The Cuban committee in San Francisco will be as strong as any in the Union. War in Europe seems one of the unex- pected things that are gding to happen in spite of business lomacy. The Greek idea of making war in order to put an end to Turkish atrocities is good. Battles are better than putcheries.

We would be false to our own history it we did not show a prompt sympathy with every American country seeking 1o estab- 1ish its independence of European control, In the present condition of Earopean affairs England would be glad to arrange an arbitration treaty with the United States on almost any terms. The game is in our hands. A considerable number of Eastern edi- tors are criticizing the new treasury notes in a way which is calculated to produce tie impression that they are fastidious as 1o the kind of money they take. The Stanford mansion will give a su- perb city home to the university at Palo Alto and serve to bring it into closer rela- tions with the metropolis. From these relations benefits will ow both to the university aud to the city, and there i3 resson, therefore, for a general congraty- Jation on this new evidence of Mrs. Stan- ford’s munificent regard for the public welfare. Since 8an Francisco is to have a farm- ers’ club, efforts shoulda be made to de- velop it into an organization large and vigorous enough to attract the attention of the State. It is time the people of the interior were impressed with the truth thav residents of San Francisco, so far from being indifferent to rural industries, are themseives engaged in such indus- tries on a large scale. it a careful record was | . | as soon as they declared themselves for THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT. The people of the United States gave to the world an object lesson in conser- vatism in the last National election. Believing that the selected standard-bearers ot the Democratic party represented an element in society which was hostile to what is commonly understood as the rights of property, and that the triumph of Bryanism | meant a disturbance if not an invasion of those rights, every citizen who had an in- | vestment, large or smail, voted the Republican ticket and easily elected its National | nominees. In every community the country over the land-owners, the shareholders in banks, mills, railroads, factories, orchards and other industries, the owners of cor- | porate bonds, the depositors in savings banks and the members of building a=d loan scieties, all flocked to the Republican standard, fearing the consequences of a victory for the men and principles of the Chicago convention. There is a deeper philosophy in the result of tie late election than may have been noted at the time. Itisto be remembered that the year 1395 was one of the darkest in our Nation’s commercial history; that contraction ani depression and want of confidence clogged every channel of trade and that distress and distrust were abroad in the land. In the very midstof these unhappy conditions a National campaign came on and by the action of the St. Louis and of the Chicago conventions the people of the country were brought face to face With two suggested remedies for hard times and bidden to choose between them. The Republican platform plainly stated that the road to prosperity lay in main- taining the stability of the Nation's finances, in preserving the rights of property and in the ruarantee of safety in its investments and certainty in 1ts returns. On the other hand, the Chicago platform recommended an untried system of finance and more than hinted at a wide application of socialism to the conduct of business enterprises and the regulation of their affairs. Against this latter theory of how to banich depression the soter second thought of the American people set itself strongly and recorded its verdict that business activity and prosperity can be maintained, or, if lost, can be restored, only by keeping faith with property, whether represented in the investments of the rich or the saved-up earnings of the poor. The State of California has had several severe lessons as to the folly of frighten- ing capital away from investment by ill-advised assaults upon that already invested. The evi's which grew rapidly out of the sandlot episode in our State history are only | too well remembered by those who saw their property depreciated and their savings | lost in the stagnation of business, the failures of banks, the delayed return of con- fidence and the tardy investment of capital which prevailed for several years after 1879, In coramon with the rest of the country the people of California voted that they [ desired prosperity and believed that the way to get it was to discourage that spirit of disturbance, of distrust, of unrest and of hostility to the rights of property and the | assurance of its safe investment which dominated the Chicazo convention and was | the war cry of its nominees and of the newspapers which came to their support. | The merchants, the business men, the depositors in savings banks, the share- | holders in building and loan societies, the thrifty and frugal possessors of property in California of whatever amount or form, know full well that nothing in the way | of enterprise, of productive activity, of commercial or industrial prosperity can | come from fomenting a spirit of antagonism and distrust among the people and | toward the various business energies which exist in their midst. The arts of the demazogue and the methods of the anarchist should not be allowed to gain a footing here nor to dominate in tne shaping of public opinion regarding any | question of either general or local concern. !

If either Austria or Russia saw a way ciear to avoid being in- volved in the contest, neither of them would have been so promptin their efforts topreventit. Thegreat powers of Europe, inciuding Austria and Russia, have been | trying for a year to devise a means of keeping the peace in the Levant and pro- | moting reforms in Turkey, and it is clear | that they see in the precipitation of Greece a danger that all their plans will go to pieces and that they will soon find them- selves forced into hostilily with one another and possibly into actual war. It is not possible at this tima to foretell how the great nations will be divided if the war should spread and become gen- eral. For some months past Great Britain, France and Russia have been in alliance on the Turkish problem, and it is probable that in case war came they would en- deavor to act on that alliance and take the same side against any foes who might arise, Itisnotlikely, however, thatthealli- ce would long continue. The interests of England and Russia in Turkey are an- ta.onistic and so are the interests of Eng 1and and France in Egypt. The conflict of these interests would soon put an end to any diplomatic harmony, and it is al- together likely that when the war actually began it would be found that France and Russia’were on one side and Great Britain, with such allies as she could obtain, on the other. One of the most serious complications of the Eastern question is found in the | fact that the antagonisms there are not The men who through THE CALL have ::fe'::ylh";‘“','."‘;," e oomerdal Th v X sts, religion.

There is no longer any question | |of the ultimate triumpn of the Cuban | people. The only issues involved in the | contest are the length of time through | which the struggle may be prolonged and the amount of property and number of | bumen lives which may be sacrificed dur- | ingits continuance. This being so it is not only the right but the duty of the United | States Government to intervene and put | | anend to the pillage, plunder asd mur- | der which under the name of war are | | being perpetrated in the island. In appointing a committee to organize | popular sentiment in this City and direct it to the object of puttinz an end to the | contest we shall be following a course | which bas been taken in over 700 other | cities of the Union. Our committee, | therefore, will not stand alone. It will | not have 1o resort to action which will be weak because it is isolated. It will bhave the advantage of co-operaiing with com- j mittees in other cities, and will be part and parcel of a movement embracing the whole Union and having back of it the force of nearly the whole peopie. Boston critics have, had their attention drawn to the fact that the foremost Amer- ican novels of the day bave all been writ- ten by working journalists: Stephen Crane, Julian Hawthorne, Harold Frederic and Harding Davi They are now discussing | whether this means an elevation of jour- nalism or a degradation of literature, and they are having a hign time over it. —_— COLLEGE MORALS. In the latest published reportsof Har. vard College there is one from L. B. R. Bri:gs, Dean of the college, calling atten- tion to the serions matter of the existence of a double standerd of morals among the students. It seems that to whatever ex- tent the siudents may be right or wrong their conceptions of what is honest are causing the faculty considerable embar- rassment in the management of tne uni- versity. By one of the standards of morals recog- nized at Harvard s liar, clearly known as such, is despised and socially shunned, but by the ottier the man who hands in as his own work what he has copied from the writings of another man is not re- garded as having done anything dishon- orable. It the student tries by copying to win scholarships and prizes he is con- demned by his fellows, but in ordinary examinations where a failre to make a good showing would put the student in danger of losing his degree his com- panions condone the offense. They re- gard the man as having missed an educa- tional opportunity, but corsider the loss as his own, and conclude that for the fac- ulty to suspend him would be unjust, Some samples of the kind of excuses of- fered are given by the Dean, and among | The craiser Vesuvius ran past the block- ading squadron of Admiral Bunce at Charleston without trouble, so we can now brag of the speed and skill of our | blockade runners. No warships can stop thew. To celebrate Jackson’s day the Demo- | erats split into factionsand held separate banguets, but in celebrating Lincoln’s birthiay the Republicans got together in sentiment as well as in numbers. That is the difference batween the parties. Ifit be true as reported that Bryan was recently offered a salary of $25,000a year | as editorial writer and refused it, then it is evident there is another man in this country as big a fool Bryan bimself.

There ought to be | | town in the United States on Lincoln's them the amusing one of a student who sail that he copied from a book so well known that the instructor could not possi- bly suppose he meant to deceive; that he agreed with Thackeray’s ideas and could not improve on his language. The Dean holds that such practices are clear cases of lying, and be makesa com- parison with the case of a man invited to lecture before a society of gentiemen and who reads without acknowledgment an- other man's work. This offense'is not a breach of rules merely, but it is clear-cut fraud. Such a map may well be forgiven by friends, but till time and thought have changed him he cannot be accounted | trustworthy. | Another cffense to whieh the Dean calls | attention is what the students call “rag- | ging” signs, and consider a mere frolic, free from any dishonor. The Dean says that these signs are other men's prop- erty, which have cost money, and which money alone can replace, and therefore the man that takes them is a thief, and moreover a thief without the excuse of hunger or poverty. There have for some time back been complaints from the students that they were pestered by a superfluity of rules; as if they were mere chi.dren, to be governed | in every little detail of conduct. This re- port of Dean Briggs would indicate that there are two sides to the question, and | that the students have not so completely | vut away the frolicsomeness of boyhood as to be rightly freed from the restraints | that might be an indignity to mature men. THE LINOOLN BANQUET. The banquets held by Republican organ- izations in various sections of the Union | in celebration of the birthaay of Abraham Limcoln afford a striking contrast {o those which were held by Democrats in celebra- tion cf Jackson’sday. The salient feature of the Democratic feasts was the intensity of the antagonism between the various | factions of the party, while that of the | Republican celebrations was the harmony | which prevails throuchout the whole organization in all the States of the Union. The only State in which there is at this | time even a sugzestion of Republican dis- cord is Ohio, and the celebration of Lin- coln’s birthday in that State gave ample | evidence that these suggestions come more | from the desirs of Democrats than from anything in the actual condition of hs| party. The chief banquet of the day in | Ohio was held in Zanesville, where the Republican League Convention in the | State had just been held. At this banquet there appeared the leaders of both the so- | called factions, There were present Gov- ernor Bushnell and Marcus A. Hanna, between whom, according to the Demo- crats, there is a bitter feud. Not one word of any speech nor one action of any guest | at the banque: gave a particle of evidence | to confirm the Democratic assertions of | party division in the State. The proceed- | | | ing throuzhout were full of harmony and | party loyalty and it was made amply | manifest that in Ohio, as well as elsewhere, | the Republican party stands united in its | opposition to the common foe and in its | determnation to maiutain the welfare of | the Repubtic. The most no‘ablo speeches of the occa- sion wers se made by Hon. William | . White of Kansasat the Ohio banquet nd by Governor Pingree of Michigan at | Mr. White pointed out the rea- son why Kansas has fallen from the Re- publican column, and showed by what | means it can be brouzht back to its former loyaity. Governor Pingree spoke of the imporiant subject of municipal reform | and the duty of the Repuvlican party | with regard to it, and outlined a policy in | which, it is safe to say, he will have the | cordial support of Republicans every- | where. Since the two great parties of the coun- try have, by common consent, selected the anniversary of the batile of New Orleans and the anniversary of \the birthdsy ot Lincoln as feast days, it would be well if | the observance were made more general | Republican banquets in every important birthcay, and there ought also to be Dem- | ocratic banguets equally univergal on the day which has been chosen to do honor to | Andrew Juckson. Such gatherings have | more than a mere partisan effect. They serve to recall the fundamental principles of political parties and the memories of | the great statesmen and heroes of the country. Certainly San Francisco should | vie with Eastern cities 1n maintaining | these memorial days, and we trust that in | future it witl do The Sorosis Club of New York has de- clared in favor of ‘international marriages on the ground that they are caiculated to promote international peace, and that shows how much the old girls of the So- rosis know about matrimony. | waiian revol | settie in Shanghai, and who has been for many | progress are hegt in motion.
