Since the city, by order of Mayor Phelan through his Board of Supervis- ors, has been thrown into utter darkness after midnight outrages have been alarmingly frequent. Citizens have been made the prey of desperate criminals operating under cover of a darkness that would not be tolerated in any other civilized city in the world. Rbbbery has been rampant. Murder has been added to the crimes that stalk unchecked through the darkened streets. The police have been utterly incompetent to prevent these crimes or to apprehend the criminals. The midnight marauders sink back into the darkness out of which they came, and, unpunished, add another bloody, desperate item to the criminal municipal policy of economy forced upon the people of this city by their Mayor. Protest after protest has been voiced in vain. Every citizen who, by any of innumer- able necessitics or exigencies of life, may be compeiled to traverse the darkened streets of who have been made possible by the Mayor’ [ the city may be the victim next to be robbed and perhaps murdered by the desperate men s policy of false economy.

When Mayor Phelan decreed that this city should be thrown into absolute darkness he decided that there should be a reign of terror in San Francisco and that each decent cit- izen possessed the right to arm himself and protect himself from the assassin thieves which Mayor Phelan licensed to ply their trade under the shadows of night. When the evils of throwing the city into nightly darkness wer e pointed out to Mayor Phelan he sneeringly replied that all decent citizens should be home at midnight, and that he was, as chiel executive of San Francisco, responsible to its people. Is he willing to accept now the consequences of that responsibility? Is he ready to stand sponsor for the brood of thieves, thugs, robbers and murderers which he has he willing that upon his shoulders shall re city are paying in life and property and in petrated?

Did he need to add to his sneering affectation of respcnsibility an insult to every reputable man and woman whose duties or necessities force them out of their homes after | midnight, where the policy of Mayor Phelan makes them prey for every rascal and high- wayman who cares to roam in the darkness? This outrage has Become a serious one to the peopl= of San Francisco. A vicious premium has been placed upon crime. No family in the city may be sure that out of the darkness of the night death will not come from a| robber’s pistol or a thug’s bludgeon. Mayor Phelan has accepted the responsibility for all this. Let the people of San Fran- | cisco force him in some tangible way to accept its consequences. right to dictate the policy of municipal departments and to remove any official who, in his }:{:{"gd judgment, may be irresponsible. Is there no He has arrogated the thing in the charter which gives to the people | of this city the right to remove an irresponsible Mayor? 1s there no municipal law which protects citizens of San Francisco from the actions of a man who makes gutter politics out of his high office, and removes Commissioners because they do their duty or refuse to truckle to his private interests? Is there no method by which a chief executive of this city, who attempted first to place the people of San Francisco at the mercy of a blackmailing corrupt and corrupting police administration and then makes them the prey of midnight thieves and thugs, may be impeached? It seems high time for the people of San Fran- cisco to discover whether there is or not. TRACK GAMBLERS AT WORK. HILE the people of San Francisco may well be W pleased with the victory obtained over the racetrack gamblers and with the action of the Supervisors in refusing to grant a license for track gambling, it must not be supposed the gamblers have They have merely changed their tactics. Perceiving that in the face of a resoluts public opinion they can gain nothing by an open fight, they have resorted to secrecy and are now trying by indirection to obtain a license for gambling later on. For the purpose of conducting this secret campaign the track gamblers have engaged the services of a pro- fessional lobbyist, Frank McQuade, and he is now at work seeking to obtain for his employers the privi- leges they desire. The McQuade method is that of forming combinations and bringing their influence to bear upon the Supervisors. He is diligently search- ing, first to find persons who have more or less of a | pull with different members of the board, and then to find means by which he can induce those persons to | exert their influence on behalfi of the racetrack | sharpers. Lobbying is a trade like another, and men who have mastered the profession know many a trick of which the public is unaware. For that reason the efforts of lobbyists are not to be despised, no matter how hope- less may seem the task in which they are engaged. The people of San Francisco will have to continue on guard. Track gambling is an enormously profitable trade. Unscrupulous men can afford to pay large prices for gambling privileges, and, moreover, they can afford to work and wait a long time for success. The scheme for which underground wires are now being laid by the astute lobbyist of the gang may not be sprung upon the public for months to come. It 1s a waiting game and a cunning game, and if the people be unwary or neglectful they may yet find themselves cheated of the profits of the victory they have just won. B PP Salisbury’s suggestion to the Royal Academy that the war in Stuth Africa, fought with smokeless pow- der by armies separated from one another by about a mile, with the rank and file hidden behind rocks, .will afford painters a good opportunity to improve and advance their art, was decidedly light and gay, as be- fits an after-dinner talk. Had his Lordship been seri- ous, however, he would probably have noted that newspaper artists have solved the difficulties of th subject, and by making sketches and taking photo- graphs on the field have shown there are as many artistic situations in war now as there ever were. Man | is always picturesque when fighting, even when he | fights in khaki. The Emperor of Austria has appointed Kaiser Wil- liam to the rank of field marshal in the Austrian army, and that is said to be a higher position than the Kaiser holds in the German army. The Kaiser will nevertheless continue to serve with the Germans and use the Austrian rank for ornament only. The Ger- man salary is }lighcr. ——ie The bitterness with which several claimants are fighting for the position of Tax Collector of this city has created a false impression that some independence attaches to the person who may win. His Honor the Mayor is still the ringmaster of the municipal circus. The Southern Pacific Company has given another reason fer it to be remembered in anything but loving memory. A Federal Judge has ordered it to pay dam- ages for mutilating a man in Alameda, and it intends to fight to the highest court in the land. g There is a growing belief that as soon as they have settled with the Boers, Bobs and Buller will have a fight to a finish with each other to determine which is champion. THE AWFUL PLIGHT IN INDIA, ORRORS upon horror’s head accumulate in H India. Cholera has been added to the other i pestilence which, with the dread bubonic plague, inflict the famine-stricken people. The calamity has | now become by far the most awful which has befallen | mankind in recent times. In comparison with this appalling infliction all else that has come by fires, | floods, earthquakes and famines has been slight. Never has there been since the Dark Ages such an ex- tensive destruction of human life, and never has that destruction been accomplished by so much of wretch- | edness and suffering. i | In a recent review of the situation the London “ Chronicle gave the following table of the distribution | and the extent of the famine: - Popoulation Number on | | Province, Affected. Relief Works, J Bombay and Sindh «o 20,000,000 950,000 | Punjab . 9,000,000 178,000 Central P 1,441,000 286,000 107,000 Rajputana ........ 337,000 | Central India States. 83,000 Bombay Native State 233,000 Baroda 63,000 Nortnwest Provinces. 8,000 Punjab Native States. 3,000 Lotal .o AR o 75,000,000 8,784,000 | The area of country affected covers upward of 500,- | 000 square miles, being a much larger area than was | ever before stricken since the country has been under | British control; but the real measure of the severity of the infliction is not in the extent of territory which it covers, but in the intensity of the famine, in the approach to an absolute lack of food. In the heaviest of previous famines the number of persons engaged in relief work was about 1,500,000, while now, as the figures quoted show, relief work has been given to more than double that number. As if everything had conspired against the starving the Imperial Government charged with the responsi- bility oktheir welfare is involved in a costly war which not only engages the energies of the Government it- self but so absorbs the minds of the people that the attention which otherwise would be given to the sui- ferers is directed tG the seat of war. Thus, while more than $7,500,000 was contributed by private charity for the relief of the sufferers from the famine of 1897, the amount raised in that way for present relief has hardly reached the sum of $500,000. Of course more will be given, not only among the British people and colo- nists but throughout the civilized world; but, how- | ever large may be the sums that chafity and humanity contribute, they will fall far short of the amount of relief needed. —— The ‘charter of Greater New York is not old, but already a commission has been appointed to revise it. The thing appears to be full of provisions which are about as objectionable as embalmed beef. UBGRRL N. P.

Whether this story had any foundation or not, there is no question that the relations between the syndicate and Mr. Keene were severed, and that the attack on Third Avenue in February last, which broke the stock ffom 106 to 43%, was en- gineered by the Metropolitan syndicate to puntsb Mr. Keene for his alleged betrayal of .the former Metropolitan pool.. Mm Keene's losses in this maneuver are said to have been very heavy. They are usually_placed at $2,%00,000. After the last battle Mr. Keene's health gave way. NEWS OF NAVIES. Tt has been discovered at Devonport that the 11,000 gallons of olive oil reported missing were not stolen, as suspected. An investigation revealed the fact that the storage tank leaked and the oil had seeped through several feet of concrete foundation and saturateu the soil. Five British naval officers have been charged by the editor of a paper at Si- monstown with having assaulted him. The officers had appedred at his office de- manding an apology for certain alleged false statements made in the paper. On his refusal to retract he was marched down to the jetty and pushed overboard, after which he was permitted to go home, dripping. The civil action instituted de- mands $5000 damages. A new eleven-inch gun cast at the Osaka arsenal was tried with success last month. Three rounds were fired at a range of 4900 feet and one round was fired sea- ward, the shell falling at a distance of 39,400 feet, or about 6.15 miles. The am- munition, being of home manufacture, was rather defective, still the shell pene- trates a sixteen-inch steel plate at 328 feet distance. Gunmaking of large calibers in Japan was only begun in November, 1895, As a naval power Turkey stands at the bottom of the list, notwithstanding the re- spectable number of ships which* consti- tute its navy on paper. All the armored ships are obsolete and the unarmored ves- sels are in a state of decrepitude from want of ordinary care. There are seven central-battery ships ranging from 1320 tons down to 2050 tons, bullt hetween 1861 and 1874; their armor Is ordinary iron, of which the largest has tweive inches, the others six to nine inches. Two of these, the Mesodieh of 9120 tons and the Assar-i- Teopik are now at a shipyard in Italy un- der reconstruction. The four barbette ironclads of 6400 tons are about thirty-six years old and have only 35%-inch iron armor on their sides. It will be readily understood that even the heaviest armored vessel is casily penetrated by the modern six-fnch rifle at a range of 2000 yards. Of the alleged fleet of unarmored vessels five are building at Turkish dockyards and the remainder, comprising seven of va- rious types, are comparatively new ves- sels, but in the hands of the Turkish naval administration have long since become en- tirely useless. It will be remembered that during the recent war between Turkey ana Greece the Turkish admiral dared not leave the Dardanelles to meet three small , Grecian war vessels.

Great indignation was manifested in this city this noon at the arrival of the advance guard of a horde of Japanese, who have been employed by Poorman & Hastings, who are running the Horseshoe Bend hydraulic mine on the Yuba River, just below the Delhi, at Columbia Hill. The outfit consisted of eight horses, drawing two large wagons. In addition to the gang of Japanese, the freight consisted of Japanese , coal, iron, steel, hydraulic water gate, drills, etc. One of the Japs who could make:himself understood stated that they were to re- cefve one dollar per day and board themselves.
