A GRAND CELEBRATION.

1t is incumbent upon the people of San
FRANCISCO to make the coming Fourth of
July celebration the most striking in its
details and the most splendid in its execu-
ton OF any celebration that has been held
In San francisco for many years.
While other cities and towns through
out the State have been displaying their
enterprise, and advertising their advan-
tages by means of fiestas and carnivals, the
City OF San Francisco has done nothing
during the present year in the way of a
ike advertisement and display. The near
approach of Independence Day suggests an
opportunity to concentrate in the metrop-
oils the spirit which during the past few
months has made such pleasing and prac-
teal manifestations of its utility in other
cities of the State.
The old idea Of Fourth Of July celebra-
ton might very aptly be revived upon the
present occasion. The procession used to
be made place for the display of home
industries and of the finest products of the
locality. Such procession at the present
time would do more than anything else to
impress our people with the extent and
the excellence of their own industries.
The decorations for the occasion might
also be distinctive in their representation
OF the arts and products of California.
The idea of triumphal arch over Market
street is an excellent one and could be car
ried out with quite an amount of elabora-
ton without very large expenditure. 1t
might well be given a certain degree of
permanence also and be so constructed as
to remain after the festivities of the day
were over as visible emblem of the en-
thusiasm of our people, not only for their
country and their liberties, but for the
greater San Francisco, which is to be.
Let US all unite heartily and work har-
moniously for grand Fourth of July cell
ebration. Let the rich give generously of
their substance to the end that it may be a
large and ennobling success. Let the fes-
tivities outlast the day if possible and con-
stitute for San Francisco a carnival of
pleasure and of profit like that which other
cities have already enjoyed. Let the occa-
sion have for it's highest utility the stimu-
lation of our people to new efforts and new
enterprises for the realization of the exist
ing hope and desire for better times in
California, and for its rapid advancement
in wealth and population and power among
the sisterhood of States.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Ex-Governor Romualdo Pacheco has Just re-
turned fIom prolonged visit to Southern Cali
fornia. Yesterday afternoon he escorted Gen
eral Young, United States Minister to Honduras
and Guatemala, to Golden Gate Park and the
environs of San Francisco. In the field of
diplomacy in Central America General Young
of Wisconsin succeeded Mr.. Pacheco, and be-
tween the two there exists firm feeling of
friendship. Mr.. Pacheco is now the Oldest
living Ex-Governor of California. The only
other ex-Governors alive are United States
Senator George C.. Perkins of this City and
Colonel II. II. Markham of Pasadena. Mr..
Pacheco is also the senior Native Son of Cali
fornia. General Vallejo held the rank Of senior
member of the organization until he died and
Governor Pacheco was second in line tor many
years

AN IMMUTABLE LAW.

Gravitation is silently performing its
part with the other agencies that are work
ing out the destiny of San Francisco. Few
of US realize how wonderful and irresistible
force it is or in what various and COM
plex ways it is manifest.
Let US first picture the interesting topog-
raphy that brings this ciyilizing law of
gravity into operation and makes San
Francisco the focus of its energy. The
great interior basin, 500 miles long and
60 miles in width, and composed of the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys,
slopes toward its central point from either
end and opens upon the bay OF San Fran
cisco through a breach in the Coast Range.
and the bay in turn opens through the
Golden Gate to the Pacific Ocean, and thus
to all the world. Besides this great fertile
basin are numerous equally fertile valleys
of smaller size draining to the bay. The
imagination is dazzled in contemplation of
the picture which these hundreds of square
miles will present when their matchless
agricultural resources are developed and
they are filled with the dense population
which they are capable of supporting.
But dazzling as this picture is-now i'm
aginary, but steadily working toward re-
atty under our very eyes-it has a frame
equally rich, for it is inlaid with gold.
Rising from ali sides of this grand stretch
of valley lands are foothills rolling grad
ually away for miles to the base of the cir
cumscribing wall of mountains, and most
of this that is not suitable to the produc-
ton of splendid fruits is rich either in gold
or timber. Back of this stretch again in
ft,a hfrh
stores of water and timber, with here and
there gold deep in the ground.
The development or loosening up of all
these vast stores of wealth brings gravity
into operation and their movement along
the line of least resistance begins. San
Francisco, sitting conveniently at the only
spot to which these movements converge.
takes all the treasures as they come-re-
arranges, refines, Classics and asserts them
and then distributes them to the nations of
the earth. Her function here can never be
crippled, rivaled or usurped. On the other
hand, all that comes from abroad to be
consumed in the sources of production of
her gravitation area must pass through
her hands. AS agent she orders it, inspects
it on arrival and then properly distrib-
utes it.
She is absolutely essential to this develop
ment and intimately feels and infinitely
reflects whatever may be the prosperity or
depression of her natural area of supply.
But she is more than mere agent; in re-
atty she is one of the two hands that are
dragging treasure out of the sunshine and
the earth. 1t is therefore clear that what
she does in wisdom for her partner in the
fields and mountains she is doing also for
herself.
No artificial conditions of any kind what
eyer can nrauanf this LAW Of crro vii fior,

A SERIES OF CONCERTS.
Scheel and His Orchestra to Give Pop
u1ar and Classical Music Each
Sunday.

Herr Fritz Scheel has set about reorgan-
izing his orchestra since receiving the con-
tract of supplying music for the Mechanics
Institute. They begin practice at once,
and will be in position to play publicly
soon, since the new orchestra is to COM
pose the cream of the local talent.
1t has been decided to give concerts every
the Columbia Theater. The programmes
will include popular as well as classical
music, and many OF the numbers will be
devoted to sacred subjects,
AS special feature, soloists, both vocal
and instrumental, are to be employed. In
this way variety will be introduced in the
performance. The first concert is to be
given next Sunday.

as Its gravitation territory is capable of
supporting in ease a population that will
