HEN the bill ‘providing for an increase of W pay for letter carriers was under considera- tion no pdper’in the United States gave it more cordial support than The Call, nor did any paper urge the passagé of the measure with greater frequency and insistence, Consequently there can be no mistaking the position of The Call when it states that the reasons ‘gived’ by Congressman Loud for wvoting .against .the_ bill are absolutely un- answerable. Those reasons when reduced to the simplest statement are that while the letter carriers have a right to ask for higher pay there are thousands of r employes in the postal service who have a better right, and that it is but just and fair that what- ever increase of pay the postal revenues may be suffi- cient to permit to the employes of the service should be given first to those who need it most. It is to be borne clearly in mind from first to last sing this subject that Mr. Loud- does not oppose absolutely the desired increase in the pay of the carriers. He is wining to accord it just as soon the increase can be granted without doing further stice to other employes of the department. In is recent speech at Twin Peaks Hall dhe said: “When this equalization of the salaries is finally brought zbout in all branches-of the service it will then be time to consider the claims of the letter car- riers. If the people of the countryswant to pay the letter carriers $1200 or evem $1400 a “year Congress will obey their demand.” - In another connection he sa “I bope to sec the letter carriers receive ade- guate pay always for their worthy service, but they should not be an exclusive class, nor should they begrudge the money that is used to elevate their fel- low employes.” . So much for the position of Mr. Loud on the ques- tion of an increase of thecarriers’ pay. Now let con- sideration be given to the facts upon which that position is based. Mr. Loud states there aré about 15.000 letter carriers in the postal service and about 105,000 other employes, including postoffice clerks and railway mail clerks. Of the latter Mr. Loud says they “have suffered reductibn in salaries suffi- cient to bring their average rate of pay far below that of the letter carriers, although these men distinctly rank the carriers in the quality of service performed.” Going on to give figures in detail, the Congress- man pointed out that “the average pay of the post- office clerk up to four years ago was less than $700 per a2nnum. It is now something over $800. The average pay of the railway mail clerk, who fills 2 position of unusual risk and danger of accident— hardly a railway disaster occurs upon our pagsenger trains without the loss or injury of a railway clerk— is little over $1000 per annum, but it must be re- membered that this class of employe is obliged to be away from home most of the time and the expense of this absence is fully $150 a year, reducing his net salary to about $875 a year. The average salary of a letter carrier, who works less than eight hours a day all told and who carries mails but five and a half hours 2 day, is $018 per year, or about $40 per year more than the railway mail clerk.” For the purpose of advancing the service and im- proving the conditions of the employes Congress, as Mr. Loud says, has within the last four years appro- priated $12,000,000 to increase the salaries of post- office clerks and railway mail clerks. Thus it will be seen that the work of equalizing pay and raising szlaries to 2 just level is steadily going forward. Finally, it is to be borne in mind that this is not- a position in which Mr. Loud stands alome. The Postoffice Committee and a majority. of the House are with him. Indeed, if Mr. Loud stood alone it is self-evident he could not” have prevented: the pas- sage of the carriers”bill. Upon that point he ‘said at Twin Peaks Hall: “Neither I nor the committee felt for 2 moment that the letter carriers’ ‘bill shoul receive consideration while this state of affairs exists, find T-will frankly state that I did not favor the pas- sage of their bill then, nor did any member of the committee, nor did Congress, and I-am certain it does not favor it now, because we are not through in- creasing the salaries of other employes yet.” That is the plain statement of facts in connection with this much discussed bill. We.submit that Mr. Loud’s position is impregnable and his argument unanswerable, and in saying.that we do not dispute the right of the letter carriers as well as that of other employes of the department to receive adequate pay- ment for their worthy work; nor, as we have pointed out, does Mr." Loud dispute it 7 in . | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1902, MME. PATENOTRE, AMERICAN WOMAN, A BAD POLIOY. T has long been seen to be inevitable that serious I clashes must occur in this country over the ques- tiom of “wages, "hours and conditions of labor. The remote cause of the hard-coal strike in Pennsyl- vania_was a contest between two different.standards of life. That coal\region presented a scene of pros- . perity before it was invaded by people of many alien races, who do not speak English, and whose stan- | | dard of life enabled them to save money on a lower | wage than serves to maintain the standard of the ‘English-speaking miners. 5 .That was the remote cause of the difficulty. ' It ‘was reinforced by other causes, which inhere in the di&efé'ficc,s of skill and capacity, such as increase in the weight of a ton of coal for which the miner is paid, ‘a ;means used by the operators to grade the whole body of labor down to the capacity of the least skillful. . This of course worked hardship of the most grinding nature upon the more skillful, and'the protest that finally found expression in the greatest strike the region has suffered was to have been ex- pected. Every good citizen is gratified that it is over and that President Roosevelt has succeeded in effecting a settlement that is honorable and creditable to all par- ties concerned. That each side has made concessions, and that these concessions balance each other, is evi- dent on the face and in the substance of the ar- rangement for industrial peace and renewal of the coal supply. In the anthracite region the miners have celebrated and made thanksgiving, not in a vicious spirit of wvictory that has humiliated the operators, but with a natural effusion of gratitude that they are to return to work and to wages for the hon- orable support of their families. No good citizen dgsires that a drop .of bad blood shall survive the contest. The miners themselves do not desire this, and no such spirit is exhibited by their leaders. In a time’of industrial peace their con- tacts are with their employers, and the interest of one is the interest of both. President Roosevelt acted in the matter on his own initiative, and there is every reason to believe that had he not acted when and as he did the strike would have been indefinitely prolonged. Colonel Carroll D. Wright, who is made recorder of the Arbitration Commission, said, what all sensible men know™to be true, that both the operators and the miners had grievances that must be considered in any settlement. To an observer who is not fooking for personal or partisan advantage the adjustment of the strike secures peace with honor to both sides. It is left, however, to the petty partisan- ship, the unpatriotic selfishness and the infinite and | inflated vanity of a few, who never earned wages nor paid them, to jump up and down and attract atten- tion by boasting that the operators were driven into a settlement to their disadvantage and to claim, in effect, that the settlement is a triumph of physical force. Mr. Hearst, candidate of the New York tenderloin for Congress, is the most conspicuous of these. He poses as having forced the President to do something that was 2lready done before he made use of it as a place upon which to paste advertisements of himself. He did not want the strike settled, and it could not have been settled on the line that he advocated. He would be glad of anything that would break the peace which President Roosevelt has secured. His own capital is kept carefully out of any of the great wage- paying industries of the country, and he studies means to disturb them all.” He incites labor by im- passioried appeals to any policy ‘that will make in- vestment in wage-paying enterprises unsafe, agd dustriously promotes the opinion that the business i terests of the country are inimical to its welfare. This policy is wrought into the hollow boast that Presi- | dent Roosevelt was scared into effecting a settlement which the operators were scared into accepting. This is done in the hope that another outbreak in some other part of the industrial. field may be encouraged with the expectation that advantages may be secu-ed through fear. that would be denied by equity. It'is a | bad policy and is opposed to the interests of labor and of capital. Admiral Crowninshield announces there is mno truth in the report that he intends to retire, and so another pleasing hope vanishes like the glow of au- tumn leaves. The admiral continues to insist, how- ever, that his name shall be pronounced “Crunshell,” so we can shorten the name if not the service. B the subject of Senate constitutional amend- ment No. 3, which if adopted will exempt pub- lic bonds from taxation, the League of California Municipalities is issuing circulars setting forth ar- guments in favor of the amendment and presenting the facts in so clear a light that no intelligent reader can mistake them. § As an illustration of the manner in which the taxa- tion of bonds has affected the State the league cir- cular cites the following specific instance: “Less than a year ago the city of Los Angeles issued bonds to the extent of $2,000,000, bearing interest at the rate of 3% per cent per annum. These bonds could not be floated in this State, because the low rate of inter- est would not permit the owner\to pay the taxes that would be levied upon them, and this in the face of the fact that there was plenty of idle money right in the banks of Los Angeles with which they could have been purchased. But the Legislature of the State of New York passed a special act by which those bonds could be held by its citizens exempt from all taxa- tion, and they are now held in that State, and the taxpayers of the city of Los Angeles are paying $75,000 a year in interest thereon to the citizens of New York. - Now, if it was wise for the Legislature of New York to thus favor its citizens by exempting the bonds of Los Angeles from taxation, how much wiser it would have been if we could have likewise favored our citizens and kept that $75,000 at home.” It is somewhat strange that among a people so well ‘versed in business principles as are most of the voters in California it should be necessary to malge any extended argument in favor of this proposition. Still a good many people decline to give the subject the consideration due it. They go upon the theory that wealth in the form of bonds should be taxed as well as other wealth, and overlook the fact that no State can tax its own bonds without - diminishing their market value. Even the United States does not tax its bonds. 'In our attempt to accomplish this im- possible feat we are injuring ourselyes, as is shown in the cited case of Los Angeles bonds. The whole State suffers more or less from “this foolish, short- sighted policy, and it-is high time to put an end to the evil. : il oo The issue should be fully discussed during the cam- paign, so the voters will not overlook it on election day. The League of Municipalities is doing good / A CASE IN POINT, Y way of aiding the campaign of education on | work in that respect, and the press should co-operate | in the work of education. The State gains absolutely nothing by the taxation of bonds issued for public. ‘purposes, while on the other hand municipalities, counties and school distficts suffer and large sums of money are sent abroad‘to pay to outsiders interest | money that should be kept at home. 2 l _ The big coal strike in the East ended just in tim for the health of both parties. The public had ceased to sympathize with either side and was beginning to sympathize with itself and get its mad up. ! —— HILL'S COAL PLANK. . TTENTION has been directed more than once A to the plank in the New York Democratic platform calling for national ownership and operation of anthracite c}o’al‘mifies. We have re- viewed the comments of some of the leading papers of New York, Bbston? Philadelphia and Chicago on the subject and noted the prevalent opinion in the East that the adoption of the plank was due to .a blunder, and that Hill, who dominated the conven- tion, would not undertake to defend it. ‘That opinion was erroneous. |Hill has taken the stump and has spoken for the coal plank with so much elaboration and emphasis as to fuake it his own. now spoken of in several of the Eastern papers as “Hill’s coal plank.” - In defénding the plank in his opening speech of the campaign.at Brooklyn Mr. Hill said that differences between the miners and the operators of the an- thracite npinea have been so common in the past it is Teasonable to assume they will be frequent in the future, and consequently the supply of _anthracite coal will be always subject to “interruptions from strikes or lockouts.” Hence he argued there is need for a permanent settlement of the industry, and that settlement can be effected only by the acquirement, of the'miqes by the Government through, an exercise of the right of eminent domain and their operation as a part of the work of the Government for the general good. - ; K { By way of guarding his party against the charge of | socialistic tendencies he said: “The proposition. is neither - startling, revolutionary, socialistic nor ~pa- ternal, but is constitutional, necessary, expedient, and, -above all, it is right. "It is simply a reasonable and nlcessary extension of the general policy of pub- lic ownership already largely' prevailing in the muni- cipalities of the country. This propesition does not commit the party to any other projects of - public ownership, whatever ‘their' merits, if any’ there may be. So far as the question of socialism is concerned there can be no essential difference between muni- cipal, State or national ownership, and each and all must stand upon the same general principle.” It will be conceded there is no essential difference between municipal, State and national ownership and operation of public utilities, and that all must stand on’the same. principle; - but none the less the public will hold that the New York coal plank is carrying governmental -ownership- and operation of industries further than any political party has ever yet proposed in thig country, or even in Europe. That the propo- sition is startling is shown by the effect it produced in New York itself. That it would be revolutionary is self-evident, for our National Government is a government of limited constitutional powers and has never undertaken paternal functions, Whether the adoption. of the plank commits thre Democratic party to any fufther socialistic programme -is hardly worth discussing. Mr. Hill himself says that all government operation of public utilities rests upon one and’ the "| same principle, and if that principle be adopted as a settled policy by the party there is no reason why it might not be carried to the extreme of socialistic vagaries in city, State and nation. The issue is given importance from the fact that it ‘has been raised not by Populists and Bryanites or avowed socialists but by the leader of the Democracy of the greatest State in the Union, a leader who was once in measurable distance of the:Presidency and who may .again be a potent factor in national poli- tics. It is therefore worth while for the whole coun- try to give heed to the issue. The safest way to avoid socialism- is to refuse to take the first step toward it. - LEVANTINE WAR CLOUDS. NLESS newsgatherers in all the capitals of I I Eirope have agreed to work up a war cloud over the Levant for an autumnal scare, there is something serious going on in that part of the world. Dispatches from London, Berlin, Vienna and St. Petersburg tell different tales, but all converge to one end, that of trouble for everybody concerned in keeping the peace in the Turkish Empire and around its borders. 3 4 When signs of disturbance were first.noted among the Bulgarians and the Macedonians the Sultan was warned to keep the peace. He proceeded to raise an army to do so, and now it is said that Russia sus- pects him of having, ulterior designs. It appears the Turk has mobilized a much larger body of men than can be profitably. used in suppressing an insurrection in Macedonia. Vienna notes also with surprise this increasing military armament of the Sultan, and while not protesting against it seems to share with Russia something more than an idle curiosity concerning it. In the meantime, while the Qzar is.advising the Sultan to be less expansive in-miilitary preparations, the Czar hjmself is developing a naval force in the Black Sea that looks menacing. to Europe.. Lately the Russian Government requested from the Turk permission for four torpedo boats to pass up the Dar- danelles, and at once London took alarm. Even a Berlin dispatch says it is the belief in that city that the desired permission is solely for the purpose: of establishing a precedent for violating the treaty of Berlin with the consent of the signatories. A correspondent of the London Times, in_com- says: “In addition to'the already large and well-ap- the work on the various new' vessels at the Sebasto- pol and Nikolaieff Admiralty. yards is being pushed forward with what is described as ‘feverish haste.” At improved type and a 6ooo-ton cruiser are reported to. be well advanced. being observed in regard to them it is difficult to ob-' tain definite information as to their success.” ~ Thus, while'the Macedonian wishes to fight and the Bulgarian is of the same mind, the his army and the Czar augments his navy and evety- body directly interested seems to be thinking of strat- agems and spoils. Evidently the situation is becom- | ing more and more interesting and the date of the | press vm to wh final collapse of the famous treaty of Berlin cannot be far off.

The total population of the United States as shown by the census (of 1900 was 76,303,387, of which there were males 39,059,242, females 37,244,145. In 1550 the figures were, males 32,315,063, females 30,754,608 and_ in 1880, males 25,578,820, fe- males 24,626,963., The State that has the greatest number of females is New York, with 3,654,114, as against 3,614,780 males. The next greatest female population is in’ Pennsylvafia, 3,097,574, In California the male population is 820,531 and the fe- male 664,522. There are ten States in the Union in which the. female population is in excess of the male, namely: Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, New Jersey, New York, North Car- Virginia. *The smallest female population is in the State of Nevada, 16,732 TO REMOVE STUMPS—D. D., City. There are several ways of destroying stumps cn a plece of land. One is to blow them up with dynamite, ancther is to pull them up, if not large, by means of a yoke of oxen, or if large, by the use of block and tackle, .If time is no object, the fol- lowing methods are recommended by agri- culturists: “In the-fall make a hole ten inches deep in the center of the stump with a one-inch auger. Put into the hole half a pound of the oil of vitrol and plug very tight. In the spring the whole stump and the roots extending through their ramifications will be found so rotten that they can be easily eradicated.” Or, “in ‘the fall make a hole in the center of the stump with an auger to the deoth of menting upon the increase of the Russian naval force, | elghteen inches.

Patenotre was popular here, and at home he was regarded as one of the rising young diplomats of the world. His engage- ment to a woman not of his country was recelved at Paris The marriage was performed at the home of Mr. Elverson : g i A on March 27, 1894, the witnesses being Sir Jullan Pauncefote, Prince Cantacuzene, the Embassador from Russia, and many other distinguished diplomats. The bridegroom was a Cath- olic, while the bride remained true to her Protestant faith. However; the ceremofity was performed by Cardinal Gibbons. The union did not please the French Government at all. “Why ‘cannot a French Embassador marry a French woman?" was asked, and for answer it determined to punish the young man w! was independent enough to choose a wife without asking Wis superior political officers at Paris anything about It.

H’r is a strange peculiarity of authors that they are always most unaccountably fearful about their best work. When Maurice Thompson finished “Alice of Old Vincennes” he was so discour- aged over it {hat he had almost determined to withhold it from the publishers altogether, when a friend read it, convineced him of its merits and persuaded him to let the public be the judge. The result has been something truly extraordinary in Amerfcan < literature. “Alice of Old Vincennes” created a big semnsation from .. the very first, and was speedily rushed upon the stage, with Virginia Harned as the star. And season after season it has been piling up money for both the actress and her manager at such a remarkable rate that the'production has never been permitted to leave New York.
