Y far the best suggestion yet made in regard to B the proposed monument to Admiral Dewey is that of Charles Goodall, published in The Call yesterday. This suggestion proposes that the monu- ment be erected on the summit of Telegraph Hill. It therefore implies a double improvement for the city. First an addition to our heroic monuments, and sec- ond a dedication of Telegraph Hill to a fitting and noble use. The pioneers of San Francisco early recognized the co! and picturesque beauty of Telegraph Hi adaptability to public use as the site of 2y 1d recreation ground. By the liberality and far-sighted civic patriotism of a number of public ted men the lots on the summit of the hill were n to the city for such purposes, and a good deal of money was expended in building a wall and making to fit the location for the purpose The property is still owned by the muni- s , but of late it has been neglected, and at the present time even the superb view to be had from the lofty site rarely tempts any considerable number s to the spot. indifference, however, Telegraph | v reason of its location and natural dignity, the most conspicuous feature of the city.

It is a part of a richer and more pop- ulous city. It is to be the striking feature of the great tem designed to skirt the north shore and provide 1 Francisco with the most superb driveway in the world. As such the hill should be preserved from further destruction by quarrying and grading. It should be suitably adorned as the chiefest ornament of the downtown portion of the city, and it would be most appropriate to use it as a site for heroic monuments. By his victory at Manila Dewey saved San Francisco from all danger of Spanish at- tack, and it would be most appropriate that his mon- ument should stand on the natural watch height of the city, whence the spirit of the hero would ever seem to guard our commerce and defy our foes. e ——— boulevard sy: Blanco has again been cut off from cable communi- cation. He has had this experience often, the puzzle being that he doeg not seem to know it and goes right on communicating. ey Tripping through the Suez canal at $160,000 a trip would seem a little expensive as amusement for the Spanish fleet. It would be cheaper to go ashore and get up a bullfight. People who wonder why the war came to a pause have forgotten that Truthful Jeems Creelman is laid up with a bullet through his bump of assurance. How could it go on? The best wish for the expert French gunners on board the fleet of Camara is that they wear shirts proof against thirteen-inch shells and know how to swim. SR Al The new ferry depot will soon be ready for use, and the steal connected with its construction not visible to the naked eye of a Grand Juryman. If Aguinaldo take Manila the process of taking it from him will be as easy as though the Spanish were in possession, and quite as important. Of course it has come at last, and really it was over- due. The story of the woman who jilted Cervera is now in the hands of the printer. In the matter of fiction Blanco evidently does not intend that any yellow correspondent shall leave him altogether in the shade. Austria shows signs of no longer desiring to be im- pertinent. Evidently Austria reads the papers. It would appear that the Spanish lack the courage to sgrrender. | We are told that the tears rolled down their cheeks, THE REWARD OF HOBSON. HATEVER may be the gratification of Hob- W son over the reward the Government has pre- pared for him in the way of promotion and increased pay, it is probable he will not find it so pleasing and grateful to his heart as that which was given him by the army on his release, when the troops received him not merely with the cheering ordinarily given to a popular hero, but with hearty handshakes and words that express a personal friend- ship and comradeship in danger and glory. We are told by the dispatches that the exchange of prisoners by which Hobson was released took place in full view of both the American and Spanish sol- diers who held the front lines at that part of the field. When Hobson and his little band of companions who were captured with him arrived at the first line of the Amierican entrenchments the troops literally fell upon them. The heroes found every hand extended to them, and every grasp was given with the grip of admiration and genuine affection. The released men found this reception too much for their self-restraint. Heroes they are, drilled to discipline, and trained to overcome emotion, but at this reception from their comrades in arms they gave way to their profound feelings of gladness and joy. and that they were completely overcome by the warmth with which they were greeted. Their re- ward for valor and daring in the service had come to them in the voices of their fellow soldiers, and all that the President or the people can do hereafter will seem cold in comparison to that heartfelt recep- tion and spontaneous manifestation of honor. | It is not strange that this should be so. By no i class of Americans was Hobson’s gallant deed more admired or more truly appreciated than by the men | who, like him, are fighting the battles of the eountry | against the Spanish foe. No class, therefore, was better fitted to praise him rightly, or more apt to | regard him and his comrades with genuine love for their patriotism and valor. Moreover, the praise of | no class of people is so welcome as the praise of one’s peers. The soldier prefers above all applause the plaudits of his comrades in arms. Hobson, therefore, has found and enjoyed his best and sweetest reward. The Government will do much for him, but the day of his life which he will remember with most pride and satisfaction is that which brought to him release from the Spanish prison and the glo- rious reception from the boys at the front. e e Cuban soldiers are too proud to do the work re- quired of American volunteers, but their haughti- ness is not so marked as to prevent them from eating the bread of charity when they can get it. Altogether the Cuban does not come up to the ideal formed of him. He is far better as an abstraction than in the lazy concrete. While School Directors are threatening to resign the public awaits hopefully a demonstration that the | threat is not a bluff. The Directors have not done | much for the community, but considerable to it, and a | lot of resignations would be evidence of desire to | make amends. SOME MYSTERIES OF SPAIN. TR EEE o | S the war progresses the strangeness of the | /:\ Spanish ‘character becomes more and more manifest. Diplomacy as exemplified in Madrid seems madness, taking at times a form almost gro- | tesque. From the beginning there has not been a WHAT WILL THEY HAVE? T is instructive to bring together the issues offered lby different members and organs of the Bryan Democracy. One is opposed to the war revenue bill because it does not provide sufficient taxation to pay all preparative and current expenses of the war without issuing bonds. This apostle of the pay as you go idea proposes to make the fall campaign against | issuing bonds and in favor of present taxation. When ihe gets to the convention he will meet the other apostle who is telling the people how they have been betrayed by taxing them at all. He speaks of Re- publican stamp taxes, and the Republican increase of the beer tax for war purposes sets him bleeding brine at the eyes for the sorrows of the poor, who must drink a smaller schooner and pay that beer tax in unquenched thirst. e fiercely demands that all the taxes should be put on “the rich,” and as fiercely fails to say how stamp and liquor taxes can be paid only by one sort of people and not by another, un- less we have a law compelling the rich to guzzle beer and the poor to refrain. The same pfan might work as to all other kinds of war taxes, and so their pay- ment could be put on one class to the relief of the others, but in no other way. These two manufacturers of issues will meet a third, who is opposed to both bonds and taxation for war | purposes. He wants the seigniorage coined. If he were asked what that is he would be in the same fix as the British statesman who was infuriating the House of Commons by a speech against some finan- cial legislation for India. The climax of each period was: “This will cost the Government not pounds merely, but lacs of rupees.” Finally a member asked him what a lac of rupees was. He stammered a mo- ment, confessed that he didn’t know, and sat down. But one man with the seigniorage issue wants it coined, and for the rest of the war expenses he wants issued irredeemable paper currency that shall be an unlimited legal tender for all debts, public and pri- vate. So convinced is he that Uncle Sam can hold himself up by the seat of his financial trousers with his left hand while he fights with his right, that he de- sires to expel General Wheeler and the few Demo- crats who voted for either taxation or bonds and in- tends to elect a Congress that will impeach the Presi- dent for signing the war revenue bill and court-mar- tial the army and navy for fighting under it. These three schools of opinion are coming together to consult over the means and ways of voting a want of confidence in the President, while he goes on straight ahead in command of the army and navy while they march and sail and fight from victory to victory. / s troops upon Peking had compelled the Em- peror of China to accede to the demands of the allies and accept peace on terms dictated by them, ON TO SPAIN. FTER the advance of the British and French | the Chinese authorities, we are told, announced the fact to their subjects in a manifesto declaring that the “white devils,” having been severely punished by the Son of Heaven, had dispatched a large body of suppliants, several thousand strong, to the royal resi- dence praying for peace, and that the lord of the Celestial Empire had graciously consented not only to pardon them for past offenses, but to permit them to trade with his people and occupy certain ports where they might enjoy the blessings of his goodness and profit by the wisdom of his counsels. Were it not for this precedent it would be a single move indicating intelligent direction. Every act of the Ministry, leading inevitably to disaster, but | paves the way for an act more unreasonable. The | Spanish mind does not appear to grasp the situation | or to realize that each new embarrassment arises | as the definite result of a definite cause. Perhaps | Madrid expects a miracle to intervene. Such an ex- pectation would be no more out of consonance with | sanity than has been the course of the Ministry. Neither does there stand out plainly a logical ex- cuse for the elaborate system of lying which was early inaugurated and is adhered to faithfully. If the people of Spain are to be long deceived by falsehoods so pal- pable they have sunk to a degree of ignorance even | more abject than had been supposed, and if the re- | action at last shall not be more frightful because of | the false hopes raised and the phantom victories an- | nounced, they are intellectually dense as the beasts of | the field. When the ships of Cervera started on their last dash they were manned by drunken sailors, and the courage shown was in part the bogus bravery of in- ebriation. There is beginning to be reason for sus- pecting that over in old Madrid the guiding minds must be stimulated similarly. Spain demeans itself as | though in that stage of drink-exaltation where there | is neither fear nor the ability to repel or avoid that which a sober man would recognize as danger. Among the emotions stirred by the terrible sea dis- aster is one of regret that the ruffians who escaped by brutality to the women cannot yet be taken back | to the scene and beaten to death with bludgeons as they try to escape drowning. —_— The Spanish can afford to encourage the planting of the Red Cross far toward the front. As they use it as a shelter while planting guns it gives them a safe and to them congenial method of making war. R coast of British Columbia awaiting the coming of treasure ships from the north is probably as true at least as a Hearst account of beheading as she is enjoyed by the Cubans. However, there is the shadow of a chance that the rumor 1s not wholly baseless, and it is worth investigation. It is not to be supposed that the Spanish have granted letters of marque and relapsed vicariously into their old trade of piracy. If armed vessel there is along the northern route it is a private enterprise, not a privateer enterprise in the common understand- ing of the term. That some set of thieves of the moral grade of those who on land make a specialty of looting trains may have equipped a long, low, rakish craft, contrived a black flag out of mourning goods and be now flying the sable emblem along the route of the treasure ships, is within the bounds of possibility, yet not far enough within to cause imme- diate alarm. We trust that such fears as may have been aroused will be speedily allayed. Nobody ever beheld the Jobberwock, yet who shall presume to say there is no Jobberwock? Still, the likelihood of its exist- ence is too remote to cause an active sensation of that creepy feeling. We know that it may exist, and we know the blood-curdling ship may be skipping along the main with all sail set, skafl and cross- bones at the fore, and the captain biting the blade of a large knife as he peers out over the deep and the THE SPANISH PRIVATEER. UMORS that a Spanish privateer is off the Alaskan breezes toy with his wealth of fierce whiskers. —— Editor Hearst has not yet explained why individu- ally he has out-lied his paid liars. General Shafter says that Correspondent Hearst harassing problem for the Spanish Government to continue to give the war news in a way calculated to satisfy Spanish pride and vainglory. To misrepresent events at Manila and at Santiago may have been a comparatively easy task to the liar who has been trained by years of experience in Spanish politics and diplomacy, but now that Watson’s fleet will soon cap- | ture the Canaries and then blockade the ports of Spain itself it will not be so easy to deny that the Americans have been victorious and maintain that the “foreign pigs” have been slaughtered by the champions of Spain. When once the sound of our guns has been heard at Cadiz and Barcelona, and the waving of our ban- ners has been seen streaming from cruisers all along the coast, the only recourse left to the organs of the Madsid Government will be an adoption of the Chinese manifesto. Sagasta will have to announce to his people that all these warships have come to European waters as suppliants suing for peace. How much longer the Spanish Ministry will con- tinue the war, ostensibly to preserve Spanish honor but in reality to maintain themselves in power and preserve the monarchy, is a question concerning which it is almost useless to speculate. Spain has still one fleet left. It is not strong enough, however, to oppose any effectual resistance to Watson and will doubtless be hurried into some port where it will have the protection of forts and land batteries. There it will remain until some freak of Spanish strategy, as unexplainable perhaps as that which ordered Cer- vera out of Santiago, shall order Camara to put to sea and deliver his men and his ships over to the in- evitable doom. The chances are, however, that we are soon to have peace. The Emperor of China had sense enough to perceive that when suppliants came by thousands with arms in their hands to ask for peace it was time to grant it. Sagasta should have at least as much sense as the unknown Prime Minister of the Celestial monarch. | lceived in this country the fact that it bears the legend, “By way of Madrid,” is sufficient to rob it of terror. According to late information by this devious and debasing route there has been a revolution of the Philippine insurgents against the Americans. That there should have been a manifestation of hostility by people who consent to be led by the easily- purchased-and-hard-to-keep-bought Aguinaldo would not have smitten us with surprise. Many Americans believe that the principal trouble in the islands is to come from the natives, who have every reason to be grateful for rescue from the clutch of Spain and ought | to be glad to agcept any government offered them, certain it would be better than they ever knew. This particular Madrid dispatch betrayed itself un- necessarily by giving as a reason for the hostility the presence among the American troops of a number of negroes. There are no negroes among the troops. Just why a people whose skins vary from lemon color to a dirty brown should object to negroes, anyhow, does not seem quite clear. But there is no violation of confidence in telling Spain that this country has some colored soldiers, that they have won a reputation for righting nobly, and, while their appetites are good, would rather fight Spaniards than eat. Doubtless the Spanish would draw the color line even more rigidly if they realized that many of their dead in the trenches about San- tiago are there as a result of a visitation of negroes wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam.

We were lounging about the clubhouser at the Blue Lakes Hotel and discussing the philosophical problems of life, especially on its ethical side. The question of personal bravery arose, and Hart said that he was strong in the be- lief that if he should meet with an accl- dent on the lake imperiling his life not one of us (mentioning a few of my friends who were rusticating with me) would come to his rescue. Now, I rarely bet, but something impelled me to offer a wager of $50 that if he (Hart) should be in a dangerous position not one of the party would falter in risking his own life to save Hart's. I did not think further of the matter, but the very next day one of my friends came to me and said he had overheard the conversation between Hart and myself the preceding night, and thanked me for the stand I took. “That night it was sweltering hot, and we were out on the lake. Hart was sail- ing with one of the party whom he had maligned, and I was in a rowboat with the others whose courage he had called into question. Suddenly a cry of ‘Help! Save me!’ broke out on the stillness of the night, and we recognized the volce of Hart. With one accord the four of us in the boat were in the water in an instant, swimming toward the fear-stricken sailor. ‘We reached him some time after he had found the gunwale of his capsized boat, and all we got for our pains was a con- catenation of imprecations for being a lot of fools.

A woman make take an exam- ination for any position she is qualified to fill. The records of the service show that the number of women applying for clerical places is greatly in excess of the calls of the appointing officers. The posi- tions to which the largest number of them are appointed are teachers and matrons in the Indlan service. A few women are appointed to technical and professional places, and as stenographers and type- writers in the departmental service and as inspectresses In the customs service. ON THE ELIGIBLE LIST—R. M., City. A man who is on the eligible list in either the Internal Revenue Department or Cus- tom House takes his chances of receiv- ing an appointment, war or no war. Section 37 of the classified civil service rules says: “The perfod of eligibllity of all registers is one year from date of entering the name upon the register, and the name is entered on the register as soon as prac- ticable after the completion of the mark- ing of the papers. The date of entry is usually but a few days subsequent to the date of the notice of eligibility.” Ap- pointments are made only as vacancies occur, and as it is impossible to know at this time if any vacancies will occur in the next six months, no one can say if any appointments will be made in the department named in this State during that period, or if any appointments will be made for Manila. TOWING—Steuart Street, City. This correspondent seeks information in rela- tion to towing, and asks: “Why is it that the tug Fearless can tow a 2500-ton ship at, say, nine knots per hour, but if the engines and machinery were transferred from the tug to the 2500-ton ship and used on her that ship would not make more than flve knots an hour?" This question ‘was submitted to George W. Dickie, man- ager of the Union Iron Works, than whom there Is no better authority, and he has kindly furnished the following answer: “The suggestion reminds me of a story told in connection with a meeting of scientific engineers when the question came up for discussion, ‘Why is it that a steam cylinder wears more at the ends than in the middle? After a great many had expressed their opinion as to why it was s t old Scotchman asked an- other on, ‘Does a steam cylinder wear more at the ends than it does at the middle?” and no one seemed able to an- swer the question. The fact is that the same power as developed by the engines of the Fearl in towing a ship, if ap- plied directly in the ship itself, would de- velop a littie more speed than she made when_ being towed. Take, for instance, the P. I. Company’s steamer San Ma- teo, carrying coal between the sound and this port, which has a registered tonnage gross of 2027. The speed of this vessel is just nine knots, and the power of the en- glnes is practically the same as that of the Fearless. The Fearless could not tow this el as fast as her own engines propel her. The difference would be just the resistance of the Fearless added to the ship she was towing. There Is a kind of popular belief in regard to_the towing of vessels that is somewhat difficult to ac- count for the origin of, foundation whatever in fact. —————— Peanut taffy, best in world.
