Iievcd of All VaIuabIeS.

Darien, Ca, March 1S.-The body of the
late Capt. Thomas Mclean of the British
bark Valona, who, along with two Of
his crew, was drowned in Sapelo harbor
about a month ago, was found on the
beach near Crescent last Saturday after
noon in a badly decomposed condition.
The coroner was notified as early as pos
sible, and reached the place yesterday
morning early. The body, when first dis
covered. was lying face down, but the cor
oner on his arrival found it turned
around. 1t was known that Capt. Nc
Lean had gold watch and chain and it
was thought about $40 in cash about him
at the time of the accident.
The vest pocket, the coroner reports
was cut open with a knife, and also the
trousers pockets, supposed to have con-
talned the money. The coroner feels
sure that this robbery was committed

THE ACTOR, THE MANAGER AND
THE PUBLIC.

As the number of attempts at dramatic work
increased, IL became more difficult to deter
mine the good from the bad. The manager and
the actor ultimately shifted the responsibility
tor this judgment to the public. which has now
LOT long period patiently borne the odinm
ior much nonsense that goes by the name of
play. Startling and fascinating announce
ments, fashioned with the utmost art of the
photographer and printer are relied upon to
strengthen or supplent any lukewarm or indif-
1erent verdict given by the public jury And
so the hurly-burly has gone on until sensible
people nave grown very weary OF the. i'm
pertinent and constantly repeated efforts
10 maze them responsible upholders of
the "show business A vast aud dispro-
portionate army OF theatrical managers
men whose darling desire is to see their
names IN two-by-four letters, and their faces in
hVe colors, on the advertising boards-has
sprung up by the opportunity thus afforded
ior the exercise of the art of getting something
1or nothing. By imperceptible degrees the
posltlon OF the actor has been entirely changed
once he was person who possessed a certain
power ana was entitled TO q certain conslders-
tlon. He knew how TO act and what was neces-
sary toward the making of good play. His
opinion was deferred to and his Judgment
sought. The commercial prosperity of the old
time ''agent" has, however made that member
arrogant IN these regards and he now no
longer defers to the experience of the man who
pays: Inc latter must conform his conduct to
the direction OF the box-offee man, and much
ana great is the dissatisfaction resulting from
TINS reversal OF functions. Not the least impor-
"a 1@nt OF the dissatisfied parties is the public.
lhey see, without knowing why, that there Is
soInethlng wrong with both actor and play.
1hey naturally blame the actor. He is the one
responsible TO them. No agent can represent
the actor In his work. III the actor is blame
worthy for helping TO break down the rational
organization OF the theater, the manager is
equally so tor thrusting himself into the

not always happen that the pleasing power of
any an given play or set of plays is referred solely

come the actual controllers OF the theater, no

work @ tries to keep his name in print as the

A RETRIEVING STEP.

The State had been wondering for weeks
whether or not Governor Budd would take
action regarding the lynchings which have
occurred recently in various parts of the
State. The Yreka affair, in which four men
were hanged by mob, and the Round Val
ley tragedy, which is said to have been made
all the darker by the participation of officers
of the law in the lynching, were peculiarly
unfortunate happenings and immeasur-
ably damaging to the State. The Governor
has at last decided to step forth in the in
terest of the States fair name and call the
perpetrators to account. He is said to be
preparing to issue proclamation offering a
reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction
of each OF the persons engaged in those
affairs as well as in the lynching at MADEIRA
The chances are that this will bring seri-
Gus trouble to the men at whom this
measure is aimed. A deplorable feature of
the Yreka lynchiDg is that it was led and
participated in by men of character and
standing, and that they were urged to the
deed by an insupportable prevalence of
murder as the result of lax administration
of the law. There have been no murders at
or near Yreka since the lynching and there
likely will not be for many day. Mob
law is sometimes more efficacious than the
code. At the same time the leading mer
who joined in this lynching had it in their
power to elect competent and diligent Off
GERS. Their resort to lynching was a rebuke
to their own shortcomings.
A large number of men were engaged in
the affair and hence the reward of $500 for
the conviction of each will probably serve
| as temptation which some one cognizant
of the essential circumstances may prove
unable to resist. In addition to the total
reward in this case, ranging from $2500 to
$4,000, which will be very strong induce
ment, there is the possibility that immu-
nifty for turning States evidence may be
offered 1t is well for sensible men to con-
slider all these dangers before embarking
in an enterprise of this character.
This refers to the question of their own
safety and welfare. Besides this they
might reason that a alynching casts obloquy
on the whole State and that thousands of
interests are damaged by the act. Such a
consideration presupposes men who are
proud of their State and desirous of pro-
noting its advancement. Residents of the
older Eastern communities will think
twice before deciding to cast their lot in a
community where the best men publish
the inadequacy of the courts and proclaim
the insecurity of life and property by re-

TENDERS OR OFFENDERS.

If reports and appearances are to be be-
lieVed the street-railway companies OF San
Francisco are about to abandon the use of
the cable as means of propulsion for their
cars and to adopt the electric.trolley sys-
tenn upon many of their lines. The tracks
upon Market street were last spring
relaid and sub wired with this
purpose in view. The Ellis-street
line is ready throughout for that
change and electric cars will be run
ming upon it in a few days. 1t is under
stood that other streets will have the
head trolley as rapidly as possible.
In view of these changes TO what expert
ence has taught to be the more dangerous
method of streetcar propulsion, it is i'm
perative that the City authorities should at
once. insist upon the selection of a
safe and suitable fender for electric
cars by the railway companies. The rec
ord of fatal accidents, especially to chill
dren, from unguarded streetcars in San
Francisco is appallingly long and is grow
ing inexcusably longer. The killing of the
little child, only last week, on Broadway
by a trolley-car without the pretense of a
fender upon it should arouse the City Off
cials to action which would :put an end to
such horrors by forbidding cars not
equipped with safe and satisfactory fen
ders to go or be upon the streets at all.
This plan might energize the railway man.
ayers to action in the way of adopting
proper tenders for their cars at once The
offered excuse that they cannot find safe
fender is an insult to science The idea
that the mechanical genius of the
country which has harnessed steam
and lightning to our railway cars
cannot devise a fender adequate to
keep people from beneath their wheels is
childish in the extreme. The plain truth
Of the matter is that the railway compa-
nies have been indulging in niggardly
piece OF parsimony in the matter of fen
ders ct the expense of large number OF
human lives. 1t is high time that this dis
| regard for public safety should be checked
by firm and positive measures. If nothing
else will do this the indictment of the next
reckless trolley-man for murder and the
incarceration of his employers for com
pllcity in the crime and the swift punish
ment Of both might have the desired effect
In word, let us have an end once and fol-
all OF trolley horrors in the City of San
Francisco if human laws or punishments
can bring this result to pass.

MORE HIGH SCHOOLS.

In the revival of energy throughout the
State which has led to the undertaking
OF SO many new enterprises and public i'm
provements, it is pleasing to note that pub.
lie education has not been overlooked. and
that the erection of high schools in locali-
ties where they are needed engages the at
tention of the people to a degree at least
equal to that given to undertakings inYoIy-
ing pecuniary interests.
Among the many localities now occu-
pied with plans for erecting high schools.
none enters upon the work with a keener
sense of its Importance or with better
auguries of success than lone That town
should have had good high school thor
oughly equipped long ago. 1t is naturally
the educational center of wide region of
country cultivated by a class of people who
thoroughly understand the i'm Importance OF
education, and who are well able to main
tain school in which young men and
women can be fitted for the university il
they desire to go there, or for an imme-
diate entrance into any of the occupations
of life where thoroughly good education
is requisite for success.
The high school may be fairly called the
NA'eASAeJ Va VIC pSOplS. ~ 1uTulSQeS as
complete training as the average young
man or woman needs, and it ought to be
within easy reach of every ambitious and
studious youth in the State. The erection
and maintenance of such school is one
OF the best investments community can
make, even from a financial point of view,
for none will yield better returns in the in
creased efficiency of the people to master
the details of modern industry and adj.
vance the welfare of themselves and their
neighbors.
The active interest shown by the more
intelligent and progressive people in vari-
Gus Localities in promoting plans for the
establishment of high schools may be ac.
counted therefore as one OF the best signs
OF the growing improvement OF the State.
1t should be matter of generous rivalry

THE NEW SACRAMENTO.

The account which THE CALL published
in its issue of Sunday of the progress made
by Sacramento in the way OF street i'm
provements during the last few years
makes an interesting study for all Cali
fornianS. a piece of history, not EN-.
bodied in that sketch, might have been
given to explain the sudden awakening
which came to the capital city. The slim
ulation of civic pride was produced by o
threat on the part of the Legislature to
move the Capitol to San Jose. Up to that
time Sacramento had depended for its
prosperity on circumstances which the
enterprise of the citizens had not pro-
duced. These were the presence of the
Capitol and of the railroad shops. When
the movement was started to remove the
Capitol Sacramento in alarm saw the mis-
take which it had made in neglecting
itself. From that beginning came the
splendid improvements which have made
the city one of the most attractive in the
State.
The spirit of progress, instead of subsiC-
ing with the passing of the threatened
danger, only grew the stronger and has
grown steadily during the last five years.
The first move was the submission to the
people of proposition to bond the city to
the amount of 100000 for street improve
ments. This was carried by a smothering
majority. When it became evident that
the improvements made with this fund
were so valuable and that further work of
the same kind was needed a few infiu-
ential and public-spirited citizens went
among the people and raised subscriptions
for the making of good pavements They
succeeded, with the result that the main
thoroughfares are now paved with btu
minous rock, concrete sidewalks abound,
the shabby awnings have been attended to-
and the whole aspect of the city denotes
that the domination of the silurian has
passed away.
All these things were accomplished by
the pride, energy and public spirit OF few
leading men, who assumed and accom-
plished the task of rousing the people. 1t
is likely that in most of the neglected
towns of the State the general sentiment
favors bettered condition, but the leaders
are lacking, and their absence gives the
silurian his opportunity.
The investment which the people of Sac
ramento have made in the street improve
ments will prove profitable, for that is the
history of all such investments. But the
work Of Sacramento will by no means have
been completed when it has made its
streets as handsome throughout as are the
main thoroughfares. The great Sacra-
mento Valley could be made one of the
richest gardens of the world, and it is the
duty OF Sacramento to accomplish that
end and reap the benefits which would
ensue.
