DEAR SIR: We were all very much amused It

Great Britain wishes to have a row with us
she can have it.. We are quite ready to annex
the Klondike country and all the Canadian
acce ssories." There Is no doubt you would
be quite ready" to annex good deal OF our
property If you dared. Why not drop this
nonse nsical way of talking. which only tends
10 confirm public opinion here, that your
spite Is merely the natural outcome OF
jealousy. You cannot yet expect to be any
thing but third-rate nation; you are not old
enough. Great nations are not built up in a
vent you from being taken too seriously,
human power of endur ance has its limit, as
you may some day realize, like the cheeky
little schoolboy when he gets a well-merited
clout. Hoping you may learn to treat your
superiors with more respect In the future,

THE HALL OF JUSTICE.

IN July delegation of the North End Improvement Club
appeared before the Buildings Committee of the Board of
Supervisors to protest against the delay in the
ton the Hall of Justice and to that the work be
promptly pushed forward At that time all who were any
way responsible for construction of the building made
for the delay gave promises energy and better
results thereafter.
More than month has passed since those and
promises made and still there is sign of anything like
earnest work on the building The delay which wasteul
the past rapidly developing into public scandal There
evidently influence secret and powerful which retad
ing this important work and njung the City, the taxpayers
and the propeyowners of the neghborhood for the benefit of
private parties not to be credited that work of this
could be postponed and delayed for long time with
widely different from the msy offered
at the session of the Buildings Committee.
1t must be borne in mind that the protest made by the
North End Improvement Club than month ago was
time that public Indignation had been expressed on
this subject Months before that THE CALL had investigated
the and had found the willingness the part OF
every one authority make and to make promises
The affair has fact been dragging for time long the
memory hardly runneth to the contrary On the face
there ample evidence that those in charge of the work
have determined to make it lifetime job matter how great
NAV the damage those doing business in the neghbor
hood or how great the loss to the City.
There surely way of putting end to such waste.
scandaous negligence this The large OF money
instead being put into circulation for the improvement of
business Many workngmen have been seeking for work
without finding who might have been we'll and pofaby
employed the building The sidewalks along the site OF the

rupted the business of merchants has been damaged and
popey.ownes have suffered month after month is
time for the authorities put end to such condition of
things and to listen no longer idle words which neither
past wrongs give of right dealing in the
future.
At the time the North End Improvement Club made its
protest before the Buildings Committee the contractors stated
they intended prosecute the work vigorously right away and
it added they proposed to work at night by of cleo
trio lights. We have what the promise WORTH The

become farce in the way of promises and scandal in the
of public injury 1t time to end it. the present con-

HIDDEN GOLD.

We are told that necessity is the mother OF
invention. tits an old saw which was long
since worn threadbare. We don't need any
other spur to invention nowadays than the
hope of gain. 1t is reckoned that more than q
hundred millions OF gold rest quietly on the
bottom of the ocean-perhaps double that
amount We want IT, and we are bound to get
it. The ordinary diver with his imperfect ap-
paraius Can't quite get hold of 1t. A locomo-
tive diving-boat hhs therefore been invented,
and we may soon be presented with some
sterling facts
The boat can sink itself 800 feet and can
then be propelled on wheels by an electric
motor 1t will safely remain on the bottom
