We are told that international
agreement is necessary to restore
silver to its ancient right as full
money metal. Those who suggest
such an agreement forget that while
this nation is borrower of money
the first and principal nation to de-
monetize silver is the greatest money
lender known to history. Is it for a
moment to be supposed that the
shrewd English creditor classes will
enter into any agreement which will
deprive them of the spoils OF so deli
cate and ingenious a system of usury,
system not only not banned by law
but, on the contrary, having the
special approval and protection ol
statutes, and the active support and
approval of all the complaisant NOR.

TIE Two-THIRDs RULE.

In a Republican convention composed Of
goo delegates Al nominate a Presidential
candidate but in a Democratic convention
composed Of an equal number Of delegates
Col would be required to nominate. Tie
twc-thirds rule was adopted by the Demo
cratic party many years ago. the object at
the time being TO prevent a Northern ma
j0Tity from nominating a candidate whom
the South would consider as hostile to its
peculiar institution. The rule has proved
fatal TO more than one Presidential aspirsnt.
but in the main it has worked well. 1t is
not unreasonable to require an aSpirant 10
command the support OF two-thirds OF his
party as a condition Of his nomination.
In the present campaign, while Mr.. Cleye-
land has apparently about the same proper
ton Of the delegates that Harrison had in
the Republican convention, his nomination
is by no means SO probable as was the
nomination Of Harrison when the Republi-
can convention convened. All the friends
Of Harrison had to do was to hold the votes
he went into the convention with; but
Cleveland has to hold bis own and win over
about leo others. Mr.. Hill, therefore who
is the Blaine Of the Democratic convention.
will find it easier 10 keep 800 delegates from
AL4E- 20 LEV clduu tl-ED u WAS lUI DIANE
friends to hold $50 from going to Harrison.
While Hill himself has not so good 4 chance
Of being nominated as Blaine had, be is
much more likely 10 succeed in defeating
tie leading candidate.
It is a suggestive feature of the contest
that Mr.. Hill IS represented in the cUnveu-
ton BY much the same class Of politicians
as worked in the Republican convention
for Blaine. There is no more nearly per-
feet political machine in the United States
than IammaDy; nor are there better
political machine workers than the con-
sDieuous leaders of the Blaine movement.
OF course 10 comparison can be made be-
tween Blaine and Hill. Blaine won his
leadership By service in Congress. in the
Cabinet and as the popular advocate of the
principles Of lis party; HIPS leadership is
based entirely upon his association with
Tammany and bis success in the manipula-
tion Of individuals and class interests.

TIE MINNEsOTA CYCLONE.

Detailed accounts of the cyclone of the
15;h in Minnesota sUPply little new in
formation regarding the nature Of these
phenomena. II will be remembered that
the last destructive cyclone took place in
Southern Kansas and was traceable to the
vast areas of rare6ed air in the Indian Ter
rtory and Northern Texas. On this occa-
sion heat was the cause Of the atmospheric
disturbance. There was no extraordinary
development OF heat at the theater Of the
accident on the 10Th. The cyclone origin
ated in jackson County, Minnesota, just
north Of the Iowa line. and pursued an
easterly course as far as Fillmore County,
within a few miles OF the Missouri River.
# adhered strictly 10 the southern tier Of
counties in Minnesota, neither divergiug to
the north toward the rich valley Of the
Minnesota River, where it would have
spread wide destruction; nor crossing the
border into Iowa No meteorological reason
can be assigned either for its beginning
where il began, or for its ending where 1t
ended. il was an isolated phenomenon.
Most of the destructive hurricanes which
devastale the central States along the rivers
originate north of the border, either in
Assiniboia or in the British territory flank
ing the eastern slope of the Rocky MouG-
taiuS; they cross into the United States
somewhere in North Dakota or Montana
and pursue an easterly course to the great
lakes and the Atlantic, with occasional Off
shoots travelling down the Mississippi VAL
ley. This cyclone did not originate in or
near Canada. We have no accounts of dis
aster either in the Dakotas or in Montana !;
Nor was it felt on the east side of the Mis-
souri,. It's field is described as having been
$50 miles long by a quarter of a mile to n
mile broad. It must have had a cause, but
science is not sufficiently developed to
warrant even a conjecture what it was.
The Signal Service Bureau at Washing
ton is doing good work in collecting data
respecting tornad0es, and the British Royal
Meteorological Society is performing the
same work for England and her colonies.
The Signal Service Bureau has limited the
reports of its observers to storms in con-
necti9n with well-defntd, pendent. fun
neI-shaped cloud, with attendant rotary
winds, with sufficient power to uproOt trees
and OyertuTn dwellings along well-maTkcd
path. The prospect is thus fair that we
shall before long be in possession Of such
a mass of facts bearing on cyclones and tor
nad0es that scientific reasoners may evolve
a theory that viii command general assent.

wAsTETULNEss AND TAXATION.

When comments have been made in re-
spect to extravaganza in the management Of
municipal affairs in San Francisco, there
has usually been some newspaper which
would virtually excuse the extravaganza, by
urging that pcnuriOusness was not to be
thought Of in conducting the affairs Of
great and prosperous city. San Francisco,
as those persons who pay taxes reaIlze, ex-
pends large sum Of money annually 10 the
aggregate; so large a sum that taxes have
become actually bUrdensome. OF course high
taxation causes high rents, ard excessive
rents increase the price OF living. This goes
even to the individual who only pays for
board and lodging. San Francisco, by the
use Of extraordinary efforts on the part of
certain newspapers and individuals, has
been kept nearly out Of debt, hence it has
little to pay in the way Of interest money.
This being the case. taxes should be light,
but money goes through the departments
almost as readily as water finds its way
through a sieve. The leaks are in nearly
every quarter; actual wastefulness prevails.
Without including the stealings, the expen-
ditures in San Francisco are entirely too
much. THE CALL has only to direct atten-
ton to the reports which have found pub
Lefty respecting the management Of the
County Hospital within the past few days.
Money, it seems has there been thrown
away Indeed, the wastelulness has been
shocking. Perhaps by directing the atten-
ton Of those officials whose business it
should be to watch over the expenditures of
the city, improvements may be made, not
only in the County Hospital, but in other
quarters where it is needed.

TIE MAYOR EXPLAINS.

At the Saturday meeting Of the Finance
Committee Of the Board of Supervisors
Mayor Sanderson defined his position on
the ple6ge-bTeaking proposition. He IS
now reported as saying that in case the
people demanded it the board would be
justified in setting aside the dollar limit
Precisely how the people can put their de-
mand In an authoritative shape the Mayor
did not say. The pledge was the basis Of
the action OF more than $4,000 voters. How
many Of these $4,000 voters would in the
Mayors estimation release him from an
obligation lie made 10 the whole number?
The Mayor still insists that in case of an
emergency the board would be justified in
breaking the pledge. As nothing in the
nature Of an emergency has yet appeared a
discussion of what shall be done when an
emergency does arise would be premature.
Supervisor BurliBg is reported as saying:
81 am not in favor of breaking the limit but
the public ought to be informed as TO why
the Supervisors cannot appropriate money
fer necessary public improvements" Some
information on this point would be

Is IT MORE MONEY!

II some of our contemporaries who are
urging the formation Of a new city charter,
the making Of which, if undertaken at the
present time, in all probability would fall
into the hands OF men who have done but
little in the past in connection with NUM-
cipal affairs but to assist in squandering our
money, are anxious TO obtain an economical
city government they should try to elevate
proper persons 10 Office. A new city charter,
to be fashioned by the men who have been
plundering Us, would be worthless lnstru-
ment; indeed, to invite such persons to
make new charter and then administer
affairs under ii would be sheer folly. We
would be worse of than we are at present.
THE CALL believes the object with some Of
the persons who are now bowling for a new
city charter TO be to obtain a stronger phil
upon the finances OF the public thar they
now have.

course to be compared with cities in which
water is a charge upon individuals. Why
is it then that we have this yearly howl
against the dollar limit? Why is it tn at
money cannot be voted for necessary i'm
provements? Is it not because a very large
proportion of the money appropriated Is
wasted? If the Mayor and Board of Su-
pervisors should look carefully into the de-
tails of some OF these expenditures would
they not be able 10 give the people the in
formation which Mr.. Burling thinks them
entitled to? 1t is poor encouragement for
people who are taxed as our people are to
hear this annual complaint about the lack
of money to do the things that are needed.
