THE CANAL. PROBLEM.

Senator Stewart is less polite than Sena-
tor Stanford. TIE latter admits that the
Nicaragua Canal will be good thing fer the
Pacific Coast, but on this point his Nevada
associate differs from him. The public will
conclude, probably, that their difference is
not iTTeeOncilable. Stewart will contin ne
to be Stanford's man of all work in the fu-
ture as he has been in the past. No Sc
rfous consequence need be attached to po-
litical blunder on Mr.. Stewards part In
the Senate and before the public he IS
classed among the men who never will be
missed" Mr.. Stewart urges, as an objection
to the bill now before the public providing
for the Endorsement by the United States
Government of Nicaragua Canal bonds
amounting to $4,000 900, that the con-
structiOn company may find it TO their IN
terest to make the canal cost $500, 100000
or S4Oo 000, 900. At the first glance one Is
inclined to accept Mr.. Stewart as authority
in proposition of this nature. He knows.
perhaps better than any other Senator ex-
eept Stanford, the methods by which the
constructors of similar public work make
money out of the Government If he I'M
derstands anything at all. he understands
the operations by which the projectors of
the Central and Union Pacific railroads
made 500, 100000 or so while the roads
they constructed have never been able to
pay interest on the bonds the Cove rnment
guaranteed. Viewed in the light of the ex-
ceptional knowledge Mr.. Stewart possesses,
the construction of the canal under the pro-
visions of the proposed bill may be impOitlc.
As the public understands the bill, ii allows
the Government to assume control when
the canal company default in payments of
interest. The bill only requires the Gov
eminent To. guarantee bonds to the amount
of S10O. O0o, 600. and in effect STIMULATES that
when this sum has been expended the COM
pany slall step down and out. Mr.. Stewart
thinks the completion of the canal will
cause all the trade of the Pacific to pass
through it on the way TO New York and
other Atlantic cities. At point in the
Pacific Ocean east-bound vessels will di-
verge, some directing their course to the
canal, others to San Francisco. There is a
vast stretch of country that may be sup
piled more cheaply from San Francisco than
from New York. Vessels going through
the canal must pay canal toll, which is
avoided by coming to San Francisco. From
New ! ork or from San Francisco distri-
button will be made chiefly through the rail-
roads. May not teas, silks and other
Asiatic goods be distributed from San Fran
cisco at least as far east as the Mississippi
Valley as cheaply as from New York? The
expense of toll through the canal and of
the trip from its eastern terminus to the
Atlantic cities must be added to the cost of
landing the same goods in san Francisco.
The question appears one Of the cost of dis
tribution. If Pacific Coast railways keep
their charges high enough they will drive
good part of the Asiatic commerce through
l..

IN THE WAKE OF All YOU.

Heyleman's Petition for Habeas Corpus
to the Supreme Court.
Another violation of city ordinance has
been taken advantage of-ths Supreme
Courts ruling in the All You case. George
Heyleman, now imprisoned in the County
Jail in default of payment of $500 fine,
yesterday applied to the Supreme Court for
writ of habeas corpus, which was granted,
made returnable to-day. Heyleman says
lie was convicted under the same ordinance
that failed t. hold All You, and his sem
tence was merely for the act of delivering
four ribs of beef at a house of ill-fame on
Eddy street More than this, he AYERS that
he IS deprived of his liberty without due
process of law. and that he was prosecuted
in the Police Court by an outside attorney,
who was under the pay of his adversaries {.
The petitioner says, also, thas he is discour-
aged from applying to the Superior Court,
because in the cases of StrouSe and Frost
that tribunal held the order valid.

HILL ON SILVER.

The advocates of free silver coinage will
not gain much by making Governor Hill their
Presidential candidate in placeof Mr.. Cleve-
land. In a speech addressed to Kings
County Democrats Mr.. Hill said:
In order to give Internationally to our ratio,
sixteen. IL would be necessary to obtain before
hand the concordant voices OF all the States OF
the European Continent and the simultaneous
recOinage Of the gold francs, the gold marks, the
gold forms, tie gold rubes while the single vote
or Congress in favor OF the general European
ratio. fifteen and one-haf and the rec0luage OF a
single piece, namely, our silver dolar--shOuld be
sufficient for realizing everywhere au identica al
bimelaiiic ratio. Congress persists in max ing
sixteen gold dollars weigh the same as one silver
dollar, while fifteen and onehalf is the monetary
ralio between gold aud all the enormous stocks
OF silver coins existing In France, In Holland, In
Spain, in Austria, in Germany and i'll Russia.
Mr.. Hill thus appears to be in favor of
bimetalism when the principal commercial
powers of Europe shall agree upon common
ratio. The Government of the United States
has had conference after conference with
these powers in the hope of inducing them
to coin silver and make it full legal tender
On an agreed ratio. Most other gold men
favor bimetallism whenever an international
agreement can be effected. What they OPP
pose is, not so much bimetallism, as an
attempt by the United States to maintain
bimetallisln in the face of all Europe. The
difference between Hill and Cleveland is one
If statement Assuming that an intern a.
tional agreement cannot be secured Mr..
Cleveland declares for gold without qualif-
cation. Dir. Hill declares for gold until inter-
national agreement can be obtained. Mr..
Hill adds 10 the difficulty of the silver
problem by declaring for the ratio of fifteen
and 2 half to one in place of sixteen to one.
On the European ratio the difference between
the market value of the two metals will be
greater than under the American ratio. He
does not consider the fact that most other
American countries than the United States
put more silver into dollar than the
United States. The Mexican dollar, for
example, is worth more in the market
than a 412H-grain American dollar. Mr..
Hill has apparently tried to create the
impression that he is a bimetallist by
declaring that under certain conditions
he would be. Most other gold advo-
Gates would be bimeiallists under the
same conditions but they fran KY admit
that there is no present prospect of realizing
these. to them, indispensable conditions.

A GREAT LIBRARY.

The report Of Hamilton Fish, President
OF the Board of Trustees of the Aston
Library in New York, contains some in
formation which is not devoid of interest
for residents of this coast In this city
Librarians report that 66 per cent OF the
books read are fiction, and our booksellers
do not always keep the standard works OF
history in stock. In New York taste runs
in different groove. at the Astur
Library more books on American history
are read than on any other subject, works
OF British and American literature, which
comprises novels, coming after. 1t should
'-De added, however, that the Astor Library
is intended for students, the Mercantile be-
ing the resort for novel readers
a good many people are interested in the
transfer of our Mercantile Library to the
western part OF the city, aud are specuIatinp
ON its probable fortunes when it is located
so near the Public Library. A comparison
OF Its condition with that of the Astor
Library suggests curious reflections. When
the Mercantile has built and fitted up its
new house it will only have few thousands
available for the purchase Of books, and
will have to rely mainly on its income from
rents. The Aston Library was founded in
1913, with house and an endowment of
100000. Since then the descendants of
John Jacob Aston have taken pride in add
ing to the endowment, so that it now
amounts to about two millions, and the cash
IN hand available for the purchase of books
Is $4,000. 1t bought last year 3117 books

REGULATING NEWSPAPERS.

A bill is pending in the Legislature re-
curing publishers of newspapers to make
known their exact circulation. The bill is
entirely harmless. If newspaper managers
desire TO cheat tbs public they can do so.
White paper is cheap aud a few thousand
extra copies may be struck Off during the
period necessary TO establish a record.
There is another proposition in the way of
regulating newspapers which has not yet
appeared in either House. A good deal of
matter is printed as news or editorial opin-
ion which is, in fact, an advertisement. The
Examiner in an occasional moment of can
DOR admits its own guilt in this respect 1t
apparently regards the printing of paid mat
ter as editorial or news as a good joke on the
public. The Chronicle is a notorious sinner
in the same line. In fact, it has never re-
taeted its,assertion that the editorial col
Emns of a newspaper were as fairly mer-
chandise as a merchants goods. THE CALL
would be willing to see a bill put through
the Legislature making the publication of
paid matter as news or editorial opinion
penal otfense. 1t would not do much good
to.fne publishers for this kind of an Of
Tense, as the profits are large enough to war
rant the payment of a fine where proof of
such unlawful publication was sufficiently
conclusive to warrant a conviction. But
with term in the Penitentary as the pen
atty, the most INSCRIPTIONS publisher wou i'd
conclude that the better policy was 10 deal
fairly with the public. 1t is probable that
the proprietors of the hronicIe and E1Gna-
iner have formed their opinions On the thics
of journalism by an examination of the
statutes. Finding no law against printing
paid matter as news they conclude that
there is no harm in it. Experienced journal
lists have held that the practice of publish
ing paid matter as news Furnishes itself
The public withhold their patronage from
papers WHICH are believed TO sell their news
and editorial columns. The comparatively
little influence the two papers mentioned
exercise over the community in which they
are best known may be accounted for on

and 160? pamphlets, swelling the nnmber OF
Its volumes to 2S5, 101. None of our lbrar-
les contain $4,000 live bnokS.
The collection OF the Astor Library does
not, of course. compare in interest with that
of the National Library in Paris, which con-
tains some two million volumes, but to the
student it is probably not so greatly inferior.
The quantity of dead stock in our libraries
is prodigious. In science every new book
kills certain number of old ones, and in
works of the Imagination taste changes, and
books which delighted one generation are
not always read by its successor. We
imagine tnat our librarians are not often
troubled by inquiries for Chaueer or Tasso.

some time past has in effect been the boss
party. If the Republican party in this CITY
falls under boss rule, it ought to be disposed
of. THE CALL looks to the Farmers Alli-
ance, to the labor unions, and to business men
generally. in contradistinction of the plum
derers who have had control, to favor re-
forms. Certain it is that no party can sue
coed for much length of time which is as cor
ruptly managed as has been San Francisco
for some time past. 1t has not been alone
the amount of money which has been stolen,
but it is the corruption which has crept into
the nominations OF Judges and persons who
have had the management of juries.
