THE TARIFF ON STEEL

Republicans of the stand pat"
stripe are In a curious predicament
just now. The great earthquake and
fire in San Francisco have developed a
sudden and extremely great demand
for steel work for reconstruction pur-
poses. The mills Of the United States
cannot begin to supply it; those of for
eign countries must be called upon. The
tariff on steel is exorbitant; the prop
osition is made to remove this tariff
for the purpose Of admitting steel free
for San Francisco. The proposition
met with general approval till the stand
patters took a second look. Then they
found themselves between the devil and
the deep blue sea.
The sentiment that steel for San
Franciscos reconstruction should be
admitted duty free is too strong and
general to combat. Even the stand pat
Republicans admit that. On the other
hand. if this duty is removed, is it not
at once an admission that American
steel mills have not-and never had
any cause to fear foreign competition
that the bugbear of underselling was
merely token set up and worshipeo
by the ignorant, to the huge profit Of
the steel trust?
OF course, every sane man knows thai
the steel trust not only needs no pro
lection, but that It goes right into th'
open markets of the world and under
sells all competitors. Steel rails, fol
instance, are shipped to Europe anC
sold there, freight included, for lesi
money than is paid for them in th'
United States. The tariff, and it alone
keeps up the price on this side, and b.
just as much as the tariff rate is OF
import steel.
But the stand patters refuse to admi
the possibility of a revision of tn
tariff it would be Republican heresy
Yet the country demands the abroga
tion Of the tariff on steel for San Fran
cisco's benefit. What are they goinl
to do about it? Refuse the deman,
and earn the execration OF the Unite
States-commit political hari-kari? O
reduce the duty. admit the falsity o
tire entire Republican tariff propositio
and damn themselves that way? The
must do one or the other.

denly, the synonym for dishonesty,
greed and failure. The CRATER has,
perhaps, thought himself hardened. He
finds, to his dismay that he is not.
Shame awakens; conscience no longer

youth come to haunt him. He would

THE SPIRIT OF 40

San Francisco has started right In It's
mighty work OF reconstruction. II 1t
pushes onward with the initial spirit
the problems before it will be solved
ana the obstacles In its way will van
ish. 1t is no time for turning either to
the right or to the left. And for the
effect OF looking backward in such an
emergency remember Lots wife.
The financial dficulty that confronts
San Francisco, like all others, is SUR
mounteble, Even I'M its ashes the city
is rich. In the cooling vaults Of !ts
banks are scores Of millions Of dollars.
chiefly the capital Of it's business men
and the earnings Of its workers. More
scores of millions viii pour into tho
city In the form Of insurance payments
when banking facilities are fully re-
stored. The generous hand Of the ma
ton continues to lavish money and
supplies and will continue to do so
while such aid is needful. And then,
even in Its ashes the credit of San
Francisco Is Al.
San Francisco Will not lose heart be-
cause congress gives a chilly reception
to the s2O0,OoO,OOO bonding plan. It will
not sit down and lament because the
war department has charged up, in it's
account Of supplies furnished, an
amount nearly eaualing the congress-
ional appropriation of s2,5OO,OOO.
The only mistake San Francisco
seems to be making is a natural one
and as nearly laudable one as a mis-
take can be. Its progressive citizens
see the present opportunity to rebuild
their city as "a thing of beauty and
a joy forever" Now is the time, they
say, to realize lifelong dreams to make
of San Francisco u second Paris-to
make 1t next to the most magnificent
city the world has ever seen.
But while such ambition is praise
worthy, the cold fact obtrudes that 1t
DO what Napoleon III and Baron
Haussmann did in making Paris mag
nificent. 1t viii be wiser In view of all
the circumstances, for San Francisco TO
rebuild substantially rather than mag
nificently. The means available. will
amply furnish for rebuilding both solid
ly and handsomely. And provision can
be made meantime, in the laying out
of streets and parks, for greater splen-
dor when times are more propitious.
The spirit of 40 still animates San
Francisco. A greater and more sub
stantial city will rise upon the ashes
of the old one, and it will not~be sur
mounted with mortgage to the United
States government.

After fifteen years Of experimenting,
the Santa Fe railroad has decided that
the creosote process of treating lumber
is success.
The pilings which were treated with
creosote and which support the rail-
road bridge at Galveston are now in
good condition, although they have been
standing for fifteen years The aver
age life of an untreated pile is less than
a year, while frequently piles become
unfit for Use after they have been In

struction of the timber is due to the
attack OF the teredo, small salt water
animal, that honeycombs the wood

The largest plant operated by the
Santa Fe is located at Somerville

establishing many other plants along
the line. San Diego has been sug-
gested as a model place for such a
plant as it is on the seacoast and the
creosote has to be transported on water
and then shipped overland, If the town

THE WISDOM OF THE POLITICIAN

Now the reformer will tell you that
the machine is the curse of civic gov
eminent and that the district leader
is the handspring of the machine.
Therefore he is to be abhorred as wholly
bad by all good citizens. But speaking
as the DEVILS advocate, there is this to
be said about the little bosses of New
York and other cities, that they are
close to their people. Incongruous as
it may seem to the gentleman who
theories about government in his club
window, the district leader is a public
benefactor of no small importance and
his public is composed of his Neigh
bors, who keep him in power.
Herein he displays the virtues of
sovereign devoted to the needs of his
subjects. They repay him with an ale
glance that is measured in votes. Also
he is wise enough to catch the voters
while they are young. His is the hand
that guides the May party and his is
the pocket thatsupplies the funds.
1t is no trifing undertaking. There
is keen rivalry. among the New York
election districts for the Iecord of pa
rading the greatest number of children
at the annual May party. Last year
State Senator Frawley was the proud
benefactor of $4,000 children, not count

If Gasoline Car Falls to Work Ii VIII
Be Sent East

The gasoline motor car that has
been in the Southern Pacific shops for
several weeks was given trial trip
through the yards yesterday morning
and those who rode upon it reported
that the machinery worked satisfac-
torily.
1t is said that a number of trips
will be made this week, the engineer
who brought the car west having been
sent for. IF the car does not work to
the satisfaction of the officials, 1t may
be sent back to the shops in Omaha
where it was constructed.
Five cars of a similar make are now
making daily trips over the Union Pa
cific in Kansas and Texas. Number
seven, a larger ear and of a. slightly
different type, has been out Of the shops
but short time 1t has been pro-
nounced a success by the officials who
have tested 1t.
Number eight, late model made for
superintendent of Motor Power w. r.
McKeen of the Union Pacific, will be
completed within a few days. 1t is
the intention of the Union Pacific Off
cials to build a large number of these
cars for use on branch lines.

EMERALD rRERLEs IN VALUE

The qualities for which precious
stones are mostly priced are luster,
transparency, refraction and dsper-
sion of light; although, of course,
scarcity and demand are the principal
factors in determining the market
prices; for instance, the emerald today
is. treble the value it was only a few
years ago. This is partly caused by
the greater demand, but more on ac-
count of the state of war in which
the country, viz, Colombia, from
which they principally come, is now
engaged, thereby rendering it most
difficult for those engaged in the in
dustry to procure them.
The emerald mines of Colombia, at
Muzo and Coscuoz. near Bogota, have
been worked almost continuously
since 1868, and have been the means
of supplying the world with most of
the emeralds in modern times There
We're mines in Upper Egypt which
yielded this gem to the nations of an
tiquity, but were lost sight of from
the time of the Mohammedan conquest
until quite recently, when some at
tempts at working them were made.
The emerald mines in the Trails were
not known until the eighteenth CEN
tury, and though they yielded fairly
good material for a time, their i'm

with little success, as far as can be
| learned.
There are many stonesa holding the
| qualities first mentioned in a high de.
gree, but they are little known, be-
cause, In the first place, they are to
| be obtained in larger quantities, and
the people engaged in the stone trade
| cannot therefore make the profits they
are able to with the scarcer gems,
while because of their abundance, and
presumably lesser value, they have
! been given to the native cutters, who
do not understand the laws of refrac-
| tion and reflection, to operate on, with
the result that they are put on the
market and eventually mounted in
jewelry, looking like various colored
acid drops, and entirely lacking bril-
liancy and those sharply defined
facets which give that reflection
which is the chief charm and makes
evident the great difference between
the real stone and its imitation.
The last few years have witnessed
I the great strides which the various
fancy gems have made in the public
favor, notably when used in the neck
chain; at present these are being made
up with all manner of colored stones
and if the manufactures gives aB much
attention to the cutting of the stones
