AS TO THE JoLo AFFAIR.
Facts Which Give the Lie TO the
"Anti-Imperiap Wind
TANNERS,

Whoever originated the maxim "a
the effect that 1t is well to be sure
one Is right before going ahead put
forth an apt and forceful saying. The
point Of 1t, says the Troy Times,
should be appreciated by certain hasty
critics who have gone ahead not only
without being sure they were right,
but at such a pace as to make II very
awkward for them to retrace their
steps when 1t should be shown that
they were altogether wrong. And
wrong they surely have been. For
days the columns OF the "anti.im.
perial" press have teemed with hor.
rified comments upon the massacre"
Of Moros by American troops In the
recent fight in Jolo, one Of the Philip
pine islands.

The work was done by the American

official reports told the story just as
the fight occurred. But some sensa-
tional correspondents at Manila, hun.

INDIAN

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
Small things talk loud to the Indians
eye.
No Indian ever sold his daughter for a
uame.
When a fox walks lame old rabbit
jumps.
The paleface's arm is longer than his
word.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than the
winds legs.
There is nothing SO eloquent as a rat
tlesnake's tail.
The Indian scalps his enemy; the pale
face skins his friends.
There will be hungry palefaces SO long
as there is any Indian land to swallow.
When a man prays one day and steals
six, the Great Spirit thunders and the
evil one laughs.
There are three things 1t takes q
strong man to hold: A young warrior,
a wild horse and a handsome squaw.

TO DEFRAUD THE REVENUE
Administrative Act Provides Ma
chinery to Prevent Greedy
Roguery.

When the New York Times dis.
cusses the tariff 1t becomes positively
brilliant. 1t remarked a few days ago,
apropos of the discriminating German
tariff which it predicted would most
certainly be enforced against the
United States, that we made trade with
Germany unnecessarily hard by our
administration of the customs laws. II
says that the administrative act should
be changed, because the Merchants as
ISOLATION, Of New York, urges certain
changes. THAT these are reasonable"
1t asserts, CLEARLY appears from the
indisputable fact that the present reg
ulations are unreasonable" That is to
say, remarks the San Francisco Chron-
icle, they are unreasonable because
New York merchants who have q per-
sonal and %pecuniary interest in having
them changed say they are. But the
rest of the country, which believes in
the attitude of the New York import
ers who would c%heerfully avail them
selves of the disposition shown by Ger
man exporters to defraud the revenue
by systematic differentiation. The ad-
m~inistrative act provides the MA"
chinery to prevent roguery of this
kind. and the American people insist
on keeping 1t In motion. What the
New York importers really desire is
an unobstructed opportunity to de-
fraud the revenue, but they won't
get It.

Attempt to put a wrong construction

Refuse to try an experiment because
you think 1t has no merit.
Refuse to explain honestly why you
fall to keep your appointment.

SANTA BosA FIRE LOSSES.
Failure Ends Efforts to Reach ADJUST
meat Plan.

OAKLAND, July 5.-Failure has end
ed the effort of the insurance compa-
nies interested in the Santa Rosa fire
tlement This failure was made patent
at the meeting held in Reed Hall this
morning, when scarcely one fourth of
the devastated district of the Sonoma
County municipality were represented.
Nothing definite toward the forma-
tion of q harmonious system OF set
Ting the Santa Rosa fire risks was ac-
complished and the report submitted
by the committee that was appointed
to collect data regarding conditions of
the burned area that was to serve as a
guide to the companies in devising a
possible method of settlement was far
from satisfactory.
The findings of the committee were
regarded as inadequate and incomplete
by the representatives OF several of the
companies. 1t was noticed that repre-
sentatives of the majority of the dol
lar-for-dollar companies involved in
the Santa Rosa losses were not in at
tendance at the meeting this morning.
The failure of the meeting this morn
ing to agree on some general manner
OF procedure in handling the Santa
Rosa losses is taken to mean that each
company concerned and particularly
the dollar -for-dollar firms will proceed
to adjust and settle their own risks in
dependently of the action of any other
company.
Arthur Brown presided as chairman
of the meeting.

the contract will be annulled.
Specifications for a sewer on Va
