A ROUND rHn WORLD TOUR.

Three rather interesting tours are an
nouneed. They are TO start from Liver
pool, England. On January 18th the
new Canadian Pacific steamship En-
press of India Will start from that
port for Gibraltar she will then touch
at Malta and Alexandria. remaining
at this last port long enough to enable
the passengers to visit Cairo and the Pyra-
mids; then. entering the Suez Canal, she will
touch at Port Said, Cape de Gale, Singa-
pore, Hong Kong and Yokohama; thence
she will sail for Victoria, B. c., at which
point the passengers will take the Canadian
Pacific for Montreal, and return to Liver
pool by the Allan line. The tour will be re-
peated on February 18th by the new steamer
Empress of China, aud on March 18th by
the Empress of Japan.
1t is not stated how long the trip will
take, but reckoned by the time now consumed
by steamers, it will exceed the time spent
by Miss Bsland and her rival in circum-
navigating the globe. Probably three
months would be near the mark. The cost
Of the trip, including berlhS and meals, is to
be $500 per passenger. That, if we remem-
Der rightly, was the charge made by the
owners of the Quaker City for her famous
tour from New York through the Mediter-
ranean, a voyage with which Mark Twain
has made most readers familiar in his we'll
known "InnoceDts Abroad"
1t seems likely that the new ships will be
crowded. Six hundred dollars is not much
for three months holiday ana everybody
would like to 90 round the world. Few
people realize that, once at sea. all meridians
are much alikc-that one ocean resembles
all other oceans-and that the only real
sightseeing on such tour as this will be
confined 10 the ten OF twelve days during
which the ships will lie in the ports visited.
But acknowledging the globe is like hear
ing an oratorio-it is thing rather to have
done than to do.
We have no doubt that the Canadian
Pacific would be happy to invite Americans
TO join the tourists bands by making the
same rate from New York and back as it
has named for the trip from Liverpool ana
back. There are many more people in this
country who can afford such a trip than
there are in England. 1t costs a first-clas IS
passenger at the present time about $3.50 TO
go from San Francisco to London and the
same to go from this port to Hopg-Kong.
Thus, by spending just 500 more the
tourists by the s. Empress steamers would
add to these voyages the trip from Hong
Kong round Southern Asia, UP the Indian
Ocean, through the Suez anal, through the
Mediterranean, and up the Bay Of Biscay
and the Eastern Att ntic to England

WHAT MIGnr HAVE BEEN.

The recent fall in silver inspires the oppo-
nents of tie existing act to point out what
they consider the defects in the measure.
1t is said that the market value of the 412R-
grain silver dollar has fallen from 81 cents TO
81 cents. They profess to regard this depre
citation as conclusive that the present act
will not bring the white metal up u the old
ratio with the yellow metal. Fluctuations
in the market value of silver were expected
when the existing act was passed. Ii was
known that there was a considerable
amount of silver which rise in the market
price would bring in sight. The unexpected
rise of the first few days of the existence of
the act brought out more of this accumula-
ton than the spectators were prepared TO
carry. a temporary depreciation is the
natural consequence. Let us now see what
would be the condition Of things if free sill
yer coinage had been adopted. With free
silver coinage silver dollars would become
the dollar Of commerce. Gold, however
would still be necessary for certain pur-
poses. Goods bought in Europe would be
payable in gold. All debts due abroad
would be payable in gold. Our national
bonds are on Their face payable in coin Of
either metal, but it has been the rule of the
Treasury Department to pay them principal
and interest in gold. They have acquired a
value and passed into new hands on the
strength Of the assumption that payments
would continue to be made in gold. 1t might
be held, therefore, that it would be bad
faith to pay them in silver While gold was
at a premium The debts Of the country
are made payable in gold by special
contract. For many years promises to pay
Of all kinds have contained provision that
payment should be made in gold coin. Mean
time tradesmen would be selling goods for
silver, salaries and wages would be payable
in silver. Tie man or woman who works
by the day or month does not have a con-
tract STIMULATING that wages should be paid
in gold. When payment is made in legal
tender the debtor has satisfied all demands
Under free silver coinage, therefore, we
should have two kinds OF money for separate
purp0ses-one kind, the cheaper, for cur
rent purposes. and one kind, the dearer, for
the payment of debts. Workmen would be
paid in silver, and when they should be
called upon to pay debt they would have
to take their silver and buy gold with it.
The present discount on silver is in the
neighbOrhood of 20 per cent. Under free
coinage it would take, at the present market
price of silver. 100 silver dollars to buy 50
gold dollars. Under the present law, which
limits the coinage of silver, the dollars OF
the two metals are equal. The silver dollar
is interchangeable with the gold dollar. In
time the bullion value OF the silver dollar
will be equal to the bullion value Of the gold
dollar. and in the meantime there viii be no
disturbance Of values. Silver will fluctuate
but there is hardly doubt but that from
year to year it will show gain.

KIN DRIED SPIRITS.

When the Chronicle came out in favor of
the Democratic candidate for Public Ad-
minStrator, Republicans asked each other
if it was another POSt-Siebe case-if the
Chronicle had new press or a new any
thing else which it proposed to make caudi-
dates pay for. The answer appeared the
next day. A second article left little doubt
of the purpose of the first. The only charge
against the Republican candidate is that
that there is a lawyer behind him. As Pub
lie Administrators ara OF necessarily law
yers, they have to have legal advisers. Wal
ter Leman had, Philip Roach had, and the
incumbent has. Such estates as the late
MI Blythe left TO the care of Public
Administrator cannot be handled without
legal advice. 1t is not probable that the
Chronicle Will cause MIR. Wadham to be Sc
yerely scratched. This is not good year
for papers which have new presses they ex-
pect candidates to pay for

SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
Two or tbree days ago the newspapers

Two or three days ago the newspapers con-
tanned New York dispatch which stated
that the Duke OF Marlborough's behavior
at a theatrical performance had been so
boiSterOuS that he had been Kissed by the
audience. Acquaintance Of the Duke have
not been surprised by subsequent dispatch
declaring that there was no foundation for
tie story. AS The Marquis Of Blandford the
Dukes habits were bad. His early matri-
monial experience was unfortunate; but he
has never been considered SO ill-bred as to
destroy the pleasure of theatrical audience
by loud talk ana unseemly demeanor.
In their intercourse with titled Europeans
Americans are apt TO Oscillate between an
extreme Of adulation and an extreme of
contempt We either fall down and worship
the Lords and Dukes who visit US or we
pick up tid-bits of scandal about them, roll
them under our tongues with relish and en-
courage newspapers to plaster them with
calumny. Few Americans can reconcile
themselves to the common-sense idea of
treating Doblemen as they treat other peo-
ple-with respect if their behavior invites
respect; with aversion if they mis- conduct
themselves, but always with considerable pc
likeness. The roture insists on making a
distinction between men of title and men
without handles to their names. When it
is not fawnDg it is apt to be snarling. 1t
viii not forgive my Lord for having been
born in the purple, but it cannot conceal its
eXultation when his Lordship condesceBds
to cast the shadow Of his presence on the
piebeian carpet.
We see lots of these noble creatures in San
Francisco. 1t is the thing for lordlings to
visit the metropolis of the Pacific We have
them OF all sorts and conditions. Young
men with long legs and briar-wood
lipes in their pockets are to be seen almost
every day Issuing from the Palace, staring
through an eye-giass into shop-windows or
at pretty passing faces. Some of these take
their seats in Parliament when they return
home and begin the business of governing
a mighty nation. We have had other
titled Englshmen who seemed to think
that they were here on a frolic strictly
alcoholic, and who in conversation ibbed
like an EraHiRer reporter. 1t is obvious
that it will not do to treat both these classes
alike, and that an attempt to classify them
by the rank which they hold in their own
country will lead TO confusion and misun-
Outstanding.
When the present Duke of Marlborough.
then plain George Churchill, Lord Bland
ford by cour tesy, married the daughter of
the Duke of Abercorn, the alliance was con-
sidered suitable in all respects. lie was
very poor, his five immediate predecessors
in the ducal title having managed to squan-
der the princely fortune which the first
Duke left to his widow; but he would be-
come, if be lived, seventh Duke of MARI
borough, and he had a fine estate at Blen-
helm, on which he raised turnps aud cab
bages, peaches and grapes for the London
market. The pair lived together under all
manner of trials and fluctuations for four
teen years, then they parted. For five years

now THE PUBLIC Is DUPED.

Two years ago The CALL, almost single
handed, tried to break down BuckleyiSm in
san Francisco, so far as the city election
was concerned. 1t succeeded in obtaining
some changes, but the friends of the boss Sc
cured their candidate for Mayor and con-
trolling influence in the Board Of Supervis-
ors. The boss also succeeded in eleetng the
most of his candidates for the Legislature.
What has been the result? just what The
CALL predicted. Corruption has reigued
supreme, ana there has been literally no
loiy to interfere to stop the plunderers in
their unholy work The proprietors Of this
journal tried to have the proper parties in
s;itute suits to put down certain frauds, but
they did not appear willing to Interfere with
the work Of the boss. IRE public do know
at this time that it is not safe to permit a few
corrupt men to control the election of all of
our officers. There is no division of opinion
upon this point. The public do not, how
ever, realize the amount of corruption that
exists. They do not know, for ms. ance, that
it is with the utmost difficulty that jury
can be~-obtained in San Francisco all OF
whose members VIII find an honest verdict
in our courts. We mean by this that affairs
are so managed that one or more jurymen
are likely to be placed in a panel who can
be approached, and who will not honestly
find verdict in an ordinary suit at law.
This TEE CALL urges is the condition of af-
fairs in San Francisco. Is it not shameful
that few corrupt men should be able to say
who shall be our Judges, our Sheriff and our
County Clerk and their deputies? The
CALL has in mind case where man was
under Indictment for felony who was in one
of our great conventions which had the nom
inaton of municipal officers for the present
election, and who actually took part in its
proceedings, how many more delegates
with the worst kind of record sat in the
conventions we have not the means of de-
termining, but we doubt not there were
others who would do the unholy work of
those whose influence put them there. Con-
Yentions which nominate Judges and other
municipal officers should not be filed with
men of the character we have depicted.

NOT A STOWAWAY.

During three or four days the local columns
of the Examiner were filled with details of
stowaways whom it was charged the Repub-
licans had caused to be registered. On Fri
day the election board, composed of three
Democrats to one Republican, examined
one hundred OF these cases and failed to find
one that was not properly on the list. We
do not know whether the Examiner saw
things that do not exist or whether the
Democratic board failed to see things which
do exist. The value OF Examiner testimony
in the estimation of fellow Democrats is
fairly well defined in this case. The
Examiner had myriad of stowaways whom
its reporters had carefully located, but the
board could not find one. Papers like the
Examiner should not remain long in one
place; they are certain to be found out.
