"gold-medal corner" and that the free
exhibitions of California fruit-cooking
have made it necessary for the merchants
OF Atlanta to carry a stock OF California
dried fruits to supply the demand which
these exhibitions have created. This is
worth fully as much to the State as any
number of gold medals that may be won
by private exhibitors, and it indicates one
OF the lines along which the extension OF
our market can be prohtably followed.
1t is encouraging to learn that Florida
orange growers, after seeing the California
exhibit, decided not to enter their prod
ucts. Still, it had been already learned
that the climate of Florida is not sufi-
GENTLY reliable to make orange-growing a
perfectly safe occupation there.
1t is to be noted in this connection that
there is on foot a movement to expand the
exhibit of the California State Board Of
Trade by taking more extensive quarters
and incorporating exhibits OF valuable
products of the entire Pacific Coast and
even the Hawaiian Islands. This would
make a permanent exposition OF great
magnitude and interest, and 1t is to be
hoped that the suggestion will not be al
lowed to slumber.

WHAT TIME WILL BRING.

Those who cannot read the destiny of
San Francisco in the unalteraDle condI-
tons which assure its coming greatness
must lack the understanding to make an
effort to secure that result. AS the his
tories of cities go, San Francisco was born
but yesterday, and unlike any other Amer
lean city of rapid growth it has developed
its present Importance solely by the ire
pressible force of natural advantages
which have operated with the certainty of
fate against purely artificial hindrances.
These are too familiar to Californians to
require enumeration here. 1t is sufficient
to say that no manifestation of human
stupidity, greed or Incidence can check
the onward march of this Western metrop
oils, and it Is still more encouraging to see
that even these obstacles TO advancement
are disappearing under an awakening
sense of duty and better appreciation of
opportunity.
The geographical situation of the CITY
comprises an extraordinary combination
OF favorable circumstances. Its back
country is surprisingly rich in agricultur-
al lands, precious metals, lumber and all
the other great essentials of community
wealth; these are not developed to hun
dretn part OF their capacity. Much of this
region is accessible by waterways which
are not made available for transportation,
The outward view shows a frontage on the
Pacific Ocean and favoring winds and
ocean currents that invite navigation. The
physical conditions of the City have for
their chief feature climate which is not
only pleasant but which conduces to
health, vigor and adventure.
OF equal value with these advantages is
the peculiar fact that the City can never
have rival. Railroads have caused it to
lose the trade both OF the north and the
south, but a thousand such facilities could
not annul the remarkable advantages
which are conferred in this spot. Railroads
may produce wonderfully rapid growth,
as they have done in the case of Chicago
Minneapolis, st. Paul and some other
Western cities, but great ocean and
matchless harbor have an influence and,
assisted by natural inland waterways and
climate which makes possible the produc-
ton of expensive articles of consumption
grown nowhere else in so great variety and
abundance, must exert an influence that
will have cumulative force in the passing
OF the years and that in the end will make
OF San Francisco one of the greater cities
of the world.
great hindrance to development is its
distance from the populous centers of the
world. What is termed "the bridge" lies

POETRY AND ROSES.

1t has been proposed to have poetess
instead OF queen to preside over the COM
ing festival of roses in San Jose, and the
proposal is worthy of serious considera-
ton. 1t suggests possibilities of lifting the
annual festival at San Jose to unique
position among the carnivals of the State,
and if tie proposal is undertaken in the
right spirit and carried out in the right
way it may result in adding to the festival
feature OF extraordinary interest.
Ii is well-known theory of Wagner
that music, painting and poetry have each
been carried to the highest plane they can
attain separately, and that if the art of the
future is to transcend that of the past it
must seek to do so by combining the three
arts into one and raising that to the
superlative degree. Wagner sought to
achieve this in his operas, and in the COM
position OF them gave as much attention
TO the poetry they expressed and to the
beauty OF the scenic effects as he did to
the music Itself A Wagnerian opera
therefore is a combination of all the arts,
and there can be no doubt that much of
the prestige OF these operas is due to the
skill with which the com bination was
effected.
Our floral festivals have ignored the wis
dom OF this maxim of the innovator of the
opera OF our time. They have sought to
please oy one art alone. All energies have
peen directed solely to the production of
scenic effects. Music and poetry have
been set aside in order that exclusive at
tentlon might be given to artistic accom-
pnshments OF form and color. Great sue
cess has been undoubtedly gained in that
way. The beauty and the multitude OF our
flowers have sutficed to produce wonderful
pageants and brilliant pavllions, and
when united with the glow of ribbons and
the blaze of fireworks the triumphs at
tanned have been almost infinite in their
variety. 1t seems certain however, that
much could be added to the delight of
even the most successful of these festivals
II all the glory of their colors and the
splendor OF their beauty were interfused
with the glowing sentiments OF poesy and
the raptures of music.
Ii San Jose undertakes to introduce the
element OF poetic competition into her fes-
tlval OF roses she will not be without
models on which to fashion her work.
Many of the medieval festivals OF Italy
and Southern France were blended floral
fetes and contests of poets and musicians.
Such festival continues to this day in
Provence. Readers of "Corinne' will
recall the triumph of that heroine on such
an occasion at Rome. These old models
could not be closely followed, of course.
with any success, for we are a different
people, with different customs; but still
we might profit by them as fully as we do
by Venetian pageants in arranging the
spectacular portions of our festivals.

HELP SAN FRANCISCO.

The Fresno Republican calls attention to
the fact that while San Francisco is max
ing a fight against the influence of the
aided railroads in Congress to secure the
passage of a funding bill the people of the
interior are content to applaud the effort
and rest at that. "Our inactivity" SAYS
our contemporary, els the more surprising
because we SO expressly recognize the i'm
portance to the coast Of a right decision of
the matter, such decision as will not be
secured by the lobbyists of c. P. Hunting
ton. If our bondage to the Pacific roads is
renewed some part OF the blame will attach
to ourselves"
This article was published before the call
of Mayors to appoint delegates from all
the cities and towns of the State to a
meeting IN San francisco for the purpose
of drafting a memorial to Congress pray
ing that the railroad debt be not funded or
otherwise extended. The scope of this
call has been very properly widened to in
clude the chairmen of the Boards of Super
visors throughout the State, so that the
two main interests at stake-the business
men and consumers OF the cities and towns
as represented by municipal boards and
the producers as represented by the Boards
of Supervisors-will have an opportunity
to express themselves and present q pc
tition which Congress cannot ignore.
Hence, the interior of the State will now
have an opportunity to act upon this sue-
gestion contained in the Republicans edi-
torial: IF the San Francisco organization
which is attempting to combat funding
bill will practically and directly appeal TO
the interior of the State for moral and
financial assistance it viii receive it. The
wisdom of such course must be manifest
to anybody. California should be
as united in action in this matter as it is
in feeling. Congress should not be per-
mitted to fatter itself that San Francisco
is alone in opposition to any funding bill
that may be devised"
The convention is to be held next Satur-
day at Metropolitan Hall in this City. It
VIII be one of the most important as
semblages of representative citizens OF
California ever brought together under
one roof. 1t will be struggle for life, and
every patriotic resident of the State and
every citizen who has the intelligence to
know that his own welfare Is at stake will
lend his strongest financial and moral sup
port to its success.

A BRIGHT RECORD.

J. A. Filcher, manager of the California
State Board of Trade, sends just such an
account of California's victories at the
Atlanta Exposition as might have been
expected. Although the diplomas have
not yet all been made out, and Mr.. Filcher
is therefore unable to send complete
list of the California winners of prizes, be
does say that California thus far has taken
about seyenty-five prizes; that this is at
least three times as many as any other
State has won; that about half of these
are first premiums (gold medals), and that
the number of prizes will undoubtedly be
increased to a hundred before the fair
closes.
1T is pleasant to hear from him that the
California exhibit Is already known as the
