CAUSES OF DECAY.

TIE CALL copied an article from the
Providence journal on THE Decadence on
Gloucester" rather TO present the view OF
an intelligent New England Journal as to
the causes of decay than 10 indorse those
views. Tile principal causes Of decay are
said to be, first. trade restriction upon the
fishing industry by the Governments of
Canada and the United States, and, sec
ondly, local monopoly which is doing
It's best to drive men OF small capital out of
the business. The journal puts trade re-
striction first among the causes. but it is
lust possible that local monopoly of the
business has more to do with the admitted
result than the trade restriction complained
of. In theory syndicate controlling vast
capital and doing wholesale business in
the most economical fashion seems to work
well, but in practice it kills the competition
which is the life Of business. The ener-
getic men of small capital who give per-
sonal attention to their business, and are
often found with their coats off attending
to the details of the industry in which they
are engaged, are the embodiment of prog
ress. 1t is these small dealers who lead in
inventions. The capitalist, who perhaps
has no other knowledge of the business he
has put his money into than that it pays
certain per cent of profit, is not in posi-
ton to suggest the improved methods
which the wide-awake dealer who knows
every detail of his business is constantly
putting into practice. The small dealer is
needed in every business to inspire life
into it. What would become of agriculture
without small farms? What would become
of any business which concentrates itself

THE STORY OF TIE CENSUS.

In instituting comparisons between cities
as TO numerical growth during the past dec
ade care must be taken not to overlook
annexation of suburban villages. Chicago.
for instance, figures in the census as con-
talning population Of over a million, an
increase of about 100 per cent since 1880.
But during the decade several flourishn e
and populous suburbs situated on the
prairie outside of Cook County have been
annexed; the Chicago of 1890 covers far
more ground than the Chicago of 1880; its
growth, while substantial, is apparent as
well as real. If during the past ten years
San Francisco had annexed Oakland and
Alameda and Sausalito and Tiburon we
might have shown up as gorgeously as the
city bv the lake. The Chicagoans have
acted like those railroad managers who,
when they want to sell bonds, publish
comparative statements of earnings with
out mentioning their increase of mileage.
This, however, is trifie.
The essential lesson of the census is the
wonderful growth of the country as a
whole during the decade. There is nothing
like it either in our history or in any other
There never was, anywhere, such an
amazing springtide of population. And
while the growth is not absolutely uniform.
it is SO nearly uniform that no part Of the
country has escaped. The figures nowhere
indicate that the people of one State have
been decanted into another State. A line
may be drawn on any meridian through
the country without striking section
which is declining in population, as parts
of Great Britain. France, Germany and
Spain are doing.
We are in the habit of reckoning deem
hal increases by percentages. Perhaps
the real growth of the country is more
clearly revealed by comparison of actual
numbers. This would figure as follows for
the past half-century:

PAVEAIER rs.

During the last twenty years San Fran
cisco has made many costly experiments
with different kinds of pavement 1t is not
necessary to enumerate the varieties of
pavement we have tried, nor to count up
the cost of trial. The statement may be
made, however, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the kind which has
steadily gained in public estimation is
basalt blocks laid upon sand. When pave
ment of this kind has been well laid, it has
been serviceable. While all other kinds
have fallen into disrepute, basalt blocks
have grown in favor. Some months ago a
determined effort was made to substitute
bituminous rock for basalt blocks. The
promoters of this movement got an order
passed through the Board of Supervisors
requiring basalt blocks to be laid upon con-
crete. The apparent object of this order
was TO so increase the cost of basalt blocks
that the bitumnous pavement would be
generally laid. The order, however, made
a distinction between property-holders
For many years streets paved with basalt
blocks had been accepted. The new order
required property on unaccepted
streets to incur about 6ne-third greater eX-
pense than property-holders had incurred
in the past. No public purpose was served
by this additional expense. Basalt blocks
on sand had stood the test of twenty odd
years. Even admitting that bed of con-
crete ADDS to the value of basalt-block
pavement making it a condition of the ac-
ceptance of streets paved with baSalt was
hardship upon prOperty-hOlders. The
Board OF Supervisors on Monday night ac-
cepted block On Tenth street paved with
basalt blocks upon sand. The contract for
this pavement mad been made before the
concrete order was passed, and the Street
Committee and the board held that the city
was bound to accept it. The poultce organs
are much incensed at this action on the
part Of the board. The most indscreet of
these organs wants to know why the basalt
block pavement is treated with such con-
sideratiOn. The poultice organ does not
stop TO consider that any other action than
that taken by the board would have been
an outrage. The pavement laid on the
Ienth-street block conforms TO all the con-
ditions required for accepted pavements
during the last twenty years, and the con-
tractor had conformed to all the require
ments of the order in force when the con-
tract was made. If the block had not been
accepted the property holders, having done
all that other property-holders have been
required TO do. would still have had the
block on their hands.

BLAINE,s TABLE VIEWS.


Senator Hale of Maine indorses Mr..
Blaine's position on the proposition to Gre
ate markets in South America for our man.
ufactured products in return for free sugar.
Mr.. Hale says that the countries of Central
and South America furnish products which
we do not supply and which We need. We
manufacture things which they need and
cannot produce. a proposition to exchange
products with these countries does not in
the least conflict with our general policy Of
a protective tariff. Mr.. Hale also declares
that the reciprocity with Central and South
America advocated by Mr.. Blaine does not
involve reciprocity with Europe. This is
substantially the point made by The CALL
a few days ago. There is no discrimination
against European countries in the admis
sion free by the United States of articles
which we need from countries which pro-
duce a surplus of tnem while we impose
duties on articles which we might produce
if the imported article were not sold cheaper
in our market. There was an evident pur-
pose on the part of the Democrats TO make
it appear that Blaine had changed his views
on the tariff question. There is nothing,
however, in the view ne has expressed over
his own signature which warrants the Dem
ocratic hope that there is serious differ

TIE ELEoTIoN OF SENATOR'S.

Senator John Fl. Mitchell is the author of
an article on the election of Senators that
will attract widespread attention. He de-
clares that no system can be properly
termed free or republican which deprives
the individual voter of his right to cast his
vote directly for the man of his choice,
whether it be State official, member of the
Ma tional House of Representatives, United
States Senator, or President. lie quotes
Thomas Il. Benton's opinion on the election
of President by popular vote, and adds:
THE same is true as TO the election OF Sem
ators. In the case Of the President the
bribery of patronage may reach the elector
in every State, while it cannot reach the
mass of voters. So in the case of a Senator,
the corruptions of wealthy, INSCRIPTIONS
aspirant for Senatorial honors may, and
sometimes do, reach and tend TO control
majority of small body in a Legislature,
while such thing would be absolutely i'm
posi- bic were the division left to the great
mass Of the voters" He points out the
fact that the present system occupies too
much OF Legislatures time; that in cho0s-
ing member Of the Legislature all else is
overlooked but his position on the Senator
ship; that the belief in the public mind is
rapidly gaining that proper Difference is
not given by the Senate to the demands
and interests of the people, and that this is
largely due to the fact that Senators do not
owe their positions to the people, who are
permanent but to the Legislatures, which
are transient He therefore argues that
any movement that looks TO the right of the
people to be heard directly in the election
of Senators cannot but result benefically
to all concerned 1t will tend to elevate the
character, advance the dignity, increase the
usefulness, extend the influence and Justly
magnify the power of the Senate, and at
the same time promote the welfare of all

CHINESE IN MEXICO.

Lyman l. Mowry apparently recognizes
the fact that his Chinese practice in San
Francisco is on the decline. The Exclusion
Act is being put in good working order and
the recent decision Of Judge Sawyer re-
manding Chinese who were caught Oh the
Mexican line making their way into the
United States shuts oUt what might have
been a profitable field Of operations. In
view of this departing practice Mr.. Mowry
has concluded to go to China and arrange
Cor the employment Of Chinese in Mexico.
He thinks that be can pilot about 5000 into
the neighborlng republic and anticipates no
trouble about landing them. In this pos
sibly the American attorney for the Chi
nese may be disappointed. The little expe-
rience the Mexicans have had with that class
Of labOrers has not impressed them favor
ably The first lot will probably be landed
without much trouble, but unless there is
row before the 5000 are landed we are much
mistaken.
