A COMMERCIAL MUSEUM.

IRON the movement undertaken by the Mer-
chants Association to establish in this citya Com
mercia Museum along the lines of that which
has proven so successful in Philadelphia much good is
to be expected The association has accomplished so
much in the past there be little doubt of its ability
to achieve the undertaking if it find anything like
a sufficient responsiveness from the general public.
The value of such museums has been tested by the
experiment in Philadelphia and the results have been
gratifying to the promoters. 1t must be borne in
mind, however that such venture cannot be widely
useful if undertaken a small scale To build up
her museum Philadelphia has sent agents to every
country in the world to gather up articles illustrating
the industrial needs of various peoples Thus manu-
facturer go to the museum in Philadelphia and
learn what kind of machinery, Implements clothing
luxures other articles are in demand in any notable
commercial center of the globe
A similar museum in San Francisco should include
in its scope least exhibit of the commercial needs
of all countries fronting upon the Pacific Ocean. 1t
should show what species of articles and what varieties
of them in demand along the Pacific coast OF
America, throughout the islands of Australasia and
among the swarming populations of the Orient
Energetic agents will have to be kept at work and
considerable of money will be required to main
tain the exhibits up to date, but the will be
more than repaid by the profits resulting to manu-
facturers to merchants and to the community gen.
orally
1t is stated the suggested for this city will
be aided by the cooperation of that in Philadelphia
1t is quite probable the aid thus given will increase
with the increasing expansion and activity of the two
for they will be in rivals. Each can accom-
plish much more by working together than by work
ing separately, and with greater economy Thus the
prospect not only of present help but of the continued
cooperation of the great institution in Philadelphia
is we'll assured and that fact taken together with the
confidence justly reposed in the enterprises of the
Merchants Association, ought to sufficiently encour-
age the public to render the establishment of the
museum a matter of but comparatively short time.

AUCTION SALES.
THE DOLLAR LIMIT.

IPON all issues involved in the tax levy, whether
| direct or indirect, there is but one course for
- the Supervisors to take. They have pledged
themselves to the people to confne municipal eX-
penditures within revenue derived from tax levy
not exceeding ST upon the $Ioo OF assessment OF
S35o,ooo, 900 That pledge must be kept. No other
course can be taken that will be either eXpedient
honest.
The pledge was not carelessly inconsiderately
given Mayor Phean had insistently maintained that
the city government could be efficiently supported
revenues derived from taxation within the dollar
limit considerable body of citizens were convinced
by his arguments and it in response to the popu-
lar demand that both parties at the last municipal
election pledged their Candidates to fix the levy
within that limit The people rejected the Democratic
candidates and elected overwhelming majority OF
Republicans to the Board OF Supervisors. The public
confidence thus shown in Republican fidelity must
not be betrayed.
The Finance Committee OF the Supervisors has re-
ported an estimate of appropriations for the year
which will be within the limit That estimate has been
revised by the Merchants Association and by Mayor
Phelan The various estimates differ widely in many
respects, but all within the limit Out of the sug
gestons thus submitted the Supervisors must make
the best choice possible for the general good 1t is
demanded that either of them shall be adopted as
reported, but it is demanded that the point which
they all agree, the dollar limit, shall be observed
The Board of Supervisors which preceded the pres
ent dominated by strong Democratic
jority That majority faithless to every pledge
and to every expectation of the people AS conse-
quence the voters turned the Republicans at the
next election. The warning is therefore plain If
the Republicans who control the Board of Su-
pervisors break faith with the people and prove false
to solemn pledges the party will suffer If they stand
true and faithful Republcansm will once more have
proven its right to popular confidence
The issue is not to be evaded The people demanded
dollar limit upon taxation, the Mayor recommended
it, the Merchants Association Endorsed it, the cand
dates for office pledged to it. 1t must now be
given full and fair trial If revenue so raised be
sufficient for all needs, it is time the people should
know it If be insufficient, it will be we'll to have
that fact made known. Whatever the result may be
the Supervisors will stand blamees if they keep their
pledge, and will have the honor due to those who are
faithful to their promises to the people.

Mr.. Pruett Was Not Rescued.

To the Editor of The Call-Sir: The
statement in The Call of Sunday, July 80
to the effect that 1 was washed off Black
Point near Twin Lakes, by a tidal wave
and the subsequent daring rescue by
two men, is positively a false record of
the bIuest hue. 1t was probably based on
the fact that a young man was scratched
on mussel shells while bathing in the
surf near the place mentioned.

The Other Side of the Story.
Sacramento Record-Union.

And now it turns out, after all the hys-
terical raving of the chief of yellows, that
the Oregon Regiment had blankets and
overcoats and wooden clothing in plenty,
and that the lot was turned in at San
Francisco by the quartermaster. The men
turned in these necessary articles or
failed to draw them in order to receive
credit for them and draw down the cash
instead. They were therefore alone to
blame for being without the essential
clothing. The Government did not neglect
them or deprive them of single right.
In the meanwhile these shrewd Oregon
ians have borrowed overeoats and blank.
cts from the State of California, and will
draw down coin for their own. There are
usually two sides to every story.
