AT NORTH BEACH.

There Is considerable speculation as to
the uses to which Senator Fairs new
made land at North Beach is 10 be put.
The most popular supposition is that the
space will be made-a great manufacturing
center. Close observers are nearly of one
mind that the conversion of raw material
into finished goods is the most profitable
new departure that can be made. A good
deal of work is expended in converting a
pound of wool into high-priced cloth.
Why should not that work be done in
California? Why send the wool to New
England and buy it back few mon tbs
later in the form of cloth, paying nine
cents for labor expended on one cents
worth of wool? Hides are another article
of raw material which might be converted
into finished goods without any great out
lay of capital. 1t may be said that enter
prises of this nature have not in the past
proved profitable. Let US then find out
the reason why they have not and remove

CLEVELAND AND CIVIL SERVICE
REFORM.

The nomination of Van Allen to the
Italian mission has caused many good
Democrats 10 question the sincerity Of
Mr.. Cleveland's civil service reform con-
vietions This. however, is not the only
bad break the President has made in the
matter of appointments. The Santa Rosa
Republican says the President removed a
model postmaster Of that city to make
place for Democrat. The Republican
says:
The custom had been established here OF
letting 4 worthy postmaster serve out bis term.
a Democrat was retained in office under the
Harrison administration until his term ex-
piTed. serving some three years and a haf
under a Republican President. A Republican
who has served little more than one year and
In that time has made most enviabe record
is unceremoniously put out OF Office by tho
President who has been loudest in his criticism
OF such policy, in order that Democrat may
be given the place.
Our Santa Rosa contemporary is quite
correct in the assertion that the four-year
term has been established. The Harrison
administration was quite scrupul0us on
that point. In some cases Democratic
officials were permitted TO serve four
years from the date of confirmation when
there was a difference between the assump-
ton of duties and confirmation by the
Senate. But the people wanted a change,
and they have got it.

LET US PULL TOGETHER.

The San DISCO Union does not approve
of a proposition entertained by Los An
geles to bid against San Francisco for
Chicago attractions to the Mdwinter Fair.
The Union says:
San Francisco holds the right OF way in this
enterprise and II would not be neighborly to
do anything which would detract from the
northern exhibition. There is little danger Of
midwinter tourists going away without visiting
Southern California.
The Union is right both in feeling and in
fact The different sections of the State
should pull together. Taken together we
are a small community. living many thou
sand miles from the great centers of Amer
lean population. United we have some
claim to con onsideration, but If we try to
trip each other up our claim will not
amount to much. II is quite true that mid
winter tourists will not leave the State
without visiting the southern counties of
California. These southern counties con-
stitute the source of our glorious climate.
In the winter the home of the orange is
seen at its best. 1t Is revelation to the
Eastern tourist who sees 1t for the first

RICHMOND STREET NAMES.

A local in Saturdays CALL stated that
some dissatisfaction is showing itself in
the district of Richmond over the lack of
system in naming streets. 1t is quite time
for this dissatisfaction to show itself. The
naming of streets does not indicate to a
nonresident Of THAT district tb cir locality.
How many people know that Lake street
is continuation of Sacramento? Some of
the streets are lettered. others mum bered.
The system might work il Richmond were
a town by itself. but as a simple outgro with
of San Francisco it is absurd. The streets
should be SO named that people can locate
them by their knowledge of streets leading
into Richmond. If Post street in San
Francisco has Post street in Richmon nd.
Sutter in San Francisco Sutter in Rich
mond, and SO on, an idea could be formed
of the location of properties offered for
sale in Richmon This district is in fact
a western addition 70 the part of San
Francisco known as Western Addition,
and there is no more reason why streets
should be given original names in the
later extension than there was in the first
The first consideration in naming a new
street is to connect it in mind with the old
street Of which it is practically continue
ton. A pretty. romantic name, which
serves so well in boom town. loses its
charm when 1t fails to secure the purpose
for which names are given streets. Be-
sides, Richmond is not boom town. 1t is
a part of the city just few years behind
Western Addition.

THE BEET-sUGAR INDUSTRY.

The San Diego Union reports q project
under consideration TO erect q beet-sugar
factory in that county. The Union SAYS {:
The culture of sugar beets by irrigation is as
safe a venture as farmers can engage In.
Wherever factories have been established the
farmers have been prosperous and the manu-
facturers have made money No better place
could be found for sugar beet culture than
right here on San Diego Ba1, and II is TO be
most earnestly hoped that this enterprise will
not be abandoned as SO many others vitally
affecting the interests OF San Diego have been,
but that 1t may be taken up with enthusiasm
and carried through to success.
There is a certain security for beet sugar
growers which most farmers do not pos
sess. There is no danger of oversize cking
the market. The United States produced
last year but about pa, 600 tons of sugar
against a world product OF g. 100000 tons.
AS yet this country produces little but
cane sugar. and yet more than one-half the
worlds product is from beets. Our beet
sugar should certainly be as good as the
foreign product, and if so there Is no rea-
son why we should not supply our own
market. Some capitalists are holding off
to see what Congress will do about the
sugar duty. Without either duty or
bounty the business. it is said. would have
a hard struggle. But it is extremely i'm
probable that the sugar industry will be
left entirely unprotected. Revenue has 10
come from some source and there is lively
lot of Louisiana planters who want duty
on sugar, If everything else goes unpro-
tected. When the party of protection
takes possession in 1897, as it probably
will, sugar will be cared for.
