The eagle screams to-morrow. The Endeavorers and their friends are welcome. We are truly a star-spangled community ihis time. We ought to have made preparations to tuke a census. San Francisco wears the purple as if she were born in it Soldiers,” “Onward, Christian and *Hail Columbia!” Our visitors will find this to be the best summer city th Mr. Bryan is welcome to California with the rest. The more the merrier. Patriotism ard hospitality make a com- bination which produce enihusiasm every time. Rest, refresh and recreate yourself to- day, for you will have to hustle every day of the coming week. The Senate did not finish the taritf bill in time for the Fourth, but it will be all right for Thanksgiving. We are now going to realize what Mr. Conkling picturesquely described as “‘a hailcyon and vociferous time.” We shall now show the country how well and properly we could receive and entertain a Presidential convention. The pessimist may stay in town, but he will bave to get rid of his pessimism if he wisnes to be in harmony with the crowd. It is scarcely necessary to inform the visitors they are expected to say some- thing about our climdte and say it fre- quantly. Before Independence day comes again we would be zlad to havea free Cuba to unite in the celebration, and the thing is probable, Sy e It will take something of a Christian endeavor on the part of everybody to get through the crowded streets this week without wishing to swear. The small boy will celebrate a little to-day just to get his hand in for the bigger celebration to-morrow, provided he doesn’t damage it in the practice. Though the last election showed that California is a part of what Bryran calied ‘‘the enemy’s country,” he will get a hearty welcome if he treats us as Pacificos, During the fiscal year 1896 the exports of bicycles from this country amounted in value to less than $2000,000, but the ex- ports this year will approximate to $6,000,- ©€00. It is ascorching trade, and no mis- take. e A It has leaked out that the jubilee por. trait of the Queen publisned in the Lon- don Times was “‘made in Germany,” and now Berlin smiles, while the Britisn pub- lic emits the first growl of the jubilee season. It 1s said that Americans who went to London to Leip the Queen hold her jubi- lee will on their return introduce the fashion of serving soup for breakfast. Tie fad is immensely popular in England, and all the swell breakfast parties of the festal week adopted it. The most popular souvenirs of the re. cent festival in London are sald to have been jubilee jugs, but of course they wouldn’t be appropriate for the young people of the Christian Endeavor Conven- tion; so for our souvenirs we shall have to stick to the old-fashioned spoon. The success of Western Republicans in getting increased duties on wool has led some Eastern folks 1o refer to us as the woolly West with more unction than ever, ‘We have no complaint to make, however, Jor since we got the duty on the substance it is our duty to stand the name. The staterent of the Rev. Dr. Burrows of Chicago thst *‘by the time two centu- ries have passed the center of the universe will be on the southwest shores of Lake Michigan’’ is altogether too modest. We expect the center of things to have moved as far West as San Francisco before that time. The crusade against strest noises has been carried on in Rochester, N. Y., with nousuel vigor. The police have been in- structed to stop not only the shouting of peddlers and hucksters during the week but the cry of newsboys on Sundays. 1t is a quiet town now, bnt the people like it better. A e SR There has just been revived in St. Louis an old ordinance which provides that any man who does not support his wife may be sold at anction for six months’ service, e money to go to the wife. It is pro- posed to try it on several loafers zround town, and it is said the very threat has caused a few of them to go to work. WELCOME, CHRISTIL AN ENDEAVORERS. San Francisco delights to weicome the myriad hostof Christian Endeavorers who come “with the voice of joy and praise " to keep holiday beside the Golden Gate. P The international convention of the great organization in 1897 will be memorable in the annals of tke City. The vast arm ies which are coming bither from North, East and South, under banners of purple and gold, will constitute a grand and impressive spectacle when they mingle together by the shore of the Balboa Sea. When the streets of the City are thr onged with wearers of the colors of the peaceful invaders there will be ample inspiration for the Christian to raise his voice fittingly with David, the Psatmist, as he sings, **The earth 1s the Lord’s, and the full- ness thereof; the world and they that dw the seas ana established it upon the floods. The Society of Christian Endeavor ell therein; for He hath founded it upon is young, but of wonderful growth. Its oranches have extended to the farthest reaches of the land, and to lands beyond the oceans, and it flourishes to-day as *'a tree planted by the rivers ot waters.”” The Endeavorers, let it be said, are abreast of the times, active, intelligent, pro- grossive, praising Him with works of material as They believe in worshiping Providence with smiling countenances and well as spiritual benefit to mankind. In the coming week of jubilee, ‘‘with stringed instruments and-organs, with horn and trumpet, narp and psaltery,” and thounsand Ruler of the Universe, that he may ‘“‘crown voiced choirs, they will glorify the Benign the year with goodness,”’ and *“all his paths drop fatness”; that the fatness may ‘‘drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, wheresoever they spread, till “'the little hills rejoice on every side’”; till *‘the pas- tures are clothed with flocks,” ‘‘the valle “shout for joy and sing.” The people of San Francisco have done ys coverea with corn” and the millions their duty worthily, both in providing the convention fund and in decorating their homes and business houses in a manner appropriate to the extraordinary occasions of the coming week. The visitors will find the old-fishioned California hospitality awaiting them. We have flung the gates wide open on every side. To the fruits of this sunny clime—purple and golden—fair to ses and pleasure rare to taste—our guests are inv ited to flock in and help themselves. The badge of the Endeavor Society will be “open sesame’ throughout the City. Even the “trip through Chinatown” may be made by the strangers without any expense; the nccessary guide service being volunteered by the Christian Chinese of the evangelical missions, Weicome, and thrice welcome, to the Endeavorers! with the prospect which will be opened to t And may they be so charmed heir vision in this land of milk and honey that they will want to come again and stay longer—stay a lifetime, as near as they can, where they may enjoy the most salubrious climate under the blue canopy of heaven, and where they may rest serene the perfume of flowers and be able to say *‘Verily are the lines fallen to us in pleasan under fiz and orange tree, breathe ever truly, in the langunage of the Scriptures, t places.” THE SUPPRESSION OF VICE. There will be no little gratification to the people of San Francisco in learning that the secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice has underiaken the prorecution of the man and woman whose violation of the marriage laws of the State and defiance of the morals of society has been the sensational scandal of the week. Such offenses are at all times bad, but in this case the evil has been augmented by the shameless nudacity with which the | guilty parties have paraded themselves before the public as if for the very pur- pose of insulting decency and making a mockery of virtue, The case will not be a pleasant one to prosecute. It will not be cgreeable to the public to have the depravities of this man and woman expanded at full length be- | fore the courts and paraded daily by the | press so long as the trial continues. | Nevertheless this duty, unpleasant and | disagreeable, must be undertaken. So-| ciety must protect itself from the open | flaunting of trazen vice. Itisnot to be | tolerated that those who scorn the most sacred obligations of life and who cmy" on an aduiterous intercourse with an ostentations indifference to public opin- ion and of law shall be permitted togo | unwhipped of justice. i Society is founded upon the obiigations | of married life. If the laws which regulate these obligations can be violated with | impunity, then there is no longer any security for the family or the home. This truth has been recognized among the people of all lands and of all ages. The! aduiterer has been everywhere regarded as the enemy of society, and the natural law of man justifiesthe husband whoslays | him as he would a serpent that had entered his house. | It is for the protection of society that | the prosecution of this case is under- | taken. Itisfor the purpose of showing vice that it cannot dely the moral senti- ment and the law of Calilornia with Im- | punity. Itisto guard the homes of our State from the degrading influences that | emanate from such open and shameless scanda Itis an undertaking in which society has a deep concern, and it is to be hoped the prosecution will be pushed vig- orously and result in such punishment of this Lothario and his paramou: as will be a warning to all of their kind to mend their ways or fly from Calilornia before their depravity is discovered. HON. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. This distinguished son of Nebraska, famed from Maine to Califcrnia for his rare gift of elcquence, is once again the guest of the peonle of ihis State. We all admire men of commanding talent and intellect, and we all love to listen to the music of the voice of oratory. Hence we | bespenk for Hon, Wiliiam Jennings Bryan a hearty, coraial reception in every part of the Golden State whereto his appointe monts may take him, He comes at a season of bountiful pros- vects, among a people fuil of high hope lor a long era of prosperity, He comes at a time when from the four corners of the Nation are gatheriug here a great many people who know him, as we do, largely through the celebrity he achieved as a candidate for the r:ost exalted office of the American Republi Californians, without regard to party affiliations, will treat him with every favor cusiomarily bestowed upon visitors of National reputation and prominence, He comes ata time when politics have ceased 1o ruffle the surface of ordinary affairs and when the country is resting in the normal calm of peace. He comes, furthermore, in the midst of joyful holi- days. The people will be well prepared for speeches of an optimistic turn, and Mr. Bryan is too sagacious not to look around him with inquiring eyes and observe the trend of popular feeling. His ability asa rhetorical speaker is admitted and will be appreciated, and we trust that when he finally departs from among us on his homeward way he will take with him only the most pleasurable recollections of a sojourn replete with good feeling ana of that applause which is most delectable food for the soul of the orator. The citizens of California are as liberal as citizens anywhere. The campaign of 1895 has gone into history and their serenity will hardly be disturbed by any rehearsal of a conflict of the past. They are looking to a future spanned by the bow of hope. They are fully satisfied with the rezults of last November. 1t is hardly possible that Mr. Bryan will overlook the favorable conditions on the Pacific Siope to the exteut of permit- ting any note of calamity to mar his dis- courses and thus lessen the enthusiasm whick otherwise will wait upon his elo- quence. Let politics be cast aside and let him be given a Western greeting that will cheer the cockles of his heart. The latest Eastern novelty is a stove which, when filled with ice and salt, cools the room in the summer time and makes the burning East a fairly habitable coun- try for half the year. THE NERVOUS AMERICAN NATION Paolo Mantegazza, a well-known Italian author and scientist, has written a vol- ume bearing the title “L'Anno 3000,” in which he turns his imagination loose to paint a picture of what the world will be, according to his idea, eleven hundred years from the close of the present cen- tury. Our readers may 2« well prepare for the worst. They can easily stand being told that the airship will be the common mode of travel; that one universal language will be spoken; that the great Sahara Desert will be transformed into an ocean; that woman will be granted all the rights she demands and still will not be satis- fied; that the world metropolis will be | found at the foot of the Himalayas in India; and thatall the countries of the world, after trving socialism for three or four centuries, will be formed into one lar:e union, each country having the right to rule itself as it pleases. They can read al! that without the quiver of an éye. They may not be moved by any emotion when they learn that in the ideal city soldiers, judges, nolice, doctors, servants and every other kind of social nuisance will be abolished, and that heat, light, condensed food and drink will be supplied from a central sta- tion. They may smile aporoval on the idea that actors who are famed to be so bad as to be incapable of improvement wil be pensioned by the people on condi- tion that they will never venture on the stage again. 1tis nothing to be told that all political and customs boundaries will be abolished ; but right on the eve of the Glorious Fourth, with all our flags flapping in the breeze, guns booming, people shouting, bands playing, it seems like “the most unkindest cut of all” for Signor Mante- gazza to have put into the month of his Lero, living in the year 3000, the declara- tion that ‘‘the country known as the United Stetes of America does not exist, having become a vast desert, its people having died from a goneral plague of nervousness brought on by constant po- litical excitement.” ‘T'here is one nope laft, however, and we should immediately begin the conscien- tious cultivation of the lost art of keep- ing perfectly calm and cool, fres from all nervous agitation, uander every possible condition, and in case we find a possible condition that is absolutely incomvatible with coolness and calmness, we will have to abolish that condition with dispatch. We have got to eat and sleep with clock- work regularity; eschew mince pies; quit smoking brown-paper cigars; swear off politics entirely — stop celeb — What! never! We're going to make the welkin ring on the Fourth of July 1f it agitates every blessed nerve in the country. We decline to be frightened, Signor Man- tegezza, If you were any kina of prophet you would tell us that in the year 3000, at this time of the seventh month, Uncle Sam will have gula day all the way trom the north pole down *o the toe of Pata- gonia, and that the eagie will soar higher and scream louder and tiap her wings more enthusiastically than ever—Ior the reason that this is God’s country and agi- tation only serves to make us, like the ocean, everlastingly fresher and grander. AMIRICAN LOYALTY, While the formal celebration of Inde- pendence day is by common consent post- poned until to-morrow the American peopls will not overlook the fact that this 1s the anniversary of the day of the great declaration and their thoughts will tend naturally to patriotic subjects. These thoughts will be pleasant ones, for itis doubtful if ever before in our history the true patriot had better cause to be satis- fied with the existing condition of politics or better reasons to be hopefnl of the future. The formation of the American Unlon out of the original colonies of Great Britain in this country was a difficult one. 1i required the utmost exertion of the full strength of even such great men as Wash- ington, Jefferson, Adams and Hamilton to accomplish it. When the Union was formed a stiil more difficult labor re- mained for those who were intrusted with the task of welding it together by trans- forming widely scattered peoples into an indivisible nation. It is easier to unite countries than to unite their inhabitants. Great Britain formed a union with Ireland long ago, but none of her statesmen have ever yet succeeded in animating the Irish people with a sense of British nationality. In our country the development of the National tnstinct was slow. Itis doubtful il we ever had a genuine National patriot- ism amung all classes of people even in the Northern States until the Civil War brought it into existence and consecrated it by the blovd of the brave. The war made the Nation, but it did not create a National loyaity in the South, and the Union therefore was still imperfect even after it had triumphed with Grant and the victory had been sealed with the martyrdom of Lincoln. It has been left to our generation to make the National idea truly National and accepted everywhere from the lakes to the gulf. For years sectionalism has remained in politics despite the results of the war. There were economic differ- ences potween Nor.h and South which gave them different policies and infused among their people different National as- pirations. The BSouth demanded free trade, the North demanded protection, and as a result our politics has been dominated by sectional parties since the Oivil War almost as completely as be- fore it. It is the chief glory of our time that this last remnant of sectionalism has passed away. The South is becoming a country of diversitied industry and her peoble are boginning to understand the advantages of protection. That much is made clear by the votes of Southern members of Congress on the tariff bill now under discussion. North and South therefore have developed a common patriotism by developing 8 common in- terest, There will be differences between parties hereafter, but they will not be sectional differences. American loyalty was never S0 strong nor so universal as it is to-day. We therefore havs good reason to rejoice and to exult as pacriots in making our preparations for the grand celebration of Independence day ti-morro We bave not only established a Union, but we have made a Nation MILITARY POW:R OF JAPAN. The successful termination of the war with China together with the marked disproportion in territory and numbers of the combatants, drew public attention forcibly to the mew military power in the fer East. For some time opinioss were treely ex- pressed that Japan would prove a serious menace 10 the European powers and projects in the East. Aithough such views have now been proven to be premature, from present in- dications the “England of the East” is quite prepared to take her place as one of the mili- tary powers. Side by side with the most re. markable development of industries and mer- chant marine that the present century has witnessed we now behold a corresponding de- velopment of Japan's military anda naval strength. Biiefly, the results of the war were to ex- pose the weakness snd corruption of the Chinese empire, to exhibit Japan as & civil- jzed power and military factor of first-rate importance in the far East, ana to give her a commanding posi‘ion and interest in the fairs of Korea. The acquisition of Formosa also offers an outlet for tue supeifluous popu- lation. The war has also develored an an- tagonism between Japan and Russia which may be considered as & permanent and most importaat factor in Eastern polities. With Russia stretching out for a deep-water termi- nus for her traus-Siberian railway, and the prestige of England distinctly threatened, the political horizon is yet far from clear. China, with her millions of pevulation, is no longer regarded as a military factor of any importance in the problem, but rather as a country to be divided in the struggle for em- vire. The parallel to India before the con- quest is in mest respeets striking. To sustain her new position Japan has a standing army of 73,000 officers and men. According to the adopted prozramme these numbers are to be gradua!ly increased during the next ten years, so that in 1906 she will have an army of 144,070, composed of 6370 officers, 14 887 non-commissioned officers and 122,313 rank and file. If tothese be added the reserves and landwehr the army iu 1906 will number over a half million men. This force will be maintained at a cost which to us appears ridiculovs, but when the lower scale of wages and suj piies ot ail kinas in Japan is constdered the relative cost is more neerly that incurred by Western nations. 1n any estimate of Japan’s military strength not only numbers merely but the qualities of the nation’s soldiers must be taken fully into account. In matters of organization ber army has little to learn, but whether it could stand up before the well-disciplined and ably led troops of Eurove remains to be seen. On this point but little can be learned irom the results | of the Chinese-Japanese war. The Japanese scldier has bsen proven to possess discipiine, perseverance and great endurance, but his fighting qualities aud the capacity of the Jap- | aneso officers for command have not, it must be admitted, been put to a very severe test. Thus, in the campaign of Port Arthur re- sulting in the nihilation of the Chinese army and the capture of one of the strongest fortresses in the world, the Japanese lost only about 45 kiiled and 350 wounded. Com- pared to the losses of even a single battle in our Civil War, these figures appear so ridicu- lous that they can be explained only by the well-known fact that the resistance offered by the Chinese was of the most contemptible nature, At present Japan can easily put into the fieid seven thoroughly effective divisions of 14,000 each, so that she can mobiiize a well- equipped, modern army of 100,000 men, ex- ciusive of the reserves and others kept be- hind for garrison duty. In most respects, it will be noticed, Japan’s military position is similar to that of England. No matter how efficient may be Japan's army it will be of litile use outside the Mikado's dominions unless she has command of the sea. This fact was illustrated in the recent war by the timid strategy on the part of the Japanese previous to the destruction of the Chinese fieet. These facts ar well under- stood in Japan that, side by side with the up- building of her army, she is putting forth great efforts to become a great naval power. Evidentiy this is the key of the *ituation in the East. While it is extremely doubtful whether Japan can control the sea unaided, certain it is that she could if she could suc- oeed in forming an alllance with some naval power like Great Britain. While apparently Great Britain’s interests will suffer by the growth of Japan, still an English-Japanese alliance is not beyond the bounds of possibility, and if for noithing but to check Russi: MEN AND WOMEN.

The people of Savannah want to have a be. lated celebration in their city next year of the bicentennial of the birth of General James Eaward Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony of Georgia. They urge that all the thirteen original States shou)d take part, and think Cong hould appropriate money to defray at least a part of the expense. Ex-Senator Peffor of Kansas has evolved a solution all by himself of one transportation problem. He would have freight carried like the malls, at one rate by weight, regardless of the distance. He contends that this would re- move all ciseriminations and be just to all, putting the farmers in remote districts on an e’qllllily with those in more accessible locali- ties. Mrs. Ella H.

A FERRY RUN BY CABLE, A cab'e railway across an arm of the sea is now proposed for the permanent connection of the seashore resor. on the island of Nor- derney, in the North Sea, with the mainland. The conditions of communieation between Norderney and the coast are at present very poor; the shallow water permits bost traffic only during high tide and in the daytime— that is, but once in twenty-four hours, and the trip from the seaports to Norderney by sea- going poats is uninteresting and tedious. The bottom of the inlet between the islana and the shore is rather solid, and at lowest ebb tide the so-called ‘‘Watt Post,’" a mail coach, 1s driven across every day during thesum- mer. To getan easier and more regular railroad connection has for a long time been cne of the main objects of this most thriving of all Ger- man seashore resorts, and the proj ¢t now un- der consideration, which is the invention of olghth year of 1ix career in its new home, er J.

Enginecr Ph. Schrimpff, wiil very likely be accepted. Itisa cabls ferry, which is to travel back and forth, irrespective of the tides and time of day. 1t will be built across the nar- rowest purt of the inlet, which is two and oue- third miles wide at that point. The cable will be securely anchored at each end, and the ferry will have a steam engine, which will pro- pel it along the line of the cable. The wheels are eight in number, and of a peculiar con- struction. They are almost ten feet wide, but in order notto offcr too much resistance to the water each wheel is divided into nine sections, all upon a common axie. As the surface of the bottom may be irregular a certain margin is rovided for the whee:s to give, and 10 con- orm as mcch as possible to the lormation of the ground. Sufficient stability is provided by placing the ‘wheels well apart, and the platform of the car being eightee . feet above the bottom there is no danger of shipping water at any time. This platform is 54 ieet long by 42 feet wide, and is sufficient to accommodate 200 vassengers aud their bagzage, besides the machinery and the crew. There are iwo £aloans on this deck and additional room on the promenade deck above, The twocylinder engine will develop 200-horsepower, and has a tubuler boiler, The diameter of the wire cable will be 135 nches. The totsl weight of the ferry will be {l)J tons, and with s full load 125 tons. It will iravel at a speed of but four miles an hour. This ferry wiil be connected with the railway at Hage bya special branch of five miles, and another line, probably an electric trolley, will be buiit across the island to the shore on the other s.de. With all these addi- tions and a doubie ferry line the total cost is estimated at but $250,000. As Norderney is a very imporiant seasids resort it is expected that the work upon this connection will be started without delay. PERSONAL. D. J. Bousfie'd of Mohave is the City.
