A SYMPOSIUM.

The Examiner claims TO have inter-
viewed the several members of the Board
of Supervisors and TO have found all
anxious to let the Chief of the Fire De-
partment name the terms upon which he
will continue to serve the city. There is
remarkable unanmity in favor of disre-
garding both law and people. According
to the Examiner it never seems to have
occurred to any of these officials that
city of 100000 inhabitants which taxes IL
self one way and another to the extent of
about S5,OO0,000 year, with only such
infTactions of the dollar limit as the Legis-
lature has outlined. ought to get along
on its legitimate revenue. But there
is an opening for the boodler.

Mr.. Charles Webb Howard of the Spring
Valley Water Company is reported as say
ing that his company will permit the Su-
peryisors to put up all the hydrants they
think necessary and will only collect this
year on the hydrants now in use. Ac-
cordng to Mr.. Howard it does not matter
to the water company whether it collects
anything from the city. as the company
claims 6 per cent on its capital and work
ing expenses as due from some sources. II
not pay anything the rate-paye must pay
more. The company has nothing TO do
with the equities of the question. The
Supervisors. acting for the city corpora
ton, may divide this amount to be
paid as they may think just and right.
Mr.. Toward says that it is agreed this year
that the water company shall be paid
$780, ,O00 this being the sum interest and
operating expenses are represented as
amounting to. So that he gets his 81 ,600,-
900 he does not much care who pays it. the
city or the rate-payers. II may never have
occurred to Mr.. Howard that 81, 100000 is
an enormous sum for city of 300, 900 to
pay for water. 1t is S5 80 for each indi-
vidual in the city. For an average family
of five persons it is a little over S26 a
year. OF course, Mr.. Howard will claim
that tie stockholders of the water COM
pany have just right to interest on their
investment, but when lump sum is
claimed on the ground that so much
Is required TO pay interest there should

It is little hard on rate payers to have to
pay rates to make improvements with and
then be made to pay interest on the value
of improvements made with their money.
But just now. between elections, every
thing goes. The water company is to
have all the water it wants. A Fire De-

more money than other cities get along

allowed all the money it claims TO need.

lation Mr.. Hill did not cnndescend to say.
But looking through the clouds with
which Mr.. Hill enveloped his ideas
we can conjecture that be intended to
say that the enactment of the Sherman law
was futile effort to regulate financial con-
ditions. We imagine that he intended to
say that the relative value of gold aud
silver could not be affected by legislation
But the relative value of gold and silver
has been affected by legislation The
demOnetiZation OF silver was followed by
depreciation in the market value of that
metal, compared to which other fuctua-
tions were but a rifle on the surface of q
calm sea. Mr.. Hill ought to know that,
while the value of an article may be de-
termined by the law of demand and
supply, any legislation which de-
creases the demand has the same
effect upon the value as legislation
increasing the supply to the same extent.
The diSuse of silver as money most as
suredly decreased the demand for silver.
The effect upon the market was precisely
the same as if legislation had in some way
increased the supply to the same extent
1t is only reasonable to suppose that the
reconciliation of silver will increase the
demand for it and thereby increase the
market price, but it is utterly impossible
to avoid that conclusion. The only real
question is how to bring back the double
standard with the least disturbance to
values under the single gold standard

TOO MUCH TEMPER.

The temper the Chronicle has shown in
the discussion of the proposition to hold
miniature Worlds Fair in this city next
winter has caused very general inditfer-
ence to the project. Although time was
short the completion of preparations
seemed posi- bic, and there was at first
somewhat general inclination to go ahead
and do the best we could. But few con-
servative expressions of opinion called out
volume of abuse from the Chronicle
which is likely to prove fatal to the enter
prise. The latest ebulliton of temper is
to the effect that opposition is inspired on
The principle that 'one's enemies are those
of his own household" Does this mean
that the fair is opposed because NJ. H. de
Young has announced himself as its
sponsor? What does the reference to
ones enemies being in his own household
mean, any way?

NOT MUCH CHANGE.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson. who has been
credited with taking a hand in the prepara-
ton Of new tariff, expresses the opinion
that the administration will do little with
the tariff for the very good reason that it
will not be able to do much. I'VE are"
says Mr.. Atkinson. compelled TO face the
situation, in which more revenue and less
law is needed" Mr.. Atkinson is lodging
the question. Revenue can be provided by
a revenue tariff as readily as by pro-
tective tariff. About one-half of our i'm
ports under the Mckinley tariff are on the
free list. Why not put them on the duti-
able list? That is what revenue tariff is
for. There are tea. coffee, sugar, specs
and lot of other things that revenue may
be derived from. 1t looks as though the
free-traders were losing courage. Waiter
son is about the only game man Of the lot.

A LOOK AHEAD.
An Eastern paper says:


The ability of the Government to maintain
gold payments is beyond all question. Our
credit Is the very highest in the world, and, as
ex-Consul-Gene New, who has just returned
from London, says. London capitalists would
fall over each other" 10 buy new bond issue
If the rate OF interest were any way reasonable
There is no doubt whatever of the abil-
ity of the Government to float gold-bond
issue of almost any magnitude. If good
interest were offered such bond issue
would be a higher bid for gold than any
European country has yet made. The
higher bid is apparently what the advo-
Gates of the gold standard want. II
Europe and America will bid against each
other for gold its market value will GER
tainly increase. In exactly The same pro-
portion the market value of commodities
will decrease. In other words, people who
are not living on the interest of their
money will have to do more work for the
same amount of money than now. as they
do more now than they did twenty years
ago. Wheat for example. is quoted at its
gold price, and it has not been so low in
recent years as at present.
The present administration proposes to
maintain the gold standard and to reduce
the duties on such kinds of foreign goods
as we make in competition with European
countries. Reducing the duties will GER
tainly cause an increase Of imports. Every
dollars worth of goods bought abroad
must be paid for in gold. The American
people will have TO sell farm products in
Europe at low gold prices to liquidate as
far as possible the Obligations Incurred
through increased importations.

MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY.

The advantages of city owning its
water supply are too obvious to require
argument or illustration. A city which
owns its own water works provides for its
growth on economic principles. Whatever
profit arises, independently Of the gain to
health by good sanitation and an ample
supply of one of the prime necessities of
life at the cheapest rate. accrues to the
community as a whole and may be used
for ordinary municipal expenditure. An
example of what may be done in this wav
is afforded by Birmingham in England
This municipality, with population of
over 100000, owns its own water works
and has acquired powers to procure a fresh
supply of great purity from the mountains
of Wales. The project is to cost $50. .00O.-
600. To defray this about S150.000 a year
in addition to the receipts from the pres
ent works is necessary. 1t is not pro-
posed to add to taxation. at least openly.
1t is only the intention to bring the
water rates back to the figure they stood at
some years ago. The corporation made

A FLOP.

One of the oldest things recently seen in
journalism is the flop of the Eraminer to
the Buckley wing of the Democratic party.
Last NOvem Der when the municipal can
vass was In progress the public were as
sured by this veracious journal that boss
rule had been overthrown. To that as
surance combined with the unpopularity
of the Republican bosses the Democrats
are indebted for their present place of
honor at the public crib. There are few
such plums in the political world as the
control of San Francisco affairs. There
are S5,000000 of revenue without any con-
siderable exemption from assessment
This city has practically no debt and con-
sequently little or no interest to pay. The
whole S5,00O000 is fair prey and the
bOOdlers are trying to increase it.

two succeeding years amounting to $780,
600 year. BY reimposing less than the
RENTED amounts the city will have in
come enough 10 pay for the works and
clear off the total Indebtedness. The pres
ent water income of Birmingham is $780,
600. and an addition of 90 per cent is suffi-
cieDt to cover the cost of the new supply
In similar way the city has the means to
add to its gas plant or to lay down electric
lighting plant out of the profits which
come from the supply of gas. 1t is very
remarkable how these problems of good
municipal government have been worked
out satisfactorily in a number of the Eng
lish and Scotch towns; but, strange to say,
they are not solved in London, which is at
the mercy of dividend earning companies.
But London has water supply commits

The pluck of the Whitney Express peo
pie is cOmmendable. They are getting
abundant evidence of good will in the
tangible shape of more freight than they
can handle during some hours of the day.
AS it is necessary to meet this encourage
ment in the way it deserves, they have re-
solved to put two additional steamers of
proper ferry construction on the route as
soon as possible. One of these steamers is
down the coast and will soon be adapted
to its new uses, and the other is to be con-
structed. Thus will come into existence
the first ferry of any consequences in CON-

Lady. Drawing Large Houses.
Since the new management has assumed
charge Of the Temple on Turk street the
attendance has increased nightly, until
now standing room is almost at premium.
Nj. j. Hudson, the present owner and
manager, has secured the best talent OBJ
tainable, and as reward of his efforts to
please the public the house is thronged by
an appre ciative audience at each perform
ance. Miss Mabel Hudson, the leading
lady and the chief attraction at the Tenn

crowded houses are due, is from New
York, where she was reared and educated.
AT very early age her voice gave great
promise of development. and her father
gave it such cultivation as was obtain BILE
at the hands Of local teachers. When
quite young she sang in Nibl Gardens,
and at concerts and entertainments she
was always in demand, and was among
the most popular amateur vocaliSts in the
city. She was amiable and engaging in
manner, and her successes did not turn
ner head; and 50 it was that she was uni
versally beloved.
She studied under the celebrated teacher
of vocal music. Nine. Cappania, herself for
years leading opera singer, and whose
methods have received the very highest
ity In this country and Europe. Under
such tutor Miss Hudso on's voice improved
wonderfully, and when she was heard in
concert In san Francisco her delighted au-
dlence showered applause and flowers
upon her, insisted upon encore after
encore, and would hardly allow her to es-
cape. On the first night that she sang in
this city the wealth. fashion. beauty and
cnlValrY assembled at the theater TO do her
nonor. and when she appeared before the
plause which greeted her it was the proud
est moment of her life. Her every ap-
peafance during the evening was the
signal for fresh outburst OF applause,
ana the stage was strewn with flowers.

such distinction bear her honors-only
