They regard as.among their privileges that of selecting from the nominees of the regular parties the men whom they consider the best, and for- mally indorsing them. In theory they are on a lofty plane. There are many other people who desire the best men for local office and do not care as to the political affiliations of the men. But have the Non-Partisans lived up to their de- clarations? They nominated Phelan for Mayor. They did this before the Democratic convention, at which his nomination was a part of the programme, had | met. It strikes us that if they had been sincere they would have waited. They do not know even yet whom the Republicans will nominate. The choice of the party may be a better man than Phelan. Yet Phelan was on the programme of the Democrats. He was at the head of the slate. There was no ne- cessity for indorsing him hastily. The Non-Partisans could well have waited and ascertained what the Re- publicans intended to do. Perhaps the fact that the Republicans have no slate is. unfortunate. As said above, it is quite possible * that fully as good a man as Phelan will be put forward. Ttis not beyond the range of™ possibility that” a better man may be named to lead the ticket. Nevertheless the Non- Partisans have deliberately tied their ‘own hands. They have robbed themselves of the opportunity of making an untrammeled choice. As to the head of the municipal ticket they are already bound, whereas, if they- were sincere, they would have waited. They have merely accepted the theory that Phelan is in- vincible, and, with a selfishness worthy of a worse cause, have tried to climb into the band-wagon. When the Republieans shall name the man of their choice the Non-Partisans will realize that they have been hasty. va indorsing Phelan in advance they have destroyed their own influence. They marked themselves as “programmers.” This was an error of judgment. They might be programmers and -escape rebuke, but they were guilty of a mistake when they proclaimed the fact. PROPOSED PARK - IMPROVEMENTS. HILE there is so much well-founded dissatis- W faction among the people with nearly every branch of our municipal administration, it is gratifying that in the Park Commission the city has one administrative body to whose work the citizens tan point with pride, and to all of whose proposals for further improvements attention can be given withomt even a shadow of suspicion that anything in the way of a job is to be furthered at the expense of the taxpayers. The commission has at this time a most notable improvement under consideration, as was outlined in The Call of yesterday. The improvement contem- plates the connection of the park with the Presidio by the acquirement of seven blocks of land stretch- ing from the one to the' other and lying between Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues. The title to a ronsiderable part of these blocks is already vested in the city, and there is reason to believe the rémainder may be obtained by donations or contributions. With the control of these blocks in the hands of the commission it would be possible to connect the park with the Presidio by a grand plaisance occupy- Ing the whole width between the two avenues—a ipace ample enough to afford room for a broad drive- way withi a roadway for horsemen and a bicycle track 1s'well. Nor would these occupy all the ground. There would still be large spaces for trees, flowers ind expanses of grass. The appropriation for the maintenance of the park s not sufficient to enable the commission to purchase the portions of the blocks required, and the under- :aking of the improvement is therefore dependent apon the liberality of the property-owners and other titizens who may be willing to contribute to the pro- sosed work. Tt is therefore to be seen what can be fone to obtain the needed donations and contribu- ions in time to begin the improyement this winter, The benefits in the way of increased land values sertain to accrue to all property in that fieighborhood rom the canstruction ‘of the proposed driveway are ich that the owners of the desired- lots could well ifford to donate them to the city, as was done by. hose owning land along the line of the Dewey boiile- rard. * They have now an opportunity of enhancing ‘he ~desirability of their property for residence pur-. yoses and at the same time aiding in the accom-: slishment of a notable embellishment of the city, and t is to be hoped they will promptly take advantage of it Somebody makes bold to call a Philadelphia paper fown for having said “The United States are,” Yet he constitution says the same thing. | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1898. MR. GAGE'S CANV@SS. R. GAGE in making his canvass for the gov- /\/\ ernorship had the good fortune at Santa Bar- | bara, as at Los Angeles, of addressing the people so shortly after Maguire that the contrast be- tween the language, the sentiments, and the political methods of the two men was clearly discernible to the public. It-is one which counts so impressively in favor of the Republican candidate that it will un- doubtedly go far in determining the result of the vote of election day. Perhaps the most striking feature of the contrast between the rival candidates is that shown in the at- titude of each toward his opponent. Maguire goes about denouncing and vilifying the Republican party, the Republican State Convention and the Republican candidates. Mr. Gage has no words of vilification for any one, and makes use of denunciation only to con- demn the slanderous methods of his opponent. Answering the charge made by Maguire and ‘by his supporting orators and organs that the members of the Republican State Convention had been domi- nated by corrupt influences, Mr. Gage said at Santa Barbara: “I take pleasure here to-night in denoun- cing that calumny. It is beneath a man who aspires to the high office of Governor of this State to utter such a statement. I would not have the temerity nor the dishonor to say that the gentlemen who composed the Democratic convention assembled at Sacramento were a band of scoundrels or were dominated by cor- rupt influences. No, never would I make such an as-, sault upon common manhood in that manner. It would be dishonorable. Every Democrat, every Populist, every man, woman and child in this audience who hears my voice knows it would be dishonorable for me to assail the integrity of such a body of men by making such sweeping charges against them, and it is equally reprehensible on the part of the gentleman who heads the Democratic ticket to say such things of the Republican convention.” In this single statement we have an illustration of the striking contrast between the characters of the two candidates. Mr. Gage discusses the issues of the day as a statesman, conceding the honesty of the rank and file of his opponents, but pointing out their errors; Maguire rants like a demagogue, assailing the character as well as the politics of any one who differs from him. Mr. Gage appeals to intelligence; Maguire to ignorance. The one expects a response from reason, the other from prejudice. The Repub- lican looks for success to the better sentiments of the voters, while the candidate of the fused factions of discontent hopes to achieve a victory by exciting one class of citizens against another and arousing all forms of passion from rage to envy. The people of California can hardly hesitate in de- ciding which of these two men is the better fitted to fill the office of Governor—which is the more worthy to be the chief magistrate of a great commonwealth. The intelligence of the voters will note the contrast between the two as the campaign goes on, and the re- sult will be an overwhelmirg vote for the champion of clean politics and fair debate—Henry T. Gage. BERKELEY’'S GREAT NECESSITY. F the regents of the University of California need an object lesson in college presidents they may profitably study for a brief period the record that | has been made by Professor Jordan of Stanford. Not only has this learned man since he took up his residence at Palo Alto lifted the Stanford institution into worldwide fame, but he has himself become an important factor in the intellectual and scientific life of the country. Far and wide his opinions are | quoted and his scientific knowledge utilized, and it cannot in the nature of things be very long before Jordan will represent us abroad in almost everything intellectual. An instance of how a live college president by keeping his thinker and pen moving can confer dis- | tinction upon an institution under his charge is shown by Professor Jordan's recent letter on the an- nexation of the Philippines. This subject is just now enjoying the attention of the civilized world. Pro- fessor Jordan has not only tackied it with charac- teristic boldness, but he has evolved some ideas which are at once thoughtful and original. He says the Filipinos are no more fit for self-government than so many monkeys, and he sententiously deals im- perialism this kind of a logical blow: “(1) Dominion is brute force; (2) dependent nations are slave na- tions; (3) the making of men is greater than the building of empires.” The terseness of Jordan's letter has caused it to be everywhere quoted, and thousands are now hearing | of Stanford University who never knew that such an institution existed before. Some of the jingo papers are abusing him, which is additional advertising, since it demonstrates that there is a college president somewhere out West to whom it is necessary to pay attention. All this is business. While in his letters and speeches Professor Jordan contributes a great deal to the moving thought of the time, thus justifying his existence in the world, the main result of his in- tellectual activity is the development of Stanford Uni- versity. Young men all over the country naturally seek a college possessing such a president, and in course of time parents will send their sons nowhere else. If the regents of the State University will look at this matter from a practical standpoint they will observe that the way to make the institution in their charge a national concern is to place at its head a college giant like Jordan. With his prototype in the State the intellectual fur would fly hereabouts in a manner that would be at once lively and edifying.” Besides, were a man like Jordan placed at the head of the Berkeley institution the students there might occasionally beat the Stanford boys at football. A brainy president in a university makes _everything ‘“‘go” from the ground up. Omaha is getting too enthusiastic when it an- nounces that President McKinley will visit the ex- position and make a balloon ascension. The Presi- dent of the United States is a dignified gentleman, not even remotely connected with the show business. R The Emperor of China is said to have lost his job. Perhaps he can find work in some other capacity, but the fact that he has been superseded by a woman must worry him to a certain extent. There is something wrong among the pugilists. The big ones do not want to fight, which is not sur- prising, but some of them do not want to talk. — Spain hopes to retain the Philippines, but for what reason is not clear. She never knew what to do with them when she had them Esterhazy ought to quit prating of his honor. Let him-talk about a guilty conscience or something else he really has. e It is understood that Blanco did not join in the shouting when the American flag was hoisted over Havana. —_—l Of late the Duke of Orleans has been exhibiting violent symptoms of being a fool. THE ' MAGUIRE OF RECORD, UDGE MAGUIRE has always been ready with (J personal criticisms of other men, and always as ready to resent criticism of himself or his record. His course in respect to all things but his own in- terests as an office-seeker has been tortuous. He began holding office and seeking more at a very early age, and has succeeded marvelously in a salary drawing career. According to one account he began his official career at the age of 19. But there seems no doubt that he began voting and holding office at the same time. It is stated that he was drawing down $75 a month in the City Attorney’s office imme- diately after he served one term in the Legislature, and continued until 1878, He was then admitted to the bar and opened a small law office, which was more frequented by politicians than clients. He was elected Superior Judge on the Buckley ticket in 1882, and held that office six years. He had not-been in it long before he began bolting the party that gave it to him. His career on the bench was not marked by any extraordinary service nor evidence of high ju- dicial ability. Leaving it in 1889, he was in private life three years. During most of the time his political activity was against the Democratic party. When on the bench he had bolted, put Hinton up for Mayor against Pond, helped nominate Whelan as a bolter for Sheriff against White, and Sumner for Congress against Mc- Coppin. After this he withdrew formally and forever from the Democratic party, because it would not fa- vor confiscation of land, but in 1892 he bolted back into the party when a Congressional nomination was in sight, and since then has been a continuous office- holder and candidate. At the close of his present term in Congress he will be 46 years old, will have been twenty-five years a voter, and from fifteen to eighteen years an office-holder, and will have drawn nearly $60,000 in official salaries! There are some cases of chronic office-holding in this State, but none that equals his. He did not begin paying taxes in this city until some years after he began drawing an official salary. His first tax, amounting to $3 06, was paid in 1882, Since 1882z he has drawn $24,000 salary as Superior Judge and $27,500 as member of Congress, and about $3000 as mileage, making a total of $54,500, and for | the same period has paid in taxes $405 85. There are not many men who in the same period have taken as much out of the public treasury and put as little back in taxes. Nor are there many men who have as persistently turned against the party which has put them in office. He was. never elected on any but a Democratic ticket, and he has never scrupled to knife ‘the ticket when it suited him. To him and his friends is due the defeat for Congress of Hastings, McCoppin and Ferral. They knifed Clunie and fought Pond, and now the whole gang of bolters, Maguire, Hinton, Barry and all, are themselves “regular” fusion can- didates and are demanding the support of the party which they never supported unless they were candi- dates! /\/\ the chairmanship of the national committee of the sound money Democrats, has given tc the members of that organization some sound advice as to the course they should follow in this campaign. He points out that all signs lead to the conclusion that unless the fused Silv;l}itg and Populist factions are thoroughly beaten this year they will take com- plete control of the Democratic party, and two years from now will reaffirm the Chicago platform and re- nominate Bryan. B From these premises, which are hardly to be dis- puted, Mr. Bynum draws the conclusion that it is the duty of all gold Democrats to assist in utterly de- feating the Bryanites, and to do this he declares there is no other way than that of supporting the Republican tickets. To give an ineffective vote to independent candidates, or to refrain from voting at all, would be an indirect support to the fiat money fusionists. The only power capable of maintaining sound money in this country, and of completely crushing the fiatists, is that of the Republican party, and all who favor honest finance must vote for that party and its' candidates. 3 While the fusion candidates are saying but little of the silver question in this campaign and are endeav- oring to lead the pubiic away from it and all other national issues, there are abundant evidences that they ' are still wedded to Bryanism, and that if by their evasive trickery they can attain any kind of success in the coming elections they will use all the power, prestige and influence it gives them to strengthen the silver factions for another disturbing and harass- MR. BYNUM’'S ADVICE. R.'W. D. BYNUM, who has recently resigned 'ing campaign on the financial issue two years from now. The matter is one that concerns the largest busi- ness interests of the nation. Upon the stability of our monetary system and the firmness of our credit as a nation depends our commercial and industrial prosperity. The silver agitations of the past seriously injured almost every form of business in the United States. All sections felt the evil effects of the un- certainty caused in financial circles, and hardly any class of citizens escaped without suffering either a | direct or an indirect loss from them. The complete defeat of the Bryanite fusion is, therefore, almost as important now as it was two years ago, and Mr. Bynum is right in advising his colleagues of the gold Democracy that the only way by which that can be accomplished is for all sound money ‘men to vote the Republican ticket this fall. Carnegie’s project for establishing a gun plant to rival Krupp's seems feasible. There is no particular reason why the German should practically have a monopoly, and anyhow this talk of peace and dis- armament is such a palpable bluff as to indicate that Krupp, unaided, will not be able to supply the de- mand for cannon. St The idea of establishing a. whipping-post is not pleasing, and yet there is no other plan by which the wife-beater may be brought to a sense of his error. He usually beats his wife because she declines to sup- port him, and to send him to jail is to'treat him to a good living 'he is too lazy to earn. »o ——— 3 To tamp a blast to which there is attached a burn- ing fuse is a dangerous operation. = Nevertheless, workmen will continue to do so, and to get killed.

California’s College of Commerce has, in truth, every promise of a famous career. There are three general warrants for this bright prospect. One is the liberal and original scale and plan upon which it ‘was begun and which alone in- sured it greatness. Now Miss Flood's munificent gift provides a royal income with which its scope and work will be greatly extended. For another thing the great commercial and industrial development in Paclfic regions which has just begun, and in the midst of which California will remain, will sustain an ever- growing demand for its men and its work and afford it an immense and fertile field. We may well have faith and pride in its coming greatness. The public has heard little or nothing of it since it really came into being as the result of the enterprising pleas of some leaders in the business community, and it is interesting to know how well it has started out and whither. ‘What the College of Commerce looks like a few weeks after its start is a minor feature of its story, but one to which attention most readily turns. There are about forty of the students of the university who have made it their major course right at its inception. It should be explained that all students who have entered for this year's work have registered either as freshman or other- wise according to the entrance regulations.- The College of Commerce pro- vided no special entrance examination, because it was in the formative state and hence the old forms of registration have been followed. Only three students have, on the register, entered as students of the College of Commerce, but about thirty-seven others have taken up the course after entering as students in social or natural sciences, because the entrance requirements invited such regis- tration. At its Inception and while In its formative stage the new college has forty students. $ Y ‘One of the most Interesting things in this connection fs that two bright young men have adopted the course with the avowed intention of spemiing four years or more in fitting themselves for consular "careers. They have consulted with Professor Plehn as to the special courses they shoéuld pursue to that end. This is an interesting thing to note in connection with the apparently forming demand for a trained diplomatic and consular American service. These ambitious young men at the University of California have adopted public careers as consular and diplomatic agents of the Government as their goal. They herofeally depend tpon from four to six years of special training rather than in a pull with some Congréssman to get them the jobs they hope for. It is not a matter of general information -that this has been attempted before in the course of American history. Perhaps it is a sign of the times as well as a sign of the College of Commerce.’ A training for consular and diplomatic careers is already one of the avowed and planned .features of the work of this institution. That is only one .of the rTespects in which it is an educational novelty among the uni- versity careers of the world. The University of California appears to be the ploneer in putting -forth university men trained for this public service as men are trained to be engineers and lawyers. Other students in the course contemplate rallroad careers, a hardly less Inter- esting phenomena and & not less natural one in this age of the competition of brafns. Banking and other business careers are goals for others among the forty ambitious. But the things of most important interest are the plan, scope and hope of the _institution. It is yet in‘its early formative stage. - Its executlve head is Profes- sor Plehn, who oécuples the chalr of economics at the university. He is a man of ability and reputation and is the author of text books in economics in use in important Eastern educational institutions. He has prepared the course of study as far as it has progressed and rules the institution under the. supervision of the Board of Regents and especially of Arthur Rodgers and J. B. Reinstein, who-take a keen interest in it. Like all the colleges of the university, except the .. “professional’” ones, it is an integral part of the university and students for the most part pursue studies common to all the students, the difference being in the synthesis of the courses. These general courses, however, are being modified and enlarged for adaptation to the College of Commerce. The only absolutely new chair that has been created so far is'that of. geography, which is occupied by Professor George Davidson. This College of Commerce stands alone in the world as the only one that ex- “ists on & university plane. Germany is in the lead in this sort of education, and is developing it in a masterly’ and successful way. But the German institutions - for training young men for business, industrial and consular careers exist rather on the plane of high schools. The College of Commerce of the University of Cali- fornia presumes that students who enter it have mastered bookkeeping, elemen- tary mathematics, stenography, etc., etc., including a considerable knowledge of modern languages, and begins on the higher planes of university work, proceed- ing also to higher ends than any other institution.. This is part of its initial great- ness and glory. It is in advance of anything else of the kind on earth as in to that degree a new thing In the educational world. The course as provisionally outlined would take much space to describe in de- tail. Ethics and civil polity are prominent. . The legal studies include interna- tional, admiralty, Roman and corporate law, the commercial and constitutional law of different nations, etc., municipal government, the legislative control of in- dustry-and commerce, and o0 on. There s the history of commerce, private property, land tenures, agriculture, industry, labor, etc., in all times and lands. The entire usual field of political economy is included. There are technological studies, involving botany, forestry, the products of fleld, orchard, mine, manu- factory, fisheries, industrial art and so on, even including engineering. Modern languages are important features, and general culture is provided for. The pur- suit of geography is greatly expanded. This fleld included political and physical geography, commercial geography, geodesy, blologlcal geography, meteorology, oceanography, navigation, ete. i The department of geography s, as mentioned, in charge of Professor George Davidson. It keeps him hustling. He has a chance to get to his offiee about once a week and he earns his salary. The trouble is, it is interesting to note, that a professor of geography Is a new thing in the educational his »ry of the world, and this first professor finds that he has to rather blaze a way. It may sound odd to hear that there is no text book or manual of geography—that is, that the facts of geographical science have never been formulated in a scientific and orderly way as have the facts of geology, botany and other sciencés. But that is Professor ‘Wavidson's discovery and complaint as he proceeds to teach geography from the ;l:l:ce::ly standpoint, A wealth of geographical information exists, but it is all . The secretary of one of the great geographical societies complained that there were no text books on gedgraphy e‘;;lE&r: D:l e:::?ntg school books, although he had charge.of 31,000 volumes, including 75,000 titles. He had vainly tried to get Oxford and Cambridge to establish chairs of geogréph). Professor Davidson finds the university and local libraries practically bare of ge: ography, and he wants some rich man to give a geographical library. Amid these difficulties, Professor Davidson is going ahead with an interest- ing geographical course. He Is just now lecturing on the ocean currents, winds, typhoons, etc., of the Pacific, and how they affect Its commercial mghwn)"s His course will include ocean cables, the klnq of people in different countries, their wants, consumption, etc., and a.long list of other topics in which the practical wil, be bound up with the scientific. In many ways not here suggested the college of commerce will broadly fit cultured ynunQ men for business and allied careers, and the Pacific regions will receive speclal attention.. ' But all this lecture room work is only part of what the C 5 contemplates and what Miss Flood's gift will make possible A:él;‘rzb(:bgom:;e{g: College of Mines experiments with the cyanide process and other mining iu-oblg and as the College of Agricultiire makes ceaseless investigations « of soils, tx:s adaptabllity of plants and other agricultural problems and issiies valuable bulle. tins thereon, so the College of Commerce will go afield and while not becomin board of trade, will study commercial and industrial problems about and secye: the Pacific Ocean, both by collating Information and by sending trained investi- gators abroad, and issuing bulletins giving results. As Professor Rising studies the sugar in beets in certain soils, so may College of Commerce experts study the wants, habits and conditions that govern the consumption of cotton goods or canned fruit in the valley of the Hoang Ho, the problems in competition by sea routes to Asia, and thus exhibit the spirit of original research which is more and .more flm;:l‘ orgoden:l univmxua:, = i . Miss Flood’s endowment will be largely devoted to the C and it at once opens a still larger future. It has attracted nf:leen‘deyo:nsglim;:gice' among educators. The University of Chicago followed suit by creating a gl of commerce and Pollnu. but it embraces only existing courses and does S afleld with Berkeley.
