4" Tell the Truth"

The report OF the Republican ratifi-
cation meeting held in this city on the
evening OF the 25th, which appears in
the P.-I. must have been written to
order, for the enthusiasm which is rep
resented as existing on that occasion
might very properly be represented by
the algebraic sign =, and many senti-
ments attributed to the speakers, al.
though they would have been very
appropriate and polite if uttered,
found no expression by the speakers.
The correspondents report is unfair
untrue and misleading. 1t gives one
an impression that the nomination OF
Mckinley and Hobart and the adop-
ton of the gold plank met with hearty
endorsement from the Republicans OF
this city, when just the opposite is
true, and the ratification meeting,
when compared to the usual demon
stration of the party of bombast and
buster, was dismal failure. This is
the truth, as more than one OF the
party have admitted; but the P-I.'s
policy comedies with the injunction OF
Blaine when the vote of New York
was in doubt, "Claim everything
concede nothing"

In ONE THING He is RIGHT.-Pres-
ident Cleveland has no sympathy for
men who are convicted of violating
pension laws. He refused applica-
tons for pardon for three such con-
victs just before he left Washington
for Gray Gables. In the case of Paul
A. Marcellino. he wrote on the appli-
cation for pardon: "This convict was
guilty, apparently, of nearly all the
crimes and frauds denounced by our
pension laws. He seems in every way
possible to have cheated and swindled
ignorant pensioners and imposed on
the government. The punishment
melted out to him was all well-de-
served, and l cannot yield to the un.
thinking and irresponsible appeal fol
his pardon" Upon the application
for pardon for Andrew ]. Rocks the
President wrote: "This convict per
sonated a dead soldier, and through
that means procured a pension and
robbed the government. He wal
Justly dealt with by the court, anG
should suffer all the punishment
awarded to him." and upon that of S
o. w. Brandon, who was pension at
torney: Denied. l am unwilling
to pardon those who in violation o
our pension laws, overcharge appli
cants for pensions for the service
they render in substantiating thei
claims"

CONSISTENCY docs it not seem
somewhat inconsistent that the Popu.
lists should attempt to lobby Teller at
Chicago into place at the head o.
the Democratic ticket, while that
gentleman has emphatically declared
that he is Republican still on every
issue except the currency? Do they
anticipate that he would acknowledge
an obligation from the imperiousness
of this demand that would subordi
nate his party friendships in distribu-
ton of the spoils? Would not q
farmer like Bland or Boics better repre-
sent the primitive characteristics of
the Populist creed than the lawyer
Teller?

A YOUTHFUL PREACHER.-They have
a preacher at Fort Scott, Kansas, who
is undoubtedly the youngest ordained
and licensed minister of the gospel in
this or any other country. His name
is Rev. John f. lie Merritt, and he is
but thirteen years of age. He is,
however, quite as we'll posted on the
doctrinal points of the Baptist creed
as any of his confreres of mature expe-
riencc. He comes from family of
preachers in Illinois, but he was
born in Nebraska, where his father
conducted until lately a general store.
He is said to preach with an earnest
ness and fervor that is immeaeureably
enhanced by his youthful figure and
childish voice. He began his remark
able career as exhorter at revival meet.
ings. On the 7th of June, the boy
preacher performed his first marriage
service, uniting members of two OF
Fort Scott's most prominent families.
His costume is a deviation from the
"cloth" usually worn by the profession
and consists of knickerbockers, round
about jacket, rolling white collar and
buttoned shoes.

memory OF that statesman so short, OF
his nerve SO long, that he can make
such an assertion with the record oil
that memorable year emblazoned on
the page of history? Does he not
know that the business failures oil
1892 aggregated fourteen millions Of
dollars, and that there were 1898
strikes and TIC lockouts during that
disastrous year, including the Home

and children were butchered by hired

WORTH MORE THAN HER WEIGHT
IN GoLD."-Miss Edith Collins, of New
York, has just fallen heir to $7OOO,-
600. Her fortune, if in 200 per cent.
gold were piled on one side of bal
ance, Miss Collins and all her living
relatives might step upon the opposite
platform without raising the "stand-
ard unit" If 800 bills were substi-
stituted, it would take only about
two-thirds her fortune to balance her
weight, l62 pounds-leaving consider
ably over couple of millions for "pin
money" Here is a capital prize for
the etiete aristocracy over the water,
but it is to be hoped that Miss Collins
will not sell her pretty face, form and
fortune for an empty title.

A New HISTORY OF THE REBEL
LIoN.-The advance sheets of the first
part of Secret and Political History
of the Rebellion" by Fayette Hall, OF
New Haven, Conn, is before us, and
We can safely predict that if the re-
naming eleven numbers which en-
brace the scope of the work as out
lined by the prospectus, are OF equally
absorbing interest, il will create
a sensation in the world of thought.
Mr.. Hall begins with the incipiency OF
the rebellion, and of course much Of
the narrative must center about Abra-
ham Lincoln, whose election to the
Presidency was the pretext for seces-
sion. This volume does not accord to
the martyred President" that niche
in the Temple of Fame that has u.s.
ually been accorded to him, but it
shows some good reasons why modi-
fication of the public opinion may
be admissible. 1t reviews the causes
of the war from a radical Southern
standpoint, and narrates many anom-
allies in the Northern version Of
the conflict, which are at least
worthy of consideration of the honest
mind that believes in Rendering
unto Cesar the things which are
Caesars" 1t will do no hurt, at least,
to obey that admonition which reads,
"Conside- all things and hold on to
that which is good" The first num-

A Bibulous Community.

The ;. F. Examiner devotes page
OF its Sundays issue to illustration OF
the enormitv of the saloon traffic in
that city, and incidentally, the rela-
tive position it bears in comparison
with other branches OF trade. a plat OF
the business portion OF the city show
that if the $500 licensed saloons OF
San Francisco were massed together
they would occupy &c full blocks, or
one-nineteenth Of the whole area. If
these saloons were placed in straight
line, side to side, they would reach Ii
miles.
Some idea OF the amount of beer
that is annually consumed in that
metropolis may be obtained from the
enormous cask it is figured would be
required to hold it. This but would
have to to be 40 feet high and 227
feet in diameter, and filled to the brim
would hold 14,2l5, l6l gallons. The
battleship Oregon could easily float in
this cask, if partially filled, and leave
plenty OF room for couple of trans
ports of moderate tonnage. 1t would
require five ships as large as the Ore
gon to carry this beer as cargo, after
all the machinery and armament had
been removed.
A demijohn to contain the whisky
drank for similar period would have
to be Sl.9 feet high and 80 feet in d.
ameter, and hold S27 ,493 gallons.
Some idea of the size OF this huge bot
tie may be formed from the illustra-
ton, which represents two sides
broken out and four trains Of cars
abreast passing through. Loaded on
trains, the whisky consumed by the
thirsty population of San Francisco i'll
single year would fill 500 cars carry
ing $1,000 pounds each, or more than
80 trains Of ID cars each.
During the past year 1882 arrests
have been made for drunkenness, and
this includes only those who became
hopelessly drunk or quarrelsome.
Those who could carry their "jag'
without trouble were allowed to pur.
sue their way in peace, so these figures
by no means indicate the number that
have been "full" on birthdays, hol-
idays or, any other days, who were so
fortunate as not to allow their legs to
become tangled up with the sidewalk.
Police statistics show that very steady
average OF "drunks" are reported
monthly, but it invariably raises in
December, when the cornwall season
is at its height and the determination
to make New Years resolution
doubtless opens the door to special in
diligence as preparatory measure for
| remuneration of q cherished vice.
The police department says that
this 1G miles of saloons do not pay
their cost, from the reason that it is
now the custom to discharge all re-
spectable-appearing drunkards, in the
morning. without taking them into
the police court for trial. The theory
of the Judges is that imprisonment
over night is enough punishment for
the man who overestimates his capac-
ity and takes glass or two too much.
This may be humane, but it reduces
the revenue which years ago more
than paid police expenses, and the
officers who have made the relation OF
the saloon to crime study favor in
creasing the retail license fee.

DISSATISFIED WITH HOBART The
more that becomes known about Ho.
bart the more Republican dissatisfac-

by Hanna for the second place on the
ticket. At first it was thought that

accepted without protest by the rank
and file Of the Republican party, but
since the newspapers of the country
have been throwing their searchlight
upon HObart's record there is regu.
lar Republican howl all along the line
They may not be able to force him of
the ticket, but it is certain that had
they known as much at st. Louis as
they do now, that the Blaine Republi.
cans in that convention would never
have allowed Garret Hobart to be nom.
mated for Vice President, and it is
doubtful whether Hanna would have
asked such a thing of the convention
had he known that Hobart not only
bolted the nomination of Blaine, in
the 'S4 campaign, but furnished a con-
siderable part of the money to pay
campaign expenses OF Ben. Butler
whose running was factor in the
election of Mr.. Cleveland. The Blaine
Republicans we're not any too vel
disposed towards Mckinley anyway
and, now that they know the par
played by Hobart in keeping their lido
out of the White House, nobody neet
be surprised if thousands of them
knife the whole ticket in November.
