economic and physical losses of the severest char acter
 Spain is victim of the same unwise policy. Her people have only been kept in ignorance of the people of the United States and their resources, but they have been filled with falsehoods about them. They have been made to believe that would not fight, that our navy is manned by foreign ner- cenares, that our armies without discipline our officers lacking in tactical skill and that if we took prisoners they would be tortured War is stern missionary, but is doing its work The Spanish sol diers and sailors have taken in battle have had the most generous treatment Emerging from months of short ratons and misery under their own negiectful Government, they are fed and clad and nursed and doctored by their captors. So it has to pass, for the first time in the history of war; that prisoners are cheering flag and looking coldly on their own.
 This is compliment to the republic which the genius of history will not fail to record. Between 10000 and 10000 of these prisoners will be sent home
 in comfort Each goes to Spain a living witness that his countrymen have been taught lie about this country and its people. Each one goes to plant in Spain the spirit of revolt against system which keeps its people in ignorance, and country which has been made to believe lie and be damned.
 It may be expected that intellectual ferment will be propagated in Spain, and that her compensation
 
 her people upon plane where they will demand that the truth be told and will accept nothing else Those who advocate mighty changes in our system of government, and who pine for what they regard great material advantages, should pause and be admonshed that strength has come, not from our lavish materialities but from the enlightenment of our people, from the spirit which demands truth and fair play in all national matters and that firm purpose to treat fallen enemy brother man.

THE ECONOMY OF TRUTH.

NI ACAULAY says that while 1t may occasion ally occur that individuals have profted by falsehood and sharp practice, history fails to record any advantage gained to a nation by those means.
 It is evident that in national affairs truth serves the ends of economy and therefore of popular hap piness and prosperity.
 There has been recently published book made up of the correspondence and "reminiscences of lady who in service in the camps and hospitals during our Civil War It is especially rich in expres- sions, verbal and epistolary, of sick and wounded Confederates, who prisoners of war and bene- fciares of superior hospital facilities These all reveal the prevalence in the South of untruthfu ideas and unreasoning prejudice against the Northern peo- pe They bring into sharp relief the -belum diff ference in the characteristics of the two peoples and startle with the revelation of the gulf that was between them and the progress that had been un- consciously made toward the foundation of two na- tions, divided by Mason and Dixon's line At that line the gauge of every railway changed This made actual frontier for commerce. All freight had to break bulk and all passengers had to change This gave steady growth to the impression of passing into another country. The Confederate prisoners finding their wounds and weakness ministered unto in our camps and hospitals, were free in their comments upon the fasehoods that had been taught them They had been made to believe that Northern men would not fight. This belief strengthened by the first battle of Bull Run, into which the Federal forces rushed, hot-headedly, without preparation. Later battles entered by the Confederaes in the belief that all they had to do to quckstep fast enough to get within range of their fleeing foes l When they met the solid and unyielding walls of blue their mistake was paid for So they were con- stantly saying their Northern nurses and doctors 'If had known what know now, I would never have favored this war"
 The truth had not reached them and the lack of it 1 cost them dearly. For want of it they suffered

METHODS OF THE VENERABLE
 CHIEF.

HE Call Is in receipt of the following letter
 under date of July 26: "Why did not Chief
 Lees treat Figel as he has treated Lochner? If I not mistaken, he said he would not take the responsibility of arrestng Fige suspicion He wanted to put the charge against him. Has Lochner equal rights with Fige did Figel have a pull? Kindly refrain from using my name ii you print this, as I do not want 10 be arrested on suspicion, and desire no Spanish rules applied to me"
 These questions verge upon the line o decacy They cannot be answered without danger of ing the wrath of Chief Lees and the Chief in anger Is terrible to behold. Still we will venture reply, counseling the inquirer that 1t fail be satsfac tory he IS at liberty to repeat the questions the Chief in person.
 Technically, Figel and Lochner stand on the plane before the law. But when Lees gets through construing the law, they don't. They were each accused Of the crime of murder. It is fair to say that the apparent evidence against Fige stronger than that against Lochner, in the latter there was never more than vague speculation of possi- ble guilt But Figel had friends, and could com 1nand money Lochner had no friends and no as sets worth mentioning. These circumstances con- stitute what the correspondent is pleased to pull:
 When Lees takes notion to put man in jail, he simply puts him there. The statutes specify the necessity for warrant but the statute which Lees cannot rise superior has yet to get the books Lees had nc right to put Lochner in jail, no right to detain him, and the proceeding from the first was outrage. The system practiced by Lees of placing men in the tanks is wholly illegal but the victims of 1t are many. Lochner was one of these He had no pull. It is a serious error to get sus- pected Of any crime without first getting the pull

IMPORTANCE OF THE STATE FAIR.

THE yearly State Fair is always of importance
 a showing of the material advancement of
 California, object lesson of its resources, stimulus to its industries, and broadening of its markets But this season 1t is of far more than or dinary importance. The Board of Agriculture is to be commended for the efforts that have been made to insure success and deserves encouragement to the ut most.
 It must not be forgotten that the State has passed through the year in all its experience as pro- ducing commonwealth. The rainfall has been so small to work havoc with crops of every sort In a less enterprisng community or one in which the inherent wealth not extraordinary, such a year would have killed the annual fair Here 1t has aroused ambition to make the fair great com plete and impressive Despite the drought there have been crops of grain and fruits, and attention should be paid to having fine display in these and other lines California demonstrate that it rises superior to adverse stroke such as would have blighted another region. Livestock has suffered greatly, and some ranges will have to be restocked Therefore growers who have fine animals to dispose of will be wise to place them on exhibition. There will be demand for them.
 California never before is in the public atten- ton. The has given 1t prominence, and its name IS on the lips of many who never had thought definitely of 1t, and to whom 1t had been simply a part of the Great West The stranger is within our gates. He has heard stories of the harm wrought by the paucity of rainfall. The fact must be demon strated to him that the State too big too rich and too energetic to be in any measure crushed by a single misfortune The success of the fair will mean much It will do away with false impression and Just now, when commercial standing is being at tained, it becomes necessary to place products of every variety exhibition. Let us have this year better fair than yet held Both pride and policy demand this. It can be done, and happily there is every prospect that it will be done.

Aerial Navigation company, announces
that the company now has in course of
construction an airship in which it is ex-

NO BICYCLE FOR A QUEEN.
The Dutch Privy Council Declined to Let
Wilhelmina Ride.


Wilhelmina Ride.
A dispatch to the London Telegraph
from Amsterdam says that while Queen
Wilhelmina was with her mother recently
in Vienna she became passionately fond of
bicycling, and brought home a splendid
machine.
She enjoyed the sport for time in the
royal garden, and then her mother was
seized with narrowing scruples as to
whether it was in accordance with propri
ETY. for the queen to ride wheel. She
submitted lrcr doubts to the queen, who
laughed at the idea and declined to relin
quish her wheel.
The matter was therefore referred to the
privy council, which was specially sum
moned to consider it. The council delib-
Grated the question very carefully and ex
haustiyely, and finally concluded that such
recreation was incompatible with the dig
nifty of the throne.
1t also based its objection to the queens
riding on the risk she ran of being injured.
The council concluded to implore her gra-
cious majesty not to expose her precious
life to this danger. The queen pouted, but
obeyed, and accepted gift of Shetland
pony, on which she sought solaoe.-New

NOVEL CYCLONE RETREAT.
stormhouse Which sinks Into the Ground
when y Lever Is Pulled.

r.. f. Bond of Erie, Kan, has invented
and patented novelty in cyclone retreats
which is attracting considerable attention.
He calls it disappearing stormhouse
and 1t consists of water tight casing about
8 feet deep and 9 feet square, having bey-
eled stills around the top and post stand
ing In the center the casing being into
the ground SO that the beveled stills come
even with the surface. A cage or elevator
car is made TO move up and down in this
casing hole being in the iloor of this cage
TO allow the center post TO pass through.
The roof projects over the sides OF the cage
about inches, which when sunken into
the ground fits snugly over the beveled
sills of the casing thus making 1t impos-
sible for water or wind to enter.
The cage when not in use stands con-
stantly above ground, and is held in posi-
ton by four bolts which are located under
the cage floor and controlled by lever,
one movement of which moves all four of
the bolts When the floor of the cage is
even with the surface of tho ground, by
moving the lever the bolts are thrust out
into mortises made in the sill Mt the top of
the casing, thus locking the cage The cage
remains in this position when not in use.
When IL is wanted for use, il is only neces
sary to enter the cage, move the bolt lever,
and the cage, being equipped with govern
or, descends to the bottom of the casing

DARING BICYCLE RIDE.
Across the Hoosao River on Wire Foot
Bridge One Hundred Feet Long.

George Round of Williamstown,
Mass, recently performed the daring
and dangerous feat of riding bicycle
across the Hoosac river, near the Yer
mont state line, on foot bridge lOO
feet long and about 90 feet above the
water. The bridge is made of two
heavy wire cables, upon which are cross
pieces of wood. Wires are strung at
each side to serve as guard rails. When
a person crosses this novel bridge, IL
sways, sinks and rises very much after
the fashion of a rope upon which a rope
walker is performing, The water be-
meath the bridge is very deep, and those
who watched Mr.. Round cross the river
feared that his foolhardy feat would
end in his death.
Round had originally agreed to ride
over the bridge to win wager OF 500,
but as the men who promised TO back
him failed to show up he decided to I'M
dertake the perilous feat for what glory
there was in it. For that reason he
went TO tie bridge with his wheel, ac-
companed ty his friends. One of the
men tried 10 disSuade Round from I'M
dertakins the ride.
"Oh, I'll get over all right, conf
IDENTIFY replied Round, as he lifted his
wheel to the bridge, which began to os-
cillate dangerously.
Better come back, George" cried
one of his friends.
Round shook his head, and giving
his wheel gentle push forward rode
out upon the trembling bridge. When
near the middle of the swaying struc-
ture, the wheel of the young riders BIZ
cycle drew alarmingly near the edge.
The watchers held their breath, For an
instant the wheel looked as if ii would
topple over. Then the pedals worked
slowly and cautiously, and Round in
creased his speed until he shot across
the rest of the bridge with a rapidity
that caused the men watching him to |
gasp
To prove that he could perform the |
feat again, Round rode over the bridge |
the second time. The ride will go Oh !
record as one of the most remarkable |
ever performed i'll America. New York |
