| With the exception of that made to
| the county general fund these were all
monthly payments. In the case of the
county settlements are made weekly.
OF the amount received by the terri
torial treasurer $1S,7SS.14 was in war
rants and court certiffca ties. The
county treasurer also received batch of
warrants. In addition to these regular
funds there are some thirty special
school districts whose levy is collected
by the county and payments are made
to these upon the order of the various
boards of trustees.
! Once more is the office of the county
collector open for the reception of bust
ness and this state of affairs will con-
tinue until the 18th of the month, two
days after which the sales of all pro-
perty upon which the taxes and costs
are not paid will commence. According
to the records of the Office about Is per
! cent of the entire tax has been col
lected and it is estimated that the
collections will be sWelled to 80 per
! cent before the sales. Th1S latter was
the per cent turned over to the various
funds last year by the collector and
that official does not anticipate
heavier proportionate collection than in
1893.
In addition to the amounts received
from Salt Lake county the territorial
treasury was enriched by a payment of
$4,000 from Collector Wiley, of Davis
county, and another of $93477 in cash
and $25622 in warrants and court script
from Collector Heybourne, of Iron
county. Having a number aof heavy
payments still to meet Treasurer White
head will not advance the number of
warrants which may be presented for
payment, for some little time at least.
He now has in the school fund the sum
of $140,000 and an apportionment will
probably be made about the end of the
present month. The first apportion-
ment made last year carried with it the
distribution of $4,000.
County Treasurer Lynn is hard at
work getting his interest figured I'D and
within the next few days he will make
another advance in the county war
rants for which there are funds. He
is now paying to No. 1900.

Der of men employed in a certain district
in 1892 was 117,272. The number employed
in the same district in 1898 was 1876. The
average of wages for five years previous to
1888 was 81 10; for 1898 it was 81 80.
Owners of mines attribute the depression
in that industry largely to the threat Of
free iron ore. The report saws:

A SEVEN MONTHS RETROSPECT

That there has been a shrinkage in
trade and industry during the last year no.
body can deny; but that shrinkage has
been as large as TO warrant discourage
ment for the future the official trade tables
do not indicate.
During the seven months ending January
81, 1894, the imports Of merchandise
footed up S371, 549, 06O, as against $751;
371.6S1 in the seven months ending
January 81, 1893, the decrease being S112.-
S22, 621; while during the same seven
months the exports of domestic merchan-
disc actually showed an increase, being
$500, 295, 545. as against S519. 031, 31S. These
figures certainly reveal no such condition
of our foreign trade as justifies apprehen-
sions for the future. The reduction in our
importation Of foreign goods is almost al.
together in manufactured goods and articles
of voluntary use: with some of these people
can dispense, and do dispense in hard
times, while other goods of which the con-
sumption has been reduced may have been
and probably were made at home. On the
other hand, our exports of The products
of agriculture showed an increase of about
SIS. 600, which indicates that we had
the produce to ship and there was the same
demand for it abroad as usual.
From special causes operating locally
the foreign trade of this port showed a
diminution during the seven months which
was not justified by general conditions.
The importations at San Francisco duriDg
that period fell off six millions OF nearly %
per cent. and the exports three millions or
16 per cent Much Of the reduction was
due to the vigorous curtailment of con-
sumption in the latter months Of 1888 and
something 10 the low prices commanded by
our chief agricultural staples.
An encouraging sign for the labor mar
ket is the diminution OF immigration. The
total figures for the seven months ending
January 81, 1894, are 1884, as against
204. 357 for the seven months ending Janu-
airy 81. 1893. The immigration from ali
foreign coun tries except Russia, Ireland
and Austria showed falling off. From
Russia and Austria emigration is more or
less compulsory, and is not influenced by
conditions in this country. IL is curious
that the exodus from Ireland should swell
in the face of the highly prosperous con-
dition of the country reflected in the
Queens speech

PEANUT STATESMEN.

A Washington dispatch asserts that the
clause in he Senate tariff bill demanding
the termination of the Hawaiian treaty
was inserted as a concession to the sugar
interests in this country. In this case the
sugar interests of this country probably
mean the sugar interests of Louisiana
California is the leading producer of beet
sugar. and we have heard Of DO demand
from this State Tor the termination of the
treaty with Hawaii. Under the Senate
tariff bill whatever protection is given
to sugar will be in the torn of duties on
imports. The bounty system will be done
away with. The treaty we have with the
islands admits Hawaiian sugar free. But
the amount of Hawaiian sugar, Louisiana
sugar and beet sugar is no. enough to
affect The price in our market. The i'm
ports which pay duty will fix the price
until the amount of home production, in
Guiding that OF the islands, is atlaast three
times as great as at present.
The termination Of the reciprocity
treaty with the islands would throw them
into the hands of the first nation that
might propose an advantageous alliance.

United States, but with them as with most
other people sentiment is based upon in

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The changes with which the English
House of Lords is threatened will probably
fall very short of the total abolition which
some extremists would have us believe as
impending. Some practical compromise
so characteristic of English government
will be found by which abuses will be re-
moved from an institution which repre-
sents such an immense heritage of the
past. Conspicuous among these abuses is
the great increase in the numbers and cor
responding influence which has been given
to this branch of the legislature.
When Henry VII summoned his mobiles.
after the wars of the Roses, there were not
forty, Including bishops. TO answer the
:ollcall, so fatal had been the struggle be-
tween York and Lancaster TO the English
nobility. To-day there are 500 peers of
Parliament. The exigencies of the time.
or the party necessities of the Prime Min
lister, have caused such enlargements of
the body as often 10 shock the public mind
and sometimes TO originate efforts 10 limit
the sovereign's power of creation. Thus,
in order TO carry the peace OF Utrecht
Queen Anne created a batch of twelve
peers, and other immense creations fol-
lowed both in her reign and in that of
George l. Yet when George III ascended
the throne there were only ia British
peers, and twelve of these being Roman
Catholics were disqualified from sitting in
the House. Lord North was generous in
his gifts of honors. but William Pitt ex-
ceede6 all others before or since in lavish
and culpable promotion or creation of no
less than 140 peers. 1t cannot be denied
that most of these promotions were the re-
wards for political services TO men OF no
real distinction. and that thereby the
chamber suffered intellectual impoverish-
ment aud its influence was permanently
and injuriously affected. Pitt, however.
was thus enabled TO strengthen his posi-
ton in the House of Commons and coun-
teract the Wing influence in the upper
House which had there prevailed since the
revolution. To insure Government sue
cess in carrying the reform bill another
large creation of peers was made. 1t was
commonly said men "were pitchforked
Into the House." and at intervals since the
same dangerous tactics have been threat
ened, if not employed. The fruits of this
pernici0us system are seen in the dispro-
portionate size of the upper House and in
its comparatively low intellectual level.
Individuals may and undoubtedly have
been eminent both in craftsmanship and
0ratory; but the brilliant exceptions only
cast into further shade the cOroneted dull
ness surrou nding them.
The problem before the British people is
certainly difficult, but, as we have indi-
Gated, in any future blockade of legislation
by the Lords no relief can with safety be
found in making further additions 10 their
body. A more radical but reasonable rem
edy may be discovered in a system of
elected representative peers. As condi-
tons are at present any measure of reform
must be submitted to the Lords themselves.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

1t is confidently expected that the Board
of School Directors will this evening take
such action in regard to the Chinese school
as will allay the apprehension of properly
holders in the vicinity of the Commercial
High School. The School Directors are
about the last body of officials in this city
who should contemplate this creation OF a
nuisance. They distribute million dol
lars of the peoples money and are morally
eDjoiBed from schemes TO injure the prop
erty of any portion of their constituents.
The conception OF TIE idea of establishing
a Chinese school in the heart of white
community. in the mind Of any School Dr.
rector, is iDcompIehensible. The PROPOSE
ton was as certain TO meet with deter

Tile matter OF the guardianship OF Ethel
Grace Smith, minor, has once more wandered

courts of this city and county, although the
Oakland Judges may have another discussion

able of Judge Greene's time In Oakland and
when transferred 10 these courts Judge Levy
was induced To give letters OF guar dianship
over the child to Mrs. Haskell on the showing
made by Attorney GeoTg HayfOrd.
Yesterday, however Mrs. Lu Smith. mother
OF the child, appeared before Judge Levy and
produced her credentials in support OF an appll-
cation to have her child restored TO her. Among
these was letter signed by Judge Greene oil

In the end Judge Levy came to the conclu-
sion that he had been misinfOrmed as to the
real facts OF The case and had acted hastily IN
awarding letters of guardianship 10 Mrs. Has
kett, and issued an ord directing Mrs. Lu
Smith 10 take back her child.
