To add that there was never a belief in its sincerity is a mat- ter of simple truth. “The company begged the Merchants’ Association to Told off until 2 test case had been decided in the East.

HE conditions of peace with Spain, which have been outlined, and attributed to President Mec- Kinley, will attract the attention of the world by their extreme moderation. This admission of mod- eration, however, is from the standpoint of mili- tarism. There are two courses which the United States may pursue, leading to the same end, but by paths entirely different. As the people and posterity | are_vitally concerned in the choice scon to be.made, it is fair that each course should be fully-and frankly | stated, and that the gonsequences to .follow be pointed out as far in the future as legitimate (oresnght can go. Referring to the principles which actuated the peo- ple of this country before and at the beginning of the controversy, the course of abstention from conquest has a definite basis. Let that course be stated. The government of her island colonies by Spain had un- dergone no change of methods for centuries. These | cess. [ | the terms of peace, we can compel the independence | from that of eve { hing, nd his | Philip II, nor Charles V, of Napoleon, nor of ‘Ger- | many and Russia. It is the policy of abs\em@n of | seli-control, | to their recognition. | it cannot become a conquering nation. +a century has passed since the idea, which was the| | nation. | fathers, we have not intruded upon the affairs of the methods became less tolerable as aboriginal condi- tions disappeared and the colonists, touched and elevated by commercial contacts, were enabled ,'to contrast their situation with that of the people of the | English, French' and Dutch colonies: within nelgh— borly distance of them. We made war to compel a change for the Spamsh colonies. We have vigorously prosecuted it to suc- Projecting the declared purpose of the war into of Cuba, and its future government by its people under such system as they freely seleét, with the over- shadowing understanding that we will no more per- mit the misgovernment of the istand by Cubans than by Spaniards. We may permanently secure coaling and naval stations in the American and Asiatic tropics. We may bind Spain in an agreement, to be broken at her peril, for a Philippine government that will respect the rights of man, offen ports to com- merce and permit to the archipelago the penetration of modern enlightenment, religious toleration and civilized industrial methods. Then we can recall our | armies and navies, pay the bill and go about our own business. The practical politician will call this an ideal policy. It is. Let its strength be fairly exam- ined. Having demonstrated our power in war, and the irresistible quality of our soldiers and sailors hav- ing been exploited on land and water from Santiago to Manila Bay, the world will always know that be- hind this ideal policy there is a physical force lhar no | nation, nor combination of.nations,”can resist. We | | will be known as a people willing, at our own cost, to inflict a lesson useful to those who endure and those who inflict oppression. Thereafter, throughout | the world, the yoke of government will rest lighter | upon the shoulders of men, and this nation will be | the strongest that has ever existed. This strength will be ours without a vast army or a magnificent navy. We can create both whenever they are needed. No | one can then accuse us of uiterior motives when we | order lifted the hand of the oppressor and strike it off for refusal. We will become the agent of the regener- ’ for strictly family benefits; ation of the Spanish people. We will not be a stalk- | ing horse for Don Carios and the means of the | medieval reaction which the success of Carlism vulll mean in Spain. No nation will care to be our enemy, and all will compete for our friendship. We | need make no alliances for our own sake. They will | seek us, and be ours to choose or refuse. It will be observed that this policy differs entirely ry imperial nation from the begin- It was not the policy of Babylon, nor Mace- donia, of Rome nor Carthage, of Charlemagng, of | of unselfishness. It is a novelty in its But our republic is ideal.

Granting the hermit character of upon the world's stage to take a part thereon. What shall be our cue and our character? In the beginning of this Spanish war the cue was in line with our ideal policy. Shall the character we play be that of re- | publicanism or ‘militarism? Shall we stand with the | nations, not a partaker in their policies, but in.main- tenance of our own? The course herein stated puts us on that great stage, to take a part in its complex dramas, as still the republic of Washington and Jef- ferson; to exert the influence which our strength jus- tifies, in line with our professions and history; to humanize government, to impress upon those “in authority the capacity of man to manage a larger rather than a less part of his affairs. No other nation has ever stepped on that stage in that character. If we do not, we bring to it no novel feature. If we go there to haggle over conquests, to dispute over the division of spoils, to give and take blows in the in- terest of our imperial expansion and to représs the same ambition in others, we will offer evidence that sovereignty, shifted from one to many, loses none of | the virus with which it has poisoned the waters of life from the beginning. If we go as believers in the right | of conquest, that he may take who has the'power, and he may keep who can, we.go not in our moral but in our military right, and until now no nation was ever s0. strong in its military power that it did not meet its conqueror. i We have inscribed on the keystone of the republic’s arch “Esto perpetua.” Can it be perpetuated by ex- changing moral for military strength? That is the issue to be decided, and we have endeavored to state it fairly, as we will endeavor to state the arguments for the opposite policy. An effort to have a Call-Herald man expelled from Madrid is not surprising. He has been telling the truth, and he is in an enemy's country. When the Examiner-Journal men are sent into exile the reason is different. They are bounced from territory under United States jurisdiction, and though accused of many things have escaped any charge of telhng thc truth. Al ekl Soldiers cannot be strongly condemned for at- tacking the owner and circulating agent of a pie wagon. They have suffered considerable from sick- ness, and realize what has ailed them. i AL R, g It is impossible to retain respect for a quartermaster who has been stealing from the commissary. He is too much like the fellows who annexed and sold Red Cross supplies.

Z Y a liberal applicktion of whitewash Gould, | B Curnow and Hale have covered the blackness of the stain on the administration and internal management of Agnews Asylum, but the stench of the ‘unearthed scandal remains and the bad odor will cling to the institution until a thorough cleansing has been made. Moreover, it now appears that the cleansing will have to include the eradication irom | the asylum of Mr. Gould and his colleagues of the | San Jose gang. To the general public the greater scandal of the administration of the institution is not in any way as§ociated with the loves, lawful or unlawful, the jealousies or:the rivalries of the subordinate employes. It matters little whether the conduct of Goid's hali- brother and the girls was or was not up to the normal standard of Santa Clara County morality. Curnow and-Hale, who live in San Jose, are competent judges on that point, and having now granted to that con- duct.a certificate, “cum summa laude,” the public has | hardly any further concern in the subject. The graven issue and one of importance to the whole State is the dnsdocure (hat the directors have | made the asylum a “private snap” for the bénefit of their relations and- political friends. The whole in- stitution, it appears, has been used for the benefit and | behoof of the managers. ,Positions have been be- stowed without regard to fitness or fidelity, and hardly even to decency. As a result the discipline of the institution has gone to pieces. The medical di- rector himself, not free from suspicions of the gravest character, holds the office, it appears, in vio- \lation of the law, and of course has been able to do nothing to check the vagaries of Gould's half- brother or any of the frisky friends of Curnow and | Hale. Moreover, the use of the patronage of the institu- tion for personal or family advantage has led to dis- | sensions among the directors themselves. The ma- | jority of the board—Gould, Curnow and White—are | Democrats, and had they agreed they might have | worked the institution. harmoniously on the spoils | system without serious scandal. "Curnow, however, lis a Jim Rea Democrat, and Gould soon found that : he must join that gang if he wanted to make sure of a place for his family connections and their girls. He seems not to have hesitated in his choice. He laid aside all loyalty to the Democratic party, all re- gard for the welfare of the institution, all respect for his ‘obligations to the State, all consideration for the | administration of the Governor who appointed him, ! and stood in with the gang. As a result of the deal he was enabled to introduce into the asylum that fascinating half-brother whose attractions for ladies have been the cause of so much vanity and vexation wof spirit among all’ the employes of the institution | from the innocent farmhands to the spotted Sponogle in the medical director’s office. { | This is the deeper scandal of Agnews Asylum— | that a State institution can be used by its directors that appointments can | be made without regard for merit or service, and in direct violation of law. The true offenders at Ag- news are the three directors, Gould, Curnow and | Hale. What could Sponogle do to enforce discipline and keep order in an institution where his subor- dinates in rank were the relations or the girls of his superiors, where every one had a pull, and where any interference on his part could be met with an im- pudent tra la 1a? Agnews needs cleaning, and the cleansing process must begin at the top. A ‘‘GROWING” OPPOSITION. E observe with much interest that in one quarter at least several Republicans of this and three other outlying counties have opened the State campaign in a manner that is not only enthu- siastic, but eminently “regular.”” A morning con- temporary, which every two years vigorously pro- motes the Senatorial prospects of its proprietor, an- nounces that the opposition to the renomination of Congressman Loud of the Fifth District is gm\ ing.” 'Forty men representing ‘‘leading” ‘clubs in this city, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz coun- ties called upon the State Committee on Thursday nd, according to this contemporary, “in the strong- lest terms made known their opposition.” our | past policy, let us consider the manner of our entrance | 8763t izt dogReublicin vy Seilor | 1898. Opposition to the renomination of Congress- This may be said to be the “opening gun” of the man Loud is “growing.” We do not read that the forty “leading” Republicans referred to by the morn- ing paper in question suggested any man to fill Mr. Loud’s place. Indeed, no evidence is produced that they were not all disappointed office-seekers intent in Republican “yellow dog” years, and which cus- temarily results in turning Congress, the Legislature and the State government over to the Democrats. The shyness of our.contemporary in giving their names leads us to suspect that they were actually a band of pap-suckers who have temporarily lost their grip upon the public udder and who are charging around | hungrily searching for the man responsible for the disaster. It ought not to be necessary, however, to remind our Senatorial contemporary and “leading” Repub- licans, not only of the Fiith but other Congressional districts, that the interests of the State demand the constant re-election of experienced Representatives. Until a man has served in the Lower House two or three terms he amounts to nothing. Chairmanships are never given to unseasoned members. To retire Loud at this time means that the Fifth District shall go unrepresented in Congress for about six years, or at least until the new man shall have mastered his job and attained sufficient prominence to entitle him to a recognition by his party. The cperation of re- tiring Loud, to our mind, would resemble the dis- missal of a'competent man and the filling of his place with a blank. If Congressman Loud had committed any political _crime, or had failed to represent his district, or had neglected to get appropriations, it -might be proper to call him to account. But the “leading” citizens who oppose him prefer but one charge. They say it is rumored that Speaker Reed has written to the railroad asking it to do what it can for Loud! Of course this is terrible, if ‘true. But why does not somebody prove it? Certainly the ~“leading” Re- publicans of the Fiith District cannot ask us to credit their unsupported statements in the midst of an ex- citing campaign. . However, we shall observe with interest the en- deavor of ‘our contemporary and its “leading” Re- publicans to turn the Fiith District over to the Dem- ocrats. The successful accomplishment of the feat ought to entitle the former’s propnetor to the Sen- atorship. | Chicago morning papers have raised prices from one cent to two cents.

Also, he has no sense of humor, from the Caucasian standpoint. In his childlike, innocent way, he will do things | which would send a European peddler to jail for months, and no one will take serfous notice. That is why the decorous gravity of a Plne-street French restau- rant was rudely disturbed the other | night. The proprietor was busily engaged fill- ing bottles with the compound familiarly known in the Latin Quarter as ‘‘dago | red.” This is an operation which requires | great skill nowadays, since the war tax fell with a sickening thud on the land. Every bottle bears on its neck the 2 cent stamp required by law. When refilling the bottle you must be careful not to | stain or destroy the stamp, or else it could not be utilized again. With proper precautions, the same stamp may be used over dozens of times, and thus it hap- pened that the proprietor of the restau- rant, in his absorption, failed to notice | the entrance of the prohibited Chinese peddler. John marched gravely up to the center table, where a half-dozen ladles and gen- tlemen were dining in a friendly way. “You wantee buy?’ he said, confiden- tially, to the prettiest lady of the group, as he undid the strings of his parcel. | “Welly good; welly cheap.” He held out a gauzy, lace-trimmed pet- | ticoat. The lady shook her head and turned her attention to a mysteriously compounded entree. ‘““Allee litee,” continued John, nothing discouraged; ‘‘thls one more better.” He held out a delirious dream in lace and | gauze, with frills and furbelows all over it. His eyes shone with triumph as he displayed this masterpiece of his pack. | *“Only one dollar,” said John. It was just a question wl‘ether the inci- dent would end as a joke®or a scandal; but, fortunatelv. the audience, having well dined, saw the humorous aspect of | the case. A roar of laughter from all the tables delighted John, and taking this as a sign of approval, he proudly trotted | round the room, displaying his pair of unmentionables to every lady present. Just then the proprietor, having dodged the war tax for the fiftieth time that day, arose and took in the situation at a glance. Ten seconds later a dazed and battered Chinaman, who never saw the joke, decorated the pavement outside. Professor J. M. Woods, the blind violin virtuoso, is at the Russ. John A.

The question an a boy born in a foreign country to American parents, while such parents were temporarily so- journing in that foreign country or while veling in a foreign country, become President of the United States?’ is one that has been asked a great many times, not only in this city, but in every city in the Union, but no satisfactory answer has ever been furnished. The children born to American parents while on a temporary sojourn in a foreign country, or born to American parents while the father ir in the service of the United States abroad, are recognized as American citizens, but whether they are natural born citizens within the meaning of that portion of the none but & natural born citizen shall be eligible for the presidency, is a question that has never been brought up in a legal sense, consequently there has never been a de- cision, and until such a decision is ren- dered it will never be satisfactorily an- swered.
