COLONEL 'HENRY’S CRIME. UDENTS of human nature will find in the career, the crime, the confession and the sui- of- Colonel Henry of the Intelligence De- partment of the French army one of the most inter- esting problems ever submitted to the analysis of psychologists. : Every circumstance of the case, as well as every salient “¢haracteristic of Colonel Henry himself, is well.known.. The whole tragedy has been played out in the.blazé of a publicity that attracted the attention of the ‘entire-world, and back of all that is known looms a vast mystery affecting not only august indi- viduals, but mighty nations. Certainly a better set- ting for a.drama dealing with the deepest depths of thie human heart is not to be found in the history of this céntury in any civilized land. The career of ‘Colonel Henry up to the time when i % affair 'was.a most creditable one. The son of a French peasant, he showed when drafted into the ny such soldierly characteristics that despite the lack of influential friends his promotion was rapid. From the ranks he rose to the grade of a commis- sioned officer. During %he war with Germany he was noted not only for gallantry, but for fertility of Twice taken prisoner, he twice escaped, resource. and emerged from the war with as honorable record as any patriot could desire. "His services immediately after the war were also distinguished. In fact he seemed to be of the best soldier type that the world knows—faithful, laborious, blunt of speech, prompt to obey and fitted to com- mand. During his service with the colors in the colonies he became afflicted with an incurable ma- larial’ féver, and was thereupon transierred from the army itself to the staff at Paris. .There the curse came upoir him, and he entered upon the path of crookedness and crime from which his soldier soul coulil find no escape ‘except by suicide. . Two incidents .of the tragic last day of his life illumine the inner depths of his character. He had “ denied the authorship of the forged letter with which he was -confronted and persisted in the denial until his’ commanding general told him to reply “on the tionor of a soldier.” Then he spoke out, “Since you put mé_on my honor as a soldier I confess.” A few ‘hotirs afterward as he took leave of his wife he said, “I'have done nothing wrong; I feel no sting of con- séience.” Before the sun went down h. had cut his throat and lay weltering in blood a suicide upon the fioor ‘of-his prison. - If will be in vain that the French officials ask the world to believe that 2 man with such a record as that " of ‘Colonel Henry committed this forgery -own initiative. The man’s sense of honor and of duty was clearly that produced in some natures by excessive militarism. The type is ‘common, but in Colonel Henry’s case the devotion to the army, its officers and its cause had reached an ab- normal development. Perhaps the malarial fever may- have had some effect in weakening his brain .and thus. made him an easy victim to the in- " trigues of his commanders, but the dominant impulse “to his crime must have come to him from the out- side, and from a source which he had learned to re- spect and to serve with a blind devotion. Out of the confession and the suicide will of course come a reopening of the Dreyfus case, and along with that there will be a fuller understanding of all the circumstances and all the actions of the extraordinary case. . When that understanding is reached then .Colonel Henry will probably be seen to be a martyr to-the superstitions of military discipline, and not upon himself alone will fall the blame for the crime that brought a shameful close to a career so long carried on with honor in war and in peace. There is nothing cheerful in the circumstance that a leper has been found in a local laundry. People are prejudiced against having their linen handled by persons having this disease. And now that the leper has been discovered there is no place to put her ex- cept a den ta which a humane man would not con- " demn a pig. . E —— General Bermudez has been executed by order of Gomez. He.was a Cuban officer who between skir- mishes hanged his subordinates for the fun of seeing - them kick. Bermudez got only that which he de- served, and not enough of that. He should have been executed several times. " It takes no prophet to say that Jacob Neff will be -the next Lieutenant Governor, and by a majority so mighty that his Populist opponent will wonder whether there was ever more than one in the race. .Republicans are confident of winning, but not so confident that they are going to sleep expecting to awaken with certificates of election in their hands. e was involved in the terrible meshes of the Dreyfus | 2 and are now trying to accomplish the same unlawful end by indirection. In other words, they have | dropped the boldness of a bandit and are now playing | the sneakthief. : On Thursday the officers of the corporation, whose | disloyalty leads it to fight against the war revenue bill | and whose greed induces it to snatch stolen money | when it can, sent notice that unless The Call paid for | the revenue stamps for packages of newspapers | shipped by the company it would refuse to carry such | packages. That notice at once raised an issue The | Call was only too eager to meet. It declined to be | held up and bled by the disloyal corporation, and in | an editorial gave notice yesterday that it would carry | the case into the courts and make the fight for prin- ciple on behalf of the public. This morning we have to announce that the presi- | dent of the company has weakened. The prayers of that pious official have probably been answered by a | warning of conscience that when one intends to vio- late the statutes of his country and rob his fellow- man it is best to do it on the sly and by some cunning | means that cannot be punished in court. Accordingly, from John J. Valentine, president of the company, there was received yesterday a back- down couched in these words: “Referring to my communication of yesterday and the report of our Manager Rowell to the effect that you insist upon not furnishing revenue stamps for your shipments of newspapers, I have to say that it is of course imma- | terial to Wells, Fargo & Co. whether you furnish | the stamp or whether the price for service be | made to include the stamp, which is also within our | province; therefore we will perform the service as | usual and amend our rates for same so as to cause you no inconvenience.” This letter, it will be scen, evades raising a test case for the courts. Wells, Fargo & Co. will not | carry out the threat of Thursday to refuse to carry E packages for The Call. Fear of the law will prevent ;thcm doing that, but they make a sneaking claim | that they will get the price of the stamps by a means which the conscience of the president permits him to | practice when he wishes to evade his taxes and vio- i late the laws. | The Call has no hesitation in declaring this morn- ing that the sneak of yesterday will prove as impo- | tent as the bluff of Thursday. The tax-shirking, dis- | loyal company will no more stand to the new posi- | tion than to the old one. Express charges upon pack- ages of The Call are not paid by The Call, but by its agents, to whom the packages are sent. We give notice to all these agents that if they fight this claim of the company The Call will sustain them. If | Wells, Fargo & Co. charge them, or any one of | them, as much as one cent more than the rate they | have been paying according to agreement, let them | refuse to submit to the extortion, go to the courts, and The Call will make the fight for them. | Wells, Fargo. & Co. are wrong, and the president :‘ knows it. It requires no great legal skill to under- stand the meaning of the war revenue act in the clause imposing a tax upon the business of express companies; it requires no very great piety to have | a conscience clear enough to perceive that to rob a | neighbor by a violation of law is an offense against | the Almighty as much as a violation of the Ten Com- | mandments. The president of the corporation knows these things. He knows his company has no stand- : ing in the courts or in morals, and in the face of a | fight against it will not attempt to maintain the posi- i tion. It is very well known that with the exception of the president, the local officials of Wells, Fargo & Co. were in favor of paying the tax as the law re- | quired, and would have instructed the subordinates | to do so had not a combination of express companies in the East decided to shirk the tax and make the public pay it. That combination was made in viola- | tion of law. It was itself an illicit coalition, and a conspiracy to defraud the Government or the people or both was its object. The officials of Wells, Fargo & Co. surrendered understanding and conscience to the dictation of this combination, and as a result the corporation has become involved in-a disgraceful sit- uation which it can neither maintain nor escape from without sneaking. Dispatches from the East announce that the com- bination.of express companies there has already gone | to pieces. The public has only to stand firmly with The Call and the claims now abandoned there will be abandoned here also. If, however, Wells, Fargo & Co. persist in raising the rate of charges so as to take from the people the amount required of the corporation by the war revenue, the people will not be without a remedy. Express companies operating in other States are compelled by the laws of those States to pay a license tax, which in every case is far higher than the stamp tax levied by the nation for the purpose of defraying the cost of the war. California hitherto has neglected this source of raising a revenue. There is no reason why Wells, Fargo & Co. should not be compelled to pay a State license, and if the company insists upon shirking its war tax and throwing the burden upon the people, there will be a very potent reason apparent to the next Legislature why that license tax should be imposed this winter. OUT GOES THE SEVENTH. GREEABLE to the clamor within its ranks /E\ and without, the Seventh California will be dropped from the muster rolls. Its going will cause regret, for the Seventh is a gallant body of men, an honor to the State, and should there yet be a demand for active service it is the sort of regiment California would be glad to have representing it at the front. It is worth remark that the managing editor of the Examiner sent to the Secretary of War a demand that the Seventh be permitted to lay down its arms. So it is permitted. To be sure the determination had been reached before the managing editor was thoughtful enough to issue his ukase, and the fact was published in The Call, but we direct attention to the circumstance, making the prediction that the modest sheet of the Hearstlings will claim all the credit. “Let them be mustered out,” and they were mustered out. The fact that this course had been decided upon be- fore Hearst's man got upon his hind legs and spoke for the people of California must not rob him of his share of the credit. Mind has an influence over matter. The very circumstance that a mind, and such a mind as Hearst's hopping understudy, had been made up as to the fate of the Seventh simply settled it. There was no necessity for heating the wire w'ith a fresh, warm thought. The work was done with the mere thinking. It's what you call telepathy, and under the guidance of a master it's a great thing. The Police Department never believed the Stock- ton story about the purchase of the fatal candy there. No. The department will frankly say so itself. THE SINGLE TAX AMENDMENT. 88 MENDMENT No. 2” to the State con- fl stitution, to be voted on at the coming election, is the single tax proposition, agreed upon by the propaganda of that idea, and by the opponents of private ownership of land urged upon the Legislature. It proposes to authorize coun- ties to appoint a Board of Freeholders to frame a system of county government in the nature of a special charter. In its operation this special charter may relieve all forms of personal property of taxa- tion and confiscate land in private ownership by putting upon it a tax equal to its rental value. Of ne- cessity private ownership of land will cease under such a regulation, Land will belong to the commune. It will cease to be used as security for loans, and its confiscation will mean the confiscation also of all mortgage equities existing at the time private owner- ship ceases. This amendment is Judge Maguire’s in- direct and sinister method of accomplishing ‘the con- fiscation of land. A very large number of people are vitally interested in this question. The report of the Bank Commissioners for 1896 shows that there are in this State fifty-seven savings banks, with 159,856 depositors. These depositors are mainly the thrifty, economical and prudent class among our mechanics, laborers and small trades- people. They had in the fifty-seven savings banks in 1896 $131,653,635 55, on which they draw 4 to 4% per cent interest. The average deposit per person was $823 57. This money of these prudent people is mostly invested in mortgages on land. A recapitula- tion will exhibit plainly the interest of every savings bank depositor in the private ownership of land: Number of savings banks .. Number of depositors . Amount on deposit Loaned on real estate . 67 5 169,856 .$131,653,635 55 . 102,281,200 07 Real estate owned by banks ... 4,459,789 70 Invested in stocks, bonds and warrants.. 23,359,059 40 Loaned on stocks, bonds and warrants.. 6,856,781 79 Loaned on other securitieg . . 143,155 50 | Loaned on personal security . 1,324,956 58 It will be seen, then, that of the money belonging to these 159,856 depositors in savings banks $106,740,- 989 77 is loaned on real estate mortgages or invested in real estate for the benefit of those who earned and saved it. Under amendment No. 2 the counties of the State may adopt local option taxation, put all tax on the land, and put an end to private ownership. These 150,856 savings bank depositors to the extent of their mortgage interest are the private owners of land. Their equity in land will be confiscated the same as the interest of the owner of the record title. The savings banks are merely the trustees of their de- positors. When the public has confiscated the landed security they have taken in behalf of their trustors, the depositors, the banks will not have any means by which to recover the money loaned on land, and of necessity must default to their depositors. Of the savings bank depositors 128,484 have their money in the savings banks of San Francisco and are probably residents of this city. It is possible that a large proportion of them are not land-owners in fee and may be unaware that they have any interest in the private ownership of land. To all such we send this information that to the extent of their sav- ings deposit they are interested in the private owner- ship of land. Its confiscation is also the confiscation and loss of their savings. That landed security is the safest and most profitable to them is proved by the fact that the banks seek that form of security and resort to others only when compelled to do so by the accumulation of deposits beyond the demand for loans on mortgage. There are other reasons grounded on the econ- omies of public administration why the people should defeat Maguire’s single tax and land confiscation amendment No. 2, to which reference will be duly made. The first reason, however, is that it is a sin- ister attempt to confiscate land titles and rob also the thrifty laborer of his accumulated savings invested for him by the bank in which he deposits. /\/\ ing interest in the war with Spain will re- member that shortly after the call for volun- teers it was announced from Washington with some- thing fike a flourish of trumpets that no women would be employed as army nurses. High authori- ties had decided that the presence of women among the wounded was more pernicious than helpful. Woman’s ministrations, it was said, were excellent themes for poets, but they were not calculated to promote the strength of armies. It was even said that the illustrious Florence Nightingale was an overrated creature of sentiment, and that among the battling hosts at the Crimea she was more of a nuisance than a blessing. All that was the prevailing philosophy in lofty circles about a hundred days ago, when the war was in its first flush, when the soldiers were all healthy, hearty and happy; when there were no wounded or sick or dying; no pestilence raging in the camps, no dread diseases threatening officers and privates alike. It is different now. The glory of the war is over, the triumphs of victorious battles are things of the past. We have now to deal with the sick and with the wounded, and where now is the resolve to ex- clude women from the hospitals and the camps where the sick are lying? All reports from the stricken camps tell us of the work the women are doing there to nurse the in- valids back to life. Miss Helen Gould and her col- leagues, and the goodly host of the ladies of the Red Cross, are much more conspicuous than the officials who so short a time ago decided that as nurses they would be nuisances. It is the old story—the woman rejected by the war- rior in his pride buckling on his armor is now wel- comed with grateful tears by helpless invalid and hailed as the angel of the camp. THE MINISTERING ANGEL. In relating the statement of a major general of the army, whose achievements on the field have been honorable, the Post calls him “Pecos Bill.” This is more than an insult to Shafter. It is an insult to the whole army, and is a coarse and inexcusable piece of blackguardism. e While there is occasionally fault to be found with the police, they are assuredly right in the effort to send the forgers Becker and Creegan across the bay, and it could almost be hoped the Supreme Court would take this view of the case. ARl Aguinaldo is said not to be taken seriously by the E:uropean powers, but he may be taken seriously y a lot of canvas-backed soldiers from the United States and put where he will do the least harm.

In connection with the subject of mas- | cots and “hoodoos,” which are supposed | to brighten or cloud the lives of theatrical | managers, the revival of “The First Born" | at the Alcazar on next Monday night re calls the history of a mascot, the golden power of which inspires the awe and ad- miration of every one connected with that fortunate home of amusement. When Francis Powers, a commonplace | actor, wrote “The First Born” after a 1 protracted study of the customs and vle of diction of the Mongolians, as {llustrated in China- town in this city, the efforts of the management to Te- new the ulf(\vtimhc popularity of the | pretty Moorish the- | ater had proved fu-| tile and the institu- tion was having a death struggle for existence with the prospect of surren- dering to adverse | circumstances very near. The Celestial story was read and reread, and after painful considera- tion the extra ex- pense of producing the play was under: | taken with ar and doubt. It w a cast of the die which meant everything to the discouraged management. The quaint child of Powers’ mind was introduced to the public a year ago last May. The public overlooked it as the sgurt ignores the. existence of a white check on the floor of a gambling palace. For a whole week that work of art was played to empty benches. Even the crit- fcs carelessly viewed it and overlooked its merits. However, its promoters had in it the faith of the shipwrecked sailor and continued the play for another week on the proposition that there was nothing to warrant the presentation of a new at- traction, when they had a gem that the lhonlerg}?ers would not patronize. They had a mascot and they believed in it. On the opemng night of the Celestial creation a baby'ssshoe and glove were found in the dress circle and taken to the box office. Belasco was excited. “It's a_good omen,” sald he. ‘“We are playing ‘The First Born.' This shoe must certainly belong to the first born of some It is a mascot. We will | roud father. eep 1t.” Thall sald ‘‘amen,” and it was hung on the wall of the office with silken cord to | bring good luck. ‘When the mother came to get her baby's footwear, she was told the cir- cumstances and given the money to buy a new pair of shoes and went away con- tented. Here is what happened: ‘With the beginning of the'second week the public awoke to the fact that the Alcazar had not alone something in the line of a genuine novelty that everybody wanted to see many times, but a gold mine in a little play. “The First Born,” with its amusing and touching scenes of Oriental life, its quaint music and char- acteristic odor of burning punk ran for 100 nights to crowded houses, making a barrel of money for the managers. All this time the mascot hung on the wall. It s there vet, covered with dust and cobwebs, a thing to wonder at and wor- ship, that even the decorators dared not disturb when the office was renovated. ‘‘Hands off” is the stern rule.. Its potency has remained steadfast, for the Alcazar has prospered ever since that baby shoe came Into the life of the theater. As a proof of its influence for good its gus,rdmnsgmln( to the fact that within the year and a half since the ad- vent of the mascot, Lewis Morrison, who *ame here for a four weeks' engagement, ad a remarkably successful run of 100 nights, and, furthermore, that business is moving along with the new company at the same old place. . Anybody coveting that mascot must call at night with a “jimmy” and steal it. That is the only way to separate the management from it. —_—— The discovery has been made that metal fllings of any kind can be compress lntogm which can stand as ueverpe teseg as the original bars which | Bnthe gin which supplied the AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

The statement that you heard made by a public speaker tosfhe effect that “Eng- land sent $20,000,000 to America recently to bribe the American press so as to mis- lead the American people into an alli- | ance,” is as wild as the other state- ments made by him and which you quote in your communication.
