The United States Service Club has now
followed the example of the Carlton and
Athenaeum by making provision for the
time when it will have to renew it's lease
At the Carlton they raised the subscription
to new members, and at the Athenaeum
they added a story (spoiling by the way
the effect of their fine frieze, a replica of
the Elgin marbles) and thus increased the
revenue by providing additional sleeping
accommodation. Most of the clubs in Pail
Mall hold their leases from the crown, but
some own the fee simple of their premises
This is the case with the Army and Navy
But the Army and Navy in acquiring its
freehold crippled its resources for years
and on account of its financial position got

A PARTY on ACTION.

William Allen White, in the Saturday
Evening Post, sums up the Democratic
national convention as follows:
And two things gave the Democratic
delegates joy; to abuse President Roose-
welt, and TO prove to themselves and the
world that the Democratic party is no
longer mad. The tacit admission that
the Democracy had been mad was made
50 often by the everlasting reiteration
in the convention of its present safe
ness and sanity, that the very insistence
OF the present condition produced a feel
ing of uneasiness"
lie says of the two candidates:
The contest during the present cam
paign is between candidates Roosevelt
and aPrker-both of whom are person
ally clean men and honest men and
brave man; men whose moral and po-
litical code is probably something the
same. The differences between the two
candidates are largely differences of TEN
permanent, and the differences in tenn
permanent are in some degree the result
of differences in training Roosevelt has
beenia man Of action; Parker's life has
been passed in courts, where theories
are important. A lawyer reverences pre-
oedents in way that another man can
not reverence them. Ia crisis, ROose-
welt would use his big stick, and end it ;
Parker would start lawsuit and get at
the law in the matter.
Each might come at the same result
in the end. Rooseyelt's way would be
cross lots and quicker; Parker's might
be safer. And in the essence this is the
great difference between the two parties
as they are organized today; both are
safe and sane" now; both believe that
about the same things should be done
in the nations politics. But the Re
publican party seems to be the party of
intuitive, if not impulsive action, and the
Democracy's greatest strength comes
when il holds every proposition open to
amepdment and debate. The two great
parties have never more thoroughly ex-
pressed themselves in their types at
the heads of their tickets than they
have done this year. These types re-
present two strongly defined American
moods; for. we are moody people,
though not volatile. The election will
tell sthe world whether the American
people desire TO do something at once;
or to stop four years and think it over
Thatis the real issue before the people"

There is likelihood of "rookus" be.
tween the mayor and city assessor over
the proper performance of the assessors
duties Il is understood that the mayor
told the assessor he must hereafter
swear all persons to their property lists
and values.
Assessor Dick takes the position that
il is a reflection on a mans veracity
and integrity TO require him TO swear to
his property list, and that as the as
SCISSOR or the board of supervisors can
change the assessment if they deem n
right, it is not necessary 20 swear n man.
The mayor takes the position that the
charter requires that property owners
be sworn. whether it is right or nee
essary or not. and that the assessor
must follow the charter instead Of his
own sentimental whims.
Besides, the statement on oath j. not
only to ascertain the. ralae Of property,
but to determine the amount as well
A man, not under oath, might fail to
give in property the assessor and sup
eryisors do not know he owns. and
when they could not raise on that ac.
count
Mayor Yeiser said today that he didn't
know what would be done about il. The
new assessment begins September lst.
and Mayor Neiser said he supposed the
matter would be settled before then. II
is reported he will bring it before the
legislative boards this week for an ex.
preston Of opinion.
Assessor Dick stated today that he
was going TO run the Office as he has
been running it in the past-to suit him
self, and il anyone doesn't like it, it will
be up to him" He says he has not
been swearing people and does not in
tend to.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

A very simple and yet most effective
remedy for diphtheria is nothing but
the juice of the pineapple, which the
patient should be forced to swallow.
The fluid is of so pungent and corro-
sive a nature that it cuts the diph-
iberia mucous and causes it to disap-
pear. The corrosive nature of the
juice is shown by the fact that if a
person In good health happens to take
the juice of pineapple before the lat.
ter is ripe, the mucous membranes OF
the throat are apt to become sore.
