WHAT TARIFF REFORM WILL DO.
Enlarge the Field of American En-
terprise Instead of Gripping.

The remark of a great American
statesman. seventy years ago, that the
greatest want of civilized society is a
market for the sale and exchange of
the surplus of the produce of the labor
of its members was never as true of
any people as it is today true Of the
people of the United tates. There is
not one of our leading industries that
can find free and healthful play within
the limits of our home market. Capital
can combine, and frequently does COM
bine, to hold down production to the
paying demands of that market, but
this is done at the expense of the home
consumer and to the hurt of the home
laborer. From the consumer it must
gather profits enough to make UP for
the idlenesS of part of the year or
of a part of its plant. From the Ia
borer it must take away employment
for part of the year or for part OF its
plant.
Even under present burdens many of
our producers are forcing their entry
into other markets. With free mater
ials more of them could do so. 1t is
a. most irrational and absurd outcry
that in so doing they may incur the
hazard of surrendering the rich and
reliable home market for an uncertain
and less profitable outside market The
ability of any industry to invade the
markets of other countries implies it's
ability to hold the markets of its own
country against the same competitors,
and it is a mockery to talk of over
production as long as there are so
many millions of ill-clad people to
clothe, and only a, law of Congress to
forbid that exchange of the products
of labor by which both ourselves and
they could enjoy more of the goods
and necessaries of life.-Congressma
Wilson in the Forum.

w H. Bancroft superintendent of the

returned yesterday from a trip through
Wyoming and Colorado. The alleged
movement on the part of the Union
Pacific to reduce the salaries of officials
and employees on the Wyoming di-

apprehension to the railroad men of
that section, seems to be without foun-
dation. Superintendent Bancroft says

as good as might be expected at this

Burst Wnter Mnin clnims.

It is hardly probable that the joint
committe on waterworks and claims,
which has under consideration the
claims for damages alleged to have
been sustained through the bursting
OF water main near the corner of
Main street and Second South will be
ready to report by the next meeting
of the city council, as the evidence
taken at the recent investigation has
not all been transcribed and placed
in the hands of the city attorney for
his report. The attorney now holds
that the city was not liable for the
damage done by the flood but his
views are not shared by several mem
bers of the committee, and it is very
possible that the report of the commit
tee. will not be in conformity with that
of the attorney.

JACK, THE 0IMAsURER..
A New Kind of Villain Makes His APP
psarance in San Francisco.

Jack, the Measurer is the latest adj
dition to the ranks of the villains who
have so long haraSsed the gentle fe-
male. He is now operating in San
Francisco with one of the most unique
schemes on record. Jack, the Kisser,
and Jack, the Hugger, are not in it
with Jack, the Measurer His plan is
to go around and measure the cham
Der maids for a grand shape contest
at the Midwinter fair
The fair officials have not authorized
any such contest, nor have they heard
of Jack the Measurer, but that enter
prising individual is busy with his tape
line just the same. He has already Sc
cured the ground plans and specifica-
tions of several leading chamberinaids,
and is industriously hustling for more.
What he intends to do with the shape
statistics of the dust pan wielders is a
mystery. There is to be a beauty con-
test at the Midwinter fair, but the corr
ditions do not require any measuring.
Still the measuring goes briskly on
and many q buxom servant girl has
listened to the song of the man with
the tape line. His plan is to prowl
about the hotels and lodging houses
until he discovers a, chamber maid to
whom the conditions of the alleged
Midwinter fair shape tournament are
unfolded. According to Jack the Meas
urer"s prospectus, there are four grand
prizes. The first is $75 the second $50,
the third $25 and the fourth will be
given a coupon ticket which entities her
to seven admissions to the Midwinter
fair grounds.
Should the maid agree to enter the
contest Jack at once hauls out a tape
line and measures the conf1ding female
in detail. The figures and the name of
the girl are carefully entered in a large
book. No entrance fee is required, nor
lis there anything said regarding the
date Of the opening of the shape con-
test. All the fellow does is to meas
ure the chambermaid, jot down the re-
suit, utter a few pleasing compliments
and make his escape. Each victim is
assured that she will surely win the
first prize.
The measurer is described as a med
ium sized man with a red mustache
and furtive eyes. He is fairly well
dressed and a plausible tall1er in the
presence of susceptible cl1ambermaids
He has also been operating in the
poorer districts south of Market street
where he has measured a number OF
unsuspecting young girls with the con-
sent of their mothers. The munificent
character of the prizes doubtless helps
the man along with his peculiar fad

Feature.

On Tuesday night it is confidently
expected that he mayor will submit
his annual message to the Council.
The document has been in course of
preparation for some time past but
was greatly delayed on account of the
slowness of the heads of departments
in sending III their reports to the
mayor. The subordinate reports are
al in. with the exception of two, and
the message will more than likely be
forthcoming at the next meeting of
the city council.
Mayor Baslin has devoted a great
deal of time to the preparation of the
financial portion of his message and
the document will be the most thorough

FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
a 5oard of Three to Control tn
Fire Department.

Fire Department.
Within the next few days a bill will
be introduced in the house of Repre-
sentatives providing for the creation of
a board of fire commissioners for
every city Of the first and second
classes in this territory, which shall
have complete control of the
fire departments of their -respec-
tive cities, including the appointment
of the chiefs and all other members of
the department. These boards are to
be made up of three members, one to
be appointed by the mayor one by the
governor. and the third by the probate
judge. The terms Of Office shall be
three Years, one of the members going
out of Office every year thereby TAX
ing from the board every semblance
of partisa nism.
Such bill, it is said. will receive the
endorsement of the Insurance men in
the territory and is likely to meet with
general approval from the people at
large. The member who will be re-
spOnsible for the birth of the measure
feels confident of its passage Every
eastern and western city Of any pre-
tensions, outside of this territory has
its hoard of fire commissioners and
their workings are always perfectly
satisfactory to the public. None of the
Offices are salaried, but the members
of the boards are paid according to the
number of meetings held.
When asked yesterday for his opin-
ion Of the matter. Captain Donneu, of
the Pacific Insurance Union, said fire
departments in cities of the first and
second classes could be properly han
died in no other way than by boards of
IRE commissioners. Under existing con-
ditions a mans political belief and af-
filiauons are his sole qualifications for
the position of fire chief and the in
suraRce companies and the taxpayers
are forced to educate new men every
two years at extremely heavy loss.
In the captains opinion the fire de-
partments of the territory should be
taken out Of politics and if that course
is not pursued at once by the legisla-
tors or the various city officials the in
slrance companies will proceed to in
crease the rates OF insurance.

Engineers Department.

The only field work done by the en-
gineer,s department was running the
lines and setting the stakes for the
west side boulevard extension. The
field force has been entirely cut off
and except in case of emergencies the
department consists of but four men.
Considerable office work has been done
during the week and the records are
now in splendid shape for a. transfer
should the mayor and city council de-
eide that one is desirable. Mr.. Doremus
has laid aside the maps of the city's
wather shed, being prepared for sub
mission to Congress in the hopes that
the grant of all the government land
therein can be secured by the city,
for the reason that the notes would
be much more satisfactory to his sue
cessor than the half completed maps.
