Supporting the Chinese.

Commenting upon the controversy
now going on over the employment
OF Chinese labor in this city in the
manufacture OF uniforms under Gov
eminent contracts, the Bulletin says
THE alaority of The Call in charg-
ing Major Long with conniving at
the employment OF coolies, and in
influencing the minds OF the labor
ing classes against the quarter
master has come near bringing
about row which might seriously
injhre this city by causing the Gov
erument to let future contracts in
other parts of the country, when
they should be let here"
Upon this theme OF an injury to
the city, possibly resulting from the
exposure of the coolie work by The
Call, the Bulletin harps at consider
able length and closes by saying:
"San Francisco is abundantly able
to perform all the work necessary to
be done. All the merchants and
manufacturers who have been ques-
toned declare this to be true, aud
that it would be most unfortunate
if an effort to array tho laboring
classes against the Government Off
Gals should result in great rumpus
that would give Washington false
impression of the conditions existing
in this city"
The only conclusion to be drawn
from that argument is that it would
be better to connive at the employ
ment OF coolie labor on Government
contracts than to protest against it
and run the risk of losing the con-
tracts altogether. The Bulletin
would hush the matter and let the
Chinatown sweatshops do the work.
The Call is OF different conviction
on the subject.
The implication that we have tried
to array the laboring classes against
the Government officials is false.
The report that Chinese were en-
ployed on Government contracts in
this city led to an Investigation by
labor councils and The Call pub
lished the news of these investiga-
tions and made some of it's own. 1t
also published communications be-
tween labor representatives here and
authorities at Washington. All
these things were current events Of
interest to our people and, there
fore, legitimate subjects for a live
newspaper to make known. That
The Call sympathized with the ef-
forts of the labor unions and coun-
ellis to prevent the employment of
coolies on the army contracts is be-
yond question, but in supporting
them it made no attempt to array
them against the Government off.
Gals nor to raise what the Bulletin
calls great rumpus."
As a matter of fact, no rumpus or
row is in sight, and there is no dan
ger that the city will suffer from the
exploitation which has been made
of the coolie work. On the con-
trary, the white labor OF the city will
be benefited and the interest of our
working men and women materially
improved. The contest has been a
straightforward, open fight for white
labor, and The Call is glad to have
been able to render assistance to
the white laborers of the city in
winning it. That the Bulletin would
have preferred to hush the matter
up aud let the coolies continue tc
get the work is susceptible of but
one explanation, and that is toe
obvious to require statements. F

No More Boxes for the Troops.

The action of the War Department
in discouraging the sending of boxes
filled with delicaces to the troops will
seem 10 fond parents and relatives
somewhat harsh, but It is based upo L
the belief that picked onions, pre-
served cherries, canned fruit, cakes
and pies are likely to do the recipients
more harm than good. The sending
of these boxes has been precious
privilege in thousands of homes, and
their receipt has caused unbounded
JOY In the camps, but there is not
now the need for these supplies that
existed up to couple of weeks ago.
The digestive powers of youth,
strengthened by an out-of-door life
night and day, with the lungs always
filled with fresh air, are capable of as
slmilating even the highly concer-
trated foods that the War Depart
ment has determined to rule out from
the camps hereafter. Perhaps no one
soldier, or group of comrades, re-
ceives boxes often enough to do SER
ious harm to the consumers. But
these boxes could easily become so
numerous with people who are the
best-fed people in the world that they
may become serious impediments.
Besides, if the soldier from the start
lives on soldier fare in camp he will
do less growing and feel the hard
ship less when compelled to live on
soldier fare on the march.

1t is a Just War,

Many are doubtless asking them
selves whether, after all, it is worth
while whether the Cubans for whose
freedom we are fighting and the prin-
ciples of humanity for which we have
picked this quarrel are worth the
sacrifice of these lives and all the
sacrifices of this war. We unhesitat-
ingly answer yes. 1t is war deliber-
ately undertaken in acknowledgment
of our national responsibility for the
prevention of crimes against humanity
committed at very doors. 1t is not a
war of revenge. The cry "Remember
the Maine" does not express its mo-
tive, although we may pardon the
seamen who find it so strong battle
cry. That crime was but one of a
long series of horrors which make up
the history of Spanish misrule in
Cuba, and it is that misrule with its
fearful inhumanity that placed upon
us the duty of forcible intervention
long delayed and at last manfully &C.
cepted. is war for civilization
and progress for humanity and free
dom ; just war and holy one. 1t
is worth whatever it may cost, not to
our people only, but to all the world,
including Spain.-Ee.

The Revenue Stamps.

On the face of the new revenue
stamps which are now being dlstribut-
ed is engraved a representation of the
i'll fated battleship Maine. There is
no inscription, excepting the denomi-
nation. The color of the new stamps
are: Que. eighth cent proprietary,
light green; three-eighth cent proprie-
tary, salmon five-eighth cent pro-
prietary, dark blue F.; one cent propri-
etary, purple ; two cent proprietary,
dark brown four cent proprietary,
light purple two cent documentary,
light pink four cent documentary,
dark pink. They are oblong in shape.
The battleship is pictured as going at
full speed through heavy sea. from
the two smokestacks is pouring vol
umes of dense smoke. The stamps,
millions of which will be used, are a
silent, though appropriate reminder of
the loss of the pride of the American
navy and zoo of her bravest sailors
through Spanish treachery.

COMMENT IN LONDON.
spain Urged to Sue for Pence at the
Earliest Moment,

spain Urged to Sue for Peace at the
Earliest Moment.
London, July 6.-The Daily Mail, in
an editorial. under the caption, 'As in
1S63." says:
Wherever the English language is
spoken, yesterday there was jubiliation.
Admiral Cervera's defeat by the Am
erlcan navy has nobly redeemed the
latters recent apparent inaction. Ad-
miral SIMPSONS name stands with
Admiral Dewey's. With Sampson rests
the glory of this Fourth of July. If the
war had shown nothing else it would
have proved the amazing efficiency of
the American navv."
The Times saws:
"Admira: SIMPSONS brilliant exploit
was as complete as Admiral Dewey's.
Nothing but the conviction that mis-
plight within the harbCr was hopeless
attempt to leave. Had he been able
to Judge correctly what was passing
in General Skaters mind. doubtless
he would have remained. The difficult
lies of navigation probably caused him
to make bold effort by daylight.
1t Is not easy at this moment to fore
see the wider consequences of the un-
challenged supremacy of the American
fleet in Cuban waters. Overpowered,
after an heroic defence, Spain's only
course is-her friends even in the
French press urge her-to seek peace,
which, even IL onerous, cannot now be
dishonorable."
The Daily Graphic says:
"If Senior Sagasta elects to risk fur
ther disasters for fear of the frothy
jingoes in Madrid, he will incur a ter
rible responsibility. The Spanish flag
has been borne with undying glory in
the face of tremendous odds, and the
punctilios of honor have been generous
ly satisfied"
The Daily News tenders similar ad-
vice. 1t says:
"The Spaniards can fight and die. So
can the Americans. Ambassador Hay,
In his glowing and eloquent speech of
yesterday, gloried in this thought, but
to their equal courage Americans add
In this unequal combat with Spain not
only vastly superior material resour-
ces, but a devising of mind and a skill
led organization without which brav-
cry is nothing but a means of provid-
ing stuff for the shamples."
