Comic Songs. Good and Bad.

Comic Songs, Good and Bad.
What relief to an audience when q
comic song is on tap to find the rhyme
smooth and the humor ns.urali it not only
heightens the effect but adds to the enjoy
ment of rejecting on its merits. How
many cheap, trashy, msudlin songs there
are on our stage, ignorantly and murder
ously put together, leaving with us only re-
gret that the author still had life to further
infiet his Nightmares upon us. But what
was the pleasurable surprise of the vast
audience last night when one after the
other came original songs written in q
mastery manner and convulsng the spec
tators with their unctuous and irresistible
humor, Never hsye l so desired to witness

THE TIN PLATE SITUATION.


n 1t is folly for any one to assert that
I'VE are not now making tin-plate, or
that in all probability that we will not
make in the very near future much
more than the minimum amount men
toned in the tin-plate clause of the
Mckinley act. The United States
Iron and Tin Plate Company are max
ing 100 tons, or say 1000 boxes, amonth /;
the Apollo Sheet Iron Works state
that they are making 1C0 boxes day;
Flemi Hankcon, of = tsburg,
make about b boxes'a day; N. & G..
Taylor, sof Philadelphia, 40 boxes;
Marshall Bros. & Co. about 100 boxes,
and Niedringhaus some so boxes. This
makes total of at least $40 boxes a
day--a small amount, to be sure, but
an earnest of what is to come.
AS to the future: Niedringhaus is
actually erecting works with the capac-
ity of 800 boxes a day, and will increase
this to 2,300 boxes. The United States
1k,on and Tin Plate Company have con-
's2acted for machinery TO increase there

CIVIL sERyICE REFoRAI.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
recently delivered a speech before the ooli-
mercial Club OF Boston, in which ne au-
yanced presumably the strongest argument
that his side of the civil service reform
question admits Of. Mr. Roosevelt has studied
the civil service of this and other countries,
and is firmly of the opinion that foreign
systems are the best. 1t appears, however,
from a glance at Mr.. Roosevecs speech .h %
reported in Boston papers. that he n"9 ne

Pol.; p% IT, Improved by giving persons en-
"ou,I in that service a life term of Office.
TIRE are two systems of civil service,
one which contemplates occasional changes
in the personnel of the service, aud grades
compensation accordingly; the other makes
the term of Office for life, or during good
behavior, with low rates of compensation
and pensions at the expiration of fixed
number of years. The first has been called
the American system, the second the
European. The European system is in
harmony with the fixed character of their
institutions, the American in harmony with
the theory of popular government, where
the rule of the majority causes frequent
changes in the head Of the Government.
1t has been urged against the European
system that employees become careless and
Indifferent in the performance of their duties
knowing that their places are secure as long as
they make q decent pretense of performing
their duties. Under the European system
there is little incentive to more than ordinary
efficiency and little apprehension of punish
ment for any ordinary delinquency. The
clerks under this system are servlle to Sill
parors in Office and make up for that ser
Witty by rudeness to the public. Against
the American system it is urged that COM
petent clerks are discharged and unskllled
ones employed. Political service is also the
key TO places of honor and profit. Under
the American system there is an opportunity
for evils to work their own cure. Holding
head of an office to strict account utility
| places a restraint on any inclination he may
! have to reward his political friends. Ii the
! duties of his office are not fairly well per-
formed the head of the department must
pay the penalty. Generally he is under
bonds which require him to make good all
losses resulting from the incompetence or
negligence of his employees. An incoming
administration has right to select officIals
for whom it is held responsible. The party
in power has a right to the service Of officials
in harmony with the general policy of the
party. But in subordinate positions, to
which simply clerical duties are attached
! the custom is growing of continuing in
| cumbenis through a fixed term. correspond
! ing in duration with that of the head of the
| Government. This measure of civil service
reform meets with little opposition. even
from the most ardent advocate of the Amer
| lean system.

A POOR 3IEMORY.

Tie Chronicle intimates in its usual sinu-
Gus WAY, that The CALL has advocated tile
IlaW allan reciprocity treaty, to the prejudice
OF the beet-Sugar industry OF this State. Ii
We may assume that the Chronicle is in
calabie OF willful Misrepresentation, we can
account fer this insinuatlon only on the
ground Of defective memory. There are so
many things which Mr. de Young desires to
forget that a habit Of forgetting has come to

pAshments. IHE CALI has ALWAYS held
that the reciprocity treaty with the Ha-
waiian Islands was justified only by the
geographical position Of the islands. They
are too near cur Coast 10 be allowed to fall
under European influence. The reciprocity
treaty was only step in the direction of
ultimate annexation of the islands to the
Talon. The duties We have remitted on
HaWalian products are triffr in comparison
IL the cost Of a military movement to hold
the Islands against Europe. AS an integral
part oil the United States no European nation
would hold them as a fair subject of COM

heet-sugar industry of this and other States,
Ing GAIL has been its advocate, in season,
and perhaps out. WeTegard it as an indus
tEy likely to surpasS in magnitude either the
wheat, the fruit or vine industry. Within
few years we expect TO see this State pro-
duce from $4,000, 900 to $50, coo, 900 of beet
sugar each year. The product VIII be only
limited blythe market. So important do we
consider this industry that we regarded the
removal Of duties on foreign sugar as a
mistaken policy. But since Congress has
adopted that policy we can only urge capital
to take the chance OF establishing beet-sugar
factories under the bounty system.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

School Director Woodward has t1ken
Superintendent Anderson 10 task for not
visiting the schools as often as some of his
predecessors. The annual report of Mr..
Anderson, however, indicates that he has
given the schools considerable attention.
He has discovered one thing that friends OF
the public school system regard as the
greatest evil that beseus the scholastic
evil OF too many branches of study. No
complaint is so common as that of the
multiplication of studies. Parents saw that
the time their children have to devote to
schools frittered away on practically useless
branches, while the child reaches its fifteenth
or sixteenth year with a very imperfect
knowledge of the rudiments. More atten-
ton IS given to preparing pupils for the
hlgh~school than in fitting them for the solid
work of life. There are seven branches Of
study which should not be sacrificed for any
superficial accomplishments; these, BY
common consent, are reading, writing, spell
ing, arithmetic, grammar, geography and
history. No one will contend that this is as
wide a range of study as is desirable, but
these are the branches that are essential.
The child who is compelled to leave school

well grounded in these fundamental
stndJes, go as much further as it has the
amhtion to CO.. But the child who is let out

Why Did the "SOlid Nine" Hold
Another Meetings

The Supervisors met last night merely to
Grant permission to Thomas Morton to en-
large and square his buildings on Fremont
street near Folsom, and to adjourn until
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when the in
coming board will meet. Mayor Pond and
Supervisors Wright and Noble were absent.
Supervisor Boyd presided.
After adjournment three yetoes were re-
ceiyed from the Mayor by CLERK Russell.

If the 'Solid Nine" had any intention to
push through another job. it is altogether
probable that the vetoed orders would have
played part in the transaction. An extra
edition Of the Report during the meeting
would have enabled the Sold Nine" by
protracting the session, to have had the
orders published and passed over the
Mayors head. The Mayors action on the
orders was a mystery to the Solid Nine
until adjournment, and the vetoes therefore
will be acted upon by the incoming board.

HAMLET WAS ABSENT.

A New York paper comments upon the
action of tile Tariff Reform Club in not
inviting Governor Hill to be present as a
performance of "Hamlet" with Hamlet
left out. The banquet was held avowedly
to celebrate recent Democratic victories,
but the leader who was most active III the
campaign was ignored. while the one-who
preserved the most inscrutable silence was
honored with a seat at the right hand of the
President, and with the distinction of first
speaker. The political significance of this
is that the Tariff Reform Club regards free
trade as the central plank in the Democratic
platform. 1t has no honors for Democrats
who do not come up TO the free-trade mark

much to celebrate Democratic victories as to
