B Y the vote of the people in favor of issuing bonds for extensive municipal improvements a new interest is given to the proposed amend- | ment to the constitution providing that “all bonds | | hereaiter issued by the State of California, or by any | | county, city and county, municipal corporation or district, including school, reclamation and irrigation districts, within said State shall be free and exempt from taxation.” As the law stands the bonds about to be issued by the city will be virtually unsalable in California. They are to bear rates of interest so low that if sub- jected to State and county taxes they would not yield to the purchaser an interest sufficient to justify buy- | ing them at par value. One series of the bonds will pay three and a half per cent interest, and the other only three per cent. Even the highest of these will not net the holder more than two per cent under the lightest State and county tax levy likely to occur. Such being the condition of affairs it is well assured t unl the practice of taxing be stopped all of our bonds issued for State or local improvements will have to be sold to capitalists in the East or in Europs. That will entail the sending of interest money out of the State every year when it might just as well be re- tained at home. Upon the bonds to be issued by this city the yearly interest will amount in round numbers to $183,500. That sum is in itself considerable, and when to it is added the interest on all other State, county, city and district bonds sold outside the State it will be seen that the drain of money from the com- munity will be a serious evil. There is no way by which a Government can gain iing by taxing its own bonds. The tax always 1e market value of the bond, and no bond that ect to taxation can be sold as profitably as one It is thus impossible for a commun- to increase its wealth by such forms of taxation, ns in revenue in that way it has to pay out in increased interest rates or sacrifice by sell- g bonds below par. e, Invm:r case we not only gnh_1 nofl:in_g but lose e !vt:m!_\- by the mil_}- of such taxation.

There have been times when the matter was deemed of such importance that it was spoken of as “a burn- ing issue.” However, nothing ever came of it but smoke, and so we have the same old question to dis- cuss again. During the years of the industrial depression the iny im- It has been so problem came very near sclving itself. ~Compara- tively few immigrants came into the country while the hard times lasted, and some sanguine folks came to the conclusion there wo rush again. id never be much of a With the return of better times there has come an increase in the number of Europeans who wish to share in our prosperity, and consequently the immigration issue is now as portentous as it was ever at any period of our history. The recent report of the Commissioner of Immi- gration at New York, the point at which 86 per cent of the immigrants land, shows that during the month of November there were admitted at that port 4133 cabin passengers and 26,460 steerage passengers, a total of 30,593. In previous Novembers there were admitted immigrants as follows: 1895, 16,881; 1896, 11,283; 1897, 12,174; 1808. 18.189. It said the rate of immigration in the fall affords a safe basis upon which to estimate the rate for the coming year, and the conclusion is therefore drawn that in the year be- fore us a veritable army of immigrants will seek work, wages and homes in this country. The immigration from Southern and Eastern Eu- rope, which was so notable just before the panic years, has begun again on an extensive scale. It i said that almost the entire increase in the immigra- | ticn of 1899 over that of the preceding year is from Austria-Hungary and Italy. The Austrians coming are from the southern and eastern parts of that coun- | try—from Croatia, Kraine and Dalmatia immigrants are heading this way from Bosnia, Herze- govina and Montenegro. These immigrants are of races quite distinct from that which formed our government and established our institutions. They are aliens in everything. Their arrival in such numbers as are likely to come in dur- ing the year will menace the welfare of the communi- ties where they settle. They will tend to lower the wage rate, depress the standard of living, and encour- age class antagonisms. It is certainly imperative that some restriction be put upon their coming. The is- sue is therefore revived again in all its force, and this e it is to be hoped Congress will do something to check the evil. e e e The early years of the twentieth century will doubt- less be most noted in history for the exploitation of | Africa, but whether the result will be the enlightening of the Dark Continent or the darkening of the cen- tury remains to be seen. THE LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION. R EPORTS from the committee in charge of ar- rangements for the convention®of the National Livestock Association, to be held in Fort | Worth on the 16th of this month, are to the effect that nearly a thousand delegates will be present, rep- resenting almost every State in the Union. In addi- tion to the regular delegates a number of distin- guished gentlemen will attend the convention either as invited guests or as representatives of the Na- | tional Government and of foreign nations having an | interest in the cattle business. It is stated the Imperial German Government will be represented by B. R. Baron Herman, connected | with the embassy at Washington. The Canadian Government will be represented by Hon. Henry | Wade of Toronto, and it is believed the Mexican | Government will send a delegate direct from the City of Mexico. The livestock industry between the latter | Government and this is so closély allied that a meet- ing of this character is regarded with the greatest in- terest. Our own Government will be represented by | Hon. L. G. Powers of the Department of Agricul- The vote upon the issue does not take | hure; Dr. Victor A. Norgaard of the Bureau lef Animal Industry; Mr. F. H. Brandenburg | of the Weather Bureau. retary James Wilson has not doned. The industry represented by the association is one of the greatest in the Union, and, moreover, is one in which the Western States are particularly inter- | ested. The proceedings of the convention will there- fore be watched with close attention throughout a wide region of the country. The livestock men, like other producers, are now deeply concerned in ques- tions of markets, and the discussions will undoubt- edly be directed largely to such considerations. Notice is given in the preliminary report of the committee on arrangements that a movement will be made to get the Department of Agriculture to create a bureau for giving public information of the produc- | tion and shipping of livestock. The argument of the | supporters of the movement is that the agricultural interests of the country are amply provided for in this direction, so that the amount of wheat, corn, oats, etc., is approximately known months before the har- vest. The exports, visible supply and consumption are reported daily, through agents of the Department of Agriculture, located in every State. This system tends to regulate the markets and prevents, for any length of time, a manipulation of prices. The live- stock industry does not enjoy any advantages of this | character, and it is now impossible to tell with any de- gree of certainty the number of livestock in each State each year, the weather or sanitary conditions of the various stock-growing districts, or anything about the supply, consumption or exportation other than | private individuals or corporations may see fit to give out. This lack of reliable information is to the dis- advantage of the consumer, and makes it an easy mat- ter for combinations to manipulate prices. The time of the delegates is not to be devoted wholly to business. The hospitality of Texas has ar- ranged a round of festivities for the entertainment of the visitors, and the convention will prove to be both pleasant and profitable to all who attend it. — been entirely aban- Superintendent Reddy of the Almshouse reports that there are fewer inmates in that institution by ty-four than there were this time last year.

HICAGO has accomplished her great enter- prise of providing a drainage from her sewers southward through a canal to the Des Plaines | River, thence to the Illinois and thence to the Mis- sissippi. { ample for commerce as soon as the upper rivers can be prepared to receive and transmit it. The traffic will have to wait for appropriations for the improve- | ment of the rivers. In the meantime the sewage will | flow on and perhaps will raise a stench that will com- pel people living along the streams to make the im- provements at their own expense. In this undertaking Chicago has had a strong and determined opposition from the start. The sewage of the city is to pass through rivers whose waters have been pure and healthful and is to be dumped into the Mississippi just above St. Louis. The magnitude of ‘tll: work is such that since its completion it ranks | as the largest artificial canal in the world. Credit | must be given to Chicago for devising so vast a project and carrying it to success in the face of such antagonism. It remains to be seen, however, whether 1 be expedient to permit her to make use of it as | a drainfor her sewers. | The lands along the Des Plaines and the Illinois rivers are comparatively flat. | rapidly down the streams, and the danger of con- | tamination from the sewage is therefore great. In the | long, hot summers of the Mississippi Valley it will | not take much in the way of sewer stuff lodged along | the banks of the rivers to spread disease over a wide area of country. It is the fear of that result which aroused hostility to the project when first mooted, and it was for the purpose of allaying that hostility it w Water does not flow | The hope of securing Sec- | The canal has been made of proportions | that the promoters of the enterprise changed it from | | a mere sewer drain to a great canal fitted for com- | mercial uses. | Ttis said efforts will be made to prevent the use of the canal as a sewer. If so an interesting question will | be raised and the decision upon it will be of far- | reaching importance. In Great Britain the people |long ago had to deal with the evil of dumping sewage into rivers, and the upper courses of rivers in | that country are now protected from such contami- nation. Sooner or later the United States will have to make similar regulations. As cities increase along the banks of streams the dangers of permitting the un- restricted emptying of sewers into them will increase. Tt will then be in many parts of this country, as in the manufacturing districts of Great Britain, that the sewage will be so vast in bulk as to poison the waters sufficiently to kill the fish and impregnate the air with | germs of disease. A controversy over the Chicago canal will ‘bring that problem up for consideration, and it is probable no harm would be done to Chi- | cago, while an immense benefit would be conferrad | on the country at large, if the decision be reached | that she cannot use it for sewer drainage or any pur- pose that will materially injure the waters of the Des | Plaines or the Illinois rivers. e s e Paris is in great luck to have a year of such wide- spread prosperity for her exposition, as it is probable more people will be able to make an extensive holi- { day trip this summer than ever before in the history | of the world. —_— The United States, having demonstrated its right to the title, “First in war,” is about to be conceded | “First in peace.” Most of the nations on earth are clamoring for American intervention in the war in South Africa. All doubt as to the presence of the Americans with the Boers has been dispelled. No one but a citizen of this land of the free would have heliographed that derisive “Rats!” to the British at Frere camp. It looks as if Buller had decided not to make any further advance in the war until he has made up his mind whether he is fighting in the ninetcenth or the twentieth century. It is a striking proof of how completely Tom Reed has become obscure that not a single newspaper in- terviewer has thought it worth while to ask his ruling on the century question. —_— 1f Congressmen are not willing to pass an immigra- tion restriction bill at this session they might at least debate the issue and let the people know how to vote at the elections this fall. During the course of a recent lecture President Wheeler of Berkeley said he believed most politicians were honest. It is needless to remark he is a stranger to San Francisco.

AFTERMATH OF MAYOR PHELAN'S AP-| POINTMENTS. The Call does not hold itself responsible for | the opinions published in this column, but | presents them for whatever value they may have as communications of general interest. Editor The Call: The undersigned, with a heart overflowing with emotion, desires to return his profound thanks to the Hon. James Duval Phelan, the Mayor of this city, for following the suggestions made by him in The Call's issue of December 29 last and picking at least fourteen names from the list of thirty-three sub- mitted to his consideration for appoint- ment on the spur of the moment. The undersigned fancies and has reason to be- lieve that had he presented the-list to his Honor in person a still larger selec- tion would have been made from it, how large the Lord in his infinite wisdom alone knows. The undersigned acted in perfect | good faith and with bug one idea, to sub- serve the best interesfs of the city. He knew that it would be impossible for his a task which would have taxed the robust constitution of a Hercules or Atlas to the utmost, and the Mayor is far from pos- | sessing the constitution of either, and at the last moment he jumped in and offered such humble advice as it was in his power to give and is glad to be informed that his Honor appreciated it and acted upon many of the suggestions tendered him in a spirit of profound abnegation. In order to test the public pulse the un- dersigned on Tuesday last visited the famous iconoclast, Gavin McNab, the | great Democratic Douglas, in his den at the Mills building and found him like “Niobe, all tears,” surrounded by his crestfallen and lamenting satellites. Con- spicuous among the disconsolate was Sammy Braunhart, the isinglass ticket | man and famous navigator of the water front. ‘Wrapped in a_ bug; robe, such as he once p‘:-gs»nted Mr. (.‘I’;‘Aclnn s Aristides Buckley, the Sage of Livermore,as a token of his affection, he declared that a refusal on the part of Mayor Phelan to appoint him Commissioner of Public Works marked the rock upon which the great party is bound to split. But we, who are philoso- phers, merely laugh at his pretensions and belleve with the illustrious Junius that these idle vaporings are but ‘*the gloomy companions of a disturbed imagi- nation, the melancholy madness” of oetry without the inspiration. Colonel aximillan Parkhurst Popper, the fa- mous street-sweeping contractor, was there flercely stroking his mustache, which he always does when in anger, but saying as little as an Iroquois chief usu- ally says. Colonel Henry L. Bienfield, the celebrated Keyvhole Detective of the Re- formers, who used to carry Primarfes for Mr. Buckley by transporting legitimate voters in vegetable waf‘uns from cne dis- trict to another, thought that the end of the world was near at hand. Gavin McNab himself, the modern Ma- chiavelli from the land o' cakes, looked like Napoleon upon the e\'enlni of Water- loo; like Rachel he refused to be comfort- ed, because his push was not, and all he condescended to say was that it was a fight between the people from South of the Slot and the great social clubs, such as the Pacific-Union, Bohemian and Uni- versity, and the clubs won, which has all the appearance of thruth, for upon con- sulting our latest Soclety Blue Book we find that the Pacific-Union Club has recelved seven appointments. Bohemian Club has received six appoint- ments. University Club has recelved six ap- pointments. Burlingame Country Club has received two appointments. San_Francisco Art Association has re- ceived two appointments. San Francisco Verein has recelved one appointment. ‘entury Club has received one appoint- ment. Laurel Hill Club has received one ap- pointment. St. Andrew’s Soclety has received one appointment. v ‘wenty-seven appointments out of a possible thirty-three is not a bad begin- ning, and our heartfelt and sincere con- ratulations are due to these clubs for the glondlelfl victory. The undersigned, who is a Democrat of the most pronounced type, one who always speaks of the party of Jefferson and Jackson with the same affection with which Claude Melnotte spoke of his beloved Pauline Deschap- elles, feels in duty bound to congratu- ate his Honor, the Mayor, upon three or four appointments peculiarly appropriate, | 1 | | | of © Conspicuous amo these Is that of James Denman, familiarly known as “‘Golden Jubilee Denman,” to the position of a member of the Board of Education. Of course, Mr. Denman, like several oth- ers who received appointments, su 1th Bryan nor Ju re, u like that don't go & long neither Mr. LS wa, . lxtty when BSan Francisco years ago, was but the insignificant Pueblo of Yerba Buéna, when Mayors were still Alcaldes, solid nines nothing but common regi- dores, and when the dark-eyed senoritas stile and Andalusia eagerly listened from the overhanging balconies of un- | eouth adobe dwellings te the protesta- tions of eternal devotion falling from the lips of the gallant cavaliers of old Spain, James Denman was a eonstant and never failing guest at the public banqueting table, and with slight variations he has| been there ever since. Of him it might be | said that he was like thepoor we have him | always with us. In sickness and In health, | in success and adversity, he has been our | steady boarder, and promises to remain such until the end of his appointed time. Not less appropriate is the appointment of John “Barkis” Casserly, a member of | the famous Burlingame Country Club, to | be one of the Board of Education, for the good people who live south of the slot | have long declared that their children would never amount to much in this world unless they could play lo and lawn tennis, and Mr. Casserly has kindly promised to introduce both of these ac-| complishments into the public schools. Not a few people find fault with the appointment of a man who years ago filled an elective office In_this city and who had come. to regard all duplicate taxes and taxes paid under protest as the | personal perquisites of his office, o much 80 that the Grand Jury was compelled to convince him of his error. His Honor, being a very busy man, has probably not heard of what has long been an open | secret, and attention is not called to it_in the hope that future appointments of this kind may be averted, but just to remind | some people that to’ be a reformer one need not necessarily be an angel. | The thousands and tens of thousands | of people who live south of the siot de- | sire to repudiate the slander circulated | about town by disappointed job chasers that his Honor has given them the over- look, for they have received the appoint- ment of one Park Commissfoner out of the thirty-three appointments, and they are absolutely satisfied and glad to have received 8o much. The malicious suggestion that the slate ?re!l’med by his Honor on Sunday morn- ng last has put the kibosh on eertain Senatorial aspirations is one that needs no answer at the present, for he has made it a rule of his life never to cross a stream until he comes to it. The undersigned in conclusion desires once more to thank his Honor for listen- ing so kindly to his suggestions made at the last moment, and he freely adver- tises the fact that he will be ready to submit another and similar list one vear hence, when the official life of those who have drawn the short terms in his Honor’s lottery shall have come to an end.
