San Francisco's Struggle for Good Govern
ment.

Much advance is being made in better
forms of municipal government in the va
rous cities of the United States: but
there are still grievous problems to be
solved. 1t is not merely IA question of
municipal corruption. although this OBJ
| tains in many places; it is question of
better charters, better laws. and better
opportunities for good government. The
friends of good gOvernment-and these
include nearly all business men engaged
in legitimate pursuits-need to maintain
mination, to institute good laws and to
insist upon their execution.
San Francisco has for many years been
struggling for good government. owing to
an obsolete and inefficient charter in the
form of a consolidation act of the city
and county of San Francisco approved
April 10. 1850. with several amendments.
For forty-two years the various changes
| in this act introduced by successive legis-
latures made it very difficult. and some
| times impossible. to decide the meaning
times board of free holders has been
elected by the people of San Francisco. to
form Il new charter. and each of the
charters thus framed has been rejected
| by the people. The first in 1870. cost the
| city. in expenses of freeholders and cleo
| ton. over So. 0U0: the vote being: For the
charter 4.l44: against. $l9.lB I'm 1883 the
second charter was rejected by vote of
asSS to 1885. at an expense of over s2l 900.
! In 1887 the vote on the third charte.
stood: 10,S69 for. and l4.W9 against. the
expense to the city DelnS more IMAM Al.,-
| 900 The charter proposed by the free
holders in 1896 was rejected by vote OF
| Il 500 to 1881, with the attendant eN-
IpenSeS.
| During all these years constant agita--
| ton for better government was carried
| on by the various reform clubs. by pri-
vate citizens. and by newspapers. There
are at least twenty-five improvement as
sociati in active operation, the most
important of which is the Merchants AS

ness men of the city. The formation or
the Merchants Association was AN epoch

Eyes, sir" exclaimed the man with a
hnen buster and high-crowned straw hat,
81 m going to do it"
What are you going to dos" asked the
policeman to whom the stranger had ad-
dressed himself.
''You know" he went on, without heed
ing the question, that the summer months
are invariably marked by increased out
breaks of all kinds. Mems angry passions
seem to rise with the thermometer"
What were you threatening just now!'
asked the policeman, sternly.
Threatening"
Eyes You said you were going to do
something: What are you going to do:"
m going to get rich. I'm going to get
some steady employment and save up my
money and invest it judiciously and get
uch. There's no end of good you can do
with riches. Rich men are doing a great
deal of good now. They establish schools
and colleges and libraries and let the people
get acquainted with the soothing thoughts
of philosophy and the sublimities of science.
But in the months of July and August you,
as practical criminologist, have doubtless
observed philosophy and science don't work.
By the time | have got rich there will be
all the colleges and libraries that there will
be need of, and l will cap the summit OF
our civilization with a bequest for a mann

that when anybody feels his Indignation

THAT is to my mind,' said the cap

should be. In truth, there is little
time for any other"
why, that looks feasible" said 1.
''But now bit further. Say you have
her out. what then? Whittier would
you fly? 1t may not be possible to pro-
cure horses, and afoot would be too
slow. Again, some suspicious gang
might challenge u.s."
well, then" said the captain. why
seek to go by land? Why not by wa
ter?"
"By water?' said I, in some sur
prise. "Is not that still more hazard
Gus? Besides, where can we come by
suitable boat?"
That" said Sellinger. would be no
feat. Betwixt now and shutdown 1 war

well, perhaps to Delasco, which is
a place but a few leagues to the
south, or to Buenaventura, which may
be two hundred" answered the cap
tain. Il suppose these or any other
would serve"
We went into the matter little
further. but in the end came to the
captains plan.
Then do you go now" he asked,
land try to find out the location Of
the senorita's room, and likewise fetch
what you can of stores and water.
Doubtless you can obtain enough for

Burns Won the Dinner.

This story is told of Robert Burns in
his youth: One day he was passing
through the town of Ayr when he saw
two strangers sitting at one of the inn
windows. With idle curiosity, he
stopped to look at them. Seeing him
and thinking that the rustic might af-
ford some amusement while waiting.
the strangers called him in and
