SKYSCRAPERS OF WOOD AND
BRICK.

The proposed ordinance of the Supervisors
limiting the height of new buildings to 80 and
100 feet, like almost every interference of gov
eminent with natural liberty, is ill-advised
and may be mischievous. Builders have q
natural right to build as far up into the sky as
they can hoist building material. That right
can only be abridged when it is shown that
beyond q certain height buildings are danger
Gus or injurious to thick neighborhoods There
are just two ways in which tall building may
be injurious: In city where the streets are
narrow long rows of tall buildings may shut
out the sunlight from their more lowly neigh
bors, and in case of fire the upper stories of tall
buildings may be beyond the reach of fire.

AS to the former Inconvenience, the streets of
San Francisco are generally broad, ana the
pavements and small houses set along the
sidewalks are not exposed to be thrown into
the shade by tai buildings except for brief

Montgomery and Bush streets feared that it
would shut them out from the sunlight and
impair the value OF their property. That has
not happened, though neither Montgomery nor
Bush can be described as broad streets. Market
street might be bounded on both sides with
ffteen-story buildings without throwing any
houses OF consequence into the shade.
AS to the question of fire it is clearly the duty
OF the municipal government to prevent the
erection ofstructures which cannot be reached
by stream OF water from the hose of the
department. 1t would be right and proper to
require the builder of such an edifce to pro-
vide means OF extinguishing fires, either by
establishing water reservoirs on the roof, or
by providing store of fire extinguishing gas.
No man has right to endanger his neighbors'
property by setting UP a building in which
fire could not be controlled. But the Super
visors will find that the owner of tall build

HOPE.

We sailed and sailed upon the desert sea,
Where for whole days we alone seemed to De.
At last we saw dim, vague line arise
Between the lonely pillows and the skies,
That grew and grew until 1t Wore the shape
OF cove and inlet. promontory and cape;
Then hills and valleys, rivers, fields and woods,
Steepes and roofs and village neighborhoods.
And then thought, Some time shall embark
Upon sea more desert and more dark
Than ever this was, and between the skies
And lonely pillows shall see arise
Another world out of that waste and lapse, .
Like yonder land. Perhaps-perhaps- perhaps J!

THOUGHTS OF WESTERN EDITORS.

The restoration of the Mckinley tariff and
the reciprocity treaties will knock the monthly
Democratic deficiency higher than Gilroy's
kite. Nothing else will do it. And it will
keep the gold reserve above the $1,000 900
point. Nothing else will do this. No bond
syndicate can do it very long at a time The
only way yet discovered to conduct success

Claimants to the Antrim millions are becom-
ing quite as numerous as the army of vision
airy heirs who fondly hoped to get something
out of the Janeke Jams estate. Dead-sure heirs
to shares of the Irish estate boil bling up all
over Southern ,California, and all they will get
for their fond hopes will be the excitement of
anticipation and the envy of acquaintance
who have no expectations.-Los Angeles Times.
With a road to introduce us to the outer
| world the hermit life of the coast would be no
longer possible. The medicinal springs alone
would attract attention, and a time of healing
would begin with some advantage to our peo-
pie. Not that we would fleece the wealthy
sick, but health is always worth paying for and
they could find it here.-Halfmoon Bay Ad-
yocate.
Preach the doctrine of good roads on every
occasion. Great bodies move slowly we are
told. Those interested in better highways GER
tainly constitute great body. Ultimately it
will move, but 1t behooves those who take an

sional kick as well.-Marysville Appeal.
When public opinion gets educated to the
point that it shall arise and demand honesty
in the public press it will get it, but that kind
of honesty will not be brought about by stop

restrict our possibilities, but to enlarge them.
Laws .curtailing progress and hampering en-
terprise are not for the public interest. Sound
judgment dictates the fullest play of the pro-
gressive instinct. If capitalists see their way
to build fifteen or twenty-story buildings. they
should be encouraged to do so, so long as they
inhict no injury ON their neighbors; if any one
wants to build tower of Babel in the parks,
he ought to be patted on the back. No one can

Boiling Democrats.

Screeds against independence in politics are
common nowadays in the Democratic organs
in the Southern States, but they seem to be of
little effect in Maryland and Kentucky, the
States where the signs of such independence
are the most in evidence. Almost every day
sees some prominent Democrat boiling the
ticket in one both of these States, and the
prospect of Democratic defeat in both grows
as the election approaches.-Spri Re-
