BAD BOOKS.

1t is usual during the lenten season for
leading clergymen to vary the subjects of
their sermons by moral discourses on the
bad practices of the day. and DR.. Foute Of
Grace Church followed the custom on
Thursday by preaching on bad books. The
theme is fruitful. From the days of Gut
tenberg the printing-press has been used to
disseminate evil teachings as well as whole
some teachings. One of the stock arVu-
ments Of the fifteenth century against
Typography was that more bad than good
books would be printed, and that the inyen-
ton would work more injury than benefit
to mankind For this reason, until the
times in which we live, almost all Govern
ments have seen fit to establish censor
ship of the press, to the end that the public
morals should not be corrupted by perni-
cious publications, the idea being the old
one that the masses were unfit to select
their own reading without guidance from
constituted authority.
The books against which DIR. Foute COM
plains lie calls popular sensational novels"
lie speaks OF them as a new form OF wron e
which has sprung up in our day. and he
calls upon the friends of pure morals TO
join him in exterminating "a class OF litera-
ture which assails all that we honor and
respect" The learned Doctor paws to the
influence of the catch-penny novels of the
day a compliment which they hardly de-
serve. II the cheap fiction which appears
IN some weekly papers and in twenty
fiye-cent paper editions has any power
to shake the public respect for virtue
and morality the latter must be very
insecurity rooted. The casual reader hardly
gives them credit for any influence at all.

WATTERSON AND HILL.

Henri Watterson reasserts that he ad-
dressed the letter to Governor Hill advising
him to yield to Mr.. Cleveland in 1892, and
Governor Hill repeats his denial of having
received the letter. II Henri Watterson
were an Insignificant person whose name
attached to a letter would make no impress
sion to busy mind the conclusion would be
that Watterson wrote the letter and that
Mr.. Hills denial of its receipt was the re-
suit of imperfect memory. But Mr.. Hill
certainly could not have read a letter Of
this import from Democrat Of Mr.. Waiter
sons standing and have forgotten it. OF
course the conflict Of statements may in the
end be traced TO the chapter of accidents.
| The letter may have been overlooked among
the large number a man occupying Mr..
Hills position would naturally receive. But
the present effect of the controversy is in
| furious to Mr. Hill. If he has made the re-
mark attributed to him in an interview with
New York paper he has an enlarged idea
| OF his relative Importance. A man in Mr..
| Watterson's position has certainly right
10 offer counsel to the leaders in his party
| aspiring to the Presidency. The success of
| the party may be determined by single
| act. In the present case Mr.. Hill has
| gained complete control of the Democratic
| machinery Of the State of New 1ork. Out
| of that State he seems TO have little strength.
There was prospect. therefore, that New
York might stand almost alone in the Ma
tional Convention in urging the nomination
of Mr.. Hill. Under such conditions his
nomination would be hazardous and the
nomination of Cleveland would be attended
with the doubt il he could carry his native
State. A sincere Democrat might deplore
such conflict in the convention, and might
with absolute proprety seek to avoid it.
As yet Mr.. Hill has rendered the Demo-
| cratic party no service which warrants an
assumption OF superiority. He has risen to
| prominence through his control of tine polit-
| zeal machine in a State whose electoral
| vote is regarded as essential to the success
of the Democratic Presidential ticket. There
! are half dozen men in the party who
| would be in advance of him in the line of
! precedence if he had not been caught in the
| Cleveland tide in 1882 and lifted into the
office of Lieutenant-GoYernor of the Empire
| State,

ONE STEP AHEAD.

The Assembly has voted against the prop
osition TO hand the appointment of Fire
Commissioners over to State management.
This was vote in favor of local govern
ment. Ii was a declaration in favor of let
ting San Francisco manage her own affairs
=. SO far, the vote is acceptable to the city.
Our thanks are due members from the in
terror who Aelped to assert the principle OF
local government. But the vote was in
effect only negative vote after all. 1t said
: That certain thing should not be done.
. The next move is to determine what shall
q. be done.
Tie DAILY bin, handing the appointment of
the Fire Commissioners to the Supervisors is
only less Objectionable than the so-ealled adj
lnfniSTation bill, for it provides for a local
bo.s instead Of a State boss in the event of
the election of unreliable Supervisors in the
: future. The men who are behind ii do not
stand better with the community than the
- men behind the administration bill. The
=" MERCHANTS, bankers and business men who
went up to Sacramento to protest against
the administration bill are not in favor of a
local boss. They want FIRE Department
:. Tree from partisan influence. They have ne
preference for Crimmins and Kelly over
DgD Burns, except that the former repre-
State control over local affairs. Viii not
these bankers. merchants and other business
men now unite upon some method of APP
pOiutment which will take the Fire Depart
ment out Of politics? THE CALL has sng-
i2ested an election of a part of the Board Of
Commissioners by the people, but is welded
10 no particular plan. We want the best
plan that can be devised. We would avoid
as much as possible the concentration OF the
: power OF appointment in one source. If all
The Commissioners are made elective there
wi be an effort to control the convention
that dominates them. If all are made ap-
pointiPe the same end may be gained by
controlling the nomination OF the appoint
ing official. If there are three sources of
power to appoint the control of the three
viii be the more difficult. We trust that
the influence OF leading citizens will not stop
with negative action. Let them keep their
shoulders 10 the wheel until plan is de-
yised 10 give the city non-partisan Board
of FIRE Commissioners.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

The CALLS lady correspondent " L. S."
in one letter accounted for the admitted fact
that women in business are usually en-
| plOyes by the frank admission that 1.-The
woman who enters upon a business career
| usually does so from necessity not from
| Choice. This admission accounts for the
TACT that women workers rarely have cap
| ital. Those who have capital do not as a
| rule put it in business. They invest it in
such way as to derive from it regular
revenue. They prefer a smaller income to the
| chances of business. In later letter L. S. !"
asks II the reason women wo rkers do not
] have capital is not because men almost al
ways hold the purse strings, whether the
capital of the matrimonial purse is the hus-
bands or the wife's. In most cases they
do. But when the capital is the wife's the
husband only holds the purse strings at the
wife's request. The law provides against
the use Of wife's money by her husband
without her consent az. s." should hold
fast to her first answer. 1t is sufficient to
account for the fact under consideration.
The average woman does not like business.
Not one Typewriter in a hundred contem-
plates with any degree of compIacency a
long period of work. When they marry
they say goOd-by to the machine without
grateful to it for enabling them to earn
living while they had to care for themselves,
but there was only tolerance in that graft
tude. II in later years they have to come
back to it they do so with sense of hulni-
liation. They have tried to do without it
and failed. Under these conditions women
will not become owners and managers of
business. Their aspirations do not tend
that way. In the vista that rises before
them there is always ZONE sheltered from
the annoyance, OF the business world by the
stronger arm Of a man. and if the average
vile has money of her own she hands it
over to the care of the average husband
Instances there are in abundance waich
show woman to be the better bread winner
Of the two. When women devote themselves
to business as a man does, succeeding if pos
sibie, starting anew when unsuccessful, deal
ing with the world as they find it, pIling up
money after q competence is secured and
retiring from the conflict only when ma
ture warns them the hour for final retire
ment is approaching, they will have capital
and become managers and employers. But
will the mass of women be happier then
than n0W9

ADMIRAL PORTER.

Admiral David D. Porter died suddenly in
Washington Friday morning. At the same
moment two grizzly heroes of the war were
lying at deaths door, General Sherman,
whose death had been expected at any mo-
ment for the last twenty-four hours, expert
enced a change for the better as this man,
who had held in the navy about the same
place in public estimation that Sherman had
held in the army, passed away with hardly a
moments notice that his end was near.
With the single exception OF Farragut, Por-
ter was at the head of the list of cur naval
heroes. His service commenced in the Mex
lean War and the opening of the rebellion
raised him to prominence before the public.
His service at the capture of New Orleans
made his name household word. Since the
war the Admiral's name has been connected
with kind of literary work that would
hardly be expected from man who had
won fame in other departments of labor.
His reputation will rest upon his deeds
rather than upon his words
