of San Francisco has nearly 5000 drink
ing places where papers are taken.
But these are included in the Spring
Valley Water Company's enumeration
of houses supplied with water To find
IN city of 10000 voters 10000 people
who have daily newspapers delivered to
them every morning and evening is a
very liberal estimate.
The advertiser, therefore, who pays
a rate based on 10000 subscribers is
paying for from 10000 to $4,000 dupli-
cations and Implications of subscrip-
ton. For the number of its inhabit-
ants and the volume of its commercial
transactions, San Francisco is the
poorest advertising field in the United
States. The most of it's lines Of bust
ness are monopolized by a few men.
In the wholesale dry goods line there
are but two firms; in hardware there
are but two; in paints and oils one
principal house; in carpeting and
house furnishing but four or five
houses; in stoves and tinware but two
or three. The smallness Of the number
of houses is due to the fact that large
capital is required to do business in San
Francisco and the absence of competi-
tior absolves mercantile houses from
the necessities of advertising.
Under these circumstances, we do not
believe that the great newspapers of
San Francisco We're built up by purely
legitimate business. The legitimate in
come of a newspaper is limited to re-
ceipts from advertising and subscrip-
tions. We take the liberty of declaring
that no paper in San Francisco has
been built up, or is maintained by this
restriction, and in this assertion we do
not even hazard the remote probability
of contradiction at the hands Of any.

blowing people are never heard of until
the officers of the law or some of the
heroic societies which care for animals
Or children make an exceptional ar
rest for an exceptional crime Then
these loud-mouthed philanthropists ex-
claim in thunder tones, and their first,
and generally their only utterance is in
denunciation of the courts and declara-
lions that the machinery of the law is
inefficient and its officers untrust-
worthy. These people make honest
folks very tired 1t is no evidence of
superior virtue or exceptional good
citizenship that these people are public
spirited mostly with their mouths. If
they would be less spasmodic in their
virtuous Indignation, and give more of
daily concern to public abuses and their
correctives, they would receive far more
of credit and do a great deal more of good.
But their efforts in public interest ap-
pear to be spasmodic. Just now they
are terribly indignant over the charges
preferred against certain men for
tampering with little girls. But this
wave of Indignation will subside, and
the enthusiasm and ill-directed energy
of the hysterical reformers will sink to
low level of peace and quiet in a few
days, while the same sort of crime will
continue, as it has for long time past,
and as of old the heroic humane socie-
ties will continue their work of fighting
it and of begging of these people in vain
for material assistance. The simple
truth is that these spasms of virtue are
