In his inagugural address President McKinley spoke to the country what Tenny- | son called “large, divine and comfortabie words.” carries confidence {0 the people. There distrust among any class of cltizens. portance of legislation to promote general which 1t should be undertaken. The President counsels the creation of rency and banking laws; promises that international bimetallism will have early and earnest attention; advises economy in the conduct of the Government and an increase of revenue by tariff taxation, avoiding as far as possible every form of direct taxation, to the end that industry may be protected as well as a revenue supplied to the Governmen:; urges that in the work of tariff revision attention should be given' to the re-enactment and extension of reciprocity principles; declares for the enforce- | ment of the law and the preservation of the rights of citizens; pledges the adminis- tration to enforce all laws against combinations of capital organized to control arbitrarily the condition of trade; suggests immigration laws; assures support to civil service reform of a kind that shall be “real and genuine, not perfunctory or prompted by zeal in behalf of any party, simply because it Lappens to be in power’; calls attention to the need of restoring our American merchant marine; favors the adoption of the proposed arbitration treaty with England, and announces that an extra session of Congress will be called to meet March 15. ‘The points of the address which will attract most attention are .those referring to the creation of a commission for the settlement of the currency and banking problems, the enforcement of the law against trusts, the policy announted with respect ‘to civil service reform, the support given to the arbitration treaty, and the importance of an The declarations in favor of an immediate revision of the tariff will occasion little comment because they were expected, and discussion on extra session of Congress. that subject is ended. It is everywhere adequate to the needs of the Government, and since the disastrousexperiment with the Democratic tariff there is no longer any opposition to a return to the protective system. It will be noted that the President puts the tariif issue first, and declares that not until an adequate revenue is assured can we undertake to make any changes in our This is in accord with public opinion, and will strengthen popular confidence in the policy to be pursued by the administration. "lhe appeal of the President to Congress to support him in the work which be has undertaken cannot be overlooked. He truly says: | and the revival of business, which men of largely upon the prompt, energetic and intelligent action of Congress than upon any other single agency that affects the situation. rely upon Congress to act promptly in meeting the emergency. financial systeru. On the contrary every sentiment and every sen- tence appeals to the patriotism of the people, inclines to harmonize discordant opinions, and gives promise of a return to prosperity and the establishment of an era : | ot good feeling which will put an end to economic disturbances and political agita- | tious on industrial topics. The President gave no space in his address to a vague exordium. He proceeded atonce to consider the condition of the country and to outline the pelicy which he would adopt in providing remedies for existing evils. suffering from industrial disturbances from which speedy relief must -be had.” He | spoke of “the prevailing business conditions entailing idleness upoa willing labor | and loss to useful enterprises.” From this beginning he went on to speak of the im- It was a speech of good cheer.

The movement now started to provide work for the unemployed in this City is most timely in every respect and deserves the most liberal support from all citizens. It promises good results not only to the ment, but to the community generally, and is in the truest sense a public enter- prise rather than a charity. The proposed boulevard, for which the | Spring Valley Water Company and ex- Mayor Sutro have given a broad right of way, will provide San Francisco with a driveway not inferior to the most noted in Its construction will he a the world. benefit by giving employment to many | who need it, and its completion will be an | adavantage to the City which itis hardly possible to overrate. Its usefulness will inctease as the years pass and it will eventually become one of the noied at- tractions of the City. The movement in this City is timely | rds with the aspirations of the peopie and will be s | part and parcel of that great National | policy which the new administration is to carry out. The platform on which Me- Kinley was elected was that enunciated by himself in the terse statement that he advocated for the American people ‘‘an honest dollar and the chance to earn it.” The new administration will pursue a | policy radically different from the old. Its chief aim will be to provide opportu- nities for labor and work for the workers. 1ts mission will be the same as that which has been undertaken in this City to pro- ployed. The beginning of an administration de- | voted to such a poliey constitutes an epoch | in our history so different in its nature | from that through which we have jusv.; passed that it rightly deserves the title | given toit by the people, “a new era.”’ Tt will be a period in which legislation will | | be directed to the end of opening Ameri- | can factories, developing American re- sources, expanding American commerce, providing profits for American capital | and assuring work and wages for Ameri- | can skill, energy and industry. No policy, either civic or National, can be better than that which aims to provide | work for the American people. The lack of empioyment implies something more than enforced idleness. 1t carries destitu- tion into the homes, ruin to debtors, and distress to all. A policy of abundsnt work means-the upbuilding of the home as well as of the Republic. It means | prosperity and comfort by the fireside as well as grandeur and wealith at the Na- tional capital. It is most appropriate, | therefore, that this season which inaugur- ates the beginning of an administration | pledged to promote American industry should be marked by a municipal move- | Tvery citizen who can afford to do so should | such assistance as he can to the | undertaking. Let us provide work for the workers. Let us see to it that in San Francisco no industrions man has his THE NIOARAGUA CANAL. In the appropriation bili as agreed to by the Senate in the closing hours of its session on Thursday morning the appro- | priation of $150,000 for & new survey of the Nicaragua canal remains. This implies that the new administration is expected 1o revise the work of the Cieveland ad- | ministration on this subject and to begin | the great enterprise anew. From the representations made to the Senaté a short time ago by the Minister from the Greater R-public of Central America, it is evident that the continuance of the project in regard to the canal will be ia the hands of the State Department rather than of Congress. The opposition shown by the Greater Republic transfe: the project to the field of diplomacy, and until some treaty can be arranged, nothing can be done by this Government unless the United States should resolve to do it by force. Fortunately for the country the new Secretary of State is John Sherman. He is known to be favorable to the enterprise, and can be relied upon to exert his ener- gies to obtain from the Central American Republic terms which will admit the con- struction of the canal by the money of the United States and under the control of the United States. Certainly this Govern- ment will never consent that the eanal should be opened except under our control, As Great Britain asserts the right to close the Suez canal to any foreign power, which in case of war might choose to | can ideas, may provide a way for the be- | names ol the speakers who are to deliver | will arrange their affairs so that they can attack her possessions in East India, so would we assert our right in case of war to control the Nicaragua canal against any power that desired 10 use it to send | warships to attack the Pacitic Coast. ‘While the situation remains as it is it is not easy to predict the next step which will be taken in the project. The very fact, however, that the Senateleftin the appropriation bill a sum of money to pro- vide for a new survey mgkes it certain that the Senators have confidence in the | ability of Secretary Sherman to arrange terms for a_speedy beginning of the con- struction of the work. The outlock there- | fore may be considered encouraging, and it is within the limits of probability that the McKinley administration, which is so thoroughly in harmony with all Ameri- ginning of the enterprise, and go far to- ward carrying it to completion, THE CAUSE Of OUBA. The measures taken by the Cuban relief committee of this Citv to call a mass- meeting assure the success of that assem- bly. The cause itself is popular, not only by reason of American sympathy with the | Cuban patriots, but by its essential jus- | tice, and by the further fact that the rights of American citizens in Cuba seem 10 be inseparably bound up with the pa- triotic cause by the despotic course pur- sued by the Spanish authorities in deal- ing with Americans who are suspected of sympathizing with the patriots, In addition to this the mass-meeting will be rendered interesting to the people because it will be addressed by some of | the most eloquent orators and eminent | citizens of the community. It will there- | fore have abundant claims on vablic at- tention, and will assuredly be a thorough manifestation of the sentiments of the people of San Francisto. The date for the mass-meeting has been fixed for the 13th, providing Metropolitan Hall can be obtained for that day. At any rate the meeting will be he'd as early as possible, in order that San Francisco may promptly add her weight to that of her sister cities in the Union 1n promoting the cause of | the Cuban patriots and assertipg the rights of American citizens who have sui- fered trom Spanish despotism and tyr- anny. It 1s altogether right that this should be so. When all other cities of the Union bave spoken it would be a discredit to San Francisco if her voice should be silent, and there can be no question that every genuine American in the City will be glad of the opportunity to attend a meeting called for that purpose, and give utterance to his approval of this declaration of American sympathy for the Cuban pa- triots and American determination to protect all citizens of the United States in toreign lands. 1t is hardly necessary to say more at this time than 1o call attention to the propoted meeting. In due time the date finally fixed will be announced and the the addresses will be given. When this is done it goes without saying the people be present at the meeting without fail. Reports from Cuba have made it certain that American citizens have suffered grievous wrong from the Spanish officials in the island, and every American well understands how important it is that these wrongs should be redressed. More- over the people know that they have now in the office of President of the United States a man who is thorough accord with public sentimeni, who sympathizes with every impulse of the people and who is resoiute to uphold the dignity of the Re- public. To what the people speak he will attend. The mass-meeting therefore will be something more than a display of ora- tory. It will be an encouragement to Prestdent McKinley to go forward and en- force a foreign policy which shall be for- eign in name only and truly American in every respect. “UNEMPLOYEv" GOLD-DIGGERS. The plan of providing a store of unlimited work for the unemployed by sending them to the mining regions to dig gold is befifg ac- tively jconsidered by some people connected with the Labor Bureau and with the mining industry, and will likely be a matter of public discussion very soon. This solution of the standing problem of the unemployed in California seems easy, ch faultless and yet besot with difficulties that make it seem almost impracticable. The plan ought to be carried out at once, and likely never will pe. 1In its simplest form the scheme is like this, Up in Trinity County & number of miles from the railroad there is a bend in Poor Man's Creek on storile Government laud. Nost of | the gravel along and under the stream was worked over by placer-miners long ago and the placer-mining claims have been aban- doued. Much of the gravel is tailings con- taining a little gold and there sre thousands of cubic yaras of unworked deposits which contain traces of gold. The water is right there and one man or & little partyofmen could average from 75 cents to $125 per day by hard work with rocker or sluice. .Nobody. cares to bother with this gravel. Five miles below a gang of Chinese is industriously earn- ing these wages. They are not unemployed. One of these days a lot of them will pack their rice and a little lumber over to Poor Man's Bend and go cheerfully to work getting more 80ld 10 go back to China with.

He pawned his kit of t00ls'some time ago, and he is knee-deep in & wide morass of city poverty, with thousands of others, which is more hopeless and cursed than being as deep ip & marrow mud-hols, with firm ground and sunshineabout. He would start promptly to walk to Fresno if he knew -that he could earn & doilar a day when he got there, Jones has seen pictures of miners with their pans aud rockers by streams in the hills, and that's about all he knows about mining. But if you tell him that you know a place, a govd way off, where. he can eatn .a dollar a'day digging gold, if he can get a shovel abd pick and a few boards; that he can dig a ‘hole to sleep in, or build a little shelter of logs and brush; that he can live if_he can get s littlg bacon, flour, coffee and a fishi-ine; that in two | ‘or three wegks he can get together enough gold dust to provide him & better outfit, and that if he is sober, industrious snd resolute he may ‘soon’ enjoy independent manliood amid Tature’s pure air and sunshine, he will jump- at the opportunity with more gladness and hope than he would at six months’ work on a boulevard. You- see, the lute -of “gold dig- glng” is in it, and the hope in it gleams in- spiringly. There are through the gold belt of California many thousands of acres of such ground, and though they are very thinly .spangled with the golden grains they hold many mil- lions in treasure. They constitute the resi- due after the placer operations of the years since 1848. The placer miners have taken out hundreds of millfons, and the richness is gone from all the surface deposits, but the old placer miners didn’t get all the gold from the gravel they hustled over the rifiles, and vast quentities of that same old gravel will just pay for the re-working, Greater quantities that have always been fgnored because 100 poor to work by hand labor line the water courses. Most of this ground i8 in the hands of pri- vate owners, and pieces of ground are fre- quently worked after megotintions with the owner. Hydraulic companies own bigstretches of it here and there. Much of it is on railroad lands, with the privilege of working easily procurable. Here and there are spots, little and big, on Government land, which nobody wants, One may wash gravel on public land as freely as he may gather greens. It isnotto be disputed that & man or a small party of men may go to one of thousands of piaces in this State and thus make a living. The difficulties appear when actual opera- tions on a large scale are contemplated. The burean in charge must find definite prices of ground and know just the value of the gravel— that here or there three or thirty men can earn somuch. It §8 the idea that the Mining Bu- reau should locate the ground and plan opera- tions. This and the matier of getting the un- employed there and started each involves or- ganized machinery and expert efiort. The human nature in the unemployed would pro- | vige for the difficulties. Tuis would be substituting gold patches for potato patches. The pian is extensively and | successtully followed by the colonial govern- ments of New Zeslaud and Australia. With the gold-bearing commons of the mountains and foothills charted and assayed by ayailable patches, aud a way of getting industrious men there with picks and beans, there would be & reservoir of productive labor waiting to be | tapped to any exient.

Mr. Mayham Will Soon Go From Here to His Gr1d Properties in N vaca Henry J. Mayham, the millionaire mine-owner of Denver, who made the rec- ord-breaking run tecently on a special train from Chicago over the Burlington road to Denver. is at the Palace. Mr. Mayham was at Fort Wayne when he got the news tbat bis son was dying. He immediately wired for a special train from Chicago, An engine which had just come 1n over the road was got in time and the general superintendent proffered his own car. Snow had been falling and the outlook was unpropitious for making the fast time desired. Mr. Mayham wanted a guar- antee that he would reach Denver, a dis- tance of 1025 wmiles, in twenty-four hours. He could not exact this promise, but he was assured that it would be the quickest trio by far that ever was made. And it was. From the time that the wheels began to turn out of the unmion depot till it reached the base of the Rocky Mountains the pace was something fright- ful to contemplate. The entire distance was compassed in 1133 minutes, or a little less than nineteen hours. Of this eighty- #ix minutes were occupied at different si tions in taking on water and supplies and changing and oiling engines. The actual running time was 1047 minutes, and the rate of speed was within a fraction of fifty-nine miles an hour on the average, or almost a mile a minute. In its trip to the base of the Rockies the train climbed a height of one mile. Mr. Mayham says the ride was in all respects a wild one. The engine and car in many places swayed to and fro as if flyine through space. Where sharp turns were made the sway= ing was enough to make one’s bhair turn. Across a part of Illinois and over nearly all of fowa the surface is undulating, so that it was a terrible pace to keep up. Take it all in all, for the great distance and the time in which the feat was done, it was the greatest speed ever attained. Mr. Mayham 13 interested extensi in mining at Gold Creek, Nevada; y miles north of Elko. He will visit the mines before returning East.
