Flag Raising Day Celebration.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 27.-The
sixtieth anniversary of the raising of
the United States flag in this city is
celebrated today by the entire popula-
ton with great enthusiasm. In honor
of the occasion the old Fort Stockton
was restored as near as possible to its
original appearance, and there the ex-

mayor of the city and a number OF
other prominent speakers will deliver
patriotic addresses and veterans Of
the civil war and other patriotic Or
CARNATIONS will be present in full
force 1t is the intention to create
the grounds of the old fort into a
public park and to beautify it in an
appropriate manner. A monument will
probably be erected on the grounds in
the near future.

a new feature of national politics, but
the disclosures with regard to large
political contributions from the insur-
ance companies and the demonstration
cal contributions will not secure po-
litical preference has created the ne
cessity of relying upon popular enthu-
siasm and party loyalty to finance the
work of carrying on the next congress
sional campaign.
Mr.. Sherman. chairman of the re-
publican national congressional COM
mittee. has sent out a circular letter
to newspapers asking them to print a
notice to republicans informing men,
bers of the party how anxious the
committee is to have every republican
in close touch and working in har-
mony with the congressional commit
tee in favor of a republican congress.
The record of the party and Theodore
Roosevelt's personality are the con-
siderations put forward as those upon
which success must be achieved if at
all, and these are to be regarded as
the central thought in the campaign.
But in order that the necessary ma
chinery may be operated, it is neces-
sary to have some money, and repub-
lcans are urged to contribute 81 each.
with the personal consideration that to
each subscriber of that amount will be
sent the republican national campaign
textbook and all documents issued by
the committee. The committee has
headquarters in New York.
This. of course, is the right way to
conduct a campaign, and the appeal
from the committee ought to meet with
general response by those who desire
to see a republican congress elected
this fall. It's the right way to do this
sort of financing. Put it up to the
people. If they don't want a repub-
Hcan congress-, let tnem say SO, not
only by their ballots but by withhold
ing the funds necessary to carry on
legitimate campaign. And when the
result is accomplished, the general
public will be entitled to take peculiar
credit to itself for having had active
part in the achievement.
1t may be safely assumed, no doubt,
to 81.

THE IDOL IS BROKEN.

There's going to be things doing
when William Jennings Bryan returns
to America. There will be things said
and done which will not be expected OF
relished by the leader of the faithful
and the unterrified.
In the dispatches to The Statesman
from London yesterday it was an
nounced that Bryan and King Edward
had a private confab before the pub
lie reception given to the big demo-
crat and his associates was held.
Now what in the world is an Irish
man-an Irishman who has been vot-
ing the democratic ticket through
thick and thin-gOing to do about that?
Do you think any self-respecting son
of the Emerald Isle is going to vote
for a man who goes hobnobbing with
an Englishman, and the king at that?
Do you think the gossoon who has the
scars of merciless evictiOns on his
memory is going to cast a ballot for
Bill Bryan after Bills" confidential
talk with Ed?

MAYOR JOHNSON'S VICTORIES.
We wot not.

Although Mayor Tom Johnson is
likely to be fined for contempt of court
in Cleveland today, he has accom-
plished great things in the way of
giving to the people a Scent car fare
fare.
The mayor tore up the tracks of the
Consolidated because that company
refused to put in the lower fare He
gave the right of way to another COM
pany which agreed to charge but
three cents. Now the first company
says it will charge three cents but asks
first that the mayor be sent to Jail
for contempt.
The existing companies have recent
ly come forward with an offer of seven
tickets for a quarter and universal
transfers in exchange for a renewal
of their franchises. Mayor Johnson
feels encouraged as he considers the
offer not an ultimatum, but a basis
Of negotiation. He has contended for
a 3-cent fare for years, but his pro-
gram has made little progress until
recently, when he succeeded in putting
in operation a few Scent lines and
secured court decisions favorable to
their extension as existing franchises
in the streets expire. The fear of
these stub-end lines finally reaching
the center of the city by legal pre-
scription appears to have stirred the
companies to action. They are willing
have persistently contended was i'm
possible, thereby admitting that their
previous position was a mistaken one
or that they have been battling for
scent fare when they were conscious
of their ability to perform the SER
vice and remunerate capital at
much lower rate
The significance of this admission is
not local. 1t is national. 1t is indica-
tive of a fall in street-car rates
wherever the people have the whip
hand of the corporations, and public
officials who will stand by them.
The growth of trolley travel is
something no one but the street-car
people have an accurate gage to meas
ure. The men on the inside of these
corporations not only know the pres
ent rate, but they have accurate fig
ures showing the probable percentage
OF increase owing not only to the rush
of people to the cities, but to the de-
veloping use of the trolley by the pres
ent population.
BESIDES they have control of the fig
ures of expense which enables them to
make a plausible showing for the
higher fare. This is seen in the
Cleveland case where the companies
after having almost conyincins,v
shown the necessity of a scent fare
have put forward an offer to take "a
per cent less.
Such proposition from a Cleveland
street railway company cannot but at
tract the attention of other cities of
the same class.

RUSSELL SAGE.

Russell Sage, aged 90, fell into
peaceful sleep and passed away with
out farewell words or any expressions
about the future Mr.. Sage had been
a great figure in his day. He was the
embodiment of Ready Money Brought
up as a merchant, he early in his ca
reer switched to the stock market and
for years had no other business than
to lend money for short periods to
SPECTATORS who must have it at any
price to protect their operations.
Whether stocks rose or fell was a mat
ter of Immaculate Indifference to Uncle
Russell. AS long as there was action
he made money.
AS a money maker Sage was a re-
spectacle figure. From nothing he
raised himself to enormous wealth.
That is a feat which always excites
the admiration of the American peo-
pie. They even believe Captain Kidd
must have been a smart man..
But Russell Sage had fewer friends
than Jay Gould and as many enemies.
Why? Because having made his money
he refused to spend it. The Americans
have no patience with this kind of a
man. If Sage had gone to a ball game
half tipsy and thrown five-dollar gold
pieces about he would have died high
er esteemed than he did. But the
strain upon his heart action would
have shortened the good mans life.
Sage was a type of the mean rich
man. He spent beneath what was ex-
pected of him. There is also the mean
poor man who spends more than he
earns, and he is just as mean. but he
is not on pedestal like the mean
rich man.
The fierce animosity of Sage against
parting with money was not entirely
constitutional. Part of it at least was
a protest against the ridiculous extrav-
agance of the people with whom he as
ISOLATED. Russell Sage despised the
men of the Thaw, Gates, Corey type.
who scatter money in devious ways
just for the excitement of living a de-
structive life. But he also hated in
his heart men like Carnegie, who give
away vast sums for good objects and
thereby create dangerous precedents.
There is kernel of good in the life
of Russell Sage. He was consistent in
his course. He did not preach only;
he practiced. His home life was ideal.
His love for his wife was beautiful.
How many harems he could have hired
with his vast storehouses of gold. and
yet he had none What a flash he could
have made at the racetrack, and yet he
was stranger to the paddock. What
a spectacular role he might have played
in the coarse politics of his state. and
yet he retired from public life after
having served two terms in congress
and never again mentioned the sub
ject.
No wonder his CONTEMPORARIES
thought him queer. He was queer.
