With that view we offer them the following translation of the treaty, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted, as it is recognized by Chateaubriand, one of the signers to it, in a book recently published in his own defense. This translation is from the Journal du Havre, March 17, 1831. Diplomatists pretend that France is bound by all the treaties, without exception, that have been concluded by the late expelled Government and the other powers. Is it also bound by the following se- cret treaty of Verona? The undersigned, specially authorized to make addi- tions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows: Article I. The high contracting parties being con- vinced that the system of fepresentative government is equally as incompatible with monarchical principles as the maxims of the sovereignty of the people with the divine right, engage mutualiy in the most solemn man- ner to use all thelr efforts to put an end to the system of representative government in whatever country it may exist in Eurcpe and to prevent its being introduced into those countries where it is not yet known. Articie II. As it cannot be doubted that thg liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pre- tended supporters of the rights of nations to the detri- ment of those of princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it not only in their own States but also in all the rest of Europe. Article TII. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the nigh contracting parties declare it to be their inten- tion to sustain in their respective States those measures which the clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorat- ing their own interests, so intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of princes; and the con- tracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already dcne for them, and solicit his constant co-operation in their views of submitting the nations. Article IV. The situation of Spain and- Portugal unites, unhappily, all the circumstances to which this | treaty has particularly reference. The high contracting | parties, in conflding to France the care of putting an end | to them, engage to assist her in the manner which may the least compromit them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the two empires of twenty millions of francs every yeéar from the date of the signature of the treaty to the end of the war. Article V. In order to establish in the peninsula the order of things which existed before the revolution of | Cadiz and to insure the entire execution of the present | treaty the high contraeting parties give to each other | the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulf rejecting all other ideas of utility or other | measures to be taken, they will address themselves with | the shortest possible delay to all the authorities existing in their States, and all their agents in foreign countries, with a view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of this treat . Article VI This treaty shall be renewed, with such changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the g parties as soon as the war with Spain shall ted. Article VIL. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months. | Made at Verona, 22 November, 1822. | (Signed) For Austria, METTERNICH. | For France, CHATEAUBRIAND, | For Prussia, BERRISTET. For Russia, NESSELRODE. The Spanish colonies in this hemisphere had re- | volted and their independence had been acknowledged by the United States and Great Britain. The treaty | of Verona foreshadowed the purpose of the signa- tories to aid Spain in their recovery. Great Britain obtained knowledge of this secret treaty and com- municated it to the United States. President Mon- roe met the emergency in this clause in his message of 1823: “We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States | and the allied powers to declare that we should con- sider any attempt on their part to extend their sys- tem to any part of this hemisphere as dangerous‘to our peace and safety. With the existing tolonies or dependencies of any European power we have not in- terfered and shall not interfere, but with the Govern- ments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and just principles acknowledged, | we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other man- ner their destiny by any European power in any othér light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly dis- position toward the United States.” That checked the designs of the Holy Alliance as far as this hemisphere was concerned, and perusal of the treaty of Verona will show how all of its purposes have been negatived by events. The Board of Health has decided to establish an office in Chinatown. If the melodramatic members of the board would only make it their permanent’ headquarters and then quarantine the district the peo- ple of San Francisco would be justified in holding a service of praise. TRACTION ENGINES FOR RUSSIA. NE of the most impressive evidences of the effi- O ciency of a protective tariff in building up the manufacturing industries of a country is af- forded by the recent shipment from San Leandro of two of the largest traction engines in the world, to- gether with eight steel carriages, for use in the It is but a short time ago the free traders were asserting we could not manu- facture any kind of good® as cheaply as we could buy them from abroad, and that by imposing a pro- tective tariff we imposed a burden upon consumers for the benefit of a favored class of manufacturers, thereby committing the economic folly of taxing profitable industries to support unprofitable ones. In the face of the recent rapid expansion of our exports of manufactured goods, that argument has been aban- doned, and the inveterate free traders are now clam- oring that since we can compete with any manufac- turing nation on the globe we no longer need protec- The intelligent voters of the United States are not likely to be deceived by the new arguments of the foes of protection. It is but a short time ago since recovered from the effects of that disastrous experi- ment. Under our present tariff we have revived in- dustry and have so developed our factories that we are supplying manufactured goods for all parts of the world. From our Eastern States there have been furnished electrical engines for London, locomotives for railroads in India and in Great Britain itself, and iron bridges for the Soudan. Those shipments from our old manufacturing centers were cheering enough, but now California begins to share in the prosperity, and in addition to building ships for Japan we are supplying engines and cars for Siberia. The shipment from San Leandro will serve as the for California machinery, and as a consequence there | Assessor sets about raising the assessments are likely to be further orders not only for traction B 0000000000000 0000000009000000000003 0000000 THE LION AND THE BEAR. engines and cars, but for other iron and steel ma- chines and implements of all kinds that our shops can furnish. At the present time the condition of the commercial routes of the world is adverse to our trade in that direction, for while it is hardly more than 5000 miles in a straight line from California to the-Siberian district where the engines are to be used, they will have to traverse more than 20,000 miles to reach their destination. They go from San Leandro to New York td be shipped from that port instead of from San Francisco. With the completion of the eastern end of the Siberian railroad, however, the situation will be changed. Then California will have advantage over the East in the Siberian mar- kets, and instead of San Leandro goods being shipped from New York, the products of the Eastern manu- facturing districts will be shipped from San Fran- €isco. In the meantime the incident serves to show the vast benefits which have accrued to the industries of the country from the election of President McKinley and the establishment of prosperity upon the firm basis of protection and sound money. The tunes to which Republican campaign songs will be set this fall will be gathered from the whirring of spindles and the sonorous music of forges and looms. We have assured our own markets with the best manufac- tured goods in-the world, and now we go forth to fur- nish the machinery that is to help civilization for- ward in all parts of the globe, front the deserts of the Soudan to the frozen fields of Siberia. Auditor Wells seems to be suffering from the delu~ sions of a day dream. He says that by advertising for bids he will be able to secure the benefits of compe- tition in the local telephone service. Perhaps he thinks the monopoly will bid against itself. A TAX-SHIRKING CORPORATION. SSESSOR DODGE is seeking a means of so fl increasing the assessment of property in the city that the administration can raise a rev- enue sufficient to meet the expenses of municipal government under the new charter without imposing a tax levy much in excess of the dollar limit. To that end he has under consideration a project of adding $100,000,000 to the assessed valuation of last year. It will therefore be worth his while to take notice of the extent to which Wells-Fargo Company has shirked taxes in the past, is shirking them now, and will shirk them in the future if it can. Wells-Fargo Express Company is capitalized at $8,500,000, and the stock sells from $120 to $122 a share. The company probably pays taxes in other localities upon some portion of its capital, but it is safe to say it does not pay much. The Assessor has the right to require the corporation to show where it pays taxes and to what amounts, and it is his duty to exercise that right. When the amount of such out- side taxation has been discovered it should be de- ducted from the total capitalization of the corporation, and upon all the remainder taxes should be levied in San Francisco. For example, if it be found that Wells-Fargo pay taxes in other places upon prop- erty up to a valuation of $2,000,000, that sum should be deducted from the total capital of $8,500,000, and it should be assessed for taxes here at $6,500,000. The extent to which Wells-Fargo Company prac- tices tax shirking constitutes a grave scandal. It has for two years shirked the Federal war revenue tax, and for more yearsjthan that has shirked State and county taxes. Witl the Federal tax Assessor Dodge | has nothing to do, but it is a matter of official con- cern to him that the shirking of local taxes be no longer tolerated. There is a deficiency in the treas- ury, and it is imperative the municipal revenues of the coming year be larger than those which have left us without street lights after midnight. Before the upon property already sufficiently taxed, however, let him give heed to the tax-shirking corporations and study the case of the Wells-Fargo Express Company. So rapid has been the increase of girls at Wesleyan University that the trustees have decided to limit the number who will be admitted, just as has been done at Stanford. The effect of the rule will not be to deprive women of higher education, but merely to compel them to seek it in other universities, and perhaps' in the end the institutions which have shut them out will sink to a second rate importance when compared with those that give women a fair and equal showing. New York is passing through a cleansing process that is both like and unlike our own. The New York authorities are trying to blot out the germs of moral disease, while we are chasing imaginary germs in Chinatown. The public have a reasonably well founded conviction that a process similar to that em- ployed in New York might be beneficial here. * The Tacoma fusionists are fearful that the pro- grammed speech of William Jennings Bryan will be followed by an overwhelming Republican vietory. The fusionists should not harass themselves. Bryan has met that sequence of events so often that he is accustomed to it and rather likes it. An old man was snatched the other day from under the very wheels of a Southern Pacific train as it dashed through the Mission. It might not be a bad idea for the citizens to establish a mounted patrol to guard the tracks until the Supervisors, remove the death-giver from the district. > The Mexican authorities are engaged in a labor of love that will not meet with favor from sonfe of the public officials who have been fingering public money too carelessly. Mexico has undertaken to punish fugitive American thieves by throwing them into Mexican prisons. —_— The magnificegt nonsense of the Peace Conference of The Hague can very clearly be seen now when the European powers announce in timidity that under no condition can they tolerate a thought of intervention or interference in a bloody affair that concerns Eng- land alone. Sir Thomas Lipton wants to bring over at least two boats next year to compete for the America’s cup. One would think that, judging from his last sad ex- perience in watching the heels of the Columbia, he would need a fleet of yachts to have even a show. The Supervisors are discussing the e;:pedieHCy of taxing men who carry concealed weapons. There may be no necessary connectioh between this and shutting off the street lights-at night, but it looks sus- picious. % Congressman Sulzer of New York has at last posed himself before the public in a guise which appears to suit him best. He has made himself the tail for the Esquimalt freak kite of the yellow kid.

I have been reading much about the war between the “English and the Dutch” In South Africa, but lately I have come across a new phase of the conflict. T see by late reports in the daily papers that the Irish Transvaal Brigade in the first engagement at Dundee captured—or “bagged,” to use their own words—several hundred of the Royal Irish Fusillers. Now, sir, the last event has interested me 8o that I have writien a poem on the sub- ject, “a poor 1hing, 'tis true, but mine own,” as the bard of Avon says. It might be called “How the Irish Fight For the Queen,” but I have christened it THE BATTLE OF DUNDEE; Or, How President Kruger’s Irish Took In Her Majesty’s Hibernians. Rev. I. Dempsey. (With apologies to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Knights of St. Patrick, the Clan-na-Gael, the Fenians and other fighters.) On the mountain’s side the battle raged, sign Michael Shea. Fitzgerald got Fitzpatrick, Brannigan found O’Rourke; Finnigan took a man named Lynch and a couple of lads from Cork. Sudden they heard Martin cry, “Hands up or I'll run you through!" He thought he had a Yorkshire boy—'twas Corporal Donoghue. McGuri took O’Leary, O’'Connell tcok McNamee— That's how the “English fought the Dutch” at the battle of Dundee. Then some one brought in Casey; O'Con- nor took O'Neill; < Riley captured Cavanaugh while trylng to make a_steal. Hogan caught McFadden, Corrigan found McBride, . And Brennan made a handsome touch when Kelly tried to_slide. Dacey took a lad named Walsh; Dooley got McGuirk; Gilligan turned in Fahey's boy—for his father he used to work. They had marched to fight the English— but Irish were all they could see— That's how the ‘“English fought the Dutch” at the battle of Dundee. Spillane then took O'Madigan; Shanahan took ) Magee; ‘While chasing Jerry Donovan, Clancy got shot in the knee. He cursed the Queen’s whole army, he cursed the English race, Then found the man who fired the shot— *twas a cousin, Martin Grace. Then Maginnis caught an A. O.
