withstand the pressure. The fountains

STEWART ON SILVER COINAGE.

We cory The following remarks from the
Chicago Tribune of recent date:
Caliiorniaus are asking by what right Senator
Stewart, representing only the rotten pocket
borough OF Nevada, undertakes to speak for the
- Pacific COAST on The matter OF the silver coin
age. II is told Of the Senator that once, when in
a brown study, his name was called by The Clerk
OF the SenaI , aud he was nudged by his neigh
Dor and reminded that he must vote He pulled
himself together, aud, forgetting where he was,
cried out, ." pass" The San Francisco CALL
suggests that it might not be q bad idea for
stewart TO pass now.
Tile assumption is unwarranted, the San Fran
cisco CALL says, that the West is FOR free coin
age " IN the country west of The Missouri Val.
ley" says THE CALL 1.-THE silver mining Interest
is large and powerful. II controls men and 1t
controls newspapers. II makes a tremendous
noise, so loud that ii appears 10 be The voice Of
tie Whole Western people. But II IS not. vast
majority Of The people Of tile West are not own
ers Of silver Mines and have not the smallest
notion Of parting with their properly their
labor fol a currency which is depreclated.'
We copy The above in order to correct
what might prove to be p misrepresentation
by casual readers. The inhabitants Of Cali
fornia are not in favor of the free coinage of
silver. They believe the Government is now
pursuing the proper policy. That is, it pur-
chases a certain amount of silver monthly,
as much as it can hold at par with gold when
coined. Our currency is now upon solid
basis, and it is hoped that the monthly pur-
chase will tend to advance the price of silver
until it may be coined without danger Of
driving gold out OF circulation. A class of
persons in several Of the States west of the
Mississippi, notably those which produce
large amounts of silver, would favor the
free coinage. even if they knew it would
drive silver out of circulation. Senator
Stewart belongs to tnat class OF persons.

rHE DOODLE CHORUS.

The first strains of the Doodle chorus are
being sounded. The CALL has never had
doubt but that the deficiencies appearing
in the several departments OF the city gov
eminent would in time be attributed TO the
dollar limit. There are only scant words Of
condemnation for officials who have mis-
used money intrusted to them, but vehe-
ment abuse is bestowed upon the tax-pay ers
who have refused to hand over large part
OF their earnings to be squaudered. The
shortage is now estimated at S225, 900. Au-
ditor Smiley says it is the result of an accu-
mutation Of deferred payments. That Off
cial admits that there has been much waste,
but thinks that honest debts should be paid.
Tie rule now, he says, is to lie awake at
night to mature plans of extravaganza for
the next day. The methods by which these
deficiencies have been piled up will be dis
closed should an attempt be made to enforce
payment The principal cause Of the short
age is the employment of subordinates
there is neither work nor money for. The
School Department has more than one
hun dred more teachers than we're employed
six years ago, when the average attendance
upon the public schools was greater than at
present. The average teachers salary is
above $40 month or $40 year. The
department is thus saddled with an ex-
penditure of $4,000 that may be considered
a waste. II is the same in the Fire Depart
ment. Men are employed for whom there is
little or no work. The unpaid salaries of
some of these unneeded employees figure on
the list of the city's debts. 1t Is not prob
able that the deficiencies would be less if
the revenues were larger. There does not
seem to have been an attempt In any de-
partment to keep expenses within the ap-
preparation. The idea has been to get as
much as possible in the way OF appropria-
ton and TO incur debts to the extent of the
city's credit. Fortunately the State and city
have declared that no credit for the city is
wanted. The Constitution plainly provides
that one years deficiencies shall not be paid
out of the succeeding years revenues. Warn
ing is thus given to persons who might be in a
position to become the creditors of the city.
1t does not follow that the city's creditors
have no recourse. The heads of the depart
ments are under bonds for the faithful per-
Torrance of their duties. 1t was the busi-
ness Of these chiefs to know the condition
of their own departments. They had no
right to incur debts they could not pay.
Doing SO was q malfeasance in off ce for
which the officials may be held personally

STATES AND TERRITORIES.

One OF the most important problems which
the Fifty-second Congress will have to
solve is the status of the five remaining
Territories-Utah, New Mexico Arizona.
Oklahoma and Alaska. The policy of the
Fiftieth and Fifty first Congresses will
either have to be followed and these Terri
tories admitted, without regard to their
population, or Congress will have to revert
to the old-time policy, which required a
Territory to have population enough TO
elect member of Congress-according to
the general proportion of members to in
habitants-in which case some at least of
the Territories viii remain in Territorial
condition for some time to come.
Of the Territories which have been knock
ing at the door of Congress for several
years, one-New Mexico-has according to
the census of 1890 very nearly a population
equal to the average constituency repre-
sented by a member Of Congress- which
may be roughly given as 10000; another,
Utah, has about 100000 people, which is
$4,000 in excess of the requirement; the
other four fall considerably below it. Okla
homa has about 5000 people. Arizona not
quite 10000, Alaska probably something
less than $4,000, including half breeds. Ac-
cordiDg to the old rule these three Terrific
ries would have no claim to admission.
But the Fifty-frst Congress admitted Idaho
with 81, 600 people, and Wyoming, which
turns out, according to the census, to con-
tain only $4,000. 1t will devolye on the
Fifty-second Congress to decide which of
the two policies is the best.
Oklahoma and Arizona, like WyomingI4nd
Idaho, have interests of their own which
are entitled TO be heard before the passage of
legislation that will affect them. 1t is with
regard to the Senatorial representation that
the difficulty arises. AS matters stand,
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada,
with an aggregate population not much
larger than the city of San Francisco, elect
eight Senators, that is to say, as many as
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
and California combined.
When the bills for the admission of the
Territories were under discussion in the
last two Congresses, it was urged with con-
siderable force that the election of United
States Senators was the chief source of cor
ruption in the Legislatures of small and
new States. 1t was said that the lucky men
who won the prize generally either bought
1t outright or were the nominees of some
powerful corporation which dominated the
Legislature. Every one who has practical
experience in politics knows that this has
often been the case. But it may be a ques-
ton whether smallness in constituency is
always source of corruption, and vice
versa

HOW TO GET AT 1T.

The last Legislature appropriated the
sum of 100000 to enable California to
make showing at the Worlds Fair. Some
Of the best lawyers in the Legislature held
that the appropriation was Illegal There
Is now and then a legal mind SO logical in
its reasoning that in its opinion the con-
stitutionality of an appropriation does not
depend upon its popular or useful charac-
ter. Men who would like to see the State
handsomely represented at Chicago could
not argue themselves into the belief that
the appropriation was one the Constitution
authorizes. 1t appears to be Controller COL
gan's duty to solve this legal problem
That official may draw warrants for the
money or may decline to do so. II he
should choose the former course legal action
may be taken TO prevent the money from
being paid out under the warrant. In such
case the Controllers bondsmen would be-
come responsible for any loss that might be
incurred in the event of the decision Of the
courts that the appropriation is uDconstitu-
tonal. But if the Controller refuses to draw
warrant the California State Commission
ers may apply to the Supreme Court for a
mandamus requesting or commanding the
Controller to sign the warrant. Acting under
such an order from the court the Controller
would be secure whatever subsequent ac-
ton might be taken to test the constitu-
tlonaiity OF the original appropriation.

DENOUNCED THE LYMPH.

Aar

A Pittsburg Physicians Experience I'm
der Treatment.
Among the passengers on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Trave was DR.. l.. S.
Painter of Pittsburg. DIR. Painter was one
of the first Americans to be treated in Ber-
lin with Koeh's tuberculin. He was for
four months in hospital there and received
thirteen injections of the lymph, varying
from two milligrams to ten. In speaking of
his case to-day he denounced the lymph
roundly.
My experience was horrible" he said.
II am afraid they have killed me. They
have killed them off over there by hundreds,
but now the lymph treatment is used in
only two hospitals, and nearly all the
physicians of reputation and skill have dis
carded it."
DR.. Painter suffered from tuberculosis of
the vertebrB. He went to Berlin expecting
to study the lymph for two weeks and then
to return to this country with a supply OF it
Tor use in his own practice at PIttsburg. On
the way over his own trouble became SO
serious that he was induced to try the
lymph cure on himself, with this serious re-
suit. Every injection of the lymph was
followed immediately by high fever. The
people in the South who are troubled with
ehlls and fever" have. The chill was fol-
lowed by period of depression of spirits
lasting four or five days, which DR.. Painter
describes by saying: 1T seemed as If
something had gone wrong, and l felt
all the time as if something dreadful
was. going to happen" This continued
for four months until finally Dr. Won Berg
mann, In charge of the Kings clinic, where
DR.. Painter was being treated. became con-
WINGED that the lymph was failure. and
ceased to use it. For the last three months
DIR. Painter has been making an effort to re-
cover from the bad effects of his four
months life on lymph. He Is still very
weak. and lacks thirty-fve pounds of being
as heavy as when he left Pittsburg last
November.

that Professor Virchow. who has performed

established the fact that instead of working
as a cure the lymph will actually transfer
tuberculosis, and that an analysis of it will
disclose the presence of bacteria.-New York

confirms intelligence received at this office.
Our Eastern friends recognize California as
