THE DAWNING PROSPERITY.

Substantial indications of the dawn Of
prosperity are to be observed in every
part OF the country to-day. The press is
continuously drawing attention to the
welcome facts OF new enterprises spring
ing up and OF fresh industrial activity.
For example, in yesterdays issue of
The CALL appeared dispatches and in
terviews which show plainly that the gen.
erak business situation throughout the
United States is steadily improving.

Fourth National Bank of New York Civ.

exceptionally bright prospects on eyery
hand. "The prcs of merchandise" de-
clares Mr.. Cannon, sis upon a frmer

and wheat can be maintained merchants

the times toward a grand revival of busi-
Iess ali over the country.

A COMPETITION OF NATIONS

The Paris Exposit on of 1900 bids fair
to eclipse all previous attempts of the
kind in history. 1t is even po sible that
1t may so tar surpass its predecessors that
mpaTison will be rendered awkward.
America will doubtless hold an exposition
during the next quarter of a century that
will dwarf even this magnitudiDous affair
o. Gallia's sons; but it behooves us 10
fully realize that the Parisians are going
to be world beaters in tins respect at the
dawn OF the twentieth century.
America doesn't want TO be left in the
shade there either, and it is time some
steps were taken to the end that indus
tries and resources may be amply repre-
sented at the grand French show. The
nations of Europe all have made great
strides OF progress during the last decade
or two, ana the ma ajority of the powers
have requested allotmeats of space OF such
an area that the idea almost staggers one.
Here are the comparative figures of the
pace allotted in the Paris Exposition of
1889 and OF that requested for the one
three years hence:

THE FREE MARKET EXPERIMENT.

The decision of the Harbor Commits
sioners to set aside the Pacific-street wharf
for an experiment. in carrying ont the act
providing for the establishment OF free
market for perishabl products in this
City offers an Immediate opportunity for
testing tue value of such market and
determining the extent to which it is like
ly to be used by the producer, of the
State in selling their goods 10 San Fran
cisco consumers.
The location OF the wharf is not an ideal
| one for such market and that fact will
to some extent handicap the experiment
1t seems, however to be the best that can
be provided at this time, and must be ac-
cepted If We are to have an experiment at
all during the present season. In other
respects the wharf is we'll fitted for the
proposed uses and is amply large enough
for the purpose of making the test which
the Comm issIoners very properly desire
before entering upon the expenditure of
money on an enterprise of so great a
scope and such great cost.
The amount Of perishabe products sent
10 this City from the farms, orchards,
vineyards and market gardens of the
State is enormous. Statistics gathered by
the Farmers Club and By the State Board
Of Trade make it evident that a single
market capable of handling speedily and
economically all the gooIs of this kind
would be one OF the largest MARKET struc-
lures in the world. 1t will require a large
amount OF space and will entail difficult
problems of transportation and handling
facilities in its construction. Clearly,
therefore, it is wise to LOOK before We leap,
and TO make an experiment before any
thing costly is undertaken in the enter
prise.
The experiment having been decided
upon, the project should be given every
advantage possible under the circum-
stances. II there IS any way by which
success can be attained that way should
be adopted. The test ought to be made
largely under the control. or at least ac-
cording to the ideas, of it's promoters and
advocates, so that the failure, if it comes,
may not be attributed to any lack of sup
port or perseverance on the part of those
having the experiment in charge.
There can be no question that free
market is needed. The perishahle prod
ucts of the State, which make so large a
part of the food supply of the people of
San Francisco, are now handled and
brought to consumers under conditions
which are wasteful of time, money and
energy. Municipal evolution should be
accompanied by municipal improvement
in all matters of this kind. In the eco-
monica! handling and distri ribution OF prod
uce lies often all tue profit which is neces-
sary for the maintenance of industry.
As Mckinley said at Philadelphia, 'The
maker must find The taker." The proposed
market will help the California producer
TO find the consumer OF his goods without
expending to pay the cost of delivering
them all that he receives. The experiment
at the foot of Pacific street will be watched
with interest, and it is to be hoped 1t will
amply demonstrate the possibility OF pro-
viding in the near future market which
will be all that is desired.

DONG this again and again, under condi-
tions which leave no doubt"
such is the declaration of Professor 3.
| K Langley OF the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington. He is the inventor OF an
aerodrome, or ''hyins machine" which
maze successful flights more than year
ago on the Potomac River. His descrip-
ton OF this remarkable invention, together
with details of his experiments, and re-
| productions of instantaneous photographs
| of the aerodrome obtained during its
hight, is contained in the current number
| OF MeC9ure's Magazine.
Professor Langley has discovered and
applied the principle upon which rests
navigation of the air. There is nothing
OF the balloon principle about the aero
drome. The balloon floats on account OF
It's hghtness. but by the "hying machine
Is meant mechanical bird, something
much heavier than the air its bulk dis
places. The aerodrome is built almost en-
urely OF metal, and driven by steam
engine. The absolute weight of the
machine, including that OF the engine
ana all appurtenanees. is less than thirty
pounds, and the distance from tip to tip
OF the supporting surfaces is about twelve
or fourteen feet. The method of propul-
SION Is by aerial screw propellers, and
there Is no gas or other aid for lifting it
into the air, this being done simply by its
own internal energy.

TASK, and he now opines that we may live

mat they are destined to change the whole
conditions OF warfare admits of no doubt.
Professor Langley work ceases with the
demonstration of the practica bility of
mechanical flight. He says that the world
must look to others for the nsxt stage,
which is the commercial and practical
| development of the idea.
Ihe world, indeed, will be supine,"
says he. "if it does not realiz, that new
possibility has come to it. and that the
great universal highway overhead is now
soon TO be opened"

GEORGE EUSTAOE BARNES.

One of the last OF the old school Of Cali
fornia journalists passed out of the world
with the kind soul of George Eustace
Barnes. Few writers on the Pacific Slope
were better known than he, and few, if
any, in his day maintained themselves in
closer touch with " Nestern men of distin-
guished character and commanding in
duence.
lie was one of the founders of THE CALL
and its primal editor in-chief. Mark
Twain, some thirty-o d years ago, was
one of his reporters. His mind was rich
in "reminiscences of pioneer times, and
when he wrote OF the vigorous spirits OF
sbe exciting early days of California s
statehood his vivid pictures rendered fa-
millar the famous people of the past,
bringing them, as it were, with the wand
of O conjurer into the living and moving
present.
He possessed a wonderful store of in
formation, and rare was the theme upon
which he could not descant with inteIli-
gence.
As writer he was both ready and
graceful He had a faculty OF clothing
the dryest subjects in garbs that made
them attractive.
In the latter part OF his career he was
best known, perhaps. as a critic Of the
drama, and by actors and managers his
DEGREES were invariably respected as thor
oughly conscientious and just. Booth,
Barrett, Mccullough had been among his
friends and admirers; aud his anecdotes
OF those luminaries of the stage of by
gone period would have made volume
replete with interest
His friends were myriad. Selfshness
was foreign to his nature, and he was lib
eral to a fault. His honor and integrity
were unim peachable. At 20 years of age
he was still active in the field OF his choice.
when death suddenly called him. 1t
might be said that If for every generous
act of his rose were laid upon his bier
his ashes would be buried deep in
flowers.
