APTAIN N. MAYO DYER has landed in Bos- C ton and immediately indulged in an expression | of opinion and belief, to the effect that all anti- imperialists are traitors, and that the time has arrived | by his watch to suppress them. The captain lays | down the law to the effect that citizens who do not support a national administration are disloyal. He| plunges into print up to where he parts his name, and lectures the American people, who pay his salary, as if they were Filipinos adjudged incapable of self- government. His idea of our institutions has the trent of | plicity. The people owe loyalty to the President and | must support whatever the President is doing. When the President says that acquisition of territory by con- quest is criminal aggression and opposed to our na- | tional morality the people must say “‘amen!” When | the President changes, and spends eight hundred | thousand dollars a day in an attempt to acquire the 1 Philippines by conquest, and the facts are kept from | the people whose money is being spent in that ;.ld< | venture, Captain Dyer insists that any opposing citi- | zen is a traitor, and this horse marine desires to sup- sim- press him. | | The logic of Captain Dyer is a twin to that of Dip- | lomat John Barrett. According to it, when the Presi- | dent said that conquest of territory was criminal ag- | gression all the imperialists were traitors and should ‘tha\'c been suppressed, and the anti-imperialists were “]oyalists. Then the President suddenly said “Wig- | wag” and “Thumbs down,” and the imperialists, purged of treason, made faces at the disloyal anti- | | imperialists. i Captain Dyer has perhaps grown rusty on salt water | in respect to the nature of our Government and the | citizen’s duty toward it. When he entered the navy ‘he took an oath to support the constitution of the United States and defend its principles and to obey the orders of his superiors. The President of the | United States, commander-in-chief of the army and navy, is Captain Dyer’s superior officer, whose orders But the captain seems to think that he | g citizens, and | he must obey. is the superior of the plain tax-pay that they must obey him as he obeys the President. This Nickel Neptune is in error. He may be sur- prised to learn that the American people do not take | an oath of loyalty and obedience to him or the Presi- | dent. He seems to fancy that at some stage in the | | proceedings every citizen takes an oath something like anly swear that I will true allegiance | . render to Captain N, Mayo Dyer, and in all matters relating to the policy of the National Government, forsaking all others, will cleave to his opinion until he changes it.

The outlook for | good prices for such farm products is therefore ex- cellent. | In regard to the apple crop the circular sa; “In | the thirteen States having 3,000,000 or more apple | trees in bearing at the last census the condition on June 1, as compared with the average June condition for the last fifteen years, was as follows: New York, 1 above; Pennsylvania, 6 below; Michigan, 14 below; Missouri, 2 above; Illinois, 8 above; Indiana, 5 above; Kansas, 4 above; Kentucky, no difference; Tennes- 2 above; Virginia, 3 below; North Carolina, 4 | | | | see, below; Towa, 11 below, and Maine, 31 below.” The peach crop, it is announced, will probably come as near being a total failure as it ever will come in a country of such vast extent and such varied cli- | | matic conditions as the United States. With the ex- | ception of California, where the conditions indicate | from 75 to 05 per cent of a full crop, there is not a | State that has the promise of so much as two-thirds of a normal crop; few look for even a half crop, and in many important peach-growing States there will be | | practically no crop whatever. In the last-named | category must be placed Pennsylvania, Delaware, | Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Alabama, | | | Tennessee and Kentucky. Preliminary returns of the wheat crop for this | country show that of twenty States having 10,000 | acres or more devoted to that product six report an increase of acreage over that of last year amounting | in all to 245,000 acres, while fourteen report a de- | crease aggregating 715,000 acres, so that there will be a net decrease for the whole country of about 470,000 | acres. The average condition of the crop, moreover, | is reported as but 91.4, as compared to an average of i 100.9 at the corresponding season of last year. | Reports from foreign countries indicate a decgease ‘e]se\\'here in the crop. It is stated the Russian re- ports represent winter grain crops, both wheat and | rye, as almost destroyed by drought, by which the | spring grains also had been severely injured and | would soon be beyond help unless relieved by rain. | Tt is evident that the crop of bread grain for the em- | pire as a whole cannot be a good one, notwithstanding | that for a few localities which have been heard from | the reports are generally favorable. It has even been | ‘ suggested that the crop may not exceed that of 1807. | | A somewhat better showing is made for the crop of | even there the yield is not expected to equal that of | tion is obsolete, and that imperialism has no use for it | s: out reference to its ownership, should be-fairly ascer- | last year. An official estimate, issued May 10, reports that while the area under wheat is about the same as in the preceding season, the condition is 5 per cent lower, which indicates the crop will be about 20,000, A Britigh commercial estimate cited by the circular tentatively puts the world’s wheat crop of 1899 at 1808, a reduction of 244,000,000 bushels, or nearly 89 per cent. Another estimate makes a reduction of These estimates are of course largely matters of speculation. It is as yet too early to determine with They are based, however, on the best information the Government can obtain, and are, therefore, valuable year. The outlook as shown by them is encouraging for California, and our farmers and orchardists may prosperity, with good prices for both grain and fruit. ASSESSMENTS EQUALIZED. Waf{er raised in respect to the municipal assess- ment for the present fiscal year, the action of cially of its Rejublican members, is a new and an honorable precedent in the history of San Francisco. the corporations may have cards up their sleeves, but that will not alter the fact that, for once, a pledge has in assessments secured. The Call does not dispute the proposition that, in there are Democrats who are entitled to their legiti- mate share. But the brag of the Examiner and its justice that the completed equalization discloses is due to the action of Assessor Dodge is unwarrantable. of the personal property of the Market Street Rail- way Company and of other corporations, it is equally | proportion between corporations and private citizens | that had so long existed.

Under any just tained and an undiscriminating rate of percentage adopted. But, i this precision is unattainable and if some inequalities are inevitable, then aggregated and swollen capital and not private citizens should be siib- | jected to the highest rate. The Examiner demands credit for its efforts to ticular officer that ¢he greatest inequalities were intro- duced into the assessment, and had not the Board of | Supervisors, so far as was practicable under existing | | conditions, rectified this inequality and by its method | of equaliz within reasonable limits, not only would small prop- erty-owners have been sacrificed but the municipality would have been placed at the mercy of the State. The essential point to be observed is that a large quantity of property that in former years has fraudu lently escaped from any contribution to municipal ex- | penditure has now been forced out of its seclusion, and that while it is still relieved from a full share of the public burthens, a long stride has and statutory provisions on the subject of taxation. The corrupt politicians who have been used by the Huntington monopoly and by other kindred organi- zations to cheat the average citizen and to buy ex- emption for their employers for once have failed. Some preparations at least have been made for a com- plete trial of the merits of the new charter. The year has marked the commencement of a new era in municipal and in State politics, and in the prac- tical administration of the various departments of government. Republican integrity in the Legislature was ¢oo much for Dan Burns. Republican and Demo- cratic integrity in the Board of Supervisors overcame all the machinations of the plotters of the Market Street Railway Company. Now there has been an approximation toward justice in local taxation, for which also the Board of Supervisors, and not the Ex- aminer or Assessor Dodge, are to be commended. The prospects of the Republican party in the ap- proaching campaign have been greatly brightened by the events of the past few weeks. AN EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING. association known as “The German House- fl wives” Society” has presented to the Municipal Assembly of New York City a petition praying that the city government undertake an official inves- tigation of the conditions of domestic service, with the object, as stated in the petition, of bringing about a better understanding between mistress and maid. The movement can hardly be called another step in the direction of paternalism, for the paternal head of a family is not charged with the solution of servant girl problems. It is a tendency toward maternalism in municipal affairs, and, that being something new in civic development, the experiment is worth trying— at least it is worth trying on the other side of the continent. Something is needed just now to add to the gayety | of nations. Our comedies are dull, our farces are coarse, our funny men have gone stale, and all the humorists have climbed the chestnut tree. There- fore why not turn the Municipal Assembly of New | York loose to investigate the relations, the duties and the troubles that exist between the housewife and the servant girl? The scheme is quite feasible and the re- sults are sure to be entertaining. It would require no great amount of imagination to construct a good plot for a comic opera out of the proceedings of a committee of city authorities gravely interfering between mistress and maid. It is true the petition for such interference has come from housewives, but it is safe to say that if it be under- taken the housewives as well as the servant girls will turn up their noses at the masculine presumption, and perhaps have hysterics if it be persisted in. Nevertheless we repeat the thing is worth trying, and the Tammany Alderinen are the very men to be appointed to try it. The contest between. the tiger and the woman is just the thing we need to enliven the dullness of the summer season. e —————— “Silver Bill” Bryan is not so slow.

It is just posstble that even ex- travaganzas can be a shade too extrava- gant. When there are so many clever ways of being funny to choose from why offend the eyve? The third set is well treated if a litile gtartling. It is as clear, flat, dry and unatmospheric as a picture by Gerome, and makes a fine background for the incongruous, inharmonious figures that move across the stage. And they are inharmonious. No color scheme seems to actuate the grouping and grace and rhythm lose their charm in the clash that results. Even the lights are badly chosen. At times they give one a sea-sick feeling. All this ugliness is made the medium for some really beautiful soli and choruses and some exceedingly clever dancing and specialty work. Miss Walker's song from the balcony was so beautifully sung that no one would suspect the metallic quality that later work discloses in her voice.

So stupid are the lines given him to speak that he gets his biggest laughs by belaboring his lunch counter victims (rather clever types by the way) with French loaves and custard p Given the right lines no one can make point better than Mr. Stevens. Why is he not given them? Will not some one with a trick for rhyme lend his intelli- gence to a worthy libretto? For the man who does, nothing in this world will be too good, and when he dies no cemetery will be worthy of his remains.

The extravaganza, thanks to the glft of enthusiasm, is playing to large ouses and much applause, but will be withdrawn at the <¢lose of the week to give place to “Wang.’ in which Mr. Stevens does excellent work.
