foreign trade Some of our laws and regu-
lationS, such as our pilotage dues, our
wharfage dues, our charges for towage
and for water. appear 10 have been framed
as if the object of their authors had been
to keep away foreign shipping. Vessels
have come here almost under protest. But
these are things which will be cured in
time. Some of the follies Of the past are
yielding their natural fruit, and.people are
asking each other why the population and
foreign trade Of the port are not increasing
faster. This is step in the right direction.
Inquiry is the mother of reform. As a gen.
eral rule the organizations which are formed
from time to time to promote the progress
of the city and the State fail to accomplish
results from imperfect acquaintance with
the laws of trade and adherence to tradi-
tional errors. But it will not always be so.
Some day the wrongs which should be re-
dressed and the mistakes which should be
repaired will be revealed in the light of day,
and then San Francisco will begin to fulfill
its early promise.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AT THE FAIR.

The public schools of the several States
are invited to make an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. Such an exhibition will be
more interesting than any possible display
of agricultural or manufactured products.
a thoroughly good system of public schools
is the best possible product of mans in
genuity. OF course it is expected that the
old States will make a better showing than
the newly settled ones. New England is
the home of the system, and is supposed to
have carried it to the highest degree of per-
lection 1t would be interesting to know
what kind of a standard will be adopted.
Will the school be declared the best which
promises the widest range of studies? or
will one that shows the best results in the
common branches of study? Win the
choice of study be one that may be fairly
completed in the six or eight years the
average child attends school? or will ii be
presumed that the average attendance is
ten or twelve years? The school age in
most of the States includes twelve years,
but hardly a child in ten gets ten years
schooling. The New York Sun complains
that the schools in that State are given over
to the higher grades of studies There is
room aud to spare in the hlgher-gTade
schools, but the primaries are crowded. In
fact, there are this year 10000 newcomers
who cannot be accommodated
More than 100000 is expended on the
school system annually, and yet it falls to ac-
complish its purpose. Where does the money
GO? The major part Of 1t goes for the support OF
colleges for u few boys and girls and for gram
mar schools to fiji them for the advanced course.
Room is lacking for the others becsus' SO much
room at so great an expense has TO be provided
for these. There is room enough for the
boys and girls who want TO study Latin and
Greek. algebra and geometry, but thousands OF
the children who want 10 learn TO read and write
are shut out because the accommodations are
not enough. The essential IS neglected In order
that the luxurious may be provided.
If the Worlds Fair is to make show of
schools in which Latin, Greek. algebra and
geometry are taught more harm than good
will result from it. 1t is not desirable to
bend the young mind in that direction.
The best public school is one that in a six
or eight years course turns out the most
thoroughly taught pupils in the common
branches of study. Take class of fifty,
and the one which presented the largest
number who could read, write. spell, cipher
with such proficiency that errors in matter
or style would not be noticeable should
carry off the prize.
The morning call., 1891-09-26

The public are deeply interested in the
efforts which are being made to reach those
persons in this city and State who have at
tempted to corrupt not only the body polite,
but even the fountains of justice. There is
no doubt whatever that some of the members
of the last Legislature sold their votes, and
the general belief is that this species of rascal
ity has been going on for several years past.
In this city affairs have not been much oct
ter, if we except the present Board of Super
visors, who have not, so far a. we can judge,
made many mistakes. The public are not
at this time however so much Interested in
what is being done by municipal officials,
but they are looking to our courts to see
what will be the outcome in the attempts
which are being made to reach some of
those persons who are believed to be guilty
of the purchase and sale of legislative votes.
The difficulties in the way of obtaining
proper jurors, in the opinion of The CALL,
lave been but slght when compared with the
short comings of some of our courts. Grand
juries for some time past have been mostly
composed Of good citizens; men who have
acted in good faith in trying to ferret out
crime and having it punished. There have
been, it is true, upon some of those jurles
men who ought not to have been there;
men who were placed there through the
management of individuals who have con-
trolled our politics, Indictments have been
found generally against all classes Of crimi-
mails, perhaps with the exception Of few
cases where the parties were under the pro-
lection of powerful interests. Jurors
have not always been able TO indict such
persons, but otherwise they have done their
duty How has it been with our courts?
THE CALL believes some of the courts nave
perverted Justice. TIE CALL says some of
our courts, for it does not believe that they
are all of this character, or even majority
of them. 1t has watched trials. however,
where a great ado was made about the ne
cessity Of Furnishing crime, but crime has
not always been punished. a trivial techni-
cality, o. the trick of an attorney, has been
permitted to defeat the ends OF justice.
Courts were established to protect the pub
lie, but at times it has seemed to us as If the
courts in San Francisco were established to
convict the weak, to punish those persons
who had no money, but not to convict and
punish the influential and wealthy. The
CALL is told that it ought not to expect
full and fair administration Of justice while
knaves control nominating conventions.
This is perhaps true, for kIaves in con-
vention do not favor the election of men to
Office who will enforce the law rigidly
against them. An effort is now made to
break down the present Grand Jury; to
render useless its efforts to clear the atmOs-
phere of fraud and corruption. The CALL
realizes the objects, and it asks our citizens
to watch present proceedings with the closest
attention, as upon them will depend what
should be their action in the future.

ON WHICH sIDEq

Some months ago when jury, under
peculiar construction Of law by a Superior
Court Judge, declared that THE MORNING
CALL could not recover any part of large
sum Of money stolen from it the friends Of
the released purloiner of funds formed
kind of triumphal procession and attended
him through the streets. He was the hero
of the hour. He had stolen large sum and
escaped punishment. The instruction of
the Judge. that as two persons were charged
with theft 1t was incumbent on the prosecu-
ton to show exactly what each had stolen
and the exact date OF the theft, was equiva-
lent to an order to the jury to acquit This
incident is recalled by the ovation rendered
the person who declined to obey a subpoena
of the Grand Jury. The friends of that
person rallied round him in force. One
would have supposed that he was an inno-
cent party whom the minions of the law
were bent upon prosecuting His supporters
were not apparently of the criminal class.
They were not men whose faces were famil-
lar in police courts. Those who are best
known are oftener seen in political conven-
tons than in jails or houses of correction.
In fact, they consider themselves respect
able. They even claim to be good citizens.
1t is not well for the State that law-breakers
should command such apparently respect
able support. 1t implies that stealing in
this State is considered no crime. 1t is
pretty rough on justice when court i'm
parts instructions which make conviction
impossible, but court after all is but one
man. This one man may be ignorant or cor
rupt. The fact of holding judicial position
has ceased 10 prove anything except a gen.
eral good understanding with the political
bosses. But it is worse when large num-
Der of apparently respectable citizens openly
rejoice in the defeat of justice. The one
case tends to show that the people have
made mistake in the choice of officials, the
other that a considerable portion of the
people raise their heads in triumph when
justice miscarries. There is no doubt, in
our opinion, that a vast majority OF our
people desire to have crime punished. But
they are slow to exercise the popular opin-
ion which cOmpels courts to do their duty.

SANITARY MEASURES.

Alpers' Dead Animal Crematory Must Be
Conducted on Better Lines.
The Health and Police Committee of the
Board Of Supervisors gave instructions yes
terday to Charles Alpers, proprietor of the
dead animal crematory in South San Fran
cisco, that hereafter he must use covers on
the vehicles in which he haulS dead animals
through the streets. He was also instructed
to abate the nuisance caused by the dread
fully foul stencil that arises from his estab-
lishment.
The request made by the Board of Health
that the Superintendent of Streets be in
structed to flush the sewers wherever Or
dered by that body was acted upon favor
ably.

THAT " COTTON INVOICE.


1t Is Causing No Little Trouble in the
Customs Service.
The Custom house is still beehive of
searching inquiry on account of the seizure
of nine cases Of wooden goods unsigned to
Neuberger, ReiSs & Co., but invoiced with
eight others as cotton and jute. There has
been evidently collision with some one in
tie customs service. Who this is Collector
Phelps and Special Agent Evans are in
Yestigating.
Deputy Collector D. NJ. Cashin marked
the boxes to be set aside and taken to the
Appraisers store for appraisement The
collision, which many assert Is self-evident,
is traceable either to him or to the Inspector
who directed the goods 10 the Appraisers
store. Surveyor Kilburn is confident that no
Inspector has had hand in the fraud, and
there may not have been, as mere accident
might insure the selection of four cases in
seventeen when there were eight properly
lnvocrd cases.
Deputy Cashin has an untarnished repu-
tation for prObity and all are 10th to believe
he could have done it.
The morning call., 1891-09-26

The minority, who sympathize with crimi-
mails, are alert and aggressive. They stand
by the one of their friends who happens TO
be in trouble. They know that in a cert ain
sense rogues form chaingane; convict one
and another follows by force of the bond
between them. Whatever money and legal
sophistry can do to rescue Richard Chute
from the clutches of the Grand Jury will be
done. Evidence that will convict him will
crimInate the whole gang of boodlers, of
whom he seems TO be an agent The public
would like to see the Senatorial contest Of
last winter fearlessly Investigated. That
there was money used in the contest is gen.
orally believed. Who furnished it, who re-
ceived it and who dsbursed ii are among the
things the Grand Jury is charged t. find out.

John jacobson, a carpenter living on
freedom street, considers himself very
lucky man. He has had several falls from
buildings, and always escaped serious in
jury. While working on a new warehouse
on Hilbert street near Battery yesterday he
fell from the third story to the basement.
HIS fall was broken by striking projecting
boards, and at the Receiving Hospital it
was found that he had only received three
slight cuts on the head.
