Dickens Landmarks Passing. As sacrificial offerings to the spirit of modern progress the few remaining Dickens landmarks are fast vanishing is the Saracen’s Head, Snow Hill. Al the admirers of the great master of fiction will remember this as the old coaching-house which Wackford Squeers, the villainous schoolmaster, made his headquarters when he came to London in search of fresh victims and from whence Nicholas Nickleby started with him in the Yorkshire coach for Dotheboys Hall. As the photograph shows the building has been renovated since that memorable journey, but the renewed lease of life t gained thereby has been a brief one. It is soon to be sold, torn down and replaced by a more pretentious struc- ture. It was only a little while ago that the members of the Dickens fellow- | ship received with a shudder the tid- ings that the Black Bull in Holborn, Jong held sacred to the memory of Sarah Gamp and her mythical friend Mrs. Harris, had been removed to make way for some emblem that would more appropriately represent up-to-date business methods.

F. DECLINE OF POPULISM. IME was that the Populist party was the object of lively interest to politicians. It grew out of the Farmers’ Aliiance, organized by that remarkable He made every member take an oath to hear speeches and read papers only of their side. Though this seems preposterous now, it succeeded in establishing that class feeling which Mr. Bryan used adroitly in his two campaigns. The Populist party continued the exclusive class policy instituted by Polk, and came to embody all of the political fanaticism | of the country. Its Ocala and Omaha platforms were the study of economists and publicists, for they mapped out what would have been an entirely novel system of government. 7 The Populists absorbed the Greenback party, and as- similated a considerable number of Socialists. Of course such accessions added to the original stock of vagaries. The Socialists brought in government ownership and di- rect legisiation, and the C‘ecnback:rs their airy fairy theories of money. Any man who had a hali-baked idea that did not deserve baking at all found a place for it in The queer combination was soon increased by the accession of demagogues from both parties. It is conceivable that “Whirlwind Davis” of Texas could honestly believe that a proper financial sys- tem reguired that every man's note of hand be made a legal tender, and that the volume of that kind of cur- | rency should be limited only by the capacity of men to emit notes of hand, but it is not conceivable that Mr. Bryan and Senator Patterson of Colorado believed that though they advocated it. The party was propagated and grew in some direc- tions for various reasons. Five years’ drought in Ne- braska and Kansas made most of the people poor, and poverty is a condition in which vagaries flourish. Sena- tor Ingalls said that the people of Kansas hated Pullman cars because they were an expression of luxury in which could indulge. Wherever drought laid its ished as a protest against conditions that the people were | taught could be exorcised by artifice properly directed in politics. In the South the rise of Populism was due to another cause entirely. The race issue kept men from following their convictions into the Republican party, while the | political tyranny of the Democratic organization roused | a genuine American protest against its intolerable ex- | actions, of which Populism was the expression. Isham | G. Harris in Tennessee, Morgan in Alabama, Butler and | Wade Hampton in South Carolina, h3d held the reins so tight that no ambitions were permitted in politics except | by their consent. The rise of Tillman in South Carolina was on the lines of Populism, and his declaration that ! he would “give the one gallus men a chance” appealed to the same sentiment that made Tom Watson possible } in Georgia i So. it came to be the opinion of even wise men that { Populism had the elements of permanency and must be While nothing is more sure than that the party was the abnormal product of ephemeral con- ditions, and was bound to evaporate with its unsub- stantial cause, there is no doubt that its decay was has- tened by the fusions into which it was wooed by Mr. Bryan. When it was sought and besought by the Democracy the upstart party assumed airs, and | finding it could dictate proceeded t do so. In this State it dictated to the Democracy the nomination of Judge Maguire for Governor, and that of Marion Can- keness which was taken | If he particularly wants to see a cer-| non for Congress, and success in issuing commands here and elsewhere made it arrogant and puffed up with | that pride that goeth before a fall. | Mr. Bryan was not benefited by fusion. The Popu- | lists that were sent to Congress were amusing cranks, ! with no capacity for the hard work that counts in that | body. They were the sort of men who whittle sticks | and talk and talk, and chew tobacco and spit and spit, the child musician who tours | from London. The latest ta be doomed | and have but one opinion in economics, which is to the effect that any man who has gathered more gear than | they stole it from the people. Wherever the party got | power it showed a vast incapacity for its responsibilities. Its destructive ideas were definite. It hated all existing | institutions. But when it removed them what it pro- | posed to substitute was a structure that had existed only in a hasheesh dream. Tt is no wonder, then, that the Na- | tional Convention of the party, just held in Springfield, 111, had only two hundred delegates, representing a minority of the States, and seemed to have met only | to sing the swan song of a party that once filled a vast | space in the political horizon.

Nearly every day since he has been in London he has received long letters from the Queen in English, several of which he showed me, detalling the pleasures in store when he returns to Segenhaus, the summer palace of the Queen at Neuwied, and signed “Mamma Regina Elizabeth to her dear Flowerchild.” Probably the boy will go to Neuwied about the middle of July.

Reuter has composed a violin con- certo, a quartet and a symphonic poem, besides numerous orchestral and violin pieces. One of the most inter- esting features of his performance is his conducting and at his first concert here be will lead the Covent Garden orchestra through a symphony of his own composition. Asked about his conducting, he said: “It is about three years ago since I took it up.

PARKER'S NOMINATION. T tention of its patrons to another journalistic tri- umph which has marked the course of this paper in its purpose to present not only a complete, unpre- judiced, intelligent exploitation of the news of each day, but to be alert in giving this news to its readers before any of its competitors in the field of daily journalism. On Saturday morning there was but one item of news held to be of primary importance in the anticipation of newspaper readers of‘ San Francisco. Overshadowing in general interest were the deliberations of the Demo- cratic National Convention at St. Louis and the an- nouncement of any result in the struggle for the Presi- dential nomination, if any had been attained. A result was reached in the selection of Judge A. B. Parker of New York to lead the Democratic campaigners and The Call on Saturday morning published the nomination, giv- ing proper prominence and place to this fact of national moment. Neither of the other morning newspapers published in this city was able to give this news to its subscribers, while every subscriber of The Call read it at his break- fast table. Within a comparatively short time this is the third example of The Call's superiority in news service over its contemporaries.

On the east of the valley are the White Mountains, with an average elevation of 10,000 feet. On the west the Sierra Nevadas form a barrier 12,000 feet high. The valley floor is 4000 feet above the sea level. It is 100 miles‘long and about five miles wide. The Owens River cuts it almost in halves.

The watershed tributary to this site”contains about 300 square miles, having an clevation of 7000 to 12,000 feet, and nearly all subject to a heavy fall of snow. A study has been made also of the flow of the Owens River and its tributaries. Permament gauging stations have been established at Bishop, Rock and Pine creeks and on the Owens River, and daily readings are taken at all these stations. Irrigated land is being mapped and the duty of water is being determined. The present irrigation development is complimented by Mr. Clausen, but the fact is also pointed out by him that while some lands easily accessible by water are suf- fering from drought, other lands, by reason of waste, are being converted into swamps. It is also estimated that the efficiency of the ex fifty per cent by judicious and economical management.

Extensive developments of power are made feasible for pumping by reason of the abrupt descent of the waters on the eastern slope of the Sierras. Natural conditions are favorable for securing irrigation, as they are in many California valleys. Mr. Clausen says that the United States Government intends, upon the approval of the proper authorities, to reclaim the arid lands of the Owens Valley. W Colorado was shaken up by a case of whisky sent by mail. sort of the poisoners. We have a noted California case of this kind, and since it occurred and had publicity there have been three more cases here, though none resulted in the death of the intended victim. We do not use the term “poisoned candy” with any reference to the dangerous stuff found in most candy by Chemist Wiley of the Agricultural Department. is plain from his analysis that if the poisoners would only wait a little the confectioners would do the job with the paraffine and aniline used in making their candy. But the desire for vengeance is too impatient to wait, and so these slow-death things are reinforced with strychnine or arsenic and sent anonymously to the victim, who immediately proceeds to gorge the stuff, not knowing who sent it, or anything about it, oniy that it is candy and a present and cost nothing. Then the cater dies and the autopsy shows active and passive poison and the ponderous machinery of the law is put in motion to find the poisoner. This is a tale told again and again in the newspapers, and yet the market for poisoned candy is as good as ever. People who will read this would lay the paper down and sample a box of chocolates that came by mail without knowing who sent it. The poisoner is the most execrated of all cMinals and those who eat candy that comes by mail, they know not from whom, are the most to be condemned of all fools. Tt i just possible that, in the great economy of things, the poisoner is the fool-killer in disguise, for surely no person that knows enough to retire indoors when it rains would touch stuff sent under such cir- cumstances. When a box of candy, with no sender’s name upon it, is received by a person of sense it is sent for analysis to a chemist and everything about the package that can identify the sender is carefully pre- served. . In these days enmity takes novel shapes and revenge is sought in gruesome ways. and the easiest seems to be the lure of a cheap box of candy. CANDY BY MAIL.
