SAMPLE OFFICIALS.

1t is surprising how cur city officials cling
to Office. Once in official positions it seems
as if they believed they had rights which
should not be disputed. There are more
than one hundred men in this city who
always hold Office, no matter which party
claims 10 be in power. If new men occa-
sionally obtain positions they hold their
places if they can prove their usefulness to
the bosses by opening up new sources for
plunder. OF this character it is possible one
Of the following named persons may be
classed. Says contemporary:
The fact Is now recalled that when the State
Board OF Equalization year ago raised the
assessment OF this city 80 per cent, Auditor
Smiley tenaciousy held that the increase went
also 10 the roll for local purposes. He was sup
ported In this view by Attorney burst. who went
about saying that II the Increase In question
were not ordered. the levy would be invalIdated.
To prevent this portentous raid, application was
made to ex-Justice McKinstry for an opinion,
who ruled the other way. The fact made 10 i'm
preston on Smiley and Durst that In none Of the
preceding Increases OF the assessment-roll by
the State Board Of Equalization was the increase
extended to the local roll, nor when the single
decrease was ordered was the roll for local pur-
poses decreased. If these officials had been
allowed to have their way. 100000 more than
the city needed would have been taken last fiscal
year out of the pockets Of the taxpayers. The
Auditor is great stickler for the law, but his
law always works against the people, their
pockets or their rights

SAN FRANCIsCo's PROSPECTS.

Horace Greeley soon after he visited Cali
tornia wrote as follows: 81 predict that
California will have three millions of peo-
pie in 1900, and Oregon at least one million"
He wrote further. that. ''Since twenty years
have raised San Francisco from naked
beach to a city of 100000 souls. who can
doubt that eighty more will see these swelled
to at least one milion?"
In little more than seven years, accord
ing to the predition of Mr.. Greeley, the State
Of California should have three millions of
people, and were it not for the exaetions Of
the managers of the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroad companies, We could easily
reach that figure. Mr. Greeley believed in
his lifetime that San Francisco and New
York would be the two great cities of the
United States. Nearly forty-fve Of the
one hundred years have elapsed since
the gold mines in California were dis
covered, and ii is believed with proper
treatment by the railroads San Francisco
would have at the present moment hard
upon 100000 population, AMI In fifty-fve
years more the city should have, according
10 Mr. Greeley's prediction, one million peo-
pie. With proper adjustment of freights
and fares, San Francisco would soon enter
upon such period Of prosperity as her
citizens have not yet witnessed. Manu-
featuring establishments of every descrip-
ton would spring into existence, and popu-
lation would be required to operate them
As affairs have been managed we were told
at first that San Francisco was located on
the wrong side of the bay. but now the
argument is that the city is only ft to be
the football Of Messrs. Huntington and

TIE ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.

That was a rather thin pretext under
which the Board of Election Commissioners
postponed the selection OF election officers
Tuesday evening. The pretext was that
they Gid not know which OF two factions
claiming TO represent the Democratic party
was entitled to the privilege of presenting
names from which to select officers Of cleo
ton. Three OF the Election COmmissio oners,
who had been before the Non Partisan con-
veDtion and had been found wanting ia the
qualities a public official should possess,
were inclined to think that the Democrats
who had bolted from The reorganizers
should be heard. When Registrar Brown
urged that the period within which appoint
ments must be made was short the three
Commissioners remained unaffected by the
reminder. They were exceedingly anxious
that the Old-line Democrats, as the anti
Dwyer and Sullivan Democrats are called.
should have chance to state their case.
AS citizens these Election Commissioners
know that it is matter Of supreme import
ance that the election officers are the right
kind Of men. Negative honesty is not
enough at a time like the present. We
not only want honest men in the election
booths. bat resolute men. The Kelly
Crimmius faction is desperate. The pros
pect that the Non-Partisans viii have on
their petition rolls more than one-half the
voters of the city has made them so. They
saw what an honest primary did for them
in Alameda County, and are determined not
to take any chances they can avoid in the
coming election in this city. Mayor San
derson Auditor Smiley and Tax Collector
O'Brien compose majority Of the Elec-
ton Board. If there is any waste Of time
which results in hasty and unfit appoint
ments Of election officers the responsibility
will be with them. All these were before
the NOn-Partisan convention, but two pre-
ferred to cast their lot with the Third-street
bosses. Their present action indicates
desire on their part to render the faction
they lave cast their lot with such aid as
their Official position enables them to give.
II this Judgment is deemed too harsh THE
CALL viii be happy to change its opinion
with good cause for doing so.

HONEST MONEY.

MI Cleveland lodged the proposition made
by the national Democratic convention to
repeal the 10 per cent tax on State banks. 1t
Is not denied that the effect of repeal will
be 10 revive State banks of circulation un-
der State laws. Without doubt some of the
States would enact laws under which cur
reney might be issued with security to the
public. but other States might not The
Federal Government would have no control
over them. 1t seems, therefore that Mr..
Cleveland, whose honest money procliVities
are so strong that he preferred to de-
monetize silver rather than allow cheap
dollar to circulate, is now willingly stand
ing on platform which advocates the re-
peal Of all laws preventing wildcat bank
ing The Democratic party finds the coun-
try prosperous under protective tariff, and
finds an abundant currency, every dollar of
which is equal in money value to any other
dollar. II proposes to repeal the tariff and
the law which places the Federal Govern
ment behind every dollar Of paper that is
issued. This policy will open the country
TO the cheap productions of European
factories and will give us as many kinds of
currency as there are States in the Union.
While all these kinds will have the same
nominal value, banks would soon perceive
distinction among them. The bills Of
first one State bank then of another would
be refused at par value, ana in that event
would be sold by money brokers for what
they would bring. Their value In the
money market would be in proportion to
the bankers estimate OF the chance OF

A BRITISH VIEW.

Tha So. James Gazette says that Cleve-
lands letter shows that the Democrats have
no intention whatever of adopting free
trade In view of the fact that all Ameri-
can Democratic papers assure the public
that Mr. Cleveland's letter is in perfect har-
meny with the Democratic platform this is a
curious conclusion to come to. There is no
mlstaking the meaning Of the Democratic
platform. 1t declares that tariff for other
than revenue purposes is unconstitutional.
The conclusion is reasonable that the Lon
don paper is speaking automatically.
