He seems to be in a self- i) | satisfied state of mind about it, because of his opinion that he is so much better than his party that he asks only its nomination, intending to get outside votes to: elect him. To do this he found it necessary for his party to do the ostrich act and hide its head in the sand. He said in his Metropolitan Hall speech last August, “We must get control of the convention.” “We” did not mean that the Democratic party must control a free convention, in which every man would show and fair play, but that the Mayor riends must control it. Well, “we” succeeded, and aiter the Democratic convention met Mr. Phelan proceeded to force it to pretend that it was not a Democratic convention. It was compelled to put off the lion skin of a national organization and appear in the hide of an ass grown tired of thistles for food and seeking better pasture. This change of individual- ity, this hiding from itself, this appearance in a mask, produced one of the most violent and turbulent as- semblages ever seen in this city. A conventicle led on the ilots by Dennis Kearney in his high and mighty s was a Quaker meeting compared to it. At t e violence rose to such a pitch that Phelan r his managers had to send for the police, apd all present to prevent riot and bloodshed in Mayor Phelan’s fountain of good government! With the tempors: irman barricaded behind the stags, while an enraged delegate stood on the platform call- ing him a liar and daring him to come out and take licking; with the convention exulting in an ecstacy of riot and disorder, there was presented a forecast of the style of government which will result from the ng control of the convention. ¢ and thinking people need no informa- tion upon the style of good government supplied by Mayor gettin | Mr. Phelan’s party. When Greater New York came under its new char- convention there and se- cured the city government. The result has been so 1seating that the city has retched and strained ever ince in an effort to throw up her new charter, and her boroughs, greater boundaries and all. Chicago enlarged her borders, greatened herseif and widened her phylactery. “We" got control of the convention there and inaugurated a Democratic city government, as did New York. The effect has followed cause in Chicago. From Democratic testi- n | mony it is established that the municipal government has risen no higher than its source, and it bites like a blister every public and private interest it can In New York Van Wyck, in Chicago Carter Harrison, posed as better than their party to secure votes outside the party, just as Mr. Phelan poses here, but when elected their obligations ran to the pit out of which they were digged and thence came the inspiration of their administration. If “we” controlled the late Democratic municipal convention and exhibited in it a reformed party, just must the party have been before it reformed?

THE COMMERCIAL MUSEUM. PORTS from Philadelphia concerning successes of the export exposition are of nature to encourage and to stimulate the a the this city a commercial museum for the purpose of facilitating our trade with foreign countries. No fea- ture of the exposition seems to have attracted more attention from, practical business men, whether mer- chants or manufacturers, than those which by ex- hibiting the kinds of goods used in different countries. | show in what direction we can most profitably em- ploy our energies in seeking commercial expansion. The exhibits in the foreign sample department of the exposition were obtained partly by the Govern- ment and partly by the Philadelphia Commercial Museum. Congress appropriated $50,000 for the work and the Commissioners were engaged about fifteert months in collecting the exhibits from all parts of the globe. In describing them the Philadelphia Record says: “There are displayed in this exhibition considerably more than 250,000 articles, including every class textiles for every market of the globe; of hardware 5 | all descriptions, glassware, plated ware, boots and shoes, straw and felt hats, tinware, cutlery, harness goods, jewelry, agricultural implements and other goods. Not only have the American agents suc- ceeded in getting many specimens of the articles manufactured in the various countries, but hae placed by the side of these the articles of the same kind imported in these markets, s give a com- prehensive object lesson to American manufacturers as to what these markets desire and what their com- petitors from other countries are furnishing for them.” It has been announced that if the citizens of San Francisco establish and maintain a commercial mu- seum the authorities of the one in Philadelphia would co-operate with it and furnish out of the surplus there a considerable number of exhibits to start with. It would be well to accept that offer promptly. From the amount of interest which has been excited in the East by the exposition of exports it is certain more than one city will be moved to establish a museum of the kind and apply to Philadelphia for exhibits. If we delay the inauguration of the museum here we may lose many a valuable collection of foreign goods that might otherwise come to us. It is to be noted that an exhibit of the extent and variety now displayed at Philadelphia is not easily obtained. It is said it is the only collection of mer- e force that could be spared from the patrols was | !chandise representing the products of the world ever gathered for the purpose of giving the exporter the opportunity of examining the goods marketable in | foreign lands and with which he desires to place his | own in competition. The difficulties of obtaining the { collection and its object were explained by William | Harper, whose efforts brought about the co-operation | of the Federal Government with that of the Philadel- | phia Commercial Museum officials in the accumula- ;don of these so-called samples. Among the expe- riences narrated of the agents in getting them were a number of instances where the American Commis- oners were threatened with death for spying on the industrial secrets of various countries. In not a few cases they were compelled to appeal to the American | Consul for protection, and this official had to seek | the assistance of the Government. | San Francisco of course looks forward to a vast expansion of her commerce in the immediate future, | and, that being so, her merchants should be alert to profit by the opportunity now afforded to start a com- | mercial museum under such favorable circumstances. ‘The promoters of the movement should urge it at | once upon public attention i BOOKS BY POST. ‘ 2B i OR the purpose of equalizing library privileges throughout the country there has been started | in New England a movement which has so much | to commend it that it merits immediate success. The object is to procure an act of Congress permitting circulating libraries to send books through the mails |as second class matter to such readers as may choose | to avail themselves of the privileges. The plan, it will | be seen, is perfectly feasible. It will do no more than give to libraries the privileges now accorded to pub- lishing houses of mailing books at low rates. i The advocates of the movement advance many ar- | guments in its favor. It is in harmony with the spirit | of the postal laws to diffuse good reading and to pro- | mote the circulation of books that tehd to public en- lightenment; the spread of library advantages is in- | timately connected with the diffusion of popular edu- cation; the people who maintain public libraries | under State or municipal laws are the same who main- Atain the postal system under national laws; matter now carried at second rate postage, or in some cases carried free, has to such rating no claim superior to that of the books of a public library; the plan will promote the circulation of good books in districts where no libraries ex right relations two important public interests, the postoffice and the public library, and thus render each more serviceable than ever to the community. The Call has repeatedly pointed out the many ad- vantages which have followed the adoption of the traveling library system in New York and other East- ern States. The plan now proposed in New England | would supplement that system and would serve an even wider field of readers. It would give.to every | | citizen within reach of a postoffice a fair opportunity to profit by the libraries maintained at public ex- pense or supported by endowments from private | munificence. It would be, in fact, a. public benefit which would cost the National Government little or nothing, and might, indeed, prove remunerative to the postoffice. Many of the leading libraries of the country have given cordial approval to the enterprise. Not only are the public libraries in favor of it, but even many of those maintained without taxation would place their books at the dispo€al of the people generally should such a cheap system of postage be established. It is to be noted, moreover, that the scheme is not alto- gether novel, as a similar system has been in opera- Thus a let- ter on the subject from the Minister of the Nether- lands s “In the Netherlands books may go from libraries of any kind by mail at book or parcel rates and the postman delivers the book without extra charge at the door of the person to whom it is ad- dressed, even in the most remote rural parts of the kingdom.” The plan will be presented to Congress at the com- ing session, and, as we have said, merits the approval of that body. There is no reason why the public | library should not have the same rights of mail fa- cilities for books as are given to publishing houses. We are an educated people and a nation of readers, and it is only fair that those who pay taxes for the | support of libraries and of the postoffice should have the benefits of both to the uttermost extent to which they can be made available. e —r—— [ 3 and home-seekers the many advantages and resources of Texas the Governor of that State A LESSON FROM TEXAS. has called an industrial convention to meet at Dallas on the 2oth of the present month. The object of the gathering is to vitalize industry in Texas and con- vince thoughtful investors of the many advantages it offers for diversified industry. It is stated the con- vention will be attended by upward of two thousand | men of affairs in the State, and will be addressed by men of national reputation who are in touch with the progress of the world. For the purpose of interesting the general public in the subject and of impressing the value of the con- vention upon all who are secking business opportu- nities, the invitations to the meeting are accom- panied by a card setting forth some of the advantages of the commonwealth, as follows: “Raw material of every description, especially cotton, is produced cheaper in Texas than anywhere else in the United States; in short, our natural advantages are second to those of no other on earth and offer superior in- ducements for the investment of capital. Of these facts every dispassionate investigator will be con- vinced. Texas is the nearest cotton field in the United States to Central and South America and the Orient. Galveston, its great harbor, occupies as com- manding a position commercially to the republics bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea | as does Constantinople to Europe, Asia and Africa, while we have direct connection by rail with the gateways of the Pacific Coast.” It is to be borne in mind that this movement in | Texas is in line with similar movements going on |in all the Southern States. Those commonwealths | which for years have been regarded as sluggish and | inert have now set to work in earnest to attract men . and capital from the North. They have already es- ‘tablished a cotton manufacturing industry which threatens that of New England, and have done also much in the direction of iron, steel and wood work. California ought to profit by the lesson that is being taught in the South. We have, indeed, no cot- ton industry to work up, but we have a large quantity of raw material .that should be manufactured here. ‘Why should there not be a concerted and resolute effort to attract to this State the attention of invest- ors?

Angellotti of San Rafael. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the most worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California met {n annual convocation in the Masonic Temple. There were present nearly 500 representatives who were assembled in the interests of 267 lodges in this jurisdic- tion. The following named grand officers were also present: Master F. M. An- gellotti, San Rafael; Deputy Grand Master Charles L. Patton, San Francisco; Senior Grand Warden James A. Foshay, Los Angeles; Juntor Grand Warden William Sewall Wells, Martinez; Grand Treasurer Johnson, Grand Chaplain Edward B. Church, Grand Orator Carroll Cook, Grand Lecturer W. H. Edwards of San Francisco; Grand Marshal John W. Boyd of Sacramento; Grand Standard Bearer Samuel Prager of Los Angeles; Grand Sword Bearer Charles W. Nut- ting of Etna; Grand Bible Bearer Wil- liam Archibald of Pilot Hill: Senifor Grand Deacon Clarence W. Kellogg of Lakeport; Junior Grand Deacon Emanuel J. Louis of San Diego; Senior Grand Steward Hermann C. Bargmann of Stockton; Junior Grand Steward James C. Ensign of Hanford; Grand Pursui- vant James Drake of Redlands; Grand' Organist Samuel D. Mayer and Grand Tyler George P. Adams of San Francisco. This is the fiftieth annual communica- tion, the first having been held in the city of Sacramento on the 7th of May, 1850. Grand Master Judge Angellott! In his annual address, which is an able docu- ment, says that there has been during tne vear a net increase of over members, something which has been exceeded but once in the history of the Grand Lodge In this State. Dispensations were granted to organize West Gate Lodge at Los Angeles, Fruit- vale Lodge at Frultvale, Carquinez Lodge at Crockett and San Jacinto ‘}Adge at San Jacinto, while Covina Lodge, to which a charter was granted b?' the pre- vious Grand Lodge, was regularly con- stituted by Senior Grand Warden James A. Foshay of Los Angeles. Arcturas Lodge and Petaluma Lodge were consoli- dated under the name of Petaluma Lodge, and Pilot Hill and Georgetown lodges were consolidated under the name of Georgetown Lodge. No lodge during the year surrendered its charter, and the financial condition is as a rule favorable. Harmony %enerl-lly exists, and in most localities there is apparent a spirit of :e?l and enthusiasm that is most grati- ying. On{y one death occurred in the ranks of the past officers of the grand body, and none in that of the sitting grand officers. The death was that of Theodore Guevara Cockrill, who was senior grand warden in 1868, During the year the Grand Lodge laid the cornarstone of the college bullglng of the Facuities of the College of Physicians and Surgeons In San Francisco, of a new Methodist Episcopal church in Red- lands, and by direction of the grand master the grand senior warden con- ducted the ceremony of laying the corner- stone of the new City at Long 8T iand masterut e grand master enforced the I er that 'prohibits the vsvo:k' gg the o lodges being carried on in any language Edward Coleman, Grand Secretary George | 875 | but that of the ritual of the Grand Lodge, which is the English language. |, The grand treasurer and grand secre- | tary presented their reports, which took | the usual course.
