But the railroad acknowledges no other rule than the right to cut out its pound of flesh | whenever it pleases, although dripping with Ameri- can blood. In modern times imperialism has improved and obeys some hu duties, If the railroad is the state and entitled to appropriate such proportion of the profits of industry as it pleases, then at least it should make formal arrangements to perform its cor- relative obligations, and should not cast them upon other citizens who are chronic rebels against its despotism and its exactions. and pron those ord Russia the extended. anita; BALLOT REFORM WISDOM. N the course of an interview a few days ago Sen- ator Stratton, author of the Stratton primary law, | under whose supervision much of the reform bal- lot legislation enacted by the late Legislature was | passed, made some remarks with reference to the| new Rickard law which are worthy of reproduction. “The provision in the Rickard law,” said Senatqr Stratton, “‘against placing on the ballot the tickets of independent conventions will not work in favor of | the bosses if the good citizens go to the primaries | and secure control of regular conventions. | Whenever the bosses fail to get control of a conven- tion they organize a rival independent convention. This has been done more than once in San Fran- cisco. They cannot run an independent ticket on the ballot now. The Rickard law may bring citizens out | for the primaries who would otherwise be negligan‘ Heretofore they have relied on independent move- ments, but they cannot do so any longer.” This is pure and unadulterated wisdom, and it is re- spectfully recommended to the hysterical editor of an esteemed morning Democratic contemporary. . Sen- ator Stratton’s primary law, if it has -any purpose whatever, is designed to give the-people a chance to unhorse the bosses. It provides for lawful primaries, | which every good citizen may vote for delegates to his party convention. For any one to allege.that the political bosses can capture conventions afid foist upon the people unrepresentative candidates ‘when every- body goes to the primary ballot-boxes and votes is | to make a statement calculated only to engage the attention of men who have to be confined in padded cells The Rickard ballot law is the legitimate offspring of the Stratton primary law." Senator Stratton says he could not see this and he opposed its enactment. But with all due respect to him, we adhere to the conclusion formerly expressed, that an alphabetical system under the legal convention plan set up by the new primary law would be a downright absurdity. If the people are to have legal conventions and legal tickets, the latter should be protected upon the bal- lot, for the party designation of a legal convention will possess significance which should not be ob- scured by “piece clubs” and so-called “independent” movements. It is our opinion that if the Straiton primary law is a success the Rickard ballot law will be a desideratum, the value of which can scarcely be overestimated. Otherwise, it may be otherwise. the When a Filipino ‘will not fight Aguinaldo has him killed, and when he will fight as likely as not he runs against an American soldier with a loaded gun. The only safe course of the Filipino would seem to be to take to the woods. Alger wants the army supplied with a candy ration.

Thcy“ have copied pictures in which nude art has been car- | ried to the extreme of indecen: they have induced vile women to pose in half nudity, and of these they‘ have made scenes to tempt the depravity of manhood | and the curiosity of youth. | These vicious exhibitions are displayed in San Francisco with an efffontery that is as audacious as | it is shameless. In an investigation of the extent to which the evil is carried on along our principal streets The Call yesterday exposed the fact that a considerable number of the patrons of such places are schoolboys, some of them so small they ha"e to be lifted in the arms of their larger companions to bring their eyes on a level with the aperture in the machine through which the pictures are seen. Beneath the depth of this open depravity there is, moreover, a lower depth which the proprietors of the places disclose to those wha are known to them. For i of such patrons even the slightest | pretenses of decency are thrown aside and a degra- dation as low .as that of the slums of Chinatown is | presented in foul pictures displayed in the vitascope | and ribald songs clinked out from the phonograph. These vicious exhibitions are the more dangerous to society because they are given under the guise of scientific novelties of invention and new achieve- | ments in mechanical and electrical art. In that form: they attract large numbers of persons who are not | depraved and have no desire for the indecent. By{ the patronage of such visitors an air of respectability | is given to the places of exhibition, and parents have | no objection to make when their children go there | to spend their nickels. For a time the proprietors of the exhibitions con- | | ducted their places with much outward show of de- | cency, but now they have become bold. The ma- ¢hines in which the pictures are placed are plainly irked with signs intimating the depravity of the scenes within, and these occupy prominent positions in their showrooms. It is therefore no longer pos- sible for the public to overlook the affront given to its morals and its laws. It is difficult, indeed, to un- derstand how even the police can have been blind to it for so long a time. It is not a pleasant subject to deal with, and The Call would have gladly turned aside frém it had it been aware of any way to suppress the evil other than by exposing it. It now directs to all of these | so-called phonograph and mutoscope parlors the at- | tention of the police, the Society for the Prevention | of Vice and the public generally. A good step was! taken for reform and the welfare of society when | the notorious gamblers of Ingleside were compelled | to give up the nefarious trade which was tempting | large numbers of people to evil courses leading to | dishonor and suicide, and now another step in the sume direction can be taken by the suppression of the indecent pictures and songs that are corrupting the | youth of the city. It is not necessary to enact a new ordinance to cover the subject. The present law suffices. All that getic action on the part of the police. The exposure made by The Call has been sufficient to show the nature of the offense and point out some of the more | conspicuous places where it is carried on. It is now the turn of the police to act. | | ILLEGAL HDVERTTSING AGENTS. 1 fl QUESTION involving the right of corpora- | tions to act as advertising agents, when no such business has been included in the articles of incorporation, has been raised in the city of New York and can be studied with interest and advantage throughout the country. It is an issue which affects all legitimate advertisers and deserves their attentive consideration. In a recent issue of Leslie's Weekly | the case is thus presented: It has been stated that the Manhattan Elevated Railroad of New York declined to grant the re- quest of Richard Croker for the use of the elevated structure to carry the pipes of a compressed air com- pany because, among other reasons, the elevated railroad, under its charter, had no right to make such an agreement. The charter of the elevated railroad was granted for the purpose of carrying passengers in this city and for nothing else. Alder- man Okie, one of the best men in the board, under- stands the situation, and he is in favor of strictly limiting the operations of the Manhattan Elevated to the rights granted by its franchise. The Edi- torial Association of the State of New York has ap- pointed a committee to request the Governor and | Attorney General of this State to insist that the | elevated and the surface railways discontinue the advertising business, which is now done in violation of their charters. Publishers of newspapers, maga- zines and other periodicals feel, therefore, that they have a right to enter a protest against illegitimate competition by corporations chartered exclusively for transportation purposes. It is estimated that more than $2,000,000 annually is diverted from the regular channels of advertising by the various street ! rallways in the cities of the United States. It is | remarkable that this abuse has been tolerated so | long and so patiently. | It is not in New York only that corporations have | thus transcended the powers granted by their charters. | Street car and ferry companies are in this way | offenders on a large scale. They carry on an adver- tising trade to an extent which makes their cars and their boats veritable moving billboards plastered with advertisements of every sort and kind. From the trade they derive a large revenue, every dollar of which is illegally obtained by acts done in violation of their chartered privileges. A flagrant illustration of the boldness with which some corporations engage in the advertising trade without a chartered right to do so is to be found in the fact that the Market Street .Railway Company of this city, not content with using all of its cars for advertising purposes, sets apart some of them exclu- sively to advertising. It parades up and down the street a car in which the people are not permitted to ride, the whole service of the car being to carry a brass band and attract public attention to the thing advertised. It is clear that if the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company of New York cannot legally carry the pipes of a compressed air company neither can it legally carry the advertisements of that or any other com- pany or person. The same rule applies to corpora- | tions throughout the Union. They are granted the privilege of carrying on certain specified kinds of work, and when they go beyond that they are violat- ing the law. The legitimate advertisers of New York have done well in protesting against the continuance of this il- legitimate competition. The evii is a growing one, and it is high time strong efforts were. made to check it. e r—— - There is not much to say about the individual who sends over a telephone wire a false message that another individual is dead.

N American publicist has collected the sanitary fl statistics of England and France relating to their military service in their tropical armies of occupation and conquest.. Wherever possible the Pritish military stations in India are located in a dry climate, as heat and humidity together are recognized | as a partnership of deathly influence. The British army in India consists of 70,000 men and officers. Their average annual hospital admissions are 97,738, or 1386 hospital cases for each 1000 men. The aver- age number of days each soldier is sick is 34.35, and | the number in each thousand constantly sick is 93.85. | As these include the dry stations in the hills, the showing is better than that made by the hot and noist camps. Taking Ahmedabad as an average of the latter, the hospital admissions are 3417 to each 1000 men, or more than three to each man. One-half the cases are the tropical®malarial fevers which sap the constitution. Of 2493 men stationed at Allahabad the annual average suffering from cholera, smallpox, enteric, yellow and other fevers, is 631; from malarial fevers, 381; from the dreadful constitutional disease of vice, 1228, and from other diseases 1375, making the total annual hospital admissions yearly 3615." The Royal Fusiliers, numbering g31 men, have 118 con- stantly sick; the First Royal Welsh, numbering 877, have 140 constantly sick. For the dreadful and in- cradicable constitutional disease referred to 112 in cach 1000 are treated in Scotland, 123 in Ireland and | 153 in England, of the home troeps, while in the tropical forces the number is 314 in the West Indies per 1000, 333 in Ceylon, 359 in China, 479 in Straits Settlements, and 522 in India. khand district the number of such cases is 711 per | 1000 men. It must be remembered that in the Philippines our army of conquest and occupation has to face both heat and moisture, and all the physical and moral dangers which long experience has failed to guard against in the British’army. In a campaign of ten months in Madagascar the French army of 12,830 | men, without any hard battle, lost 4189 men, or 325 of every 1000. One battalion made a forced march upon Tsarasotra, and all died of disease on the way, not one living to reach the objective. In the first year of our war in the tropics eleven men died of disease to one of battle causes. Yet the | main body of our army sojourned but briefly under a vertical sun, and most of them were near our base of supplies. Until we get the uncensored statistics of our opera- tions in the Philippines the sanitary facts of our cam- paign there will be unknown, but there is no reason to believe that we are escaping the consequences of tropical occupation which have fallen so severely upon the armies of every country that has set its feet in that hot and poison path to glory. Kipling, who was born in Bombay and was sent to England to be reared and educated, returning to India for his career, has set forth vividly the results of camp life there. The “White Man's Burden” is not imposed solely by the intractable tropical races, but is the curse of a climate to which the natives are immune, but which can never be innocuous to the temperate zone races. It is a grave question in economics whether the profits of trade secured by any northern people from the tropics has paid for the sacrifice of money, life and health required in securing it by conquest, mili- tary occupation and forced laber. In their normal state, and controlled by indigenous races, the tropics would yield a certain volume of trade for the temperate zone nations. It was this natural trade that fattened Venice and Genoa. When it is substracted from the volume secured by con- quest, ownership and military occupation, a basis is furnished on which to estimate the actual returns of such ownership and offset it to the cost. It is certain that the nations which have such ownership do not make it pay in public revenues. The tropical colonies of Spain showed a deficit in revenues to cost of government for thirty years before she lost them. Holland has had a deficit of colonial revenues since 1877. It may be said that while the public revenues have not paid the cost of government, private individuals have been enriched. No doubt this is true, but out | of it arises the grave question of the right of a na- tion to hold a subject people in bondage at public cost while they are exploited for private profit. SOME SALT LAKE ELOQUENCE. S we journey through life, dizzied and hali- A stunned by the uproar of a thousand dis- cordant noises, it is worth while to pause and listen whenever the rhapsody of fluent eloquence rings out above the general din and offers to the wearied mind something in the way of intellectual inspiration. A voice of that kind comes to us from Salt Lake through the pages of our very much esteemed con- temporary, the Tribune. Answering the supposed question of a foreigner as to how many States there are in the Union, the Tribune says: “Forty-five States and some Territories; they fill all the space between the two great oceans, and at one bugle-call last summer in every one soldiers fell into line; the tread of the thousands was like the tolling of the bells of destiny, and the flashings of their stan- dards reflected back the sunlight through one-eighth of the sun's daily round. And they all speak one lan- guage, all sing the same songs; all turn for inspira- tion to the same flag; and though' each is a separate wave, when blended they make but one ocean, and when in full roar all the shores of the nation are in unap- proachable splendor, there is no counterpart for them in all the records of the nations that have existed, since nations were first organized on earth.” Considered as an answer to a simple question in political geography, that passage deserves to take rank among the highest ever penned, and, moreover, it is all true, as is ever the case with a genuine elo- quence.” When we have conquered Aguinaldo and set about the work of educating the Filipinos they should be compelled to commit that to memory as the first lesson. It might be advisable to send a copy of it to Kaiser William also. There are several kinds of instruction in it for several sorts of people, so it ought to go the rounds and find a place in every well regu- lated scrapbook. ‘Perhaps the fact that a man recently hanged in Missouri fell through the same gallows that had been fatal to his father years before will give students of heredity something to think about. Those Cubans do not seem to appreciate the fact that half a loaf is better than no bread, and if they shall not soon acquire appreciation they won't have even the half-loaf.

The Hornet, a bright little paper pub- lished at Houlton, Me., tells the following story about Colonel John P. Irish: Mr, John P. Irish, who made such a stirring speech at the Indianapolis con- vention, has for several years been recog- nized as one of the most eloquent orators on fhe Pacific Coast. He is a resident of San Francisco, and is best known in the West through his connection with the Southern Pacific Railroad. The day after he made his speech Mr. Irish was a good deal of a hero and was much sought after by delegates who wished to congratulate him. At the same hotel where he was staying the Hon. Patrick J. Gleason, the renowned Celtic Mayor of Long Island City, was a guest. | As the big-fisted Mayvor was sitting In the lobby a bellboy approached him and asked: ‘“‘Are you Irish?” “I am thot,” replied makes you ask, sonny “That man over there told me to.” re- sponded the boy, pointing out a strange: Gleason was half inclined to be wrathy. He was puzzled also, but he waited. Soon after the stranger came up to _him, slapped him on the shoulder and re- (’,}.geason: “but what marked, “That was a fine speech you made yesterday, Irish.” “Look herei” said Gleason, turning fiercely on the stranger. “I'm Irish and I ain’t ashamed of it; but I'll be — if I'll have any whiskered jay call me so to me_face.” ““Why—er—ah,” gasped the stranger, “I thought you were Mr. Irish of San Fran- cisco. I—er—was told so.” “Oh!” said Gleason. Then there were drinks. Colonel Irish was born about fifty-five years ago in Iowa City, Iowa, where he ilved until 1880. In that year he removed to San Francisco and edited the, Alta California, which was for a long time the Jeading newspaper on the Pacific Coast. He has had a varled political career, but never met with much success, having been successively defeated as candidate for the State Legislature, Congress and Governor. He was appointed Naval Officer of San Francisco by President Cleveland. ———————— Officers of Verein Eintracht.
