AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Rev. 8. f. Moore, a Presbyterian missionary
in Korea during the last four years. is at the
Occidental Hotel with his wife and two small
children, en- route for his old home in Chicago;~
having arrived here Saturday night on the Rio
from the Orient. "The work of the Christian
missionaries in Korea is very encouraging"
said he yesterday. "The Chino-Japan war has
proved a help rather than q hindrance to the
spread of Christianity. The Korean Govern
ment has passed some laws doing away with
the worship of idols, and has caused the de-
struction OF certain wayside places of wor-
ship-piles of stones and other monuments
where the natives were won't to observe their
heather rites, and where sorcerers prayed. Fe-
male sorcerers have been forbidden 10 con-
tinue business. The King is a progressive man,
and missionaries are permitted to preach all
over the country. Little congregations are
springing up here and there right along, but
there is still great deal of heathenism left.
More advance has been made in the last two
years than in all the time preceding, for
Protestant missionaries have been in that
country but twelve years. The Roman Catho.
lies have been established there 100 years, and
they claim SO, 900 converts The Koreans are
perhaps more intelligent and receptive than
the Chinese, but ancestral worship is supreme
with them, and that is why it is difficult to
wean them from ldolatry. They believe that
the man who will not sacrifice for an ancestor
has lost his reason, and they assert that the
Korean who embraces Christianity has done
so because of some drug administered by the
missionaries, causing him to become insane"
Rev. Mr.. Moore will return to Korea in a few
months to resume his work.

THE STATE CAPITOL.

The biennial report of the Secretary of
State of California, which has just been
issued for the two fiscal years ending
June 80, 1896, recalls attention once more
to the bad condition of the State Capitol
and recommends several Improvements
which he urges will not only better the
building in many ways, but tend to econ
omy in its management and maintenance.
The Secretary says: "The building. for
the health of its inmates, should be ven
tilated, because when it was erected venti-
lation was entirely ignored. The base
ment is never free from the fouiest air
and many parts therein are as far from
light as Egyptian darkness" There is no
fire protection in the upper stories, and it
is said in the report: "If fire should
start above the third floor of the building
and gain ordinary headway, the entire
building would be destroyed"
In addition to recommendations for i'm
proved ventilation, fire protection and
plumbing, the Secretary points out several
means for maintaining the building with
greater economy than under the present
system. By the expenditure of a few
hundred dollars for two electric motors,
with attachments and pumps, it is claimed
that the elevator and pumps could be run
by electricity and a saving made to the
State of at least $1,000 annually:
The State now pays $500 for water used
in the building and S12, 600 for water for
irIigating purposes. The Secretary thinks
that for $500 well could be sunk which
would furnish all the water needed for the
building and grounds. The quantity of
fuel now used to heat the offices and
rooms by CRATES entails large cost, and it
is believed the expense could be largely
reduced by substituting heaters.
The Secretary asserts: with electric
motors in place, will be able to save the
State in light and fuel within the building
more than $4,000 year. The sum is cer-
tainly worth the saving and the plans sug-
gested for the economy are all the more
worthy OF consideration, since they
promise not only less expense, but greater
degree of security for the building and
comfort for its inmates"
Members-eIect of the Legislature should
read the report with care and go to Sacra-
mento with some knowledge of the prob
lem of the State Capitol, which will con-
front them there. The building has long
been subject of com plant, and something
should be done to make it a fit Capitol OF
such a commonwealth as California.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-09
THE CHANGING SOUTH.

Probably the last great political battle
in the United States in which South any,
where near solid Is to figure has been
fought and won. The great questions to
be discussed and decided by the American
people in the coming elections will be
economic ones in which patriotic South
erners will differ too widely to vote
all one way, and the dread OF negro domi-
nation will cease to be so overwhelming
as to prevent consideration of other issues.
The late election showed the shadow of
coming events. Many good Democrats
and true lovers of the South voted for Nc
Kinley because they thought a settlement
of the financial agitation was the supreme
issue. Many others, whose dislike to the
Republican party was too ingrained to
allow them to vote for Mckinley. simply
threw their votes away by casting them
for Palmer and Buckner. Differing views
about the expediency or honesty of the
unlimited coinage of silver at an arbitrary
ratio have already caused great fractures
to occur in the old time honored solidity.
These fractures will widen into complete
breakup when other questions come to the
front for study and settlement.
Protection will become, as it were, a
new question for the South because of the
rapid increase of manufacturing interests
within hei borders. The Government
ownership or complete control of railroads
will be one of the problems up for practi-
cal solution in the near future, and about
this men will disagree without regard to
the section in which they live. Questions
as to what is the best banking system for
us and about the retirement of the green
backs, will also soon be live political
issues, and about these Southeners will be
unable to think and vote alike.
AS an illustration of the break in the
old Southern unanimity may be cited the
remark OF disting uished Georgian Judge,
made shortly before the election. He had
been lifelong Democrat, but he consid-
cred the financial plank in the last plat
form of that party so wild and such a
menace to the prosperity of the country
that he emphatically declared, ''the good
God surely thought too much of this land
of ours 10 permit the election of Bryan"
So strong an expression from such a man
is a good indication of the temper of
many Sou therners.
The South is additionally conservative.
and though temporarily carried into the
ranks of extreme radicals, will soon re-
turn to her natural bent When ques-
tions are settled without the preiudices OF
sectionalism, discussion will be more COM
plete and fair. Men will sooner arrive at
the feeling they are arguing with friends
and not with enemies. and this will make
truth and ideal government sooner at
tanned

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

Last week we closed up politics. This week
we begin business. The holiday trade will
soon engage the attention OF every body.
The windows OF the stores along the streets
are already bright with the novelties in
tended for the coming Christmas. The
people feel more cheerful than they have
for years, and new activity as well as
Eew hope is visible in all the channels of
business.
The holiday trade. however, will be but
an episode in the great revival that has
begun. 1t will serve only as preliminary
to the far mightier activity that will begin
to move the industries, the energies and
the enterprises of the American people.
In every form of human undertaking,
from the construction of far-reaching rail-
roads to the planting of small orchards,
there will be an onward mover ment this
winter.
Reports from all parts OF the Union
show that the people of every State are be-
ginning to feel the new impulse and are
making preparation for an expansion of
industry in the near future. In many
lines of work this expansion will begin at
once. In others it may have to wait until
the passage of a protective tariff bill,
which is to be confidently counted on
when Mckinley and Republican Con-
gress enter upon Office next March. Even
in those industries that are waiting there
is, however, a sense of confidence that
leads men to make preparations for the
expansion that is to come, and this work
of preparation will give employment to
many who have been without wages or
regular employment during the long years
OF the Democratic depression.
While this stir of activity is making
itself manifest in all parts of the Union,
the people of California will not be idle.
No State in the Union has such vast un-
developed resources as ours, and no pro-
gresslve State fails so far short of manu-
featuring her raw material. We have,
therefore, better prospects and better in
ducements for entering with confidence
upon revival of business than the people
OF any other section of the country.
twill be our own fault if we do not profit
by the advantages given to us by nature
and the opportunities to be afforded by
wise legislation. 1t is that thought which
should be uppermost in our minds as we
begin the work of this first week in new
era of prosperity. Let each man resolve
to do his share in the work of upbuilding
the State, and let him remember that
many great enterprises can be carried out
only by cooperation with his neighbors
OF progressive spirit.
We must work together, as we'll as work
for ourselves. We must join unity OF
action with our activity. We must lend a
helping hanu wherever help is needed, and
follow the standard of industry with a
clear understanding that what benefits
one will benefit all.

TIE MINING INDUSTRY.

The convention OF the California Miners
Association, which Assem- bles in this City
tomorrow, will be the first great indus
trial assem- bly, in the State under the new
conditions produced by the election of
Mckinley. The proceedings of the con-
vention will therefore be followed by the
public with more than ordinary interest,
and it is safe to predict the attention given
will not 60 uhrewarded.
The outlook for no industry in the
Union is brighter than that for California
mining Every feature of the situation is
encouraging. The demand for gold, al
ready great, will be increased by the ex.
pansion of all forms of trade in the new
era OF prosperity; improved scientific pro-
cesses and new mechanisms enable miners
to work with profit ores that were unprofit-
able before; men of capital and enter
prise in the great centers of wealth are
turning their thoughts to California as the
land where gold mining under the new
conditions promises the best results, and
as consequence, the gold-yielding coun-
ties of the State have the prospect of
coming prosperity borne forward by the
triple force OF increased demand, i'm
proved methods and enlarged capital
The impulse OF improvement has been
already felt, and every mining county in
the State will have good reports to make
of work ccomplished or undertaken. The
convention will include many notable
men and in its entirety will truly repre-
sent the energy and confidence of the
State in the coming of better times. San
Francisco will extend to them most cor
dial welcome and will heartily cooperate
with them in all they devise for the ad-
vancement of their golden industry and
the Nalfara of Califnrnia
