SPAIN AS AN ENEMY.

' HE tendency of some newspapers to underesti- | mate Spain as military enemy Is unwise we
 not making all this fuss over whipping nonresistant cripple Spains navy IS ot consideraOe force and her ships coaled and supplied with anu- l nition, put up stiff fight. That her sailors can be depended on for desperate courage was proved al Manila Dewey's victory over men, not towards It detracts from his deserved credit and the glory of arms to forget the brave fellows on the Spanish decks who fought the last and went down with their ships Dewey himself recognized their tghtng merit when he sent word to the Spanish admiral, Monti]o' that he hoped to meet him day as brother sol dier and compliment him in person tor hs brave oe- cnse of his fleet and flag.
 Disparagement of enemy is not found among the men who fight. It is civilian vagary, and IS special form of expression adopted by the inkvaant akers of the yellow press
 Circumstances and situations make this war one or the most formidable military undertakings since Ma poleon's march to Moscow. We can easily strip Spain of her colonial possessions. They are usteress jewels in her But when that IS done she will make peace An nsolvent nation with the desper- ation of her people for capital makes formidable fight against the invader, and that we must end the war by invading the Spanish peninsula is among the high probabilities.
 Occupation of the Philippines, Carolines, Ladrones, Cuba and Porto Rco and probably the Canarles Will call for an army of I5oooo They will have fought their way to possession of these colonies They will be seasoned soldiers ready to be massed into army of invasion to Spain and treat the world to the novel sensation of invasion of the oldest kingdom in Europe by force from the New World The places of these trained veterans in garrison in the colonies will be taken by an equal force of recruits
 In view of all this it will be that our enemy IS not contemptble in resources or courage, and our honors will be hard won glory.
 If the situation were reversed and Spain were the invader her weakness would be apparent But we are the invaders and the Spanish the invaded. The history of all military invasions IS that the people who are defending their soil have the advantage Two invading soldiers are required to match one who is defending his country.
 little serious reflection will the errors that have been spread by bumpous boosting by the takers and will justify the profound feeling that spreads among the people volunteers go forth to battle

THE PooR BOODLER.

THE Third Street Boodler Qate of Mission
 street, pathetically wonders who is paying for
 the campaign that is being prosecuted against the proposed new charter. The other day pr. Stall lard sent out pamphlet Who paid the postage on it? excitedy asks the Booder. John T. Doyle and Garret McEnerney have written letters opposing the adoption of the proposed charter Who pays them? yells the Booder. Evidently the Boodler thinks Colonel Mazuma has opened sack" without giving 1t call. Ii this Is true 1t IS quite sad.
 But suppose somebody is paying for the arguments being published against the charter? Its advocates are doing the same thing The prodigality which has characterized the campaign of the latter has long attracted our attention We have refrained from tioning it because we think the Merchants Associa- tion the Freehoders and those who support the charter have right equally shared by their fellow citizens spend their money in any way they please. The charter advocates have expended ten dollars every one so far expended by the opponents of the instrument. An examination of the facts will show this Not only have they printed posters and posted them upon election booths but they have flooded the city with circulars distributed copies of the charter and employed to write for the papers. They have even induced the Southern Pacific organ, the Evening Post, support the charter. Who paid for that?
 II the corporations have opened sack 1t IS too bad that the Boodler has been overlooked No such tremors agitate 1t suffered while 1t was drawing sIooo month from the Southern Pacific under its silence" contract. Nor did 1t then burn up papers increase its circulation But the Boodler should remember that all IS not milk and honey in this toilsome world When the corporations used to "see" it. 1t had character. Since 1t became bood-
 ling drab-a seeker after the dirty money of the sums and an associate of thieves and backegs-the corpor- ations have no need of its service Without either character or inluence-a yellow liar for coin and with declining circulation-there so poor as to do 1t reverence.

Being moved by concord of sweet sounds, he pines for drum and fife The military spirit has seized him. He would pass along the thoroughfare not merely as pleasing spectacle, but to the beat and shrill of a Conquering Hero corps.
 When this impulse first gat hold upon the Chief he called to him his henchmen, Whitman and Spane, and bade them find who among their cohorts had skill of melody who could pelt the sheepskin blow the stuffing from the fife. Alas and a1as there none Some could wield the club right well, and others could sprint merry from the place of peril, but a mothers of the lot could be any part of drum corps The Chief in state of despair. wherein 1t Is said of him that he pucked his beard and sputtered nightly.

 A drum corps is a necessity. Without it the Chief may decline to be joy forever. Therefore get drum corps. Let the Chief dismiss certain of his mnions, preferably such away when their vices are needed and fill their places with students of the sounding drum and masters of the fife.

HE SHOULD REFORM.

EO the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of the people the boodling Examiner declares that
 the local corporations oppose the adoption of the proposed charter It says that Garret Nc Enerney, attorney for the Southern Pacific and "shty eight, has written a letter in which he gives number of reasons why the document should not be carried at to-day's election It does not contro vert these attempt to answer them. It places its demand for solely the ground that MT. McEnerney is a corporation lawyer, and in opposing the charter is eommingling his civic with his legal duties.
 Perhaps it is true that MT. McEnerney is poration attorney It is his business practice law and he sometimes goes into court to maintain the rights ot corporations. Perhaps he did foil the at tempt of the Phelan combination to get possession of the government by busting the 'shifty eight. His skill and ability may have been utilized by the Market Street Railway Company or the Southern Pacific i'll saving the property of these corporations from loot and blackmail. So long as he works honestly for those who employ him probably the corporations will continue to avail themselves of his services.
 But the public can forgive and forget all this in MT. McEnerney. There are. however other things he has dore for which he can never be pardoned. On two occasions he has saved the managing editor of the Examiner from a just term of imprisonment in jail On several occasions he has employed his learn ing and ability in preventing the owner of the yell low sheet from being called to for his hbels For his work in making it safe to publish the Ex amner in this town and in keeping its staff of black maers out of jail the public will never forgive him. All the rest may be forgotten and excused but this never.
 As the dirty sheet, in order subserve its black mailing purposes, IS assaing the motives and integrity of its own counsel trust that Mr. Me Enerney will conclude to reform. Should he refuse to defend it, in time perhaps Hearst could be brought book for his ibes and the of blacknalers he employs could be broken up. If the charter cam paign accompshes nothing than to break the link which attaches Mr. McEnerney to the business interests of the Examiner it will have been well worth all the trouble and expense it has caused.

Some Highly Interesting and Enter: taining Extracts From Madrid
 NeWSDaDerS.
F'rom the Mexican Herald)

(From the Mexican Herald)
 Spain has some yellow journals which could give New York papers odds and then win. Here is an ex- tract from Fl Diario de Madrid intend ed to fire the Iberian heart:
 The scene in the plaza was one of frightful slaughter. The brave Spaniards. to the number or about 20, with their beautiful wives and children, made stand in the public square near the ca thedrai fountain. On every side the Yankee devils closed in. Cannons were brought forward, and soldiers aimed their muskets. At the signal the guns explod- ed and the valiant victims fell writhing in death agony. The soldiers then bay oneted the wounded until they died. The This is hair-raising indeed. and think what an idea the Spanish people must be receiving of their foei
 A few pointers on the physical geog- raphy of the United States from Fl Pals make interesting reading:
 The country is not fit to live in. The climate is execrable. When 1t is not sleet- ing or showing the heat Is almost un- bearable. Avalanches are frequent at all times, and these threaten the principal cities. As for the people, besides the few whites engaged Tn business along the try is one vast plain. covered with In- dians called cowboys, and great herds of
 
 roaming cattle.
 One asks himself if 1t is quite worth while to teach people to read if they are to be intellectually fed on such awful rubbish.
 More "Geografia" from the leading paper, Fl Heraldo:
 All the troops of the Yankees are in the far Western part of the country, many thousand miles from the Atlantic Coast. There are only few thousand men, all told, and they are Ill paid and i'll fed and not willing to fight. To utilize this force it will be necessary to bring it to the Eastern seaboard. There is but one rail- way by which it can be transported, and that IS an old and poorly constructed af- fair At one place this railroad passes over Niagara Falls, cataract 1000 feet high near Labrador. At last accounts the bridge at this place was in a very dangerous condition. It need surprise no it still more so.

4 TREMENDOUS CHARTER BUG

C FICTION I4 of chapter I, article VI of the pro-
 posed charter says: "All public work D authorized by the Supervisors to be done under the supervision of the Board of Public Works shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Public Works be done under written contract.
 What does this mean? Do the words unless other wise determined confer upon the board the legal right to pave streets build and pub lie buildings without competition? II they do they constitute charter joker oi such enormous propor- tions as to actually paralyze the imagination. Ii this Board of Public Works which is appointed by the Mayor and which may be removed at pleasure, and which is to consist of Republican, Dem ocrat and Populist has been invested with the power order public work without letting contracts vista of Tweedsm is opened up before the people o this city overwhelming in its possibilities
 Can 1t be possible that the Freehoders intended this provision be taken in its ordinary sense? If they did they have certainly gone to the cor ruptionists body, bag and brooches. It under similar discretionary power that Boss Tweed heeced the taxpayers of New York and wherever discretion to dispense with competition in prosecuting public works has been conferred 1t has immediately led to corruption and stealing
 If there no other objectionable features in the charter this one ought to defeat it. Taxpayers who are always made the victims of such careless legislation this should go the polls to-day and vote solidly against the charter.

THE WAR REVENUES.

\ HEN the financial legislation of 1862 was lAI under discussion and after its adoption until 1868 the Democracy opposed greenbacks with the utmost bitterness. They made campaigns against the rag money" which the Government com pelled issue because credit fell below par and the treasury dry the last year of Buchanan s administration. No Republican statesman o that day contended that resort to greenbacks justified ex- cept by the dscredit and Civil War which Lincon's administration inherited from its predecessor Secre tary Chase drew the legislation of 1882 but when he became Chief Justice decided that it not war ranted by the constitution and had its sole war measure and the only of hnanciering the struggle to restore the Union.
 Nothing can exceed the bitterness with which the Democrats attacked the scheme To therp green back was badge of discredt and dishonor.
