THE GREAT AND RICH CITY.

When a question of large expenditure
arises San Francisco is spoken of as great
and rich city. There is nothing in the way
OF luxury that this city cannot afford.
Especially can this great and rich city
afford to provide places with large salaries
for an army of officials. If footpad breaks
into the ciiy's stronghold and takes out so
much of its contents that the remainder Will
not meet demands the great and rich city
should 80 down into the pockets OF It's tax
payers for money to make up the loss. Two
or three of our contemporaries are mixing
up the deficit in the School Fund with the
obligations of the Taxpayers OF this great
and rich city in most extraordinary way.
The assumption is that the taxpayers ought
to provide so much money that dehclt
would be impossible. There is no censure
for the unfaithful officials who are respon-
sble for the deficit but much for the tax
payers who respectfully decline to provide
money for all possible extravaganza. The
school-t teachers should certainly be paid
One of the first duties of the Supervisors is
to apportion to the School Department a
sufficient sum to meet all necessary ex-
penses on the present scale of salaries.
While this scale is higher than in the East
ern cities it is none too nigh to correspond

eral communities. A teacher would be con-
tnually mortified in San Francisco if COM
PEELED to live on the salary paid in several
Eastern cities. Whatever sum is agreed
upon should be paid. The proposition to
withhold half months salary when funds
run low is small business at best. 1t is en-
lertained only because schoOl-teacherS are
afraid of losing their places if they attempt
to collect what is due them. But it is not
right that city which pays the greater part
of its teachers between $40 and $3.50 a year
should be reproached for illiberality. 1t is
well known that all the teachers below S720
a year are beginners whose salary is in
creased with each years service. 1t is not
to the point to say that competent teachers
could be secured at a lower range of sal
aries. Not one taxpayer in a hundred
wants to have salaries reduced. What tax
payers want is that the money raised by
taxation should be devoted TO the purposes
for which it is paid and that officials who
waste or steal it should be held up to public

THE DIFFERENCE.

Our friends of the AHa California app ear
to have strange obliquity of vision in some
respects. For instance, that paper can see
wonderful advantages in a cable to be sub
sidized by the General Government between
San Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands,
but not much in a ship canar across the
isthmuS. OF course a cable would be of
some advantage to this city, but it would be
tritiing in comparison with canal which
would give California cheap freights to and
from the Atlantic ports and from Europe.
That paper in a recent issue said:
a Pacific cable is just as important to The COM
merce OF the United States as an lsthmian canal
but we hear no clamor against a guarantee OF
500, 600 600 10 the canal That is regarded as
Justified in commercial necessity. The cable Is
more nearly Pacific Coast interest. but this
coast Is not SO full jeweed in every hole by
Federal liberality as to make it impossible TO ask
for This canal without bushiug.
a canal across the isthmus would insure
California merchants reasonable freights.
With a canal our citizens would be to a GER
tain extent independent of railroads, which
make it a rule to tax our products all they
will possibly bear With such communi-
cation open to this coast our city and State
wnnld receive au Impulse Wntcn would aG

Inestic manufacture the fact should not be

Mas >achu>etts was, then, in favor of a pro-
trttiye tariff. Her people had discovered
that agriculture in New England could not
lie made profitable in competition with the
South and West, and that foreign commerce
gave employment 10 comparatively few
pe0Dle. 1t saw a vast field of industry
opened to the New England group of States
if the Government could be induced to tax
sufficiently the products of foreign manu-
facture:s. The expectations of MaSsachu-
New England States are the most wealthy
and populous section of the Union. TEey
have BECOME so by purchasing the raw
material of the South and West and return
Ing 10 the South and West finished goods.
That kind Of trade works between sections
OF one country as it works between coun-
tries. The exporter of raw material re-
mains poor while the manufacturer grows
rich. But Of late years tile South and West
have learned wisdom from New England
and established their own manufactures
beside the fields and Mines The market
for New England products is thus growing
narrower and narrower. These changed
conditions seem to have worked a change
in New .EDgland's views OH the question of
protective tariff. Before the last election

hopes the friends of silver will take
square look at this proposition. Its pur-
pose is to create demand for silver which
will cause it to appreciate until it reaches
parity with gold. There is every reason to
believe that the proposed measure will ac-
cOmpiish its declared object. The present
law has been but few months in opera
ton, but it has given start. Every think
Ing man will admit that it will be better to
reach free coinage through increased pur-
chase of silver than by means of a law
which will create two standards of value

standard Is what all friends OF silver are
aiming at, but a condition of the double
standard is that bullion of each metal shall.

purpose to sever the slight connection he

There is an old saying that rats desert a
sinking ship, but the average rats not ON
niscient 1t may see indications that lead it
to the conclusion that the ship is sinking
when it is not. Examples have often been
furnished Of men and women who have had
such a dread OF going down with a sinking

by themselves Stewart apparently belongs
to that class of men and women. He has
jumped overheard and thereby, in all prob
ability, ended his political career. But while
in the act of committing political hara-kiri,
the Nevada rat makes vicious knife-thrust
at the President. In effect, he accuses Pres
ident Harrison of killing Secretary Window

what man may accomplish by making HIM
self useful to men of influence. Stanford

OLD LADIES, HOME.


A local paragraph appeared in Mon
days CALL describing some specimens OF
needle work which an elderly lady
wishes to dispose of to enable her TO make
up sum which will secure her admission to
an Old Ladies' Home. 1t appears from this
statement of the elderly lady's relative that
the sum of $1,000 is charged for admission.
While $1,000 is not large sum to many OF
the estimable ladies who have interested
themselves in establishing homes for aged
persons, it is large enough to bar out the
persons most in need of home. Elderly
women who have $1,000 may find the home
a convenience, but sucn are not the only
proper objects of charity. A home in
which elderly women who have outlived
family ties can find refuge by paying small
monthly payments is much needed. With
rent free, the actual cost of existence in
public Institution of this nature would be
very small and probably within the means
of the friends of applicants who would
not feel able to advance $1,000.
