A COMMERCIAL MUSEUM.

c 0 much has been said throughout the East Of
the wonderful work which has been accom-
- plished by the Philadelphia Commercial Mu-
scum and the men who maintain it that it seems well
assured such institutions are among the most bene-
fetal commercial community can establish and sup
port Out of the museum there has come to Phila-
delphia a great export exposition and commercial
congress which was in every respect the most i'm
pressive of its kind that ever assembled That much
has been achieved for one city, but the wider effects
of the have been felt in all the larger Eastern
cities and have been everywhere noted and appre-
ciated
In his address at the Commercial Congress ex-
Senator Edmunds described the work of the museum,
he being a trustee OF the institution since its organi-
zation. In the course OF his speech he sad
1T is not private corporations it is not BODY Of
gentlemen associated for gain, nor State or ma

organization, whose purpose and design and
whose work have been devoted to the increase of in
dustrial commercial intercourse among all nations
It has gathered in its museums year after year the
products of almost every cline and the manufactures
of almost every country the face of the globe be-
ginning with the simplest products, in order
that her artisans and producers of manufactured
goods could see where they could obtain the advan-

THE DAYS OF '4o.

N his campaign Mr. Phelan plays on a harp OF
many strings, and is in danger of wearing some Of
them out He continues to accuse the Repub-
icans OF treason, and OF being enemies of the people
and at the same time begs OF them to vote for him
and to bolt their ticket. The present Board of
Supervisors, with Republican majority, has not
waited for the charter but has instituted some
commendabe reforms, and thereby stands in marked
contrast to its predecessor, which was largely COM
posed OF men OF Mr. Phelan's selection But he
denies that the present board is entitled to any credit
for its reforms, He, Phean the Mighty forced it
to be a reform board He has recently fallen into
torrid praise Of Mr.. Joseph Britton, his Republican
supporter, and so far the only one publicly known
Phelan praises his age, calls him "thc Grand Old
Man" and other pet names Age is a merit in men
who support Phelan, but an offense in men who op-
pose him.
In his speech in the Twenty-eighth Assembly Dis
rict the 18th inst he said This is the days Of
40. Republicans bring out old men from the past
We are not old men"
1t is really to be hoped that Mr. Phean's intended
reforms do not contemplate disfranchising cid men,
or having them knocked in the head. These whom he
calls old men and at so fippantly had the
hood to marry and families bearing their name
and the genius and courage to lay the foundations OF
Our institutions Mr.. Phean himself is descended
from their class unless he intends to go back to the
Greek myth and declare himself se-creatve, or like
Topsy insist that he "jes' growed." These old men
at least had the energy to earn their fortunes
and to create the conditions in which Mr. Phelan,
without any elf-exerton, became and remains mil
lonaire
1t is wonder that he does not order the Bear flag
torn down. the State seal battered and everybody
older than himself to jail for the high crime and
msdemeanor OF age and experience.
He is singulary given to the division OF the people
into classes. He first divided the people into Demo
and traitors the latter being Republicans who
will not bolt their ticket and support him. Now he
divides them into Democrats and old pen, the latter
being those who do not support him and therefore
are denounced as Forty Miners who OF course ought
to die out of Mr. Phelans way and let him run things
on a strictly anti-'4o basis.

Upton WILL TRY again.

c IR THOMAS Upton, who bears his de-
feat with an equanimity that commands the re-
- spect OF all, announces that he will challenge the
New York Yacht Club for another contest for the
Americas cup in 1901, and will once about de-
signing a craft to make the In the meantime
he has suggested the New Workers the advsability
OF taking the Columbia to Europe next year and
assures them if they do the Shamrock will try her
again.
There Is nothing in the suggestion that implies dis
content with the circumstances or the terms under
which the races were held off Sandy Hook 1t
means no more than that Upton has carried into
yacht-racng something Of the vgor which has
marked him in business, and he doesn't like to stop
while loser, He evidently believes in his boat and
while he purposes to build better one If British
skill can do it, he would like to give the Shamrock
another chance to win while the new boat is being
constructed,
Whether the Columbia will be taken abroad next
year WILL of course depend upon many things. There
may be circumstances which would render such
course nexpedient. 1t would be gratifying however
the American public to have her go over and give
the Shamrock trial in the Shamrock's own waters
1t has been notable victory to defend the cup at
home, but it would be greater victory still to
the best yachts OF Europe the famous yachting
in European waters and bring other cups and
trophies to attest her invincible superiority over
every craft of her kind the Old World can furnish
The extent to which Upton is ready to go to win
the Americas cup is shown by his statement that the
cost of the Shamrock alone, without including the
expense Of her or anything else was about
$500 900. The new yacht he intends to order will
certainly not cost less. His expenditures therefore
will far exceed the million mark and his Yachting en-
terprses will have to be included among the largest
in which he is engaged
If the construction of yachts ended with racing
able The beneficial effects of the contests however
far reaching Just horse racing has led to the
improvement in the breeds Of horses which have
given the splendid horse of to-day SO the racing
of yachts has led to Improvement in the construc-
ton of nearly all kinds of sailing craft and has ma
terialy stimulated seamanship The vast sums ex-
pended for yachts therefore have not been wasted
Shipbulders have learned from the contests some
thing which has been OF advantage to commerce and
to industry.
One reason given by Upton for desiring the Co.
lumba to cross the ocean is that she would teach
Europe lesson in yacht-building He is quoted rs
saying: Il sincerely hope she will cross the Atlantic
if for other purpose than to show them over there
what Yankee yacht is like. You can take nv word
for it she would sweep everything before her. Such
appreciation OF the merits OF our boat shows we have
foeman worthy of most generous rivalry, and
it is to be hoped the Columbia will be taken across
the seas next to meet her old rival and all other
yachts that dare to enter race with her.

sUZERAINTY-sub City. suz-
erainty means paramount authority or
command. 1t is derived from suzerain,
which is lord paramount or a holder of a
flef when other fief depend. 1t also means
the supreme or highest lord. but in feudal
usage, a superior lord to whom fealty is
due. According to the feudal system as
developed in Northern Europe, every
owner Of allodial lands was compelled to
acknowledge himself the vassal of a SUI
Grain, and do homage to him for his
lands; the term suzerain was applied less
to the king than to his VaSsalS who mad
su-vassals holding of them. By alIodial
is meant free Of rent, Independent.
AN ESTATES, City. If a man adopts
a boy according to law, dies and in the
will it appears that the adopted boy has
been made the sole heir with the proviso
that he cannot inherit until he reaches
the age of twenty; should the adopted
son die before he attains that age and did
not leave a will the property would go
to his heirs according to the law of sue
Cession. If he was taken sick and death
was apparent, he would have the right
to will the property which would come to
him at the age given in the will. If a
legatte dies during the life time of the
testator the testamentary disposition to
him fails.
AVERAGE RAINFALL-W. M, Santa
Rosa, Cal. An average of ''the rainfall
of the State Of California since 1867
would require an immense amount of
compilation and when completed would
not be of any value, for it would not be
anything upon which to base any calcu-
lation for the reason that in some parts
Of the State at times there is a great
deal of precipitation, while in others dur
ing the same season there is but little.
The average in particular localities can
be furnished, as. for instance, in San
Francisco the average of the rain of fifty
seasons is 2301: the heaviest during any
year was in 1854 when it reached 3SS2,
and the lowest was in 1898, when it was
but 9.31. The rainfall from October l.

THE CHARTER SUSTAINED.

y T last the long struggle over the new charter
| \ is at an end It has been approved by the
people, ratified by the Legislature and con-
frlned by the Supreme Court. 1t has been sub
lnitted to every form OF trial known laws and
has been upheld at every test All doubts to its
validity are now dissipated The new charter is to
be the organic law OF the city and the affairs OF the
municipality will be administered in accord with
its provisions by the officers who to be elected
this iaIl
The decision OF the court will be received with gen
eral qualification. Years have passed since the e-
forts OF the people began to obtain charter COM
mensurate with the needs OF the city and framed in
accordance with the popular desire, and thousands
Of dollars have been expended in the various at
tempts to obtain one 1t would therefore have been
serious loss to the community had the Supreme
Court found the new instrument detective in any
particular or invalid upon any ground whatever
By the decision the atmosphere has been cleared
OF the last lingering opposition to the charter. The
avenues OF municipal reform, Improvement and
progress provided by it open and secure
The one duty that remains to the people is to elect
officers who will wisely administer the powers which
will be theirs when placed in Office, That is the issue
OF the campaign. The charter is secure and let
us make good government under it equally by
electing men who are to be counted on to apply it
with wisdom, public spirit, economy and civic
patriotism
For some time past certain Democratic politicians
and papers have claimed the charter as Democratic
production. The claim has had no foundation in fact
and has never deceived intelligent citizens who are
aware that when submitted to the Of the people
the charter was sustained by votes in Republican
districts and was ratified by Republican Legisla-
ture All that, however, is now out Of the question
The decision Of the Supreme Court takes the char
ter out ofthe domain of controversy and makes it
the constitution OF the municipality, the law of the
whole people. Nothing but demagogy can attempt
to make it partisan issue and none but the dupes
of demagogues will be misled by such attempts.
