Prominent Merchants of New
York Visit This City

Isidor Straus the operator of one OF
the biggest department stores in
Brooklyn and New York, visited san
Francisco yesterday after an absence
OF 81 years. With him is his partner,
Abraham Abraham The two merchants,
with their families. have been in SOUTH
ern California during the winter.
During the afternoon Straus and
Abraham walked through the business
section Of the city and visited the larg-
est of the retail stores.
The work you have done in rebuild
ing the city is an Inspiration" Straus
said on his return 10 the Fairmont ho-
tel THE energy displayed and the
pluck make a man feel proud that he
is an American citizen. After the fire
eastern capitalists had an idea that San
Francisco would lose its commercial
supremacy on the Pacific, and that the
cities OF the north-Seattle, Portland
and Tacoma-would take away much
OF its commerce. The things that
have seen today in my trip through
the city show that this was an erro-
neous view. I believe that San Fran
cisco will always be what it has been,
the key to the Pacific"
Abraham was equally enthusiastic
over the prosperity of the city and the
tremendous strides made in rebuilding.

FRIDAY, JANUARY Is, 1903.

Our legislature is grinding away as
usual. The indications are that Sena-
tor Hepburn will be reelected without
serious opposition. Senator Benham
has been placed on the following COM
mittees: State Affairs, Irrigation and
Water Rights, and Engrossed Bills.
Representative Dunning will serve on
the COMMITTEES of Charitable and Penal
Institutions, Forests and forestry, I'm
migration and Labor Statistics and
Revenue and Taxation Goint). As they
are both men of experience, ability and
sound judgment we predict that they
will perform their duties as legislators
in very creditable manner.

We publish this week an article on
the proposed Postal savings-banks that
explains the manner of making deposits
and how you will have to proceed in
order to draw out any money that you
have deposited. A careful investigation
of this proposed system will convince
one that it is an excellent system for
the purpose of retiring money from
circulation-and putting it where you
cannot get hold of it without going
through lot of "red tape" If you
should suddenly have urgent need for
your money you would find that you
would have to wait aconsiderrole length
OF time before you could get it. AS for
any practical use for any one in bust
ness this system would be an utter
failure, as any one person or firm could
not deposit more than 500 during any
one month. When compared with 8
general guarantee of deposits in al
banks it is complete failure.

The Mighty Kins Has Fallen.


The American people have been over
doing the hero worship act for the last
few years, and the result is that Teddy
has taken a tumble from the great ped
estal upon which his admirers had
placed him. Power and praise has
caused him to become top-heavy, and
he has fallen, at least in the estimation
Of Congress, from the high position he
held in the minds of the people (and in
his own mind) to position about on a
parallel with that in which President
johnson was held when he came so
nearly being impeached.
The American people, when they
stop aud consider, are not yet quite
ready for Supreme Dictator to preside
in the White House.
Only few years ago we heard the
republican candidate for Governor of
Oregon, Withecombe, in an address to
the voters of eastern Oregon, say. with
reference to whom they should vote for
Congressman, "Vote for a man that
will go to Washington and do just as
that great and good man, Roosevelt,
wants him to do" There is no doubt
but that that remark helped to defeat
Withecombe and to elect Chamberlain.
Such sentiment is not endorsed by
free Americans.
The breach between the president
and Congress is widening daily and
as shey both have "their Dutch up" the

POSTAL sAvINGs-BANKs.

There is every reason to believe
that at an early date system of
postal savings-banks will be estab-
lished in the United States. Every
Postmaster General for twenty
years has recommended the meas
ure, four of the political parties
represented in the last presidential
election included it in their plat
forms, and an overwhelming major
ity of the people undoubtedly will
welcome it.
The provisions of the bill now
pending in the Senate are substan-
TALLY as follows:
Every post-office in the United
States authorized to issue money
orders, and such other post-offices
as the Postmaster General may
designate, will become savings de.
positories, at which any person
more than ten years of age may
open an account by depositing not
less than one dollar nor more than
one hundred dollars any one month.
Upon opening an account de-
position will receive a pass book,
and thereafter may deposit at any
time ten cents or any multiple of
it. Each deposit will be entered in
the book by the postmaster. De-
posts will be limited to five hun
dred dollars at any one time. In
terest at the rate of two per cent.
will be paid on the average deposit,
computed every six months. These
deposits will be exempt from taxa
alton and from Seizure by legal pro-
cess. The funds thus deposited
will be placed by postmasters in
i luV uCdAOob lidllOudl bdHhes W4iCtl
will he required to pay two and a
quarter per cent. interest. Any de-
position who wishes to withdraw part
or all of his deposit must make written
application to the postmaster, who will
forward it, with the pass book, to the
Postmaster General; and in due course
a check or an order on the Postmaster
General will be returned.
The fundamental purposes OF this
bill are: To encourage persons of small
income to save, by offering them con.
venient and safe medium in their own
neighborhood to offer thrift the en-
couragement of protection; and to SO.
cure such final deposit Of the money
as will insure its investment and circu
lation in the communities to which il
belongs. Youths Companion.

indications are that there viii be pretty
lively times in Washington during the
remainder of Roosevelt's term. To
this state of affairs Teddy has stirred
up hornets nest in attacking Senator
Tillman, and as the "pitchfork" has not
been injured in previous encounters
the fur is apt to fly when the duel takes
place.

Writes A Hot Letter.
Charles Francis Adams Tells of
Iniquities of High Tariff Legis-
latiOn.

Protection has been maintained
in this country for production in
terests, most Of which it has CEN
tralized and fattened. The con-
sumner has had no consideration.
Not that be has been formally ex-
cluded from hearings, but for rea-
sons yividly set forth in the follow
irg admirable letter to Congress-
man Mccall from Charles Francis
Adams of Boston:
II see in the Boston Herald that
the President-elect is anxious that
those who desire a revision of the
tariff in the direction of reduced
schedules should make themselves
heard in Washington. 1t is claimed
that those asking that the tariff
schedules should remain as they
are, or should be changed only in
the way of increase, are much in
evidence at the hearings now in
progress, and that the tariff re-
former, so-called, does not appear,
or is silent.
you, my dear Mr.. Mccall, know
perfectly we'll the reason of this.
Those first referred to are directly
and pecuniarily INTERESTED; and. as
such, naturally divided into two
classes. Speaking after the fashion
of men, they are either Thieves or
Hogs. l, myself, belong to the
former class. | am tariff Thief,
