people have heard just enough about
Chinese to experience little curiosity to
know what they are like. At the fair
grounds in the park Eastern visitors will
see some phases of Chinese civilization,
but the naked truth will modestly be kept
in the background. The theatrical dis
plays will be more or less amusing. but
for solid information the visitor should be
referred to scenes from actual life. a
theatrical performance might properly
close with the distribution of circulars
bearing the words: For particulars, see

THE McCREARY ACT PASSED.

The MeCreary act has passed the House
by majority SO large that no record was
taken of the negative. The clause in the
dispatch which says that the Republicans
refrained from voting refers TO he publicans
who would have voted in the negative if
at all. Mr.. Geary succeeded in getting two
amendments adopted, which strengthen the
bill. The photograph clause of the Geary
act is retained, and provision is adopted
that Chinese who have been convicted of
crime shall not be entitled to register.
The latter clause will leave highbinders
and other known criminals subject to de-
portation. The mischief OF the act lies in
the fact that a new law may be held in
some quarters to require examin alton as to
its constitutionality by the Supreme Court.
1t was the Geary act, Eot the McCreary
act, that the court passed upon last May.
While the acts may be Identical in pur-
pose there are differences in detail. As
the matter now stands the Supreme Courts
decision is that deportation is constitu-
tional; but when a case arises under the
new law, if the McCreary act should be-
come a law. the decision may be reversed
1t is probable that that is what the fight
for a new law means.

A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

Some curiosity has been manifested as
TO the terms on which Isaac Ii. Maynard
was nominated to be Judge of the Court
Of Appeals for New York. 1t is the Gus
tom when man is placed in nomination
to make some reference to the grounds on
which his claim to distinction is based.
AS Judge Maynard was best known as a
ballot thief. and as the convention knew
that the nomination was asked on the
ground of services Of which ballot stealing
was tie most conspicuous act, 1t was
thought that the orator who might be Sc
lected to make the nominating speech
might show signs of embarrassment. But
a good Democrat was found who did not
hesitate to say:
The Democratic party Of the great State of
New York knows Isaac Fl. Maynard, and they
owe him debt Of gratitude that they can only
in a small measure pay by nominating him for
this exalted position.
The honest Democratic voters of New
York will probably pay the debt of graft
tude in November by voting against the
nominee of their party.

JUDGE-MADE LAW.

The Legislature enacts laws and the
courts inform the people what the laws
mean. Very often there is no close con-
nection between the law and what is de-
clared to be law. 1t is a matter of aston
ment how long it takes the courts TO find out
what law really means. For great num-
Der of years the Mayor of San Francisco
was supposed to have voice in the legis-
lation made for the city, When the Mayor
vetoed an ordinance the board went
through the formality Of passing the veto
over the Mayors head. If votes could not
be found to overcome the veto the work of
the Supervisors was held as killed. For
many years the Mayor was held to have a
veto power over ordinances fixing water
rates. The water company used to take
great trouble, and possibly incurred some
expense, to elect nine Supervisors who
could be depended upon to overthrow a
Veto 1t has been found easier to get the
required number of Supervisors than to
nominate a Mayor entirely after the water
company's heart. But at last time came
when the historical nine Supervisors did
not materialize. a vetoed ordinance could
not be passed over the Mayors head. But
the water company was not at the end of
Its resources. The theory was advanced
that the Mayor did not possess the veto
power which Mayors have exercised ever
since the consolidation act became our city
charter. The average legislator laughed
at the theory, but it seems that they
laughed without the Supreme Court. That
august body has decided that the Mayor
has no veto power when the exercise of it
conflicts with the interests Of the Spring

COAL IN THE SOUTH.

We only hope the report Of discovery
of coal published in the Los Angeles Her.
aid is genuine and not likely to lead to dis
appointment. An abundance of good fuel
available for furnaces and manufactures
is what California needs more than any
thing else to round out its industrial lite.
This discovery is located near Mojave and
the coal is spoken Of as anthracite. 1t is
we'll known that there are seams of ligne-
Gus fuel cropping out at places in the San
Joaquin Valley. but its quality is too in
ferior for manufacturing uses, and the
economy of working such coal would not
be encouraging. Whether better results
could be got by boring remains to be proved.
There certainly is good coal up north. and
1t is just possible quite as excellent quality
lies in the strata of the southern coast.

A GOLD CHAMPION.

1t is doubtful if the New York World
has strengthened moDometalism by pre-
senting the views of George Gould as an
advocate thereof. Aside from the fact
that young Gould has only distinguished
himself by inheriting S15.000.000 or so
from the late Jay Gould. and Consequently
is hardly entitled to special consideration,
the public will instinctively reject any
ideas the young man may entertain. The
only act with which young Gould has been
identified since he Inherited his estate was
in the nature Of fight against the city
authorities over the amount OF the inher-
tance tax the estate should pay. The
young man now says, according to the
WOrld'S report:
a bimetallc standard cannot be reached by
International agreement. AT this time the
Governments of Europe do not seem willing
TO agree to a bimetaIic standard. Without
European agreement il is nonsense to suppose
that thr United States can undertake TO estab-
lIsh bimetallsm successfully single handed.
Mr. George Gould seems to have mis-
giving, however, that the United States
may establish bimetallism successfully
,single-handed with European agreement.
Notwithstanding this confusion Of expires
SION the idea is apparent that as European
Governm ents are determined to make gold
the unit of value, the United States has
nothing TO do but to accept the standard
that Europe is pleased to establish. On
this point the people of the United States
will hardly accept the son of Jay Gould as
authority. Being the owner of SIS, ,0O0, 900
and the manager of S55.000,000 belonging
to his brothers and sisters, he naturally
desires to maintain and, if possible. ad-
vance the purchasing power of money.
In this perhaps be is not to be blamed.
He has as much right to look out for his
own interest as a farmer who raises wheat
or planter VINO raises cotton. But as an
expert on taking care of himself, wnic h
his conflict with the authorities over the
inheritance tax shows him to be. his views
are hardly worth quoting on a great pub
lie question in which the interests of thou
sands of men equally intelligent but not
equally rich are in conflict with his own.
He is simply an advocate, and not a very
bright one at that. Bimetallism prevailed
in the United Sta tes from the adoption OF
the constitution down to 1873. when we
meekly received a financial policy at the
hands of Europe. AS the men who thrust
that policy upon US do not ntrol gold
enough to pay one-tenth of the bonds upon
which they are drawing interest. and as
they are liable at any time to be called
upon for more gold than they can CON-
mand, their system Of finance is open to
grave objections.

IN DISTANT SIBERIA.
A Consignment of California Apples
Via Japan.

1t is new departure in the fruit-ship-
ping business for California to send apples
to Siberia.
"A consignment of fifty boxes of New
town Pippins and White Winter Pearmins,
which Wetmore Brothers will ship by the
next Oceanic steamer, is intended. how
ever, for that far distant land Of exile.
"The order comes from an English
house in JAPAN" said member of the
firm named to CALL reporter yesterday.
They requested US to pack the fruit with
the greatest care, as on arrival at Yoko
hama it was to he reshipped to Siberia.
You see we have wrapped each apple in
paper and laid the fruit very near to-
gether to prevent its being bruised by the
rolling OF the vessel" And he showed a
box of fine Newtown Pipplns packed as
closely as the proverbial herring in bar
rel.
Naturally. we are anxious that it
should arrive in good condition, as this
opens up a new trade" he continued
quietly. "We have sent fruit as far as
Australia, and even China, and it has al
ways arrived in good shape"
From San Francisco to Japan and
thence to Siberia is 1000 miles. Good
apples must be rare in that part of the
Cars dominiOns, or else the excellence of
California fruit has tempted the Japan
firm to import it as luxury.

army chief cannot ride horse.
Edward Fawcett writes in an English
periodical that Americans "are race of

Ex-senator John j. ingalls, now declares
it to be his ambition not to become Gov

who succeeded him in the United States
Senate in 1890.

The Davie Ferry Company continues to
thrive and the Southern Pacific is sadly
annoyed at the prosperity. On the creek
route the great monopoly recently lowered
the fare to 3 cents each way. but sold ten
tickets for 25 cents. This did not operate
as bait for gudgeons quite as fast as was
expected. Now the company is driven to
another dodge as proof Of its generosity
to the travelling public. 1t sells, through
rum ers. tickets at 21a cents eacb-or two
for nickel-and out of each ticket the
runner pockets half a cent commission.
How this will operate remains to be seen.
rhe public are not enthusiastic about the
ere route in the Southern Pacific steam
ers. Were the Davie company beaten the
public would, within week. enjoy the
luxury of return to former rates on the
mole route and the creek would be closed
as an approach to Oakland. At present
the public have the benefit of the spirit Of
competition, and they have had many
years experience of what transportation
is without it. With low fares there should
be enough of traffic for several ferry CON-
panieS.
M. Cos, the French commissioner who
is studying our vineyards and methods OF

the knowledge of how resistant vines

gagged in wine making. that the growers of
California are thoroughly familiar with
the virtues of grating on non-resistant

Grey Bros. set off two terrific blasts on
Telegraph Hill last Sunday, and as a con-
sequence the hill tribes have declared war
again on the contractors. Clocks were
stopped and seams in the already crum-
bling hillsdes were opened afresh. The
force of the explosion shook the residences
on the hilltop and their inhabitants fed
in terror.
In speaking of the occurrence yesterday
a resident of Telegraph Hill said that the
people who owned property on the heights
would make one more appeal to the Board
of Supervisors to place an Injunction on
the blasters.
I'VE were not served with any notice."
said he, sand were therefore unprepared
for the shock. L he matter of blasting the
hill has been brought before the public
time and time again, and was first men,
toned in THE CALL. We have never,
however. obtained any satisfaction from

A fresh crevice has opened on the east
side of the hill, and further blasting such
as occurred last Sunday will probably
cause large portion Of the east cliff of the
