WILL THE DECISION STAND?


A Washington dispatch says that the Post
Office Department has determined that the
decision in the matter of the PoStot1ice site
shall stand unless it can be shown beyond a
doubt that the landis a swamp. Two objec-
tons are made TO the Seventh and Mission
streets site. One Is that it is swampy, the
other is that the price is SO much too high
that faint attaches TO the transaction. The
assessed value OF the property sold to the
Government for 81, 040.OO0 is less than $780,
Coo. Assuming that the assessment is 20 per
cent lelow the actual value Of the land, we
nave $500 600 as the selling price. Now the
people of san Francisco do not want to ap-
pear in the eyes Of the world as selling
20 the vernment a piece OF property at
Sl040G10 that would only bring about $780,
go at private sale 1t is true the Govern
meut might be required to pay little more
than the selling price of part in order to
secure the whole But 100000 or $500, 900
ought to cover that difficulty. No one ex-
poets the people of California or the people
of any other city TO rise above a dollar
and cent consideration Of business propo-
sitiou. But it is not good policy to try for
too much at one grab. After the Postofice
site is bought and paid for we have to 20 to
Congress Tor an appropriation for the build
iug. When our delegation asks for a fair
appropriation it viii be discouraging to be
met with an allusiOn to the fact that a $780,
90 tie had been sold to the Government
for 100000. II is not well TO faint an en-
terprise like this with mistrust at the very
outset. 1t is not well TO faint such an en-
terprise with mistTust at any time or place,
but if the disposition is so strong that it
cannot be resisted. it should be put off until
tie building is nearly completed. Taking
broad and non sectional view Of the matter,
we could not blame an Eastern Congress
man who should oppose an appropriation to
build a costly building on land which had
been sold TO the Government for three times
u actual value. In the long run fair deal
ing is the best policy If we had shown
less disposition to speculate on the neces-
sites Of the Government in the first place,
we might by this time have had a new Post
III almost ready for occupancy. But the
half million dollars there might be in the
transaction has held the enterprise in abey-
ance four years. San Francisco must rise
above this way of doing things. We have
10 right to complain if we are regarded with
suspicion so long as we lose no opportunity
10 expose ourselves to suspicion. It is quite
probable in this case that the mischief has
been done. If the Government builds a
PostJfiice at all, it will probably be on its
own land. We have forfeited our right to
complain if such determination should be
made by an attempt to impose a bad site on
the Government at an exorbitant price.

A PROMISING INDUSTRY.

California ought to turn its attention
largely TO the production of sugar from the
beet. as it would relieve other industries
from overprOduction. We are now assured
that the beet will succeed, and that the
production of sugar will prove profitable
enterprise. The only obstacle urged against
the effort is the cost of machinery, and the
buildings necessary for carrying on the
business. These may be upon moderate
scale, for there is no necessity for large
outlay. Oue hundred thousand dollars
would give neighborhood the means of
going into the business successfully, for
there is no longer any secret in the produc-
ton Of sugar Companies can, and doubt
less will, be instituted and located in vari-
GUS portions of the State. There are few
locations where the farmers cannot form
cooperative associations, and thus realize all
the profit there may be in beet cultivation.

THE GRAND JURY KUmPUs.

The Chronicle is of the opinion that San
Francisco correspondent of several interior
papers has got to the bottom of the Grand
Jury rumpus in the assertion that lat the
bottom of the whole reform movement the
discerning eye discovers greed aud revenge
as the chief impelIing motives" W lthout
doubt the Chronicle would like to see the
Grand Jury investigation held in suspense
bv sensational charge tnat selfish motives
prompted it. But there has never been a
reform movement nor demand for the dis
covery and punishment If crime that might
not be attributed to a desire on the part OF
its originators to get even with somebody.
When nineteen-twe OF the citiZ Ms,
indignant and disguised at repeated frauds,
rise up to put the boodlerS down, some
sneering scribe may say that the majority
are mad because they are not in with the
steals. limitations of this character are
readily grasped at by the one-twentieth
who want to be left alone. The writer
above quoted continues: Every gutton
who has fed at Buckeyes board, and de-
serted it only because the fare grew scant,
is ayawp Tor reform; so Is every well
known citizen and faithful Democrat who
crawled through the sewers TO reach Buck
lev, and was refused the Office he sought;
so is every small rogue Of politics who.
having nothing, hopes for something. no
matter what, for himself outof new deal"
If only the characters described were in
the reform movement, neither Republican
nor Democratic rogues would need to leave
town. But at the present time the Grand
Jury has the support and confidence of the
bulk OF our citizens, who knew Buckley
only as political boss, aud who now know
the gang the Grand Jury is after as public
enemies. But when the Grand Jury falls
under the control of the small rogueS OF
politics, it will soon betray Itself. Until it
does il has a right to the support of all
right-minded citizens.

His Explanation as to What He Had to

Referring to the PostOfice site. Colonel
John P Irish, in conversation with a repre-
sentative of THE CALL yesterday. said that
so far as the selection of the site was con-
cerned it was something that he did not
have anything to do with, but what will
stand by" he continued, sis the report l
made as to the condition of he-land. This
talk about the site being part of tho bog is
all wrong. While making the investigation
into this matter l ascertained that the site
was in the early days a sand hill between
fifty and sixty feet in height, and 1 also
have the soundings of an artesian we'll
borer, who sunk down q distance of over
100 feet without encounterIDg any flow of
water. On the contrary, he found hard
ground and plenty of it. Conversations
with number of old residents confirm the
statement that the site selected was not in
the bog, but that it was a high sandhill. |
am having the affidavits of these people
prepared, ana also that Of the well-bOrer,
and these Will be sent on to Washington.
As one of the commission it was my duty TO
examine the various sites offered and to re-
port what they were, and that did and u 9TH
ing more. Two of the sensational papers have
been saying all sorts OF things, and asking
that the Grand Jury make an investigation.
So far as l am concerned L do not fear any
investigation by that or any other body.
These papers feel sore, and, mind you. l
don't say that they have, but possibly they
may have reason to feel sore. l Just want
the people TO know" said the Colonel, pre-
pairing to leave, that it was made my duty
to examine the sites and report on their con-
dition, ana that did; but as to the seec-
ton of the site, that L had nothing to do

THEN AND NOW.
The following paragraph is copied from

The following paragraph is copied from
tie New York Herald of a recent date:
Ex-senator POmeroy OF Kansas, who has
lately died, a living Illustration IN the later
years OF his life OF the steTnness with which the
Republican party In It's earlier days, visited
retributiOn upon those who became identified
with questionable acts In their public career.
Senator POmeroy was connected with The giving
OF a bribe for the purpose of securing hs re-
election. He was straightway defeated, aud
remained In a condition Of ostraclsm 10 the
hour OF bis DEATH But, really, Senator Pome-
roy did no worse than men who have been made
since the rulers and the bosses in the greatest
States 10 the Union, and have even been puG at
the head OF the rational party 10 the manage
ment Of political campaigns. His misfortune
was that he lived too early. Had he been in
Congress ten or fifteen years later the chances
are that he would have been reinstated as
great public leader or made the subject OF
eulogistic resolutions al tile hands Of his party
associates. This Is The difference between living
when parties were careful to preserve public
Integrity, and in the times when they were ad-
yised by those prominent in their membership
rot 10 be "too particular"
Superficial observers take it for granted
that the purchase and sale Of Office and the
corruplions Of officials In the United States
viii continue because the practice has OBJ
States; that the sensibiIities of the people
have become callous to wrong-doing THE
CALL does not believe this is the case. OF
course. in the way nominations have been
made for some time past few men who
have had money have corrupted conven-
tions, by which means dishonest officials
have been forced upon the public. The
great mass of he people, however, arc as
oh cad "a ri md ntbar
of crimes as ever, but it was difficult to
find a remedy, for when the machinery of
both political parties was in the hands of
knayes bad men were sure to be elected.
Under the Australian system of voting,
however, there appeared chance to head
off dishonesty. In California we have not
yet secured complete victory, but we are
making progress toward it, notwithstanding
the clogs which were thrown around the
Australian system by theIast Legislature.
