The act, which, ac- cording to the court, fixes the number of County k deputies authorized to draw salaries provided Jaw, allows but twenty-nine such deputies, while the present f numbers seventy-seven. Doubtless the number at present employed is larger than it should be, but it is fairly certain the work of the Clerk’s office has increased so much since 1880 that it cannot now be adequately performed by the former number of deputics. - Thus we have a situation which is by no means so satisfactory as appears on the face of the decision. Oi course some way will be devised for overcoming the difficulty, which threatens to interfere with the service, and it is reasonable to expect the on of the problem will not reopen a way for her extravagance in the office. In the meantime will be noted that a new lesson has been given of the evil e cts of ill-considered legislation at Sacra- mento. Hardly a year passes in which the affairs of some portion of the State are not seriously incon venienced by reason of a tangle in the statutes. We need many things in C ornia, but what we need BOUT the worst faker that ever irritated pub- most is a better set of legislators. e v———— i \ lic opinion in San Francisco is the self-styled preacher who, on the strength of his son’s THE WORST FAKER YET. reputation as a pugilist, has come to town announcing that if any one will furnish him with a hall he will preach the gospel and expound the teachings of the Rible free. In the absence of any law by which such an offense nst religion, decency and the right of free speech can be prevented by the summary arrest of the faker, the only recourse left to those who have respect for all such things is to treat the offender not with that silent contempt which has no effect on the impu- dent, but with such openly expressed indignation as | will deter any considerable number of thoughtle or sensation-seeking people from giving him any en. couragement whatever. There is a limit beyond which vociferous fakers cannot go without becoming something like a. nu sance, and in this case the limit has been passed. One need not have much reverence in his make-up to feel ! the offensiveness of the pretension that a prize- fighter's success in the ring was due to prayers to God. demnation of blatherskites generally to condemn a preacher who seeks to win notoriety by such asser- tions.

This function involves no momentous | problem. "Reduced to its constituent particles it merely a question of whether or not the Supervisors | few is | shaii keep their pledges. There have been Supervisors who solemnly prom- ised to fix a certain tax rate, but who, after listening | to the harrowing demand of municipal officials, have | | disregarded their pledges. But neither such Super- | visors nor the officials who aided and abetted them have ever emerged from the political oblivion into which their dishonorable course precipitated them. or have the people ever treated the political parties pledge-breakers with greater if there is an unwritteg which neither politi- responsible for such consideration. Therefore, political law in San Francisco | cians nor parties are at liberty to violate, it is the law that platiorm pledges must be kept at all hazards. can only be found in , pestilence, the acts of God or the public enemy— under which two latter heads may _be grouped fire, flood and earthquake, and the machinations of the devil himseli. These remarks are apropos because in a few weeks the Supervisors will consider a tax levy ior the fiscal vear 1800-1000. Last summer both the local political parties pledged their candidates to a tax limit of one | dollar, the pledge of the Republicans, who control the presens Board of Supervisc ment roll of $350,000.000. this limit not than $3.500,000 can ised by taxation in San isco for the ensumng If the Supervisors levy a tax for a’ greater amount ‘than that they will have to abandon their pledges and, like some of their predecessors, embark U "44(’ be . more Franc fiscal year. | upon the dark and forbidding sea of political oblivion. In order to observe this pledge, it should be it will not be necessary to conduct the local next $3.500.000. The revenue from other sources than taxation will easily amount re- marked, government year on to $1.500,000. The deficit, for which an outside levy may be made, will reach $300.000, and probably the | demands for interest, sinking nds and judgments will aggregate $73,000. ng will be effected in sa gas rates and in the expenditures of “county officers,” who must now, under a recent decision of the Su- trim the Supervisors may provide next year 300.000 and yet keep their necessities to their appropria- preme Court, Hen tions, enditure of about $: ir pledges.

There is probably, at this time, hardly a man in Europe or America who has not,in his mind a ready-made constitution which he like to substituted in dperation in any country the globe, from the United States to the kingdom of Swat It was a foregone conclusion that the three Com- missioners appointed to act for the United States, Germany and Great Britain in the settlement of the disturbances in Samoa would begin by devising a new form of government. The report of yesterday. ODERN man is llmnmn:hml from the man of ancient days mainly by his. ability vise new systems of to practice would see for that now on bringing an account of an agreement among them | to that end, was therefore It would have been amazing For an understanding of. A surprise to nobody. they hadn’t. the new constitution agreed upon by the representatives of the powers it must be remembered that the United States, Germany | and Great Britain, each and all. severally and unitedly, are bound by the most solemn obligations to respect the independence of Samoa, to protect it from the aggression of other nations, to maintain the right of the Samoans to choose their own king, and to guar- | antee to the Samoan people the preservation of their ! native form of seli-government. The Commissioners undertaken. to fulfill these pledges in a peculiar manner. They agree that Malietoa Tanu shall be recognized as king of the islands, in accord with the decision of Judge Cham- bers. That agreement is a victory for the United States and Great Britain, whose officials at Apia had put Malictoa on the throne, despite the fact that the natives had elected Mataafa. Tt is next agreed that Malietoa shall immediately abdicate, which is a | victory for Germany, inasmuch as her Consul always asserted that youth should not rule in Samoa. Finally it is determined there shall be no king, and that decision is a victory for everybody except the Samoans and the aforesaid treaties. Samoa’s new constitution is a beautiful work of statecraft. It provides for a government consisting of a Governor, a Chief Justice, a Legislative Coun- cil, composed of one American, one German and one | Britisher, each of whom, in addition to being one- third of the Samoan Council, is to be his country's have | Consul, and 2 House of Representatives, to be chosen | | by the natives. | The working of such a constitution is sure to be interesting. As the Samoans have always conducted their parliamentary proceedings with clubs, the de- ! bates in the House can be counted on to be lively at all times. As the Consuls of the three powers have always been wrangling with one another over every subject under the Samoan sun, from the tocoanut | crop to the best means of saving souls, the proceed- ings of the Council will add a new vigor to those of | the House. As for the Governor and the Chicf Jus- i | sake of having a laugh, but it is to be hoped thcre\ tice, they will have to act as umpire and referee, and are few who will make'a jest of such an offense as| if not impeached by the Council or clubbed by the this. stage, but we cannot stand the pug's parent who poses as a teacher of religion.

The warships will depart from Apia. Peace reigns, and a new nation has arisen to the dignity of a constitutional government. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WORKERS. S is usual at this season of the year, reports | come from nearly all parts of the State of a demand for workers for the fields, the orchards and the vineyards, whose crops are now ripening | or are already ripe for the harv rest. At the same time | the streets of the city show a large number of un- employed men, some of whom are genuinely se ing for work, but many of whom are seeking only fof the | alms that will enable them to live in.idleness. In an interview with a representative of The Call, F. W. Zeile, president of the Mercantile Trust Com- 'pam. has directed attention to the extent of tie de- mand at this time for labor in the rural districts. He has had opportunities to learn the situation from land-owners in nearly all parts of the State, and re- ports they are complaining of a lack of help to get | in their crops. In the course of his interview he said: “In the big valleys there is hay and grain to har- | vest, and in the smaller valleys the orchardists are be- | ginning to feel the necessity of having a few addi- tional men to help handle the fruit crop. From what 1 can learn all kinds of good wages ‘are offered. The common hay and grain handler can get from $1 25 to 30 per day and found. The more expert harvesters can earn more. Order after order has been sent to | the employment offices here, and still they remain un- filled. There has been some talk to the effect that the | laboring men in the city have not the means to reach | the farms and that is what is keeping them from]| going intd the country. Whatever may be the rea- | son, the fact remains the same—the farmers are sadly | in need of help and hundreds of idle men are to be| seen around the city every day asking for work.” There is no justification for the belief | that city workingmen out of employment cannot avail themselves of the demand for labor elsewhere by reason of a lack of means to get to the places where work is to be obtained. It has long been the custom | | cf the employer to advance the money necessary for transportation. Men who are willing to work can | therefore with comparative ease obtain situations at | good wages for the harvest season at least if they de- sire it. Such being the condition of affairs, it is time for { the people of San Francisco to be less generous to | sturdy beggars on the street. There are too many | people who really need help to make it commendable | to support in idleness and vagrancy those who do not ! need it. As a rule the well to do people of American cities are so thoughtless in their liberality to street | beggars that we are maintaining in every city in the | Union a class of such persons that ought to be pun- iched rather than helped. That, however, is a minor issue at present. The one thing to be done now is to make clear to the un- | employed of the city that abundant work at good | wages awaits them, they choose to apply for it. The work must be done, for the farmers and orchard- ists cannot afford to lose their crops. Unless white men will undertake the work, a resort must be made | to" Asiatic labor. Thus a double harm will come if the | unemployed whites préfer to loaf in the city rather | | than to work in the country. California has plenty of work for all her industrious citizens, have no share at all in the general prosperity of the | vear will have only themselves to blame if they neg- | ‘IJHQ earn it. i ITS USES. R TP ICICICIT I I 032*82058082'032;52; ® apparently if and those who | THE AUTOMOBILE AND | F3ROM the been rapidity with which improvements | have made upon the earlier designs of atitomobiles, and from the success which has | of late attended their use both in Europe and in this | country, it is now evidént we are close upon the time they will constitute an important, not the chief, means of transportation for freight and pas- | sengers over comparatively short distances. | Two difficulties confronted the inventors in seek- for and along country roads. One hioning a machine that would not be too heavy or too complicated in its structure. The other, that of providing a convenient, cal and safe power for propelling it. Both these dif- ficulties have been now fairly and the | automobile has been accomplished. While the first successes with the new vehicles were achieved in France, there is every reason to believe American ingenuity has not failed in this, any more than in other forms of mechanism, to outstrip- the | world. The machines, in use in Eastern cities, whether propelled by gasoline engines or by com- have proven to be of a high order of ex- So completely has their usefulness been | when iin_«: to devise a seli-propelling vehicle suitable | general use in cities | | of these was that of economi stirmounted, | pressed ai | cellence. | demonstrated that large plants are now engaged in | constructing them and large combinations of capital | have been formed for the purpose of supplying them | for use in all parts of the Union. Among the ¢ities which will soon have automo- | biles for general use is San Francisco. That muclfl scems assured by the reports of the organization of a | company to put them into operation here. In any| event they will be introduced here before long, fo their economic value, as well as their convenience, so great that no progressive community will long be without them. The introduction of the new vehicle into general | use will work something like a revolution in the | fcrms of street transportation. The street car com- | pany, which has been so aggressive in its encroach- ments upon the property.of the city, will then have acompetitor that willsoon bring it to terms. The auto- | mobile will require neither rails, cables, poles nor wires to perform its work. It will be able to handle pas- senger traffic more cheaply than the street cars and more conveniently, and may eventually emancipate the streets from the domination of the car lines alto- gether. One of the chief advantages to be expected from the automobile is that of transferring freight across the city and for considerable distances in the coun- try. In a’'recent trial an automobile made a trip irom Cleveland, Ohio, to New York Ciiy at a rate of seventeen miles an hour. That is not equal to the speed that has been attained on French roads, but it shows what the vehicle can accomplish on the average American highway. Clearly the age of the horse as a draught animal is nearly over. The automobile will do all his work. | Pugilist Kennedy's friends are of the opinion that Pugilist Ruhlin, considering the fact that he is to get | the lion’s share of the purse in their coming fight, should alto take that ammal's share of the punish- ment. i AL - If there is any truth in the reports from Wardner, Idaho, concerning the ill-treatment of white women by the negro soldiery, the verdict that “the colored troops fought nobly” will have to be reversed. It is reported in the newspapers that the schooner W. S. Phelps had a hair-raising experience on her | the most cleverly c | for New York to | September 24 They will come ia a WILL RISK FENDER that will fend is thought to have at last been discovered. Its inventor, Ed- ward Wehrhan of Jefferson, Tex., has such confidence in its efficiency that he has offered to test it by standing in front of a rapid- 1y moving car equipped with his device in the streets of St. Louis in order to convince the managers of the street railways of that city that he has per- fected a fender that will fend. The thrilling test is expected to take place shortly and will be looked forward to with deep interest by the street rail- road men of the entire country, and if the fender is successful it will mark a new era in life-saving apparatus. The invention consists of a double fender, or a combination of two. The lower fender picks up the body lving on the track and the upper fender lands the person caught in a stand- ing position. The lower fender throws the object between it and the upper one, while thé top fender lands a man on the top of it, giving him six feet of space from the front of the dash- beard, which is all the space desired for the protection of legs and feet. The bottom fender is placed just suf- ficiently above the rails to clear them and extends four feet from the 8ash- board on the dead level. The gop fen- der rests on an angle measuring six feet from the dashboard. ©o2e20ReR 0%+ R+ ReREUIRIR, “THE LIARS.” !
