THE TIME TO ACT. S the principal speaker at the recent Chamber New York Tom Reed made what might be called his debut as f His speech was the chief event of the evening, though there was an incident that merits mention as an illustration of certain ten- dencies in New York to cultivate too far the desire of an imperial alliance with Great Britain. The toast, | “The President,” was followed immediately by one to “Her Majesty, Victoria.” A little later in the evening the toastmaster, Mr. Jessup, when giving the toast, “Our Relations With Great Britain,” said, by a slip of the tongue, “Gentlemen, you have already drunk the health of her Majesty, Queen of the United States.” | Such a slip, however, did not mar the occasion. The important subject which engaged the attention of | the guests after the dinner was over was the gold standard, and it was to that Mr. Reed addressed him- seli. He began by informing the New Yorkers that in a country so large as the United States it is not possible for them to have their own way in all things, and proceeded to excuse Congress for not having set- tled the question ere this. Moreover, he pointed out that the two houses of Congress have hitherto been divided on the issue, so that neither House was re- | sponsible for the failure to legislate. To that extent his speech was an apology for the past, but he be- came more firm and definite in speaking of the issue | as presented now of Commerce banquet in a citize that metropolis. For the time imperialism was a minor issue. His argument was that by full discussion the coun- | try has at last become convinced of the folly of the silver movement and has elected a Congress pledged to establish the gold standard, but there is no telling when some other issue may arise which will divert | attention from the money question, and then there will be danger unless ghe standard has been taken out of the power of an administration to determine. “Let us fix the gold standard by law,” he said, “and then | if the people wish to repeal it they may, but it shoul | never be left in the hands of the administration to so administer the law we have that its amply and fully | declared intent should be frittered away.” | Speaking of the danger that this question may be ‘clounled by others in the near future, Mr. Reed ‘poimed to the warning given in Ohio. “Two years | ago,” he said, “when we were in earnest and the ques- | tion of monetary standard was fully before the people, | | the candidate who represented the gold standard re- | ceived 526,000 votes and all his opponents received | 486,000. That was 40,000 majority. This year the Republican candidate had but 40,000 plurality, while a third candidate had 106,000 votes. In the old days, when a majority over all was required, there would | have been no election. T do not enter into the ques- i(ion of whether such an opposition can be united: I | | think it could not; nevertheless, that is a chance which had better not be taken. But it is not the figures vote for men and things, but when the public mind HE seriousness of the situation of British arms | Iis unsettled they vote against men and things. Both | Ohio and Kentucky are examples of this.” The lesson to be learned from that warning is too | plain to be mistaken. The time fo settle the question ;nf the standard is now. There is no telling when the people of the country at large may grow discontented and vote against things, thus putting into power the | party of negation, which is the party of free silver. Not long ako Emperor William presented the | oung King of Spain with the decoration of the Order of the Black Eagle. Now his Germanic Majesty has given Chicago soldiers who fought in the Spanish war a beautiful flag. That celebrated “iron | degenerated fist” seems to have into the “glad | THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE. ! hand.” —3ROM the annual report of the superintendent rnf the Dead Letter Office concerning the busi- ness of the fiscal year ending with last June it appears there has been a singular increase in the num- ber of letters which, for one reason or another, have had to be turned by the postoffice officials over to the dead letter department Letters and parcels held for postage, including both | foreign and domestic addresses, were last year 145,- gainst 85,907 in the previous year, an in- Misdirected letters and parcels were 367,460, against 352,870, being an | of 14550. The number of pieces of mail matter dropped into the boxes without any addresg at all were 71,019, an increase of 5120 over the preced- ing year, and in domestic hotel letters returned to the dead letter office there was an increase from 108,411 in fiscal year 188 to 204,730 last year, or an in- crease of nearly 50 per cent. Tt is probable that a large proportion of these in- creases was due to the war, letters sent to soldiers being misdirected or mailed without postage. It i however, not easy to explain the 50 per cent increase in the hotel letters, unless it be that the increase in prosperity gave more people an opportunity to travel and visit hotels than in the former year and conse- quently increased the amount of mail sent to hotel ad- dresses. 7 crease of 39,670, or 69 per cent. ! increase There are other increases which will require an ex- pert to explain. Thus the number of unclaimed par- cels, including unmailable ones addressed to foreign countries, those returned from abroad and such as B, was 167,673, as against 109,- 320, or an increase of about 35 per cent, while the ained photographs, ordinary unclaimed domestic parcels numbered 71,- 621, as against 30,153, an increase of more than 8o per cent | One of the striking features of the report is that ‘ i relating to letters and parcels containing money | which by the carelessness of senders find their way to | the Among the letters opened ar | the office there were 43,308 with inclosures amount- ing to $37,875 26.

After all explanations are made it will be seen the American people are careless in mailing letters and parcels. The Government does all it can to make the mails sure, but when so many letters are either misdirected or mailed without postage it is clear the Dead Letter Office will continue to be busy and have an important work to do. —— with inclosures to the face value ceipt calls. whi A concern in New York makes extensive numbers of thes There were recently on hand at one time | One of the officers of the Forty-second Regiment will be unable to go with his command to Manila be- cause a court-martial is now “sitting on him.” If | several marauding officers of other regiments who | have terrorized night pedestrians suffered the same experience in a more literal sense San Fran- | ciscans would feel safer. ————— ITH a promptness which is in every way com- | SECOND DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. \v mendable the Republican organization of the Second Congressional District has begun the work of preparing for the coming campaign. The organization has recently adopted a set of by-laws declaring its purposes, “to promote, encourage and | sustain absolute and unqualified loyalty to the Gov- ernment of the United States; to further and by social, moral and political influence assist in inculcating the | principles of the Republican party; to use every just and honorable means toward the renomination of Wil- liam McKinley as the Republican standard-bearer of 1900 and to secure his re-election to the Presidency of the United States.” It is none too early for Republicans in all parts of the State to begin making ready for the contest that is now so rapidly approaching. In years when Presidential elections are to take place the various county and State conventions have to be held earlier | than usual in order to elect delegates to the national conventions. - That entails a beginning of the prelim- inary work of organization several months sooner than in ordinary years. The movement started in the Second District might, therefore, be well fol- lowed elsewhere.

Under the present law these merchants are taxed from $3 to $1000 a year for the privilege of doing busin the sum belng regu- lated by the amount of business trans- acted.

Furthermore, as the charter does not become the law of San isco until January 8, License Col- lector Lees will insist on the payment of licenses on the first of the year for the o | ensuing three months. Mr. Leés says he is acting under the law, and the merchants must apply to the incoming Board of Supervisors for relief. The law says the licenses must be pald quarterly, and he has no authority to accept payment for one month or for any | fraction of the stated period. Over $55. was collected from the merchants on Oc- tober 1, and the sum will probably exceeded by the amount which will be due on January 1. 190. The months of No- vember and December, being what are termed odd months, the amount will be considerably smalier. ARQUND THE CORRIDORS C. C. Schnelder, an attorney of San Jcse, is at the Lick. F.
