EDITORIAL NOTES

One Of the most important questions which
will come before Congress for consideration is
that of coast defense. In the estimation OF Sen.
at0r Dolph five thousand miles of sea-coast with
numerous haTbors and important seaboard
cities, and an extensive and valuable commerce
upon the great lakes are prac icaIiy defe useless
-Four thousand million dollars worth OF property
would be exposed to destruction in case of war
with naval power. {" The estimates for coast
deienses by the Chief OF Ordnance and the Sec
rotary of War for the next fiscal year" says she
Senator. will be upon liberal scale, and it Is
10 be hoped that Congress, acting with intelii-
geHce and patriotism, viii deal with the question
as its Importance deserves. Tie whole amount
required FOR an effective system of coast de-
fenses for our entire coast and lake ports is
comparatively small. Ii is much less than
the first cost OF such a navy as is advo-
cated by the Secretary and officers of The
navy; and navy, as has been said, requires
large annual expenses for repairs and peri odeal
renewals. The Board on FortihcationS or other
defenseS,' appointed under The provisions of the
act OF March ;, 1885, reported that for the
twentyseyen ports most urgently needing de-
lenses, the cost Of Notifications, including float
ing batteries for san Francisco and tho mouth OF
Tie Mississippi, would be S126,377 500. There
are other points which must in lime be fortified.
Puget Sound being probably the most important,
but the total cost Of complete system OF coast
detenSes would not exceed $780, coo, 900, and il
the money could be appropriated so that the
work when commenced could be pushed 10
speedy completion without intern upton, the cost
would be much less"

TALES OFT OF SCHOOL.

Tie ErgHiaer on Friday published what
It termed. in the headlines of an article to
which reference is made, the following:
startling developments in the Grand Jury's
Investigations Of city and county officials"
And then follow tie names Of several indi-
yiduals, Of whom the paper says the start
ling intelligence gained currency yesterday
Thursday that the Grind Jury Will, at
their session to-day friday find true bills

Their:
In addition to lndicilng these prominent on.
Gals, application viii be made simultaneously
TO Presiding Judge Wallace 10 have their offices
declared vacant.
Tie evidence upon which the indictments are
based IS said to be so strong that the Superior
Court VIII have no Lesitancy ia doing this.
What The CALL desires to learn is
whether the Examiner is running she Grand
Jury or the Grand Jury running the Eram-
iaer? The Grand Jury is popularity be-
lieyed to be body Of men who are sworn
TO keep what is transpiyng 10 the Grand
Jury room to themselves. Again, by what
authority does the paper say that the evil
dence upon which the indictments are based
Is sad to be SO strong that the Superior
Court will have no hesltaney in doing this"
If the Examiner IS publishing statements
Ike those to which reference is made with
out authority It's committing an outrage,
and If the Grand Jury is making confidant
as to whatit is going to do it is body of men
who are indiscreet. Buckley and some of the
cronies seem to have had notice of what the
Grand Jury intended to do in time to
escape out of the State. The CALL has
done its utmost to make rascality odious in
this community, and it hopes ultimately to
see the atmosphere cleared of perjury and
frauds. We saw that Buckley and his assist
ants were controlling the politics OF the city
and debating who should hold the offices,
even 10 those Of the iudgeships. We real
lied also that a set of knaves held the ballot
boxes and selected, to a certain extent, our
grand and petty juries. THE CALL is still
struggling for reform, and 1t hopes that
affairs may come out right, but if efforts are
made to turn the jury and court into a
machine to help those who have piundered
US so long with impunity it will not do any
good,

WHAT BLAND VIII NOT DO.

Mr.. Bland may introduce resolution into
the Democratic caucus making a declaration
Of principles on the silver question, but he
will not succeed in getting anything like an
authoritative declaration. Ii a declaration
should be made for free silver coinage, New
York and Connecticut. and probably New
Jersey, would be east out OF the party. Not
only would the nomination of Cleveland be
made impossible, but Cleveland's friends
and followers would have good cause for
refusing to vote the Democratic ticket. If,
on the other hand, the caucus should vote
against free silver coinage, the West would
be diSpieased. Ii happens that both the
East and theWest are fairly well pleased with
the silver Olicy of the administration. The
East prefers 1t to free coinage, and the West
to a policy favoring the single gold stand
ard. Should BANDS resolution be adopted,
thousands of Eastern Democrats would vote
the Republican ticket as the only measure
OF preventing free silver coinage. Present
appearances indicate that. the Democratic
party has 10 do considerable straddliug to
get more than 109 votes in the next Electo-
raj College. They must straddle on the
tariff and on silver. The remark is in order
at this time that straddling is not so easy in
these days Of rapid Geographic commuuica-
ton, as when the Democrats won Pennsyl-
yania on the cry of Polk, Dallas and the
tariff Of 1919

TREASURY BALANCES.

Democratic journals are greatly distressed
st the condition of the Treasury. Although
there is S10o.Go0,000 in gold to redeem green
backs with, while in twelve years there
have been no greenbacks presented for re-
demption, there is still an apprehension
that tie Treasury is sailing too close TO the
wind. There was a balance of about $40
100000 IN the Treasury on the 1st OF No.
vember, but as S14,0Oo,000 was on deposit in
national banks and S14,oo0,o0o in subsidiary
silver, the available balance is figured down
TO ST., COG, 000. This condition is so low that

a Decision of The supreme Court Against
Its PFoprietors.
The Supreme Court has arirmed the judg-
ment OF the Superior Court in the case Of
benjamin Z. Lyforth against the North
Pacific Railroad Company.
Mrs. Lyforth, the plaintiffs wife, owned
as her separate property tract of land in
Marin County known as Strawberry Point,
She and her husband contracted with the
company TO convey to 1t a right Of way for
its railway through tae land, in conSidera-
ton of 81 and certain mutual covenants
which the contracts contained
This right of way was abandoned by the
railroad in 1854, when the company took up
the rails and removed the track to distance
from The Lyforths' land, by which they
claimed their property was rendered mac
cessible and greatly damaged.
The court, IN rendering judgment for the
company, held that the agleement TO con-
tinue TO operate the railroad was covenant
which under the code would run with the
land. 1t was not a covenant for the direct
benefit Of the property

to the Health and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday that his en-
tire force is now constantly engaged clean
ing out cesspools and flushing sewers and
every complaint as fast as filed is being re-

1t has been reported within day or two
that Health Officer keeney charged the
neglect Of not flushing tho sewers to the
Health and Police Committee, but when
asked by it what his reasons were he flatly
denied ever having said such thing.
Chairman Wilkinson maintained that il
was grossly unjust to blame the Supervisors
for such neglect, if any there is, because
upon the first appearance of a complaint
they passed a resolution directing tile Su-

A LEAKING GRAND JURY.

The Examiner disclosed on Friday some
of the secrets OF the Grand Jury. AS each
member of the Grand Jury is sworn not to
reveal the proceedings of the body tue in
ference is fair that one or more members OF
the Grand Jury is remiss in the per-
Torrance of his duty. 1t is not well to inform
suspected parties that the Grand Jury has
decided to indict them. The belief is gen.
eral that the flight of Buckley was prompted
by some such disregard OF official obligation
as has more recently been given.
