San Bernardino is not safe place for
the sojourn Of an eccentric person. One
of that kind, we read in a newspaper re-
port, was seen coming out of barn with
a set of harness. Thereupon he was
pursued by a constable. shot and killed.
1t Is surprising, however, that such bad
craftsmanship is recorded for San Ber-
nardino. The report says the deceased
had been fired at several times, but there
was only one wound.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. Britaln's
colonial secretary, seems to be as much
with his American wife. He says:
UNITED, Great Britain, the United
States and Canada, will be invulner-
able.' 1t would be a pretty tough team
clined, just now, to give exclusive at
tention to business.
A council of Indians in Minnesota,
three thousand Of their
people, have passed resolutions deplor-
ing the late trouble, and assuring the
government of their loyalty. 1t is spec
tacle to gaze at and to think about. Who
can believe that these Indians would in

One peculiar result Of the war, as we
learn from treasury officials at Wash
ington, is the large demand for small
coins, particularly cents, on the Pacific
coast. 1t is attributed chiefly to the

in favor in California, but as a legacy
of the war we shall probably have to put
up with it.

ment to Manila of one hundred and fifty
cigarettes. These goods are supposed
to find a market among the American
soldiers, but the natives are likely to
experiment with them. If the Filipinos
will be an important element.
The difficulty in adjusting matters
with the Indians in Minnesota seems to
be caused by bitter opposition of some
old chiefs. A dispatch says "Boy-Ah-
Mee-Ge-Shig, the cause Of all the
trouble, is still obdurate" Very likely
What can be expected Of man who is
obliged to wear a name that looks like
a string of sausages?
A contract for publishing the full text
of the proposed city charter was
awarded to The Herald yesterday. The
publication will begin tomorrow morn

furnish good reading for many leisure
half hours.
Mr.. Waters, In aluding to the Mica
ragua canal, says its construction "can
only be secured through the Republican
party" 1t has generally been supposed
that the United States intended to tackle
that job, and we notice that Democrats
feel considerable interest in the enter
prise The canal will not be a Repub-

The reported plot of anarchists to kill
Kaiser William is not surprising. There
are other disordered minds besides that
of the assassin OF Austria's empress, and
the pomp of the kaiser now invites
their attention. With all possible pre-
caution he is taking a great risk in his
imposing journey to Jerusalem.
The latest advices from Manila tell
about rebellion against the frisky
Aguinaldo and hard fighting between
the opposing factions" We have
grave fears that those Philippine cousins
have little too much animation of the
Pennybrook kind, to assmilate with
quiet American society.
1t was noble contribution, the ten
