grievances, but we imagine that it will
be sometime before the board secures

turned out, however, that he did not wish to
steal it, for he delivered it personally to the
manager. AS a reward he received $3.50 and
a horse and saddle.
The exact weight of the diamond is 9713l
carats, or about seven and one-quarter ounces
avoirdupois. 1t therefore weighs uncut nearly
hall pound 4 diamond of fair size for ring
weighs one carat.
In its present condition it measures three
inches in length, one and a half inches in
thickness, two and a hall inches at its greatest
breadth, and one and q third inches at its
least breadth. 1t is of beautiful blush color,
and is shaped like the broken-off end OF an
icicle.
The flaw in it is believed to be more serious
than is stated in the cable dispatch. 1t is
g black spot near the middle. 1t could be cut
in two, however, so as to leave out the
blemish. 1t would then make two of the
largest diamonds in existence. At the time OF
its discovery it was valued at 81 900, 900.
1t is at last positively known that the new
cup defender, now building by the Herreshofs,
is not to be centerboard, as viii be seen by
the following from the Providence Journal:
At the Herreshof Works. in Bristol, the lead
keel that was run nearly a week ago in the
south shop is in plain sight as the wooden
mold has been removed and good view can be
had OF it. 1t is of peculiar shape, and differ
ent from any lead keel that has been cast at
the shops heretofore. For such large amount
OF lead the company had good success in run
ming it, as there is not d flaw, seam or mar to
be found anywhere on its surface, which goes
to show the pains that were taken in making
the cast. The surface of the lead is still in a
rough state from the impression of the mold,
but that will disappear in short time, as
preparations are being made now to smooth it
off and finish it. 1t has been given out recently
in some newspapers that the deck or upper
part OF the lead keel was about 35 feet in
length, but it is now known that it is consider
ably shorter. AS stated before, the mass of lead
stands nearly feet in height, with the heft OF
the lead just forward OF the center, where it is
feet inches in thickness. The breadth of
the keel across on top is Ia inches, and at the
bottom it is four inches less.
The keel tapers from just forward of the CEN
ter to all points, the breadth of the forward and
after ends being six inches In shape it resem-
bles somewhat Cape Ann dory, only the for
ward end is rounded off, while the after part
takes diagonalform, and the lower part of the
keel has very slight curve downward. The
big chunk OF lead is solid. There is no hole in
it to admit the passage of a centerboard, and
all hope that the new cup defender will be
what has come to be accepted as the American
type-a centerboard-must therefore be aban-

plighted faith and willfully disappoints
public expectation. 1t is only from within
that the party can be purified. 1t is to the
eternal credit of the Republican party that
it has never lacked the virtue to discipline
itself. 1t was founded on moral principle
and it has never departed from that foun-
dalton. It has been betrayed by individual
representatives, but it has never failed to
call them to account for their conduct.
There are two ways of dealing with party
traitors; one at the polls, the other through
the medium of the press. The former is
effective for the future, but it is shutting
the stable door after the horse is stolen.
The CALL proposes to attend to the case Of
those Republican legislators at Sacra-
mento who are now ignoring and defying
the wishes of the party while there is yet
time to bring them to book. If there be
any possibility of turning them to the path
of duty and decency, it shall not slip for
want of effort on our part
If there are any timid or weakened Re-
pubhcans who fear that we are doing the
party injury or injustice by attacking its
recreant representatives, let them possess
their souls in peace. No party was ever
the worse for the counsel of a faithful
friend. The CALL has full faith and conf
denee in the Republican party, and loves
it too we'll to see it abused and betrayed in
its own house. The worst enemy of the
party is he who fails to act up to its prin-
ciples, and its best friend is the man or
the newspaper that shows that enemy up
in its true colors.

MINING, NOT GAMBLING.

The mining revival which now promises
to become feature of CALIFORNIA; pros
perity will be on different lines from
the methods recently pursued. Min
ing has become mainly a business re-
quiring large capital and the application
of scientific processes. The gold must be
sought in quartz lodges and deep gravel
leads. 1t is probable that the revival will
stimulate the invention of new processes
in the treatment of the refractory ores,
which, however abundant, have defeated
previous efforts at reduction as a business
proposition. Possibly electricity may have
a part to play in this connection.
All this requires money and time. If
capital from home or distant sources is to
take hold of the work it will look for sub
stantial investment. Mining operation is
one of the most legitimate of pursuits.
Mining-stock operation is apt to be some
thing very different. 1t is desirable for
the credit and success of our new deal that
the one should not degenerate into the
other. We have had enough mining-st
booms; enough of Pine-street exploitation
of the community. There have been, and
are yet, substantial mining properties
listed on the Stock Exchange and
handled by honorable dealers in &C
cordance with legitimate speculative
methods. But every old San Francis
can also knows that Pine street and
Pauper alley have repeatedly been the
scene of wild imitation of nonresident
values, in which speculative manipulation,
''inside points" and curbstone rumor have
combined to boost up some airy structures
until the kick of porphyry horse has shat
tered the unsubstantial fabric and buried
the hopes and fortunes of hundreds be-
meath its ruins.
We want no revival of that kind. Neither
do we want mining development that
will resolve itself into great operating COM
binations of stock companies and "milling
propositions" We want California, East
ern or foreign capitalists to go to the mines
in person. or by their trustworthy experts
and agents, to examine the ground, to in
vestigate prospects, to go into shafts and
tunnels with their eyes open, and to in
vest their money with a view of working
mine and not the speculative community.
The best bullion-producing mines of Cali
tornla have not been listed at the Stock
Exchange. They have been turning out
| gold year after year and enriching their
owners as legitimate business propositions.
There are opportunities for the develop
| ment OF hundreds more of the same kind,
and that is what our prospectors, mining
experts and capitalists should have in view
| in our new auriferous era.

STREET BEGGARS.

No man who has within him spark of
the virtue of humanity can consider the
hard fortunes of the poor without a feeling
of sympathy, and if the poverty is asso-
ciated with physical misfortune or deform-
ity the sympathy in generous minds is
always prompted to immediate helpful
ness. Out of this virtue there has grown
an evil. Its generosity has prompted fraud
to prey upon it and many deserving I'M
fortunate goes unhelped because there are
so many undeserving beggars to rob charity
of its aims before it reaches those who
need it most.
The wide recognition of these truths has
prompted enlightened communities TO make
suitable provisions for the deserving poor
and to restrain impudent and unworthy
beggars by the strong arm of the law. In
this respect San Francisco has permitted
her practice to fall below the level of her
enlightenment. Having prescribed by
law for the care of the poor and the sup
preston of street begging, her officials
have enforced neither the one nor the
other. We have not many street beggars,
when compared with the cities of Southern
Europe or of Oriental countries, but we
in an American community, and the CALL
has undertaken an exposure of them in
the conviction that it is high time to rid
ourselves of the stigma which their pres
ence upon the streets affixes upon the COM
munity, its law and its officers.
If the street beggars are deserving of
care and support, it is shameful that we
do not provide it in the proper way and to
the proper extent. If they do not deserve
help,it is shameful that we permit them to
practice fraud upon the generosity of the
charitable. In either case their presence
in conspicuous places on the streets is
disgrace to the City, and our laws are con-
demned. Why should the unfortunate
who needs the help of his fellow men, be
forced to seek it by daily begging upon the
streets? Why should the man abundantly
able to provide for himself, be permitted
to gain his living by whining for charity
instead of by work?
These questions admit of but one rightful
answer. Street begging, under any cir
cumstances, should not be tolerated Citi-
zens should refuse to make it profitable,
and city officials should be resolute in en-
deavoring to make it impossible. Our
whole street policy in San Francisco is
bad. 1t is the blot upon the metropolis
that mars its excellence and defaces its at
fractions. 1t is time the policy should be
changed and the streets made common
surate with the true dignity of the City.
Let us clear away all the street nuisances
from cobblestones to beggars. Let US pro-
vide comfortable homes and generous care
for all upon whom the misfortunes of the
world have fallen; ana for the persistent,
insolent, able-bodied street beggar let US
provide good wholesome cure in the form
OF work or punishment.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Elsewhere in this paper appears an article
published in late issue of the CALL on the
subject of bonding San Francisco for the pur-
pose of making municipal improvements. The
article is so general, so applicable to small in
terror cities as well as to San Francisco, that
we reprint it in the hope that our own people
can be awakened to the Importance of munich
pal improvement to such extent as to be
willing to bond the city of MERGED for that pur-
pose. The time has come now when MERGED
must go ahead or else be distanced in the race
for population and importance by her less
favored but more progressive neighbors.-

raised that bump in the bay for just that sort

whether it is wise for the General Government
to cede the island to the State and thus relin-

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

The late Moses Kimball of Boston, who made
his money as a theatrical manager in that city,
was an interesting character For many years
his ambition was to be Mayor, but the politi-
clans never took kindly to his aspiration. When
he was al Alderman, before the war, he voted
and spoke against allowing Daniel Webster the
use OF Faneuil Hall to refute the abolition ar
guments OF Wendell Phillips. Webster never
forgave kimball for this, and the incident
practically ruined Kimbau politically, though
he was sent to the Legislature after the occur
renee. He made many public requests in his
will.
Some years ago Frederick Douglass addressed
a convention of negroes in Louisville. He said
in the course of his remarks that he did not
think an amalgamation of the white and black
races desirable, the pure negro being, in his
opinion, the best of the race. While speaking
his eyeglasses continued to slide from their
