PEOPLE WHO TALK TOO MUCH.

= ONAIANDER P. s. ST JOHN R. n, OF
H. B. NJ s. Peacock is reported to have said
- on board R NJ s. Empress: General Otis
Is silly old iool-an old woman-utterly inconlpe-
tent to manage the campaign which conironts him
III the Philippines and at least 5000 brave and coura
leous fellows have been sacrificed by his utter in
competency"
II that report be true then Commander St. John
must be added TO the lengthening list OF dgnitaries
who in these later days have been talking too much
and too rcckcssy. When Captain COghlan turned
loose his tongue TO lash the Germans pardoned
him because he is our captain and he lashihg a
foreigner. With St. John it is different He is for
eiqner and his fool tongue has been turned against
one OF US. What in Coghan was but choleric word
is in St John rank blasphemy.
There has been something like epidemic OF fool
talk from high tongues ever since the craze OF Anglo
Saxon determination set in the dinner parties Of
New York and London. Even Fwbassador at
the Court OF St James, that OF diplomacy and
after dinner rhetoric the gifted Joseph Choate has
been known to speak not wisely but too often under
the influence OF that eXuberant spirit OF International
fraternity and for the tongues OF lesser eloquence
that have stopped over in babbling their name IS
legion.
1t is right and fitting for the American people 20
lambaste Otis when they Will and much they will.
We have got into bad scrape in the Philippines and
ScapegOat Is needed Agu1naldO VIII neither night
nor surrender, the ungles refuse to dispense, the
rainy will stay away from the islands our
troops after glorious walkover march are always
compelled to walk back, and somebody must be held
responsible Otis is in the right position for gen
era lar1basting and can question our privilege
to give it to him A nation is like railroad COM
pany, and when Of its we'll regulated trains meets
smashup it does attribute the accident 10 Provi-
dence but condemns the engineer and demands his
hide
Our freedom to condemn and to punish the COM
handing officer in the Philippines because the course
OF imperialism does not run smooth is, however, not
to be conceded to foreigners. The captains of
Britannia Peacocks have right to spread a lurid
tail OF criticism across the fame of an American
officer There be limits to the privileges born OF fra
ternity and imperial sympathies and by exceeding
those limits P. S St, John. R. N, of H. B. NJ. S.
Peacock on board r. NJ S. Empress, has shown
himself to be as many kinds OF an ass as there are
initials in the and titles of himself his ship
and the steamer which he did the talking.
1t is to be noted however, that this condemnation
will not count stand if it be shown that the com
mander did his talking in private conversation over
a modicum OF fraternizing spirits

VOLUNTEERS Day.

,HFRFVER it may be discussed an assent al
M most universal Is given the proposal that the
w dav OF the reception OF the California Volun-
+eers he made a public holiday Hardly dissenting
voice can be heard 1t IS the popular demand OF the
time All classes Unite in 1t.
Extensive preparations now under way lor
making the reception one OF the most brilliant 1eSFi
.Is known TO our annals All classes OF people,
Young or old have natural desire to take part ana
share in the welcome and in the festivities. Ihou-
,,,ds ~ then, however. will be unable to do unless
business is suspended and the day set apart as pup
lie holiday. Without gtneral closing up OF shops
and places OF business the working men and women
who make up the great mass OF the population vii
NOT have the full freedom enjoyed by others IN wei
coming the volunteers and sharing in the joys OF the
occasion.
California can we'll afford holiday for such pur-
nose We are not an idle people, and but little OF our
time is given to purposes OF recreation One more
added to the legal holidays OF this year will be no
loss to industry nor to wealth 1t will entail no IN
convenience 10 any business or trade. Even II the
legal holiday be not proclaimed the people will be too
much occupied with the reception to attend to the
ordinary routine OF work From every point OF view,
therefore, will be better frankly meet the popu,
lar demand and make the holiday Tree Tor all
In this connection it may be noted all indications
now point to the conclusion that the reception will
be made altogether the most brilliant and impressive
accorded to the volunteers OF any State on
their return home. The committee in charge has
made preparations on an extensive scale, and as d
rule the people are responding cordially to the appeals
for contributions the reception fund To that fund
deed all should contribute Let the subscriptions
be liberal and prompt. We are to have a holiday in
which all can share and therefore all should in pro-
portion to their means assist in making it successful
in every respect

sLAsHED WITH KNIVES.
Unpleasant Experience of M. J. Barry,
a Brother of Bailiff Barry.

NJ. ]. Barry, a brother of Bailiff Barry
of Judge Mogans court, had an unpleas-
ant experience at an early hour yester-
day morning. He was walking home TO
his room at 233 O'Farrell street shortly
after 1 o'clock when he was accosted by
a young woman, who mistook him for his
brother, as they hear a striking resem-
blance to each other. He walked along
with her for a short distance and left her.
Just as he was about to enter the Stew
art House to go to his room young
man ran out of the doorway and slashed
him on the cheek. Two other men came
out of the doorway and one of them re
marking, That's the fellow that was
with the two girls in No. 49, slashed him
across the chin Barry was carried to his
room and physician summoned, who at
tended to his wounds.
Two of the men were later identified as
William Denning, bookkeeper at the Stew
art House and John Bechter, surveyor,
of 81 O'Farrell street. The third was a
soldier.
Yesterday warrants were sworn out for
the arrest of the three on the charge of
assault with a deadly weapon and Den
ming was arrested yesterday afternoon.
Denning said his trouble was with Barry's
brother and he denied using knife.

GAGE and BURNS REPUDIATED

IRON the results OF the primaries lessons can ae
drawn affecting State as well as municipal poll
tics, and one OF these is OF too much importance
to be overlooked. 1t is lesson which teaches no"
fully and how emphatcay the Republicans OF San
Francisco repudiate the bosses who with Governor
Gage sought to elect Dan Burns TO the United states
Senate.
During the session OF the Legislature every kePuD-
lican member OF the San Francisco delegation WITH
but one exception, supported Burns They were the
creatures OF Kelly and Crimmns and the two saloon
bosses we're in Sacramento holding their push 1or
Burns and aiding Gage in trying to bring about MS
election.
The primary election afforded for the first time an
opportunity for Republicans of this city to manifest
their sentiment on the issue There was Kelly and
Crimn7ins ticket in the field The Burns and Gage
push was behind it. All the San Francisco legis-
Iators who voted for Burns were behind it. The
voters of the party knew those facts. They saw their
opportunity and seized it. The vote against the
bosses was overwhelming The Kelly and Crimmins
ticket was beaten two to one.
The meaning OF such a reputation Of the men
who were leaders in the effort to elect Burns to the
United States Senate cannot be mistaken 1t slgni-
fes the reputation OF Burns we'll as OF the saloon
bosses who with Gage are his most potent allies.
It cannot be doubted that Republicans in every
Part OF the State would with equal vigor rePudlate
Purns il an opportunity afforded them to do So
Gage has openly threatened appoint Burns to the
Senate if there should be any chance the appoint
1nent would be recognized by the Senate He has
now learned what the Republicans OF San Francisco
hat he have
made clear to the push as well as to the people

In religion he's a Christian,
Tho he holds private view
That his little wooden idols
Also knows a thing or two.
He's a jolly little beggar

He's a good 'un in a fight;
With a hop an skip advancin',
Twas a sight to see his jagS

'Gainst the MaXims an the krags.

There is a great deal of interest just

generally, in the meteoigc showers that
are expected to illuminate portion Of
the sky at this season, and this due to
the fact that eminent astronomers
have predicted that the Leonids are
due, and repetition of the great display
OF 1866 is now looked for. Calculations
