CLEVELAND'S WAY.

There is marked contrast between Har-
rison's way of doing things and Cleveland's.
Harrison took reasonable pains to inform
himself on pending questions, and acted
upon his information; Cleveland seems to
distrust evidence that does not reach him
through official channels. Harrison took a
broad view Of things, and followed the line
Of action which seemed the wisest under
all the circumstances; Mr.. Cleveland seems
disposed to hesitate over any condition be
does not like. without much regard to tile
alternatives II Harrison's administration
had continued a few months longer the
Hawaiian Islands would have been annexed
before Its expiration. Harrison did not
think II worth while to send an envoy
to the islands TO find ont things that
other visitors could find out just as well. BE
kept steadily in view the alternative of not
annexing the islands. He accepted evil
dence as to the generally admitted fact that
the natives cannot support government
without leaning on some foreign nation !;
and he took good care that the attitude OF
the United States should not incline them to
lean on any other Government than this.

of setting at the point Of long epistle and
skipping the verbiage. Were Senator or
Representative free from this load of per-
sonal care, his time for the broad interests
of the State and nation could be expanded
immensely. Perhaps the thralldom is not
so bad as it was, but it must be borne in
mind that facilities of post, telegraph and
telephone have added greatly to the burdens
as well as to the eonyeniences OF statesman
ship. Two generations ago the Peers and
CommOners of England were in the same
position. They virtually had the power of
getting men appointed to easy positions
through the Government, and they were be-
sieged with applications. BY the introduce
zion of permaneney of service and inde-
pendence during good behavior, all this
power has been abolished. A member of
Parliament has virtually no influence in the
selections for any Offices, and, except for
the highest offices. the Government has
none. The change has left members free
for national duty. They seldom have any
more intimate service to perform for their
constituents than the presentation of petit
tion or the introduction of deputstion.
Congress would he in similar position were
d like alteration of system effected

RESPONSIBILITIES in CONGRESS.

Mr.. Camnetti takes the view that II the
recommendations of the California delega-
ton in the appointment of Office-holders are
not accepted or nnt to be considered by the
heads of departments of the present admin
istration. the delegation will gladly suIren-
der the performance Of the duty heretofore
imposed or assumed in this delicate matter.
The precise words attributed TO Representa-
tive Caminetti are these: 1.-The members
of the California delegation are quite willing
that the responsibility of making these
appointments shall be imposed upon some
one else. Il is source Of great worriment
to us and our trouble is not ALWAYS compen-
sated with gratitude" This is an open and
aboveboard achn owledgment that pique will
not be engendered should the President and
his secretaries of departments assume the
responsibility themselves, but it is az the
same time an intmation that If recommeu-
dations are not acted upon they had better
not be made.
But admitting that certain number of
changes in subsidiary as well as principal
offices are unavoidable with every fresh
installation at the White House, the pract-
cal point arises, How can action be taken
without local knowledge or ADVICE? II
advice is needed the delegation OF n State is
ohlCI9 III a pcolAiJu ~ buPplJ IT. lHb pres
ent system of appointments is such that
some degree of confidence and mutual
reliance is essential between an admins
tratiOn and the Senators and Representa-
ttves Of States. 1t would not be essential in
the same degree if office-holders held their
positions during good behavior and were
selected solely on grounds OF competence
and good character. Many appointments
are practically permanent, but 10 general,
our system of Ofiice-hOlding retains features
of uncertainty and fluctuaIion. A small
army of men begin to fold up their papers
when a new administration comes into
power, and so habituaied is the country to
the process of rotation that even in local
affairs clean sweep is regarded without
surprise and Is often welcomed as a iuslif-
cation.
1t is said that Senator White and every
other member of the California delegation
shares the views of Mr.. Caminetti on this
matter. Looked at in the abstract, sym.
pathY may be extended to every one iD Con-
gress who is persistently besieged by his
constituents to help them TO appointments.
Hundreds Of letters day have to be opened
and perused by some unfortunate men. AS
to answering them all. or giving effect to the
beseechings Of all, that is an impossibility.
oone Oh the letters are unconscionably long
and rambling Many OF the requests are
out Of all reason. a nervous man who fol-
lows routine of conscientious courtesy is
apt to be driven distracted by his mail.
What time he has left to bestow upon the
general affairs Of government at home and
abroad must be miraculously snatched from
the fetiered hours claimed by his con stitu-
ents. The methodical statesman adjusts
himself to his circumstances by devising
stereotyped forms of reply. conventional
modes of set,iug the wheels of circumlocu-
tion in motisBs and iDgenlously rapid ways

sHEARMAN TO CLEVELAND.

Thomas G. Shearman addressed letter TO
President Cleveland asking permission to
give to the public series of letters on the
methods Of tariff reform which Mr.. Shear
man thinks should be adopted. Mr.. Cleve-
land gave his consent, without. however
promising to read the letters. and especially
providing that he should not be expected to
express assent or dissent as to the views
presented. The first letter has appeared in
New York paper. In this Mr.. Shearman
informs the President that the people ex-
pect him to be thorough in his work. The
way in which he should proceed is outlined
in the following:
Let US now, while retaining all the free-trade
features Of the Mckinley tariff add 10 them free
trade in raw materials and a large reduction in
the duties upon manufactured goods and we
shall bring about an increase OF necessary
importatons, which viii pay for an immense
increase In our exports Of wheat, corn. cotton
aud provisions This will enable the planters Of
the South TO raise larger crop than ever and
yet 10 secure for It the same price per pound
which they are now getting for their small CROP
II VIII raise the price of wheat 8 or 20 cents
bushel and raise the price Of all other farm
products.
In a word Mr.. ShearmaD proposes to make
the United States an exporter of cheap raw
MdteTidl anu al lHipoI ser ol Higl-prlceu
finished goods. The Mckinley tariff ad-
mits more than one-half the imports of tie
country free Of duty. Retain all the free
trade features of the Mckinley act, says
Mr.. Shearman, and add to them free wool,
free iron. free coal. aud reduce duties on
manufactured goods. thus increasing impor
tations. The artisan, mechanic, factory
operative and other laboring men who may
be thrown out of employment may go to
raising cotton and grain. If we in
crease our importations of high-priced fn-
ished goods we shall furnish Europe with
more money with which 10 purchase our
low priced agricultural products.

tion to the tSrif literature Of the day lies

A WORD TO scHOOLTEAcHERs

The Lill to pension teachers has been de-
feated. The best friends of schoolteachers
voted against il An inevitable result of a
law to pension teachers would be a reduc-
ton Of salaries. Pensions and low salaries
30 hand in hand The argument is that
persons who are prov ded fer in old age by
the public should serve the public at the
cost OF living. This rule Is applied In every
country in Europe where officials are PEN
stoned. There are probably nun Der of
teachers who have drawn high salaries from
twenty to thirty wears who would profit by
a pension law. But it would be at the ex-
pense Of young teachers who have vet to
serve their term. These young teachers
VIII not accept an assurance Of pension in
old age, which to young people seems so far
of, as compensation for comfortable pro-
vision for the present. But few school
teachers expect TO teach twenty-five years.
They regard the School Department as a
safe and comfortable place in which to wait
for the coming man. 1t is well that it
should be so. a young woman never faces
life with real cheerfulness If matrim0ny is
not al least possibility.
a prominent official in the School Depart
ment defends the pension proposition on
the ground that large proportion Of the
10 fall back upon when their days of useful
ness are over. The department keeps them
on the roll rather than turn them out to
starVe. On the assumption that the average
woman IS always a minor and should be
cared for as such the argument is unanswer-
able. AS matters now stand the assistant
teachers, who comprise the chief force of
the department, are paid better than in any
other city in America. After ten years of
service they range from $50 to $50 a month,
counting twelve months in the year. No
one at present finds fault with the schedule
of salaries. The average taxpayer wants
the teacher to be made cODtented in the
department and to feel that her full share
Of the pleasures OF life is open to her. But
movement to add a pension to the liberal
cOmTensation already given Will start a
movement to reduce salaries all round. The

ries in consequence Of an adoption of the

DYNAMITE EXPLOSIONS.

The decision Of Justice Barry in the case
of the New York Plate glass Company
against the Giant Powder Works of West
Berkeley fixes responsibility upon the de-
lendants for the explosion and consequent
damage which occurred in July last year
The admissions by the defendants were
tantamOunt TO no defense. Plate-glass in
the city Of San Francisco was smashed in
numbers OF instances, although the distance
from the works is thirteen miles. This dis
tance is sufficien tly great to render damage
improbable provided not too much dynamite
is exploded, but it may we'll be that windows
at distance of fifty miles would be shat
tered il a thousand tons of this high ex-
pl0sive were to 20 into the air simultape-
uusly. The actual quantity Of the explo-
sive detOnated on the occasion in question
was two hundred tons, besides eight tons of
blasting powder. 1t is obvious that this
quantity is much too great to be kept in
any giant-powder factory. At the utmost
not more than from 60 to so tons should be
allowed, and this should be stored in a
number of widely separated magazines pro-
tected by high anu thick embankments of
sand and turf. so that if one explodes the
others will not be affected. 1t should never
be possible in a dynamite-factory to blow
more tban couple oil tons INTO the air. AS
matter of fact, in Scotland. where the
manufacture was first commenced by Nobel,
only two or three accidents have occurred
in twenty years, and never more that 500 to
800 pounds have been exploded. To have
works so constructed that 200 tons are de-
stroyed by disaster in the mixing-house
shows defective planning of the factory as
we'll as indiscretlon in the storage of quan-
titles much too large. The best location for
dynamite works is place remote from
towns, with access to sea and rail- Many
such sites are available around San Fran
