THE CITY CREDITORS.

One of the worst features of our munich
pal fairs is the debt owed by the City to
creditors whose claims are in every re-
specr just and fair and yet which the City,
by the technicalities of law, cannot pay,
even though 1t wishes to do so and is
abundantly able to do it. 1t would be
hard to find a greater travesty upon JUS
tice and law than is exhibited in this sit
uation, and it certainly is most desirable
that some remedy for the evil be found
and the debt be paid.
Whatever course the lawyers of the
creditors may be able to find for getting
their clients and the City out of the tangle
will in all probability find a cordial sup
port from the people generally. There
will be certainly no opposition from fair
men to any policy that promises a fair set
Element of these municipal obligations.
1t is believed that direct vote of the peo-
pie would, If given in the affirmative. be
sufficient to authorize the payment of the
debts. If that is so then by all means let
us have one. San Francisco cannot afford
to defraud her creditors even when the
curiosities of law seem intended to pre-
vent her from paying her debts. She
justly owes the money and her people will
vote to pay it.

A FREE MARKET NEEDED.

The demand for free public fruit and
vegetable market in San Francisco is about
great enough to brush aside all objection.
The enormous receipts of fruit in the last
few days, and the dumping of tons of it in
the bay because there were not buyers
enorgh at standard prices 20 consume the
supply, have created sentiment for free
market that is bound to grow until mar
ket is established. The poor are not al
ways able to buy fruit at standard prices,
and until there is place where the fruit
grower can take his goods and deal direct
with consumers the bay will continue to
be a depository for fruit.
1t is reflection upon San Francisco to
have tons and tons of the best fruit in the
world wantonly destroyed, simply be-
cause there is no way by which the fruit
grower can reach the consumer; besides,
if there was free market the poor could
always supply their needs at prices which
they could afford to pay, but they are be-
ing denied advantages that should accrne
to them, and growers are being deprived
of the right to sell, because the consumer
and the fruit-grower have no common
meeting ground. 1t is to be hoped that
the agitation of the question, which seems
to have begun in earnest, will increase un-
til ample free market facilities are pro-
vided.

to exercise its power in the defense OF
shops mills and factories against similar
industrial enterprises in other countries.
He insists that American wage-earners
shall face the low-wage labor of Europe
and go to the wall if they cannot stand
the competition, but owners of silver
mines shall have their profits doubled.
He dem ands that our farmers shall stand
upon equal footing with South American
and Russian farmers in our own markets,
but those who happen to own silver
producing land shall be made the Govern
ment's favorites. 1t is not free silver COIN
age to increase the volume of our money
that Mr.. Bryan wants, but to increase the
market price of silver. Mr.. Bryan is the
friend of silver mine owners, but be is not
the friend of any other business interest
of the United States. What Mr.. Bryan
demands for Americans is free silver coin
age without any safeguards; free Amerl-
can markets for the worlds pauper labor
product; free American markets for
foreign farm products and wool. and free
American markets for the finished product
of the industries of every country on the
earth. If American farmers. mechanics
and labor are DESTROYS OF conditions OF
that kind they will be sure to have them
if they will give Bryan the chance to
''raze the National custom-houses to the
proundn

WHEN MCKINLEY WAS A COOK

Chicago Record
Speaking of Mckinley" remarked a voy-
ager from Kansas. "did any of you fellows
ever hear that he used to De cook?'
"No." responded the chorus.
'sWell, he was" retorted Kansas. "That's
straight He was once a cook and he got $13
month wages"
'What are you givin' us?" asked a quiet
young student from Columbia College who had
been out in the copper mines at Butte.
Whereupon there was hearty laugh and
several irrelevant suggestions were offered,
when the Kansan resumed:
There's fellow by the name of Wagner out
in our town who claims that William McKin-
ley, who is now candidate for the Presidency,
used to cook for him and that he was the worst
cook he ever ate after. His biscuits were as
heavy as lead and his coffee was like the Mis-
souri, River-all color and no taste. He could
fry bacon pretty well. Wagner says, but any,
body can fry bacon. All you've got to do is to
put it in the skillet and turn it over now and
then"
Where was this cooking P" asked the Paw
tucket man. ''They were camping out, weren't
they?'
"Yes; down in West Virginia during the
war. Wagner was q member of the Twenty
third Ohio Infantry, which was McKinley's
regiment, and belonged to Company K. Nc
Kinley was detailed as company cook, and the
meu kicked so hard that they got him pro-
NOTED to commissary sergeant, so that he had
to hustle for the grub, while some one else
cooked it +"

THE COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

The action OF the Merchants Associa-
ton in appealing to the State Board OF
Equalization against any increase in the
assessed valuation of San Francisco prop
erty is matter of no little importance to
honest tax. payers. The association asks
for an extension of two weeks time IN
which to prepare statements and evidence
for submission to tie board, and this being
granted the case OF the county is by no
means hopeless, for on the very face and
open showing of the facts there are valid
and sufficient reasons why the assessment
should not be raised.
The resolutions adopted at the meeting
in the assem- bly-room of the Mills build
ing on Monday make clear enough state
ment of the main facts involved IN the
issue. They set forth that the assessed
valuation of property in this county ex-
ceeds in many instances its actual value,
and that in spite of the general hard times
and depression in values of all property
the assessment roll has been raised in the
present fiscal year about $50, 00O, GOO over
that of last year. The valuation of prop
erty in San Francisco is comparatively
higher than in other counties of the State
add anything further to the burden OF
taxation upon property-owners.
The evil of the threatened increase of
taxation is the more serious because the
Board of Supervisors has permitted sew
eral of the richest corporations in San
Francisco to play the part OF tax-shirkers.
thus throwing an undue proportion of
taxation upon honest taxpayers. This
wrong of the Supervisors cannot be RENE
died by the Board of Equalization, and
therefore if the assessment of the county
is raised it will still be the honest tax
payers on whom the burden will fall and
many of them are already carrying as
heavy burdens as they can stand. The
action of the Merchants Association is in
the direction of protecting the interests
of the county and the rights of honest tax
payers and is entitled to the most respect
full consideration from the Equalizers.

do better In Alaska than here. They can get
$40 day there-that is, good miners can.
But the best they can do they can't work over
fifty Gays, the seasons are so short. Frost
comes on and shuts everything down. Fifty
days is q big average.
Then, it costs man 5000 to $500 for
years outfit He has got TO pay for his food
and clothing whether he works or not.
Grub into the camps sometimes costs as
much as 40 cents pound for freight. This is
on top of the original cost in Circlevflle or
Forty Mile. There supplies cost about like
this: Flour, So; bacon, 80 to 35 cents a
pound. sugar, 25 cents; tea, 81; beans. IL to
10 cents, and dried fruit from % to 80 cents.
'Beans, bacon, flour, sugar and dried fruit
constitute the principal food. 1t all depends
how short the supply gets whether you have
to pay more. AS the supply gets short the
price is raised.
81 suppose there are about 200 people in
Forty Mile now. Last winter 500 men win
tered at Circle City. OF course there are a
great many men scattered out In the hills
from these points,
cat this time of the year, and for some time
hitherto the pine and hemlock trees are all
leafed out, and the country looks well. There
is grass of different kinds, too, but in winter
ali this is changed. AS said, wouldn't at
tempt to advise anybody about Alaska. 1t is
better that people do as they please"
