UR returning volunteers who after long ser- O vice in the Philippines have been paid off at the Presidio and zre now making their way back to their homes and to civil life have shown in this city soldierly qualities and a self-respecting manhood not less honorable than any called for while with the flag at the front. These thousands of young men, freed from the discipline of the army, turned loose in a large city far from the homes of many of them, and with their pockets full of money, have conducted themselves with a degree of decorum that has won for them the praise of every one whose praise is worth having. Their conduct has not been that of 2 mere ordinary absence of turbulence or lawlessness. It has been so exemplary as to have attracted attention and won gen- eral commendation. When it was known that thou- sands of soldiers were to be paid off it was expected that the streets in the neighborhood of the tenderloin would be crowded at night by soldiers in warious stages of intoxication, that the late street cars would be thronged with them, and that their disorderly con- duct would be a nuisance and annoyance. Had such things occurred they would have been forgiven on the old pleas of youth, of liberty and of the natural ex- wberance of men just returned to their native land after vears of absence. However, nothing of the kind has taken place. The men in uniform have been everywhere visible upon the streets, but they have shown themselves as quiet, as courteous and as or- derly as it the restraints of military discipline were still upon them. In a particular measure the colored volunteers have commanded respect 2nd admiration. That may have | been due to the fact that the public did not expect so | much from them as from the white troops; but, what- ever may have been the cause, tire men of the colored regiments have been especially noted for meritorious behavior. Their politeness and courtesy shown to Jadies in the cars and elsewhere and their general good conduct have attested not only their respect for the rights of others, but the high standards of con- duct they have adopted for themselves. A great deal of this well ordered conduct on the part of white and black alike is doubtless due to the thoroughness of the military training they have re- ceived in the army. They went away from their homes as young recruits, but they return seasoned and disciplined soldiers. They carry with them back to civil life a sense of the responsibilities they ac- quired in the army. They have learned to withstand temptation, to believe that order is better than dis- order, and to take pride in conducting themselves 4n such a way as to command respect. Wheh, how- ever, all that has been done by discipline is conceded, there remains much in the conduct of these thou- sands of young men that must be due to the posses- sion of a native good sense and an inherent self- respect. They do not intend to discredit an honor- able career in the ranks by a week or more of dissi- pation. thonors and to carry them undiminished to their homes, where they will be received as men of whom the whole community is proud. e —— An English editor says that the British merchant is the easiest man on earth to swindle. This gives us no particular reason, however, to cease watching our innocent British competitors. 1t is conceded that the British are doing in South Africa just about what Weyler did in Cuba, but as the affair is not within our sphere of influence we have no kick to make. They intend to save their money and their | LOCAL OPTION TAXéTION. COLORADO has before it a constitutional amendment providing for local option taxa- tion. This amendment was urged especially by the single taxers, but was backed by the large cap- italized interests of the State. In its practical operation local option taxation will develop difficulties that must be, as far as possible, foreseen and provided for. Every State has a system of equalization of assessments. The local Assessor makes the assessmen:, but the valuation fixed by him must pay the State tax as well as the local tax, and so there is an effort made to equalize the assessment that one county may not pay an undue share of the State tax. 3 Mr. Purdy, secretary of the Tax Reform Associa- tion, tells of an instance in New York in which the Assessors used some local option. The town of Vol- ney had three Assesscrs, and they divided the work so that ore assessed the property in the large village of Fulton, and the others took the town outside. These increased the assessment outside from its for- mer figure of $25,000 to over $400,000, most of the in- crease being on the cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and implements of the farmers. The Assessor of the vil- lage made no raise on personal property. When the Board of Supervisors of the county met as a Board of Equalization it found that no other town had fol- lowed the example of this one, and that it had no authority to equalize personal assessments, so that town had to bear its burden of increase in county and State tax; but the Assessors learned something, for the next year the assessment fell back to $25,000. Local option in taxation will finally disappear in practice. That is to say, the fact of county and State tax being paid on the local assessment will finally compel the same system throughout the whole State. The New York Chamber of Commerce has rec- ommended a plan that has the merit of simplicity for raising State taxes. The amount to be raised for State purposes is levied on the counties in proportion to the amount they raise for local purposes. This does away with State equalization entirely and tends to economy in local taxation. If a county be extrava- gant and raise a large revenue for lavish expenditure, it must pay State taxes in proportion to its own income. In fact, it is-a sort of income tax. Mr. Purdy is evidently a single taxer, for in advo- cating local option he advises the total exemption of moneys, credits and personalty. He uses Carnegie’s | case as an illustration. He says: “Mr. Carnegie holds three hundred millions in bonds. In the present state of our New York law, if he retain his residence in the city of New York, he will be liable to pay a tax of seven and a half million dollars a year. In Pitts- burg he would pay one million two hundred thousand. In Connecticut it would cost him the same. In De- troit it would cost him two millions. But he can have his legal residence in Idaho, the only State in the | Union that has the sense not to tax credits at all, |and pay not one dollar of tax on his evidences of | debt.” | Now while an argument may be made for exemp- | tion of the personalty of a manufacturing establish- ment as a bounty to secure its location, it will be ,‘ somewhat difficult to convince realty owners that they } must pay all the taxes, and that Mr. Carnegie should | pay none. He, no doubt, like his brother millionaire, "Mayor Johnson of Cleveland, would see much merit | in such exemption, but the costliest functions of gov- crnment are those that protect personal property. A large percentage of all city taxation is to maintain Police and Fire departments to protect personal prop- | erty against thieves and fire. But realty can be | neither burned nor stolen. Of course it is said that, as personal must always | pay tribute to real property, the latter will get its |return in the increase of such tribute with the in- | crease of untaxed personalty. But, as personalty is | not likely to increase beyond the use that it has, and | as under the present system there appears to be per- | sonalty enough to go round and serve the purposes | of society, we are inclined to doubt that any increase | will recoup the realty owner. e e Herbert Spencer has shaken off the feebleness of old age long enough to write a letter protesting | against the war in South Africa and saying: “What- | ever fosters militarism makes for barbarism; what- | ever fosters peace makes for civilization.” The truth ! of his words is demonstrated by what is going on in | the Transvaal, but they are little likely to be heeded. S come altogether too severe to be treated as a ‘\ jest by even the most incorrigible jokers. It has gone beyond the point where it could be met by sighing for a lodge in a garden of icebergs. ‘- Day | after day the reports bring stories of men, women | and children killed or prostrated in such numbers as |to prove that the heated spell has attained the evil | rank of an actual calamity. When on a single day |and in a single city there occur fifty-eight fatal sun- | strokes and eighty-seven cases of prostration on the | streets, it is evident that a condition prevails which is | almost as destructive as plague or war. It appears that in the crowded districts of the large | cities on the Atlantic seaboard and in the Mississippi | Valley the unfortunate people are sweltering in some- thing like a furnace that does not cool off even at |night. From their crowded tenements they pour | forth to the parks, but find little relief even there. | Thus the New York dispatches announce that all the ;grass plats in Bryant Park and Battery Park are used | as beds, that an army of men have been sleeping on the sands at Coney Island, and on Monday the re- |port says: “More than 100 men appeared at the | Manhattan end of the bridge carrying blankets and | pillows, and by midnight at least 15,000 persons were !asleep on the beach and hundreds more were coming.” Of course weather of that kind is of exceptional severity, but every summer finds the Eastern people | sweltering with heat and well nigh incapacitated for |hard work. While the Californian can work with | vigor at all seasons of the year the Easterner is com- | pelled both in midsummer and in midwinter to relax | his efforts. It is possible that from that enforced rest he derives something of benefit, but subjection to such humid heat as that which for several days has been inflicted upon the East can hardly be perma- | nently beneficial even in an indirect way. The Cali- | fornian going about his work or his summer pleasures with full vigor of body and mind is sure to be much better off in every respect than the panting dweller in the fields or in the cities where men fall prostrate and horses drop dead from the slightest exertion. Among the industrial effects of the heat have been the closing of most of the big mills in Pittsburg and elsewhere. It is reported from Philadelphia that in Monday forenoon the number of prostrations at Cramp’s shipyard was so large that at noon work was stopped and all the men employed were relieved from “duty. Such climatic conditions are bound to handicap the East in competition with California should this State ever have sufficient fuel and manufacturing equip- THE EASTERN SUMMER. UMMER in the Eastern States this year has be- ments to make her competition formidable. It is cer- tain that if other things were equal men working the year round in this climate and getting good, healthful sleep every night could easily surpass those who for two or three months of summer can hardly work by day or sleep by night on account of the heat. There is another important factor in the problem. All students of crime and insanity have noted that offenses against person, insanity and suicide increase in frequency as summer approaches and diminish toward winter. The severe heat of the Eastern sum- mer affects the nervous organization of men and ren- ders them more liable to all kinds of abnormal out- breaks. Californians are much given to bragging of their climate, but they have never overrated its value. For pleasure, for work, for health or for sanity there is no climate comparable all the 'year round to ours, and we have good reason to be grateful for it. Senator Hoar says it would be a “most delightful obliged to attend the sessions of the Senate.” The phrase sounds witty, but after all any office would be out having to spend any time at the office. A NEW SECTIONALISM. O making the South once more an issue in na- tional politics, and it is probable that under fall will be largely directed to that end. The issue is that raised by the Southern States in virtually dis- publicans that the representation of the South in Con- gress be proportionately diminished. the convention declared: “This is no time to show indifference to the wrong the Democratic party is black man, whom it ic robbing of his suffrage under the forms of constitutional amendments and legal en- the United States. This is worse, if possible, than the inhuman lynchings of which we read almost daily, both at a class and the government of a nation. Con- stituted acthority must find a way to suppress these support of a race that has shed its blood for our flag in every war and upon almost every field where it has Following the lead thus given the convention adopted in its platform a plank which after reciting says: “We therefore call upon our Senators and Rep- resentatives in Congress for such legislation as shall ures guaranteeing to every citizen the right of fran- chise, without distinction as to race, color or previous sentation in Congress and in the Electoral College shall be based on the actual voting population ‘as pro- being made for any State in which the right of suf- frage is denied except for crime.” lieve the sober judgment of the Republican party will not sustain it. We have had sectional questions in strife and wars and still further strife. There must be an end to that sort of thing at some time, for we This is as good a time to end it as there will ever be. The South has felt a new impulse of loyalty re- longer any suspicion in the North of the existence of a disunion sentiment among the Southern people. ample employment, and his children are provided with schools and colleges. Moreover, there is among age which promises to bring about the existence of two parties there. That will mean the breaking down in the South of a party that will be as progressive in politics as in business. another sectional issue. The constitutionality of the Southern suffrage acts can be safely left to the Su- isms between North and South. The Ohio Republi- cans should remember Grant’s platform, “Let us have thing to be a United States Senator if one were not nice if one could have the salary and the honor with- HIO Republicans have taken a step toward the lead of Senator Foraker the State campaign this franchising the negro, and the demand of Ohio Re- Senator Foraker in his address at the opening of committing to-day in the Southern States against the actments that are in violation of the constitution of because it is without provocation, and is a blow aimed wrongs, or the Government will deserve to lose the waved.” the disfranchisement of the negroes in several States secure the strict enforcement of constitutional meas- condition of servitude.

They are never quite safe over there. BEFORE LEAVING' TOWN. MONG the people who will leave the city about A this time for their summer holidays there are doubtless a good many who have not regis- tered, but who intend to register when they return. It would be well for all such citizens to change their plans a little and register before they go. At the present time business is dull and there is no rush at the registration office. It can hardly be a mat- ter of difficulty for any citizen to find time to have his name registered so as to make sure of his right to vote at the approaching primaries, but what can be done so easily now may be troublesome later on. ‘When the citizen returns from his holiday he will find a good deal of back work claiming his attention, and when once absorbed in it he may forget all about his political duties until too late. The safe way, then, is for every citizen to register at once. The issue is one of great importance to every citi- zen, no matter to what political party he belongs. It has been pointed otit again and again by the ablest students of our political system that the defectiveness and frequent corruption in American municipalities have been due mainly to the fact that so large a pro- portion of the business men of the community neg- lect their political duties. In times past that neglect in San Francisco has been because of the boss domi- nation of the primaries, but now we have a primary election law which gives every citizen an opportunity to have a voice in the control of his party. No ex- cuse remains, therefore, for any neglect of political duty. There should be a full vote of the strength of each of the two great parties at the primaries, and in order that $uch vote may be given there must be a careful attention to registration. It is certain the bosses of each party will have their gangs registered and that they will make a fight to carry the primaries under the new law. Good citizens must be vigilant and resolute in opposing them. Those, therefore, who propose to leave town should register before they go, in order to make sure of their right to vote when the election takes place, e e mr—— Shamrock IT since her accident has been reformed and converted, and now the question is whether she has not becotge too proper to take part in a race. S was announced in The Call's ° Washington dispatch at the time. Secretary Long on June 24 adopted designs for the two medals author- ized by Congress to commemorate the achievements of the navy in the Span- ish-American war. One is to be known as the “battle medal,” and is intended for all the men who participated in the West Indian campaign. The other is the merit medal, intended for such men as Hobson of Merrimac fame; Lieutenant Ward, who went to Spain and obtained valuable in- formation about the enemy’s navy; Victor Blue, Buck and others. The battle medal bears on the obverse side the profile likeness of Rear Admiral Sampson, with the inscription, “United States Naval Campaign in the West In- dies, 1898—Willlam Thomas Sampson, Commander in Chief.” On the reverse side is a scene on the deck of a warship in action, the central figure of which is “the man behind the gun.” This is in- tended to recognize the services of the junior commissioned officers and the Jackies. It was Secretary Long’s idea to have the man behind the gun a distinctive feature of the battle scene. This scene shows a typical American bluejacket stripped to the waist sighting a rapld-fire gun. Be- hind bim is a young officer pointing to the target to be struck, while behind the offi- cer is a marine with a belt full of car- tridges about lis waist and a gun in his hand, awaiting his time to go into action. In the background is the dim outline of a battleship. On the whole a spirited scene of the gun deck of a warship is portrayed. The Naval Board of Awards, which rec- ommended the designs to the Secretary, sought to dodge the Sampson-Schley con- troversy without sacrificing glory for Sampson by stating in its report to the Secretary that Sampson’s likeness was placed on the medal because he was com- mander in chief of the West Indian squadron, just as Dewey’s likeness was placed on the Manila Bay medals, and, further, that these medals are for all the men who engaged in the West Indian campaign, whether at Santiago or else- ‘where.
