SENATOR WHITES RETIREMENT.

I-HF announcement that Senator Stephen M White has determined to retire from pubic lite
 and devote himself to the practice -ot his pro fession will be received by the people of the State generally, irrespective of party politics. With regret Mr. White is one of the ablest Democrats California has ever produced When not acting as partisan his services to the commonwealth in the Federal Sen ate have been exceedingly valuable The people can not fail to feel the loss of in Congress whose ability and experience destined to cause hm to play an important part in the history o the nation
 Now that Senator White Is about to retire from active politics it is appropriate that Republican newspaper like The Call should pay him compli- ment especially when it can truthfully say that he reached the high office of United States Senator with out corruption or compromise He has sat in the upper house of Congress for six years inde- pendent man-a most extraordinary position for a lawyer without fortune to occupy among the mil lonaires and corporation attorneys who ornament that chamber From political viewpoint Republicans may rejoice that Senator White has retired; the disappearance of such man from the Senatorial field ought to make the election of Republican Senator easy But we doubt whether in all except partisan matters it will be possible to improve on him. He was, in fact though to our mind wrong in politics. an ideal Senator for the State.
 Mr. Whites retirement is attributed to the made quate compensation paid Federal Senator He says he cannot continue in office without abandoning his law practice and he cannot live comfortably and leave anything behind for his family upon $5ooo a year and mileage The moral of this should not be lost upon the public Here IS an independent able conscientious and se-respecting man who IS prac-
 cay driven of the public service because 1t does not afford him living. Were Senator White to en- gage in business schemes and represent corporations in Congress doubtless he could speedily get rich but he will not do that. Hence he is driven to withdraw from the Senate in order that he may procure fair return for his services.
 It ought to be perfectly plain to the most superf- cia observer that the compensation o which Sen ator White complains ultimately produce but two results viz filling the Senate with millionaires and ignoramuses Doubtless there will always be plenty of men glad to accept senatorships at S5ooo year. but such men will ordinarily make worthless Senator's Nillionaires usually possess some ability. But suppose the crop of milonares runs out? What will become of the Federal Senate?

Editor of San Francisco Call-Dear Sir: As a regular reader of your esteemed newspaper allow me to correct state ment made in to-day's issue concerning the alternating of the Latin republics in Central and South America. Allow me to assure you that Spain would find very poor territory to work in this direction in Central America. These States have shown their great sympathy for the Unit ed States on more than one occasion. 1 only recall to you the late award of Unit ed States General Alexander in the San Juan River question, between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Your article would read well, however, if referring to South Amer ica exclusively. Yours respectfully,

of Mare Island ferryboat sails in great circles between the yard and Vallejo, the workmen bound for their daily toll get 'docked" for loss of time, and the tereoos seek Quietude on the downstream slde of the piles. AS the Philadelphia showed her great bulk in toward the island oo- main of Uncle Sam the naval constructor cost of injury to wharf and ship, and the repair force to calculate on overtime when the estimates came back from Washington; the other spectators in unl- form and civilian togs only got ready to see "a circus.
 When the current got a fair heave at the vessel she plunged toward the Vallejo board helm and Georgia-street wharf was safe. Then she swung away with her steel ram pointing at the granite drydock that cannot accommodate a battleShip, with war menacing the Golden Gate and Hawaii unprotected, but the wheel, rolled and the other little ships The tide car. ried her down toward South Vallejo, but four bells in the engine room brought her back.

Then into her place at the wharf like broken lilly, permitting herself to be tied up to the dock without even an angry snort. Then Nehemiah left the deck and went down to tea, and the Philadelphia hung tenderly to her mooring lines.
 There are some things mustang can do apparently not mastered at the United States Naval Academy, and one of them is to dock a ship without plunging into the appropriation for repairs.

THE MAINE DISASTER.

Editor Call: The Key West corre- spondent of the Journal-Examiner says that even if the destruction of the Maine were an accident, we know that Spain was planning such crime and therefore the act must be treated as a cause of war.
 There is a great deal of such foolish and misleading talk. There are certain rules in force between nations the growth of treaties and conventions and other forms of agreement, and ~educed from the principles of natural justice, and no country has ever gained honorable or permanent advantage by their viola tion. The Cuban rebellion has put upon this country peculiar strain. Our na- tional honor requires that we enforce our obligations as a neutral If a subject of Spain, on his own responsibility, blew up the Maine, we must be cautious in the enforcement of national responsibility upon Spain. It is notorious that ever since the rebellion began citizens of this country have constantly violated our neutral obligations. It has proved use less to bring them before American juries, for their acquittal has followed. Violation of the neutrality laws has not impressed our people as wrong in morals or policy. Public meetings have
 been held, participated in by local off, cials, as mayors of cities and even mem- bers of Congress and public subscriptions have been started to buy arms and muni-
 tions of war for the Cuban insurgents
 In all these acts encouraging violations of neutrality our people are unable to see any wrong. Granting that Spaniard has proved as incapable of the conception of
 wrong in destroying the Maine, the two governments have a common interest in avoiding responsibility for the acts of in- dividuals.
 If it were capable of proof that the spanish Government knew in advance of ing the power, failed to prevent it, the
 aspect of the case would be wholly changed.
 The British Government was notified of by her subjects of the Alabama as a cruiser for the Confederate Government. having the power, she failed to nrevent that violation of the neutrality laws, and
 ment between us in the Geneva Court,
 that great jury found her guilty of re- sponsibility, and she paid to us the heaviest fine ever paid by one country to
 another, except as an indemnity for war between the parties.
 Having established this principle, we should not lose sight e it In the excite ment of the moment. If subject or Spain destroyed the Maine without the prior knowledge of that Government. and we force indemnity for that act of an in dividual, the columns of American news papers and the proceedings of public | meetings in this country would go far to prove to an international court of arbi- tration our responsibility for the cost to Spain of her attempts to suppress the in surrection which has been made neces- sary by the aid extended by our citizens. 1 Of course Spain is weak and miserable and mad, but she has the rights of na- | ton, and in view of our Alabama prece- dent, we could not honorably decline her

THE FREE-SILVER MANIFESTOES.

E have reviewed the statements made by the \Xf leaders of the three free silver parties. We have fairly sought out and individualized the classes and the interests attacked and devoted to destruction by these perfervid documents. Their authors and supporters must show how the people and the country are to be benefited by de- stroying the interests they attack.
 If the I5oooo depostors in the savings banks of this State are killed as traitors" exied as Tories" and their property is taken from them who will be helped by it? Will 1t bring another days work to any laboring man, or add penny to his wages?
 If the insurance companies destroyed and made incapable of drawing interest paying losses, will it bring prosperity to anybody will it add to the food comfort shelter wages Of the aborers, or to the happiness of anybody? In of his campaign speeches Mir. Bryan said he could prove that the fire and life insurance companies take in more money in premiums and interest than they pay out for losses
 But who would insure in them if they did not? Suppose his theory put in practice and their power pay losses destroyed what could cause more suffer ing and distress? Countless thousands of affection ate and prudent have insured their lives for the benefit of the women and children of their families Every hour of the day dies who leaves life insurance for the protection of his family The mind cannot conceive the loss and suffering if the insur ance companies destroyed in the anarchist as saut proposed by the three parties which making this hysterical appeal
 Suppose, again, that the whole fabric of commer- cial credit is crunbled in common wreck by the of this attack on the commercial banks, who would be helped by it? Can any laboring man demonstrate that he would be better off?
 In the place of all these interests institutions and practices of business, which to be destroyed as enemies of the popular welfare these politicians pro- pose to put the free coinage of silver at I6 to In what way it substitute them? How can it restore their own to the I5oooo savings bank depostors in ments to the stockholders in building and loan as- sociations? In what way will it restore the credits required by ship builders and the promoters of the large wage paying enterprises of the country? Can they point to any free silver country in the world where enterprises active and profitable work more plenty and wages better, or as good as here? Is it not plain that if there were such coun- try emigration would be flowing from here there?
 As matter of fact go to great expense to shut out and turn back from shores immigrants from he greatest of the free silver nations to protect our own wage earners from the lower standard of life which enables these immigrants to exist upon less and therefore for lower wages
 These politicians seeking power by threaten ing to use in way that will bring distress upon the very classes over whose condition they pretend to agonize. Their proposition is so full of danger that the thoughtful patriotism of the country will combine against and defeat it.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR CALIFORNIA.

O $ reported to the House on Monday the sundry \ civil appropriation bi while not wholly sat- isfactory has many features that will be grat- lying to the people of California. It does not appro- priae for the State all that asked all that we have right to expect but 1t provides for many i'm portant public improvements, and some of these among the works the people of the State have most desired.
 The most notable feature of the bill so far as it affects California is the appropriation of S4ooooo for work at San Pedro harbor during the next fiscal year, This is especially gratifying because the fight against that improvement has been so strongly and successfully waged in the past that doubts existed in many quarters whether some new plan had not been devised by the opponents of San Pedro to still further delay it.
 The large appropriation recommended for the work to put end to the long contest over the is- sue It is of the signal triumphs the people have the opposition of the Southern Pacific Company and will have in the southern part of the State something of the effect produced in the San Joaquin by the construction of the Valley Road It is a step toward emancipation from the monopoly, and significant of the increasing power Of the peo- pie and the diminishing prestige Of a corporation which few years ago considered all powerful throughout the commonwealth
 Among the other items of the bill are appropria- tons for Oakland harbor $I33,ooo for buildings in San Francisco $5ooooo for the establishment of tele phone connections between lightshp and lighthouse at Point Arena, $86o; for fish culture stations at Bard and Fort Gaston, Cal $462o; for enforcement ot the Chinese exclusion ac Sooooo for surveys and resurveys of the Pacific Coast S544oo; for surveying and temporarily marking portion of the eastern boundary of the State of California SIoooo for con- tinuing work the wall at the Presido, San Fran cisco S5ooo; for defrayng expenses of the California Debris Commission, $I5,ooo; expenses of Soldiers Home at Santa Monica S25,ooo
 There IS missing from this list the much desired ao proprlatlon tor the improvement of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers That work is in many re- spects the most important we can expect of the Fed eral Government in this State and as the completion ot It will require years of time it is to be hoped the beginning will not be long delayed It may be pos sible to get an amendment making the appropriation while the bill is under consideration in the House but, failing that, the contest for the measure should be organized with greater force than ever We have won the fight for San Pedro by sticking to it. and we can win that for the rivers by the same tactics

THE MUSTANG AND THE SHIP


MERE are some things of the sea
 apparently not mastered at the United
 States Naval Academy and one is
 how to dock ship without plunging somewhat into the appropriation for re- pairs. Charitable people have explained that a naval vessel being designed and built for destroying purposes is true to her calling and election by trying to rip up everything she falls in with and no commander, unless he runs her into a strawstrack, can prevent confusion and disaster.
 This theory will hardly bear the wear and tear of time and practice The United states steamer Marion during her last cruise acted unusually contrary. She tried
