TARIFF STUDIES.

We very much regret that Mr.. Moffett has
concluded his consideration Of the Mckinley
tariff, which has been continued from week
TO week in the Examiner. He has succeeded
fairly well in showing that the Mckinley
tariff has transferred several industries from
Europe TO this country. In last Mondays
issue Of that journal he says:
In spite OF all their traps for the importers we
have bought more foreign wool since the Mchin-
ley bin was passed than we did before.
OF course We have. 1t was the purpose of
the Mckinley bill that We should. We have
bought raw wool and made it into cloth in
this country instead Of buying foreign cloth.
The work of making the wool into cloth has
been done in this country, and the cloth
costs no more than it did three years ago.
Again the Examiner contributor says:
The old tariff taxed playing eards at 100 per
cent The Mckinley tariG is 90 cents pac'.
This amounts 10 Ouly % or 90 per cent on the
hne cards that might be imported by a million
aife club. but It Is about 800 per cent on the
check pasteb0ards with which poor family
passes away the winter evening.
The tax en- imported cards has given home
manufacturers nearly complete possession
of tile market. Ire poor family whies
away tie winter evening with a very fair
quality Of cards that cost at the statoners
at retail from Is to % cents pack If
millionaire club wants TO import cards they
can do 50 by paying the duties, but it can
fad excellent homemade cards in the
market.

IN THE WRONG PLACES.

The City Fathers occasionally show a
lively regard for the city's interest. but it
does not always appear in the right place
Ten Supervisors voted 20 give franchises
which practically exclude all lines Of street
cars except What is known as the Market
street system from the district west Of Cen
trail avenue, and about the same number Of
Supervisors ara fighting for the last dollar
that can be got out Of the Federal Govern
ment for the portion Of the City Cemetery
needed for Qualifications. There does not
seem 70 be any consideration Of the uses 20
which the land IS to be devoted. It is GER
taiTiy quite as important to San Francisco
that Qualifications should be constructed as
it is to the Federal G Ternment. Yet a
Board Of Supervisors that gives the South
era Pacific Railroad Company all the fran
chjsss il ask 5 for is trying to get from the
Federal Government a little more than
al the land it desires to acquire would be
worth for business purposes. This is a
penny wise and pound foolish policy. It
is in keeping with the course adopted by
tie P0st0fice Commission in trying TO get
ever 81, O00, 900 for $500 600 lot. We hope In
time 10 see our municipal affairs in the
hands OF men who viii take a more patri-
otic view Of things. The Federal Govern
ment proposed to expend $4,000 OF so in
Construct 2 Posto1iee for San Francisco.
We meet this proposition with an effort TO
sell the Government site at three times its
assessed value. The Government again
proposes 10 expend S5,GOO.OOo or SO in forth
fcati0ns 10 protect the city. We meet this
proposition by a demand tor a sun for the
siteeof the Notifications in excess of its pres
ent value FOR business purposes Truly VI
show Our greed in the wrong places.

OUR sENAToKIAL A1PIKANrs.

a Mime apolis correspondent Of a Demo-
cratic paper says concerning the political
situation: 1T would be easier 70 bring
about unanimous vote in the California
delegation if the two candidates for United
states Senator were not in the delegation
and If some of the delegation had not been
offended by the attempt 10 count them be-
fore they had voted" The two candidates
for United States Senator here referred to
are self-nomInated. The Republican party
will not go into the election with an
ayowed intention Of electing either il sue
cessful in carrying the Legislature. Al
though the party did not pass resolutions

EoUIYoCATIoN.

Mr. Huntington, president OF the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company, addressed a
letter to MIR. Mills. also connected with the
same company. few days since. which is
so entirely different in tone from his pre-
vious communications that we cannot but
think a change has come over the spirit Of
his dreams. The communication is neither
so blunt nor threatening as has been his
language in some Instances. Perhaps
he believes it best to use smooth Ian
guage at least when addressing our citizens,
but of this we will speak more at length
hereafter. La Mr.. Huntington's communi-
cation we find the following sentence

Mr. Huntington has usually been given

assertions, but is there quality Of this de-
scription in the quotation which we have
given? For men who count their property by

Rudyard Kipling's contributions to the
London Times are paid for at the rate of

Cardinal Manning did not leave property

The age of the youngest Confederate

Colonel Thomas Z. Rose of the Seventy
seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, who is
said to have designed the Libby Prison tun-

TIRE COSvENTIoN TO-DAY.

The National Republican Convention
meets at Minneapolis to-day 10 nominate
a President and Nice-President OF the
United States and to adopt resolutions for
the party to make the canvass upon. The
convention will do nothing to-day but
organize and appoint committees. 1t IS not
expected that the temporary organization
will furnish test of the strength Of the
two candidates. A certain advantage will,
however, be with one wing OF the other
through the power of the temporary chair
man 10 appoint committees. The naming
Of candidates will in all probability be con-
flied 70 two-Harrison and Blaine. The
dark horses will remain in the background
until the relative strength Of the principal
candidates has been tested. There is no
reason why the contest between Harrison
aud Blaine should not be friendly. The
one that loses will be expected TO give
hearty support TO his successful rival. Un-
less this requirement is enforced the strength

I1O PER CENT.

Dir. Leeds continues his exasperating
suggestions to the Railroad Commission.
His latest communication shows that the
Southern Pacific charges for service 10 per
cent more than twice as much as the North
ern Pacific charges for corresponding dis
tances west from St. Paul. The comparison
IS made from points along the main lines of
both roads. Mr. Leeds accompanies the
figures with the suggestion that the COM
mission proceed 10 Go its plain duty under the
law. 1t IS not probable that the commission
will accept tie suggestion in the humOr in
which it was made. Since The advent Of

IN PERSONAL PROPERTY.

Assessor Siebe has found personal prop
erty amounting, as assessed, to S74, 4j2, 347.
The increase is within few thousand OF
$1,000, 600. This is a rather pleasant sur
prise for a city that has been complaining
for the past year Of dull times OF course,
there is always the question whether the
increase is real or ImaginaTY-w ther
there is actually mere property than last
year. or whether higher values have been
placed upon property than last year. If
the increase results even partially from as
sessments on property that last year
escaped the Assessors eje there is a gain
to the community. 1t is quite probable in
spite Of complaint of duh times, that the
bulk of the increase is genuine.
