It makes it imperative that the franchise or privilege must be awarded to the highest bidder. This being the law, what have you done in accordance to or in evasion of its terms? Two applications for a railroad franchise out to Ingleside have been laid before you. One of these has been ignored. The other has been advertis Conceding to you the doubtful rnght to ignore an ap- plicant, it must be admitted by you that the franchise which you ad- vertise to bidders must be such a one as would excite competition ; must be so framed and offered as to be the subject of a public sale. You must concede that the logic of this proposition is irrisistible and that if you can so word your offered franchises as to make them valuable to but one bidder you can shut out competition in every case, and thereby utterly defeat and nullify the act of 1893. Look now at the franchise which you have advertised for sale! Read the pub- lished resolution as to what you propose to 1!

You do not need to be advised that the franchise which you sell must be the frarchise which you ad- Vertise, and that the bids and the grant must comply strictly with the terms of the advertisement, or each is void. This being so, who will bid for this franchise?

We shalil have to get up a San Francisco festival before long just to prove we are keeping up with the State. It would be rather awkward to invite the Republican National Convention to come and admire our Solid Eight. There is no occasion for a strike now, but next year the workingmen will have a good chance to hit the free-traders. The operation of machinery in Sacra- mento by electric power generated at Fol- som is another notable mark of the begin- ning of the new era. Eureka proposes to unite the water festi- val of Santa Cruz with the floral fetes of interior cities and put the cap on a kind of double-headed climax. Irrigation and electricity are going to play a very large part in the enterprises of the coming decade and may be accounted the double team of progress. There is music in the air for the Super- visors, and it harmonizes to the good old words, So long as the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return. The San Joaquin irrigation canal ap- proaches completion as the competing road is about to begin, and the big valley feels the thrill of enterprise in every di- rection. It is either very amusing or a very seri- ous reflection on the administration, asone has a mind to take it, to read that the Cuban revolutionary party in New York is preparing to elect a President of the sup- posed republic. The announcement that Thomas B. Reed, as Speaker of the House, would direct legislation at the next session of Congress against monopolies and trusts, gives the people hope of relief at last by having the right man in the right place to do the right thing. It is exceedingly discouraging to those who are trying to build up the City to ob- serve that those who were put in some of the highest places of official trust are doing all they can to make the idea of a resi- dence in S8an Francisco repugnant to self- respecting persons. e 1f there are any local newspapers which publish lottery advertisements and at the geme time are urging the development of the Btate and denouncing the Board of Baperyisors, we should be happy to read #ny code of morals which they may deem lpel.l it proper to publish, persist in doing so are you not la yourse liable to the pains, penalties and forfeitures which that statute imposes upon those who are guilty of such actual or attempted violation of its terms? These suggestions are submitted to you ay to be taken to your meeting and hed and considered there. They are the veto in advance which public opinion has placed upon your action 1n the matter of this franchise. Eight of your number may disregard this veto and further proceed in violation of this law. But those of you who do so, do it at your peril, and if here- after the hand of the outraged statute is laid heavily upon you it will not be pos- sible to plead ignorance as a defense or mitigation of your crime. Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisers, consider these suggestions carefully to-da; A OHILDREN'S SANITARIUM. Dr. William Simpson, recently president of the State Homaopathic Medical Society, contributes to the July number of the Santa Clara, published at San Jose, an ex- ceedingly interesting and suggestive paper on “California asa Sanitarium for Chil- dren.”” He begins by asking if the society of which he is a member has made a suffi- cient study of our mineral springs and of “the tonic and healing properties of our winds and the balm of our sunshine,”” and declares that “no more exalted duty or power ever belonged to a physician or to a medical society than the imparting of in- struction looking to the preservation of human health and life, and especially of child life.”” In comparing the infant mortality of New York and California for February of this year he finds that in eight districts of New York State there were 390 deaths from diphtheria, which was 150 less than the death rate for January and less than in any Fetruary in ten years. The deaths from the same disease in California for January were 13. From January 23 to February 12, in Philadelphia, 280 cases of diphtheria were reported, with 114 deaths, a death rate of over 40 per cent. But as diphtheria is more prevalentin winter than in summer, he takes the New York rate for June, 1894, and finds that these eight districts in New York State in that month had 575 deaths from diphtheria. In the same month, in California, there were ofly ten deaths from diphtheria and croup. The whole number of deaths from diphtheria and croup in California from July, 1893, to July, 1894, was 217, or less than the death rate of any of the New York districts referred to for any month of the year. Dr. Simpson adds: “In the fourteen years I have been in San Jose there has been no sufficient number of cases at any one time to constitute even a mild epi- | demic, and a less number of deaths from diphtheria in the whole fourteen years than I have personally known to occur in one month in a town of less than 10,000 in- habitants in New York State.”” So free are our children from this dreadful disease that no use has been found for the anti- toxine supplied to the San Jose Board of Health during the three months since its receipt. 4 The record in cholera infantum is equally instructive. During the first six months of 1894 there were only 103 deaths from cholera infantum in California. There is a reason for all these things and many more of a kindred nature, and Dr. Simp- son ably sets it forth in the following ap- “fhe maternal instinct is the strongest » 0 known instinct, and it seems to me it be- comes our duty to appeal to this instinet by letting these facts be known, to call attention to the health and vigor of our out-of-door raised children and the possi- bilities of our State as the great play- ground and sanitarium of the children of the world, How much better bring the child here and develop it into the strong, resistent man or woman, than to bring, later on, the half-developed wreck of a possible man or woman, in the hope of lengthening out the span of what must, be, at best, a miserable existence. From the beginning let us turn to the ena of life, and, noting our hale old men and fresh-faced elderly women, declare, as we may, in truth and soberness, that if Cal- ifornia is the child’s play ground, it is also the paradise of the aged.” THE LOTTERY CRUSADE. It is estimated the lottery traffic in this City has decreased fifty per cent since Tue CALL began the crusade against it. This assures the usefulness of the agita- tion and affords sufficient reasons for con- tinuing it. To have warned people of the swindle involved in the traffic and saved money for them is no slight service to the community, and, from the success already accomplished, we draw auguries of further success in the effort to stamp out the nefarious trade and convict the swindlers engaged in it. Two important issues at this time con- front the people of California. These are the maintenance of the dignity of law and the promotion of home industry. Both are involved in the fight against lotteries. By contending against the iniquity we up- hold the law of the Nation, the State and the City. By saving money for the people we preserve that much for home industry and induce men to rely upon labor and not upon gambling for success in life. It cannot be denied that the objects aimed at are worthy the energies of a great paper and the attention of a great people, and, therefore, we propose to keep up the fight until a complete victory has been won. tis with pleasure we recognize the as- sistance given us in the contest by the bet- ter element of the people, The great so- cieties organized for the advancement of civic welfare have been powerful allies in forming public sentiment and supporting the police :n every effort to suporess the traffic. We do not despair of eventually having the co-operation of our contem- poraries in a fight that is so manifestly in the interest of the community from which they as well as ourselves draw support. The lotteries pay enormous rates for ad- vertising, it is true, but they do not pay enough to make up for the loss to the com- munity by their swindles, nor for the wrong done to the prestige of journalism by the violation of the law which they de- mand. TuE CALL has furnished abundant evi- dence of the downright swindling carried on in the lottery trafic. We have shown that most of the companies are fraudu- lent, the tickets are generally forgeries, the alleged prizes are advertising fakes, and that there is no approacheven to gambling honesty in the business. We intend to keep these facts clearly in the public mind. 1t is pleasing to know that the crusade has reduced the trafiic by fiity per cent, but we will not be satisfied until we have driven it to the slums or suppressed it altogether. THE BRITISH ELECTIONS. From the results of the British elections on Saturday it appears the Liberal party in England has gone to pieces utterly. Later elections may redeem the situation some- what, but not much is expectea. The dis- asters may rouse the Liveral leaders to greater efforts, but on the other hand the successes of Saturday will be sure to stimu- late the Conservatives with an enthusiasm more than likely to counterbalance any- thing the fierce courage of despair may do for the Liberals. This overwhelming defeat of a party that so recently controlled Parliament is sur- prising, but now that it has occurred it will not be difficult to find an explanation ofit. Thisisa world of checks and bal- ances. Every advantage has nearly always some compensating disadvantage. The Liberals for many years bave had the ad- vantage of Gladstone’s commanding in- fluence, but with this came the disadvan- tage that the leader grew to be greater than the party, and now that he has re- tired from politics, the party so largely made up of his personal following goes to pieces simply because it has nolonger any- thing to hold it together in the face of ad- verse political conditions. The elections in Scotland will of course pe more favorable to the Liberals than those in England, for Scotland is the Liberal stronghold of the kingdom, but they will not be sufficient to turn the tide of defeat. The next Ministry will be Con- servative by a big majority, and the Tories of the party are said to be sanguine they can dispense with Chamberlain and the Liberal Unionists, and organize a strictly Tory Cabinet. This would be a dangerous game to try. The representatives of Ire- land and Wales are very sure to assist the Scotch in helping the Liberals; and in the face of such a combination Salisbury and Balfour wul hardly be able to get rid of their undesirable ally from Birmingham. The tremendous vote given against the Liberals is enrious when considered in con- nection with the sweeping majorities given in the recent elections in this country. It seems we are living in an age of political tidal waves. People are beginning to think more and more alike. This is prob- ably only a transient condition of politics. If it should continue, however, the time would not be far distant when popular elections would no longer send to the halis of legislation equally divided parties to discuss political questions, but would result in a practically unanimous vote of the people for representatives pledged to carry out a particular line of action. ONE PHASE OF FICTION. ‘W. D. Howells, who may be called the patron saint of “‘realistic’’ fiction in Amer- ica, publishes in Harper's Weekly an implied defense of dialect 1 fiction, but acknowl- edges the fact that this practice on the part of authors rouses the impatience of the general reader. From this he pro- ceeds to assail the custom of writing a dialogue, even of educated persons, in an unrealistic fashion by making them speak grammatically. He mentions the familiar fact that hardly an educated person speaks with absolute correctness or refrains from employing abbreviations in speech, and laments because Henry James, although he now and then “imparts a thrill of hope by writing a contraction,” dashes it by returniag quickly to the old tradition. 1f the use of fiction is to perpetuate and encourage error rather than correct it we misjudge one of its most important func- tions. Dialect is one of the grossest of offenses against language, but its very grossness renders it practically harmless as an evil example to persons even of mod- erate education. Hence on ethical grounds it is permissible. When it comes to taste, that is another matter, for it must be in- trinsically quaint and amusing and rich either in archaism, idiom or metaphor to be tolerated at all, and even then it can be used only very sparingly in order not to be offensive. This is apart from the fact that it is generally diflicult to read, harder to understand, hindering to the progress of a tale and lacking in every one of tho finer qualities of literature. It is not even valu- able on the score of an historical record, for it is the most trivial circumstance of man- ner, is not a custom worthy to be known, recorded or remembered, and bears no vital relation to the character and achievements of its users. ' Fiction should educate by its form, even though it may only amuse by its sub- stance, for form is of the essence of taste. 1If we give Mr. Howells' contention its log- ical application the author should write his entire story in the form of his ordinary careless speech, and to carry the argument to its altimate reach there should be no written language which is not a reproduc- tion of spoken language. The conditions under which books are read are strictly analogous to those under which they are written, and both are radically different from those under which language is spoken. To insiston the exact reproduc- tion of speech in writing is to make the spoken language the standard of form; and that is offensive to every conception of pro- priety and of the higher and nobler eth- ical uses which written language may be made to serve. UP-TO-DATE IDEAS. Chicago proposes to have sub-sidewalk rail- ways. According to the Record of that city the space required will be eight feet in height by eight feet in width. At the curb line a wall is laid from one end of the street to the other. Under the other side of the walk the carb wall is paralleled with a stone foundation for posts and a fence. On this foundation and on the base of the curb wall rails are laid. Iron columns are set on the inner wall sup- porting girders level with the top of the curb well and marking the line between the side- walk proper and the so-called area space, A { W.

The Solid Eight in the Board of Supervisors have showed their hand again in the matter of granting franchises. Having under considera- tion the application of the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railway for a franchise from Sunnyside to Ocean avenue, and the Market-street combination (Southern Pacific) having also an application filed for a franchise paralleling the other, the Solid Eight ignored the San Mateo road application and proceeded to the preliminary work of granting the octo- pus what it wanted. The four Superyisors who represent the peo- ple protested and voted against this job to more effectually clinch the Southern Pacific’s power and freeze out competition, but it was of no use; the clique that had been selected to carry out the will of the Octopus never falter in their subserviency. It is the same old story of defeating the wishes of the people by the “pull” of the railroad and agents that the peo- ple have been misled into choosing. The Solid Eight consists of four liquor-dealers, & butcher, an optician, a capitalist and agrinter. They are unworthy to be named. They are sealing the helplessness of the City. The four Supervisors who represent public sentiment, who have shown by their record that they are not to be bought or intimidated, and who are consistent in their efforts to re. duce municipal aifairs to a business basis, are Joseph I. Dimond, C. L. Teylor, J. K. C. Hobbs and A. B. Spreckels.—San Francisco Nerve. The municipal crisis now confronting San Francisco through the actions of the Solid Eight in the Board of Supervisors has called forth a ringing editorial in THE CALL. The great ques- tion Brother Shortridge fails to answer is, ‘What are you going to do about it? San Fran- cisco is £0 accustomed to elect to municipal and State offices men who promptly sell their honor and the interests they are elected to de- fend that any other style of official would ere- ate amazement in the minds of citizens of the great metropolis. Of course it isobvlous that the Queen City of the Pacific Coast will never attain any marked advance, either in trade or population, while this sort of thing continues, but vigorous action is necessary to a change for the better, and editorial fulminations fall unheeded upon hoodlers of the metropolitan type.—Sausalito News. The truth is that the question. of water sup- ply is now recognized as a vital oneall over the country. Even San Francisco, which has long groaned under the exactions of a private cor- poration that furnishes that city with water, is talking of going to the Bierras for its supply, and those who read the signs of the times do not doubt that sooner or later the coast me- tropolis will carry out this purpose.—San Diego Union. Mr. Cleveland’s candidacy for & third term is announced with considerable positiveness. The announcement, however, is not highly important. The Democratic party will not elect the next President.—Los Angeles Times. — SUPPOSED TO BE HUMOROUS. M“Certainly.” rejoined the King of Dahomey; “My soldiers are always cool in the presence of danger. Why should they not be? They wear shirtwaists, Yes, indeed !”"—Detroit ;l‘rlbnne. A teacher was recently lecturing his class of small boys about errors of speech. “Now, to speak of molasses in the plural is shocking,” he said. “Think of a person saying ‘them molasses!’ *Please, sir, I always say ‘those!” timidly re- marked little Jimmie.—Philadelphia Times. 7 Times have changed since the days of long ago, when one church member went to an- other with this offer: *‘I know you are very busy, Mr. H.; but I will take your little boy to the circus for you if you eannot go.” “Not much!” responded Mr. H., warmly* “Not much. I have been waiting seven years myself for this boy to be old enough to take, Yougo borrow a boy out of a family where they've got more than one.”—Boston Budget. The conversation turned upon the fatal num- Er, Friday, salt-spilling and other supersii- jons. It is not well to make too much fun of such matters,” gravely remarked Brichanteau. “For fnstance I had an old uncle who, at the age of 77, committed the imprudence of making one of & dinner party of thirteen.” “And he died the next day?’ Le Ribi in- quired. “No, but exactly thirteen years afterward.” A shudder ran through the sudience.—Paris Gaulois, .

Tastes, like talents, differ, and the present relay of guests happening to be largely given to excur- sions, pienics and pedestrian tours, it trans- pired last evening thata “jolly crew” found themselves en route to “Bon Sejours,” the lovely country home of Monsieur Somps of San Francisco, situated about a mile and a half above Harbin Springs. The charming hospitality of the genial hosts is well known to their numerous_friends, but this being intended for a surprise party we were a little taken back at finding “Captain Ladd” awaiting to greet us at the entrance to the grounds, but soon discovered that he was there entirely “on his own hook.” So leaving him to meander in the soft moonlight we pro- ceeded to the drawing-room where monsieur and madame recovering from their momentary surprise lent themsclves at once to every device for the pleasure of their unexpected guests. Dencing being proposed the grand march was led by Professor Motier and Madame Moraghan of San Francisco. A much-enjoyed duet was rendered by the young Messrs. Bozio on violin and piano, after which Mme. Somps’ lovely contralto voice mingled sweetly with Mrs. Edson’s soprano. Then an eloquent recitation from Mr. Bozio Sr. and a humorous song by Captain Hays were highly applauded. Miles. Lind and Mills and Messrs. Prince, Boudreau, La Fayette, Dupres aud others all added their quota, and when the parting hour arrived we drank to the health and future prosperity of Captain Ladd and his charming mademoiselle, and then wended our way homeward through the starlight well sat- isfied with our outing.
