The San Francisco call., 1899-01-29

introduced in the Senate an anti-pooI-
selling bill which is different from all
other hills of that character that have yet
been introduced.
The main points of Senator Braunhart' S
bill are that 1t prohibits the licensing OF
pool-selling by any City Council or Board
Of Supervisors, and makes 1t a felony for
any any mem9er OF OF those p6des to vote Tor
the same. This is directed at the City
Council of Sausalito, which body has
licensed pool-selling. The bill also pro-
hibits pool-selling generally, except on
race tracks, for a period not exceeding
thirty days during any one year in any
county in the State. This will permit

Tine thesis of MIR. Buckles great work on
The History of Civilization was, in brief,
that there had been, and could be, no
special advance by mankind In the realm
of morals since the time of Christ. As
Jesus had said the last word of the ethical
and spiritual life, the only progress to be
made was In the line Of purely intel
lectual discoveries-the application of
steam, electricity, with oil the mechanical
devices for utility and comfort in which
our century is SO conspicuous. Although
there was something of agseration and
even of fancifulness in the great writer's
theory, 1t was supported by brilliant
array of facts, and won very large
support among thoughtful men. AT least.
it may be fairly claimed that the chief
advance in the domain of moral truths

There seems to be some misconceptinD
as to what the advocates of the mileage
hook law really ask for. 1T is not inter
chaageable Ri lesge books, but sim ly
transferable m leage books. An the prin-
cipsI railroads in this state now sell
mileage books at reduced rate. but In
most cases they cannot be used except
by the purchaser whose name is borne
ON them. Che Maine Central sells
mile book good for 1000 miles at so,
which is at the rate OF two cents mile.
The Portland and Rochester sells 500
mile book at the rate of = , cents per
mile. The Canadian Pacific sells 500
niile book at . cents per mile. The Dos.
ton md Maine sells mileage books at the
rate of 2 cents. The Bangor and Aroos-
took's mileage books correspond to those
of the Maine Central. None of the

Those of the Canadian Pacific are good

commercial travellers travel now at the

In a special despatch to the New York

truth is that war in the Philippines he
came strong probability, the moment
the Fl ipinos began to suspect that our
I3tentions were TO take permanent pos
session of the islands aand treat them rs
subjects, and the probability was iu-
creased as weeks went on without any
assurance to the contrary on the part of

that time arrives if our intention is to
occupy the islands but temporarily it may
cave us IA good many lives and good
iaal of money to convince them of it.
