The drainage now is about as bad as anything in that line can be. The Spring Valley Works put in a tunnel or a drain pipe from Lake Honda, below the Aims- house, and the waste waters as well as the storm’ waters from the watershed pass through the Sunset district. The action of the water has gullied out the sand and It is expected that the Board of Super- visors will take up the subject at the regular session to-morrow. It is roughly estimated that the proposea brick sewer will cost the City abour, $25,000. . | The building of the Affiliated Colleges, the construction of the Balboa boule- vard and plaps for other improvements in that section of San Francisco have directed public attention to Sunset.

This however, is ithe sentimental side of the question, and sphce ¥orbids its enlargement. But upon material grounds—if we are base gnough to fly no higher in the realms of jthics—free Cuba means ultimately American erritory. This territory is what we need, and n the Tear future must have.

Commercially, it dominates the whole South American con- tinent, whose trade we are after.

When a piamo is badly out of tune, the noises that come from it are certainly not musical. The: are not beautiful. I it is only a little bit out of tune, you can play some few things onit. You can create a semblance of music, but you can- not make reaily beautiful, satisfying, soul- stirring music, unless every string is tense and firm, unless every piece of the whole instrument is in perfect tunme, perfect condition, in perfect harmony with every other piece. : It is the same with a human being. If his body is all out of order and run-down, he will not be able to enjoy anything, no matter how full of enjoyment it may be for other people. If he is just a little bit out if he *is ck, but doesr’t feel just right” he will only be able to enjoy things in a half-hearted sort of way. The nearer Tie is to being perfectly well, the nearer will his capacity for enjoyment be perfect. To really live, and to take his part in the work and pleasure of the world, his body must be in perfect con. dition. If this condition doesn’t exist. something is wrong and_something ought to be done. That something nine cases in ten means the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

The Louisiana purchase =ave us peaceably the central part of the conti- nent, and only an idiot can 1ail to see that if this had not been ceded to Jefferson for a price we would have crimsoned the waters of the Mississippi by sggressive warfare to secure the ownership to tne ocean. In spite of oppo- sition we do want territory wherever it is | needed for the advancement of American in- | terests. and the time should never come when we shail be too cowardly todraw the sword for this, the hour apd the necessity having been reached to do so.

The | revious administration was servile to Spain, Bat this. one, 50 far, gives svidence oF sui: bidding it in ignoble scrvice. It is to be hoped that this policy may soon change. Something | more than a paltry donation by Tongress to | help the victims of Spanish cruelty is due t the heart of our countrr, which is not cow ardly nor selfish when facing its natural obl gations to check tne murder of heipless pa. triots. The cheap trumpeting of the demand | that {iAmerican citizens must Le protected” is | only to quiet and deceive those who have been anxiously and rightfully expecting so much | more. Of course. American citizens are to be pro- tected as the first and chiet duty of the execu. tiveof the Nation; but, more than this, shall ve compel an_observance of the rules of civi- lized warfare toward those 5o close 1o us as the Cubsns; shall we continue to listen un- moved to 'their appeals for help while they ere making the most heroic strugele for free- dom since Leonidns; and shall we cease to be the voluntary naval police in support of Spain, doing this vile service 1o the suppression of or interference with our own legal and legiti- mate commerce with the Cuban insurgentss Spain has never been our friend, nor so far aided us in any way, that we should now be- come her ally at the price of our manhood and public justice.

John Bain, one of the prominent Scotch residents of the City, passed away last Friday night at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. George Cumming, 21 Fell street. The deceased was born in Renfrew, Scot- land, nearly eighty-four years ago and emierated to New Orleans in 1842, coming to California via Panama in 1850. He was a member of the Vigilance Committee of 1856, veing one of the guards detailed to waich the room in which David 8. Terry was confined. He was one of the organiz- ers of the S8t. Andrew’s Society and the Caledonian Club. He leaves one surviving daughter, eight grandchiidren and six great-grandchil. dren.

The Sunset District. south of Golden Gate Park, extends from First avenue west to Sixteenth avenue, and from H street south to O street. Some day it will | be an important residentisl section of the City. Seventh avenue, leading directly from the park to Balboa boulevard, passes through the heart of the Sunset District. | Ninth avenue also connects with the | boulevard. Much of the land in that Tezion is owned by Adolph Sutro, A. E. Buckingham, Middlemas & Beale, Getz Bros., Mr. Sheehy and the Callahan and Reynolds estates. The Grand Jury recently recommended to the Board of Supervisors the construc- tion of a 30-inch brick sewer, to extend from Eighth avenue and J street, along J to Tenth avenue, on Tenth avenue to I street and along I to Twentieth avenue. there to discharge into the drifting sand, Ultimately the drainage system will be extended to the ocean. This gully grows deeper and widor after each heavy rainstorm, and if something is not done to carry off the water throngn a sewer much valuable property will be destroyed. Houses as well as lots will be under- mined before another rainy season ends.

The Gully on J Street, Between Twelfth and Thirteenth Avenues, Sunset District, Caused by the Action of the Waste and Storm Waters, ment from the army for age of Colonel Edmund C. Bainbridge, several touching incidents occurred, which showed the respect and affection in which he was held by the officers and enlisted men of his old regiment, the Third United States Artillery. The officers of the regiment presenied him with a beautiful silver salad bowland the soldiers a handsome gold-headed cane. In thanking the latter, as they were tormally drawn up the colonel said a few words in farewell, and as he turned to leave the parade was enthusiastically cheered by them, while the band struck up “Auld Lang Syne.”” On the following day, when he was leaving the post, Angel I:land, the soldiers congregated of them- selves on the wharf, and as the steamer pulled out again cheered their beloved commander. The colonel and his family are to reside, at least for the present, in this City. Colonel Bainbridge entered the United States Military Academy from Virginia in 1852 and served continuously in the army since his graduation. His services during the Civil War were distinguished, win- ning for him 'the brevets of major and lieutenant-colonel.

Mayor Phelan Says That the Commissioners Have Vie- lated the Law. Hardware Men Testify That the Iron Used Is Fully Up to Speci- fications. Mayor Phelan gave the City Hall Com- missioners a quiet intimation at the meet- ing yesterday that they had violated the law in changing the specifications for the roof of the hall after the contract had been let. Ever since he began sn investigation into the manner in which the roof is being | constructed the Mayor has had the im- pression that the structure is imperfect, and that when therains come again leaks | will develop that will cause great damage to the building. He employed an expert to report on the matter, and the result wasa stalement that the cement covering of the corru- gated iron wouid crack under the hot sun and that in winter it would leak freely. The other Commissioners, Auditor Broa- erick and City and County Attorney Cres- well, made objection to the report on the ground that it bad been made by a man who, from the nature of his business, was naturally opposed to the styleof roof being built. Then Mayor Phelan asked two United States engineers—Lieutenants Charles L. Potter and F. 8. Rickon—to report on ‘the roof, and the result was made known yes- terday. The reports of the two experts substantially agreed, that of Lieutenant Potter being that the cement finish will crack and will separate from the galvan- ized iron. He cosnsiders that the beach sand when wet will corrcde the iron, be- cause of the salt. In some parts of the work already done the cement gutter is not even a continuation of the roof slope, but rests on top of it, giving another sur: face,which the water will readily follow to the brick wall. Mayor Phelan insisted that these men could not be mistaken, though others might have been, and that the Commis- sioners should take some cognizance of the danger of building a faulty roof. He asked what courde would be taken with m"l;.:;mnt ‘Refer them to the architect,” sai Cre;;wou. 3 t,”” said Mr. “‘But will not the Commission - sider them ?” asked the Mayor.
