INDEMNITIBs OF WAR.

Civilization has brought about some
wonderful changes, not only in the science
of warfare, but in the method Of treatment
of the vanquished. We no longer go in
for wholesale burning and slaughter in
order 10 wipe the foe ont of existence We
no longer resort 10 a disorderly system of
plunder to satiate the greedy troops, and
commanders are not galloping about seek
ing deeds of bold adventure and daring
in order merely to demonstrate their supe.
rior accomplishments in feats of arms.
Nowadays the victor simply holds the de-
feated power down until il guarantees TO
pay an amazingly big figure for indemnity,
and then he calls off his dogs OF war.
These polite financial arrange ments are
preferable TO vulgar plundering.
The indemnity is the thing that now set
ties up nearly all scores of the victor against
his down-falIen enemy. One country
fights another to the wall and only ceases
Its onslaught when that other throws up
its hands and signifies its willingness TO
talk about indemnity. War has ofttimes
been an excellent financial speculation.
1t is with some nations a new way to pay
old deDts-not vengeance but in pounds
| sterling. Turkey, for instance, still owes
Russia $50 0O0,00O the promise OF which
was exacted at the close of the Russo
Turkish war. The Sultan has not been
deriving much of an income from COM
merce OF late years, and Russia IS still
waiting for her money. When the Sultan
whipped the Greeks and demanded a most
exorbitant sum from King George the
victor possibly had q view toward making
the Car feel happy with a bit of an in
stallment.
The Transvaal is not behindhand when
1t comes 10 asking indemnity. Dom Paul
thinks 81, 676, 600 ought to be about the
right figure for England TO pass over to
| him as a balm for the few bruises Of
which DR.. jameson was largely :he cause.
Japan is doing exceedingly we'll at the
present time, having received 937, 900, 600
from China in settlement of claims and
damages arising out of their recent serl-
GUS difficulty. But the heaviest indem-
nifty ever paid to victorious nation was
that of f200, 000 900 from France TO Ger
many at the conclusion Of the war of
1901. This represented f7 per man per
week for the whole German army while it
was in the field. This country has ac-
knowledged the receipt of a few little in
IDENTITIES, but none of them on a scale to
compare with those big European exac-
tions. Still, if We are ever prompted to
war with any power, the Yankee will be
apt to set very respectable price on his
| martial exertions.

THE WINGED WHEEL

The California Associated Cyclists have
succeeded in Obtaining complete control
of wheeI-racnE in this State, and British
Columbia and Mexico have practically sig
nltied their intention OF affiliating with the
Californians, there by making a grand Pa
ciflc Coast circuit. II is also quite posi- Bile
that the recent breach between the Cana
dian Wheelmen's Association and the
American League over the refusal of the
authorities OF the latter organization to
permit American cyclists 10 compete in
the annual Canadian meet on July l NAV
result in powerful addition to the Pacific
Coast com bination.
The outlook is bright for the success OF
the plans of the new Western organiza-
tion, and il is highly probable that the big
meets which have been projected will par
take as much of an international charac-
ter as those held under Am erican League
auspices.
The California Association has made
MANY notable accessions 10 its ranks in
the past few days, one of them being the
Mayor Of the City. Their slogan of good
roads and welI-paved streets meets a re-
sponsive echo on every hand, particularly
wherever public spirit is mbined with
an appreciation OF the healthful delights
of the wheel.

OUR DEMANDS SATISFIED.

The efforts of our representatives in the
United States Senate in behalf of the
fruit interests of California have had the
desired effect. and our fruit-growers may
congratulate themselves upon being ac-
corded such a measure of protection as
will guarantee them marked advantage
over foreign goods and encourage and as
sist home production.
The Senate has been making rapid
progress in its consideration of the tariff
bill. On Wednesday the agricultural
schedule was completed and the promise
of a protective measure as a Fourth of
July present to the American people will
be realized, without any doubt.
The substantially beneficial rate OF the
Dingley bill on citrus fruits was agreed
t., the House rate on raisins was restored,
and on Zante currants the rate of , cents
per pound was maintained In San Joa-
quin Valley the raising of chlcory is as

also will profit by the duty on that article
provided in the Senate bill. California

statellness. 1t is not so much like capi-
tai city," he declares, las ike a very large
and overgrown provincial town. A few

upon our atteE ton the contrast between
mere town and a capital in the true
sense of the word"
Paris has broader, better-kept streets, and

But. notwithstanding all those assever-
ations, the eye of the world is focused on
London just now, and London is the
supreme center OF attraction. If she isn't
built on lines to suit Mr. Statham (who
doesn't consider her model jubilee city),
1t isqulte too late to remedy the matter.
And all the objections of all her critics
will not lessen by a lot or title the pride
of London in her role as the city of the
diamond jubilee.
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-18
LONDON AS A JUBILEE CITY.

The millions of London are making final
preparations to celebrate with gorgeous
effect the diamond jubilee of Queen Vic
torla. The pageant OF June % will be
magnihcence personified, and the great
city will be decorated from its center to
lis remotest suburb. The jubilee will
mark an epoch in the history of the Brit.
ish empire. On that auspicious day
many churches, schools, hospitals and
Libraries will be founded in various parts
of the realm. so that the day will be
memorable in future annals for the MANY
public benefits TO which it gave birth. In
the evening London will be ablaze with
artificial light, and beacon fires Will be re-
hected on the sky from every hilltop of
Great Britain.
For jubilee city, one would imagine
that London ought easily TO dwarf all
other cities of the world. Arnold, con.

refuse to participate in any pay entertain
ment given by the order except for the pur-
pose of charity. The council will arrange to
give one or two frst-class entertainments
