THE PUBLIC POUND.

\ HATEVER difference of opinion may exist \NI with regard to the charge brought against Supervisor Deany in connection with the reported intention of some of the Supervisors to take the pound out of the hands of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and appoint another poundmaster, there will be none with re- gard to the proposed change itself. San Francisco has had experience with poundmasters selected to do politics, and will have of them.
 The charge that Supervisor Deany attempted to extort $500 from the society involved in the troversy the proposed return to the old way of administering the pound but is not essential to it Whether the accused official be guilty or innocent the fact will remain that when the pound was in the hands of politician there continual scandals and gross abuses in its management. Nothing oi the kind IS even much alleged against the man agement by the society, and that in itself is suf- clent reason why the pound should be left as it s and all propositions to make change abandoned without further barley.
 In the old days of the political regime the pound was worked in the interests of the lowest class of politicians It is notorious that in order to increase the revenues of the office the poundmasters agents. who were little better than hoodlums did not hes- tate to turn animals out of enclosures and then take them as estrays to the pound Some of these agents even took horses away from small boys who were
 
 of dogs was carried virtually to the extent of steal ing. Ofenses of these kinds were numerous and complaints were frequent. In fact it was just be cause ot these abuses grown to the degree of in toerabe nuisance that the pound was placed in the hands of its present managers.
 It IS said that the objection the part of the Su- pervisors to the management of the pound of the society IS that the officers of the society will not re- lease dogs or other impounded animals at the re- quest of a Supervisor. This deprivation of author ity and power to confer favor upon some heeler oi the ward or other political influential citizen Is doubtless harassing to the Supervisors but the peo- pie can stand that much better than they could stand a return to the old system
 They will not condone revival of fraud and dog stealing in the conduct of the pound simply to enable Supervisor to help friend get dog out of pound without paying the lawful fine Tn fact, they will not pardon restoration of the old political ma chine of ward heelers and hoodlums in the manage ment for any whatever. If the Supervisors are wise they will leave the pound where it is.

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

\ HENkVER political question pre- \A| sents itself to the American people, it is wholly laid aside until finally settled, mat ter how expressing may be the more pressing and urgent measures that arise in the meantime. Every new event than possibly serve to direct attention to the original question made use of for that pur- pose, and agitation for settlement way or an- other IS kept up spasmodically but consistently, until the settlement is effected
 An illustration of this truth is to be found in the discussion of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by popular vote. The issue has been only minor one in politics, has received strong support in either house of Congress and yet 1t contin- ually recurs whenever anything happens which can Tn any way be construed as an evidence that the existing system of election is defective in any way unsatisfactory
 It was to be expected that the violent contest in Ohio the election of Senator Hanna with its accompanying charges Of bribery and curruption to- gether with the long struggle in Maryland would lead to renewal of the controversy the subject. This IS what has happened, and in the Eastern States the press is going over the old ground and discussing the advsability of the proposed amendment with much earnestness as if it were new or dominating issue in the politics of the day.
 It is not at all probable that the amendment will be adopted at any time in the near future. Never theess IS certain that the sentiment in favor o it Is steadily growing in magnitude and increasing in intensity. Prior to the Ohio election many people believed that amendment was not necessary They argued that whenever the voters of State desired to have direct voice in a Senatorial contest, they could accomplish it by having the State conven- tions of the different parties indorse particular ddate thus making his election one of the issues of the legislative campaign.
 This belief has been disspated by the fight made against Senator Hanna by members of his own party. It IS that pledges do not always bind members of the Legislature when conditions are such as to promise personal gain to those who break them. Moreover it is noted that the indorse- ment of candidates for the Senate complcates legs- lative election in way prejudcial to the best in terests of State, voters are thereby compelled to vote for legislative candidates not their merits but with regard to the wholly different merits of the aspirants for the United States Senate.
 From the way things going in all sections oi the Union 1t seems evident 1t is only question of time when serious scandal complication arising out of the present system of eectng Senators will precpitate settlement of the issue At present the amendment has few supporters in Congress, but it is significant that most of the younger Senators in favor of it. and will be prompt to urge it as soon as they see chance for success

MULTIPLYING THE MOURNERS.

n ENCOURAGEMENT is made that man who / \ recently met death by fire in Portland left
 three wives to weep above the charred re- mans ot him. Two of these wives had lived in adjoining blocks and the deceased prior to reach ing safe condition beyond human correction, had maintained pair of establishments supporting each with equal liberalty and loving his homes with all the fervor of the thoroughly domes,icated gentle man. let there must have been times when this husband was subject to conflicting emotions. The possibility of his families meeting accidentally this episode to be followed by dual assault from the two adjacent wives of his bosom must have occurred to him, and made him reflect. A mans affectionate nature may be permitted to expand considerably, but with overexpanse the collapse be regarded as in evltable. Possibly the person under consideration was fortunate in acquiring neat and rapid dispatch by flame. He would have lived only to be roasted and the process would have been indefinitely pro longed
 The third wife lived in Montana To learn that she was only one of trio was doubtless surprise involving considerable grief and expenditure for mourning goods. Altogether this mans habit of marrying tended to unsettle matters which should be regarded stable. When woman is led to the altar she has perfect right to the assurance that so far as the who leads her is concerned an ex- ceptional favor has been bestowed, and that he is not promising every casual acquaintance to cling till death shall them part. Neither is it square deal that by dying should be enabled to create syndicated widowhood, shedding its tears from the ocean to the Rockies. There is no doubt that each widow believes herself to have been the chosen one, and therefore she assumes the duty of mourning. The three widows make a scene of woe, which, considered in its lachrymose toality is
 fearful thing to contemplate It is not fair to the good man who can only leave one widow that the rapscaion who can leave a regiment of them will be more missed and have just as many times more flowers on his grave he has widows beyond the solitary legitimate one

A PERMANENT MINING EXHIBIT

C URATOR WELCOME of the Golden Gate | Park Museum directs attention to the oppor-
 tunity afforded by the Mining Fair to procure for the Park Museum an interesting and valuable ex- hbit of the gold ores of California and also of the implements used in mining from the days of 4o down to the present time. The suggestion is good that 1t deserves something than approval. It should be acted upon and carried to the fullest extent possible
 The Mining Fair is but temporary exhibition. In a few weeks it will pass away and its rich store of exhibits be scattered far and wide. Some effort should be made to collect and retain the valu- able and interesting among them in permanent e,- hibit and in place could that be better done than in the Park Museum
 The expostons held in Philadelphia and in Chi cago have resulted in the establishment in those cities of permanent museums of great value. These museums are among the most noted in the United States and are destined to rank among the most important collections of art and industry in the world. The example thus set should be followed on this coast Every exposition of importance held in San Francisco should contribute its quota to the interesting store at the Park Museum and add to its value as place of entertainment and instruction.
 Collections of any kind whether of art, industry or natural products, are valuable in proportion they comprehensive. Specimens of ores and of old
 
 but curios, acquire high value when placed in a museum where they complete the chain of exhibits of their kind. For individual owner to donate such things to the museum is, therefore, to give something of little value to himself but of great value to the public, and such donors prove them selves to be animated by high degree of genuine public spirit.
 There needed at the Park Museum many ex- hbits of the kind now displayed the Mining Fair As the Curator points out, While this institution already has fairly good showing of minerals, much is lacking in that line especially in choice representa- tions of the gold productions" He also notes that 1t IS desirable to obtain "a good collection of the tools and implements that were used in the days of '4o in mining in this State such as old rockers arastras, quartz mills prospectors, gold pans and horns, and other articles of early usage among the pioneer miners
 permanent museum of our mineral resources and mining history, in connection with general museum of art and industry is certainly desirable; and the collection at the Park furnishes excellent foundation on which to build The museum is all ready of the attractive resorts of the city and IS visited by thousands of people every week and whatever IS done to increase its magnitude and comprehensiveness will be public benefit of perma- nent and far-reaching value

After the fight against the Los Angeles water mo- nopoy had been opened and carried far toward a successful conclusion, the Examiner sniffed the bat tie and bethought it of possible foraging Evidently its failure to have the company recognize its value as an ally has caused 1t to cast its lot with the other side The other side being in the right, this cir cumstance not only seems strange, but is unfortu- nate.

The parade on Jubilee Day brought vividly to mind fact that stares one in the face every time the National Guard and the regulars are seen to- gether. It is plain that training school for officers of the militia would be decidedly advantageous. The disci- pline of the guard would be materially improved thereby indubitably. It Is not that a severer system should be intro duced, but better one; one that could and would be learned by more intimate association with the regular troops. The difference in giving words of com mand, for example, is so broad that that one weakness alone greatly handi- caps the efficiency of the State forces. The manner of issuing orders-though to the civilian 1t may not seem of ! much importance-has a great deal to
