A howl, great in volume but minor IN
tone, now goes up to heaven because
President Harrison appointed Tennes-
see Democrat to the Sunpreme bench of
the United States. 1t is the same cry
which was heard when the Irishman
sheared the pig. 1t has not yet been
claimed that the appointment was not an
excellent one in point of fitness for place,
nor has it been satisfactorily shown that
it was anybody's business save the presi-
dents.
1t seems to require large amount of
demonstration to convince Brother Allis
that the last election was quite general
ly admitted a Democratic victory. Here
he saws in his Shore Line Times:
"As we have held all along. If elected, Grover
cleveland will give the country an administra'
ton in which good sense and independence will
play a conspicuous part"
stIf elected" very we'll fits the present
temperature. We are lost in admiration
of the calm, monumental unbelief which
still questions the result of last Novem-
ber's ballots. But we are forced to the
sad conclusion that Allis' pen slipped.
"A financial expert has figured out that
the liabilities of the American people as
whole, are smaller in proportion to
available wealth and productive capacity
than those of any other nation. Our
assessed wealth of AZ billions is greater
than that Of any other country. What
ever amount foreigners hold of our Sc
curities, they represent the obligation
of the most intelligent, industrious and
progressive body of men ever associated
together for purposes of mutual interest
during the history of the race. National
and savings banks resources aggregate
over 5 1000. .OOO, GOO of the peoples money
Between March IL, 1881, and June Is,

Baron de Worms says: Americans
have no right to annex place thousands
of miles from their territory. The prop
er remedy for the Hawaiian difficulties
would be joint protectorate, simil ar to
that of Samoa. The British and German
population in Hawaii would not allow
the scream of the American eagle to
silence their claims. England would
oppose annexation, and Germany would
be sure to speak" De Worms had bet
ter keep out of the way of our eagle for
he is fond of worms.

Tie DOLLAR LIMIT.

Acting Chief Sullivan is reported as say
Ing that the dollar limit is q curse to the
city. The dollar limit supplies, with other
sources of revenue, about s., GOO. 600 for the
government Of the city. Leaving out the
Item of interest, this is a larger sum per
head than any Eastern city expends. Il is
more than half Of the available revenue OF
Chicago, city with three times the popula-
ton of San Francisco. II the Fire Depart
ment is as deficient in the means of fighting
dres as acting Chief Sullivan represents it
must be because It's revenues nave been
wasted. 1t may be more effective as polit-
cal machine than as a 6re-fightiDg machine
Possibly The acting Chief is right in attrib-
uting the cily's escape from sweeping con-
dagrati0ns 10 good luck. There are two or
three facts which the Fire Department and
all other departments may as well consider
established One is that the dollar limit is
here to stay. Under an honest management
Of affairs it furnishes all the money the city
uaeds. No official in the Fire Department
or in any other department of the govern
ment should indulge 10 the hope that the
taxpayers are going TO supply any depart
ment with all the money 1t can throw away.
II the city is in the unprotected condition
acting Chief Sullivan represents tile fault
lies with the men who have had the hand
ling Of the money. There is no reason in
the nature OF things why San Francisco
should eXpend mere money on its Fire De-
partment than Eastern cities of correspond
ing size. A little more attention to the work
of the department and considerably less to
the political machines would soon place the
department in a condition to do effective

SILENT INFLUENCES.
W York Tribune says:

The New York Tribune says:
The outeo OF gold, The pressure in the mon ey
markets, the depression in Wall street, are not
results Of anything President Cleveland has done
or failed to do. They are the direct ana natural
result OF the success OF his party, with It's new
policy, evidently dangerous. though not as yet
distinctly defined. Because 1t Is unknown that
policy is regarded by the business world with
The more apprehension. Its general tendency
men infer, and have a right 10 infer, from the
actions OF the party in tile past.
Apprehension Of an evil is often az bad as
the evil itself. The prudent business man
prepares for conditions which may exist.
The wool-gr0wer who expects to see his
product exposed to competition from coun-
tries which can produce wool cheaper then
he naturally contracts his business opera
tons. So with the fruit-growers. So with
every branch of agriculture which is con-
scious of needing and receiving protection.
But on most agricultural products the cost
OF freight Is an item in favor of the home
producer. The apprehension the agrieulr-
urist feels in respect to change Of policy
is not so great as that which disturbs tho
prospects of manufacturers. The Demo-
cratic administration has as yet made no
change In the Republican fiscal policy.
The present tariff will doubtless continue
some months longer. But manufacturers
who are just making both ends meet under
the present tariff are rather contracting than
extending their operations. They do not
know how deep a cut will be made in duties
In the line Of goods they are producing.
They are not preparing to 90 out of bust
ness, but as a rule are not planning new
enterprises. They perhaps gradually re-
duce their working force, and propose to let
things drift until they know exactly under
what conditions they will have to work in
the future. While there are idle men in the
manufacturing centers. there is an increase
in importations. For the first time In years
our imports exceeds our exports. The free
trader says that this cannot be due to tariff
changes, because there have been no tariff
changes. A Democratic administration can
not be held responsible, because as yet the
Democratic administration has done moth
ing. The free-trade argument Is not so
sound as at the first glance it seems. Pre-
pairing for storm is often a period of as
much anxiety as is experienced when the

HAND IN HAND.

Sir William HarcouTt, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, has announced that il the Brus-
sells Monetary Conference be resumed Eng
land will oppose every bimetallic scheme
proposed. The English Finance Minister
has become frank since Cleveland was In
augurated. BE is hand in hand with the
American President. Englands position on
the silver question is easily understood
Being creditor nation 10 a fabulous
amount il has an interest In increasing
the purchasing power of money. To this
end Il proposes 10 demonetizs silver and to
devolye upon gold the work hitherto done
by both metals. 1t is simple problem in
easy arithmetic 10 determine the effect Of
striking cut Of existence given proportion
Of what has in the past constituted the
worlds stock of money
But If the English single gold-standard
policy is comprehensive the reasons why
the United States should aid and abet In
carrying ont that policy do not appear.
England being creditor nation wants to
increase the purchasing power of money.
But the United States Is In its relations
with Earope a debtor nation. A large
amount Of American bonds are owned
abroad. Tens OF millions of dollars 20
abroad each year in the form Of profits on
American properties owned In Europe.
Under these conditions it is not to the bene-
fit Of the United States TO increase the pur-
chasing power Of money. But Cleveland
and his admirers follow in the track
marked out by Europe without apparently
q suspicion that they are being made use of.

TURNING THE COLD SHOULDER.

Il is evident that the people of the Ha-
waiian Islands feel that the United States
has turned toward them the cold shoulder.
In the Dique of the moment it will not be
strange If tenders are made In another
direction. But nothing is moro certain
than that in the end the islands will be
annexed. There may be trouble about it,
but the political emergency which attracts
them to the United States has almost the
force of natural law. For the next few
months gentleman named BlOunt will be
looking the islands over in search OF some
signs of popular feeling which will justify
the course Of Cleveland In rejecting the
treaty. If he does not find some justfica-
ti9n the political skies of his chief will be
darkly clouded. AS the ex-Queen has been
notified Of his coming and Of the purpose of
his visit it will be singular if she has not
prepared demonstration by the time Mr.
Blount arrives, which will to an extent
justify the delay. 1t has been intimated
that Mr.. Blount wOnld not get more cor
rect view of the political situation than has
been presented through public journals.
But elements may be at work when Mr..
Blount arrives which were dormant when
the newspaper reports were written.

many leader, is man of broad vision, he
will probably perceive that if Tammany
persists in its refusal of the fair offer of the
Republicans its action win be attributed to
a purpose TO profit by controlling the city
election boards. AS our New York contem-
porary says. the people demand honest cleo
tioDs and honest supervision and counting
of votes They are waking up to the mag
nitude of the crime of fraudulent voting
or fraudulent counting. They are begin
ming to realize more clearly than ever be-
fore that crimes against the franchise are
the most deadly form of treason against
the Government. The nation now casts
about 100000 votes. There is never a
popular majority Of more than from 100000
to 100000 votes. But O. 100000 voters submit
readily to g. 200, 900 because the fundamenta tai
principle of republic is that the majority
shall rule. But when there is reasonable
certainty that a popular majority is OBJ
tanned by false voting or false counting,
the minority is certain to protest. The end
is civil war and the man on horseback"

POWER FOR FACTORIES.

It is inspiriting to sea begin ming made by
San Francisco capitalists in utilizing some
of the immense sources Of power latent in
the rivers and mountain streams of this
State. The Blue Lakes Company has two
strings to its bow in the supply of water for
domestic and factory uses and the supply
of light and power. Railroads. as well rs
the machinery Of factories. could be
operated by the agency of water supply
so abundant, and tbs times are such that
the opportunity should not be neglected. A
beginning has also been made to make use
Of the waters of The M0kelumne River.
Stockton is, in the first instance. TO have the
benefit, and the company which undertakes
the enterprise, although composed of San
Francisco capitalists, has the title of the
Stockton Power Transmission Company.
An electric road is to be operated between
Stockton and Lodi, and probably much
more can be done in railroad work up and
down valley lands abou as fiat as table
and entailing minimum expense for grad.
ing and track-laying. Stockton already has
done well In manufacturing. industry, but
with great reservoir of power in cleo
tTlelty 1t may advance in numerous indus
tries as yet uncOusidered. 1t has both
water and railroad transportation, and it
can hold these advantages and compel fair
terms Of service. Electric railroads will
add to its facilities. With electric power
the city should be able to branch out In the
manufacture Of wooden fabrics extensively.
1t is poor enterprise in this State that a
single pound Of wool should be sent East
as raw material for clotn factories. when
the wool could be worked up in mills on the
srot and market found for the cloth, too.
We should export cloth. not wool. Electric
power derived from our rivers should cor
rect this economic blunder, especially as
the power ought to be cheap-perhaps
cheaper than fuel in Pennsylvania or CJl-

WHO IS THE HEIR !?

1t appears from report on the Melon
aid case that an estate of 100000 or there
abouts is hardly sufficient to leave anything
for the real heir if there are any law ques-
tons depending upon his claim to the
estate. In the case of young Mcdonald a
$4,000 share in an estate which sold for
Sl05,444 is whitfield down pretty low. It
cost S4279 to sell the estate. How much it
will cost to establish young MeDonald's
right to third will not be known until the
Probate Court has passed upon the demands
OF his attorneys. One thinks he ought to
have $4,000. The other two will take less.
II the boy comes out with clear $40, 900 he
will be fortunate. Legal services come
high when the man who performs them
can place his own estimate upon their value.
