LIPTON'S JAM TAX.

IPTON has failed to lift the cup, but he has
raised the price of JAM and now throughout the
ABritish Isles there is lamentation and woe A
breakfast without jam is almost as unknown in Old
England as a breakfast without beans in New Eng
land and as a consequence the added penny to the
price of jar jars we'll nigh every family that is able
to afford a breakfast
The suggestion that Upton raised the price Of jam
for the purpose of recoupng his losses his yacht
ing ventures is natural but is hardly we'll founded
Upton is true sport. He took to yachting for
Joy and for glory for the delight OF meeting Amer-
can sports on the deep, blue and sailing swift
race Ger the ocean wild when the salt wind whistles
free and the jolly jolly mariners lead life
of song and plum duff He did not take to yachting
to raise the price OF JAM Doubtless he looks with
sincere sorrow upon the coincidence that has brought
the rise in jam just at the. moment when his yacht
was defeated and the jam eating Britons should SYM
pathize with him rather than to swear at him from
jarnless jaws.
How many jars of jam the Upton factories turn out
has not been stated but the jars must be numerous
and penny jar means big sum. The contrast
between the amount and the yacht is the more strk-
ing because just at this time the yacht seems like
thirty cents Surely it for such yacht as the
defeated Shamrock III that Sir Thomas Upton has
slipped on the tipped jam jars of England tax
of penny jar.
Had the Shamrock won the raise in the price Of
jam would have been accepted by Britain as but
Just tribute the victorious challenger the winner
CT the glorious cup, but it is the increase in the
price comes like blow upon cheek already sore

THE MAYORS SPEECH.

is evident that Mayor Schmitz spoke by the card
when he informed the Republican party of San
Francisco that he proposed to be the nominee
OF the Union Labor party, but would let Republicans
vote for him on certain conditions which he pro-
posed to dictate. His absolute leadership of the
convention OF his party was affirmed by his appear
ance before it on Wednesday night. Apparently all
factions are under his feet and he has aroused such
lively expectation of personal benefits to come
from his second administration that every personal
ambition among his people is the servant of his
purpose.
These conditions have appealed to his astrte-
ness in politics. He wrote his Republican letter
when his own party in faction fight His
speech to his convention was made over the dead
body Of faction and its inspiration was quite different
from that OF his letter. In that speech he said:
There have been several efforts to divide this party
There have been well meaning individuals who
thought the Labor Union party was not to be per
peuated and that probably it would be better to fuse
with one of the old parties" and there he stopped
leaving it to be understood that fusion Endorsement
any make or meddle with the old parties had been
pushed out of focus. This indicates that he feels
no need OF Republican tonic and that he is con-
scious OF ample strength to go ahead without it.
Republicans are not much given to fusion any
way, to Endorsement of candidates nominated
by others, and we are sure that they would rather
prefer If the necessity seem great enough to origin
ate a common movement to oppose united front
of San Francisco citizenship to Mayor Schmitz than
kneel to him on his own terms

BIG REWARD
FOR FINDING A
MOUNTAIN PASS

TACOMA, Sept. 3.-The Belnngham Bay
and British Columbia Railroad has agreed
to pay $1,000 to the discoverer of the pass
through the Cascades through which the
road will pass in building it's Spokane
extension, now under construction. The
chief value of the pass is that it is lower
than either Stampede Pass, used by the
Northern Pacific, or Stevens Pass, by
which the Great Northern crosses the
Cascades. The company has paid the dis
coVerer of the pass $500, and is to pay
the balance when the surveys prove alb
solutely that it is lower than any pass
now used by transcontinental lines.
ID. Q. Mills, p. B. Cornwall and Alvinza
Hayward are reported to be greatly
pleased with the knowledge that their
line Will have the lowest grade thr 1ugh
the Cascades, as well as the shortest line
between Spokane and tide water on 2u-
