ONIa THING OVERLOOKED,

The Bemis incident has closed and will
soon be forgotten, but we shall not so soon
forget very remarkable omission While
there has been most vigorous denuncia-
ton of the practice of millionaires in es-
tablishing great universities as "beneyolent
institutions" and yet refusing to permit
the employment of professors therein who
would warn the young of the dangers
to the country which the methods of great
trusts create, nothing has been said con-
corning the duties OF the public in the
premises.
If It's wrong for millionaires of the Rock
efeller type to endow university where
liberal education may not be impaired,
what is to be thought of those who send
their children to such institutions? In
spite OF the ratings against the policy of
the Chicago University it is an interest
ing fact that its success was instant and
that its popularity has not suffered from
the disclosures in the Bemis case. 1t is
true that the Indifference of the public does
not excuse the wrongdoing of trusts of
the Standard Oil character but it is equally
true that it is unjust and self-deluding to
charge all the blame to those with whom
we should share it. The continuance OF
wrong In the absence of its toleration
would be impossible. and the toleration of
wrong is connivance in it. There is not a
continuing wrong in this country that
would not be righted if the moral tone of
the people were sufficiently high and not

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
A WOMAN'S PLEA.

SHE THINKS OTHER WOMEN OUGHT TO STAND
BY MRS. DURRANr.
To the Editor Of The San Francisco Cal,--S1R !:
Even among barbarianS, l think, be her son in
nocent guilty, mothers agony would be
held sacred. The question is now not, Are we re.
fined? but Are we civilized? This in view of
the position the City has held toward Mrs.
Durrant. Paint it out for yourself one of
tha mothers days, seated there in the court
room. Lay your head on such pillow as her
head must occupy each night. Let any mother
put herself in her place just for moment and
feel the sick anguish that comes to her at the
very thought.
Barbarians add to the victims torture. Civ
ilizatioD should do all possible to ameliorate it,
What have we done to soften the agony of
one of those days in court? We have criticized
her bonnets and the make of her dress and
some of our papers have, day after day, carl
catured her in her woe. We have tried to
make her feel that she has been singled out.
and, though in the midst OF 800 OOO,people
must stand alone.
What was at stake? Nothing but her bows
life, we knew, so we invented all kinds OF vile
stories about him and published them in the
morning papers and again in the evening
papers. To be sure we took them all back mex {
day, but she got the stabs and blows Just the
same and we had made ourselves secure as
regards her nights rest.
When she grew pale from her long-protracted
agony we taunted her with losing the tone she
had in the early part of the case.
We did seem to be civilized, and that not
very long ago. but from city that produced q
"Woman's Congress-" with all its brain and
soul, how have we sunk to such hardened
state that through all these months of this

OHANDLER'S WAR TALK.

Senator Chandler's prediction of a COM
ing war with England, accompanied by q
declaration that while the conflict might
be long delayed it ought to be soon begun,
| is remarkable only because it comes from
Senator who is supposed to speak with a
full consciousness of his official response
bility. From a private citizen it would
have occasioned little or no remark mas
much as it expressed no more than the
thoughts and sentiments common to a
great many Americans.
There can be no doubt the people of this
country have begun to watch with sus-
picion and angry irritation the aggressions
OF Great Britain in this hemisphere. Our
own grievances over cffenses committed
against our seal fisheries and the Alaskan
boundary have by no means been the
principal causes of the irritation. The en-
croachment on the territory of Venezuela,
the bullying methods pursued at Corinto,
and the attempt to take possession of the
Brazilian island of Trinidad, have been
more aggravating than any action aimed
directly at ourselves. These aggressions
have shown an apparent contempt for our
influence in Central and South America,
disposition to ac: in violation of our inter-
ests and in spite OF our remonstrances.
1t is possible, however, that the irrita-
ton so rapidly growing into feeling of
| avowed hostility to Great Britain may be
| caused largely by the popular conscious
ness OF the futility and Indifference of the
Cleveland administration. If the people
knew that the Government at Washington
was IN the hands of strong, resolute,
patriotic men, animated by American
impulses and sympathes, sharing the SEN
timents of the people and watchful to
| guard every present interest and every
historic policy of the country. there would
| be less irritation against the British Gov
| ernment because there would be more
confidence in our own. The Cleveland
| administration, thel lefore, is really Great
ing a war feeling in the country by its
evident unwiillngness to stand by and sus-
tain American rights. It promises to be
| another illustration of weakness leading to
a war that strength and courage might
have avoided.
Whatever be the sources of the popular
feeling, it is certain the American people
are fully prepared now to support an ag-
gressive policy in defense of all American
interests and the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine in its widest application.
This feeling is certainly shared to greater
or less extent by Congress. There may
| not be many Senators willing to speak so
frankly as Senator Chandler, but there are
not few who think as he does and would
vote with him if the question should arise.
Ii the British Minister warns his Govern
ment of this feeling the crisis may be
passed without trouble, but if Salisbury
goes on his way and acts upon the belief
that Clevelandism is Americanism, the
war that Chandler predicts may be nearer
than we think

ROUND VALLEY CRIMES.
Awful Story of Blood.

shasta courier.
The San Francisco CALL has published his
tory of Round Valley and its crimes 1t is an
awful story of blood, violence, perjury and in
justice, and that such could have taken place
in this State seems incredible. For the good
name of California the fullest investigation
should follow and justice terribly scourge the
guilty. To sum up THE CALLS charges the valley
has Leen fraudulently and forcibly held from
public settlement and goboled up until mainly
under control OF one man-White, the cattle

states that murder was a very common instru-
ment. 1t charges that White had around him

The recital OF the matter is more thrilling than
the production of the pen of fiction, and among
the crimes LAID to this gang is the killing of

redress to-day, and will cry, unless appeaSed,

AN AUGMENTED DIGNITY.

The most jealous partisan in the Repub-
lican ranks of California must admit that
the bringing of the Republican National
Convention TO San Francisco would ad-
vance the dignity of the party in TINS State.
1t would have that effect in any State in
which it should be held, and that undoubt-
edly is one of the salient reasons of strug-
gle among the States whenever the time
comes around for the making of selection
The isolation of California-its remoteness
from the National concerns of the party
and its removal from the elevating inhu-
ences which closer contact with the
broader interests of the country would
assure-would be naturally expected to
produce an undue magnifying of local
political interests and the creation OF
injurious personal ambitions. which fail
TO reflect and nourish the sense of dig
nifty and National responsibility which the
principles of the party should inspire.
BY the nature of things California should
be Republican State, because the princi-
pie of free trade is repugnant to its inter-
ests and hampering to its advancement.
1t is not meant by this to suggest that the
Republicans OF California should be willing
to adopt any course for the good of their
State which might be injurious to the
Nation, but merely that the Republican
idea of protection finds here the strongest
kind of food for its nourishment, and that
hence it behooves the party in California
to develop all the dignity and strength
possible.
In spite of many adverse circumstances
the State has generally proved itself Re-
rDt1b blipon This &c, II, ~
the interior, where higher sense of polit-
lcal dignity in all parties has prevailed
than in San Francisco. In this City the
Democrats generally hold the ascendency,
and we know the reputation which that
ascendency has given the City. We
know, too, that with proper appreciation
OF the responsibility which Republicans
should cherish this condition of affairs
need not have existed
The ennobling effect OF a National con-
vention of either party held in San Fran
cisco would be highly valuable in raising
the general political tone of the commu-
nifty in all parties. The moral effect of
such convention is tremendous. And
what city in the country needs such an
elevating influence more than San Fran
cisco? Good citizens OF all political
faiths, inspired by the dignity of close
touch with the great affairs of the Nation,
would be moved to take greater interest
in politics, and one of the first evils to
which they would turn their attention
would be the shady elements which have
dominated local politics in the past. We
trust that no good citizen will overlook
this important view of the case and that
all will be urged to secure the desired re-
suit by helping to bring the National Re-
publican Convention to San Francisco.

MR.. VINING's OBJECTIONS.

We shall await with great interest the
written statement which Manager Vining
of the Market-stre Railway Company
has promised to submit to the Merchants
Association in explanation of his reasons
against the issuance of transfers to the
kearny-street electric line. He has fore
shadowed one of his reasons in the declara-
ton that if transfers are issued from the
Market, the Clay and Sacramento and
either the Mission or the Howard street
lines to Kearny street they will enable
passengers to travel Indefinitely in cir
cult on one fare. This looks a good deal
like seizing upon an excuse not to issue
any transfers to Kearny street at all from
Market, which is the main consideration.
In other words, because the merchants
have asked too much they shall have
nothing.
Well, let rs admit that the objection
which Mr.. Vining has urged would prove
true-what then? What proportion of the
public would employ this advantage of in
definite travel? Manifestly the number
would be too small to be taken into &C.
count, and manifestly, also. the company
enjoys public benefit of great value, and
in simple equity should be willing to make
so small sacrifice as that. Furthermore.
the curtailment of this possible indefinite
travel on one fare would not increase the
company's revenues, as such travellers
would not pay additional fares if required :;
they would simply not travel. The only
hardship to the company would be the
hauling of q limited amount of dead
travel.
But is it impossible to devise such a
transfer ticket as would not permit of
such indefinite travel? We cannot be
made to believe it at present. 1t would
be simple, when conductor is aeked for
or offers transfer check, to require the
passenger to designate his destination.
The conductor could then punch the
check accordingly, and it could be carried
through to the destination, instead of
being taken up as at present. and punched
| from one line to another along the route !;
or transfer check with coupons could be
used. Either plan would effectively limit
the distance travelled.
Both of these systems are in universal
use on steam railroads having branches
and connections, and we cannot under
stand why they should not be available on
streetcar traffic. The coupon plan espe-
| cially would be much quicker and simpler
! for the conductors, who under the present
| system have to consume p great deal of
time in punching. This plan would be
much more reliable also, as it is easy to
make mistake in punching time limit.
| More than all this, the people along
Kearny street bitterly opposed the intro
| duction of an electric line, and they
| yielded only when the Market-street Com
! pany gave its promise that transfers
would be given from Market street. This
| promise has not been kept.

SOME PRESIDENTIAL LsPECULATloNs
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Ex-President Harrison may already be
counted out of the field. Ex-Speaker Reed,
with his programme of reciprocity with the
cheap silver nations and tariff discrimination
against the gold standard nations, is becoming
an unavailable candidate as the free silver
epidemic declines, and as the danger of protec-
zionist agitation grows more apparent. AT the
same time the shrewd head shakings in regard
to Governor Mckinley and his high tariff are
more frequent, while Senator Allison is forging
TO the front as the safest candidate on the Re
publican slate. Senator AlIisons moderate
and conservative position on the tariff in the
great change of industrial conditions and his
sound record on the money question give him
decided advantage over his mpetitors.

Audubon was born in Louisiana, on May

The movement in favor OF a short Presiden-
tiaI campaign is becoming formidable Party
organs. statesmen and politicians in large
numbers are pushing it along, and the inde-
pendent newspapers are unit in its support.
It is not difficult to understand why the man.
ayers of local campaigns prefer long canvass
for the longer the struggle the greater the
amount of cash for them to handle. Experience
has shown that there is probability OF per-
sonal profit in the manipulation OF campaign
funds There is no rigid system OF accounting
in such affairs, and it is fact that men OF
questionable character push themselves into
places that afford opportunities Tor gain when
ever hot campaign is on.
