THE EFFICACY OF RIOTS. "

IT T the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland on / \ Sunday the Rev. Robert F. Coyle made point in connection with the late demonstration over fixing water III that city which merits than passing glance. The learned doctor consid- cred the attempt of the people to make 1t warm for the Councilmen who sold them to the water combine as exceedingly reprehensible, and he declared that the very persons who became rotously indignant over the passage of the order responsible for electing the Council In other words, he sidered Of the people placing lot of bood- lers in office and then grumbling because they corrupt.
 Perhaps the view taken of the affair by Dr. Coyle cannot be controverted. He seems to have analysed the situation exactly. The people of Oakland did elect the boodlers, and it is in evidence that they rioted when they found they had been sold to the water combine But, in our oplnion the learned gentleman in fixing responsibility upon the people of Oakland did not descend to first principles. If the people are not to riot in like this what they to do? Nobody knew the booders before election or understood their game. They all represented themselves to be honest men, and each and every one promised if elected to do his duty. The people of Oakland undoubtedly voted for them upon the strength of these representations
 The "riotous conduct" which Dr. Coyle so serious ly reprehends therefore, proceeded from anger, not from desire to escape responsibility Having been deceived, the people of Oakland adopted Dosterous method of manifesting themselves What else could they do? Should they sit down quietly and say Dear dear, dear, how dreadful Next time will elect honest men," How the people to know honest men when they them? Take "Stringless Woodward for example. He has been protesting his honesty ever since the "wah," and there gene ral belief that he would be above temptation. Yet no sooner is he appointed Councilman than he goes over, body bag and brooches, to the water combine. What would Dr. Coyle have the people do with pompous old frauds like this Grand Army pretender? Send them to a reformatory?
 Or course, riots always bad. Their effect on communities is destructive of social order and sub versive of law But they the only things, except over-ripe eggs, which make any impression upon legislative boodlers. II Councilmen, Supervisors and legislators who sell their constituents to corpora tions could be rotten-egged or mobbed every time they are caught the work in time, perhaps, they might be educated up the danger Of deceivng the people Eggs are be preferred to riots but are not disposed to quarrel with the people of Oakland over the methods they adopted of manifesting their dislike in the cases of these Councmen. They might have considered eggs too mild for "Strngless" Woodward and his pals.

MODERN ARTILLERY.

The German artillery has been remodeed and the French have nearly equipped themselves with new guns The German change cost s50Uo0,0oo. Their gun is three inches and the French three and i've eighths The Trench is quick firing breech-loader and shoots ten shots minute. Two Of these guns equal to battery of six of the kind With which our army is now armed The rapid fire necessitates two ammunition wagons with each gun and greatly increases both the cost of the gun and the difficulty of keeping it supplied in the field. The new French guns cost $10,000 gun, with 1000 rounds gun The sooner our ordnance department begins on quick firing gun the better. The change antiquates our artillery and leaves it where the armament of half our fleet Is o-day-hopelessly out of date-Phadel- pha Press

IF ONLY.

If only to-day were tomorrow, And yesterday followed to-day, My sadness would sink into sorrow, My vanity vanish away; My spirit would cease from Its roaming, Nor futter away like a bird In the shadowy shade of the gloaming, The magical moan of word. Alas! with the light of the morning Tomorrow has flown to its rest, With feversh petulance scorning The hallowed delights of the biest- I yearn, with a cynical mocking. To grapple with infinite calm, Mid aeons of silence unlocking The tones of jubilant psalm. If only the world were a vision. If only tht moon were myth, If only the star of derision Would turn from Its kin to Its kith- If only to-day were tomorrow, And yesterday followed to-day, My soul would eternity borrow, And solemnly vanish awayi

The hat was a soft felt one and had the appear ance of belonging to some fellow of means who, in his gratitude at Its recov- cry would not let a matter of a little money stand in the way of his duly eX- pressing his sense of obligation to the in- dividual who should recover 1t for him. Consequently, the jehu at once left his place of vantage and started on a wild chase after the precious bit of headgear. The pursuit led him several times across the street and around two or three cor ners and nearly. involved him in trouble with several strangers of testy tempera- ments who, in his headlong course he bumped into and nearly sent off their feet. Finally, after considerable trouble, he succeeded in catching it, and, wheezing and pantng from the unusual exertion, he turned around to present 1t to its own er whose heavy breathing he had heard just behind him, as he followed on his chase But as soon as he strengthened up and looked into, not the face of the swell he had expected to see, but into the face of a very ordinary-looking Chinaman. who, with outstretched hands stood wait ing for his headgear, the happy smile of triumph gave place to scowl of disgust. and, his Celtic blood getting the best of
