AFTER THOSE FEES.
a Suggestive Report to the Supervisors

Suggestive Report to the Supervisors
of san Jose.
The Financial Committee of the Board OF
Supervisors of Sau Jose made a report yes
terday of their recent examination into the
conduct of the County Clerks office from
January 1, 1887, to June 80, 1890. Attached
to the report were the figures obtained from
the books by Accountant Brandon.
After giving pretty full summa AIRY of the
exhibits from a to I the Herald of yester-
day SAYS: The committee then proceeded to
condemn the system of bookkeeping that
is pursued in the County Clerks office.
softening it in the case of the present Clerk
hy saving that it has been in use since 1876
ard recommended that new Textbook be
procured as soon as possible SO that all lees
NAV be entered in separate column from
the one in which the deposits are entered
The committee quoted the law governing
the practice of the County Clerk, and SAID
that the law had not been followed, as the
amounts deposited by and charged to It'll
giants and estates have not been entered In
the Textbook.
The committee further says that the
County Clerk in his monthly settlements
with the County Treasurer should pay over
the total amount actually earned In ices
during the month, and not turn over the
total amount of fees and deposits as he mas
been in the habit of doing.
The committee further observes that by
keeping a Textbook according to law errors
are not nearly so liable to be made and The
actual condition Of the County Clerks ac-
counts can then be ascertained with very
little trouble.
When the new Textbook is obtained the
committee says lists of the amounts due to
litigantS AID estates up to the time OF open
ing the book should be made out and set
tlement arranged so as not to conflict with
the amounts kent in the new book,
The Finance Committee express their deep
sense of obligatin to the County Clerk and
all his deputies for their courtesy and abil-
ity in explaining the mysteries OF their Office
and the intricacles Of the experts report.
The amounts found due from Clerk Single
tary are S473 so in ''errors and discrepan-
ces,' and 500 10 for copying done by his
deputies, who put the fees in their own
pockets. The whole amount is 1868 20.
The committees report was signed by w.
A. H. Edwards chairman, James L. Pbeg-
lev and A. Greeniuger.

CHINATOWN.

We have heard the decision of Judge Saw
yer TO the effect that under the existing
treaty with China, the so-called Bingham
ordinance was in conflict with treaty rights.
1t may be well to remember that while the
exclusion law abrogates the treaty so far as
the treaty conflicts with the law it leaves all
provisions of the treaty in operation which
are not in conflict with the law. One
of these provisions is that the Chinese in the
United States shall have the same rights as
other people, the right of naturalization be-
ing denied them by express act of Congress.
The Bingham ordinance ii is said, was not
passed in good faith. 1t was passed partly
for political effect and patty to cover up the
neglect of the authorities TO enforce sanitary
ordinances in Chinatown. One of the things
San Francisco must do in the near future is
to recover for the whole people of the city
the portion now in possession of the Chi
nese. This may be done by ordinance after
the treaty has been revised or abrogated, or
it may be done by enforcing sanitary regula-
tons while the treaty is in existence. The
equal right of Chinese with other residents
does not include the right TO create a
nuisance 1t does include the right to drive
white men from particular part of the
CitN ~ uhhlu5 lIht pau wv OliChSi't IVA
whites to live in. Certain practices peculiar
10 Chinese may be made unlawful without
any violation of the terms of the teeaty.
When the work of cleansing Chinatown is
approached with an earnest purpose, a
way will be found to accomplish it. There
is no need to pass laws or ordinances that
seem to apply expressly to Chinese. If
there are any white residents who do not

let the law apply to them also. 1t is time to
get to work to clean Chinatown out 1t is
work that will not be accomplished by men
who are in politics for the money there is IN
it for them. We must put men in charge of
the city's Interests who look beyond the
profit OF the hour-men who will devise
policy to clear the city OF nuisance and
pursue that policy without regard to per-

THE SAME OLD STORY.

Henry George is back in New York. He
does not appear to have gathered any wis
dom from his tour round the world. His
sngle-tax theory and his free-trade notions
were politely waived aside in Australia,
though Mr.. George as an individual was well
received. MI George affords an example of
the efficiency of bold assertions. He has
never shown how a single tax on and will
cause the results he promises, but lie prom
ises the results with degree of assurance
that imposes upon certain class of minds
Mr.. George says he is net proud of the
United States. He admits that the United
States have become great under our present
system of protection to American labor, but
he cannot be proud of it because it is not
free. Americans" he says, ''are not free
to build and sail ships; not free from the
dominion Of politicians; not free to buy and
sell peck of al pies without a license"
Mr.. George might have added that America
is not fire. from sin. There are people in it
who do not follow the golden rule; people
who are giasping, unjust and cruel. Still,
as nations 90, it is a tolerably free country.
Every man and every woman is allowed to
have his or her own hobby and to ride it in
season and out Even Georges hobby of a
siBgla tax is tolerated. We have heard of no
proposition TO shut him in an asylum for the
cure of minds diseased Fres trade Mr.
George regards as the remedy for all our
ills. The country is not Free because trade
with foreign nations is not free. 1t is not
free, because we do not permit the free i'm
migration of Chinese and the dumping on our
shores Of the blind, lame and halt Of Europe
and other countries. viii the country be
free under the single-tay system? Wont
landowners or land-tillers have the tax TO
pay? Wont they be put off the land if they
refuse or neglect to pay the tax? viii an
American be more nearly free when he
works in competition with the old counties
for 30 cents day than he now is when his
labor is worth from 81 80 to 81 per day?
There is one point ia Mr. Georges favor
when comparison is instituted between him
and the average Democrat. He Is an out
spoken advocate Of free trade He does not

ambush behind a tariff for revenue only. He
has 10 use for custom-houses or revenue
officers, except to collect the single tax. His
idea of freedom includes free whisky and
the free sale of whisky without Government
interference. He would impose tax on the
man who owns a little land, but none on
those persons who own millions of railroad
and other shares and who have vast posses
sions in bonds, mortgages and cash.

AN UPHILL GAME.
But the Jersey Citys Got
There---Ath1etic and
Sporting Notes.

The Jersey Citys played well yesterday.
They had to do it to win, as the Hartfords
jumped away with a long lead. Turner
was put in the box. He was wild. and at
the end of the first inning the Hart
fords had four runs. They got no
more. Fitzgerald relieved Turner and
the Hurtfords failed utterly to Ruage
him.. They made a few scattering hits,
but not one Of their runners reached the
plate. The nearest they got to it
was in the fourth inning, after
Walsh and Doyle had been
retired on strikes. Moore hit safely and
went to third on Staib's scratch hit.
by McDermott, who covered cen
ire splendidly. In six out of
the eight innings in which
Fitz pitched, only three men went to the
bat. Murphy caught perfectly. apd his
throwing to second could not be ex-
celled.
The Hartfords secured their four runs
by three men going to first on balls, a
t~hree-bagger, two wild pitches, two stolen
bases and Roussey's error.
The Jersey Citys made one in the first.
McGucken hit for two bases and scored
when Van Alstine's hot grounder was
fumbled by Doyle. They added one in
the fifth, when three safe hits were made
U a wild pitch helped Brady along to
the plate. They added another in the
sixth. Roussey and Murphy made safe
hits and the former served on Fitzger-
AIDS sacrifice.
They obtained the lead In the seventh
by making three. Brady hit safe to left
and reached second, as Annis failed to
stop the ball. He scored on Sutton's
poor throw to field Dooley out. Dooley
scored on Van Aistine's two Dagger and
Van Alstine went home. as Roussey hit
to Fister, who threw slightly of to first
and Tiessen was in the runners way and
lost the ball. The Jerseys put on another
nthe eighth when Fitzgerald dropped the
ball in right centre for TWO bases, but the
ball could not be found in the hay field
until Fitz had made the circuit. The
score:-
