WHY DOES He HIDE?

The Examiner of yesterday made an
effort to set up before the public de-
tense in the suit which has been brought
against it by John Riley. Whether the
defense is valid or not can be decided only
by trial in court. Ifthe Examiner thinks
it is good there should be Willingness on
the part OF its proprietors to meet Mr..
Riley before Judge and jury and bring
the matter to an issue and settlement.
This is what Mr.. Riley has been seeking.
II is what the Examiner has been evading.
1t has been impossible. it seems, for Mr..
Riley, as for several others in this State,
to find either Mr.. Hearst o. any one to
represent him. Tne absconding Jour-
nalist has in this City the means and the
agents to do wrong, but none to be
answerabIe for the wrong. Mr.. Riley's
suit is still pending. Mr.. Hearst is still
in hiding. The Examiner declares Mr..
Hearst has a good defense. This being
so, the question is inevita bic, why, then,
does he hide?"

WHEAT IN EUROPE.

The big surplus wheat crop OF the
United States will be bonanza for our
farmers and a godsend to Europe, which
must look to America alone fer her sup
ply. 1t was believed that Russia could
be depended on to help out the other
countries OF Europe in the matter OF
breadstuffs, but now comes the word that
the Cars Government is about TO pro-
mulgate q decree prohibiting the exporta-
ton of wheat on account OF the small
crops in Southern Russia.
There is very little reserve wheat in
Europe, which is actually reduced TO
consideration OF means of subsistence for
its millions of population. The price OF
bread has risen gradually until in the
cities of France, for instance, the poor
people are clamoring against the duty on
VIII eat, and demand the removal of the
exaction in order to keep down the price
of bread as much as possible. Repeal
the wheat laws" threatens to become an
election cry there, just as Repeal the
corn laws" was the cry in England fifty
years ago.
1t is recognized in France that America
is the only country with any wheat to sellat
present; but leading Gallo statesmen are
averse to the abolition of the port duty,
it being argued that the Situation is the
result OF natural causes and that TO do
away with the duty would simply mean
so much more money for the American
speculator.
The advance in bread, however, has
irred up an immense opposition 10 the
French Government on this particular
point, and if the price goes higher the
agitation may obtain such strength as to
compel President Faure 10 take advant-
age OF an emergency law and suspend the
wheat duty for period.
The European nations, whether they
love US or not, must this year pour their
gold into the American sack 10 get bread
enough to last them ill next season. If a
war starts up on that continent just
across the Atlantic presently there is no
telling how aff1uent the American farmer
may become. Agriculture in this coun-
try has taken wonderful boom this year.
and there are strong indications that we
shall see good prices for cereals in the
wear to come,

THE CAUSE OF PROSPERITY

During the Cleveland administration,
and especially after the Wilson free-trade
law went into effect, The press and the
orators Of the Democratic party taxed
their thinking capacity 10 frame excuses
for the hard times which came upon the
country instead OF the goo1 times which
they had predicted. Far from showing
any signs of improvement, things went
from bad to worse. Business became
stagnant, banks failed, mills and factories
closed their doors and armies of idle men
marched here and there praying for bread
or work. Dread uncertainty prevailed in
the money market, development of indus
tries came TO a standstill, and trade and
commerce suffered.
And yet the people had been told that
the most f1ourishIne periods known to our
countrv's history would be small affairs
in comparison with the glorious days Of
happiness and abundance that were des.
tined 10 follow the passage OF the Wilson
bill. Too late the people awoke TO the
fact that they had been grossly deceived
TOO late to ward off those Calamities Of
which every body knows, but which have
been bahished from the Nation along
with ruinous free trade.
Last fail we were told by those same
prophets that if Major Mckinley were
chosen President it would mean beggary
for the masses and dire disaster for the
American Republic. Yet, with the in
coming of a prote ctive administration.
the clouds of uncertainty disappeared
from the Nations skies and the sun Of
IN tad T1pr Co
all his numerous family.
Now, since everybody has begun to re-
ioioe, since capital is being turned loose
on every hand. since the wheels OF indus
try are whirring and labor is in demand,
those same worshipers OF the false god Of
free trade are loudly bowling to the peo-
pie that protection has nothing to d % with
the country's present prosperity; that it
has been brought about altogether by The
rise in thu price of wheat and by the gold
finds on the Klondike. sflr as the mtu-
eral discoveries in the Arctic regions go
they have made no appreciab!e difference
thus far in the condition OF any very
considerable portion of the country, But
wheat, golden wheat, has brought mil
lions upon millions of dollars to the farm
ers OF the great West. Is the prosperity
of the whole country, then, due to the rise
in wheat?
The best answer is found in the words
of President Mckinley, who, with that
soundness and sim piicity chara racteristic
of the man, speaks 10 his countrymen as
follows:
"The cause OF the present boom in the
West is undoubtedly due in great m cas-
ure to large crops and high prices caused
by the failure Of crops in other countries.
But the fact that prosperity has set in in
the East cannot be accounted for in any
other way than by the wise policy of the
Republican party in restoring protective
tariff. The present boom is not spasmo-
die. but will continue to increase, and no..
only the manufacturers but the people
generally will soon realize that it is only
with protective tariff and sound tinan-
cial principles that the country will be
prosperous and remain in that condition.
With the restoration of confidence will
come the restoration of prosperity"

PUBLIC BATHS.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. august 2

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, August %, 1897
Dear Sir: With reference to the subject OF
municipal ownership of public utilities, so
much discussed nowadays, there is an article
on the subject of pubic baths and wash
houses in the Bulletin of Labor ISSUED by Car
roll D. WrighO for July that is we'll worthy OF
attention.
1t is an old saying that cleanliness is next to
godliness. and 1t is quite certain that uncIean
conditions and surroundings have decided
effects upon character and morals. The man
whose person, clothes and environments are
dirty is naturally Stunned, and as result he
soon loses confidence IN himself loses his SELF
respect and moral character.
Very few people care to be dirty and covered
with vermin; certainly no one likes to be
summed 1t is therefore obvious that men
are dirty in the great ma jority OF cases simply
and so ely because they haven't the means 10
get clean.
The thousands of men who sleep in the
ana lO cent lodging g-houses that are now De-
coming so numerous have but little facilities
Tor even woshing their hands and faces ana
absolutely none for washing their Dodles.
The same poverty that comp pels them to sleep
in 10-cent lodging houses denies them the
means of washing their persons and clotnes
1t is idle to deny this or bubble upon the
subject. Since tho Lick Bath managers raised
the price from to 10 cents there has been
very great deere ase in the number of bathers,
thus proving that even 10 cents is too much
lor No any people.
From the description of public bath and
wash houses in England Tin The article 10
which 1 referred) it seems that person can
get swimming bath for cents ana hot
bath for 2 cents. The wasnhouses are fitted
with boilers. tubs, wringers, dryers, mangles
and f1at-irons, by which woman (or many can
wash. dry and iron an entire fam1iy's wash In
about one hour (the clothes are dried i'll about
ten minutes), and the cost is only cents.
Consider what an improvement such an ar
rangement is; no damp SLOPPY, rooms. no
wet clothes hanging up for two CT three days
TO dry, the inevitable accompaniments OF
home washing.
One hundred and ninety-one English towns
have these public bath and wash houses.
They do not cos so much as some people
may think. For ins tance, the total cost OF one
Of the esla blishments in London, where land
is very dear, was $174, 1914. including the cost
OF the land. This establishment had one first
class swimming bath. 132 by DO feet, with 14O
dressing cabins; one second-ciass swim ming
bath, 100 by 30 Ieet, with sevonty-one cabins.
and one women's swimming hath. 20 by %
Ieet, besides 108 private tub-bath rooms, and
a wasnhouse and laundry with accommoda-
ton for forty-nine C c.othes-washers at once.
The most expensive public estab ishmeut OF
this nature in London cost only 1920 15l.
Hoping that the foregoing Will attract some
attention TO this subject, yours tru y.

MR.. BRYAN's DEFENDERS.

The swift alignment OF the Examiner
and Post in strident defense of Mr.. Bryan
for riding upon a Southern Pacific pass
during his recent tour OF California is a
spectacle for gods and men. Has the
ETHIOPIAN changed his skin or the leopard
his spots that the railroad and its noisy
assaiIant should thus unite in defending
Mr.. Bryan's use OF passes ION advertising
account
The excuse which the Examiner offers
for Mr.. Bryan that the pass "was such a
little one" has not even the. merit of be-
ing new. Every petty offender employs
it when brought to bar. and while con-
cealins the number of times he has sim.
ilarly sinned, asks for clemency upon the
ground of the smaIlness of the single
charge. Neither Mr.. Bryan nor his twin
defenders have confessed how many
passes he made use OF in his extensive
railroad travel through California, nor, in
fact, throughout the entire country.
If the truth were known it would proba-
bly, appear that the advertising account of
the World-Herold with the Southern Pa
cifc and other railroad corporations of the
country was a rather overworked indus
try. This especially in view of the fact
that according to the most recent and re-
liable advices the Southern Pacific Com
pany had done no advertising with the
World Herald, and that, in consequence.
its account" is by virtue of Mr.. Bry an 8
pass an altogether one-sided affair.
There are other queries which arise in
this connection which it might be well for
the new aggregation OF Mr.. Bryan's de-
tenders TO consider. What right has e
stockholder of a newspaper corporation
to receive railroad passes upon an adver-
tising account? Is that method of draw
ing down dividends not a species of fraud
upon the other stockholders of the con-
csrn? Again, what sort of consistency
does Mr.. Bryan display in demanding
that the railroad shall pay its debt to the
Government, while to the extent OF his
passes at least he is diminishing its ahiity
to do so by the expense of his free trans.
portation?
It does seem as though Mr.. Bryan should
have explained to our people in some of
his many flights of eloquence that he had
come to California through the courtesy
of the Southern Pacific Company, and was
enjoying himself imm en.ely riding up
1t would have added so much pith and
poinC to his oratory and have furnished
such all excellent reason why he was Rot
and ought not to have been elected Presi-
dent OF the United States
