supported by the State at Folsom and San
Quentin free of expense. Some persons,
however, may be such perverse thinkers as
to believe the State has been TO expense
enough in supporting criminals at the two
institutions named; but it should be borne
in mind that we are living in an age in
which a considerable number of persons
believe it is better TO assist the unworthy
and depraved than to assist tue virtuous
and upright Our attention has been again
turned to the subject from seeing in the
Record Union a proposition to turn half
of the MendociuO Insane Asylum into a
home for drunkards. The sames paper also
states that it is proposed to turn over half
of the Southern California Insane Asylum
for a similar purpose. The Record Union,
however, does not favor taking the southern
institution for such purpose, as the climate
proposition, is it not, to take our insane
asylums for such a purpose? The public
would not be much surprised if the next
proposition would be to settle pensions
upon drunkards aud eX-cOnvicts.

MORE SAFEGUARDING
4 P0stOffice Station and a Meat.
Shop Entered.

Two more daring attempts at safe-crack-
ing were made yesterday morning. Between
the hours of l and o'clock, Station B of
the PostOtfice, at the corner of Eighth and
Mission streets, was entered and an attempt
made TO break open the safe, which con-
tanned over $1,000, the burglars having gained
an entrance through the skyligh6.
They drilled hole in the safe, knocked
off the knob and smashed the combination
with sledge. IL is supposed the bold oper-
ators were frightened off by the arrival OF a
letter-carrier. The janitor entered the sta
ton at o'clock, but did not then notice
anything wrong. 1t was not until o'clock,
when the regular force of clerks arrived, that
the discovery OF the daring attempt at safe
cracking was made.
trio of burglars also paid their respects
to the butcher-sEop of G. SINH Il Co. at 729
Montgomery avenue. While one remained
outside as a lookout two climbed in through
back window. They took 81 30 out of the
till and then turned their attention to tue
safe. Two young men had been watching
the burglars. however, and summoned ON
GERS Murray and Wren. Officer Wren seized
the lookout, and the noise frightened the
men in the store and they burst open the
front door and ran for liberty.
One started up F1ibert street and was pur-
sued by Officer Murray, who fired six shots
at the fugitive The firing only accelerated
the fugltlveS pace, and when his pursuer
tripped and fell over ladder on the side
walk he disappeared in the darkness. The
other burglar made his way down Mont
gomery avenue aud also escaped. The look
out was lodged in the tanks" at the City
Prison pending a further investigation.
III their nasty retreat the burglars left
their tools. They consisted of sledge, sew
eral picks, a crowbar and Jimmy" Be-
lore being interrupted they had tied blan-
kets around the safe to deaden the sound of
blows upon it. 1t is said that there was
$4,000 in the safe, as Mr.. SINH had left the
money there on Wednesday night with the
intention of paying it OFT to-day for some
property recently purchased.

a DISCOVERY.

Some of our San Francisco newspapers
are evidently learning something of late.
The instruction, however, comes from some
of the officials who were installed into
office under the Buckley regime. These
newspaper men have been so green as to
believe that bin which measured just
enough under ordinary measurement to hold
ton of coal could not be made to mold two
tons. 1t is now, however, understood that
the old officials had made the discovery that
they could crowd two tons of coal into q
one-ton bin. The public have understood
for some time past, also, that Buckley's aids
had devised a method by which they could
make s. come out OF the treasury, when the
custodians of the money thought bat 81 came

CHINESE IN CANADA.

The Canadian advocates Of reciprocity
with the United States. have not apparently
giaen much thought TO the conflicting poll
cies IF the two countries on the Chinese
question. The United States has declared
repeatedly for a policy OF exclusion, while
canada admits all Chinese who think adj
mission is worth $50 In the event of recip-
rocity Chinese would live in Canada and send
the products Of their labor into the United
States. The degree OF reciprocity which

would 90 down before wave Of popular in

lsese immigration a national character. 1t
would bring Chinese living just across the
line in open competition with Americans in
all the Eastern cities. The CALL has
often stated that reciprocity between two
countries required a general harmony Of in
dustrial conditions. Labor organizations
existing in our country might be defeated
in their purpose by the lack OF such organi-
cations in the other country Take, for ex-
ample, the manufacture of boots and shoes
Labor organizations might keep up the rates
Of wages in the United States to a fair STAN
dard, bnt if the labor organizations in Cana
ca were less effective the Canadian product
would be sold in American markets at prices
below the American cost of manufacture
There would be no way to meet such CON-
petition except 10 reduce American wages
to the Canadian standard. 1t is a little odd
that Canadians should make reciprocity an
issue between parties without an under
standing with the American Government.
Neither President Harrison nor Secretary
Blaine can promise reciprocity. Any treaty
that may be negotiated must 60 before Con-
gress, and the action of Congress must aft
erward be passed upon by the people. The
conditions upon which the American people
will accept reciprocity with Canada would
be so humiliating to that country that a
Ministry which might accept them would be

only condition which will secure TO Canada

THE sCHooL-BooK QUESTION. 4

If Mr.. H. c. Brown, expert, is to be be-
lieved, the State of California has not man.
aged the business of printing school-books
for the common schools so as to make it
profitable. Mr.. Brown was directed by ex-
Governor Waterman to dissect the accounts
of the State Printing Office, with a view to
ascertain how the plan of printing school
books was answering. lie reports that as
nearly as he can discover from the books
the First Readers, which the State supplies
to the schools at 10 cents, cost 29.6 cents to
make; the Second Readers, which the State
sells at 80 cents, cost 62.5 cents; the Third
Readers, which the State sells at 40 cents,
cost S3.4 cents; the spoilers, which the State
sells at 20 cents, cost al cents, and the ad-
vanced arithmetics. which the State sells at
30 cents cost 62.5 cents. In word, the
State is not supplying the schools with
books at cost, but at less than half cost.
Mr. Browns idea is that the estimates on
which the sale price of school-books was
predicated were drawn by persons ignorant
of the business, and that the deficiency
which occurred when the books were sofa
at half price was covered up by swelling the
general debtor account of the State Printing
Office. That may or may not nave Deen
the case 1t is mere matter oil oooh-
keeping. The important 1acI III the Cdse 10
that the State is furnishing schooEoooks at
an EXPENSE of about $4,000 year TO tax
payers.
1t NAV be said that one of the fuuda-
mental doctrines of American polity Is that
the State owes 10 every child born within
its borders an education free of charge.
The doctrine rests on the axiom that igno-
rance is more expensive than the schools.
Ii we are bound to teach children at the
public cost we are inferentially bound 10
provide them with the machinery of learn
ing. to erect school-houses, hire teachers,
warm school-It ons, etc. Are We not equally
bound to furnish them, free of cost with
such essential tools of education as school
| books? Our present law admits the liza
| bility by providing that in cases where
| pupils are VIGOROUSLY unable to purchase
schOol-bOoks the State shall furnish them
| free. But where the parents Of the pupil
! are presumably able to buy books the State
supplies them at what the law intended to
be actual cost, but now turns out to be less
than half cost.
1t is believed that the State Printing De-
partment has been grossly mismanaged.
Indeed, as much appears from a communi-
cation from the Governor. which was ad-
dressed to the Legislature few days since.
| 1t is understood that there was great waste
| fu,ness under the last administration in
| nearly every department, but the people are
| in hopes that different state of affairs will

THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN.

1t is rather good sign that the Republic
cans are canVassing the chances Of success
in 1892 with new men at the head of the
ticket. There is an element of weakness in
defeat under any conditions. Such leaders
rs Blaine and Sherman lose force with each
unsuccessful attempt TO capture the big
prize. Their popularity with the people is
measured at each venture and it is only a
new issue of commanding Importance which
brings to them new strength. Mr.. Blaine
probably thinks that he has created that
issue on his reciprocity scheme, but other
leaders see in reciprocity the weak point in
the lines upon which the policy of protection
is laid out. In spite of Mr.. Blaine's plausi-
bic arguments the body of proteetionists
still believe that our trade relations with the
world should be regulated by general law.
Treaties of reciprocity will be found to COM
plicate the work of the legislators. An ex-
ample is furnished in the condition of the
reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian Isl
ands. The general law admitting sugar
free of duty de prives the reciprocity treaty
Of its principal value to the islands. There
are intimations afioat that the Government
OF the United States should in some way
compensate the islands for what they lose
by the general law impairing the value of
the treaty With Blaine or Harrison as the
Republican standard-bearer the policy Of
reciprocity, it is urged, would come up for
searching discussion. Under these condi-
tons 1t may be wise for the party to look up
new leaders. A New York ex-Congressman
talks Of Mckinley as the coming man. He
expects Mckinley to be nominated to the
Goyernorship of Ohio and to be elected by
an overwhelming majority. This will put
MN In line for Presidential nomination.
