THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

From the results of the British elections
on Saturday it appears the Liberal party in
England has gone to pieces utterly. Later
elections may redeem the situation some
what, but not much is expected. The dis
asters may rouse the Liberal leaders to
greater efforts, but Oh the other hand the
successes of Saturday will be sure to stimu-
late the Conservatives with an enthusiasm
more than likely to counterbalance any
thing the fierce courage OF despair may do
for the Liberals.
This overwhelming defeat of party that
so recently controlled Parliament is sur
prisiug, but now that it has occurred it
will not be difficult to find an explanation
of it. This is a world OF checks and bal
ances. Every advantage has nearly always
some compensating disadvantage. The
Liberals for many years have had the ad-
vantage of Gladstone's commanding in
fiuence, but with this came the disadvan-
tage that the leader grew to be greater
than the party, and now that he has re-
tired from politics, the party so largely
made UP OF his personal following goes to
pieces simply because it has no longer any
thing to hold it together in the face OF ad-
verse political conditions.
The elections in Scotland will of course
be more favorable to the Liberals than
those in England, for Scotland is the
Liberal stronghold of the kingdom, but
they will not be sufficient to turn the tide
of defeat. The next Ministry will be Con-
servative by big majority, and the Tories
of the party are said to be sanguine they
can dispen Sc with Chamberlain and the
Liberal Unionists, and organize a strictly
Tory Cabinet. This would be dangerous
game to try. The representatives of Ire
land and Wales are very sure to assist the
Scotch in helping the Liberals; and in the
face of such a combination Salisbury and
Balfour will hardly be able to get rid of
their undesirable ally from Birmingham.
The tremendous vote given against the
Liberals is curious when considered in con-
nection with the sweeping majorities given
in the recent elections in this country. 1t
seems we are living in an age of political
tidal waves. People are beginning to
think more and more alike. This is prob
ably only transient condition of politics.
If it should continue, however, the time
would not be far distant when popular
elections would no longer send to the halls
of legislation equally divided parties to
discuss political questions, but would
result in practically unanimous vote of
the people for representatives pledged to
carry ont a narticular line of action

OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

The Solid Eight in the Board OF Supervisors
have showed their hand again in the matter of
granting franchises. Having under considera-
ton the application OF the San Francisco and
San Mateo Electric Railway for franchise
from Sunnyside to Ocean avenue, and the
Marketstreet combination (Southern Paciic)
having also application filed for franchise
paralleling the other, the Solid Eight ignored
the San Mateo road application and proceeded
to the preliminary work of granting the octo-
pus what it wanted.
The four Supervisors who represent the peo-
pie protested and voted against this job to
more effectually chnch the Southern Pacific's S
power and freeze out competition, but it was
of no use; the clique that had been selected to
carry out the will of the Octopus never falter
in their subserviency. 1t is the same old story
of defeating the wishes of the people by the
"pull" of the railroad and agents that the peo-
pie have been misled into choosing. The
Solid Eight consists of four liquor-dealers, q
butcher, an optician, capitalist and aprinter
They are unworthy to be named. They are
sealing the helplessness of the City.

sentiment, who have shown By their record
that they are not to be bought or intimidated,
and who are consistent in their efforts to re-
duce municipal affairs to business basis, are

and A. B. Spreckels.-San Francisco Nerve.
The municipal crisis now confronting San
Francisco through the actions of the Solid Eight
in the Board of Supervisors has called forth O
ringing editorial in THE CALL. The great ques-
ton Brother Shortridge fails to answer is,
What are you going TO do about it? San Fran
cisco is so accustomed to elect to municipal
and State Offices men who promptly sell their
honor and the interests they are elected to de-
fend that any other style of official would ere
ate amaZement in the minds of citizens OF the
great metropolis. Of course it is obvious that
the Queen City of the Pacific Coast will never
attain any marked advance, either in trade or
population, while this sort of thing continues.
but vigorous action is necessary to a change
for the better, and editorial fulminations fall
unheeded upon boodlers of the metropolitan
type.-Sausalito News.
The truth is that the question of water sup
ply is now recognized as vital one all over the
country. Even San Francisco, which has long
groaned under the exactions of private cor
poration that furnishes that city with water, is
talking of going to the Sierras for its supply
and those who read the signs of the times do
not doubt that sooner or later the coast me-
tropolis will carry out this purpose.-San Diego
Union.
Mr.. Clevelands candidacy for third term is

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS.

Chicago proposes to have sub-sidewalk rail-
ways. According to the Record of that city
the space required will be eight feet in height
by eight feet in width.
At the curb line wall is laid from one end
of the street to the other. Under the other
side of the walk the curb wall is paralleled
with stone foundation for posts and fence.
On this foun dation and on the base of the curb
wall rails are laid.
Iron columns are set on the inner wall sup
porting girders level with the top of the curb
wall and marking the line between the side
walk proper and the so-called area space. A
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-15

wire fence connects the posts and separates
the railroad from the area space. This space
will be for stairways and entrances to base
ments, as at present. With the curb wall,
girders and bases of buildings for support, a
prismatic walk is laid for the purpose OF ad-
mitting light into the space below.
Passage from one side of the river to the
other is to be through tunnels under the river.
The plan contemplates depressing the street
near the river. This will add an additional
story to the buildings adjacent.
Electricity is to be the motive power. The
speed, the plan sets forth, will not be less than
thirty miles an hour and may in some cases be
as high as sixty miles an hour.
