HE wreck of the Jane Gray was no ordinary Tdha::cr of the sea. It was not an instance in which a valiant ship battling against adverse winds and rolling waves succumbed at last to the ele- ments. .. On the contrary, it was an example of the wicked and criminal negligence and greed which | sends out upon the deep a crait not fit to leave its moorings .in the mud flats. When the. Jane Gray | sailed the fact was known that only by the kindness of Providence could she keep afloat. Yet there was | no hesitancy in - accepting. all the passengers who | would pay fare. Surely in taking passengers who ran a risk so | dreadful it 'would have been the most natural pre- caution to furnish for them life rafts or life preservers. But this was not done. When the rotten timbers yielded to a pressure that sound ones would have withstood there was left to nearly two score of those aboard no chance of escape, and they perished mis- | érably—human beings in a trap. | There seems to be no tendency to dispute the alle- gation that the vessel, bad as it was In itself, was im- properly loaded. - An extra deckhouse tended to make it unwieldy, and this was so flimsily constructed that, regardless of stress of weather, it constituted a grave menace. | The Jane Gray but emphasizes the lesson taught | by the wreck of the Almy. There should be laws de- | vised for as rigid inspection of sailing vessels as of | steam, and for violation of these laws' there shou]d“ be ‘a penalty ‘so severe that even the lust for gold | would not tempt speculators into luring their fellow- men to death. As it is the responsible parties may? be censured, a process for which they will care | naught. - The rapacity which actuates such a horrible | deed as the sending to sea of an unseaworthy ship is | not sensitive. . It is probably looking about even now | for another old tub by means of which to win passage money and slay the deluded mortals who pay this. _ | s — San Francisco is getting old enough and big enough to abolish the folly of shutting off street lights on the nights when the benefit of a full moon 1s supposed to | be had. An inconsiderate fog has been known to snuff out the moon, leaving the city in absolute There is a theory that the city saves money, but there is no particular reason for having any faith in this. The gas company's meters never hesitate to register the consumption of gas in a pri- | vate house even though not a jet be lighted, and they would not be likely to be more liberal with the city, blackness. Why ‘the New York Journal should claim to have possession of a flag captured by Deiwey at Manila passes comprehension. It is aruleof that sheet tomake | its. lies seem plausible. It could not have received | the flag untess by cable, a method of transit offering | few advantages in the shipment of textile fabrics. | Neither could it ever get.such a flag unless Dewey were to directly violate a law governing the subject, | and which declares specifically chat a captured flag | becomes the property of the Government. } When Captain Bernadou shall recover control of his wounded leg he can make no better use of it than to kick the yellow editor who declares that the fatali- ties on the Winslow were due to a shot firéd by that vessel. " The statement was a mean lie and a palpable slander. 3 With becoming modesty, the type not being more. than half an. inch high, the funny New York Journal takes to itself all the credit for having an éxpedition sent to re-enforce Dewey. The matter does not call for comment so much as for a commission in lunacy. The fact that shots-from the Spanish forts were fired with tolerable accuracy demonsn}a(es th’nl'th_e Spanish have risen to the occasion and hired a few gunners who can sight a cannon even' if not stirnu- Jated by. coffee. : R R The naval lieutenant found guilty of ‘something or other and sentenced to a three-year vacation' on pay might have been more severely punished. - There. are those to whom a vacation of this sort would seem ac- ceptable as a reward of merit. ' One peculiarity of naval engagements in West In- dian waters is that they are conducted on a plan which permits’ each .side to claim victory and thus " add much to the sum of human happiness without doing any particular harm. - LS 5 As-Gomez intends to execute the next person ap- ‘proaching him with an offer of terms from Spain, it is to be hoped that. Weyler may come over and un- dertake the delicate errand. Philadelphia’s branch of the Peace Union has been talking too much and has been .evicted from its free quarters.. ‘This was a practical method of telling it ‘to go hire a hall. 3 “Ma’ Angeline” hu- been judicially pronounced a plrate. We were always confident that it was a crim- inal of some sort, . THE DEMOCRATIC CINCH. HE Democratic State Committee has met and Tsolemnly recorded its opinion that the partyin San Francisco cannot be trusted to manage its own affairs. It is put under the suzerainty of the State Committee, which comes in from the country to take charge of city politics. Petaluma and Mil- pitas, Grub Gulch and Yankee Jim’s precincts plt their rural fingers in the San Francisco pie and will do the little Johnny Horner act to perfection. The triumvirate of the State €ommittee has said it, and it is. One member of this political trinity is from San Francisco and the other two hail from Stockton and Visalia - respectively. They have adopted the party pandects, consisting of eighteen rules, which settle the party hash for San Francisco. Rule 1 recites that the Democratic city committee shall have power to pass on all questions of elections, primaries and registrations, subject to limitations and restrictions. These are: Vacancies in the county committee can be filled only on confirmation by the State Committee; the whole city committee which may succeed the present committee must be con- firmed by the State Committee before it can exer- cise any authority; the present city committee is ap- pointed outright by the State Committee. This city committee appointed by the State Committee may select and appoint city delegates to the State conven- tion. An appeal from any action by the committee lies to the State Committee. It will be seen that under this most remarkable regulation the State Committee, by electing the pres- ent city committee and authorizing it to appoint dele- gates to the State and other conventions, has usurped the power to not only install the party machinery in San Francisco, but to appoint delegates from here to the party conventions. The rules also provide that this county committee “shall provide for the nomination of city, county and district officials,” un- der which grant of power it may itself nominate such candidates. In the history of party management there is no other case in which the rank and file were ever so completely deprived of a voice in their local affairs. It is no wonder that one member of the State Com- mittee in the meeting in which this job was put through asked by what rule, written or unwritten, the Democratic State Committee constituted itself the guardian of the Democracy of one section of the State. He asked if the Democracy of San Fran- cisco had asked to have a guardian appointed, and declared that it was all wrong to invade the rights of any section of the Democracy and the attempt should not be tolerated, for he did not understand that the State Committee was created to perpetuate any re- gime or clique in control of the party, and he wanted to know, if this sort of thing were forced upon the Democrats of San Francisco, what city would next be invaded. This protesting rurale gught to have made a motion to appoint a receiver for the Democ- racy of San Francisco instead of a guardian. Under these rules the party here can never resume control of its own affairs. They will remain per- | petually in the hands of the State Committee, which | can dictate the local delegation to all State conven- | tions and even the nomination of all local candi- dates. The members of the party are left only ‘one right, that of voting for candidates kindly nominated by the State Committee. This action is symptomatic. It means thatjthe methods adopted in the Democratic National Convention of 1896 are to influence the party organization everywhere. The Bryan wing controlled a majority of that national convention and could make a platform. But it lacked the two-thirds required by the party rule in force since 1836 to nomi- nate a candidate. This difficulty was overcome by expelling bodily the Nebraska delegation and enough of the delegates from Michigan and other States to control them under the unit rule. These expelled members were elected and credentialed as regularly as the delegation from California, which voted to ex- pel them. The national convention then usurped the functions of the State conventions by electing dele- | gates to the vacancies it had violently created. This action by a party that has so loudly proclaimed State rights and home rule secured the needed two-thirds majority to nominate Mr. Bryan. The ousting of the San Francisco Democrats from the slightest voice in their own affairs is the filtering of the national convention policy down to local affairs, It has always been held, and by none more per- sistently than the Democracy, that healthy politics requires that the people have free rein in party man- agement. But now that party does not scruple to put defiantly on record its distrust of the people and its decision that they cannot be trusted even to appoint a local party committee! If this action is indorsed at the polls the Democrats of this city, who hold the balance of party power in the State, will have con- demned themselves to a sort of penal servitude to the bosses of the State Committee. The latter body, by applying the same theory of party management throughout the State, can per- petuate itself in power, and the party in every pre- cinct in California will have parted with its influence and control in its own affairs. ' A FOOLISH - POLICY. BY reason of the hostile attitude assumed by the _ Parisian press toward the United States in the war with Spain there has grown up in this country a responsive feeling of hostility which, among other forms of expression, has developed an opposi- tion toward the Paris exposition of 1900. It is said an effort is being made to induce Congress to pro- vide no appropriation for an exhibit from this country at the exposition, and-that further efforts will be made to induce the various States and even individuals to ignore that great undertaking of French enterprise. - It would be difficult to find on a large scale a better illustration than this of that foolish policy known as cutting off the nose to spite the face. An exhibition of American products at Paris in 1000 would not be for the benefit of France, but for that of the’ United States. We have not proposed an appropriation of money for such an exhibit out of any sentimental re- gard for the French, but out of a strictly Business re- gard for ourselves, If we make the exhibit we will profit by it. If we do not make it we will lose that opportunity to make known to the world the variety and -quality of the articles we have for sale. Other people will get the markets and we will get nothing. French hostility has taken a form that has been un- doubtedly irritating. We had a right to expect better things of a race that has at all times posed as a cham- pion of liberty and humanity. The gibes of Parisian wits and the denunciations of boulevard critics have not been pleasant to read, and we have naturally felt inclined to retaliate. ~There are ways by which such retaliations can be made effective, but the proposed scheme for ignoring the exposition is not one of them. The universal exposition of industries with which the century is to close is something more than a French enterprise. It appeals to the imagination of men in all lands and has aroused the energies of the industrious of every nation, Paris is lll.l large sense a world capital. It is the center to which men and women resort from the four quarters of the globe for pleasure and for fashion. When the exposition opens it will be thronged by artisans, merchants and busi- ness men of every class and of every clime. The people whose industry is not represented there will not be conspicuous by its absence. In the vast mul- titude of exhibits of all kinds it will not be noticed that anything is lacking, and those not there will simply have lost the opportunity for display. It is to be hoped the project to induce Congress to refuse an appropriation for the American exhibit will be dropped. We may owe France a snub in return for her insults, but the snub must not be given in a way that will hurt ourselves more than it will hurt France. It would be a better revenge to send to her exposition such an exhibit of fruits, wines and other articles of luxury as would take her trade away from her for our enrichment. T ——— ANNEXATION AND MAJORITY RULE. ENATOR LODGE, during his effort to block S the war revenue bill by an amendment to annex Hawaii, said to the Senate: “It is a generally recognized principle in this country that the majority ought to rule, and any violation of that principle is a travesty on justice.” Neither the junior Seuator from Massachusetts nor any one else will have the hardihood to deny that more than two-thirds of the people of Hawaii, exclud- ing the coolies, oppose annexation. None will deny that for this opposition more than two-thirds of the Hawaiian people are disfranchised and deprived of a voice in their government. None will deny that an- nexation is desired only by an insignificant minority of the people of Hawaii. Therefore the principle of majority rule is violated by annexation and that pol- icy is a travesty on justice. It is well in times of storm and stress to take our bearings, accept fixed principles as our compass and steer where they point out the course. It is because we have from the beginning insisted upon majority rule that we have been accepted as a beacon by believers in the rights of man. g Can it be possible that we are to declare ourselves a false light, to lure upon the shoals instead of guid- ing to safe anchorage in quiet waters ? Can we contend that we believe in majority rule for ourselves and adopt its opposite for others? Can it be possible that our power is to be used in helping small minorities in other countries to throttle the majority, destroy autonomy, transfer sovereignty, shift allegiance and seize and convert public property? Can we stand on this principle of majority rule and consent of the governed at home and by our im- perial power violate it everywhere abroad? Are we to make it our mission to cow and browbeat ma- jorities into silence while minorities steal govern- ments and transfer countries to our flag? If so our methods will go into history as infamous beyond expression. How can any American tolerate the proposition to take Hawaii from Dole’s minority oligarchy and not as the offer of a majority of the people ? How can any American retain his self-respect while pretending to follow in Hawaii the Texas precedent while refusing to Hawaiians the privilege given to Texans of a vote by all of the people upon the trans- fer of their allegiance? Senator Lodge's plea for majority rule in the Sen- ate is the most decisive condemnation of the purpose for which that Senatorial majority is to be used. There is but one justifiable rule between men and | among nations, and that is the rule of right and of justice. We are before the world as the champion of that rule against Spain. Can we look the world in the face and defiantly violate it ourselves? EUROPE, SUBSIDES. OR a time at least Europe has subsided. The Fsuggestions of a possible intervention to prevent the dismemberment of the colonial empire of Spain, of which we heard so much when the war broke out, are now of infrequent occurrence, and when put forth at all are made in a minor tone. No one gives further heed to them. The contest is but little more than fairly begun, and yet it has already disposed of one important issue. It has made clear that the ac- tions of the United States either in peace or in war are not to be subject to European interference. The speedy elimination of this factor from our con- flict with Spain has been due undoubtedly in a large measure to the position taken in regard to it by Great Britain and to the bold utterances of Salisbury and Chamberlain. Nevertheless it would probably have been disposed of just as effectually had those states- men been silent. The course taken by the Govern- ment at Washington has shown in a most unmistak- able way that we will deal with Spain as our interests require and will not turn aside in any respect fof fear or favor of any other nation or concert of nations. The preparations made for following up the victory of Admiral Dewey by sending to Manila an army sufficiently strong to occupy, conquer and hold the islands are an effective notice to Europe that interfer- ence will not be permitted. We ‘are prepared to ac- cept all the responsibilities that follow the events of the war. If by the overthrow of a Spanish force we leave the subjects or the commercial interests of any nation exposed to raids and spoliation we are able to re-establish law and protect them. The star- spangled banner will guarantee the property and the lives of all Russian, German, French, British or other persons in the Philippines. No foreign Government shall have any excuse for intervening in any way whatever. The powers of Europe have evidently recognized the true nature of the situation and are submissive to it. We hear now and then of some newspaper tirade against the Wnited States, and occasionally the angry utterance of some sea captain of a foreign ship in the West Indies denouncing us for our course there, but we hear no more of those efforts on the part of the powers to arrange for a concert of action, which were so common at the beginning of the war. The active interference statesmen have subsided. The European jingo has collapsed. S ———— There seems to have been a successful landing of troops and supplies in Cuba. If the yellow press had not been thrown off the scent this could never have happened. It would have told the Spaniards just where and when to meet the expedition. Apparently there are to be two Generals Otis sent to the Philippines, and if the major happen to get his identity mixed with that of the brigadier he will have hard work holding on to his popularity. O Juie It is too bad that the Columbia should by a poke in the ribs from a neutral craft have beea cheated of the chance to win glory just at a time when there is so much glory available.

O presented by an o X O admiring friend 0000000000 with a beautiful violin cover of yellow silk on which his| initials “E. Y.” had been embroidered in red. He was mightily proud of the gift, and when his priceless Stradivarius was not in use it was enveloped In the silken covering. That was before present hostilities ex- isted between the United States &nd Spain. But when the relations between the two Governments became strained, | Ysaye, who has acquired a great love for our country, thought that it would be traitorous to use the hated colors of Spain for his violin cover, but belng a conseci- entious fellow and having a high regard for the donor he did not particularly care to discard the gift. 3 Finally when he reached this city. with Gerardy to play & local engagement, he was taking a stroll one afternoon and happened to see a magnificent silk flag in a show window and the thought imme- diately dawned upon him to have it con- verted into a cover for his beloved in- strument, and the transformation was forthwith accomplished. That night he appeared at the theater and just before: going on the stage the patriotic' artist opened his violin case and disclosed to view “Old Glory,” which he waved in satisfied glee, and three suppressed cheers behind the scenes was the result, in which the maestro heartily joined. The next night Gerardy, not to be out- done by his assoclate, took off the outer cover of his violoncello, and there sur- rounding his instrument was another silken American flag, and the cheers that followed were not quite as suppressed as those in the first instance, The artists de- clare that since the stars and stripes have utilized to cover their instru- ments resultant music .:xpo.n to ‘have increased in fervor ‘strength and Yeava js dacidedly pleased at the strategic way in which he has got rid of the Spanish-colored cover and -also of the patriotic spirit which he has inculcated in the Leart of his young confrere, Gerardy.
