Layng—This day, at 11 o'clock, Road Horses, Buggies, etc., at 721 Howard street. E are in receipt of a copy of the evidence | given to the Senatorial commission of in- | THE LATEST PUNDIT. ~ ' quiry into industrial conditions in behalf of California. The pundit who gave the evidence is named Turn- rbull.. Hés testimony shows less knowledge of-the State than may be in po; ion of any well blooded animal enjoying the last syllable of his name. For- tunately it carries its own antidote and can do the | State no harm. Affecting profound knowledge of aur productive conditions, he was asked how wheat is handled here. He answered that it is handled in elevators, the same 2s in the East, and that these were .coaveniently placed alongside railroad tracks 2nd wharves, just as in the- East, and that ships carried grain the same way as in Eastern ports. The fact of course is that not a bushel of grain is handled in bulk here; there are no elevators; grain is sacked in the field, stored in sacks in the ware- house, and loaded in sacks on ships for export. We have seen no comparison between the cost of hand- ling it in sacks and by elevators, but we assume that the sacking method is more costly. In the East wheat gets into a sack at all only to be hauled to the nearest elevator, where it is hindled usually by com- pressed air. It is delivered in bulk from the elevator into cars, and from these is sucked, by an exhaust process, into the holds of ships for export. All of these processes are unused and unknown here, at least by any one except this pundit, who turns his bull's eye upon our grain and ‘sees it flying into and out of elevators “conveniently located.” Surely we must be lenient to the errois siders wiien the State is so ignorantly misrepresented W5 a ‘witness who professes to speak for it semi- “officially. . Ii the Industrial Commission want accu- raté information about California it should call on our Senators and Representatives, who are well equipped with knowledge of our productive condi- tions and industrial processes. ssess: of out- Philadelphia politics this year has developed a funny situation. The most noted leader of the fight against mwmnicipal corruption is John Wanamaker, but Wanamaker's son runs one of the yellowest jour- «mals in the country, and the people are opposed to it. The political bosses have been prompt to tike ad- vantage of the fact, and the voters are now being told that if they vote against the ring their votes will give a boom to yellow journalism. e Tammany’s candidate for Mayor, Edward Shepard, i said to be such a very good man that the reform clements are wondering how he ever could have been induced to accept the nomination. It is probable, however, that as the campaign goes on it will be found that he is not such a good man as he appeared before he got into the light of publicity. The Wisconsin man who proposes to.furnish the prairie States with new motive power by utilizing cyclones to generate force in storage batteries has overlooked the obvious danger that the cyclone might take the battery along with it. Since the Agricultural Department has proven that vegetables can be profitably cultivated along the ANTI-ANARCHIST LAWS. HE first passion of the country has subsided, Tand the propositions for treating anarchy that were made when the President was struck down are now being subjected to deliberate analysis. In this calmer temper there is no doubt that some laws on the subject will be framed and passed by Con- gress. These must naturally relate to a closer exami- nation of immigration. Foreign countries are rather glad to get rid of their violent and disorderly people and to bestow them upon us as a problem. There may well be some dcubt about such Governments giving much assistance in securing the record of known anarchists who desire to migrate to this coun- try. Perhaps it will be found necessary to compel all immigrants to be certificated by the American Consul at the port of departure. That official may be charged to thoroughly examine each applicant for a certificate, taking all the time that is necessary. It may be said that this will work a hardship to the in- tending immigrant, but that is not our affair. Our duty is to spare this country the hardship of receiving the sworn enemies of all law and all government. Such immigration regulation will give us time to look over our home stock of anarchists and deter- mine what to do with them. In that part of the work Congress is checked by constitutional limitations which do not apply to the States. ®Congress may exercise only the powers granted by the constitution, while the States may cxercise all powers rot forbidden to them by the constitution. The States, therefore, may define the limits of free speech and a free press, and may make misdemeanor or felony of acts upon which Congress may not legislate at all. What may be done by the States was outlined in the trial of the Haymarket anarchist assassins in Chi- cago. When their cases were appealed to the Su- preme Court of Illinois Chief Justice Magruder, in passing upon them, said: “If men combine together as conspirators to accomplish an unlawful purpose, as the overthrow of society and government and law, called by them ‘a social revolution,” and seek as a means to an end to print and speak, in order to incite others to tumult and riot and murder, those who ad- vise or instigate the others to violence will be held responsible for the murder that may result from' their aid and encouragement. He who inflames people’s minds and induces them by violent means to accom- plish an illegal object is himself a rioter, though he takes no part in the riot. If he wake into action an indiscriminate power he is responsible. If he give directions, vaguely and incautiously, and the person receiving them act according to what he might have foreseen would be the understanding, he is respon- sible. It can make no difference whether the mind is affected by inflammatory words addressed to the reader through the newspaper organ of a society to | which he belongs, or to the hearers through the spoken words of an orator to whom he looks up as a representative of his own particular class.” In the case of the People against Banks, in Kan- sas, there was involved a statute providing for the punishment of 3 newspaper devoted to the publica- tion of scandals and accounts of lecherous and im- moral conduct. The court said: “We entertain no doubt that the Legislature has power to suppress this class of publication without in any manner vio- lating the liberty of the press.” In the State vs. Merrill the Arkansas Supreme Court-said: ‘““Any citizen has the right to publish the proceedings of a court, and, if he deem it necessary for the public good, to comment on them freely and to discuss the fitness or unfitness of the Judges for | their stations, but he has no right to attempt by defamatory publications to degrade the tribunal, de- stroy public confidence in it, and dispose the com- munity to disregard and set at naught its orders, judgments and decrees. Such publications are an abuse of the liberty of the press, and tend to sap the very foundations of good order and well being in society. The liberty of the press is one thing, and licentious_ scandal is another.” These three decisions considerably illuminate the pathway of State legislation. They do not go to the prohibition of any publication, but to the en- forcement of responsibility for abuse of-the right to publish. They also cast a strong light upon the abuses with which the public has become familiar in the Hearst papers. When they published the hope that the United States Supreme Court Justices “would be tarred and feathered in the streets of Washington” they were bringing that tribunal into contempt and disrespect. When they advised every man that it was his duty to make cvery one around him disconténted they were assailing public order. When they declared that anarchy would teach the country a useful lesson they were attacking the foundations of law and gov- ernment. The sober second thought of the people is quite likely to demand of State Legislatures some action in line with these judicial interpretations of the power of the States, and as a result there will be less incite- ment to disorder and fewer appeals to passion to commit such crimes as the murder of the President. It may not be strictly true that a fool is born every minute, but something of confirmation is given to the theory by the report that another “corn king” has arisen in Kans; UR various controversies with Canada have OUR DISPUTES WITH QANADA. O been most of them before the public for a long time, and it is quite likely they will continue to engage the attention of diplomatists for a long time to come. Such, at any rate, is about the only conclusion that can be drawn from the recent statement of John Charlton, member of the Canadian Parliament and of the Joint High Commission ap- pointed to settle the disputes, that the vital point in the whole.controversy is the Alaskan boundary question, and that the position taken by the United States with respect to it is “unfair and untenable.” Charlton is reputed to be a statesman of high ability and a man of friendly feelings toward the United States. If he and such as he approach the disputes between the two countries in the spirit re- vealed by the language quoted, what are we to ex- pect of those members of the Canadian Government Alaskan coast, many a2 man who went there to dig gold may stay to dig potatoes and be thankful for the chance. —_— It is stated that the Governor of New York has already received two appeals asking him to pardon Czolgosz, so it appears the country is not to be unanimous even on the punishment of a wretch of that kind. By way ‘of keeping up an interest in the America’s cup the Canadians are talking of issuing a challenge, and should Lipton stick to the contest the next race may show three yachts in the match, who are but jingo politicians and whose sentiments with respect to the United States are dominated by pr_erjzdice rather than by friendship? e claim of the United States concerning the Alaskan boundary is based upon the treaty made be- tween Great Britain znd Russia defining that, boun- dary. We claim nothing more than the British con- ceded to Russia by the language of the treaty, and we certainly cannot be expected to take anything less. - The treaty declares that the boundary in dis- pute runs along the crest of a mountain range parallel to and not more than ten marine leagues dis- tant from the sea, and that where the crest of the mountains is at a greater distance then the boundary runs along a lige tén marine leagues from the sea and parallel t> the windings of the coast. The Canadians have set up a claim that the boundary should run ten leagues from the coastline from headland to headland without regard to the windings of bays, and because we do not set aside the plain language of the treaty and concede that claim Mr. Charlton charges that our position is unfair and untenable. It goes without saying that so long as Canadian statesmen of the eminence of Mr. - Charlton holds such views our disputes with Canada will go on. It is to be regretted that it should be so. The points In controversy are not of any grave importance to cither ourselves or the Canadians, and no one be- lieves that any of them will ever be a cause of war. None the less their existence is a continual provoca- tion to wrangling. It was earnestly hoped that the present Joint Commission would find a way for set- tling all of them, but up to this time it has done nothing to justify the expectation, and now Mr. Charlton’s words will go far to put an end to the hopes of the most sanguin There is a growing demand in London that Lord Roberts return to South Africa and give Kitchener a chance to come to London and explain, — : SOUTH ASIAN POLITICS. D-ISPATCHES from London announcing the receipt in that city of the report of the death of the Ameer of Afghanistan said: “In view of the existing critical situation in South Africa the news sent something like a shock through the United Kingdom.” It is not strange it should have done so. Affairs throughout Southern Asia, from Syria to the confines of India, are evidently becoming seriously tangled, and the Ameer is one of the men upon whom the British have relied most confidently to keep the peace until the South African struggle is over and their armies are released from service in that quarter of the globe. Asia is an enormous continent, but vast as is the ; area, its peoples and its politics are closely linked to- gether. G]L'st at present the danger point is at the Persian Gulf. The Germans have a concession for a railway from the Bosphorus to the Gulf of Persia by way of the valley of the Euphrates. Shortly after that concession was granted the Russians obtained a su- preme infiuence in Persian affairs by feason of a loan made to the Shah, and it is believed to be only a matter of time when Russia will get control of a gulf port as a commercial and a naval base. ® The two things mean that both Germany and Rus- sia are to be firmly established on the Persian Gulf, and that in turn means that those powers will have strong positions on the route from the Suez canal to i India. British supremacy in that part of the ocean 1s therefore seriously threatened, and British states- men and British generals are well aware of the menace. It will be remembered that a short time ago the British sent a warship to Koweyt for the purpose of preventing the Turks from occupying that port. It was believed at the time that it might lead to a clash with the Sultan, and the danger, it would seem, is not vet over. The Sultan is the rightful sovereign of the province, but the Arab tribes that occupy it have never been submissive subjects, and the British, for their own purposes, have encouraged them to act in- { dependently. The recent dispatch 'of a war vessel to the scene of the trouble appears, therefore, to mean a determination on the part of the British to claim the | port as their own and thus prevent it from falling into the hands of either Russia or Germany. It is this wrangle that makes the report of the death of the Ameer of Aighanistan so startling to London just at this time. In fact, the British Government has projected a line of railway from the Indian frontier to the Persian Guli, and the proposed line wis de- signed to cross a portion of Afghanistan. Should anything prevent the extension of British railroads the consequences would be very serioiis to the em- pire. It can readily be understood, therefore, why the United Kingdom felt a shock when the report of the Ameer’s death was received. ' It meant for the British the loss of a friend in the very place where they most need one just now 1 { i | | | i WAR IN OUR TIME. DE BLOCH, whose theories on modern war have been scemingly confirmed by M every event of the war in South Africa, is i one of the men who have profited most by that pro- 1‘ longed struggle. Without the war he would doubt- less have found it difficult to get a hearing from | anything but an academic society, but as it is he not | only commands large audiences when lecturing to the | { general public, but he has had the opportunity -to ‘» address military bodies, and has thus gained in pres- tige as well as in reputation. Lord Roberts is quoted as having said recently: “When I went to South Africa I laid down the rule that the files were not to be closer than six paces when advancing to attack. That was very soon al- tered to ten, and then to twenty paces. It is abso- lutely necessary to be widely separated.” It is fur- ther reported that General Von der Goltz of Ger- many, in discussing the demonstrations made dur- ing the Transvaal war, said that the battle of the future is a riddle which no one can solve until it has been actually fought out. His argument is that a strong position well defended could not be carried by long lines of widely separated riflemen alone, while if an attack were made in masses the attacking force would be exterminated by the defenders. The views thus expressed by military men are con- | firmations of the theories with which de Bloch inter- ested the world before the war in South Africa be- gan. It is another evidence that all knowledge is not confined to professionals. De Bloch is a banker, but he none the less forestalled all mili- tary writers of the time in calculating the effects which improved firearms have produced in the con- duct of war. In a recent lecture before the British United Ser- vice Institution M. de Bloch said: “At Waterloo Wellington had some 35,000 men on each mile of ground. At Magersfontein the Boers, with some 6000, defended twenty miles of front—that is to say, they found 300 men per mile sufficient to hold their line against British attack.” By reason of the great gain thus given to the defensive force it is argued that it will be well nigh impossible hereafter to con- quer a brave people who are resolved to maintain their independence. De Bloch therefore declares it to be now a useless waste of money to maintain the enormous standing armies that so burden the nations of Europe. He says the drilled soldier of the bar- racks will not be in future any better than the indi- vidual fighter who has been taught to rely upon him- self. Discipline and tactics will count for little in opposition to courage and the ability to shoot and to take care of one's self without waiting for the ‘word of command. : | hearing this schooner,” and from that time the vessels of that class have been so called.

C., City. The coinage of trade dollars for general circu- lation ceased in 1878. Proofs were made in the following years to 1883 inclusive. The price that dealers charge for such is $2 50. CIGARETTE SMOKING—T. S. City. Slight poisoning by cigarette smoking is indfcated by nausea, but poisoning of the em by the excessive use of cigarettes indicated by pallor, depression and loss of nerve power. When that condition is reached it is advisable to stop the use of cigarettes, consult a reputable physleian and follow his advice. MOUNTAIN HIGH—Subscriber, City. The term, or expression, “Waves moun- tain high.” is only a figure of speech, for it is said that waves do not rise mountain high. Waves in the North Atlantic have been observed to rise 43 feet in height. In the South Atlantic 22 feet is recorded. It | Is reported that there have been waves 36 | feet in height in the Bay of Biscay. In the German Ocean they do not rise more than 14 feet. 3 SCHOONER—Subsecriber, City. The name schooner applied to a class of sailing ves- sels is derived from the Dutch word “schoon,” beautiful. The first vessel of that class was, it is said, built at Glou- cester, Mass., by Captain Andrew Robin- son in 1714. When the vessel, which was masted and rigged as schooners are to- day, was going off the stocks a bystander, using the word schoon as a verb, said, ‘Oh, how she schoons.” The owner over- sald “then let her be a THE FACE—Coin, City. The face on the silver dollar of the present day is from sketches of the features of Miss Anna W. Willlams, who was at the time it was adopted an attache of the pareat mint in Philadelphia. George J. Morgan, who drew the design, made several sketches of the lady’s face and finally used one of them on the dollars that were issued in 1878, but he had altered it so that the lady did not recognize it and did not leaern until 1889 that her features had been used as the basis for the figure of liberty on the new coins. THE OLD AMERICA—Yachtsman, City, In the first race for the America’s cup the America was matched against the Vo- lante, the Arrow and other boats. The Volante when third in the race sprung her bowsprit, the America being at that time more than a mile in the lead. The Ar- row, far in the lead of the Volante, went ashore, and the second boat teo finish was the Aurora, the smallest of all in the race. The America was after the race bought by Lord Blaquiere, who put a sailing master on board who did not understand her and matched her affllnst the Arrow, which defeated her badly. TIN PLATE—A. D. F., Oakland, Cal Tin plate is made of iron or steel plates washed in acld to remove the oxide that forms on them by exposure to the air. They are then dried, annealed, cold rolled, annealed again and once more washed in acid, after which they are plunged in melted tallow and then dipped in a bath of tin, where they remain about twenty minutes. The excess of tin is then re- moved, the plates are polished and dried, the grease removed and the plates are finished. Terne plates is an inferior plate, the tin used being mixed with lead. Terne plate, which is not bright, is known as roofing tin. ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA-—T. C. S.. City. No tea 1s raised in England, and the term \“English breakfast tea” was applied to a mixture of congou, flowery pekoe and chop of Powchong. This made such a pleasant tea that there was a great demand for it, and as it could not be had at any_place but the tea store of Richard Davies” on Chatham street, New York. some one sent ten pounds of it to China with instructions to make a large ship- ment of the same. The Chinese soon dis- govered the mixture and since that time have put it up in half chests and shipped to all parts of the world. Davies, whd had established a good business, soon had his trade taken from him, became a ped- dlar of coffee and died very poor in New Jersey. read tax. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. W. J.
