has right to improve what remains
of its own domain, and TO sell it to
the thronging thousands and tens OF
thoueands OF hardy and industrious men
that are seeking for homes. For this
purpose the government would be justi.
fed in spending four or five hundred
millions OF dollars on improving these
arid lands, and OF issuing for that pur-
pose a special currency which, in addi-
tion to it's legal tender quality, would be
specially valuable because it would
have q preference in being receivable
for arid lands which had been improved

the highly desirable function of adding
to the per capita OF our circulation, and
the government could take its own time
in canceling them. Besides, they would
bear no interest.
, There would be nothing wild or ad-
venturous in such programme. BY 1t
the government would create a great
outlet for our surplus population, would
eensibly increase the circulating med
ium and would make money, and great
sum of money. From the proceeds OF
the sales of these hundreds of millions
of arid lands supplied with good water

created that would extinguish the whole
national debt. In addition to relieving
the money stringency of our people, the
Oraot vunst would he diyidad and started

There is absolutely no drawback to such
Q plan. 1t is recommended by every
consideration of both patriotism and ex-

DOING VERY WELL.

The Stockton Independent says that the
San Francisco Traffic Association has not
fulfilled expectations. The Independent
takes the responsibility of saying that "the
object of the association is not relief for
California" A vast majority of the people
in San Francisco think the Traffic Assoeia-
tion is doing very well. Whether or not its
object is to afford relief for California, that
is what it is doing. In the few months Of
its existence it has done wonders. Who
supposed when the Traffic Association was
formed 1t would within year establish two
lines by which goods can be transported
from Atlantic cities to Pacific cities at the
cost OF the service? Who supposed when
THE CALL but few months ago exposed
the combination Of the Southern Pacific and
Pacific Mail to maintain rates at three times
the cost of service that the year 1898 would
see steamship line formed in the interest
OF the State taking the place of the Pacific
Mail in its relations to the Panama Railroad
Company If any Of the numerous organs
of the Southern Pacific think the Traffic
Association is not moving fast enough they
must remember that II took the Southern
Pacific years to build up the monopoly to
which the Traffic Association In a little
more than a year has administered DEATH
blow. The work, we admit, is not complete.
The monopoly is still in possession Of most
of the routes which connect San Francisco

SAN JOSE NON-PARTIsANs.

The San Jose Record thus tells what the
NOn-Partisan movement in that city means :
In the course OF Two or three weeks the city
will be In the turmoil OF another election TO see
whether the decent and eTder-loving heads OF
families and the taxpayers ean put the control OF
their municipal affairs wholly into the hands OF
men vino Will manage them solely to obtain the
best results to all the people, or whether they
shall be allowed to slip again Into the hands OF
men who have conducted them manly to pro-
mote the selfish and dishonest purposes OF gang
politicians.
The proposition submitted TO the people
of San Jose is so simple that the most in
different votes cannot unknowingly go
wrong. With the offices of a city in the
hands of men who look TO politics for a
living, ths taxpayers must find money not
only for legitimate purposes, but for the
support of the political bosses and their
dependents. 1t is a well-established fact
that only INSCRIPTIONS men succeed as
bosses. II a mans sense of Justice is keen
and other moral perceptions fairly active,
he falters at line of policy which more
unscrupulous man would pursue success
fully. The experience of most cities is that
the successful boss stops at nothing. He
knows that his career will be short and he
consequently makes the most Of his oppor-
tunlties. In this city we have found the
most successful bosses we have ever had
reaching into the courts to keep themselves
and their followers out Of Jail. 4 policy
which is violation of law naturally seeks
to escape punishment by paralyzing the
arm of justice. Our San Jose friends have
something more than money at stake They
have TO protect all branches of q municipal
government from the methods which pro-
vOked the anti-boss uprising in this city.

THE INAUGURAL,

S. Ia. his inaugural address Mr.. Cleveland
touched in a kind-of oblique fashion upon
three prominent Issues in national politics.
These are the currency. the tariff and the
:tesEFaint of commercial combinations
fotmed for the purpose of limiting produc-
ton and fixing prizes. In respect to cur
rehcy he evidently believes in a dollar of
uniform value. The message affords no
eew to any plan he may have in mind TO
maintain gold and silver at the same money
value. An inaugural is no place for an ex-
tended argument or even q statement of
purposes, except in a general way. When
a President announces his purpose to main
tain two kinds Of money having an unequal
commercial value in equality he in effect
declares for the dollar of the highest value.
in respect to the tariff nothing is said that
would imply his belief in tariff for revenue
only. He wants tariff reform. He con-
sders the Democratic party pledged in
.;th6 most positive terms to tariff re-
form. But his message throws no light
.upnn the kind or degree of tariff reform he
wants. OF course no one looked for tariff
schedule in an inaugural, but there are
Democrats who would have liked a more
direct reference to the tariff plank in the
Chicago plstfprm. In respect to the en-
pl6Yment of the legal machinery of the
Govern ment to break UP combinations TO
limit production and establish prices he is
explicit. These combinations be regards as

A COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

The announcement that ex-President
Harrison has accepted an offer to become
nonresident professor at the Leland STAN
ford University raises the old question,
What shall we do with our ex-Presidents?
There is nothing to be said against being
professor at Palo Alto, or praetieing
lawyer at New York, or the president OF an
agricultural society in Ohio. All three
positions are honorable, and he who fills
them, if be fills them well, may fairly claim
the respect OF his neighbors. But still there
does seem something incongruous in the
descent of men who have been the chief
magistrate of the great republic to such
very modest stations in life. Mr.. Harrison
will command respect wherever he goes,
and whatever pursuit he follows. But it
win appear odd to listen to him trying
TO hammer into the head of a dull
hoy the principles of the law of trusts just
as it was odd to fancy Mr.. Cleveland's
opinions being overruled by two-penny
Judge, or Mr. Hayes disputipg with his
farmer friends over anew breed of Shang
hal fowls. Our political principles forbid
our public men being clothed with the
divinity which hedges kings. but still it
jars our sense of prOpriety to see them set
back on the common level from which they
started.
Our practice. moreover. Is waste Of vital
force which the nation cannot afford.
When man has served one or two terms as
President, he has acquired fund of knowl-
edge which is wasted if he is relegated to
a private station. He must know far more
than the average Senator or Congressman.
He must be able to throw light on problems
which puzzle those who have not had his
political training. If he be fairly inteli-
gent he must be an ideal adviser on public
affairs. Yet we make no use of this we'll
equipped man, but send him back to practice
law, or to write books. or 10 deliver lectures,
or tOraise chickens. This, as the philOso-
pliers say, is wauton and uniustifiabIe dis
persion of national force.
When General Grant was In retirement,
Idle, needy. but IN the full possession of

to be President and has served his term or
terms rises above party and is naturally
governed by pure considerations of patriot
Ism. Unless his mind Is singularly dis

UNANIMOUS JURIEs.

The State Senate decides that juries must
continue to. be unanimous to find yerdicts.
Senator Gesford proposed to allow three
fourths of she jury to render a verdict, and
Senator V0orhies proposed that three
tourths should suffice In civil cases.
Neither proposition commends itself to the
favor OF the body which is SO set against
reform that it is opposed to the removal of
the railroad Commissioners. There is little
risk in assuming that most of the holdovers
who were sent to Sacramento to re-elect
Mr.. Stanford, and the members of the Fay

English juries are impaneed under a
system which would not be tolerated in this
country for moment In important cases
the crown packs the jury. as a matter of
course. 1t is privileged to do SO. When
Americans eriticize the practice, English
lawyers reply that if English Jurors were
selected by lot or by chance, as they are in
this country, 1t would be impossible to
secure convictions. They claim that the
in teresis Of justice are promoted by cOnfid-
ing TO the Sheriff and clerk the power to
select especially intelligent jurymen to try
grave cases, and they point to the cases of
the dynamiters and the Phenix Park
murderers as proof that their plan is the
only sound one. Had the juries in those
cases been picked up at haphazard, it is
ODDS that convictions could not have been
secured. Il is hard 10 explain to English
men that We could not allow jures TO be

REsUMING IMMIGRATION.

The agents Of three of the steamship
companies whose vessels run between
European ports and New York have for
gotten the good resolutions of the autum
when the cholera scare was strong, and are
now prepared to bring immigrants from
Germany and the Netherlands to our shores.
They are not so much afraid of the risk of
cholera as the loss of business, as con-
siderable share OF the earnings of their
steamers comes from steerage traffic.
Should they persist in the resumption OF
traffic quarantine officials will have no
light task in the coming season. The
moment case of cholera Is reported the
whole country will again be in alarm, and
again there will be an outcry for suppress
sion of steerage immigration. Steamship
companies have had experience of the cost
of long detention at quarantine. A repe-
tition of this experience is inevitable should
cholera again cross the Atlantic.
