CARRYING LEGISLATION BY
STORM.

The announcement made by Premier
Gladstone in the Commons that he has
resolved to take measures to expedite the
passage of the Irish home-ruIe bill is not
unexpected. There have been signs that
some step of this drastic kind was medi-
tated, and the disrassionate and unpreiu-
diced will concede that it is eXcusable if it
is unusual. The studied and avowed oh.

Cleveland as any journal in America. In a
recent forecast of what Congress would do
the Times put raw wool on the free list and
allowed wooden manufacturers an ad-valo-
rem duty of not less than % per cent.
Whether the % per cent would be classed
as a revenue or protective measure the
Times did not have time to say. 1t simply

contrary they are going to fight for such
protection upon manufactured goods as is
in the interest of the whole nation" The
Manufacturers Club Of Philadelphia has
resolved that Considerations of interest
and of consistency require that we stand
firmly by the principles for which we have
contended, and we shall offer such resist
ance as may be possible to the movement
for reduction or removal Of duties" This
resolution rather shocks the Times. The
hope had been entertained that there

La the course of a kindly article on the
bank situation in this State the New York
Herald falls into some errors. No banks
In this part of the State have made the
mistake which the Herald describes. 1t is
quite well understood here that a CONNER

savings banks, whose especial business it
is to lend on bond and mortgage. have

NATIONAL MUSIC.

Theodore Thomas, the director of music
at the Worlds Fair, is being lectured on
the performances he should give. He is
told very distinctly that he must not play
Wagnerian music exclusively on the
Fourth of July, but must concede some
thing to popular feeling in selections
which accord with that anniversary. Mr..
Thomas might almost be supposed to have
a scorn for the airs which are identified
with our patriotism. and every good
American would scorn TO do otherwise
than revere them. Mr.. Thomas has a pas
sion for German music. as indeed have
most people born with ears and feeling
for harmony. But there is a great deal of
wonderful music not Teutonic. France
and Italy have contributed literally and
delightfully."- to the worlds stock OF melody
and harmony: Hungary has a high place :;
and neither England nor America is quite
outside the pale of distinction in o0mpo-
sition and execution. Verdi. who has
gone on with his own style as If Wagner

duced a positive triumph in "Falstaff,"

which he has risen 10 fame. The verdict
is that melody Is scarce, and Verdi is su-

The Belmont school is lust now the
scene of active building operations that
will greatly increase its facilities. The
consolidation Of the Hopkins Academy at

two dormitories. A large and very COM

added to the grounds.
A steam heating aud electric lighting
plant will soon be erected. The plans
also include new assembly hall, a chapel
building. and steam Laundry to be added
after the fall term of school. With the

LITTLE LEAKS.

The Examiner enumerates some of the
leaks in the Fire Department and sums up
as follows:
Little leaks like this have as much to do
with the deficiencies OF the Fire Department as
insufficient appropriations.
Our contemporary might have gone a
little further and admitted that it was
these little leaks, some of which arc large
enough to provide for new steam engine
and men to work it, that make appro-
pristions apparently insufficient There
has not been an insufficient appropriation

The San MateO Electric
Road Franchise.
The Work Not Done, Although One
Extension of Time Had Been
Granted.

The Board of Supervisors of San Ma
teo County has declared forfeited the fran
chise held by the San Francisco and San
Mateo Electric Railway from San Bruno
to Redwood City.
When the electric road was projected by
Behrend JoOst and j. w. Hartzell fran
chise was secured from the San Fran
cisco County line to Baden, and second
franchise for a road from a point near San
Bruno along the county road TO Redwood
City was granted June 10, 1891. 1t is this
second franchise that has been forfeited
The work of construction was 10 De
commenced in one year, but an extension
If another year was granted later. As the
time of the extension is up the company
sent a request to the Board of Supervisors
asking a further extension of time in
which to build the road, but not specifying
a time when the work ould be completed.
The request for an extension was promptly
denied and a formal resolution declaring
the franchise forfeited was adopted uuan-
imously.
When informed of the action of the
Supervisors yesterday President Joost
of the Electric Railway expressed sur
prise, and stated that he could not see how
the board could legally annul their fran
chise.
1--WE have built mile and half of the
track" said Mr. Joost, land that ought
to hold The franchise until we can COM
pete The work" Mr.. JooSt claims that
his company should be allowed a reason
able time to complete the work, as it
commenced work by the laying of this
short piece of track, long before the
eXpira lion of the time specified for COM
mence-ment.
But we don't care much about 1t how
ever. We are not ready to build the road
now, and in fact it would not pay at
present.
I'VE are more anxious to get our present
road in first-cass shape and extend it to
the stockyards.
Thus It is settled that San Mateo and
Redwood City will not have a competing
road into this city. which has been their
dream ever since the electric road was
projected.

What Causes Them, With Few Hints for

Cholera morbus and summer diarrhea occur
principally during summer and autumn. Cholera
morbus is caused by improper food and sudden
chilling of the body after exposure to great heat.
Certain substances will produce it to certain
sons, such for instance as veal raw milk taken
with fish, she'll fish, and all dishes cooked with
milk, such as rice pudding, cream pufTs and even
tce-cream when Kept too long. Unripe and over
ripe fruit especially II with large draughts
OF ice-water, will cause it. Avoid becoming
chilled during sleep. In climate as chanreable
as ours this is an ever-present danger Persistent
summer diarrhea is usually caused by malaria

The Young Ladies of the Institute
VIII Have a Building.


Yesterdays session of the Young Ladies'
Grand institute was entirely occupied by
amending the constitution. One of the
most i'm portant changes was the substitution
of general fund for the management, sick
benefit and sinking funds. in which the
money of the institute has been contained
Henceforth all constitutional Indebtedness
will come from the general fund.
The annual fee of 81 from each member
to pay the running expenses of the Grand
Board will remain unchanged. So also
will the sick and death benefits. In addi-
ton to the 81 fee each member pays so
cents monthly to her own institute. After
an animated discussion it was decided to
levy an assessment OF per cent on these
latter fees, toward the building fund.
Three thousand dollars have already
been amassed toward building a meeting
hall. where all the city institutes can as
semble. The young ladies are very en-
thusiastic in rela ion to the scheme.
'The hall will be a source of revenue to
the institute. eventually" they say. The
board of directors can make money even
tually by sub-letting it," And meanwhile
they are willing to make sacrifices to in
crease the building fund.
