NE of the most hopeful signs of the times in this city is the earnestness with which the people e engaged in the struggle to de- the long-practiced extortions of the gas com- When The Call began the contest some' time ago in an effort to break down the illegal demand of the compar depogit from each consumer, com- feat paratively in the issue. As the case developed, however, and The Call made its points one after another, popular sentiment was aroused. The Board of Suapervisors tice of the claim of the public and nd when the company, with its demanded payment from consumers a movement was started to organize s to resist the extortion. At present, therefore, the outlook for a complete vic- tor: for the people is promising. That the rate of $1 75 per thousand feet for gas is extortionate has long been known. The very fact that other cities of anything like the population of San Francisca are supplied with gas at rates not exceeding $1 was itself a proof of it. Yesterday, however, The Call published figures showing that experiments and tests made by the engineer at the Agnews State Hos- pital reveal that gas even in the limited quantity used at that institution can be produced for 55 or 60 cents per thousand feet. Of course large operations are always proportionately more economical than small ones, and therefore it is safe to assume that the cost of producing gas for this city is much less than that at Agnews. Thus the extortion of the company is completely demonstrated. The fight is now on in earnest, and nothing is needed but perseverance and united effort to accom- plish a great victory for the public. No citizen should submit to the extortions. The company is pursuing an illegal course and cannot possibly win if the people resist and stand up for their rights. recognized the jt reduced the rai usual arrogance at the old rate an association of con sum .

HE Washington correspondent of the Boston [ Senators, says: “Each case has been decided upon the personal in- terests and party considerations involved. Or, more accurately, a practice in this regard will run for a number of years, until some case of exceptional in- fluence reverses it, and then that is taken as a prece- | dent until another striking case on the other side | comes up. Until 1825, for example, the Senate gave | seats to all Senators appointed as Mr. Quay has been. But in that year the attention of the Senate was | specially directed to the Lanman case, and after an | exhaustive debate it was decided that he had been | improperly appointed.” | It is difficult to crowd more misrepresentation of | fact into the same space. The first case was decided in 1704, when several men who had been members of | the Constitutional Convention were members of the | | Senate. The decision was that when a Legislature | had been in session and had failed to fill an existing vacancy in the Senate the Governor had no jurisdic- tion and the seat must remain vacant until the Legis lature chose to fill it. In 1825 the Lanman case was | decided the same way on the same grounds, and the | principle thus fixed has never been violated nor re- versed by the Senate. It is not true that “each case has been decided upon the personal interests and party considerations involved.” Senator Edmunds of Vermont, one of the great lawyers of the Senate, in discussing one of these | cases said: “This question was fairly debated when | the gentlemen on the other side were in a majority in this Chamber. Without a party division gentlemen on both sides voted according to the light they had, | and, not dividing on party lines, settled this identical question. The Senate’ sitting upon such a question | | sits as judges. The constitution says so. We are not defining policies; we are not setting up expediencies; | we are not carrying on party warfare. We are sitting as the solemn judges sworn to try and determine the election and qualifications of a gentleman who pre- sents himself to be a member of this body. We have come to a decision, just as the Supreme Court of the United States, sitting 200 feet from us, comes to a ision in a great variety of cases, when the Judges differ, five one way, four another. The decision of the court is announced. What would become of that court if the next time a similar question came up tl\cr whole thing was opened again and the contest was gone over repeatedly from year to year and time to deg Transcript, discussing the seating of appointedy | the law is concerned, either to praise or to blame. considerable time, and if Congress be not called to- gethér early, the session may be prolonged next year until late in the summer and possibly until fall. Thus we might have Congress in session and a Presiden- tial election going on at the same time, and that would be an indisputable case of jtoo much politics. The situation is complicated by the retirement of Reed. The Republicans of this Congress will not have the advantage of his experienced leadership. A new man will have to be chosen, and so many can- didates are in the field the choice will probably be difficult. It will also take the new Speaker consider- able time to appoint his committees and get the House organized for business. That fact is in itself a good argument for calling Congress to assemble earlier than usual, and the President will be acting with his usual sagacity if he do so. QJ officer must be disinterested, because the very qualities that produce that kind of appreciation prove his indifference, so far as the administration of RECOGNITION NOT PRAISE. USTIFIABLE commendation of a judicial The pure conscience, the high intelligence, the faculty for closely knit reasoning, the seli-control, the color- less impartiality, that blend in the highest practical standard of judicial character and ability, in all ages have deserved and received the deepest resgect and the most exalted honor. In the latter years of this century political degrada- tion has affected some of our courts, and, though in no inconsiderable degree unreasonably and unjustly, | distrust of the judiciary prevails, and, therefore, when in the face of all obstacles and influences a Judge sit- ing in great cases proves his power of abstracting himself from every immaterial question and of ap- plying the law with perfect directness and simplicity, the very least the press and the public can do is to recognize the fact. This is the secret of the eulogistic references to Judge Morrow of the Circuit Court of the United States that have become so common in this State and in other parts of the Union. As presiding Judgci { ot the District Court of the United States, after an | honorable Congressional service, he succeeded Judge | Ogden Hoffman, whose father was one of the most distinguished pleaders the country, but who achieved for himself a most enviable reputation for holarship, for legal acumen and above all for un- questionable integrity. Judge Morrow, while he re- mained District Judge, in no way discredited his pre- in time in order to see which should get the ;n~ccnd.1n(‘)’1 | upon all questions? Nothing would be settled and | the court would be destroyed, and justice, too, for that | matter. How is it different here? When we have | come to a decision, even in a case of doubt, having | come to it fairly, not in a time of party heat or by a | party vote; when we have come to a decision, after | full deliberation, which carries out confessedly the | cts of the constitution, should we not stick to it?” | From this and the rollcalls on the many cases de- cided it is plain that neither “personal interests nor party considerations” have influenced the Senate. Senators acting under oath and sitting judges would betray every obligation resting upon them if they let personal interests influence them in the de- ci o as ion of a Constitutional question That a party majority would not be and never has | been influenced by party considerations is evident from the fact that already having a majority in the Senate there is no necessity to violate the constitu- | tion for partisan advantage. The San Francisco Bulletin, which supports the ap- | pointment of Burns, says: | “The rejection of Corbett of Oregon, though in ac- | cord with precedents, was largely influenced by the fact that Senator Burrows of Michigan had. personal reasons to desire that the precedent which Corbett fell a sacrifice to should be preserved. Burrows was a hdidate for re-election, but the Governor of Michi- gan was opposed to him, and had influence enough to deadlock the Legislature. If Corbett had been seated on appointment by the Governor a precedent would | have been established that would encourage the Gov- ernor to throw his influence against Burrows thereby secure to himseH the appointment Senator.” It would be hard to frame a better statement of the | constitutional reason for denying jurisdiction to the | Governor after a Legislature has failed to elect ~ ai The Governor of Michigan could dead- | lock the Legislature and thereby secure to himself the appointment of a Senator! It is to prevent just | that sort of thing that the constitution provides: “And if vacancies happen, by resignation or otherwise, dur- ing a recess of the Legislature of any State, the eXecutive thereof may make temporary appointments | until the next meeting of the Legislature.” The Bul- | letin makes its statement to prove the contention that the Corbett case went off on “the personal inter- | ests” of Burrows, whereas the admission that Gov- ernor Pingree stood ready to deadlock the Legisla- | ture to secure to himseli the right to elect a Senator | is a clear demonstration of the wisdom of the Senate | in adhering to the constitutional rule. If it be dc-j parted from, what Pingree stood ready to do in Michigan will soon become the rule. Governors | having the dispositjon of State patronage can easily so use it as to tempt Legislatures not to elect Sena- tors from whom not much patronage can be had, and it is not an improbability that very soon the Senate would be filled by the creatures of executive power. AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. Wmen: of an intention on the part of the Presi- dent to call Congress to assemble # October, the report that he has the subject under consideration ccmes from sources sufficiently authoritative to jus- tify its acceptance by the public. The rumor is the more credible because abundant reason for the call- ing of such an extra session is to be found in the political situation. In the first place there are many grave issues to be dealt with by Congress, and it is advisable from every point of view to have them settled before the opening of the Presidential campaign of 1900. The bapking and currency question ought certainly to be closed before that time so there may be no financial agita- tion and uncertainty to disturb business during the struggle for the Presidency. Moreover, the issues involved in our dealings with Cuba and the Philip- pines cannot be determined by the executive alone. Congress must act with him in their solution and settlement. In addition to the finance and the war issues there ! are other measures of far-reaching importance to be considered. Our expanding commerce imperatively demands an increase in our merchant marine, and it |is high time something were done by the Govern- | ment to promote our shipping industry and place it }in a condition to compete on equal terms with the i subsidized marine of European nations. The Nica- | ragua canal project should also be taken up this win- {ter, and a permanent form of government adopted | for Hawa To effectively deal with all these measures, in addi- ion to the routine work of the session, will require and | a of Senator.

To the Editor of The Call: Governor Gage has announced that before making a selection for the important office of Labor Commissioner he would like to have the names of five men submitted by organized labor, thus permitting the work- men to separate the wheat from the chaff and at the same time leaving no loophole from which in the future critical shots can be taken at the appoint- ment made. As one of the rank and file I beg leave to ask publicity for the following sug- gestion, believing that if it is adopted, or something of a kindred character, the Governor's wish can be met and unnecessary friction be avoided in labor circles: There are three Allied Labor Councils in this State—San Francisco, Sacra- mento and Los Angeles. These councils represent the various trades organiza- tions in their respective districts. Let each council select one man as its choice® by doing which the three most important points of the State will be represented. Then each council should appoint a committee of one, which committee will be instructed to select two additional members at large. The committee of five thus created is then to determine who the remaining two names shall be, making the five to be submitted to Governor Gage. To my mind this would be a just and equitable solution of a question which is of vital importance to the members of organized and unorganized labor in this State. The Governor's action will depend largely upon the spirit manifested by the men to whom' will fall the carrying out of his expressed desire, and if wrangling and bickering are permitted and the selection delayed Mr. Gage may conclude to ignore any and all recommendations and select some one not thor- oughly qualified for this very important position.

News of the killing of Thomas Thomp- | son, a private in Battery K, Third Artil- | lery, was confirmed by letter received in this city vesterday. When the report of the day’s dead on March 26 was wired to this city Thompson's parents were not | positive as to whether it was their boy whose life had been sacrificed, but recent | mails brought a letter from a comrade | who had seen the unfortunate soldier fall and to whom had been intrusted a last | LR e S e e J » = e s e v e e e R g ® ° | [ R e i e e o I message of love to his mother.

This fact has been illustrated on so many occasions that it is unnecessary, as it might be indelicate, to specify any There is scarcely any evil that a constitutional re- | is not only pure but searching and firm. Tt is gratify- | ing to know, in the midst of the multiplied corrup- | tions that infest Legislatures and even executive | offices, that there are places where the citizen is not | compelled to borrow a fine suit of clothes and to se- cure some indorsement from wealth or power in or- der to protect his interests or his rights. There have been times when, in Circuit bench, whether justly or unjustly, great uneasiness was felt. I+ is quite sure that public confidence in that tribunal has now been fully restored. Wlhis spring with words of promise on his lips and assured the people of the coast counties that at last work on the gap would be undertaken in earnest, and that the through line would probably be in operation’ within a year, he was received with wel- | come. In their expectations for the future many peo- | ple forgot the past. They trusted Mr. Huntington. Now it appears the promise of the Southern Pa- cific magnate was only another of his deception He obtained rights of way for his railroad across the gap about nine years ago, and about once a year on | an average ever since he has made a promise to grade l the line, lay the rails and get to work. His coming | and his going to and from the State have been marked | He can be tracked by them as unerringly as a bear by his trail. It will be remembered that in his promise of this| spring Mr. Huntington declared he would long ago have constructed the road had it not been for the opposition of his wicked partners. It was, he said, his desire to close the gap, but the other directors of the Southern Pacific were not willing. According to his words at that time, the antagonists of the im- provement were Mrs. Stanford and the Crocker: Now he finds a new antagonist in respect to the THE HUNTINGTON way. HEN Mr. Huntington ‘came to California the person of | somebody along the line who will not do as Mr. Hun- tington desires. It is not easy to see what remedy is available to the | people of the coast counties. Huntington was beaten in the San Joaquin because that broad valley fur- nished ample room for a competing line, and one was constructed. Along the coast, however, compe- tition is not easy. Huntington cannot get even with the farmers of the San Joaqain by wronging the peo- ple of the coast, but he can at least gratify his spite against the State, and he seems bent upon doing it. That is his way. King Tanu of the Samoan-Islands has gone on strike for an increase in wages. He was getting $50 a month and now demands $150 or blood. The diffi- culty with which his Highness keeps his job and his head from the savage onslaught of his princely ene- mies seems reason just enough to grant the increase. Promoters of bullfights in Mexico complain of a scarcity of bovines fitted for the sport. Governor Gage might increase the comity between the two na- tions by shipping over the line some of the terrific bulls he has made. Dispatches from Kansas are to the effect that a cyclone visited the central portion of that State Tues- day night last. It cannot be possible that Brigadier General Funston has returned unexpectedly from the Philippines. Notices posted in the Coeur d'Alene mining dis- trict require all men working underground to get cer- tificates of character from the Coroner.

E City. The law which was passed by Legislature affecting contract marriages is not retroactive and does not affect the validity of marriages so contracted prior to the passage of the prohibitory act. One of the requirements of the contract mar- riages was that the declaration of the contracting parties should be recorded ac- cording to the provisions of the Civil Code. a5 THE CENSUS OF 19%0—A. B.

ANARCHIST AND SOCTALIST—M., City. An anarchist is one who advocates anarchy or the absence of government as | a political ideal; one who is an adherent of the social theory of Prudhon. In the popular sense, one who by violence seeks to overthrow all constituted forms of government and society, all law and or- | der and all rights of property, with no purpose of establishing any other sy tem of order in the place of the one de- stroyed. Socialism is any theory or sys- tem’ of social organization that has for its purpose the abolishment entirely or | in greater part of individual effort or competition on which modern society rests and to substitute for it co-operative action; the more equal distribution of the product of labor, and to make land and capital, as the instruments and means of production, the joint possession of the community. Apply these principles to Washington, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln and William Jennings Bryan and you vourself can answer the question, *Were these anarchists or socialists?” EMBASSADOR—Regular Subseriber, City. Diplomatic usage recognizes three orders of Ministers. Ministers of the first class possess the representative character in the highest degree, representing the state or sovereign sending them not only in the particular affairs with which they are charged, but in other matters; they may claim the same honors as would be- lflongl to their constituent if present. The rs gap&x legates and nuncios, and embas ors orainary and extraordinary. Min ters of the second and third order have not the same strictly representative char- acter; their representation is held not to g0 beyond the affairs with which they are | charged. They are, however, the natural protectors oé the subjects of the state or country sending them in the country to which they are assigned. Ministers of the second class include envoys, whether these are simply so styled, or denominated envoys extraordinary, also ministers plen- | ipotentiary. ’Lhe third class of Ministers 0 not differ from the second in the de- gree of their representative character, but only in the dlversllg of their dignity and the ceremonial with which they are re- ceived. This class comprehends Ministers, Ministers Resident, Ministers Charge Q'Affaires, such Consuls as are possessed | of a diplomatic character and those Charge d'Affaires who are sent to courts to which it is not wished to send agents ‘with the title of Minister.
