THAT DOUBTFUL DEWEY HOME,

1t may be all right to raise fund to
buy Admiral Dewey a home and pre-
sent it to him ON his arrival. We are
not prepared to say that it Is improper
to pass the plate to take up a collec-
ton for such a purpose though We have
a thought or two about it; nor are we
to be understood as impugning the mo-
let us consider a few things.
Dewey may not want a home. He
is a widower unlikely to marry and
probably, has no one dependent upon
him and from the habit of his life is
probably unwilling and unsuited to
maintain q home establishment without
a wife. He has no daughter or other
near female kin to place at the head
of his home He may not be disposed
to have his home in Washington even
il he sets UP an establishment. While
as Admiral Washington must be his
headquarters it is not necessarily the
place of his home
We doubt very much whether Dewey
purse. He is plain liver. a simple, I'M
ostentatious man, yet proud withal,
With plenty of Yankee independence.
His $4,000 salary as Admiral is am
pie for his needs. He has been a saw
ing man and with his prize money has
a snug purse already. He will have
plenty to 1--we upon in high form and
a good margin to put away. Who
knows If Dewey wants to bear the ex-
psnse Of maintaining a house that is to
cost $4,000? Admiral Dewey will
never be unsalaried but either in ac-
tive or retired service will be under sal
airy by the Government to the tune of
nearly 81 600 a month at the lowest.
Why then, under all the conditions
raise $4,000 for Dewey? VIII it not
be fnobler far to raise a fund in Dewey's
honor to be devoted wholly TO securing
permanent well paying employment for
honorably discharged men Of the navy,
and for this better care Of those disabled
by reason Of service in the army and
navy? What a splendid monument
such q fund would be in honor of
Dewey. Here the other day a poor
fellow honorably discharged from the
navy attempted to commit suicide in
Oakland, because he was destitute and
could find no employment. He was a
gunner's mate on the flagship at San
tiago ana served his country we'll
nd flaaya as.a QffnaysS and tha1-c mill
be more. When the boys come
marching home many poor fellow is
certain to find himself strapped, with
out money or means OF securing it hon
orably. These men will want employ
int and that too right away Let
usi bend our energies TO care for these
plen rather than raise funds to buy a
home for hero whom we are not sure
wants an establishment, and whom we
cannot be assured viii receive a gift
of money as token Of the esteem of
his fellow citizens.
In fact we have very grave doubts
about his accepting such a gift; we
have mona whatever concerning the use
fulness of a very large fund to be en-
ployed in the interest of the returning
volunteers to prove to them that re-
publics are not ungrateful, and that
our gratitude takes more substantial
forms than words. brass bands, flower
&trewn streets, sandwiches and coffee,
and the smiles for an hour or two OF a
host of pretty women.

Importance in the history of civiliza-

The President is coming to California.
The Capital City Was the first to invite
him, and he accepted. In the last cam
paign the Republicans earned a right
to have a Senator for six years. but
it was jeopardized by the legislative
failure to elect. This sends the case a
second time to the people, and gives
the Democracy two chances to win.
There ought, therefore, to be a special
meeting of the Legislature to elect a
Senator, and it should be in session
when the President arrives. The State
Agricultural Society should ascertain
the date of the Presidents intended ar
rival, and so time the State Fair that
he can visit it. If it is as late as Octo-
Der, no matter; fact is, September is
too early for the fair anyhow, unless
it is put in the last days Of the month.
Let us have the extra session for the
purpose stated, the visitation and the
fair in conjunction.

THE TRANsvAAL SITUATION.

Notwithstanding the TACT that lhe
English are attempting to laugh the
matter out of court, we believe that
the scheme is on foot, and that it has
it's fount and source in English CHI
cane, to revolutionize Boerland, GUST
the sturdy Dutch from the homes they
wrested from a torrid wilderness ana
subjugate them to English rule. The
country has developed, is wonderfully
rich in precious stones, in gold, silver,
copper and iron, and in other mineral
deposits.
The Beers are devout, reserved, ex-
elusive indeed, are mainly a pastoral
people. They care little for digging
wealth out of the soil. They prefer to
raise crops and cattle; live plainly.
avoiding excuses and the common
evils of civilization, and to be content
with to-day and fair provision for to-
morrow They believe in self-govern-
ment. They interfere with no others,
and beg others not to interfere with
them.
That such a system may be main
tanned they have legislated in way
to discourage the incoming Of stran-
gers, have established harsh license
rates, have enforced severe educational
laws, and generally have required the
foreigner to conform to their system if he
would reside among them. These aliens,
better known in news reports as uit-
landers, have so greatly increased in
numbers that they have been prompted
to organize anew, just as they did in
the time of the Jameson raid, with q
view of Selling the Government that
refuses to admit them to citizenship
a grievance of which they make much
land subjecting the Beers to their
rule.
The President of the TranSvaal has
arrested the ringleaders of this con-
spiracy, and just at the moment when
a meeting between himself and the
British Envoy had been arranged to
settle, if they can, boundary, CONNER
cial and other issues, which threat
ened to precipitate war. One of the
matters to be considered relates to
broadening of the privileges of uit-
landers so as to permit them to secure
valuable franchises and to have a GER
tain representation in the local gov
eminent, such as in the establishment
and conduct of the schools, etc.
Such is the situation. 1t is a grave
one, and is very likely to eliminate in
war If that comes it will be an I'M
happy day for the Beers who, having
really harmed no one, except their de-
sire to be left strictly alone is injury
to some one outside their lines, will in
war be handicapped by the presence
in their midst of a very large antag-
onistic foreign element. Thus, beset
by a powerful nation having an i'm
menSe navy and an army at
command. and in close communion
with neighboring savage tribes, re-
sistance by the Beers will be all but
suicidal. Yet they will resist, and most
stubbornly. They viii be conquered if
it comes to war, but not until the
victory has cost England vast
amount of blood and treasure.

SUGAR rs ARMY RATlONS,
Some Experiments That Were Made
in Germany.

A paper was recently read at Metz,
Germany, by DR. Leitcnsdorfer, at Il
meeting of the local Army Surgeons
Society, on the subject of the use of
sugar as food in the army. The lecturer
based his remarks upon personal OBJ
seryations. IN three companies OF SOL
diers ten men without means and OF
weak constitution were used for the
tests, and ten stronger men to control
the same, Before the experiments he-
gan, the weight pulse at rest and pulse
at work, and respiration were taken for
each individual. The stronger man
having a pulse at rest Of so or less
showed an increase OF to Is beats at
work; the weaker ones, when subjected
to the Identical exercise, showed an
increase as high us 30 beats above 30 or
over.
The sugar men received seven, and
and later on ten to twelve lurmp Of
sugar day, each lump being equal to
amount was increased up to seventy
grammes day. The result of the ex-
pertinent was the following In u
scientific sense favorable influence
upon the capacity of the individual was
shown at so to GO grammes day added
to the regular ration, the pulse and res
piration being lower while at work
than with those not fed on sugar, and

The Agricultural Society OF France
on March 3, at the instance OF It's presi-
dent, NJ. S. Tetard resolved to request
the government to allow more tmpor-

The request has led to an order by the
minister OF war to the corps command

ping in this port In 1898 over 1897.
This has all taken place since August,
within period Of four months, The
increase for 1899 will be fully double
that OF 1898, because OF the large
number Of ships plying between Manila
and Hong Kong that have gone under
the American flag and because OF the
greater consumption OF American
goods In Manila.
The total tonnage entering and clear
