silver
should be perman emily regarded as COM
modify. How to bring the two metals to
parity in a commercial sense is the prob
lem statesmen have to solve. Some meas
ure will be needed to at once cause rise
in silver and fall in gold. The talk
about the immutable law of demand and
supply is largely bosh. Legislation or the
within of fashion may materially affect the
operation Of such law. II an ~interna
tional conference should agree to the free
use of money after a certain date. at an
agreed ratio, there can be no doubt but
that the commercial valne of silver would
advance and that of gold depreciate. The
law of demand and supply would be
affected by legislation increasing the use
OF one metal and decreasing the use OF the
other. Ii Senator Hill Is "layipg" fer
Cleveland, as is generally believed. the
coming session of Congress viii afford
him an opportunity. If he is a leader in
thought as well as master of the art of
practical politics, he may come out of the
next Congress a bigger man than Cleve-
land. The party is afraid Of its own
tariff for revenue policy and is pledged
against the silver policy as defined by Mr..
Cleveland. Stranger things have hap
pened than that the autocrat who has set
himself above his party should be reduced
to the ranks.

A SHORTER ROAD.
Direct Connection Between the Park
and Mission Demanded.

Seventeenth-street property-oWners are
anxious to have that thoroughfare opened
and graded from the Mission across 10
the park A meeting Of those owning
property on the line and adjacent TO Sew
enteenth street was held on Saturday
night at 1881 Seventeenth street ana the
question fully discussed. Charles w.
Adams presided.
During the past twelve months. it was
stated, the property-owners had Seven
teenth street graded and opened through
the hill from Douglass street west to IRA
nus. From there on to Ashoury street,
through the Mount Olympus hills. con-
tract was awarded to q. 4. buchanan
some six months back.
Numerous complaints mad been made OF
the dilatory action of the contractor in not
starting or rosecuting the work, but had
been of no effect. Last week, however.
the prdperty-owners were surprised To
learn that the Supervisors had released
Buchanan from his contract to perform
the grading.
The action of the Board Of Supervisors
was censured, as another delay will have
to be experienced before the street can
again be let for grading. 1t was decided.
however. by the lot-owners to forward
petition to be presented at to-night's meet
them to readvertise for bids for the work.
The opening of Seventeenth street to
Ashbury street and the park was discussed
at length by the property-owners. For
years 1t was stated that the residents OF
the Mission. Eureka and Noe valleys have
been compelled to travel by roundabout
way, mourning much loss OF time when de-
string to reach the Western Addition and
Golden Gate Park.
BY opening and grading Seventeenth
street an outlet between the park and
Mission will be made available and the
time in reaching those sections shortened
by one-haf.
The erection of the Mdwinter Fair
buildings in Golden Gaze Park was also
mentioned as another strong reason why
the opening of Seventeenth street should
be speedily urged and the work pushed.
The Market-street Railway Company has
secured franchise to build a cable road
from its Castro and Market-street system
across Seventeenth street to the park.
This line, it was thought, would be con-
structed Immediately upon the completion
of the street Improvements, as by the OPP
GRAFTON OF such a cable-rOad the Market
street Company would control and monop-
Ollie the entire Mission travel TO the park
and Worlds Fair Exposition.
A committee will visit the railroad COM
pany and ascertain if it will agree to COM
plete the cabe-road as soon as the street
work is completed. Information will also
be sought as TO the best way in which the
opening of the thoroughfare may be most
quickly accomplished

BUSINESS METHODS.

aries. 1t says that if mercantile house
should carry on business in such a way its
reputation would suffer- If mercantile
house should carry on business in the way
the city has for the past two years it would
have no reputation that could suffer. No
ordinary corporation could stand such
waste. Private business is conducted on
the principle of competition. If the
methods of one firm are very much more
costly than the methods Of another firm
the loss must be made up from larger
profits or the amount taken out of its CAP
ital. In time either eXpedient would prove
rninous. The city may be compared to
firm which expends to do a given business
from % to 30 per cent more than a COM
peting firm in the same line of business.
Its financial ruin is averted only by the
magnitude of its resources. With $780,
600, 600 to draw upon the road to ruin may
be made a long one.
The failure to pay June salaries was the
result of an attempt to check waste. The
taxpayers made kind Of contract with
