THE PEACE COMMISSION
Report Says We viii Control the
Philippines

London, Sept. 26.-The Daily
News reports an American fellow
passenger of the Pence Commis-
sioners, who had several conyersa-
tions with them during their voy-
age from New York, as saying
Although there is an agreement,
nothing was divulged as to the ma
ture of the instructions given the
commissioners in Washington. i
may say, however, that the com-
mission will not leave Paris until
the control of the entire Philip
pine group by the American ma,
ton has been established"

SPANISH AND AMERICAN DEBTS

Monarchy's Burdens About Twenty
Times Greater Than RepubIic'a.
From financial standpoint this gov
ernment has much the better of the
Spanish adversary. War in late years
has become largely matter OF dollars
and cents. OF course. il the nations
happen to be good fighters and also
fairly equal In men and resources, gen.
eralshlp may cut a considerable figure.
But normally the nation with the long
est purse Is the one which must in the
end triumph. In this connection the
relative debts OF America and Spain are
instructive.
In order that the pride OF the yankee
might not be hurt 1t would be well II
the enemy were better equipped In
money for the conflict But things must
be taken as they are and not as the
contending factors might wish. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the United States
are engaged In war with a nation la
boring under burden OF debt which
amounts to practical conflscation. The
national debt of Spain is about 4ss
pesetas per capita, or something near
$96 in American money. Only short
time ago the best European authority
quoted the national wealth at $455 per
capita. Therefore the national debt of
Spain can be fairly said to be some
thing near 20 per cent of the total
wealth Of the nation, This is practical
bankruptcy. Since 1865 the United
States have paid a debt OF trifie over

nary. 1893. OF little more than 81, ,011.-
701,33s. This remaining debt includes
nnredeemed greenbacks. This makes a
per capita debt Of about S14. The per
capita wealth Of this country eight
years ago. probably greatly increased
In the meanwhile. was $l.0S6. Even on
the basis OF 1890 the percentage was
less than 2. The per capita interest
charge on the debt OF the United States
amounted in the fiscal year ending in
July, 1897, to about So cents. In Spain
the annual cost of the public debt was
Sc per capita. This is general aver
lge which shows the difference between
the two nations on a money basis. II
the vast difference in the actual popu-
iation Is also considered the relative
strength of the two will be clearly ap.
o2rent.

BootbIack PHILOSOPHY

AS the little colored bootblack
deposited in his cheek the last
morsel of a large sandwich which
he had evidently just purchased at
the Idlewild, and sat down to give
we editor shine, he remarked:
Dem shoes need polishin'
mighty bad, mistah."
We answered to the effect that
realizing that fact, we have en-
gagged his services. As he con-
tinued his task he grew meditative,
and finally gave utterance to his
thoughts, something in this wise:
"Shoes dat is cracked don't
pear to take de blackin' like shoes
that aint. Some folks buys pat
ent feathers and den thinks dey
never need no shinin', but dat's
whar dey're off. If dey let me
polish 'em up I'd make 'em look
like new. OATS de kind of shinin'
1 do"
Don't know what it is, but rs
allus noticed dat whar mans
shoes is cracked, de right one
allus pears to be de worst. Don't
know what makes it unless it is
dat a man gently kicks most wild
his right foot. Golly, mistah, 1
specs if dat is it, you must hab
done some mighty hard kickin'.
Dat shoe don't pear to take de
blackin' nohow. Purity good, tho, !,
amt it2'
We were satisfied and the dusky
philosopher took his fee and in
vested in another sandwich.

At One of the churche.

At Union hall last night the
Rev. Robt. d. Graham delivered
one of his characteristic Sunday
evening sermons, the theme of
his discourse being Religious
Fanaticism, is it Dead?'
Before entering into the dis
cussion of his subejct, Mr.. Graham
assured his people that his work
here was as yet unfinished, and
that it is not his intention to leave
Florence at this time, notwith-
standing current reports to the
contrary.
He then proceeded to show his
audience that the world is full of
religious fanatics today, as it was
centuries ago when the prophets,
the Christ and the apostles were
prosecuted by religious extremists.
He called attention to the man
that says "there is no God," but
dwelt more at length on the de-
nominational fanatic who holds
that his church alone is the open
door to heaven. In this connec-
ton he said. "If you are a
Methodist and you have feeling
that Methodism is the only re-
ligion on earth, you are fanatic. y
81 know Baptists that if they
ever go to heaven and join in the
songs of the Lamb, they will have
to change their ways. There's
nothing that serves for some hard
shell Baptists but baptism. l
believe it is wrong. There's some
thing about it that savors of the
pit"
Then in general way he talked
of sel6shness being an attribute
of the fanatic, and said among
other things: "Some of you will
let a poor man starve in house
next to your home, unless man
from the other end of town comes
and ministers to his needs.'
Mr.. Graham possesses the happy
faculty of pleasing saint and sin
ner alike, and the church and con-
gregation appreciate his efforts in
successfully carrying on the work
of his church in Florence.

THE MASONIC FESTIVAL.
It Will Insure a Home for Widows
and Orphans

The Masonic festival in aid of the
Widows and Orphans Home, which
took the entire week, May 9th to May
18th, at the Mechanics Pavilion, in
San Francisco, closed in a blaze of
glory. The popularity of the fete was
gratifying to a degree. Even on the
opening day the crowd of visitors was
surprising to those who are accustomed
to attend similar fairs.
Every night there was a grand march
by the ladies of the different booths,
of which there were forty, each booth
having its distinctive costume. The
plans of the ladies covered everything
from the Puritan to the hateful Turk.
the picturesque Japanese and the pop
ular jockey. More money and more
articles of value have been contributed
to aid this festival than any similar
charitable movement that local history
has known.
On the last night the Naval Battalion
in two platoons, with four guns, Cap
tain Thomas A. Nerney, with Lieuten-
ant Cecil Dennis in command. gave an
exhibition drill. There were about 100
of the volunteers on the floor During
the week ex-members of the National
service, were seen in the spectacular
musical scene Gettysburg" 1t was
early decided to make the decoration
of the Pavilion principally national in
character and though Masonic en-
blems were occasionally blended with
the red, white and blue" the gen.
eral appearance was more that of pa
triotic exhibit than aught else.

SACRAMENTO VS.. WOODLAND.
High Schools Field Day Here on
Saturday Next.

The long-anticipated field-day con-
tests between our High School and that
of Woodland will come to pass next
Saturday. The untiring efforts of Track
Manager Gould and Correspondent Nc
KinIey are to be commended. The COM
ing meet" has been so long delayed
tina it was feared the two schools
would never come together. Another
cause for delay was the fact that some
of our best local athletes belong to the
militia. and they, momentarily expect
ing to be called into service, gave up
their training They are now, how
ever. in training daily. and finer group
of young athletes it would be hard to
find anywhere.
The preliminary field-day tryout held
q few weeks ago resulted in the selec-
ton of a good team. Unfortunately
the hammer throw and the pole-Vault
were omitted that day, but next Satur-
dav a full list of events will come off in
rapid order, thus avoiding the tedious
waits that characterized the last field
day.

PURE WATER.
In Order to Get 1t People Must be
DoubIy Taxed,

There is no question in the minds of
the physicians (and all other intelligent
citiZens) as to the cause of so many
cases of typhoid fever in the city Of
late. All attribute it to the polluted
river water, and from the evidence OBJ
tainable the river stands convicted.
Not a case of typhoid has been re-
ported from the country, nor from the
thickly settled suburbs where pure sub
terranean water is used. At the COun-
ty Hospital there has not yet been a
case except of patients sent out from
the city, and there are now seven such
cases undergoing treatment there.
Next week it will be possible for the
people of the city to obtain pure and
clear water from the Williamson wells
outside the city, at a nominal price.
Should it's use become general there will
no doubt be a sudden falling off in cases
of typhoid fever.
The worst of it is that people must
keep on paying the city for water that
they will not drink, and in which they
cannot even battle, While they could for
the same money have the best water in
