FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

A labor journal suggests that working
men whose only day of recreation is Sun
day try TO get second weekly day Of
rest. In this way il is assumed that the
argument against Sunday laws would be
answered. The workingman would then
have one day for his devotion aud one day
for physical recreation. 1t is urged also
that the worlds work will be done equally
as well as at present. if not by the same
persons. If the employed work five days
in the week the unemployed will have a
chance to do the other one-sixth. Such a
plan as this would work if its base was
broad enough. 1t would not work in one
locality except as to certain kinds OF labor
that can be done nowhere else. Grain
must be harvested and fruit picked on its
own ground. But in the manufacture
of articles that can be transported at
slight cost from one side of the continent
to another the fve-day aborer would
hardly compete with one who works six
days. A protective tariff would be in
dispensable to the protection of American
ive-day labOrers against foreign six-day
laborers. This fact, which there seems
no way to evade. would array the hosts of
trade against the five-day plan.

THE COMING MONTH.

A gentleman who has considerable
money lying IN bank, and who proposes in
time to invest 1t when the two conditions
Of security and revenue are best com bin ed :,
is waiting to see what will be done in the
coming month. If the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad has passed the point of peril in
November he will be inclined to put some
money in that enterprise. and to buy other
property in the city or State. But a very
important consideration in coming to a
final determination will be the result of
the municipal election. Good, clean,
honest and efficient municipal govern
ment would add materially to the value
OF real estate and to the productiveness
of industries. 1t is not so much that taxes
will be lower as that the revenues will be
better spent. Without higher taxes there
will be better courts. better schools, better
fire and street departments, and from
these improvements San Francisco will be
a more desira bic place of residence. The
San Joaquin Railroad will add materially
to the volume of business, and good gov
eminent will secure better conditions of
living. Whatever may be said of the class
which looks to political bosses for a liv-
Ing. productive Industries best thrive
when the masses of the people have conf
dence In their government.

SINGULAR HALLUCINATlON

General Fry in the Century Magazine
throws weird side light upon the conduct
OF General Mcclellan while Mcclellan was
in command of the army of the Potomac
According to this authority General Nc
Clellan believed that he was a divine
rather than an dministration appoint
men:, and as such he was justified ip act
ing without consultation with his official
superiors. This opinion of General FRY is
said TO be sustained to an extent by Nc
Clellan's letters to his wife. At the same
time the history of that campaign refutes
the Fry theory. What General Mcclellan
seemed to lack more than anything else
was confidence. He constantly over
valued the resources of his opponents.
He was always looking out for failure.
This line of policy is hardly what one
would expect from commander who be-
lieved himself selected by providence to
do certain work History has presented
cases in which faith in divine guidance
was pretty much all military leaders had
10 go upon. Joan of Arc was an example.
She knew next to nothing about war, but
she believed in her own inspiration and
made others share her belief During the
war OF the Revolution there was a quite
prevalent belief that Washington was
diviDely protected. The Indian sharp
shooter, who never missed his man. missed
Washington as often as he fired at him.
The faith that goes with such belief is
an element Of strength. but in McClellan's
case. IL he really cherished such faith. it
was an element of weakness.

THE RAILROAD OF THE FUTURE.

The report of Chancellor Won der Leyden
concerning the construction and manage
ment Of American railroads will serve to
prick a bubble from which the gas has
been for some time escaping. While Mr..
Huntington is trying to discover ways and
means to reduce the cost OF running his
roads Mr.. Won der Leyden shows how the
purpose Of Mr.. Huntington may be ac-
compllshed. Mr.. Huntington proposes to
dispense with the services OF percentage
of his employees. but Mr.. Leyden shows That
retrenchment will be much more effective
If applied to the interest and dividend ac-
count. 1t appears that the capital stock
of our great railroads has been expanded
to about three times the cost of the roads.
This Investment account appears under
several aliases, such as capital stock, pre-
ferred bonds and common bonds. The OBJ
iect of this is to enable railroad managers
TO pay dividends on one form of invest
ment and not on another. Probably In
most cases the managers know which kind
of stock or bonds to hold. 1t is probable
that this Won der Leyden report, coming
from sucn high authority, will signal a
reform in railroad management. These
managers have already discovered that at
present rates they could not pay dividends
or interest on all their evidences of indebt-
edness. and must now perceive that the
people will not stand railroad rates high
enough to cover fixed expenses three times
what they ought TO be. The report comes
just in time to ''knock OUT the funding
proposition of the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Congress can but perceive that if it
cra NJ ha oyt ,cia nh mi hn
tablished on the basis of paying dividends
or interest on hundreds of millions of fcti-
tious capital.
The San Joaquin Railroad will enter the
railroad family free of all incum brances.
1t will be capitalized at its cash cost and
be run on the same system. Consequently
it will be in a position to do business for
the cost of service, with sufficient profit
added to pay interest on all investments.
That the stock will run above par value
before the road is completed is about as
certain as that it will be completed. The
security will be as good as bond of the
State of California and the interest higher.
Gilt-edged securities bearing good rate OF
interest are in demand. There are now
outstanding bonds of the United States
that draw only two per cent interest. If
these bonds drew the rate of interest that
the San Joaquin bonds will bear, they
would be worth 10 the market. with indefi-
mite time to run, twice their face value.
But there can hardly be better security
than a railroad running through a pro-
ductive valley burdened with an interest
fund equal to about $4,000 a mile. while
its competitors are buried under an issue
# bonds equal to three times the cost of
their roads.

Practical Precepts From
the Pulpit.
Sermon by Bishop sion
Opened at ST. Roses Church
by Visiting Priests.

at the Second Unitarian Church last
evening the Rev. Leslie w. Sprague took
for the text of his sermon "rhe Duties of
Citizenship" Mr.. Sprague began his dis
course by saying that be would treat his
subject from the standpoint of a religious
teacher, and that he would approach II
with as great reverence and earnestness
as he would the topics of human sin and
divine forgiveness, and asked his auditors
to do likewise. He said:
1.-THE citizens conception of his duty
will depend great deal upon his idea of
the function of Government. 1t is GER
tainly something very sacred. 1t is not
what too many practically determine 1t to
be to-day. 1t is not to furnish occupation
to demagogues. Ii is not to provide spells
for faithful partisans. 1t is not to raise
heavy taxes and give contracts to the high
est bidders and least skilled and least hon.
est workmen. 1t it is not to give corpora
tons the legal right to take from the gen.
ersl public what ever they please and pay
commission to office-holders for the prIvi-
iege. LII was not TO give aldermen new
houses, judges new mansions or monopo-
lists their European residences.
1.-The first duty OF good citizen is to
recognize what John Locke said, The end
OF government Is the good OF mankind
The onlv real purpose of government is
10 provide for a harmonious and mutually
profitable relationship among the governed.
The present gOyernment-that of all par
tles-is actuated by selfish motives. How few
seek Office for tile good they can do in IL. how
few there are who vote against their own self
interest and for the general welfare.
How long DO you suppose II would take San
Francisco 10 do away with the corruption al
the CITY Hal-with bossism in politics, with
the violation OF ordinances, with the fostering
sores on our social bOdy-if the reliable. repre-
sentative. conscientious. conservative and
capable men and women would awake as a unit
TO do their civic duty
GOOD people are afraid OF soiling their
hands; but they should have little cOnsidera.
ton Tor the skirts OF the Goddess OF Liberty,
who Is being dragged through the mire and
forced 10 c0nsOTt with wicked men.
"Dr. A. ID. White, speaking from wide ex-
perlence and observation, declares that city
governments In the United States are the worst
in Christendom.' One cause of corruption
Doubtless the greatest-is the sinking of city
aud State affairs into the prosperity Of ma
tional parties bent upon national issues aud
spolls There Is no more relationship between
the tariff or the silver question and the streets
or drives of San Francisco than there is be-
tween iellyfsh and a winter bonnet
ut Is the duty of every citizen 10 labor by
thought, speech and vote 10 crush out the
'spoilS SYSTEM"
10 closing the reverend gentleman appealed
10 his auditors TO do their whole duty, and II
they follow their better judgments he predicted
new day IN the history OF government and
happier day for humanity

CLIPPED THE WINGS.

In Chairman Wilson's revised London
speech occurs the following passage:
For the past twenty-five years we (Amer,.
canD have been following the policy OF the
Celestial empire. For the past TWENTY-FIVE
years we have adopted the policy of commercial
exclusion, we have called off our ships from the
sea. We have clipped the wings of our indus
tries and enterprises and we have put letters on
our home industries.
Impartial observers declare that in the
period mentioned the growth of the United
States was without parallel in history. 1t
was all all-round growth, too. Our for
eign commerce and our home industries
developed side by side. This wonderful
expansion continued down to the time
when MIR. Cleveland was inaugurated and
some months after. The wings of our in
dustries have been clipped, but not by the
party under whose rule they grew. This
very Mr.. Wilson, who went to England
for the sympathy he could not fad in
America, did good deal Of the clipping
1t would be well for this gentleman, who
seems to have learned nothing in the thirty
years since he wore the Confederate uni
form, If the wings of his eloquence had
beenscipped during their eastward flight

CHRISTIANITY IN THE EAST.
Bishop Nichols breaches on the
Greek Church.


Chairs were placed in the aisles to accommo-
dale the throng at st. Lukr's Church yesterday,
and many were obliged 10 remain standing
through the service. Bshop Nichols preached
and administered confirmation 10 large class,
mostly OF men. The rector Rev. w. Ii. More
land, presented the candidates. His eminence,
Bishop Nicholas of the Holy Orthodox Eastern
Church, who had accepted an invitation to be
present, was prevented from attending by Ill
ness, to the regret of the large congregation,
who were prepared to give him hearty well
come. A throne for the Russian Bishop had
been placed alongside that OF Bishop Nichols
ID the sanctuary. The chaplain OF Bishop
NICHOLAS conveyed the news OF thai prelate's
illness to the American bishop who announced
the TACT To the congregation. The sermon was
a historical account of the rise OF Christianity
10 the East, and OF the harmonious relations
when have been drawing together the Eastern
and Anglican branches OF tie Catholic Church.
Bishop Nichols gave an interesting account
OF the concordaDt relations between the Greek
ana american churches. which have been
the action of Rev. DIR. Thrall rector of Trinity
church, San francisco, in 1862. which finally
led the synod of Moscow TO plant a Russian
Eastern church as the Oldest church in Chris
tendon, the mother OF the great fathers OF the
hrsl three centuries. the source oil the Nicene
creed ana OF the six General Councils, and as
prior III lime 10 Rome or England.
He said: "The fact that these historic
churches have lasted, while scores OF Kingdoms
nave persisted In the same time, gives them

survive Tor nineteen centuries, II 1t does not
PROVIDE for our humanity something which

invested in this great work was a little
over S37 100000. 1t is 81 miles long, %
feet deep and 200 feet wide The largest
ships cannot only go through the canal.
but they can pass each other on the way.
1t will be great promoter of commerce,
but of more importance to Germany for
naval aud military purposes. 1t is short
Route from theNorth Sea to the Baltic.
The passage around Denmark has always
been a dangerous one. 1t is estimated that
as many as 200 vessels have been wrecked
in single year in making this passage.
The canal is only one-fifth as long as the
water route around Denmark. This new
highway extends from Kiel Bay, at the
lower end of the Baltic, across Schleswig-
Holstein to ship channel near the mouth
Of the Elbe at Brunsbuttel.
1t is only few years since Germany
wrested Schles wig Holstein from Dem
mark. II is now more apparent than
ever what was the Interior purpose: Ger
many wanted great naval and CONNER
cial highway from the Atlantic, or North
Sea. to the Baltic. 1t was out of the Ques-
ton to construct ship canal across
foreign territory. 1t was short way to
conquer the intervening country. Soon
after this had been obtained the plan Of a
great ship canal was outlined by Germany.
There might be great naval battles fought
for German interests both on the Attain
tic and the Baltic. The route of nearly
400 miles through the Skager Rack and
other tortuous and rocky passages, besides
the danger. was not good one for naval
conflicts. Now ships can be sent from the
Atlantic to the Baltic with no stress from
storms or dangers of battle by that way
and in less than one-fourth of the time re-
quired 10 reach the Baltic by the old
route. At each end of the canal there is a
naval station.
While the canal has greatly increased
the defensive power of Germany. its COM
mercial importance is probably greater
than that of any other ship canal 10
Europe. 1t is estimated that half the
Baltic trade will pass through it, paying
for the present toll of about 20 cents a
ton.
