Rarely has the action OF a European
Government been so fraught with mean

conference looking toward the rehabilita-

Mr.. Coils P. Huntington predicts for
California five years OF prosperity. W
these he will take the profits OF four, and
those OF the fifth will help carry us
through the ensuing ten years OF adver-
sity. By the end of that time Mr. Hunt
ington will be singing psalms before the
Great White Throne. and there will be
noticeable improvement in the style OF
living of st. Peter.-Bierce.
Among the things the Half Million
Club should consider is the attack on
California in Harper's Weekly. No one
will object to what is said about the rail
road; we have always believed it tit
subject for censure, but the Journal of
Civilization has gone a long distance out
of it's way to assail the Golden Gate. And
while the railroad is sinful organization
and much given to guile, we think there
is little need of getting outside the
bounds of truth in speaking of it.-San
Francisco Post
The Countess di Vonne, who is to be
shipped back to France and given an al
lowance of $4,000 year, attri butes her
woes to the extravaganza habits which her
mother fostered. This cannot be called a
legitimate excuse, as any one reaching
years of maturity should be able to over
come early habits. If all the people who
in early youth laid the blame for their
errors on lack of parental control and
judgment, we should see great deal
more unhappiness and many more fail
ures in life.-San Francisco Chron icle.
The gallant San Francisco militiamen
who took patrt in the operations against
the strikers last summer have not got
their pay yet. This may seem rather a
long delay. but when the state or county
pays its debts anywhere within the Pc
riod of years in which claim is lawful,
the creditor is to be congratulated. The
militiamen are not likely to get their
money before next summer, the ma
at present clogged with the condensed
wisdom of the Legislature in the shape
of bills to make law imperative and taxes
heavier than ever.-San Franisco Wasp.
1t is all over now. The Count has got
his three millions to start with, and the
bride has twelve millions left. Fifteen
millions gone at one coup! There's a
consideration that ought to 60 straight
to the American heart. All that mone y
could have been kept at home had we the
practical lusiness sense to raise our own
mobiles. Inc rich are ready for the inno-
Walton, the press is controlled by the rich,
the women are on the right side, and the
males who don't have their thinking
done for them by the press. or are not
the minority. McEwen's Letter.
Under the new vacation schedule of the
San Francisco board OF education the va
cation during the year will amount to
eleven weeks and two days. Then the
pupils have, besides, forty Sundays
and forty-one Saturdays, upon which
they do not attend a school. This makes
the year. So our public school pupils will
attend school upon only 204 days in the
year. As the hours are short and the
curriculum an extensive one, it should
not be surprising. that many children
leave school with only smatterng of
knowledge, and that the suggestion OF
military drill for the boys sho uld give
rise to rather anxious inqiries as to
whether the drilling is to be done within
or outside tot school hours.-Report.
