Literary Notes.

The therapeutic value of hearty
laugh is not half appreciated by vast
number or the weary travellers through
this perpleXing world. There is moth
ing that go penetrates the remotest IL
Der and hidden recess of the body as a
hearty, stirring-up laugh; if it shakes
the body, all the better. 1t stimulates
the blood to move more rapidly, and
gives an onward impulse to sluggish
veins. If you would add years to your
own life and the lives of those dear to
you, strive to make the home merry as
we'll as happy, and save up amusing

THE AFRICAN MINING CRAZE.

In the interview published in THE CALL
of yesterday Chauncey Depew confirms
the extraordinary story of the excitement
in London and Paris over the gold mines
of South Africa. He says upon the
authority of one of the best informed
bankers in Europe that in the past year
about hundred men have pocketed in
cash upward of $500, 900 900 by the sale of
stocks or shares of South African mining
companies.
Such operations as these can of course
have but one termination. There will be
a collape of the South African boom and
thousands of sanguine spectators will be
ruined. In the meantime mines in Cali
fornta that would yield rich profits will lie
unexpected for lack of capital unless we
can in some way direct this enthusiasm
for mining to our own mountains. This
would seem to be a good time, therefore.
to push our mining industries and inter-
ests to the front as much as possible
Certainly if one-tenth the money that has
been expended in the African mines had
been used in developing system of deep
mining by scientific process in Cali
fornia, the results would have been meal
culably beneficial and might have gone far
toward restoring the historic ratio of the
value OF gold and silver.

a BRITISH VIEW.

So much news concerning the financial
operations of the Cleveland administration
has come to us by way of En- gland that no
little interest has been occasioned by the
recent statement of the London Financial
News that there will be no new loan, The
NeWs says: "The reasons are political. Mr..
Cleveland knows that one of the first acts
of the new Congress will be a motion for
the impeachment of his Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Carlisle"
While this information is not more ac-
curate than that usually given by the
British press concerning American af-
fairs it has the justification that if it isn't
true there are nevertheless several reasons
why it ought to be true. Neither Carlisle
nor Cleveland is going to be impeached for
the secret deal with syndicate of bankers
by which the syndicate was so much en-
riched at the expense of the people of the
United States, but they will escape i'm
parchment only because the game is not
worth the candle. The action certainly
merits about the severest judgment that
Congress can put upon it and to that ex-
tent the British authority is correct. There
Will be no new loan from the syndicate at
any rate and the reasons are certainly
political.

AN HOUSE.

Just as the news is received that DAM
rosch has determined not to bring his
opera company to San Francisco for the
reason that lease of the Grand Opera
house cannot be secured, the announce
ment is made that enterprising local CAPT
talists have made arrangements to erect
splendid establishment of the desired kind
on Howard street, near Sixth. The assur-
ance is given that it will be perfectly ap-
pointed establishment, and as it is to seat
over 5000 persons it is to be called an opera
house, and is to have numerous accessories
needful to a frst-class establishment of
that kind, the whole difficulty seems as
good as settled.
The promoters of this costly enterprise
have somewhat astonished the public by
selecting the Howard-street site, for, it is
commended this is on the ''wrong side of
Market street." But there is more wisdom
in their choice than cursory glance might
disclose. The situation is in the imme-
date vicinity of the new postoffice site and
is in close touch with an elaborate system
OF streetcar lines which give access to
every part of the City. Few are aware of
the great extent of improvements which
have been going on recently in the Mission
and South San Francisco. 1t is in those
quarters that the growth of the City is
making Roadway and Market street is
rapidly building up westwardly in response
to that movement.
Again, the vigor shown recently by the
Soutlfside improvement clubs indicates
that an awakening has occurred which will
modify the entire character of the City,
West of Fifth street the business section of
the south side is on high, dry, well-drained
ground. Sixth street itself is one of the
most fourishing retail streets in town, and
is, already in the enjoyment of large
trade from the north side of Market street.
Taken all together, the reasons for the
selection of the Howard-street site for
grand-opera house seem to be highly
judicious. The most enterprislng residents
of that section may congratulate them
selves on the fact that their own deter
mination to make that part of the City
what it ought to be has undoubtedly been
an important factor in the selection of this
site for the one grand-opera house that the
City will be able to boast.

A PENAL OFFENSE.

Moral suasion having failed to induce
the Leading daily newspapers OF San Fran
cisco to abandon their pernicious habit of
aiding and abetting swirdling lottery con-
Germs, the efficacy of bringing them under
the operation of the more conyinc cling
methods of penal laws is to be given a
test. The attorney of the Civic Federation
has drafted an ordinance for submission to
the Board of Supervisors, and it appeared
in full in Yesterdays CALL. Although it
seems to cover the ground completely,
it is hoped that all the lawyers who
have the good of the City at heart
will give it their close study, to the
end that if it should be found to pos
sess a single fault which avaricious pub
fishers might seize upon for its nullifca-
ton it will be brought to light before its
presentation and enactment.
1t is deplorable that the necessity for
this step has arisen. 1t is proclamation
to all the world that some of the leading
newspapers of San Francisco, not yet
emerged from border conditions, have to
be brought under the force of penal laws
to insure their good behavior Better
however, this drastic measure than a con-
tinuance of the evil at which it is aimed.
The next interesting thing to watch is
the treatment which the Board of Super
visors will give to the ordinance and the
source of the outside opposition which
may be developed. An instructive piece of
news in this connection would be list of
the newspapers which publish lottery adj
vertisemenUs and the amount received by
each for the service. Already hint or
two has been dropped that THE CALLS
crusade against lotteries and the means
taken to. encourage them are distateful,
but that was known before it was sug
gested. 1t is conceivable that some of the

A PLEASING CONTRAST.

1t is pleasure to cell attention to the
manner in which the work is being done at
the southwest corner of Market and Third
streets. The old building on the lot, which is
to be succeeded by the Spreckels marble tower
(the new home of The San Francisco CALL
has been torn down expeditiously and without
dust or any other public annoyance. There
has been no obstruction of traffic, it will be
observed.
The ordinances as to fences and sidewalks
have been strictly complied with. and yet the
contractors have done their work as quickly
and apparently as easily as if they had taken
half the street for it. No doubt the new build
ing will be erected in an equally businesslike
and respectable way.
The operations at Market and Third streets are
in striking contrast. to similar operations we
might mention, in the case of which the con-
tractors have paid no attention to the rights of
the public or to the ordinances. But In no case
have they been interfered with.-San Fran
cisco Daily Report
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-17
OONSUMMATED.

That which was expected has happened.
The Solid Eight of the Board OF Super
visors have granted to the Market-street
Railroad Company a valuable municipal
franchise under conditions that render it
violation of the plain letter of the law.
They have done this in spite of the pro-
tests of citizens, the warnings of the press
and legal proceedings undertaken by the
Civic Federation.
The issue raised by this action is one
that should be promptly met by the clti-
zens. The proceeding taken by the Civic
Federation heretofore was to prevent the
carrying out of an attempt to violate the
law. Now an action can be brought on the
ground of an actual violation. The offense
has now been consummated. The issue is
made up beyond all doubt or cavil, and if
the statute on the subject has any meaning
at all then an official misdemeanor has
been committed which will work a forfeit
ure of Office on the part of every member
of the board who voted for it.
The features of this high handed action
on the part of the Solid Eight are too IA
miliar to the public to need recapitulatl ton.
They consist of a clumsy but bold attempt to
nulllIy or eNdue d law OI lue DIdlS requiring
all municipal franchises petitloned for to
be advertised and sold to the highest bidder.
This franchise was offered for sale under
conditions which practically excluded
every bidder except the Market-street
company.
As consequence that company obtains
for little more than $500 franchise worth
many thousands. We do not believe such
proceedings will be justified by the courts
We are convinced the statute will be up
held in accordance with the plain intent
of the Legislature and the express terms
of the act itself This, therefore, is the
time for the Civic Federation to strike. 1t
is no longer case of attempted violation
of the law. The act has been committed,
the offense consummated, and either the
law of California is farce or the Solid
Eight have gone too far for their own
good, but far enough to benefit the City by
forfeiture of the offices they disgrace.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-17
HAS MADE FRIENDS.

1t is pandering to a most depraved taste to
reprint and dwell upon the nauseous details of
the Durrant case as are brought out in the
trial now going on in San Francisco. If the
story had not been told and re-told with all its
hideous detail there would be an excuse in
printing the news, but since all who read the
papers have once waded through all the testi-
mony that is now being brought out, it is GER
tainly unnecessary for the larger papers to
give verbatim report of the trial.
The San Francisco CALL has made many
friends in this regard by giving simply a
synopsis of the case as it is laid open from day
to day, and then it gives a fuller account for
those who desire it, but carefully excludes all
the nasty and sensational parts of the testi-
mony.
Such report is all that is needed, and
while certain class may njoy salacious de-
tails and hair-raising sensational testimony it
is not within the province of decent news
paper to pander to such deprayed tastes, and
no editor with the least sense of whet is decent
will print such stuf.-Stockton Record.
