SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

The National Council of Education began
its four days session at St. Paul on Friday.
DR.. White of OHIO, Chairman of the Com
mittee on City Schools, read report in
which the groun WAS taken that Board
Of Education is a village organization of not
much benefit in rural districts and failure
in cities. The report states what everybody
knows who has paid much attention to
school affairs. A corps Of professional
teachers are subject to number Of officials
who have no special fitness for the duties
deyOlYing upon them. In our city the
Board Of Education is the political starting
ground, An election brings an aspiring
man into public view, and If he does not
make complete fool Of him self he figures
in the next convention Of his party for
paying Office. There are honorable eXcep-
tons to this rule. but the rule works never
theless. a Board of Education could hardly
be otherwise than failure when a majority
OF its members have only the knowledge of
school affairs they acquired in boyhood.
School affairs do not necessarily need
school-teacher as director, but the Office
should be filled by men Of education who
have studied the workings of the public
school system. Teachers are apt to run TO
characterization il unrestrained, but still the
profession should be represented in the con-
troll. 1t is only question OF little time
when Boards of Education will give place
TO board of three or four Commissioners,
at the head of which will be the Superintend-
ent, who will be paid fair salary for their
service and req uired to devote their time to
the duties of the Office. We should then
select men for School Commissioners who
had some especial fitness for the work be-

The Ruling Senate established by Peter 1
in I'LL is one of the great colleges or boards
of government that administer the affairs
of Russia. The Senate's functions are
partly of deliberative and partly of an
executive character. To be valid a law
must be promulgated by it. 1t is also the
high court of justice for the empire. Ac-
cording to a recent decision of this tribunal
the wives of such exiles to Siberia as have
served their time but have not been re-
stored to their civil rights, may travel or
live wherever they please without the con-
sent of their husbands, and may even get
married. The experience OF political
offenders in Russia is indeed bitter one.
The Victoria Chinese Exclusion Act,
which was first enforced in the latter part
of 1883, has had the effect of checking the
Monaghan invasion, the arrivals last year
numbering only IT'S, fully nine-tenths of
this number returning to the colony, conse-
quently the law did not apply to them. The
arrivals for the first quarter of the present
year were only thirty-six males and one
female. 1t is now announced that the At
torney-General may visit England to con-
duct the appeal before the Privy Council,
the Supreme Courts recent decision on the
Chinese question having been against the
Government.
The President and Secretary Blaine are
represented as devoting considerable atten-
ton to the appointment of Minister
Palmer's successor. Owing to the impor-
tant matters to receive attention at Madrid
relative to Cuban affairs, the State Depart
ment regards the appointment as one Of ex-
ceptional Importance.

PROOF OF POPULARITY.

The popularity of a newspa per is shown
by its advertising columns, as ell as by its
circulation. 1t is noticeable fact that in
every city the most popular newspaper pub
fishes the most small advertisements, or, as
they are commonly called, "want ads"
They are the advertisements of the people
and they only come to the paper which is
most widely known and most popular.
When a paper becomes the medium for
the advertisements of the people it is con-
elusive proof that it is the most popular
newspaper.
The CALL has always been the recognized
medium for want ads. aud is proud of it as
evidence of its popularity.
Other papers may, at a great expense, get
some of this advertising for short time,
but they cannot keep it. Why? Because
the advertisements will not bring the same
results as when published in the more pop
ular medium. The people look for such
advertisements in the better known and
more popular medium. They all know that
they will find the most want ads. in THE
CALL.
When the people bring their advertise
ments TO a paper and at the same time look
in that paper for advertisements no other
paper can bring the same results That is
why there can only be one want medium in
a city. That is why HE CALL is the only
want medium in San Francisco.
To gain this advertising from another
paper it is necessary to first gain its popu-
larity. Notwithstanding the most persist
ent efforts made by other papers THE CALL
retains the want ads. showing beyond
doubt that The CALL is the most popular
paper on the Coast
During the past week THE CALL pub
lished 1892 want ads, most remarkable
showing for this time of year. Among
these were 753 "help wanted" advertise
mentS. No other city paper published one
half so many.
1t is only necessary to look at the columns
of THE CALL to see that it is the only want
medium.

THE SILVER CoNFERENcE.

There have been three meetings Of the Sill.
yer Conference Committee without result.
The differences between the Senate con-
ferrees and those of the House are reduced to
two in number-whether 4,5O0, eco ounces of
silver shall be purchased each month, or
100000 worth of silver, and whether the
bullion redemption clause shall be retained
in the bill. The latter provision is the only
one to which much Importance should be
attached. On this point the House confer
rees will be expected to give way. A Silver
Bill with the bullion redemption clause in
it would be an unknown quantity it may
be Of some value and it may not. A bill
requiring the purchase of given amount
Of silver and the issue of legal tender notes
in payment of the same would be meas
ure the effec. OF which can be calculated.

a WARNING.

1t is now pretty well understood that
TIE CALL is about the only morning news
paper published in San Francisco in the
English language upon which our citizens
can depend for the advocacy Of an honest
election. Without it, the people would lean
upon unreliable supports, for our papers at
this time are nearly all owned by corpora
tons, sehemers, or by mercenaries. This,
we apprehend. is the general condition, and
it explains why people are locking to the
support of THE CALL more than usual.
The public realize the danger which threat
ems while the Buckley regime has control
Of the ballots, and can count out or in
candidates for Offices to suit themselves.
Let US not be misunderstood: The CALL
says emphatically that our citizens cannot
afford to permit the judiciary TO go COM
pletely into the hands of such an organiza-
ton as that which Buckley and his lambs
have been struggling for insidiously for
some time past. THE CALL has no faith
in juries which can be manipulated by
such agencies as now control US.

FICTION AND FACTS.

The dunderhead who got the appointment
Of orator on the Fourth does not seem capa-
BILE of eomprehending the difference be-
tween facts and fiction. As one fact he
pronounced incontestable, he recited the
exploded report that in ten States of the
Union the farm mortgages exceed $500 co.,
COO. There is no basis whatever for such
an assertion. There is no record which
shows the amount Of the mortgage on the
farms in any State Of the Union. All the
mortgages that have been recorded within
a convenient term of years are computed in
the estimate to which Mr.. Gator refers and
no credits given. Many Of these mortgages
have been paid in full and no record made
Of the fact The surrendered mortgage is
evidence of the fact that it has been paid.
Other mortgages have been partially paid.
credit being given in the mortgages but not
in the record Again, Mr.. Gator said that
In Illinois last year the farmers lost So, $751;
S23 on their corn crop. One would suppose
from the exactness with which this loss is
stated that the person stating it knew some
thing about it. But it is manifestly impos-
sibe to figure closely on such losses or
profits. There are so many elements of
cost which must be guessed at that only
approximate gain or loss can be shown.
Again, we are told that last year in Ne
braska it cost bushel and half Of corn to
get one bushel to market After several
other statements Of the same wild and i'm
probable character, the speaker quoted from
Thomas G. Shearman to show that seventy
persons have 81, roo. 100000, and that $1,000
persons have half the wealth of the United
States. Shearman'5 estimates of the wealth
Of the rich men of the United States are
entitled to about the same consideration as

PEELED to admit that in the midst of IN
bounded natural and national wealth the

ApIA Samoa. June IT. The United
States steamer Mohican, with Consul-Gen-
eral Sewall aboard, visited Page Pago sew
eral weeks ago and took formal possession
of two pieces of land there. which were
ceded to the United States by the Samoan
Government.
King Malietoa received his first salute
May 22d. He visited the United States
steamer Mohican i'll his new whale-boat,
recently presented to Chief Seumann Tafa
by the American Government.
THE KING
Remained on board of the man. of-war half
an hour, and as he left the Samoan flag
was hoisted at the main and royal salute
of twenty-one guns was fired in his honor.
Malietoa also visited the German man-of-
war Alexandrine few days later and was
given a similar salute.
In the latter part of May Captain Shep-
ard of the MOhican and Consul General
Sewall paid visit to King Malietoa and on
behalf of the United States Government
formally presented him with the wrecks of
the Trenton and Vandalia, which have been
lying i'll Apia harbOr ever since the dis
astrouS hurricane in March, 1883.
CAPTAIN SHEPARD
Read letter in which he suggested that the
King authorize the United States Consul
General to appoint trustee to negotiate
for the sale of the property and superin-
tend the application of the proceeds to pay
ment of the taxes of the natives. MIR.
Sewall also made an address III which he
reviewed the heroic conduct of the Samoans
during the hurricane, and expressed the
gratitude of the American people and their
wish for lasting peace and prosperity to the
new Government of Samoa. Malietoa ex-
pressed the deepest gratitude for the gift.
COnsul-General Sewall has appointed ex-
Vice-Consul Blackjack trustee to negotiate
for the sale of the wrecks and the disposi-
ton of the funds.
The strained relations which existed be-
tween the American and German repre-
sentatiyes during the troublesome times
preceding the return of the present King
and the establishment of the new Govern
ment, are rapidly passing away, aud a more
cordial feeling Is shown among the repre-
Sentatives of the two Governments who are
now stationed here.

Of Tonquin. Although only twenty years old
he commands a band of 400 followers, whose
operations have been so extensive that the
riches which Lun-Ky has amassed in
brief criminal career of two years are said
to exceed the bounds Of credulity. A
dandy in his tastes he is pictured as
usually arrayed in gorgeous silks, his
bosom covered with network of gold, and
among his weapons sporting jeweled
scimiters and ivory-hilted poniards. The
character Of his operations may be judged
by the fact that three Frenchmen, who
were recently his prisoners. had to pay a
ransom of 100 pieces OF silk, twelve watches
and $50, 900 in coin. His authority is as alb
