This group, to which so much interest attaches, has | been bonded for sale to a lumberman from Duluth, land in the same region, covered with yellow and sugar pine, cedar and other valuable lumber and tim- ber trees. This lumberman is without sentiment in the matter, and to him the big trees mean so much value in board measure, and he will fell and scale them as his own, and their glory will be quenched | in rustic, shakes and shingles | aristocrats of the forest. birds we s if they were not the They are very old. The e singing in their foliage when the Jew were unable to sing the songs of Zion in captivity and their harps were silent by the waters of Babylon. But they are worth no more for lumber on that ac- ount A worthy movement has been started in this cit to save them from the saw. The ladies of the Cali- fornia Club have instituted measures to that end and are influencing the Federal Government to interfere. Resolutions have been introduced in both branches of Congress directing the Secretary of the Interior to negotiate for the purchase of the grove as a Federal | reservation. But Congress st make an appropria- tion for that purpose, and that means a very deliber- ate proceeding, if it be accomplished at all. The grove is outside the lines of the existing forest rescr- vations, and its administration by the Federal Gov- ernment would require a establishment. Federal processes may well be used to ar- | rest and hold the matter where it is for a few months separate | However, | If the resolution of direction to the Secretary of the | Interior ¢ he may authorize | proceedings to ¢ s, the institution of ndemn the property for a public | use, and this proceeding, perhaps without an appro- | priation, might hold the grove until the Legislature | mieets next winter, when the State could assume -the matter by consent of Congress and buy the property as a State park. This occurs to us as the easiest and most feasible way to save those priceless trees from destruction. The ladies of the California Club will have the sup- port of the Sierra Club, the Waters and Forests So- ciety, the State Board of Trade and all other organi- zations in the State which have an economic or sen- | timental interest in the matter. It is evident that in a public sense the only present resort is to Congress. That failing. recourse may be had to our own people, to get the money advanced to buy the option held by | the enterprising gentleman from Duluth, and await the action of the Legislature. It seems incredible that the destruction of the grove should be permitted, but it is in private ownership, and the owner may do what he will with it, independent of all public ss proceedings are begun to condem his private property for a public use hority, un There is as- surance that the owner, who has given the lumberman an option, is in sympathy with efforts to preserve the grove, but his sympathy is one thing and his neces- sities quite another. It is said that he has made soms endeavor heretofore to pass the trees to public own- ership for public use. It is to be regretted that he did not make his wish in the matter known to some one of the organizations now inferested in the sub- ject, for it is certain that they would .at once have taken up the matter and avoided this crisis, which finds-them in such difficulties as surround the appeal | to Congress and the risk of waiting for the Legisla- imre. | e e In the present financial muddle in which the ci v | is deeply involved the old-time excuse of loading jupun the shoulders of the men who have retired from | office the burden of blame is not available. The men who are now floundering in dismay are responsible | for the policy which is being worked out in confu- | sion. T —— | | | O more persistent in their chasing, or are more subject to illusory rainbows, than that | class of people who call themselves ‘“conservative | Democrats.” The object of their pursuit in chasing jn:c rainbows that shine in upon their imaginations is 'to get away from Bryan. Every time they see any- { thing that glitters in the upper air, or along the dis- Ll:mt horizon, they think it a sign from heaven that | Bryanism shall be no mere, and rush toward-it with | all the devotion of a fanatic’s zeal. | If anything in Democratic politics can be ac- counted as sure, the renomination of Bryan.by the | national convention of the party this year is that thing. Time and again efforts have been made to raise new is- | sues for the party or to find new leaders. The men who | have engaged in such efforts have not been lacking in | political astuteness. To that end Hill and Tammany | have combined in New York, Gorman has lent his { aid in Maryland, and many an influential Southerner | has co-operated; but all efforts have been in vain, [ Still the delusive hope survives, and works so po- | tently upon the minds that cherish it that now at this | late day it paints another rainbow on the political | sky. The ardent conservatives are persuaded they perceive a movement in the West for the nomination of Olney. Had the Olney rainbow appeared in New England it would have been a not unreasonable vision; or had the western glow shown the face of some other con- | servative there would have been at least a seeming | reliability in it; but the sudden fancy of a2 movement in the West for the nomination of Olney is something | like lunacy. The fantastic vision, however, has ! among persons who are capable of discussing it with { great gravity and decorum. Thus, for example, the New York Post says Indiana is the center of the movement for Olney’s nomination, and proceeds to moralize upon it thus: 3 “Probably no such good fortune is in store for the ‘Dzmocrats and the country as the nomination of LUMBERING THE CALAVERAS TREES ‘ HAT has been known as the Calav_cras Brove | traditions of public policy and private character and of big trees, the Sequoia gigantea, is about to | apility 3 : | Sequoia gigantea has come to be the accepted clas- | Minn., who has acquired also a large tract of forest | F all the rainbow chasers of our time none are | its votarigs Richard Olney for President in opposition to Mr. | McKinley. This would call the party back to its best in its official personnel and would promise *he | Republicans, in the campaign and in their future ad- | ministration, the healthful stimulus of enlightened and lpatriotic opposition, as to methods and details, on | common ground of settled economic principles and |loyalty to indisputable national duties and interests. | The Democratic party will have to - endure further | chastening under Bryan before it will be fit for such | leadership as Olney's. But the mere talk of him, | especially in the West, is a sign of comfort.” | If the mere talk of Olney in Indianapolis be com- forting, then comfort is so cheap no one need grudge | it to those who are content to receive it in that shapz. In the meantime Bryan continues to do the talking !x’or the party and apparently no one is doing the | thinking. Between the blind Bryanites on the one side and the dreaming rainbow chasers on the other, the poor old Democratic donkey has but a slight chance to escape being driven into the ditch at every | turn of the road. Dt Dt D SO Db A D aBa AA B AA A AAiy At Ak B A large and influential club has been organized for | the single purpose of striving to benefit the entire | city. The members might wisely interest themselves | in coaching Mayor Phelan’s infant class in city gov- ernment how to run the municipality out of debt | without making it a prey to night marauders. ‘ THE CZAR AND THE FINNS. W HEN the Czar rested from his labors for the pacification of Europe and the disarming of the nations, and found recreation in the easy pas- time of suppressing the independence of Finland, he graciously conceded to the Finns permission to con- tinue their ancient Diet at Helsingfors, where their 1 delegates might meet, elect officers, debate and 'go | through the forms of parliamentary government. | That Diet has recently assembled, and the peace-’ "lm-iug Czar has sent down, for the edification of the | members, a speech from the throne which wouid hardly be unworthy of the Kaiser himseli. | The address begins with the statement: “I have | summoned you for the consideration of various | measures relative to the local conditions of the Gran Duchy of Finland, the object of which is to promote the well being of the country. Of late various mis- fortunes have occurred and a portion of Finland has suffered by a failure of the crops, resulting in immi- | gration on a considerable scale. I hope by means of | the measures before you, and with the aid of private | benevolence, to place the people in a position to en- | dure the trials sent by God.” | All of that sounds most excellent. There is a lmarked change in the tone and sentiment of the im- | perial speech, however, when it proceeds to set forth The first proposi- | ) the measures proposed for relief. | tion is that the Diet shall enact laws to prevent”the | emigration of agricultural laborers, and the second is | that steps shall be taken to put people having no | property in a position to acquire possession of land. | With that measure there is to be introduced into | Finland the tactics the Russians have employed else- | where when seeking to destroy the ancient liberties of | a people. By promising to give persons without | property an opportunity to become land-owners, tiey divide the oppressed people into hostile camps, ar- 5r.-symg the landless against the landlords, thus pre- venting anything like unity of effort on behalf of lib- erty. It is a cunning trick in the statecraft of im- perialism, and costs the Russian Government noth- ing, for when once the class antagonism has been aroused the people have no leaders and the landlords no followers, so neither party ever gets strong enough to demand that the Government fulfill its promises The closing paragraph of the address is significant | of the change that has been brought about in the na- | ture of the Diet, and shows it is no longer regarded | | by the Government as an independent body. The Czar says: “Opinions which are not connected with | the above questions, or do not concern questions of general imperial interest, must not be brought up for discussion in the Diet. Opinions of this kind were uttered in the last Diet and aroused among the | pcople a depressing feeling of unrest for which there I'was no ground. A repetition of this will raise doubt las to whether the institution of the estates is com- | patible with present conditions.” It is to the credit of Finland that even in this dark hour she does not lack for men with courage suffi- | cient to proclaim liberty in defiance of a foe so cun- | ning and so strong. When the address from the throne had been read the Marshal of the Province, speaking in behalf of the nobles, declared the Finns regard seli-government as a vital condition, and that many were emigrating not to seek food, but to find JImmcs in a land of liberty. The Archbishop of Aba, | | speaking for the clergy, warned the Czar: “Fate changes quickly. The civilized nations soon turn | from empty megalomania and lust of power to work for truth and right, lest ruin come upon them. The deeply longed for era of peace will appear when jus- | tice has prevailed.” The spokesman for the burghers | added the final word that illegal measures estranged | men and checked the development of nations, and | that neither Russia nor Finland would profit any- | thing by the measures proposed by the Government. Thus the sitwation stands, and the Czar will doubtless conclude from the tone of the speakers that even a Diet by sufferance is incompatible with present condi- | tions. A project is on foot to establish in this city a coni- ! mercial museum for the display of the products of the world. This ought to suggest itself as an excellent opportunity for us to exhibit plaster casts of some of the political products now reigning in the City Hall. The glorious privilege of lying like gentlemen seems to have its drawbacks in a notorious case now | on trial in one of our local courts. The “gentlemen” concerned seem to have the unfortunate faculty of getting caught. If court scenes in the City Hall continue to be as warlike as they have been of late it might not be amiss ;for the new Chief of Police to detail a few patrolmen for garrison duty in the antique pile. The park suicide who left a dying admonition tc his wife to beware of a man who drinks had evidently quenched his thirst tg his satisfaction, and didn’t care to have his successor iollow his example. If the Supervisors follow the lead of their Finance Committee in reference to street lights dark lanterns and portable artillery will be the fashionable equip- ment of night pedestrians after March 1. The preacher who is pleading for patronage on the score that he is a reformed gambler and drunkard evidently thinks that San Franciscans take kindly o indecent spectacles in a sacred cause. ——— “Fighting Joe Wheeler” has at last got a job where his martial spirit can revel in the clash of arms.

The reason that 190 is not a leap year Is because it is one of the one- hundredth years that cannot be divided by 400 without a remainder. The rule is not that a huncr:g:lh“yenr may be divided by 4 without a inder, but it IP lies to such hundredth years as can be di \'?dea by 400, ears Y It so happens that the leap coincide with the years that are aivisible by 4, and thus they are known.

S e SHIP RELIANCE GETS PLUM AR Bl THREE SUGAR BOATS RELEASED FROM QUARANTINE. ki it Naval Transport Badger May Be Used as a Dispatch Boat to Alaska by the Army—Water Front Notes. e T Freight rates have been advancing steadily for weeks past and vesterda they reached a figure which has not been touched since August, 1857. At that time James G. Fair was In the middle of his big wheat deal and every vessel that could carry grain was being chartered. Willlam Dresbach was then acting as agent for the Fair syndicate. He char- tered the British wooden ship County of Yarmouth for 41s 3d per ton. It was never | as the bubble burst and the vessel turned back to her own- ers, much to the disgust of Captain Swanson, her master. Later the County of Yarmouth was glad to accept 31s, at which figure she loaded for Cork. paid, however, The big four-masted iron bark rmmnce] was yesterday chartered by Eppinger & Co. at 41s 3d and will begin loading for England in a few days. There is no question at all but what her charter will stand, as the advance in rates is the re- sult of a steady growth in trade and a consequent scarcity - of ships. At the present time there are only two disen- gaged vessels In port—the gritish bark Caithness-shire, which arrived last Sun- day from Australia, and the Germa bark Paul Isenberg, which arrived Mon- day from Honolulu. The Isenberg will probably go back to the islands for a load of sugar, but the Caithness-shire, being a small and handier vessel than the Re- liance, will get an advance on the figure pald that vessel. The County of Yar- mouth, which received 418 3d in 1557, was the Reliance, which ceived the same figure yesterday, is tons net burden. The demand for ships has increased the demand for men to man them, and in consequence sallors are scarce. The ships E. B. Sutton and St. Francis, which will go from here to Honolulu to load su- gar for New York, had to pay the men 45 a month to the islands, an advance of a month. From the lslands to New York the rate will only be $20 a-month, but the chances are nearly all the men will desert at Honolulu and new crews will have to be shipped. The Crown of Denmark had considerable trouble get- ting a crew and there Is a probability that an advance in deepwater wages wiil follow in a few weeks. The bark S. C. Allen, barkentine S. G. Wilder and brig John D. Spreckels were released from quarantine yvesterday and were taken to the sugar refinery. Ricidllas After the Badger. . Captain Barneson of the transport ser- vice spent all of yesterday at Mare Island. 2458 He made & thorough examination of the | naval transport Badger and will make a report upon her to the Government. Should she prove suitable the army au- thorities will purchase her from the navy and use her as a dispatch boat between here and Alaska. The navy has no more usge for her and as she is a good service- able boat the chances are she will be transferred to the army. William Doyle and Peter O'Brien were locked up in the Harbor Police Station on a charge of disturbing the peace by Po- liceman Clifford yesterday. They were uarreling, and when the officer asked them to be quiet they attacked him. Clif- ford knocked them down with his club and then handcuffed them. As both had slight scalp wounds they were taken to | the Harbor Hospital, where both attacked | the officer again. They were quieted once more and then were put out of harm’'s way. The big tramp steamer Algoa reached Yokohama on February 18. As she left here January 22 she must have taken about ten days longer to make the run than any of the regular steamers. The British ship Andrina, which was wrecked In Policarpo Cove, Terra del Fuego, has been salved at great expense, The vessel is a total loss. The Andrina left Antwerp on March 2, 1598, and was lost the following August. This is the “unknown’ vessel nearly every ship that ut into Port Stanley has reported ing lost somewhere off the Horn. —_— ARGUND THE _ CORRIDORS Judge I. F.
