his back completely upon his first political
love. His declaration ''that human brother
hood and equality OF rights are cardinal
principles OF true democracy" and his refer
ence to the platform OF the national Repub-
lican convention OF 1860 give evidence that
some of the old leayen is still working In him.
But all the maxims he lays down are founded
in simple honesty and IL faithfully lived up
TO by the party wherever it has an oppor-
tunity to put them in practice will do much
to attract people TO its ranks.
For instance, it has a proper sound TO say
that the Peoples party proposes to "rescue
the government from the control Of monopo-
lies and concentrated wealth." and ITO limit
their powers of perpetuation by curtailing
their privileges Neither Democrat nor Re-
publican will question the soundness and
morality of this proposition, although both
the Democratic and the Republican parties are
not free from the domination of "monopolies
and concentrated wealth. But no good
citizen. no matter what may be his party
af1lliation, desires at heart to sec his govern
ment dominated by clique for selfish pur-
poses, and hence this declaration OF the emf
nent Illinoisan will strike a responsive chord
in the breasts Of most people.
Again, the assertion that the government
can find no warrant in the Constitution for
making use OF standing army in aiding
monopoiies in the suppression of their en-
ployes,' will command the unanimous ap-
proval not only of the millions Of working
men of the country, but of thousands of
voters in both tho old parties who can read
lily see in such use of the nations military
force menace TO free institutions. And
"up with the rights OF men and the masses
is shibboleth eminently apropos under
government supposed to be of the peo-
pie, by the people. and for the people.
Even the demand for free coinage of silver,
the protest against the issue of bonds and
the advocacy of the ownership by the govern
ment of ''monopolies affecting the public
interests will find many adherents among
the constituents of the old parties. 1t will be
worth while to watch the effect of the Trum-
bull resolutions

WHY NOT 4 CHANGE /!

Variety is the spice OF life. That is
truism. and it is applicable no less to land
scape gardening and statuary than to bill
of fare in restaurant. 1t would be ex-
ceedingly monotonous to have 10 eat bacon
and cabbage or pate de fois gras all the time;
it is just as wearisome TO have to look at the
same thing year in and year out.
All this is anent the suggestion made TO the
District Commissioners by Mr.. William Fl.
Beck. gentleman of an artistic turn of mind,
that the propo sed circle at Sixteenth and
Morris streets be provided with a fountain
waterfall ike the Trocadero in Paris, 'the
water falling over marine or mythical forms
on its way to the lower level of the circle, the
whole 10 be surmounted by some ideal statue
like the Bavaria in Munich Mr.. Beck is OF
the opinion that "this city has surfeit of
fat circles with a bronze horse or man in the
center"
The unprejudiced observer, no matter With
how much local pride he may be endowed,
must confess that there is a good deal of
fat circle and bronze horse and bronze man
in Washington. 1t must also be confessed

in combination, do not always crafty the
artistic taste and would not be much Of an
inspiration to painter or sculptor. In fact,
some OF the bronze men-as, for instance,
the Rawlins statue on the space in front of
the Center Market-are calculated 10 give
a man not made of metal a bad case OF night
mare. Nor can it be successfully denied that
there is frightful sameness in the arrange
ment of our miniature city landscapes and
their concomitant statuary
Now, why not 90 something like what Mr..
Beck suggests? The Commissioners may not
have the funds required to duplicate the
Trocadero, or put up anything even a little
I less expensive, but instead of fat circle
they might arrange something in terrace
form, and in place of an equine monstrosity,
or libel on the human form divine in gen.
eral and some distinguished citizen or SOL
dier in particular give Us a waterfall foun-
tain with an ideal figure on top. Let not
the stranger within the gates be led to sup
pose that our sense of the beautiful runs all
to fat circles and bronze horses and bronze
men.
Why not let US have a change?

France and Austria, Like Spain. Threaten

The state Department is not yet at the end
of its troubles growing out of the repeal og
the reciprocity agreements made under the

France is by no means disposed to accept
the situation her sugar trade is placed in by
the sugar duty, and now there are strong In
timations that the new Austrian minis er,
who has EOt yet even presented his creden-
tials to the President, is charged TO begin an
attack upon this same sugar duty almost I'M

1t was the destruction Of peasant pro-

In the so.called arid region of our
country are acres enough to make homes
for many millions OF people. But to
make those tens of millions of acres
available for settlement will require the
help OF the general government.
Everybody knows it was wise for the
government to expend hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars for the improvement Of
rivers and harbors. The blood and
treasure spent for the preservation of
the government came chiefly from the
tillers OF the soil; and both blood and
treasure were poured out like water.

A Nsw CHARTER FOR SAN FRANCIS CO.

The mayor of San Francisco has way
OF addressing his constituents through
the newspapers; and the Examiner
which arrived yesterday contained q
long letter from him recommending that
the city should give itself new charter.
There is little doubt that there is rap
idly growing idea at the Golden Gate
that the old and pennywise system
which has prevailed there should be
replaced by one more progressive and
flexible. San Francisco is the most
backward city on the continent in her
pavements and sewers, and hitherto it
has been impossible to get money to
improve them. The noble effects OF the
splendid park which has been created
out Of the ssndhills ought to have
taught the people of San Francisco what
could have been accomplished in the
same line by little more liberality. 1t
would have been money in the pockets
Of the taxpayers to have doubled or
trebled their outlays on their parks, and
as for the streets and sewers they have
been the laughing stock OF every one
who has visited that city. The Dollar
Limit may do for a third rate town,
but it ought not to tie down
great city and deprive Fer OF most OF
the onvsniences Of modern life. Two
powerful journals, the Call and Bulletin,
have hitherto succeeded in arresting any
attempts at liberal expenditures, which
are often the truest economy in the man
agemsnt of city aspiring to be a
metropolis. This year San Francisco
will probably see within her limits more
persons than at any one time in her
career. The midwinter fair will attract
there many thousands who have been
used to good streets and pavements,
aud who have no affection for the
mephitic exhalations of badly con-
structed and insufficient sewers. A
thorough cleanup would be good
thing preparatory to the reception OF SO
many visitors, and the Bay City should
take advantage of the arrival OF these
people to see to it that a new charter
shall give her an opportunity of q
greater expansion. Growth can be
greatly stimulated by liberality directed
by local patriotism.

THE Chronicle, in the following. tell

THE Chronicle, in the following, tells
an lower true tale:"
Some of our friends in Southern Cali
fornis are evidently more scared than
hurt by the recent cold snap which has
occurred there, ii we may judge by the
dispatches which have been cent to this
city. No doubt the nights have been
cold, and the frost may have nipped
home oranges in exposed localities, but
when a veteran grower OF citrus fruits,
having an extensive acreage under his
control, says that hie loss is too small
to estimate in percentage, we may be
very sure that no serious damage has
been done.
1t is probably useless to ask why our
people voluntarily make alarmists oil
themselves. One might just as well ask
why is iox's tail bushy. Our San
Francisco contemporary has hit the
nail squarely on the head and has
pointed out leading infirmity OF our
section. From bemoaning what prom
ises to be an overabundant crop to howl
ing If few oranges fall is but step,
and it is something OF the character oi
that which leads from the sublime to
the ridiculous.
