HOLMAN AS A PROPHET.

Finding in his enforced retirement from
Congress an unwonted freedom from Off
cial responsibility, William Holman, the
great objector, has been expatiating upon
politics in a way that is truly surprising.
Instead of talking like pessimist over the
defeat of his party, or filling the country
with denunciations of governmental ex-
travagance, as might have been expected
from man of his Congressional record, he
has, on the contrary, been dealing in pro-
phecies that surpass Fourth of July ora
tons and talking more like a stump orator
in the flush of first success than like a
statesman of thirty years standing who
has been driven from Office by the defeat
of his party.
In the course of recent interview, Mr..
Holman is reported to have declared his
belief that inside of the next twenty years
Mexico will have absorbed San Salvador,
Costa Rica and the other Central Ameri-
can States and become herself part of the
United States; Newfoundland, New Bruins
wick and the Dominion of Canada will
have come into the American Union within
the next fifteen or twenty years, and before
half century has elapsed we shall COM
prise within our borders and under our flag
all of the western hemisphere
The foreteller of these great things is
further reported to have wound up his
prophecy with the exultant declaration ::
THAT is the spirit of true Democracy
that is the Democracy of Thomas Jeffer-
son."
1t will be conceded that these things
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-25

sound strange from the mouth of Holman,
or for that matter from the mouth of any
man who in Congress has given even a
tacit support to the narrow foreign policy
of the Cleveland administration Reeog-
nizing the incongruity of his present pro-
LESSONS with his record in Congress, Hol-
man went on to say that he had prepared
for submission to Congress a resolution in
relation to the Hawaiian affair which
would have extended the Monroe doctrine
over the entire western hemisphere, in
Guiding Hawaii, but was induced to with
hold it by the chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs in order to protect the
State Department from criticism.
All of this makes very interesting read
ing for the American people. We may not
have faith in Holman's annexation proph-
ecies, nor even believe such extensive an
nexation is desirable, but no one can fail
to see in the suppression of Holman's reso-
luton another evidence Of Cleveland s
blighting effect upon his party. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the last Congress
failed so completely when its leaders were
thus handicapped by the White House.
''The spirit of true Democracy-the Democ-
racy of Thomas Jefferson" as Mr.. Holman
puts it, was sat upon by the fat President
and crushed out of shape.

ranch in Solano County and who was at the
Grand yesterday. "While l was East last fall
l gathered some statistics which have bear
ing on the matter. The last obtainable re-
ports of mortgages in force in the State of Kan
sas show the number to be over 29S, 900, repre-
senting the vast sum of $243, lac, 900 and
covering over &c, SOC, 900 acres, showing a
per capita debt of $40, or $3.50 to each family.
AS the population of the State only includes
2S6,000 families this represents more than one
mortgage to every family in the State; but of
course this number of mortgages covers all
classes of property and does not relate to
homes alone. in Iowa the total number of
mortgages was over 252 900, more than
one to each family in the State, and in Illinois
the ratio is not quite one mortgage to every two
families"

man, at the Baldwin yesterday. "Itis lament

to bring them to mind. The irony of fate is
strongly illustrated in the case of Williams.

S. T. Moore, gentleman who is interested in
the development OF oil properties in Los An
geles, is at the Occidental. He says there has
developed strong sentiment among the prop
erty-holders against allowing more wells to be
sunk in certain localities which are believed
to be good ones by prospectors, and that this
feeling is liable to greatly restrict the develop
ment of new fields. "The trouble is that the
oil district lies right in the residence portion
of the city, said he, land property-holders
very naturally object to having their houses
surrounded by the unsightly derricks"

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

There is no region in the world where life
can be supported with less labor than in this
part of California. There is no region that
produces greater variety of food with so little
labor and in such profusion. There is no re-
gion in which the land to raise food in such
profusion and so near to good markets is so
cheap as it is here. These advantages should
cause San Joaquin County to have ten times its
population in q few years, for that many could
earn a living and enjoy life better than can be
done in the East and those who exercise en-
ergy and enterprise could accumulate wealth

EUREKA NEXT.

All the circumstances justify the con-
| cluson that the construction of the San
| Joaquin road is now assured Money suf-
| ficient to launch the enterprise has been
| subscribed and sum sufficient to COM
plete it is in sight. The choice of route
either by San Jose or by Stockton can be
had for the asking, and perhaps both will
be accepted. Terminal facilities in San
Francisco have been agreed upon and it
needs only the Governors signature to
make them certain. In short the San
Joaquin road is practically an established
enterprise, and the Half-Million Club and
other progressive men who look to the
future may now ask themselves what is to
be done next.
Over that question there is hardly any
room for controversy. Clearly the next
great enterprise to be undertaken is road
to Eureka. The whole rich region to the
north of US is only partially developed. A
line along the north coast would open up
almost virgin area to enterprise and in
dustry. The region is one of more than
ordinary natural resources. The great
lumber interests are in themselves remark
able, but they are only minor factor in
the total wealth of the section The soil is

for the most diversified rural industry and
can support an immense population in
comfortable luxury as soon as the people
are provided with the means of transport
ing their'produce to market. A railroad
would soon bring about development
that would supply it with abundant bust
ness, and in comparatively few years
would be one of the best paying roads in
the State.
1t is worth noting, moreover, in this con-
nection that the Great Northern road has
begun to push its way to the south. A
road from San Francisco to Eureka would
be a big inducement for the Great North
ern to make that place the objective point
of its southern extension. This would
open another through route for San Fran
cisco and would be of incalculable advan-
tage to her extending commerce. A multi
tude of reasons, therefore, impel our pro-
gressive men to look northward at this
time. OF course, the prime duty of the
hour is to subscribe to the San Joaquin
road and get it established and started.
After that is done, however, enterprise
must turn toward Humboldt. The Eureka
railroad is the next thing.

SOCIETY AND THE WITS.

One of the oddities Of California is the
seriousness with which large proportion
of its people takes note of every casual
criticism of society. One would suppose
that no other society had ever been criti-
cized, and that the bellies and beaux and
social leaders of San Francisco alone were
subject to the sings and arrows of wit and
satire.
1t seems to be overlooked that this sort
of thing has been going on in every age
and in every nation since the beginning of
literature. II we may trust the wits, there
is no such thing as good society and never
has been. The beau monde of Berlin,
Paris and London have been more bitterly
lampooned than that of Chicago or San
Francisco. What has been written of US
that will compare with what Thackeray
wrote of England, lola of France and Heine
of Germany? These men, being brighter
wits than those that affiict US, have shot
more deadly shafts, and while our society
has escaped with an abraded cuticle that
of the older cities has been pretty nearly
skinned.
Wherever there is wit there is raillery,
and satire, like death, loves a shining
mark. Nothing that is bright escapes it.
If man makes his own fortune he is ridi-
culed as parvenu. If he inherits it he is
denounced as an idler and a dude. If he
remains always in his native land he is
Knocked at as an untraveled ignoramus. If
he goes abroad he is lampooned as a trav-
eled popinjay. One social leader is reserved
and is pictured as a supercilious exclusive;
another keeps an open, hospitable house
and is described as a seeker after notoriety.
Thus there is no escape for the victim, and
the only consolation for the descendant of
a hundred earls or the daughter OF soap
maker is to be found in the knowledge that
the existence OF the satire is proof they
have been conspicuous enough to attract
the satirist.
1t is a profound saying of Schiller's,
"Wit wars with beauty everlastingly" 1t
is ever the finest poems that are parodied
and the noblest paintings that are per-
verified in cartoons. Beauty would draw
all men from work to an idle worship OF its
loneliness, if a divine providence had not
raised up host OF railers to mock at it,
The glow and the glory of social life as
seen in rich mems halls, with all the acces-
series of. exquisite garments, glittering
gems, good music and dainty repasts, re-
vealing as it does men and women under
their most joyous aspects m the rapture of
the dance or the free flow of delightful con-
versation, is one OF the most beautiful
sights the earth affords. Wit cannot but
war with that sight and seek to spoil it.
Fortunately it wars in vain While it is as
sailing one phase OF social life new one
arises, and society leaving its old fashion
for the wits to peck at, goes dancing off to
fresh fields and pastures green.

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS.

S. A. Andree, the distinguished Swedish
civil engineer and scientific aeronaut, will
start next year on a balloon journey to the
North Pole, under the auspices OF the Royal
s"eolsh Academy of Science and with the
financial support OF number of Swedish gen.
tie1nen, says the New York World.
Chlmer1cal as such an undertaking seems to
be, Its projectors believe it will be a success,
with most important results.

ehy recently Mr.. Andree outlined ms plans.
ne ueelared that the science OF balloon con-
sTuctlon and OF steering a balloon during the
iast lour years has advanced so far as almost to
soIVe the practicability OF aerial navigation
HIS plan is to establish headquarters at the
norwegian Islands on the northwest coast or
Spltzbergen. Here house or shed of sufficient
size 10 cover a balloon of % meters, or 1915
ieet IN diameter when filed with gas Will be
erected, and from this point the balloon jour
ney TO the North Pole will commence. The
greatest expert in the world on balloon con-
structlon and aerial voyages, the celebrated
oalloon manufacturer, the late l.. Gabriel Yon
oi farls, IN letter TO Mr.. Andree Endorsed the
plan as entirely practicable and advised him
to use a balloon of % meters in diameter, to be
constructed of two-fold silk covers, and said
That balloon of this size and construction
would float for thirty days without reflling.
AS an Endorsement of NJ. Yon's statement,
Henri Glfard, Poisenilles and Graham, who
are welI-known aeronauts, computed that the
balloon would lose comparatively a small
amount OF gas in q month.
The gas used for balloons is now manufactured
and for sale and can be transferred any dis
lance in cylinders; 100 to 1900 cylinders
are sufhc1ent to fill polar balloon, such as Mr.
Andree will use, and can without any difficulty
be transported to Spitzbergen. AS it might
be somewhat dangerous to fill a balloon in the

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"Ill match YOU"
Hardly man who visits the Palace Hotel,
eithor as a guest or for liquid refreshments,
but has heard a wee small voice piping these
words.
AS regular as 5 o'clock comes a diminutive
specimen OF humanity answering to the name
OF Johnny Robinson makes his appearance.
His little, pinched drawn face would be pitiful
but for certain cunning, eager though hon.
est, expression. He is only about nine years
old, though he looks twice that age. His main
ambition in life is to make money, and he
adopts the rather precarious means of ''match-
ing nickels." AS side line he carries a title
plate of boutonnieres which he sells at cents
each. From the sale of his flowers he realizes
neat sum, and then commences his plaintive
little cry, "I'Il match you"
"Pll match you,' he said to Riley Grammar
the other night, and, as the noted plunger was
never known to refuse any sort of bet, he
was quickly accommodated. Fortune favored
first one and then the other, finally settling on
the side of the little lower-seller. 1t takes
some little time to win dollar at five cents a
throw, but Robinson at length had that much
of Grannan's coin.
''Now PHI make 1t two dollars nothing"
said Grammar.
'Tll go you," quickly responded the boy.
"You match me-"
'Tails L win," said the boutonniere vender.
"Heads lose," remarked Grammar.

walked away. 'Ill bet he would bet his last

TOLD IN A TRANCE.
One of the Claimants to the Property OF
Trinity Church Recovers VAla-
able Papers.

A few days ago the CALL made mention
of a suit to be brought by the Aneke JAMS
heirs against the Trinity church corpora
ton, in which over $4,000 900 was in
volved. Mention was also made of Mrs.
]. A. Hall, secretary of the International
Aneke Jams Union, who was in San Fran
cisco visiting from her labors preparatory
to going East, when the suit would be in
stituted. Since the article appeared Mrs.
Hall has received perhaps score of letters
from persons claiming to be heirs who
want to know what steps were necessary in
order to become parties to the suit. Many
of these claimants will of course be unable
to prove relationship, while others may
trace descent, though it requires an un-
broken record OF $50 years to do it.
Professor Martin c. Gee, who is one of
the heirs, is very happy over the recovery
OF papers that firmly establishes his claim
is natural descendant of Bogardus
through Martins Brewer.
Nearly forty years ago these papers and
lot of deeds were stolen from his grand
father, Martins Brewer. and all efforts 10
recover them proved futile. About four
weeks ago he says he wrote to an aunt in
Ohio, hoping that she might help him in
establishing his claim, and then very
strange thing happened. The next day
after receiving the letter little blind girl
was at the house and the story of the stolen
papers was told in her presence. Suddenly
the little girl dropped to sleep and when
she awoke had wonderful story to tell.
She said the papers were not far from Mil
waukee, Wis, IN q peculiarly built house,
and that the owner of the house had found
them years before III pile OF bushes. The
story so impressed the aunt's husband that
he finally determined to test its truth.
The child says the professor had not
missed one single detail; everything was
Just as she described. The man readily
gave up the papers and Professor Gee re-
ceiyed them from his aunt last week.
