a ROASTED RALPH.

The amazing audacity of Julian Ralph
IN attempting te--discuss so profound and
various subject as transportation in Cali
fornia is ably exposed in this weeks issue
OF the WaUe. Harper's Weekly, which pub
hshed this absurd product of Mr.. Ralph s
fecund Imagination, is the first periodical,
so far as we know, that has ever commits
stoned him to write upon any profound
subject, and the dismal result OF the ex-
pertinent will probably be sufficient
warning against its repetition.
While Mr.. Ralph has touched the truth
at few points, the general effect of his
contribution discloses perception so shall
low, bitterness so vindictive and a draft
upon sources of information SO clearly an
tagonistic to fairness, that the loudest
demagogue in California may reverently
lift his hat to the superior genius OF Mr..
Ralph. The editor of Harper's Weekly may
be superbly Indifferent to the fact that
such an article as this, written by a man
the least qualified to discuss it intelli-
gently, may hurt California, by reason of
its misrepresentation, and he may be con-
tent to take his chances on punishment in
future life for wrongs committed in the
flesh, but it is somewhat hard to realize
that the courtesies of a generous welcome
have been repaid with that peculiar form
OF appreciation which gentlemen do not
mention unless they are willing to fight.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

While group of old-timers were discussing
the early-day period in the Occidental Hotel
yesterday jim Brazell, mining expert,
dropped in, and after listening TO the CONVEX
sstion said 10 a disin terested bystander:
"Do you know of anything quite so produc-
tive of full-grown lies as the period when the
water came up on Montgomery street? Why,
it seems to me, and 1 came here in 1873, that
some 700 men were the first to land where the
Postal Telegraph building now stands; and
the worst of it was that they all got into ID
foot Whitehall boat. 1 believe there are at
least 10000 men who paid 90 cents for an
onion and twice as many who are still talking
about ifty-dollar slugs being as thick as
nickels are now. You bet, the opportunities
for quick, appalling, iron clad romances can be
found in conversation regarding the early
days.
''The other day heard man say that the
street was paved here in 1865 with plug ia
bacco for q distance of eighty feet. They tell
that fellow sent three shiploads around the
Horn, and when it arrived there was hardly
anybody to eat it, SO they concluded to use it
for street pavements.

LIBRARY BUILDINGS.

The stately building, noble in architec-
ture and beautiful in the glow of stain
less marble, which has been erected in
Stockton for public library by the nau-
nificence of the late DR.. w. 2. Hazleton,
ought to be lamp unto the feet and an
inspiration to the minds of the millionaires
and of the people of every city an CaIifor-
MIA.
In many things are the cities and towns
of California equal or superior to those of
similar size in the East, but in respect to
libraries and art galleries they are woefully
inferior. Art galleries, indeed, must wait
for a fuller development of wealth and
culture, but for library buildings there is
no need of waiting. We are reading peo-
pie. Even the New Englanders do not
read more nor a better class of books than
the Californians. The demand for books
on the part of the people has been sutfi-
Gent to cause the establishment of libraries
in every part of the State. These libraries.
however, in nearly every instance are badly
located or insecurity housed. We need
everywhere library buildings stately, noble
and beautiful as the one at Stockton, and
for these we ought to be able to look, as
most Eastern cities have looked, to the
millionaires who, having made their money
in the community, are willing to erect for
themselves monuments that will keep their
names in honored remembrance forever.
Much as might be expected of million
aires, however, it would be nobler in a
community to erect a suitable library
building for itself. New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago have magnificent
libraries erected by the generosity of mill
ionaires and these are civic ornaments of
which the people are proud. Boston has
no such evidence of the public spirit of her
millionaires, but she has juster cause for
pride in the great public library building
recently opened, which was erected at the
expense of the city in response to the en-
lightened demand of the people them
selves.
San Francisco alone, among the great
cities of the Union, has no library building
of any note or Importance. Much has been
done here by private munificence, but in
this respect there is sad lack Like nearly
every other city in the State we lack a
noble edifice for storing the volumes that
contain the memorials of history, the
records of science and the imperishable
thoughts of genius. The building at
Stockton is not only a monument to one
mans wealth, but suggestion to the
whole State. What city in California will
be next to house its library in halls of
marble2

A SPLENDID IDEA.

The scheme set forth in yesterdays
CALL to construct grand boulevard be-
tween San Francisco and San Jose is one
of the most cheering of recent evidences
that the pride of our people is reused
San Mateo County, which has fine roads
and some Of the most beautiful towns
and homes in the State, gave
birth to the proposition; Santa Clara
County has cheerfully accepted it, and
no doubt San Francisco, which would
enjoy the greatest benefit of all, will
join in the enterprise. The scheme con-
templates skirting the bay from San Jose
to Colma, and then swinging westward to
the ocean beach to meet the ocean boule-
ward now being constructed by the Park
Commissioners. This will give access to
San Francisco through Golden Gate Park
and Golden Gate avenue.
The scheme is alluring. BicycIers are
the keenest judges of good roads, and to
the shame OF San Francisco it must be con-
fessed that in making the run to San Jose
they almost invariably cross the bay and
use the splendid road maintained by Ala
media and Santa Clara counties. The
San Mateo and Santa Clara parts Of
the road down the western side of the
bay are kept in that perfect condition for
which the highways of those counties are
famous: but when the San Francisco
County line is reached one encounters dust
in summer, mud in winter, and ruts. hum
Knocks and chuckholes in all seasons.
With the exception of Golden Gate avenue
San Francisco has not single decent
means of vehicular exit, and even that
thoroughfare is permitted by the authori-
ties to be crowded with drays and buck
sters carts.
There are many famous drives in
America. The one that most nearly APP
proaches our contemplated boulevard is
the shellroad at Mobile, which stretches
for miles along the bay shore 1t
is made of broken oyster-shelIs, which
form a smooth, white and perfectly
clean road. Great magnolias line it
on either side, their branches mingling
overhead, adorned with those graceful
tufts of Spanish moss that lend so ex-
quisite a charm to the forests of the South.
and when the trees are in bloom the de-
licious odor of the blossoms completes the
fascination. The climate of our peninsula
is blander even than that of Mobile, and
the opportunities for the arboreal and
floral adornment of our boulevard are
vastly wider.
1t is inevitable that in the years to come
there will be continuous city from the
Golden Gate to San Jose. That part of the
wealth of San Francisco which seeks means
for an outing always has selected and al
ways will select country resting place on
the western side of the bay. Itseems strange
that the vast wealth already settled along

ing short of miracle can now prevent his
performance of plain duty. The moment
is so critical, and the interests involved so
far-reaching, that popular feeling of Sc
curity will be assured only when the bill
has been actually signed. So far as the
CALL is concerned, it has never entertained
the slightest fear on the subject. The
only feeling we have in the matter is one
OF sympathy for man placed in the
Governors position, in which he is called
upon to resist the most powerful appeals
to which any man could be subjected.
