CHRIS BUCKLEY IN TOWN
The Ex.San Francisco Boss Here Commin-
Cling With Friends

Christopher A. Buckley, who up to six
years ago was the Democratic leader of
San Francisco and incidentally of the
state, arrived in this city on the regular
south bound train yesterday afternoon
His family Is on the way to Boston, and
Buckley accompanied them in their
journey so far as this city. He was ac-
companied by Alexander Greggains, the
San Francisco pugilist, who is acting to
his blind employer as a sort of valet.
The two have apartments at the Hotel
Hollenbeck.
II Will gladly talk with you upon any
subject excepting politics." is the way
the erstWhlle leader greeted The Herald
reporter VINO accoSted him for an inter-
view at the Hoffman last evening. He
had Just been at dinner with Ed. Niles,
VINO is a personal friend OF long years
standing, and he appeared to be at per-
feet peace with the world. He has not
been in this city since the Democratic
state convention held here in 1888, and
he expressed himself as surprised at the
hustle and activity which he felt but
could not see in evidence all about him.
MY mission here has no political sig
nificance," said he. Il accompanied my
family so far as Los Angeles, intending

do not believe that the two Democratic
factions contesting for supremacy up at
San francisco can effect any compro-
mise, and the issues between them will
have to be fought out before the state
convention. Both will hold primaries
and both will send delegations on to Sac
ramento. My name has been used in
the fight, but I have absolutely no in

tics absolutely and have been for the past
six years. one thing, however, / know
to be fact, and that is that what is
known as the Junta does not represent
one-fifth of the Democratic vote of San
Francisco county. Should the party
make the showing it should, my personal
opinion is that the Democrats will elect
this year every office upon their ticket
in San Francisco county, as well as every
member of the Legislature and the con-
-gressmen from both the fifth and third
districts. Judge James Mcguire will I'M
doubtedly be again sent on to Washing
ton, and his colleague will, in my opinion
be Thomas j. Clunie."

THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA.

English settlers in South Africa are
in great danger from the uprising Of
the Matabeles. Buluwsyo, the chief
English settlement In Matabellasnd, is
said to be surrounded by hostile ma

capture by them. In that event the
world will be Mortified by one Of the
most terrible msssacres of modern
times. but the triumph of the savages
would be brief. Civilization is making
steady strides in that country, with the
promise that within the next fifty
years republic will arise there, rivsl-

least expense, and the most useful mem.
Der of society is he that produces the
most good at the least expense, or with
the least admixture of concomitsnt evil.
Undue money expense is an evil in it
self, for 1t represents extravaganza and
waste, develops greed among the bene-
fciaries and gives rise to many other
evils.
A richly endowed institution for edu-
cstional purposes may attain Its aims so
far as its pupils are concerned. and yet
corrupt Its managers and teachers. For
II the current revenue be N excess OF
the needs, extravaganza is invited, ssl-
aries are increased beyond the normal
limit, envy, malice and observation-disclosures
are nouriEhed In the bosoms Of the
teachers who are schemiug to better
their own condition, false reports are
published to cover up the bad manages
mens and quite likely the school itself
suffers in the end from the debasement
Of the teaching staff. In such case the
expense in evil counterbalances the
greater part Of the good done.
In vaiuing the works of men this
principle should always be kept in
mind-that the cost-in q broad SENSE
should always be weighed against the
result. The gross returns Of earnings
tell US very little about the results of
any business enterprise. 1t is the net
returns that represent profit. What do
our charities and our educational enter
prises cost? What is the net return?
These are gu stions we should ask ours
selves periodically land should try to
answer truthfullg, without prejudice,
for in this manner we may learn through
experience how to improve our methods
OF doing good, so as to get with it the
least admixture of evil in expense
