THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

1t is expected NV that the Senate will
reach corsiderat ~ of the wool schedule
in the course of the week. AS the Senate
has departed widely from the principle
of free raw material in respect to other
products there should not be much diff
Guilty in getting some protection for wool.
The rule Of action should be 20 diversity
the agricultural industries as much as pos.
siDle. Instead of legislating to concentrate
the efforts Of farmers upon one OF two
crops encouragement should be given to
make other crops profitable. There are
no two branches more promising than beet
sugar and wool. The latter at present is
the more important industry, but the
former has. perhaps, even greater posi-
bilities. We produce about two hirds of
the wool our factories consume, but only
about one-seventh of our sugar. Sugar
therefore is susceptible OF the greater
growth, but wool is already an industry to
preserve. IL farmers are driven from the
wool-gro wing business and from the sugar.
beet business they will, for want of some
thing better to do. fall back on wheat and
small grains. The effect of this will be to
increase the supply of wheat, which will
drift into foreign markets and help to beat
down prices. The Democrats are cow
talking about the time that will be required
to dispose of the wool schedule. They APP
parently have made up their minds to
carry out the Chicago platform in this
respect But the tactics which have
driven the Senate to restore other raw
material to the dutiabIe list may also pre-
vail in the case of wool.

PRETTY SMALL POLITICS.

The rumor that Attorne y- General Olney
filed the claims against the Stanford es-
tate al the suggestion of two members of
the Cabinet who thought such a movement
would be good politics is quite in keeping
with the knowledge the people have ac-
CURED of Mr. Olney since Mr.. Cleveland
discovered him. A corporation lawyer
who entered the Cabinet of a President
pledged by the platform upon which be
was elected and by his inaugural address
to reDress trusts without an acknowledge
meht of the Inconsistency of his position
could not be expected to hold himself
above tricks Of this sort. The excuse that
can be offered in defense of Mr.. Olney's
methods is that the administration is
sorely in need of some relief measures. 1t
has been throwing out signals of distress
for long time. SerVieeable friends of Mr..
Cleveland have assured the public that at
heart Mr.. Cleveland was in favor Of the
reconciliation of silver; others have said
that he had got his foot up with an inten-
ton Of stamping upon the sugar schedule
Of the Senate tariff bill; others again have
asserted that he would make the construc-
ton Of the Nicaragua canal the browning
feature of his administration. and now we
are told the administration will collect the
debt the Pacific railroads owe the Govern
ment. But these signals OF distress de-
ceive no one. When Acknowledgement
Oney filed the suit against the Stanford
estate the only thought was-What is his
little game now?

HOW AKIN DIED.
Took Whisky on the Way
to Prison.
He Had Frequently Complained of
Pains in the Region of the
Heart.

A great deal of interest is being taken in
the United States MarshaPs Office in the
sudden death of DR.. j. n. Akin. This
became especially deep yesterday when 1t
became generally known that he carried
$50, 600 insurance on his life. and that the
officials of the companies in which the
policies were carried were likely to make
searching inquiry as to the method of his
taking off.
Deputy Marshal S. P. Moncton. who had
charge OF the doctor on the way to San
Quentin. is certain that he took no poison
while in his charge, and he as we'll as the
other officers attribute death to heart dis
ease.
Ever since we have first had charge of
him." he said TO a CALL reporter yester-
day, "ihe doctor had been complaining of
pains in the region of his heart. He
tainted several times in the MarshaPs
Office and once turned absolutely blue in
the face.

he was apparently easy. and said he
thought it was a shame that he was not
allowed to remain in the County Jail until
the court decided on the question of bail,
which he was sure would be allowed, and
the bond for which his friends could readily
furnish.
he didn't say anything about suicide,
but complained somewhat on the boat OF
feeling tired, aud asked for some stimu-
liant. His niece, Mrs. Morris. who was
with us. purchased flask of whisky at the
bar, and l allowed him to take small
swallow of 1t. There could have been no

full length on one of the seats, with his

FREE SHIPS.

Representative Perkins of Iowa, senior
of the Republican minority Of the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries, has prepared a report In opposition
to the Fithian report in favor of free ships.
One point in Mr.. Perkins report is that
European nations persistently protect the
ocean carrying trade. During the year
1898 England. France, Russia, Germany
and Italy paid S16,657, S65 for the transper-
tation of mails by sea. This is as clearly
protection to the ocean carrying trade as
the placing of duties on foreign steel rails
by the American Government is protection
TO the steel rail industry in the United
States. By this policy England has got
possession of the lions share of the
ocean carrying trade precisely as the same
policy has given American iron and steel
manufacturers the bulk OF the iron and
steel business in this country. Mr.. Per-
kins argues logically that the right to buy
ships in the cheapest market would not
give us our proportionate share in the
ocean carrying trade unless seamen's
wages and other expenses of the employ
ment of ships are reduced 10 the foreign
standard. As MIR. Perkins says, the first
cost Of the ship is not TO be the controlling
consideration, but its profitable employ
ment The encouragement Of the ship
building industry in the United States rests
on higher consideration than dollars and
cents. The ability to build as good ships
in this country as may be built else where
is necessary to the maintenance OF our
rank among nations. What place among
naval powers would a nation occupy
which bought its ships of foreign nations
and manned them with foreign sailors {?
Within twenty-five years under the law of
1872 American ship-builders have acquired
the art of building war-vessels that COM
pare favorably with the best in Europe.
Is it reasonable to suppose that such prog
ress could have been made il the naviga-
ton laws had permitted foreign built YES
sells all the privileges that are allowed
American built vessels? In fact. the argu-
ment which applies to the encouragement
of other American industries applies with
even greater force to the ship-building
industry. We not only want the work of
building ships for our own PEG pie, but our
national greatness requires US to know
how to build ships.

LAW AND COMMON-SENSE.

Judge E. F. Dunno of the Circuit Court
of Illinois has given decision in libel
suit against the Chicago Herald in which
law and cOmmon-sense are happily blended.
The Herald had published a dispatch
stating that a Mrs. Smith, who was IN.
known in the Herald Office, had eloped
with young man. After about two
months. during which the Herald had not
been Informed by the parties interested
that the dispatch was untrue. libel suit
was commenced. The case went against
the Herald. and the plaintiff was awarded
$4,000 damages. The Herald appealed.
and in granting the motion for a new trial
Judge Dunno defined the position a news
paper holds toward the public in the fol-
lowing terms:
The modern daily is at once the effect and
instrument OF progress Its propri etors must
answer for wrong done even without express
malice, but they are entitled to fair tr eatment.
When newspaper is led into publishing, un-
knowingly, an untrue statement concerning an
Individual ii should not only reiract when the
truth Is made known, but also compensate The
Injured party for injury already done; but 1t Is
equally the duty of the person thus injured to
make known the truth, demand retraction and
lessen so far as possible the injurious conse-
NuSuCco Vi Tue nOolOus II tbiS w
done and the paper persists in repeating the
statement or refuses ample retraction and
reparation, then it is time for the vindletiVe
lightning of the law to strike. Here party
claiming TO be injured did nothing to stop the
further circulation Of the publication.
The law and common-sense of libel are
summed up in this decision. The public
is protected from malice and from reck-
less publication of Tumors which may
not have originated in malice, but the
newspaper is protected from conspiracy
on the part of individuals TO make an error
the means of collecting heavy money dam
ages. II is held that the parties who con-
slider themselves injured by the publiea-
ton of a report that proves to be untrue
are bound in law to SCI the newspaper
right and to demand such reparation as is
possible by way Of setting the injured
parties right. But it Is also held that a
newspaper should lot be required to verify
every item of news that comes through a
reputable source. This decision does not
give license to the malicious falsifier or to
the wapton purveyor of news for mercen-
airy purposes. 1t affords no relief to that
class of publishers who scatter lbels
broadcast in the belief that the persons
libeled will not dare to seek redress.

TIME FOR ACTION.

The people of the United States are in
danger of being placed in a false position
if Congress does not take speedy action to
build the Nicaragua canal. Lieutenant
Menocal says that the attention of both
England and France has been drawn to
the canal. The engineers of these two
countries have looked over the plans OF
American engineers and have not only
pronounced the project feasible, but esti-
mated the cost much below the American
estimate. From S60,00O.0oO to S75, 600 900
Is very small sum TO expend in opening
a waterway that will save 1900 miles of
ocean travel While neither of these
countries will dispute the right OF the
United States TO construct the canal
neither will be likely 10 wait much longer
for beginning to be made.

THE NEW SAUSALITO.
Engineers Trial Trip Yesterday
Waterfront Notes.


The new ferry steamer Sausalito had her
trial trip yesterday and proved that she is
going to be a regular bay racer.
The trial was to test the efficiency of the
boilers and no attempt was made to de-
velop speed. Everything worked perfectly
and the Fulton iron Works has reason to
feel proud OF its job.
The SausalitO Is almost counterpart of
the steamer San Rafael in the matter of
dimensions. She is more elegantly ap-
pointed than the latter, and when in racing
trim is expected to distance the older boat.
The American ship st. Nicholas Is try
ing to make quick job OF discharging at
Union-street wharf in order to reach Hong
Kong before the end of July to save a
charter.
The method of examining immigrants at
the port of San Francisco is very lax. Too
many cheap people. including scores OF
Japs. are coming in toe easily. 1t is
thought that the immigration Commits
sioner should board vessels in the stream
and might undertake little questioning
of aliens.

GETS $4,000 SALVAGE.
Judge Morrow Hands Down a De-
ciSion Against the Elmbank.

In the United States District Court yes
terday Judge Morrow handed down a de.
cision In favor Of Thomas Price agains
the owners of the British ship Elmbarh
and Stauffer Sc Co., claiming her cargo o.
sulphur. for $40. 900 for salvage.
Saturday, June 20. 1898, the Elm bark
which was discharging her cargo of sui
phur at Union-street wharf, was diseov
cred to be on fire in the hold. The Fire
Department was called out and the SER
vices of three steam tugs were enlisted
but the fire spread and was In fair way to
destroy ship and all, when the services of
Thomas Price. chemist, were engaged.
For nineteen days with muriatic acid and
marble dust he battled with the fire, al
last succeeding in quenching 1t and saving
some of the cargo. His claim for salvage
was refused, and he brought the suit
which resulted in yesterdays decision.
