AYOR PHELAN yesterday made his reply to the charge of The Call that he had committed a felony by making, prior to the recent elec- tion, a bargain to turn the Police Department of the city over to A. M. Lawrence. The reply was an evasion. It wds not an answer. With a multiplicity of words and with many a devious turning to irrele- vant issues the Mayor sought to confound the public and conceal the truth. Out of the mass of words, however, something of the truth can be brought to light, and when that is done it will be seen the long and tortuous manifesto is a virtual confession of guilt. | When publishing the charge against the Mayor The | Call challenged him to bring the issue before the courts by a libel suit. That challenge was made be- cause as the time allowed under the purity of elec- | tion law fer making protests against any candidate | who violated it in the last election has now expired | there is no other way by which the issue can be | brought into the courts to be investigated and judged. The Mayor declares he will not sue The Call for libel. He asserts that the votes cast in his favor last November acquit him of a charge of felony made on Tuesday, and made again to-day. He makes use of very brave words in reference to men who live in high towers, who prostitute their profession and are black- guards, but he does not show @ny courage in sum- moning into court men who in good, honest, straight- forward English charge him with felony and chal- lenge him to the only form of contest where the truth |can be established on sworn testimony and be fully | made known. There are some corrupt men who are astute enough |to be able to use many words without betraying themselves, but Mayor Phelan is not one of them. He | has the cunning to resort to a wilderness of words for | | hiding, but not the skill to conceal his tracks through {them. Thus his defense itself affords evidence to jus- tify his conviction. He admits that he frequently re- sorted to the Examiner office and held conferences concerning the Police Department, that Esola was | present at several of the conferences, that his name | was mentioned in connection with the office of Chief | of Police; and he adds: “I was not unaware of the t that his friends expected for him some recogni- | tion in the line of promotion in case I was elected to | office.” That much the Mayor through she: fluency of words, and from that can be estimated what he would be forced to admit further were he subject to cross-examination in the courts. | fact betrays er | From that point the Mayor goes on to fling asper- | sions upon all around him. According to his state- ments the Police Department under the former board corrupt “‘upper journalists are blackgunards and offic was controlled by a only | Ecola was good; i prostitutes except the Examiner, which, to quote his own words, “never, like othérs, truckled to those ;:\1] influences I have described and which beset our |ci range was never very great, and l d in allow things in a prominent ad- There is much more of that kind in the Mayor’s re- ply, but it is not worth while going over it. From the specimen quoted the public can judge the whole. The { Mayor avows the Examiner to be his type of re- | former and declares his intention to run the city along the lines of the practices of that paper. If that be rot a confession of the truth of the charge made by The Call, what is it? The Call repeats the charge that in order to en- compass his election Mayor Phelan bargained away to a predatory gang the Police Department of the city, and asserts again that it has sufficient evidence | to sustain the charge in a court of justice. It is no answer to that charge to say that Esola is | the only incorruptible officer on the police force and | Andrew Lawrence the only honorable journalist in California. Neither was the charge refuted by the i\'u\cs cast in his favor last November, when the peo- | ple were.ignorant of the conspiracy that had been ar- | ranged between Phelan and the advocates of a “wide | open town.” | There is but one way to refute the charge, and that is provided by law. way The courts are open to the | The Call is amply responsible.

There will be no evasion, no flying from justice, no equivocation and no lying to avoid responsibility on the part of The Call. The Mayor is charged with felony and with conspiring to betray | the city into the hands of rascals by giving them con- | trol of the police force. That is the issue. Mayor Phelan dare not meet While the Civil Serv: the sancti sion is locked in of its secret sessions it might find time enough to make out a price list of the value of local | positions. + In the School Department, for example, | ther, pears to be a very serious misunderstanding reference to the proper payment of political debts 1 places.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION. | EPORTS irom Washington are to the effect | R that thereareabundantindicationsinboth houses | of Congress that there willbe strong opposition | ;m the Lodge immigration restriction bill, which has | icen reintroduced into the Senate by the author with- out alteration. In that there is nothing surprising, for there has always been a strong lobby to oppose any kind of restriction upon immigration, but it is | surprising to learn, upon the authority of the Bhila- delphia Record, that it appears Speaker Henderson | has so organized the Committee on Immigration of the House that the Lodge bill or any like measure | will have slight prospect of success in this Congress. The advocates of unrestricted immigration have in- | vented a new argument. It is now asserted that the movement to check undesirable immigration is due to the spirit of Know Nothingism, Nativism and A. P. A influences. The assertion is absolutely with- out foundation. The movement was the logical out- | come of the protective tariff system. It was recog- rized that if we are to afford adequate protection to American labor as well as to American manufactures | it would be necessary to put some restraint upon the importation of cheap labor from Europe. In addi- tion to that fact, there was the further incentive to, | restriction caused by the difficulty of assimilating the Ehordes of ignorant and often vicious immigrants who | were pouring in from Southeastern Europe. Of course the object of the advocates of the free importation of cheap labor in asserting an A. P. A, i origin of the restriction movement is to discredit it. I Accordingly they go further and argue that restriction l would shut out desirable immigrants from British | carnage, always reaches A Islands and from Northern and Western Europe. That is done for the purpose of arraying against the restriction bill all the foreign-born population of the country. Such assertions are utterly unfair, but they will have to be met, for unless contradicted and re- futed they may have weight in determining the action cof not a few members of Congress representing di tricts in which there are a large number of foreign: born voters. The people of the United States are hospitable in their welcome to deserving immigrants from all na- tions who are fitted to assimilate with the popula- tion of the country and become fitted for citizenship. They are not willing, however, to leave the doors open to all comers, many of whom enter for no other purpose than that of underbidding American workingmen in the labor market and earning money to take out of the country as soon as they can get enough to return home and establish themselves there. e — The Society for the Promotion of Inebriety ought to vote engrossed resolutions of respect to the fram- ers of the charter and to the worthy patrolmen of the Police Department. In order not to violate the Sab- bath by working police officers have decided to be blind to all drunkenness on Saturday night. CONGRESSMEN ON DEATH. HEN a Congressman dies his colleagues set Wnpan a day upon which to pronounce eulo- giums upon him. It is then that they lift their minds above the low levels of tariff and finance and discuss the higher themes of life and immortality. Of such occasions it may be said they are times that try men’s eloquence, and it is frequently fortunate that the orations are with due decorum regarded as solemn utterances, for otherwise they might fre- quently move to smiles. A recent number of the Congressional Record comes to us filled with ‘eulogiums upon departed statesmen. One orator reminded his fellow Senators: “The life of the busy, active, public man, who has dealt with the affairs of his time with care and skill and good judgment, finds its close just as certainly Las that of the humblest person who has wrought out his own salvation while on earth.” Doubtless that re- minder to the Senators that they cannot escape the end that comes to the humble who work out their own salvation was needed; but why did the speaker deem it worth while to add: “The approach qf death, whether it appears in the silence and quiet of the | peaceful home or in the midst of the thunder of bat- tle, with the attendant struggle of warfare and the same result—ultimate rest; the rest and quict of the grave”? Did any Sea- ator suppose it ended elsewhere? In a review of this kind of things, so impersonal and solemn, it would be an impropriety to make use of names. Even if reference were made to a speech commending one of the illustrious dead because he “had the good fortune to belong to that mixed Dutch-English ancestry which has the inspiration of glorious traditions of civil and religious literature, of arts and arms,” it would be an impertinence to add that it was Chauncey Depew who spoke it. There- fore it matters not who told the Senate: “The great mystery of death in all ages has challenged the wis- dom of men for its solution, and to-day, after count- less efforts in consideration of the problem, man- { kind is quite as helpless and unsettled as it was six thousand years ago.” In the House the orators are bolder than the Sen- ators, and at times do not hesitate to advance explana- tions of that profound mystery—the death of a Con- gressman. Thus in this same number of the Record a Representative in eulogizing a departed colleague said of him: “He loved discussion and took fpart in the running debates at every opportunity. His tongue was full of words, and it tossed them right and leit | at the slightest provocation.” Another orator, doubt- less recalling that trait of the great man, said: “Re- flection only mystifies, and the field of vision and re- search will not reveal; yet it must be that the God of all, in the interminable conflict with Satan, needed | less advocates here or a more skilled one in the per- | fectly developed world where acoustic properties are unlimited and human effort becomes divine.” After that nothing more need be said. The con- ception that Congressmen are summoned to the other world to make speeches in a realm where acoustic properties are unlimited must be consoling to all of those dignitaries. They may have to die like the humblest who work out their own salvation, but be- yond the grave they may still hope to be golden- mouthed orators with an eternity for utterance. —_— Mayor Phelan has probably come to the conclusion that he is a member of that very interesting class which can’t be libeled. Is it possible that he does not fear what is said in criticism of him, but dreads what may be said? THE LAW @AND THE SECRETARY. MONG the bilis before Congress is one declar- ing: “That the failure of the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations for the use of alcohol in the arts and in medicinal and other liks compounds, as required by section 61 of the act of August 28, 1804, shall not operate as a defense on the part of the United States to any suit of a manufac- turer under said act brought in any court of the United States, and a new trial may be granted here- under in any such suit heretofore dismissed.” Back of the bill there is not only an interesting story but an important question of governmental authority. The act referred to is the tariff act of 1894, and the section in question declares: “Any manu- facturer finding it necessary to use alcohol in the arts, or in any medicinal or other like compound, | may use the same under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and on satisfying the Collector of Internal Revenue for the district wherein he resides or carries on business that he has complied with such regulations and has used such alcohol therein, and exhibiting and delivering up the stamps which show that a tax has been paid thereon, | shall be entitled to receive from the treasury of the United States a rebate or repayment of said tax so paid.” 4 The Secretary of the Treasury made no rcgulétions under which the rebate could be obtained. A suit | was brought by certain manufacturers to recover from the Government the amount of money to which they would have been entitled under the act had the Secretary carried out that requirement of the law. The Supreme Court ‘decided that the law gave the | Secretary discretionary powers either to provide for the rebate or not, as he thought best, and since he made no provision for it the manufacturers have no right to it. The object of the bill before Congress is to pro- vide a means by which the rebate money can be re- covered despite the failure of the Secretary of the Treasury to make the regulations required. The jus- tice of the bill will hardly be disputed. It was clearly the intention of Congress to grant rebates of the tax on alcohol used in manufacturing, and that intent should not be defeated by the failure of the Secretary to carry out the duty the law imposed upon him. rooooooo 4040404040 404040+ 04040404040+ NATIVES TELEGRAPH WITH RUDE DRUMS. 40404040404 04040404040404040404040+04040 40404040404+ o + [ - 3 o ® UCH surprise has been expressed at the quick- ness with which the npatives of South Africa have learned the results of the recent battles be- tween the Boers and British. know nothing of our method of telegraphing, and yet, when victory has been declared for either of the contending parties, the news has been flashed with amazing celerity to remote parts of the countr; Wwhich the news is carried is novel and most interesting.

Archbishop, all the clergy and all Catholics—I might add, all respectable success of the efforts of the FPaulist Fathers and their friends for the effectual and permarnent purification of the vielnity of your church. The late Board of Super- visors are entitled to an honorable place in the histor; of San Francisco for the prac- tical measures they adopted toward that end; and, no doubt, the Board of Public will proceed at once to give effect to the design so universally applauded. Those who, like myself, were connected with the old cathedral for years, will have especial cause to rejoice when that old plague spot is converted Into a beautiful, pleasant park and the whole district from California noxious exhalation as any other part of the city. This accomplished, it will be your duty to enlarge the area reconquered Y your energy and zeal to the pure lignt of heaven. Very sincerely, J. F. PRENDERGAST. Rev. H. H. Wyman, C. 8. P. st S o e G PHELAN THE PURIST. (Stockton Independent.) The San Francisco Call yesterday made the specific charge that Mayor James D. Phelan has committed a felony by enter- ing into a contract before election with the object of securing support in his can- didacy to turn the police over f{o It invites and dares Phelan to begin a suit for libel because of this charge. The Chronicle makes substantially the same mated the same thing in every recent is- sue, but few had any sympathy or confl- dence in the Bulletin's agitation, because it was an adherent of Phelan in the re- cent election and was repeatedly warne by this paper and others that it was fol. lowing a course that would lead to its own undoing. It is now undeniable that In electing of San Francisco not only helped to boom him as_ candidate for the enate and helped him to fasten a Democratic ma- chine on the city, but hoisted a man. dis- guised as udpurlfl in politics, who delib- | erately defled and violated the laws of State in making the most venal contracts for the sake of getting votes. It is a sor- ry outlook for the metropolis. [ e e e e e e ] i ADAILY HINT FROM PARIS, E R et I o e e e ot I o S Y - B e s | L e e e . ] ' BRAIDED CLOTH DRESS.
