© The Pinafore Chestnut Revived on the Coast. THOUSANDs ARE ATTRACTED. A Chinese Hospital to Be Built in De- flance of Law—Cable Conpa- nies—Young Pugilists in the Ring. Cousins and Their Aunts, SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.—Since my last letter to THE BEE, but little of par ticular interest has transpired. This season of the y a busy one in San Francis execur- slonists going east in car-load lols per- haps is the most interesting topic. Few excursionists are coming in, but thou- sands are departing. The newest fad in *Prisco is what has long since been A CHESTNUT EAST. It is the introduction of “Pinafore” at the Mechanics’ Pavillion, Thousands of people attend, and are delighted. It may seem strange to your readers to know that “‘Pinafore” is new—but it is— “brand new.” The Chronicle thus speaks of the play: ‘*‘‘{The lass that loved a sailor’ bowed last night for the socond time from her majesty’s ship Pinafore, which floats so sedately at the west, end of the Mechanics’ Pavillion. It was another lass, though, than the one who sang so admirably and bowed 80 l)rott\ly on Monday night. But the “ sailor was thesame, The same old Jack tar; and like the typical foremast hand, his affections seemed to centre in the pretty girl before him, and he had evi- dently entirely forgotten her who only twenty-four hours before he had sworn tolove. The second night's perform- ance of the opera was enjoyed by about 4,000 people, who applauded everyone and everything that was good, from the “peal” tars out on the yards to the mid- shipmite who stole the admiral’s chapeau and loft his own cap to cover Sir gosonh’n white hair.” It may be pro{)cr for me to remark here, that “‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin” would not be a novelty. : A CINNESE HOSPITAL has been for some time a topic of inter- est among those living at University Mound. The fear is that a Chinese hos- pital would render the loculity where it was situated undesirable and unhealthy. Although the board of supervisors sed an order restraining its build- ng, Consul Bee declares it shall be built. In an interview he said, reply- ing to the question concerning the pro- posed prohibitory ordinance: “Well, what of it? What of the laun- dry ordinance? . What of the queue- cutting ordinance? What of the iron- door ordinance, and what of the hun- dred other ordinances which have been passed in this city by (the supervisors anc by the California legislature? The federal court simply knocked the bot- tom clean out of them all, and so it will out of this. The ple have year in and year out complained that we do not take care of our sick and dying, but throw them out on the street to die. Now, when we propose to build a hospi- tal for them the same as all other na- tionalities, there is an objection raised, snd the sul)arvisors to please their own peovle rush in and pass an ordinance prohibiting the evection of any hospital within the city and county, except those who desire to erect it{obtainpermission from the board of supervisors, to do so. How about the French hospital, the Siters of Mercy hospital, the German, the Italian and last, but not least, the city and county hospital? Now what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. 1f it be illegal to maintain a Chinese hospital in tfie city and county it is most cer- tainly illegal to maintain any other hospital. The Chinese are refused ad- mission into the city and county hos- pital. They will notbe taken inany of the privute hospitals nor will the au- thorities permit them to build a hos- pital for themselves. All I desire to say just now is that the hospital will be built just where we said it would,uniess the ‘supreme court in Washington should decide otherwise.” The CABLE CAR CROSSING question 18 still being agitated and will result in a great deal of ill-feeling. At the meeting of the street commit- tee on Thursday last, Superintendent Lynch of the Powell street line opposed a substitute ordinance proposed by At- torney Hale of the Market street road, giving to the older lines the superior or prior right to the crossings. su{)erin- tendent Lynch objected to the plan on the ground that a prior right-of-way franchise did not affect in the least the rivileges of opposing rouds, even if the ate of their franchise were subsequent to that of the other. It was charged that the employes of the cable roads had taken up their'employers’ fight and in warious ways attempted to do each other injury, particularly where the roads intersected. The right-of-way to the crossings was disputed by the grip- men of both lines, and in one or two ecases accidents have been the result of this ill-feeling. In order to definitely settle the rights of the roads at the crossings, Superintend- ent Lynch is now attempting, with the aid of Supervisor Burns, to frame an ordinance fully covering that point, which is designed not only to avoid dis- astrous accidents, but to save lives and l?luum peace among the employes. In the PUGILISTIC LINE pince McAuliffe’s fray, a thousand full- fledged knockers have doveloped. $here will be during the summer sea- son a dozen mills between local “‘big funs”—but it is predicted that but littie M™04 will bo spilled. T0 BE RENOVED, The free public library, the pride of all Friscans, will be removed during the !ll‘uwllt month from the old room on Bush streetto the new quarters at the new city hall, It is feared that the lqcommmlm.iuus will be more cramped than they are now, as the new room is not as large as the old. It is hoped, however, that some adjoining room may Pe secured. All the shelving now in use will ba removed. The task of mov- ing the 70,000 volumes will probably re- quire two weeks, and all books will be galled in before it is commenced. i The Farmers and the Tariff. CRETE, May 26, 1888.—To the Editor of Tk Beg: Since the meeting of the republican state convention interest in politics in this town and surrounding country by the adherents of that party hus increased to a high pitch, The young men, especinlly those who are about to become voters, manifest an in- terest on all occasions regarding the principles, past rocord, and future course of the party that bodes no geod 10 the democracy. It is surprising to hear them take up the tariff and discuss it with their dem- oeratic friends. They have great con- fidence in the success of the party this ~fall, and their confidence infuses new life into the older heads, and makes them feol that the young element that is now coming to thie front will well and ably support the party that for twenty- five years has brought the country to its present prosperous and happy con- dition. In my ramblings through the oounty I have met and talked with a great many farmers, democrats as well as republicans, and find a feeling of discontent and uneasiness concern- ing the tariff. I have not found one single farmer with whom I have talked that does not entertain a foeling of fear that in the event of a radical change in the tariff something evil or detrimental to their interests will occur. The re- publicans on the other side stand by their party, and its principles because they ve they are for the best in- terests of himself and his country, but the democratic farmer has a fear of turning over the old system under which they have become prosperous and self- supporting for the proposed new order of things by their party the result of which no one ean foretell. Andif I can judge correctly from the sentiments I have heard expressed, this county will give such an overwhelming majority for he republican nominees that it will almost take the breath out of them. To illustrate what [ mean: 1 met an old- time democrat the other day, a_gentle- man who has resided in this state for seventeen years, an uncompromising democrat, but a man of unquestioned honesty and _integrity, and whose word is as good as his bond, and whose democratic proclivities are of such a nature that no man has ever been bold enough to brouch the subject of repub- licanism to him. Who told me when speaking of the tariff that he was very much in doubt as to whether he would vote the presidential ticket this fall or not. Having been quite intimate with him since I have resided in Nebraska and knowing of him when he lived in Pennsylvania, and knowing his politics protty thoroughly, T was somewhat sur- prised to hear him express himself in that manner, and T asked him what had come over the spirit of his demacratic dream to cause him to doubt the wisdom of his party, he replied that he had been farming and stock raising for a great many years,that he had been suc- cessful to a marked degree, but since the agitation of the tariff he had begun to think the matter over, and had read a great about it and the inference he drew from the facts he learned was: That ke could not figure out how a reduction of the tariff could possibly benefit the farmers. ““Take,” he con- tinued, ‘“‘the hundreds and thousands of men who are now engaged in the manu- facture of iron in all its branches, take the woolen mills and its thousands of employes, men and women; take the hundreds and thousands of sturdy men who are cngaged in digging the ore from the hills and mountains, tho same as you and I have seen in Pennsylvania. What will be the result to them ii the duties are taken off of such things as they are now making a living at? The only result that I can see is, that toa great extent these mills and furnaces and shops will be obliged to close or the wages of the men will be reduced to such an extent that they will be on the verge of starvation and if that is so, and as Isee it I would like to know what is to become of the farmer and his grain and stock? Who is goihg to buy my grain if men haven’t money enough to buy bread? Who is going to buy my cattle if the workingmen can’t earn money enough to pay his rent or buy coal, what will become of us if one-half of the mills and fac- tories shut down, throwing thousands of human beings out of work? T may per- haps be a little selfish in this matter, but you know that every man does, or ought to, look out for himself first, and for the life of me I can’t see how any poor man in this country can live 1f this scheme is carried out. No doubta great many. of the eastern importers will be greatly benefitted by free trade, because importing things cheap and selling them at a high figure is their business, and, of course, they will cry free trade upon all oceasions; but they don’t care a cent what becomes of any- one else so long #s they can fill their own pockets and carry the money thus obtaimed to Europe, and there spend it. But if this scheme is successful, T don’t see how I can plant my crops, cultivate them, feed my cattle through the win- tor, and especially such a winter as we have just passed through, and get enough money out of them to pay my expenses. Four miles west of the Blue I have 400 acres of land. Heretofore] have had the most of it in grain, re- serving only enough for my stock, and have done well. But since this infer- nal tinkering of the tariff by a lot of backwoods lawyers, who don’t” know as much about farming and farmer’s inter- ests as a cat does about astronomy, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to wait and see what will be the outcome of all this talk before 1 invest any more money in crop, cattle or any- thing else, not knowing where I am coming ont. They can all talk about the farmer not understanding his own business or interests, but I tell you when it comes to a farmer working a whole year for nothing and paying his own expenses out of it, they will find that we are just looking out where our dollars "go to, and you can just make up your mind that we ave go- ing to think twice this fail before we cast our ballots. Suppose they can im- port goods cheaper than they ean he made in this coun what benefit is that to me or any other poor man if we are out of work and have no money to purchuse them with., It is like asking a hungry man fo eat when there is no bread.” This is a sample of what I have heard expressed n great many times during the past two weeks by farmers and others, Of course the dyed-in-the- democratic-wool democrats take a dif- ferent view and believe that somehow or other their party will bring them through all right, no matter bow the ps are, whether high or low; but the liberal, far-seeing farmers of all politi- cal shades will be very careful how they vote. P.T. E. ——————— A Remarkable Colt. Walpole, Ill., possesses a remarkable freak of nature in the shape of a colu that was foaled here recently. Itis perfect in every way save for the fact that it has no forelegs, and the place where they should be is as smooth and even as any portion of its breast, and there is nothing to indicate that these much-needed members will ever grow. The colt’s hind-legs are strong, and perfect in every way. It is remarkably healthy, and there is every reason to believe that it will live. Its appetite for milk is exceedingly good.

STATUE OF ROBERT DALE OWEN. News for Those Interested in Mission- ary Work in Heathen Lands— Carlisle's Ailments—Cons sular Matters, A Poor Pablic Servant, Wasmiverox, May 24.—[Speoial to T Bee,]--1f Public Printor Benedict is not brought before congress in impeachment pro- ceedings he will stand condemned as & pub- lic servant before those who have watched the investigation which has been in progress for two or three months by the house com- mittee on printiog. Mr. Benedict went into office with a great blare of trumpets. He proclaimed that the administration of his predecessor, Mr. Rounds, was incompetent and corrupt, and insinuated that the men un- der him were not proper persons to remain in the employ of the government, and they were put out. As soon as this congress convened he began to blow about his economy and his superiority. His own howis attracted so much attention that it created suspicion. Al- ready the investigation hus shown that Mr. Benedict §s - imcompatent. Men connected with the iquiry say more will be proven. 1t was shown last week by the testimony of the most ‘reputable- men in Philadelphia, that Benedict accepted paper that fell from eight to twelve pounds below the government standard, which is from twenty to forty per cent lower than was offered by other con- tractors, and that the price paid was from ten to twenty per cent more than the proper grade could have been bought for. It was shown that the superintendent of the paper warehouse and Benedict's brother, who are members of the bourd of paper inspection, went to Philadelphia and dined and wined with the paper contractor at the latter's ox- pense, and that Woodbridge, chief clerk of the stationary division of the postofice de- partment was with them, and that his ex- penses wore also paid by the paper con- rd If Mr. Benedict escapes from this ation with any reputation he will be excoedingly fortunate. An ctfort isto be made to secure unani- mous consent of the house for the considera- tion of Mr. Hovey’s joint resolution, which has been favorably roported from the com- mittee on library, appropriating $15,000 for the purpose of erecting, on the grounds or in the building of the Smithsonian institute, this city: statue of the late Robert Dale Owen. ‘Mr. Owen was several times a mem- ber of the Indiana legislature, was one of the constitutional convention that framed the constitution of that state, and was a member of the Twenty-ninth congress. Subsequently he was minister to Naples, Italy. There is an interesting story in connection with the claim set up for showing v & statue should be erected in memory of this man. James Smithson. a son of the duke of Northumber- land, England. on the 26th of October, 1526, by Nis last will and testament, bequeathed to the “*United States of America his prop- erty to found at Washington city, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an es- tablishment for the increase and diffusion of lnowledge among men.” When the bequest was received by the United States, June, t amounted to a little over $500,000, and was ‘accepted as a trust under an act of con- gress. For many years this large sum was in the vauits of the United States or under its control, and several unsuccessful efforts were mado in congress to pass bills to carry the trust into execution. In the Twent, ninth cougress, December 19, 1845, Rob Dale Owen introduced ‘“‘a bill to establish the Smithsonian institution for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men,” which, after a long debate and bitter opposi- tion,s was to some extent remodeled by a substitute, and became a law April 20, 1846, The vote in the house on its final passage stood 85 ayes to 76 n Mr. Owen was re- garded as the champion of the measure, and was appointed chairman of the board of re- gents July, 1846. From the date of his ap- pointment to the completion of the Smith- sonian building he devoted all his time and energy to the organization and completion of the work. Few men could country whose thies would hat carry out the munificent bequest of Mr. Smithson. Mr. Owen was a ripe scholar, had traveled much and was familiar with the best institutions of Europe. He was fond of architecture and was one of the most active members of the board of regents in forming the plan for the building. During this per- jod and growing out of his labors, he pub- lished his work on architecture. United States Consul Strau Constantinople, Turkey, has written a letter to the state department whic will be read with interest by all who care for the Ameri- can missionary work in heathen countrie: In the course of his r I have receatly visited Caire salem, Beirut, Mcrsine and Smyrna, and conferred with our consuls in the several districts also with the governors and gover- nors-gencral of the respective vilayets in the empire. 1 desire to acknowledge the univer- sal courtesy I met with on the part of these officials and to express my satisfaction as to the very pleasant relation_existing between them and our consuls., While at Cairo his highne: the khedive, showed me every possible 1 had so arranged my trip t Beirut at about the time copening of the schools of the American Presbyterian sions in the vilayets of rut was to o into effect. Iam grat- ified to report that fiftecn of said schools had been reopened in auticipation of my arrival, and that orde received from the porté for the immed opening of the five addi- tional schools in the Syrian vilayct the day 1 left Beirut—namely, April 4 These are pretty much all—if not the entire number— that the missionaries care to reopen a1 this time. Such was my understanding of their wishes when they waited on me in a boay while at Beirut to express their gratiacation upon the result.” Some amusement was afforded to those who were in the secret last_ week, over the action of the friends of Speaker Carlisle in watching that gentleman, The speaker was down for a speech. He was to close the great taviff debate of 1888, It was of the ut- most importance that e should be in the best physical condition possible for the great He was to thrash over the old straw located at Jaffa, Jeru- the order for ckenridge, and McMil- len, and Scott, und Mills, aud a dozen othe leading free traders had goue over before. The speaker must be at his, best, nnd his friends were afraid that he would be scized with oue of those fits of illness wiich occa sionally attack him in opportunce moments. Conscquently they watched him as a cat docs a mouse. They scarcely permitted him to breathe without making a record of the inspirations and expirations. It is truo that there were no bulletins furnished to the public, still no man was ever more closely watched than the speaker has been. Night and day some one was close by his side in or- could guard against any un- looked for emergency. It is too bad that the leading free tradder in the house 15 so often threatened by attacks of illness of this kind. If it had been @ republican of prominence the country would have known of all the cir- cumstances when the the attack was first feared ongressman Perry Belmont —se have abondoned his scheme for the ani zation of the consular service. Mr. Belmont bad & good idea, and the bill which he fought for last year had ything to commend it but it failed. While congressmen do a great deal of talking about_veforms, they always neglect the opportunity to maugurate re forms, even when those opportunitics are thrust upon them. The cousular scrvice to day is demoralized, from the fact thut the sation paid to consuls is erratic, and inequitable, There is no do that many of the charges of undervaluat which have been brought against importers s frequently, within the past fow years, have been possiblo because’ of the temptations which are placed in the way of representative of the United States govorn ment, Those who have read 1k Marvel's eu- tertaining books have laughed heartily over his picture of an Americau consul at one of the Mediterranean ports. When he showed how: this consul syt for months waiting for @ fee,aud took in sowething like §1.29 i vivety o a starving @ays, 1t was considered a littie harmless fio- tion. Yot it is truo that the pioture was not overdrawn in the least, but was the absolute rosult of Donald G. Mitcholl's own observa- tions, and he was the consul himself, he knew whoreof he wrote. American consuls aro paid with less regard to the value of their services than any other class of govern- ment servants, unless it be the letter ocar- riers. Mr. Belmont, who s chairman of the forcign affairs committee, recognizes this fact, and Secrctary Bayard ondorses it, yet the house refused to do the square thing, be- cause it would appoar that a few thousand dollars more were to be expended each year. The truth is, however, that should Mr. Bel- bill bocome a law, it would not ma- increase the expense of the govern- ment, a8 the amount paid in fees to some of the more fortunate consuls, like those in London, erpool, Havre and Paris, would be cove into the treasury to be disbursed among the poor devils who, aching for fame in the diplomatic service, sorve their country at starvation wages, and pay their own ox- pens 5 — Notes From Wahoo. Wanoo, Nob., May To the Editor of Tne Ber: Las night Edward Brodball, who who was arrested at Lincoln a few day ago on the charge of stealing a $1,000 note, at the instance of J. H. Patterson, of Omaha, was released, the chargo against him being un- founded, and returned to his home, and is roceiving the congratulationsof his friends, Tho people of Wahoo have known Mr. Brod- ball as an honorable gentloman for many years, and are glad to learn that the serious charges agaist him are untrue, The city council met last night as a court for the hoaring of the remonstrances against applications for license to sell liquor. The ¢ hall was crowded to its utmost capacity with spectators who were interested in the proceedings. The prohibition remonstrants were on hand with a cloud of witnesses and a lively timo was had. A large number of witnesses were examined on the part of tho remonstrators but no material evidence was adduced. An adjournment was taken until to-night when the farce will be continued. 1t is now clear that the point of the prohibi- tionists is to obstruct by such proceeding as lon, as possible, and to so worry the ' applicants to d cause them to throw up If every applicant has to be bothered in this way, Wahoo will have but few saloons, and a good many holes in the wall. When it is remembered that the prohibitionists cast 67 out of 450 votes at the last municipal election, and are now trying, after being defeated at the polls, to prevent license being granted by every means possi- ble, whether fair or not,it makes the average itizen wonder if this is a country in which majorities rule, or where a few malcontents can run everything, while the voice of the people is overridden and counts for naught. SRt An Indian Jungle. By the way, we have now been the whole length of India, from Calcutta to Peshawan, says Carter Harrison in a recent letter to the Chicago Mail, and back to Bombay, on tne other side of the land, and, except at the foot of the Himalayas, have not seen a single forest or, indeed, what we would call a wood. Trees there are everywhere along the roads—along the hederows, scattered about the fields and plains, and dotted over the hills and mountains, but noth- ing like what the most of us at home have supposed to constitute an Indian jungle. All uncultivated or waste ands are called “jungles.” “Out in the jungle” means about the same thing ere as with us to say ‘‘out on the rairies”—that is, on the uninclosed ands, whether bare or in heavy grass. The “‘mountain jungles,” where the tiger has his home, and from which he comes down to carry off people or do- mestic animals, have no trees other than low scattered bushes and rocks. On these no native thinks of going alone at night, or even by day in some of them. e By mutual consent the ten years’ contract between Fanny Gillette and Augustus Piston has been canceled on account of the paucity of satisfactory parts for the lady in Robert Mantell’s repertoire, No. 502, White India Linen Suit, Special value at $5.
