man travels about the country in the year
1897 and is unable to see so prominent per-
son as General Prosperity he is certainly an
object Of pity.

When come October days.
The gray solemnity of autumn lends
The sadness of a tale that sadly ends;
The doves call is the softer for the tone
That hints of old regrets and hearts alone;
The cricket dining rises like the gong
That sounds from some retreating fairy thrOng;
Across the hills there hangs an azure haze
As some vast web in prehistoric DAYS:
And echo answers all sounds readily.
AS though the world. too, heaves a sob and sigh
When come October days
When come October days
The nuts drop 10 the splashing pools where trout
Napoleons of their spheres-the minnows rout:
The wagons TO the orchards go and come,
Where chiGrens voices mellow TO hum.
The iecks of and shadow lie like scales
Upon the road that craws on through the wales
2 he leaves fal-hiding deeper from our view
The forms and faces Of the ones we knew.
And we reflect we re nearer TO the time
When hearts shall feel no chill of the rime
When come October days.

EFFECT IN ENGLAND.

Defeat of Arbitration Treaty En-
cites Bitter Comment
LONDON, May S.-The rejection of
the arbitration treaty by the United
States Senate has been received with
much disappointment here and many
hard things are being said about Am
erican politicians. The weekly news
papers indulge in caustic comments on
the subject.
The Saturday Review says: "If it
has done nothing more, the disposition
of this unhappy measure has opened
the eyes of many Englishmen to the
bitter feelings entertained against this
country by a large section of the Am
orleans, and constantly fomented by a
large section of the American press"
The Spectator remarks: "The fail
ure of the treaty, rightly or wrongly,
will be regarded as a sign that Amer
lea does not want position of perma-
nent friendliness with the old coun-
try. The result is deplorable, but it
is no good to blink at the fact"
The Daily Chronicle uses the rejec-

ton of the treaty as peg upon which
to hang a rabid denunciation of the
MARQUIS of Salisbury's Premiership,
which it says represents a record of
failure almost unparalleled in the his
tory Of England" aiding: England
hardly sank so low in the evil days Of
the Stuarts."

BALBOA AVENUE,

The relief fund for labor on Balboa
avenue needs augmenting without delay.
Thousands of dollars have already been
devoted 10 the work, and these thousands
have been well expended, not only in pro-
viding the City with a matchless drive
way from our magnificent park down to
the glorious sea, but also in affording
timely EN- pioyment 10 hundreds of labor.
ing men who, with their families mig hi
otherwise have suffered want and distress
during the early months of the year.
Harpily, the summer has brought work
in the fields for many of them j9st as
the avenue is nearly finished.
Some days must elapse before the
avenue can be completed, and few hun
dred dollars are still needed to finish it ac-
cording to the plans. If the money is not
forthcoming delay will be the necessary
consequence. and consid ering the splend ID
progress made thus far, it is hardly the
time to halt when the goal is only.a few
steps further on.
The people of San Francisco have done
nobly in contributing to the enterprise.
1t benefits us all, and has been besides q
practical charity. Now let Balboa avenue
be finished Immediately. The people
should fill the California Thearer from
pit to dome on the occasion of the relief
fund benefit tomorrow night, and enough
money should then be realized to speedily
complete Balboa avenue from park to
ocean.

1t seems t. me that there can be only one

sorles so that the masses will get the benefit
OF the use Of labor-saYing machinery and

working class buying from big stores, etc.,
they do only what is naturel under the COM :
petftive sysIem-they do what the manufac-
turer does VINO puts in labor-sGping ma

turer-that he does not get the support of

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE,

The idea of establishing in connection
with the University of California a Col
lege OF Commerce is one that ought TO
commend itself to general favor IJwould
be an advance step in our educational sys-
tenn, and the pronounced success of
schools of this character in Europe is sui
icient guarantee of their value. San
Francisco, for instance, sitting at the
western gateway OF the Nation, is destined
to draw in great measure the commerce
OF the Orient as well as goodly portion of
that OF South America.
At the present time our trade with Asia,
South America and the islands of the Pa
cihc is small in comparison with what it
should be. Such trade can be and should
be developed to immense proportions.
The trouble is undoubtedly that we do
not, as a general thing. fully appreciate
our many advantages in q commercial
sense. Yet on foreign trade the future
greatness and prosperity of this port must
largely depend.
An everyday business education, such
as our schools. public and private, now
afford does not prepare one for purely
commercial pursuits. This is a distinct
proposition of Itself. The study of the
commercial relations of the United States
with foreign countries, especially so far as
our Pac tic Coast interests are concerned; :;
the study of questions of trade, COM
merce. manufactures and shipping. would
arm young men of requisite ability for
ready usefulness and, in fact, for direct
EN- barkation in commercial life.
Such school as that proposed would
teach the methods of trade in the coun-
tries with which we deal, and with which
we aim to extend continuously our COM
mercial dealings. The financial systems
OF those countries would be made clear;
the commercial needs of lands across the
sea, and of lands bordering on the Pacific
south of the equator. would be thoroughly
exploited and explained; the languages
OF the people of those countries would be
taught; and, in this manner, the couise
OF the commercial college would enable
its students to undertake inteIigently
commercial missions TO foreign states and
fix them admirable to be agents of local
asgregations of capital, or even Consus
in foreign states.
There is much TO be said in favor of such
school, and the regents of the State Uni
versity should be encouraged TO the end
that sucn department may be created in
connection with that progressive institu-
tion of learning of which California is

Last Tuesday night James A. Garfield Corps
No. 81 of the Grand Army OF the Republic
which is noted for its entertainments and So
cials, had a very pleasant party in Social Hall
in the Alcazar building, at which there were
present many of the friends of the corps and
mem bers of James a. Garfield Post. The affair
was under the management of Mrs. K. NJ. dow
ard, Mrs. Esther Dunn, Mrs. Mary FowzeI, Mrs
Jones, Mrs. wilkins and Mrs Dibble. There
was a fine programme of Dances and during
the evening the committee prevailed upon
Mrs Sarah Beyersen, the supreme grand cuiei
companion OF the Grand Circle OF the COmpal-
ions OF the Forest, 10 sing Chinese song
She did so in style that was 1nimitable, and
drew forth well-earned pleudits.
This corps is already making arrangements
for grand campfire and entertainment to be
given in the early part of September. There
will be a liberal providing of the kind of Ts-
tiOns that were served in the army during the
War OF the Rebellion to the soldiers. Tin
cups, pie plates. iron spoons, and pipes and to-
bacco will form features of the meal to be
served up and entertainment OF the old SOL
