Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

NEW DEPARTURE IN LICENSES.

HE license ordinance recently passed to print
 by the Board of Supervisors that its pro-
 visions have been made public, should be con sidered without reference to its character enue-producing measure The theory upon which license laws are enacted is not revenue, but regu- lation and protection. They framed, not to add to the incomes of municipalities, whose treas ures may at any time be replenished by direct tax ation, but to regulate the conduct of and afford the people protection against dishonest tradesmen, swindling hackmen, hotel runners and expressmen. Among other things license laws are designed to prevent is unhealthy increase in certain trades and occupations.
 The ordinance passed to print by the Board of Supervisors is evidently revenue producing meas ure. Placing a tax of from SEQ to $50 quarter upon sidewalk cellars in certain portions of the city cannot be defended the ground that 1t is de sired to regulate such areas can license upon projecting steps and show windows be founded upon anything except determination to make 1t uncomfortable for property owners by getting as deeply into their pockets possible Licensing signs is more reasonable Such contrivances are nusances generally and their reasonable regulation by the license device might not be objectionable though 1t must be said that quarterly of from S4 to SC IS rather heavy imposition upon their owners.
 
 vsors will reconsider its determination to pass this ordinance. License taxation is in a general way always objectionable. In the first place it is dscriminative. Unlike levies upon real and per sonal property, no attempt is made to make it uni form It is, in fact, burden upon business-the tribute its victims pay for the privilege of making a living. Every dollar of it comes out of the con- sumers, for licenses just as much a part of business mans calculations as his other taxes in surance and store expenses License taxation should never be enlarged except it becomes neces- sary to protect regulate somebody or something Whoever devised the ordinance under considera- ton evidently did not comprehend the nature of his task. In proposing to license sidewalk cellars and projecting steps and show windows he is plainly in vadng the domain of the Assessor and Tax Collec- tor Moreover it is probable that neither the com mittee which recommended the ordinance nor the board which has passed 1t to print understands the character of the work it has undertaken. An ordi- nance so palpably designed to raise revenue is doubtedly unconstitutional.
 We have discussed this matter from legal stand point. The property owners and business men who are to be made the victims of the ordinance may safely be left consider its practical features Unless we are mistaken the Supervisors will hear from them the moment they discover what is up.

SAN MATED ENTERPRISE.

kI OST encouraging from every point of view the prospects for road improvement in San Mateo. The extent of the work pro- posed is commensurate with the immediate needs of the county, the plans adopted provide for dura- hility of construction with economy of cost and the means devised for raising money will enable the taxpayers to obtain the desired road improve ments with hardly an appreciabe increase of tax ation the present rates.
 By the plans advanced San Mateo will enter upon virtually two distinct enterprises of road work The first of these will be the opening of boulevard from the San Francisco line through the county to the Santa Clara line. The second will cross the
 mountains which separate the county into two parts and will open up the rich and attractive section of western San Mateo to easy access from San Fran cisco and all the fourshng in the eastern DOT ton of the county.
 Surveys made by the county surveyor and close investigation the part of the State Highway Commission show that these improvements are ur- gently needed and be easily supplied. The county abounds with good material for road struction, and much of this lies directly along the routes of the proposed highways so that the cost of material and transportation will be comparatively slight By reason of this advantage it is estimated that the ninety five miles of good designed can be constructed at cost which will entail bond is- sue of only $3roooo.
 From each of the proposed roads large benefits will accrue to the community. The boulevard from the San Francisco line to that of Santa Clara will really be of State importance. It will form DOT ton of grand boulevard which will eventually cir cle the southern end of the bay and form drive way from San Francisco to Oakland. When com peted such boulevard will be one of the greatest roads in America and will probably surpass even the grand avenue which is now being constructed along the shores of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Milwaukee.
 The other road which is to from point on the San Francisco County line southwesterly across the San Pedro Mountains through Spanishtown Pescadero and Pigeon Point to the Santa Cruz line will not be great thoroughfare, but it will open one of the most picturesque sections of country around this picturesque peninsula It will benefit the eastern portions of the county by bringing the people of the section into closer relations with Menlo Park. Belmont, Redwood and San Mateo, thus increasing the trade of those centers The chief benefits, however, will from the de- velopment of the mountain sections. This is cer- tain to follow rapidly, for there are few localities

THE NEW ENGLAND STRIKE.

D ECAUSE of the competition of the cotton mills in the Southern States, the manufactur- - of cotton goods in New England have or dered sweeping reduction of 10 per cent in the wages of their operatives, and the operatives in re- sistance have struck. The mill owners being united irresistible and the workers being united immovable The two have come into contact and the result is universal smash
 Nearly the whole cotton industry of New Eng land is involved in the contest The reduction in wages extends from Rhode Island to Maine The combination includes upward of I5o large mills and it is said I27ooo persons are affected by the re- duction in wages. The operatives have not under taken a general strike New Bedford has been selected the scene of battle All the mills have been closed there, but in other places it seems to have been agreed that the work shall go on so that the unions may have money enough to make long and winning fight at the point they have chosen for battle
 It IS by no means certain, however that the con- test will long be confined to a single point More or less disturbance has been noted in all the cot ton-mill towns from Woonsocket In Rhode Island to Lewiston in Maine. The operatives who have accepted the lower rate of wages have done SO un- willingly. Their sympathies and their aid are with the New Bedford strikers and there may be strike along the whole line before the week closes
 The situation IS not unexpected. When the re- duction of wages first discussed the mill own CTS were informed that strike would follow All attempts at arbitration failed Even that famous Massachusetts Court of Arbitration of which we have heard so much of late was as poweress and futile in its efforts to stop the advancing crisis as any volunteer arbitrator who thought he had rem edy for all the problems of labor and capital and rose out of obscurity to announce it.
 Of course the parties to the strike on both sides know their own business better than others Never theless 1t is difficult to how either the owners the operatives can expect gain advantage over their Southern rivals by the course they have pur- sued. Reducing wages is game that two can play at and Southern mill men can play It much more safely than their New England rivals The reduc- ton of seems therefore to have been foolish move at the outset, and the operatives have made the blunder more costly to the industry by forcing the closing down of mills.
 The New England industry is destroying itself by the course 1t IS pursuing. The Southern mills will be quick to get the trade the Northern mills formerly possessed All business lost by the strike will go South; and when the strike is over the New Englanders will have harder task than ever to hold their own. There may be some causes that are advanced by strikes, but the improvement of busi- ness is not of them

near San Francisco where country homes be so romantcay placed so delightfully."- situated as in the region through which the road is to run.
 When San Mateo begins these works of improve ment the adjoining counties will be virtually forced to follow her enterprisng lead. San Francisco will have to extend her boulevard system to connect with that of her progressive neghbor. Santa Cruz and Santa Clara will have to do likewise The move ment therefore is one in which all this section of the State is interested. There will no doubt be op- position from the sluggish and wasteful who would rather spend $2 to patch up bad road than to pay s for good one, but this We trust will be come without difficulty. The progressive element won the Folsom-boulevard contest in Sacramento and we expect 1t to win an equal victory in San Mateo
