We FEEL like rendering our hearty
commiseration to the people of the city
and county of San Francisco. 1t will be
perceived by . telegram, that appears
elsewhere, that the real estate valuation
OF the people of the Golden Gate has
decreased $67 900, 900, although the past
year has been unusually active and
profitable in property transactions. That
means that the astute spoliators OF the
metropolis of the Pacific coast have
made up their minds to diminish their
contribution to the state treasury by
three-quarters of million of dollars.

The reports of the spread of cholera in
Spain are not pleasant reading. Espe-
cially are we rendered anxious when we
see that it has crossed the frontier an d
made disappearance in some of the towns
Of the French Pyrenees. If the dread
scourge should become wide spread in
France, there is every reason to fear
that it will cross the Atlantic. The
medical authorities of the United States
should lose no time in taking all the
precautionary measures possible to ar
rest the dread disease at our ocean gates.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2. 1890.
A NEEDED REFORM.

There is something quite peculiar
about the way the senate of the United
States is putting on exclusive and aristo-
cratic airs. Each member of that august
body has private secretary, and each
of these personages is paid by the ma
tion. They do this thing far differently
in monarchical England. 1t is doubtless
great privilege to be peer in that coun-
try, but the people who occupy that dig
nified station receive no pronunciation for
their services, nor do they assess any
fine upon the English exchequer for
clerical or other easements which they
may enjoy. They go down into their
own pockets and dig out the salaries of
their dependents, just as they render
personal service to the state without
any pecuniary compensation. Doubt
less it may be said that these services
are of very questionable utility, and
that about the only thing that the
English house of lords has
been able to do during the
past quarter of century is
to prevent the passage of bill en-
abling man to marry his deceased
wife's sister. Still there is large num-
ber of the people of the United States
who think that our senate is quite as
useless as the house of lords. The other
day the country was entertained by the
story told by the wife of senator of the
United States, who thought that she
had a perfect right to draw salary from
the national treasury as her husbands Is
private secretary. For our part we do not
think thatth American people will warm
up to any such proposition. For one
case in which such practice might be
defended there would be dozen in
which it would degenerate into a gross
abuse, and there is nothing attractive
about any aspect of it. The sooner the
senator is brought down to the standard
of the representative, and made to
stand on his own brogans the bet
ter. A San Francisco paper has made
quite sensation by publishing
details of the extravagant outlays
made by senators, ostensibly with view
to the public service, but really for their
own personal convenience. 1t is cor
rupt and growing usage that should be
frowned down. Under our somewhat
complex political system it may be i'm
possible to abolish the senate altogether,
but its members should be made to feel
the force of an aroused and wholesome
public opinion. If the senator or repre-
sentative does rot receive adequate COM
pensation for his services, the
amount ought to be increased,
but there is no excuse for loading
mp the appropriation bills with the sal
aries of the secretaries of these high and
mighty officials, nor is there the slight
est justification for making the national
treasury pay for the scissors used in sem
atorial households or fol the visiting
cards used by the senator's wife. We
need return to methods of repub-
ican simplicity and responsibility, and
the sooner the desired reform is inaugu-
rated the better.

Labor Day.

The Governor has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE DEPART
MENT, TOPEKA, Aug ID, 1S90.-The Topeka
Trades and Labor Assembly asks that the
Several State Departments be closed on La
Dor day and that the National flag be ia Sed
on the State House.
The object of the State federation of labor
is "a closer relationship between all
branches of organized labor in order that
equality of right and privilege may be OBJ
tanned for wage workers" and "to obtain an
eight hour work day, better general condi
tions of labor and eother needed industrial
and social reforms" 1t is hardly an exagger-
alton to say that the whole people of Kan
are laboring men and women. Labor is
better paid and held in higher esteem in the
United States than in any other country,
and in no State is labor more honored than
in Kansas. 1t is our lot and will be the lot
of our children. Whatever can be done to
better the condition of the laboring man
people.
In view of these facts, and in full sympa-
thy with all legitimate efforts of the worker
in all parts of our commonwealth, ], Lyman
U. Humphrey, Governor of the State of Kan
sas, do hereby proclaim and set apart Mon
day, September l, 1890, as Labor day, and re-
specially recommend that the day be OBJ
served as holiday, and that business be so
far suspended as to permit all persons who
may desire to participate in thespublic exer-
ciseS of the occasion.
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto SUBJ
scribed my name and caused to be affixed
the great seal of the State. Done at the city
of Topeka, this, the 18th day of August, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety.
