MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURE.

The Chronicle says that the Census Bureau
reports twenty cities out of one hundred
whose per capita expenses are greater than
those Of San Francisco. In Mr. Porter's es-
innate or statement of expenditures such
fixed expenses as interest on the municipal
de bit are included in the total. In arriving
at the sum of money to be taken from the
people interest money must be included, but
in a comparative statement of running ex-
.penses of different cities it should not, THE
CALL stated that with but trifle to paw In
the way of interest the revenue collected
from the people was equal 10 that of other
American cities of corresponding size whose
debts consume a large percentage of their
revenue. Mr.. Porter includes interest with
current expenses and finds twenty cities out
Of one hundred whose per capita expendi-
lures are greater than those of San Fran
cisco. II has generally been considered an
advantage not TO have interest to pay
San Francisco adds the trihe it has
to pay in the form Of interest to the
tax levy for current expenses If
the debt were ten times as large,
as it might be without exceeding the debts
of several cities, the extra item would
cut quite a figure in the total tax rate
There is nothing in the census bulletin No.
81 which shows that THE CALL misrepre-
scented the situation when it told its readers
that San Francisco spends more money in
proportion to population than other cities.
The census bulletin rates San Francisco low
for the reason that it does not include street
and district Improvements which are paid
by individuals. As we have already said,
this is matter of system. This city has
adopted that plan of getting its streets in a
condition 10 be accepted, and it works
fairly well. But the tax comes out of the
property-holders as clearly as if the cost of
paving new streets was included in general
expenditures. The sum of about SO, 600, 900
will be added this year to general expendi-
ture on account of new streets and other dis.
trict improvements, which under another
system would be included in the general ex-
penditures.

CHINESE IN MEXICO.

Correspondence published in THE CALL.
on Saturday shows that Mr.. Blaine failed to
secure a treaty from Mexico to prevent
Chinese admitted into that country from
crossing the line into the United States.
The Mexican Minister finds clause in the
Constitution of that country which inhibits
such an agreement. Mexican statesmen
have expressed surprise that the reciprocity
treaty negotiated during the Grant admins
tration was rel cted. Although the fact
that Mexico encouraged Chinese emigration
was not made prominent. in the discussion,
1t had its influence. The United States has
entered upon policy of keeping Chinese out
of the country. The first law forbidding
such immigration is now almost ten years
old. There is no doubt of the viii OF the
people on the proposition to renew it. But
the United States cannot refuse It's citizens
the privilege of employing the cheapest
available labor and import free of duty
goods from adjoining countries that
do employ such labor. There can
be no comprehensive reciprocity in trade
between Mexico and the United States
while Mexico holds its ports open to Chi
neSe labor. Such treaty would invite
Americans and Europeans to settle in Mex
leo, to establish factories there and throw
their goods into the United States. If
American manufacturers cannot compete
with the cheap labor of Europe without pro-
lection, how are they to compete with
Americans or Europeans in Mexico, with
China's immense labor force at their back
There is little use in protecting our manu-
facturers from the products of cheap labor
if cheap labor itself is admitted without
other cost than transportation. Reciprocity
to the extent provided for in the suspension
clause of the present tariff law is likely to
work well for the country, but any reci-
procity which exposes our people to the COM
petition Of cheap labor countries will be dis
astrous. AS first condition of reciprocity
between either Canada or Mexico and the
United States the exclusion of Chinese labor
by Canada and Mexico should be insis ted

nominate Piute Indian. Up to the present
time no ore has supposed that Senator
Stewart had Presidential aspirations. Pos
sbly he hopes. by familiarzng the public
with the idea of Piute Indian for candi-
date, to prepare the way for his own coming.
The Republican party has a silver policy
which is pretty certain to bring silver up TO
its old relations with gold in reasonable
time, and it will hardly be diverted from
this policy either by Mr.. Stewart or whole
tribe of Piute Indians.

Arrested for Libel.

i. III. Harris, an elderly colored man en-
ployed as a porter bv the San Francisco
Savings Union on California street, was ar
rested last night on warrant charging him
with libel taken out by j. A. Hughes. also a
coored man. Harris says that Hughes was
expelled last fall from ali Odd Fellows
lodge in this city to which both of them be-
longed for msbehavior. In June last
Hughes tried 10 get reinstated, and harris
wrote letter to the lodge, in which be
freely accused Hughes of being a gambler
and having been arrested tor gambling
This letter, which Harris fully admits writ
ing and claims he can amply substantiatp,
came into Hughes possession, and he
thereon had Harris arrested.

AN IMPROVEMENT.

The deficiency in different departments of
the city government have to a certain ex-
tent been brought forward from the last
Administration-tla which was under the
rule Of Buckley and his lambs. 1t is due to
the present municipal officers to say this
much. Our present city officials will be
judged at the close of their terms of office.
1t is fair to say, however, that the present
officials are great Improvement over those
who preceded them.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Three suicidal attempts OF overworked school,
boys in Austria have contributed not little to
the reform movement for Increased physical
training Of pupils.
The importatiOns Of foreign textile fabrics for
four weeks. Of June amounted TO $3.50 795
against S11 500, 3o9 for the corresponding ne
Rod Of last year. This accounts for The foreign
manufacturers denunciations OF the Mckinley
tarih, which places the burden OF taxation on
Imported goods that can be manufactured at
home.
The work of gathering and compiling the
statistics of the eleventh census is gradually
drawing to close. Two or three hundred clerks
have already been paid of, and during the next
two months some 1900 will be discharged The
Superintcndepps success in putting the present
census figures In shape for publication at such
an early date, compared with The work OF pre-
yious decades, Is attributed almost wholly to the
use of electrical punching and tabulatng ma.
chimes.
The total value of our imports during the
first eleven months of the last fiscal year was
S771 ,455, 202, as compared with S713,S75 467
FOR The corresponding period OF the preceding
year. an increase of s57 $40. 735. The mercIlan-
disc admitted free of duly amounted TO 1927
342 ,749, against S243.977.2S1 IN the previous
year. an increase OF SS3.365, 46S, While the dutI-
able merchandise showed an increase Of $685.
eleven months were valued at SS16217297
against S793,221, 5G4 for the corresponding
period OF the previous year, an increase OF S22,-
995, 1888 he statistics for The whole year Will
prove interesting as showing the effect of the
new tariff 1t is. however, pleasant to note that
our trade. Instead of languishing, is constantly
increasing.
Horace See, in an article in the Engineering
Magazine, has considerable to say about our
newest war-ships Concerning the Pirate he
says: Cruiser No. IL, on account OF her Zig lit
armament, s only fit to engage with merchant
vessels. II is therefore an open question, as she
Is an expensive vessel TO keep In commission,
whether II would not have been far better Tor
the Government TO have encouraged our mer.
chants 10 build hieb.speed ships That could be
available in case OF war and able TO earn money
in time OF reace instead IF spending it." This
prov 0kes The Ietoit from Editor Dana that "ibe
TWO plans are not aniagonistic or alternative
and Secretary Tracy asked Congress to carry
cut both. The country needs fast cruisers like
the Pirate, and IL would also be stronger with a
reserve or merchant vessels that could b. armed
and used by the Government 10 case of war. 1t
