ABSCEss OF THE BRAIN.
The Dangerous Disease DR.. Huckins
Suffers From.

DIR. P. T. Huckins, a well-known ply
sician Of this city, has been seriously ill
for some time past. His illness was at
first comparatively triAing, but owing
to some difficulty his medical attend
ants did not properly diagnose his case
until two months after he had suffered
excruciating pains. The DOCTOR illness
at present is caused by abscess of the
brain, which places him in a very dan
gerous position, owing to the fact that
the opening is insufficient to let out the
discharge. The physicians are unde-
cided, as yet, whether to operate or
not, owing to his enfeebled condition
from his long illness. DR.. Huckins has
been a physician in Los Angeles for
many years. He has built up large
practice, and his many friends will
deep.y regret his misfortune. 1t is to
be hoped that he will speedily recover

Jacob Taylor and Dennis O'Brien, who
were arrested in San Diego by Sheriff
Aguirre, were brought to this city yes
terday, and went at once to Burbank,
where they gave bail. Taylor was the
defendant in the recent $4,000 damage

trial that he had been intimate with
Miss Marshall. O'Brien is arrested on

APPROACHING THE END.

THE CALL wonders if the Beard OF Super
vi.ors. which for years past has persisted in
giving the city printing to fay0rites who
could enrich themselves at the expense of
the people in violation of law, will bra
z,n through another fraud of the same kind
The law says, in substance, that the print
ing shall be given by public competition to
the lowest responsible party. This has not
been done, and We are only surprised that
an effort has not been made to punish the
swindle. 1t was surely the duty of the
Mayor to see that the law was complied
with. The CALL has no interest as to what
shall be done with the city printing. but it
does think that there should not be an open
violation of law in the letting OF any con-
tract involving money. The contract for
city printing stands upon the same principle
as does the letting Of any other contract.
Every person who knows anything about
The city printing realizes that an actual swim
die has been going on by which large
amount of money has been extorted from
our citizens, ana that this swindle has been
continued for some time past. 1t has been
one of the boss schemes. For years we be-
ieve this state of affairs has been permitted.
Now the Buckley regime is about to go out OF
power it tries TO fasten the plundering for
another two years ON San Francisco, and
the members of the Board of Supervisors
only laugh at any effort to stop them.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-11-20
TIE PUBLIC REVENUE.

The telegrsphfc correspondents at Wash
ington are in error in stating that the public
revenue for the United States for the fiscal
year ending June 5Oth last-which was
secs, ESQ. 9S2-has only twice been exceeded
III cur history. That revenue was S403, 525,-
$50 in 1882, when the boom was on; it was
1913 49, 5G4 in 1866, ard SIG, SIG, $50 in 1867,
when the war taxes were still in force.
Thus, thrice before has the revenue of last
year been exceeded. But, with single ex-
ception the revenue of last year was larger
than that of any year since 1867. The in
crease is due TO the gradual growth of popu-
lation.
Comparing our revenue with that of
foreign nations, it appears that taxation is
lighter here than in any other leading
Christian country. OF course. our State
county, and city or township taxes should
be added to those levied by the General
Government in order to arrive at an aceu-
p. rate stat, ment Of the taxes which we pay !;
but local taxation prevails also in foreign
counties, and where materials for compari-
sons can be obtained it appears to be as
heavy in most of Europe as here. Leaving
these local taxes cut of view, we find that in
this country the total amount taken from
say Sc 80 per head of the population, while
the total product Of national taxation in
Great Britain is $40, 600 600, say So 60 per
head in France $3.50. co., say S17 per
head; in Germany o6,OO0.OOO, say Sc 30
per head; in Italy $500, 1000. 600. say Sl2 per
head. 1t is thus safe to say that the Ameri-
can people pay less per head Tor their Ma
tional Government than the citizens of Eu-
ropean nations, with the single exception of
Germany, and that the weight Of taxation is
less felt here than in any European country,
including Germany.
This statement, however, does not state
the whole truth. The revenues of European
countries rarely equal their expenditures;
there is almost always deficit at the end of
tie year, which is carried forward with the
next account. Our revenue, on the con-
traTy, always shows an excess of income.
Last year. the receipts from all sources
being S403, oS0, $50, the total expenditures
were only S297. 7S6, 4S6-leaving surplus of
sos. 944 .496. The excess of revenue in the
fiscal year 1889 80 was just about double the
total revenue from all sources in the year

USUAL RATES"

The contract which the Board of Super
visOrs awarded the Stock Report on Mon
day night contains the provision that in
consideration of the performance of the
above work (city printing the parties shall
have the right to charge and collect their
usual rates from The parties interested or
affected for ali resolutions and orders con-
ferring special privileges, opening and clos
ing streets. publishing official notices.
changing established grades or granting
fl franchises, and all resolutions or notices Of
street work" This contract was awarded
in the face of numerous complaints of par
ties interested that the Report had habit
ually charged three or four times its usual
rates" for work done under previous
awards. There appear to be two points
of weakness in this contract-irst, that it
is not just that the city should evade pay
ment of its just printing bills by giving the
parties doing the work for nothing legal
right to seek their compensation from pri-
vate parties; second, if the city does so
evade its just responsibilities it should limit
the amount of compensation that may
legally be taken from these private parties.
The usual rates" OF papers Of the class
the Report is placed IN are elastic. They
take advertising for what they can get.
They announce their usual rates" high
that there may be ample room to come down
in. Their advertising solicitors seldom re-
fuse an offer. The board has turned paper
of this class loose with authority to charge
private parties what they please for certain
work which can be done only in the news
paper designated by the Supervisors.
There will not be much sympathy felt
for property-holders who in the future per-
nit themselves to be feeced by the Report,
as the award made Tuesday night is clearly
Illegal
