edge of the commission. This makes the
case hardly any better for that body. That
the Chinese enjoy the peculiar privilege,
or at least exercise it, of catching small
young fish, and, consequently, of assisting
to deplete the waters OF the State, is a fact
that has been established by the investiga-
tons of THE CALL. It will next be inter
esting to observe what the commission
will do.
The Chinese are peculiarly insidious and
persistent, and they have an extraordinary
facility for concealing their crimes. That
is the experience of all officers who come
in contact with them. For this reason
they should be watched more closely than
any other members of the community.
They select obscure places, or, if COM
PEELED to be conspicuous, surround them
selves with other safeguards. The fish
which they catch are dried and sent to
China, and hence do not appear in the
local markets and so come under the
notice of the public. What is needed to
watch them is special patrol which may
not be easily corrupted.

FOR THE CHILDREN.

Mrs. Maud E. Hunt, secretary of the
executive committee having in charge the
concerts to be given at the Mechanics
Pavilion on the 18th and Goth of next
month for the benefit of the Children s
Hospital, struck some of the good people
Of the City severe blow when she said,
the other day: eff people can subscribe
$48, 900 for horse-show in this City they
certainly ought to contribute that much
and good deal more for a most worthy
charity" 1t goes to the root of one of the
most interesting pecullarities of human
nature.
Those who subscribe so generously to
horse-shows and other forms OF amuse-
ment and entertainment are the well-to-do
persons who maintain what is termed
society" Admitting the necessity for a
certain standard of behavior, membership
in this circle is otherwise matter of taste
of fondness particularly for the more
frivolous pleasures Of life, and for social
pursuits which are not intended for the
benefit of the race. It is tacit ignoring
of all human concerns not identified with
those of the guild, and is species of
selfishness which always has invited the
luminosity OF the poor, the contempt of the
wise and the satire of the wits.
Within recent years a spirit of what has
come to be called humanitarianism has
been steadily invading the exclusive ranks,
and, as might have been expected, it has
taken the pitiful nature of passing fad in
many instances. This has somewhat re-
tarded the movement Of education and
progress among the fashionables. Never
theless, the movement has been gaining a
most wholesome Roadway and the ex-
clusives, as a body, are slowly bringing
themselves into alignment with the more
noble purposes of life. 1t has gone so far
in many directions that good doing is no
longer fashion, but duty; and this is
the finest fruit that the tree OF modern
civilization has produced.
He would be unreasonable and churl
who would deny wholesome pleasure to
those who have the means to indulge it.
The pastimes of the rich and fashionable
elements are fo- the most part harmless,
and II harm is ever done it is confined to
those who precipitate it. But there is a
secondary harm, and that is the spirit OF
rebellion which is reused in the needy
from observing that vast sums of money
are spent IN loud and Haunting way.
while poverty, wretchedness and despair
cry aloud for human sympathy and aid.
The Children's Hospital is charitable
institution founded and conducted in part
by some of these very people. It's conduct
is with women of the finest and noblest
natures who have educated themselves to
an understanding of the true position of
intelligent persons in the community.
They are preparing two entertainments
for one of the best charities ever devised.
and this fact arraign5 the other well-to-do
people of the City at the bar of auty, and
places them on trial for character and wis
dom and humanity. Those who best
know the spirit of generosity and helpful
ness that warns the hearts of all true
Californians have no fears regarding the
case which the defendants will make out
for themselves.

THE SITUATION REALIZED.

| The handsome addition of $500 made
| by NJ. H. de Young, proprietor of the
| Chronicle, to THE Calls contribution OF
$4,000. as the nucleus of fund to defray
| the expenses of the Republican National
Convention in San Francisco, sets the pace
for the wealthy and public-spirited Re-
publicans of the West. Meanwhile, Mr..
Hearsts Examiner, a Democratic paper.
heads its subscription list with $1,000.
This sets the pace for wealthy and pub
ic-spirited Democrats, who regard the
opportunity as one of far greater i'm
portance than that which concerns the
Republican party.
The opportunity is exceedingly valuable
in that it will test the public spirit of the
rich men of the West. While subscriptions
from men of moderate means would be
welcome they still would serve as rebuke
to the hundreds of millionaires who in
habit this region.
When we reflect that only 100000 is re-
quired, that Boston recently raised and
placed in bank $250,000 to secure the con-
clave of Knights Templar and that the
West has greater proportion of million
aires than any other section of the country
and is most in need of the benefits which
would arise from National political con-
vention held here, it is not difficult to ap-
preciate the position in which the wealthy
men of the West are placed.
Nevada, with its marvellous stores OF
silver, needs the convention; Arizona,
New Mexico and California, with their
vast empires of arid lands clamoring for
irrigation, need the convention; Oregon
and Washington, with their inexhaustible
stores of base and precious minerals. their
illimitable forests of valuable timber and
their splendid watercourses and harbors,
need the convention; Utah and Colorado,
with their inexhaustible treasures in coal,
iron and silver, need the convention; Cali
fornia, with its locked treasures of gold, its
watercourses needing opening, It's millions
of acres of mineral lands threatened with
illegal occupation by powerful monop-
oily, its wine industry singled out for de-
struction by means of ruinous internal
revenue tax, its uncomfortable agricult ural
resources held in check by the crushing
weight OF an unlawfully exercised trans
portation monopoly, its matchless soil
products begging to contribute to the
wealth and happiness of the Nation-Cali-
fornia needs the convention. The country
has no conception OF the undeveloped
wealth lying west of the Rocky Mountains.
If in all this splendid territory there can
not be found twenty rlch men to subscribe
5000 each for this convention, when the
single city of Boston raised $250,OO0 the
other day for an assemblage OF leaders in a
benevolent organization, we might as we'll
go out of the business of development and
work for return of the primitive condi-
lions which prevailed during the Spanish
occupation, and surrender the business
and wealth of the West to the brains and
energy OF Chicago.

The coming election in the State of New York
cannot tail to have most important influence
upon the Presidential contest of 1896. The is
sues OF that campaign are already framed.
They have been framed during nearly three
years OF Democratic misrule, of blundering and
disastrous legislation, and of a foreign policy
as od1ous as 1t is humiliating. The greatest
American State, the leader in commerce, wealth
and industry, is called upon to pass judgment
upon National administration whose every
act has been blow at the interests of the
