One of the risks connected with go-
 ing to war ill the present era of the
 land hunger of the nations is the DOS
 sibility that the country turning out
 the weaker in the conflict runs the
 risk not merely of losing some of it's
 territory and paying an indemnity but
 even of dismemberment in case it's maintenance as q political entity is not deemed necessary for the interests of the more powerful nations. An il- lustration of this is found in the case of China, which committed the blum der of losing it's fight with Japan. %rrermany has actually occupied part ot China; Russia, which has long nurs- ed designs as regards the acquisition of territory ill the far east. is not like iy to be behind hand. and the other powers will doubtless demand com pensation for whatever concessions may be granted to the pioneers in the work of annexation. What the out come will be would seem to depend not upon the ability of China to offer | any resistance but upon the extent to 1 which the mutual jealousies of the | other powers will permit them to go | -Bradstreets.

There is Jew, native of Litsk, Russia,
living in the East end of London, who has
tasted for twenty years, his sole daily diet
during that time consisting of six pints Of
milk, three pintS of beer and half pound
of Demerara sugar His name is Morris
Fox. He is an excellent Talmudical
scholar, and in spite of his frugal meals,
he is the most healthy, intelligent and
wide-awake person in his quarter. He is
now over 40. At the age of II, it appears,
he caught some lingering fever, which
shattered his constitution and entirely de-
stroyed his digestive organs. He took
many kinds of treatment from many ply
sicians, until his stomach became Injured
to all medicine. At the Kieff hospital they
vainly tried to cure him by sponging and
electrolysis; at Vienna his physicians in
cluded the well-known Drs. Albert and
Northnagel. His treatment at Carlsbad
was failure; then he travelled to Konigs-
berg when the physicians decided that he
must live on sugar, milk and beer. He
adopted their prescription, and soon re-
gained normal health For twenty years
no solid food has passed his mouth.--New

An Unusual Case of Honesty

In the mail received by A s. Woolf yes
terday was letter from London. England
In the letter was postal note for SEQ. And
in the $3.50 is q story. 1t is an unusually
honest story, or rather story of unusual
honesty.
Nine years ago banker In Denver
bought a bill of furnishing goods from
Woolf Bros. The bill amounted to ssIs but
the banker was cheerfully given credit
lust because he was banker.
But in few months the bank failed and
all efforts to collect the bill were fruitless.
The firm traced the banker to Japan.
There 1t lost track of him. Five years
passed and the bill was outiawed. The
s97 was placed to the firms loss.
The letter which Mr.. Woolf received from
London yesterday came from the ex-
banker. He said hard luck had followed
him. Now he was getting on his feet once
more. and he enclosed $3.50, which. though
a small sum, would make the bill col
lectible again. AS soon as. he was able
he would send the rest Of the money. he
did not know just when that would De.

HOME TO RooST

How doth distance lend enchantment
to the view! A few months ago grave
scandal occurred in the Los Angeles
board Of education. Certain of its MEM
bers were charged with blackmail and
extortion. One of the accused members
confessed his guilt, the other did not.
The San Francisco Call, 500 miles
away, for some occult reason, cham
pioned the cause of the member who did
not confess, and charged the newspapers
of this city with prosecuting him. In
conducting it's compaign it descended
to malicious Misrepresentation and low
scullduggery under the plea of giving
the other side hearing"
Just now the boot is on the other foot
San Francisco has board CT education
scandal of the same nature as that in
Los Angeles. How suddenly virtuous
is the Call become! Listen to its wall:
What is the country coming to when
men seek office for the purpose of So
liciting bribes? And this question gives
place to another: Is it not about time,
uOW llldl IL Is IcdSOildDly GeIldll tIldl
we are being ruled by thieves, for the
people to cast about for an anchorage?
Surely things cannot go on this way
very long.
The Call is late in making it's discov-
cry. The people can have no faith in its
assertions; they cannot hold it above
suspicion after the shameful course it
has pursued in seeking to defeat the
ends of good government in Los An
geles. Suppose that a supervisor or a
school director in San Francisco who is
charged with blackmail and extortion
should tell the Call that he "couii not
obtain a fair hearing" what then?
Would its virtue withstand the pressure?
The people are obliged to judge the sit
uation in San Francisco by the record in
Los Angeles, so far as board of educa-
tion scandals and the Call are concerned.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Greater Los Angeles

The rivalry between Oakland and Los
Angeles has been quite marked in the past.
For years the former city took rank as
second cit in the state in point of popula-
ton, but with later years our southern me-
tropolis has outstripped her in the race
Now Oakland will make a grand effort to
regain the coveted place. A fine scheme
has been concocted whereby the following
will be united in one city and county:
Oakland. Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville,
Piedmont, Claremont, Fruitvale, Melrose.
Fitchburg. Elmhurst and San Leandro
This would give Oakland a greater popula-
tion than the city of Los Angeles and
much greater assessed valuation. Oakland
would then be the second city on the coast
and the present system of double legisla-
tion would be unnecessary. Now, Los An
geles, wake up! Give us La Fiesta again!
Push the harbor work, increase your pop
ulation, extend your city limits. We can
beat them fellows up north on climate,
fruit-almost anything-so don't let them
get by this time. We've got the climate
and the fruit, and just as soon as our two
big sugar factories begin to operate
we'll have big population. So then, why
not keep up our heads and show those fel-
lows up there thing or two?-Ventura
Democrat.

into dollars, would not be sum-
cient for the purpose. Mr.. Bry-
an wants all Of the silver and all
of the gold. save only what is essential
for use in the arts, converted into a
full debt-paying money. and IL this
should result in an increase of the per
capita circulation, it is difficult to see
who would suffer thereby. The great
est philosophers and sages of all times
have maintained that the countries pro-
ducing the largest quantities of the
precious metals are ever the strongest,
most enlightened and prosperous.
The money of all kinds in circulation
on the 1st of last January did not show
an increase of 500, 041,SS2, as stated by
our esteemed contemporary, but did
show an increase of $70,S0O,O0O. as COM
pared with the same period of the pre-
vious year. And how was this increase
made up? Nearly two-thirds of it came
from the addition Of silver to the coin
age, the issue of silver certificates
against silver coin in the treasury, the
coinage of the seigniorage and SUBJ
sidiary silver. To be exact: Increase in
silver dollars, $2,9O0,0O0; subsidiary sill
yer, $3,60O0 900; silver certificates, 500, ,000,-
900; treasury notes of 1890, $19,200,000.
Money in the treasury fiuctuates wide
ly, and whereas, the per capita cir
culation upon the 1st of January last
showed decided increase over the per
capita circulation one year previous, in
less than a month it was decreased 5
cents a head by reason of the fiuctua-
tions noted.
Our esteemed contemporary will
scarcely contend that the country is |
suffering from the increase in per capita
or that :: would be hazard (
ous to still further increase it to the
French limit.

The proposed plan of inspection for

equally interested in the same kinds of
