THE SUNDAY CALL.

To-morrow's issue of THE CALL will con-
tain a number of special features of inter-
est. Among them is an exhaustive article
on "The Amateur Photographers OF San
Francisco" profusely illustrated with
some of the best specimens of work turned
out by these artistic enthusiasts.
The story of the old "Monadnock," from
the time she came around the Horn to a
description of the work that has been done
on her at Mare Island during the last
twenty years, will be told, and an inter
estirg history it is.
The Song of the Sword" is strong,
stirring poem, by J. L. Simpson.
Miss Russell gives another of her read
able chapters on horse guidance.
W. c. Morrow contributes an extraor-
dinary account of a San franciscan who
lost four years of his life.
The page devoted to the most recent de-
velopments of the sciences and arts has
proved to be one of the best features of the
Sunday issue. The children's page, the
atrieal news and gossip, the literary depart
ment, articles devoted to fashions for men
and women, are some additional special
attractions, and besides these will be ex-
haustiye reviews of the great questions OF
the day at home and abroad. THE SUNDAY
CALL is particularly well adapted to send
to friends at distance.

TOO MUCH INVENTION.

The age of invention has conferred many
blessings on mankind. No one viii dispute
that; yet when we contemplate some of the
lengths TO which the inventive faculties are
leading u.s. We are driven to the thought ex-
pressed by a thrifty resident OF the riot dis
trict in 1877, who after he had filed his house
with merchandise from the DESTROYED rail
road cars, saw the flames reach his own dwell
ing and its store of Illicit wealth, and ex-
claimed, "Be jabers, this thing has been car
ried too farl"
That thought is made especially pertinent
by the reports of two new inventions. First, as
the least impossible and intolerable of the two
is that statement of the discovery of certain
rays of light which are claimed to have
the power to bring the interior of the human
system in view. This may have its
uses for surgeons and other disagree
able pryers into our anatomy; but for
general use we must protest that we
40 not want our departments of the interior
brought into the sunlight of publicity.
Beauty is well known to be no more than skin
deep; and the most prepossessing specimen of
How much more terrifying is the idea of hav-
ing lungs, liver and other essential parts of
the human, which are made 10 be used, but
not seen, exposed to viewl
This, however, is q tolerab BILE matter beside
the dreadful exposures threatened by the al
legged invention which will tr0nsfer thought
without the trouble of using speech for that
purpose. This is threat TO the peace of man.

that the check upon undue exposure

which he exercised, will not regard his
achievement as being any the less in
famous. The wonder then will be that a
man with ability and power of so remark
able an order had not made himself the
idol of the country by employing his
splendid talents for the country's good.
The defeat of the funding bill would be
the downfall of the invincible power which
this company has exercised for so many
years. 1t would result in breaking OF
the bonds which shackle the prosperity of
California, and would open these broad
and fertile acres to the enjoyment of mil
lions of our people. In the defeat of this
bill we have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose-not even risk to run. Mr..
Huntington's interests are equally as
great, and one side or the other must so
down in this tremendous struggle for ex-
istence.
California is not making as hard a fight
as it might. The local governing boards
throughout the State are not putting
forth their strongest effort. The Chamber
of Commerce of San Francisco, composed
Of leading citizens, upon whose activity In
the premises so much depends, has set an
example to every similar organization in
the State. The work being done by the
Committee of Fifty of San Francisco
should be sufficient to inspire every other
community in California.
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-25
A DESPERATE EFFORT.

All the evils of railroad power and
tyranny are crystallized in the funding
proposition pending before Congress. The
overwhelming Importance of the situation
is so well understood by Mr.. Huntington
that it is not surprising to see him focusing
all the resources at his command in the
struggle. If he succeed in securing the
passage of this bill he will close his
wonderful career with an achievement
more daring in its conception than any
other financial proposition that ever rose
between the Government and any of its
citizens. Compared with it the marvellous
skill with which he secured an appropria-
tion for the building of his railroad and
the incredible deftness with which he
pocketed its earnings instead of employing
them in the payment of his debt viii ap-
pear mean and insignificant.
The passage of a funding bill would be
so gross wrong perpetrated by the
government upon itself with wide-open
eyes and full knowledge of how it has
been swindled IN the past that it will
stand IN history as the most remarkable
thing that citizen Of the United States
ever accomplished. 1t will not concern
Mr.. Huntington to reflect that coming
generations, while maryeling at the power

to sell his stock to Mr.. Kohlsaat and thus
let him have full control over the Times

prise seems to be doing well, he says, but

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

The League of American Wheelmen can
not find wiser or more patriotic thing to
do than to throw all its influence into the
hight for the bill now before Congress in
reference to highways. The bill provides
for commission charged with the follow
lug duties: ''It shall be the duty of this
commission to inquire generally how the
Government may further promote the i'm
proyement of highways, and among other
things to consider the expedieney OF and
best methods of providing for: ~ The
scientific location of highways upon the
public domain; (2) the employment of the
Geological Survey IN the discovery of road
materials; (3) the free testing of all road
material offered; a. construction of model
roads and instruction in road making at
agricultural colleges and experimental
stations; (5) the same at the Military
Academy, and when practicable at all
institutions having military Instructor -
Evidently the leading idea of the bill is
the military necessity of good roads. That
IS excellent, but far greater value which
they would represent would be purely
commercial. 1t is an extraordinary fact
that although our civil war disclosed the
great need of good roads no heed was
given the terrible lesson learned from the
use of bad roads. The suffering delay and
expense which they entailed must have
been enormous.
1t is undeniable that the bad roads of
this country have been an important factor
in the development of railroad monopolies
and the retardation of inventions making
wagon roads available for traffic purposes.
Recently traction engines have been
brought out which give great promise of
remarkable advances in that direction, but
1T is evident that in the absence of good
roads they will be useless. Even with
horses for the drawing power good wagon
road Is almost as valuable as a regulator
OF rail transportation charges as river or
canal Had the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin valleys. for instance, been provided
with excellent roads there would be very
much less cause for complaint on the score
of railroad exLortion than there is at
present.
If there were the least element of ex-
pertinent in the proposition of good roads
it might be expected to encounter intelli-
gent opposition, but there is not. Every
one of the old countries of Europe has
demonstrated the value of good roads and
makes enormous annual expenditures in
their construction and maintenance. This
Nation is behind all others in the world in
this regard except the most backward and
unenlightened countries OF the Orient.
