FEDLRAL ALmsGIvING.

The case of Oklahoma, which is now be-
fore Congress, is leading humane men to
consider whether the rule which fOrblds the
Federal Government from expanding the
money of the nation on objects of benevo-
lence might not occasionally be relaxed. In
the newly opened Territory of OklahomR
large proportion of the settlers who thought
lessly rushed there are are absolutely starry
ing. They appeal to Congress for food
The President recommends that an unex-
pended balance of $4,000, being part of the
money voted some time ago for the relief of
the sufferers by the Mississippi floods, be
placed at his disposition for the use of Ok
lahUma. On this a controversy has arisen
strict construction on one side, and human
ity ON the other.
The law and practice of Congress has
been that no portion of the moneys col
lected by taxation for the support OF the
Government shall be diverted to charitable
purposes; that it is no part of the duty of
the Federal Government to feed the hungry
or clotbe the naked. Thus applications
for aid from Dakota and from parts of the
South during the yellow fever epidemic Of a
few years ago were sternly refused. The
applicants were met with the reply that the
money placed at the disposal of the MEN,
beTs of Congress was not theirs TO give
away; that The appeals Of sufferers should
be addressed to individual citizens who were
free to dispose Of their means as they
pleased.
People are asking each other whether this
extreme strictness of construction may not
SAVIOR Of inhumanity. Surely the first duty
of civilized people is TO rescue the desti-
tute from starvation. That duty is recog-
nized by all municipal bodies. Every city
ana county in the United States acknowl-
edges that it is bound to feed the hungry
who are found within its limits.
The objection to the adoption Of
a policy of general relief is that
it would be abused. Tales of i'm
aginary want would be carried to Con-
gress, duly vouched for by parties who seek
to be national almoners; and if one set of
sufferers are to be relieved how can another
set be denied? States and counties would
only be too glad to unload their paupers on
the General Government 1t will deyOlve
on the House of Representatives to decide
where in this conflict of opinion the pre-
ponderance of reason is to be found.

THE ELEor1oN comm1ssIoNEns.

1t is an old saying that where there Is
much smoke there is some fire. Admitting
that some unfit men may, without design
on the pa TT of the Commissioners, have got
themselves appointed to serve on the Pre-
cinct Registration boards, large crop Of
that kind of men seem TO have come before
the board. The requirement that registra-
tion officers shall be Taxpayers is putting
the would-be officers to considerable trou-
Bile, but as long as the temporary possession
of watch makes a man taxpayer, per
sons who are really wanted on the Precinct
Registration boards may be qualified with
out much expense. Precinct Registration
boards are the avenues through which newly
made citizens and transient voters must
pass to secure the right to vote. 1t is in
these boards that doubtful questions Of citi-
zenship and of residence will be determined
The charge is made that the Election Com
missioners, four of whom are Democrats,
are willing TO smooth the way to the polls
where the newly made citizen or citizen of
doubtful residence are known to be Demo-
Gratis or willing to vote the Democratic
tieknt

mined with profit with silver at 20 cents on
the dollar, but which may be raised to
paying basis by an increase of 40 per cent
in the price of silver. Taking broad view
of the silver problem, there is small prob
ability that with the general reconciliation
of silver there will ever be a surplus of
that metal. The depreciation which set in
about 1878 was largely the result of hostile
legislation. There was widespread fear
that the white metal would be reduced to
the class of base metals by the disuse of it
as money. That fear would perhaps have
been realized if the decentralization OF sill
yer had become general. But in 1878 the
United States declared its policy to con-
tinue the use of silver as money, and that
declaration arrested the apprehended de-
probation. 1t is true silver fell in price
after the act of 1873 was passed, but the
rise which has resulted from the act just
passed by Congress indicates that under
the present rate of production the surplus
of silver on hand in 1878 has been consumed.

News, Sacramento

There has been held at San Jose this
week the Democratic Convention of this
State 1t convened on Tuesday afternoon.
Ordinarily in the State Convention of a
party the questions of newspaper of q
partisan character or the fitness or unfit
ness of man to be recommended for United
States Senator are not considered. We es-
TEEN that the people Of this State generally
have little concern with regard to the
Examiner of San Francisco. 1t is known to
be the playthiDg that an indulgent father
of great means gave to his boy. Its infu-
ence has amounted to nothing outside the
Democratic party, and very little within it.
With the immense capital that is behind il,
and that has been and is being thrown away
in its sustainment, it is apparent it ex-
ercises no power in the party it has pre-
sumed to represent. 1t could hardly be
expected the result would be different, and
while Senator Hearst has demonstrated his
ability to acquire large wealth and to secure
a seat in the United States Senate under
circumstances somewhat different than
those that attended the selections Of Sena-
tors in preceding eras. it is apparent his
child knows little about the conduct of
public journal.

SLIGHT DIrFEEENoE OF OPINION.

The intellectual giant who controls the
Stockton Mail declares that Buckley was
not factor in the San Jose Convention"
There is a slight difference of opinion in
this respect between the Nail and the de-
feated competitors Of Mr.. Pond. Both Mr..
English and MIR. Coleman attribute their
overthrow to the influence of Mr.. Buckley
The Mali sees no significance in the fact
that in the fourth and decisive ballot Buck
ley threw the San Francisco delegation
nearly solid for Pond. 1t sees nothing sig
nifcant in the fact that Pond has held the
office of Mayor ofSan Francisco two terms
while Buckley has been the acknowledged
boss of the party. 1t sees no significance
in the fact that while Pond has vetoed some
of BuckIey's bills he has never prevented
one from becoming law. In point of fact
Mr.. Pond and Mr.. Buckley work together
in harness quite well, though the political
team is rather tandem than pair. These
are m alters which the ordinary intelligence
takes note Of.

IN CONTEMPLATION.

The Canadian press seem to have pre-
monitior that the policy of the American
Government in relation TO Canadian rail-
roads is about to be revised. The Canadian
journals which have come under our OBJ
servation do not, however, seem to realize
the Importance of the contemplated change
They perhaps feel some assurance that
policy which has been pursued for so long
aperiUd will not undergo a radical change
without preliminary announcement. Pos
siby they have come to regard the privi-
lege their railroads enjoy Of carrying goods
in bond from one American city through
Canada to another American city as a right
which cannot be taken from them. In
point of fact, however, this privilege is in
the nature of a concession. which we could
afford and which Canada sadly needed
The Canadian Government has never
seemed to realize that the liberaity OF the
policy of the United States required CORE
spending liberality on the part Of Canada.
The bonding privilege which the American
Government has permitted the Canadian
Pacific to exercise has resulted In building
up railroad line through Canada, which
has to an extent bound the provinces to-
gether The Dominion Government, III
pursuance Of this policy of unificatiOn, has
become in effect a grand transportation
company, much of whose business depends
upon continuance Of this privilege, which
it is optional with the United States to
continue. The Canadian railroad has no
business of its own which justifes its exist
ence. II its American business should be
taken from it, its annual deficit would be
larger item in the Canadian budget than
that Government is in a condition to bear.
The debt Of 5000. Geo. which Canada owed
at the time of the confederation, has been
increased to S235, 100000. The greater part
of this debt has been created by gifts to the
Canadian Pacific, which in itself has no
business in hand or in prospect which war
rants such an outlay. The principal OBJ
ject of its construction was political, and to
an extent inimical to the United States, and
yet it depends upon the Iiberality OF the
United States for the greater part Of its
business. If the United States Government
should carry out its implied policy Of with
drawing from the Canadian road the bond
ing privilege it has exercised with rapacity
which could not have been exceeded if the
privilege had been vested right, tie Cana
dian corporation would be in bad fix. 1t
is true the Dominion Government is re-
sponsible for the railroads debts, but that
Government has accumulated about as
much indebtedness as is consistent with
the preservation of its credit. 1t is not
surprising under the circumstances That
the Canadian papers do not discuss the
railroad situation in all the gravity which
it assumes in view of the intimations that
the bonding privilege will be withdrawn.

Very Narrow Escape of Four Bridge
Enldera.

Very Narrow Escape of Four Bridge
Builders.
What might have resulted in serious
accident occurred recently. says the Pitts
burg Dispatch, to some workmen engaged
on building the extension to the Smithfeld-
street bridge. While the James G. Blaine
was passing under the bridge on her way
up, her smokestacks came in contact with
platform which swung from the bottom OF
the bridge. Captain Cock saw that the
boat must strike the platform, and called to
the pilot to sound the whistle. The men
realized their dangerous position and got
off the platform and caught hold of an iron
bar which runs from pier to pier not mo-
ment too soon, as the smokestack of the
Blaine struck the obstruction as the last
man stepped off the platform. One OF the
steamers stacks was broken in two by the
force Of the collision, and the swinging
platform snapped from It's fastenlngS anu
fell to the water.
The four men remained hanging by their
hands. their only means of rescue being to
let 90 of the stringer and drop to the water
below, nearly 100 feet. Several men were
attracted to the spot, and pushed out SKINS
to rescue them.
Finally one of the four was compelled to
relnuuish his hold, through exhaustion,
falling into the water. He disappeared be-
meath the water, but arose again and tried
to swim TO the Skl1f, DuJ DelOTe reaching IL
the little strength which he retained gave
out and be sank. he arose for the second
time, and the occupants of the skiff sue
ceeded in catching hold of him and pulling
him into the boat.
The poor fellow became unconscious, but
the reScuers could not give their attention
to him, as the other three workmen were
still hanging to the iron bar All three held
on for dear life for fully ten minutes, when
they could no longer retain their grasp, and
one by one they fell to the water, and were
rescued by the men in the sklff, who were
by this time REINFORCED by another boat
from the shore. The first man who fell
soon recovered, and was taken ashore.
where all three were given medical atten-
ton on the Brownsville wharfboat After
resting awhile they were sufficiently strong
enough to resume work again. During the
excitement large crowd gathered on the
shore and shouted at the men to do different
things, which badly disconnected them, and
if they could have held TO their positions
few moments longer they would have been
rescued without getting a ducking. The
workmen would not give their names, but
say it was their own fault, as they should
not have blocked the channel with the
ladder.
