N encyclical note addressed to the powers of Europe re- questing them to meet with his representatives in con- | ference for the purpose of providing a way for the maintenance of peace and the disbandment of the large armies and fleets which now entail such a heavy burden upon the people of all European countries. | The proposition was so startling that the first com- | ments on it were hardly more than gasps of surprise. A London critic calls it a dramatic stroke and says its effect coming from the Czar was almost as great | as t had come from the Kaiser at Jerusalem. In Berlin it was said that the note would make a good THE CZAR'S ENCYCLICAL. ICHOLAS, the Czar and autocrat of all the Russias, has met the reports of impending war “The Butterfiies " | between his empire and any other nation by an | | Guard,” edited in | doubtedly the effect of the paper system; but its first | A WORD WITH __I?EMOCRATS. T is evident that all the political fusions of this year, lmadc by the Bryan leaders in control of the Dem- ocratic party, are made to secure a show of strength that will lead to Bryan's nomination in 1900 as a sort of forlorn but star-spangled hope. The New York Democracy has chafed under the conditions of 1896. It elected last year a Cleveland Democrat to the Court of Appeals and another Mayor of New York City. This is regarded as high and mighty treason by the Bryan leaders, who now serve notice on the Knicker- bockers that they must this year indorse the Chicago platform and dance the whole silver figure or take the censequences. 1t is interesting to note the paths into which fusion is leading these people who follow a name and tremble in the presence of “regularity” in conventions and tickets. In every fusion made this year the party commits itself to an issue of irredeemable paper currency. In California the strongest party in the fusion trinity is undoubtedly the Populist. Take away from the Dem- ocratic ticket the gold or national Democrats, who accept the Indianapolis platform as expressive of the true faith, and the others who don't believe in fusion, and the Populists outnumber both the Democrats and silver Republicans. They were first in the field to nominate Judge Maguire, and he has signed and ap- proved their platform, and declares that it is identical with the Democratic platform. That platiorm demands free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, but it also, in more decisive tones, demands that the | Government issue irredeemable paper currency in un- | limited volume and arrange for equitably distributing | the same among the people. Every man who votes | the fusion ticket votes for this paper issue. In the i stress and emergency of the Civil War the Republican | party was driven into the issue of the greenback paper currenicy. The Government agreed to make that cur- | rency good by converting it into money. But this | promise to redeem it did not prevent its fluctuation, and the Democrats never tired of attacking it and the party that was responsible for it. We suppose that the party now will take strictly Democratic testimony as to the effect of that paper currency upon labor and trade. 3 In 1864 there were two organs of Democratic | opinion in the country which never struck their flags and held out to the end. One of these was “The Old ew York by C. Chauncey Burr and Thomas Dunn English. That magazine dictated : Democratic opinion. It said in 1864: “The issue of | any kind of paper promise to circulate as money is a | fraud upon the producer, because the tendency is to give him less of money’s worth than he would get if paid in specie. It is also a cheat to rob the working- man of the proceeds of his daily labor. This is un- effect is to cause an appearance of prosperity, which lasts a little while, until revulsion ensues.” subject for discussion during the dull season In Paris they wondered how the Czar could propose dis- armament without first consulting France. In neither of the three great capitals of Western Europe does | it appear that the proposal is regarded as at all prac ticable. incredulity and a criticism verging upon ridicule. There are ample reasons for believing, however, that the Czar is quite serious and that he will make a really earnest and vigorous effort to arrange for peace with the other European powers that will last at least for the rest of this generation. He has nothing to gain and much to lose by the outbreak of hostili- ties, and the cost of maintaining his army and navy in readiness for war is a heavy burden indeed upon a people so poor as those of his empire. The ambitions of his Ministers, moreover, at this time are not directed toward wars and military con- quests. They are now constructing a railway across the vast Asiatic continent and are planning a canal from the Baltic to the Black Sea. These enterprises entail large expenditures, and his financiers would gladly be relieved from the necessity of providing money not only for them, but for an army and a navy besides. It is furthermore to be remembered that the estab- lishment of the proposed peace would not in any way check the advance of Russia in Asia nor prevent the expansion of her empire. Now that she has obtained | from China control of a port on the Pacific that is open all the year round she can afford to move slowly and trust to diplomacy, colonization and commerce to win for her all that she wishes in that part of the world. As for the long desired extension southward toward Constantinople, that is a2 matter that can wait. In the meantime diplomacy can do much in that di- rection also and virtually make Turkey a dependency of Russia. The proposal of the Czar is therefore one well cal- culated to promote the interests of his empire. There is no reason why he should not urge it with all his force and influence. It is one that appeals to the sympathies of good men, to the desires of the peas- antry of all countries to be relieved from heavy taxes and military duties, to the interests of industry and that great commercial class which has now become so powerful in the world and finally it must appeal also to the wisdom of statesmen who have been long struggling with the complexities of the existing sit- uvation. The coming conference, therefore, is likely to be an important one. It has been met at first with cynicism and ridicule, but it will be treated seriously before long. Everywhere it has been met with a cynical | s According to W. H. H. Hart, to himself is due the fact that the President favors the retention of the Philippines. Mr. Hart will be remembered as the gentleman who glided into office on the strength of having rallied a panic-stricken army by an heroic rata- plan, and with his little drum leading them on to vic- tory. The trifling circumstance that Hart had not been on the scene was not permitted to interfere. However, he may have converted the President. At least there is no proof that he didn't. Police Judges sometimes seem to get an idea that they are collection agents and have a right to employ criminal law for the expedition of civil business. It is hardly necessary to state -that they are mistaken There being then $600,000,000 of paper circulation, “The Old Guard” said: “This is a pretty abundant currency, and the fact that it is so is manifest every day in its depreciation. For instance, in Canada flour is $4 per barrel in coin. Ten miles south of the | Canada line the same flour is $6 75 per barrel in paper. The consumer is robbed of $2 50 by the depreciation of the paper, showing its superabundance. The Gov- ernment is jeopardized by the infamous schemers who | seek through paper money to destroy not only the | Union, but what remains of popular rights, even the | right to live by labor. If these were the direful effects of issuing a re- deemable paper currency, we leave it to the Demo- crats of to-day to say what will follow the issue of irredeemable paper demanded by their candidate for Governor. “The Old Guard” continued its discussion of paper | currency, saying: “High wages do not long delude the poor man, for he finds them to be very low wages | when he goes into the market to buy the necessaries | of life. He discovers that his paper abolition dollar buys less than 37 per cent of what old-fashioned Dem- ocratic money used to. There is an average increase of 45 per cent in the price of everything the poor man must buy with the money he receives for his labor, while the nominal increase in the price of labor is less that 10 per cent, which leaves the workingman poorer . in this, and that when they strike a man with the nerve to demonstrate the absurdity of their position they will be brought up with a turn so sudden that it will mzke their heads swim. The doctor of a Kansas regiment has been sen- tenced to five years’ imprisonment for having dese- crated the grave of a Confederate officer on the field of Bull Run. The sentence does not at first glance seem severe enough, but it must be considered that the doctor will have to go back to Kansas to serve it. ARt Self-defense as an excuse for shooting an unarmed man of 80 strikes the unbiased as being rather a weak plea. However, it seems to be the best Cornelius Sul- -Jivan can advance, and we have no disposition to in- terfere with the tribunals in which the administration of justice is both an art and a profession. An old-time bicycle champion was recently de- _feated by a new racer, and the crowd hissed the loser. It was an Eastern crowd, 2 fact which knocks the _spots out of the theory that civilization along the Atlantic border is of a superior type, ~ by 35 per cent. And prices are still going up, while the value of the Republican currency is running down. Let this policy continue three years longer and the poor of this country will be brought tc the door of starvation.” In all that there was the element of a general truth. The price of everything except labor, in an inflated but redeemable paper currency, did rise as the cur- rency fell. The Republican party, mindful of the con- ditipns that were created in the emergencies of war, immediately prepared to redeem its promise of con- verting greenbacks into money, and made them worth their face in gold. But, we ask every reasonable Democrat if redeem- able paper currency brought the industrial disasters of which they complained in 1864, what will be the effect of the irredeemable currency which they are supporting in their fusions of 18987 CUBA’'S PECULIAR PATRIOTS. F Dr. Castillo is a sample Cuban patriot the island l will be in a bad way after it has really fallen into the hands of the natives. Yankees have been termed “pigs,” but if the appellation is deserved, what shall the Castillos be called? This chap is in Wash- ington with a claim for $35,000 for the destruction of cocoanut trees near Siboney. He is not willing to take his pay in the boon of liberty; he is after the cash, and deserves not to get it. Castillo does not state the manner in which his trees were destroyed. Perhaps the boys in shinning them for nuts barked them fatally. Possibly the trunks were needed for the construction of roads. It may be they were scorched to death when necessity arose for burning Siboney to destroy the yellow fever germs lurking there. But whatever the precise circum- stances, Castillo has not a good case. If it were a first-class case his grandchildren might collect, but there is no utility in Castillo’s monkeying around with his claim. Americans did not go to Cuba with the idea of de- stroying anything but Spanish rule. That they suc- ceeded in this more than offsets the incidental dam- age. Castillo did not draw a sword himseli, nor, in- deed, draw more than regular rations. So long as he preserved a whole skin and 2 full stomach he ought to be satisfied. It’s a measley sort of patriot who is willing to have an alien nation do his fighting and fur- nish his grub, and is not willing to donate to the cause a few trees. Probably the trees were not worth the sum mentioned, but if Castillo pins his faith to the cocoanut as a source of income, his best scheme is to go back to Cuba and plant some more. This Castillo is a brother of the general who imagines himself rightful Governor of Santiago, and who is likely to have his material system materially jarred unless he lay aside his pretensions. The first the Castillo family knows it will be in disfavor. While Dewey is calling for more ships there can hardly be an absolute certainty that Merritt may not call for some more men, THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET. ARDLY less important to California Republi- cans in this campaign than the selection of strong candidates for State offices is that of putting forward in every county a strong legislative ticket. The issues involved in the control of the coming Legislature are far reaching and are likely to affect national as well as State politics. There are at present eighty-nine members of the United States Senate, Oregon being one Senator short, and of these forty-four are Republicans. The recent victory in Oregon assures that the vacancy in the Senatorial representation from that State will be filled by a Republican, and a Republican has also been chosen to succeed Senator Gorman of Maryland. If no other changes occar the party will have just a bare majority in the Senate when the next Congress as- sembles, and that margin of superiority will hardly be sufficient for the important legislation that .is ex- pected to be undertaken. It is clear, therefore, that in order to advance the adoption of the great national policies of the Republican party with regard to the currency, the promotion of American shipping and other hardly less important matters, the Republicans of California should make an earnest effort to send a Republican to the Senate to succeed Senator White. In addition to the national issues which may be de- pendent upon the vote of the Senator to be elected at Sacramento this winter, there are a host of local questions which render it imperative that the Re- pubiicans should have a strong working majority in the Legislature. No matter what advantages nature may have bestowed upon a particular community, its prosperity is always more or less affected by the laws which direct its affairs. No natural prosperity, how- ever great, can withstand the drain put upon a people by a wasteful and extravagant Legislature if left to run its inevitable course. While the large national questions at stake upon the clection of a United States Senator, and the impor- tant local issues involved in the election of a Legisla- ture that will be at once economical and progressive, will naturally incline men to vote the Republican leg- islative ticket, too much dependence should not be placed upon those factors in the problem. Senatorial and Assembly districts are comparatively small, and the candidates in them are generally so well known to the voters that personal considerations are often as effective as political issues in determining results on election day. The legislative ticket, therefore, should be made up of men who are personally popular and esteemed; men whom the people know and trust; men who are not under the domination or influence of corporations or bosses; men who are not pledged or bound to any corrupting combination or personal- ity; men who can be counted on to do in office that which they promise in the campaign, and whose can- didacy will add strength to the whole ticket in the districts where they run. THE SILVER ‘‘REPUBLICANS.” MONG the which go to make up the Maguire fusion party none occupy quite so humiliating a position as ists met in State convention at Los Angeles on Friday last, adopted a platform and meckly accepted the mor- mittee which conducted the Populist and Democratic conventions. But there was no enthusiasm, and no nothing, in fact, except a feast of indigestible crow. This may have been due to the circumstance that obtained but two offices. One of these is a Justice of the Supreme Court who is without political pull or resurrected political fragments the Silver Republicans. Representatives of these faction- sel of patronage doled out to them by the fusion com- interest, no exultant feeling of victory, no cheering— out of the fusion division the Silver Republicans have patronage, and who cannot even stump the State—at | least, not without some sacrifice of judicial dignity and neglect of duty. Walter Van Dyke, the nominee re- ferred to, is a Superior Judge of Los Angeles County. The other crumb doled out to the Silver Republicans was the clerkship of the Supreme Court—a position which has been given to H. A. McCraney, an old line stalwart, the better part of whose life has been ex- pended in scalping Democrats and putting Populists to the torture. But the Silverites have accepted what has been given to them with thanks, and in return they have swallowed the entire fusion ticket, unwashed and all. How many of them will vote for the candidates other than Van Dyke and McCraney remains to be scen. If one may judge from the platform adopted by the convention not many of them will do that. The Silver Republican declaration “reaffirms” the prin- ciples and doctrines of the Republican party “as de- clared and promulgated by Abraham Lincoln and James G. Blaine.” These principles and doctrines do not accord with those “declared and promulgated” by Thomas Jefferson, who was set up by the Democratic convention as the political deity of the day. How can the Silver Republicans support a ticket which represents in great part the antithesis of Republican- ism? How can they vote for nominees who regard the Dingley law as the invention of the devil, seeing that that law establishes the great principles for which Blaine contended all his life? How can they vote for nominees who look upon McKinley as an “enemy” while they commend him for his “earnest- ness and patriotic zeal in the prosecution of the war?” On one point, however, the Silver Republicans agree with their fellow fusionists. They are united on the 16 to 1 theory, on their opposition to the retire- ment of greenbacks, on their aversion for bonds and denunciation of international bimetallism, and on their view that bankers are birds of prey who feed upon the remains of the people. But all this has an ancient and fish-like smell. Are the Silver Republicans aware of the fact that these things were repudiated by the peo- ple in November in 1896, and have since been in- terred in the political graveyard? Evidently the poli- ticians of the Silver Republican party have just re- covered from a long nap, and yet their platform indi- cates that they are actually aware of the war with Spain and have an inkling of the new issues which have in consequence sprung up and which are now engaging the minds of men. The only hope for the Silver Republicans, however, is to keep awake. If they fall into slumber again they may open their eyes after election and find themselves dead. — e Now all the officers of the police force above the rank of patrolman want to be provided with swords. It might have been known that something of this sort would happen when the Chief insisted on riding at the head of every procession with a glittering blade spanking the flanks of his charger. He looked pretty enough to be demoralizing. In attempting to draw a parallel between the fa- mous Barnaby poisoning case in Colorado and the Dunning tragedy the Chronicle might have added that the man convicted of the former crime was convicted on evidence on which a sensible jury would not have hanged a yellow dog. Sagasta declares that Spain is still at war. The Premier has evidently become so rattled that he does not know peace when he sees it, LONG LIST FOR VOTERS 10 SCAN Persons Cited by Reg- istrar Biggy. RIGHT TO VOTE DOUBTED MANY CLAIM RESIDENCE IN ONE PLACE. They Will Be Required to De- fend Their Registrations or Be Disfran- chised. The work of purging the great register of illegal registrations is now fairly in progress. Last evening Registrar Biggy prepared the following list of persons cited to appear and explain their registra- tions. He makes the statement that no charges yet stand against any of the in- dividuals cited. Some of them will, no doubt, be able to offer satisfactory expla- nations. «Not a few of the citations are based upon the suspiciously large number of voters claiming residence in ceriain houses. On Thursday next the Election Commissioners will have the list of cita- tions placed before them at the regular board meeting.
