PROUD OF THEM.

Upon his return from Berlin ex-Minister
Phelps described an interesting incident in
taking farewell of tbs Emperor. His
Majesty drove fifteen miles to receive our
new Minister. General Runyon, and TO say
good-by to Mr.. Phelps. The interview
with the latter was very cordial and chatty
So much may be inferred from the re-
mark of tie Emperor: Come, now,
Phelps. you will agree with me that my
subjects who have emigrated 10 the United
States have proved themselves the best
citizens there" This was very direct
way of extracting compliment and it re-
CURED a diplomatic answer. Mr.. Phelps
replied that the Germans are highly ap-
precated and are among our best citizens,
an Endorsement which all will agree to,
but be prefaced it with the emphatic
opinion that he thought the native-born
Americans make good citizens. When his
heredity is analysed the American citizen
is complex. All the European races are
eligible for American citizenship, and in
two or three generations it is compare
lively difficult to find pure types of any
nationality. The absorption has proceeded
TO such degree that the New England
type, the sturdy independent stock which
has been the animating principle of our
national life, is far from being the pre-
vailing one. 1t is almost time 10 modify
the pictorial conventionaism of Uncle
Sam, for he is now composite being
There is happily no keeping apart of races
in the United States, as in Austria and
Hungary, where there are score of differ
ent people speaking different languages,
with different traditions and unfortunate
antipathIes. Tine blending proceeds
rapidly. There are far more descendants
of Germans born in the United States
than of Germans from the Fatherland,
and so with other races. This augurs
well for the unity of the country A time
will come when European emigration must
seek other lands for settlement, as the
population of the United States will be
sufficient for its own soil. When that day
arrives homogeneous people will have
been evolved out of heterogeneous ele-
mentS.

PLACE = HOLDERS IN CONVEN-
TIONS.

During the last municipal campaign the
holding of Republican convention caused
numerous vacancies in the business offices
of the several departments. The CALL at
the time gave the names of delegates who
were holding good places in the public
service. The fact that piace-hOders were
having so much to say about nominations
had 4 good deal to do with the defeat
which the party met in November. The
Board of Supervisors will soon be called to
consider a proposition to exclude from
municipal employment delegates to con-
ventiOns except in cases OF such delegates
as may be elected by the popular vote. 1t
is argued that the public service will be
improved by the exclusion of delegates
whose claim to place rests largely upon
the influence they brought to bear to re-
ceive this or that nomination. 1t some
times happens that competent clerks are
the efficient members of convention. But
in most cases candidates for office parcel
out their appointments among delegates in
consideration of political support. The
more powerful the support the higher
the reward. Fitness to perform du-
ties is secondary consideration. if it is
Considered at all. 1t is probable that the
difficulty of conducting the Government ON
the dollar limit arises largely from the
great proportion of high-salarief clerks,
whose places were gained by work in eau
cuSes, primaries and conventions.

A QUESTION OF CURRENCY.
IN Eastern contemporary says:

An Eastern contemporary says:
The Government of the United Statesiis not
morally bound 10 buy silver bullion to help out
the silver miners, any more than it is bound TO
buy coouskns TO aid the fur hunters.
Our Eastern friend does not grasp the
silver question. Silver miners are no
more considered in legislation to restore
silver to its use as money than seal hunters
are in the Paris arbitration court The
silver question is entirely question Of
currency. The silver industry has not
been considered as a remote interest,
which, like other industries, would be
benefited by wise laws and injured by
foolish ones. The real question that Con-
gress had 10 consider was il half the money
OF the world should be destroyed. That
the consequence of such destruction would
be a corresponding increase in the pur-
chasing power of the other half can be
demonstrated by the unerrng logic of
mathematics. Creditor nations and credi-
tor communities favor the policy which
will increase the purchasing power of
money. while debtor nations and debtor
communities oppose policy which will
not allow them to sell more merchandise
for given number of dollars than when
their DEBTS were created.

THE DUTY OF COUNSEL.

The Borden case has called forth good
many expressions of opinion as to the duty
of counsel in cases Of this character. 1t is
asked on one hand why. if the counsel for
the defense believed that Miss Borden was
innocent, they should desire to exclude
her own testimony at the inquest. An
other thinks the counsel for the prosecu-
ton went to extremes in making up case
against her. In reply it may be said that
it is the duty of counsel to go to extremes
in making up their case. These extremes,
however, should be limited to testimony
that is true or not kown to be false. The
counsel for the defense were quite right in
excluding testimony that might confuse
the understandings of the jurors. They
had a right to make out the best case they
could for the defense without manufactur-
ing evidence. If it should appear that
counsel for the State brought witnesses
upon the stand knowing that it was their
intention to commit perjury it will be held
that they passed the limit of the extreme
which the ethics of their profession per-
NIT. But the State could not refuse 10
put reputable witnesses on the stand even
if counsel entertained doubts as TO the
exact truth of the statements they pro-
posed 10 make. The wide range obtained
in cross-examination IS protection against
perjury. In the Borden case it is evident
that there was premeditated purpose TO
procure Miss B0rden's conviction. 1t does
not follow, however, that counsel for the
people were parties to it, They were re-
Quired to present the evidence that was
offered, leaving the other side TO sft its
tTuth.

ONE THING AT A TIME.

The Palermo Progress reads San Fran
cisco capitalists a lecture for their coDserv-
atism in the matter of building transcon
tinental railroads. 1t reproaches this city
for allowing the Salt Lake project to LAPSE
aid urges it to accept the offer of Denver
capitalists to build half way to San Fran
cisco. In answer to the structures Of the
Progress it may be stated that after sur
vey of the whole field of operations the
business men of this city came tn the con-
clusion that the most effective plan Of re-
lief from excessive railroad charges was
10 establish water communication between
this city and Eastern cities and to form
the closest possible connections between
this city and interior points of distribu-
ton. In working out this plan the Salt
Lake Railroad would have been of no i'm
mediate assistance. 1t win come in time
to enable San francisco to reach as far as
possible toward Denver and Chicago. But
the first thing to do was to esta blish ocean
connections. Between the clipper ships
and the North American Navigation
Steamship Company this part of the work
may be said to be done. In very short
time the Cape Horn and the Panama routes
will deliver merchandise in this city
at the lowest possible cost aud in quant-
ties to suit. The next step Is 20 improve
the waterways and build railroads con-
Meeting heads of navigation points with
surrounding territory. The proposed San
Joaquin Railroad is an instance. This
road can be built in e quarter of the time

FINANCIAL FACTS.

The Government has been conducted so
long on fictitious financial basis that even
well-informed public men sometimes fail
to distinguish between statutes and treas
ury rulings. The Bon. BOurke Cochran fell
into an error OF this nature in his recent
article in the North american ReUjelC.
Mr.. Cochran said in reference to treasury
notes issued under the Sherman silver-pur-
chasing act that the law required the treas
ury to redeem them in gold ''or in an
amount of silver equivalent TO their face
value in gold" There is no statute autheriz-
ing the paying out oil silver except at its le-
gal valuation-412h grains to the dollar.
Mr.. Cochran being gold man declared a
law in existence which he thought perhaps
ought 10 be in existence
Again, we find the Chicago Tribune in
doubt whether green backs are legally pay
able in silver. The Tribune gives the fol-
lowing table and comments thereon:
The fiscal statement of January 1, 1893,
shows five months ago there were outstanding
IN the hands of the public:
Silver certificates 1922 1882
Silver treasury notes (under sher-
crr man aGD ~ 6Q3'd 80
Silver paper. total ............... $47l 573, IT'S
u
Total redeemable in silver " S643, 496,574
And the Government Is holding Up all this
mass OF circulating currency with only about
$900o0,000 Of available gold. But what Of the
S319 ,000, 900 in greenbacks outstanding ut the
beginning OF this year? Can they be redeemed
also in light. weight silver dollars al the option
of the Governor emit? If So the silver paper
then outst anding exceeds 762. 100000 of notes,
making IS of paper TO 81 of gold pledge for the
specific redemption of some Of IL and equally
pledged 10 maintain all the rest at par with
gold.
The act of Congress authorizing the
coinage of 4l2R grain silver dollars dis
tinctly declares such dollars legal tenders
for all purposes. It was optional with
the Treasury Department to use them
in payment of the public debt and in
the redemption of greenbacks. but the De-
partment has never awaited itself Of that
opinion. Had it done so the United
States would have been put on a bimet-
tallic basis in 1878. Bonds would never
have reached the premiums they
commando during the Harrison adj
mlnlstration, and. on the other hand,
silver would not in all proba bility have
reached the point il is now sold at.
Again Mr.. Cochran says the resumption
act authorizes the Secretary of the Treas
ury to borrow whatever gold may be nee
essary to redeem greenbacks. In this
MIR. Cochran is mistaken. The resump-
ton act does not authorize the Secretary
OF the Treasury to borrow gold except as

TOO MUCH ADVICE.

Democratic journals in the interior have
narrowed down the Governors choice for
Senator to two or three men. The disin-
terestedness of our Democratic contem-
pGraries would be in a less degree subject
to suspicion il the appointment of any one
of the three met with any favor among
Republicans. The signs of the time point
to 1894 az Republican year. The incapa-
city of Mr.. Cleveland to devise a policy to
take the place of that he denounced in
1892. has impaired the confidence the peo-
pie once had in him. The Republicans of
this State cannot fail to reap advantage
from this loss of confidence, unless the
conditions under which the election of
1892 was lost are substantially repeated
The observation is in order, however, that
Governor Markham will not allow the
Democrats to name the Senator.
