The smallness of the Democratic admin
istration is hard TO understand. Some
months ago the mail carrier between Red
mond and Toit was instructed by the post
office department to supply the Novelty
Office at pro rata remuneration. or $50 per
mile per annum. Now the department is
allowing for only three miles extra travel.
whereas the distance travelled is between
seven and eight miles. There cannot be
any possible excuse for such action on the
part of the postofiice department. as the
postmasters at both Tolt ana Novelty have
atiested TO the fact that the distance is
over seven miles. Another claim that
might be made by the contractor is the
fact that at the limo the contract was
made out tho Tolt Office was situated near
Lords hotel and was distant from Red
mond ten miles, but over year ago Ii
was removed TO the store of w. A. Fauids,
which increases the distance to eleven
miles. making one mile OF travel for which
no compensation is given to the carrier.

THE NON-PARTISAN EXPERIMENT

The Non-PartiSan movement now in
progress is based upon the assumption
that citizens who want good government
will vote as they think. All they ask of
government Is judicious expenditure of
public money for the purpose for which it
is paid into the treasury. These men can
vote without being LED to the polls by the
active workers who want to aid 10 the
distribution or public money. If there are
not citizens enough in favor of honest and
efficient government 10 vote without being
led up to the polls the Nom Partisan ticket
will be defeated. 1t will not attempt to
construct the machinery upon which the
old parties depend for success. 1t will n OF
have much money to spend, and will not
bleed candidates to get more. 1t will
make no entangling alliances with cor
pOratiOns. 1t will not sell nomiu atoms to
Office nor agree to sell franchises. The
men at the head OF it are n OF office-seekers {;
their interest in the movement is limited
10 a citizens desire for honest and efficient
government. A good ticket will be pre-
scented, which voters will support or not
as seems to then best. There are no prizes
offered for votes. The N ovement is in the
nature of an experiment to ascertain If the
voters of San Francisco are as deeply in
terested in good government as they thin K
they are when they suffer from bad gov

THE WAY TO PUNISH.

The Carnegie Company is now trying to
throw the blame for defective plates
on the Navy Department. The ground
taken is that as the navy had men on the
lookout the company trusted to them TO
see that only good work was passed. This
defense has had lis turaI effect upon the
temper of Secretary Herbert. He does not
like TO be held responsible for a fraud
which causes general disteust of the
fighting qualities of the new navy. In
ordinary affairs officials charged vi b the
protection Of society and the punishment
OF criminals depend a good deal upon the
lettering effect of visiting upon offenders
the penalty the law pronounces upon the
crime of which they may have been guilty.
The purpose of punishment is not revenge,
but prevention. The man who has com
mltted murder is hanged to warn other
men from committing murder. Acting
upon this principle nothing would be more
likely to prevent other frauds in the pro-
duction Of armor plate than the punish
ment of the respon sible officials Of the
Carnegie Company. The excuse that there
is no law for the case will disappear
should Secretary Herbert get real angry.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The Fresno ErpOsitOr should bear in
mind that the successful prosecution of the
beet sugar Industry on this coast, to which
The CALL recently alluded, was under the
protective system. Although there was
no bounty the home producer had the ad-
vantage of the 27a per cent duty which
was imposed on al foreign sugar, except
that produced in Hawaii. Foreseeing the
ruin that would overtake the industry if
left exposed TO foreign com petition the
trainers OF the Mckinley tariff gave a 2
cent bounty as the equivalent of the duty.
Up to the present time there has been
duty on foreign sugar or bounty paid to
the home product. 1t is probable that
more beet sugar will be turned out this
year than ever before, but it is not prob
able that profits will be as large. The
price of beets has been reduced. but in
view OF the decreasing profits in wheat beet
sugar growers will Doubtless accept the
reduction and make the most of it. Most
people have become modest on the subject
OF profits since the Democrats came into
power. The grand purpose now is to earn
a living. Under the bounty farmers ade
from $50 to $50 an acre on land devoted to
sugar beets. Under the present law they
may make $40 to $50, according to The
character of land and methods of cultiva-
lion. But this is better than growing
grain or feeding Cat le. As for sheep,
once a profitable animal 10 own in this
State, their principal value now is derived
from the fact that their carcasses COM
mand fair price in the meat market.

SORRY FOR THEIR SINS.

Politicians from both political parties are
reproachiBg each other for the heavy Our-
den of taxation that has been fastened
upon the State and the counties in the
State. SO far as the Republican and Dem
Ocratic parties are concerned there does
not seem to be much choice 10 respect TO
expenditures. The fact that Repu blican
Governor and Democratic Legislature
have existed at the same time has given
the Democrats chance TO throw some OF
their sins upon the shoulders of political
opponents. In point OF fact neither party
has in this respect decent record. The
waste Of money has passed the limits OF
extravaganza and become downright dis
honesty. During the LIST six years the
average Stale expenditure has been $780,
900. With total assessed value OF $l,2O.-
goo. 900, $500, 600 is absorbed in Stale
taxes. The county and municipal govern
mcnts run the total up to So. 100000 a year.
There is no pot and no kettle In this case.
The two parties have been equally culpa-
BILE. With here and there an except N

IS EUROPE TO CONTRoLa

Philadelphia Inquirer asks: What would
he have the country do when Europe,
hearing of the adoption by this country OF

tutes proceedings to foreclose upon the
properties against which she holds some
thing like 100000. 0OO?" Whether or not
the Governor of Georgia has an answer to
this conundrun, he may in turn ask the
Inquirer if the financial prlicy of the
United States is dictated by the European
holders of securities amounting TO $780,
O0O, 900. 1t has been roughly estimated
that the depreciation of values since May.
1898, is $4,000, OO0, 900. This is ten times
as much as the Inquirer holds over the
head of Congress as threat in case 1t
pnrsues a certain plicy. While the bulk
of the depreciation may be ascribed to
apprehensions of free trade. there are
people who think the appreciation of gold

NJ. lola ON LETTERS.

NJ. lola is reported to have lately said
that literature was closed career" lie
added that ''everything has been written.
The ground has been plowed over and
over again Ia every direction. success has
become impossible, and writer's who try
TO be original write in order TO succeed"
Ii NJ. lola did utter these sentences he
furnished new Illustration of the truth
that a writer may be master of fictio0
without understanding the temper or the
conditions of the times in which he lives.
NJ. ZJla's proposition is old, very old.
1t was a trite observation in the time OF
Cicero. And yet it is false, for the simrIe
reason that it ignores the progress Of the
world not only in the material but in the
mental scien ces. Change is the law of ex-
istence in the spiritual as in the phys cal
world. Views which were held to be true
century ago are now known 10 be false.
Modes Of thought have altered. Events
do not strike people as they once did. New
PHILOSOPHERS spring up and uproot the old
philosophers. Opinions have undergone
such a metamorphosis that the admiration
which the eloQuence Of the cid writer's
rouses is lost in amazement at the fallacies
they cherished. Ii there is a branch Of
letters which night be supposed 10 rest on
fixed immutable bases 1t is that which de-
lineates love and passion, which have been
the same ever since the human heart was
created. Yet the reader Of cid novels is
appalled, to observe how cuTlDuslY these
topics used to be handled even so recently
as a century ago. The novel-reader of to-
day falls asleep over Pamela" and many
other fctions of that day. The emotions
they described are the same as those which
Thomas Hardy has to deal with, but how
different the treatment.
Instead of saying that everything has
been written, and every field has been
plowed, NJ lola should have said that
every thing has to be written, and every
field is waiting for the modern steam
plow. The whole territory is virgin and
awaits exploration by him who can see II
with end-centurY eyes. Shortly before his
death, Lord Tennyson said that in the
centuries to come not only would the Eng
lsh language have changed so that his
poems could not be understood without a
glossary, but the English mind would have
undergone such transformations that his
reasoning would create wonder.
1t is left for the American writer of our
day--if he can do 80 without starving by
the waysde--to adjust the events and to
some extent the tarature of the past TO
our ripened understanding. If he under
takes the task he is much more likely 10
be embarrassed by the richness than by
the scarcity of his material
