"WHAT Do YOU THINK OF US?''

As Henry Irving, the English actor
was getting ready 10 go Saturday night f.
Chronicle reporter approached him and
put the important question that heads
this article. The reporter continues, The
great actoT-maDager turned a look upon
his lnquisltOr that spoke volumes" Prob
ably he did. He must have felt all the
look implied. To be asked such a oues-
tion probably the ten thousandth time
a. such moment must have impressed
the actor with an IDEA that we are, as he
afterward said. "a wonderful Iot,'' job
lot at that.
1t is all very well to be courteous to
strangers. Courtesy is the quality in the
civilized world which costs The least and
does the most gOod. Genius may be fer
getfui or rude, learning may be silent
when 1t should speak. money may be too
much occupied with itself to do its duty to
athers, but genuine courtesy comppnsates
for all deficiencies. Il even seals critical
lips. unless they happen to be the lips of
a Kiplng. But when courtesy becomes
Obtrusive and challenges admiration it is
more offensive than rudeness. 1t tten be-
comes something more than sign Of pro-
vincialism; it is an indication of mbecil-
ity. Courtesy cannot be imagined as
challenging a compliment, and yet what
under the circumstances could visitor do
but praise? 1t is time for California to
work itself out OF tins "What do you
think Of u.s. period. While no community
can be Indifferent as to what other people
think of them. there comes a time when
the question ceases TO he asked. Irving
has been given grand reception-ono far
beyond Ills merits as an actOr-but no one
quarrels with the spectacle the city has
made of itself. 1t simply reminds US that
we are still very young. still impression
able, with more impulse than judgment,
more ostentatiOus than correct in deport-
meDt. But misplaced enthusiasm could
be forgiven as an evidence of generous
esteem if the typical idiot had not OBJ
truded with the question, What do you
think of us?

COMING THROUGH CANADA.

The following is from an administration
paper:
Some OF the Canadian newspapers are raising
mighty hullabaloo because the United States
Treasury Department has seen 1t to stringently
enforce the immig ration laws. This action has
interfered with that peculiar Canadian Industry.
the smuggling Of Chinese and other und-sir
able immigrants over the border. The Dominion
Government itself has been deriving revenue
from the tax on Chinese, and therr fore the how
has an official note In il. II is to be hoped that
the customs officials charged with the duty of
turning back prescribed immigrants at the
Canadian border viii not relax their vigilance
for moment Canada should not be allowed
to make money out OF The traffic at our expense
If she loads up with undesirable foreigners let
her keep them.
Every one knows that the most effective
way to stop the smuggling of Chinese into
the United States from Canada is TO en-
force the Chinese registration act. When
it is understood that Chinese in the United
States will be deported unless they can
produce certificate of residence, there
will be no inducement to bring Chinese
into Canada. The effort to stop Chinese
from coming in over the Canadian border
is we'll enough in its way. but the better
way is TO give Chinese to understand that
only those who are provided with certif-
Gates can remain in this country.

SPECIFIC DUTIES AND AD-
VALOREM DUTIES.

The fruit-grower of this State would feel
relieved by the showing made by free
trade contemporary in respect TO duties on
fruit if complete reliance could be placed
upon that showing. 1t appears that the
only considerable changes that can be
made will be In the method of collecting
revenues from foreign fruit The specific
system will give way to the ad valorem
For example. in place of duty of 2b
cents pound on figs there will be an ad.
valorem duty of about 40 per cent for rev.
enue purposes. So with prunes and plums.
The rate of duty will not apparently be
materially decreased, but in place If a
specific duty of 2 cents pound a revenue
duty of 80 per cent on the foreign valua-
ton OF prunes and plumS will be collected.
There is some ground for this whiting
away of the tariff question and some fic-
ton in our contemDOrary's argument. If
the foreign prune-grower should estimate
his shipment at SO ton the duty on il at
so per cent would be but So ton. Our
contemporary assumes that the ad-
valorem duty is based upoE the Amer
lean valuation after the duties are added,
whereas it is based upon the valuation in
the place of production. Under the Nc
hinley tariff there is a specific duty Of 2
cents pound on foreign prunes. The
foreign valuation Of prunes makes the
duty neither more nor less. There it
stands-a solid wall of protection TO
American prune-grOwers. The foreigner
can get into the American market by paw
ing cents pound on his shipment. AS
prunes have been selling this year at less
than cents pound the rate of duty is
over 100 per cent.
1t Is fortunate in one respect that the
necessities of The Government will compel
the maintenance OF duties at something
like 40 per cent on the foreign valuation.
This is good deal better than nothing.
There is constant danger, however. that
foreign goods will be undervalued. High
grade cloths which will sell in our market
at So or Sc yard may be invniced at 50.
The 50-per-cent duty would in such case
be laid on the invoice valuation 1t would
be so cents yard. On So cloth so cents
duty would hardly pay for the difference
between the labor cost in Europe and in
this country. But 40-per-cent ad-valorem
duty will stand between our industries
and absolute ruin.

SPEAKING THEIR MINDS.

The Philadelphia Inquirer declares the
United States Senate a nuisance. It has
arrived at the opinion through a perusal
of the debate on the silver repeal bill.
The Inquirer, which does not often get
angry. and is consequently more likely to
make serious business of it than it other
wise might, continues in the following
vein:
Inc time has come 10 speak plain words
When legislative body persists in PLAYING
wi h great country and defying Its plain m an
dates then should the people speak their minds
freely. And the Inquirer, representing tens
OF thousands OF citizens of Pennsylvania but
voices their sentiments when Ii arraiPns the
management Of the Senate of the United States
as menace TO business ana financial stability
The offense of the Senate consists in
devoting more time TO the considerable of
the silver repeal bill than the INQUIRER
thinks it should. THE CALL has before
remarked that the advocates of repeal are
apparently fearful OF the effects of discus
sion. They are not content with the
assurance that repeal will come in time
but insist that it shall come at once
There have been some Incorporate ex-
pressons reported from the San Francisco
san1 lot. Discretion in that quarter has
not always been held to be the better part
of valor. Without doubt the cause the
orators of the sand lot have advocated has
lost friends through the plainness of
speech that has been INDUCED in. But we
do not recall any expression from the
sand lot so unit to be uttered as the fpl-
lowing from the respectable PhilaGel-
phia Inquirer:
