Unfortunately the few barrels that were distilled be- fore this important discovery was magde were de- ers, so there was no chance stroyved by the offic fter aging. There is no known reason, however, why our figs ould not make as fine an aromatic brandy as those Greece, and we are sure that California fig brandy to would find a profitable market in the United States and some demand abroad. As it is a local interest our members of Congress can be relied on to get fig liquor into the revenue law, and then, if Mr. Korbel will bring his skill and“ex- perience to bear on its distillation, his work for'prune brandy will not be wholly lost. There seems to be no reason why we should not also supply the American demand for apricotine. The apricot is more generally distributed over. the State than the prune, and in full years not only must there be a surplus over the demand for canning and drying, but in all years there must be much fruit not up to the standard required by either. This ought to g0 to the still, as it does in France, and be saved in- stead of wasted. Failure is the alphabet of success, and perhaps the publicity given to Mr. Korbel's failure in prune may make him the real founder of profitable uses for much that is now wasted It is stated that as a result of the invasion of China 7 the powers the industries of the country were so sturbed that upward of 900,000 people are nobw on he verge of starvation, so it would seem that in some respects the processes of civilization are not widely different fromy those of barbarism. If the bandits who abducted Miss Stone were good business men they would accept the ransom ‘offered and close the incident. By holding out for more they may convince the authorities that it would be cheaper to offer a reward for the capture of the bandits than to try to ransom the lady. The annual horse show in New York is expected to be eclipsed by the forthcoming automobile show, at which it is said there will be exhibited an auto capable of making seventy miles an hour on a smooth road. It is announced that Croker is to retire from New York politics, but it would have been more accurate to say New York politics has shaken him off. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1901. WHEN KING EDWARD THE FOOTBALL SEASON. HE annual football season is upon us. The T various college and university teams have been in practice since the weather became cool enough for hot work, and the “rooters” have invented their various yells, nicely adjusted to their double purpose of terrifying the other team and encourag- ing their own. The list of casualties in the practice games is a measure. of the strength and courage that have been devéloped, and, until the . last: game s played, horse-racing and prize-fighting will “go way back and sit down,” according to the latest slang, while this strenuous sport holds the front of the stage. > = There is no denying the danger of football; the bruised bodies and broken bones and the annual fatalities testify to that. But still it stands first in col- lege athletics. Parents may tremble when their stu- dent sons join the team, but as a rule their commands are in vain. The boy will play and make his muscle mighty and his eye quick to excel in the rugged sport. Professors do not always look kindly on the game. They make rigid rules as to the scholastic rating of the players. They scold, .admonish and deprecate. They warn, advise and forbid. Then when the game comes off they "are found among the boys on the bleachers, wearing the team colors and cracking their throats with the demoniac yell. It is somewhat the same with the parents of the players. They go in fear and trembling to see the game and remain to swing their arms and add their voices to the awful chorus of encouragement, which makes the field sound like two rival pandemoniums turned loose | in a match at shouting jargon. ‘When the game and the motive that makes it popu- lar are analyzed it is evident that it is a favorite with American boys because it has the spice of danger and is a rugged test of physical strength, alertness and courage. It is all very well for the staid old man who is called “daddy” by two or three student sons to suggest the bucksaw and tough wood as furnishing the means of exercise when he was a boy. The buck- saw is all right, but running it lacks the spice of ad- venture and competition that gives fQotball its flavor. | Then the use of a bucksaw is very monotonous, and youth abhors monotony. If it could be invested with the variety of changes that add to the charms of a strenuous game of football, and with snme of the dangers thereof, it might figure as a rival. But a8 it cannot we fear that “daddy” will have to give it up, and hang up the buck and the saw, like the fiddle and the bow of “poor old Ned,” and take his place on the bleachers and master the barbaric syilables of the yell. To-day our two uriversities have it out in the an- nual competition game, and the boys of both will be there, learning something more than the wild and dangerous scuffle of the play. They avill be learning to keep their temper and their wits, to take care of their defense in emergency. The winners will learn to be polite and not patronizing to the losers, and the losers will learn the most needful lesson of all—to be good losers, for in all human history no fact stands out more prominently in war, politics, business and society than that the good loser is the final winger. If we differ from the parents and the professors about football in colleges we do so with becoming diffidence, but still we must insist that the rough and dangerous game teaches something that is not taught in books nor classroom. . It is for that reason that young and old, women and.girls, men of affairs and all, will be found on the bleachers to-day to shout ap- proval at the gladiators who will grapple in the field. Some may get hurt, but, like the game of war and of life, the battle will go on to a finish, and may the best men win. e In his race for Governor of Massachusetts Josiah Quincy did about as well as could have been expected by such of his friends as are reasonable, but he will not be looked to any longer as a Democratic Moses. NE of the most cheering factors in the Seuth- PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH. ern problem is the rapidity with which it is O developing along all lines of industry. It may naturally be expected that with an increase of wealth there will come an increase of education, as well as more industrious_habits, and that from those improvements there will in turn develop a sense of re- sponsibility to law which will put an end to the homicides and the lynchings which now not only disgrace the community where they occur but retard the immigration of settlers, who would materially benefit the South in many ways. Of the industrial advance there is no longer any question. It is, in fact, one of the most notable fea- tures.of the development of our' time. It hardly seems credible that in some kinds of production other than that of agriculture the South now produces as much as the whole Union did in 1880, and yet the trade statistics show that such is the case. In fact, the South is rapidly advancing from an agricultural to a manufacturing community. Her cities ate increasing in populatign and her railroad mileage is advancing by leaps and bounds. In a comparatively few years the South will no longer be poor. She will be able to educate her children as well as those of other parts of the Union and to enforce her laws with an equal firmness and impartiality. Some evidences of Southern progress have been recently predented in the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser, and while they by no means cover the whole subject they are none the less sufficient to show that a new .era has begun for that section of the country. In 1890 the South -had $61,000,000 invested in cotton factories, but at present such investments represent upward of $200,000,000. At present the Southern mills consume annually about 1,600,000 bales of cotton, while the mills of all other parts of the country consume 1,800,000 bales. Moreover, the cottonseed oil industry has developed in the South until it now yields a product of $80,000,000 a year. This product a few years ago was thrown away as waste. ; Cotton, however, does not engage all the manufac- turing energies of the South. The advance in the- iron and coal interests has been not less marked than that made in the manufacture of cotton goods. At the present time the South is making about 3,000,- 000 tons of pigiron and mining about 50,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, making an output in each case tire Union in 1880. - Another expanding ‘industry is that of working up the woods of the country, In other wood-working factories has proceeded so far they are beginning to be counted as rivals to the lar- gest centers of such industries in the North. It is to be noted, finally, that the improved methods of operating gold mines has led to a renewal of gold- mining in North Carolina and Georgia, and fairly good results have been attained. Thus, in all kinds of mining, metal-working and wood-working, as well as- in cotton-spinning, the South is approaching the ac- tivity of the North and the West. Itis stated that her railways are so crowded with business it is almost im- possible for them to handle it. chinery, it is not too much to expect there will be an improvement in the social conditions of the peo- ple, that Bourbonism will die out, and that the South- ern problem, which is now so perplexing, will solve itself in the hum of industry, the advance of education and the establishment of law. If the report be true that France, Russia and Great Britain have agreed upon a programme of action with respect to Turkey, it is likely the Sultan will find a warm sympathizer in Kaiser Wilhelm, e —————— THE PERPLEXING SURPLUS. ECRETARY GAGE has complained that the in- S creasing surplus in the treasury takes and keeps money out of the channels of trade. He is not the only cne to whom the surplus is a matter of se- rious consideration. In fact, there are a very large number of people. who have the money on their minds by day and possibly in their dreams by night, and one of the things which will interest us in the proceedings of Congress this winter will be- that of ‘to do with it. - At the close of October the surplus for the fiscal year, which began on Jaly 1, had already reached the sum of more than $23,000,000, and it is increasing right along. The changes made in the war revenue act at the last session of Congress were expected to reduce the revenue by $40,000,000, but such has been the increased prosperity and business of the country that the reduction will not amount to yaore than $27,000,000. So we have the surplus and the problem of deciding what to do with it. There are three classes of people who have their eyes on it. First are the liquor men, who believe the surplus justifies them in demanding a reduction of the tax upon liquor from $1 10 to 70 cents per gallon. It is stated that they have already begun their campaign and will make a strong attack upon Congressmen as soon as the session begins. They will not have to fight the battle alone, for the brewers are organizing about a reduction of taxes upon both whisky and beer. A second class of men who are interested in the money are the Congressmen who wish appropria- tions for their districts. It is stated that a river and harbor bill carrying at least $20,000,000 of immediate which is said to be just about equal to that of the en- ' some localities the development of furniture and | appropriations is one of the things that are confi- dently expectéd at Washington. Furthermore, there is a prospect of a good and liberal appropriation bill for public buildings and the construction of the memorial bridge across the Potomac. These bills will of course find favor with many persons, and they constitute a very strong force in. opposition to the liquor men and the brewery. Finally, there is among the departments of the Government ifself a desiresto relieve the treasury of its surplus and Secretary Gage of his troubles. For example, the Wq;_ Department is said to be of the opinion that the expenditiires in the Philippiries next year will be higher than they were for last year, and consequently more money will be needed. Other de- partments take similar views of their expenditures. In short, nearly every one who has a reach long enough to get at the surplus has a decided opinion as to what should be done withjit. 11t is a familiar say- ing that it is easier to handle a surplus than a' deficit, but it must be admitted that i®would take a pretty big deficit to make more trouble and cause more talk than will be produced by this surplus when Congress gets down to business. P e — When the chiefs who made the campaign against Croker begin to discuss who did the lion's share of the work we may expect Mark Twain to rise and claim the honor of having run him out of town by ‘way of a new joke AWAKENING OF OCHINA. INISTER CONGER has transmitted to the M State Department at Washington a transla- v tion of a series of rules and orders adopted by the newly organized Board of National Adminis- tration in China. There have been many reports that the new board would set about undertaking re- forms which would strengthen as well as improve China, and from the documents ' furnished by Mr. Conger it would seem the reports have by no means exaggerated the purposes of the officials now at the head of the Chinese- Government. The full text of the rules and orders transmitted by the Minister has not been given out by the State Depattment, but from the summary that has been made piiblic it will be easy to perceive that a new and deeply significant spirit has been awakened in China. Among other things the regulations say: “Tapan is of the same continent with ourselves; her change of methods is quite recent, and she has attained to strength and prosperity. Her experience has been so nearly like our own that we may derive instruction from it. The Chinese Minister to Japan, therefore, shotld be directed to make a report of all the changes in Government methods that Have been adopted, and that have proved advantageous, and send it to us; and {all_the Chinese Minicters to the various countries should be instructed to report the various financial measures, military laws, commercial and industrial legislation ‘which prevail abroad, selecting the most mmportant measures, classifying them, and submitting them to us for our consideration. The objéct of the es- tablishment of this Board of Administration is to pro- mote the independence of China. China’s weakness is due to her poverty. The strength of foreign powers is dtie to their wealth. Heretofore there have been debts to the foreign powers unpaid; now there is the pressure of the indemnity, amounting to more than $14,840,000 per annum.” - It may be that the Chinese will not be able to live up to the spirit of that report, that Chinese conserva- tism and stagnation will be too powerful for any ad- ministrative board to overcome, no matter how en- lightened and enterprising it may be. Nevertheless, the very fact that the Chinese Government has been enlightened is a proof that the whole population may be moved to some extent by the same spirit. It is to be remembered that the Chinaman is by no means so stagnant and stolid a man as he has been depicted. The Chinese who come to California do indeed re- tain their old style of dress and many of their ancient ways and customs, but they manage just the same to learn American trades and American methods of doing business. It is therefore nod unlikely that the race, remembering the suffering and wrongs inflicted by foreign invaders, will set itself resolutely to sup- port the improvements undertaken by the Board of National Administration. If that should happen the world will have a new problem on its hands before the century closes. : 4 Surely, with so much in the way of improving ma- | — determining what to say about the surplus and what and it is probable the two will combine to bring | {ing after that to turn the theater over SNAPSHOT OF EDWARD OF ENGLAND, WHO IS OF UNUSUAL SE- RIOUSNESS, TAKEN RECENTLY HIS FAVORITE NIECE, THE CZARINA, IN DENMARK.

L o o e T B e e e e e ] ) NATIONAL THEATER TO BE ESTABLISHED IN WINDY CITY The first national theater may be estab- lished in Chicago, after all. An experi- ment looking to that end is to be made there next sprigg and out of it is hoped to | grow the national theatrical company and | in time a nationa! theater, too. But the ] organization is deemed -more important than the building for housing it, and to getting the company together the first effcrts of the organizers will be devoted. The movement has been started by Henry T. Powers, who will place Pow- ers’ Theater at the disposal of the com-! pany be organized for a period of three months. Should the experiment prove ac- ceptable to the public he says he is will- to the organization for a stated time each year. It i8 not proposed to seek Govern- ment or municipal -help, but to raise a fund of $50,000 by private subscription for the other expenses. The plan was suggested to Manager Powers by Leo Ditrichstein some time ago, and he is, therefore, really its orig- inator. It Is proposed to organize a stock company of twenty-eight persons to pre- sent the pieces chosen. This will be large enough to permit the leading players to appear only three times a week, while the minor players appear nightly. Four plays would be tried, and after they had been onf@vlew it could be seen which was the most popular. Two rounds of performances, it is considered, would show the direction of the public fancy conclusively enough. Afterward the plece or two pieces showing the greatest draw- ing capacity would have the preference in the succeeding two weeks, the others be- ing played, however, at least once every week. At the end of a month a fifth play could be produced or revived. The promoters of the plan hope to ex- tend its operations to New York, Boston and Philadelphia.. The company, it is sug- gested, could play three months each in Chicago and New York, if a New York theater could be secured, and divide the remaining three months between Boston and Philadelphia. “Into citles much smaller than these” said Mr. Ditrichstein in an interview, “the company could not hope to go, but its in- fluence nevertheless would be felt in every cily, and its repertoire of plays could be drawn upon, after an interval, by any city. More pieces could be put in with the knowledge that they could not be played two consecutive nights at a time with | profit, and a blow would be dealt at the long run system. Long runs have been the greatest enemy dramatic art has ever had, and nothing but a repertdire theater or a repertoire company can bring aboutl any ‘change in present theatrical meth- ods.” e A CHANCE TO SMILE.

Ever since the laying out of the city line in the borough of the Bronx in 1804 there has existed a narrow strip of land running from the Bronx River in a south- erly direction to the shores of Long Island Sound, claimed by the city, town and county, and which has become known throughout the borough as “Ne Man's Land.” On the Long Island Sound shore the strip of land In question is about 250 feet wide, and it tapers gradually for a distance of two miles or more northerly until it reaches an angle and dies away near the heart of South Mount Vernon. The bill gives the land to the county of ‘Westchester, but provides for the con- struction of an avenue 100 feet wide run- ning from Long Island Sound to South Mount Vernon. The center line of this avenue will, according to the provisions of the bill, be the boundary line between New York and Westchester County, and the expense of the constructlon of the avenue will be borne equally. This new avenue will also form the eastern boun- dary of Bronx and Pelham parks. Prop- erty owners in the vieinity are elated over the outcome of the dispute, as it will open up a territory that has been unimproved for years and provide a fine roadway lead- ing straight from Long Island Sound.
