THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1898. 9 KLAND MUST NOT FORGET Watér Rate Lessons of the Present and Past. Political Balloons Are Now Being Ambitiously In- flated. If Consolidation Will Tend to Purify Politics It Will Be Popular. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 6. If Oakland were sincere, she would soon be a great and important city. But her sincerity in the past has been evanescent, and the city’s growth has been thereby impeded. One fact will both illustrate and prove this point at the same time. FEight years ago Oak- land hooted and yelled at and hung in eff several of her Councilmen. Among them were Brosnahan, Heit- man and BaM. Since that time Heit- man h not failed of re-election h two vears; Brosnahan has enjoved the same evidence of the voters’ good will, except once, when he did not seek elec- tion, and E returned last spring not change its population and therefore the pre- ne peo- ple who hooted and r eight years ago are the same who returned the nals of the efligies to the Coun- cil who hooted velled last we to-morrow A city doe nd and k and will do so again ght. ince it is apparent that nothing but ad of two of the Solid the s of water from y the next year by taken to-morrow , it is opportune fact that the personnel of a Cit is not perpetual.

Indictments of officials by grand juries have lost much of their terror in Alameda County. During the past few rs there have been over a score of indictments found, but not in a single instance has 'a conviction been ob- tained. It would indeed be a surprise fo ‘see arc unfafthful official pay the penalty of his malfeasance. a if the facts indictments It is amusing to w the professional and office-holding poli- ticlan Already the fall campaign is mapped out, all the offic are filled, many combinations are made and State and county are scheduled to go hand in hand.

The ambition of the county nominate a Reépublican Governor has drawn toward it more attention from the balance of the State than ever be- fore, and for the first time in six years it is very clear that some San Fran- cisco Democratic politiclans are earn- estly taking a hand in trying to shape the destiny of ‘the gubernatorial can- didates. The intrusion is, as might be supposed, not based on sincerity, and from the manner in which the Scheme is being worked it is very apparent that its object is to make impossible the nomination of either Pardee or Davis and to strengthen the cause of Maguire by creating dissatisfaction in the Republican camp. The possible disaster is not fully realized as yet, but by degrees the cat is jumping out of the bag, and there promises to be a lively scattering before long. It is noticeable that many parts of the State are putting forth candidates, but always with the’ reservation ‘that if Alameda can put forth a strong man and agree upon him he will probably receive the nomination for the head of the ticket. of either man withdrawing than there was three months ago, and it now seems likelv that they will both lead delegations to the State convention. As both men have money to burn the hosts are rejoicing at the prospect. Oakland is now earnestly considering the consolidation of city and county, and although much has been said in its favor, but little has been said against it. Twelve years ago there was some talk of a consolidation, and it fell through. It-was natural that it should do so. At that time there was not an inch of electric road in the county, nor for four years after. A crazy horsecar ran to Alameda at intervals, and l_ferkel‘ey vas really farther off than San Francisco. East Oakland could not be reached after dark beyond Thir- teenth avenue except by the local train, and to go to Highland Park was an afternoon’s task. Now, what are the. conditions?

Cars fly around Alameda and through Oakland from both east -and west, and branches go over the Encinal City; Berkeley is reached by one| straight line and a loop line equal to two routes; four lines run to West Oakland, and three to East Oakland, | and a stranger riding from Bay Farm Island across the estuary, through Oak- land and out to the university, a dis- | tance of about eight miles, would see | nothing to indicate that it was not all one rapidly developing town. Just at this time, public opinion will be guided by but one argument. If it can be shown that a consolidation will have a purifying effect on politics it will be popular, and otherwise it will not.

Never in the history of the Bush-street Temple has that edifice held such a crowd as that which attended the lecture of Rabbi Myers on “Dreyfus and Zola” last evening. Every seat was taken, and standing foom was at a pre- mium. During the eloquent remarks of the pastor it was with great effort taat the large gathering could restrain itself from breaking out in applause. They could not withhold their appreciation for at the conclusion of the pow- erful speech they applauded with great vigor. Rabbi Myers spoke with great force, and was listened to with profound interest. In part, he said: . “For some time past, turoughout the length and breadth of the civilized world one subject has attracted the interest of ali intelligent men and women. Why has the Dreyfus case attracted so much interest? There is inherent in the human heart one great eternal principle and that is justice, and we measure, wWe gauge the -rogress of an age, the condition and ad- vancement of society by the human justice that is manifested in its midst. So, in the minds of all disinterested people, there is a strong -feeling that there has been a great miscarriage of justice in a highly civilized society, in one of the most civilized countries of the present age. Men and women feit a deep interest in the proceeaings which were to bring to light tae ruiit or innocence ot a man, and the interest in that drama has been deepened, for one of the actors in that drama happens to be a Jew; and then the interest becomes greater when we find an example of most heroic courage by one man, whose works are to be classed with the literature of France, is a hero—is one of the greatest heroes at this end of the nineteenth cen- tury.” -ne speaker then drew a vivid picture of the arrest of Dreyfus, his incarceration, the treatment he received and the mental tortures he was subjected to in order to wring a confession from his lips, and then he spoke of the proceedings at his trial, Then he went over the familiar scenes of Zola's trial, how the officers of tae court were intimidated by the howling mob- ana how the jury, after being told by a general officer that “they were France,” had retired and brought in a verdict of guilty after a half-hour’'s deliberation. In concluding his able remarks, the speaker said: “Instead of sympa...zing with Dreyfus, who is living a miserable life; instead.of sympathizing with Zola, whose name will live on even after his books are forgottén I would ra..er express my humillauon for France in this hour of shame. It was not Dreyfus who was tried; it was not Zola who was triéd—it was France; and the jury that was watching the case was not simply the twelve men chosen from the people, but was the jury of the civilized world, and that voice of the world is thé voice of God, and with that feeung that is inherent in the human heart we feel deeply for the country that has been dragged down.” Z ©00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000 000 O'OO0OOOOQ—OOO_OGOébOQOOOOOOOOOOOOO | dren present got a generous dividend | lows: | full were as follo REVELRY AT SHELL MOUND The Picnic Season Opens Happily and Au- spiciously. Thousands of People Enjoy a Day at This Popular Resort. Adolph Strecker Makes a New World’s Record With His R fle. Between 8000 and 10,000 people visited Shell Mound Park yesterday to partici- pate in the first picnic of the season at that popular, resort and help to mark the opening of the shooting season for this year. The weather was all that could have been desired, and the merrymakers en- tered with gleeful animation into the pastimes provided by the management. The big pavilion seemed at times crowded aimost to suffocation with the dancers, who kept merry time to the music of an excellent band throughout the afternoon.

Siebe's manage- ment of Shell Mound Park, and the| large attendance was a flattering trib- ute to his popularity. The captain was | given an almost endless series of ova- | tions throughout the day, and many a | warm wish was expressed for his long- | continued health and prosperity. Notwithstanding the large crowd| present at the picnic grounds the order | was excellent—not an unpleasant feat- ure of any kind arising to mar the hap- piness of the occasion. Great interest centered in the publicl prize shooting match on the “man _tar- | get,” under the auspices of the Nord- | deutscher Schuetzen Club. This con- | test was open to all comers, and for all rifles excepting those with telescopic | sights. The competition developed some | wonderful shooting, and Shell Mound | supplies another new world’s record in | marksmanship for this year. The high- | est possible single shot on this target is | 20. Four-shot scores ruled in this | match, making a possible 80. Adolph | Strecker’'s score was 19, | total of 79, which beats by one point the best previous record known to the rifle world. George Alpers made a good | second, with a score of 78. Cash prizes aggregating $180 were given, ranging | in amount from $1 to $20, and the win- ners, with their scores, were as fol- A. Strecker, 79; George Alpers, l'!nchl;. 76; D. W.

T e AT SCHUETZEN PARK. California Cluband Verein Ein- tracht Hold Contests. The rifle range at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, was almost deserted yesterday except by the marksmen of the California Schuetzen Club and the San Francisco Verein Eintracht, and members of these organizations com- pleted their shooting in the monthly contests as rapidly as possible and caught an early train back to the metropolis in order to be at the open- ing shoot at Shell Mound Park. : Among the marksmen present, how- ever, there was the usaal enthusiasm and the scores in the medal contest of the California Schuetzen Club were very good. The light on the target was strong throughout the day. In the first champion class of the California Schuetzen Club, John F. Robinson took first prize. Robinson has done some excellent shooting late- ly. Last year he captured the State's gold medal in the military shooting, and in the first champion class of the California Schuetzen Club he is proving himself to be an expert with the rifle. In the second champion class, F. P. Schuster and John Utschig Jr. are keeping well together. Yuung Utschig is a son of the veteran marksman, John Utschig Sr., and the young man is de- fending the family’s name as sharp- shooters in an admirable manner. The scores of the marksmen of the Verein Eintracht were not as good as usual. The opening shoot of the season on the San Rafael range, will take place on the third Sunday in April, and prizes of considerable value will be offered. The targets will be open to all and the various shooting organiaztions will take part in the festivities. The open- ing picnic at Schuetzen Park will be held April 3, and Fred Schuemann, the genial host, says that at least 6000 mer- rymakeérs will visit the park to cele- brate the occaslon. In the regular monthly medal shoot of the California Schuetzen Club, the following scores were made by the marksmen: First cha‘rs?lon class—First’ prize, J. F.
