ROASTING A BRIION.

SAN FRANCISCO, September /, 1897.
Editor Morning Call - DEAR SIR: Will you
please allow me short space in your great
paper, as wish to reply to the article which
appeared in your valuable paper and signed
"a Briton." The author Of the article claims
that We are too young country to think of
going to war with such great nation as Eug-
land, as she is an old country. l wish the
author will permit me to state that will
admit that our country is young, but hope
that when our country will be as old old
England that we will not have the universal
reputation of being the most cowardly,
british and robbing nation, as England has
shown herself to be.
With her large navy and her prowess she has
never shown the courage OF Servia or Greece,
who each fought Turkey separately, or Den
mark, who fought Austria and Prussia-Ger-
many, 1864. Eugland's method of fighting is
In ASIA and Africa she sends races against
races, ard after the war is over she builds
panoramas and claims all the victory and
glory to herself, even going SO far as TO send
out lecturers to the people to tell what great
fighting they have done, while Others did the
real fighting.
1t is true that we are a young country, but
anything belonging to England on this con IT,
nent we can get we can take without fig hting,
as England will only talk and not fight. But
should we be called upon to go to war, we do
not need other nations to help us, as we fear
no friend nor foe, but we Will show the world
that we are fighters and we fear no nation,
particularly England. Hoping that you will
publish THIS, very sincerely yours,

interesting Information on the subject In
the office the ordinary dullness of the dreary
waste OF wine-bottles was relieved here and
there by bundles OF he bright straw bonnefs
which had given rise to the dlscussion-dainty
and expensive creations, with wide brims and
high conical crowns. and closely related in
sh ape both to the old hats of the Puritans and
those OF the peasant wives OF Wales. as this
the latest fashion%' asked the reporter, pick
ing one of them up and shaking out the gay
ribbons of red and blue which fell from the
crown.
"Quite the latest, assure you," answered
Mr.. Haye. when Mr.. Percy first introduced
them to Londou-that was two years ago this
summer, believe-he adopted the 'Trflby'
hat; but that, of course, is now dreadfully out
OF date. The idea itself is taken from the Con-
tinent,where the bonnets are used extensively
in some places. New samples came from Bor-
deaux at the beginning OF the present season,
and Mr.. Percy, while making use OF their
shape, decided to have the bonnets themselves
made>1n England-from purely patriotic mo-
nves, of course. So he placed large order
with one of the Luton manufacturers, and
there is little doubt that the bonnets which
have just been turned out there are better in
every way than the samples sent from France
apiece
-"All our own horses wear them already, and
Mr.. Percy gives his cabman one every time he
drives home from the Office
''And do they all fall in with the idea?"
asked our representative, mindful of his own
caDby outside.
''Well, we do not like this We first ask the
driver to have q drink-for a drink, as you
know, is a key to every mans heart-and then
we fix the bonnet on his horses head for him.
OF course, the men have to put up with a good
deal OF chaff, but they soon get used to that,
and most of them who have had the bonnets
swear by them now. AS for the horses they
seem 10 think no end of themselves as they
cock their ears through the holes in the
brims, which, as you see, are brought down
over their heads by the ribbons, and these,
being tied under the chin. make practically a
Victorian bonnet of the affair"

ENGLAND'S DEPENDENCE.
PhiIadelphi telegram.

Current statistics show that our commercial
relations with England are becoming one-sided
to degree that must attract the attention OF
thinking minds on both sides of the sea. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80 our
exports to Great Britain amounted to $47S.-
44S,592. This is nearly as much as we sent
out to all cou tries together, the sum being
1887 per cent of the entire amount of our
export trade. Our English. speaking friends
are not only our best customers, but they are
within fraction of being better customers
than all the rest of ;he world.
On the other hand, we are not their best
customers by Il long way. For the past fiscal
wear our purchases from them amounted to
$167, 947 $40, making trade balance in our
favor OF 1910 500,772. We buy from others
more than we do from them, their bills
