MISREPREsENTED CITIZENS.

If any proof were needed of the wisdom
of the opponents Of the refunding scheme
In keeping that contest separate and dis
tinct from any agitation for Government
ownership of railroads, that proof can be
found in the eagerness with which Mr..
Huntington and his supporters. are trying
to confound them together. This eager
ness manifests itself in many ways, and is
seen with particular clearness in the effort
made by the railroad organs to represent
every citizen who is not in favor of gov
ernmental railroads as an advocate of the
refunding scheme.
Many of those citizens whose names
have been used by the railroad organs as
representatives of a California sentiment
in favor of refunding have publicly pro-
tested against the wrong done them.
Others who have not protested have proba-
bly, thought it unnecessary to do so. as
the very words attributed to them by the
railroad publications show that they ex-
pressed objections to Government owner
ship and not an approval of any refunding
scheme. Some of the best and most pub
lie spirited men in the City and the State
have been thus misrepresented, and, as a
consequence, have had the modification
of seeing themselves advertised as sup
porters of the monopoly against the pub
lie welfare when they have been as true to
the public veal as any of their neighbors.
Cunning as has been this trick of the
railroad to spread confusion in Congress,
and if possible to produce discussions and
divisions in California, the scheme viii
fail. The people have been sufficiently
educated on all phases of the great contest
to understand that opposition TO Govern
ment ownership does not mean subservi-
ence to Mr.. Huntington. 1t means that
many men who doubt the wisdom or the
constitutionality of the operation of rail-
roads by the National Government are still
in favor of enforcing the law honestly and
impartiaIly against great corporation ex-
actly as it would be enforced against an
Individual of less wealth, power and skill
in eyading law.
The publication OF these misleading and
often directly false reports of the senti-
ments of prominent men in San Fran
cisco, whether dispatched from here or in
vented in Washington, have done great in
justice to those who have been misrepre-
sented. 1t is only another evidence of the
uAoCl u ulOuo tdCGlCS WHICH, Inc managers
OF the monopoly permit their agents to
pursue. The effect in this City will not be
great, for our people have learned by long
experience to distrust everything that a
railroad organ says. The danger point is
in Washington. To that city our watch
fitness must be directed and every Con-
gresham must be made to understand
clearly that what California asks at this
time is not the Government ownership and
operation of the railroad, but simply the
enforcement of the law and refusal on
the part of Congress to condone frauds.

dence mas entrusted 20 her" would GER
tainly be the browning achievement of
England's ambition. To bridge the At
lantic with treaty of alliance for offense
and defense would be a spectacle to strike
terror to the heart of all the world. True
enough, England In that event need 'Tear
no foe," not even its dearest friend, the
United States; and she might even have
cause to hope that she could see Ameri-
can rifles led by English generals glis-
tenlng in the sunshine of Calais and the
Balkan range.
But the Atlantic is too wide to bridge
with American rifles and English greed
for an extension of power. Whatever Mr..
Balfour may mean by Anglo-Saxon ideas
OF liberty there are American ideas of lib
erty, and they are founded in justice and
humanity. It is these ideas that Ameri-
cans are pledged to all posterity to main
tain, and they are not the ideas of liberty
that Great Britain cherishes.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Ellen Beach Yaw, the altitudinous soprano
who passed her school days in Los Angeles, has
at last sung before a critical New York
audience. For the last two years panegyrics of
the fair singer have been waited from the wilds
OF Texas and from the studio of Alberto RAN
degger In London. Yaw's voice was said to be
the highest recorded in musical history, the
sweetest, the purest, and the lady herself was
declared to be possessed OF q neck twice as long
as any one else's and to be moreover a girl of
SURPRISING beauty. Miss Yaw's recent New
York concert shows, as in the case OF Marsick,
that the press agent occasionally overreaches
himself. The Musical Courier, paper which
has "booned'' her extravagantly for the last
year and half, says in the eurrentiss s'Yaw

The "In Memoriam of Joseph Barnby'' per-

Grace Church last Sunday was graceful trib-

BALPOUR'S SUGGESTION.

The Right Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, First
Lord of the British treasury, has been hit
ting the English financial policy some
sharp raps of late, but he has never made
any suggestion SO sensational as that
which has just been nleagerly reported as
coming from him. 1t was that the high
duty OF England and the United States is
to work together, ''each in its own
sphere" to promote and extend the Anglo
Saxon ideas of liberty. Then he made this
apparently inconsistent declaration: If
Great Britain were in alliance with the
United States, she could fulfill the duties
which Providence had intrusted to her
and not fear foreign foe or international
diversions
In the absence of the full text of this
remarkable speech it may be deemed I'M
fair to criticize it, but criticism can be
made with the reservation that its COM
plete presentation might change its ap-
parent character.
The people of the United States would
be very glad to know in what respects the
Anglo-Saxon ideas of liberty are alike in
exposition in the two countries. 1t is not
difficult to find wide range of divergences,
but that is not what Mr.. Balfour is discuss
ing. In defining Anglo-Saxon ideas of
liberty, and thus presumably separating
them from universal ideas of liberty, this
able Englishman would be compelled to
adopt either the American or the British
standard. If he should adopt the Ameri-
can he would have to advocate the liberia
ton OF Ireland, abandon the Venezuelan
controversy and abolish free-trade tariff
which makes England a nation of pauper
laborers and millionaire Insurers. If he
would ask US to accept the British idea he
would expect US to seize Canada. overrun
the republics to the south of us and bring
our laboring classes in competition with
the pauper workers of Europe and the
Orient.

the United States which would 'enable
England to fulfill the duties which Proyi-

POPULAR LECTURES.

DR.. Jordan, the newly elected president
of the Academy of Sciences, is redeeming
his promise OF instituting a series OF pop
ular scientific lectures, which will be both
interesting and instructive to the people
at large. eve want to popuIarize the
academy" he says, "and yet we want to
give thoroughly scientific information"
That goes directly to the point. In earnest
of his intention he announces the follow
ing lectures: The Aztecs will be discussed
by E. j. Molera; DR.. Rosenau of Wash
ington, D. c., will give greatly needed
popular information concerning bacteria
in milk; DIR. Angel will give an insight
into the scientific basis of illusions and
Authorizations, and Professor Sanford of
Stanford University will expose the absur-
dities of rain-making efforts. That is the
beginning of the new era in the academy.
All this is perfectly in line with the
tremendous movement of popular educa-
ton outside the schools which has spruug
up within recent years in the United States
1t is a deplorable fact that while the
younger generation of Americans are pro-
vided with abundant facilities for acquir-
ing knowledge, large proportion of their
elders were compelled to arrive at maturity
in com narrative ignorance. 1t is upon this
wide ignorance that charlatanism of most
kinds thrives, and in a measure lends a.
key to unnecessary conflicts Between labor
and capital.
The Chautauqua represented the first
great movement in this country to
cure the prevalent evil of adult
ignorance. It's scheme is excellent and
complete. The next great organized move
ment was the university extension, which.
though working on different lines, is
achieving an equally valuable, result.
Other plans in variety have come into
existence, and all are in recognition of the
great need of a better education as the
foundation of correctliving and intelligent
citizenship.
1t is very interesting fact that women
are far reader than men to take advantage
OF the opportunities, and that in con-
sequence they are steadily advancing and
leaving men behind. This is true par
ticularly of polite education as distln-
guished from scientific and practical
knowledge. A few years ago movement
was started for series of lectures to or
gained bodies of workingmen on the lines
OF citizenship and political economy, but
as we have heard nothing of it lately. we
fear that it has been abandoned. That
is to-day the most inviting field that is
offered for education of the people on
subjects vital to their private and public
lives.
The Academy of Sciences would hardly
find such line of lectures compatible with
its purposes, but still its promised lectures
so far should be regarded as excellent
opportunities for acquiring valuable
knowledge. 1t is even possible to imagine
the academy the inspiration of a purely
philanthropic movement to provide for a
comprehensive series of lectures on the
practical problems of life.

Hon. H. D. Money, who has been elected to
the Senate from Mississippi, will not take his
seat until 1899. The reason he was elected so
long ahead of the time of the beginning of the
term is that under the new constitution of the
State of Mississippi the Legislature will meet
only once every four years. The next session
of the Legislature will be held in 1899.

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

The light on the mountain falls aslant,
The birds in the bush still;
The cricket chirpS in the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves,
A pale star mounts hesky;
The squirrels rustic the golden sheaves
When the cows are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep,
Dark'ning the green of the pine;
Down in the garden the honeybeeS sleep,
Missing the breath Of the kline.
The tinkle of bells is sweet to my ear,
But sweeter the words of song
That the singer is slowly bringing near
As she follows the cows along
She sings of a lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheek grows red when we meet at last
AS the COWS are nearing home.
