enced by my name as the Assistant Bishop Of

TO give their money 70 an institution, how
ever beneticent its object. unless / feel entire
confidence in the judgment and the prudence
of the administration of its affairs and the

to do all in my power by advice and personal

THE AUSTRALIANS CONSTITUTION.

There is at present in session at Sydney,
New South Wales, a convention sGl.lar to
the one which met at Philadelphia 1O4 years
ago for the purpose of framing constitu-
ton for the United States. 1t is charged
with the duty of framing an organic instru-
nent for the federated Australian colonies.
1t has been some time in session, and thus
far, according to the dispatches, it has not
made much progress with its work. 1t has
agreed upon a uniform tariff for the fedora
ton drawn upon the lines of the revenue
tariff of New South Wales, but it has
shifted the duty of adjusting the debts of
the provinces to the Federal Parliament.
1t has borrowed from this country the dual
plan Of State and Federal sovereignty. But
instead Of providing, as our system does,
that in the event of conflict Of authority
judicial tribunal shall arbitrate between the
two, the Australians propose in a crude
way that in that event the Federal authority
shall prevail.
The Australian Constitutional Convention
enjoys the advantage of our example as
guide, but it labors under the disadvantage
Of having to frame a scheme of self-gOYern-
ment for a community which is not COM
pletely self governing The colonial tie
has never been severed, and the right
of Great Britain to interfere in the
management Of the colonies has never
been abandoned. The Queen sitting
in privy council may veto an act of
the Colonial Legislatures. and though the
right is rarely asserted, it still exists, and
may be invoked in case of war, or other
supreme exigency. When federation was
first proposed, the act of 1885 extended the
same imperial control to the acts Of the
Federal Council; no measure could have
the force of law until it had received the
Queens assent. 1t is obvious that so linn
tied a measure of autonomy did not give the
Australians a chance of showing how they
could regulate their own affairs when they
were not interfered with. Again, the Gov
errors of the colonies are appointed by the
crown, and as they also possess veto on
d. the acts of the Provincial Legislatures, the
independence Of the colonies is still further
fettered.
If we assume that the government Of the
mother country will always adhere to the
wise policy Of non-interference, and will let
the veto power always lie in allegiance, the
colonies may make their experiment of
self-government with some prospect of sue
cess, If they use our example as n light to
guide them. They will probably find, when
they come to put their constitution into
force, that they cannot get on without
Supreme Court There must be somewhere
an authority which can determine twhere
the sovereignty of the colonies ends and
the sovereignty Of the federation begins

Interests OF one colony will conflict with the

THE PosToFFICE SITE.

The long delay 10 selecting a site for the
new Postofiice for this city is causing gen
eral remark. The time expended in DELHI
era-ion over the matter is out of all proper
ton t. the amount of money involved. The
commission named to make the selection
has held several meetings but as yet nothing
has been done, The sum appropriated by
Congress has twice been Increased and is
now sufficient to secure lot in a desirable
locality. Still nothing is done. Some
years ago when the Tehama-street site was
av0wedly under consideration The CALL
aseertained that certain parties had bonded
tile property composing the Tehama-street
site for the sum of 500, 600. Two or three
l0ng-headed owners of property included in
the site refused to bond. but agreed 20 sell
for proper proportion of whatever sum
the stts might eventually be sold for. The
cost of journeyng to and from Washington
and other Incidental expenses attending
transactions Of this nature are estimated at
$4,000, leaving the sum Of S350,0O0 to the
syndicate in case the site should be sold for
$3.50, coo. There is reason to believe that the
parties interested In the Tehama-street site
are still working to effect sale. Unlocked
for difficulties have arisen to prevent the
purchase Of site in other localities. There
is an unaccountable disposition in official
circles TO let the matter sleep. The Te-
hama-street syndicate may as well under
stand first as last that the people Of this city
will not tamely submit to the location of the
PostOf1ce in that locality. 1t is out of the
present business center and out of the trend
Of improvements. 1t is not creditable to tile
city that half dozen men should stand In
the way Of such an enterprise as the con-
structiOn OF new POstoffice. or course the
commission intrusted with the final selection
are not suspected Of having a personal in
terest in the matter, but their inaction Gre
ates theimpression that powerful influence
is being exercised upon them in the interest
OF speculation.

THE BILL WAS NOT SIGNED.

Some years ago contractor convinced
himself that he had claim against the
State of California for about $4,000 for
work done on the Folsom branch prison. In
several succeeding Legislatures he intro
duced a bill providing Tor payment, but the
legislators did not take an active interest in
the bill. At the last Legislature the bill
was presented, but in place of $4,000 the
appropriation asked for was $4,000. For
some reason the Lawmakers began to take
an interest in the bill. One by one they
were convinced of its absolute justice. The
bill passed and went to the Governor.
When the Governor came to the bill and
saw how it had grown from $4,000 to i is
present proportions he sent for the con-
tractor. What did the passage of this bill
cost your" asked the Governor. Not 4
cent" replied the contractor. The Gov
ernOr unused moment, then asked: "What
is the meaning of lien for $4,000 on this
claim, in case the bill becomes law, now on
file in the Recorders Officer" The con-
tractor had no answer to this question, but
there is belief that he might have an
swered that the real meaning of the lien
was the dissemination of members Of the
Legislature to take his verbal promise to do
the right thing The bill was not signed.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.
The Boston Journal of April I'd said:

The Boston Journal Of April I'd said:
Yesterday the provision Of tile Tariff Eli which
freed sugar and molasses from the payment OF
dulles went into effect. and the immediate result
was the reduction in the retail price Of molasses
by 10 cents per gallon, and IN the price of sugar
by from to 212 cents perspound.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that the
effect Of the new law in that city WAS to re-
duce the price Of sugar by 2 cents pound.
In the face of these and similar statements
in newspapers from all parts of the Union
east of the Missouri River, the Alta says:
THE Mckinley bill took the entire tariff
off raw sugar. but left the compromising
tariff on refined sugar untouched The effect
is to give the refner free raw material, and
to protect him entirely from competition in
refined sugar, and the result is no decrease
in the price of sugar to the consumer and
the transfer of $50, 200 year sugar tariff
from the treasury to the pockets of reiners"
The reduction in the price of sugar in all
Eastern cities cents pound is the answer
to the assertion that the Mckinley tariff
transfers $1,000, 900 year from the treasury
to the pockets of refiners. The 100000 of
people on the Pacific Coast do not as yet par
ticipate in the benefits of this reduction.
Raw sugar is, of course, admitted free into
Pacific ports, but a con- bin alton between
the two refnerieS on this Coast and the rail-

THE MINING BUREAU.

1t is now stated that the Mining Bureau is
not one of the public institutions which the
Governor crossed out of the General Appro-
priation Bill. The public will be glad that
tire Mining Bureau has escaped. 1t is one
of the most useful Institutions in the State.
Its extinction or suppression would be a
public misfortune. lis collection of miner
ais is invaluable and should be preserved
and added to. The field work carried on
each year has directed capital into mining
enterprises that have employed a large num-
Der Of men, with the usual beneficial results.
The 50-cent limit was not intended to cut off
reasonable appropriations to maintain insti-
tutions of this character. 1t is only expected
that they shall be maintained without ex-
traYagant expenditure

roads enables the importers Of free raw
sugar to refine it and charge the public about
the same price as if the old duty were paid
onraw sugar. Previous to the LIST of April the
railroad freight rate on sugar coming west
was 81 20 hundred pounds. The rate has
since been raised to 81 per 100 pounds. The
latter rale is practically prohibitory. No
sugar can be sen. from the East to the Pacific
Coast while freight rates remain at this fig
ure. The AHa says it is rather proud of
railroad that can make the retiners divide.
The alta does not apparently comprehend
that if the railroad company had maintained
the old rate the refners would have been COM
PEELED to reduce the price of sugar so cents
on the 100 pounds to prevent E astern sugar
from entering our market in competition
with that of local refiners.
