Orders given to the carrier or left at Business Office will receive prompl attention. NO EXTKA CHARGE. Fifiy cents per monih for summer months. A great day for the churches. The Endeavorers will not take a rest. Ourvisitors are making us prouder than ever of our Losoitality. There should be a general prayer for a sveedy enactment of the tariff. The homes into which Weyler rounds up the pacificos are hardly better than so many slaughter-houses. The only powers in Europe just now are t'e Turk and the concert, and the Turk seems to be the stronger of the two. Now that it seems certain Weyler is to return to Spain people will begin to regret that he is not to end 1is life in Cuba. The convention is cosmopolitan, but so is the City. San Franc'sco can under- stand any language the Endeavorers can 1alk, Nature in the Ea-t has tempered the weather to the coal-miners’ strike by a series of hot waves that kcep the furnaces warm. Our visitors will take notice they can | hold open-air meetings at midday in this | City without being reminded of the heat of hades. . When Bryan returns home he will tell | his friends confidentially that during his California trip he just a littie bit overdid the thing. Although the new tarifi has not vet| been finally agreed upon the free-traders are already declaring it to be the worst they ever saw. It is gratifying to know the Super visors will take care of Balboa avenue and keep it 1n good shape for extension when the right time comes. Salisbury reasoned with the Sultan, the Czar cozxed him, the Kais-r remonstrated with him, the Kmperor of Austria warned him, and still he sticks. The Philadelphia Record seriously un- dertook to console the people of that city recently by reminding them that the weather is hotter in Persia. | We may still mnsist that California girls are the best, but the visitors to the conven- tion show that every tection of the Union Zas a right to brag on its own. With six State tickets in the field, every one of them agreeing 10 make it a money campaign, the Ohio citizen counts on a profitable season this fall, no matter how the crops go. In spite of the torrid waves which sweep the East from the Mississippt to the ocean, there are still many localities there with sufficient frozen cheek left to adver- tise themselves as summer resorts. The Christian Endeavorers should not content themselves with seeing the sights of San Francisco during their stay in Culifornia. Onr local attractions, of course, are good, but there are others. The proceedings of the miners’ conven- tion at Denver emphasize the need of a Department of Mines and Mining in the National Government and the movement 10 obtain one should bte pushed along. The movement in Los Angeles to hold a State Silver Republican conyention is a good enough proof that she is still ener- getic, but it would be better for her to use her energy in business, and et politics rest for awhile. The Yiouse of Representatives has not been much in evidence during this ses. sion, but in the promptness with which it dealt with the tariff bill it has doae better business than any other Congress in an equal length of time, Now that some Ohio burglars have burned out the combination lock of a bank safe by electricity, which they obtained by tapping a trolley wire, there will be no longer any dispute about the ability of streetcar companies to rob the public in a variety of ways. London may have to spend all the money she made out of the jubilee in pay- ing taxes to deiray the costoi suppressing the discontent the festival caused in India. This is the way the whirligig of time vrings about his revenges and keeps money in circula The men and women who had churge of the task of arranging for the big conven- tion deserve the highest commendation for the success with which they periormed jt. Their work reflects creait on Ban Francisco as well as on themselves, and we therefore have good reasons for prais- ing them. el As many of the Eastern papers are re- minding the peopie of that section that it is time to be making preparations for a grand Awmerican exhibit at the Paris Ex- position, Californians had better be get- ting ready also. When our sisterhood of Btates goes abroad we must bhave a front place in the procession and look justas pretty as any of them. THE BLUNDER OF BUDD. It is becoming apparent that the action | of the Governor in vetoing the abpropria- tion for the State Printing Office has in- volved the S ate in many difficulties, which will require no little ingenuity to evade or overcome. The action of the Gevernor was in fact a blunder of gzreat magnitude, and the full extent of it has hardly been realized by the people. ‘We have called attention to the tangle in which the schoolteachers are involved by reason of the faci thet the State Print- ing Office cannot furnish them with reeis- ters which under the law they are re- quired to keep, and that 1s but one of the many complications resulting from the blunder of the Governor in depriving the State Printer of the means for performing the work which the law requires of his office. In aadition to the registers needed for the schools a large number of blarks are required by the various departments of the State Government. These the State Printing Office will not be able to furnish, nor will it be able to publish for the de- partments the reports which each is re- quired to make and to keep on file. The lack of means for providing these blanks and printing these repcrts entails an in- jury which will not ba made fully evident until about the time of the meeting of the next Legislature, but it will be then felt, seen and recognized by the public gen- erally. As the time approaches for the holding of the next general election there will have to be printed the Governor’s election proclamation and numerous copies of the proposed constitutional amendments, to te sent to the various counues, and to newspapers. These and other dccuments connectel with the election are required to be published by the State Printing Office, in order that it may be responsible for the accuracy of the publication. Since by the action of the Governor the State Printer will not have the means for per- forming these duties, there will be a se- rious difficulty to confront in arranging for the election. To make the matter worse, the people of the State will gain absolutely nothing by the Governor’s action. His blunder was a thorough folly from beginning to end. ‘When he interposed to prevent the State Printing Office irom receiving the appro- priations needed for its work he neglected to prevent the collection of the taxes which the Legisiature provided for rais- ing the money. The tax levy remains in force, and the money will be collected from the people, but it wiil lie idle in the treasury and be of no service. Thus the people will have to pay justas much as they would have done were the printing cffice in ful! operation, but without recsiv- ing any benefiis from the office. The whole thing has been an act of folly of the worst kind on the part of the chief executive of the State. Ho has benefited the people in nothing and has seriously interfered with the conductof public busi- ness. It behcoves him and his advisers to take counsel together and devise some means of putting an end to the tangle. The work of the State Printing Office 18 too important to permit the office 10 be closed, and as this fact becomes more evi- dent the demand of the people upon the Governor to provide a remedy for his biunder will become imperative. San Frarcisco seems to have come cut of the serimmage with its visitors’ scrutiny witho ut lusing much. It expected a pretty serious ordeal when it met the critical geze of those dicerning Easterners, who are never for a moment 1o be taken in by anytbing that they once get their eyes on, and who are, moieover, powerfully apt to detect at first glance with their eyes any- thing that they hitherto have had only their ears on when some romancing West- erner was uilering himself enthusiastical ly (and safely) back in their own homes. San Francisco had some reason to fear that the tco patriotic ardor of afew of its wanderers abroad had conjured vp before the distended vision of the East a prim- rose reputation which it would be im pos;i- ble for thisor any other community under heaven to live up to before the naked eye of truth. [t not unreasonably feared that its bushes might be expected 10 tower above the pine tree instead of the scrub ouk, through some absent-minded coniu- sion of terms on the part of a veracious native son traveling abroad for mental recreation, or that its geraniums mignt prove disappoiniing in their ability to cover only a twenty-foot wall after some roviug missionary of the West had casual- | ly let fall 1he impression that they quite commonly spread over an expanse forty feet high and a hundred wide. It shrank from the moment when it should be dis- covered that the tops of its trees could be seen without a was laid bare that every island in the bay was not covered with roaring seals. Bat, as we have intimated, the City may congratulate itself on having come out of the rigorous mill of inspection with a fairly well prescrved reputation and a whole skin, despite the great things it had tu do to come up to expectations. After picking itself up and peering at iis rai- ment it finds, to its intense relief, no rents at all and very little dust. Itisstill a re- markably great city in the eyes of the multitudes from both far and near. Its rose bushes are as wonderfu! as any one hoped to see this side of the Great Fiower Gardens; its geraniums climb to heights hardly dreamed of in the philosophy of flower-raising in the East; its seals do not swarm on Goat Island, but do exist none the less audibly on tne rocks at the Cliff; and its climate—benign Providence be praised !—look at its climate. Tuat alone is enough to splendor it in :he memory of visiting mankind for the rest of their days even 1f they fail to see arose bush, ora geranium, or a seal in the whole State. But, speaking of the State, suppose our visitors take a pilgrimage here and there through the interior just to see what Cali- fornia is like oulside of the crowded metropolis. Here at bome, among our- selves, we City folks as a rule refrain from descanting very heavily upon the rival attractions which lie all around us only a few miles away. We are al- ways secretly conscious of them, and when we get 2 good chance on the quiet we dilate on them at a great rate away from home—that is to say, outside of the Stats where they will not hear what a good opinion we have of them and become intolerably sweiled in conse- quence thereof; but we find it needful for the preservation of the peace to austerely mask our real sentiments for that reason. Between just the visitors and ourselves the interior possesses attractions far greater than our own, and the airs it would put on if we were to admit the fact to 1tself would simply make life mis- erable for us. Hence our whispering. Youa had better go and see for yourselves—see the trees that are really big, the owers that actu- ally loom above the fencetops, the froits that have made Califurnia famous all over the world. See real California by going into the fields, the orchards, the forests. You don’t get this near to paradise every | year. See all you can of it and enjoy it telescope or when it | to the fullest measure while you have the opportunity. Bat, incidentally, don’t tell the country folks that we advised you todoit. We have them pretty quiet now, and it would only serve to begin the fight of rivalry all over again; and we always get the worst ot it. i THE MISSIONS. It is to be hoped tkbe celebration this year of the centenary of the foundation of ihe old missions will strengthen the movement for their preservation. Cali- fornia has a treasure in the old buildings | well worth all the wisely directed efforts that may be put forth in order to preserve them. Those who give attention to the subject and make proper provision to keep them from complete destruction will be benefactors to an extent difficult to estimate. Historic ruins throw a charm of romance over the land on which they stand, and, added to nature’s handiwork, make a picturesque landscepe that gives a delight to every artistic sensibility. Anmerica, rich in all el:e, is very poor in this respect, and California therefore has a splenaid advantaze in these historic mis- sions as well as in the unrivaled gran- deur of her natural scenery. The old missions are not only pleasing to the eye from an artistic point ¢f view, but have a worth hardly surpassed by the | ancient monuments of any land, inasmuch as they commemorate a long series of heroic deeds well deserving of perpetual memory. Who shall say what subtle in- spiration the sizht of them may breathe into the spirits of Californians yet unborn ? The great minded Spanish priests failed in their purpose oi saving the Indian race, but the example of their magnificent effort has been tequeathed for all time to the children born on the lapd made holy by their pious prayers and brave strivinus, Thus was their labor not in vain. Their history is a story of courage, persistence, self-denial, patient life-time work spent in loving care foran alien race, and they laid some of the foundation stones of our society on which Californians can most safely build. Let us tressure these ruins and proudly point them out to our visitors from the East. 8o noble was the initiation of civili- zation here, owing to the pious priests, that these picturesque piles commemorat- ing their heroism are a promise of a great and happy future to all this coast, The prayers and consecrated efforts with which the fathers first brought the land under the sway of the white race we may safely trust will be an enduring blessing to the soil; and because of their noble as- pirations and brave work some powerfnl influence wiil always be kept slive in t e hearts of the people to guard the land from calamity and bring it to perfect peace and prosperity, just as effectvally as if it were really true that Our Lady of Loreto ever continues, as of old, to faith- fully watch over our hills and valleys with prayerfui eyes and loving heari. ALASKA'S PROGRESS The [ron Age gives an account of the rapid progre:s of Alaska which demon- strates that the purchase of that Territory | was one of the shrewdest bargains Uncle Sam ever made. It does not scem an un- reasonable calcuiation that in the near | future the yield of gold alone from there will amount each year to the whole of the purchase price. Last year about ten thousand miners flocked into the country, and this year 1t is estimated there will be about fifteen thousand. In 1896 the output of gold was be twelve millions. This great output is but the small beginningseof the industry, for the country so far has been but par- tially developed. It is siated that if it were not for the short working season and the very severe winters there would have been a rush to Alaska compared to which that of California in 1849 would not be a circumstance. The obstacle of the short working sea- son is being rapidly overcome as mining is being more systematically and skillfully carried on. It is found that the old mines increase in richnass the further they are extended into the bowels of the earth and many of the mines are now being operated at a depth where the temperature is so warm there is no interference with work in the coldest months of winter. The journey to the mines of the interior has been relieved of much of its hard- | ship by the discovery of short cuts and easier ways of travel. Goods are hoisted over some of the summits in the passes by block und tackle. The transporcation of freight to the head of navication is re- | duced to about one-third of what it wasa | year or two ago. Three lines of well- appointed freight and passenger steamers ply regularly to trading points and mis- sion stations on the upper Yukon, and, strangely enough, it is said there are more steamers to be seen on these waters than there are on the upper Mississippi. In the country that stretchesaround the gold district there are a dozen rivers, each as large as the Ogio, and these have big tributaries called creeks. One of these, Preacher Creek, is 700 miies long. In some less modest countries they would call such a stream 2 river. All the banks of these streams are said to be auriferous, and the ground seventy-tive yards off is found to be rich in gold. The float gold | indicates massive quartz ledgas, which, 1t 1s believed, will soon be locatea, as an army of 15,000 miners is on the search. It should be borne in mind, however, that while all this richness has a booming and attractive sound, Alaska is not a proper place for a miner without money. The seasons for mining are short, the ! winters terribly cold and the country dif- ficult of access. It is hard to get there | and barder to get back. Only strong financial concerns with improved ma- chinery can handle the good things there, and even for them there are fewer risks and better prospects for profit in the mines of California. o A MINING SECRETARY. The appointment by tne gold conven- tion at Denver of a committee to consider the feasibility of bringing about the es- tablishment of a department of mines and mining, to be presided over by an officer of Cabinet rank, is an important step taken in the direction of accomplish- ing that much neceded addition to our Government. The committee will find no lack of evidence of the importance of such a department, and itis to be hoped they may, without serious difficulty, discover & means of msking its establishment feasible. The issue is nota new one to Califor- nians. The Miners' Agsociation of this Blnt‘a passed resolutions in favor of the es- tablishment of such a department at its last annual meeting in this City, and since that time TnEe CALL has piven to the movement all the aid in its power. An agitation of the subject was begun and throughout the Western States the press almost unanimously supported the pro- posal. No further campaign of education is therefore needed on this coast. Tha Dnn\_rer committee will have strong back- ing in its work, and to accomplish suc- | five millions and this year it is expected to | cess will have only to convince the East- ern mining men of the benefits which they may expect from a representative in the Cabinet. The resolutions adopted by the conven- tion calling for a reform in mining laws are pertinent to the agitation for the es- tablishment of the proposed department of mines. The speediest and the surast way of procuring the enactment of just laws regulating the mining industry of tiie country is to have all the affairs of that industry centered in a single depart- ment under the supervision and control of asingle head. The battle for reform in mining laws, therefore, should be made a part of the contest for the appointment of a secretary of mines. The two reforms should go forward together, for the ac- complishment of either is largely depend- ent upon the success of the other. The time is propitious for making an earnest fight for the desired reform. Itis altogether likely that at the next session Congress will be calledl apon to seriously consider the advisability of enlarging the Cabinet. A movement has been started in the East for the establishmentof a depart- ment of commerce and manufactures. This movement is so strongly supported it will be sure to come up for considera- tion. The Western movement for the cre- ation of a department of mines and min- ing will then have a full and fair hearing and should be pushed to the iront. West- ern claims are as good as those of the East., INDIANS AS REGULARS. With the disbanding of the last Indian Com- pany at Fort Sill ends the experimentof mak- ing regular soldiers of the Indians. They will, of course, in the future as in the pastD?em- ployed as guides and scouts, being hired as oceasion requires. The War and Indian departments and many civilians, as well as army officers, had long recommended the employment of Iodians in the military service, the plan being finally carried out under Mr. Proctor’s adminisira- tion of the War pepartment. In 1891 orders were issued authorizing the enlistment of one company of Indians for each of the twenty- six regiments of white cavairy and infantry then serving west of the Mississippi River. But little difficulty was experienced in cnlist- ing the requisite numbers. The soldierly bear- ing of the Iudians, their efficiency: and disci- pline, have been commended by the Secretary of War, generais of the army and officers ou duty with Indian companies. T his report for 1891 the Secretary of War says: “Incidentally it was hoped that the habits of obedience, cleanliness and punotual- i1y, as well as steady labor in the performance of both military and industrial work incul- cated by service in the army, would bave a good effect on those who might enli-t, and also furnish an object-lesson of some value and exert a Lealthy influence upon otners of their tribe. The results have been satisfactory. It isnotonly an mportant step toward their civilization aud self-control, but is the cheapest and best lnsurance against further Indian troubles.” The Indian’s lack of knowledge of English was found to be a great drawback and inter- fered with his employment on many duties, especially guard. Side by sde with white companies the Indians darilied equally well, and often better, the attention paid and the precision of movement being especially no- ticeable. They mever murmured, and aside from a tendency to indulge in drivk rarely gave any trouble in the matter of discipiine. From the time when General Crook first be- gan to employ hired indian scouts in his campaigns against hostiles the value of In- dians has never been doubted, and they have uniformly proved loyal. In many cases the | safety of a command nas actually depended upon the good faith of the Indian scouts. When we add to this the Indians' well-known ability to endure hunger, thirst and fatigue it is evident that in our red-skinned natives we | have the making of the finest body of irregu- lar soldiers in the world, and in futtre cam- paigns, as in the past, they are certain to be employed. Itmay well be asked then, What has caused the failure and abandonmentof a scheme oteniistment which at first uppeared 80 promising? The army has lost a most valuable auxiliary aud the Indian what- ever of civilizing influence gained from his new surroundings and condition:, The evi- dent miatake was made of attempting o place the Indiau as a soldier in all respects, food, discipline, drill, uniform, etc., strictly on the same footing as his white comrade in arms. If the meres act of taking the eanlistment oath could advance the Indian some three or four centuries in the scale of civii.zaiion the best results might have been expected, but as it Wwas by attempt ng to puthimat once on an equal footing the experiment was foredoomed to failure. As irregular or auxiliary troops the red men should naturaily form a part of our army. To attain the best results the Indians should be under the control of the War Department. This is not absolutely necessary, though it wou.d vastly simpiify the problem of their management. Enlist from each tribe a certain percentage of the men, form them into com- panies as mounted or dismounied troops as necessary. They would then be formed into villages, located near their tribe and allowed to have their families with them. The officer detailed 1o command such a company must be specially selected for his practical knowl- edge of the Indians and be also interested in the development ot the ra“e. He wouid be at once military chief and civil governor. The enlisied Indfans would, under his direc- tion, be instructed in Euglish, the cultivation of the soll, care of crops, raising of domestic animals, etc. The military duty proper would be small in amount, and adapted strictly to preserve and develop the natural soldierly in- stincts of the Indian, Proximity to the tribe | would notonly make him contented, but the whole would form an object lesson of the greatest value. On discharge the Indian would become an important factor in advanc- ing tribal improvement. Uuder the system as tried, where & company was stationed far away from its tribe (in one case as far cast as Atlanta), it was no wonder that the Indian took his discharge as quickly as possibie xnd returned home at the first op- poriunity. Under the village or communal sysiem the Indian Is as good or better soldier, always available in case of need, and the civ- ilizing feature could be developed to the fullest extent. Such a system has the ap- proval of officers who from years of service among the Indians are far better qualified to judge of what is best for the Indian and the Government than any number of philanthro- p'sts and visionaries who sce the Indian only 1zom & car-window or gain their knowledge of him solely from books.
