DISTRIBUTING THE BURDENS.

n recent banquet of brewers in Philadelphia / \ where 1t seems the convivial company dis cussed business well as other things, one of the speakers declared the best way to meet the tax beer is for the dealers to be less prodigal in selling by measure He is quoted by the Phadel- phia Record as saying that too large measure tempted the people to indulge to excess and that the desirable thng,.in the interest of sobrety was not that people should drink more beer, but that more people should be converted to beer drinking.
 There is no froth in that argument It is as full Of meat fresh egg from Petaluma hen. It pro- poses a saving for the brewers temperance for the people, an extension of trade and revenue for the nation There is economy, morality, prosperity and patriotism in sentence. He that puts too much beer in keg stein glass corrupts the nation but he that pours out the beer in moderation is public benefactor.
 The argument advanced at this banquet under the inspiration of Gambrnus is of advantage to more peo- pie than brewers. There is instruction in it for all classes of producers whose stock in trade is sub ject to the tax. The maker of mixed flour will
 find in it argument for putting of the mixture in the four By so doing he will give the people a greater variety of ingredients in their food and will encourage abstemiousness in the use of starchy ar ticles, thus preventing many forms of disease and promoting public health
 Tobacco men will readily see how they check the tendency to excessive use of tobacco among the people by putting more cabbage leaves in their stock. Tea men know that over indulgence in tea is injurious to ladies, and will readily act as temperance agents this subject by putting more dust in their cheap teas and more willow leaves in the better grades. Bankers will perceive that high rates of inter est paid depositors low allowed to borrowers tend to cause extravaganza in the American house hold. Being friends of morality they will gladly act together to check that tendency by taking part of the tax the banking business out of the depostors and part of it out of the borrowers
 In short we about to become nation of people devoted to the welfare of neighbors. The tenn perate phrase "Not that people should drink more beer, but that more people should drink beer" will serve motto for all lines of war-taxed industry Morality is going to be practced and the burden of taxation is going to be distributed in the names of economy, temperance and patriotism
 One class of tax-burdened people alone cannot share in this movement. The man who has an in hertance tax to pay will find it hard to devise for getting rid of the tax and at the same time improving his neighbor's morals To inherit mionis going to be purely selfish business The best thing expectant heirs do is to coax their rich relatives to die until the is over and the inheritance war tax repealed.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S STATUE.

I the Supervisors shall finally decide to remove
 the Cogswell fountain at the junction of Pine and Market streets 1t IS to be hoped they will not en- courage anybody to erect statue of Admiral Dewey n its place. To locate III such spot the figure Of the hero of Manila would be in the nature of municipal basphemy. If to honor the old sea dog which to be highly appropriate, since he saved us from being blown up by Spanish warships-let us erect monument in Golden Gate Park, where, sur rounded by fragrant flowers green lawns and whsr perng trees 1t may present some of the attributes of | work of art
 Undoubtedly the time has arrived when it is proper to dsnantle the Cogswell fountain at the junction of Market and Pine streets. That affair has long since ceased to be even an artistic nightmare Be sides, in its treatment of Dr. Cogswelrs donations the municipality has disgraced itself, and it is emi- nently proper that the evidences of its ingratitude should be obliteraed as possible. The Super vsors have allowed the Cogswel fountains stored at the City Hall fall into decay and have permitted the one now proposed to be removed to be knocked into pieces by small boys. If Dr. Cogswe had had the to get himself elected Mayor before present. ing these fountains to the city his donations might have fared better Yet there IS no telling what will happen to Mayor Phelans fountain at the junction of Turk and Market when his official term ex pires.
 But to return to the assault which is about to be made upon art No statue of Admiral Dewey should ever be erected in this city upon business street II his admirers hereabouts desire to honor him prior to his death they should shrink from the enterprise now proposed as from pestilence. At the junction of Market and Pine streets ounded by drays and boxes in transit and subjected to the vulgar hum of streetcar cables and iolting cobbes the hero of Man fla in bronze would present sight calculated to shock the artistic of Zulu chief No such desc cration should be considered for moment. If Ad- miral Dewey to visit San Francisco-which he will in the uturethe fight of himself in such spot might prove more disastrous than Spanish she'll
 We heartily in favor of honoring the naval won der of the century, but let by all place him in Golden Gate Park along with Garfield Haleck Key, Douglas Tilden's bal-payer and the others In that beautiful place the trees the flowers the grasses the sunshine and the birds will inspire those who contemplate him with something of the poetic grandeur that ought to surround the figure of so great an American.
 It gives one chill to think of Admiral Dewey's statue the intersection of Pine and Market streets amid the drays, the cobbles and the boxes in transit Dr. Cogswes fountain ought to be removed, but for Heavens sake do not let put Deweys in his place Future generations will mob some of our artistic creations anyhow, and should aim to give posterty as little offense as possible.

there is hope of reaching. To climb the pole would of course be to get be- yond this limitation, and yet there is no reason to believe that the pole is so constituted that nimble Pete could shin it. Assuredly the pole is not 500 miles high, even if it has proportions such as may be measured, and if it were of this imposing length the diff1- culty of scaling it would be almost in- surmountable. It is for these reasons I deem Peter adrift from the mooring of veracity and floating on a sea of guff The last word is not elegant, but it seems to fit Peters case.

 This rough shufaing of personal fortunes by the rude hand of war has just begun. It will go from month to month The cards will fall as time and chance determine and will be dealt out in com binations.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS - Questioner, City An article on the Philippine Islands giving statistics was published in the San Francisco Call May 19, page 5.
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-26

The German papers are funny They view with horror the prospect that the United States may one day own the Philippines. The plan seems to them wicked. A great nation absorb those defenseless islands? Never, if the leu tonic editor can help it, and he as- suages his wrath in measures of cool ing beer. Having assuaged he returns to his work and by a few strokes of his pen makes beautifully clear the fact that for Germany to take the islands is nothing less than a sacred duty. And meantime that man Dewey acts as though he did not care ration what the journalists of Berlin were instruct ing him to do.
 Far be 1t from me to say that Peter B. Cox is a liar. I limit myself to the privilege of thinking him one. and both picturesque and colossal His claim that when he went from Arctic wilds to London there was placed in the bank there to his credit the sum of $3, 900 .OO( fails to enlist the approval of the iudg. ment. With such a sum at command he would have whooped things lIp in England until the overflow of enthusi. asm had reached and made radiant the Continent. He would have shared at. tention with the Kaiser and the war cloud.

On the stage Richard Mansfield is one of the most finished of actors. Off the stage he Is an insufferable, snarling, overbearing, ridiculous snob. One ad- mires him in the play and wants to kick him when the curtain rings down. Therefore the report that Mansfield is to leave the United States causes mixed emotions. We will try to get along. There are other actors who are fairly competent and yet who in private life are not ashamed to be civil.
 As rule Magee's Circular portraying the latest features of realty does not contain matter of general interest, but the current number has an article which strikes my fancy as affording opportunity for debate. The Circular laments that so many large and ex- pensive houses have been built in this city, and declares that every one cost ing more than $50,000 is a mistake. It bewails the outlay essential to the maintaining of such establishments, and as to the money put into mansions now standing empty 1t fairly moans. Think" it says, "of that sum forever lost" All of which, with the wisdom of the mansionless, I regard as non- sense When a man employs money in the construction of a palace, the money is not lost. It passes from the pocket of the builder, but the community gains. The Circular seems to look upon this money as though instead of going

Railroad Blu siness Stacking Up

Business has begun to decrease on the
railroad and there is not much likeli-
hood of there being the great number of
crews running this summer that was
claimed short time ago. Shipping of
coal from the Wyoming fields to San
Francisco was expected to cause a large
increase in the railroads business but
Tor some reason it has been suddenly
stopped and now empty coal cars are be-
ing sent west in trains. The early fruit
crop OF California will amount to prac-
ucally nothing more this year, so the
present outlook is for very dull spring
on the railroad instead of the extremely
lively one that was expected.-Silver
