The most that can be said for it is that when it was adopted it was not foreseen that the campaign would turn upon the money guestion. The tariff was the expected issue. The melancholy results attributed to the Wilson tariff had patched the trousers ef the country, on seat and knee. The seat was worn out by sitting in idleness and the knee in praying for work, wages and better times. Therefore it was in- tended to attack the Cleveland administration on tariff lines and treat the money question as a side issue which could be safely temporized with. There are mysteries in the impression upon poli- tics of the minds of men who are apparently non- participants in political effort. It is apparent now that a powerful portion of the people, powerful in in tellect and knowledge though not in numbers, be- lieved that the industrial disorders of the country were of financial and not fiscal origin, that they were caused by the condition of our basis financial legis- lation and not by changes in our revenue laws. This powerful intellectual impression existed in both par- There were clear thinkers in each in this State THE BIMETALLIC PLANK. N a controversy cver the authorship of the bi- ties. and everywhere who held that opinion in common, though they had never been together to discuss it, and they acted as one, without organization. Their position was suddenly strengthened after the Chicago convention nominated Bryan and denounced the Cleveiand administratien for impoverishing the coun- try by its financial policy. The uation was more- than singular. The cam- paign turned on the money question, and the Repub- licans found themselves defending the financial measures of Mr. Cleveland, while if they attacked his tariff views the Democrats were compelled t6 defend him in that particular. In the midst of such hopeless confusion of issues the compact body of financial doctrinaires kept the money question above the flood and led the public sentiment of the country. This they did by practically leaving the bimetallic plank in the Republican platform undefended, for the ex- cellent reason that it was incapable of defense. Had money been a side issue that plank was well enough for use as a double-ender. The party could have been declared to be in favor of sound money as a domestic proposition, but ready to dilute the stan- dard whenever the country could find foreign part- ners in financial folly. But when finance became the sole issue the small but powerful guild of doc- trinaires could not be trifled with, and when Mr. Bryan went forth declaring that the Lodge plank meant that bimetallism was a good thing and neces- sary but we must deny it to ourselves unless Europe permitted us to enjoy it he made the only point in all the ocean of words that he uttered. No Republican ever answered him or defended the plank he attacked. The financial doctrinaires who fortunately dominated the campaign fearlessly denied ‘the assumption of the Lodge plank. They denied that bimetallism was desirable, with the consent of FEurope or without it. They denied that the nations combined could create value by legislation. They compelled Republican abandonment of the plank and a complete commitment to the single gold standard. As far as we know Mr. Lodge himseli never offered a word in defense of the proposition. It was con- sidered expedient though unprincipled when adopted by the convention, and when the high action of the campaign came on it was considered both unprin- cipled and inexpedient. Tt held no votes to the party, and if defended would have repelled many. For- tunately for the party the doctrinaires won, and when all that they stood for is crystallized into legislation our financial system will not soon be successfully at- tacked. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. ANADA has been experimenting with the ' public ownetship and operation of railroads on a small scale. The Dominion Minister of Railways has been able to show a surplus every year from their operation, bt at the recent session of Par- liament it was shown that under his administration the railroad debt has increased $13,000,000! It is the same story that has been told of public ownership of public utilities everywhere. The Cana- dian Minister had charged the cost of maintenance and renewal to capital instead of income, and was thereby able to show a surplus of earnings over the cost of operation. . This trick of bookkeeping by which to conceal the fact that the waste of public ownership equals the profits of corporate administration has been found in operation whereyer public ownership is on trial. It is for this reason that we have been inclined to great caution and to resist a plunge into public ownership on the assumption that its success is demonstrated by the experiments already made. Two remarkable results have followed investigation of the subject. The first is the discovery by experts employed by commercial bodies in New York and Chicago that it is impossible from the books kept by the city to ascertain the cost of watex:, and the second is the stubborn resistance of city officials and politi- cians to the institution of a system of bookkeeping by which the cost can be known. The Illinois Legis- lature at its last session passed a law to reform pub- lic accounting, but it was vetoed at the solicitation of municipal politicians. The statement is made that the same vices of account- ing prevail in European cities where municipal pater- nalism is in vogue. There is no sorcery in public ownership that exempts the plant of a public utility from depreciation and the necessity of renewal, yet it is a common thing in American cities to omit fe- newal altogether, or, if made, to charge it to another fund, in order to show a profit upon public opera- tion. The municipal lighting plant of Alleghany City has been pointed to as a model example of the great possibilities of municipal paternalism in the way of making a profit out of public ownership. But an examination of that plant turns the surplus into a deficit because the item “depreciation of plant” had been ignored or charged off to a general fund. The public authorities of Taunton, Mass., brazened it out by omitting repairs and betterments on the mu- nicipal electric light plant, until at last the foreman employed to manage it reports the plant worn out, the buildings in danger of falling down, the power insufficient and the machinery obsoleted by modern appliances. Yet that plant has figured among those operated at a profit. There is a crying need for legislation that will com- pel public and corporate, or business, bookkeeping to be identical. All who know anything about cor- porate accounting know the necessity for the great exactness of it. If the accounts of any great cor- poration were kept like those of any large city in the country the stockholders would have cause of crimi- nal action against the directors, of which existing law would take cognizance. This is a startling fact, that acts criminal in the individual or the corporation are the settled rule of conduct in municipal adminis- tration. So far every effort to reform municipal methods has been a failure. That which the criminal law would do promptly for a corporation is left undone in the case of a city. This condition reveals the preparation that must be made before entering upon municipal ownership if it is to be adopted as a policy beneficial to the public. The politician and demagogue scout the idea that anything is necessary except to acquire and operate. Putting aside the conclusions of all stu- deuts of the science of government, they assume for it an inherent virtue which in the nature of things is impossible. If a corporate water supply is bad, they foretell its purification by the simple process of changing to municipal ownership. If street cars are not on time, they will be prompt under municipal paternalism. And so on to the end of the chapter. At the same time thc demagogues who are out of office charge up to the demagogues in office the filthy gutters, the unclean streets, the choked sewers, the rotten schoolhouses, the swindling contracts, the in- efficient police and all the other failures of municipal government, including its perennial waste and dis- honesty. But the ins and the outs both join in shout- ing for a policy which &ill bring about municipal paternalism over public utilities and give government more duties to neglect and public officers more chances to steal e e If King Edward is to give James J. Van Alen the cross of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in recog- nition of Van Alen’s gift of $25.000 to equip a field hospital in South Africa, how many crosses could Pierpont Morgan get if he felt like cornering the market? went into effect on July 1 it was expected by N V the treasury officials that there would be an immediate decline in the income derived from them. There was therefore a good deal of surprise in the de- partment when the receipts for the first ten days of July amounted to $10,084,495, as compared with re- ceipts of only $8,681,381 for the corresponding period last year. An inquiry into the cause of the unexpected in- crease disclosed the fact that a large number of manu- facturers of beer, tobacco, cigarettes, etc., had been holding off from buying stamps until the reductions went into effect and then purchased large quantities. It is said the demand for the new stamps is so large that the stamp division of the internal revenue de- partment has been working overtime in order to sup- ply the new stamps and to take care of the old ones. During the week preceding July 1 the shipments of new stamps aggregated in value more than $20,b00,- 000 and weighed about fifteen tons. Despite the increased income the accounts of the treasury for the first ten days of the fiscal year show the usual deficit of the season. It amounted this year to $4,583,815, while last year it was for the corre- sponding period $4,523,287. In spite of the deficit at the beginning of the last fiscal year the Government closed the year as a whole with about $75,000,000 to the good, and it is expected there will be another favorable showing this year. In fact, the treasury officials are reported as saying the returns for the first ten days afford little indication of what the results of the new revenue law will be. The items given of Government expenditure show that while the war tax has been reduced the expen- ditures for war go on. Thus it is stated that for the first ten days of this fiscal year the war item amounts NATIONAL REVENUES. HEN the reductions in the war revenue tax to $6,450,000. Next come the pensions, with $5,810,- 000. The civil and miscellangous budget ranks third, 1 being $5,670,000. The navy cost $1,870,000. Interest was $1,700,000, and Indians got $250,000. The total expenditures were $21,750,000. It is a striking illustration of the vast wealth of this country that the Government can carry on that amount of expenditure without imposing taxes that are felt as burdens to the people. Still it is not pleas- ant to note that our war expenditures in these times of peace exceed $640,c00 a day. It is now conceded that we obtained little glory out of our war with Spain, and it begins to be doubtful whether we are to get much more in the way of profit from it. Not a single case of yellow fever appeared in Ha- vana in the month of June, and it is said to have been the first time there has been such a clean bill of health for more than a hundred years. Clearly, therefore, we have given the Cubans something much better than the Platt amendment. ELECTIONS OF THE YEAR. POLITICALLY speaking_this is to be a year of municipal elections. Such State elections as are to take place are of comparatively little in- terest because the results are not at all doubtful. No one questions how the majority will vote in Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia. Four of the five are so strongly Republican that the Democrats have no chance, while in V rginia the Re- publicans will hardly go through the form of making a campaign. It is possible something in the way of national in- terest may be aroused in the Ohio campaign by rea- son of the new departure the Democrats have made in cutting away from Bryanism. The experiment is certainly worth watching, for the vote will show whether or no the new departure is sufficiently suc- cessful to make it worth while for Demacrats of other States to take it up next year. The change of front made on the eve of battle is a remarkable one. Two years ago, when McLean was nominated for Governor, the Ohio Democrats declared: “We continue to demand the free and un- limited coinage of silver and gold as equal and pri- mary money at the ratio of 16 to 1, independent of all other nations in the world. The Hon. William J. Bryan still retains our entire confidence, and we demand his renomination in 1900.” Mr. Bryan was renominated in 1900 and the result was so disastrous to his followers that they have no longer any con- fidence in him or his platform. This year they are to make the fight without him. It is a complete re- versal of position. The general has been sent to the rear and the rear guard is given the front place. What will be accomplished by such tactics remains to be seen, and that alone gives interest to a campaign whose results in other respects are in the nature of foregone conclusions. In the field of municipal politics in the larger cities the situation is much more interesting. In the spring contests the Democrats were successful in St. Louis, Chicago and Cleveland, and consequently they have high hopes of carrying the elections in other cities. The chief fight is to be in New York, where various elements have combired to defeat Tammany. The combination thus far is but a loose one, and may not be able to hold together when the strain of the contest comes, but still the outlook is very promis- ing. Some of the ablest and most influential Demo- crats of the city have pledged their support to the movement, and it seems therefore that Tammany will not be able to poll the full party vote in opposition m:xhe supporters of a ticket pledged to reform and an_honest municipal administration.\% Tt was noted in Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland that the Democratic successes were due solely to divi- sions caused in the Republican ranks by the revolt of the better elements of the party against corrupt bosses who had obtained control of the party ma- chinery. The moral of that lesson has been thor- oughly learned in other cities. It is safe to say that in the municipal elections of the fall there will be no such thing as a boss ticket nominated by a Repub- lican convention in any city of importance from New York to San Francisco. s The Chinese have learned something from the size of the indemnities demanded by the various Euro- pean Governments, for Minister Wu has just pre- sented to our Government a claim for $500,000 on account of outrages committed upon Chinese in Mon- tana. F!he State Board of Pharmacy it appears that graduates of the California College of Pharmacy who received their diplomas at the close of the term just past will not have to pass an examination before the Board of Pharmacy provided they file applica- tions before August 1. After that date examinations will be required. The statement of the president is different from that originally given out by the secretary of the board, who in an interview. with a representative of The Call, published on Wednesday, said: “It is a fact that all graduates in pharmacy of whatever school must take an examination before the State board before they will be registered as licentiates,” and when he was asked if that included graduates of the Cali- fornia College of Pharmacy he replied, “Yes; grad- uates of every college.” . President Searby’s statement was to the effect that at the June meeting of the board it was decided to extend the time for filing applications upon creden- tials until August 1 for the express purpose of giv- ing the new graduates of the College of Pharmacy an opportunity to register without having to wun- dergo examination. He added, “We did this so there would be no discrimination.” To admit the graduates of one year without exami- nation, while requiring examination of all future graduates, will seem to the latter and to the public to be discrimination of a marked character. How- ever, the admission of the present graduates on their diplomas is so much accomplished for justice. Per- haps others will obtain an equal justice later on. In the meantime it is gratifying to note that the con- stitutionality of the law under which the board is operating is to be tested in the courts. As has been pointed out in The Call, there are many objectionable features in the manner in which it is now being oper- ated, and an investigation in open court may lead to their elimination THE PHARMACY LAW. ROM statements made by President Searby of The recent British census shows that there are in the United Kingdom only 8 men for every 100 women, and consequently the old saying, “Every Jack has his Jill” won’t work both ways. The Brit- ish young woman will have to learn how to emigrate. A Kansas girl eloped the other day and stole $r200 of her mother’s money. Then footpads took it away from her, and now she has probably some very serious notions of at least the advantages of honesty. JULY 19, 1901. CALIFORNIA POSSESSES A SPHINX OF HE R OWN IMPOSING ROCK THAT HAS BEEN RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE, BEARING UPON IT A REMARK- ABLY PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF A ,HUMAN HEAD. 5 NE of the greatest freaks of nature has recently been discovered close to the immense tunnel that is nearing completion on the line of the Southern Pacific running along the boundary line of Los Angeles and Ventura coun- g ties. Some workmen employed by the company discovered an immense rock that is a perfect.image of a man’s head. A photograph was taken of this freak of nature by one of the workmen who had a camera in his possession and it was sent %6 Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacific. A reproduction of the picture ac- companies this article. The photograph has beenshown to numbers of scientists and globe-trotters, and they all claim that there is no other rock in existence that is such a perfect rep- resentation of a man’s head. The rock will no doubt be looked upon in the future ‘as one of the points of interest in California. Americans can now proudly claim that California has a sphinx that is just as imposing as that of far away Egypt, and that the sphinx of California took a long time to be discovered, but that it is older than the Egyptian sphinx and was not made by man. The rock is on Chatsworth Park rancho, the propert.y of Mrs. Johnson. @ FF it e PERSONAL MENTION.

SIGHING—A. O. 8., Oakland, Cal. sigh, about which a great deal of senti- mental stuff has been written, is, when viewed in an unsentimental light, a deep, long drawn, audible respiration. Dr. Car- penter says that sighing is nothing more than a very long drawn inspiration in which a larger quantity of air than usual occurs particularly when thé attention is released after having been fixed on an ohject which has strongly excited it and thus has prevented the person from feel- ing the insufficlency of the ordinary movements of respiration.

On the whole, however, publishers and booksellers say they cannot complain much, taking into consideration the period of the year. Fiction has fluctuated somewhat. The output of six shilling novels has been more limited, but the demand for already popu- lar works has at times been very brisk. Miss Louise Imogen Guiney, the poet and essaylst of Boston, Mass., Is now re- siding at Oxford, where she is very busily engaged In research at the Bodlelan Library for the benefit of her very elabor- ate edition of Vaughan's poems. Miss Bessie Bedford, the novelist, who wrote the “Harp of Life” under the pen name of “Elizabeth Godfrey” and who lives at Southbourne, a suburb of Bourne- mouth, has been condemned by a jury to pay & sum of forty shillings as compen- sation to “Dan” Godfrey Jr., the con- ductor of the municipal band and director of the winter gardens at Bournemouth. The Injury alleged by Godfrey was that he has been made the principal character of the novel and that there are passages in it calculated to do harm to his prof stonal reputation. Evidently the jury a not assess the damages very highly. Miss Bedford may even find some set- off in the enhanced reputation the story has obtained, but the moral shows the danger of taking a living person as a model for a character of a novel. Every jury might rot be so gently disposed. It will interest readers on both sides of the Atlantic to know that Austin Brere- ton, at one time the dramatic critic of the Tilustrated American, has been appointed dramatic critic of the Sphere. Brereton contributes an agreeable letter, in which he refers to a subject which has often been one of controversy—namely, do novels as a rule make good plays? Brereton says the recent production by Annle Hughes of a dramatic version of “Vanity Fair” and the coming presenta- tion of another adaptation of the same novel with Miss Marie Tempest has given rise again to the statement that popular novels do not make good plays. This may be so in a speclal sense, but they often lead to a huge popular personal success. Brereton, who in such matters is a living index, calls to mind the remarkable in- stance of Miss Jennie Lee as Joe in the dramatization of “Bleak House.” Tt is a quarter of a century since Miss Lee made her first appearance in London as the poor waif and she is still acting it. Micawber has brought fame and fortune to the stage. J. L.
