San Francisco Post. California, with a reputation for good cheer and hospitality handed down from the halcyon days of old. will open her heart to the Nation's chief executive on the occasion of his visit to the Golden. State next month. Never in the history of the State has such opportunity offered for the display of these generous qualities that have made the name of California distinguished abovo his fellows than this the visit of the President. It is an event which will give full sway to the Inspirations of patriotism which held the State to the mother group of States in the stormy days when the Union was disrupted and which have since bound her to the Union in ever tightening grasp. More than that, it will be an object lesson to the people of the unity which pervades the entire system of States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Many years have passed since California has received a visit from the Nation's executive. General Grant after his retirement from office passed through San Francisco on his return from his globe-circling tour. Then President Hayes came for a brief visit. Finally President Harrison whirled through the State, received with demonstrations of esteem and popular favor throughout the course of his trip. After he retlreu from office he visited the State again to lecture at Stanford University. Since then our only view ot the lreslJent3 has been that gained from newspaper illustrations and campaign portraits. The tour of Presluen. MeKiniey will be the most extensive undertaken by any of tne incumbents of the presidential oiiice. Leaving the national capital on April 'j, he will travel down into the sunny South, stopping at Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Memphis, Vicksburg ana JacKsou, arriving finally at New Orleans on Wednesday. One day will be spent visiting the great shipping port of the gulf. Friday, May i, will bring me presidential party tnrougn the Lone four State, Houston, llempsiead and Austin being visited on that uay. Saturday and Sunday will be spent in the same State, for Texas is a large. State, and it t-ikcs time to cross irom one border to the other. San Antonio and El Paso will be visited, and on Monday the train will glide over to Arizona, and the next day will be spent in viewing the wonders ot that Territory. The first glimpse of California will be had on Wednesday, May Ü, and at 9 o'clock m that day Redlands will be reached. Governor Gage and a delegation from Ultimate Legislature will be there to tender an official welcome. The committee appointed by the citizens and by the various .societies will also be there to Join in the greeting. Redlands will entertain the distinguished guests until noon, at which time the train will start for Los Angeles, arriving there at 2:'. A number of features are on the programme for tho entertainment of the President at the City of Angels. Among them are a floral display which will give full opportunity to exhibit the wonderful productiveness ef tho Southland in this respect. Pasadena, the City of Roses, will contribute from her wealth ot floral beauties to make the display a grand one. From 1 Angeles the party will journey 01. Frhlay to the north, making short stops at Sin Buenaventura, Santa Barbara and fcan Luis Obispo, and arriving at Del Monte at 2 o'clock on the morning of Saturday. Sunday will be spent in the quiet rest afforded under the beautiful scenery of California's most famous hostelry, and on Monday travel will be resumed toward thbig treer of the Santa Cruz mountains. It is expected that the inspection of this wonderland will be a revelation to the members of the presidential party. San Jose will be reached on th" afternoon of the same clay, and there the citizen. have arranged for a fioral display nnd the pies ntatlon to the President of a mammoth bouquet weighing several tons. On Teesday the start for San Francisco will Ic malc. At Palo Alto there will be a drive through the university grounds and the privat estate of Mrs. Stanford. Coming up to Ittirllngame the party will he met by Mayor Phelan. who will tender a welcome on behalf of the city. Then to San Francisco will be a quick run of forty minutes. Fr the six days that the President will spend in San Francisco there will be events ot continuous Interest. In the evenlm; of the day of arrival there will he a puhMr reception in the ferry building; Wedncs.H v. Thursday and Friday will be occupied with s'de trips to Berkeley, Oakland. Mount Tamalpals. Golden e;ite Bark, the Oeejin l'e-ieh and other points of interest. On Saturday the. battleship Ohio, which is to carry the name and fame of th Buckey State out Into the world's waters, will be launehetl at the Union Iron works. Sunday will be given up to rest, and th President ami his party will attend divine services in churches of the citv. Monday is the day set for the President's departure. The Itinerary carries him to Stockton by way of Nlhs, thence to Sacramento nnd so on to Portland. The President has said that the trip la undertaken mainly for the purpose of rest, nnd he has asked that no part of th programme for his entertainment be of such a nature as to tire him or mae his tour other than one of "recreation. He comes to enjoy the fights of the country, which 1

new to him. to meet the people, and, above

nil. for rest. That California will do her part nobly in the duty of bestowing upon him the honor thit is due to his exalted station Is already evidence"! by the hearty expressions of enthusiasm that have come from the ranks of the people. It will be a gala event In the history nf the StHte. nnd it goes without saying that California will make the most of It. A PRE-EXPOSITION CROWD. Thirty Tlionnnl Pemon Yllt the l'nn-Ainerienii Show Ground. BUFFALO, April 2S.-To-day's attendance nt the Pan-American exposition was rcrd breaker for a pre-exposltion erowl. Fully öo.O'kI persons passed through the pates about 73 per cent, of them paying for admission. Although the exposition is saill far from complete everyone seemed satisfied with what there was to see. The ma Ingers of the exposition had be-en working for a unique distinction that of having all things in readiness for the opening day and had it not been for the storm their hopes would have no doubt been fulfilled. As it is the "sand-pape'r" finish the man- j agement lias striveM for cannot be accomplished by May 1, but there will be enough of it to repay any one who visits tho grounds on opening day. An event on the opening day next Weelnesday will be the filght of 5.O00 carrier pigeons, carrying the news of the opening ot the exposition. GOVERNMENT RELIEF. Army OHlcern' Testimony nn to It Demoralizing; Effect. Washington Correspondence New York Evening Post. -.- . "Reading the accounts of recent river flood-." remarked an army officer to-day to you correspondent, "makes me think of the Mississippi overflow four years ago, was it? when I hal something to do with the distribution of the relief voted by Cngress. That experience convinced me that when the government goes into an undertaking of that sort it dispenses more demoralization than beneficence. There are two classes of people to whom it olTers rations; one Is a worthy but temporarily helpless class of white persons who, as a rule, won't accept them because it would hurt their priile to be classed in the same category with negroes and paupers; at.d the other is the class of negroes and poor whites who will eat the bread of Idleness as long as you will dole it out to them, together with a sprinkling of avaricious and unprincipled men, who take the bounty on the theory that anything which comes out of the government is fair plunder. "You know how the tiling is dene, of course? Word is sent out in all direction tailing for the enrollment of families needing relief. Each family is represented by 'ts head, who signs the roll and answers the questions as to how many mouths he has to feed. A man who told us that his family consisted of fifteen souls, we discovered afterward, was one of the most thrifty and well-to-do inhabitants of the neighborhood; he owned, among other things, six farms, oral was by n means In -ondition to be b'-gging for aid. In one place, where relief was asked for 1.5-) persons, we made a cursory examination, nnd cut the rations elown to 31, and even then 1 have reason to suspect that there was a pretty large surplus. I know that we eiid not use one-half u the money voted by Congress, but we had the chance to spend a great deal more than the appropriation had we been willing to shut our eyes and give indiscriminately. "The negroes from the overflowed plantations would Hock to the relief camps, often, though offered work at good wages la repairing or strengthening levees, so as to check the ravages of the river. Others would come in from plantations which were not endangered -and where thoir employers needed every hand; and it became necessary almost to drive them back to work at the point of the bayonet. After the danger had subsided, indeed, they insisted upon lying about in droves, and filling their stomachs without lifting a finger, though their own employers were willing to release them, and other planters had work for them to do and were suffering for lack of help. A period of free provender made many of them useless for a long time to come, and the only consideration which would appeal to them was the pang of starvation, after the government purveyors had shut down on their supplies. "I was struck, also, with the way distress seemed to accentuate some of the natural traits of the shiftless ones. A steam barge loaded with passengers was sent up the river on one occasion, towing behind It a raft on which was gathered a large collection of live stock. The negroes on the raft fell to playing craps, and threw themselves into the game with such abandon that they neglected utterly to water and animals. Here was a swollen river, all about them, the water to be had for merely dipping a bucket into it; yet the bellowing of the thirsty beasts, which at last became agonizing beyond endurance to the people on the steamboat, passed unnoticed by the negroes, till the boat hands interrupted their gambling and fairly drove them by force into doing their duty. "But "there were pathetic scenes, too. I remember when one little boat with a relief partv sailed back into the country to look for "and rescue any persons who might have gathered on the knolls and been cut off from all sources of supply. In an out-ct-the-way place the party came apon a ruined cabin comnletely isolated. In which the water had risen almost to the celllnr- of the lower story. The family had taken refuge in the attic. The mother was in bed. covered with a mountain of rags, and going through a siege of chills and fever; th: children were crying with hunger, for a couple of days had gone by since the last morsel of food had disappeared; but the lather was sitting by the open window, with an old. cracked fiddle, on which only two strings remained, sawing out such remnants of Jig tunes as could be played on the crippled instrument and making the best of his effort to keen a cheerful face turned toward the melancholy prospect. "I concluded, after all I saw that year, that It would be wiser In such cases to let the local relief committees take care of the stomachs of the people. If Uncle Sam lends a hand, it should be In the form of furnishing tents or other shelter for the homeless: but the Chambers of Com nu reo und Boards of Trade in the Southern cities are alwavs generous, and. what is quite as important, they understand the people of their own neighborhoods nnd know how to feed them without wasting the substance of the contributors or paunerlzlng and spoiling the beneficiaries. The worthy persons who need help and who are too proud to cat the oread of mendnfancy from the hand of th" federal authorities will accept relief from their neighbors and be grateful lor .it I feel quite sur.- that the best sentiment in the South would be with me In this position. In fact, I recall one man. himself a very heavy sufferer from n Missisfippl outbreak, who told me that if a tdmilar crisis shoul! occur again, he woui.l gladly drop all nnd hurry to Washington. If bv" his entreaties h could ellvert the 111julgfd benevolence of th? government." THE TWO LORDS S A LI Sil I'll Y. En;;; land' Prime Mininter Han n Double Pernoiinllty. A. Maurice Lowe.

There he phuts himself up; he sect no one. and he frightens his subordinates, who fear his caustic humor. His lncllnatloa to treat everybody with cynical indifference, to ridicule seriousness, to blow the troth away with banter and sarcasm, cannot be easily restrained. lxrd Salisbury can be deadly earnest at times, and he la never more so than when he appear a the supporter and exponent of Toryism, but his usual attitude, and it Is a natural one and not merely a poie, is that of the rather borel cynic, to whom most things are a nuisance, but as they cannot be evaded it is wisdom to treat them humorously and as lightly as possible.
