city. From there it is but a step to
the paupers in the park, and in fact
they are in plain sight. The picture
with the houses of the rich on one side
and the paupers on the other reminds
me of Lanseers' painting in the Nation

ing of two dogs called, High and Low

Dorchester house" nobleman rents
the same to the government at one
thousand pounds per week, for the ac-
commodation of the Shazada of Afghan

bill of repairs will be enormous, in
fact the beautiful palace will be wreck
ed as to its interior when the Afghan
leaves it. To entertain this prince
ling the government will pay eighty
thousand pounds or nearly four hun
bred thousand dollars. A little below
where Park Lane runs into Piccadilly,
stands the Wellington arch and the
grand equestrian statue Of the Hero

man cannot reconcile the state of So
ciety here in London. Just so was 1t
in the days of old Rome. The very
rich and direful poverty going hand in

what will become of the thousands of
paupers in London? What will be the
ultimate effect of poverty and Its in
f1uences upon the nation? They shake
their heads and exclaim, "who can tell"
They do not wish to converse on this
unpleasant subject. London abounds
with charitable institutions and they
reach out to multitudes of poor, but
when the people number nearly 100000,
the flotsam and jetsam of society is so
great that all who need, can not be
helped. 1t is "a serious question.
The churches of London are very
many in number and they are crammed
and packed every Sabbath, no matter
if the weather be hot, or wet or pleas
ant, the clergies preach to multitudes.
The English are religious people and
carry, their religion to all lands, and
erect many churches, but they must
take care of their poor, they must set
them on their feet and lead them in
the right direction; they must stop
brewing so much strong ale. One glass
of ale in England is stronger than a
dozen glasses of German beer. Strong
ale and spirits are daily pauperizing
thousands in England. oh! but what

tending, of course, to sell them at a profit.
But the people resented the transaction
and refused to buy the seats, although the
spectators offered them at half the cost.
As consequence there was very slim
house, and Irving was so disguised that he
refused to make speech. The people were
not to blame for the small house, and
Irving had good opportunity to put a
check on very mean and evil practice by
being as gracious as possible to those who
did attend.
Possibly only the advent of the mil
lennium would invest our people with the
spirit of independence which characterizes
those of Montreal. Whenever great star
visits San Francisco we are apt to endanger
the integrity of our necks by scrambling
for seats on any terms. The spectators,
accordingly, reap a harvest. Montreal is
sufficiently old to be sensible, patient and
self-respecting.

A SEVERE REPORT.

The interview with Marsden Manson,
chairman OF the State Board of Highway
Commissioners, published in Sunday g
CALL, is exceedingly instructive and I'M
sparingly severe. He shows how money
is wasted in the maintenance of roads by
county authorities through ignorance of
proper methods, and gives generous praise
to those counties which have exhibited in
telligence and enterprise He shows that
some of the splendid prosperity of Santa
Clara County is attributable to the superb
condition of the roads, and charges hard
times in other places to bad roads.
A very peculiar thing which he discov-
cred was that in the mountain and foothill
region, where the people produce at home
all that they possibly can for home con-
sumption, there is far more prosperity
than in the valleys, where it is easier to
buy meat, vegetables, butter and the like.
This is apart from the subject of good
roads, but it is worth knowing and remem-
bering.
The finest mountain road was found IN
the smallest and poorest county. Alpine,
where the population is only $50. The ex-
cellence of this road is explained in the
scrupulous integrity and careful watchful-
ness of the Supervisors, who see personally
that full value is received for every dollar
expended; but an equally important factor
is the pride of the people themselves, who,
when the road fund is exhausted, take
picks and shovels and do the work free OF
charge. There are bound to be good roads
and prosperity where such conditions as
these exist.
Evidence of the most extraordinary stu
pidity was found in certain counties of the
great interior basin. In the long sandy
stretches there Astounding it is often the
custom to make roads passable for wagons
heavily loaded with grain by strewing
them several inches deep with straw. This
has to be repeated number of times dur
ing the year, at cost of $50 to $40 a mile.
This is a criminal waste of money. The
commissioners found in other places that
excellent material for making good roads
lay contiguous to bad roads, and yet it is
never employed, although the cost of using
it would be far below that of the primitive
methods employed.
Here is the sum of the commissioners
investigation: "The people of the State
spend between 100000 and 100000
yearly on their highways, yet it cannot be
controverted that we are deteriorating in
roads. 1t cannot be controverted that the
same amount, intelligently, judiciously
and honestly expended during series of
years, would give us the grandest system
of roads in the world. Most of it is now
blindly thrown away"

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT,

Frank R. Stockton, the well-known novelist,
is thin, wiry-built, dark-complexioned man,
OF somewhat severe mien, with bright, eager
eyes and dropping mustache, and in manner
is dry and taciturn. He can talk quite as well
as he writes when in the mood; but as a rule
is rather chary of conversation ana rarely
melts, even when surrounded by his chosen
intimates, says NJ. Crofton in Vanity. Phila-
delphian by birth and Jerseyite by residence,
he began life as an engraver, but soon turned
journalist 1t was while connected with
Scribner's that he published the "Rudder
Grange stories, which first brought him into
literary prominence. This was in 1879. Then
he became assistant editor of st. Nicholas. In
1884 he published "The Lady or the Tiger"
1t has been followed by an unbroken line of
delightfully."- con.rived tales, both short and
long. They all take quaint turn, and are full
of whimsical characters, while in each some
fresh enigma is dangled like lure before the
readers eyes. His last book is called "The Adj
ventures of Captain Horn" and is unlike any
thing he has previously done. It's author is
slightly on the wrong side of 60, and affects
the hammock habit. He confesses that he often
waits an hour to select the correct word when
debating his stories, and that he seldom die
tates more than twice 500 words daily. He
asks something like half a thousand dollars for
the shortest of stories. And he gets what he
asks.

ROYALTY IN COMMAND.

The speech made by the Duke of Cam
bridge at a private banquet given in his
honor upon his retirement from the COM
mand of her Majesty's armies has created
a sensation throughout Great Britain. He
took the ground that there is no proper
foundation for the recently developed no.
ton that member of the royal family
was not suited for the command of the
forces.
The distinguished gentleman's objection
to this sentiment has come too late. The
very fact that his long command of the
army has induced innumerable and con-
stantly increasing attacks upon him is
conclusive proof that the instinct of the
people is averse to royal leadership of the
iron hand which might be turned against
their liberties, His unpopularity was
based less on the ground of his personal
shortcomings than on that which supports
natural human jealousy of individual
liberty.
The English people seem to be less
aware than are intelligent observers in
other nations that the proclaimed loyalty
of Britons to the idea OF royal sovereignty
is the product more of habit than innate
really assaults upon the royal prerogative
and power. The most instructive incon-
sistency that Great Britain has ever devel-
oped is the claim of its people that royalty
should not command the armed forces of
the empire. In theory the king is both
the ruler and the father of the people. He
is charged with the safety and welfare of
his subjects, and as the army represents
the idea of defense and safety in its con-
cretest form all logic demands that the king
should command the army. This is not only
logical but right, and it is not only the
rule throughout Europe except in Eng
land, but principle of republican govern
ments is the placing of the President at
the head of the armed defenses of the
country.
In declaring that royalty may not prop
erly command the army the people of
England stultify that principle of their
Government which permits royalty to
serve even as nominal factor in the con-
duct of public affairs 1t is really a con-
fession of inconsistency in sustaining even
the empty form of a throne, and in es-
sence is a proclamation of innate an
tagonism to monarchical Government
and a demand for the exercise of the
inherent right of se.f-government.
The abandonment of the principle of
army leadership by the crown in obedi-
ence to an overwhelming popular senti-
ment is further lowering of the power of
the scepter in the vital concerns of Great
Britain. 1t is a further retreat of the
monarchical idea and a corresponding adj
vance of republicanism. Should England
tomorrow become republic and elect a
President she would give him ten times
the power at present invested in the crown.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

The special article on MERGED County
which The CALL published Sunday dis
closes condition of affairs not at all cred
liable to the capitalists who may be aware
of the opportunities which exist in that
county. 1t is true that hundreds of other
opportunities for the profitable investment
of money are to be found in California, but
the situation in MERGED is particularly in
viting.
The great opportunity there existing is
the utilization of the power represented by
the MERGED River and its conversion into
electricity for use in the mines. The min
ing region of Hornitos was famous in the
early DAYS, but it is remarkable fact that,
with few exceptions the workings have been
confined practically to the surface. The
high price of fuel has made mine-owners
timid about development, although the
mines which have been pushed to a coz
siderable depth have uncovered splendid
stores of gold. Now, that gold-mining las
taken recently SO strong turn upward it
is eminently worth while to inquire into
the prospects of MERGED.
The river, after leaving Yosemite Valley,
pushes its way to the plains through a
gorge with heavy fall. AT innumerable
places along the canyon the water might
be damned and electric plants installed.
The power thus generated would solve the
problem of working the gold mines on a
profitable basis, and hence the demand for
the power would be instant and large. In
view of the great enterprises of this kind
which have been established on the San
Joaquin and Ssanislaus rivers, it seems
strange that the inducements offered by
the MERGED River have been overlooked or
neglected. Eastern capitalists could not
do better than investigate the situation.

GENERAL EZETA'S PLANS.

A fascinating story is brought to San
Francisco by George O'Hara, an officer of
the Guatemalan Central Railway, and APP
parently responsible and intelligent man.
He claims to be close acquaintance of
Ezeta, the deposed President of Salvador,
and of Ezeta's friends and to be familiar
with the generals plans. Therefore, he
asserts that Ezeta's talk about leaving San
Francisco for Salvador for the purpose of
organizing another revolution was simply
with view to conceal his real intention,
which is to take charge of the revolution
airy forces in Cuba. The reward for his
success in that enterprise will be the lend
ing of an army 10 him for use in effecting
revolution in Salvador.
1t is not alone the plausibility of this
story that makes it interesting. Ezeta is
asserted to be really a very courageous
and able general; certainly his leadership
of the Cuban rebels could not make their
situation worse than it is. His command
of the Spanish language would be an ad-
vantage over any other foreigner, and it
cannot be assumed that he has any love
for Spain sufficiently strong to make him
stay his hand when the interests of that
country are threatened.
The only part of the story that seems
unlikely is that which concerns the re-
ward offered him. If the Cuban rebels sue
coed they will need President, and who
better than Ezeta could be found? He has
already had experience in that capacity,
and it would be better for him to become
President of Cuba than of Salvador and
the government of the people would prob
ably be easier. To be the leader of a cause
involving the liberty of a people would be
a greater glory than the wrestling of gov
eminent from people of whom he could
ha
