LONDON, Oct. 2o.-Interest is CEN
tered in the Marquis of Salisbury's ad-
dition to the Fashoda correspondence
contained in the publication of the
British blue book. The Conservative
newspapers declare it dispels the idea
spread by the French ambassador.
Baron de Courcel, that the premier IS
willing to negotiate the whole ques-
ton; but the Liberal and Radical organs
still consider that the Marquis Of Sails
bury's attitude admits of negotiations
promising a friendly arrangement.
The entire press, however, scouts the
idea of the possession of Fashoda com
ing within the sphere of such discus
sion.
GUNBoATs MOVING.
The Globe points out the significant
announcement in General Kitchner's
report that he has sent gunboats south
from Sebat towards Meshra-er- Rex,
the principal trading center of the
Bahr-el-Ghazel region, with instruc-
tions to establish the necessary ouiposts
and complete arrangements for the
maintenance of these stations.
CLAIMS A CINCH.
"These movements the Globe adds
"brings our position down to the eighth
parallel north latitude, and the valley
of Bahr-el-G -Ghazel at this moment is
under the rule of the khedive. 1t
would be interesting to see the effect of
this revelation upon the French gov
ernment.'
An order has been received at Ports
mouth to prepare all ships of the fleet

Although not connected with the war
preparations, much attention has been
attracted to the request received by
the Clyde shipbuilders from the Brit
ish admiralty for tenders for four new
flrst-class battleships, one hrst-class
cruiser and twelve torpedo boat destroy
srs. The increased armament, it is be-
lieved, will make there battlt ships when
ready for service the most powerful

have a speed of nineteen knots.

TALKING TOO MUCH.

= OR talking too much the parrot was denuded
OF its feathers, a San Francisco Chinese was
shot by tired auditor and now Chaplain Nc
Intyre OF the Oregon has been sentenced to loss OF
his position Ultimately the human mind may begin
grasp the value OF silence, for surely the human
mind is acute that OF parrot and the bird caught
quickly enough
The sentence passed upon the chaplain will be re
garded by the public as severe 1t is plain why he
should have been singled out for condign rebuke
when so many others have kept their jaws double
time ever since the opening shot at Santiago. The
Rev. Mr., McIntyres mistake was not in telling
untruth but in telling the truth and expressing it in
terms OF faness not calculated to soothe the savage
breast OF glory-hungry warriors of the sea.
AS one who had been board the Oregon during
the batteships wonderful journey and while its guns
were laundering the Spanish fleet, Chaplain Nc
Intyre naturally thought the Oregon was doing it all
Thinking so did no harm The expression of opinion
wrought only sentimental damage Every citizen has
a clear right consider his wife the best in the
world and it would be queer sort OF a neighbor who
would regard this opinion in any degree a refec-
ton upon the wife OF any other
Commanders who do not dodge when ten-inch
shells are sailing carelessy in their direction ought
to be able to stand against scattering fire OF YER
biage There supposition that this country is pos
sessed OF the precious boon Of freedom Of speech.
Mr.. Mcintyre will be excused if he is inclined to
doubt it.

a DESERVED DENOMINATION.

II R w. J. HAWKINS has we'll merited from the
Republican party the compliment OF re-
- nomination for the office of Coroner, and has
equal claim upon the county at large for the
honor of reelection His administration of the Office
has been not only faithful and honest but thoroughly
efficient and it would be act OF political folly for
the voters to reject a of approved worth when
an opportunity is afforded OF continuing him in the
public service
The record of DR.. Hawkins management Of the
Coroners office is made the brighter by with
that of the management in times past. Under his
administration there have been no scandals either d-
rectly or indirectly associated with the office in any
branch OF its work. Every duty imposed upon him
has been fulfilled with unsulled integrity and
spicuous success He has been called upon to deal
with upward of seventy-fve a month, and
among those which before him during his pres
ent term were several of extraordinary nature such
those Of the Durrant murders, and yet in single
instance has he failed in any particular to accomplish
all that the law and the public welfare required OF his
office
A success so complete in itself and notable by
contrast with the inefficency or worse OF former
Coroners is a clear evidence that DR.. Hawkins has
not only an honest fidelity in his work but special
aptitude for its duties. This aptitude has been in
creased by the studies and the experience OF his pro-
fesson. A graduate of the medical department of the
University of California his learning and his skill
as a physician have been of great service in the
Coroners office, and have enabled him to satisac-
torily solve many problems that would have been
hopeessy bungled by less competent man.
Dr. Hawkins is of those Native Sons who have
taken keen and public spirited interest in civic af-
fairs He has not neglected the general good in his
devotion to his private fortunes His rank in his pro-
fession is attested by the fact that although still
hoe +la
position OF lecturer physiology in the medical de-
partnent of the university He is therefore, of
those men whom independent citizens DESTROYS of
capable administration in all branches of local
government should take delight in supporting His
past four years of office have proven his worth and
his reelection should be made by majority so large
as to show that the people of San Francisco appre-
ciate the services of who, like him, have honesty
brains, energy and civic patriotism.

TAKING AN ARTISTIC TUMBLE
tanning spectacle

T is not easy to understand why actress should
| be required to tumble downstairs She is human
and therefore subject to bruises She has bones
liable to breakage and she has flesh the bones,
else would she not be in the business OF humping
adown rckety set of stage stairs.
Perhaps there is value in knowing how to
fall if fall must and to alight the spots least
susceptible to discooration and jar might be reck-
oned fine art. However, the who would let go
all holds and yield himself to the law of gravitaon
lust to show how unscathed he could escape would be
considered foolish. 1t is we'll to know antidote
for poison, but not to swallow the poison as to
demonstrate the efficacy of the antidote.
Comparatively few people fall downstairs. There
is decided preference for getting down other
way The landing is satisfactory if not too pre-
ciptate Provided one is thoughtful enough to keep
sober and to avoid being kicked at the top of the
fight there is little danger and small need of prac
tee: However, there suggestions brought up by
consideration of the matter. Let be intro
duced showing graceful and safe method of leaving
car and touching the street first Let the pub
lie have object lesson in the glide resultant from
stepping upon banana peel, the essential gyrations
following collision with the deadly wheelbarrow, the
proper angle to after having been met by
bicycle All these things would be picturesque prac-
teal and instructive. Nobody wants to know how to
tumble downstairs but rather how to avoid doing So
But the other experiences mentioned parts of life
as we have to live it.

TOO MUCH HOME RULE.

CONSTITUTIONAL amendment No. 2 (hnowa
| to the statutes Senate amendment No Io)
which proposes to authorize the people OF
counties in this State, through Boards OF Freehold
ers, to frame charters for their own government Is
Objectionable other grounds than that it provides
an entering wedge for Maguire's single tax. The
amendment is based upon the home rule prln-
cple-which if not carried too far is good thing
but besides throwing the farmers OF the interior into
the hands OF owners of personal property who might
desire at some future day to deprive them OF their
lands, it opens the door to system of laws which
would if enacted prove ridiculous.
In short, the amendment gives the counties more
home rule than they reasonably ask, and GER
tainly more than principle they should possess,
For instance, it is proposed confer upon Boards OF
Freeholders which may be chosen to frame county
government charters the right ito prescribe the
ner and method by which all elections by the people
shall be conducted and may, in addition, determine
the tests and conditions upon which electors, po-
ltical parties and organizations may participate in
any primary election"
Since the amendment provides that the charters so
framed shall not be subject to general laws upon the
same Subjects the clause quoted would authorize the
County Boards of Freeholders as to their particular
counties to repeal the Australian ballot law any
general primary act which might be passed by the
ton any such grant of power this with safety.
Ballot laws and primary laws ought to be general.
1t would be absurd have ty-seyen different ballot
and primary systems in California, yet Senate
amendment No. 10 throws the door open to such a
condition. If particular Courthouse ring of par
cuar county should desire to return to the straight
ticket system, all it would need to do would be to
capture County Board of Freeholders and get the
matter before the people, The latter might not be
persuaded to adopt the change, but amid a multi
plicy of issues there is always danger OF losing sight
OF important and the grant of power might lead
in many turning back the hands of progress
The Australian ballot system is now we'll rooted
and it should be permitted to bear its full fruit
Whatever good there is in it only be got out OF it
by enforcing and developing the system which it has
established
Home rule for the counties is an excellent thing
but in our judgment the trainers of Senate amend
ment Nc. 10 have given them too much of it. The
counties do not for their own good government re-
qure authority to control the manner of voting
within their limits at general and primary elections
Neither will it subserve their interests to be allowed
TO adopt taxation systems. Legislation both these
subjects may safely be left to the State which in pass
ing general and uniform laws may best maintain the
interests of all classes. Amendment No. (Senate
No 10Y should be buried out OF sight along with Ma
grtire.
