N It is a safe assertion that nowhere on the planet | was there a brighter, better, happier or more beautii Thanksgiving day than that which shone for San Francisco the Reed rules was, it appears, much more declama- tory than effective. Mr. Henderson, the prospective Speaker, is said to have declared himseli in favor of retaining the Reed rules and his voice will go a long | way toward deciding the question. There are very strong reasons why the rules vnder which Mr. Reed managed to enable the House to attend to business despite the efforts of a turbulent minority to prevent it should be continued at this session. There is a great deal of business that ought to be attended to and much of it is of urgent import- ance. The money question presents two distinct issues, that of fixing the standard beyond the power of a President to tamper with and that of reforming our banking and currency system, and each of these should be dealt with promptly. To these may be added as matters of urgency the passage of a mer- chant marine bill, a_revision of the war revenue act, the establishment of a form of government for Hawaii and Porto Rico, the enactment of the Nicaragua Canal bill and a bill providing for more stringent re- strictions upon immigration. Each of these measures is sure to meet with strong opposition. There will be a fight made against every one of them and in the contest the opponents of the measure will not hesitate to make use of all means of delay which the rules of the House may place in their power. It is certain then that if the Reed rules be set aside the new Speaker will be seriously handicapped in his efforts to keep the House in order and hasten the accomplishment of public business. General Henderson can be safely. trusted with all the position of prospective successor to Reed with- accomplish it. - As soon as it was known that Reed would retire the thoughts of a majority of the Re- publicans of the House turned to General Henderson and he became their candidate without solicitation on his part. Under these circumstances he enters the contest for the Speakership with such assurances of support as will enable him to attain the office un- hampered by any pledges which would interfere with the just and right fulfillment of its duties. There can therefore be no valid reason for taking from him any of the powers vested in his predecessor and it is to be hoped no effort to do so will be successful. British generals continue to claim victories in their lreporu from South Africa, but still there is nothing in them which inclines the folks at home to have a season of thanksgiving. ——— \v conservatism in expenditures fo. public im- provements, we also recognize the right of the people to act directly upon the issue of boads for PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. purposes that are beyond the reach of an immediate HILE we recognize the need of wisdom and tax jevy. San Francisco has enjoyed the distinction of being bonded debt. Thanks to the wisdom of Frank McCoppin and other early administrators of city affairs, the government of San Francisco | has never ' gone far astray from the interests of the people, and such charges as have been brought against any part of the city government have rarely related to vicious handling of public money. With a good reputation, as the reputatiops of cities go, San Francisco may well add thereto a ¢haracter that comes from adequate public improvements. The plans now proposed for additional park facili- ties, more sewers and better and schoolhouses that are modern are not of recent origin. Hon. Frank Newlands, a dozen years ago, published a compre- hensive essay on what might be done to make the best use of San Francisco’s climatic and scenic ad- vantages, in which all that is now proposed was pointed out, and many more improvements were sug- gested and discussed. Mr. Newlands still shares in the control of large properties here, although now a citizen and public character of Nevada. Since he has represented that State in Congress he has been a large investor in Washington City and is competent body. Various defenses are being put up for Mr. Roberts. | The best of them is in the form of a legal argument | made by himseli. He says he married his fine string | of wives before the admission of Utah as a State under a constitution forbidding such marriages. He denies having married any more since that time and defies any one to point out any prohibition in the Utah constitution that forbids him living with the wives he married before. There is in this argument a question of very serious weight. The Utah constitu- tion is not retroactive; therefore it does not affect Mr. Roberts’ several weddings. Just how it treats his living with more than one woman we don’t know, but we doubt whether the fact of such association is adequate legal ground for refusing him a seat Congress or for expelling him when seated. If Mr. Roberts have a lawyer he may bring among his authorities the case of the woman taken in adul- tery and about to be stoned to death, but who was saved by confining the execution to such in crowd as were themselves without sin. in the It may be that if the Speaker of the next ‘House should fling a stone to hit Roberts for the offense charged a ma- jority of the members would duck their heads—but, then, public opinion must and shall be respected Senator Rawlins of Utah has made a less strong de fense of Roberts, in which he ‘denies that polygamy is tolerated in Utah. We outsiders are well aware that the heart of man is prone to evil as the sparks to fly upward, and we also know that punishment of plural marriages in Utah, whether called polygamy or unlawful co- habitation, is in the hands of. juries, and we very much douht' whether testimony enough can ever be produced in such cases to prevent a Mormon jury giving an accused polygamist the benefit of a doubt. An anti-polygamy amendment to the Federal consti- | tution is the proper remedy, but as that would con- flict with our pledge to our new fellow-citizen, the | Sultan of Sulu, we doubt whether Congress will pro- pose it If Governor Gage could hide himself from public iew as successfully as he hides public documents | from inspection it is not likely that any one would | demand an order of court for him to show himself. | | W(mm Congress was announced and it became known that a new man would have to be chosen for the Sprakgrship of this Congress a movement was | started to bring about a change in the rules under | which the business of the House is carried on. Tt was well known there had been a good deal of objec- tion to the vast powers given to the Speaker under the Reed rules”and it was believed the objectors were sufficiently strong to make sure of a change. b Later reports from Washington show it is by no | means certain that the advocates of the old system of leaving the House to govern itself will succeed in their efforts. Their campaign of fast summer against | i v THE COMING CONGRESS. HEN the determination of Tom Reed to retire to speak of the effect of fine public improvements, parks, sewers and public buildings upon real estate. Washington, though in a trying climate, has of late vears become the fashionable residence city of the East, because of its beautiful boulevarded and smoothly paved streets and its large number of parks, pleasure grounds and fine public drives. If it is said | that people go there to live, drawn by the fact tha, it is the capital of the republic and the center of all the attractions and pageantry of government, an error is uttered. Everything that Washington City has now of pomp and circumstance she had when Pennsyl- | vania avenue was a mudhole in which inaugural pro- cessions mired down unless the mud were frozen hard enough to bear a load on the 4th of March. But no one then chose it as a place of residence, and the officers of the Government spent as much time out- side the District of Columbia as possible. But Washington has changed since then. It has been { made one of the most beautiful cities in the world, | and people who are able to live where they please go there. Mr. Cleveland while in his first term changed the Presidential custom of living elsewhere, and bought a charming place within the District as a pri- vate home for his family. The hundreds of rich families which have made homes there within the last twenty years make the city a better business place than it used to be when its retail trade depended solely upon the Government officers apd clerks in the departments. San Francisco, with everything desirable in cli- mate and set in the midst of the most inspiring natu- ral scenery, owes it to herself to make better use of her many natural advantages by calling art to adorn her with proper public improvements. The effect of such improvements cannot fail to be good. P — The trouble with the Harpers seems to have been due to a belief that they had a sure thing and so they neglected to keep up with the age in the way of machinery and business methods. The new manage- ment purposes to begin by equipping the business with an up-to-date plant and may therefore be ex- pected to flourish, for a plant suited to the age is a plant that will grow. AL There is a disposition on the part of Washington officials to make General Wood the surgeon general of the United States army. This seems ominous in conjunction with the report that the Cubans are determined to revolt. Their anatomy has not been studied for nothing by General Wood. There is a rumor that the President will send to this Congress one of the longest messages on rec- ord, but as the rumor is not based upon absolutely sure authority we can still hope for better things. The piemakers of New England and New York have organized a trust. This ought to bring the pains and discomforts of dyspepsia within the reach of even the poorest. It is about even betting whether the Boer besiegers or the British relievers will get into Ladysmith first, the powers given to Speaker Reed.
