VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS.

The people of the San Joaquin Valley
fully realize that their prosperity depends
upon the construction of the Valley road.
The action of MERGED in sending COM
mittee to interview the directors on the
subject of the offer which MERGED should
make indicates the earnest desire of that
city to secure competition in transporta-
ton. While nothing definite was decided
upon at the meeting, MERGED has learned
that if its offer is sufficient the road will
pass through that city. However great a
hardship the people may think subscrip-
tons to the road will be, it will never do
for them to leave out of view the fact that
whatever they give will be an investment.
and that the amount of this investment
will largely determine the extent of the
benefits which they will enjoy.
1t is interesting to observe that Eastern
contractors are in the field in competition
with local contractors in the construction
OF the fine steel drawbridge across Mormon
Slough at Stockton. 1t is difficult to see
how such competition could be possible.
The extensive rolling-mills of San Fran
cisco produce work of the very highest
character, and though they are handi-
capped on the score OF expense for raw
material, 1T is hard to see how this could
offset the much larger expense that East
ern builders must bear in TRANSPORTING
their finished material to California. We
sincerely hope that our own mills will Sc

IN THE WILDERNESS.

In an interview at Portland General
Wade Hampton is reported to have as
serted that the South is solid for free
silver coinage; that the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will not adopt free
silver platform; that the Southern States
will give their votes for the Democratic
ticket, and that Grover Cleveland stands a
good chance to be renominated These as
sertions seem to contradict one another,
but there can be little doubt they are fairly
accurate. The apparent absurdity of say
ing the South is solid for silver and would
yet give its votes for Democracy and the
gold standard with Cleveland as candi-
date, is NO more absurd than the actual
Democratic situation. Moreover, it is not
OF the Southerners only, but Of the whole
breed OF stalwart Democrats, these things
might be said. The party is involved in
hopeless confusion. 1t looks about for a
leader and sees none save Cleveland.
Therefore, though it regards him as the
author of the disasters of the party, it
must perforce follow him, for there is no
one else to follow.
This condition of affairs gives an aspect
of seriousness to the report that the Presi-
dent may be renominated. Two weeks
ago the suggestion of such thing was
everywhere received with ridicule. 1t was
regarded as an idle fancy, Matched in the
brain of a Washington correspondent, who,
in the dullness of that city, was compelled
to invent something to write about. OF
late, however, there have been repeated
evidences that in some Democratic circles
the idea is favorably received. General
Hampton is one example of this. An
other was furnished a few days ago at a
meeting in Atlanta when one of the lead
ing speakers not only advocated the re-
election of Cleveland, but even declared in
favor of electing him for life. Several
Democratic papers, moreover, have COM
mended the scheme and, in fact, Mr..
Cleveland is now more frequently spoken
of as the next nominee of the party than
any other man.
Of course, all this does not imply that
Cleveland is at all likely to be nominated.
There are still among the Democrats some
leaders who are wise enough and strong
enough to save the party from such politi-
cal suicide as that. Still it is of passing
Importance as an evidence of the utter de-
moralization among the leaders and their
present inability to furnish the party with
either policy or q candidate. German is
silent as clam, Hill talks nothing but
buncombe, Vest and Voorhees, have been
lost in the shuttle. There is nothing of the
party leadership in evidence except the adj
ministration. Is it any wonder that the
rank and file. dazed by disaster and be-
wildered by perpleIities, should turn in
despair to the Moses who brought them
into the wilderness and beseech him to
lead them out?

IMPROVING MARKET STREET.

The adoption by the Board Of Super
visors of the report Of the Street Com
mittee, to include in the next tax levy the
sum OF $3.50, 900 to pave Market street from
the ferries to Valencia with good btu
mino1s rock, subject only to the condition
that the property-owners pay half the
expenses, brings this important and much
needed improvement within the range of
probable accomplishment. Some work
will be required, Of course, to get the
property-owners to consent to bear their
portion of the expense, but if this work be
wisely directed and theoretically carried
on it can hardly fail of success.
1t will not be overlooked that while
some of the owners OF the street frontage
can easily pay the amount the improve
ment would cost them, there are others
who cannot do so without a great effort
1t remains, therefore, to impress upon the
latter class that the effort is worth making
The improvement will certainly be a
profitable benefit to them. If they wish
to sell the property they can get better
price for it after an improvement than
before. If they wish to lease it, they can
get larger returns after the improvement
If they wish to use it they will have the
advantage of easier hauling for teams and
other conveniences for carrying on their
business. Thus, under any circumstances,
they will derive an individual profit as
we'll as that which results to the citizens
at large, and will find the money ex-
pended for the improvement a good in
vestment in every respect.
So much is needed in San Francisco in
the way OF street improvement that every
effort made in that direction is matter Of
public concern. Even small improve
ment upon side street would be noted as
an evidence of the tendency toward the
accomplishment of the great work all over
the City. In the case of the proposed
paving of Market street, however, the con-
templated improvement is itself so great
that there will be a widespread interest in
it, without reference to the relation it
bears to the general progress toward better
streets. The whole City will be to a large
extent benefited by the improvement of
the great central thoroughfare, and the
people will note with close attention the
course pursued by the property owners in
regard to it. There NAV be no loud ex-
preston of adverse criticism upon those
who for any reason object to paying their
share of the expense, but we may be sure
there will be the heartiest commentator
of all who are sufficiently public-spirited
and enterprising to help the good work
go on,

BISMAROK'S ADDRESS.

The address of Bismarck to the Agra
rians last Sunday sounds more like the
speech of some hot-headed young aristo-
GRAFT than that OF an old and experienced
statesman. Had it been delivered to a
crowd of workingmen instead of q COM
pany of opulent many-acred landowners
the speaker would have been regarded as a
demagosue trying to stir up strife, and he
would have had reason to count himself
lucky if the police had not arrested him
before he finished.
The Agrarians, or the land-ownlng lords
of Germany, have found their interests of
late 10 be opposed to those of the people of
the cities. They have felt themselves par
ticularly aggrieved by the commercial
treaties negotiated by the Government and
strongly supported by the people of the
larger cities, led by those of Berlin. Bis
marck not only denounced these treaties,
but spoke contemptuously of the residents
OF Berlin as people without an acre and
without blade of corn to their Names"
He called upon his hearers for cheers for
the Kaiser as 'the first landed proprietor
of the kingdom" and declared his wish for
a revival of the old and noble custom of
the reigning Prince receiving no salary,
but living on his own ancestral lands. and
added that he would like to apply similar
condition to the members OF the Ministry
also.
An address of that kind is not calculated
to teach wisdom to the Agrarians or to
incline them to seek some basis of agree
ment with the merchants, the mechanics
and the workingmen of the cities. 1t is
more likely to excite the class pride among
the owners of ancestral lands and lead
them to assume that they alone should
constitute the governing power of Ger
many. On the other hand it will :rritate
the great class of intelligent citizens who
are not landowners and who have already
sufficient reason to regard with more or
less aversion the claims and pretensions of
the hereditary landlords, who in Germany
are more dominant and domineering than
in any other country of Western Europe.
When the political parties of country
correspond with divisions OF caste and
property there is imminent danger of civil
disturbances. This danger was aggravated
by Bismarck's claim that the Kaiser repre-
sents the landlord class rather than the
people generally. 1t suggests to such
radicals, revolutionists or republicans as
may be in Germany another reason for
hostility to the Government. With class
prejudices added to the heat of political
differences, and the Emperor himself re-
garded as the head of particular party
and class, the German people will need all
their philosophy and cool-headed good
sense to avoid being hurried into a strife
that may have serious consequences to the
empire. Bismarck, so wise in action and
SO diplomatic in foreign affairs, has never
been noted for wisdom of speech nor for
good judgment in dealing with home poll
tics, and it would seem that in his old age
his worst faults are getting the mastery of
him and leading him by foolish plumbers
to impair the permanence Of the mighty
work of his prime.

which our prosperity has proceeded, there
IS every reason to believe that this, one OF
the most important works that 1T has I'M
dertaken, will be equally beneficial.
One OF the investigations to be made by
this department is into the relative values
OF the native woods of California for
structural purposes. Such tests have
never been adequately made, and as many
OF the building woods are peculiar, losses
have been increased through a lack of
exact knowledge concerning them.
Hitherto builders, architects and en-
glneers have had to proceed more or less
bllndly in much of the important struc-
tural work that has been done in the State.
mat construction of all kinds has been
SO satisfactory is no argument against
the value OF perfect appliances for testing
material before it goes into construction.
Inc State contains an amazing quantity
ana variety of building stones, from the
softest sandstones up through states to
marble, granite and the various forms OF
lava. 1t is in the crude handling of these
INFESTED materials that most of the mis-
takes have been made. The university
VIII not only keep us straight hereafter in
this regard, but will determine the value
OF lnnumerable quarries which have never
yet been tried. This will be one of the
most valuable branches of the university s
work.
Another important direction which this
work will take is the testing of material
Tor road construction. AS yet there are
ardly any scientifically constructed roads
and streets in the State, and yet there is
wonderful abundance of native material Of
many kinds that might be employed for
this purpose. Most prominent among
them is bituminous rock, which under
proper treatment such as the university
will teach US to give it, will likely become
the great paving material OF the future,
and give US highways at small cost, and
superior to those in any other part OF the
country. The present movement for good
roads and streets is the beginning of a
great revolution in this regard. And now
that the State has fathered the movement,
both by the creation OF a bureau of high
ways and by department of the univer-
slty which can cooperate with it, we have
every needful means for pushing the work.
And in view OF the fact there are so many
worthy men needing employment there
could be no more useful or beneficial form
in which we could exercise our abundant
resources of material, energy and means.
The people are to be congratulated for
having university which has both the
determination and the ability to assist in
the great work OF first understanding and
then developing the resources of the State.
