PLURAL VOTING.

Among other reforms commended in the
Queens speech is a measure to abolish
plural voting. In England man votes
where he lives, as men do in the United
States; but he also votes wherever he has
land, so that rich men who own estates in
several shires cast many votes, as many as
half a dozen or more. To the English
Liberals this has long seemed an unfair
arrangement, as it gave rich men more
political weight than poor men, and it has
for several Parliaments been one of the
ancient abuses that were marked for
slaughter. Perhaps one reason why the
present Ministry proposes to act on it now
is the adoption OF plural voting in Belgium,
where the new constitution gives a man
one vote for his manhood, one for his edu-
cation and one for his wealth.
The subject of the limitation which
should be set on the franchise has been
pretty thoroughly discussed by political
scientists but it cannot be said to be ex-
hausted. The convention which framed
the Federal constitution was converted to
equal suffrage by Franklin's witty
story of the jaekass. Indeed, even now,
there is no answer to the argument that if
man who owns nothing cannot vote,
while he who owns jaekass worth $50 can,
it is the iackass that votes and not the man.
But the experience of universal suffrage
in this country and in France has
generated a school which holds that as
men are not equal in intelligence, educa-
ton, or stake in the commonwealth, they
ought not to be equal in political power.
This school insists that some arrangement
should be devised by which voters should
in some way be classified, according to
their presumable capacity to cast honest
and intelligent votes. and according to the
degree to which they will be affected by
bad legislation. We see the progress
which these ideas are making in the pro-
visions of the latest State constitutions
requiring an educational qualification from
voters In several of the new States a
man cannot vote unless he can read and
write. And in naturalizing foreigners
Judges are pretty generally refusing to
make citizens of men who do not under
stand the constitution of the United
States.
Mere wealth does not necessarily imply
superior fitness for citizenship. Some of
the best citizens in this country are quite
poor. Men who devote their time to the
study of science, whether it be political or
physical or psychological, have rarely time
or aptitude for the acquisition of wealth.
1t would be manifestly unwise to place
such men in class below mere money
getters, who have grown rich by the in
crease in value of their landed possessions.

THE ALASKA GOLD MINES.

The dispute between Canadians and
Alaskans over the gold diggings on the
Yukon is just what was expected when the
Typographical Survey Department began
to trace out the frontier line between
Alaska and British Columbia The divid-
ing line follows the meridian of 140 deg.
from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic Ocean.
Some years ago Messrs. Magrath and 9TH
ers traced part of this line, and marked it
by cairns of stones and blazed trees, but
there are long gaps, in which solar OBJ
servation is needed to determine where the
line runs. The chief diggings at present
are on continent of the Yukon called
Forty-mile Creek which takes its rise in
the territory of Alaska flows east, crosses
the 141st parallel and falls into the Yukon
in Canadian territory. The question now
in dispute is whether the gold-bearing
gravel in Forty-mile Greek is found east or
west of that parallel. That is a question
which a competent surveyor, with the
proper instruments, can determine in an
hour, and his report will set the contro-
versy to rest.
The most valuable portion of the Yukon,
its fisheries, and, presumably its future
ulIl6S, dIo ENTHUSIASTICALLY III OdIdOds IL
is pity, but that is the fact. 1t would
have been better, on all accounts, to have
taken the Mackenzie River and the Rocky
Mountains running south from Fort Simp-
son as the frontier line and to have made
British Columbia American territory. But
it is too late to consider that now; ma
tional feeling is enlisted in the preservation
of British dominion from ocean to ocean,
and no geographical redistribution can
take place except at the close of war.
The result is that while the gold and the
fish and large portion of the furs taken
in the Yukon Valley come from British
territory their only possible outlet is
through American territory. Everything
which is produced on the Upper Yukon
must seek market by way of the lakes in
which the river takes its rise, across the
Chilcat range, and down to the little mar
Dor of Chilcat, where there is q salmon
cannery under the American flag. Some
day practicable road for freighters will
be built through one of the passes in
the Chilcat range, and Forty-mile Creek
will be placed within three or four weeks
of San Francisco, instead of being as many
months distant by the steamers which
ascend the Yukon; but that is in the dim
distance.
In the meantime it is not worth the
while of the Forty-mile Greek miners to
fight over the question whether they are
working on American or on British soil,
nor will the Dominion Government exhibit
wisdom if it tries to enforce its own mining
regulations in the disputed territory. 1t
is more important just now to see if there
are not richer deposits on the aff1uents of
the Yukon than those which are being
exploited. The yield of Forty-mile is
making no one rich.

UNDER PRESSURE.

The Legislature of the State is now under
the pressure of the lobby. The advocates
of retrenchment are far off, and the sup
porters of extravaganza are near at hand.
No legislator escapes from the importuni-
ties of the one, while there are perhaps
many who do not receive from their con-
stituents the encouragement to stand firm,
which they ought to have in their daily
contests for economy and good govern
ment.
This condition of things is not surpris-
ing. There are many persons in the State
who either directly or indirectly have large
interests in the maintenance of abuses
while there are none who have much OF
personal advantage to gain by working for
the public good. The supporters of ex-
listing extravaganza therefore flock to Sac
ramento in large numbers, while the
friends of good government stay at home.
This gives the lobby an advantage OF
which it will know how to profit, and it is
at this time turning it to every use that
ingenuity can devise.
The pressure thus brought to bear upon
the average legislator is hard for him to
resist, and particularly so if he is mex
perienced in politics and is not aware that
lobby is always less strong than tap
pears. General Grant once compared the
noise and clamor made by lobbyists to that
made by coyotes, and said that in both
cases they were always less numerous
after they were counted. This is as true
of Sacramento as of Washington, and
it is worth while for legislators to
remember it. Urgent pleas will be
made for the maintenance of useless
commissions and the continuance of use
less officials of all kinds, and letters and
petitions will be submitted supporting
them. The legislator, however, should
not be deceived. Petitions can be drawn
up and signatures obtained for any propo-
sition, and the very men who sign them
will afterwards condemn the Legislature
for granting them.
The true voice of the people was ex-
pressed in the campaign. 1t was clear
and emphatic demand for retrenchment
and economy. The people have not
changed since that time. What they sup
ported then they demand now. Every
legislator is expected to fulfill his cam
pain pledges. The Republican majority
must make a record that the party can pro-
claim in its platform at the next election.
Thus far everything promises well. It is
evident that the leadership at Sacramento
is in the hands of men who are earnest and
capable in their efforts at economy, and the
rank and file should support them at every
step. Public opinion will condemn every
man who yields to the lobby, while for
those who stand firm there will not only be

THEIR SALARIES INVOLVED
School Directors Do Not Agree on a
Schedule.
Some of the Beard Desire to Use a
Large Surplus for Other Pur.
poses in the Schools.

There was an interesting meeting of the
Salary and Finance committees of the
Board of Education yesterday. The object
was to take final action on the proposition
to raise the salaries of the schoolteachers
to the schedule in operation before the
last board made any reductions. All OF
the members of the different committees
were in attendance and the whole subject
was thoroughly discussed. Director Clln-
ton submitted new schedule to go into
effect Immediately on its adoption.
DIR. Clinton's schedule made all the sal
aries, with few exceptions, similar to those
which prevailed before the reduction.
President Dodge was in favor of good sal
aries, and said that if there were funds
enough on hand he would be in favor OF
the raise. Director Carew believed that
there had been no occasion for reduction,
as there had been plenty of money on hand
at the time.
Dr. Clinton said that there would be a
surplus of $25, 200 at the close of the fiscal
to pay the teachers their salaries, and it
was an outrage to cut them down in the
way the last board had DONE Directors
Stone and Scott were inclined to restore
the salaries to the old schedule, but
thought the board should go slow in the
matter Directors Murdoch and Scott said
there were certain things to be provided
for which would probably take all the ex-
pected surplus.
If the salaries were not restored at once
on account of lack of money, the board
could easily restore them in June, when a
new appropriation would be made. There
were certain improvements to be made in
the schools; many of them would have to
be painted, and a lot of apparatus had to
be provided for the high schools. 1t was
thought that these would take all of the
$25, 600 surplus.
The general sentiment of the Directors
was to restore the salaries, but no definite
conclusion was reached. The joint COM
mittee will hold another session before the
meeting of the board next Wednesday,
when a report will be made which will
settle the anxiety of the teachers of the de-
partment on the subject

AGAINST THE EXTENSION.
Robert Hind Wants Potrero Avenue

Robert R. Hind has brought suit to have
the city and county and the Superin-
tendent of Streets restrained from selling
or in any way interfering with his prop
erty for the purpose of extending Potrero
avenue along the proposed line.
Hind alleges that neither the public con-
venience nor necessity requires the extern
sion, that no petition to have the work
done was ever presented to the Board OF
Supervisors, and that the resolution, by
reason of certain technicalities not COM
piled with, was never actually passed. He
also alleges irregularities in the resolution
itself, in the method of advertising and in
posting notices, and also in the assessment.

QUIT HIS POSITION TOO SOON:
Mrs. Kate Johnson's Request Falls to a
Stranger.

Edward Stangle, elevator-boy in the
Johnson block, at 100 Suffer street, received
the congratulations of his friends, and
treated them to cigars and candy yester-
day. A fortuitous circumstance had made
him one of the legatees of Mrs. Kate john
son, whom he did not know and had never

Mrs. johnson provided in her will that
each person in her employ at the time OF
her death should receive 500. Ned Waters
had charge of the elevator in the Johnson
block when the will was executed and was
one of Mrs. Johnsons favorite employees.
The day before Mrs. Johnson died Waters
was offered position by Phelps & Miller,
who have offices in the Johnson block, and,
concluding that change of occupation
would benefit him, he entered their EN-
ploy. The position that he resigned was
given to Stangle, who thus became entitled
to the legacy
