those journals out of their homes their

day reports come of some new acts of ex-

A partial list of the institutions which

In the homes of intelligent people tney

age. AS the New York Times says: "Iney
begin to see clearly that the newspapers
that have and hold the attention OF intei-
ligent and respectable men anu women
possess the highest value for the adver-
tiser."
In this way the crusade in the East goes
on and society protects itself from the
evils of gutter journalism. The move
ment has now 80 far progressed in New
York that the result can be easily lore
seen. There has been, first, the moral
revolt in the home against unclean sensa-
tional newspapers. This revolt extendeo
to the libraries and the clubs and has now
affected the advertisers. The decadent
journals have lost the patronage wnicn
pays and will soon die for lack OF support.
The slums to which they pander cannot
sustain them, and when they have per-

fore they will die out in all other parts OF
the country.
As the New York Sun says:

will stand abuse and vulgarity almost TO the
breaking point, but once their antipathy ana
their detestation are aroused their sense OF
antagonism and disgust is as acute as their

A CURRENCY PLAN.

j. Brisben Walker in the March mum Der
OF the Cosmopolitan proposes plan of
currency reform which he thinks would
compass the ch-desired features of
automatically expanding and contract
ing the currency in accord with
commercial and industrial needs. He
claims to have given twenty five
years study to the subject of the
safest and best way OF supplying me-
dium of exchange. and that plans similar
to his have been indorsed by such noted
fnanciers as John Sherman and ex- Secre-
tary Window.
HIS idea is to replace the National bonds
with a new issue, which would be made
eagerly sought after by the enactment OF
law that they could be held by the
banks in lieu of their required reserve
fund These bonds he would make inter.
convertible with United States legal
tender notes at the will OF the holder, and
he thinks the bonds could now be sold
with an int rest as low as per cent. The
results he counts upon are that disastrous
panics from scarcity of cash would be
avoided, and the remote sections of the
South and West wherever they had good
security WOuiu nave tQudi AuduCfal idCiii.
ties with the East.
By his system the author says whenever
an unusual amount OF money was needed
to move crop, or whenever a scarcity OF
currency threatened disastrous financial
crash, the 2 per cent bonds could readily
be obtained by merchants offering their
i or per cent notes. These bonds they
could take to any large postotfice and con-
vert them into currency notes. Just as
soon as the pressing urgency for money
was over these notes could be reconverted
into bonds, which would be always avail
able at fixed price, in order to save the
per cent rather than let the currency lie
idle. Thus automatically the volume OF
money would expand in exact proportion
to the needs of trade, and quickly con-
tract again to the normal amount when
the necessity of the extra issue passed
sway.
Since President Mckinley has recon-
mended the appointment OF commission
to devise a currency plan for submission
to Congress it is probable We shall have
many theories on the iect to consider be.
fore the problem is solved. That of Mr..
Walker offers many advantages, and some
of its features might well be adopted
when rearranging our monetary system
and revising our banking laws.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

The letter from Congressman Loud to
the committee appointed to request him
to urge upon the officials at Washington
an i'm mediate beginning of the work OF
constructing the new Federal building is
in every respect encouraging. 1t holds
out to the people fair assurances that the
work will speedily begin if only harmony
and cooperation prevail here.
Mr.. Loud points out that the delay in
the construction of the worK in the past
has been largely due to antagonisms in
this City. He says: clippings of the San
Francisco papers are kept on file here. and
almost every effort that has been made by
the delegation has been counteracted by
our own people," That these statements
are accurate is we'll known, and 1t remains
with the people of San Francisco to de-
cioe whether they will give any encour-
agement to those who antaeonize the new
building or will 90 forward, cordially CO.
operating with The CALL in its efforts to
bring about the construction of the work
without further delay.
The outlook for the enterprise is thus
stared by Mr. Loud: Sufficient money
has been appropriated by Congress to in
building was placed under what We cal!
the continuous contract system-that is,
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to enter into contract for the completion
of the building. Now, if we can amicably
settle with some of our people the matter
of plans for the building l think We shall
have no difficulty in getting it started
during tie early summer"
1t will be seen from this that the work
is largely in our own hands. To accom-
plish that which we desire it is only reces-
sary that we should act together in that
harmony with which the new agitation
has thus far been conducted. The City
needs the building and her workingmen
require the employment its construction
will give. These two needs emphasize the
Importance OF cordial cooperation at this
juncture. Let US act wisely, therefore, so
that when the summer comes we shall see
the building under way and our workmen
employed

PLEASED With IHE DRIVING
Bosom Herald.


Apropos OF the arrest of young woman in
New York for having run over man on Fifth
avenue, the writer of this paragraph vivldly
recalls his experience In the same city and on
the same avenue some time ago.
1t was on a wiltry day in February, and the
sleighing was good. barga drawn by four
spirited horses and filled with merry sleigh
ing party came gliding down the avenue, the
horses In full gallop. At one OF the crossings
the leaders struck the young m an from Bos ton,
who was thrown fat on his back, tie four
horses passing over him on the run. Before
the horses could be stopped the barge had
partly passed over the PROSTATE body of the
young man, and he was pulled out from be-
tween the fore and aft runners. There were
screaming and fslnting among the crowd VINO
witnessed the spectacle but luckily the young
man had no cause to join in the shrieking or
swooning. He had gone through his frightful
experience without incurrtng scratch or a
bruise. On regaining mis- ieet q policeman
rushed up and shouted:
'1his is an outrage, sir. Shall arrest the
reckless driver?'
NO." said the young man from Bost
''Any man who can drive four horses and q
barge over me without in juring me deserves q
medal, not reproof Let him gop'

Grammar Glasses Makes New Ac-

The matter of new schoolhouse for the
Richmond District was discussed before
the Buildings and Grounds Committee of
the Board of Education yesterday.
Richmond has grown so fast OF late thatl
the school facilities are not sufficient to
accommodate the pupils and deputation
of residents of the section was invited to
explain to the committee their needs in
the matter.
Superintendent Fletcher of ODD Fellows
Cemetery addressed the committee, stat
ing that many pupils had to attend down.
town grammar schools because there were
no classes to accommodate them near
their homes. He said that If the board
would stand by the Richmond people and
make provision for school the citizens
there would doiall in their power to per-
suade the Board of Supervisors to grant an
appropriation for the purpose.
He stated the ctz would content
themselves with additional classrooms to
the present schools in the locality if a
new building could not be obtained and
provided the extra rooms would care for
the pupils.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee
will discuss the matter and report to the
board at an early date.

1.-THE HUMP" rs GOING.
Cutting Through the North End of Poll
Street in Progress.


The work of cutting through "the
hump" on the north end of Polk street,
which the Polk-street Improvement Club
has for some time past bean seeking to
have removed, is now being prosecuted.
There are a number of men and teams
working for Warren & Malley, who have
commenced at the southern end of the OBJ
struction. and they will continue until
the work is completed. This will con-
tinue for about two months, unless heavy
rains interfere to prevent progress.
The club went before the Legislature
and had bill introduced to admit of
change of grades that will be affected by
the cut. but as yet no definite action has
been taken.
Tomorrow afternoon the executive COM
mittee of the Polk-street Club and repre-
sentatives from the other improvement
clubs will meet in the club headquarters
to take initial steps to have the City az
thorities assume the lighting of streets Iof
the City by electricity.
