THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The official statement for the month
just issued by the Treasury Department
shows the public debt, less cash in the
treasury, now amounts to 1895, 769 159, be-
ing an increase for the month of Novem-
Der of 1920 83. Thus another large
amount is added to the increasing deficit,
and the situation of the treasury is as
gloomy as it has been at any time during
the Cleveland administration.
These monthly statements. showing a
steady increase in the public debt, consti-
tute strong argument in favor of some
kind of tariff legislation during the COM
ing winter. Many mem pers of Congress
believe that it is the first duty to PROVE
the Government with revenue adequate
to its expenditure, leaving the broader
subject of a thorough restoration of the
protective system to the next Congress.
That there are good reasons for this po-
sition is beyond question. It is to some
extent disgraceful that Nation so rich
as ours should be running further into

AROUND TIE CORRIDORS.

Frank Ross OF Tacoma is in the City direct
from New York, in company with other cap
italists, negotiating for the construction of an
electric railway line from Tacoma to Seattle.
Mr.. Ross is one OF the most progressive men
in the orthwest. During the active times in
the Puget Sound country, from 1887 to 1892,
he was leader in enterprise. He built and
equipped the Tacoma and Olympia Railroad
and subsequently sold it TO the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. He acquired remarks BILE
influence among the Puyallup tribe of Indians,
whose reservation touches the eastern line of
the city of Tacoma and extends along the
eastern shore of Commencement Bay on Puget
Sound-the western shore being the water
front of Tacoma.
Some years ago Mr.. Ross, with the consent
and the aid, as laborers, of the Indians, began
the building of railroad through the reserva-
ton toward Seattle He was orde by the
War Department to cease, but continued right
along, claiming that the Indians themselves
were building the road through their own
ervation, and that they had right to do so.
A company of infantry was ordered from
Vancouver to the place, and for time things
looked warlike. The matter went into the
court. and Ross, If not defeating the Govern
ment itself, still maintained his footnold, and
has now a clear right of way, and with the
signs of returning prosperity, is about to I'M
dertake the building of the road again.
Ross has been travelling in the South and
East for some months, and is accom- panied
here by several Chicago and New York men
who are interested in his enterprise.

A GALA NIGHT.

The progressive merchants of Sixth
street. between Market and Folsom. are
making arrangements to give the City a
festival next Saturday night in celebration
of the work which they have accomplished
in the way of improving that thorough.
fare. 1t is to be hoped that the occasion
will be successful in every respect, for the
improvement is one of which the promo
tiers may be justly proud, and in which
they may rightly rejoice.
The celebration very appropriately will
be one of illumination. 1t ought to serve
to throw light not only upon the improve
ments of that street. but upon the whole
subject OF street Improvements. 1t should
be bright enough to attract the attention
of merchants and property owners in
every district of the City and awake in
them spirit of earnest emulation.
Street improvements OF all kinds are
needed in San Francisco. We need bet
ter paving, better sweeping, better light
ing anc better sewers. 1t matters not in
which of these features of our streets the
Improvement takes place, ii will be
worthy of a celebration whenever it is ac-
complished. 1t is in the highest degree
satisfactory that at this time merchants
and property owners in so many sections
of the City are working with energy for
nearly all forms of these Improvements,
for their work gives a reasonable hope
that it will not be long before great re-
suits will be attained.
The men of Sixth street will have plenty
of concentrations to inspire them to
true rejoicing when they hold their gala
night on Saturday. They will be the re-
ciplents of congratulations from all sides,
and will no doubt have large concourse
of people from all other sections of the
City to help them make the festival COM
mensurate with the occasion and worthy of
the hard work and genuine public spirit
which were involved in the task they
have accomplished.

A PACIFIC CABLE.

According to reports from Washington,
it is expected an effort will be made at the
coming session OF Congress to procure the
passage OF the Hawaiian cable bill, which
was fayorably reported by the Committee
the House of Representatives at he last
session.
The bill is entitled can act TO facilitate
the construction and maintenance of tele-
graphic communication between the
United States, the Hawaiian Islands,
Japan and China, and to promote COM
MERGE" Much interest was shown in the
project during the last session of Con-
gress, but it came up too late for any ac-
ton to be taken on il at that time.
By the provisions OF the bill reported
to the House of Representatives the Post
master General is authorized 10 enter into
a contract with the Pacific Cable Company
for the payment thereto OF $4,000 year
for twenty years, for the construction and
operation OF an electric submarine cable
from San Francisco to Honolulu, and such
places on the coasts of China and Japan
as the company with his approval may
select.
These provisions are subject, of course,
tn conditions which will guard the Gov
eminent from loss in case the company
should fail 10 fulfill any part of its con-
tract 1t is probable that either this or a
bill of similar nature Will be taken up as
soon as Congress meets and pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible. Public inter-
est in the subject has grown steadily ever
fI,o, 70 No o1a dc ~
the United States was first brought for
ward. 1t has been increased of late by
the growing desire for an expansion OF
American commerce. and has, therefore, a
stronger support than ever before.
In its report in favor of the passage Of
the bill the House committee called at
tention to the fact that within the last few
years the United States Government has
been at great expense in maintaining men
of war for purposes of communication be-
tween California and the Hawaiian
Islands owing to the lack of means of ca
Bile communication, ana went on to say
GAS far as Japan, China and other por-
tons OF the Asiatic continent are con-
cerned, the present rates charged for mes
sages between the United States and those
countries are SO high as to be practically
prohibitive except where matters of the
highest importance are involved"
These considerations have lost none OF
their weight since the time they were first
submitted, and will have no little effect in
determining Congress to take some action
this winter. The cable. it is needless to
say, will be of great advantage to San
Francisco, and will have a tendency TO
promote our commerce with the islands
and the Orient. We can therefore regard
with satisfaction the prospects of an inn
mediate passage of the bill and give it
cordial support when it comes up before
Congress.
