Crosette, an old California journalist, to the effect that in the East, quite generally, it is | believed that Southern California, meaning that part of the State below the Tchachapi Pass, is all there is of this State. In the East it is believed, he says, that to that section are confined our climate, our fruits, our productive capacity, our commercial en- terprise and prospects, and, in effect, all the material | clements that make 2 State. | t of Mr. Crosette te Southern Cali- fornia upon the gencrality of its excellent advertise- | ment as the whole thing. If t We can add our testimony to tha that this ic the case, and cong is Eastern opinion were true it would be glory enough to make a State to have such a section South ornia, not as so in the long run the State is -d by the error. The harm is done to the many who des ck homes here and leave that desire unsatisfied because they look at the map and refrain from seeking what they want in a State that has so small a desirable area as Southern out and in; re to s California. It becomes the duty of all public-spirited media of information, therefore, to stand for pan- California. No section has any monopoly of our Physically the State justly celebrated climate beautiful and e I of luxury and neces: is i ve of the same articles ity throughout its entire nine hundred miles of length, and the same sun kisses it into blushing with the same fruits- and flowers from border to border. The ascription of peculiar quali- ties to Southern California did not originate with | old Californi. It was put in action for pelfish | purposes by the great company of Eastern real estate agents, who staked Southern California off in town lots and boomed the great speculation which for a time the Mississippi scheme of John Law, or the morus multicaulus speculation, which was to dress every American in home-grown silk. It was these Eastern real estate experts who used to tell renderfeet that San Francisco Bay froze solid every winter, and that ice and snow locked all life in cold storage in Northern California for half of every year. It was speculative fibbing, but it left 2 deep impres- sion. upon which the Eastern error complained of is based to this da Mr. Crosette advises 2 Northern California move- | ment to enlighten Eastern opinion, but we demur to | that. What is wanted is a pan-California movement, in which north and south will cordially join, to do justice to the whole State. . In the State Board of Trade this plan will be found already in action. There the whole State, from Los Angeles to the Sis- kiyous represented. The products, maps and statistics of every county are kept for distribution, and exact justice done to every section. If that | plan have put into it the exquisite enterprise which has characterized Southern California every section will be benefited and the prosperity of the State in- creased The whole State is like a periectly beautiful woman. But if the beauties of such a woman are divided, and one is asked to be cnraptured over her dissected eves, or amputated nose, or shorn hair, rapture does not report for duty. So it is with California. To be appreciated her beauties and resources miust be exhibited as a whole, as the most -inspiring . and illumineting unit that nature has ever produced. So exhibited to the unfortunate people whose lot has been cast elsewhere, they will hasten hither, with their household gods and their enterprise and indus- try, and the whole State will make their coming profitable to them and will benefit by their prosperity.

THE FRANTIC EXAMINER. N its efforts to prove some one else as bad as I itself the Examiner is quite frantic, and, as usual, illogical. It is reproducing from The Call cam- paign cartoons of Mr. Bryan, and tries to represent them as the same in spirit and purpose as its own lampoons and cartoons of “Willie and His Papa” and “The McKinley Miustrels,” published persistently after the campaign was over and up to the very morning of the day on which the President was shot. Our cartoons of Mr. Bryan were legitimate cam- paign material. He had provoked that style of graphic argument by his own attacks upon his oppo- nents. He had called them “hogs” and said that his mission was to put rings in their noses, so that they could not root: He had characterized a large section of the republic as “the enemy’s country,” and by his forcible and fantastic oratory had assumed positions that were best answerable by ridicule, a weapon that he often used himseli. When told that many Gold Democrats were following Richard Olney in his camp he said: “Had I known that so many were coming 1 would have had a large number of candy fatted calves made with which to reward these re- turning prodigals.” In countless instances he used the weapons of satire and ridicule in promoting his political fortunes, and the same weapons were turned against him, never in malice, but in humorous illus- tration of his peculiarities. Between such campaign methods and the Exam- iner's steady, stealthy and malign pursuit of Presi- dent McKinley there was all the difference between a joke and a murder. He had been elected to a second term by the largest popular majority ever given to a candidate for that great office. candidacy nor his second had he characterized his opponents. ever offensively Atter his first election his action was that of President of the whole people. He invited the South to sit above the sait at the national table, and commissioned Lee and Wheeler and restored them to the place in the regular army they had resigned to fight for the Confederac Never for a moment did his patience or his amiabil- ity disappear. The Democratic members of Congress in personal ‘intercourse found him a considerate friend, and his popularity with them was as great as with his own party. In fine, he never said nor did a partisan thing from kis first nomination to the day of his death to justify the malice with which he was created by the Hearst papers, and they cannot excuse nor softea their brutality by reprinting campaign pic- tures which were humorously intended to reduce Mr. Bryan's pesition to its ultimate absurdity. After his second election President McKinley's career had a perspective of only four years. He could not be chosen again. purpose in personally assailing and brutally abusing him. The Examiner attacks by cartoon and text were not partisan nor political. They were entirely personal, directed against the man and intended to degrade him in the eyes of his countrymen and the world. They were more than this. They repre- sented him as the enemy of the plain people, the avaricious destroyer of their happiness, the greedy robber of their substance, the foolish-minded tool of their enemies. In all the history of cartoons, from the days of Gillray to these 'days, there were never K.<uc1| incitements to the murder of a man as lay in | the Examiner’s picture: In all the history of lam- poons from the days of Cobbett there were never printed such reckless, malicious, murder-provoking lampoons as the Examiner editorials against the Neither the “Cri du Peuple” nor any other hysterical publication that preceded the French Revolution ever exceeded the malign influence of the Examiner against law, government and the rights of person and property. All this is of black record, and so black that it | may superimpose the ridicule of others in text and picture a foot deep upon it, and the black purpose of it will show through. o T At a recent meeting of the presbytery in Kansas City one of the ministers said in the course of a ser- mon: **‘We are living in the last stage of the world’s existence. Man will grow so wicked that God will not be able to-stand his sinning longer and will then destroy the world. God will then make his children white as snow by making all things new.” The state- ment may be taken as an illustration of what the pastors think of the possibility of reforming Kansas | City. AN ELECTRICAL PIONEER. UNDEE, Scotland, has just unveiled a monu- D ment erected to the memory of James Bow- man Lindsay, who his fellow citizens proudly claim to have been the world’s pioneer in applying clectricity to the uses of mankind. It is said of him that he anticipated by half a century not only elec- tric lighting and electric power distribution, but wire- less telegraphy as well. In a brief biographical sketch of Lindsay given in the London Chronicle it is stated that in 1834 he promulgated his views of electric energy and its util- ity, and .made experiments in sending messages In the same year he went to London and submitted his theories and his experiments to the British Association, but nothing resulted from the visit. One of the scientists of that time who served on the committee appointed to in- vestigate Lindsay’s inventions is still living, and in explanation of the failure to profit by them recently said that there was in 1834 no demand for such ap- pliances. He went on to argue that an invention to be of service must be produced at the appropriate moment. If it be premature it is useless. Lindsay had the misfortune to be ahead of his time. Instead of being hailed by the whole civilized world as Mar- coni is to-day, and gaining honors and being en- riched by his invention,. he died obscure and gets nothing but a monument in his native town. The fortune of the Scottish inventor is by no means singular. Many a supposed new invention of our time is but a revival of something that was known ages ago but was useless in the civilization that then prevailed. Of course any credit given to Lindsay by no means detracts from the honor due to Marconi. There is no evidence that the experiments of 1834 resulted in anything which would be of practical value even now. Lindsay managed to strike out theories that were far in advance of his time, but Marconi, in competition with hundreds of the brightest scientists and mechanical inventors, has been first to devise a system of wircless telegraphy that meets the need of his age and is practically val- aable. It is, in fact, the achievement of Marconi that has been the occasion of the erection of the monument to Lindsay. The Scotchman and his in- ventions were forgotten even in his own land until the marvels wrought by the young Italian revived an interest in the bygone experimenter and made, his townsmen feel that something of honor is due to’the Neither in his first | | domestic affairs.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRACY. ASSACHUSETTS Democrats, it seems, M have got together—at least the Boston pa- pers agree that the convention manifested something like a genuine harmony between the two wings that were flapping against one another so vio- lently as long as Bryan was to the fore. Josiah Quincy was nominated by a vote so overwhelming that it was hardly worth while for the opponent to move to make it unanimous, and so strong was the sentiment of union that it was not disturbed even when George Fred Williams declared: “The Democracy of this country is absolutely pledged to the essential policy and the spirit and soul that ani- mated the party in the convention of 1896. It cannot be stirred from that foundation.” It goes without saying that the platform adopted by the convention set national /politics aside. That known to Democracy in these days. It enables the candidates to skip the silver question in their speeches, ‘as well as every other national issue, and thus greatly simplifies the process of bringing all the elements of the party together. It is not to be sup- posed, however, that a Boston convention would set those issues aside in the crude way in which the thing was done in Ohio. A little more tact was displayed and a finer diplomacy exhibited in removing Bryan- ism. The platform says: ‘“We believe that in the present campaign attention should be concentrated chiefly upon our State government and State legis- lation; its paramount issues are those that relate to In place of colonial imperialism abroad we offer the prople progressive democracy at home.” In a public letter to which we directed attention a few days ago Mr. Quincy, the candidate for Gov- crnor, declared that while Democracy would stand for the laboring classes against capital, the party should adopt a platform that would be acceptable to conservatives. As he’was unquestionably consulted in the framing of the platform upon which he has been nominated, it is interesting to note what he There are seventeen of these demands, and by the chairman of the committee on platiorms they were thus stated in brief: 1. Individual rights must be safeguarded by law against monopolistic power; communism of capital must be met by State control. 2. Personal liberty must be preserved. 3. A responsible Governor should be at the head of all administration; the executive council should be abol- ished. 4. Every branch of State government should be a de- partment; the head of every department should repre- sent it upon the floor of the Legislature. ¢ 5. The growing evil of special legislation must be abated. 6. Legislative sessions should be curtailed. 7. Legislative measures should be subject to referen- dum to the people whenever duly petitiomed for. 8. A single primary election for all parties should be established in place of separate caucuses. 9. All candidates voted for in districts should be nom- irated by direct vote; optional direct nomination of can- didates for State offices should be provided for. 10. The United States Senate is becoming a danger- | ous oligarchy; Senators should be nominated and elected | 11. The suffrage is a duty, not merely a privilege; | compulsory voting is desirable. 12. Progressive labor legislation should be revived. 13. The right of home rule should be given to cities. Public ownership of public utilities is demanded. 14. City governments should be given larger legisla- | tive powers, 15. Metropolitan commissions should be reorganized to represent the people and taxpayers of the metropoli- | tan district. 16. Boston harbor must be at once improved, by State | action if necessary. 17. A constitutional convention should be held. It will be seen that while most of these might be fairly called conservative, there are several of them that go as far as the Populists themselves ever went. The call for protecticn to individual rights against “monopolistic power,”. the assertion that the “‘com- munism of capital” must be met by State control, | | i | | “dangerous oligarchy,” may seem to Mr. Quincy to be conservative phrases, but to the country at large they will sound very much like the old Bryam clamors against corporations znd the rich. In what way | monopolistic power is crushing individual rights in Massachusetts is more than we know. and as Mr. Quincy intends it strictly as a State issue perhaps it is no concern to Californians; but none the less it is interesting as an illustration of the kind of platform on which the Democrats are uniting. It would seem that Williams was not far wrong when he declared the party still breathes the spirit of the Bryanite con- vention of 18g6. THE McKINLEY MEMORIAL. URING the week that followed the death of D President’ McKinley there were started for the erection of a memorial to him almost as many movements as there are cities in the United States. Even a considerable number of compara- tively small towns undertook some such enterprise. Certainly there is not a State in the Union that did not have one or more of them. These movements were the natural results of the sorrow of the people, and there is nothing to be said against any of them. It is inevitable, however, that most of them should die away and be heard of no more. Only a few of them will live to go forward to the accomplishment of such memorials as will attest to future generations the love which to-day the American people feel for the great statesman so cruelly murdered while in the administration of his high office. Among those that are now reasonably certain of ultimate success is the movement started in San Francisco. The contributions already made to the fund give ample assurance of coming success. It is gratifying, moreover, that most of the donations have come in comparatively small amounts, showing ‘that the movement is supported by the people as a whole, and that when the memorial is completed it will in the truest sense represent the popular heart of San Francisco. The one danger to be feared now is that for one reason or another the movement may be permitted to drag until its original impulse is largely lost. The bad results of delay in a cause of this kind were strik- ingly shown in the history of the movement started to erect a monumental tomb for Grant in New York, That work was eventually accomplished in a majestic manner, and the tomb is now the greatest structure of its kind in the world; but so long were the New Yorkers esgaged in raising money for it that at times it seemed as if the mcnument would never be com- pleted at all. Let us do things more promptly. Be- fore the holidays come we ought to have in the memorial fund a sum large enough to justify the committee in beginning to get plans for the monu- ment, so that within a reasonable time we. may see | bus in Marin County, with an inte the work completed 2nd standing as an ornament to our city and a proof of the patriotic liberality of our memory of the man whq fifty years ago did in some | people. BAY SHORE TO TIBURON O | ConTRACTOR SHEAES i NE hundred and wmore promi- nent citizens of Marin County. gathered at Tiburon yesterday morning, officially opened the bay shore road from Tiburon to San Rafael. About the noon hour they rested under the trees at California City. Then they forgot the “magnificent county high- way"’ for a time and opened more bottles than even the very hot day provoked. The ride over the new road was the busi- ness of the celebration. The lunch at Callfornia. City was the entertainment. Both were successful. At 10 o'clock sharp, seemingly every per- ion of buggies and other vehicles of nondescript character, crowded the Tib- uron depot. From several points of the county, but particularly from San Ra- fael, those interested in the opening of the new road had collected for the first official ratification of a work that all pro- nounced the chief pride of Marin.

The forest that is on the hillside east, south and west of the Affiliated Colleges covers 194 acres. It is part of the San Miguel Ranch that was purchased by the late Adolph Sutro after making his millions by means of the Sutro tunnel on the Com- stock. He named the place Mount Par- nassus, after the mountain of that name hocis, greatly celebrated among the ancients and regarded by the Greeks as the central point of their country. Mr. Sutro was a great bellever in the idea that for every tree that is destroyed two should-be planted, and to show that trees will grow on barren hills he at the time he inaugurated tree planting in this city and on Goat Island a quarter of a century ago set out thousands of trees on Mount Parnassus, with the result that is notice- able to-day.

The coffin, with the excep- tion of the glass and trimmings, is incin- erated with the body, except in the case of metallic caskets, then the body is re- moved from the casket. There is no odor while the body is being consumed. When the casket containing the body is placed on the carriage just before being sent into the furnace it is covered with an alum- soaked cloth, so that it may not catch fire while being transferred to the fur- nace. Within three minutes after the cas- ket and body has been placed 'in the fur- nace the whole becomes a mass of flames and then a mass of cinders the time stated. al cua of de- | . g SCENES AT THE LUNCH AND | ALONG THE ROAD FROM TIBU- | RON TO CALIFORNIA CITY.
