At the hiead of these are W. R. Davis, Arthur H. Rreed sident of the Republican County Central Committee, and most of the old-time Republicans. TI men fer the recent experience the San Francisco Democ with its appointed convention. So much suspiclon was at- tached to the work of the Committee of One Hundred that the downfall of fts nominees was v pronounced. There is no_ need. ~however, to go to San Francisco for an ex- emple of the pernicious effect of ap- pointing conventions. Oakland had one | two years ago and the result needs no reference at this time. One little incident that occurred at the Jast city election shows clearly how im- | perative it is that there should not be a single flaw in the nominees of a succe: ful ticket. At the convention called by the Committee of Twenty-one, F. M. Par- cells secured the nomination for Council- aman from the Fifth Ward. The incumbent | Dr. W. O. Buckland, n honest offi- cial who should certainly nave been r nominated. He was turned down by the appointed delegates. not being wanted, slthough there is little doubt that he would have won at a primary. He de- clded not to be thrust aside through the | mvhim of delegates named by three men or | an independent | possibly less, 5o he mac lcampaign, and between his vote and the wote of Parcells, & Democrat, Aaron F push, was elected in a district strongly epublican. This evil effect of appoint- ing delegates is directly responsible for the existence of the *‘solid si: and all its malsdorous history in the City Council. For reasons known to himself, but which the water combine could easily explain, Councilman Fibush _resigned. Mayor Thomas then appointed Major Woodward. “The Major made the sixth member of the “solid slx” and that is the reason why in | connection with his marvelous erudition in drawing up water rate schedules he has been regarded as the author of all the unpleasantness of the past year. Had the Jogical candidate from the Fifth Ward, Dr. Buckland, been nominated, he would have been elected and the scandals of the ErPsenl administration would not have een possible, for Oakland can feel per- fectly safe with six such men in her Cit Council as Buckland, Cuvellier, Girard, Pringle, Row and Upton. The turning down of Buckland was not altogether an accident; it was rather a clever part of a clever scheme, put up by the water combine and successfully carried out, and would hardly have been carried out in eny other than an appointed convention. The lessons to be learned from the scan- Gals of the past two years would seem to be that secrecy in the early stages of a political campalgn is not desirable. This remark applies at thie time as forcibly to the Municipal League as it did two years | ago to the secret meetings of the Com mittee of Twenty-one. At the last meet | ing of the league A. B. Nye outlined a plan | | of campaign which contained the Svments | of a first-class municipal platform. It is | true that there were in his remarks some references to State and national govern- | ment which wére not complimentary and | which have no_ place in municipal doc- | trine. But on the whole Mr. Nye's ideas | were instructive and practical, and it | that they were not put ! Into the hands of every voter in this city If such work as was done at the last meeting of the League is typical of its objects, there does not appear to be any | zood reason why, as Mr. Nye expressed it, | “gentlemanly representatives of the yress” should not be welcome. The public [BRs a perfect right to know the various stages leading up to the nomination of a | ticket for which it is to be importuned | to vote. Secrecy always breeds suspicion, | | and the basis of a campaign of moral and material reform and progress cannot be | too broad or too generally known. The | League objected to its being termed by its seemed a pit olitical ~enemies, ‘‘the Dark-Lantern .eague,” but there was some foundation | for such a name. During the | years far-too much of Oakl ¥ | have been done behind closed doors ;(\fl\':nu or semi-religious organizatio: [here has been alm a revulsion of feel- ing in this regard during the pa ¥ that was made very manifest the re cent election, and henceforth there will | always be genuine suspicion attached to any organization or party clique, the ob- ject of which is entirely political and | | | or | [ Which meets secretly to transact what is n reality pubiic business. { There 1s no foundation for the presump-| tion that the worthy gentlemen who com- | prise the Municipal League are any more capable of judging of what is good for the rest of Oakland than those who are out- side the league.

When he has them hgme he shows no desire to play with them. These unpleasant freaks of his nature are not continual, but break out at inter- vals. The boy is kind, not viclous nor ma- liclous and {s always obedient, except when by himself and there is some temptation around. His parents are well off, but their duties keep them trav- eling, and their boy was sent to Oakland to be educated. There is a feeling that it would not be proper to send such a boy to Tone, and an effort will first be made to send him on a long whaling trip, where his surrounding will be novel and where temptations will be few. WATER FRONT SURPRISE. Oakland’s Attorneys Cldim to Have Discovered a New Point. OAKLAND, Dec. 18.—The great water front controversy may be reopened along new lines. The attorneys for the city filed thelr first brief yesterday and it contains some new matter that may alter the en- tire complexion of the recent decision of the Supreme Court. The brief refers largely to the manner in which the city dedicated streets to the tide line. It is asserted that the dedicat- ing ordinances *“come within the principle, inherent in the character of the property, that where a public street is brought to the shore of a navigable water, the way | lles the ocean does not stop at high tide. For beyond highways, already dedi- cated by nature to public uses; and the intent and purpose of declaring a public | highway to the shore is to reach out to | [ | | eached perfection in that crime, and his | ase is now puzzling the District Attorney nd the police.

Nieto, is A monument to God, dedi- cated to suffering humanity.” A feature of the exercises was the musical programme rendered by the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum brass band. Among the selections rendered were “First Effort,” “Albanian March,” “America,” *“‘Hail Columbia” ana “Yankee Doodle.” The services opened with a prayer by Dr. M. 8. Levy, followed by a brief ad- dress by President Joseph Branden- stein of the Hospital Association. Dr. Voorsanger then read a prepared statement of the history of the asso- clation from its inception, November 3, 1887, to the present day, and appealed to those present to come to the aid of the hospital with liberal subscriptions for its support..

The first of these is that acceptance was not necessary, and the second that acceptance was involved in the dedication. These contentions will have to be passed upon h Judge Ogden, and should he hold them to be good the case may have to be, in a great measure, retried. —————— KAMP'S ACTIONS UPHELD. City Trustees Take No Stock in Hoeck’s Charges. ALAMEDA, Dec. 18.—The Police Com- mittee of the City Trustees have disposed of the charges filed by Jacob Hoeck against Officer Albert Kamp. Their de- cision was that the charges were un- worthy of consideration. Hoeck accused Kamp of giving information to a Call re- orter concerning the incarceration by {oeck of h two little son It w shown that mp only allowed the re- porter to interview the boys after he i)juduretl an_order from the City Marshal. Kamp stated at the Investigation that had he known the circumstaies of the ‘bo; imprisonment and the fact that no charge had been placed against them he would not have kept them in jail, even though father insisted “théy should be locked in separate cells. The Trustees told him that under the circumstan they would have upheld his actions if he had set them free. Hoeck said the Mar- shal's order to Kamp had been written to protect the officer after the charges were filed. In reply to this Kamp_called Hoeck a “dirty cur,” and Marshal Rogers ersonal pun- man. said he would treat him to ishment if he was not an ol D S Y appliance and will be conducted on the broadest lines of non-sectarian philantrophy. The cost of the bullding and site will approximate $50,000. The present hospital bullding, which the structure now in course of con- struction is to displace, Is located at the correr of Sutter and Hyde streets and hes a capacity of twelve beds. The new hospital will accommodate fifty patients easily. It will be under the control of the board of directors, ‘which is made up as follows: J. Bran- denstein, president; M. Eisner, vice president; N. Schlesinger, honorary secretary; L. Bremer, treasurer; J. Naphtaly, E. Raas, I. W. Goldman, M. Brown, I. W. Hellman Jr., J. B. Levison and Walter Castle. The hos- pital staff ts as follows: Consulting physicians, Dr. David Cohn, Dr. Adol- phus Aronstern and Dr. George Myers; visiting surgeon, Dr. Julius Rosen- stirn; visiting physicians, Dr. C. G.

She may BO to Magdalena Bay for gun practice, but the authorities may not even allow her to go that far. Her spar deck beams have opened up and other defects have showed themselves, so the vessel not now con- sidered safe for a long voyage. The Adams went into commission nearly three months ago, and 200 naval appren- tices were put aboard her from the re- celving ship Independence. not arrived from the East, so the vessel chored on the easterly side of Goat Isl- and. It was thought that she would only be there for a week or so, as her arma- ment was daily expected from the East. Phe guns have not arrived as yet, how- ever, and no one seems to Know when they will get here. In the meantime the app’ tice boys have been drilled daily, and that is what has caused the dam- age. sl‘wo hundred of them on the spar deck marking time at the double guick causes the old Sloop-of-war to tremble from stem to stern, and the result is the starting of the deck beams. The chances are that when the cannon arrive the Adams will go outside for gun practice, and then re- turn to Mare lsland for an u\‘el:huuflng if, however, the stamping of 200 boys causes the deck beams to open, what will the concussion from the firing of the guns do to the vessel? % The apprentice boys thoroughly enjoy their life aboard the training ship. They like thelr officers, are well fed and well treated, and in consequence there has not been a single desertion since the vessel went into commission. The British ship William Mitchell, which is coming here from Hiago, Japan, to load wheat for Eursope, will lose one of her crew as soon as she reaches port. Herman von Pflugk, the runaway son of & German Baron, is on board of her as an ordinary sailor, and as his father wants him at home the chances are that he will go back to Germany from San Francisco. : £ In March last the William Mitchell was in Antwerp, preparing to leave for the United States in ballast. Young Pflugk had run away from his home in Hamburg, taking with him 200 marks (about $50), and had made his way to Antwerp. There he made the acquaintance of some Ger- man sailors, who had shipped aboard the William Mitchell. There was no vacancy away, and when the ship had cleared the Scheldt River they brought him before the mate, who set him to work. Pflugk could not speak a word of English, but by the time the vessel reached Philadelphia he could make himself understood in any company. Captain Cutting took a great Uking the handsome 16-year-old lad, and when he refused point blank to go home, saying he would ship on_another vessel if he couldn’t go on the Mitchell, he shipped him as an_ordinary seaman for the voyage to Hiogo, Japan, thence to San Francisco. Baron Pflugk has got on the track of his son and heir, however, and the boy will be persuaded to go home via New York from San Fran- isco. cxn a month or so the Spreckels towboat company will have its force of tugs reor- ganized. The lnkin% of the Fearless, Active and 'Vlfillfln! nto the Government service left the concern with only two tugs to handle its large business, so another boat had to be chartered. The new Fearles now being bullt by the Union Iron Works is soon to be launched and the Relief is coming here for good from the Columbia River. This will give the company the Fearless, Relief, Reliance and Alert, four of the finest tugs on the Paciflc, with which to handle its business. The Relief has been under charter for a long time to the Oregon Rallway and Navigation Company. That company is now having completed for it, at the Union Tron Works, a steel tug that will take the lace of the Relief. She will be called the Wallowa and is almost a duplicate of the Fearless. Both tugs are being built side by side. New boilers have been built for the Relief and she is to come here at once and have them put in. At the same time she will receive a thorough over- hauling and will go into_commission on the bay again. The tug Rescue, Captain Dan Thompson, will sail to-day for the Columbia River to relieve the Relief. The landing float at the foot of Folsom street suffered during the norther. It be- came waterlogged and now if there is any kind of a sea on people using it get wet feet. It is to be pumped out and put in first class repair again in a few da: The Japanese who came from Clipperton Island on the steamer Alice Blanchard refuse to leave the vessel unless to land In San Francisco. They were taken to Clipperton from Honolulu and the Im- migration Commissioner refuses to land them on the ground that the{ are con- tract laborers. The Japs are going to fight the case and in the meantime the steam- ship company will have to feed and house the natives. The old whaling bark Mermaid, that made a trip to Kotzebue Sound last spring with gold hunters, is to be fitted out for another cruise in the Arctic. She was purchased by B. H. Madison and she will g0 whaling in place of the schooner Ro- gario that was wrecked. The steam whaler Alexander, that came in clean, is also being fitted out for another cruise. MUSIC BY THE BLIND.
