THE WORLDS FAIR.

The National Commission and the local
directory have come to an understanding
which, in their estimation, warrants the
President in issuing proclamation to the
nations of the world announcing that a
" orld's Fair will be held at the time he may
designate. The proclamation issued the fair
must go On whatever the result may be.
: There is less danger of failure through di-
!: vided authority than at one time. The local
directory have the matter in their own
hands. The National Commission will act
as consulting board without authority.
The fifteen departments will each have a
chief, who will be appointed by the Direc-
t0r-General. I he Board of joint Control is
-. composed of an equal number of Directors
and National Commissioners, and conse-
quently, except in the improbable event of
a Director voting with the Commissioners,
the Board of joint Control will have no
power to reverse any action resolved upon
by the Direetor-General. While the exposi-
lion would have been given more national
character if the direction had been intrusted
to the National Commission, this broad
plan OF action was practically abandoned
" hen local guaranty fund was accepted.
Tile proper course now Is to accept the Stu
alton and make the fair as mach of sue
cess as pos sible. 1t Will be a Chicago Fair
unless Chicago rises to the occasion and
makes it Worlds Fair held at Chicago.
Nv here there may be some disposition to
criticize the action of the National Commits
sion in retiring from active management
there was really no choice. The local direc-
tors have control of the local fund, and the
only thing the National Commission can do
is to impress their views on the local diree-
tors as much as possible. We do not despair
of the fair Now that Chicago is given full
central her pride will be melted to produce
the best possible results

STAND by THE TARIFF.

There are three or four Republican papers
which think that the Republicans should
=. N. :eify the Mckinley tariff at the short
session of ,Congress. Principal among these
.paperS are tie Chicago Tribune, the St
Louis GlOJe-Dem0erdt and the St Paul
Pioneer Press. These papers say that
unless the suggested changes are made the
Republican party cannot win in 1892. The
New York Tribune, on the other hand, is
confident that the proposed notifications
will render success in 1892 impossible. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, from Republican papers of
repHfe. that Republican success in 1892 is one
of the events that cannot possibly happen. In
: that case if success is out Of the question, it
is better 10 deserve to win if we do not
The Mckinley bill was passed in the belief
that it would be for the general good of the
country. Nothing that can happen before

no reason why this act should be amended
this winter that did not apply when the bill
was under consideration. II the Repub-
licanS amend 1t, it will be because they are
afraid that upOn trial the people will reject
it. THE CALL hopes 20 see the party stand

the new tariff does not meet expectations, it
may be amended without shame by the
party that is responsible Tor it. The prin-

THE ExpIoKAr1oN OF DELPHI.

Four y ears ago contract was made be-
tween the Greek and the French Govern
ments for the eypl oration of the ruins of
Delphi at the cost of France. The contract
was to last for five years, during which time
the French were to be free to explore the
ruins, the Greek Government agreeing to
extinguish the titles to land in the village of
Castri, which occupies the site of the old
town of Delphi For some reason or other
this contract was not ca rried out. Each
Government charged the other with failing
to comply with its covenant, and the agree
ment was abrogated. The Greek Govern
ment then offered the same contract to the
American School at Athens and stipulated
that a guarantee fund of 100000 francs
should be raised as warranty of perform
ance by the school. That sum has now been
raised in this country and nothing remains
to be done but to execute the papers. When
that Formally has been complied with the
site OF the greatest temple OF the ancient
world Will pass into American hands.
Delphi has been very imperfectly ex-
plored. Some thirty years ago the eminent
archeologist Karl Muller made some excava-
tons and uncovered Il wall of the temple of
Apollo, which was covered with ancient in
scriptiops. few years afterward the
archaeological school of Athens took up the
task where Muller had left off and dug IN
more tablets and plaques with inscriptions
upon them. But the school was, and is,
short of money. and the peasants of Castri
demanded exorbtant prices for allowing
explorations on their lands. Thus the work
has never been prosecuted with vigor Now
the Greek Government has settled with the
people of Castri and there will be nothing to
hinder systematic excavations and explora-
tians ON the historic site by the American
School.
The results should be valuable. According
to the chronologers the temple of Apollo at
Delphi was built twelve hundred years be-
fore Christ. just at the time of the siege Of
Troy. However this may be, the beginning
of the annals of historic Greece found
Delphi and the oracle fourishing. The
walls OF the temple were hung with trophies
from Marathon, which is about the most
ancient event in Cheek history that rests on
reliable evidence. From that time forth,
until the spoliation of the temple by Sulla
and by the early Roman Emperors, the
oracle figures in every conspicuous trans
action in Greek history. and its inscriptions
and memorial objects constitute in them
selves contemporary record which should
be invaluable for comparison with the writ

CHANGING OFFICIALS.

How easy a matter it seems for one news
paper to be mistaken as to what another has
said For instance. our contemporary, the
alta California, publishes the following as
our opinion as to what the Mayor-elect
should do:
The CALL thinks it is the proper thing for
Mayor.elect OF this city to ignore public policies
and interests, and the first time he speaks
after his election TO announce that he is a spolls
m an from Bitter Creek. But what worse could
any one have done?
THE CALL does not think the Mayor-elect
should IGNORE public policies and inter
ests," but, upon the contrary, it believes he
should consult the public interest above all
things. We suppose our contemporary fell
into an error from The CALL saying that it
believed in making clean sweep of the city
offices, where the Mayor-eleet will have the
appointing power The truth is substanli-
ated by the old adage that "a new broom
sweeps Clean" but in this city there can be
no question OF the advisability Of clean
sweep, in order to be rid of the contamina-
ton introduced into the various departments
of the city government By Buckley's min

WHERE TIE MONEY GOES.

There is some discussion going on in our
newspapers relative to the payment OF taxes
1t has been suggested that division INTO
two parts. one payable in six months ana
the other in twelve mon tbs from the time
the assessment is made, would render the
payment of taxes much easier than IL is
when the whole amount is furnished IN one
sum at the end of the year. as at present.
We imagine it would be better still. and
more satisfactory to the public, to reduce
taxation altogether. One-half OF the sum
which is drawn from our citizens III the form
of taxes ought to answer all practical pur-
poses, and it would if it were honestly and
economically used Now a large amount
may be said TO stick to the fingers os the
men who control the offices. The masters
and their underlings absorb the money-a
very large amount of money truly. We say
that one-balf of the money paid as taxes by
the entire State is not needed. This is true
of both State and city. In San Francisco
the people are plundered right and left. The
city printing is but an Insignificant item.
The Street Department absorbs vast
amount. The City Hall Improvements suck
up money as a sponge sucks up water.
Nearly every Office in the city has in it more
or less blood-suckers. 1t is money here,
there and everywhere. SupernumerarieS are
found in every quarter. 1t requires large
amount Of money to satisfy these men and
the hangers-on. We say one-half of the
money drawn from the people in the form of
taxation would answer every purpose if it
were honestly and economically used. Open
frauds are practiced, as open as has been
that OF the city printing but what OF it?
Take such case before Grand jury and
the chances have seemed as ten to one that
nothing could be done with it. Is this con-
dition of affairs to last? THE CALL hopes
not, but much depends upon the incoming
administration, but far more upon the peo-
pie generally. VIII our citizens, after the

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The report of the Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics shows healthful condition of
our foreign trade. Exports for the year
ending October 3lst are given at $500, 675, 600
imports for the same period, SSH 1874, 900.
The exports have increased over the same
period in 1899 by SCI, OF, 900, and imports
have increased S51, 231. Ooo. This must be
accepted as reasonable increase for an or
binary year, and one not gained by an undue
increase of imports. Another gratifying
feature is that exports of gold have fallen
off from S63 1861 900 in 1889 to S23 752, 900 for
the present year. Exports of silver were
last year $50, ABS, 600, against silver exports
this year amounting to S2a,o24, 600. The i'm
ports of gold were S15.352, 900 this year,
against 81, 793, 900; imports of. silver, SO,
$4,000 this year, against $40, 169, 600 last
year. The report shows that we have in
creased our exports OF commodities, and
thereby kept gold and silver in the country.

ings of the historians. They should shed
light on the theosophy of the Greeks which
cannot be obtained from any other source.
Delphi is further memorable as the place
of meeting of the Amphlctyonic Council,
and may thus be said to be the cradle Of
federal government. The council was so
limited in its sphere of action that it can
not fairly be compared with the Congress
CT he United States; but its Constitution
contained the germ of federation, and had
peace prevailed SO as to admit of the eXten-
sion Of its powers to fit the varying circum-
stances of the day, it would, perhaps, to
certain extent, have anticipated the work OF
jefferson, Washington and their contem-
poraries by couple of thousand years.
