POLICE PENSIONS.

The amount paid out for police pensions
in New York has increased since 1885 from
$3.50, 1856 to S563, 1856 The total paid since
1885 is $3,30S,6 $50. The number Of PEN
sioners is 1107. and there are 500 waiting to
be retired on the increased salary that goes
into effect on the 1st of January. Police
men appear 10 have retired ordinarily
while in perfect health and in the enjoy
ment of reasonable incomes from their
savings. While a pension system that
provides for the members of the police
and fire departments who are incapaci-
tated for work while in the performance
of duty is just both to the pensioner and
the public who pay the pensions the ut
most care should be taken that it does not
open the way for retired class of public
servitors to sponge upon the public. In the
ordinary work of life men are expected
to provide for their own future. and it Is
only in the case of accident that men who
have worked for the public instead of for
private individuals or corporations should
be placed on the pension list.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN.

1t is apparent that the English Tories
have not implicit faith in the sudden
friendliness of the Russian Government.
1t has been the policy of England not to
help her possible enemy to the sinews of
war. The RothschiIds, who place all the
great European loans out of France. have
heretofore declined 10 undertake the nego-
tiation of a loan for Russia. Naturally
the intelligence that the great English
banking syndicate propose to place Rus
sian loan on the market causes dismay in
the Tory camp. 1t is not so much that
Russia's credit is not good as that the
Northern Bear may be provided with the
means Of making war.

wR. BEAR OF SYDNEY.

When the superin of the Sydney
fire brigade was in San Francisco he was
given an opportunity to study the methods
of our Fire Department. To what extent
he profled by his opportunities no one
seems to know. Mr.. Bear was convivial
sort OF man. and he appears to have been
fully up to The Australian standard in a
contest with stimulants. 1t has been in
timated, with we know not how much
truth, that no enc was found In this city
who could for length of time keep the
pace the Sydney fire expert set. Conse-
quently no one knows exactly what be did
see of the inner workings of our Fire De.
partment while In this Town. But what
Mr.. Bear did see he did not like. He
seems to have left town with the general
impression that such eminent people as
James J. Corbett, Lillian Russell. Blapch
Walsh and a certain Stanford University
professor were not far off in their estimate
of San Francisco. It is not, however. the
opinion OF these birds of the wing that
gives character to our city, but what we
do or fail to do ourselves. In some re-
spects we ara doing very we'll. Our prin.
cpal streets have never presented so fine
an appearance as they do now. In one
department of our Superior Court there is
evidence furnished each day that the day
is past when political adventurous car
juggle with ballots with impunity. Not
withstanding Mr.. Bears criticism of our
Fire Department, every. one knows thai
it is more efficient now than at any for
mer time. While our rich people are yet {
little slow in coming 10 the aid Of industrial
enterprises that would keep labor EN-
ployed az fair wages and pay capital fai

WHY is THE CANAL AMERICAN {?

Mr.. j. B. Navarro asks THE CALL if
the United States has any more right than
any other nation to build and control the
Nicaragua canal and if so why so. By
kind of Inwritten international law, the
right of each nation to control approaches
that in the hands of enemies would leopard
izs national existences OF seriously
threaten national pros perty is recog-
nized. An example of the exercise of this
right is The protest on the part of the
United States against the transfer of Cuba
by Spain TO the possession of a great naval
power. While there has been no inter
national agreement to abide by the deter
mination expressed by the United States.
the fact of such expression has afforded
Spain certain security in the possession
of the island. In respect to Hawaii a
similar announcement has been made.
The islands would be very valuable to
England, bus the English Government
recognizes the fact that the location of the
islands invests the United States with
right to protest to the extremity even of
war against the acquisition of the islanus
by great European power Somewhat
analogous would be the acquisition of
Ireland by any European power or COM
bnation of powers after the Independence
of Ireland was recognized by England.
The geographical location of Ireland is
such that England would put forth the
same strength to repel an attack upon
Ireland even after its independence had
been recognized that ii would put forth to
defend any part of English soil.
The demands of commerce require the
construction of the Nicaragua canal The
cutting of a waterway between the At
lantic and Pacific would be convenience
to European nations. but it would not
vitality affect any one of them. The United
States is the only great nation whose abil-
ity to pro ect itself from attack would be
materially impaired by the opening OF the
canal and its common use by all nations.
The United States lies on both oceans.
Holding possession of the canal it could
move its warships from Atlantic 10 Pacific
waters, while its enemies would be COM
PEELED to make use Of the CAGE Horn route
10 reach the same points. The advantage
of the canal in the event of war 10 the
party possessing it would be sufficient to
largely affect if not absolutely to deter
mine the result. From commercial point
of view the canal is Of the highest i'm por-
lance. 1t would give the Pacific Coast the
cheapest and quickest route to lhe grain
markets of the world. 1t would solve the
problem of transcontinental Transports
ti9n, inasmuch as it would establish rates
on the lowest practicable basis. In this
estimate of the value If the canal we are
assuming that the Government of the
United States own and control ii. reserying
its use in time of war to our own vessels
and in time of peace opening it on even
terms TO the commerce Of the world.

JOHN BURNS OF ENGLAND.

John Burns, member of Parliament,
workman, leader of the dock strike, has
been talking a; DenveF to the Federation
of Labor. John Burns is like Samuel
Gompers and Chief Arthur of the Locomo-
tive Brotherhood; he Is a hard-headed,
practical man, who believes that two and
two make four. and that every man owns
his own property; that man cannot live
without food He does not take much
stock in theories. He is confident be-
lever in the improvement of the working
class by education and organization. The
service which such leaders of men can
render at the present crisis is incalcuable.
Outcries against the decadence of the
age break out Spasmodically. They were
particularly violent in England nearly
half century ago. and on that occasion
they proceeded from the mouth of such
distinguished men as Thomas Carlyle,
Charles Kingsley and Canon Maurice.
They led to the formation OF the Chartist
party. The trainers OF the charter of that
party were not demagogues nor time
servers nor tools. Maurice, Kingsley and
Carlyle were honest endowed with intelli-
gence above the average, and meaning
we'll to all men. Yet Maurice founded the
school of Christian socialism, Carlyle con-
signed modern civilization to the demni-
tion bowwows in his Latter Day Pamph-
let's" Kingsley preached communism in
ALTON Locke" What was the result
Absolutely nothing, so far as the improve
ment of the poor or the status of labor
were concerned. The reformers created a
vast amount of irritation and exaspsra-
ton. But they had no building to substi-
tute for the edifice which they proposed to
tear down: and the effect of their groan-
| ings-well meant as they were-simply
was to aggravate the evils they were try
ing to cure, by widening the interval be-
tween vested interests and the rights of
manhood.
Monopoly on the one side and probe
tarianism on the other are INCREASINGLY

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Two travelling men at the Palace were yes
terday speaking OF the wearisome journey
across the continent, especially to the person
who had often made the trip and to whom the
scenery was an old story. While they were
talking third gentleman broke in with the
remark that he had spent many pleasant min
utes while travelling and When time passed
slowly in very simple manner, and that was
in estimating the speed al which the train was
travelling. "You often hear passengers ask, Il
wonder how fast we are going?' and it is the
easiest thing in the world to ascertain with the
aid of watch. The rails on nearly all rail-
roads are thirty feet in length, and you
can easily tell when each rail joint is
passed over by the peculiar sound which the
truck wheels make. Now. II you will count
the number of rail-lengths the car passes over
in twenty seconds You have approximately the
number of miles per hour the train is going.
Another, but more complicated method OF ar
irving at the same result is TO note the number
OF feet car goes in minute and divide the
sum by SO. This Is done by securing the num-
Der OF rails passed over 10 one minute and
multiplying that by 80, the number Of feet in a
rail. person OF an lnquiring turn of mind

supply. That point is at Oakland. where the

This means of course that unless sugar
