that the convention that framed the
constitution at first prescribed pres
idential term of seven years, with a
prohibition upon reelection, and only
as the convention was nearing its end
and so far as the record shows
without any discussion or suggestion
of reason therefore this was changed
into a four years term, and without
the ineligibility. In the judgment of
men, among whom | am one, there
was mistake in that change. In
the light of history | think it would
have been better to have left the
presidential term of seven years with
an accompanying ineligibility. If
that were the provision we should
not now have the spectacle of our
strenuous president playing a game
of hide and seek with the American
people," He added:

many, he may well defer to them in
all minor matters. For instance, 1t
would be foolish to quarrel with
them about simplified spelling. Per-
haps it would be foolish for anybody
to quarrel about that. So, in matters
of governmental policy, he naturally
and wisely seeks harmonious rela-
tions with them. And yet, harmony
and peace are not always possible
without sacrifice on his part greater
than he can rightfully make.
For instance, even in economic

on the expressed principles of the

an implied promise and then repudi-

political treachery, and a traitor is
always despicable. Nor, in respect
to new questions which may arise
after his election, may be rightfully

AS will DE seen from the table pre-
sented the taxable property of the
county under this years assessment
is more than double the amount of
the total of last year, while the in
crease in the number of individual
holders is proportionate, as shown by
the number of individual payments
to date. A remarkable feature is the
very even proportions maintained
throughout the comparison.
The large amount of money stand

that the delinquent list will be larger

HARD PLIGHT OF
WORKERS IN JAPAN
STRIKES ARE MORE FREQUENT
THAN IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY
ON THE GLOBE.

TOXIC, Dec. 7.-Strikes and labor
troubles are more frequent in Japan
than in any other country in the
world, and THIS Is not surprising when
the conditions under which the indus
trial classes have to work are consid-
cred.
The commerce of Japan has shared
in the wonderful progress of the COun-
try during the last thirty years, but
while the trade has prospered with the
introduction of modern methods, the
workers have been ground down under
the factory system into an incredible
state of misery.
No consideration whatever is ex-
tended to the workers by either the
government or employers. The en-
ployers are mere slave-drivers, while
the government does nothing to regu-
late the conditions of labor No limit
is enforced for hours of labor or for
minimum wage.
In Toxic, where wages are higher
than anywhere in the empire thou
sands Of factory girls work for 70
cents a day, bootmaker about rs
cents and an ordinary laborer has to
be content with 20 cents
Excessively long hours OF labor are
the rule Factory workers are busy
from in the morning until in the
evening. while a few minutes at noon
sufices for them to swallow their
scanty meal of rice. On the railroads
it is not unusual for men to be on
duty twenty-four consecutive hours
The condition of female labor is
simply pitiful and perhaps nowhere
else in the world is the lot of the wo-
man worker so hard. The Japanese
factory girl is underpaid, underfed and
has to toll long hours at tasks that
are physically eXhausting. AS a class
she is ignorant, helpless, unprotected
and unorganized.

COIN
IS At A PREMIUM
UNCLE SAM IS RAPIDLY REPLAC-
ING MONEY TO THWART ASH
ATTIC SPECTATORS.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. S-"The
price of silver in the Philippines had
increased sufficiently to make it worth
while to buy money for the silver that
was in it, said superintendent Swee-
ney of the Mint yesterday, in explain
ing the reasons for the recoinage OF
Filipino money now in progress.
superintendent Sweeney denied that
there had been any oversight on the
part Of the Treasury officials. He
said:
when Congress authorized the pur-
chase of silver for coinage into Fill
pinO money, not to exceed $4,000. 600
pesos, we redeemed a lot of the old
Spanish money over there and recoin-
ed it. We sent over about $4,000. 600
in pesos and pieces of so, 90 and 10
centavos all at 900 fine But after
the money arrived at its destination.
silver rose to Ga cents, so that each
coin became worth more than it's val
he at the standard ratio of 2 pesos
for every dollar gold. It was worth
buying up, and Chinese and Japanese
spectators and others took advantage
of the chance. To remedy that, the
United States Government recalled the
money and ordered it's recoinage at a
lower percentage Of fineness. We have
got back already about half of it and
we are getting more by degrees. We
are recoining it as fast as wC-Can, the
pesos at 500 fine, the pieces of so, 20
and 10 centavos at $50 fine and 20 per
cent alloy"
Chief Clerk Day states that since
February last, when this recoinage
was commenced, 81, GO2 600 of Filipino
money has been turned out and ship
ped This is made up OF GAGS, 600 pc
sos, $1,O56,OOO in pieces Of so centavos,
1882 600 in 20, and $4S6,OOO in 10 cen
tavos. The turnout for here averages
81 100000 a month

Cooley is preparing to present a num-
Der of farce comedies and melodramas

nature. Thursday the first performance
of The Gold Fields OF Nevada" is to

ticularly because of It's richness in
characters and action. There is thrill

are characters Of every variety, from
the heightened city chap to the off-cast
woman OF a mining camp. There are

BLUE SUNDAY IN
GOTHAM DISLIKED
NEW YORK THEATRES SHUT
TIGHT. INVOLVING LARGE LOSS.
ALDERMEN TO CHANGE THINGS.

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-New York's
Blue Sunday Will be remembered a long
time. For the first time in the history
of the city $4,000 people who usually
attend some form of amusement on
that day were forced to amuse them
selves by walking the streets or in the
parks. There was not theater, not a
concert hall dance hall or lecture room
omen in the city and 400 penny ar
cades that usually do an enormous
business on Sunday were closed. Even
the donkeys that carry children on
their backs for a small fee in Central
Park rested. 1t is estimated that ac-
tors, musicians and employees of the
various entertainments that are usual
ly open on Sundays lost $4,000 by the
forced closing of everything and the
estimated loss to the amusement inter
ests Of the city is placed at S15O,OOO.
The Board of Aldermen will meet to-
morrow and will reach the cause of the
difficulty as far as it is possible for
them to do so. 1t is thought the con-
ditions next Sunday will be consider
ably improved. The police say that
genuine disorder would follow the at
tempt to enforce another Blue Sunday.
