FRIDAY NUARY rs, 1895
Sutro stands pat.
Another war cloud threatens.
The silver nations seem to be doing all
the fighting.
The Mayor means to make reform
local business.
An ounce of remedy is worth pound of |
investigation.
The Reilly bill is bad, but there may be
joker in the pack that is worse.
Mexico and Guatemala had better refer
the thing to Uncle Sam for arbitration.
While we are reforming the earth, we
might as well sweep the Grand Jury system
off it.
There is nothing for a grand jury to do |
that could not be done better fit were done |
openly.
San Francisco can be relied on to |
tumble to her duty without falling down |
at the job
Any legislator who has an ak ready to
lop off useless expenditures, will find the |
people ready to grind it for him.
"
The good government movement in San
Francisco, depends for motive power on
home steam and not outside wind.
If the legislators will look out for reform |
in the State government, San Francisco |
will look out for reform at home.
It is plain proposition that we cannot |
have the rightful rule of the people in San
Francisco without complete home rule.
1t is becoming more evident every year |
that we must have in Congress a Pacific |
Coast party for Pacific Coast improve

A Lexow committee to investigate the |
appointment, the labors and the salaries of |
the legislative attaches, would be popular
with the State.
As frozen oranges from Florida are said |
to be spelling the market in the East, they |
ought to be included under the head of |

With Mayor and a Board of Super |
visors resolved on municipal reform the |
legislative Lexows would have nothing but |
junketing investigation.
The shutting over the valley railroad is |
finished, strong lead has been made and |
there is nothing to do now but for every
property-owner to follow suit.
Governor Budd was quite correct when |
he told the retrenchment committee that |
reform must come from this Legislature
that the people will tolerate nothing else.
If there is any lack in our charter of |
legal authority to investigate local evils |
andremedy them, the best thing the Legis- |
lature can do for US is to give us the needed |
power and let US alone.

AS the Chicago tailors announce deter
mination to oppose the style of coat tails
recommended by the tailors of st. Louis,
we may expect the outbreak of divided |
skirt discussion for men.
That two men should commit suicide |
from dependency caused by lack of work,
is sad commentary on the industrial |
condition of a city where there is so much |
work to be done as in San Francisco.
Casual visitors to the Capitol at Denver |
are giving notice to the world that the |
Colorado woman takes off her hat when |
she legislates, and there is hope that she
will eventually take it off at the theater.
A whimsical illustration of the irony of |
fate is found in the announcement that the |
colossal bronze statue Of Ii Hung Chang, |
ordered in the day of his glory, has just |
been completed in Berlin in time to serve
as monument of his fall.
A Boston paper announces it as a very |
