METAL ROOFING.

In early times many of the roofs of build
ings in San Francisco were covered with
tin, which was TO a considerable extent a
protection against fires. The practice con-
Times with most costly buildings and in
some instances copper is used. II is notice
able, however, of late, that numbers of costly
structures are covered with wooden shingles
OF course the risks from fires are much
greater where wood is used. In the Eastern
States slate is used, and in Canada II is
noticed that even cheap houses are covered
with iron shingles. There should surely be
some means devised by which metal roofing
can be secured costing but little more than
wood hence it is hoped the present agita-
ton before the Board of Supervisors will
result in benefit for the city.

CUBA.


The New York Sla says: 1.-THE acquisi-
ton of Cuba by peaceful means should be a
Cardinal point of Democratic doctrine" The
acquisition of Cuba by peaceful means
should be cardinal point of American
doctrine. 1t may be said of the United
States that it has never made an acquisition
of territory that did not prove to be wise,
nor lose q chance to acquire territory that it
did not regret When Thomas jefferson
was President his eye took in the whole
continent frcm the mouth of the Mississippi
to the mouth Of the Columbia River. The
sum paid for Louisiana at the time seemed
large, but it has been growing smaller in
seeming from that day to this. Now, who
is there who would take a hundred times
S15, coo for the territory which makes the
Mississippi entirely American. After JEFF
ferson retired from the Presidency he wrote
to his successor: The addition of the
island of Cuba to our cOnfederacy is exactly
what is wanted TO round ont our power as
nation to the point of its utmost interest"
But the acquisition of Cuba is too big a
question to be made party capital of.

THE Calls CALENDAR.
SIS PER HEAD.

Grouping = number of American cities
into one class it is found that the cost of
government varies from SOB to S26 per
head. THIS sun includes interest on their
several municipal debts. The larger the
debt the more for interest, and consequently
the less for current expenses. The cost of
city government in Paris is in round num-
bers So for each individual. But out Of the
amount about $4,000, 600 has to be deducted
Tor interest Including street expenses in
one form and another, the people of San
Francisco pay little more than SIS each a
year for local government. There is next
10 nothing to take from this amount on ac-
count Of interest. II would appear, there
fore, that the cost of government per head
in san Francisco is greater than in larger
or smaller American cities and as great as
the cost of government in Paris after de-
Quoting S2l,O00O00 from yearly revenues on
accom-. Of the municipal debt It would
seem that this liberal expenditure ought to
serve to protect US from charges of par
smony. a city which has habitually met
its current expenses with taxes, thus evad-
ing the burden Of a public debt. and still
raises as much money per head as cities
which have to devote e-third of their rev.
enue 10 interest, should be given whatever
credit attaches TO generous provision for
public institutions.
Il Is apparent now that there will be de-
fell in this years revenues of not far from
$4,000 OF course most of our contem-
poraries will attribute this deficit to the
dollar limit Taxpayers will be scolded
for demanding a tax-limit plank in each and
all Of our municipal platforms. The real
cause OF the deficit is the disposition of Off
cials to draw as much money from the City
Treasury as possible and do as little labor
as may be. \ fair example Of this disposi-
ton is found in the District and CITY Attor-
neys' offices. There is an increase of force
this year which calls for S95O0. yet we dis
tinctly remember hearing of several petit
tons before the board representing the
urgent need of special counsel There
seems to be an idea on the part OF these
officials that if they waste the money in
trusted to them the Taxpayers will DE COM
PEELED to hand over more cash. In this idea
they are encouraged by two or three news
papers whose existence depends upon gra-
tailies thrown out by these extravagant off,

PULPIT PREDICTIONS.

A New Haven clergyman has got his
name in the papers by predicting that the
next President of the United States will be
a Democrat His prediction, he says, is
founded on revelations of the past What
these revelations are he does not disclose.
The right OF a clergyman to make political
predictions will not be questioned, but the
propriety of his exercising that right in the
pulpit is another matter. 10 q great many
people words coming from the pulpit carry
a weight the same words would not carry if
spoken elsewhere. The pastor is supposed
TO spend a considerable portion of his time
studying the good hook, and when he an
nOunces an opinion from the pulpit it is as
sumed to be the outcome of such study,
But if a clergyman sees fit to take the stump
and make political predictions their value
will be estimated by his knowledge of the
subject.

COST OF TITLES.

Bismarck is reported to have thought the
title of Duke dear at $4,000. A title at any
price would be dear which obseured the
name by which he has become known to the
civilized world. Titles are, in fact, of value
only to nobodies who have no maine TO lose.
Such men as Bismarck. Gladstone, or Lin
coin and Webster in this country. would be
dwarfed by any other title than that be-
slowed upon all citizens. The admitted
fact that titles are for sale tends to depre-
efate their social value. a title conferred
for distinguished services or inherited from
a long line Of ancestors is respectable IL
not ennobing. but title that can be pur-
chased for $500. or any other sum- Is hardiy
worth carrying around.

PROPOSITIONS.

An evening newspaper contemporary sug-
gests that all foreign-born residents in the
United 5 ates who do not become natural
lied citizens should be sent home. This
would be right when applied to certain
races. for instance to tie Chinese and
japanese. but such proposition when ap-
piled to Europeans would not prove advan-
tageous to this country. No person would,
however, object to restricting the sale of
lands and city property to persons residing
permanently in foreign countries. 1t is Il
noticeable circumstance of late, however,
that large tracts of land are being pur-
chased in the United States by Europeans.

adopted in those countries.

THE TROUBLE.

An evening newspaper thinks the city
does not own enough fire-engines and lays
the blame 10 lack of funds for their pur-
chase. This is q flimsy assertion. The city
has money in abundance if it were properly
disposed OF, but tine harpeS in every quar-
ter help gobble it up. If our newspapers
would all condemn the stealing which has
been going on and would advocate the
proper use of money there would be no

EDITORIAL NOTES.

At the last session the Senate's Naval Commit
tee was authorized to sit during the interregnum
between the Fifty-hrst and Fiity-second Con-
crosses for the purpose OF considering estimates
and other matters relating TO the reconstruction
Of the navy. As Senator Cameron has called
meeting Tor August 1st, IL is the impression that
tie committee viii take advantage OF the oppor-
unity to witness The maneuvers OF the naval
squadron of the Atlantic Coast. Senator Butler
sums up the situation thus: Certainly more
can be learned by going aboard vessel and wit
Messing lis eyolutioDs on the water than can be
explained in committee-room al the Capitol,
no matter how many plans and specifications
accompany the explanation. Our committee
will have a great deal OF work 10 do during the
session of Congress, and we cannot be too well
posted on naval affairs"
