THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL. To-day the Nation recalls the services of Grant and does honor to his memory. It took New York a lonz time {o erect the Grani mausoleum, but she has done it well. When we have completad Balboa avenno we will not envy New York the possession of Riverside Cleveland’s speech at the Reform Club banquet can be summed up in four word It was a croak In the meantime Crete is still on the map even if she does appear to have been put out of the ring. The farmers are praying for April showers, so we might as well look out for them and expect them any day. The Mississippi Hoods have broken all the records, nearly all the levees and most of the farmers along the river banks, and still the rise goes on. The Kaiser says peace shall be main- amed among the great powers, and yet, like the rest of us, perhaps he can’t most always sometimes tell The people along the Mississippi should take to the indnstry of raising ducks and drakes and enable themselves to be in the swim when the floods come. Some people sre makinz fun of the whiskers of our new Minister to Turkey, but they may prove useful to him if he ehould ever have to beard the Sultan. The Senate Finance Committee is not muking much noise on the tariff question, but it is doing good business and prepar- ing the way for every industry to do like- wise. If our sympathies are torn by the con- flicting reports from the war in Greece we can turn for consolation to the fight in Cuba. The American favorites are win- ning there. The success of the Turkish armies in battle seems to be due mainly to the skill of the German officers who direct their artillery, and rarely has the science of | Germany been worse applied. It is to be hoped the Washington Post is correct in saying ‘‘Secretary Bliss is about to de-Hoke Smithize the Interior Department.” The job if well done will have merit enough to justify that phrase or any other way of putting it. Pennsylvania has decided to build a Capitol to cost $550,000, and expects to have i iy in two years’ time, and if she gets off with double the money and twice the time she may count herself lucky. Don't forget that the meetings of the Woman's Congress will be worth artend- ing. Important subjects are to be dis- cussed, and there are plenty of able and | eloguent speakers in the congress to deal with them. It was <aid that Edhem Pasha had been superseded in command of the Turkish army, then that he was wounded, and now that he is still to the front and is to be decorated for his victories. Edhem seems to be a man of versatility. As Arthar Balfour attended a meeting of the British Cabinet wearing a full golf | costume Jerry Simpson ought not to be nbused for wearing golf stockings in Con- gress. The American statesman is en- titled to as much liberty as the Britisher | of The Tammany chiefs have decided to | adopt in New York at the next municipal | campaign the same tactics which the Democrats used in Chicago, and we shall eee whether the gold-brick swindle in politics can be worked with success twice inside of a year. A Pennsyivania statesman has intro- | duced into the Legislature a bill providing | that all oleomargarine offered for sale i shall be colored deep green, so that avery body can recognize it. The idea is capabls of unlimited expansion. Why not have | all adulterated wines, ous and jellies col- ored the same way? In magnitude and in greatness of mean- ing the dedication of the Grant monument in New York to-day will surpass the cele- bration of the Queen’s reign in London, | and yet many New Yorkers will turn their backs apon the grand demonstration in their own city 1o cross the ocesn and pay a large price to see the lesser one abroad. | Itissaid that during the last twenty- five years over 300 monuments to dis. tinguished persons have been erected in | France and committees are now soliciting | money for 127 more. It is not strane | that the art of the sculptor flourishes in a | lan d of that kind. Even the patience of the people in receiving favorably so many solicitors may be regarded as truly monu- mental. No recent issue of State concern has mo engaged the minds of the people gen- crally as the crusade against adulterated foods, and the convention to be hela in this City to devise means for dealing with the subject will have abundant support 1f it devises any practicable plan for ridding usof theevil. City and country are at one on this point, and we shall soon see what can be done by a united Californ! in putting a check to one of the worst de- fects of modern civilization, as the adul- #azation of food undoubtedly is, | | States is not widely | only to be looked for in the future. THE SAN FRANOCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1S97. ULYSSES S. The solemn, impressive and patriotic GRANT. services sttending the dedication of the Grant monument in New York will attract the attention of the whole people of the United States to-day.

Y In all the enlogiums that will be spoken concerning Grant to-day there will bs nothing said with which the people are not aiready familiar, long studied, and mueh has been said and cloquence with tongue and b among our people. His character has been written concerning it by men of the highest He therefore needs no praise at this time, nor any orator, however eloquent, 1o bear witnesy to the American people concerning his services to the Union or the nobleness of his personal character. The people of the United States, in the South as well as in the North, have come to regard this Lero of Appomattox, wio at the ciose of the war expressed his own policy in the statement,"'Let us have peace,” as in the truest sense an ideal American. As he represented the ardent intensity of Northern patriotism during the war and | the full force of Northern resolution to preserve the Union, so also he represented after the war was over the desire for a com plete restoration of an era of good feeling between the hostile sections. He was no believer in a nation held together by bayonets. He desired a union of heurts as well as of lands, and the latter years of his life were consecrated to the purpose of bringing about the great resu!t. The tomb in which his body lies on Riverside avenue in New York will share with that of Mount Vernon and that of Springfield the honor of the American people. It is a great and noble mausoleum which New York has erected to this great and noble man, and it will be long tha shrine toward which American pilgrims will make | their way. CREAMERIES IN CALIFORNIA. A rapidly gathering industry which bitherto has failed to attract a3y con- certed attention from the State pressis that of the establishing of creameries toroughout California. There have been creameries in California for a number of years, but 1ately the number has increased at a pace which makes the toial at the present time a rather astonishing one to contemplate. There are something like 250 estab- lished and in full running order, while additional ones are in view in Red Biuff, Watsonville, Soledad, Lodi, Mon- terey and other places. In fact, the in- crease of these butter and cheese factories has been so prominently forced upon pab- lic aitention that the last Legislature took particular cognizance thereof and enacted some C: iron laws for the direction of the industry upon proper lines, looking prin- cipally to the maintenance of purity in the products. Tne State Dairy Dureau has been authorized and instructed to furnish free of cost to those who apply in writing certain molds with the imprint of legalized brands to fit the various pre- scribed kinds of cheese which they are permitted to turn out under the pure-food clause. Noting the full significance of this tidal wave of cream, the Western Creamery rises to assert that this State has no longer any practical reason for importing either but- ter or cheese, and it would seem that its assertion is just. Thers is quite as much of the principle of protection in the patronizing of local industries such as the creamery movement, to the exclusion of outside products which are seut in and offered side by side with the home proa- ucts, as there is in the passing of laws to keep outside products from coming in. In the present case this kind of protection is so obviously feasible and opportune that no one who claims to be a protection- ist can consistently ignore it. Our house- wives may become protectionists to a very practical degree by following this ele- mentary principle and insisting on hay- ing butter and cheese of California mana- facture. RIVERSIDE AND BALBOA. The dedication of the Grant monument on Riverside avenue to-day will eall pub- lic attention to the beauty of that grand avenue and prove the wisdom of the city of New York in devising it and carryine it out to a completion so periect in every respect. New York will be honored as much for the grand driveway which she has constructed as for the great monu- | ment which stands ide it, and the peo- ple throughout the country will be forcibly reminded of the importance of such thor- oughfares to all great and enterprising communities. It is natural that from this attention to Riverside drive the minds of the peo- ple of Ban Francisco should revert to the great avenue which is being constructed at home. Balboa avenue can never be- come to San Frarcisco exact!y what River- side is to New York. of the two cities and the relation of the two driveways to the general plan of the municipality are too widely different for them ever to become much alike in gen- eral respects. Nevertheless they have these | points in commen, that each constitutes the most picturesque driveway of the community to whicn it belongs, ard each is accounted as one of the chief orna- ments of its city. New York has fairly completed River- side avenue to the extent originally de- signed, and is now talking of extending t. San Francisco has but begun Balboa avenue. The New Yorkers are realizing benefits and pleasures which with us are The success atiained there will be a stimulant to us to rapidly advance the work here. When we read of what has been accom- plished in New York we will have new in- ducements 10 subscribe money to the Bal- bos-avenue fund so that the work can be prosecuted vigorously and the avenue opened as speedily as possible. Until we have completed this work urgent solicitations for contributions to the fand to defray the cost will be always | in order. ThE CALL has iterated and re- iterated the importance of the enterprise in the past and will continue to do so un- !l complete success has been attained. The amount of money now needed is com- paratively small, and every doliar con- tributed makes it just 80 much less. Let us not balk 1n the work at this point. us go, forward and open that driveway which, while inferior to Riverside in some respects, will be so far superior to it in others that we can rightly challenge the metropolis of the East to a comparison.

Nothing was said at the | banquet of sufficient importance to live in the memory of those who read it even for a single day, and beyond the generai de- nunciation of the supporters of Mr. Bryan and the sdministration of McKinley, the great mass of the American people could not recall this morning anything of sr. Cleveiand’s speech which they read on Sunday The sole effect of the address of the ex- President seems to have been to give occa- sion to the verbose Mr. Bryan to write another letter, and to the irrepressible Henry Watterson to reutter with his | usual’ wit and vindictiveness his hostitity to Cleveland, Clevelandism and all that appertains to the “cuckoo’ party. These | responses to the address may have added | something to the amusement of the | people, but beyond that Mr. Cleveland effected nothing by the ponderous plati- | tudes which he so seriousiy read to his | admirers at the banquet. | 1f the Cleveland faction of the American people can achieve nothing more exciting | or stimulating than what was put forth at |the New York meeting, we may account the possibility of the reappearance of Gro- ver Cleveland asa serious factor in our politics as not only out of the list of possi- [ ble dangers but among the least of our public annoyances. There is no possible | chance that such orations and such senti- | ments as emanated from the banquet can | bave the least effect upon the American | peowle, other than taat of increasing their | | weariness with Cleveland and his party. The issues of politics to-day and for the future are to be made up by the McKinley | administration and that wing of the Dem- | ocratic party which supported Bryan dur- | ing the campaign and is now represented | in Congress. It is the issue between con- servatism and radicalism, between protec- tion and free trade, between genuine bi- metallism and the Mexicanization of our currency, between the statesmanship which is represented by McKinley and all | the erratic vagaries which are advocated by Bryan.

What is there up the river, fifty miles, one hundred miles, up its long course among the fleecy snows in the grim mountsins whose peaks stand round and about like sentinels of Goa?
