THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA.
At last. after three years of sincere and
tireless agitation by the RECoRD-U MON,
during which it took not a little punish
ment from people who failed to look
ahead, the proposition of this journal
that the State open its road-metal quar-
ries and furnish the prepared matter to
the people at about the cost of produc-
ton, ia to be realized.
The surveys have been made by Com
missioner Maude and the Bureau of
Highways and the Prison Directors have
as will be seen by our local columns
this morning under The law advertised
for bids for the necessary machinery. So
that within few weeks we shall see the
good roads era really dawn for Cali
fornia, for it has turned out, as we fore
cast, that the railroad company has sec
onded the effort of the State and agreed
to transport the road metal at an ex-
ceedingly low figure.
So it comes about that that for which
this journal so long labored has entered
upon the first stage of accomplishment.
Here was the propositions; IDLE power.
idle labor, idle material owned by the
state on one side. On the other, idle
labor, idle industries due to idle roads,
in turn idle because of deplorable condi-
tions, idle or profitless farming because
Of lost time in transportation, abnormal
cost Of movement, and unbearable taxes
necessary to keep bad roads in poor re-
pair.
Now it will be found that the one side
will Justify the other in putting idle labor
at work in building good roads; road
taxation will fall down because perma-
nent roads are less costly in construction
and for maintenance. and as they enhance
values tax rates will decline; new popula-
ton will be induced to come in, the ad
vantages of the town will be added to the
retiracy of the country; the DRIFT toward
town life and away from agricultural and
rural living will be perceptibly checked;
time will be saved, movement quickened
and greatly cheapened; the personal equa-
ton represented by rapid travel by the in-
dividnal on the wheel will receive it's due;
the town will be benefited correspond
ingly with the country, since their inter-
ests and prosperity are common and in
extricably interwoven-allt this and more,
not all at once, to be sure, but the influ-
ence of its beginning will be felt from to-
day, when the first official advertisement
OF the States intention will go forth.
And SO we enter upon the beginning of
a new era, the era Of decent public high

WHAT rumpus the sensational press
Of San Francisco did kick up, to be sure,
because poor boy or two is allowed to
peddle candies on the ferryboats and
thus make an honest living. The way
the eSouthern Pacific Company vas abused
for permitting this peddling was a caution
to unrepentent sinners. But who shall
protest as hotly against the offense of
boys who thrust the daily press of San
Francisco under the noses of an un-
offending public? If boys are nuisances
VINO sell candies on lines of travel, what
are they when they peddle bawdy news
papers on the streets of city and force
indecent pictures and vulgar print, masked
behind the title of ''the press of San
Francisco" upon the attention of every
one who walks the streets of the me-
trOpOlis?

NOTE AND ENT.

The coming great yacht race will be novel
in one respect, namely, the Defender Will
have as one of its navigators an American
woman who is admitted to be the most ex-
pert yachtswoman in the world. Indeed it
is said that Herreshof had her constant coun-
sci and advice during the building OF the new
boat, and that without her some of the best
features OF the yacht would have not been
built into it. But suppose the Defender is
beaten, will not Miss Iselin be the most
chagrined woman IN America?
Colorado is TO be congratulated. The good
sense of the people allowed the Cripple Creek
bull fights to be so slimly attended that the
promoters of the "tiesta" VIII lose money
by the scheme. The bull tight is the relic OF a
period in civilization that is not creditable to
mankind. Wherever a people manifest love
for such brutal sports, they are already on the
downward slope and ia the decadence OF
civilization.

GOLD RESERVE GOING DOWN.
The Bond Syndicate did not Stand to
the Treasury Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ga telegram re-
ceived at the Treasury Department this
afternoon states that 81, 800, 900 in gold
has been withdrawn for export from the
sub treasury at New York. Slight gains,
however, were made at Chicago, and
other points aggregate s186,0Oo, so that
the true amount of the reserve at the
close Of business was $98,613, ,529. The
cash balance was s181, ,577, 16S. The treas
ury officials maintain the usual reti-
cence on the subject but there is no doubt
that they were somewhat disappointed
and surprised that the syndicate per-
mitted the business day to close without
making any deposit. From the first the
officials have confidently believed that
500, 900, 900 was the lowest poiut which
the syndicate would permit the reserve
to reach, and hence their inaction at
this time is not understood. There is.
however, no alarm felt as it is expected
that the syndicate will come to the res
cue on the first sign of uneasiness on
the part of the public

SECRETARY HESTER'S REPORT.
The New Commercial Year opens
With a Smaller Movement.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 6.-Accord-
ing to Secretary Hester's weekly state
ment, the new commercial year of 1895
1916 opens with a smaller movement than
last year when the crop was 1901, ,251
bales, but is within 81 bales Of the sea-
son before last. The statement covers
the first six days of the commercial year
up to to day, inclusive, making the
amount of the new American crop
brought into sight during that time 33, =
532 bales, against so, 108 for the same
six days of last year, 80, $50 year before
last, and 80, 600 in 1892.
Foreign exports forathe new year have
been 5,242 bales, against 1854 last year
and the total takings of American mills
North and South were 27,172, against
34.170, the latter including II, 152
by Northern spinners, against 49,
746. Since the close of the commercial
year stocks at American ports and the
twenty-nine leading Southern interior
centers have been 1, lis bales, against an
increase for the same period last year OF
1904, and show an increase Of 81, 738
bales under this date last year.

DURRANT MURDER TRIAL.
Evidence Yesterday All Regarding the
Murder of Blanche Lamont.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 6.--The
taking of testimony in the trial of Theo.
dore Durrant is proceeding slowly. Dur
ing the three days in which witnesses
have been on the stand all that has been
established is that Blanche Lamont is
dead and that her body bears marks of
violence. The police and detectives
are still gathering testimony to
strengthen the prosecution. 1t is now
said the defence will rely largely on the
improbability of the prosecution proving
its case bevond any doubt. To-day's
witnesses in the trial were introduced by
the prosecution to complete the evidence
that Blanche Lamont was murdered.
Policeman Riehl, who accompanied detec-
tive Gibson to Emanuel church on the day
Blanche Lamont's body was discovered,
testified to the condition of the corpse
and to the presence of blood on the floor
near the girls head, on the belfry stairs
and on the floor where it had dripped
from the steps. He stated there was no
evidence of a struggle there, the infer
ence beng developed by the defence
that the murder was committed down
stairs, but the body was carried
to the tower. The defense will try to
show that one man could not have borne
this burden unaided. The prosecution
will try to prove that Blanche weighed
only 110 pounds, and that Durrant could
have carried her with little difficulty.
O. G. Noble, uncle of Blanche, was call
ed by the District Attorney to again es
tablish the Identification of his
niece, both in the church and subsequ-
emily at the morgue. J. F. Hallett, a
morgue deputy, told how he and an
other deputy had taken the body from
the church to the morgue. Policeman
7. J. Coleman swore that on April IA,
when searching in Emanuel Church for
evidence of the murder, he found two
door knobs which had been broken off
the beltry door and afterwards con-
caaIed
