SAN FUANCISCO , May 22. Since my
last loiter to Till ! BKK , but llttlo of par
ticular Interest has transpired. This
season of the year is always n busy ono
in San Francisco. Fruits and excur
sionists going cast In car-load lots per
haps Is the most interesting topic. Few
excursionists are coming in , but thou
sands are departing. The newest fad in
'Frisco is what has long slnco boon
A C1IKSTNUT K.VST.
It is the introduction of "Pinafore" at
the Mechanics' Puvlllion. Thousands
of people attend , and are delighted. It
may seem strange to your readers to
know that "Plnaforo" is now but it Is
"brand now. " The Chronicle thus
speaks of the play : " iTho lass that
loved a sailor' bowed last night for the
second time from hot1 majesty's ship
Plnaforo , which floats so sedately nt the
west end of the Mechanics' Pavllllon.
It was another lass , though , than the
ono who sang so admirably and bowed
80 prettily on Monday night. But the
bailer was the same. The same old Jack
tar ; and like the typical foremast hand ,
his affections scomod to centre in the
pretty girl before him , and ho had evidently -
dontly entirely forgotten her who only
twenty-four hours before ho had sworn
to lovo. The second night's perform
ance of the opera was enjoyed by about
4,000 people , who applauded everyone
nnd everything that was good , from the
"real" tars out on the yards to the mid-
shipmlto who stole the admiral's
ohapoau nnd loft his own cap to cover
Sir Josoplis ! white hair ! "
It may bo proper for mo to remark
hero , that "Undo Tom's Cabin" would
not bo a novelty.
A C1I1NE3K HOSPITAL
has boon for some time a topic of inter
est among these living -at University
Mound. The fear is that a Chlnoso hos
pital would rondcr the locality where it
was situated undesirable and unhealthy.
Although the board of supervisors
passed an order restraining its build
ing , Consul Boo declares it shall bo
built. In an interview ho said , reply
ing to the question concerning the pro
posed prohibitory ordinance :
"Well , what of it ? What of the laun
dry ordinance ? , . What of the quouo-
cutting ordinance ? What of the iron-
door ordinance , and what of the hun
dred ether ordinances which have boon
passed in this city by Ltho supervisors
nnd by tbo California legislature ? The
federal court simply knocked the bot-
toni clean out of them all , and so it will
out of this. The people have year in
and year out complained that wo do not
take care of our sick and dying , but
throw thorn out on the street to die.
Now , when wo propose to build a hospi
tal for thorn the same as all ether na
tionalities , there is an objection raised ,
and the supervisors to please their
own people rush in and pass ,
nn ordinance prohibiting the erection
of any hospital within the city and
county , except these who desire to erect
itjobtaiiuporuiisslon from the board of
supervisors , to do so. How about the
French hospital , tlio Sitors of Mercy
hospital , the German , the Italian and
last , but not least , the city and county
hospital ? Now what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gandoIf it bo
illegal to maintain a Chinese hospital
in the city and county it is most cer
tainly illegal to maintain any other
hospital. The Chinese are refused ad
mission into the city and county hos
pital. They will not bo taken in any
of tlio private hospitals nor will the au
thorities permit them to build a hos
pital for themselves. All I desire to
say just now is that the hospital will bo
built just , where wo said it wouldunlcss
the supreme court in Washington
, should decide otherwise. " The
OA1ILK CAIl CUOSSING
question is still being agitated and will
result In a great deal of ill-fooling.
At the mooting of the street committee -
too on Thursday last , Superintendent
Xiynoh of the Powell street line opposed
a substitute ordinance proposed by At
torney Halo of the Market street road ,
giving to the older lines the superior or
prior right to the crossings. Superin
tendent Lynch objected to the plan on
the ground that a prior right-of-way
f i-auohlso did not affect in the least the
privileges of opposing roads , 0/011 if the
date of their franchise wore subbcquont
to that of the othor. It was charged
that the employes of the cable roads had
taken up their employers' fight and in
various ways attempted to do each
other injury , particularly where the
roads intersected. The right-of-way to
the crosbings waa disputed by the grip-
men of both lines , and in ono or two
cases accidents have boon the
result of this ill-fooling. In
order to definitely settle the rights of
the roads nt the crossings , Superintend
ent Lynch is now attempting , with the
nid of Supervisor Burns , to frame nn
ordinance fully covering that point ,
Which IB designed not on ly to avoid dis
astrous accidents , but to save lives and
insure peace among the employes. In
the
I'UGILTSTIC LINK
plnco McAuliffo's fray , a thousand full-
Hedged knockers have dovolopcd.

The free public library , the pride of
nil FrlBcnns , will bo removed during
the present month from the old room
on Ilush street to the new quarters at
the new city hall. It la lonrcd that the
accommodations will bo moro cramped
than they are now , as the now room Is
not as largo as the old. It is hoped ,
however , that some ad joining room may
lie goourod. All the shelving now iti
use will ba removed. The task of mov-
ig the 70,000 volumes will probably retire -
quire two weeks , and all books will be
in before it is commenced.

CKKTK , May 20,1SSS. To the Kditor
of Till ! UEB : Slnco the meeting of tbo
republican state convention interest in
politics in this town and surrounding
country by the adherents of that party
lias incroabod to & high pitch. The
young mon , especially these who are
about to become voters , manifest an In
terest on all occasions regarding the
principles , past record , nnd future
course of the parly that bodes no good
to the democracy.
It la surprising to hear them take up
the tariff and discuss it with their dem
ocratic friends. They have great con
fidence in the success of the party this
-fall , and tliQlr cpnfldonco infuses now
Jifo into the older heads , and makes
I them feel that the young element that
is now coming to tlio front will well nnd
nbly support the party that for twonty-
flvo years 1ms brought the country to
its present prosperous nnd happy con
dition. In my rarablings through the
county .1 hnvo mot and talked with n
great many farmers , democrats as well
ns republicans , and IInil a feeling
ot discontent and uneasiness concern
ing the tariff. I have not found ono
single farmer with whom I have talked
that docs not entertain a fooling of fear
that in the ovcnt of n , radical chnngo in
the tariff something evil or detrimental
to tholr interests will occur. The re
publicans on the other side stand by
their party , and Its principles because
they bollevo they are for the best in
terests of himself und his country , but
the democratic farmer has a fear of
turning over the old system under which
they hnvo become prosperous nnd sou-
supporting for the proposed now order
of things by their party the result of
which no ono can foretell. And if I can
judge correctly from the sentiments I
have heard expressed , this county will
give such nn overwhelming majority for
ho republican nominees tlmt it will
almost take the breath out of thorn. To
illustrate what I mean : I mot nn old-
tlmo democrat the other day , a. gentleman -
man who has resided in this state for
seven Icon years , an uncompromising
democrat , but a man of unquestioned
honesty nnd integrity , and whoso
word Is as good as his bond , and whoso
democratic proclivities uro of such a
nature that no man hns over boon bold
enough to broach the subject of repub
licanism to him. Who told mo when
speaking of the tariff that ho was vorv
much in doubt as to whether lie would
vote the presidential ticket this fall or
not. Iluving been quite intimate with
him sincol have resided In Nebraska
nnd knowing of him when ho lived in
Pennsylvania , and knowing his politics
pretty thoroughly , I was somewhat sur
prised to hoar him express himself in
that manner , and I asked him what had
coiiio over the spirit of his democratic
dream to cause him to doubt the wisdom
of his party , ho replied that ho had
been farming and stock raising for u
great many yearsthat ho had boon suc
cessful to .a , marked degree , but since
tho'agitation of the tariff ho had begun
to think the matter over , and had read
n great about it and the inforonno
ho drew from the facts ho learned was :
That ho could not figure out how
a rcduction"of the tariff could possibly
benefit the farmers. "Tako , " ho con
tinued , "thu hundreds and thousands of
mon who are now engaged in the.manu
facture of iron in all its branches , take
the woolen mills and its thousands of
employes , men and women ; take the
hundreds and thousands of sturdy men
who are engaged in digging the ore
from the hills and mountains , the same
as you and I have soon in Pennsylvania.
What will bo the result to them if the
duties are taken off _ of such things as
they are now making a livintr at ? The
only result that J can see is , that to a
great extent these mills and furnaces
and shops will bo obliged to close or the
wages of the mon will bo reduced to
such an extent that they will bo on the
verge of starvation aud if that is so ,
and as I see it I would like to know
what is to become of the farmer and his
grain and stock ? Who is going to buy
my grain if mon haven't money enough
to buy broad ? Who is going to buy
my cattle if the workingrnon
can't earn money enough to pay
his rent or buy coal , what will become
of us if one-half of the mills and fac
tories shut down , throwing thousands of
human beings out of work ? I may per
haps bo a little selfish in this matter ,
but you know that every man does , or
ought to , look out for himself first , and
for the life of mo I can't see how any
poor man in this country can live if this
scheme is carried out. No doubt a
great many , o ! the ea&torn importers
will bo greatly benofltted by free trade ,
because importing things cheap and
selling them at ti high llguro is their
business , and , of course , they will cry
free trade upon all occasions ; but they
don't care a cent what becomes of any *
ono else so long as they can lill then-
own pockets and carry tlio money thus
obtained to Europe , and there spend it.
But if this scheme is successful , I don't
see how I can plant my crops , cultivate
them , feed my cattle through the winter -
tor , and especially such a , winter as we
have just passed through , and got
enough money out of them to pay my
expenses. Four miles west of the Blue
I have 400 acres of land. Heretofore * !
have had the most of it in grain , re
serving only enough for my stock , and
have done well. But since this infer
nal tinkering of the tariff by a lot of
baclcwoods luwyora , who don't know as
much about farming and farmer's inter
ests as a cat docs about astronomy , I
have como to the conclusion that it is
bettor to wait and see what will bo the
outcome of all this talk before 1 invest
any moro money in crop , cattle or any
thing else , not knowing where I am
coming out. They can all talk about
the farmer not understanding his own
business or interests , but I toll you
when it comes to a farmer working a
whole year for nothing and paying his
own expenses out of it , they will ( Ind
that wo are just looking out where
our dollars go to , and you can
just make up your mind that wo are go
ing to think twice this fail before wo
cast our ballots. Suppose they can im
port goods cheaper than tlioy can bo made
in this country what bonollt is that tome
mo or any ether poor man if wo are out
of work and have no money to purchase
them with. It is like asking a hungry
man Co oat when there Is no broad. "
This is a sample of what I have heard
expressed a great many times during
the past two weeks by farmers and
others , Of course the dyod-in-tho-
domocratlc-wool democrats take u dif
ferent view and believe that somehow
or ether their party will bring them
through all right , no matter how the
crops are , whether high or low ; but the
liberal , far-sooing farmers of all politi
cal shades will bo very careful how
they vote. P. T. E.

Walpolo , 111. , possesses a remarkable
freak of nature in the shape of a colt
that was foaled bore rucontly. It is
perfect in every way save for. the fact
that it has no forelegs , and the place
where they should bo is as smooth and
even as any portion of its breast , and
there is nothing to iudicato that these
much-needed members will over grow.
The colt's hind-logs are strong , und
perfect in every way. It is remarkably
honlthy , and there Is every reason to
believe that it will livo. Its appetite
for milk is exceedingly good.

A Poor Public Servant.
WASHINGTON , May 21. [ Special to Titn
Bnn. ] If Public Printer Benedict is not
brought before congress In impeachment pro
ceedings ho will stand condemned ns a pub
lic servant before those who have watched
the investigation which has been in progress
for two or thrco months by the house com
mittee on printing. Mr. Bcucdict went into
office with a great blare of trumpets. Ho
proclaimed tlmt the administration of his
predecessor , Mr. Hounds , was incompetent
and corrupt , nnd Insinuated that the men un
der him were not proper persons to remain in
the employ of the government , and they were
put out. As soon as this congress convened
lie began to blow about his economy and his
superiority. Ills own howls attracted so
much attention that it created suspicion. Al
ready the investigation has shown that Mr.
Benedict is imcompatont. Men connected
with the inquiry siy : moro will bo proven. It
was shown last week by the testimony of the
most | reputable-men in Philadelphia , that
Bcucdict accepted paper that fell from eight
to twelve ponmls below the government
standard , which is from twenty to forty per
cent lower than was offered by other con
tractors , and that the price paid was from
ton to twenty per cent more than the proper
grade could have been bought for. It was
shown that the superintendent of the paper
warehouse nnd Benedict's brother , who are
members of the board of paper inspection ,
went to Philadelphia and dined and wined
with the papnr contractor nt the lattcr's ex
pense , nnd that Woodbridgo , chief clerk of
the stationary division of the postofllco de
partment was with them , and that his ex
penses wore also paid by the paper con
tractor. If Mr. Benedict escapes from this
investigation with any reputation ho will bo
exceedingly fortunate.
An effort is to bo made to secure unani
mous consent of the house for the considera
tion of Mr. Hovoy's joint resolution , which
has been favorably reported from the com
mitted on library , appropriating § 15,000 for
the purpose of erecting , on the grounds or hi
the building of the Smithsonian institute ,
this city , n statue of the late Hobcrt Dale
Owen. Mr. Owen was several times u mem
ber of the Indiana legislature , was ono of the
constitutional convention that framed the
constitution of that state , nnd was a member
of the Twenty-ninth congress. Subsctpjcntly
ho was minister to Naples , Italy. There Is
nn interesting story in connection with the
claim sot un for showing why a statue should
bo erected in memory of this man. James
Smlthson. a son of the duke of Northumber
land , England , on the 20th of October , 1820 ,
by his last will and testament , bequeathed
to the "United Status of America his prop
erty to found at Washington city , under the
name of the Smithsonian Institution , nn es
tablishment for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men. " When the bequest
was received by the United States , Juno ,
IS'W , it amounted to n little over ? 500,000 , and
\vos accepted us a trust under an act of con
gress. For many years this largo sum was
in the vaults of the United States or under
Its control , and several unsuccessful efforts
were made in congress to pass bills to carry
the trust into execution. In the Twenty-
ninth congress , December 1'J , 1845 , Hobort
Dale Owen introduced "a bill to establish
the Smithsonian institution for the increase
and diffusion of knowledge among men , "
which , after u long- debate and bitter opposi
tion.- was to some extent remodeled by a
substitute , and became a law April 29 , 184IJ.
Tlio vote in the house on its final passage
stood So ayes to 70 nays. Mr. Owen was re
garded as the champion of the measure , nnd
was appointed chairman of the board of re
gents July , 1840. From the date of his ap
pointment to the completion of the Smith
sonian building ho devoted all his time and
energy to the organization and completion of
the work.
Few men could hnvo been found in any
country whoso talents , education and sympa
thies would have so well qualified them to
carry out the munificent bequest of Mr.
Smithson. Mr. Owen was n ripe scholar ,
had traveled much and was familiar with the
bast institutions of Europe. Ho was fond of
architecture and was one of the most active
members of the board of regents in forming
the plan for the building. During this per
iod and growing out of his labors , ho pub
lished his work on architecture.
United States Consul Straus , located at
Constantinople , Turkey , bus written n letter
to the slate department whic will bo read
with interest by all who care for the Ameri
can missionary work In heathen countries.
In the course of his letter Mr. Straus says :
'I have recently visited Cairo. Jaffa , Jeru
salem , Beirut , Morsmo and Smyrna , and
conferred with our consuls in the several
districtsalso ; with the governors and gover
nors-general of the respective vilayets in the
empire. 1 desire to acknowledge the univer
sal courtesy I met with on the part of these
officials and to express my satisfaction us to
the very pleasant relation existing between
them and our consuls. While at Cairo his
highness , the khcdlvc , showed mo every
possible courtesy. I hud BO arranged my trip
that I-mlght bo at Beirut at about the time
tlio order for the reopening of the schools
of the American Presbyterian hoard
of missions in the vilayets of Syria ,
and Beirut was to go into effect. I am grat
ified to report that fifteen of said schools had
been reopened In anticipation of my arrival ,
and that orders were received from the poito
for the immediate reopening of the live addi
tional schools in the Syrian vilayet the dav I
left Beirut namcl.v , April 4- . These are
pretty much all if not the eiitiro number
that the missionaries two to reopen ai this
tlmo. Such was my understanding of their
wishes when they waited on mo in a body
whllo at Beirut to express their gratiiieation
upon the result. "
Some amusement was afforded to these
who wcro in the secret last week , over the
action of the friends of Speaker Carlisle in
watching that gentleman. The speaker was
down for a speech. Ho was to close the
great tariff deiwto of 18SS. It was of the ut
most importance that ho should bo In the
best physical condition possible for the great
ordeal. Ho was to thrash over the old straw
vrhich Cox , nnd Brc-ckenridgo , und McMll-
lon , and Scott , und Mills , und a dozen other
loading free traders had gone over before.
The speaker must bo ut his , best , nnd his
friends were-afraid that ho would bo seized
with 0110 of these fits of illness which occa
sionally attack him in opportune moments.
Consequently they watched him as a
cat docs u mouse. They scarcely permitted
him to breutho without making u record of
the inspirations and expirations. It Is true
that there wcro no bulletins furnished to the
public , btill no man was over moro closely
watched than thu bpeakor has bL-cn. Night
and day souio one was close by his sldo in or
der that they could guard against any unlooked -
looked for emergency. It is too bad that the
loading frco trndder in the house m so often
threatened by attacks of illness of this kind.
If it had been a republican of proinliienco
the country would huvo known of all the cir
cumstances when the the attack was first
feared ,
Congressman Perry Belmont seems to
have abondonod his scheme for the reorgani
zation of the consular service. Mr. Belmonl
hud a good idea , and the bill which ho fought
for last year had everything to commend It
but it failed. While congressmen do a great
deal of talking about reforms , they always
neglect the opportunity to inaugurate re
forms , oven when these opiHmunitics are
thrust uixw them. The consular service to
day is demoralized , from the fact that the
compensation paid to consuls Is erratic , anil
entirely inequitable. There is no d&uut
that many of the charges of undervaluation
which havu been brought against importers so
frequently , within the past few years , have
been possible because' of the temptations
which uro placed in the way of a starving
representative of the United States govern
ment. Those who have read Ik Marvel' * en
tertaining books have laughed heartily over
his picture of an American consul at ono 01
the Mediterranean l > orts. When ho nhoweu
how this consul sut for months wulM"B for.a
fco.aud took in sowething.liko $1.2 ? i" ninety
days , It was considered n little harmless flo
tlon , Yet it is true that the picture was no
overdrawn In the least , but was the Absolute
result 6f Donald G. Mitchell's own obsorva
tlons , nnd ho was the consul himself , ho
know whereof ho wrote. American consul
nro paid with loss regard to the value of
their services than nay other class of govern
mcnt servants , unless it bo the letter car
Hers. Mr. Belmont , who is chnlrmnn of the
foreign affairs committed , recognizes this
fact , and Secretary Bayard endorses It , yet
the house refused to do the square thing , be
cause it would appear that a few thousam
dollars moro wore to bo expended each year
The truth Is , however , tlmt should Mr. Bel
niont's bill become a law , It would not mn
torially increase the expense of the government
mont , as the amount paid in fees to some o
the more fortunate consuls , like these in
London , Liverpool , Havre and Paris , wouh
bo covered into the treasury to bo dlsbursoi
nmong the poor devils who , nchlng for fame
in the diplomatic service , servo their country
nt starvation wages , and pay their own ox
pcnscs.

The city council met last night as a courl
for the hearing of the remonstrances ugninsl
applications for license to sell liquor. The
city hall was crowded to its utmost capaciti
with spectators who were interested 4n the
proceedings. The prohibition remonstrants
wcro on hand with a cloud of witnesses and
a lively tlmo was had. A largo number of
witnesses wcro examined on the part of the
remonstrators but no material evidence wn'
ndduccd. An adjournment was taken until
to-night when the fnrco will bo continued ,
It Is now clear that the point of the prohibi
tionists is to obstruct by such proceeding ns
lonp as possible , und to so worry
nnd , vex the applicants ns to
disgust them , and cause them to throw up
and quit business. If every applicant has to
be bothered in this way , Wahoo will have
but fo\v saloons , nnd a good many holes In
the wall. When It is remembered that the
prohibitionists cast 07out of 450 votes at the
last municipal election , and are now trying ,
after being defeated at the polls , to prevent
license being granted by every means possi
ble , whether fair or notit makes the average
cltlzzn wonder if this Is a country in which
majorities rule , or where a few malcontents
can run everything , whllo the voice of the
people Is overridden nnd counts for naught
An Indian Jungle.
By the way , we have now heen the
whole length of Inditv , from Calcutta to
Peshawan , says Carter Harrison in u
recent letter to the Chicago Mail , and
back to Bombay , on tno other aiilo of
the land , and , except at the foot of the
Himalayas , have not seen a single forester
or , Indeed , what wo would call a wood.
Trees there are everywhere along the
roads along the hedorows , scattered
about the llelds and plains , and dotted
over the hills and mountains , but noth
ing like what tlio most of us at homo
have supposed to constitute an Indian
jungle. All uncultivated or waste
[ anus are called "jungles. " "Out in the
junglo" means about the same thing
hero as with us to say "out on the
prairies" that is , on the uninclosed
lands , whether bare or in heavy grass.
The "mountain jungles , " where the
tiger has his home , and from which ho
comes down to carry off people or do
mestic animals , have no trees ether
Lhan-low scattered hushes and rocks.
On these no native thinks of going
alone at night , or oven by day in some
of them.
By mutual consent the ten years' contract
between Fanny Gillette and Augustus Piston
