THE FREE MARKET.

The discussion on Wednesday between
the State Harbor Com missioners and rep
resentatives of the State Grange and Pat
rons of Husbandry concerning the pro-
posed free market in this City brought
forth but two facts of Importance. These,
however, were sufficient to show that the
enterprise is one which cannot be carried
out with wisdom or efficiency until it has
been more thoroughly considered.
The facts of note which were disclosed
during the discussion were that the guam
tity of fruit and perish able products an
nually coming to San Francisco from the
farms of California hardly 1alls short OF
200, 900 tons, and that as no wharf of the
City has capacity exceeding 1000 tons at
least five wharves would be necessary TO
supply accom- m cd ations for the proposed
markets. The figures were given by Com
missioner Harney, and may be accepted
as accurate.
Every rejecting citizen will draw from
these figures the conclusion that the prob
lem involved in the proposed market is
one of considerable com plexity. 1t will
require no little study to devise a means
for making public market tor so large an
dnOuHl VI pIOQuCls dS COLn cS
to this port. The amount of wharf space
required will be large, and there will have
to be appliances provided for the econom-
ical handling of the goods. 1t would be
unreasonable, therefore, to expect any
hasty action upon the subject. We must
determine the extent of the enterprise
and count the cost before we begin to lay
the foundations.
tits gratifying to know that the Farmers
Club of this City has decided to take up
the consideration OF the subject, and is at
present engaged in obtaining the data
which will be required for the solution of
the various problems involved. When
all the facts have been gathered and care
fully digested we will then be able to ap-
proach the subject with fair prospects Of
finding proper solution for all OF its prob
lens. In the meantime it is well to keep
the subject before the public, and it is to
be hoped that at the next discussion be-
fore the Harbor Commissioners, which
has been fixed to take place next week,
more in the way of facts and statistics
will be submitted than was the case at the
meeting on Wednesday.

OARNIVALS In CALIFORNIA.

Is the California fiesta on the decline
The anxious query is inspired by cer-
tain dubious intim ations let fall re-
Gently by our interior contemporaries.
These journals are closely acqua inted
with carnivalism in its various stages,
many of them having been afflicted with
it at one time or another, and they may
be presumed to know something of it's
prospects for the future in their respec-
tive localities.
They somewhat vaguely give the i'm
preston that, so far as they are concerned,
the prospects are not particularly rosy,
the suggestion being that. while a carni-
val itself may be enjoyable as an enter
tainment of the festive moment, the aft
ermath may turn out a considerably less
prosperous epoch than they (the news
papers) had been iollied into predicting as
its inevitable consequence.
The papers OF Los Angeles seem to be
not exactly pleased with the taste which
fingers with them from the last fiesta
that they witnessed. The final night
of the carnival, when reyels ran
high and the heels of the silken-hosed
women ran higher, when all the saloons
in town were crammed with hilarious
frolickers, when society executed the
skirt dance to the confusion of the
moon and all his modest stars, and
Rome of 1000 years ago was revived
for night, still fingers unpleasantly
in many minds thereabouts. and would
gladly be eradicated from local history if
Dame Gossip would consent to forego so
savory a morseI for her unctuous tongue
to daily with.
Los Angeles fiesta of 1897 has evidently
driven nail in the coffin of carnivalism
In California. The fashion may recover
the shock and live to see the nail rust in
the coffin boards and the boa rds them
selves become petriied with amazement
at its exubsrant vitality, but present indi-
cations point otherwise from more direc-
tions than one. Santa Cruz turned against
carnivalism last year after its most eiabo-
rate effort in that line. Such seems to be
the usual course by which the fashion
will be led to an early grave.
As to the desirability of such an end
some tentative deductions may be drawn
from past experiences. 1t is now generally
conceded that carnivals are not, in the
long run, profitable TO q community,
which removes the practical argument in
their favor. This leaves them to be con-
sidered merely as occasions of amusement,
in which light they indubitably shine.
And there is something pleasing in the
idea of these lowered gatherings disport-
ing themselves in the spring sunshine as
merry children of nature. The theory is
beauteously pristine in its innocence.
Throw off dull care" and be children

Santa Barbara Pres.

District Attorney A. A. Oglesby has refused

c. Gammill yesterday officially notified him
that wholesale complaints had been sworn to

house and the other q fruit and fish establish
ment Mrs. Fernandez applied an opprohri-
Gus epithet TO Mrs. Bonardy, and the latter at
once caused the formers arrest, the other re-
taliating by causing Mrs. Bonardy's arrest.
The warIfke Colonel ]. L. Fernandez could
stand this no longer, and accordingly he had
Peter Bonardy arrested, but the latter In turn
had the colonel pulled.
The four persons are charged with disturb
ing the peace, and q special counsel called at
the District Attorneys office to ascertain what
that official proposed to do in the complicated
premises. Mr.. Oglesby, however, was equal to
the occasion, for he replied: 81 eat beeisteak
with one and fish with the other, wheret ore
am utterly disqualified and decline TO inter
fers in the case" The surprised attorney
then added: "Pn tell Grant Jackson. the

RELIEF FOR THE POOR.

Colonel Holland Of the Salvation
Army Has Arrived.
Colone Thomas ]. Holland of the Sal
vation Army. general superintendent of
the mems social affairs, arrived in this
City from Portland yesterday. The
colonel is on tour of inspection and has
already visited the principal cities OF the
East. This is his first visit to San Fran
cisco, and he is particularly Impressed
with the colonization scheme in Cali
fornia.
1.-THE sugar beet plan is the grandest
scheme ever designed for the benefit of
the poor. Everywhere in the East,' he
said. "people are talking of the wonderful
works going on in California, and if the
idea proves successful, and there seems
TO be 10 reason why it shouldn't, scores of
Eastern cities stand ready to take up the
scheme. Many different plans have been
adopted in order to relieve the unem-
ployed and give them homes, but this one
is the completest in all its details of
any l have ever run across"
81 am much impressed by the public
spirited manner with which so many of
the leading citizens of San Francisco have
taken up the matter of relief for the un-
employed. l think can truthfully say
have never witnessed so much desire to
help on the part OF any community. The
colonization plan especially suggests great
promise to my mind, and the army or
ganization, backed by such an influential
and able committee as is behind it, seems
to me TO have within it all the essentials
of immediate and permanent success. l
am very glad of the opportunity to make
the personal acquaintance of the warm
hearted people of San Francisco"
Colonel Holland will be in this City only
a short while--ten days at the outside. He
says that he would like to be here when
the colonization scheme is put into opera
ton. but he has fears that it will be inn
possible. However, Commander Booth
Tucker has promised to come, so the
launching of the great scheme will have
the highest official backing.
