NEW STATES AND SENATORS.

The bill for the admission OF Wyoming
stands a fair chance of becoming a law.
When it does it will be in order to intro
duce bills for the admission of Idaho,
Arizona, New Mexico and, at a later period,
when the polygamy question has been
settled, Of Utah. Alaska may linger awhile
in the condition of Territory; but it must
follow the procession sooner or later
When it does the Union will contain forty
seven States. OF these fOrty-seven, sixteen
States lying west Of the Missouri River will
contain about one-ninth of the population
of the country, but will cast over one-thrd
OF the entire vote in the Senate. That is to
say, one citizen residing west of the Mis-
souri, will carry the same weight in the
Senate as three men residing in Ohio, New
York or Massachusetts,. This will enable
the new States to override the selfshness
which has been so often manifested by the
more pOpulous csnters of population.
q. New York alone, in 1900, will probably
cast as many votes at the Presidential cleo
ton of that year as the whole sixteen
States Of the extreme West; but under the
Congressional redistribution which will
follow the census of this year New York's
= electoral vote will not be much over one
half that of those sixteen States. Idaho,
with small population, will cast for
President three votes as against four cast
by Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island respectively

CENSUS TAKING.

Census taking appears 10 be attended
with many difficulties. 1t is not possible TO
make people stand still long enough to be
counted. In the general movement one Is
more apt to be missed than to be counted
twice. Still it is necessary TO do the best
we can once in period of years to find out
something about ourselves. The census
that can be dropped without Inconvenience
is the yearly school census. There is hardly
a shadow Of reason why an attempt should
be made each year to ascertain how many
children Of school age there are in the
State, while the records show exactly how
many have attended school the previous
year. THE CALL has received several let
teTs indOrsing the suggestion that the
school census be omitted, Of which the fol-
lowing from teacher of experience is an
example:
Editor Gail: Your article suggesting that the
Public School Fund should bs divided among the
school districts of tile state upon a basis OF at
tendance OF pupils is one Of the best thoughts in
the direction OF economy, justice and purity that
has been offered for long time. For tweuty
years the writer has been engaged in teaching In
this State and opportunities for observation have
been numeI Gus. The result is a knowledge that
questionable practices IN taking school census
are general. Tie present method OF dividing the
School Fund among districts invites these prac-
tices. The school law Section 1853 provides
that 10 districts having ten and less than twenty
school census children ana districts having over
seventy and a fraction OF less than twenty there
shall be apportioned $50 for each census child
or such fraction. Here is direct bid of $50 for
each child the School Census Marshal can Ind.
The writer knew one who found" seven. He
took two from a camping party. one was visitor
In the district, Two were assigned TO family
without children, and one was enumel ated which
was under age and another which was over age.
This strategy made Sl40 for the district. In all
districts where the number OF pupils is just under
the number assigned to one teacher, which is
seventy, ana not less than twenty, there is this
temp tation to fasify reports, or, which is often
done. divide the school district and so draw
double the money and make IL easier for the
teacher as well. HAL.
After giving several examples of the
manner in which the present method. of
distributing the School Fund may be per-
verted our correspondent concludes that a
distribution based upon attendance and
such modification of the school law as
shall make it financial advantage to con-
solidate schools would be steps toward a
much needed reform.

The Wire Tappers Must Answer
for Their Work.

William Fallon and ]. W. Nagle we're
held yesterday in bonds of $4,000 by Police
Judge Rix for trial in the Superior Court
on a change of felony for having tapped the
wires of the Western Union Company.
Detective John Coffey testified that he

William T. Marye on Montgomery street,
near Pine, last Monday morning at 800
o'clock, and through small hole in the cur
tain observed FallOn cut the wire leading to
Klllip d Co.'S pool-room, and make a splice
with wire leading to the room at 31S Pine
street.
A large quantity of insulators, silk-cov-
cred wires and instruments used in teleg-
raphy were introduced in evidence against
the defendants, who had them in their
rooms.
Captain Lees testified that Fallon said he
had been robbed of $500 by the pool-rooms,
and, as he knew of no other way to get
even, did not think he was doing wrong,
morally. Among the articles seized by the
Captain were diagrams for tapping the
pool room wires in St. Louis, Los Angeles,
Kansas City and Omaha, and one of an old

NoN-PARTIsANS.

A New York paper estimates the proba-
bilities of the success of the non-partisan
movement in that city by the number of
voters who are nOn-partisans. Assuming
that there are very few non-partisans in
that or any other American city who are
non-partisanS in the sense of having no
political convictions, it argues that II the
non-partisan movement is to succeed 1t
must do so by winning to its support men
who are partsans in the sense of being
Democrats or Republicans. This is pre-
cisely what all non partisan municipal
movements propose to do. They rely upon
attracting support from both the national
parties. Both Democrats and Republicans
who are not personally interested IN cor
rupt and eXtrayagant municipal govern
ment desire one that is clean and reason
ably economical. The leaders in non
partisan movement know that they have to
make better showing than either political
party would be required to make. They
must, in fact, give reason for their exist
ence. They know that unless they manage
the affairs of the city great deal better
than such affairs have hitherto been man
aged, one or the other of the national par
ties will sweep them out of existence.
In this city Of San Francisco there are,
from local point of view, two parties.
These may be designated the dollar-llmlt
party and the anti-dollar-limit party The
former contend that the revenue derived
from tax levy of per cent on an assessed
valuation fixed in amount is enough for all
reasonable purposes Of government The
anti-dollar-limit party contend that the
! revenue so raised is insufficient. They
want as much more as the men elected to
the several offices may see way to expend.
There are men in both Of the political par
ties who are in favor Of the dollar limit,
and men in both who are opposed to it, A
non-partisan proposition is that dollar-limit
men come from both parties on dollar
limit municipal platform, and that anti
dolar-limit men come together on such a
! platforms as they may see fit TO construct.
The dominant issue in all municipalities is
clean honest government. We want every
department CT government well managed.
! We want a Board Of Supervisors who do
| not belong TO corporations, and who Will
discharge the duties of their Office as a
sacred trust. We want courts in which a
man or woman can get justice without re-
gard to financial, local or political condi-
tions. We want Police Department which
does not constitute itself judge of offenses
and let criminals off for a consideration.
| We want q Fire Department that can buy
material without the condition that an ex-
ira price shall be charged for the benefit of
! the official who makes the purchase. We
| want schools in which promotion is not
| gained. either by teachers or pupils, by
favOritiSm. These, perhaps, are the prin-
cipal things we want, and they are the
| things which, under the present condition
Of things, we do not get.

"A FREE-rkADE ARGUMENT.

The New York Commercial AdUertiSer
says: After good many hundred years
have made commerce honorable the Nc
KiDley bill has been devised for the purpose
Of making it criminal" We have seen in
other free-trade journals similar indications
of a dsordered mind to that we have
quoted Legislation tending to establish in
the United States Industries by which in
Europe men and women earn q living is de-
nGunced as the persecution of the class Of
citizens who are engaged in importing the
products of European industries. The i'm
porter as an individual is lost sight of in
general legislation. If measures deemed
essential to the prosperity of the country
are prejudicial to certain pursuits those en-
gagged in such pursuits must take the
chances. The steam engine was not sup
pressed because it might throw horses and
their owners out Of business. When rail
road coaches supplanted the horse-stage of
forty years ago the owners of this kind OF
property accepted the situation. Most of
them found in a few years that they were
gamers by the change. The business of i'm
porters is to bring into the country in which
they do business commodities which that
country does not produce either at all or in
sufficient quantity to supply the demand.
Their business is. always has been, and
always will be, useful and honorable. But
they should not expect to influence legisla-
ton to the injury of the general good of the
country. In the course of our industrial
DEVELOPMENT we produce many kinds Of
goods which a quarter Of a century ago we
imported. The work of production en-
plo VS. hundreds of thousands of people who
would have remained in Europe had we not
entered upon the work Of converting our
own raw material into finished goods. In
porters have been thrown out of business
by these changes, but the development Of
the country could not be stayed on their ac-
count. The insinuation that the protective
policy the country has adopted is devised to
injure importers as a class or to reflect upon
the character of their business is supremacy

LEGAL TENDER CERTIFICATES

An Eastern gold paper regards the SEN
ate amendment to the House Silver Bill.
making gold and silver certificates legal
tender for the payment Of all debts, public
and private, as a legislative recognition Of
the right of the United States TO issue
paper money. In the common acceptation
01 the term, the issue Of paper money i'm
plies an exercise Of the credit of the Gov
eminent. Legal tenders issued during the
war were promise of the Government to
pay at some future time the sum designated
in the note. Legal tender certificates,
whether. OF gold or silver, are simply an
acknowledgment of the Government that it
holds designated amount OF gold or sill
yer, as the case may be, which the holder
Of the certificate can have on presentation
of the certificate. There is no element of
credit in such an issue. Strictly speaking
it cannot be considered as an Issue Of
money 1t is an acknowledgement in con-
yenient form that the Government holds a
certain specified amount of money which
the holder Of the certificate can have when
he prefers it to the certificate. The Gov
eminent does not profit by such an issue {;
it holds the bullion and issues the certificate
for the accommodation Of the people.

PROFIT AND LOSS.
a Strange Game Is Played With Wives
and HuShlnas.

Strange Game Is Played With Wives
and Husbands.
Charles Lufsky, all emplOye of the Ba-
varia Brewery, was at the old City Hall
yesterday inquiring what would be his pun
ishment if he killed the man who took
away his wife. The information given
caused him to decide to remain peaceful.
Quite recently Ernest Goetz, who kept a
saloon on Pacific street, near Kearny, was
surprised one morning to find his place
closed ard wife missing She had fled with
a sailor. He soon after moved 10 Lufsky's
home at 14l4 Stockton street, there to live a
bachelors life. But he soon became enam-
ored OF his friends wife, and to even up
matters ran away with her and began house
keeping at - Minna street. Now Lufsky
wants to kill Goetz.
The cause of all the trouble walked boldly
into the old City Hall corridor, looking for
warrant for the clothing she left behind
when leaving home. She met her husband
and flally refused to have anything more to
do with him.
