THE MAYOR AND HIS POWERS.

THE efforts of some of the supporters of the
 proposed new charter to conceal the true char
 acter of the powers which have been conferred by that instrument upon the Mayor in the nature Of an electoral confidence game. The leading fea lures of the charter centrazaton and individual responsibility If the principles underlying these good things why should anybody attempt to hide them from the public meet arguments against them with pleas in avoidance denial!
 One organ which IS engaged in grinding out charter daily has stated in terms that the Mayor created by the charter will not be Lord Mayor meaning by this that he will under the instru- ment exercise powers Of an extraordinary character
 For the purpose of countervaling article in this journal in which the functions of the Mayor were clearly defined this organ submits an extended state ment of the powers which the charter makers have conferred upon the people It illustrates the self sacrificing magnaninity of the Freehoders with the allegation that they have authorized the people to elect eighteen Supervisors an Auditor Treasurer As sessor, Tax Collector, Coroner, Recorder City At torney District Attorney, Public Administrator County Clerk, Sheriff, twelve Superior Judges five Justices of the Peace and four Police Judges
 The publication of this IS accompanied by the as- serton that when it is alleged that the proposed char ter has created Mayor with unprecedented powers supremely ridiculous statement is made Yet the fact remains that all the patronage controlled by the off, clalS whose creation has thus been generously con- terred upon the people will not aggregate quarter that which the Mayor will directly and indirectly con- rol With the patronage of the Board of Public Works alone the Mayor under the proposedne charter could undoubtedly, so disposed dictate terms to the en- tire elective portion Of the government. Should San Francisco enter upon system of street and sewer improvements during the next ten years would ex- pend from S25,oooooo to $3ooooooo in new work Every dollar of this money would literally pass through the hands of the Mayor
 Mayor of this character, as we have previously remarked, may be good thing Possibly this town has reached stage when necessary that 1t should have some such potentate to manage its affairs But what good IS going to be accomplished by concealing the nature o the monarch about to create? Is t honest for the Freeholders to smuggle this sort of a Mayor into the City Hall without letting us know what sort of kinglet he really is? If centrazaton and individual responsibility correct in principle a fight ought to be made upon them openly and above board. That is the honest way to conduct the charter campaign

A NATIONAL LABEL LAW.

u DDRESSES made on the opening day of the / \ State Fru1t-growers Association at Riverside clearly reveal the interest taken by our fruit men in the movement toward procuring such legis- lation as may be required to protect them from the
 injurious competition of the makers of adulterated fruit foods The issue is in fact one that concerns the general public well as the fruit men, and it will remain subject of incessant agitation until it has been settled for all time by being settled right
 The enactment of local regulations or State laws against the manufacture sale of impure foods is not sufficient remedy for the evil and cannot be- no matter how drastic sweeping such laws may be made. The contest involves something more than the suppression of deliberations that are proved to be harmful and perhaps poisonous A large number of the manufactured articles put on the market as fruit preserves or olive oils harmless enough in their nature, but the less fraud on the public and wrong to the producers of genuine preserves and true olive oil, because they made of cheap stuff and are not what they pretend to be-
 Mr. Wardell is reported to have urged upon the fruit growers the importance of national law on the subject and to have advocated such legislation as should require every article offered for sale to be labeled according to its true character There would be no injustice to any in such law If the "so- phisticated foods" they called by those who deny that they deliberations" are harmless the manufacturers of them certainly have no obiec- ton to selling them under their rghtful names A man who is willing to consume a preserve made of apple-cores and glucose favored with orange should be permitted to do so but he ought not to be made to pay for it under the impression that he IS getting genuine orange marmalade.
 Our Government requires that all imported goods shall be plainly marked Made in Germany or France or England, as the may be, and simi- lar marking should be required as to what they are made of, whether manufactured at home or abroad Cotton-seed oil should be sold as the product of cotton-seed and not the product of an olive Apple jam and glucose should be sold as the product of corn fields and apple and not as the product of Californian orange groves It is time to put an end to this commercial masquerading Honest label ing will injure no honest article.

4 DUTY TOWARDS THE GUARD.

HERE seems every likelihood that the Ma
 tional Guard of California will be called to ac-
 tive service. That they will respond enthu- slastlcally there be doubt It is unfair that they should be asked to do this at great personal loss and the hardship of losing positions in which they earn their daily bread They merit the practical good will of every citizen.
 The men of the National Guard of California are not dlers. They come from the shop from the desk. the counting-room and the counter. They toll in mills and factories; every honest vocation is repre- sented in their ranks. They always ready to re- spond to the summons of the State or nation. They would to the front gladly and gallantly as now they will undertake the work from which the regular soldiers have been ordered.
 In the East some large employers-for in- stance, Wells, Fargo & Co.-have informed their employees that any needed in the contest with Spain may consider themselves at liberty to go that their pay will be continued least in part and that upon return their old positions will be awaiting them This IS generous, but 1t IS than right It is nothing but seemly expression of patriotism.
 Members of the California National Guard should be assured that by performing the service now made necessary by the exigency of impending war shall be deprived Of the means of livelihood when the emergency shall have passed. The employer who by threat o discharge seeks deter the State mitamen from upholding the honor of the land will fall far short not only Of the pattern by others but of the performance of plain and simple duty of citizenship

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

THE NAVEL ORANGE-B. E., City. It is said that what is known as the Wash ington navel orange was discovered in Bahia, Brazil, whence it was carried to Australia, but 1t did no succeed there. The Botanical Department of Washing ton, D. C., sent for slips, forwarded them to Southern California, and when in due were named "Washington Navel in com pliment to the department at the capital of the nation.
 THE SALVATION ARMY-J. T., City. Generally speaking the Salvation Army does not distribute it's War Cry free, but once a year all copies of the paper that are a year old are gathered and distributed without cost. The Army does not take in at its stations any individual of the Army is that the individual must work in the wood yard or do some work as an equivalent for what is furnished. The Army has a dispenSary attached to Its station known as the institute.
 COLORED MEN-G. L. K. Potrero, City. Pinkney B. s. Pinchbaok of African descent was a member of the Louisiana Senate in 1868. He was Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Louisiana, ard was Governor of that State during the impeachment of the United States Senate in 1873, but was not allowed his seat. Blanch K. Bruce, another colored man, represented Missis- | sippi in the United States Senate from 1875 to 1SS1 R. B. Elliott, also colored man, represented South Carolina in the United States Congress in the Forty-sec- ond and Forty-third congresses.
 NATIvTTY-J. T., City. A man is a na- tive of the country in which he was born. There is a difference between nativity and citizenship. If @ man and his wife, na- tives of the United States, travel through China for sight seeing and while in the Chinese Empire son is born to them that son is a Chinaman, but he is an American citizen, or. more properly, a citizen of the United States, man born in Ireland is an Irishman but he is a British subject, unless born to parents travelling through the country or born to parents the father being in the diplomatic service of a foreign nation. In that case the child is Irish, but a citizen of the country the father represents.

His dreamy melodies are played on all the boudoir pianos and sung in all the drawing rooms of Paris, and now he has made his debut as an operatic composer at the Opera Comique with three-act opera, based on Lofts marriage, which has been generally pronounced "sweetly poetical." Raynaldo Hahn is fortunate man.
 A competition has been opened to all composers of Italian nationality for the composition of mass in the severe style. It is to be written for four voices with organ accompaniment and is to follow the rules laid down for masses on July 4, 1894. A prize of 1000 francs will be given to the successful competitor and medals and diplomas of merit will be presented if a pumber of good masses are present.

At last the matinee girl and the woman nero -worshiper of New York have found an American to burn incense befc in- stead or seeking out hirsute foreigners Tor the objects of their adoration. David Bispham, home product, is the latest cult, and to all appearances he is fully nlling the aching void left vacant by paderewski, Jean de Reszke and Max AL vary. A correspondent who attended one oI ms recent concerts says: '1 have heard about the Bispham cult, seen articles in the 1ocose columns of certain frivolous journals relating to it, but never real ized the full extent of the mania until attended concert the other afternoon at the Astoria. where the American bary- tone sang. had a seat that day near the stage-one poor, forlorn man almost buried in a sea of satins and laces and suffocated with a hundred subtle odors.

ed. The successful work will be exc cuted publicly in Turin.
 Many years ago Mime. Bordas was a favorite at cafe concerts in Paris, on ac- count of the spirited way in which she sang the popular songs of the period. This lady, who has not been heard of for twenty years, has written from Al giers to L'Echo de Paris, saying that her voice still retains all it's pristine beauty and that she intends to visit Paris in 1900 and show the world what French popular songs were at the period when she was in her zenith.
 According to all accounts a second Mozart has come to light at Bergamo, in Italy. The new aspirant for musical honors is an infant phenomenon in his eleventh year, who has already mastered the science of music. The precocious child is completing the orchestration of an opera in one act entitled "Carmela," the libretto of which was written by Signor Parmenio BettoH.
 The score of Massenet's Cinderella" was played over the other day at the Opera Comique to Albert Carre, in pres ence of the librettist, Henri Cain, and of number of French musicians of note It was pronounced to be an exquisite score and was eagerly accepted for pro- duction at the Opera Comique
 A new operetta has been given at the Alfierf Theater, Turin, entitled Rafael and the Fornarina.'' The work fell fiat on account of an impossible libretto; possibly the Italians objected to seeing their great painter and his favorite model made the subject of a comic opera.
 Signora Anna Stolzmann, a prima don ma, was ambitious enough some months ago to become manager on her own ac- count of the San Carlo Theater, Naples, the biggest opera house in the world with the one exception of La Scala, Milan. The lady has just gone into bankruptcy, her chief creditors being the members of the chorus and the orchestra.
 A grand concert was given in Saint Petersburg lately by the Imperial Society of Music. All the proceeds of this con- cert are to be devoted to founding a con- servatory of music at Wechwotynez, the place where Anton Rubinstein was born. The new conservatory will bear the name of the celebrated musician.
 A solemn musical function has been given at Saint Peters, at Rome, to cele- brate the jubilee of the maestro Mustafa, who for fifty years has been the musical director of the Sistine Chapel. A num- Der of musical celebrities were present on the occasion.

OREGON REPUBLICANS.

|LEAR torclble and patriotic is the voice of the | Republicans of Oregon the issues of the
 day. The platform adopted by the State con- vention at Astoria IS terse, vigorous and as em- phatic declaration of the principles of the party and its policies at this issue could be desired by even the most aggressive and stawart Republican of any part of the country.
 The two issues of supreme importance are the money question and the Spanish crisis, and on both of these the uterances of the platform are notably strong. They will be read all over the Union as evil dences of the sentiment of the Republicans of the Pa cihc Coast and will carry everywhere the assurance that there IS to be in the West no further compromis ing with the silver men, any antagonism to the policy of the President in dealing with the Spaniards whether the issue be peace or war
 The declaration in favor of the gold standard is ac eompanied by the announcement We believe the best money in the world is none too good to be assured by the Government to the laborer as the fruit of his toll or the farmer the price of his crop" To this is added condemnation of the continued agitation for free silver calculated eopardze the prosper
 y Of the country and there IS particular condemna tion of the unpariotc efforts of the free silver ap taors array class against class and section against section.
 On the issue there is full and patriotic decar- aton of confidence in the administration This is the keynote of Republican sentiment everywhere on this issue In crisis of this kind there ought to be the fullest harmony among all citizens. An opposition to the administration effort to destroy conf dence n the President is at this juncture almost treason to the nation. The Republicans of Oregon have done well to speak in uncertain tones on the issue and can with reason rely upon the people to sustain them at the polls
