What the People are Saying

Another financial statement from thu

by surprise this morning.

The contingent expense item is swelling
To gigantic proportions; 1t has reached
the sum of sl5l, 4S5.9s.
The next big item is the interest ac-
count; it grows with every days life of
the present Guy administration
TUtIe is still another report due I'M
der the old charter method; when that IS
out of the way the city auditor will show
the people how lear he can come to max

One feature of our city government
sticks out from every simple item of this
hydra-headed report-that is, eXtrava-
gance.
The lack of systematic business meth
DDS: of economy; OF intelligence, is
everywhere apparent.
The people have only a few weeks left
to consider the constitutional amend
mentS. On the 18th of August they must
vote.
The most important amendment is that
relating TO a reform in our election
methods.
With a proper registration law, the dis
graceful scenes that have occurred at our
city election polls can be largely pre-
vented.
Before The next general election, no
doubt, a decision will be reached as to
whether the Mexican Indian population
from Mexico, are eligible to naturaliza-
ton, under our laws.
There seems no doubt about the status
of the Mexican Indian-he is neither
Caucasian or African. and is clearly out
side the pale of naturalization, as much
so as a Chinaman.
A decision upon this question will revo-
lutionize the political character OF ouren-
tire border.
Take out the imported and tramp Mex
lean vote from Brownsville to Ell Paso,
and the entire character of the local as
well as national politics will be changed.
Now is the time to test this matter.

and it should be submitted as a legal
question, apart from its political conse-
quences in the future.

today run by officials who owe their places
to this voting population.
No more glaring fraud was ever perps-
trated upon American citizenship
than that disclosed in the records
of our county, of thousands
Of aliens who have taken out intention
papers but never attempted to complete
their citizenship.
1t is well that the matter has gone no
further. No court could make citizens of
these people as long as our naturalization
avs are unchanged.

ANOTHER
A Young Man Subject to Epilepsy
is Drowned While Fishing.


Edward Siebenmann, son of FL. Sieben-
mann, janitor of the Marshal street pub
lie school, was accidentally drowned in
the river ear Mission San Jose yesterday
evening between six and seven o'clock.
Deceased, aged about 20 years, had been
assisting his brother-in-law, Ulrich Roth
entluch, in putting up some small build
ingS on his chicken ranch near the mis-
sion on the river. During the day they
had INDUCED in fishing, setting their
lines out II looking to them occasional

work and both went to look at their lines.
down stream, while RotheDfiuch walked
up stream. The bank was a bluff, about
Is feet high. Hearing a splash, ROthen-
fluch ran toward the place and saw Sic
benmann sink into the water while
his fishing tackle tioated down stream.
Plunging in and diving, Rothentiuch en-
deayored to rescue his brother-in-law
but, though a good swimmer, he failed to
find him, and then ran down to a shallow
place hoping to intercept the body as it
loated down the swift stream, all to no
avail. His cries brought neighbors to
the scene and he set them to watching the
place while he came to the city and gave
the sad information and secured assist
ance to recover the body. Deceased had
been subject to epileptic fits since boy
hood and 1t is supposed he fell from the
bank into the river while suffering al
attack of his malady. He lived at No.
1876 North Flores street withohiS parents.
The search for the body is still contin-
ued, though not yet successful.

CHAT ABOUT THE STAGE.

THE Pitou Stock Company will give us two
new plays next week. at the Duquesne
Theater, namely ga Modern Match by
Clyde Fitch, the young man who battled
with Richard Mansfield for, the authorship of
"Beau Brummel," and "Geoffrey Middleton,
Gentleman by Martha Morton the author
of ''The Merchant which Pittsburg enjoyed
a few weeks ago. The company which Mr.
Pitou has gathered together is apparently
of remarkable strength, and is fairly COM
parable to that A. M. Palmer sent
here last season, in which were Messrs
Stoddard, Holland and some others of even
excellence. 1t is fact that the press in
other cities has praised Mr.. Pitou's players
and the plays in very warm terms, and the
best critic in New York, Mr.. Meltzar, de-
voted q page of the New York Herald to an
illustrated criticism of:."Geofrey Middleton

has been greatly admired here. The Hanlons

as to merits and longevity. All the scenic

NOW THE EXPLOSIONS.

Two explosions of powder or nitro gly-
cerine establishments are reported within
the past thirty-six hours. One was at
Cleveland day before yesterday, the other
near Youngstown yesterday morning. The
powder explosion seems to have been the
most destructive, probably because the
amount Of the explosive was the largest;
but both furnish emphatic intimations of
the necessity of constant watchfulness in
the handling of explosives.
Of course, everyone knows that the man.
ufacture of powder and the handling of
dynamite and nitro -glycerine are extra
hazardous matters. The conditions of
both require them to be surrounded by the
most painstaking precautions. The fact
that such dangerous occupations are sue
cesSfully prosecuted affords evidence that
as general rule these precautions are OBJ
served. But familiarity with danger often
breeds carelessness: and in that event such
disasters as those of yesterday and the day
before are almost inevitable.
OF course, the nature of these fatalities
makes it impossible that their cause and
details can ever be exactly known. But
the probabiliTyis that they were occasioned
by some act of carelessness or some hasty
omission of precaution that for the mo-
ment appeared unnecessary. The import
ance of constant vigilance in all the occu-
pations involving hazards cannot be too
strongly insisted upon, and is fearfully
emphasized by these casualties.

FIXING KEsPoSsIBILITy.

1t is reported from Washington that the
Comptroller of the Currency will in his
annual report present recommendation
that Congress amend the national bank
ing act so as to hold bank directors to a
stricter responsibility in the conduct of
those institutions.
That is bit of legislation which has
been indicated as necessary by several
recent events and by the ruling of the
Supreme Court in the Buffalo bank cases.
But that is not the only portion of the
national banking system which requires
that sort of form. At the same time that
Congress passes this legislation it should
take steps toward holding the Comptroller
of the Currency to strict responsibility.
The circumstances of the keystone
National Bank permit no milder inference
than that the work of supervision lodged
in the Comptroller's hands was negligently
and inefficiently administered. That is the
condition of affairs indicated by the Comp
troller's own statement Other Statements
arouse even graver suspicious, and the
most unfavorable indication of all is pre-
sented by the constant obstacles to thor
ough investigation which crop up at the
Treasury Department. Here is q first
class place for insisting upon official re-
sponsibility.
Congress should take steps for fixing re-
sponsibilities of national bank directors.
and also for placing upon the right shoul-
ders the responsibility for letting political
