The morning call., 1893-09-17
TO PROCEED UNDER THE LAW.

The suggestion Of Mr.. Houghtam
through THE CALL that as many Chinese
as possible be arrested and placed under
the jurisdiction Of the Federal courts is to
be acted upon by the San Francisco Labor
Council. With an active and influential
organization to carry the suggestion into
practice the difficulties in the way OF its
execution disappear. The process Of put
ting Chinese in the hands of the court may
be made summary without violating the
spirit of the act The fact that Chinese
laborer has not certificate Of registration
Is prima facie evidence that he is unlaw-
fully IN the country. A court commits
sioner, one lawyer to see that no details in
the process are omitted, and men 10 bring
the Chinese into court are about all the
requirements. Not a large sum of money
will be necessary, and there appear to be
parties ready TO supply all that is really
needed. A legal firm of standing will
attend to legal points that may be sprung
at little more than nominal fee The
work, in fact, is one in which all are
anxious TO take a part. OF course, no
time should be lost. The Everett bill will
afford refuge 10 all who are not at the
date Of its enactment under the jurisdic-
fion of the courts. The Everett bill may
be crowded through somewhat as the Scott
act was in 1888, but at the present time the
silver repeal bill has the right Of way.
The morning call., 1893-09-17
A SHORT COTTON CROP.

The Southern skies are not particularly
bright. The cotton report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for September shows
decline Of seven points since August,
the present showing being 1874 as against
S0.4 month ago. There are but two
States-Arkansas aud Florida-in which
the crop promises to be an average, while
in several States, such as Texas and South
Carolina. it will not be much over half
crop. The decline is ascribed TO the usual
causes-excessiVe rains, rust insect raw
ages; while in the seaboard counties on
the Atlantic the recent tidal wave has
done much mischief.
The prospect is the sadder as the money
yield Of cotton has been diminishing for
several years. Calling the value of mid
ding uplands for early delivery 815 cents,
it is reckoned that land planted in cotton
this year will yield net $40 Go per acre, as
against S13 So for the five years ending in
1890, and S28 for the average of the five
years ending in 1870. In other words. the
yield Of cotton land has been steadily de-
clining for twenty years. and the profits
OF the planter have been growing steadily
less. One often hears the remark that
this or that agricultural product is selling
below the cost OF production. Inc remark
would be more ineligible if there were a
fixed standard for the value Of labor.
In England, France, Germany, Italy,
Spain and Russia the farmer does not ex-
pect to make anything beyond bare liv-
ing. In India and China he does not
always make that. Under the exception
ally favorable circumstances which have
obtained in this country, growers OF cot
ton, wheat, corn and meat products have
as rule made more than they needed TO
spend, and have accumulated savings.
Before the war a thrifty planter in the
cotton States always made fortune, and
though he was helped by the use of un-
paid labor. he could do nearly as we'll il
he hired his labor and looked after IL.

EXPENSIVE PLUMBING.
What the Pipes at the New City
Hall Have Cost.

When the Board of City Hall Commits
sioners met yesterday report OF the sec
retary of the Health Board was read call
ing attention to the disgraceful condition
Of plumbing in the basement of the new
City Hall
Mayor Elert, who presided at the meet
ing, declared that ii was a shame that
such a condition of affairs existed. He
had always complained of the unhealthy
atmos phere in his Office, and now knew the
reason why be was always feeling SICK
He thought it an outrage ina. con tractors
had not performed their Work any better,
aud that the work had not been any better
suDeriDtended.
Auditor Broderick said he believed that
the plumbing in the basement should be
Immediately attended 10, but dld not WISH
the board TO run to an extreme In the mat
ter Of expense. as had been done by pre-
yiOus Commissioners.
The Auditor, who is a man Of statistics,
pulled out of his pocket q piece OF paper.
from which he read. His figures showed
that the plumbing OF the City Hall had
cost $4,000. In one year as much as
S15,503 IS had been spent on plum Ding,
which sum did not include the cost OF ma
terials. He said the discovery of bad
drainage in the City Hall basement year
ago cost the city about $50 day for twelve
months.
Besides that, the Supervisors had spent
large sums for plumbing. having spent
S21OO already this year. The Auditor said
he had refused to audit certain plumbing
bills which came in during ne month of
June, as the limit of the statutory appro-
priation had been reached.
Mayor Ellert said that he did not pro-
pose TO authorize any extravagaut expeD-
ditures for plumbing, but that something
must be done TO prevent TWO sewers from
emptying under his Office.

architect to ascertain all the necessary re-
pairs and prepare plans and Specifications
accordingly.
Auditor Broderick said be thought that
watchman should be employed TO guard
the pipes and lead in the building and on
the roof. as tons of it lad been carried off

The morning call., 1893-09-17
CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT

Republicans will give the Examiner
credit for courage in opposing the admin
istration it helped TO place in power Our
contemporary may have been a little pre-
mature in assuming that Mr.. Cleveland
intends to disregard the tariff plank of the
Chicago platform, but it stands firmly on
the ground that the President should en-
force the laws whether he personally ap-
proves of them or not On this point the
Examiner says:
We have too much confidence ln the manhood
and patriotism of this Democratic Congress to
believe that Mr.. Cleveland will be permitted TO
ride comfortably over It's rights and privileges
whenever he happens to have a measure which
he wishes TO push. No matter what member
may thnk OF the justice or policy OF Chinese
exclusion, he cannot II be be man of sense
blind himself TO tie bold and dangerous Illegal
ity OF the Presidents conduct in holding his
own pleasure superior TO an act of Congress
whose constltutionaity has been affirmed by
the Supreme Court.
We trust the Examiners confidence in
the manhood and patriotism of this Demo-
cratic Congress is not misplaced. We are
all Americans before we are Republicans
| or Democrats. AS Americans we should
hold our President subject to the constitu-
supposed that al some period in our ma
! tional career some President with more
vanity than sense would make an issue
with Congress. The enormous patronage
| of the executive office invites an attempt
! to control Congress through the use of it.
| There are unfortun ately Senators and Rep
resen.atives in both parties who care little
what the President does so that he does OF
| in the classic language of Mr.. Geary turn
them away from the Federal pie counter" E"
Assuming that some President would
undertake TO set himself above Congress
it is rather fortunate that Mr.. Cleveland
should put himself forward as the Ameri-
can Caesar Another man who had done
the people more distinguished service than
Mr. Cleveland might cause some trouble.
But Grover Cleveland is not dangerous
| he will be brushed aside without much
effort IL he makes himself sufficiently OBJ
noxious to warrant the manifestation of
power on the part of the people.
