The San Francisco call., 1896-03-19
IMPROVING THE MISSION.

Never were the evidences OF intelligent
and energetic cooperation more conspicu-
Gus than in that broad district of San
Francisco indefinitely called the Mission.
1t is true that this district is getting moth
ing like the public expenditures for i'm
provements which its proportion OF taxes
warrants, but its people are organized and
fighting, and that is bound in the end to
bring them everything they deserve. 1t
was only by the hardest kind of organized
work that the appropriation for the Fol-
Som-street boulevard was secured, but that
victory viii make others all the easier.
The Mission is now desirous OF having a
park and high school. These are most
reasonable demands. 1t is impossible for
Mission pupils 70 attend the present high
schools in the Western Addition without
paying car fare and consuming about an
hour and half day in transit. AS many
OF the residents of that district are not so
generously provided with worldly goods
as the residents of the Western Addition,
the situation of the high schools in the
Western Addition works severe, unneces-
sary and unjust hardship.
As James d. Phelan has pointed out in
a discussion of these matters, there are
two prime considerations which determine
the future Importance of that section. One
is its climate, which was the main con-
Germ OF the FraDciscans in their selection
of the spot for the Mission Dolores CEN
tury ago. Its warmth and comparative
freedom from fogs and winds will always
operate in its favor with those who prefer
comfort to commanding and conspicuous
situations on the heights of the Western
Addition. The other is the fact that as
the peninsula becomes filled up the growth
must necessarily be southwark, through
the Mission toward San Mateo, and that
with the development of San Mateo and
Santa Clara counties there will be an in
creasing traffic between those counties and
San Francisco, and it must be conducted
through the Mission.
The City, north of Market street, is
reasonably well supplied with parks, and
besides the minor ones is the nearness of
Golden Gate Park. Excepting Holly Park,
which might be made ornamental but can
never be very useful, the Mission has no
outdoor resting place. North OF Market
street are two high schools, two technical
schools, all the colleges of the State Uni
ve-sity and a Normal School. The region
south of Market street is destitute of these
conveniences. This is an unfair distribu-
ton OF public conveniences and should be
oua6iad

oLEvELANDIsM RBBUKED.

The speeches made in the Senate On the
resolutions to open the Uneompahgre res
ervation in Utah would have caused under
any administration save this a profound
sensation throughout the country. The
main arguments of the speakers were con-
cerned less with the merits OF the bill than
with the action of the Secretary OF the In
terror, who, in dealing with the matter, had
deliberately ignored the law and acted as
ii he were the minister OF an autocrat and
not the secretary of q President bound
under the constitution to the faithful main
tenance of law.
Had charges of such nature been made
only by political opponents of the admin
istration, it is probable they might have
passed in the public mind as something in
the way of campaign material to be used
in the approaching Presidential election.
They were made, however, by men of all
parties and by none with More force or with
more eloquence than by Senator Vest, who
is not only stalwart Democrat, but was for
a long time among the foremost of that
section of the party whose subserviencs to
Cleveland gained for its members the un-
complimentary title of 'cuckoos."
The charges themselves are of a charac-
ter about as serious as can be made against
President without going to the extent of
impeaching him. The constitution in
trusts the President with great powers
greater than those possessed by the Queen
OF England and her Prime Minister COM
bined. In the hands of a headstrong, OBJ
stinate man those powers would be dan
gerous if any precedents were set UP that
allowed them to be stretched beyond their
constitutional limits. Mr. Cleveland has
not only stretched them to an evil degree
himself, but he has encouraged his secre-
| taries to initiate his example. Acts have
been committed by the Secretary OF the
| Treasury and the Secretary of Agriculture,
as we'll as by the Secretary of the Interior,
that show contempt for the laws of Con-
gress and desire TO administer the affairs
OF the country in accordance With indi-
vidual caprice.
1t is to the credit OF the Democratic
party that it has leaders like Vest who
will not condone or excuse such offenses
for the sake OF party harmony. Such acts
merit the fullest rebuke the Senate can
give them, and Democratic Senators act
wisely in taking the lead in administering
the rebuke. Democracy has heavy bur-
dens to carry in the way of legislation en-
acted by the last Congress and it cannot
afford to carry Clevelandism in addition
thereto

ON THE VERGE OF GOOD TIMES.

1t is dangerous to indulge in excessive
optimism, for disappointment often fol-
lows, but to any one who will study with
care the situation in California at the pres
ent time the conclusion must come that
the State is on the verge of what. for lack
of a better term, We call an epoch of good
times.
There are certain industries which are
absolutely essential to the prosperity of a
State or community, and they may be sum-
married, generally, as agriculture in its
various branches, commerce, domestic and
foreign, manufactures, mining, where min
eral ground exists, and cheap and ready
transportation. OF course there are SUBJ
divisions and ramifcations of these gen.
eral essentials, but they cover the field
closely enough for any one except the pro-
fessional collator of statistics.
Taking this, then, as text, it is easy to
see that this great State is on the very edge
and verge of development which is al
most incredible except to those who be-
lieve in material as we'll as scientific evolu-
ton. The early and the latter rains have
relieved the farmer and the orchardist
from anxiety, and the possibility of severe
trosts hereafter is hardly worth consider
ing; our commerce will receive new i'm
petus by the establishment of line OF
steamers in competition with the Pacific
Mail and by increased facilities for inter-
change of products within the State;
mining has taken on, not the aspect of
boom, which is a thing to be deprecated,
but the appearance of a genuine enter
prise, whether it be gold, coal, copper,
quicksilver or petroleum, and the progress
of the Valley Railroad insures cheap and
ready transportation within one of the best
and most favored portions of California.
If to these material advantages be added
the restoration of public confidence, the
disposition of moneyed men 10 make large
investments and to lend their surplus
funds on landed security and the general
feeling in the community that better times
await us we may predict with at least rea-
sonable certainty that California is on the
eve OF prosperous era.

LOOKING TO THE WEST.

The significance of the visit made
to California and the Pacific States by
friends of two prominent candidates
for the Presidency should not be dis
regarded. 1t means that these States
are now recognized as power in National
polities-possibly less ON the score OF their
voting strength than by reason of the new
industrial and political principles which
their interests have created and which are
finding so vigorous expression. In any
event, whatever may be the explanation of
the fact that National politicians are look
ing to the extreme West, the opportunity
of these States for making the most of the
situation is the thing to be considered.
The Trans Mississippi Congress was the
first movement toward a centralized exer-
else of the power which the Western States
possess when acting in concert. The work
of the congress was largely OF an industrial
character. but much attention was paid to
the need of this great section in the way
OF National legislation looking to the lust
recognition and promotion OF its industrial
needs. The only trouble with the congress
was that, embracing as it did all the States
west OF the Mississippi, it included those
having needs not strictly appertaining to
the Pacific States. The more urgent needs
of the latter are adequate irrigation laws,
transportation regulation, improvement
of rivers and harbors, coast defenses and
protection of mineral lands and the public
domain. Among the trans Mississippi
States east of the Rocky Mountains some
of these propositions have no interest and
others are totally absent.
4 concern of National Importance is the
inevitable increase in the population and
development OF the Pacific States. Within
the next ten years this progress undoubt-
edly will be great. Never before in the
history of the country has the pres
sure of California been so strongly felt in
Congress, and never have the needs of the
State been so well understood. The bitter
controversy over the funding bill has edu-
Gated the East ON the transportation ques-
ton, and the suits pending before the Su-
preme Court OF the United States on our
irrigation laws have opened Eastern eyes
to a matter OF very vital concern to US. 1t
is beginning to dawn upon the Eastern in
telligence that the obstacles to the progress
which the superior advantages of Califor-
MIA deserve are artificial and removable,

A MONOPOLY BXAoTI0N.

In recent incident occurring IN tha1
section the Visalia Delta has found gooa
means of illustrating to Eastern peopie
why California is opposed to the oou.hein
Pacific of Kentucky and whv they are
fighting BY every means in their power ali
proposals for refunding the railroad oeo's
and every other scheme that means a per-
petuation of the monopoly.
The incident recorded by the Delta Is tne
experience of a gentleman named J. d.
Mills, who recently ordered from WIRE
fence company of Holly, Mich, car
load of material. On the shipment the
Southern Pacific made go heavy charge
that an inquiry into the matter was un-
dertaken An extract from a letter written
by the secretary OF the wire company to
Mr.. Mills is quoted by the Delta, as fol-
lows:
You perhaps understand from our former
letter that we had rate of 80 cents per hum
dred pounds to terminal points in California.
Some of them we named 70 You, Stockton
among others. We found, when we came to
make an investigation, that from stockton 10
Tulare the distance WAS 166 miles. and that
the regular local rate was SO cents. We an
ticipated, from Information that we had for
merly received, that the rate could be reduced.
and we made application to. the railroad people
for special commodity rate, and, after forcing
the rate all that was possible, we found that
the Southern Pacific people would not make
any reduction, hence you will see that they get
the 63-eent local rate for hauling your car
from Stockton to Tulare, the distance named,
and we only pay so cents on the long haul OF
nearly 5000 miles.
You no doubt viii look at this matter in the
same light that We do-that it is genuine
steal. Anywhere in this section of the country
We could send this car at least 800 miles at the
rate OF u cents per hundred. and they gel 63
cents Tor the short distance mentioned.
This instance of a charge so excessive
that the Eastern writer calls it "a genuine
steal" does not by any means stand alone.
1t is noted solely because it happens TO be
one that has come to light. There is
hardly shipper in California who could
not, from the records of his own business,
furnish many more of a similar kind. and
some of charges even more excessive. Ii
is just because such offenses are so COM
mon that the Californians have become
aroused to the truth that if the State
would flourish the monopoly must be
oyerthroWn.

BALANCED ON A RIDGE.

About FIVE miles from San Francisco on the
San Bruno road stands house occupied by
a Portuguese gardener that is practically
balanced on ridge of clay. Twoyears ago the
house stood on comparatively level spot with
q small gully, washed by the rain, ABOUT zen
feet on either side of it. The position OF the
house was really the bottom OF holloW De-
tween two hills, and the naturai eHeet ot 1he
rain was to make both gullles WASH toNafo

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

"Kenilworth," the first American opera OF
any serious pretensions which has made g.
European success, is shortly to be performed
in New York by the Damrosch Company. The
work is by Bruno Oscar Klein, German
American, who is now 3S years of age, and
who is said to have waited for his first dramatic
work till his individuality had thoroughly
asserted itself. The librettist of "Kenilworth"
is William Muller, who is we'll known among
the COMMUNICATIONS of New York. The
work was produced for the first time at the
Stadttheater in Hamburg on February 13,
1885. The great Wagner Interpreter, Frau
Klafsky, created the role of Amy Robsart,
while her husband, Otto Lohse, conducted the
orchestra. The opera scored an enormous
success. At q meeting of the intendants of the

that he has put up are so weak that they
couldn't even keep it from falling over should
the earth wash away more on one side than
another so as to throw it out of balance. The
owner has plenty of land on which his house
could have been moved with but little trouble,
but for some reason he seems to prefer running
the chances OF losing it altogether. A few
heavy transforms would soon cut out the little
earth remaining under it and wash 1t down
against culveFt under the railroad track.
