SIEPIIs WEAITH.

In a church ID New I0Tk some weeks
since Andrew Carnegie said:
Surplus wealth Is a sacred trust which its pos
SCISSOR is bound 20 administer lu his lifetime for
the good Of lie community from which was
derived II teaches thar The man who dies pos
sessed oI millions 90 available wealth which was
free and bis 10 administer during his lifetime
dies d.sgraced. We must let tue worker alone
during bis life, Iu. after his death the State
should step ia and demand its share Of his
board Through a graduated system OF taxation
every lO;tuHe left should contribute TO the State
lu pIol O!tlou 10 rs size; small amounts left to
those dependent upon the deCedent being ex-
eWI' hu, tie scale rising by Steps until OF enOr-
nous fortunes reaching INTO many millions 1t
should be dccIeed that one hail goes 10 the
state" This is proposition whica The laws Of
Venice eXacted from hen shylocks Our modern
sbylocks should be made TO contribute at least
as much.
Under this system State and municipal
taxation would become a thing Of the past
While a good many men would divide their
surplus wealth among their natural heirs
during life there would still be enough who
would put off that work until too late, to
provide both State and city with sufficient
revenues. A theory OF taxation is that a
business should be made to compensate the
public for all the cost it entails. Thus
traffic in liquor is heavily taxed that the
revenue derived from that source may be
sufficient to support the public institutions
which the liquor traffic makes necessary.
The same principle might be applied to
mere money-makng. The average man
who makes a million makes paupeTs as well.
lie has taken more than fair share Of the
products of labor and wealth, aud pauper-
ism is one OF the results. If he is required
either 10 give his surplus wealth away In his
lifetime or to let a large proportion 90 to
the State the incentive 30 accumulation
would be weakened. In England there is o
law Of somewhat opposite character. A
landed proprietor in that country is, as a
rule. only tenant for life. It Is not in his
power to divert his landed estate from his
direct heir. Tho tight Of the Individual to
do ~ he will with his own Is In such eases as
directly abridged rs II would DO II tho law
should limit tho amount OF money that
might be transmitted by will or By inner
itanco. MI Carneglo's expressions are
somewhat radical. but they are eminently
suggestive nevertheless.

that i. costs too much to clean it. The rea-
son Of its mferiority to other American
woods is that in this State sheep are almost
Invariably pastured on public land and no
sheep-raiser thinks it worth While TO buy or
lease his Wa ks. as they do In Australia, or
to take any particular care of his animals.
No industry can succeed where its conduct
is left TO chance. Our wool-meu do not make
money because they do not beStow on their
business the care ana attention which every
business requires. In OHIO shccp-raising IS
quite lucrative; the wool raised is fire and
the mutton excellent. But the sheep-raIserS
in that State take as much care OF them
as they would Of blooded horses. In
California, however, there is a tempta-
ton to use pasture land which belongs
TO the public domain and therefore
costs nothing. The soil and climate Of
California a5e too precious to be wasted in
pasiuGaEe; but 50 long rs the sheep indus
try fingers d VIII pay best where it is con-
Quoted on the general principle that nothing
Can come ont OF nothing.

ELECIENG UNITED STATES SIN
ATOES.

Tie proposed amendment 10 the Federal
..-rstutou providing for tile election Of
United states Senators by the people is en-
t-ev to comprehensive. It proposes not
Guly q change in the manner Of elecung
Senators, but In the number Of Senators
each State shall be entitled TO- The title of
t.e measure, which has been favOrably COM
meltej upon by TIE CALI, indicated that
rs sole purpose was to throw the choice OF
Senators into the hands Of the voters. leaY-
M .la principle Of State representation IN
touched But it appears thar the amend
ueat proposes to give each State one SEN
1-aui one additional Senator for each mill
ion r. inhabitants One objection 10 such an
amendment would be that it DESTROYS the
equality If States in the upper branch OF
Congress. NJ provision IN the constitution
vas more stTenu0U5ly c0uteuded for than
shat uuiea secured the smaller States equal
representation IN tie Senate with tie larger
ones 1t IS not too much to say that the
su>-a- States would not have ratified the
constitution had not some provision 10 this
effect been submitted. A second objection
that such change is undesirable. The
large States now have political power out Of
proportion 10 population and wealth. New
lara's thirty-slx electoral votes have year
after year been the determining factor in
tie Presidential election. a little more
shan thousand votes ia New York elected
Cleveland over Blaine iu 1854. The amend
.me1t proposes TO take from States with
less than 1000, 900 Inhabitants one Senator
and t. give States Of more than l. 900, 900 a
Senator for each 100000 in excess Of that
Number. It is not by any means certain
that tie people would gain anything by in
credsiug the number OF Senators from
a state whose local Legislature is con-
;rolIed by corporations At the present
uMe tie Senators who represent the people
rather than corporate wealth are from the
new States. Under the proposed amend
meut sixteen States would be deprived Of
one Senator; New York would gain four
Senators, Pennsylvania three, OHIO and
Illinois TWO each. 4 State with 100000
people would have two Senators-0ne as q
State and one for each 1000 90 Of popuIa-
zion s State with 100000 would have
three Senators and State with 100000
would have four. Several # the old States
would not in a long time, If ever have the
population requisite for lie second Senator
There is not the slightest Danger That such
an amendment viii be ratified. There are
enough states that would lose a Senator

legislatures Of three-f0urths Of all the
States

sILYER IN CONGRESS.

Chairman Bland IS determined 10 force
the House to vote on the free-coinage bill
If he cannot do il in any other way he will
tack silver as an amendment to a tart bill
or any otleT bill that may come Up. Mr.
Bland says reports are current that the
tariff bill is to be kept at the front not with
any expectations OF passing it, but to kill
silver This he does not think a minority
Of the Democratic party can do. If Presi-
Dental election were not so close at hand
there would be 10 trouble about getting a
vote on the silver bill. But the Presidential
year is an awkward time to get on The wrong
side Of an important issue. 1t Is evident
from the way Mr.. Bland talks that free
coinage at this session is losing ground. Any
action on the part of Congress that should
send gold to a premium would endangeT the
party responsible in every Northern State
Even Mr.. Hill could not then claim that the
party was in favor of a policy which would
make every dollar as good in the market as
any other dollar. Should gold 90 up to a
premium, even Of ! per cent, he could not
claim that the silver dollar was worth as
much on he market as the gold dollar. 1t
is question in financial circles whether the
passage Of the silver bill by the House
would send gold TO a premium. Such bill
would have 10 absolute effect, unless there
was a chance that it would pass both houses
over the Presidents Veto But as an indica-
ton Of what the Democrats would do should
they gain entire control of the Government,
it would have serious political effect.

DEAR ROOD.

san Francisco is going through one Of its
customary meat famines. Mutton is up 10
% cents a pound, and beef is hardly any
cheaper On inquiry at the Offices Of the
wholesale butchers people are told that.
owing to the scarcity Of forage last fall and
winter, ranehmen killed their lambs, and
the supply Of sheep coming into market is
below tie demand. The supply If State
mutton dimlnishes year by year, because
land is becoming too valuable to be wasted
on sheep walks, and because, for many
years, the sheep-raising industry has not
been profitable owing to the low price which
wool commands in the market The dimin-
uuon has perhaps been more marked this
year than usual But If the figures could
be had it would probably appear that the
number Of sheep Las not been greatly re-
duced IN this State, while in Arizona. Ne
vada and Utah there has been an increase.
The advance in the price Of mutton can
more justly be ascTibed to a combination
among the wholesale butchers.
IL is quite an odd coincidence that stimuli
taneously with this gentle turn of the screw
in our meat market, the sbeep-raisers Of
New South Wales should be petilioning
their Legislature for a subsidy TO enable
them to revive the export trade 10 frozen
mutton. That colony can supply the Pacific
States Of the Union with all the mutton
they consume; and the owners OF sheep
walks say that they only want little help
ir0mtaeir Government to undertake the job.
A singular fatality seems to attend the
sheep industry in this State. Within the
past twenty years the product of California
wool has fallen of nearly oBe-balf, and this
ls not the worst. The market price Of our
Wool is lower than that of Ohio, Michigan
or Texas. Buyers complain that 1t is so

READY FOR HEMP.
McNulty, the Murderer of Collins,
Will BE Hanged.
The Supreme Court Decides That the Law
Providing for Executions in San Quentin
Prison Is Constitutional.

There was rafting of the keys of type
machine in the office of the Secretary of the
Supreme Court yesterday that echoed in the
cell of John McNulty. the murderer in the
County Jail. When the long white fingers
OF the operator rested and the keys stood
stiu McNulty's hope for life was dead, for
the purple characters left by the machine
told that the law condemning him 10 be ex-
ecuted in San Quentin prison is cOnstitu-
tlOnal and that he must hang.
The decision was written by Justice Nc
Farland Patterson, Sharpstsin. Garoutte
and Beatty c0ncurred and De Haven and
Harrison dissented. McNulty's only hope
now lies in an appeal to the Supreme Court
Of the United States.
AN AFFIRMATION IN EFFECT
The decision is in effect an affirmation Of
former decision. McNulty appealed on
the ground that the law passed by the last
Legislature requiring muTderers TO be
hanged in the State Prison is uncOnstitu-
tiOnal on the ground that it is retroactive in
that it affected men who had been tried be-
fore it was enacted and in that il was
cruel in separating them from their friends.
The same arguments were used against the
C0nstitutionality If the New York law pro-
Yldng Tor executions by electricity.
The Superior Court says:
Our conclusion is that under section S29 OF me
Political Code The appellant Is 10 b. puh,sIeu
under The law as u existed al the time 81 the
comm ssion of the crime OF which he was con-
Ylcted, aud IN L under this view the sara ACT Oh

The Superior Court, by this decision, IS
now com; eIled TO set a date for McNulty's

pyeme Court, and thirty days are allowed
him 20 appeal
