President Valentine Of the Wells
Fargo Express Company is a peculiar
individual. 1 had learned to look upon
him as truly good. He not only mas
the boon Of piety, but the gift OF speech
and the manner in which he can ad-
dress young men, counseltng them from
the error of their ways, would toucn
the heart were it not for the unfortu-
nate knowledge that Valentine has re-
fused to permit the concern which ne
directs and adorns to pay its share or
the war tax He has gone so far as
to write a pamphlet about the matter,
setting forth clearly that Wells-Fargo
folk are not as other men are, but nave
the blessed privilege of forcing the rest
of the world to pay Wells-Far taxes.
It doesn't look right to me, but then
1 am no Valentine. So deeply have
I been puzzled as to be glad that the
matter is going into the courts. 1t
Valentine objects to the ordeal, 1 sug-
gest the simple remedy Of doing as
! other people do. To pay a legitimate
tax is really not painful experience.
He ought to undergo it. The COM
pany is rich. 1t pays a great interest
on fictitious capital. 1t can afford to
be decent.

At the latest attempt to assassinate

seems that a house was blown up by.
gas just about the time the Car was
to pass. The explosion occurred pre-
maturely, so the royal family escaped,
but the brave anarchist who stayed in
the house until it had become so full of
the deadly monoxide that a match sent
1t into smithereens. persisted in several
pieces. l wonder how, while he was
waiting, the anarchist had refrained
from breathing. Had he lived in the
atmosphere he is supposed to have Gre
ated, he would have died of it, and hav-
ing died could not have struck a light
at the critical moment. 1 think it
more probable that there was no gas
in the case. More likely the anarchist
exploded and wrecked the edifice. His
demise was cause rather than an eff

For j. w. Bird Of Sacramento I con-
fess a lack of admiration. He has
put in claim for $500, the reward Of
fered for the arrest Of the murderer of
some relatives. The murderer was
Frank Below, who was not only an as
sassin, but a brother-in-law to Bird.
Below has been hanged, and Bird, the
betrayer, wants his pay. 1 suggest
that If he get 1t he devote a part of
it to keeping green the grave Of Be-
lew.
In a measure the Muser Of the Delta
is mistaken. He says that when
others jump upon him 1 come to his
rescue. Not so. He is amply compe-
tent to take care of himself. I simply
view the spectacle, feeling for his as
sailants the same emotion which would
be excited by a TERROR having the te
merity to tackle a lion. It is pleas
ure to see the Muser cuff them, play
with them and finally cast them aside.
They ought to know better anyhow.
Occasionally duty impels me to attack
somebody or something, but you don't
approach him with a respect little less
than reverence, and don't excite his
wrath. There is no sense in being
rash.

Manila. which is the capital of the
Philippines, is about the size of San
Francisco, and is a constant midway
plaisance with it's streams of solmn
friars, resplendent Spanish officials,
handsome senoras. gay native girls,
natives in breech clouts, beggars in
rags and pious nuns upon theesplan-
ade. Manila has an excellent foreign
commerce amounting to about $34,-
0O0,O a year, and comprises exports
OF over s.. 1000, 900 in hemp, $4,000, 600
in sugar and $4,000, 900 in tobacco.
AS elsewhere in the eastern archi-
pelago, there are two seasons, a wet
and a dry, which are determined by
the trade winds, but which owing to
the peculiar configuration of the
land may be said to go on simultane-
ously. Thus, for all the southern
and western slopes, the southeast
monsoon is the wet, the northeast
the dry season, the recurrence OF
the periods being reversed on the op-
posite slopes OF the same ranges. AT
Manila, which is exposed to the
southwest wind, the rains last from
June to November, dry weather for
the rest of the year. On the other
hand, the temperature varies little
throughout the year, ranging from
a degrees Fahernheit i'm Dec. (the
coldest month) to Sc degrees,
Fahrenheit, in May (the hottest
month) while the great extremes re-
corded at the Manila observatory
are not more than 25 degree (66 de-
grees-91 degrees.) But the rainfall
varies enormously, from One-third OF
an inch in March, to 20 inches in
August, with n yearly average OF 6s
to 20 inches. From November to
March in the northern islands,
though there is no need of a fire,
wooden garments can be worn with
comfort in the mornings; the sky is
for the most part clear, and the
atmosphere bracing, and Europeans
look forward to this period as the
most enjoyable of the year. The hot
season lasts from March to June,
and the heat becomes very oppres-
sive befor, the beginning of the south
erly monsoon. Thunder storms Of
ten OF terrific violence, are offrequent
occurance in May and June.
Spain, true to it's destiny, as the
most incompetent of foreign govern
ors. has taxed the Philippines to
death. The people have, indeed
born a tremendous burden of taxa
tion. Everything in sight, including
the natives themselves, have been
taxed, and under this system have
been made to yield a yearly revenue
OF $S, 100000. In some cases the poll
amounted to $25 a year and fell like
the dew of heaven upon both men
and women, with added application
to the Chinese, who paid in addition
a special tax. The revolt of the
colony was, of course, a natural
sequence.
