Cator, although coming when there is no poli- tical campaign in the State, and after the subject has been exhaustively discussed, is nevertheless timely and pertinent, inas- much as it will aid in the campaign of education on the subject and materially assistin enlightening the public as to the attitades of the Demogcratic and the Popu- list party concerning it. The debaters are not unfairly matched. Both are good speakers, both have given v to the subject, both are representa- es of an organized political party, and both are men of sufficient force and leader- ship to have considerable influence in di- recting their party councils and determin- ing the policy to be pursued. In these re- spects their debate is the most important that has yet taken place in public on this -discussed subject. It is not likely to me the large proportions or acquire the great prestige of the Horr and Harvey debate, but for all that, it is just as worthy the attention of reflecting men, for the | California contestants are not inferior to those of Chicago in zeal and ability, and are superior to them as orators and as party leaders.

In a country like ours, where everything nds upon the vote of the people, po- ical education can never begin too early nor can the lessons be repeated too often. In the Eastern States much of this educa- tion will be effected by the campaigns that arenow in full swing for the November elections, but on this coast there is noth- ing of that kind to occur.

But it isowned by shrewd and able men, yields an enormous profit, and has consistently pursued the policy of keeping out of all combinations. The theory upon which its rumored alli- ance with the Seattle Steamship Company is based is that it is either the principal owner or the lessee of that line. This seems probable, and it may explain the appearance of Seattle in the matter. When the Panama Company sold its steamers to the Pacitic Mail Company it transferred also the good will attaching to them. This, it has been construed by the courts, prevents the railroad for all time from establishing a line of steamers of its own, but it-is held that it is not prohibited from leasing space in steamers for the transportation of its freight. If this as- sumption is correct it destroys the value of the Pacific Mail Company’s monovoly. The choice of Seattle as the northern con- necting point would weaken any claim that the railroad company’s course isan evasion of the terms under which it dis- posed of its steamers. Traffic Manager Curtis the other day made a suggestion to the Traffic Assccia- tion that if the shippers of California would unite on some one overland road they could secure better rates than they are charged under the present open plan. | That suggestion, taken as it was made, | does not commend itself to ordinar, ness judgment, but if it should be applied to the contingency which the Seattle Steamship Company presents the aspect might be greatly changed. A propositi of this kind made to that company m result eitber in reduction of rates by the Pacific Mail or its abandonment by Cali- fornia shippers. Mr. Huntington is on his way to California, and it is likely that this movement from Seattle is hastening the speed of his special tr: THE C0-OPERATIVE IDEA. It seems strange that whereas a repub- lican form of government expresses the idea of co-operation 1n its most intelligent and comprehensive shape, co-operation in production and distribution has been hardly touched in t country, while in some parts of Europe it is making great headway. The International Co-operative Congress, recently held in London, devel- oped some of the surprising results which have come from the adoption of this plan. In England, for instince, there are 1674 co-operative stores, with a membership of 1,343,518, a share and loan capital of over 1 890,000,000 and an invested capital of | nearly $40,000,000. Their sales in 1894 were | $250,000,000, yielding a profit of 10 per cent. While great success has been achieved in gland in co-operative stores, the princi- | ple when applied to preduction has been | approximately a failure. The reason is | obvious. In eo-operative stores the in- | vestment is money, whereas in co-opera- tive production it is labor. It has been found by experience that in the absence of a governing head which shall require a certain amount of labor performed a day | there is a disposition to fault-finding ubject itself, THe CarLi will give the |among the members, growing out of the fullest possible reports of the speecheson |suspicion that some are sh ng. This each side so that those who are unable to | difficulty might have been foreseen. Itis attend the meetings can at least follow the arguments, and thereby learn the exact attitude which the leaders of the Demo- cratic and the Populist party take on the question. The issue is sure to be one of the most exciting involved in the coming Presidential contest, and it is none too early for the people to begin to study it in politics now. relation to part; AN IBB:EPRESSIPLE CQONFLICT. One of the most extraordinary meetings ever held on American soil was that con- ducted by Irish-Americans assembled in ational convention at Chicago Wednes- day evening. The full accounts of the indubitably that the hatred of Ireland for ingland, instead of relaxing under the mollifving influence of time, has been con- Iy growing deeper ahd more implaca- ble, and that in all probability the conflict iwill continue until a bloody result is reached. Tne Irish now in all partsof the world, wherever they exist in considerable num- bers, are organizing a revolutionary movement for the purpose of frecing their country from British domination. It is not unlikely that England will call upon the United States to put down any move- ment looking to the organization here of such a revolutionary movement, and when | this does happen the most serious aspect of the case will be presented. It is as yet too early to discuss this phase of the sub- ject, and vet it is fascinating. Our Gov- ernment is in the same position with ref- erence to Irishmen in this country as with | ©Cubans who sympathize with the revolu- tion in the island, and the action recently taken by the Federal authorities in that matter is still fresh in the public mind. In organizing upon foreign soil a revolu- | | tionary movement against England, Irish- | men will have to calculate on the inter- ! national principles involved and must be prepared to meet the difficulties which As Ireland wants to establish a republic, the natural sympathies of our people would be with them in that under- taking. * This would not be the case, how- ever, in Canada and Australia. The dominant idea is the incurable an- tagonism existing between the English and the Irish. In refusing persistently to treat Ireland other than asa subjugated dependency England has produced a long list of reasons, for it was a matter that seemed to call for explanation. The out- side world has always regarded the situa- tion as expressing a relation existing between a conqueror and people who, ina political sense, are regarded by England as alien and wholly non-assimilable and who must be held in subjection instead of being taken intimately into the bosom of the ruling power. By refusing assimilation it makes Irish sympathy impossible and bit- England is ready to show that this course has been necessary; to convince the world of the fact is a different thing. It has been demonstrated in America, by thbe closest sort of all kinds of assimilation between Celt and Saxon, that there is no inherent antagonism between the races, and that when they are placed on equal terms they amalgamate as readily asthe individuals of either race among them- selves. 'This evidently has taught Eng- land no lesson, and it does not_seem pos- sible that the question of Irish govern- ment will be settled uniil England retreats from her position or the Irish succeed in a revolution. COASTWISE TRAFFIC. There is current a very interesting rumor which, if true, may mean the break- ing up of the Pacific Mail monopoly. This is to the effect that the line of steamers soon to be put on between Seattle and Cen- tral American ports has made & traffic ar- rangement with the Panama Railway which will operate disadvantageously to the Pacific Mail Company’s interests. This little railroad across the isthmus is the most independent concern imaginable. Had it not been so it would have tied itself up to Mr. Huntington’s steamship com- ngs, published in THE Cavr, show | Itis this that keeps alive | | the fatal defect of altrurian enterprises, | which are merely co-operation carried a little further and reduced to communism. Co-operation in_capital is a principle as | old as business. The corporation is one of | its soundest forms. The radical difference | between this form .of co-operation and that | of production is that it has a governing | head, with authority to enforce obedience. This same principle might be applied to | production, but with much more difficuity, and whenever so applied it must give rise to envy and jealousy. The co-operative principle in government—that is to say, | the republic—represents still another form | i | { | | of the idea, and is found to give generally more satisfaction to the people sustaining it than any other form of zovernment. The general conclusions are that co- | operative stores are excellent institutions and that co-operative production is best left alone. MILES AND THE ARMY. The rumor that the West Point con- tingent of the army is opposing General Miles as commander of the army, to suc- ceed General Schofield, seems hardly credible. current belief that West Point graduates look down upon men in the army who did not come from the National military school. This has been assumed heretofore to apply only to those officers who had not distinguished themselves in service, and it was suppoged to find expression more in social than in military affairs. The pro- priety of sustaining the digoity and efficiency of so greatan academy as that at West Point is apparent. To a reason- able extent it is proper for the idea to be instilled that West Point should be re- garded by young men as the proper start- ing point for a military career. To that extent, whatever sentiment of aristocratic superiority a West Point graduate may cherish is harmless and perhaps beneficiai to the service. But when it comes to the application by | green and untried young men to & strong and distingnished soldier like Major- General Miles, the situation is reversed. Instead of such an attitude tending to raise the dignity of West Point, it may serve only to make the famous academy ridiculous and obnoxious. Manliness should be the leading attribute of a soldier. | A prig in uniform is the absurdest of spectacles. There is never any foreseeing the action of the present administration on any sub- ject, and hence no guess can be made of the effect which this alleged movement against General Miles may have on the conduct of the President. Likely it will have none. If it does succeed, however, the prestige of West Point will suffer, and the able soldier, engineer and Indian fighter will become such a hero as will possibly turn the eyes of the people in his direction when they are casting abcut for a President. STIMULATING INDUSTRY. One of the most encouraging announce- ments of the effect which the Valley road will have on the development of the re- gion which it penetrates comes from Stock- ton. It is that a vast sugar-beet industry is to be established somewhere in the northern end of the San Joaquin Valley, and that its establishment has been ren- dered possible by the cheap freights as- sured by the Valley road, together with the irrigation facilities offered by the Stanis- laus and San Joaquin Water Company. This latter enterprise, it will be remem- bered, is an irrigation scheme on a splen- did scale and is about ready for operations. As it is a private undertaking it is not af- fected by any court decisions concerning the Wright irrigation law. In the absence of the Valley road the farmers on the immense fertile tract watered by the irrigation company would have been at the mercy of the transporta- tion monopoly which long ago laid an em- bargo on the development of the San Joa- quin. The Valley road, therefore, adds heavily to the value df the irrigation com- pany’s plant and to the lands which are thus made highly productive. At the same time it is an assurance that the de-|ers.” At the same time, there is a | velopment of the important industry of beet sugar may be profitably conducted so far as freight charges are concerned. These are only the first of many similar an- nouncements that may be expected to fol- low the construction of the Valley road. R. C. Kerens, the representative of Mis- souri on the Repubiican National Com- mittee, is reported to have said that a majority of the committee agree with him infavorof a short campaign next year, and that it will hardly exceed six weeks. This is the first important contribution to _the short-campaign discussion, and per- haps it is not very important.

The cow-puncher’s legs must be fended from the thorny miles of the Rio Grande, the thous- and mongrel shrubs that lace their bristles together stiff over the country—the mesquite, the shin-oak, the cats-claw, the Spanish dagger, wide-spreading, from six inches to ten feet high, every vegetable vicious with an embroid- ery of teeth and nails; a continent of peevish thicket called chaparral, as we indiscrim- inately call s dog with too many sorts of grandfathers & cur. Into this sawmill dives the wild steer through paths and passages known to himself, and after him the pursuing man must also dive at a rate that would tear his flesh to ribbons if the blades and points could get hold of him. But he cases his leg against the hostile chaparral from thigh to anklein chaps daily bread is scarcely more needful to him. Soon his barbaric pleasure in finery sews tough leather fringe along their sides, and the leather flap of the pocket becomes stamped with & heayy rose. Sagging in a slant upon his hips leans his leather Ulelt of cartridges buckled with jaunty arrogance, and though he uses his pistol with murderous skill it is pretty, with ivory or mother-of-peari for a handle. His arm must be loose to swing his looped rope free and drop its noose over the neck of the animal that bounds in front of his rushing pony. Therefore he rides in & loose flannel shirt that will not cramp him as he whirls the coils; but the handkerchief knotted at his throat, though it is there to prevent sunburn, will in time of prosperity be chosen for its color and soft texture, a scarf to draw the eye of woman. His heavy splendid saddle i, in iis shape and lux- ury of straps and leather thongs,the com- pletest instrument for night and day travel and the freighting along with you of board an lodging, that any nomad has so far Qevised. With its trappings and stamped leather, its horn and high cantle, we are well ac- quainted. It must stand the strain of eight hundred sudden pounds of live beei tearing at it for freedom ; it must be the anchor thatshall not drag during the furlous rages of such a typhoon. For the cattle of the wilderness have often run wild for three, four and five years, through rocks and forests, never seeing the face of man from the day when as little calves they were branded. And some were never brand- ed at all. They have grown up in company with the deer, and like the deer they fly at the ap- proach of the horseman. Then, if he has rid- den out to gather these waifs from their re- mote untenanted pastures and bring them in to be counted and driven to sale, he must abandon himself to the headlong purfuit. The open easy plain with its harmless footing lies behind, the steep valley narrows up to an en- tering wedge among the rocks, and into these untoward regions rush the be The shale and detritus of shelving lands , the slip- pery knobs in the beds of brooks. the uncertain edges of the jumping-off place, all lie in the road of the day’s necessity, and where the steer goes, goes the cow-puncher, too—balanc- ing, swaying, doubling upon his shrewd pony. The noose uncolling flies swinging through the air and closes around the throat—or per- haps only the hind-lex—of the quarry. In the shoek of stopping short or of leaning to circle, the rider’s stirrups must be long and his seat & forked pliant poise on the horse’s back ; no grip of the knee will answer in_these contortions; his leg must have its straight length, a lever of muscle and sinew to yield or close viselike on the pony’s ribs; and when the steer feels that he is taken and the rope tightens from the saddle horp, then must the gearing be solid, else, like & fisherman floundering with snapped rod and tangled line, the cow-puncher will have mitfortunes to repair and nothing to repair them with.—From “The Evolntion of the Cow-puncher,” by Owen Wister, in Harper's Magazine for September. BUSINESS FIRST. But what is tha object of society if it be not to aceumulate wealth? The development of the mind, the refinement of the taste, the sal- vation of the soul? All the social and intel- lectusl and esthetic ends that men aim at are attained by wealth, not necessarily as an individual. but certainly as a community Yom sion. Has the human race anywhere aid aside the pursuit of wealth in order to cul- tivate its taste or its mind? How long would either taste or mind survive such a ciange? The individual mey give up the pursuit of wealth in order to pursue art, but only on condition that the overwhelming majority of men keep on pursuing wealth. If the as- pirations for a wider intellectual vision, for the satisfaction of the higher senses and the enno- blement of conduct, either have no effect upon the struggle for wealth or stimu- late it, why may we not disregard them, orat least relegate them to the second place, and consider the naked economic man?

G. Camarinos, the ex-Consul for Greece, has returned from the Hawaiian Islands. He and his brother, P. G.

P. G.

G. Knapp, the attorney, at the Occidental yesterday. He was speaking of his old Latin professor, now president of the State University. “He liked a joke, even on him- self, however, which was a redeeming feature, and served us a very good turn once when we were in danger of getting into very hot water with the faculty. ‘‘One pleasant afternoon the classical stu- dents of '79—about twenty-five of us—were about to go into Greek composition under Richardson, ‘Tutor Dick,’ as we called him, when Harry Coon suggested that, as it was too pleasant a day to worry over such work, we all ‘eut’ in a body.

It seems that last week there were none of you in attend- ance upon Mr. Richardson at Greek composi- tion. Possiply you were each called away or unavoidably detained separately by & curious set of coincidences. If so there is nothing further to be said about it; but if your ab- sence was by design and agreement I am afraid that you have placed yourselves in danger.of incurring the faculty’s displeasure, for, if you will remember, you all signed cer- tain articles upon matriculating, and one was an agreement not to ernter into any com- spiracies against the discipline of the univer- sity.

However, whatever explanation you may have to make Ishall be glad to re- cetve and report to them.’ “Fred Henshaw was the brightest student in the class, and was looked upon as the profes- sor's favorite.

When the founders the paper | were, in the latter part of 1856, discussing | what would be & proper name to adopt, one of | them saw a placard announcing that a comedy | entitled “A Morning Call” was fo be performed | that evening at one of the City theaters, and | \aimed, “There’s & good name.” The sug- gestion was acted upon and the new journal was christened THE MORNING CALL.

The selling THOUGHTS OF WESTERN EDITORS. California. The practice of importing teachers for the public schools is much too common in Calitor- nia cities, in San Diego among the rest. It is objectionable in many respects. It is unfair to those who have been educated in the schools here and desire to remain in them as instruc- tors. Most of the best educators will admit, | t00, that it is not for the best interests of the | ls. No doubt the imported teachers are | tent_and efficient, but is it justice to home people, who pay for the support of the 's, to tend away for teachers and force the local teachers to go irom home to find posi- | tions?—san Diego Union. Some of the smart newspapers are trying to explain how the Southern Pecific Company will defeat the action of the Railroad Com- missioners in reducing ireight rates. They are | probably all wrong. The chances are that the company will take its medicine without a struggle. And further, it will find that the medicine will afford thém immediate and per- manent relicf from & good deal of the pain to which they have been subject in past years.— | San Jose Mercury. “To err fs human.” Weallerr, and it may | be seid also, that all are careless to some degree. Butin the caseof carelessness, wherein we show indifference to a trust, and are heed- less of our duty, there,is coupled with it an intent to let consequences result as they may, and hence criminality.-~Wheutland Four Corners. Large quantities of cotton-seed oil go to European manufacturers of olive oil, and it is | evident we don’t get what we pay for when we buy their olive oil. This fact alone should turn some attention to the native product.— Los Angeles Record. 5 THE CALL is happy over the thought that if the tariff proves duil and silver ceases todivide the people, there will be & good enough issue for the Republicans in 1896 in the desire of the people to wallop the Cleveland Democracy. —Riverside Press. This is an age of iconoclasm. If another Joan of Are were to arise to-day and to talk about “the voices” that were impelling her on the general opinion would be that she had wheels in her head.—Sacramento Bee. Ii Durrant should escape conviction, he may expect many flattering offers to go upon the stage. If he should be convicted his position on the platform is also assured.—Pasadena Star. Oregon. It is a common error with men of the Hardie stemp to ignore one factor of wealth produe- tion. They all declare that labor amd capital are the only factors: that labor does the work, capital merely furnishes the means; that the | capitalist is an idle parasite, who fattens on labor. There are three factors—labor, capital and brains. Neither can be ignored. Labor and capital withont brains—that is, business capecity—will not succeed. More manufsctur- ing plants have failed from lack of this than are in existence in the United States to-day. 1t is easy, comparatively, to erect a plant and hire labor, but to build up a remunerative | trade, to obtain and hold customers against | the competition of established firms, to manage the details so as to mske money—there is where the brains come in. It won't do to ignore brains, Mr. Hardie!—Salem Statesman. An experiment in aid of good roads is giving much promise in Californis. It is that of a rock-crusher of enormous capacity which is operated atthe State penitentiary. The crushed rock {s sold to counties at cost, and very low freight rates have been had from the railroads. Counties are said to be availing themselves largely of the opportunity. This is a far more prowmising arrangement than the plau of farm- ing out the conviets to work on roads in diffes ent parts of the Stafe, where the cost of tran: portation and guerding is greater than the velue of the work done, saying nothing of es- capes.—Portland Oregonian. .Cuba will be free. Old Spain is too busy at home sittingon the 11d of discontent to restrain the rebellious spirit of her poor tax-ridden subfects there to carry on & big war in the colony of Cuba. The air of the Western se. inspires resistance to oppression, and, besides, heaven appears to smile on every effort made for freedom, providing, of course, that oppor- tunity is largely assisted by the intelligent manipulation of circumstances.— Portland Tomshawk. , Arizona. We never poke in between two newspapers when they are on the fight.

At New Rochelle, Greenwich, Riverside and Stamferd the weather-beaten yachtsman will find hospitable doors open to him at the local c.abs, while the Pequot Association and the Shelter Island Yacht Club are ready to aid him in repairing damages and refreshing the inner man after the dangers of the deep have been braved and surmounted. With these substan- tial attractions added to smooth waters and enchanting scenery, Long Island Sound is fairly entitled to be hailed as the paradise of the yachtsman. King Oscar is said tobe the only European monarch who possesses the ideal kingly dig- nity. He is a very tall and handsome man, with graceful and easy earrisge, & striking courtliness of mariner and possesses & most im- pressive appearance of dignity. Henry M. Stanley has already delivered his maiden speech in Parliament. It was on the proposition to withdraw the British troops from Egypt. He had a good house and satten- tive audience, and is said to have acquitted himself with credit. 3 Dr. Frederick W. Farrar has been instituted to the deanery of Canterbury. His connection ‘with Westminster is now terminated, where he was canon for about nineteen years, ana he loses about £1000 & year by the promotion. John W. Paul of the Drexel banking firm of Philadelphia has had his stamp collection in- sured for $30,000. The Paul collection is one of the most valuable in the world. There are stamps in the collection worth $500 each. John D. Rockefeller, America’s richest man, is an enthusiastic cycler, who constantly seeks to convert his friends to the sport. Last year he gave away twenty-two bicycles, and this year has already given away sixteen.
