SENATOR HEARST.

The prolonged struggle Of Senator Hearst
for life has come TO an end. Nothing in his
eventful life is more characteristic of the
man than his cheerful contemplation of its
close. For some weeks he has been under
the physicians sentence of death, but the
fact has not apparently disturbed him in the
least. He is reported to have eonVersed
cheerfully with his friends, to have eX-
pressed doubts if the physicians sentence
would be carried out within the limits Of the
time allowed him. and in other ways to have
conveyed the impression that while he would

SHERMAN TO wIMAN.

In support of his assertion that a ma iority

| Wiman publishes a letter from Senator
Sherman which substantially indorses COM
| pete reciprocity, including articles of manu-
| facture as we'll as agriculture and mines.
| Senator Sherman is state sman of so much
experience and is so firm a friend of the pro-
tectiye policy that his Endorsement of reci-
procity will have considerable weight He
| is so thoroughly versed in the details of
| Government that he must have considered
the obstacles that lie in the way'of uure-
stricted reciprocity. It should be borne in
| mind that there is a difference between COM
mercial union and a reciprocal exchange of
the products of the two countries. Com
| mercial union abolishes custom houses on
both sides of the line, and, consequently,
| permits the imports Of one country to pass
untaxed into the other country. Reciprocity,
as applied to the products of the two coun-
| tries, would include only articles grown or
manufactured at home. The custom-house
would stand against goods imported into
either country.
But there are many and grave obstacles
in the way. of unrestricted reciprocity.

consideration. He is not an emotional
statesman who may be. carried off his feet
by little defamation on the beauties of

Neither is he a man to come to a conclusion
without taking an a!i-round view of the

public will wait, therefore, with some in

him to favor reciprocity.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The expected bulletin of Superintendent Por
ter on the subject Of mortgages is likely to be
perused and discussed with good deal OF inter
est. He declares that the employment of
small army of special agents to make abstracts
of every mortgage placed on record in every
county OF the United States for The last years
has attracted attention 10 some of lhe dangers of
these membranes. 10 the enormous burdens in
which usury is practieed, and TO The defective
ness OF these records in all parts OF the country.
The agents OF the Census Office have overlaued
tie records in every State and Territory. They
have Travelled on horseback and on foot through
the most sparsely settled districts of our vast
domain IN search OF mortgages and have done
their work so thoroughly and so industrionsly
that there are now on file In Washington as the
result of their labor the abstracts of about
100000 mortgages. The statement about the
alarming extent OF usury IS borne out by the
announcement that In Alabama the Interest
ranges as high as 40 per cent

Frederick to Paris, says that public opinion has

PIECE CLUES.

The Chronicle says in effect that the ballot
reform bill will legalze 'piece clubs" II
has used this argument SO often that it is
probably beginning to think that there is
something in it. The ballot reform bill
opens the way for nominations without the
Intervention of a convention. But each
nomination so made stands on its own
merits. They cannot be grouped together
under a specific name or title. For example,
if the municipal convention of either party
nominate a VIGOROUSLY unit man for Super
visor number of citizens may, by petition,
place on the ticket another name. The list
Of names that may be so added is not limited
be the terms IF the act, but the fact. that the
multiplication If candidates would tend to de-
feat the object of the Independent nominal:
ton would operate TO impose a practical
limit. But no one of these Independent
nominees, if there were one or a dozen, would
constitute part Of a separate ticket. There
would be no combination that would give a
person so nominated anything to sell. The
piece club" IS essentially a com binati0n.
Its selling value lies in the assumption
that through the power Of c0I1bina-
ton 1t controls 4 certain number Of
votes. Tie principal object is to sell
places on Us ticket to candidates on one Of
the regular tickets. If neither party will
bid .foIrA place it puts up candidate of its
-5wn. 1t puts on and takes off names as
may seem best to its manipIlators. No one
of the candidates on "piece club ticket
only stands a show of an election. The
managers generally claim that they can
control Two or three thousand votes. Can
didates on the regular ticket buy places on
the " piece CLUB" ticket with the eXpecta-
ton of getting perhaps, a couple of hun
dred votes that they would not otherwise
get. The money value Of piece club "
nomination lies in the fact that in n close
vote two or three hundred votes may deter
mine an election. All the conditions of a
"piece club" are entirely wanting in an
Independent nomination on an official ticket.
The man SO nominated has nothing to sell.
There is no combination behind him. He
is at liberty to withdraw. but the men who
nominated him viii find another man for
the place. The piece club" scare will
not frighten anybody that is not looking for
something to be frightened at.

TIE MISSION OF THE EMPRESS.

The story Of the visit of the Dowager En-
press Frederick to Paris is one of which no
Frenchman can feel proud. She went there
in the interest of art to try to persuade the
French artists to contribute to the eXposi-
tinn which is to be held at Berlin. Not only
did she fail, but she was treated with scant
civility by the Paris press, and probably
owed her immunity from open insult to the
vigilance of the police. She actually had to
leave Paris surreptitiously. and the Project
of Police escorted her to the train with 500
gendarmes. Coupled with the outrageous
insults which were offered a few years ago
TO the King of Spain, who had done nothing
to provoke them, the incident will debar
Frenchmen from hereafter claiming to be
the politest people in Europe.
The mission of the Empress should have
appealed to the good feeling of every
Frenchman. Art is of no country. 1t was
a Frenchman, Lamartne, who said that in
telligence knew no national boundaries, and
that every man who could reason was his fell
low-citizen. So with art; every one on whom
nature has bestowed the divine gift belongs
to a nationality which rises above frontiers
and is pent up by no lines of custom houses.
A true dover ofoart does not ask where the
author Of the works which delight him
was born. If they reveal genius that is
. enough to naturalize their creator every
where. The French themselves have been
conspicuous for naturalizing foreigners who
showed that they were masters in any spe-
cial branch Of art. Meyerbeer and 0ffen-
bach were born Germans, Rossini was born
an Italian; but all three lived and died Par
isians. racy of the boulevards.
In refusing to accede to the request of the
Empress the Paris artists and the newspa-
pers which egged them on eVineed short
sighted provincialism. They ought to have
rejoiced at having an opportunity of exhibit
ing their masterpieces at the German capt.
tai The more widely true taste for art is
spread The higher will it rise. 1t would
have been advantageous 10 the Frenchmen
in every way to have shown their German
brothers how much grander French art is
than German art; and though at the present
time French painters seem to have little to
learn from foreigners, yet still the successes
OF Munkaczy and Vereschagn should ad-
monish them that it may not always be so.
There was time when the Dusseldorf
school promised much.

vetoed, but he announced that he would not
sign the Infamous measure known as the
Contractors Bill, and consequently it was
not passed. Present indications are that
Governor Markham will have an oppor-
tunity to consider this bill, for it seems in
fair way Of passage. There does not seem any
considerable staying power in either House
when bill of this nature comes up for con-
sideration. The separate bills which go to
make up what is known as the contractors

ery-avenue Bill "cinches San Francisco

from the amount Of money that is available
to secure its passage. 1t is not necessary to
go into the history of these bills. Whatever
merit there may be in these claims against
certain pieces of property, there is none IN
these claims against the city at large. There
probably is not a member of the San Fran
cisco delegation who does not know thal

the San Francisco delegation has notori-
ously failed to do its duty. The taxpayers
turn hopefully to the Governor. While there
is no reasonable doubt of the course the
Governor will take, it is disgrace to the
city that its sp0liation should be prevented
only by the act of State officer.
