THE WASTE OF MONEY.

The Grand Jury declares that the rev.
enues of the city are sufficient for its needs,
and proceeds TO show that nearly every de-
partment is in lamentable condition. The
inference is that there is criminal waste in
the use of the clty's money. Public build
ings are allowed to fall into decay; the
Morgue is in a horrible condition of neglect
the County Jail is unfit for the purpose to
which it is devoted the Receiving Hos
pital is in a better condition, but is not
what it should be; the City and County
Hospital has thirty patients to one nurse /;
the House Of Correction is not fully utilized,
but is well kept; the Industrial School has
one salaried official for five inmates, which
makes it somewhat expensive boarding
house Tor young people; the Fire Depart
ment is deficient in many respects, and so
on through the list of public institutions.
In view of the fact that appropriations are
pronounced sufficient, there must be leak
age somewhere.

TOO MUCH MONEY.

A local contemporary takes exception to the
statement of an interior journal that there
can never be too ,.iuch money, and cites as
an instance of tco much money the Confed-
crate issue OF paper currency. Writers on
finance should distinguish between money
and paper currency. The interior journal
which city contemporary corrects did dis
tinguish between the two. and it doubtless
referred to real money when 1t said that
there can never be too much money. OF
paper currency there may. easily be too
much. Whenever currency falls in market
value below the coin it represents there is
too much of it. The difficulty with the gold
standard is that it does not furnish enough
money to maintain public confidence in its pa
per currency. The remedy lies in making more
real money. As the supply of gold is linz
tied there is an absolute necessity to convert
silver bullion into money!

IN A CORNER.

Senator EuStis of Louisiana threw Sena-
tor Dolph of Oregon off his line of argument
by surprising case. Suppose Chinese lmml-
grafton had not been prohibited; suppose
there were a million and half of Chinese
in Oregon who had the right of suffrage and
who had at some future time established in
Oregon Chinese State government; then
suppose that the white people of Oregon
bad overthrow that Chinese government
and re-established white political suprem-
aey, would Senator Dolph in such case ad-
vocate the enactment of a law by Congress
the intent and the effect of which would be
to encourage, stimulate and sustain those
Cinnamon in their efforts to recover their
political power? Mr.. Dolph might have
answered with brief mo" but he did not.
He wanted apparently to give the series of
suppositions with the final conundrum more
thought than he could with the interroga-
tive face of Mr.. Eustis turned toward him.
Putting supp0sititious cases which have
points of resemblance but are essentially
unlike is favorite mode of argument among
advocates of cause which will not stand
on its merits. No degree of success on the
part of the Chinese in establishing local
government would affect the fact that they
are an alien race. Now, when an alien race
lakes advantage oil us local numerical ma
jority and establishes government after
the fashion of its own people it is In effect
guilty of instruction, and as such calls for
interference by the National Government,
whose authority is disregarded. Foreign
born voters might combine and carry cleo
tons, but their government would have to
be on the American plan. But Mr. Eustis
supp oses his million and half of Chinese
in Oregon to set up Chinese government.
The political supremacy of the colored
people does not necessarily follow the as
sertion OF their right to vote for members
of Congress. The Federal Election Bill goes
no further than that. The Federal Election
Bill does not require colored voters to vote
the Republican ticket. 1t only proposes to
give them a chance to vote as they please.
The whites in the Southern States have all
the land. nearly all the capital, and AL the
industrial enterprises which give people
employment in their hands. They are su-
perior in intellect, in education and in
political management They can exercise
I'll the legitimate influence of their superi-
oritv in preserving their own ascendency.
They are simply denied any right in the
way of driving colored voters from the
Dolls

BURIED ALIVE.

Two thoughts naturally occur to the ordi-
nary mind in connection with death. One
is the future of the spirit, the other the con-
dition of the body. When the question of
cremation was under discussion the other
day, prominent man, not given to morbid
apprehension, said he had not much choice
between burial and cremation; the only
thing that gave him concern was the posi-
bility of being buried or burned while in
trance. Probably a great many people ex-
perience the same dread. They would like
to lie assured that they will not be pro
nounced dead until consciousness has gone
never to return through the medium of the
body. A nom professional view Of the pre-
mature burial problem is that consciousness
could not long remain after the body is in
closed in modern collins. Air is necessary
to life, and the supply in coffin would soon
be exhausted. The sensational reports
given from time to time of the horrible suf-
ferings of persons buried alive are, there is
reason to believe, oftentimes imaginary.

THE PRINTING STEAL.

The Grand Jury regards the action of the
Board of Supervisors in awarding the print
ing contract to the Report as removing
whatever doubts may have existed as to the
character of the Solid Nine The jury can
find no justification for such action and is
consequently constrained to regard it in the
nature of a steal The jury refers to the
letting of this contract, to the purchase of
Shag Rock, to the granting of certain street
railroad franchises, and asks: What will
stop this filthy tide of local legislation ?"
The answer is, Time. The period for
which the Solid Nine were elected has
nearly expired. Fortunately, some of their
acts will come mp for review. The printing
contract Is clearly Illegal. The Solid Nine
doubtless fulfilled their contract 10 award
the printing to the Report. but they did it
after the fashion of men who wash their
hands of bad lob.

The Grand Jury finds many deficiencies
in the details of the city government, but
declares that the dollar limit yields revenue
enough 20 provide for all the wants of the
city. The unnecessary employment of
off cials as reward for political service is a
principal cause of the chronic pecuniary
distress in which heads of departments find
themselves. The people of the city are now
taxed 500 SIS per capita for municipal and
State purposes. The Grand Jury thik this
rate excessive. In spite of this liberality
the report says that at every public institu-
ton they visited the need of more money
was pointed out. Officials seem to have be-
come impressed with the idea that all their
demands for money should be complied with.
The dollar limit has never been in much
danger except from disregard of pledges, but
the report will possibly quiet two or three
papers which at periods remote from cleo
tons declaim against it,
