FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

There is proposition in the air to place
a lady upon the Republican municipal
ticket for Superintendent of Schools. We
have no doubt there are ladies in the city
competent in every way to fill this position.
The test of woman's capacity to fill respOn-
sible offices has to be tried sooner or later,
and there is no branch of service in which
the trial can be made with greater certainty
of success than in the conduct OF our
schools. Nearly all the teachers are ladies,
and in placing man ut the head Of the de-
paTtment doubt of the ability of any
woman to perform its duties is implied.
There are 800 lady teachers, more or less, in
the service Of the department. Might not
these teachers in an informal way declare
themselves on the proposition to elect
lady Superintendent? If the teachers COM
NIT themselves to female superintendent
they will be in measure bound to render
all the assistance in their power to make
the administration success. When ladies
have been named as candidates for School
Directors they have not had the general
support Of the teachers. There is very
general impression in this community that
the average woman prefers male boss
to female. We do not know that the i'm
preston is correct, but have often heard
that preference expressed. If the school
teachers, 500 strong, would take vote on
the proposition to elect lady Superinten-
dent they will throw some light upon the
question.

ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS a YEAR.

The New York san thinks the rise in
silver will put about 500, 000 GOO year into
the pockets of American producers of cot
ton and wheat. Large as the estimate is it
is not in the least unreasonable. A rise of
two cents pound in cotton is easily figured
out as the result of silver legislation, and
corresponding rise In wheat is inevitable.
The advocates of silver have maintained all
along that the low prices of American prod
uce in foreign markets was caused in part
by the demo netizatiou and consequent de-
preston of silver. The gold men. however,
were firm in the belief that the price Of
products was regulated by the law of de-
mand and supply, and treated with derision
the proposition that legislation might in
duence the law. The so-called silver luna
tics are now having their innings. The
theories of the gold men are now exploded
Nothing has happened as they predicted,
and almost everything has happened that
they predicted would not happen. In specu-
iatiDg upon the probable result of the Con-
gressORal elections the effect of the rise in
silver should not be overlooked. The Silver
Act is Republican measure. If the Demo-
Gratis had succeeded in electlng their Presi-
dent in 1888 and Congress of the same
political color, silver would have been a
drug at 10 cents on the 81. Now it is worth
80 cents, with further rise of 10 cents in
evitable. The S1OO,0O0OOO year thus dis
tributed among producers of cotton, wheat
and oil is one of the results of Republican
success in 1885

enjoy the chief benefits of protection.
Immigrants who come without contracts
very soon demand American rates Of conf
pensation. The prohibition of Chinese
immigration is an important part of the
scheme for the protection of American
laborers. Chinese mostly come under con-
tract, but the fact cannot often be substan-
tiated in an American court The contracts
with coolies are enforced by Chinese
tribunals. The coolies, if so instructed,
will testify that they are free, but the
manner in which they are handled shows
that they are not. 1t is still question
whether stock actors should not be in
cluded among the prohibited classes. AS
the business is now conducted New York
Spectator in amusements may contract
for English actors at about one-half the
rates ruling in this county.

ALIEN LABOR.

A bill has been reported to the House
amendatory of the present alien contract
labor law. The new bill prohibits the
coming of artisans, mechanics and laborers
under contract, but exempts from its pro-
visions professional actors. artists, lee
turers, clergymen. singers and college pro-
fessors. Under the present bill as inter-
preted it is q question if Nine. Patti
could be brought to tie country to sing un-
DER contract. The amendment simply limits
me purport of the act to the classes of
iapoters ior the protection of whom il was
unsigned. AS long as we protect the home
Wotkihgmen by duties on foreign products

placed upon the admission of laborers.
W uncut such restriction American manu-
LECTURERS might import foreign laborers
under contract at European rates and thus

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The terrible practices OF the middle ages are
still followed by the Turks in the treatment OF
those accused or suspected of criminal offenses,
particularly those OF political character. 1t Is
reported that several OF the Armenians arrested
during The recent demonstration at CONSTANT
nOple had their limbs crushed in a brutal man.

death. Others were subjected TO the ant tor
ture. Tied hand and foot aud bound to pillars
ants are placed upon The poor wretches, who are
driven by their fortunes to tell any story de-
manded by their prosecutors. IL is a sorry COM
ment on The times that such cruel practices
should be tolerated in one OF the great cities Of
Europe.
The Belgian wOrkmen have announced their
determination TO strike on September LIST II uni
verSal suffrage Is not conceded. Universal suf-
frage practically prevails in the adjoining do
mains OF France and Germany, where the men OF
all classes are Liable TO military service, but the
Belgians complain that the burdens of military
service in their country are borne by the masses,
and the workmen seem as far removed from pO-
litical privileges as Russian peasants
II is now evident that land disputes were not
the prime cause OF The recent trouble on the
Samoan Islands, for Melbourne advces show
that the COnsuls have issued a proclamation
warning the natives against entering into in
trigues 10 displace Maietoa and replace Mataafa
on the throne.
1t is officially announced at the capital that In
few days army board will be appointed and
commissioned TO visit this Coast and select a sile
for an ordnance foundry. This means ultimately
the location of an expensive plant where ii will
be needed for the production OF heavy guns for
coast defense.
Nandeyer's bill forming the SequOia National
Park in Tulare County has been passed by the
House and is likely 10 be rushed through the
Senate. This measure reserves 4 handsome
grove OF mammoth trees for the benefit and en-
jOyment of the people.

WHITE AS A SENATORIAL CANDI-
DATE.

Mr.. White continues to express an inten-
tion to stump the State as a Democratic
candidate for the Senate. Mr.. Whites
first speech will be looked for with con-
siderable interest. He will comprehend,
doubtless, that unless he shows that he has
a chance 10 become the caucus nominee, in
the event of the election of Democratic
Legislature, he viii not be considered in
the race. If Democratic aspirants for seats
IN the Legislature are pledged at all they
VIII be pledged to vote for the caucus
nominee Now, without a very marked
expression of The will of the people. the
caucus nominee will not be Stephen NJ
White. No one realizes the fact more
clearly than Mr. White himself. MIR. White
may stump the State in the Interest of the
Buckley slate ticket but on the Buckley
slate his name is not written for Senator.

MORROW FOR the FOURTH DIS
TRICT.

The talk now in Republican circles is
that w. w. Morrow Will accept d nomina-
ton for the Fourth District. The details
of the action of the Republican Convention
have convinced him that his nomination as
ongressman-at-large was made in good
faith, but on a M apprehension as to the
facts. twas reported some time since that
the basis Of representation would be $780,
600. This would give California seven Con-
gressmen under the rule that a fraction of
more than one-half is entitled to q member.
But Mr. Morrow thinks the basis will be
$4,000, which will give us the number of
Representatives we 81 now have. AS the
seventh Congressman is at best in doubt
MI Morrow will probably stand for the
Fourth &c District. There are other capable
hepuollcans in the district, but there are
good reasons why, until the Chinase oues-
lion Is settled. California should keen its
experienced members at their most

THE ELECTION BILL rosr,o

A Washington dispatch says that conn
mitiee OF Republican Senators have decided
to let the Election Bill 60 over until the De-
cember session Of Congress. This action
on the part of the Senate relieves the hin
OF one of the objections urged against il,
Democrats have said that by the machinery
OF this bill the Republicans expected to
elect the next House. The Republicans
voluntarily deprive themselves of whatever
advantage there may be in the proposed
law The next House will be elected under
the present law. The people will thus
have all opportunity to declare for or
against the bill before it becomes law. A

An Omcer,s Record.

Thomas Barsford, at one time we'll

arrested by Officer Cummings, on BRENNAN
place, and charged with vagrancy. Bars
ford is now confirmed morphine fiend, and
is total wreck. He was sentenced by
Judge JOachimsen to ninety days in the
County jail. Yesterday the same officer
arrested Thomas Courts, another morphine
hend, on a charge of vagrancy. Since last
November he has made the best record in
the department for the arrest and c0nvc-
ton Of Migrants, of whom eighty-two can
lay their conviction at his door.

PROPER FOOD FOR BABY.

''what to give the baby ?'' is a problem which
many mothers have 10 solve when i. is impos-
sible to follow natures method. Then 1t is that
food is needed, not medicine, and the prepara-
ton that combines the natural elements brings
the best results. Messrs. Him. g. Plagemann OF

the bill completely. II is appropriately named
Normal Nutriment. 1t Is maze from choice

BAD FINANCIERlNG.
L. ID. Sweeney Arrested Yesterday on
serious Charge.

E. ID. sweeney Arrested Yesterday a
serious Charge.
Edward Duval Sweeney was arrested on
Kearny street by Officer Cummings yester-
day on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. 1t appears that Sweeney
went to the Democratic Convention at San
Jose and there fell in with a drummer who
represents large Eastern house, to whom,
1t is claimed, he gave an order and made
certain statements upon which he obtained
500. The drummer now claims that Swee-
ney'S representations were untrue, and for
that reason lie procured warrant for his
arrest, with the result above stated. Swee-
ney claims that his arrest is mistake and
that he can explain away the charge. He
returned to San Jose yesterday afternoon
in charge of Garden City constable.
