a MORE absurd proposition was never
put forward than that of the mutinous
musicians of the National Guard in San
Francisco, that they have equities on their
side, and desire Labor Commissioner Tobin
TO investigate the whole matter and report
to the public Just what were the causes of
the recent mutiny. The Labor Com
missioner has no authority to engage in
any such an investigation, and if he does
50 he will exceed his powers The affair
Is a military one, with which the civil
authority has nothing to do. But if he
should investigate and make public his
findings, and should come to the Judgment
that the bands were justified in refusing to
obey the commands of their officers, what
would it amount to- It would be simply
the opinion OF Mr.. Tobin, nothing more.
To claim for it any virtue whatever would
be TO subject the officials of the National
Guard, with the Governor at its head, to
the power of a subordinate official of the
civic order who has no authority to en-
force any judgment at which he may ar
rive. The bandmen declare that all they
want to know is where the blame rests for
this tangle in which they are involved.
That is very simple and easily answered
question. The blame rests with the
soldiers who refused to obey the commands
of their superior officers issued in due
form, and within the scope Of authority
All the so-called causes lying back of that
disobedience have nothing to do with the
case. The one and only question is, did
these musicians refuse and neglect to obey
orders? There the inquiry begins, and

Production and Consumption OF Spir1tu-
Gus and Malt Liquors.
WASHINGTON, July 10th.--The Treasury
Department to-day issues a statement
showing the production and consumption
of spirituous and malt liquors in the United
States and foreign countries.
France consumes the largest amount of
wine per capita, Great Britain leads on
beer per capita, Germany second and the
United States a close third. On spirituous
liquors Denmark has the largest.
The total production of distilled spirits
in the United States increased from IT.
000. 900 gallons in 1865 to ~ 100000 gallons
in 1888, and fermented liquors from 3,100,-
600 barrels to "a 700, 900 barrels in the same
period. Sixteen million bushels of grain
and 100000 gallons of molasses were used
last year in the manufacture of the distilled
potion.
The consumption of distilled spirits de-
creased from so 100000 gallons in 1870 to

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution recently
contained an article in which it was stated
that when the Legislature of the State
should meet, in few days from that time,
two new and beautiful State flags would be
tioated over the Capitol, one over the SEN
ate and one over the Assembly Chamber,
and that these flags will be given to the
breeze whenever the houses are in session.
There is nothing to prevent State hav-
ing flag, or to inhibit it floating the same
whenever the proper authority so directs.
But the fact is that flags are so few, and so
seldom seen or mentioned, that we do not
believe there are ten men in the State of
California to-day who can tell what the
flag of any particular State is, or what
States have flags. What is the matter
with the stars and stripes, the one supreme
and unapproachable emblem of nationality
and freedom, Recognized as such the world
over, and that commands respect where
ever displayed? Why is it that the flag
of the free is displaced over any Capitol of
any State OF the Union by a local symbol,
which, beyond its own limited atmosphere,
is unknown and uninspiring? We venture
the assertion that one may travel east,
west and north, visit all Capitol buildings
and other public edifces, and discover no
other flag thrown to the breeze above
them, than the national emblem of free
and united people, with every star in the
armament of blue shining with undimin-
ished luster. Thank heaven, California
has no State flag, and she wants none.
old Glory" is good enough for her, and
nothing shall displace it.

KATE FIELD has done the country ma
terial service by sharp and straightfor-
ward paper in the North American Reyier,
in which she has collated the testimony
that establishes American ignorance and
governmental neglect of Alaska. The pa
per will do more to awaken attention and
bring the public to inquire concerning our
most northern territory than official docu-
ments and labored reports. The truth is
that we have shamefully neglected the
territory, and that we have not at all done
our duty by the people of that region.
There are possibilities for Alaska that are
now thought of by but the few, and that
fully justify the forethought of Mr.. Sew
ard, who saw in the purchase he con-
summated immense gain and advantage to
this country.

New YORK, July 10th.-Duncan A. Mac.

Three Rebellions a Dsy.

Three rebellions, obstinate, though
bloodless, occur in the stomach of the dys-
peptic who partakes of food thrice a day.
The digestive organ refuses on each occa-
sion to perform the duty assigned to it by
nature, and trouble ensues. How discip-
line, how regulate it? Simply with a
wineglassful of the genial invigorant and
appetizer, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, be-
fore each meal and before retiring. Diges-
ton will, after a course of this pleasant
regulator, become easy, and its forerunner
appetite, also improve. Nervousness and
insomnia, always induced by chronic dys-
pepsia, will disappear with its disappear
ance thus insured, and constipation and
biliousness, its usual attendants, also take
their leave. Not only will the system
acquire strength, but also substance by a
more perfect assimilation of the food.
Rheumatism, malarial and kidney COM
plant and neuralgia yield to the Bitters.

THE Albany Journal, remarking upon an
indecent and unwarranted sheer at the
love Of the President for his grandchild,
says: Reputable newspapers will respect
the sanctity of the home circle of Presi-
dent Harrison" Yes, and of the home
circle of any other man. There is not one
whit more of reason why the privacy of
the Presidents domestic hearth should not
be invaded by the Paul Pry press than
why any other citizens family circle
should not be trespassed upon but, on the
other hand, there is no reason why the
purely private affairs of the household of
any man who has not offended against the
law, or who has not invited public ar
raignment of himself and family, should
be dragged before the public gaze. The
sensational press, however, proceeds upon
the theory that anything whatever that
will crafty morbid curiosity or a prying
disposition is legitimate prey for it.

THERE is always increased danger from
socialism when it takes up and promotes a
really commendable reform. In Belgium
the elective franchise is so limited that
not one-tenth of the adult male population
can avail it. The Socialists seeing the
opportunity to popularize themselves and
thus gain better footing among the
masses, are now leading in an agitation in
tended to secure enlargement of the voting
privilege. If the extension is granted the
Socialists will claim all the credit for it.
This fact the Government thoroughly ap-
preciates, and it may defeat that, which,
under other championship, would have
been granted without much demur.
