sIEBE FOR ASSESSOR.

Great efforts are being made to defeat the
Republican candidate for Assessor. Buckley
knows that he cannot save the whole ticket
and he is concentrating his force on the
Office that will be the most valuable TO him.
The Assess0rshiD is valuable in two ways
1t affords places for a large number of men,
and it gives the Assessor power, if he is so
disposed, to realize large sums by increasing
or decreasing valuations. Now, the real
question to determine is if Buckley is a
proper person TO exercise such power. Are
Democrats, who know something of his
methods, satisfied TO entrust Buckley with
the power 10 tx both The rate of taxation and
the value of taxable property? THE CALL
feels justified in assuming that Buckley will
control the Office if his candidate is elected
from the fact that he has exercised such
power in the past. What have Democratic
officials succeeded in doing that Buckley has
not wanted done? Examples may be found
in the last Legislature and the present
Board of Supervisors. The value of real eS-
tate in this city is largely matter of opinion.
In some cases we find it valued I'D to its mar
ket value and in others far below it. The
Board of Equalization has something to say
about values, but the board is not supposed
to know what influences have determined
the values presented to them. Mr.. Siebe,
the Republican candidate for Assessor, has
business record which insures faithful
performance of the duties of the Office if the
people elect him.

ADVICE TO VOTERS.

THE CALL advises every person who is
entitled to a vote in this city to go to the
polls and cast his ballot in opposition to
the Buckley plunderers. We believe, all
things considered, that it is best to vote for
the Republican candidates, for such policy
will be more likely to put down the vicious
crowd which has been pIundering the people
than any other. In any event. not single
candidate upon Buckley's ticket ought to be
voted for. Some of our citizens have here
tofore gone upon the principle that they
could vote for a portion of Buekey's eandi-
dates with safety, but such has not been the
case. Men who consent to assist Buckley
with their names even, we take it for granted.
ought not to be elected. Consider the vicious
ness of person taking aposition upon Buck
ley'S ticket, when he must know that what
he is doing viii tend to elect bad men, such
for instance, as we have had for several
years past as Supervisors.

A BUCKLEY oKGANIzATIoN.

We publish the following communication
in relation to the burning Of the Grand Hotel
in this city on Monday morning:
Old fremen declare that the fire was the
wolst managed affair they ever saw. Buck
ley's lambs strolled along one or two hours
after the second alarm. Then engines were
sent away, as they claimed they hadn't water
enough to keep them all going Various
other excuses were offered, but Buckley.
Rainey & Co. were blamed. Ii the fire ap-
paratus was not able to cope with such a
contiagration, it was because the money was
not used to good advantage. If tile water
mains are not large enough, what excuse
has Buckley's Board of Supervisors got to
offer?
Ii is pretty well understood that the Fire
Department is not what it ought to be, that
it contains men who should not be in there.
The department should not be run as po-
litical machine. which it is generally charged
with being. If Buckley's ticket for NUM-
cipal officers should be successful to-day, it
IS understood that the Fire Department will
soon be even worse than it is at present.

Lop OFF THE BAnNAoLEs.

1t is as much for the interests of Demo-
Gratis as Republicans to stamp out the rule
of the plunderers, for no Democrat who Will
not truckle to Buckley can possibly obtain
an office. Clean out the corruptionists, and
honest Democrats will then have chance
to obtain nomination for Office. If we can
rid the city of the gang which has robbed
the people for several years past, we can
then dispose Of the lesser would-be bosses.
What The CALL is after is an honest munl-
cipal government, one in which we shall not
be plundered. The very name Of the boss
has become odious, but not much more so
than the men who have been playing into
his hands. We advise voters to drop every
candidate who has truckled to Buckley and
his gang, for be assured such material will
not prove valuable TO the public.

NO TIME WASTED.
A Brief Meeting of the Board
of Supervisors.

The Board Of Supervisors convened last
Supervisor Becker occupied the chair. The
Wright, Boyd, Pescia, Ebert, Wheelan,
Pilster, Kingwell, Barry and Noble.
The following petitions, protests, ETC..
were received and referred to the proper
committees: From John Sehaefer for per-
mission to remove building from 10 Full
ton street to Turk street, between Steiner
and Pine; from property-owners for the
grading, sewering and matchmaking of
Maple street, between Clay and Sacra-
mento; from the Point Lobos Association
box and fully equipped engine company
in the district known as Richmond; from
property owners for the grading of Green
street, between Scott and Devisadero; and
from pr0perty-0wners for permission to
present their views before franchise is
granted the Mission-street railroad to ex-
tend its line.
A communication was received from the
City and County Attorney advising that
the name of Amity alley be stricken from
the city map and also giving 1t as his opinion
that the assessment for the grading of the
crossing of Twenty-ffth street and Potrero
avenue as appealed from by j. NJ. Lynch
is valid as to the objections raised.
A reference to the Street Committee was
ordered OF the resolutions to establish grades
on Diamond at Twenty-secOnd, AlyaradO and
Twenty-third streets.
The application of G. d. Vincent to be re-
leased from his contract to pave Kentucky
street. between Fourth and Denmark,
created little discussion.
Supervisor Barry moved to have the mat
ter Indefinitely postponed, stating that Vim
cent desired to be released from his con-
tract on the ground that the railroad COM
pany at present is unwilling to pay its pro
rata of the expense.
Supervisor Ebert asked if there is any
probability of the board being able to pre-
vail upon the company to comply with the
wishes OF the property-ownerS.
Supervisor Barry was of the opinion that
the matter could be settled with satsfac-
ton, and for this reason he was unwilling to
release Vincent from his contract.
4 The other members of the board cOincided
with him and action on the application was
Indefinitely postponed.
The application of the Potrero and San
Francisco Toll Road Company, for fran
chise to maintain Il toll road on Kentucky
street, from Fourth to Sixth avenues south,
for period of eighteen months, was in
definitely postponed.
The Fidelia Verein was granted permits
sion to suspend banner across Market
street, near Fourth, announcing masQuer-
ade ball
George w. Hogan and George Douglass
were appointed drivers of police patrol
wagons at monthly salary of 500.
supervisor Wright objected to having
these places filed by the Chief of Police,
declaring that he was DESTROYS of making
"a dying effort to name an appODtee.
The beard, however, thought the appoint
ments of the Chief satisfactory. Adjourn
ment followed.

AGAINST SILVER.

There is no vote on record which shows
the Democratic party in favor of the free
coinage of silver A good many Democrats
voted in favor of an amendment to the Sill
yer Bill, then before the House, which pro-
vided for free coinage, but there is no reason
20 believe that majority of either House
would have voted Tor a free coinage bill On
its final passage. There was a general be-
lief that President Harrison would veto a
free coinage bill if one should pass, and
Democrats voted for the free coinage amend
ment without any expectation that the
Silver Bill with that amendment would be-
come a law. But Clunie is trying to make
the people of the Fifth District believe that
he favors free silver coinage.

THE EXACT FIGURES.

A few DAYS since The CALL printed an
article intended to illustrate the effect the
Mckinley Tariff Bill would have upon our
foreign trade. The Alta had announced
that the foreign trade Of San Francisco,
amounting to S60,0OO,000 a year, would be
largely sacrificed should the Mckinley tariff
remain in force. The Journal Of Commerce
kindly correctS these figures and states that
the Mckinley bill does not affect so large a
proportion of importationS as the article
supposed. That our readers may not be led
aStTay by an article that was Intended
mainly as an illustration, we give the exact
statement of our foreign trade as we find 1t
III the columns of our commercial contempt
rary. In the year 1889 our imports were
SOL, 2SS, sos; exports. $50, 033 1884, total. $780,
321, 500. Our contemporary adds: The I'M
portations of goods affected by the Mckinley
bill have never exceeded SS,3l1. 602 the i'm
portations of last year, and have usually
fallen much short of it.. If but little
mere than SS,OOO,OOO of our impOrtationS are
affected by the Mckinley tariff the loss to
our foreign trade cannot well be greater. 1t
certainly will not prevent the importation OF
articles on which the duties are not in
creased. We are reminded also that our
sugar imports for last year were SIS, 176, l4S,
and in the same paragraph the prediction is
made that it will be twenty years before
even a small proportion of the importations
affected by the Mckinley bill will be made
in this State. We venture the prediction
that under the Mckinley tariff the greater
part OF the sugar we now import will be pro-
duced in this State within four years, if the
act remain in force so long. The journal
speaks of iron, steel and manufactures of
wooden. cotton and linen goods as articles
that viii not be produced in this State. We
venture the prediction. on the other hand,
that except drugs, chemicals, opium and &C.
ment, every kind of goods mentioned as
forming he bulk of our imports will within
ten years be the product of the soil and
labor of California.

A PERSONAL CANVASS.

Clunie is asking voters in the Fifth Dis
trict to scratch the Republican candidate
and vote for him. He thinks he may be in a
position TO do something for Republicans
who comply with his request OF course
there is no law against this method of cleo
tioneering. But it looks like surrender of
his ticket and an admission that the princi-
pies OF the party he represents are not pop
ular. Clunie has made personal canvass
from the start. He bases his claim to a re-
election on the assertion tnat he persuaded
Republican Congress to make certain APP
preDriations for public buildings in his dis
trict. It would be much more to the purpose

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

1t is generally admitted that John SWEET
will be elected SUPERB ntendent of Schools.
Voters should bear in mind that the efficiency
of the Su perintendent will be much impaired
by the election Of Buckley Board of
Directors. Should seven Buckley candidates
be elected they would have power to prevent
the changes which are necessary to make the
School Department thoroughly non-partisan.
Mr. SWEET was consulted by the convention
in the selection OF candidates for the board
and those nominated were Endorsed by him
and other well-knOwn educators.

POOR OPINION OF DECoYs.

THE CALL has not much consideration for
candidates who lend their names to Buckley
in order to trick our citizens into the cleo

has a respectable man to lend his name to
Buckley when he knows that Buckley holds
him up as a decoy 10 dupe voters? Candi-
dates of this description should be shown
that the public do not believe in the kind of
goodness and honesty which assists in ele-
waiting plunderers to office. If men are so
infatuatei for Office as to run with Buckley
they ought to be defeated.

THE SAME OLD GAME.

In 1880 the Mercy letter was scattered
broadcast over the State in fac-simile form.
Some persons who were acquainted with
Garfeld's handwriting were deceived into
the belief that it was genuine. MIR. Gar
fields denial broke the force of the letter,
but still some thousands voted the Demo-
cratic ticket WHO, but for the letter, would
have voted the Republican. The same
game is being tried again. The Buckley
crowd kept the so-called "Old Pard letter
under lock and key until about five days
before the election, and then started out to
find Markham, who was announced to speak
every night until election day. Would a
genuine letter have been kept from sight
