LETTER CARRIERS UNIFORMS.

The: JOurneymen Tailors' Union has
protested against the action of Postmaster
General Bissell in virtually issuing an
order to San Francisco letter-carriers to
buy their uniforms of a Cincinnati tailor
ing. firm. While, of course, the Post
master General cannot compel letter
carriers to send orders to the Cincinnati
tailoring firm, he can make it to their
interest to do so. 1t is very small business
for the Postmaster General OF the United
States to engage in. 1t is impossible to
conjecture the motives that induced him to
hand over the patronage of the depart
ment to single tailoring firm. Such work
by rights belongs to the resident tailors.
The Cincinnati firm might make suits for
Cincinnati letter-carrers. but why for San
Francisco letter-carriers? Cincinnati can
not do the work at lower cost than San
Francisco unless her representative firm
gels its work done in swsatshops. This
we suspect to be the case. The sweat
honse system is in full operation in that as
in other Eastern cities. and the Pos master
General of the United States seems to be
helping it along.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Rear Admiral j. S. Skerrett, retired, arrived
on the steamer China yesterday with his wife
and TWO daughters and is at the Occidental. He
left the Asiatic squadron In Yokohama on the
9th and acting Admiral e. G. Carpenter Is
now In command. ADMIRAL Skerrett said, when
questioned about the present troubles In Korea,
that be had some knowledge Of both China ana
Japan, and while he believed that the latter
country would probably obtain some advan-
tages at first, be also believed that tie
Chinese would ultimately win. The latter, he
says, are just as good fighters as the Japs, have
fine ships. but are not as well disciplined be-
cause they have not had the advantage OF in
StruetiOns from European and American officers
to the same extent. There are no English or
American officers in command or In the service
of either the Japanese or Chinese navles, the
admiral says-that Is, not TO his knowledge,
and all their men-of-war are commanded and
manned by natives. Japan's chief drawback is
a lack OF money, of which China has plenty. The
admiral says that he Will go to Washington,

WILL TAKE A REST.

The Senate has determined to take a
longer or shorter rest. 1t probably wants
to review the situation. Tie Republican
Senators have as yet no sins to answer
for, but II the free-trade bill now before
that body should come up for action COM
binations would be formed to give Repub-
lieans the alternative of free sugar or
seeming support of the sugar trust. 1t is
well therefore that the tariff should await
amendment until after the recess. Ninety
days of reflection, enlivened by such
popular verdlcts as will probably be rem
dered in November may possibly convince
both houses of Congress that an imperfect
tariff is preferable to frequent changes. A
good many members who have taken
prominent parts in fixing up the bill the
President now has under consideration
have barely come out alive. The Presi-
dent, Secretary Carlisle, Chairman Wilson
and the conference committee generally
are being severely criticized. Bourke

TIE SOUTHERN PORT.


Senator Mills may not be good authority
on tariff matters. buthe seems to have a
pretty good idea of the causes which have
for SO many years deferred the commence
ment of work on a port for Southern Cali

reports in favor Of San Pedro, but San
Pedro gets nothing but reports. Senator.
Mills now says that in his Judgment the
ownership OF land around these waters is
the principal part OF the controversy. He
would like to know who owns the land.
Senator White replied that information of
this nature was contemplated, whereupon

voted the cash necessary for Senatorial

CLEAN STREETS.

The Retail Merchants Association will
agree that for the $4,000 expended each
year to move dirt about in the streets, and
for $4,000 more. it will keep the streets
clean. Tbs association has Experimental
enough to know exactly what it can do
with a given amount OF money. The
$4,000 that will be required in excess of
the regular appropriation will be raised
by private: subscription. There should be
no trouble about raising the amount. The

additional $4,000 than from twice that

: is, however, largely owing to the dust the
breeze sets in motion. The breeze itself is
rarely uncomfortable. Occasionally, as in
the early part of last week, the air is posi-
lively chilly, but for one such day there
will be FIVE when the weatheris simply
cool. But the dust is the chief cause of
complaint. 1t is this which drives people
to summer resorts, where the heat would

in the way Of taking the dust out Of cur

tested unless their jurisdiction extends
over the whole city. Keeping one street
