With this property in hand it will be seen the new | company will be in a position to make its ferry ser- vice convenient to all parts of Qakland, Alameda and Berkeley. At the Fmeryville terminus connections will be made with the various railway lines, so that passengers can be distributed swiftly to any part of the city or its suburbs, and the time required for the trip to and from San Francisco will be largely re- duced. It goes without saying the new company will be fought by the Southern Pacific as all others have been fought. It will, therefore, depend upon the at- titude taken by the people and the authorities of Oak- land whether the project will be hastened to a prompt completion or delayed for years.

That a profitable return will be gained in the end can hardly be doubted. San Francisco and Oak- land have already reached proportions that justify the maintenance of two ferry lines, each superior to the one now operating. If fair play is given the projectors of the enterprise now under way, the benefits will be great, and it is to be hoped Oakland will not permit the Southern Pacific or its agents to prevent a consummation so much to be desired.

HE incident has passed as a news feature, but Tis subject to comment in its relation to the function of journalism. The Call was for a brief space the recipient of unfriendly criticism, which was probably the source of profit to the evening papers which printed it, because it made timely exposure of the machinations of an adventurer who had' pushed his shape and vencering of manners to the verge of a matrimonial union, which would have been advanta- geous to him, but infinitely distressing to its beautiful and wealthy victim and humiliating to her family and friends. We were careful to avoid that sensational treatment of the matter to which its dramatic and revolting fea- tures were a temptation that sensational journalism would not have resisted, as we prefetred to apply to it the severely judicial manner in which The Call treats all things of human interest. Our object was not only to prevent a grievous social tragedy and the sad wreck of a personality en- dowed with every endearing quality that shines as a refined example, but to make San Fra:cisco an un- profitable field for the operation of other adven- | turers who may find it convenient to ply their arts under the mask of an assumed name, used to cover a | life led in defiance of morality and honor. Women are peculiarly susceptible to abuse through their affections, and all good men, in memory of their mothers, owe to the world a duty in the exposure and the punishment it brings of men who adopt this abuse as atrade profitable to themselves and destruc- tive to their victims. The Call is glad to have been the means of that moral sanitation which has made all homes within its influence safer from a risk that is more appalling than a physical pestilence. Ills of the flesh may be treated and cured, and physical health, and life’s enjoyment that goes with it, may be restored and the havoc of disease so repaired that it leaves no trace and is for- gotten. Not so with those wounds of the spirit, those set sorrows which are inflicted by the sinister adventurer who has counterfeited with a cold heart the sincerities of affection, which have but one pure fountain, and that in the upright character and honor as stainless as a star. | The case which we have treated from a desire to protect the innocent and guard the community from sinister invasions in the future is not so singular as to warrant any other feeling on the part of those who have been rescued from impending ruin than grati- tude for their escape. Their position is no way dif- ferent from what it would be had any other form of peril and disaster been avoided by timely warning and friendly caution. What passing humiliation may have come is not re- membered by others, who, looking into the peace and happiness that brighten their own homes, feel more sure that these are to continue unbroken by the in- vasion of the plotting schemer. Life has sorrows and separations, cares and bur- dens enough in the natural order without the intro- se tragedies which blight and tarnish . duction of all within their influence. The purpose of The Call is accomplished, and hereafter in all homes the danger signal we set flying will be remembered, and momentous issues of life, which must always be, will have in their decision that proper caution and sleepless vigilance upon which future happiness and contentment must depend. From all sides have come commendations; fathers and mothers have expressed their gratitude, and young women whose graces and gifts might mark | them as the spoil of the adventurer have not repressed | their expressions of approval. In some of its aspects the duty we have discharged was not pleasant; in others it had certain elements of risk and danger. But none of these deterred us in its timely discharge and we are content with the result. A DESERVED RgNOMiNHTION. R. W. J. HAWKINS has well merited from the Republican party the compliment of a nomination for the office of Coroner, and has an equ the county at large for the honor of a re-election. His administration of the office has been not only faithful and honest, but thoroughly efficient, and it would be an act of political folly for | the voters to reject a man of approved worth when an opportunity is afforded of continuing him in the public service. The record of Dr. Hawkins’ management of the Coroner's office is made the brighter by contrast with Under his administration there have been no scandals either di- rectly or indirectly associated with the office in any branch of its work. Every duty imposed upon him has been fulfilled with an unsullied integrity and con- He has been called upon to deal with upward of seventy-five cases a month, and among those which came before him during his pres- ent term were several of extraordinary nature, such as those of the Durrant murders, and yet in no single instance has he failed in any particular to accomplish all that the law and the public welfare required of his | office. 3 A success so complete in itself and so notable by of former Coroners is a clear evidence that Dr. Hawkins has not only an honest fidelity in his work, but a special aptitude for its duties. This aptitude has been in- creased by the studies and the experience of his pro- fession. A graduate of the medical department of the | University of California, his learning and his skill | as a physician have been of great service in the Coroner’s office, and have enabled him to satisfac- | torily solve many problems that would have been hopelessly bungled by a less competent man. Dr. Hawkins is one of those Native Sons who have taken a keen and public spirited interest in civic af- fairs. He has not neglected the general good in his devotion to his private fortunes. His rank in his pro- fession is attested by the fact that although still a | young man he has been chosen to fill the important | position of lecturer on physiology in the medical de- | partment of the university. He is, therefore, one of | those men whom independent citizens desirous of capable administration in all branches of our local government should take delight in supporting. His past four years of office have proven his worth, and his re-election should be made by a majority so large s to show that the people of San Francisco appre- ciate the services of men who, like him, have honesty, brains, energy and civic patriotism. | o There seems to be a determination that when Gen- erals Ezeta and Letona meet they shall have a fight to the death. The fact that neither gentleman has the slightest idea of resorting to violence has been given, but no trifling circumstance like this is permitted to interfere. Several reporters have determined the | encounter shall take place. Either their reputation for veracity must suffer, or there must be a scrap..

ONSTITUTIONAL amendment No. 2 (known to the statutes as Senate amendment No. 10), which proposes to authorize the people of counties in this State, through Boards of Freehold- ers, to frame gharters for their own government, is objectionable on other grounds than that it provides an entering wedge for Maguire’s single tax. The amendment is based upon the “home rule” prin- ciple—which if not carried too far is a good thing— but besides throwing the farmers of the interior into the hands of owners of personal property who might desire at some-future day to deprive them of their lands, it opens the door to a system of laws which would if enacted prove ridiculous. In short, the amendment gives the counties more home rule than they can reasonably ask, and cer- tainly more than on principle they should possess. For instance, it is proposed to confer upon Boards of Freeholders which may be chosen to frame county government charters the right “to prescribe the man- ner and method by which all elections by the people shall be conducted, and may, in addition, determine the tests and conditions upon which electors, po- litical parties and organizations may participate in any primary election.” Since the amendment provides that the charters so framed shall not be subject to general laws-upon the same subjects, the clause quoted would authorize the County Boards of Freeholders, as to their particular counties to repeal the Australian ballot law or any general primary act which might be passed by the Legislature. The people of the State cannot sanc- tion any such grant of power as this with safety. Ballot laws and primary laws ought to be general. It would be absurd to have fifty-seven different ballot and primary systems in California, yet Senate amendment No. 10 throws the door open to such a condition. If a particular Courthouse ring of a par- ticular county should desire to return to the straight ticket system, all it would need to do would be to capture a County Board of Freeholders and get the matter before the people. The latter might not be persuaded to adopt the change, but amid a multi- plicity of issues there is always danger of losing sight of important ones, and the grant of power might lead in many cases to turning back the hands of progres: The Australian ballot system is now well rooted, and it should be permitted to bear its full fruit. Whatever good there is in it can only be got out of it by enforcing and developing the system which it has established. Home rule for the counties is an excellent thing, but in our judgment the framers of Senate amend- ment No. 10 have given them too much of it. The counties do not for their own good government re- quire authority to control the manner of voting within their limits at general and primary elections. Neither will it subserve their interests to be allowed to adopt taxation systems. Legislation on both these subjects may safely be left to the State, which in pass- ing general and uniform laws may best maintain the interests of all classes. Amendment No. 2 (Senate | No. 10) should be buried out of sight along with Ma- guire. @ SUGGESTION FOR PHEL@AN. E hesitate to say anything concerning the W campaign of Mayor Phelan which will cause our motives to be questioned, being desirous of making only a dignified and conservative opposi- tion to his Honor's attempt to become boss of San Francisco; but there is one suggestion which seems so apt and appropriate that in the interest of good pelled to submit it for consideration. Mayor Phelan, in our judgment, could help along his vaulting ambition by giving an exhibition of his “hefting” abilities at Metropolitan Hall. As a hefter he is said to be the champion of the coast. True, he failed to correctly heit the translated money bags of ex-Treasurer Widber, but that single failure need not destroy his reputation. As boss of San Francisco Mr. Phelan will have to do a great deal of “hefting,” and it is entirely proper that he should, before entering upon the discharge ot his duties in January next, demonstrate his abilities before an audience. This could be done at Metropolitan Hall, or if that place is too small at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. An interesting feature of the exhibition would be the hefting of the sack with which the Evening Bulletin has been fixed. Of course this sack is not large. The sheet is notoriously cheap and greedy, but the introduction of the identical sack and a public exhi- bition of the Mayor’s ability to tell by hefting how much there is in it after Old Man Crothers had counted it would constitute a pleasing and enter- taining spectacle. TAKING AN ARTISTIC TUMBLE l be required to tumble downstairs. She is human, and therefore subject to bruises. She has bones liable to breakage, and she has flesh over the bones, else would she not be in the business of bumping adown a rickety set of stage stairs. Perhaps there is some value in knowing how to fall, if fall one must, and to alight on the spots least susceptible to discoloration and jar might be reck- oned a fine art. However, the man who would let go all holds and yield himself to the law of gravitation just to show how unscathed he could escape would be considered foolish. It is well to know an antidote for poison, but not to swallow the poison so as to demonstrate the efficacy of the antidote. Comparatively few people fall downstairs. There is a decided preference for getting down some other | way. The landing is more satisfactory if not too pre- cipitate. Provided one is thoughtful enough to keep sober and to avoid being kicked at the top of the flight, there is little danger, and small need of prac- tice. However, there are suggestions brought up by consideration of the matter. Let a scene be intro- duced showing a graceful and safe method of leaving a car and touching the street ear first. Let the pub- lic have an object lesson in the glide resultant from stepping upon a banana peel, the essential gyrations following collision with the deadly wheelbarrow, the proper angle to assume after having been met by a bicycle. All these things would be picturesque, prac- tical and instructive. Nobody wants to know how to tumble downstairs, but rather how to avoid doing so. But the other experiences mentioned are parts of life as we have to live it. T is not easy to understand why an actress should Soldiers who have enlisted and have been kept on duty near home may find comfort in the thought that | had they gone to Manila some would never have | come back. And even the glory won over there does not seem to have been distributed in a satisfac- tory manner. | —_— i Howard Gould happens to be in a condition to forfeit $5,000,000 if necessary for the privilege of ac- | quiring a wife, and still have enough left to keep the wolf from not merely the door, but to chase the ani- mal off the premises. gaan&':&sfiumfluussflums RURUBRURRUBRVUNRNE R ILBBARRRERRINNERS THE SEINDAY GABL: & @ @ @ THE GREAT TOLSTOI CENTENNIAL. 3 3 B 3 b 8 3 3 g B 8 i 2 £ s 8 £ £ 8 8 £ @ s B @ 8 b b ] 8 ] @ 8 [ 8 ks b e e @ e e e e e o 3 54 i wRBLRN cnunnnuRRRRRNN ALICE RIX OCTOBER 18, {898.

To the Editor of The Call: I have read Mr. Pom :oy's statement of the good things that will happen to the people when they adopt the single tax with considerable interest. As to the first proposition, that it will cheapen land, I think no one will try to combat that statement, as land is always cheaper where the tax rate is too high. I think it would probably discourage speculation so far as farmers are con- cerned. It takes cash to speculate or gamble, whichever term you prefer, and if the farmers had to pay all taxes for State, county and school purposes I rather think their available cash would hardly be sufficient to speculate with to any great extent. As to rals- ng the wages of labor I, as a working- man, am of the opinion that it will raise the wages of labor provided it will change the nature of the bosses and make them want to give all the profits of their business to their em- ployes. Otherwise they will continue to want the biggest day's work for the least money possible. It would probably increase the net earnings of capital in- sted in certain lines by relieving the same of its just portion of taxes. But why single taxers or any one else ex- cept said capitalist should want to do this I am at a loss to know. How it would reduce farmers’ taxes by making them pay all the taxes is a conclusion that only a single-taxer cou:d possibly arrive at. In other words they propose to diminish a quantity by increasing it. Alr. Single Tax had better go back to his arithmetic. If it will make men live up to the golden rule it will probably prevent one man from living off the labor of another, but this is not done to as great an extent as some agitators presume. As for collecting the single tax I hardly see how they would do it, for they could not sell the land for the taxes as cer- tainly no one would want to invest in land just for the fun oé getting taxed.

Lunches for Outgoing Troops Wanted. Members of the State Red Cross Sr)-‘ clety are looking forward with deep in-| terest to the annual meeting, which is to } be held in the parlors of the First Pre byterian Church on Tuesday and Wedne: day morning next. Over fifty auxiliaries have been invited to send delegates, and in every instance they have accepted the invitation. The work of the organization during the past five months will be out- lined in reports, and matters of import- ance to the soclety will be considered. The delegates will elect their officers and executive board for the coming year. Friends and those interested in the work | of the society are invited to attend the | convention, which promises to be inter- esting. The local society appointed as its ad- visory board the ~following_well-known workers: Colonel Parnell, Miss Stinson Mrs, Paulson, Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. M Kenzie. The hospitality committee once again appeals to generous and patriotic people to aid them In furnishing the troops that are shortly to leave on the outgoing transports with lunches. Donations fruit, lemons and limes are asked for, is also bread and butter. Up to the pre: @ ent.time 72,662 men have been entertained | by the committee. That the boys who have already voy- aged to southern waters were pleased with the food and dainties furnished by the people of this State through the me- dium of the Red Cross Society Is shown by the many letters received by resi- dents of this city, in which soldiers state that had not they received such supplies they would have suffered greatly, as most of the food could not be eaten and was | thrown overboard.
