O sgirit of gallantry is present in the pride that NCahiorma feels in the presence of mind, skill and coolness in the presence of death and danger, exhibited by Dr. Anna G. Lyle in the ter- | rible stage coach accident of last Saturday on the Cazadero road She sat on a tep seat and when the awful plunge of the coach down the grade was arrested by col- | lision, the {ying wreck the passenger at her left was killed and the one on her right was seriously in- jured. She was thrown clear over the coach and fell | in the trail. Stunned for 2 moment she rose and | organized a field hospital, being herself the entire corps. Disposing of the dead, reverently and decently, she carried and dragged the wounded into the shade. | With water jound in a deserted well, and her own garments for bandages and her garters for ligatures, she saved lives that were ebbing by a flow of blood from comgound fractures, and, thoughtless of herself, joining skill to heroism, she ministered to the seven survivors of the most awful coaching accident that ever occurred in California. 2 With the blankets and cushions from the wrecked coach she disposed them all as comfortably as possi- ble in the shade and served them skillfully, with courage, and cheered them until help came. The re- lief party had not room for all, and sending them for- ward she remained, alone by the roadside, soothing the agony of the most seriously injured lady of the ty, with the wounded on one hand and the stark dead on the other. As stout men think of that scene their eyelashes gather dew, and their hats are lifted to this lady of the Cazadero road. Miss Lyle was an early, and said by the faculty to be the greatest, graduate of Stanford University. From there she went to the medical section of Johns Hopkins and took a full course, graduating with honor last spring. She returned to her native State to take up the practice of her chosen profession and | among her initial experiences is this thrilling and | It is a pleasure and a duty to give this ascription to this high-hearted daughter of California, who in the wounds and suf- ferings of others forgot her own, and on the lonely mountain side, in a blgzing sun and choking dust, with only her own raiment for appliances, saved lives by | the prompt use of her skill, and eased the sufferings of those who were stricken beyond the power to turn their own faces from the sun. California salutes this great woman and adopts her into the goodly company of the State’s worthies. — awful peril of 2 mountain road. Grand Army men in Philadelphia are reported to be much opposed to the edict that ragtime music shall not be played for the march at the national en- campment in Washington in October. One of them is quoted by the Ledger as saying: “Maybe the national committee thinks it doesn’t look soldierly or dignified for 2 lot of veterans to come prancing along to ragtime music. That may be so, but I'd think they ought to be proud to see that the old men are so frisky. Think of it—men who fought forty years ago still able to cakewalk! Think of what a cut could be made in the pension rolls should the Commission- er see the ‘possum-a-la’ or something like that by a one-legged man of 80! They ought to be delighted with ragtime.” .

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. HE widespread campaign in this country for Tthe public ownership and operation of public utilities has recently received an impetus from the published report of the operation of her street railroads by the city of Glasgow. The report, as cir- culated in this country, makes the following showing: Gross receipts.. L£614,413 4 11 Less working expense ... 4508 0 7 Balance ............ Caii 29310 4 4 The statement that this apparent profit of over one million dollars was carried to the general fund, in mitigation of taxation, has been received in this coun- try with great enthusizsm by the advocates of putting our municipal, State and Federal governments into business. J Of course thousands of propagandists of this policy and thousands of their converts made by the circu- lation of this Glasgow report wwill never read nor know the real facts. But, as such a serious matter as the involving of government in purely business en- terprise may come finally to be decided by the men who study the matter in a non-fanatical temper and take pains to know the facts, such will be interested in the analysis of the report by the Glasgow Herald. That paper says that the supposed profit is purely imaginary, and then proceeds to reveal much the same system of public accounting that is so justly complained of in American cities. The city, in lieu of the rental for use of streets which a private cor- poration would pay, credits the Common Good fund with £12,500 annually. It uses the tramways of Govan FRANOCISCO CALL, WED as part of its system and pays therefor a rental of | £5057 3s 10d annually. With this explanation the Herald prints the city’s tramway account for the vear as it actually is, to this effect: RECEIPTS. Gross - £614,413 4 11 ‘Working expenses ... 405103 0 7 Balance ... .. £209,310 4 EXPENDITURES. Govan tramways s Interest .... Sinking fund Common good Depreciation Total . £202,%54 This sum, taken from the £209,310 4s 4d difference between gross receipts and working expenses, leaves only £6955 11s 2d. This is a far fall from the sum of supposed profits that has excited so much en- thusiasm in public ownership ranks in this country. The Herald adds that if the city had paid into the Common Good fund the street rental required of a private corporation the deficit for- the year would have shown a loss of over £40,000. The Herald omits one item which, if included, will | undoubtedly show a less instead of the small net gain of £6955 11s 2d. This is the loss of taxes which the city would have taken from a private corporation. As a result of its exposition the Herald advises that | the citizens of Glasgow disabuse their minds of the dea that the corporation tramways are a highly re- munerative undertaking. This statement is of great interest. The practice revealed by it is becoming It is the failure every item that enters into the cost of its administra- tion. If the official accounting system of Glasgow were of the same character and exactness as that re- quired by private corporations the items of working expense, the Govan rental, interest, sinking fund, Common Good fund and depreciation would have been credited to the tramway account, amounting to £607,457 175 6d, and the same account would have | been charged with the receipt of 614,413 45 11d. In that shape, the proper form, the annual state- ment would have been intelligible, though useless to the advocates of public ownership. But instead of making a proper account, the items of rent, interest, sinking fund, Common Good and depreciation are credited to the city’s general fund, which Teceives, to meet and pay them, the balance leit of the tramway income after taking out thg working expenses. Glasgow might as well go further and by crediting the working expenses to the general fund also make it appear that the gross receipts are the profit of op- erating the system. A Boston literary reviewer says that all a man has to do now to acquire a competency “is to write a successful novel,” but we are inclined to believe his chances would be better if he would organize a suc- almost cessful trust. Still anything “successful” PANAMA CANAL TITLES, ECENT repor:s are by no means reassuring to Rthose who believed that it would be an easy thing for the United States to obtain a clear title to the Panama canal and so be able to set to work within a year. There are now seemingly so many complications to overcome that it may be years before the title is straightened out. In fact it may prove in the end that Senator Morgan was right when he stated that the title can never be satisfac- torily cleared and that the canal will be constructed by the Nicaragua route after all. Attorney General Knox himself is reported to have said of his trip to Paris: “I am going abroad for the purpose of obtaining a clear title to the property bought by us from the Panama Canal company. T shall also investigate the treaty between the Panama Canal Company and the Government of Colombia.” He added: “The taking of testimony in the Panama canal merger cases will begin early next month. We have no guarantee that the old shareholders of the canal will not come forward at some future date and sue us for something that we might overlook. - This is our reason for getting the absolute consent of the French Government to the transfer and a clear title in every particular. We want no after-clap, and the United States will attempt nothing so far as ad- vancing any of the purchase money until the whole thing is perfectly satisfactory.” After having made those statements the Attorney General is reported to have said optimistically: “While the best legal authorities in this country have been consulted as to the transfer, and the question is a momentous one, I do not anticipate any friction and really look forward to a speedy trip Home and a satisfactory settlement of the question.” The cheer- fulness of that closing statement is pleasing, but it is too much a mere matter of expectation. The At- torney General indeed may return home speedily, for his duties require him at home, but there is evidently grave danger that the business may drag for a long time before an end can be reached that will be satis- factory to the French Government and our own, for it seems we are to have validity of the title assured cither by a decision of the French Court of Cassation or by an act of the Chamber of Deputies, Announcements have been made from time to time that the French Government is quite willing SDAY, company to the United States, and it is quite likely that such willingness exists. Still the French Gov- ernment no more than our own can work faster than court proceedings permit and governmental machinery allows. A recent review of the subject says that the affairs of the canal company are still involved in litigation and have not: yet reached the Court of Cassation. How long the litigation will continue no one appears able to foresee, but one au- thority 2sserts that the people of the United States must make up their minds to wait several yeérs be- fore seeing the beginning of the actual work of con- struction.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS, | l Telegraphs of the World,” there has just been issued from the Treasury Bureau of Statistics which telegraphy is row employed in serving the in- terests of mankind in every part of the globe. The lines of the world is 1,180,000 miles, the length of their single wires or conductors 3,800,000 miles, and them about 400,000,000, or an average of more than 1,000,000 each day. things constitute the great bulk of the lines, still sub- marine wires form a notable part of the whole and years since the practicability of submarine telegraphs was first demonstrated and they now cross every They number 1750.

At the present time ncarly a score of wires have been stretched across the Atlantic and no less than thir- teen operate between the United States and Europe. Three others span the comparatively short space be- tween South America and the African coast. The Indian Ocean is traversed by several lines. The Mediterranean is crossed and recrossed through its length and breadth. The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are almost equally well supplied, while along the eastern coast of Asia cable lines loop from port to port and island to island. Several adventur- ous pioneers in Pacific telegraphy have ventured to considerable distances and depth, one cable line run- ning from Australia to New Zealand, a distance of over 1000 miles, and another extending from Aus- tralia to the French colony of New Caledonia, 800 miles seaward. Experts are of the cpinion that wireless telegraphy will not affect the value of the wire lines. That, how- ever, is a question that can be accurately answered only after the wireless system has been put into ex- tensive operation and its utility for commercial pur- poses tested by daily. experience. In the meantime capital is not at all slow in venturing upon the con- struction of new wire lines and the extension of the old ones, so that it seems evident we shall soon have lines enough'to suit all needs of any part of the globe, e A young woman of Connecticut has brought against a young man a suit which has seriously dis- turbed the whole East. It appears the woman, who confesses to 20 years of age, was engaged to the man, but had notified him that he should not kiss her until after marriage. One evening the youth seized her and, despite her resistance, gave her what our East- ern exchanges call a “luscious smack.” The woman at once broke off the engagement and has had the young man arrested on charge of assault. We gather from our exchanges that the entire youth of New England is watching the progress of the case with alarm, Evidently Secretary Shaw has a very level head and a far-seeing mind, for he has recently dismissed from the department a clerk who has “invented a system to beat the races.” The Secretary has sense enough to know that the only thing that would be beaten in .the long run would be the treasury till.

The squad was new to the district when assigned for duty on August 1 and the report is therefore all the more creditable. During the month the total arrests were 28, including 52 white and 206 Chinese. Of the arrests 39 were for visiting a lot- tery place, % having lottery tickets in pos- sesslon, 54 visiting fantan games; 3 keep- ing an opium place and 66 misdemeanors. Of those arrested 206 were convicted and paid fines, 5 convicted and confined and 47 dismissed. The total fines and forfeitures amounted to §1655. The squad consists of Gully, J. McCormick, J. H.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN BOOK WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—The Demo- cratic Congressional campaign book which made its appearance to-day is a Vvolume of 334 pages, the major portion of Wwhich is devoted to the discussion of im- perialism and trusts, 240 pages being given to these two topics. Upon the title page is the Democratic slogan, “Equal Rights to All; Special Privileges to None.” The volume opens with the plat- form of 150 and the resolutions adopted by the Democratic members of the House at their confereace Jume 19, arraigning the Republican party for failing to give relief to Cuba and to enact proper anti- trust legislation. Then follows an ex- tended criticism of the Republican book, many of the statements contained therein being challenged as to accuracy, espe- clally those dealing with the trust ques- tion. Under the head of imperialism there Is a long general review of the Philippine policy under the following heads: “Attempt to divert the issue; partisan censorship; War Department investiga- tion and that of Senate contrasted; War Department policy of suppression; far- cical Investigations; a court-martial stopped because it would prove too much; court-martial trial a farce; cruelty com- mijtted and encouraged; crimes of war and not of soldiers; American expansion versus Roman imperialism; colonialism and trade; statistics against colonialism; keep American capital at home; the bur- dens of militarism; Philippine venture beginning of general policy of colonial- ism; our war-like President;: Philippines a source of weakness; shall we spend people’s taxes at home or in distant lands? a government for carpet-baggers and spoilation; statehood for the Philip~ pines.” This review is succeeded by chapters on General Miles and the army; disgraceful record of the military authorities at both ends of the lines In the Gardener, case; the Smith court-martial; torture as a policy; review of evidence involving the ‘War Department and certain army offi- cers in the Philippines in violation of the laws of war; the system, not the indi- vidual, to blame; Democracy the remedy for barbarities; fundamental obpections to the Philippines; account of slavery and polyzamy under the protection of the flag, and vice and lothsome diseases in the Philiopines. The chapters on the tariff and trusta are crowded with statistics and figures, much attention being devoted to an at- tempt to show that protected trusts and manufactures get the benefit of all the tariff in our markets and sell in foreign markets at greatly reduced prices. Fac- similes of price-lists are given and com~ parisons are made with domestic prices of like articles. A number of big trusts are discussed in detail to show that they sell their products abroad mugh cheaper than at home, and the whole question is summarized in a chapter on the “Evils of Protected Trusts,” which is sub-di- vided as follows: I—Political corruption. 2—Watered stock. 3—Concealment of ex- port prices. 4—Juggled and manufactured statistics. b The record of the two parties on the trust question are contrasted. Reciprocity generally is denounced as a “humbug.” | The remainder of the volume is devoted to a varlety of subjects, including gov- ernment by injunction, the ship subsidy bill, Chinese exclusion, foreign affairs and the Schley case.
