THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MIDDLE.

1t is admitted that the contest over seats
in the Board of Fire Commissioners is
proper subject for judicial investigation.
Ever since the adoption of the new ConSti-
tuition took the appointing power from the
courts in which the law then in operation
placed il, Commissioners have held offics on
a doubtful! tenure. But the contest that is
now foreshadowed between Commissioner
Parsons and Mr.. Proll whom Governor
Markham has appointed to take Parsons
place, is of much greater significance than
the nature OF the Office seems TO indicate.
If MI Parsons holds on he will form Will
Commissioner Schmidt and Commissioner
Ames majority of the board. The bosses
will in that case be in power. The pre-
sumption is fair that the Fire Department
will continue under their control to run the
primaries of both parties. The fact that the
Fire Department is attending 10 this part of
their duties as heretofore will do much to
discourage peaceable citizens from attempt
ing to vote at primaries. The primary
election next year will determine in whose
hands the leadership of the two parties
shall remain. Delegates to the National
Convention will be elected by conventions
composed of delegates elected at the pri-
marles. The ascendencv OF the Crimmins-
Kelly-De Young faction of the Republican
party may be secured by the combination
Commissioner Parsons is reported to have
formed with Schmidt and Ames.

FORBIDDEN TOPICS,

THE CALL of Monday morning had the
following paragraph in its local columns:
/" The audience at Calvary Presbyterian
Church last evening was made up almost
entirely Of strangers, many members of the
congregation remaining away, presumably
on account of the announcement that DR..
Easton would talk on the Social Evil
THE CALL can comprehend the sense of
responsibility which prompts clergymen to
preach on what may be termed forbidden
topics. They see deplorable condition of
things, and imagine that by talking about
it they provide a remedy. But the good
that is done in this way is hardly percepti-
Bile. The condition remains the same. DR..
Easton added nothing to the stock of
knowledge on the subject. He had no
method by which the evil he depicted conld
be eradicated. lie may have made the
younger portion of his audience more
familiar with hidden vice than they were
before, but beyond a general warning he
left the subject pretty much as he found 1t.
When DR.. Easton or any other Clergyman
or public teacher will formulate plan by
which the evil may be rooted out or even
perceptibly mitgated his purpose will JUS
tily the prominence he gives to topic by
common consent avoided. But if declama-
ton and exhortation would accomplish
anything the conditions described would no
longer exist.

THE COMING CONGRESS.

The fifty-second Congress will assemble
in Washington next Monday, the first Mon
day IN December. The House will be COM
posed of men elected thirteen months be-
fore the first regular meeting of the body of
which they are members. We think no
member Of the party dominant in the House
viii contend that the House that meets
Monday could have been elected last No
vember. The House remains after the in
pulse which elected it has ceased TO exist.
But It is reasonable to suppose that when so
many tid0l-waye Democrats get together
they will fancy themselves still borne on
The wave that gave them official existence.
There are now two distinct wings OF the
Democratic party. Tie free-trade or tariff
far revenue wing recognizes Cleveland as
its head, with Mills and Carlisle as lieuten-
ants. The reason that Cleveland Is recog-
u zel Is captain is that neither Carlisle nor
Mills is regarded as available for the Presi-
denCy- 1t IS not yet considered safe to
nominate a late Confederate for that high
aiiiea II Mills is elected Speaker. the free
trade wing Will be in the aseendency. They
may not attempt to carry their theory into
practice this winter but if Cleveland should
be elected President in 1892 they will con-
slider that they have been given authority
by the people TO proceed. Tho other wing
is for a moderate protective tariff. Its
views have not been very distinctly defined.
4 moderate protective tariff comes under
the general name of tariff reform, which
Democrats Of all hues and compleXions pro-
pose to favor At the lead of this wing is
Governor Hill, With Senator German and
Repres+n 'atiYe Crisp as lieutenants. II
Crisp should be elected Speaker, there will
be no general onslaught upon the tariff as it
now stands. They may propose to amend
III detail and very likely their amendment IS
may be accepted by a good many Republic
cans. A measure that may not be amended
with benefit to the people after two years of
trial would be a pretty good example of

CRIMINAL BORROWING.

The law does not make borrowing money
a crime. Obtaining money by false pre-
lenses is a misdemeanOr, but a man or
woman who can talk another man or woman
into a loan without making absolutely false
representations as to his or her means Of
payment remains simply a debtor. And
in many cases they remain so a long time.
Butthere is kind Of borrowing the law con-
siders criminal. A banking firm which loans
money on securities and borrows money on
those securities commits one form of theft.
The securities are not as a rule, good both
for the original loan and for the second loan
which the temporary holder has obtained
upon them. Somebody has to lose. and it is
not often that the guilty party has much if
anything to lose The disclosures made in
the Field failure raise the question as to the
condition OF other specializing firms. How
many OF them are at all times able to meet
their obligationsP The Field firm had been
doing an unlawful business many years
without discovery. Its methods were sus-
pected as being irregular, but so long as
there were Peters to be robbed to pay Pauls
with its credit remained fairly good. Since
the failure the fact comes out that the indebt-
edness OF the firm is greater than the entire
fortune of Cyrus w. Field. who has been
ranked as one of New York's rich men.
The alarming feature OF the day is the dis
position Of business men to speculate with
other peoples money. Ii the Spectator

loses for some other man or number of men,

REV. ?. W. DORSEY.


He Resigns His Passionate and VIII Go
East-His Successor.
After eleven years Of most profitable re-
ligiOus work in this State, the Rev P. W.
Dorsey is about to close his lab0rs here and
depart with his family for the East, his
former home. Nj. Dorsey, for reasons
chiefly personal. has rendered his fesigna-
ton to the church and asked that it be ac-
cepted at as early a date as possible. MIR.
Dorsey has not decided definitely as to his
future course. He will probably locate in
New York State, where good inducements
have been offered him in the ministry. He
VIII be gratefully remembered on this Coast
for tie churches lie has built. His first pas
tOrate, after graduating from the seminary
at Rochester, " Y, was at Los Angeles,
where lie found the congregation small and
with no meeting house oil its own. In about
three years time they had church which
would compare favOrably with any in the
city. and when Mir. Dorsey vas called 10
san Francisco, it was entirely free of debt
What he did for Los Angeles he has done
for the Emmanuel Baptist Church of this
city. With the wise and unhesitating CO.
operation OF wife, nc less enthusiastic and
devoted TO the cause than himself, he has
built and equipped church than which
there IS none better among the Baptists in
the State.
MI Dorsey's successor has not as yet been
chosen. 1t is rumOred that the Rev. &c Witt
l. Y an D0ren, who was Mr.. Dorsey's prede-
cessor. will be recalled, such being the de-
sire Of large number of the members.

SAW WOOD OR STARVE.
Workings of a Scheme Devised
by the Charitable.

The woodward OF the Associated Charities
was opened last Friday. 1t is located in an
old and otherwise vacant stable on Webb
street.
To this place the San Francisco Benevo-
lent Society. the German Benevolent So
ciety and kindred organizations may send
all male applicants for aid, and they will be
given an opportunity to prove themselves in
a measure seif-suStainng. For saving
splitting and piling wood they are paid 20
cents au hour or a check equivalent to that
amount. For three hours work they are
given three 20-cent checks, which are good
for two square meals and bed at clean
hotel.
Robert BeechinE, Secretary of the asso-
citation having the woodward in charge, gave
out 81 meat and 70 lodging tickets on Fri
day, 10 meal and L lodging tickets on Sat
urdny, and A meal and 20 lodging tickets
yesterday.
Owing to a lack Of tools and wood the de-
mand for an opportunity to work at the
woOd-pile has thus far been greatly in ex-
cess OF the facilities.
Mr.. Beechins says that one good result al
ready noticeable is the wedding out of the
tramps from those willing and anxious to
work.
The bum will not work. and through
the agency of the wood pile the charitable
organizations are gradually getting rid OF
him.
