ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT.

is expected that Jerry Simpson ana other ferries
will attack the President personally IN connection
with public policies, and it is not expected that
thew will be scrupuous in picking the mud they
throw, But when the President is attacked from his
own noitical household the matter takes totally
different aspect Mr. Johnson of Indiana who here
toore commanded much respect by his independence
in voting on public questions, has compelled disre-
spect by his personal attack the President The
House and the country will listen patiently and profit
ably to argument and reason for and against holding
the Philippines and indefinite extension OF our Dor
ders and our power, but neither the House nor the
country heard with patience profit Mr.. Johnsons
envenomed attack the motives OF the President
His statement that the executive has been controlled
entirely in taking or letting alone islands and cities by
the interesD Of who gave large sums to his cam
pagn in 1896 is something exceedingly vile and unbe-
coming. Mr.. Johnson does not pretend recently ac-
CURED knowledge OF such contributions nor OF their
requita He enlarges this piece OF evidence as an &C
cessory but significant that he did not turn state
evidence until after his defeat Tor reelection and
the close of his own public career His righteous soul
remained STEPPED in the su1phurous knowledge OF
these campaign contributions for nearly three years
before it got on the housetop and proclaimed niquity
from the ridgepole thereof. The stomach OF his con
science never turned until he the backs OF his con-
tituency and then he reched in public and spilled the
soured contents of his memory into the Congressional
Record
The country has not been moved to n1utiny and
rage against the President by this exhibition and the
only effect visible is the exertion OF stepping over the
niuss Mr. Johnson made in getting rid OF something
which if he had at ALL was of the condolences that
public men respect Plain and honest people think
that if he felt so about campaign contributions and
knew that these had been made he should have re-
signed his seat long ago and appeared in the political
highway with his staff and scrip to denounce the in
iuuity which has nauseated him only just now so long
after the fact
The opponents of expansion and all for which 1t
stands will keenly regret that Mr. Johnson and his
eInetic emotions are not on the other side of the
question and will begin despair at the sinister pros
pect offered by such allies he and Colonel Bryan
The President has repeatedly said that Congress is
to make permanent disposition of the Philippines, and
Congress is to be reached and controlled by the peo
pie who elect it. The way to finally determine the
whole issue them is by going to the people with rea
SON argument and fact and not with the weapons of
detracton and betrayal with which Mr.. Johnson has
armed his too active jaw.

THE GIANT OF LETTERS.

nERHAPS before these lines meet the eye Rud-
~ yard Kpling will have been called from the
sphere in which, towering high above all MS
fellows, he is acknowledged master. Literature couid
in the death of any other person sustain loss
so grevous would be inflicted the eyes OF this
giant of letters this of phrase to be forever
closed now when his mental powers can be reckoned
scarcely to have reached their zenith.
There is none to take his place There is no other
poet whose work is maestically resonant There is
no other whose songs stir municipalities and peo-
PIES who, pouring ot his soul in verse, can start
a wave of emotion whchestop only at the ouermost
bound where English is spoken. The power to do
this belongs Kiplng alone. Each time he has ut
tered his thought in the heroic meter which imitation
vainly essays has been though thrill passed over
the universe of intellect 1t has been the voice OF
nation to nation the trumpet tone of one inspired
laundering warnings to world. And the world has
needed.
Not alone as poet must Kipling be Judged. His
prose is luminous strong, fascinating Had he never
written line of poetry, his would have been
secure, He never touched upon a theme, however
commonplace in itself but there in the finished
product the distinct mark of genius. His short
stories excel those of any among authors who have
entered that field for they do not depend upon the
horrible and the grotesque. Some OF them are from
beginning to end expression OF happiness. In
some there is depth of pathos most sweet aud ten
der and true Some have the element OF horror, and
they uncanny, terrible holding the reader to the
end captivated and overwhelmed with sense of the
superior mind conceiving them and the unapproach-
able style of their treatment.
England claims Kpling, but America denies that
he can be considered less than the common property
of the Anglo Saxon He has written Tor all OF
u.s. America admires and loves his work In the
- .l j. A. AMER
fame is as wide as civilization his following not linn
tied by the lines of republic empire
Everywhere there are fervent prayers that the
writer and poet shall be spared, and if he be taken
the residents of the continents and of the isles of the
sea will mourn with an equal sorrow.

THE POUND RESCUED.

THE Committee on Health and Police OF the
Board of Supervisors at meeting Friday agreed
to report in favor of appointing James w Wal
ton to the position of poundkeeper, vice F. A. Os-
born, term expired Nj. Walton is member of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
has been appointed for the purpose of again giving
that organization control of the public pound
The pound was taken from the society by the late
Democratic Board of Supervisors solely Tor pol1ti-
cal reasons No charges had been filed against the
poundkeeper, and there were no allegations that he
had not discharged his duties satisfactorily, but the
politicians wanted the pound, and the board IN weak
moment acceded to their wishes.
The result has been an unending series of scan
dals Scarcely week has passed since the change was
made that the Police Judges have not been called
upon to adjudcate charges against deputy pound
keepers Men have been assaulted women lnsulted,
small boys whipped all sorts OF cruetes perpetrated
upon animals and lawlessness in every form INDUCED
in by the poundkeepers deputies In their pursuit oil
fees these officials have entirely disregarded not only
the law but the rights OF the people
Considerable pressure brought to bear upon the
late board with view to inducing it to again return
the control of the pound to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, but all the influence
that could be exerted Intellectual The politicians
having got hold of the pound refused to let go. 1t
is to the credit of the Committee Health and Po-
lice that it at last has dismissed the political pound
keeper and restored the institution to its old man
ayers Outrages of all kinds will now cease because
the members of the society reputable citizens who
will not tolerate lawless conduct the part of their
employees Besides the crueties that have heretofore
been practiced will be discontinued. Thus the people
and the amin ais will make clear gain, and the
Board of Supervisors will receive the credit which is
its due

THE QUESTION OF LABELS.

~ SCAR POLACK, Hamburg importer of
| ] California products, who is in this State
~ on business, gave our fruit-packers and
shippers good deal of sound advice through in
terview published in The Call of Monday In the
course of his counsel as to the best of promo
ing the consumption of California fruits in Europe
Mr.. Polack said:
California growers should also to it that when
they export their goods there should be nothing mis-
leading in the labels There appears to be axity OF
method in the labelling. prime and fancy being used
indiscriminate1y, and choice being applied to fine
yellow apricots for instance, well to the black
and poorer grade Then, too, they should guard
against having their cases branded as saw some once
In Hamburg warehouse On one end OF the case
was printed Italian prunes' while on the other end
read Fancy California prunes.' They came from a
New York firm and had been put up by the Van
couver Packing Company of Vancouver, B. e.
took them to be Oregon prunes from the thick skin
and large pit but the flavor good though slightly
acid This conflict of labelling should be stopped, for
it tends to shake confidence in the shipper.
By that statement attention is again directed to the
practice of fraudulent labelling which has become
one of the most serious evils of our and one
of the greatest handcaps placed upon the progress of
honest industry. Mr.. Poack is in error, however, in
supposing the wrong to be one which Californians
can remedy. We the victims and not the per-
petrators of the practice When the products of other
States marked the products of California it is
not in power to prevent or to punish.
For time past the New York dairymen have
been making earnest efforts to procure the enactment
by Congress of law requiring all products to be
honestly labeled to the place where produced and
the name of the packer. California ought to cordially
assist the New Workers in their contest We are
greater sufferers than New York from fraudu-
lent labelling, and it is to be hoped Mr. Polacks clear
statement of the damage to fruit trade in Europe
by the practice will have the effect of rousng our peo-
pie to the importance of procuring national legisa

BURNS AND THE PRESS.

HE tribute paid to The Call by the often
repeated declaration that it is one of two jour
mails that have so far blocked the shameful game
OF Dan Burns and the railroad is complimentary, but
undeserved. The public legislative memory is
hardly short enough for the number of extracts
from influential papers in the interior of the State and
for the numerous resolutions of Republican Central
Committees antagonizing this indescribabe candi-
dacy to have been forgotten. This kind of material,
which illustrates the almost unanimous sentiment of
Republicans and other reputable citizens is still pro-
duced daily in this State and in other States, and has
so enormously accumulated that its republication
would require a special edition.
Then the qualified and respectable Republican gen
emen at Sacramento whose supporters have thus far
almost held down Burns and Grant to their original
votes deserve some credit which The Call has de-
sire to appropriate. 1t would be as puzzing to find
any solid influence apart from the railroad and its
satellites, in favor of Dan Burns it would be to
discover any party service in his record any per-
sonal qualifications in him that would justify pal
late his success.

CHAPTER u.

Be it ordained by the Mayor and City
Council that chapter thirty-two, page
81, ordinances of 1893, entitled an ordi-
nance providing for a water supply of
the City of Santa Fe, etc., in which an
agreement was entered into between
the City Of Santa Fe and the Santa Fe
Water Company, is hereby repealed and
annulled for the reason that the said
Santa Fe Water Company has for
months past failed to furnish the city
a sufficient supply of pure and whole
some water for the consumption of the
residents of the said City of Santa Fe,
and for the further fact, that when the
scarcity Of water existed in Santa Fe,
Instead of supplying the city with as
much water as possible, the said water
company sold many millions Of gallons
Of water to the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fee Railroad Company for use at
Lamy and other places on the main line
of said railroad, that the sale Of this
water greatly crippled the water supply
Of this city and placed the property of
the said city in peril and danger of fires,
and the City Clerk Is hereby directed to
notify the President of the water COM
pany of the action Of this Council. All
ordinances n parts of ordinances in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed,
and this ordinance shall take effect and
be in full force from and after it's pas
sage and publication.

l am the mother of eight children and
have had a great deal of experience
with medicines. Last summer my little
daughter had the ~dysentery in its worst
form. We thought she would die. l
tried everything | could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good. |

that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recon-
mended and sent and got a bottle at
once. 1t proved to be n of the very
best medicines we ever had in the house.

anxious for every mother to know what
an excellent medicine it is. Had l

me a great deal of anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering.-Yours truly,
