The fu 1is dead, but there may be some other scheme. n is in New York arranging for the ;ation of his book, and it seems the lecture tour is off. We haye now a clear proof that when Californians work together monopolies cease to be dangerou The Iliinois Legislature shut off the ad- dress of retiring Governor Altgeld and closed his term with a bang. It is hardly necessary to hunt bargains in the shop these days. You can The defeat of the funding bill shows what a united California can do in masler- ing the antagonisms which confront ber. Having got the funding bill out of the way, the House of Representatives should now give attention to the Nicaragua canal bill. A close watch must be kept on the de- g Pacific roads, for the next phase issae may be as bad as the funding =cheme. fa: New York is holding what she calls a carnival, but as it is a cold show under a hout roses or lilies, it is nothing like what are knowp as carnivals in Cali- fornia. There is now a progpect that the Union and Central Pacific roads will become a competing Ime to the Eouthern Pacific, and the long monopoly of transportation will be broken. The reported split in Tammany may be serious, but the people will not believe it until they see a good many of the gang dropping through the hole and falling out of the machine. The agreement of the great powers to coerce Turkey was made known several weeks ago, but up to date there is no evi- dence that the Sultan is aware that any one is coercing him. About all that Cleveland can do in re- gard to the Pacific roads debts is to ar- range the preliminaries for foreclosure and get ready to turn everything over in good shape to McKinley. Last year we were talking of war with England over Venezuela, and now we pro- pose a treaty of arbitration which will put an end to all chance of war. Our relations with the British are decidedly versatile. ‘While not a single line has been written of the new tariff everybody knows 1t will give to American industry a chance to find employment every day in the week at good wages. There is no uncertainty about that. The public hear! s before the Ways and Means Committee have closed and now the actual work of framing the tariff bill begins. Fortunately it is in good hands and the people can rely on having good results. A kindergarten attachment to & church for the care of babies while their parents worship is a Los Angeles ides well worth working out. The people of the City of Angels really do have angelic inspira- tions sometimes. The prospects are that the monetary conference at Indiznapolis will simply aiscuss general principles and leave the details of legislation to Congress. In other words, it will be a meeting of much talk and no business. The Senate has tackled the question whether thie power to recognize foreign Governments Jies in the President exclu- sively, and a big field is now open for orators to show eloguence and learning as expounders of the constitution. The Spaniards cannot conguer the Cubans, but they can destroy the homes of thousands and inflict great suffering upon the people. That is what they are aiming to do, and that is wiat the United States should stop in the interésts of humanity. The fact that upward of 8000 taxpayers bave not called at the office of the City Treasurer to collect the rebates allowed on the taxes paid early last year ought not to deprive them of the benefit of the rebate, It shounld be creditea to them on their taxes this year. Once more Speaker Reed has given evi- dence of his masterly ability to bring im- portant issues to prompt settlement and get them out of the way. Under any other Speaker the funding bill might have obstructed the business of Congress for the whole session. A Kansaa legislator proposes a law by whici any man who owns more tian 160 acres of land can be forced to sell any por- tion of Lkis holding in excess of that amount to any person who offers for it a price which a jury will consider reason- able. How is that for socialism made sociable and neighborly ? SENATOR PERKINS. The re-election of Senator Perkins by the'California Legislature is another evi- dence that conservatism is at this time the dominant spirit of the country. The people are aware that grave problems con- front them, and that serious issues in- volving radical remedies are coming to the front. They are also aware that men of talent, genius and youth are arising to meet these problems and to master them. The people, however, seem to prefer to stand by old landmarks and o continue the present condition of things until they see more clearly the nature of the problems in frontof them and have a better under- standing of the solutions proposed by men of talent. Senator Perkins is eminently a conserva- tive statesman, He is known to be a safe man of affairs and sound in his devotion to Republican principles. He has long been prominent both in the business and the politics of the State, and, if he has never distinguished himself brilliantly, has been at all times a man in whom the people have had confidencs and who could be 1elied upon to perform whatever duties he undertook. He is, therefore, in every sense well fitted to represent the people at this juncture and to maintain for them in Cengress that conservatism which they feel in their own homes. Tue CALL opposed Senator Perkins be- canse it believed the time had come when youth and genius should be called to the front to grapple with the responsibilities of statesmen 1n dealing with the new issues that everywhere affect American life. THE CarLp desired to see a younger, more forcible and more resol ute man sent to the Senate to advocate the interests of California and to defend its cause in every issue that arose either in local or in Na- tional politics. It has, however. no objection to urge against the election of Senator Perkins since the vote of the Legislature makes it evident that he is in a fair sense a representative of California Republican- ism as it exists to-day. During his term of office Senator Perkins will have the fuli eupport of THE Carr, so long as he maintains the great principles to which he is pledged, and may count on all the help THE CaLL can give him to advance every interest which California may Lave at stake in National legisiation. It is with no little satisfaction we recall the fact that during the whole of the con- test for the election of Senator THE CALL uttered no word derogatory of the man- hood or official integrity of Senator Per- kins. It acted as the champion ol Samuel M. Shortridge and snpportea his canvass | in that high- minded and henorable way which the dignity of the office required. 1t was not on the part of Mr. Shortridge nor on the part of THE CArL a campaign of vilification or abuse. Full justice was done to the merits of Mr. Perkins as a man and as a Senator, and in no instance did vulgarity or vile cartoon- ing disgrace our opposition to him or to his efforts for re-election. It is with sincerity TuE CALL extends to the Senator-elect congratulations on his election. He is clearly the rep- resentative of the conservatisia of the day, and is justly entitled, therefore, to claim in the Senate that he stands asa true exponent of the sentiments of the people of California at this juncture. Having served for some time in the Sen- ate his experience will be of value to the State, and the Republican party confi- dently counts on him to justify its action in electing him. A UONITED CALIFORNIA, The defeat of the funding bill is a strik- ing" proof of the ability of the peopie of California to overcome all difficulties ana master all the antagonisms in the way of progress when they are united and work together with a resolution born of & com- mon will directed to a common object. No individual nor set of inaividuals can claim credit for the defeat of the bill. It was in the truest sense a victory of the whole people. In that contest if in no other the people, the press and the states- men of California worked together and a brilliant triumph has been the resvit. This is not the only recent evidence which Californians have had of the value of united and harmonious work. As a matter of fact it 1s not the best evidence we have had. The truest accomplish- ment of a united California of recent date is the construction of the Valley Railroad. The defeat of the funding bill was merely negative; the construction of the road was positive work. In the one case we have simply prevented the nfliction of a wrong upop the State, but in the other we have achieved a genuine benefit, ¥hose results, already good, are but the earnest of a greater good yet to be obtained for Cali- fornia and for all the industries of its people. With these two illustrations of the ad- vantage of united work, there is every in- aucement to the people of California to lay aside all petty dissensions and minor interests and devote themselves to those greater issues whercin all can work to- gether, because’ the benefits resulting will be for the good of all. It is clear to every intelligent man thata new era has dawned in California, and that we are now to go forward to new things and meet new problems. It is also clear that tke solu- tion of these problems will depend largely upon co-operative enterprise. The issues before us are vast and cannot be mastered by individuals. We must work together not only to take advantage of the oppor- tuuities of good, but also to guard against the possibilities of impending evil. The question of the Pacific roads has not been settled by the defeat of the fund- ing bill. Itis sure to arise in a new phase vefore long, and it is possible that the new form may be as injurious to California as was the scheme of refunding. Public sentiment, now upited on the subject, should be kept, therefore, to its fuil height and as resolute as ever until the 1ssue has reached a final solution. It is not possible at this time to predict the future. All we can do is to wait aud see what will happen next. We may be sure, however, that no matter what happens, so long as the people of California are as united upon the subject as they are to-day they will be able to guard against any danger which may threaten, THE ARBITRATION TREATY. The proposed arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain differs widely from other treaties which have borne the same high-sounding and promising name. Former treaties have been arranged for the settlement of some specific issue well definea by the parties interested, and the courts organized to determine them have been temporary in their nature and strictly limited in their powers, The new treaty provides for a different sort of court. It is to continue s0 long as the treaty continues, and so far from being limited to some specific issue is to arbitrate every international dispute except such as arz specifically excluded. The proposed tribunal is to be known as the high court of arbitration, It is to be composed of three Justices of the Su- preme Court of the United States and | three members of the High Court of Ap- peals of Great Britain, It isto have ex- clusive jurisdiction over all questions now pending except those of Bering Sea and Venezuela, which have been arranged for otherwise, and over all which may arise in fature, except such as involve National honor and sovereignty. By its terms the treaty is to be in lorce for ‘but five years from the date of ratification, but there can be little question but that it will be re- newed and that a step has been made to- ward a permanent court for the settle- ment of internationul disputes. In submitting the treaty to the Senate Mr. Cleveland very justly said: Its success ought not to be doubtful, ana the fact that its ultimate ensuing benefits are not likely to be limited to the two countries im- mediately concerned should cause it to be pro- moted all the more eagerly. .The example set and the lesson furnished by the successful operation of this treaty are sure to be felt and taken to heart sooner or later by other na- tions, and will thus mark the beginning of a new epoch in civilization. The American people will cordlally re- spond to these sentiments. Theestablish- ment of this court is the direct result of American initiative. It will stand as an evidence of our influence among the na- tions, as a proof of our power for peace as well as war, and its inception will be ac- counted one of the faw good features of the Cleveland administration. TEQHNIOAL TRAINING. The fast that within the past few years wages have risen from 15 to 20.per cent in the German empire makes the news from Encland thata number of her citizens, interested in technical art instruction, have recently been in Germany studying the industrial conditions there, a matter of no surprise. English merchants have found it profitable to import goods from Germany and then export them to South America and the various British colonies, and the reason why Britain does not manufacture as well as ‘export the com- modities is of such importance as to call for careful investigation. The men who bave undertaken this work performed a similar service fliteen years ago, when they were selected by the British Government to report whether there were any methods in German in- dustry which might be profitably adopted by Great Britain. gating committee were enlightened dur- ing their visit to the realm of the Kaiser and came home weli prepared to instruct their countrymen in skilled production is no more a matter of surprise than their going, for the Germans are the most scientific and scholariy of all peoples, and when they bring their scientific scholar- ship to bear upon the usefal arts the re- sults are sure to he progress worthy of imitation. Sir Philip Magnus, who was the chair- man of the commission fifieen years azo, and is the leader in the late inquiry, has recently delivered an address showing wherein chiefly lies German superiority. The secret of their success is in thorough technical trainine. When these gentle- men were in Berlin fifteen years ago there was a big building being erected there, to be used as a technical school, the cost of which was to be $1,850,000. On their sec- ond visit they found this school was training 3000 students, and it had been necessary to put up additional buildings. In a single German factory they found 100 thoroughly educated chemists employed to experiment to discover better methods of production. This is an enterprise for turning scholarship to practical account of such maenitnde as to startle English and American manufacturers and awake them to the necessity of careful training in those who would stand up long in the ring of industrial competition. In his address Sir Philip stated that al- most all the profitable results from a valu- able discovery made by an English chemist were being reaped by Germany, because of the large number of practically trained chemists available for use in the factories in that land of widely extended technical instruction. 8o great has been the advantage thus pained by Germany in some branches of manufacture over England Sir Philip Magnus gravely suggests that his Govera- ment should repeal that part of her mer- chandise marks law which requires im- ported articles to be marked with the name of the country whence they came, The German brand is giving the British exporters away, and their colony cus- tomers are learning to sena direct to Hamburg for their merchandise. The ad- ice is such a confrssion of inferiority as seems like suggesting that German skill can only be met by English fraud. An- other interesting revelation of the report is that the manufacturers of Germany find that shortening the hours of labor does not-increase the cost of production; brains are far more 1mportant a factor in pros- perity than drudgery, and the fact that the great manufacturers are gelting a practical proof of it augurs well for the future cf the workine man, The moral of this story is obvious. Every effort should be made in this coun- try to establish thoroughly equipped technical schools and give all our workers a chance to be skilled. The community will reap the henefit in better and cheaper commodities, an1 the workman will at the same time have more hours for recrea- tion and improvement and cease to be a druage. PERSONAL. A. E.

Action Taken on the Tennessco and Hamburg Expositions—An Assist- ant Commissioner Appointed, The board of directors of the State Board of Trade met yesterday in regular session. J. A. Filcher presided. By resolution the board decided to do all in its power to furthér the interests of JACKSON JORDAN, a Pioneer of 1845, Who Was Once the Valet of Charles Dickens and General Vallejo’s Overseer. one of the most remarkable men in Cali- fornia to-day, celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday and spent the anniversary of his coming into the world visiting among the gray-haired veterans who are gradually passing away. Jackson Jordan’s life history, if it is ever fully written, will make a yolume that will be interesting to every Califor- nian and to the country at large, for in the last fifty years, which he has spent largely in traveling, he bas met and been identified with a great many of the men who have made California annals. He was born in New Orleans in- 1811, his father being of Scotch-Irish parentage and his mother a descendant.of a native of Abyssinia. Jordans early life was spent in the city of nis birth until Charles Dickens, the great English novelist, arrived in New Orleans on his American tour. He wasin search of a confidential man, and young Jordan’s capabilities so impressed him ihat he was engaged by the author. Jordan was in bis service at the time when Dickens’ ‘“American Notes” so in- censed the people that Dickens was com- pelied to flee to New York, and he accom- paniea his employer. Later he went to England with Dickens and remained there some time. 1n 1844 he returned to New York, and in the loliowing year took passage in the American ship Jeanette, Captain Atkins, for California, which was then practically an unknown region. The vessel landed first at Honolulu, and in the latter part of 1845 entered the Golden Gate, landing at Bausalito. The early days of 1846 found Jordan at Sonoma as overseer of General Vallejo's big e-tablishment there. He was present when the general was captured by the American forces that routed the Mexican army. Returning to San Francisco he opened the first hotel of this City, the Leidesdorft House. Another turn of fortune’s wheel made Jordan a Sacramento boniface. In 1849 he conducted the Sutter Hotel at the capital, ying $3000 a month rental for the estab- ishment. Flooded out in the latter part of 1849 he removed to Virginia, Nevada, where he went into the restaurant business and met and became intimate with nearly all of the men who in later years became the money barons of the Pacific Coast. Later he returned 1o California and dur- ing many years' residence in this City was in the emylcg of many prominent men, includin harles Crocker, William Sharon, William Ralston, Senator Hearst and others. In 1879 he was proprietor of the Mint saloon on Commercial street, which celebrated resort at that time and fre- quented by the heaviest business men of the City. For several years past he has been con- nected with the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company and t present steward of th ir big liner, Coptic, running to China and Japan. Jordan isa giant in stature, being over six feet tall, and carrying himself with the air of & man twenty-five years younger than he really is. He is a life-member of the Pioneers and often calls on members of the organiza- tion to talk of the days wien there were but two stores where San Francisco now stands and gold mining was not thought of by the simple Mexican inhabitant: On his eighty-sixth birthday . Ag im a full holiday. Whilein this City Jordan makes his home with {friends at 603}¢ Stockton street, where he has a pretty apartment overlooking the bay and the ships that he loves. “T am getting old,” said Jordan_yester- day, while in a reminiscent mood, ‘‘and most of the frieuds of my younger days have gone, but I shall sail many a day be- fore I dock for the last time.” CONTEST FOR AUDITOR. ‘William Broderick Continues to Hold His Own With William A.
