That usually conservative and nearly always re- liable newspaper. the New York Sun, has uncon- seiously made itself ridiculous by quoting the words of one George H. Wight, who alleges that he re- cently returned from San Franeisco, where he ex-| perienced all the terrors of the temblor and the hor- | rors of the great fire. The bold Mr. Wight through the columns of the Sun has givey to the East one | of the most weirdly impossible accounts of his| troubles, which are certainly hair-raising, though extremely inaecurate. Mr. Wight told the Sun that he was stopping in‘ & San Franciseo hotel and, on the morning of the| earthquake, after having been batted about his| room like a shuttlecock, he made his way to the street, carrying with him a box of cigars. In his pocketbook was five hundred dollars in money and in his heart a strange blithesomeness. He'said that < | Oakland and San Francisco. ““the sight of a man deliberately smoking a cigar while the city was in the throes of destruction| seemed to amaze the people T met.”” Into the street then went Mr. Wight, with his box of cigars under his arm, and after proceeding a few yards *‘stubbed a toe against something and fell. It was a dead body !’ The inference is that Mr. Wight was either gazing intently at the skyerapers to see that their tops Wwere on straight or that the smoke of his cigar was, of such an overpowering nature that it blindedl_ him toeall else, even a corpse. Mr. \’\'i‘_r‘m having picked himself up, ‘‘lighted another cizar’” and proceeded on his way. Then, said the adventurer, ‘I asked a man if he could direct me to a cafe. I never shall forget his looks. He shook his head and ran. 1 met another man| and offered him a eizar. He took it, then handed it back. 1 then asked him where I could get aj drink.”” % *“*Of what? he asked “ “Whisky," I replied ““‘He gasped and said that $100 would not buy a drink in San Franecisco.”” Mr. Wight failed to remember that he was nar- rating something that had oceurrgd at 8 o’clock in the morning of the first day of the disaster, when every saloon in the city that was not on fire was wide open. He merely ‘‘lit another cigar’’ and offered one from his supply to a policeman, who refused it and told the man from New York to quit smoking, for ‘‘don’t you know that the city is in flames?’’ There is no doubt that the Gothamite’s torch was a serious menace to the inburned district. A half eolumn of queeg experiences follows in the n’s interview, including a story of a bid of giving to a stranger for a bench to sleep upon in Golden | Gate Park on the afternoon of April 18, and a yarn of a woman who on this same afternoon told him where she had had coffee and bread, although he munched dry raisins and a dryer eracker in lien of such luxuries. - The interview reached the climax when Mr. Wight walked back to his hotel and found the hotel clerk standing on the ruins of the place like the New Zealander surveying from London bridge the| uins of St. Paul. He gave the clerk $20 and the latter wept and said that he would repay the gener- ous man from the East when the hotel was rebuilt. Finally Mr. Wight crossed to Oakland, tramped about a bit, and, coming to a lodging-house, applied | for a room. Whom should he meet but the very man to whom he had given $5 for the bench in| Golden Gate Park! | Why the landlord of an Oakland lodging-house | wanted to go to sleep on a Golden Gate Park bench Mr. Wight did not explain. Perhaps with another | igar and a long pull and a strong one he might be | able to bring this rather abstruse problem to a| logical eonelusion. SAN JOSE AT WORK, e { | SRR | The people of San Jose are going at the work of | restoring their city with the force and energy! shown by the people of San Francisco and of Santa | Rosa. As a matter of fact, from the day of the| calamity business at San Jose has gone on with iittle interruption. Within two days after the disaster the street cars were running, the work of removing the debris had begun and the res- toration of buildings that had been damaged was well under way. Merchants resumed business immediately. In fact, there was little or no in- terruption of trade, and dealers in some instances were able to carry on a considerable business in articles with which they found themselves over- stocked and which were in immediate demand in This is particularly trune of dealers in commercial blanks and aceount books and office furniture. 4 Now comes word from San Jose that large non- resident property owners, whose absence from San Jose has more or less delayed the restoration of their property, will immediately proceed to rebuild on a larger seale than ever before. The work of restoring the city and county buildings that were damaged more or less is to be pressed as rapidly as charter provisions and statute requirements will permit. It will not be long before all the scars of the disaster at San Jose will have been removed. Four students of the San Bernardino High Schooi, have been charged with bribery in connection with the annmal election of the students’ body. Tt is evidently unnecessary to introduce the study of polities in the public schools.e 3 “rance favors a decrease of military expenses. This ought to put_a stop to the war-talk messages that are frequently made to show that France and Germany are unfriendly. AS TO A NEW NATIONAL ‘SONG. Once more an earnest soul proposes to have a prize offered for a new national song. Secretary Bonaparte has had demonstrated to him again the now somewhat fa- miliar facts that “The Star Spangled Banner,” although the special care of our Assemblyman, Mr. Thompkins, is quite unsingable, and that the words of “America’” ‘nre set to an air which, while experts differ as to whether it was originally English. French or German, is admittedly not American. The proposal for new 'tunes to these songs, says the New York Evening Post, isjon a par with the call for new words to “Dixie” which convulses the South every few years. Some years ago the Rhode Island Society of the Cin- cinnati offered a prize for the best new music to Samuel F. Smith’s hymn. According 1o a reference work before us, 517 was the number of compositions received. Yet who has heard the “stirring and dignified” air by Arthur Edward Johnstone which won the prize? We confess that we have not. These efforts by means of committees and formal competitions are no doubt praiseworthy, yet we doubt if nations or associations often get their songs that way. The only recent music wkich seems in the smallest degree likely to be'added to our national tunes fs a4 “coon song” which happened to have & martial sound and to have been current when the Spanish war broke out.

To the Editor of The Call: Aimyos of changing the name of Market street, I think the principal street of the metropdlis should have a more distinctive name, and suggest lifornia avenue.

At the zenith of his poweg on the eve of the first session of a Parliament, fifty-eight of whose eighty” membe: were his sworn fellowers, his oft ex- pressed wish to die in his country's service granted, Richard Seddon, for thirteen consecutive years shaper of New Zealand's destinies, undisputed head of six comsecutive ministrieg. has been called to the Great Beyond. Never in the history of any British self-governing colony. probably of any section of medern demeocracy. has a statesman so'wholly won the confidence of a people. In his farsightedness and great force of character lay doubtless, in large *measure, the secret of that power which, d(rsp!lof t-nnr\‘:)a[rux':v‘#- ax:; . S or thirteen ye: literagy, made Seddon ot Yo Of greater imperi than these things, however, were his qualities of beart, his sympathy with the poor and suffer- s his good-fellowship, y to the friends of the days of his obscurity. Therein lay the real source of his sway, and therefore it is that today New Zealanders at home or in whatever corner of the globe their lot may be cast will feel each in his heart the sorrow begotten at once of a national and a personal bereavement. To proceed to affirm that Seddon was the product of the time in which Ae lived; that the social legislation with which his name is identified was, gen= erally speaking, the inevitable expres- sion of the heart and mind and will of a people through whose moral and mental fiber had percolated with a minimum of resistance the catholic principles of our civilization, is but to restate a_fundamental truth.
