City extension has got a move on in California. Trr SuspAY CALL is the best of Sunday reading. Leave orders for it to-day. We may yet have to annex Ban Mateo to keep anead of the otlfer side of the bay. | By and by we shall hear Sonora claim- ing to be “The Qucen City of the Native Daughters.” The Heal!sburg paint mine has started | up, and the sky of promise in that locality | is accordingly tinted with the roseate hue | of prosperity. I e | The Lastern summer has set In with more than the usual number of cyclones, | and almost every day brings a report of | somo new disaster. | It may be true that Great Britain has | sent the Sultan an ultimatum, but the | Sultan has received so many such things of late years he will probably use this one to light his pipe. The Cubans have gathered around Ha- vana in such force that General Weyler | does not dare to venture into the suburbs and will probably spend thissummer in the city for bis health There is a rumor at Washingtoa that Boy Balley believes he can beat Boy Brvan for the Democratic nomination in 1909, | and it is said the reason he is keeping still is because he is sawine wood. To save themselves from the great wind- ns that sweep over their country some n peopie build houses of stone and | some dig cellars, but the only safe way of | escape i3 by the railroad to the Pacific | Coast. The hot rivalry between competing | wine-makers to secure the output of the vineyards of Sonoma and Santa Clara anzurs well for the grape-growers of those valleys, wko are in a position to have their demands favorably consivered. The President is very rightly making | his visit to the Nashville exposition a holiday trip, and travels slowly, taking in | all the sights as he goes along. That is | the way a President should always do in making tours of the country. He should see the cities and the farms and give the people a chance 1o soe him. | Therecent experiment at Indian Head of discharging from a cannon a shell | loaded with guncotton was very success- ful in showing that the guncotton will explode, and itis to be regretted that it blew the gun into smithere ns and scat- tered the pieces so far and wide that the Government lost the use of them even as ola metal. Tiilman may be excitable in nature and rude in manners, but that he hassome sensein his head is shown by his statement in the Senate on Thursday. ‘‘Itisto the best interest of the American people that | the articles consumed by our people shou!d be produced by our people. If that is Re- publican doctrine, well and good. If that isnot Democratic doctrine, it ought to be.” The announcement that the Minneapo- lis is to be taken out of commission in or- der that her officers and crew may be | transferred to one of the nower gunboats | recalls attention to the sad lack of men in the navy. The force at present is not suf- | ficient 10 man the ships we hove recently | constructed, and when one goes to sea an- | other has to go into port and wait until the crew comes back. The absence of anything like a National | volicy on the tariff question among Demo- | cratic Senators is shown by the fact that they vote for protection to the industries of their own States and against protection 10 the industries oi others. They seem to have no conception of the Nation as a | whole, but vote on State or sectional lines every time, and that is one of the reasons they could not make a good tariff of their own, even for revenue purposes. The joint resolution introduced into the Benate permitting Chinese to come into this country to make an exhibit at the Omaha Exposition ought to be amended by granting to those at Nashville the privilege of renewing their exhibit at Omaha. There is no reason why a new set should be admitted, for it is well known that there are enough Chinese here now totake charge and conduct any ex- position of industry that China will ever desire to maxe in this country. A swmined-glass window recently pre- sented to a church in Syracuse, N. Y. contains a picture of an angel without wings, and a dispute has arisen as to whether it shali be allowed 1o remain in the church. The objectors urge that all ancels have winge, but on the other side it is argued that those Jacob saw ascend- ing and descending on a ladder could not Lave bad wings, or they would not have needed the ladder. We have thus a new subject for summertime conversation, and one, moreover, on which esch disputant may safeiy challenge bis opponent to prove his facts. | tion; LETTING DOWN THE BARS. The Trans-Mississippi Exposition to be held during the coming year at Omaha promises to exceed in its scope and im- pogiance the hopes of the most sanguine of iits projectors. We favor the expos we desire to see Calif: sources and products prop: abundantly represented zmong the ex- hibits, an | we are glad for Omaha’s sake that the affair has been nationalized; but in this latter regard we want to enteran emphatic protest against the too frequent action of Congress “‘suspending the im- migration and Chinese exclusion acts so as 10 perm:t foreign labor to take charge of foreign exhibits.’’ Last year we had the exposition at At- lanta; that was nationalized and the ex- clusion laws were suspended. A thousand or more of the sons of Asia landed in this country on the strength of the privilega thus conferred. When they once got into this country they stayed. This year the exposition at Nashville, Tenn., obtained a similar suspension of the exciusion laws and another host of Mongolians swapt in. Next year comes the Omaha Exposition and with it another small army of coolies will come. Will they go back whence they came when the b'g fair closes? They #ill plant themselves in this country just as their vredecessors dia and will enter business here and run out more white abor by more Chinese cheap labor. Suspending the exclusion act every time an exposition is held anywhere in this country may not seem 1o be a very threatening proposition to our Eastern brethren, The majority perhaps are not sufficiently well acquainted with Chines ways to enable them to form a judgment in the premises. There are any number of reliable sources of information, how- ever, from which they might learn that American men and women, boys and gizls who are forced to toil for their daily bread cannot compete the fistd of labor with coolies who subsist on rice aud rats and who flourish on a nickel a dav. We have had only about ona exposition ayearso far. Before long we may have two Or turee in a year, and, as this country is a very broad one, it is possible we may see two or three at a time, orone a manth. Foreign immigration, the Asiatic in par- ticular, would thereby experience a con- tinuous boom. Theexclusion law becomes a farce under the circumstances, and we could hardly invite evil on a larger scale if the bars were thrown down altogether. Chinese cheap labor has wrought evil enovgh in the West. The cooliss who come here by the thousand, *“under sus- pension of the exclusion act,” are slave- laborers of the Orient. Tae supply of American white labor still very largely exceeds the demand. We want to make times better for American labor. We are esger for the time when supp'y and de- mand of white labor shall be equal. We exp:ct our industries sooa to assume greater life than ever before in our Na- tional histor! But with the retu of busy times our Congress can ill afford to curtail white men’s chances by suspen- { sions of the exclusion act, which means more Chinese slave-labor 1o bid down the American wage-market. If we cannot nave exhibits from Western Asia without paying the dear prics of letting into this country a couple of shiploads of those yellow-skinned serfs forevery exnibit, then the O-iental exhibit feature oughtto be dropped. It behooves our representatives in Congress to t the end that the necessity for suspending the exclusion act for the objects of any exposition may cease o exist. THE MIS 10N FARK, The residents of the Mission are unani- mous in the demand for a public park in their rapidly growing and important dise trict. They are certainly entitled to such an improvement, ard the Board of Super- visors will only be performng its duty in providing the desired resting and breath- ing place. The original suggestion was for a park and zoological garden, bt some opposition has arisen to the latter propo- | sition. It strikes us that it would not be a bad scheme for the City to comply with the demand for a biz park in the Mission dis- trict or close thereto, and grant space in the park for a zoological museum, if pri- | vate enterprise in the Mission desires to establish and maintain it. The arzuments in favor of various small | parks on the one hand and of one large park and *“the Zoo” on the other, before the Board of Supervisors Thursday, were inieresting. One individua!, for instance, opined that breaches cut into the dis- tricts along Jessie and Tehama streets, to make oases of sunlight and air, would te blessings beyond compare; but as such things were hardly possible of sccomplish- ment the Uity mizht purchase the two blocks composing the old Hebrew Ceme- tery, and thus partially, at least, conform 10 a common desire and necessity. Another deciared that the gores formed by the intersection of streets, being illy adapted for building-,should be turned into so many small parks—breathing spots—as was done in numerous cities of the East; while others still fuvored “The Zoo” project in connection with a big park. The zoological garden was not deemed a luxury, but & necessity, and one such as was contemplated would attract visitors to San Franc sco from all parts of the country. The Mission people want a park, how- ever, and they should bLave it. If they generally favor a park they should have a big park, and we would like to see “‘breathing spots,”” in addition, in the midst of the tenement district. THE NEW EXCELSIOR. Little dil the ambitious young Prince Luigi of Italy imagine, when he tarried in this City a few davs ago, before setting out with his famous Alpine guides, de- termined to bear the standard of Savoy to heights that mortals never yet have reached on icy Mount St. Elias—little dia he imagine that he had unconsclously flung a challenge down, and that Ameri- can nerve and grit and patriotic pride and spirit would operate to deprive him of his anticipated glory. Even while the nephew of Humbert dallied, the sons of Columbia had struck out to prepare him a charac- teristic Yankee reception at the summit of that awe-inspiring mountain in the land of the auror: The word is flashed to us that already Henry G. Bryant of Phiiadelphia, with a party of five, has arrived at Yakotat, which 1s at the base of Mount St. Elias. They will begin the ascent without delay. Prince Luizi bas nai experience in mountain-climping in Switzsrland and Italy, but Bryant of Philadeiphia is not a novice. The race is enough to arouse a ponular interest. Not that there is a par- ticle of doubt about the outcome—the American is bound to win; but that very ceitainty shou!d send a thrill of joy through the country, whica will wait with eagerness to hear the story of suc- cess of the new Exceisior. Bryant has seen the porthern icy wastes before. Asfar back as 1891 he headed a party of explorers in Labrador, and in 1894 he gained prominence as a member and do something to | of the Peary reliet expedition, Heis fa- miliar with the game he is playing. There are two members of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps in his orave little band. The Prince will be sorely disappointed when he scales Mount St. Elias with the 1talian flag in his hand to discover that the American has climbed the mountain abead of him and plantel on its summit —the first emblem of any nation to wave from such an altitude—the matchless ban- ner of the stars and stripes. GREATER OAKLAND. There is jov in Qaklang over the result of the annexation election, the effect of which will be to augment the population of the city across the bay by nearly 12,000 and to add about $6,000,000 to her assessed valuation. It means much for Oakland and more for the suburbs whicn were annexed. It is certainly a move- ment in the right direction. The suburban villages that clustered about Chicago discovered early the mani- fold advantages of uniting with the greater agsregation of people under one munici- pal gnvernment. Greater Now York isan example of the trend toward the centrali- zation of interests, which practically amounts to co-operation on a scale of great magnitude. In fact, this idea of co- operation is permeating both public and private enterprise, In the coming century co-operation will be one of the reizning principles through- out the civilized world. All the indica- tions point that way. In our own Btate, we observe that orchardists have found that their profits are largely increased through a system of co-operation; the grape-growers are combining with asimilar object in view; the merchants and mechanies form associations or unions for mutual protection in their respective spheres; and in all tradesand occupations the same spirit seems to prevail—the spirit of co-operation. In & broad form this principle appears when the suburban towns petition to be taken under the wing of the big municipal corporation. And what are the advantages? Letus see. The suburban towns cannot afford, each with its smail population, to buila proper systems of sewers and the public health in each of those places suffers in consequence. The water supply is limited and they have not sufficient protection against fire, Their streets are in need of improvement and extension, but the small population- cannot provide for thess things with the means at their command. And then they lack a desirable system of | street lights, and, not by any means the least, police protection, United with the great city in one cor- poration the suburba share all the genera benefits. Their oid fashioned streets are paved and new streets laid out; their local- ity is well lighted at night, and patrolling policemen render their Lomes and per- sons safer; breaches of the peace are fewer; the water extended to them, and an effizient paid Fire Department is at their service; good sewers are put in, removing menaces to bealth—all *hese benefits proceeding from the consolidation of interests in the big municipality. When compared with the benefits, which are inestimaole, the addi- tional cost is immaterial. Tke property ues double and grow continuously Oakland is to be congratulated on her new accession of populaiion, not to men- tion the dowry. Other ecities with exten- sive suburbs here in the State of Califor- nia would do well to follow Oakland’s example. Los Angeles is one of them ; San Jose is anotner. INVITE McRINLEY. According to recent reports from Wash- ington it is expected Congress wiil ad- journ early in July, and in that case it is said the President will make a trip to the West and be at Salt Lske City July 28. It is added that he has not yetdetermined where he will spsnd the sun mer, and that he may decide at Salt Lake upon an extension of his trip wes ward, 50 as to include California. It is well understood that at present af- fairs in Washineton are so uncertain that a fixed programme for ths summer could not be arrangsd by the President. The reports of his plans are therefore to be taken with a considerable allowance for future changes. It is fair to assume, how- ever, that if he can undertake a Western trip he will gladlv do so, f r he likes to travel and meet the people; he hss made many tours throuzh the East and North, has been south as far as New Orleans, and naturally must have a desire tos-e this side of the continent. This being the condition of the affairs o the President this summer, it would cer- tainly be worth our while to reques: him through our delegation in Congress to come to Caitfornia for tte holidays. He has inducements to come as far as Utah, and from that point it would be compara- | tively easy for him to reach the Pacific Coast. He wiil see here about the only large section of the Union be has not yet visited, and for that reason the trip will | doubtless be as attractive to him as his i coming would be to us. Next summer there is to be a great ex- position at Omaha, and the President will be expected there, so that his leisure for 1808 will probably be largeiy occupied in | the Mississippi Valley States, Clearly therefore, we should bring him to the P; cific Coast this sumiaer if we can. It will at any rate be no trouble to give him the invitation. We are to have Bryan; why not have McKinley ? THE IMPROV NG OUTLOOX Lewis:on Journal, There is no doubt that, considering the de- cline in vaiues, the quantities of goods now being handled is not abnormally small. See- retary of the Treasury Gage has made this fact prominent in analyzing the present coudition of industry. While speculation fs inactive, the handiing of products is large. For ex- ample, while prices are 16 per cent smaller than in 1892, the volume of business is but 10 per cent less, showing that what we call bad times differ from good times more in the de- cline of investment and new enterprise than in decline in the consumption of products, though that deciine is real, taking into ac count the increase of population and the nor- mal demaud of each year for a higher civiliza- tion, Toe earnings of railroads are baiter than last year. This fact has led 1o an ad- e of 25 cents to $1 per share in stocks. It 18 certain that domesiic investments in for- eign goods will be small for the next year, as there is 60 per cent increase in stocks now heid. This inct will figure favorab.y in the coming balance of trade THE HEN, 1uE COW AND THE FIN&NCIER Cfflcago Times-Herald. It is said that the hen saved Nebraska when the hot wiuds spoiled the grain. The hen and the cow are saving the people of a large part of Kansas apd Okiahoma—for even in the terri. iory is seen the procession of milk-can-laden wagons. The little towns of this section that have their creamery station and iheir egg- buyer are the happiest. In one little town of western Kansas on a recent Saturday 100,000 €EEs were ken in on a single day, and the county seut towns send ont & million eges week in several instances. The care of the hen and the cow is iargely in the hands of the farmers’ wives, and it is to them that is due credit for bringing into the family cashbox +ome resources when the 'iege iord was down ©u the corner talking “leenance.” tem of the big city is | | | A RICH ISSUE.

A MOTOR THAT HAS REVOLUTIONIZED SHIP PROFULSION. At the recent conference of civil enginee , held in London, much interest was manifested in the description given by the Hon. Charles Algernon Parsons of the new compound steam turbine. This form of rotary motor, according to the Daily Graphic, is likely to effect as great a revolution paddie-wheels. in Mr. Parsons, in the electrici applied to dynamos with economy and reduction of wear aud tear. i's application to ship propulsion a: did the screw when it superseded section, showed how turbines could be Later on, in the ship- ty building section, he expained at greater lengih the advantages of the turbine when utilizeq for propeiling a ship. The le of the compound steam turbinesis that a series of turbines is set one after the other on the same axis, so that each turbine takes steam from the preceding one and passes it on to the succeeding one. The turbine has & special advantage over ordinary engines, because of the exira economy in steam which 1s realized, and, together with the THE TURBINIA, THE FASTEST CRAFT AFLO. higher speed of revolation, the weight of the engines, in proportion to & given horsepower, as | weil as of the shafting and propellers, is diminished. It the system is applied to the torpedo- boat or torpedo-boat destroyer it is estimated that the total weight of machinery would hardly exceed onc-third that of ordinary engiues of the same power. r. Parsons claimed further that, the space occupied by the turbines is much less than that occupied by ordinary engines, the capacity and stability of the vessel are increased—a fact of great importance in war vesscls—as the machinery is placed almost wholly below the | water line. As vioration is also almost entirely comfort not hizherto atieinable, wuile guns and with grear turbine enging Parsons be. torpedo-destroy is the fastest Her speed absent fast’ vessels may recoive a degree of torp2does for tha same reason may be worked ease and accuracy.

In a less degree, of course,a relative higher speed will also be realizable by the use of the turbine in all ciasses of passenger vessels.

DELAYED FREE MARKET. *‘The farmers are impatient,’ according to the report made by THE CALL of the meeting of the San Francisco Farmers' Club in the assem- bly room of the Mechanics’ Library building a few evenings since, because of the apparent delay of the Harbor Commissioners in open- ing the free market, and it appears that a reso- lution was offered by Colonel D:nicke, and passed by a large majority vote &s the sense of the meetiug that the commissioners should proceed with this imporian: business in obe- | wience to the duty imposed upon them by the lawmakers of the State. There was decided opposition to the adop- ti0n of this resoiution, however, by three or four gentlemen, on the ground that the City Farmers' Club had now voluntarily under- taken to gather faformation from all available sources &« 10 the nature and requirements of a free market to be established iu conformity with the law creating it, and also as to the obstacles in the way of establishing such a market; that much valuable information had been obtained which had been iaid bofore the club at that meeting in the several papers read, requiring an hour and a half for the reading of them; that these papers had been referred to a committee of five, according to a resolution adopted before 1ne papers were read, and thi mittce was to digest these pepersand devise some definite plan for the | market 10 besubmiited 10 an adjourned meet- ing 1o be held two weeks later for considera- tion and adopticn; that thereafier it was to be presented to the Harbor Commissioners by a | comumittee represen.ing the various farmers’ orguuizations clothed with power 1o sct, which authority was to be obtained as soon as possible from these farmers’ organizations, the assurance being given by these geutlemen op- posing the resolution that the Commissioners were favorable 1o the {ree market and were enurely willing to go on with the work of es- tablisuing suca a market as soon as tho farm- ers would make known what they wanted and the obstacles :n the way could be removed.

The French Min- ister had called on the President on some minor dipiomatic matter and made use of the expression, “Je vous le demande.” Jackson had the broadest and most comprehensive of minds, but was not a French scholar, The word “demande, ’ however, caused }im to leap out of his chair and grit his teeth.
