POLICE CHANGES.

The changes made in the police force are
no more than the ordinary course of events
in world where everything is mutable
and where one generation is incessantly
giving place to another. The retiring cap
tains-Douglass, Stone and Short-have in
their time rendered good service to the
City and can well afford to look back upon
it with satisfaction. They have, OF course,
made mistakes and have frequently been
the subject of criticism, for the Office of
police captain is perplexing one, but on
the whole they have done their duty well
and have materially assisted in making the
police force of San Francisco one OF the
most effective in the Union.
The new captains-W Whitman, Robinson
and Spillane-are not unworthy successors
of the veterans whom they have replaced.
All of them have had many years expert
ence on the force and have risen from the
ranks by intelligence, force of character
and a faithful performance of duty. There
can be no question but that Chief Crowley
will find them to be able ana jealous assist
ants in the work of policing the city, re-
straining violations OF the law and main
tanning the pea ce and order of the COM
munity.

A GENIUS DIES.

The death of Richard Morris Hunt, the
greatest of American architects, has come
at time when the remarkable genius of
the man seemed only just to have reached
its prime, for he was but 67 years old,
though for forty years he had led his pro-
fession in this country. He was possessed
Of a remarkably rugged frame and had
done prodigies of labor, but he overlooked
the fact that at 81 man must think of
being careful, and he has died from over
work.
Hunt belonged to the fine old school OF
architects who thoroughly grounded
themselves by an exhaustive study of the
worlds masterpieces in Europe and the far
East. Apparently he was never fully re-
conciled to that bold American spirit
which made his noble art subservient to
commercial demands. 1t is true that be
designed the Tribune building in New
York, which, as one of the first of the
'skyscrapers" introduced into that city,
received generous share of badgering;
but his Tribune building, with its lofty
and graceful dome set just inside the cop
ing and serving to complete the general
tower effect OF structure which other
wise would have been only chimney, dis
closed the redeeming hand of the artist
and resulted in the production of one of
the handsomest structures in America.
But he seemed to avoid as much as pos
sible the demand of American CONNER
cialism for monstrous creations, and
evidently preferred such lines of work as
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-02

the Lenox library and elegant private
residences. This means to say that he
loved and respected his art, and sought
always to produce the finest forms of
which it is capable. Conspicuous among
the wilderness of vast acreages under roof
at the Columbian Exposition was the
Administration building, which he de-
signed, and which was marvellous COM
bination of the dignified and the ornate,
with not a false line in all its intricate
development.
He was to America what Sir Christopher
Wren was to England, and we doubt that
he has successor in this country. The
time may come when the present Ameri-
can idea of sacrificing art standards to
utilitarianism will be regarded as an ad-
mirable form of architecture, but that is
putting forth long arm of hope into the
future. For the present architecture of
this country, as manifested in business
houses that pierce the sky, exhibits the
bending of the artistic knee to the power
of money, and architecture is not the only
art that cheerfully performs the genu-
Election, and often at the sacrifice of its
own pride, glory and nobler usefulness.

POOL-SELLING.

Now that the work OF reorgan izing the
police force is about over and the unset
tied condition of affairs has been replaced
by the installing of the new men in their
places we may reasonably look for more
vigor in the suppression of some of the
notorious evils of the City. The gambling
game of pool-selling in open viol alton of
the City ordinance is one of these evils
that requires immediate attention. 1t has
been fully exposed by THE CALL hereto
fore and the police can hardly find much
difficulty in obtaining evidence to convict
the offenders.
If the lottery is the most sneaking and
insidious way of enticing people to
gamble, illegal pool-selling is the most
brazen and insolent. 1t may be impos-
sible to completely eradicate the lottery
evil, but it ought not to be difficult to
crush the pool-selling. The one may be
carried on in secret, but the other has to
be more or less open and public. In San
Francisco it is now carried on in the most
fragrant way, and affords the newly organ
lied police force good opportunity to
display its energy.

SPANISH AMERICAN TRADE.

The Revista Hsspdno- americana, an illus
trated monthly journal published in this
City, has just issued an extra edition of
thrice the usual size, which will compare
favorably in every respect with any similar
publication of the summer. The edition is
particularly interesting to US inasmuch as
1t Is designed to attract the attention of the
merchants of Spanish-America to Cali
fornia, and thus obtain for our manufac-
turers and producers generally portion at
least of the important and valuable trade
of these wide extended countries.
Every far-reaching effort made to pro-
mote trade between California and Span
ish-America is deserving of cordial en-
couragement and liberal support. Through
out Mexico, Central and South America.
there is consumption of large amount
of goods brought from Europe that might
just as we'll have been obtained here. The
trade with Mexico in particular is worth
working for and advertising for. That
country. already fairly prosperous, is
rapidly advancing in industry and wealth
and will furnish a continually increasing
market for wide range of products that
can be produced in California. 1t lies con-
tiguous to us. We have speedier COM
munication with it, both by water and by
rail, than has any other temperate coun-
try. We ought therefore to control that
market, and every good advertising journal
or commercial traveller who goes there to
build up trade is rendering good service

THE PRESS OF THE STATE AP-
PROVES THE CALLS" REPORTS
OF THE DURRANT CASE.

The CALL has taken another popular step
1t will report the Durrant trial so that Its
readers will be able to follow the case and not
waste time on the reading of immaterial mat
ter. This is to be commended, and we predict
that THE CALL will lie in extraordinary de-
mand, especially while the case continues.
Its one-minute synopsis is a gem.-Vallejo
Chronicle.
THE CALL declares its intention to report the
Durrant trial without pruriency. That is the
sort of thing that good people have long been
wanting to see in San Francisco journalism,
and now there is a chance to determine
whether they are in earnest about it, and
whether there is enough of them to pay.-Ala-
media Argus.
The San Francisco CALL seems really to have
enlisted for the war in its fight against un-
cleanness. Its latest promise is to this effect,
that it will waste no space in reporting the
Durrant trial, that the reader will be given a
comprehensive understanding of the case with
out his wading through useless columns of un-
interesting and tiresome details, that all objec-
tionable features will be eliminated to the
greatest possible degree. That's right. Thus
far in newspaper dealings with this case, there
has beeen more of desire to crafty morbid
and prurient tastes and gather the nickels this
exercise would ensure, than to meet the re-
quirements OF normal minds.-Napa Register.

wheel will receive and utilize it. There
seems to be no good reason in mechanics
why this idea might not be developed sue
cessfully, though it is not essential in view
OF the constant direction of our coast
winds.
In this matter as in so many others,
Callfornians show remarkable happiness
for laying aside the traditions and usages
to which they were accustomed in the
East and making original developments of
the unique conditions which surround
them here. Instead of employing the
wonderful advantages which our constant
winds offer we adhere to the primitive and
costly production of steam which we
learned in the East, and which is followed
here at an expense many times as great as
that required in the East. The wind power
OF San Francisco now going to waste could
undoubtedly be employed for all the pur-
poses for which steam is used and at cost
probably less than that which the use OF
coal at 25 cents ton would entail.

UTILIZING TIE WIND.

The ingenious suggestion made by A.
w. Manning in yesterdays CALL for
stationary windmill for utilizing the
power of our constant winds is a step
beyond the suggestion made by THE CALL
not long ago that there might be found in
these winds a solution of the fuel problem
of the City. AS Mr.. Manning truthfully
says, "the wind in this City and on the
coast blows in one direction as a rule about
ten months IN the year." and for that
reason he has designed a machine fixed
firmly and facing the general source OF the
wind. 1t is a galvanized iron windwheel
set on horizontal axle. and may be pro-
vided with automatic friction Stats to
prevent too high speed. 1t will turn
equally well if the wind blows from the
contrary direction, and at the ends open
ings and other devices could be easily
arranged for catching and utilizing the
wind from whatever source 1t may blow.
The power developed by these wheels
can be used in raising water or sand,
which in turn can be employed to run
machinery by means of turbine or an
overshot wheel, or it can generate elec-
tricity for direct use or for accumulators.
Mr.. Manning asserts that wheels so con-
structed can be made to develop from
] to 500 horsepower. This can be easily
believed. The most attractive idea of his
suggestion is the adoption of the stable
form of wheel. The almost universal
type Of windmill used in California is that
which automatically adjusts itself to the
direction of the winds. This requires a
more complicated, delicate, expensive and
easily deranged mechanism than sta
tionary wheel, which may be made very
cheaply and will be practically in
destructible.
The mills in use here are th ose made for
the necessities of the Eastern States, where
the winds are not constant. The Italian
and Chinese gardeners in the vicinity of
San Francisco for years have been using
stationary mills with perfect success, and
yet no one seems to have taken the hint
from them. These mills are exceedingly
cheap and primitive affairs, made by any
carpenter with wood and provided with
cloth sails. They do not cost one-fourth
as much as the patented affairs in ge eneral
use and are liable to none of the disorders
which affect those elaborate machines.
One form of windmill which has been
tried, but not with good success, is tur-
bine wheel with perpendicular axle and
external fixed Stats so arranged that no
matter what the direction of wind the
