A MATTER OF SELF-DEFENSE. HE necessity for calling attention to the Ex- Taminer is not pleasing. As the circulation of that paper goes up in the smoke of the garbage crematory it calls attention to itseli. But occasionally there is no escape from directing notice to the shame- less and harmful course of the weakly twin of the Hearst pair. This becomes, in fact, a matter of seli- | defense. Ever since the soldiers have been gathering at this point the Examiner has used every endeavor to stir up among them a spirit of discontent. It has ac- | cepted the word of the inevitable grumbler and has | employed it in an effort to show that the volunteers are on the edge of revolt. That such a statement is | an indecent slander matters nothing to the Examiner. | It would rather lie than be truthful, and its delight is to make trouble. It has portrayed the men as ready to mutiny, when, in fact, no such thought was in the | minds of any of them. When underwear was sent ‘o the Kansas regiment there were a few men not supplied because of the lack of proper sizes. The misfit garments were stored in officers’ quarters so | as to be exchanged. The Examiner seized the chance to say that the soldiers were not belng clothed, not- withstanding the clothing had been supplied. Of course the statement was a lie, and of course the Examiner knew it. This was a sufficient reason for giving it credence and publicity. The results are likely to be serious to the soldiers and to decent papers as well as to the Hearstling. The officers are disgusted, and properly so, with the seditious tone of the reeking Examiner. They do not want the men to see it. But to discriminate is a matter of some delicacy. There is a possibility that because of the deliberate and malign lying of the Examiner all papers may be barred from camp. It is for this reason that attention is called to the daily Garbage. The Call does not desire to suffer for the sins of that sheet, intolerable to decency in and out of the newspaper world, without going on record as protesting against the unpatriotic, unAmerican, untruthful and shameless course of its contemporary. It wishes the soldiers to know that the Examiner represents nothing, that it is the pervert of journal- ism, with the morals of an outcast and the influence of a zephyr from Butchertown. THE GHOST OF THE COLIMd. ERHAPS this man Schwerin of the Pacific p.\]ail is not wholly to blame for his present con- duct. It may be that he has gone daft. It was in May, 1805, that the overladen Colima steamed out of this port. The vessel had many passengers and a deckload which madé her unwieldy. Off the coast of Mexico she went down and 100 lives were swallowed up in the Pacific. The Colima had a good captain. The pathos of his death has not been forgotten. Pos- sibly even Schwerin remembers it. The captain had a habit when he sailed out of the Golden Gate of saluting his wife, who always stood at the most sea- ward point. He did this by means of a whistle. And as the ship went down he blew the three blasts which had been her salute and farewell. Yes, Schwerin must recall the circumstance. It may be that in the night he is visited still by the ghost of the Colima. Or it may be that Schwerin, having sent the City of Peking out carrying California’s brave boys crowded like convicts in a galley, is now undergoing compunc- tions of conscience and does not know what is the matter with him. -He wants to fit up the China in the same way, and set a thousand more boys afloat, thinking that if the newspapers say nothing about it the world will never know. So he has issued an or- der that no Call man shall be permitted upon the dock where is in progress the shameless work of prepar- ing another ocean prison for the other brave boys who have come to this shore ready for what may befall. No wonder that Schwerin tries to be exclusive. No wonder that he would hide from the world his cruelty. He may be monarch of the dock and king of all the teredoes, but he cannot keep the truth from the public. We have all the sympathy for him that he deserves. We know that to be haunted by the wraith of a ship and a hundred dead is no small thing. It is not even pleasant to realize that a ship now on the sea crowded with American citizens is approaching the tropics, where malady threatens, and that they are jammed into the hold like freight. Schwerin has all these things to think about, poor man, and yet he will have more to think about if he be permitted to have his own way with the China. By exposing him we really protect him against future misery. And he does not appreciate the fact and orders that reporters be kept away. There is some- thing wrong with Schwerin A few days ago a contemporary asked, “Where rolls the Oregon?” The Oregon, dear sir, does not | vera' roll, It Is not bullt that way. THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR. URING the convention of league clubs there D will doubtless be much discussion, although perhaps informal, as to the man whom the Re- publicans shall select for Governer. Men from all parts of the State will exchange views, and while Re- publicans are united it is well to bear in mind the fact that in the coming campaign success must depend upon the character of the candidate. A weak man, a man known to be subservient to corporation influence, would be defeated. A strong man, independent, fear- | less, honest, would be elected. Under the circum- stances a choice must be made with unusual care. There is no lack of good material. The time is too early now for naming the indi- vidual, but not for considering the qualitiés he must possess. ‘Above all he must be free from railroad affiliations and of clean record. People this year will not vote for any man who is suspected even remotely of taking orders from the Southern Pacific or of being capable of giving to that institution any form of pledge as to his conduct. The man de: nded by the needs of the hour is one who will do whole duty to the State, and being approached by railroad emissaries be ready in requesting them to go about their business, which is in no measure the direction of the State’s affairs. On the other hand, the aspirant who poses as a hater of corporations and loudly denounces them all as thieves and robbers is apt to be dangerous to the public welfare, or to be insincere. There are plenty of men of the proper sort. The duty of the party is to find one. Perhaps he will not be a politician, or one known nowto be seeking the office. It maybe that he will be picked out by reason of ability displayed in private life, for executive capacity, for his known integrity and his freedom from association with the railroad. Certain it is that if the Republicans nominate a man in whose past there has been the least railroad | taint they will fail to elect him. By a judicious nomi- nation they will undoubtedly be able to carry the State. O Union, her people take as keen an interest as any in the events of the war, they were as ex- ultant as the rest of us over the victory at Manila, and have made as many guesses at the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet in the West Indies. Nevertheless they keep one eye and a portion of their minds firmly fixed on their exposition, and proudly proclaim that next after the volunteer army it is the biggest thing in the nation. THE OMAHA EXPOSITION. MAHA is just as patriotic as any city in the As soon as Congress declared war Omaha issued a | 5 O | in the habit of dumping the reasonable and unreason- manifesto announcing that it would not interfere with her exposition. She called attention to the safety of | her position in the middle of the continent, out of reach of Spanish guns and flying squadrons, and in- vited all the sea coast people of the republic to spend the summer at her show. Since then she has repeat- edly sent out similar notices, and it may be accepted as a fact that the war has not in any degree interfered with Omaha. From all reports the exposition is one of which the | city and the whole district around may be proud. The | display from California will not be so good as it | should have been, but Omaha does not seem to notice the fact, probably because she is unaware how very grand that display could have been made had we done our best. There will be enough from California at any rate to prove that we are in the Union and that we have minerals and fruits both rich and rare. This will be sufficient to save the show from our point of view, and for the rest everything looks promising. One of the notable features of the reports sent out from time to time concerning the progress of the preparations for the exposition is the information given of the liberal way in which the enterprise has been supported by the great railways of the Mississip- pi Valley. These corporations seem to have vied with one another in promoting the undertaking, and will doubtless continue to do so as long as it remains open. They have contributed generously and will grant low rates of fares so as to attract visitors. Omabha is lucky. The success which has attended this enterprise will encourage us in the movement to surpass it with a Californian and Pacific Coast exposition in commem- oration of the fifticth anniversary of the discovery of gold. As all the States adjoining Nebraska have taken an active and prominent part in making that exposi- tion a true presentation of the natural wealth and in- dustrial accomplishments of that large section of the Union, so we may expect a similar support from all the States and Territories of the Greater West. We have therefore an interest in the Omaha exhibition of | no small magnitude, and there will be no little gratifi- cation over every report which makes it evident that even the outbreak of war has not disturbed the course of the exposition nor prevented it from proving profit- able as well as instructive. Now the soldiers can ride between the Presidio and the city without naying fare. This is due to a gracious and considerate act on the part of the Union and O'Farrell car companies. The first set the example and the second quickly followed. The example is still available for the guidance and uplifting of Mr. Vining. Some malicious individual started a report that $1000 given by the Red Cross to the Kansas regiment had been stolen. As no such sum, nor any other sum, has been given to the Kansas regiment, the re- port is of no value save in being just about the sort of lie to be regarded by the Examiner as useful. Spaniards are having much joy in the celebration of victories which have not occurred and never will. It is a wonder they are not printing pictures of the Capi- tol at Washington flying the colors of Castile. If they would find pleasure in it they might as well go ahead and have a good time, i T From all indications there is to be a third call for troops. This will have the effect of urging responses to the second call, as those to enroll later will prob- ably be kept at home and have no duty to perform save the routine of garrison. ' Cervera’s maneuvers were adroit enough while they lasted, but the object of sailing into a trap has not yet been explained. If his ultimate intention was to com- mit a fatal error he could have carried it out without wasting so much coal. —_———— Russia’s scheme of leasing land from China has the advantage of sounding well. She gets the booty and escapes being called a thief. China will find the only end of that lease to be the beginning. Schwerin once belonged to the navy, and if the navy will promise to put him in the hold of one of his own ships it will be welcome to have him again. NIHILISTS, ANARCHISTS AND SO- CIALISTS. N his speech against restriction of immigration, lwhich we have quoted, Judge Maguire offered a conspicuous example of habitual loose thinking and erroneous generalization, He dumps Nihilists, An- archists and Socialists together. The principle and purpose of socialism is directly opposed to anarchy and nihilism: They believe in a violent leveling by force. They inculcate and practice assassination. The murder of Lincoln, Carnot, the Czar and Canovas was in line with their policy. 3 Linceln abolished slavery in the United States. Canovas in the Spanish possessions, and the Czar lib- erated the Russian serfs. They were all murdered. In their character of emancipators they were re- spected by socialism, but not by anarchy and nihilism. The Socialists pursue the paths of peace. Their policy is altruistic, and though their benevolent philosophy is probably founded upon an estimate of man that is too high to be realized, they do not believe that human misery can be lessened by increasing it. They oppose war and teach the benevolent brotherhood of man. These millennial views are in precise contrast to the violent cult of anarchy and nihilism. Social- ism seeks a peaceful revolution, a change in the social state worked on the lines of reason and enlighten- ment. It hopes for the ideal man and seeks not to destroy, but to humanize institutions of government. To mix these gentle philosophers and altruistic dreamers with the poisoners and bomb-throwers is characteristic of the man who could see no difference between a naval officer and a pirate, between the calm adjudication of a prize court and the scuttling of a merchant ship. Socialism violates neither moral nor statute law. Anarchy and nihilism oppose both. Socialism claims affinity with a most refined view of Christian- ity. Anarchy and nihilism reject Christianity and re- gard religion as a potent means of enslaving mankind. If the dream of socialism were realized by a change in the tendency of human nature and in that nature itself, the foundation of the new order would not be upon the ruins of life and institutions destroyed by violence.~ There is no peril in the dream nor the principles upon which it is based. The wild purpose of anarchy and nihilism, if accomplished, would as completely nullify evolution as socialism does, but would also ruin and refuse the rebuilding of all that is. Human society argues with socialism. It sends anarchy and nibuism to jail and gibbet. They have struck a foul blow at institutions in this country and were punished in return. They break law. Socialism obeys it. This marked difference escaped Judge Maguire, as it does other superficial observers, who, like him, are able critics of the social state into one mass and either opposing or supporting them as a whole, without re- | gard to their irreconcilable and organic differences. THE FRENCH TREATY. Y proclamation of the President a reciprocity B treaty with France, the first which has been arranged under the new tariff, goes into effect this morning. It has been hailed at Washington with satisfaction as an evidence of the friendly commercial relations between the two nations, and doubtless will be as well received throughout the country. The Dingley tariff provides two methods of ar- ranging treaties of commercial reciprocity. By one of these, set forth in section 3, the President is author- ized to act alone; by that in section 4 he can act only with the advice and consent of the Senate. In the first place his power to reduce duties provided by the tariff is limited to a comparatively few articles of com- merce and the amount of the reduction is also pre- scribed to narrow limits. The French treaty has been arranged under section 3, and therefore is not subject to supervision on the part of the Senators. The only articles on which the President under this clause could reduce duties are argols, brandies or other spirits manufactured or distilled from grain or other materials; champagne and all other sparkling wines; still wines, vermouth, paintings, pastels, ink drawings and statuary. The treaty grants to the French the full reduction allowed by the law on all of these with the exception of that on champagne. In return we receive a reduction of French duties on meats of all kinds, fruits and wood exports. The chief advantz.zés gained by the United States are on meat products and lard compounds, the reduc- tion of the French duty on the first being half and on the second one-third of the present rate. The main advantages given to France in return for these are the reduction of duties on her exports of still wines and brandies. It will be seen that the beef and pork producing States of the Union make an almost clear gain by the treaty, while the wine-producing States pay the cost and obtain but little in return. It is not certain what will be the effect of the new arrangement upon the industries and commercial in- terests of California, but the chances are it will prove more or less injurious. We have but little in the way of pork or lard or canned meat to send to France, while the amount of our fruits and woods which she may consume is not likely to be large. On the other hand, the lessened duty on the vast amount of still wine she will send to the Eastern States may prove a serious competition to our wine interests and more than counterbalance the gains we obtain in other respects. 3 These drawbacks to the treaty are inherent in the nature of the subject itself. The United States are 80 large and have such a variety of industrial interests that a commercial arrangement which helps one sec- tion is almost sure to injure another. This time it is California that loses and the East that gains. It must be borne in mind, however, that the Presi- dent had no option in the selection of the articles on which the reduction was to be made. That was fixed by the tariff itself. At the time the bill was un’er discussion The Call directed attention to this clause and urged Western men to see to it that something else besides wines and brandies and works of art were included in the scope of Presidential treaties of reciprocity, but nothing was done. There remains for us now, there- fore, nothing but to make the best of the situation. Fortunately the amount of the reduction on wine im- ports is not large, and perhaps our wine men may still command good prices for their products despite the advantage given to their French competitors. e ——— The Klondiker who is afraid to ship his gold lest the Spanish capture it is too far from civilization to know that .the Spanish are not capturing anything.

On that day the Sixth Massachusetts Regi- ment passed through the streets of Bal- timore, cheered by enthusiastic thou- sands and honored by the welcome of a great city. This was the “historic Mas- sachusetts Sixth” which was stoned in the streets of Baltimore thirty-seven Years ago the 19th of April, when on its way to Washington. The Baltimoreans and the Massachusetts soldiers fully un- derstood and fully appreciated the greet- ing which was extended at this latter ap- pearance. Doubtless at the coming cele- bration of Memorial day the episode will figure in orations spoken over battle- fields of the “sixtles,” where the wearers of the blue and wearers of the gray sleep forever. The newspapers of Boston and the newspapers of Baltimore make much of the affair. The Boston Herald pictures on one page the scene of the first blood- shed on Pratt street, Baltimore, in 1861, and an old print showing the deadly at- tack upon the Massachusetts vo.unteers of 1861, and as a companion piece *the great demonstration at Mount Royal sta- tion in Baltimore on the arrival of the Sixth in 1898.” In the last mentioned pic- ture the Baltimoreans are waving scores of American flags, throwing hats in air, and otherwise demonstrating good will and forgiveness. And the Baltimore American editorially says: “Baltimore and Boston, Maryland and in behalf of the citizens, presented Colonel Woodward,a large set piece of roses bearing three streamers of satin ribbon, one red, one white and one blue. The streamers were lettered as follows: “Maryland honors Massachustts, May Mayor, , 1898. “God bless you, and bring you safely home.” “Baltimore welcomes Sixth Massachu- setts Regiment. Flowers not bullets.” During the progess of the Mayor's speech fxe was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause, and at {ts conclusion the applause and cheers were hearty and sustained. Colonel Woodward stepped to the front of the balcony and made the following response: ayor Malster and Citizens of Balti- more: No feeble words that I can utter would express the thanks and gratifica- tion which the Sixth Regiment owes you for the glorious reception which you have given us here this afternoon. This mag- nificent reception not only does honor to the Sixth Regiment, but to Massachusetts and New England as well, and expresses the good feeling prevailing between Mas- sachusetts and l\sllaryyl‘and and between the North and the South. ‘qons benefit which we shall derive from this war will be that it will cement the bonds between sections and make us all one people, from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from ocean to ocean, united in one common cause against a common_enemy. “Thanking you again most heartily for your most cordial sree!lng, I bid you adleu, and may God be with you until we meet again.”” The colonel’s speech was applauded heartily, and at its close three cheers and FLORAL DESIGN PRESENTED TO TH E BOSTON TROOPS BY BALTIMORE | Massachusetts, are more than allitera- a big family, and whenever they meet | there i{s an outburst of j-— For over | and celebratin, the reunions, and these incidents have been repeated, it has only been to make the pleasure the great- er and the friendship the stronger. As far as these two cities and these two States are concerned, the unpleasantness | of 1861 was long ago settled; but yester- day offered a dramatic opportunity which could not be passed over. It was a temp- tation to show the Yankees a fine town, and to applaud them, and to let the bursting patriotism of the streets enjoy a full outlet. “People who remember the past realize ?erfcclly well that the trouble about the ormer visit of the Sixth Massachusetts to Baltimore was due to the work of hoodlums, who infest every center of | population. Maryland, although com- | pelled to do so by no law, made a hand- some appropriation for the families of the victims, and this was gracefully re- ceived and acknowledged by Massachu- setts—a fact that is lost sight of in_all accounts of the unfortunate episode. But still more has been done since to wipe away the recollection. And yesterday the climax came. It was superb, Never were men more enthusiastically received, The whole city spoke. It opened its heart and its lungs sent echoes of gladness to the stars. The air danced in glee, and the flag waved until a cyclone was threaten- ed. It was fervent, unanimous, delirious and fine, And Baltimore rejoices that it was so. Let the Bostonians tell the remainder of the story, writing from Baltimore, as follows: “‘No Massachusetts man could view with | undimmed eyes the spectacle afforded in this proud city to-day, when its citi- zens, putting everything else aside, turned out to cheer the ‘historic Sixth Massa- chusetts,’” which same regiment was stoned in the streets of Baltimore thirty- seven vears ago the 19th of April. ‘‘Some of the same men who threw bricks and stones at the Massachusetts soldlers in '61 formed an escort for our boys to-day, and the sacred sentiment that swags a united people ruled the ay. “Tt was a history-making day. No ona who saw it could fail to understand its full meaning. It meant that sectional strife and hatred are buried; yes, buried forever. It meant that we are all Amer- fcans and that the Civil War is history. “It almost made one glad that we were at war to see this whole city rise up to welcome the men whose fathers they mobbed. Old Confederate soldiers were almost trampled under the feet of the | horses in trying to grasp the hand of | Colonel Woodward and his staff, and. the | women of Baltimore, whose beauty is known the world over, showered our boys with flowers. The men gave them something more substantial. *“Senator Lodge and Representative Moody and I came over to Baltimore from Washington to meet the regiment, and met it as it was coming up North Charles street. The regiment was late in reaching Baltimore, and 10,000 persons were at Mount Royal station when it came in. They had waited there since noon. “Mayor Malster welcomed our boys on behalf of the city, and Colonel Woodward made a brief but handsome acknowledg- ment. Then the fine was formed and the | regiment marched to the Camden sta- | tion. Permission for the regiment to do | this had been secured by Senator Lodge | yesterday, at the request of Colonel ‘Woodward, In response to the invitation of the city of Baltimore. “As all the Maryland troops were away at the front, or in camp, an escort had been made up of a detachment of firemen, a battalion of clerks and city employes, and a company of Confederate veterans. These men led the march through many of the same streets of Bal. }lm%re where the regiment was stoned n 61 “The Sixth, in heavy marching order, looked business-like and soldierly. There were no frills or gold lace about it, and that .made it all the more imposing. No better troops ever marched through Bal- timore. Praise was iIn every one's mouth. The company of negroes in the regiment was cheered and gra.lsed by these Baltimoreans as much as any- body, and this in itself was a little un- usual. “On they marched, soldierly, to the Camden station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Into this same station thirty-seven yvears ago the ‘old Sixth’ marched after its fight in the streets or the city and took the train for Wash- ington. “Our boys marched in this evening, but how different the scene! OQur own drums and fifes played ‘Dixie’ as the regiment came into the station, amid the cheers and ‘rebel yells’ of the people of Balti- more. 5 “This was, indeed, the crowning feature of this great historical episode—our own boys marching to the tune which General Sherman once said we ‘captured.’ But there was none of that feeling to-day in the minds of the men who heard it, or in the hearts of the men who marched to its strains, “Senator Lodge, after the regiment had passed by, sald, huskily: * i8 one Spolko Tok asuxonisotts when N sald it v o m“e than cheer, The a tiger were given for the Sixth, which | the boys returned with interest for the city of Baltimore. After a few more rounds of cheers and a few more words with the girls the regi- ment was called to “attention,” and the parade was formed. In the procession, among the various | bodies composing it, were a squad of fitty Confederate veterans and -4 squad of ‘fifteen original stone throwers who participated in the riot of 181, accord- ing to the Boston Herald’s account. The Mayor of Baltimore said to the Massachu- setis soldlers the following: ‘‘Soldiers of the Sixth Regim - sachusetts Volunteer Infantry: uinjo?r{afn the general rejoicing of the peopls of Baltimore that the deferred opportunity | of thirty-seven years has at last v and 1, for and'in behalf of ma“rfi}.e» of our beloved city, tender you the wel- come, freedom, hospitality and protection of this city. The latchstrings not only hang on the outside of the doors, but the doors of the citizens of our dear old city are wide open, and their arms are out- stretched and eager to receive and do honor to those who have inherited the legacy of the old Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. Their deeds of valor on many hard-fought fields can only be told by the | historian, “The citizens of this city will nev enjoy a greater degree of pleasure then in meeting this splendid body of soldiers on their return to the bosom of their families, with each of their names em- biazoned high upon the scroll of honor in letters wrought there with patriotic and loyal actions of their individual worth that will never bring shame -or blush to their posterity.” | During the march, so reports the Boston Herald, rebel yells' were heard, and one old, gray-haired man in front of the | City Hall shouted: “I'm an old-time reb. but I'm with you this time, boys." g On Cathedral street, opposite the ca- thedral, several ladies'in the upper win- dows of a large brick house were singing “The Red, White and Blue.” Never before has a Massachusetts or | any other regiment received such an | ovation away from home, and very sel- | dom at home. The cheering was inces- | sant. 3 Several times the regimental fite nnd} drum corps struck up “Dixie,” and then the crowds were wild. Men threw up their hats and yelled, women waved their handkerchiefs ‘and screamed, and éven children caught the fever of ‘excitement, Kentucky is about to erect a monument on the battle-field of Chigkamauga in memory of the Federal and Confederate soldiers who fell upon that field. The main die block has a bronze tablet on the front, containing the following in- seription Erected by the State of Kentucky In Memory of Her Sons Who Fought and Fell on This Field.

The next man said that she probably would have passed it down the line had not the captain of the company lssued the stern command to “Forward, march!” 8. H. Mitchell of Selkirk, Manitoba, A. B.

The Oregon has shown herself to be a splendid ship against weather and ocean, and if she gets into action she will, doubt- less, amplify her record. The vovage of the Oregon was a remarkable p’c?fxcnm ance.
