PAVE FOLSOM STREET.

The residents south of Market street
have the sympathy of the whole City in
their efforts to secure an appropriation
from the Board of Supervisors for the paw
ing of Folsom street with bituminous rock.
The Market-street Railway Company has
already promised to do its share of the
work if the Supervisors will do theirs. The
estimated cost to the City is only $4,000.
The benefits would be great.
The only drawback to the proposition is
the fear that the money will not be
honestly expended nor the work faithfully
done. The improvement will have to be
made by the Street Department., which has
been already discovered to be incompetent,
if not corrupt. The Grand Jury is securing
evidence going to show that, besides per-
uniting private property to be
swindled by rascally contractors, the
Street Department has done public work
in most sham eful manner.
But the kno Wedge of danger suggests
means for avoiding it. The improvement
clubs interested in the Folsom-street pave
ment can prevent any approach to crooked
ness by exercising sleepless vigilance in
watching the work from the moment the
specifications are drawn to the payment of
the warrants for the completed work. This
may reduce the perquisites of the Street
Department and of the corrupt political
influences which direct its operations, but
the people will not grieve over that. Cor
ruption in the City government cannot be
successfully carried on if the people are
watchfuL and public improvements cannot
be permitted to cease through the fear that
the revenues will be stolen.

" THE SUNDAY CALL"

With the approaching admission of
Utah to statehood public interest in that
commonwealth has been largely increased
and all who share 1t will be gratified and
instructed by the entertaining paper on
the subject by Nephi Anderson in THE
SUNDAY CALL Of tomorrow. Under the
title of "Utah, the New State" he fur
nisheS an able account of the conditions
prevailing in that hourishing community
and adds much to public information con-
corning it.
1.-The Illiteracy OF Ambrose Bierce' is
discussed with incisive vigor by William
Greer Harrison. w. c. Morrow contributes
local story of a striking character in "a
Revelation From the Demon of Goat ISL
and" A chapter of personal history in
the days of the pioneers is given in Rem
iniscences of an Argonaut," by Henry B.
Livingston, and the interest is enlivened
by several new anecdotes of noted char
acters of the time.
An amusing character sketch of Mo-
hammedan priest is given in clever story
entitled "The Karamojah, or the Big
Book man of the Gallinas," by Branscombe
Ashley, and will be found the more at
tractive because it deals with portion of
the world that has been but little de.
scribed in our literature. A delightful
story for children will be found in "a
Fifty-Dollar Dog" by Mary Woodward
Edwards. And both young and grown
folks will be pleased with 1.-THE Adven-
lures of Maaroof."
The regular departments of the Sunday
paper are filled, as usual, with bright and
notable matters OF current interest, and all
classes of readers can find something suited
to their particular tastes and interests.
THE CALL can be had generally wherever
newspapers are sold, but as there is always
an enlarged demand for the Sunday paper
the best way to make sure Of getting it is
to leave orders for it TODAY.

sister of Wesley, and only II years old.
Shortly after the murder Gf it was a MUIR
der) Ada astounded the community by
signing declaration to the effect that her
two brothers, Wesley and Albert, had COM
mitted the deed IN punishment OF Morris
bad treatment of her.
This added the finishing touches to
movement which had started to lynch
Wesley McReynoIds. All the telephone
and telegraph lines in the county were
monopolized for the assembling OF mob
for that purpose. Wesley and Albert were
at once lodged in jail and guard was
established. Ada, their sister, likewise
was placed under arrest. The Grand Jury
OF the county promptly took the matter in
hand and through it's intelligent efforts
has discovered and exposed an amazing
condition of affairs.
When the young girl was pressed for
full statement of the matter her conscience
came into play and she confessed that her
declaration charging her brothers with the
murder was untrue, and that it had been
secured from her by two private detectives
named Brown and Reilly, who had been
engaged to discover the murderer and who
Ncio pursuing htI DiOtIItiS. lhCy WI
WINGED her that Morris had insured his
life for $4,000 in her favor, and that if it
should be shown that he had committed
suicide she could not secure the money.
She refused to inculpate her brothers at
first on that showing, but did so when the
detectives swore solemn oath that her
brothers would not be molested, but that
the statement from her was wanted merely
for the purpose of getting the insurance.
Thus deceived the girl consented and filed
the dreadful charge.
Tie Grand Jury summoned the detec-
tives and they admitted that what the girl
had said was true, but justified themselves
on the ground that they had acted in the
interest of justice, believing the Mickey
mold boys guilty. That this extraordinary
view of justice has shocked the people of
Tuolumne Is not surprising. Such meth
DDS of securing evidence in murder cases
ought to be made penal offense. This
case is aggravated all the more by the pos
siSility that no murder was committed at
all. as it may be simple case OF suicide.
A remarkable development of the case
is the suicide of Albert McReynolds. He
left no statement or explanation. The
bearing of this tragic incident on the mys-
terry of the crime must be largely mat
ter of opinion. The value of such an
opinion would depend on the extent ana
intimacy of knowledge concerning the
suicides history and temperament.

A FOOL AND HIS ERRAND.

Hermann Ahlwardt, the noted "Jew-
hater" of Germany, has arrived at New
FORK and is reported TO have announced
the intention of delivering lectures for the
purpose of starting an anti-Semitic crusade
in this country. Under our laws it is i'm
possible either to send him back where he
came from or to make him behave him
self While he is here. Alien though he is.
he will be in this land Of liberty protected
in the same freedom of speech that is the
birthright of Americans, and we must
make up our minds to bear with him with
what patience we can while he strives to
awaken among our people the prejudlces
and spites that are found among the most
illiberal and narrow minded of his own
countrymen.
The coming OF such man with such
purpose raises the question whether in
amending the immigration restriction bill
it would not be well to shut out such
vicious agitators from the right to make
public speeches in this country. Ameri-
can liberty ought not to be made an open
door for the entrance of old European
intolerances into our homes. American
freedom should be free from all the hates
and prejudices that linger in the Old
World as the surviving embers of medieval
barbarisms and superstitions. Liberty of
speech we value too much ever to restrict
among our home people who have grown
up in freedom to cherish American ideas,
but it should not be left free to every alien
agitator and mischief-maker who comes
here with the avowed purpose of venting
his malice and stirring up strife.
1t is not likely that Ahlwardt will have
any great success in his misunderstanding
plans. The Jews with US have grown to
be part of the American people and afe
everywhere esteemed among their neigh
bors. Many of them have been elected to
offices of trust and responsibility by the
people and rarely has one of them ever
been found to be false or unworthy Off
cial. They are honored in all the walks of
life and have weight and influence III
every department of commerce and
finance. 1t would be hard to find an
American who does not number some
member of the Hebrew race among the
friends who have been helpful TO him.
Against the strong sentiment of American
justice and the personal feeling OF indi-
vidual friendships Ahlwardt, the "Jew-
hater," will rave in vain. bufall the same
he should not be allowed to disturb us by
doing his raving in this country.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The indications seem to be that we are
on the eve of general breaking up of the
hard winter of political corruption that for
so long has held the City in its grasp. 1t
is now reported that because Chief Sulli-
van of the Fire Department has made war
on Buckley the blind boss is pursuing the
Fire Department through the agency of
the Grand Jury and proposes to show how
it has neglected its duty for politics.
The Grand jury wisely accepts any clew
to mismanagement that may be offered,
even though il come from the man who
originally fostered the evil. For years the
City has had to face the shame of main
tanning a Fire Department controlled by
corrupt political bosses. Chief Sullivan is
an able fireman and has conducted the de-
partment with more decency than has
been known for years. But if Buckley's
charges are true that Sullivan's lieutenants
have used their positions and the City's
time for political purposes. whether with
good or bad motives or in the interest of
decent or corrupt politics, he should be
made to suffer the punishment which such
conduct deserves.
1t may be expected that he will retaliate
That he knows a great deal which would
make interesting reading these long win
ter evenings can hardly be doubted, and
that he could if he would assist the Grand
Jury in discovering many criminal politi-
cal practices of the past may be taken for
granted. 1t is his duty to do so. Buckley
and others of his ilk have not begun to
realize that a revolution is afoot With
the same old cynical, sneering smile they
are watching the present movement in a
bored way and waiting patiently for the
time when it will end. He and others like
him have seen such movements begun
before and have witnessed the collapse of
them all. They know, too, that Canada is
convenient and that we have statute of
limitations.
The present Grand Jury seems to be
even more searching than the famous
Wallace jury, which sent Buckley flying
to Canada. 1t is going far deeper and
taking much more comprehensive course,
In all these matters it is supported by the
sympathy of the decent elements of the
City and by the active assistance of some
fearless and public-spirited citizens who
have pride in the City and are weary of
being plundered. The situation is more
menacing for boodlers than it has ever
been before. and the wonder is that they
have not the intelligence to ncte the fact.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The mass-meeting to be held at Metro
politan Hall this evening has been called
by the Mayor, in order that the people of
this City may protest against the passage
by Congress of any measure for extending
or rounding the debt of the Central Pacific
Railroad to the United States. 1t is just
and in good taste for the people of San
Francisco to express themselves in this
way. They are in the best possible posi-
ton for understanding the whole subject
and for taking intelligent action concern
ing it. The merchants, particularly, know
what grievous and unjust burdens have
been placed upon them by the mainten-
ance of this monopoly. For that matter
every interest in the City has suffered
from the oppression.
There is one prevailing and overshadow-
ing sentiment among the people, dread
of a continuance of the evil which has held
their progress in check. The danger is
that many strong citizens, aware of the
comprehensive extent of this sentiment,
will remain away from the meeting, be-
liev1ng that sufficient number will be
present to lend an overwhelming influence
to the occasion. 1t is every ones duty to
be on hand and lend the weight of his
presence to the meeting.
The proposition is very simple one
The aided company, having failed to dis
charge its obligations to the Government,
and having acquired incredible wealth by
Withholding from the Government what
was honestly owing, and by levying heavy
tribute upon the wealth and industry of
California, is seeking in Congress to secure
an indefinite extension of the time in
which it may pay its debt. Grave as that
proposition is, it is inconsiderable, so far
as California is concerned, in comparison
with the proposition which it carries
that of perpetuating the burden which
now rests upon the State. The debt being
now due. it is within the right and power
OF the Government to enforce its collection.
1t is in the exercise of this right that a rea-
sonaDle prospect of relief to California
exists.
That is the simple proposition. 1t is
one of justice, as well as self preservation.
Any citizen who neglects his duty in the
premises not only may be assisting to
fasten upon himself the chains that bind
him, but may be inflicting serious injury
upon his neighbors, his City and his State.
The voice of San Francisco, when spoken
this evening, will be heard at Washing
ton. There need be no fear on that score.

THAT CALAMITY.
OAKDALE, Stanislaus County. Californls

OAKDALE Stanislaus County. California,
December 4, 1895.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Call: wrote
to you a few days ago in regard to DR.. Close s
alarming statement that the planets will all be
in alignment in December, 1901.
l shall make statement here which am
willing to leave to the decision OF Stanford,
California University, or to the observatory, as
follows:
First-The planet Neptune is now in the
constellation Taurus, and will not reach that
line of alignment for 100 years.
Second-The planet Uranus is now in the
constellation Libra and could not reach that
proposed alignment for twenty years.
Third-That the planet Saturn is now In the
constellation Libra. and will not reach that
proposed alignment for eight years.
Fourth-That Mars and Venus Will not be In
that proposed alignment in 1901.
Fffth-That Mercury and Jupiter are the only
two planets tnat will be in said alignment in
December, 1901,
Sixth-That admitting that there was such
an alignment at Noah's flood such alignment
could not possibly happen again in less than
1920 years.
1t is wrong to create false alarms and
frighten ignorant people.
/ could make other statements in regard to
Rev. Aliens sermon published in Tuesdays
CALL. but will content myself by saying that 1t
is mere badinage.
Finally if such alignment would take place
1t would not affect the earth's motion or in
crease its centripetal force. Neptune is about
2,S2S 100000 OF miles from the sun and
Uranus is about l 1862 ,OOO, 900 OF miles from
the sun and cannot have much attractive
force at such distance. Jupiter and Saturn
have been in opposition to the earth. They
are 200 times the size of the earth and yet
they did not affect its orbital motion at all.
Yours, s. 3. MCCORMICK.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Tuolumne County has furnished Pc
culiar instance of passion, haste, cupidity
and murder combined and confused in
singularly complex fashion. A popular
young man named George Morris, the
Wells Fargo agent at Chinese Camp, was
found dead recently. The indications
were that he had been murdered, and as
young man named Wesley McReynolds
was said by certain private detectives to
have boosted of the crime and threatened
to kill the brothers of Morris he was sus-
pected by the public. Morris had been
very friendly with Ada McReynolds,

MACHINERY AND LABOR.

SAN Francisco, December e, 1895.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Call: see
in your issue of this date the report of lecture
entitled "Man VS.. Machinery" delivered by
Professor Edward A. Ross OF Stanford Uni
versity last evening in this City. He main
tains:
First-That machinery is beneficial. (Which
is undeniable)
Secondhand it displaces skilled labor. (Also
undeniable.)
Third-That this displacement results in an
evil, detrimental to the well-being of society.
(Which is undeniable.)
Fourth-That socialism would cure this evil
but that it would not be advisable to cure the
evil in that manner. (Which may be ques-
tiOnable.)
Fifth-That he believes that society can pro-
vide cure by once more training labor up to
the point of skill!
Is this the kind of logic that comes from the
mind of a university professor?
II skilled labor can be supplanted by ma
chinery, what earthly benefit will it do to train
skilled labor? Yours truly,
OLIVER EVERETT.
