ONE of the most impressive evidences of the effi ciency of a protective tariff in building up the manufacturing industries of a country is af forded by the recent shipment from San Leandro of two of the largest traction engines in the" world, to gether with eight , steel carriages, for use in the mining districts of Siberia. It is but a short time ago the free traders were asserting we could not manu facture any kind of goods as cheaply as we could buy them from abroad, and that by imposing a pro tective tariff we imposed a burden upon consumers for the benefit of a favored class of manufacturers, thereby committing the economic folly of taxing profitable'industries to_ support unprofitable 'ones. s*ln5 * In the face of the recent rapid expansion of our exports of manufactured goods, that argument has been aban doned, and the inveterate free traders are now /clam oring -that since we can compete with any manufac turing nation on the globe we no longer need protec tion. " . The intelligent voters of the United States are* not likclyvto be deceived by the new arguments of the foes of protection. It is but a short time ago since we tried a Democratic tariff, and we have not yet fully, recovered from the effects of that disastrous experi ment. Under our present tariff we have revived in dustry and have so developed our factories that. we are supplying manufactured goods for all parts of the world. From our Eastern States there have been furnished electrical engines for London, locomotives for railroads^ in India and in Great Britain itself, and iron bridges for the Soudan. Those shipments froni our old manufacturing centers were cheering enough, but now California begins to share in the prosperity, and : in addition to building ships for Japan we are supplying engines and cars for Siberia.

BYRON JACkSON. The Board of Health has decided to establish an office in Chinatown. If the melodramatic members of the board would only make it their permanent* headquarters and then quarantine the district the peo ple of San Francisco would be justified in holding a service of praise. So rapid has been the increase of girls at Wesleyan University that the trustees have decided to limit' the number who will be admitted, just as lias been done at Stanford. The effect of the rule. will not be to deprive women of; higher education, but merely to compel them to seek it in other universities, and perhaps* in the end the institutions which have shut them out will sink to a second rate importance when compared with those that give women a fair and equal showing. New York is passing through a cleansing process that is both like and unlike our own. The' New York authorities are trying to blot out the germs of moral disease, while; we are chasing- imaginary germs in Chinatown. The 'public have a reasonably well founded conviction that a process similar to that em ployed in New York might be beneficial here. ; • The Tacoma fusionists are fearful that the .pro grammed speech of VWilliam Jennings Bryan will be followed by an ' overwhelming Republican victory.

Wood Jr. and Thomas Farley of San Francisco are at the Empire. Theodore H. Moore of Los Angeles is at the Man hattan. A PLEDGE THAT MUST BE KEPT. rROM a considerable number of Congressmen, representing nearly all sections of the Union, and from every one of those who represent Cali fornia, a pledge was given last fall to support an amendment to the war revenue act which would ren der it impossible for express companies, to continue the practice of shirking taxes imposed upon them by the act. So far as the California Congressmen are concerned the pledge was plain and strong. Up to this time, however, no step has been taken toward its fulfillment. • It will be well, therefore, for Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and other bodies organized for the purpose of upholding the interests of merchants and shippers and the community gen erally to at once remind our Representatives in Con gress that the people have not forgotten the pledge and that they_ expect it to be kept. . f As it stands, that clause of the act which requires express companies to affix a revenue stamp upon all receipts or bills of lading is sufficiently straight and clear to be understood by any intelligent man. The courts have taken the same view of it as the public, and by repeated decisions have declared it to be the duty of the companies to provide and affix the stamp. Nevertheless, the companies have been 'able to find lawyers who pretend there is some ambiguity in the act, and they have succeeded in using the courts to defeat the courts, and under one pretext or another have so delayed action that up to this time they are still able to shirk the tax and impose it upon the public. Such bold evasions or defiance of the law as are shown in this case tend to bring the law itself into contempt. The people note with growing discontent the ease with which powerful corporations can make use of the courts to defeat the laws. Only a short time ago an official of the Southern Pacific Company boasted that even if a court were to award damages to a widow whose husband had been killed by the negligence of the company, the corporation would not pay, but would appeal the case from court to court and prolong it under one pretext or another until the widow was reduced to starvation or depen dence on her friends, and all the money due her from the corporation had been eaten up by attorney fees and other expenses of litigation. The same course has been pursued by the express companies in their aggressions upon the public. They have not openly announced their contempt of courts and their ability to stand them off indefinitely, but they have put the plan into practice, and for two years have continued to shirk the taxes imposed upon them. The people of California require their Congress men to keep the pledge given last fall. They ask that the revenue act be amended in such a way' that no shadow of excuse be given for further tax .shirking by express or other corporations, and that a method bo provided by which all legal questions arising under the act can be speedily brought before the -Supreme Court for prompt adjudication. If any Congressman regard his pledge as something of no importance, if he have forgotten it himself or think the people have forgotten it, it is time for him to free his mind from such illusions. The pledge was given in response to a widespread demand. It was a promise to the people that a grave evil would be remedied. The evil continues. The public is still exposed to the aggressions of the express company. The corporations continue to mock at the courts^and to shirk the tax. It is a live <issue, and when Con gressmen meet :hcir constituents this fall they will iiave to give an account of how they kept that pledge. It behooves them, therefore, to take action at once.

I have been reading much about ths war between the "English and the Dutch" in South Africa, but lately I have com*\ across a new phase of the conflict. I see by late reports in the. daily papers thai, the Irish Transvaal Brigade in the first engagement at Dundee, captured— or "bagged," to use their own words — several hundred of the Royal Irish Fusiliers. Now, sir, the last event has interested me so that I have written a poem on the sub ject, "a poor thing, 'tis true, but mine own," as the bard of Avon says. It might be called "How the Irish Fight For the Queen," but I have christened it THE BATTLE OF DUNDEE; Or, How President Kruger's Irish Took In Her Majesty's Hibernians. Rev. I. Dempsey. (With apologies to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Knights of St. Patrick, the Clan-na-Gael, the Fenians and other fighters.) On the mountain's side the battle raged, there was no stop nor stay; Mackin captured Private Burke and En sign Michael Shea.- Fitzgerald got Fitzpatrick, Brannigan found O'Rourke; • Flnnigan took a man named Lynch and a couple of lads from Cork. Sudden they heard Martin cry. "Hands up or I'll run you through!" ' He thought he had a Yorkshire boy— 'twas Corporal Donoghue. • , McGarry took O'Leary, O'Connell Uok McNamee — That's how the "English fought • the . . Dutch" at the battle of Dundee. Then' some one brought In Casey; O'Con nor took O'Neill; * t Rlley captured Cavanaugh while trying to make a steal. Hogan caught McFadden, Corrigan found Mcßride. . «.

They had marched to fight the English— , but Irish were all they could see— That's how the "English fought the Dutch" at the battle of Dundee. Spillane then took O'Madlgan; Shanahan took Magee; _ While chaßing Jerry Donovan, Clancy got .' -shot in the knee. w He cursed thfe Queen's whole army, he cursed the English race, -' Then found the man who tired the snot— 'twas a cousin, Martin Grace.

ASSESSOR DODGE is seeking a means of so increasing the assessment of property in the city that the administration can raise a rev enue sufficient to meet the expenses of municipal.' government under the new charter without imposing a tax levy much in excess of the dollar limit. To that end he has under consideration a project of adding $100,000,000 to the assessed valuation of last.year. It will therefore be worth his while to take notice of the extent to which Wells-Fargo Company has shirked taxes in the past, is shirking them now, and will shirk them in the future if it can. Wells-Fargo Express Company- is capitalized at $8,500,000, and the stock sells from $120 to $122 a share. The company probably pays taxes in other localities upon some portion of its capital, but it is safe to say it does not pay much. The Assessor has the right ; to require the corporation to show where it pays taxes and to what amountSi and it is his duty to exercise that right. When the amount of such out side taxation has been discovered it should be de ducted from the total capitalization of the corporation, and upon all the remainder taxes should be levied in San Francisco. For example, if it be found that Wells-Fargo pay taxes in other places upon prop erty up to a valuation of $2,000,000, that sum should be deducted from the total capital of $8,500,006, and it should be assessed for taxes here at $6,500,000. The extent to which Wells-Fargo Company prac tices tax shirking constitutes a grave scandal.^ It has for two 1 years shirked the Federal war revenue tax, and for more yearsjthan that has shirked State and county taxes. . Witli the Federal tax Assessor Dodge has nothing to do, but it is a matter of official con cern to him that the shirking of local taxes be no longer" tolerated. There is a deficiency in the treas ury, and it is imperative the municipal revenues of the coming year be larger than those which have left us without street lights after midnight. Before the Assessor sets about raising the .. assessments upon property already sufficiently taxed, however, let him give heed to the tax-shirking corporations and study the case of the Wells-Fargo Express' Company." • THE MONROE DOCTRINE. THERE is a deal of loose talk afeainst the Hay- Pauncefote treaty as an abrogation of the Mon roe doctrine. It may be of interest to trace the history of that doctrine and its cause. "The National Intelligencer" in 1832 published the following explanatory article on "The Treaty of Verona": "Among the papers lately introduced into the discussions in France is the treaty of Verona, which, having laid our hands on' a copy of it, it may not be amiss at the present time to bring to the recollection of our readers. With that view we offer them the following translation of the treaty, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted, as it is recognized- by Chateaubriand, one of the signers to it, in a book recently published in his own defense. This translation is from the Journal dv Havre, March 17, 1831. Diplomatists pretend that France is bound by all the treaties, without exception, that have been concluded by the late expelled Government and the other powers. Is it also bound by the following se cret treaty of Verona? ' The undersigned, specially authorized to make addi tions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows: Article I. The high contracting parties being con vinced that the system of representative government is equally as incompatible with monarchical principles as the maxims of the sovereignty of the people with the divine right, enragre mutually In the most solemn man ner to us<> all their efforts to put an end to the system of representative government in whatever country It may exist in Europe and to prevent Jts being introduced Into those countries where it is not yet known. Article 11. As it cannot be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pre tonded supporters of tire rights of nations to the detri ment of those of princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress It not only in their own States but also In all the rest of Europe. , Article 111. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the nigh contracting parties declare it to-be their inten tion to sustain in their respective States those measures which the clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorat ing their own Interests, so Intimately connected with tho preservation of the authority of princes; and the con tracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already dene for them, and solicit his constant co-operation in their views of submitting the nations. Article IV. The situation of Spain and» Portugal unites, unhappily, all the circumstances to which this treaty has particularly reference. The high contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engage to assist her' in the manner which may the least compromit them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part_pf the two empires of twenty millions of francs every year from the date of the signature of the treaty to the end of the war. Article V. In order to establish in the peninsula the order of things- which existed before the revolution of Cadiz and to insure the entire execution of the present treaty the high contracting parties give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measures to be taken, they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the authorities existing in their States, and all their agents in foreign countries, with a view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of this treaty. / Article VI. This treaty shall be renewed, with Buch changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the contracting parties as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated. . . Article VII. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months. Made at Verona, 22 November, 1522. (Signed) For Austria, METTERN'ICIL For France, CHATEAU I3RIAND. For Prussia, BERRISTET. For Russia, NESSELRODE. The Spanish colonies in this hemisphere had re volted and their independence had been acknowledged by the United States and Great Britain. The treaty of Verona foreshadowed the purpose of the signa tories to aid Spain in their recovery. Great Britain obtained knowledge of this secret treaty and com municated it to the United States. President Mon roe met the emergency in this clause in his message of 1823: "We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and the allied powers to declare that we should con sider any attempt on their part to extend^their sys tem to any'part of this hemisphere as dangerous'to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not in terfered and shall not interfere,. but with the Govern ments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and just principles acknowledged, we could not viewany interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other man ner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly dis position toward the United States." That checked the designs of the Holy Alliance as far as this hemisphere was concerned, and perusal of the treaty of Verona will show how all of its purposes have been negatived by events. are. likely to be further orders not. only -for traction engines and cars, but for other iron and , steel ma chines and implements of all .kinds that our shops can; furnish. At the present time the condition of; the commercial routes of the f world is adverse to ; our, trade in that: direction;- for while it is hardly' more than 500o v miles in a straight line from California to the "Siberian district where the engines are to be used, they will have to traverse more than 20,000 miles to reach their destination. They go from San Leandro to New York td be "shipped from that port instead of from San Francisco. With the completion of the eastern end of the* Siberian railroad, however, the" situation will be changed. "T nen California ; will have advantage over the East in 'the Siberian mar kets', and instead of San Leandro goods being shipped from New York, the products of the Eastern manu facturing districts will be shipped from San Fran cisco. ".' .. '. " '-?".. . • -,/, In the , meantime the incident serves to^show.the vast benefits which have accrued to the industries of the country from the election of: President McKinley and the establishment of prosperity upon the firm basis of protection and sound money. The tunes to which Republican campaign songs will be set' this fall will be gathered from the : whirring of spindles and the sonorous music of forges and looms. We have assured our own markets with the best manufac tured goods in-the world, and now we go forth to fur nish the machinery that is 1 to help civilization for ward in all parts of the globe, froni the deserts of the Soudan to the frozen fields of Siberia.
