A PROPHET OF EVIL.

Since Mr.. Mills of Texas took part 10 the
Ohio campaign the Republican prospects
have frightened. Senator Sherman now
says that Mckinley is as good as elected.
When Mr.. Mills appeared on the stump he
declared that the silver issue must be
dropped and the tariff made the issue OF the
campaign. He then began to tell what ter
rible times people were experiencing in con-
sequence of the enactment Of the Mckinley
tariff. He frequently referred to = the cloud
that is now darkening the land without
the slightest apparent consciousness that
the prospects of tie people he was address
ing were brighter than ever before. No one
claims that the Mckinley tariff had anything
to do with the 1ountiful crops of the present
year. but the fact cannot be disputed that
large crops at advanced prices make good
times. The fact is the prophet of evil is not
popular In this country. He may produce
some effect in exceptionally bad seasons, but
he is only laughed at in fairly good ones.
Mr.. Mills told the people Of Ohio that their
industries were paralyzed by the Mckinley
tariff. The query was naturally put. what
industry is paralyzed? Is it the production
Of grain with the largest crop and the high
est price known for years? Is 1t manufac-
lures with such leading branches as iron,
wool and cotton turning out more goods than
at any other year in our industry? Mr.. Mills
also ENDS that consumption is restricted. As
a fact, standing by itself, this is true. Con-
sumption is always restricted TO the ability
of the people to purchase. But. relatively,
this assertion Is ridiculous. Consumption
Keeps pace with production. The more a
people earn the more they can buy. When
The natural products of the earth are more
than ordinarily bountifulthe masses embrace
the opportunity to provide themselves luxu-
ries. Not one person in a thousand resists
The tendency to increase expenditure some
what in proportion to an increase in income.

THE PosroFFICE SITE.

The Washington authorities have at last
agreed upon a site Tor the San Francisco
Postoffice. The site finally settled upon is
not one of the number which have been
prominently mentioned. 1t is on Mission
and Seventh streets. The sum agreed upon
is 81. 10000, which will be admitted to be
a pretty large sum for 275-foOt front on
Mission street. But at this price there will
be something left of the appropriation to
commence the building with, if the terms of
the law making the appropriation will per-
NIT If such use OF the balance.
This is a beginning. but it is far from the
end. Unless the proposed building makes
history different from that of most public
buildings parts of it will be old while other
parts are incomplete. Philadelphia is about
TO have a new Mint, the site OF which IN
cludes an entire block between Sixth and
Seventh, SAMSON and Walnut streets. The
exact dimensions are not given, but block
cannot he much leSs than our Postofice site.
The price Of the Mint location is appraised
at S5S0, 800 though the actual value is esti-
mated at about S6JO.000. As the Philadel-
phia site is in quite as good location 10
cally as Cur new site it would appear that
the value OF real estate in This city, even of
Market street, is nearly twice as great as
the value Of real estate in Philadelphia.

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS.
Closing Session of the Central
Baptist Association.

The closing session of the Central Baptist
Association was attended by large audi
ence, attracted by the main topic of dis
cusson ON the programme for that day:

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Democrats have been quite confident that
they would carry New York this fall. Their
leading journals have spoken of the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor as sacrifice.
They have not admitted that he had a fight
ing chance of an election. Mr.. Flower, the
Democratic candidate. is rich. liberal and
politically ambitious. What money will do
to accomplish an election will be done But
since the two tickets have been presented to
the public Republican poets have bright
ened. Flower has only won distinction on
Wall street, and it is not kind Of distinc-
ton that helps him in the rural districts.
Democratic farmers do not enthuse much
over Wall-street operator, be lie ever so
lavish with his money. Another element of
discomfort is the cavalier treatment the
County Democracy received at the hands of
Tamnany at the State convention. Tam
many was so confident of success that it dis
regarded the precedent of allowing the
County Democracy representation in the
convention. But this time tile County
% Democracy was denied any representation
at all. The excluded organization has since
met and declared that the Democratic party
in the State is absolutely dominated and
controlled by a combination between Tam
many Hall and canal ring. The New
York Times, which for a time carried Tam
niaDy's scalp at its belt, now trains in the
Tammany ranks, and APOLOGIES Tor the
action Of the State copy5ntion in excluding
tie County Democracy by urging the fact
that the County Democrats joined hands
with the Republicans last year in an effort
TO defeat Tammany in the city. This GER
tainly places the County Democracy in an
unfaVorable position in Democratic State
convention controlled by Tammany, but if
the convention was not controlled by Tam
many, as the Times asserts, independent
action in a municipal election would not
forfeit its right TO representation in State
affairs. II should be remembered that the
Tammany Hall organization and the Demo-
cratic State organization are not identical.
The Tammany Hall organization may con-
troll the State organization and it may not.
The fact that the County Democrats were
denied representation this year Is conclusive
that Tammany directed its movements.

W. E. BURT'S ESTATE.
His Endorsement of a Note
Charged to Be a Forgery.

Charles and Emma Jones, executors of
the estate of Warren Emory Burt, filed their
report yesterday, in which they charge that
Burt's Endorsement OF a promissory note
which was presented to them for payment is
forgery.
Burt died in this city on July 15 1889,
leaving an estate valued at about $50 600.
His will was filed on the Goth of the same
month, and on December II, 1899, one E. a.
McDuffie of Los Angeles, so say the execu-
tors. presented a note for 5000 bearing
what purpUrted to be Burt's Endorsement.
The note was signed by J. d. Rodgers who
claimed that Burt had Endorsed 1t Of his own
volitlon and then delivered 1t to McDuftie.
When the executors received the note they
knew that Burt had not indorse(eit at Los
Angeles, as was claimed, for the reason that
he was not there at the time and that he
never signed his name in full To test tie
genuineness of the Endorsement the eXeeu-
tors employed an expert to make
Photographic copies OF Burts yarl Gus
signatures, and he reported to them that
the name Warren Emory Burt on the note is
a forgery. Further proof Of the fraudulent
character of the note was alleged to have
been found in Los Angeles, San Diego and
San Bernardino.
The executors allege that there was col
Iusive agreement between McDuftie and
Rodgers to harass them by bringing suits in
places remote from their residence, and
since the charge of fraud was made they
claim that Rodgers has not answered, and
proof has been obtained at Fresno that the
statement that Rodgers and MeDufie went
there on June 90, 1889. was false. a letter
written by Burt at Hughes Hotel.
Fresno, on May 81. 1859, has been found,
in which he stated that he would leave the
next day, and the hotel register shows that
he did So There is no record to show that
Rodgers was with him.
McDuffie and his wife, according to the
executors, have both declared that they
were not here on the date of the note, yet
during the hearing of petition for probate
in Judge Coffey's department they testified
teat they were here at the time. The
executors find that the only time that Burt
wrote his name in full was when he signed
his hill

A CABLE SURVEY.

The AlbatrCss, which has been coaling at
bard-street Wharf, Will sail to-day for
tie Bay Of Monterey to survey the proposed
laudiuE-piace for submarine cable from the
Hawaiian Islands. Itappears that it wou ID
be dfdcUlt 10 land a cable in the Bay Of San
Francisco Between the Golden Gate and
the Farall0Ues, the bottom is badly broken,
and interspersed with jagged rocks like the
FaralIOues themselves. The increase Of
depth as the shore is left behind is
sudden and excessive. at a distance of
some fifty miles west Of the bar sound
i9Es show adepth of over two thousand
!atl0m>. Crossing so PERCEPTIONS an incline
tie shore end Of 4 cable would be almost GER
tain 10 chafe on sharp rock edges, and would
probably part frequently. Therefore it has
been decided TO lock elsewhere for
landing-place. and it is believed that the de-
sir-d locality has been found in the Bay of
Monterey.
Into that bay, about midway between
Santa Cruz and Monterey, the Salinas River
emptes. In former times, when it was
larger stream than it is now, it secured out
for Itself & deep channel for quite distance
in the ocean, and that channel remains to
this day a smooth bed of mud extends
from the shore to a point at sea where the
sOUndings show one thousand fathOms of
water. Such a channel is an ideal landing
place for q cable; the shore end would sink
into the mud at a spot where vessels rarely
anchor, and the other end would travel on
an easy slope toward the great depths of the
eastern edge Of the Pacific until the point Of
junction with the sea line was reached. The
AIbatToss IS now going to verify former
sOunangs taken by Commander Tanner, so
rs to make sure that no obstacle exists TO the
laying of 4 cable in the channel indicated.
When she has completed that job she will
proceed to survey the 0cean-bed TO Hawaii
The public will understand that. nOtwith-
standing these works Of preparation, there
is no more prospect Of cable communication
Y it'll the islands than there was last year or
the year before. A submarine cable to
Honolulu could not be expected to be self
supporting. There is not business enough
between this port and the Islands for that.
Il would have to be laid. if at all, at public
expense, and maintained as an adjunct to
the defenses Of this Coast. An application
to Congress to guarantee the interest on its
cost was made last winter. and was rejected.
There was no disposition TO eXpend the pub
lie money in that direction, and the utmost
which could be got from Congress was a
small appropriation for a survey.

SENT HIM THE LOCK.
A Jealous Wife's Unique Gift to He
Husband.

a jealous w OHIIut W ACt
Husband.
The reason why Or. Herman F. MALACHI
and his wife live apart were told in Judge
CARRIERS courtroom. She has brought an
action for maintenance against him, and he
claims that she deserted him. She is dark
eyed and dark-complexioned, and married
the doctor in 1879. Just ten years later they
were separated.
1t appeared from Mrs. Malach's testimony
that her husband has been paying her house
hold expenses for two years, but that of late
he has become negieetful She would rather
compel him to pay her a stated sum every
month than have a divorce. She told the
court that the physician bad been too atten-
tive to another woman, whose name she did
not know, and admitted that she was jeal-
Gus. When asked for a description of the
unknown. Mrs. MALACHI described her as a
"short, dOwdy woman" She said she had
talked to her husband about the woman, but
finally gave it up.
What did you do then?" asked the at
torney.
Il took the lock off the door of the house
where l was stopping and sent 1t to him"
"What did you do that for?"
ITO let him know that there was another
lock on the door,"
Mrs. MALACHI said she knew her husband
had received this gentle hint, because she
sent one of the children to him to find out.
The case then went over to next week.

MANY PEOPLE IN LITTLE SPACE.
Nearly Five Thousand Souls Collected in
Three Chicago Buildings.

Nearly Five Thousand Souls Collected in
Three Chicago Buildings.
How many people do you suppose live in
the Rookery Building? asks the Chicago
Herald. Well about 800 There is a ten
story building covering just one-qnarter of
the block from Adams to Jackson and from
La Sale to CLARK, with an immense court
in the center that furnishes light and air to
every apartment, from t1rret TO foundation
stone" 1t is occupied by almost every kind
of work that can be conducted in an office,
from banks to promoters OF electrical ap-
planes.
There are about thousand tenants in the
building, and while some of them have no
assistants others have clerks by the dozen.
Two mail-carTierS are required for the
Rookery Building night and day. although
the mail is collected by the tubes which
convey letters from the upper story to the
ground floor in an instant There are ten
elevators in the building, and in the morn
Ing and evening hours the place is one of
the busiest in the city. Three thousand
people is the population of a go0d-sized
country town. Yet here that number are
gathered together on a ground space of
few hundred feet.
The insurance Exchange Building, across
the street, has something ike 800 people
within its walls. They are about evenly
divided between commission men, insurance
agents, hICHilSGlS anu Idh ltISs vi COURSE
lawyers who occupy quarters in this and
neighbOTing buildings are of the class who
do very little in the way of court prac-
tice. You seldom see them before jury.
Their briefs are ON file in the Supreme
Courts OF this and other States. and even of
the nation, bnt they do very little in the way
of getting men out of trouble. 1t is
lawyers better work to keep his client from
getting in trouble than TO help him out
after he has fallen in. But these are the
lawyers with good incomes. They do not
have to depend upon occasional or acct
dental clients. They are, as rule, re-
tanned by the year at good salary by big
concerns, and have the least of labor for
the best of returns.
On the third corner of the crossing is the
Home Insurance Building with about 1000
persons as inmates from the opening to the
closing hours of business. The biggest
tenant is the Masonic Aid Association,
which occupies almost all of the tenth floor
In point of wealth p. d. Armour is prob
ably the most notable tenant, while the
Union National Bank is a near and most re-
spectacle neghbor. The eleven floors are
sought after more by insurance men and
lawyers than by aEy other one or two
classes, and so strong has the demand been
for quarters that two additional stories
were added to the structure within the past
year. This building was erected in 1885,
aud is a visible proof of the confidence
Eastern capitalists have in Chicago invest
ments.
On these three corners. with only stones
throw between the outside limits. there are
1900 people busy as bees every day.

DISMISSED BY DEATH.
End of Unfortunate Charge Against j.
NJ, LeDhart,

NJ. LeDhart.
The name of j. NJ. Lenhart was called
three times yesterday morning in Depart
n ent Of the Police Court. Lenhart was
arrested in September on charge of secur-
ing $3.50 from A. D. Carvill on note trans
action. His friends claimed that he should
have been proceeded against by civil
action. He was examined on the charge
and Judge Joachimsen had set yesterday
morning as the time for rendering decision.
"Your Honor" said Prosecuting Attor-
ney Stevens. ''the accused is not in the land
of the living. He died last night at his
home, surrounded by his family"
Well" said the Judge, that ends ali.
In his lifetime Lenhart was well known to
me as an honorable citizen. Mr. Clerk,
strike the case from the calendar"
Lenhart was aged 30 years, lived at 1924
Howard street and was well-known citi-
zen. The charge was great blow to him
and he was compelled to take morphine to
induce sleep. 1t is supposed that the use of
the drug FASTENED his death. DR.. Newell
signed a certificate stating that death was
induced by morphine poisoning.
