SUCCESSOR TO MR.. WHITE.
Practical craftsmanship.

The present session Of congress IS
distinguishing itself from some former
sessions by the practical statesman
like character of many Of the subjects
to which it has given attention. There
has been much oratory, it is true, and
some thrashing over of old straw, but
matters affecting directly the pockets
and otomachs Of the people have OBJ
tanned prominence. distractions, sec
tional issues, infammatOry proposals.
these have largely given place to the
Railway Rate bill, the Meat Inspection
bill, the Pure Food bill, Employers
! Liability bill Panama canal. etc. But
various practical matters have been
neglected. 1t would be easy to give
a long list of urgent questions which
the present congress has failed to han
die, Or has handled badly; such, for
example, as the Philippines tariff. the
general question Of tariff reform. asset
bank currency, the modification of Our
present offensive Chinese Exclusion
law and a dozen more. But something
has been done Of a positive character
along progressive lines for practical
purposes. and for this We mus be
thankful. More was wanted, but com
pairing what has been done during the
present session with what was effected
in years past. the people are gratified
that a beginning has been made. An
installment of reform has been gained
and an appetite for more has been de-
velOped.
Much has been done, it will be rec
ognized has been in the direction Of
curbing the injustice practiced by
trusts combines and other huge cor
poratiOns created by consultations III
recent decades. Such corporations are
the inevitable product, possibly, of
present social, financial. industrial and
commercial conditions. The huge

telegraph, the telephone, the big fac

are factors witch necessarily facilitate
the concentration of great powers in
few hands and at the same fife facil-
itate abuses. Old laws amply provid-
ed for old conditions Of great wealth
and power, with new temptations TO
wrongdoing. call for new restrictions
in the interest of the people, as againsE
those who have learned 10 prey upon
them.
Mr.. Glascow's questioning Of railway
officials charged with the duty of dis
tributing cars to coal-mining companies
for instance, showed that graft" and
injustice existed in the c~oal-carrying
business on a large scale. This and
other like discrimination needs a dras-
tic remedy, and congress has at length
given its attention TO the evil and
its correction. It may be hoped that
the various measures devised for var
ious forms of Interstate" wrongcO-
ing will produce salulTy results, both
directly by their effect on the wrong
doors and indirectly by ~eduacting the

Policeman Cormac MeGorty has filed
with Auditor Horton a revocation of
the power of attorney he gave to
Broker Max Goldberg in return for
the loan of a months salary prior to
the confa grafton. Goldberg admits
that the power Of attorney was burned
and while McGorty admits that he
made the assignment and owes the
broker 800 he says that the destruc-
ton of the brokers' records ends the
deal so far as he is concerned and that
If the salary warrant is given to Gold
berg the Auditor will do so at his
peril
AS the courts have decided that post
dated assignments for salaries are IL
legal, and as such was held by Gold
berg, Horton says that notwithstand-
ing the fact that Goldberg is entitled
TO the money the official is of the
opinion that he will have to give the
same to the policeman.
Under the same ruling E. Stack, a
park laborer, demands that the Auditor
give him q warrant for S5L25 wages

fact that he has assigned $35 of the

90 nf Hn,IdInn

The Board of Public Works began
yesterday to operate under the new
building law which was recently passed
By the Supervisors. 1T costs twice as
much to secure a permit from the city
as under tho old ordinances. a fact
which some OF the people DO not under
stand.
The following is the schedule Of fees:
For building costing from $500 to
$1,000. 81; for building costing from
5000 % 5000. $3.50; fTo5n $1,000 -too
rom slo.oo9 e g $1,000; $25i from
s25000 $40. and 81 for every additional
$1,000 after $4,000.
This means that If st is desired to
build a $4,000 structure today the
fee for a permit would amount to $40.
Under the old ordinance the fee would
have been Sal. Last month San Fran
cisco received $1,000 in fees for build
ing permits.
II is estimated that IL applications
for the big and costly buildings are re-
ceived as expected. the city will be
richer by $4,000 at the end OF July.
