SPECIAL MEETINGS WILL BI
 CALLED.

Aldermen and Councilmen to Meet to
 Act on the Chapel Street Drawbridge
 Matter
 Mayor Farnsworth, with Alderman Petrie and Councilman Shepard of the Eleventh ward, yesterday afternoon visited the East Chapel street bridge across Mill river, which the court of common council has for some time been endeavoring to replace with a new bridge. Several attempts have been made, but each one has been lack ing in something to make it legal and so the legislation of the common coun- cil in regard to the matter has piled up to no avail.
 Corporation Counsel Ely has recently strengthened out the tangle and indf- cated how the council may proceed to bring out the object desired, that is, to build a new drawbridge on East Chap el street. The councilmen at their last meeting voted to rescind all action which they had taken previous to Jan uary last in regard to the bridge, this being done in order to clear the way for effective legislation. It is very probable that the aldermen will concur at their next meeting.
 Mayor Farnsworth stated yesterday afternoon that he would probably call special meetings of the aldermen and councilmen, to be held some time about the middle of next week, for the pur- pose of referring to committees resolu- tions concerning the proposed new bridge. The object in holding special IL L- committees so that the committees may report and their recommendations be acted upon at the next regular meet ings of the two branches of the court of common council.
 The next regular meeting of the al- dermen will be held a week from next Monday, while the councilmen's next regular meeting will occur on April il.

POSTAL CARD ADVERTISING.
No Suggestion of Trade Marks Nav
Appear in the Address.

Many business men are very much
annoyed by the recent action of the
Postoffice Department at Washington
in Directing to the designation of
the business of firm on the side of
postal card bearing the address. 1t
has been customary in the past for
houses to buy large quantities of cards
and print their addresses on them and
distribute them for one cause and an
other.
An instance of the Objectionable adj
dress would be Blank g. Blank. tai
Tors, etc. The form, the postal au-
thorities hold, consists of direct ad-
vertising, and the card should there
fore be subject to regular letter rate.
If cards with such addresses are mail
ed, they will be delivered. but the
carrier will collect the necessary pos
tage from the addressee. Many pro-
tests have been made, but as vet no
relief has been had from the govern
ment 1t has been suggested that the
order can be evaded by covering the
objectional part of the address with

WAR HORSES.
In the Midst of Heavy Firing They
Are Cool.

When horses are hit in battle they
stop, trembe in every muscle and
groan deeply, while their eyes show
wild establishment.
During the battle of Waterloo
some of the horses as they lay on the
ground, having recovered from the
first agony of their wounds, fell to
eating the grass about them. thus
surrounding themselves with a circle
of bare ground, the limited extent of
which showed their weakness.
Others of these interesting animals
were on the field between the two
hostile lines, their riders having been
shot off their backs, while the balls
that flew over their heads and the
tumult behind and before and around
them caused no interruption to the
usual instincts of their nature.
1t was also observed that when a
charge of cavalry went past near to
any of the stray horses mentioned
they would set off. form themselves
in the rear of their mounted com
panions, and though without riders,
gallop strenuously along with the
rest, not stopping nor flinching when
'hC l"'"i Shoch " tne enemy TOOK
place.
At the battle of Kirb in 1854, Major
Macdonald, having endorsed an Eng
lish officer. took possession of his
horse, which was very handsome, and
Immediately mounted it. When the
English cavalry fled the horse ran
away with its captor, Notwithstanding
all his efforts to restrain him; nor
did the animal stop until it was at
the head of the regiment of which
apparently, its master was the com
mander.
The melancholy and at the same
time ludicrous figure which Macdon-
aid presented when he thus saw him
self the victim of his ambition to
possess fine horse. which ultimately
cost him his life upon the scaffold,
may be easily conceived.

WHO WILL BE THE HERO?

Every war prodL ces its nero. Who
will be the hero of the present war?
And will he be a military or naval
hero? If he is to be a naval hero he
is already one of the officers of the
navy; but if he is to be a military
man he may not be enlisted yet. At
this stage of the war the indications
are that its hero viii be a naval one,
for it looks as though the war would
be fought chiefly upon the sea. An in
vasion of Cuba and an extended series
OF land operations resulting in brilliant
victories would make the hero a mill
tary man. 1t is not improbable that
some of those who will be among the
military chieftains Of the war at the
beginning viii enter it with some po-
htical ambitions. Such will not be the
hero of the war, for he will be one who
has no thought OF anything but success
on the field. 1t is doubtful if a po-
litical thought or aspiration of any
kind ever entered Grants mind during
all the long years of the civil war, but
when he came out of it, he was the
hero of that great struggle.
1t has been a very common thing in
our country for military men TO be-
come imbued with political ambitions,
but the naval heroes of the country
have never become inoculated with
them. The explanation probably is
that a seafaring life, by separating
those who follow it from the strife of
political life, discourages and deadens
all political aspirations. Then, again,
life on the sea is totally different from
what it is on the land On shipboard
there is perfect despotism, and must
be from the very necessity of the case;
and this, again, is antagonistic to DO
litical methods and ways of thought
The war will have its hero, but who
he will be or whence he will come no
one knows.

ANOTHER PUBLIC THIEF.

Augustus G. Widber, eX-city treas
urer of San Francisco, is behind prison
bars charged with the theft of some
thing over 100000 he has not been
convicted, has not even been tried, but
of his guilt there is no doubt His
method of stealing was to substitute
silver coin for gold in the bags of
money, making the weight exact so that
when weighed the bags would show no
discrepancy. Fast living and specuIa-
ton account for his downfall, an old
story, one, in fact, that is retold every
day in some part of the country Those
whose duty it was TO count San Fran
cisco's money and see that it was all
right performed their duty in a very
perfunctory manner, taking a bag here
and there and counting the contents,
and then counting the bags. The bags
were all sealed, but the treasurer man
ipulated the seals and cords so cleverly
that his tampering was not detected,
though had the examiners looked
closely at each bag the deception would
have been easily discovered. That San
Francisco will ever recover the money
from Widber's bondsmen is not very
likely; they will probably fight any suit
brought to recover, and the case will
drag on for years.
One of the serious problems that con-
front the people of this country is how
to successfully deal with defaulters and
embezzlers, both public and private.
Thus far no solution for it has been
found. One trouble is that public opin-
ion does not condemn such crimes as
it should while society is too ready to
take back TO its fold those who have
been guilty of defalcation and embez-
Element. Another prolific cause of de-
falcation and embezzlement is neglect
of those who should keep close watch
over funds and those Immediately in
charge Of them to do their duty thor
oughly; too much is taken on trust and
supposition is accepted for knowledge.

NOW FOR REVENUE.

Congress has determined to enact
such a law as will provide revenue for
the government 1t viii be a war
measure and war taxes viii be levied.
The enactment of such law is abso-
lutely necessary and the sooner it is
placed on the statute book the better.
The Dingley law has been nothing but
a deficit producer from the first, and
in state of war the revenue to be de-
rived from it would necessarily be less
than in ordinary times, for the reason
that it depends chiefly on tariff duties
for revenue and imports are less in
war time.
Already some of those who will be
affected by the new revenue measure
are entering protests; this is notably
so in the case of the beer men and the
dealers in coffee. We hear the old ia
miliar cry about how any new tax will
unsettle and disturb business. This is
not a time when the nation can afford
to turn the taxing power over to priv
ate interests and let a saturnalia be
INDUCED in; it cannot afford to go
through the roaring farce of tariff
hearing. 1t is u time when the taxing
power of the government should be
put to its legitimate use-that of pro-
viding revenue for the government. In
the framing of a revenue measure to
provide the sinews of war considera-
ton should be given TO public and not
private interests, and taxes should be
levied upon those articles that will pro-
duce the greatest amount of revenue
with the greatest expedition and the
least expense. Private interests should
not be ruthlessly overridden, neither
should they be permitted to stand in
the way of the public interests. The
nation is not engaged in the game of
politics. but in that of war. Let this
fact be borne in mind until the var is
over. Revenue must be raised; throw
politics to the dos.
