TIMELY SUPPORT.

1t is pleasing to observe that the Exam-
liner, in its issue OF yesterday, comes for
ward in encouragement of home enterprises
and in advocacy of the consumption of
homemade products. From the earnest
cooperation of all the agencies which
might be employed to these worthy ends
there undoubtedly will issue the most sat
isfactory results.
The movement began with the inception
of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad, and
from that moment it became irresistible.
The time was ripe for it. For many years
our people had borne the heavy burden of
a transportation monopoly that depressed
development and chilled the aspirations of
men. Up to the time when the valley road
was set afoot he was deemed courageous
soul who would even dare assail this bur-
den that rests upon US, but now that the
enterprise has swung forward with such Wig
orous determination, all men who love the
State and are willing to assist in its ad-
vancement are coming cheerfully to the
front under the animation of the spirit
which that enterprise expresses. This I'M
dertaking stands for the principle of de-
veloping the resources of the State, and
carries with it the proposition that the
consumption of home produced articles is
essential.
1t would surprise every Californian to
reflect upon the articles of his common
use that are made in California, and to
ascertain for himself what proportion of
those which he uses are made outside the
State. Does he assure himself that the
blankets which he buys are made in Cali
fornia, or the shoes, groceries and all
things else that contribute to his physical
well being? After he has done this, and
probably ascertained that out of ten arti-
cles produced in California, he is using
only one, he may then make a rough cal
culation of the enormous amount of money
that the people of the State are annually
sending away, and may astonish himself
with reflections upon the wonderful advan-
tages that would accrue from the keeping
of this money in the State.
II his imagination is at ali adequate to the
task he might picture the factories of Cali
fornia compelled to enlarge and multiply,
and then observe how miraculously idle
men shall have found employment, towns
grown into cities, the rich valleys bios
somed out into thousands of new farms
and orchards, and many fine industries
made possible by the climate and as yet
entirely untried brought forth into pros
porous activity. He might imagine how
this accretion of population and wealth
and strength and confidence would solve
all the physical problems that now prove
hampering-the fuel difficulty overcome
by the utilization of the natural forces that
exist SO abundantly all about us; railroads
owned by the people and tapping every
fertile corner of the State; extensive irriga-
ton works, rendering the whole State
free from the uncertainties of rain, and
innumerable other benefits accompanying
them. Surely results so great coming
from a course of conduct so simple, are
worthy of an effort to secure them.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

.'A man never knows when he has good
thing" said Capitalist Alfred E. Davis to a
CALL reporter in the Lick House yesterday.
ssNow, to show you what | mean. In May,
1s49, landed at San Francisco on the clipper
ship Gray Eagle, having sailed around the
Horn.
High" said Mr.. Davis, clearing his throat,
as he frequently does when conversing.
''WeI bad partner named Thomas with
me, and the first thing did was to borrow a
cart and harness and hire mule from man
named Tom Kittleman. Hanged If 1 know
whatever become of him. High. Anyhow, I
agreed to feed the mule and give Tom half OF
the proceeds"
"What did you do with the cart and mule?''
"Hauled anything and everything l could
get my hands on. At that time the water came
right up here to Montgomer-Well,th that's an
old story. High? But together we cleaned up
good deal of money"
''How much?''
Hundred dollars day for four weeks. Made
it hand over fist. Got So for hauling trunk
across the street. Beat anything you ever saw.
High? Now to continue. My partner got it

SAFE MEDI0CRITY.

The bullet aimed at Ii Hung Changes
brain by fanatical Japanese served only
TO modify the splendor of the great states
mans shining beauty; but now that the
idea of making him serve as target has
been suggested, if is not unlikely that the
attempt will be repeated if possible For
suggestion is potent force. One weary
person who yawns in church may set the
whole unweary congregation yawning; and
now that the example of assassinating con-
spicuous personages in the Orient has
been suggested, Ii Hung Chang may not
be The only one whose life is in danger.
The assault upon him seems to have
been as utterly wanton as the assassination
of Garfield and Carnot. 1t was even more
SO, for LII Hung appeared in Japan as a
whipped enemy suing for peace and offer
ing to pay handsomely for it. Every sem
timent of manly chivalry that the con-
queror may feel for the enemy who has
yielded after a courageous fight was due
him from every man in Japan. The po-
tency of this sentiment generally extends
even to the vicious and fanatical, and
modifies more or less even d homicidal
insanity.
old one that he who becomes conspicuous
runs risks, and more generally, that the
most prominent things attract the most at
tention. Nature has fondness for aver
ages, and on every hand are seen formida-
BILE dangers attending a departure from the
normal. Giantism is regarded by scientists
as disease, and giants rarely live to a ripe
old age. If mental giant happens to be
free from inherent weakness he has vet to
run the gauntlet of extraneous dangers,
and these are nearly as various in degree
and character as the forms which greatness
assumes. They may range all the way from
the cruel criticism which breaks the poet
heart to the pistol which is loaded for the
statesman. Whether these dangers NAV
be deliberate part of natures police
scheme to warn men from overlapping the
wall which confines mediocrity, is a thing
for metaphysicians to ponder. Certainly
we know that evolution is born of travail,
but that is racial affair; and with equal
certainty we know that if an individual de-
velopment which lifts one man above his
neighbors is part of the scheme for the
evolution of the whole race, it is also not a
part of the scheme to assure the safety of
the individual.
Prince Ii cannot outlive the disgrace
which has fallen upon him for having
failed to lead the most ancient and pop
ulous of all the nations into those ways
that, besides bringing great internal bene-
fits, make successful resistance against out
side dangers possible. Had he died by this
assassin's hand he might have gone down
in history with whatever patched and
shredded fame such "martyrdom" would
have brought. If the spirit of martyr
abides in him he might yet acquire pale
halo and win the sympathy of the world
for China if he would hire some Japanese
to kill him.

GETTING ABOARD TOO LATE.

As the CALL has heretofore declared an
unfortunate accompaniment of every
earnest and honest movement of the peo-
pie to suppress abuse and free themselves
from oppression is a swarm OF enterprising
individuals who swing themselves into the
movement from anything but patriotic
and unselish motives. The Chronicle, in
yesterdays issue, while correctly showing
that Judge Hebbard's decision declaring
the Bush-street railway franchise forfeited
was good law, took the pains to say,
possibly through an inadvertence, that ''it
is refreshing to find Judge who does not
take his law from the law department of
the Southern Pacific of Kentucky, and
would render his decisions in accordance
Herewith" We do not suppose that the
Chronicle intended to set Judge Hebbard
upon a pedestal of shining virtue or to
create the impression that he is above the
moving influence of personal considera-
tons.
1t hardly matters, however, for Judge
Hebbard has made record that the Chro7a-
icte doubtless overlooked at the moment,
and it is a record so firmly established in
the minds OF men hereabouts that it is not
likely to be forgotten If in assuming this
right attitude in the Bush-street franchise
case Judge Hebbard imagines that it
will counteract the effect of his con-
duct in the past, he is paying a
poor compliment to the manliness and in
telligence of San Francisco. And if he
imagines that at this late day he can i'm
press this community with his importance
as its friend, and can thereby secure the
benefits which such friendship will bring
to worthy men, he has overestimated the
credulity of those who have learned caution
from experience.

in enriching ordinary gas when deficient
in Illuminating properties is expected to
be very great.
1t would appear from these experiments
that the contest between gas and electricity
Tor Illuminating purposes is about to enter
upon new phase. Electric power en-
ployed either by the process reported from
New York or that of North Carolina may
result in the producing an Illuminating
gas too cheap for electric lighting to con-
tend with. Certainly the experiments
promise well, and Boston may soon have
her water gas problem solved without hav-
ing to return to coal gas.
