A CONTRAST WORTH NOTING.

EFORE public interest the expedition for the relief of the
sailors the whaling eetof Point Barrow weakened by
the coming of incidents, it will be worth while for the
people of California take the difference between the
method pursued by THE CALL in dealing with the issue and
that pursued by the 1t is the difference between
legitimate honest help and fake of pretended help and it is
time that the wayfarng man, though fool should un-
derstand this difference for it is matter of Importance to all
who are in any way affected by newspapers
AS THE CALL learned that fleet of American
whaling ships icebound in the Arctic Sea under crcum-
stances that threatened awful suffering among the the
Ships at took steps procure from the Government
relief expedition When the Secretary the Navy announced
that he had authority provision relief ship without an
appropriation from Congress, THE CALL offered to furnish all
the supplies needed for the expedition
This offer of THE CALL was not made as bluff, for
seadversng 1t made unforeseen emergency
which threatened defeat the plan of sending immediate relief
to the whaes Moreover it honestly made was not
based condition that others should subscribe ten times
much THE CALL subscribed. 1t not made upon
the proposition that HE CALL would pass the hat around and
if others gave much then THE CALL would give some
thing. 1t was not in any bluff fake 1t was
plain business, honest proposition meant simply what it
sad the Government could not at provision relef
ship HE CALL would do so at its cost
The Examiner paid no attention the from the
whaling fleet until the action of THE CALL gave the
ment for relief the importance of sensation. heeupon the
Examiner the chance circulate the hat and take up
another of those subscriptions it has found profitable
gathered concerning the whaling fleet but offered to
contribute S25co the relief fund and to obtain from base
ball combination $4,000 provided the public would drop
$50, 900 into the Examiner hat.
he offer of the yellow journal was worth nothing In
the first place. before $4,000 could be collected by private sub
scrpon the Arctic winter would have set in and would be
impossible to get anywhere the bound fleet before next
summer In the second place. the offer had suggestion OF
fraud the face nasmuch placed the Examiner subsrp-
ton at S5oOo thus claiming the baseball rakeo part of the
Examiner Donation when it has but short time since the
Examiner itself declared had nothing to do with the baseball
scheme and had control whatever of the money took
In the third place the offer worthless for the editor of
the Examiner absentee who cannot be reached either by
private citizens by law officers who desire collect money
from him, his subscription lacked great deal of being
guarantee
Here then is the contrast between honest help and
fraud between legitimate journalism and fake 1t to the
interest of the pubic that this difference should be we'll and
widely noted.

Billion-DoIlar Congresses.

Notwithstanding the grim determina-
ton of Speaker Reed to prevent a
waste of the peoples money--a deter
mnation, it should be said, in which
he has been unprecedentedly successful
in spite of great pressure from men,
bers anxious for political reasons to
pass public building and other just
now non-essential appropriations-th
present congress is likely in its eX-
penditures to go several million dollars
beyond the limit of the much-derded
Billion Dollar congress. No estimate
can be made yet until it can be seen
to what extent the pending appropria-
tion bills are likely to be trimmed down
in debate, but ii is certain to be a bill
lion dollar congress, and maybe more
However, this does not mean that
the expenditures Of the present con-
gress have been unwise, or that they
represent an increase in the actual
burden laid upon the nation. AS Rob-
ert p Porter, the well-qualified statis-
tician, in a recent letter has pointed
out the real test is the per capita eX-
penditure for federal purposes. For
the last eight years this has been:

The New Capitol.

Governor Hastings statement of the
reasons why the state capital should
not be removed from Harrisburg is
sufficient to settle this point, If, indeed,
1t had ever been unsettled. The talk
of removal has from the first been artih-
clal, and was started chiefly to spur the
citizens of Harrisburg to the provision
of better protection against fire and to
other concessions. BY all accounts
these objects have been attained, conse-
quently the agitation for removal may
with propriety cease.
AS to the form in which the burned
capitol shall be restored, that subject
will bear careful study. The governors
suggestion is that instead of undertake
ing to build one massive structure,
which would involve large initial cost
at a time when the finances of the COM
monwealth are already seriously en-
barrassed, and which would not be
available for four or five years to come,
the new capitol should be so planned
as to become one of a group of state
buildings, and built just large enough
for the legislatures needs Such
building could be completed in time for
the next general assembly, and the COM
panion buildings for the various depart
ments could be added from time to time
as circumstances would permit.
AT first thought this suggestion runs
counter to the widespread feeling in
favor of Representative" capitol; but,
after ALL is it for any practical reason
necessary or desirable that the COM
monWealth should seek to glorify itself
In architecture? Would not a series OF
buildings, separated one from another,
present quite as sensible an appearance
and be in addition more business-like?
In that case, a fire in one building
would not endanger the whole invest
ment, and the number of buildings could
be increased to keep pace with the
growth in departmental work. Beyond
a certain point it is not so much the
beauty of the capitol as it is the etticien-
cy of the labor done within it in which
the commonwealth should be concerned.
The suggestion of the governor as to the
form of the new capitol is one, we think,
that will grow in favor.

Slightly Overdone.

1t is, of course, easily possible to
carry a good reform to extremes, and
this should be guarded against. A
physician writes to the Sun of case
in which it appears that the new rules
of the Gotham board of health rela-
tive to the prompt certification and in
vestigation of cases of tuberculosis
were enforced imprudently. This ply
sician, in his attendance upon one of
the city hospitals, recently examined
and prescribed for a young man with
incipient consumption. Although de-
pressed in spirits, his general condition
was good and an encouraging opinion
of his disease. At the same time he
was instructed regarding the proper
sanitary and hygienic precautions to
be observed. The physician adds:
AS is required by regulation, the hos
pital clerk reported the case to the health
department. A few days later the pa
tents mother and sister, in tears and
alarm, called at my Office with a story
of the health inspectors visit. a PAM
phlet of instructions had been left for
lHeUl 10 IOllOW, conspicuous III NIllCH were
directions for the care of the patients
body after death. the preparation of anti
septic winding sheets, and the whitewash-
ing, painting and diSinfection of the room
after removal of the body. The effect of
these gruesome details, which might with
propriety, perhaps, be given to an under
takers helper. upon the unfortunate pa
tient himself, who was the first to read
them, may be imagined. OF a delicate,
sensitive nature, he was plunged into n
fit of dependency, from which he was
several days recovering. His family was
convinced that his condition was much
worse than represented at the hospital
and it took no little persuasion to over
come the bad effect of the careless want
of tact and thoughtless cruelty of the in
spector's visit. 1t may we'll be doubted
if the public here is prepared for a sort
of thing which would scarcely be toler-
ated in Russia or Imperial Germany. The
infectiousness of consumption is conced-
ed to be so slight that very simple pre-
cautions are sufficient to reduce the dan
ger to a minimum, and there would seem
to be no good reason why these should not
be left to the discretion of the physician
rather than to the perfunctorY visit of an
official who has no personal interest in the
patient
We are inclined to believe with this
