PATERSALIss Is on rapid march to

children Of the free schools in New
York city are now carried to those
schools and brought back home in ON
nibuses at the expense of tbs taxpayers
of that city. Between the plutocrats
on one side and the boycottsrs on the
other, the lot of people in moderate cir.

GENERAL LoNGsTREEr, in mis- speech
at Chickamauga yesterday, developed
into full blown lingo, and expressed
an ardent desire to whip "all the world
and the rest of mankind" if they don't
come down before the gun of this gov
eminent, as the coon did before that of
Captain Scott. If the General had
been es keen set on fighting the Union
army at Gettysburg SIS he is to fight
England now, he might not have had
occasion to speak yesterday.

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED.

The matters which vitality affect tho IN
terests Of California and that will come
before the next Congress are these! The
Nicaragua canal, the adjustment of the
Government debt of the Pacific roads. the
adequate protection of mineral lands and
the making of intelligent and applicable
irrigation laws. All of these. except per-
haps the matter of mineral lands, have II
National Importance hardly second to that
which concerns California Already the
Democratic Congressman OF California nre
declaring what they intend to do OH some
ot these matters when Congress- Assem- bles.
We have not been informed that these in
tentions even purport to express the pre-
vailing wishes of the people.
All these things greatly increase the inn
portance of bringing the Republican Ma
tional Convention to San Francisco. There
is already talk that Mr.. Huntington aims
to be present when the next Congress as
sembles in order that he may have u hand
in the making up OF certain committees.
There may be no truth iIf these rumors,
but it can be easily understood that in the
absence of perfect National understand
ing of the matters in which Mr.. Hunting
might be potent for harm to this part of
the country.
There can hardly be n doubt that he will
oppose the Nicaragua canal and fore
closure of the Governments mortgage on
the Central Pacific. In the absence of
very energetic work on the part OF our
people ana in the presence of Mr.. Hunt
ington's history ii can hardly be expected
that his influence will be employed in
Washington unselfishly ard for the best
interests of the State. 10 whatever ex-
tent his influence may operate with the
Congress, and however ,:remediable the
action of that Congress ilSay be with refer
ence to the railroad deb* and the broader
and more vital idea o. overland freight
charges, other important matters will re-
main open for study and mastery by the
National Republican PARTY.
The strong popular movement for the
advancement of California and the press
ing outside influence and interests which
are reacting upon the State are producing
an exceedingly involved condition CT al
fairs, and creating more and more neces-
sity to specialize the work of advancement
and defense. Small issues will arise which
will tend to distract attention from the
greater ones which confrot us. Energies
so much needed in broad affairs are in dam
ger Of being expended In directions where
they will not do the most good. These are
considerations to be kept constantly in
mind, and the greatest of them all is the
need of instructing the Nation concerning
the National Importance of the things
which are so directly vital to California.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-11-20

the ocean road, and equally bad condition
of that part of the AImshouse road which
opens upon the park, and the absence OF
complete grading and pavement of Seventh
avenue. These essential links in the chain
are at present broken, and the purpose OF
the association is to mend them. Consld
cradle money will be required and 1t
should be produced in generous amounts.
Very properly it should be done by sub
scription, as the principal heneiiciaries
will be contiguous property-owners, owners
of carriages and owners OF bicycles. The
bicycle clubs have an opportunity to do
some effective work in furtherance OF the
enterprise.
The only thing lacking to make the plan
absolutely complete is the leaving out OF
the eastern terminus of the Corbett road.
At present part of the outlet into the es-
tablished streets of the City is over private
land, and as a consequence the City does
not keep that part in order. The wretched
condition OF this short stretch practically
destroys one OF the most wonderful drives
in the world Doubtless the association
Will attack this problem in good time, but
il is one that might well come within the
province of the CITY authorities.

THE BOULEVARD ASSOCIATION,

An organization of recent birth in this
City is the San Francisco Boulevard and
Driving Association, which is just now be-
ginning 20 make its energy and influence
felt. An important plan upon which it
has decided to concentrate its present
efforts is to transfer Seventh avenue into a
handsomely paved driveway from the
Preside to the park, and On the south side
of the park to put the Almshouse and
ocean beach roads into proper condition
and then extend the ocean drive down the
beach to the San Mateo line. This with
Van Ness avenue, Lombard street, Mellow
ell avenue. the park, the Almshouse road,
Golden Gate avenue and the various other
roads which the new system would tap,
would open a splendid network Of drive
ways which, with the Corbett road, would
cover great number OF the fine and pic
turesque highways OF the peninsula.
1t would enable buggies anu carriages to
reach the 1ngleside racetrack over any of
the following roads: The San Jose and
Ocean House roads, the Coroett road, the
Almshouse road and the ocean boulevard.
All of these, particularly the Corbett,
Almshouse and ocean boulevard roads, are
exceedingly picturesque.
The association has appointed COM
mittee to solicit subscriptions for carrying
out this great scheme. The fatal defects
IN the system of roads as it exists now are
the bad condition OF the ocean terminus of

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.

The Board of Supervisors has taken a
long step forward in adopting an ordi-
nance calling for bids for the construction
OF crematory for burning the City's gar
bage. The sanitary disposition of garbage
is very important. Burning is perfect
solution of the sanitary phase of garbage
disposal, but at the same time garbage has
q very high value as fertilizing material.
In recent issue THE CALL showed how
Manchester, England, is treating its sewage
by a scientific process tina: renders the
matter available as a fertilizer while re-
moving its noisome and noxious proper
ties. 1t is now in order to show what
Manchester is doing with Its garbage. The
data have been furnished by William F.
Grinnell, United States Consul at that
city.
In 1886 the corporation bought the Gar
rington moss estate" 600-aere tract of
wild moss and bogland, 209 acres of culti-
waited moss land, 9 acres of roads, etc.,
making total of 100 acres, at cost of
$184, 927, to which was added $155, 72S, for a
light railway, roads, drainage, rolling
stock, livestock, building and other pur-
poses. Nearly the whole of the moss land
bage and street sweepings. The city cult
Yates about 400 acres and lets the remainder
to various tenants, including nurserymen
and market gardeners.
During the twelve months ending July,
1894, the city realized $146 an acre from the
crops which it produced. The recently ap-
praised value of the property is far in ex-
cess of the original cost with the subse-
quent expenditures added. The average
amount of refuse taken from the city and
used to fertilize the farm is So, 900 tons.
1t is wonderful to read with what scien-
tiic accuracy and intelligence the material
affairs of Old World cities are conducted.
But then. such thing as boss politics is
unknown there. The only way N which
the refuse of San Francisco is economically
employed is at Golden Gate Park, where
the street sweepings are used as fertilizer.
However great the benefit which thus ac-
crues, the harm done in securing it more
than offsets its value, for this utilization of
the sweepings is enjoyed at the sacrifice to
a railway monopoly of an injurious right
of way for track to the park. Manches-
ter built its own railway for this purpose.
This is not to suggest that the Supervis-
ors might do well to change their present
plan for the disposition of garbage, but it
is always useful to know what vastly bet
ter governed cities are doing.

SUCCESS WITHOUT OFrENsE.
A CONTEMPORARY DRAWS ATTENTION TO TIL
CALLS ADVANCEMENT.

CONTEMPORARY DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE
CALLS ADVANCEMENT.
San Luis Obispo Tribune.
We are under obligations to Mr.. Charles NJ.
Shortridge of THE CALL, for his courtesy in per-
mitting us to use the cuts which originally ap-
peared in that paper of several members of the
order of Eiks, who visited this City the other
day.
1t gives us the opportunity to call the atten-
ton of our readers TO the excellence OF the
pictures and the material advance which has
been made in this department OF newspaper
work, especially by THE CALLs artists. Until
quite recently newspaper cut proverbially
presented good grounds for suit for libel
which was only fairly 20 be avoided by omit
ting any statement that any particular indi-
vidual was intended to be represented. No
label, no recognition. no libel. But things
have changed. THE CALLS illustrations are
always artistic and eminently satisfactory.
But THE CALL in all it's departments has
vastly improved under its new management.
1t was always good newspaper, but it was
dull, and that was fatal. Mr.. Shortridge has
touched it with his own fire and tits very much
alive. Further it stands as demonstration
that even metropolitan daily may achieve
the widest popularity and an immense circula-
ton without being an offense to decent house
holds, without devoting columns to details of
foul crime, without invading the sanctIty of the
home or outraging the sensibilities of helpless
citizens. The country press rather claim Mr..
Shortridge as their representative and are glad
OF his success, glad TO see THE CALL grow and
prosper. glad to call attention to the massive
structure that will be its magnificent monu-
