WHAT GOES WITH THE FLAG.

IN recent interview MT. Hit, of the two H. | nois members of the Hawaiian Commission, talked interestingly of the effect of flag upon the prosperity of the territory which it floats. He instanced General Grants attempt to San Domingo During that effort MT. Hit visited San Domingo and says that he found there representa- lives of American syndicates negotiating for fran chises and privileges which covered the resources and capacities of the country but which all taken contingent upon annexation to the United States. He transfers this condition to possession of Hawaii and prospectvey, to the countries and colo nies we may take from Spain, and quotes it to show what goes with our flag
 To cool observer this seems to imply that the transfer of the flag to more territory does not mean an enlargement of the individual opportunities but opens new field for the rapacty of combined cap ita made secure in its gains by franchises and priv leges There is no talk of opening for individual enterprise of a field for hundreds of thousands of American aborers in which to better their state and advance more rapidly to independence. The lure is to hundreds of millions of American dollars, with a chance to increase their profits entrenched behind privilege.
 It must be confessed that this IS not what the flag always stood for. During more than a hundred years it was an invitation to the and not the dollar. Men responded and f1ocking here from Northern stream to mingle with our original blood and de- votion to the principles of our government which produced the enlarged opportunity for betterment of
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-05

the fortunes of the individual. Men feel emotions, they thrill to patriotism, they bring to institutions that enduring love of country which IS necessary Ill peace and war. To the accumulation of wealth there is objection if it be not accompanied by the with drawal of individual opportunity.
 To say that special franchises and privileges go with the flag IS to emphasize new era ln our ha- tional development, which may have to come m the history of all nations but that nation is the happlest in which its coming is the longest delayed
 It has an evil sound when uttered in connection with the annexation of Hawaii. The chief end of our form of government has been supposed to be the prosperity and happiness of the people brought under its influence, and their encouragement by the full protection given to the rights of person and prop erty But man IS the producer of wealth, by con version thereinto of natural his interests as an individual be safely forgotten. mat they in danger of being forgotten when wealth. and not its producer, becomes the first object of governmental care, seems to be true.
 We fear that Mr. Hitt's idea of the advantages of annexation and expansion sounds note ot alarm

REPAVING MARKET STREET,

I" NICE the Supervisors have determined to re- N pave Market street between Second and Sixth 7. 0 with btuminous rock, 1t IS to be hoped they will introduce at least few business principles into the work If as soon the space between the rib bon already laid and the cable tracks is repaved IS proposed to grant franchise another car company to run down the highway we respectfully suggest that the franchise be granted and the track built prior to the work proposed being done.
 We recall the fact that few years ago Eddy street, between Mason and Taylor having risen to the dig nity of a mudhole Ill winter and sand pestlence 1n summer, was paved with bituminous rock at an ex- pense of Soooo The block was hardly dry the Metropolitan Electric Company obtained franchise or Eddy street and proceeded 1t up from end to end When the double track of this line had been finished the beautiful pavement looked aS' though 1t had been struck by Kansas tornado. Substantially the same thing happened Stockton street between Market and OFarrell. The business this block suffered from unused car tracks cobbleS and dirt for many years Finally the city paved the block with bitu1nen at expense of about S5ooo. The day after the work was done 1t occurred to the Spring Valley Water Works that 1t needed pipe in the block, and the vandals of that corporation dug hole through it i'll short order
 II anything of this character needs to be done upon Market street between Second and Sixth the time to do it Is before the pavement now projected by the Supervisors Is laid At the very best the bumen will be frequently up; 1t will be impossible to stay the hands of the side vandals and the building operations of enterprisng citizens. But the water gas and telephone companies can at least be com peed to put their pipes and conduits in order for long season of repose.
 If something of this sort is done, not only will a great deal of money be wasted but the street will " be maintained in constant state of impassability Every time btuminous pavement is torn up per nianeut scar is made which gradually develops into ''chuc1 hole" As the city has facilities for pairing chuck hoes, the first resort of the Street Department is to fill them with macadam. This has been done on Third street, which is in worse condition than it was before the basat blocks removed
 If Market street Is going to meet the fate that has overtaken the streets have named 1t had better be restored to the control of the street monopoly and allowed to continue its revel with cobbles ba- salt blocks, carbolized wood and asphalt great improvement in the appearance and usefulness of the magnificent thoroughfare be made by ntroduc- ing into the work in progress little sense and reason The introduction of these things may shock the politicians at the City Hall but they ought to stand it in the public interest

 HISTORIC VALLEY FORGE.

To many of those who celebrated Evac- uation day at Valley Forge the visit was a revelation. For the first time they re- alized the extent of that historic winter encampment and saw for themselves that what has been acquired by the State for the purpose of restoration is but small
 portion of the territory occupied by Washington and his troops during the
 memorable winter and that If any proper restoration is to take place the remain ing territory covered by the encampment must be acquired. Some half-filled earth works still exist and the remnants of a
 system of defensive Notifications are stiIl visited, but very little remains to fur nish eyaen an outline of the Valley Forge encampment in it's entirety. With the maps and descriptions still available a
 restoration could be effected, and the
 sooner the land is acquired and the work
 undertaken the better. While no battle was fought at Valley Forge, it was in
 this historic camp that the revolutionary

yHILE there seem to be grounds for the belief \Al that the Seventy first New York was tenn
 porarily panic-stricken before Santiago, the men should not be too harshy condemned. As sol diers they were entirely raw. The great majority knew nothing p1ore of and it's weapons than had been learned in peaceful parades and picnic encamp ments They were facing fearful fire coming from an invisible foe At first there trained troops to set an example These civilians, suddenly trans formed into fighting force, were at the front. If for time they gave way to the impulse of fear they seem to have redeemed themselves.

ONE UNCOMFORTABLE FOE.

i: N to the necessity for hurrying Shafter's army / \ out of Cuba there can be question. The ] opinion among medical men is unanimous that
 if retained there the must perish by thousands, for the yellow fever cannot by any application of science be much longer kept in abeyance In case of outbreak it would find the troops weakened by
 malaria and less deadly maladies, so that they would be swept away by thousands. There is no call for such sacrifice.
 One of the strongest statements of the conditions prevailing there comes from Colonel Roosevelt That he is a brave he has proved. That he is patriotic and evel-headed citizen was known before he led the Rough Riders on their splendid dash toward Santiago. Yet Roosevelt is anxious to have the army moved to the north He points out the awful results of delay and the futlty of condemning soldiers to the devastation of the scourge As he makes clear, the would not repine if by remain ing at whatever risk they would accomplish aught for their country. But for the time their work has been done, and done in manner which was a glory to the land. Now let them be granted haven of safety, chance for life

last night with tales of the camp and field. This is one of them:
 Just after we left Ogden sergeant In one of the companies came up to me and with more than ordinary respect full salute begged me to allow him to get off at the next station and fill his can- teen as he was feeling i'll and needed fortifying of both spirit and the body. He seemed to be the personificatfon of honesty, and I granted him permission to do as he desired.
 ''The next station was passed and he appeared again. Well, sergeant, what is wrong now? I asked. If you please, captain, I am a very sick man, and 1 need some more medicine he replied. Of course, told him that at the next station he might refill his eanteen, but advised him not to take too much. Hardly had I settled myself for a com fortable sleep on the seats, after passing the second stop on the route, when MT. Sergeant appears again. This time 1t was: Major, I am feeling worse and worse; wouldn't you please let me fill this tin again at the next station?' Hoping that the next canteen would prove disabling, I told him it was all right. The next station was reached and passed, and there stood the gentleman with bibulous in- clinations, pleading just one more favor. NOW, cOlOnel, neeQ Ln1S meO1Clne badly. Let me off at the next sta-shun an'll be your fren fer. lif-sure.'
