PENsIoNING TEACHERS.

When the proposition to pension police
men and fireuien was before the Legisla-
ture T He CALL said it would naturally be
follow ed by proposition to pension school
teachers. There is no reason why pensions
should not he given 10 school-teachers as
well as to policemen or firemen, excepting
of course, cases in which life is lost or in
jury sustained in the public service. In this
city SC huo-teachers work 30 days III the
year. The school day is five hours. The
salary ranges from $50 to $500 a month.
Only beginners are employed at the lowest
rate. Teachers Of experience are paid from
$40 to So, something depending on grade Of
certificate and length of service. A large
number Of teachers, principals and vice
principals receive $50 and over a month. 1t
should be remembered, also, that while sala-
res are fixed by tie month, no deduction is
made for idle weeks. The yearly salary is
twelve lines the monthly salary. The bill
the teachers propose to submit to the next
Legs atu r. provides that after twenty-five
years service they may be retired ON half
salary. the average OF the salary for the last
five years Of service being the basis Of ad-
justment. Fer example, a teacher who has
drawn for the last five years of a twenty
five Yeas service $3.50 month, or $1,000
year, may be retired on $500 year. While
The CALL has always advocated liberal sal
aries to teachers, we do not think that a pen
sion sheme is for the general good of the
department 1t is based upon a vicious
principle, that of distinction between per
sons employed by the public and Of those
employed in private pursuits, The inevita-
bic result will be Il reduction in salaries. 1t
Will be urged that if teachers are provided
for by pensions they need not be paid more
than enough for bare living. Should this
bill prevail We may look for proposition
u reduce salaries to level with those Of
Eastern c!ties-that is from 40 to 30 per cent.

SLCPPING OVER.

At a dinner given at the Aston House, New
York, to the HUn. Roger A. Pryor, Mr..
Chauncey Depew is reported to have said:
If | am TO name the typical American the
man who loves and believes in his country be
yond everything else, the min who determining
once in what direction his duty leads. cannot be
sweryed from the path, the man who IS dosgedly
persistent IN what he believes to be right, the
man who thinks not OF self, but of his country
and its needs, would name Grover Cleveland
Coming INTO the highest position in the land
without previous experience, he won the afiec-
ticn of his party and commanded the respect
ana admiration OF his opponents. / find myself
IN one OF the proudest positions Of my life IN be
Ing permitted to present to you Grover Cleveland
as the typical American.
1t would be surprising if a man who talks
so much as Mr.. Depew should not saw some
foolish things. Mr.. Depew is also so ex-
tremely amiable so gushingly genial, that
the impulse to eXtol political opponent
cannot be always resisted. But Mr.. Depew
will find himself nearly alone in his esti-
mate Of Mr.. Cleveland. Comparatively few
Democrats regard him as a typical Ameri-
can. Mr.. Depew himself is much better
example of that type of man. 1t is true
that Mr. Cleveland reached the high
est position in the land without train
ing, but he did not realize expectations.
Samuel j. Tilden once said that
the Democrats would need to poll much
more than half the vo;e of the whole coun-
try TO elect President, but when the party
elected one, it would hold power for twenty
years. Mr.. Tilden himself might have made
this prediction good. Mr.. Tilden would
at least have avoided the errors which
wrecked the party under Cleveland. The
"doggedly pc rsistent" trait in Mr.. CIeve-
lands character may be admitted. But an
American motto is ''to be sure you are right
and then go ahead" Mr.. Cleveland, un-
trained in craftsmanship as Mr.. Depew ad-
mits him to have been, began to give lessons
before he had passed out of the A B stages
of the profession. There is hardly prom
inent man in either party who does not bet
ter answer the general idea of typical
American than Mr. Cleveland

MORE OF HER DUPES.


Mrs. Inman Has Not Been Idle Since
She Came This City.
Maud Inman, the woman arrested Tues
day on charge of swindling d. r. Benjamin
of Denver, is Likely to have other serious
charges made against her this week. The
officers of the Associated Charities say that
she appealed to them on the 14th of last
January for aid, stating that she lived at 900
Market street, w as sick, had nothing to eat,
and her room rent was due. Her pitiful tale
was not doubted and she received IS. Later,
on ticket signed by Mayor Pond, she was
assisted to the extent of So. The Mayor re-
quested the society to help the woman. On
January oath she presented card from 4
Mr. Stetson and got SIS from the Robinson
BeQnest Fund.
When it was too late. the Associated Char
tiles people discovered that the woman had
received money from the Robinson Fund in
di tferent charitable institutions, each time
assuming false surname while adhering to
the given name of Maud. So, when she
moved to 2440 Mission street. and applied
for relief on April 1st she was refused.
A man named Ho1jen, VINO lives at Six
teenth and Mission streets, 1t is said, was
duped by Mrs. Inman. He agreed to take
vapor baths at 81 each at her establishment,
but discontinued them after the fifth expert
ence. He next heard of her through an at
torney who presented a bill for 500, and he
was given to understand that there would
be trouble if it was not paid. To save
trouble" it is represented, she blackmailed
him ont of $40

The election which is now close at hand
will be fair test as TO what can be done
with Buckley and his associates. Our cltl-
Zeps are as we'll informed now as they VIII
ever be as to the methods of these men. We
have seen a Beard Of Supervisors for sew
eral wears past in office who cared literally
nothing for the people but would vote ior
any scheme which would benefit their as
sOciates. We have a Mayor, who is now
a candidate for Governor, who has been OF
no possible use to our citizens. 1t was his
duty TO watch the management OF the city
business and he could have entered SUITS,
and by 50 doing put an end to plumber
ing schemes if he had been so disposed, but
he never lifted his hand in behalf Of his
constituents. Polling places at the last
election were, in many Instances, located in
ont of the way places, where frauds could
lave been easily committed, and the re-
countingOf ballots brought to light a mass
of corruption which was appalling. We ap-
prehend that our citizens generally know
that our judiciary system has been almost
at the mercy of the plunderers, for they have
had the selection of our judges. The Sher-
ifs Office and the heads Of departments have
been in some instances filled by the Great
ureS Of single man. 1t has been notorious
that jury trials were unce tain, but how
could any person wonder that this would
be the case with Sach men as have been
swarming about the City Hall? We urge
that the voters of San Francisco realize that
we cannot have any reforms unless we put
down BuckleyiSm. The question now arises
rs to whether the agents of Buckley will be
able TO induce any considerable number OF
voters to go 10 the polls and vote Buekley's
crowd into office again. II our citizens
should lie So indscreet as to do this we need
not expect reform for some time TO come, for
Buckley will be more firmly entrenched
than ever before, for in such an event he
will have the next Legislature. and San
Francisco will be tied hand and foot. Buck
ley now has moSto of the members Of the Fire
Department, Give him the next Legislature,
that is elect his mem berS TO that body, and
give him the Governor, and are we so short
sighted as not TO realize that he viii procure
the passage of such laws as Will give him
control of the police force in San Francisco?
Buckley has devised a scheme OF pensions
which he believes will enable him to control
the P0!ire Department and the School De-
paltment, jast rs he has the Fire Depart
ment Reform is difficult at best, for about
the City Hall there has grown up system
of corruption almost unparalleled in the
United States.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
a Summary of the Work Done and to BE
Done This Coast.

a Summary of the Work Done and to BE
Done This Coast.
A good deal of interest is manifested by
many of the citizens OF California as to the
work of the Geological Survey on this Coast
The following will give such some idea OF
what has been and is being done.
Work has been going on here for about
ten years. The only geological investigation
that has been completed is that of the quick
silver DEPOSITS OF The Coast. This was under
the cnaIge of G. +. Becker, assisted by II.
w. Turner and Waldemar Lindgren. The
Quarto report. with atlas, can be obtained
Tor small priceless than S3-by applying
to the bureau at Washington. Since COM
pieiing the quicksilver investigation, the
same party, under charge of Mr.. Becker, has
been at work on the geology of the gold belt
of the Sierra NevadaS. Waldemar Lindgren
has in hand the field geological work of
the central portion of the district from Sierra
County south to AmadOr.
Ii. ". Turner is doing the geological work
in Plumas and Butte counties, the area to
the south of Amador, including the area of
the proposed \ oSemte National Park,
which includes not only the almost unique
Yosemite, but also an extremely rugged
group OF mountains lying tu the north Of
the main Toulumue River, and at pre- sent
inaccessible TO tourists. Mount CONFESS.
where Professor Davidson had a party this
year, is one of the group, the most ragged Of
them lying Still further to the north and
northwest. 1t will be several years before
the COLO belt work is finished.
j. 5. Diler has for some years been en-
gagged in geological work TO the north of the
tortieth parallel His work is also incom-
plete though progressing steadily.
The geological maps are constructed on
Typographical contour map as basis. This
Typographical mapping has been nearly or
quite completed to the north of the fortieth
parallel. The sheets are four miles to the
inch.
The sheets to the south of the fortieth par
allel Ghe gold belt area, are on the scale of
two miles to the inch, and are not yet fin
ished further south than Calaveras County
When the survey has finished its work in
this State, years hence, California will be
furnished with as good topograh cal and
geological maps as her much older and, in
some respects, more favored Eastern sisters.

in mind that the precinct registry officers are
composed of two Democrats to one Republic
can. There was an effort to have two Re
publicans appointed against two Democrats,
but it failed The Democratic Board of
Elec ton Commissioners opposed it yehe-
mrntly, and the court sustained them on
technical point. The law intended TO pro-
vide for two Of each party, but failed to
make its purpose clear. In the face of this
two for one representation in the precinct
boards the Buckley organ claims that the
fraudulent names are mostly Republican.
THE CALL believes that Republicans had
better watch pretty carefully the dolngs OF
Buckley's managers of elections.

CAUSE AND CURE FOR POVERTY.

The cause of poverty is low wages the
cure, comparatively high wages. All these
efforts in the direction of cheaper produc-
tons are cOntrivances to peIpetuate the
conditions of poverty. Cheaper dwellings,
cheaper food, cheaper clothes only mean in
the end lower wages. Things cannot be
produced cheaply without employing cheap
labor If anybody devises a scheme by
which the necessaries of life will be cheap
ened he opens the way to drop labor to a
lower notch than it had hitherto reached
ii the chief competing nations Of the world
would come to an agreement to paw labor
double its present wages, poverty, except as
incidental to sickness or other personal mis-
fortunes, would disappear. Men and women
who were able to work would earn enough
TO live comfortably. Tie demand for the
products Of labor would be vastly increased
by the greater ability of thS' masses of the
people. But competition f5os not permit
general agreement to increase wages. The
struggle for the markets of the world COM
pels competing nations to produce as cheaply
as possible. One cut in the cost of produc-
ton only invites another. Each competing
nation aims to reduce the cost to the lowest
point, to the end that il may undersell rivals
in the common market 1t will be bad day
fer the people Of the United States when our
Governm ent throws open our markets to the
cheap products Of Europe and Asia and
seeks compensation in a life-and-deatb COM
petition for the markets of the world And
:. yet this is what the free-traders advocate.
Some among them are not ready to accept
the full force of their teachings, but they
are tending that way by degrees. A strictly
revenue tariff is but shade preferable to
free trade. All the revenue the Government
needs may be derived from tax on articles
which. under present conditions. we are
compelled to import.
