The opponents of the Shipping Bill assert
that there is no use in laws to place Ameri-
can shipping on level with the shipping of
foreign countries il the United States is to
continue its protective policy. What is the
use of having shipping, these opponents ask,
if We have no foreign commerce? The
answer is that under the prot ective policy
we have considerable foreign commerce
One year with another this commerce does
not vary much from 81, 500, OOC, 900. Four
hfthS Of orr ocean carrying is done in foreign
vessels. The object OF the Shipping Bill is,
in part, to enable American shippers to en-
ploy vessels without thereby mourning loss
II is also believed that direct steam COM
municatiOn with South American countries
and Australia will enable us to increase our
exports to such countries. There are articles
of manufacture which we can and do sell
abroad in competition with like articles
from Europe. American patents not shared
by Europeans give American manufacturers
an advantage in the production of certain
articles which more than offsets the higher
cost of labor. On the general proposition to
so reduce American wages that our manu-
facturers can compete with Europeans there
would be almost universal dissent, but t
does not follow that we should not export
articles which We can produce at as low cost
as our European competitors.

CITY CEMETERY.


The General Government Desires a Large

rooms Of the exchange on Pest street to con-
slider the subject of ceding to the General
Government portion of the City Cemetery.

William Bovee presided, and Richard
Hammond explained to the members the
manner in which the desired property might
be acquired by the Government, under fine
right of eminent domain even without fine
consent of the city and county.
The strip OF land desired by the ITnitaa
States for harbor defense comprises abont
fiity-fiye acres, and is situated in the nort
ern portion of the cemetery, being the form
of an Irregular sphere.

GOOD PAVEMENT WANTED

Such is the heading Of an editorial article
n1he columns of a San Francisco news
.oa2er We agree perfectly with the sug-
seston. The public want good pavement
which viii not cost so much as to ruin them
ctn Francisco IS comparatively a new city,
and We are called upon to extend our streets

AK the people heavily to keep pace with the
SrOwth Of the city. While we were putting
Town Belgian stone blocks on an ordinary
0urdati0n the city was gradually Obtaining
good pavements. In an evil hour. however,
few spectators obtained control Of the
Il ~ government, when a change was made
% that we could not use stone blocks except
Jy first putting down a costly concrete
@bunIation. The present city government
las taken the initial steps for going back to
lie stone pavement, buta howl comes up from
ne men who have been growing rich by the
IRVING of stone pavements out of use. Had
not the spectators in patent processes for
Obtaining money from the public under
false pretenses better work quietly for a
tine at least and permit San Francisco to
take a breathing spell?

BEST REDUCE TAXES.

The proposition to make taxes payable in
installments is for the purpose of extortinp
more taxes out of our citizens. The people
have become uneasy under excessive taxa
ton, hence the tax-eaters wish to do some
thing which will pacify the public mind for
the time being. There is sufficient trouble
now in obtaining tax-bills, and in showing
along so as TO avoid an extra per cent
for not paying the tax promptly to day.
The remedy for an overtaxed people seems
TO be to cut down useless expenses; but such
a policy does not seem to meet with much
favor. One-half of the amount now paid in
the way of taxes, If properly used. would
answer every purpose

SET ASIDE.

The vote in the Senate taking up the APP
portionment Bill in place of the Federal
Election Bill probably settles the fate of the
latter bill. Enough Republicans have been
found to vote with the Democrats against
the Election Bill to defeat the bill. The Pa
clhc Coast has gone on the record against
the bill. Jones and Stewart, of Nevada.
Stanford and Hearst, of California, have
either voted or paired against the bill. The
Oregon Senators voted with the majority of
their party. The bill has gone down before
the threats OF the Democratic Senators. A
measure to protect class of voters in the
South who have been practically disfran-
chsed has been denounced as a measure to
perpetuate the Republican party 10 power.
Although the bill applied to all sections of
the country and would, if enacted, have been
enforced in all States where there was a
complaint of unfair elections, it WAS repre-
sented as being intended only for the South

PERMANENT CENSUS OFFICE.

The National Board of Trade, represent
ing Boards of Trade and kindred CONNER
cial organizations from the several States,
has passed resolutions recommending to
Congress the revision of the present census
and also immediate legislation providing
for future enumeratiols. The ultimate
object Of the National Board of Trade is TO
establish a permanent Census Office. A
Federal census is taken once in ten years.
The work Of enumeration is compressed
into as few DAYS as practicable. 1t is not
job a corps of trained men may 20 leiSurely
about commencing one census as soon as
the preceding one is finished. In England
the entire ground is covered in 4 single day.
In this country the counting ought to be
done within thirty days. OF course, the
work is notc5mplete when the last returns
are handed in, but the rest is mainly cleri-
cal. Ii is not probable that permanent
Census Office will include enumerators who
really have the difficult work to do. Instead
Of organizing permanent force of clerks
would IT not be we'll to expend part of the
money such a force would cost on the
enumerators? At the rate of compensation
paid at the last census enumerators could
not average 81 a day. Two cents a name is
not adequate compensation. Five cents a
name would secure better service. 1t
might be well also to change the date of
taking the census from June TO October
During eight years of the ten the permanent
census officers would have little to do except
to attend political conventions.

AFLOAT ON THE ICE.
Two Fishermen Rescued After PeriIous
Adventure.

Two Fishermen Rescued After PeriIous
Adventure.
Daniel Keen and Robert Stephenson, net
fishermen at Nerplanck, \. Y, had queer
experience last Sunday afternoon and even
ing, says the Philadelphia Telegraph They
were hauling in their nets on a field of Ice
that seemed safe, but suddenly broke up
and sent them drifting down the river on
one of its pieces. They ran for their lives
when the breaking began, but were too late
TO reach the shore
a thick fog came up and the night was
very dark. A strong ebb tide carried the
cake of ice down the river. The men lighted
their lanterns and Kept up "A continuous
hallooing, but the gale drowned their voices.
1t raIned terribly and there were occasional
flashes Of lightning. The cake Of ice kept
breaking up and the men had to keep jump
ing from piece to piece to save themselves.
Twice Stephenson fell into the water and
was rescued by Keen. The flood tide COM
menced TO make and carried the ice up and
the WIND drove 1t across the river.
The fog lifted for moment and the men
thought they saw light and renewed their
calls, which were heard and answered by a
Waterman of the West Shore Railroad who
quickly summoned help in the persons of
Alexander Ten Eyck, John White and Paul
keesler Of TOmpkins Cove. Ten Eyck got
his boat, and, accompanied by White aud
Keesler, dragged it over the ice until the
water was reached, and then it was quickly
launched. There was a great quantity of
floating ice and very slow progress was made
toward the men, whose cake was fast grow
ing smaller. The water was dashing over
them, and the men lay flat upon the ice to
prevent being washed into the river
The boat finally reached the cake of ice
they were on, but could not get to them
heesler and White broke through into the
water several times, and only saved them
selves by grasping the side of the boat. Keen
and Stephenson crawled toward the boat,
but the ice gave way under them, and they
with difficulty succeeded in getting ia it
again. Finally the painters of the boat were
tied together and thrown to them, and they
were hauled in. As Keen, who was the last
one rescued, was hauled in. the cake of ice
they had been on was dashed into a thou
sand pieces by an immense wave, which
nearly swamped the boat. The men were
taken to Tompkins Cove by their rescuers

PRICES LIBEL SUIT.

The Plaintiff Charges Rouse and Laws
With Having Ruined His Business.
The trial of the suit of Wallace c. Price
against W. Ii. Rouse and John Laws, for
$4,000 damages for alleged libel, is in prog
ress before Judge CARRIER.
The plaintiff who was a rival of the de-
PENDANTS in business, claims that they wrote
letter to j. NJ. Lopez, Gust omer of the
plaintiff. referring to him as an "un safe
one" to deal with. The answer denies the
alleged libel. Lopez was examined as a
witness yesterday, testifying that he stopped
dealing with Price after the receipt of the
letter.
The plaintiff then took the stand and ex-
planned the circumstances of the injury to
his business. He had left the defendants
employ and had been in business for him
self only forty days when the letter was

HOW U. s. SENATOR'S ARE ELECTED.

Our neighbors of the Atta California are
opposed to any change by which United
States Senators would be elected by vote
of the people. 1t is easier to purchase
place in the Senate through the Legislature
than it would be by purchasing votes at
popular election. As affairs are managed.
money may be used in convention to Sc
cure the nomination of candidates to the
Legislature who are pledged to vote for the
man whose money has been used, or, falling
IN this, money may be used directly to bride
members OF the Legislature. The opinion
prevails pretty extensively on this Coast that
1or some time past money would procure
Gne eiection oil almost any man to the United
States Senate from California and Nevada.

THINGS TO BE THOUGHT OF.

When a article of common product does
not command a price in market that con-
pensates the producer the natural remedy is
to reduce the supply. For example. if wheat
is not profitable crop IN the United States,
where it can be produced to average advan-
tage, the correction wheat-srowers should
apply is to produce less wheat 1t would be
for the interest of the wheat-grower to in
duce as many wheat growers as possible to
90 into some business which would enable
them to become consumers of wheat. 1t is
on this principle that our protective policy is
based. By establishing manufactures we
take men from agricultural pursuits and
make them consumers of agricultural prod
ucts Our friends of the Farmers ALI
ance propose TO proceed in different way
They will invite men to become wheat
growers by offering an indirect bounty on
that crop. The offer of Government money
at per cent year on wheat and other nom
perisnable products will naturally induce
men to become wheat producers who might
otherwise remain, or become, wheat con-
sumers. The offer of Government money at
low rate Of interest on land will induce
men to own and cultivate land. Men will
naturally want TO produce things that have
an advantage over other things in the money
market
