WORLDS FAIR MATTERS.

Worlds Fair Commissioner de Young is
reported by an evening paper as criticizing
The action Of the State Commissioners in
not devotiug a part Of the money ut their
disposal 10 the California exhibit in the
competitive department This criticism
would be just if the critic had shown that
the State Commissioners have the power to
use the State appropriation as suggested.
II the commissioners are in error in their
construction Of the clause in tile State con-
stItuiion, under which the appropriation
was made, tue error should be pointed out.
II has certainly been very generally held
that tie appropriation could only be ex-
pended under the immediate direction of
State officials. We quite agree with Mr. de
Young that the money would do some good
ii expended in the competitive department.
State exhibits are mere exhibits. They may
not be considered in the reports Of commit
tees awarding prizes and giving favorable
mention. As exhibits they would be at
fractions al an ordinary fair where visitors
had less TO occupy their time. Newspaper
correspondents will have only word for
State exhibits. The competitive exhibits,
which are to GENE under the ordeal Of COM
parison. viii naturally claim their chief
attention But our State Commission has
had to act under the law as it has been
construed. If that construction is wrong it
would be more TO the purpose of the Ma
tionai Commissioners 20 point out the error
than TO hold the State Commissioners re-
sponsible for a clause in the State consti-
tutfou

A MAN AND A CORPORATION.

One difference between man and cor
pOration is that the man dies of physical
necessity, while the corporation may live
tor an indefinite period. This difference
should be considered in providing for the
distribution of estates after the death of the
owner The country may stand the accu-
imitation of capital that may be made dur
ing natural life. but not the accommodations
OF succeeding generations. The fact is now
mentioned with considerable satisfaction
that the death of jay Gould has not mster-
ally affected the stock market. Way should
it? Jay G0uld's So. 600. 900 is held as
firmly as ever. There has been no disiribu-
ton of property and there will be none
The revenue derived from the property
will be distributed among the heirs, but the
property itself will remain in the hands and
under the absolute control of George Gould
In twenty years. without any necessity for
hazardous investment, the property will
double in value, besides complying with
the conditions of the will in respect to the
other heirs. It appears. therefore, that Jay
Gould has projected his personality into and
through an other generation. The man is
dead. but his viii still lives and shapes the
course all things respecting the property he
acc uired shall take.

CHANGES IN THE ELECTION LAW.

1t is expected that the Democratic State
Central Committee will propose number
of amendments to the present election law.
One amendment under consideration is TO
provide for the grouping of candidates un-
der party heading. Such change will
restore 10 party conventions nearly all the
power the recent decision of the Supreme
Court took from them. 1t viii make con-
Vention nomination nearly as valuable TO
candidate as ever. The elector will make
a cross opposite the party heading and Will
have voted straight ticket. The proper
ton of votes cast straight under this ar
rangement would be about as large as IN
der the old law. When the Supreme Court
decided against party headings on the Off
cal ballot it placed candidates upon an
equality. 1t becomes as easy TO vote for an
independent candidate as for one n0nli-
mated by convention This is precisely
what the bosses do not want A convention
nomination is Of comparatively little value
unless it carries with 1t the bulk of the
party vote. There are minor points upon
which the law may be amended with profit.
There should be better facilities for voting
and for counting. 1t might be well to sepa-
rate The functions of election officers from
those OF 8 counting board. The counting
should be done by competent men under
conditions that Till make false reading i'm
possible. a method which keeps the result
of an election from being officially an
n0Unced seven weeks after the election
should be done away with. These defects
in the present law should be Iemeiied, but
tile principle Of the Law should be observed.

A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFER
ENCE.

The opinieniis advanced that there is no
conflict between the decision made at New
Orleans in regard TO the validity of the
Geary act and the more recent decision of
Judge Mehenna in this State. The same
points, it is said. were not presented 10 the
two cases. 1t appears, however. that Judge
Billings decision ordered the discharge of
a Chinese held on charge of being unlaw-
fully in The country, while the decision OF
Judge MeKenna declares that there is no
difficulty in sustaining all the acts relating
10 the exclusion of Chinese. Judge Billings
turned Chinaman arrested under one Of
the acts over to the authorities to be dealt

THE CITY HOLDS THE KEY.

There are indications that certain men,
bers Of the Traffic Association who at one
time were half persuaded that the Southern
Pacific Company were anxious to make San
Francisco a distributing point for the rest
of the State have concluded that the asso-
citation should continue the policr il has
pursued the past year. The EUening BulIe-
TN says: over two-thirds Of the merchants
who signed the address have come to the
front and expressed their views without
qualification" These views are to the effect
that the Southern Pacific Company have
made false represen tations for the purpose
Of obtaining signatures, and thus dividing
the association into hostile camps. The
opinion is now general that the water routes
are the only key to the solution Of the

silver arguments in the Senate which no one

stration. But his argument was addressed
to minds already closed to such appeals.
