But if there be any desire to legislate for the interests of the consumer it should be easy to demon- strate to the lawmakers the fairness and justice of a law which would enable buyers of articles of food to know exactly what they were paying for. A truthful label on an adulterated article would infallibly drive it from the markgt in due time, no matter ‘cheap’ it might be.” There can be little doubt of the essential soundness of that view of the case expresses it: food adulterators is open to question, since how to be correctly labeled as to their nature and the place and time of manufacture would injure no honest industry. Such a law is so fair to all that it would seem impossible for even the most powerful lobby to defeat it if a strong public demand should be made for it. e o ——— Russell Sage agrees with C. P.

He has | merited both, and the wealth and the liberality of the | American people are equal to the patriotic task of | providing both - | The home of the ‘Admiral is to be in the East, his | noblest monument should be in the West.

The glorious victory in Manila Bay was essentially |a Western triumph. The anxiety felt along the Pa- | cific Coast at the outbreak of the war is still within | the memory of all. It can be easily recalled that each | successive rumor of an approaching Spanish fleet was received in every city along this c¢o~e. with more or less suspense. There were fears fur our ships upon the sea, for our coasting vessels, and even a fear in some quarters that our cities might be bombarded. In the very midst of that suspense, while rumors of the coming of Spanish warships and privateers were rife, came the glad news of Dewey's victory, |and at once the sky was cleared. By a single mighty blow the Admiral had struck and destroyed the en- tire naval force of Spain on the Pacific Ocean. At once all fears were banished. Even the most timid no longer felt anxiety. It was with a rejoicing unal- {loyed by any doubt whatever that our people gave | themselves up in those glad days of early May to | celebrate the triumph of the victory and glorify the | hero. i Nor did the service rendered the Pacific Coast by | the Admiral end with the preservation of our ships and our cities from menace of Spanish attack. The far-reaching effects of the victory will be felt in the future even more than in the past. The battle gave | us an opening way into what promises to be the com- | mercial empire of the Pacific. It will be, therefore, |a Western victory in its consequences even more than | in its immediate result. It will mark in the pages of lhi@mry the point at which San Francisco ceased to | be the back door of the republic and became its chief | portal of entrance for the great trade of the greatest | of the oceans of earth. | It is useless, however, either to multiply reasons | or to lengthen the argument on the subject, for the effects of the victory, as well as its glory, are well |understood by all who are capable of appreciating the value of historic events. The one thing now is to I provide a means for adequately commemorating | California’s gratitude to the hero. That cannot be done by any contributions we may make to his home at Washington. What is given to that purpose will | be lost in the larger giving of the East. We should | have a memorial that will be clearly and distinctly { Western, that will represent the gratitude and the pa- triotism of this section of the Union. The movement for the erection of the monument, | | moreover, should be started by San Francisco, and | we therefore urge the Mayor to appoint a committee | of patriotic, public-spirited and energetic citizens to take it in charge. The Call will give it every sup- | port. All contributions to the fund will be acknowl- | edged and published as they are given, and every | cther assistance and aid that a great journal can give [to a public measure will be cordially extended.

ROFESSOR KNAPP, agent of the Agricul- tural Department, who spent a few weeks in icu]mm[ possibilities of the Philippines, has reported | that the islands offer splendid possibilities to Ameri- | can home-seekers. | No doubt the professor is sincere in this. Having | been salaried and sent to see the islands in a way to encourage expansion sentiment at home, he has done ‘;his duty and has seen the country through the official rather than the natural eye, and reports accordingly. The genuinely American press, however, has upon it a duty that is not requited by a salary nor colored by official station. That duty is to let our people know the truth about home-seeking in the Philip | pines. : | The population of our States and Territories on the Pacific Slope is about four per square mile. Califor- | nia has less than ten per square mile. The Philippine Islands have an average of 100 per square mile, and some of them have 250. If the 10,000,000 people in the Philippines |added to the present population of California and dumped into this State we would then have only i"'m"' seventy-two people to the square mile. This will | give some idea of the crowded condition of that tropical country, which invites the American home- ;wckcr to go under a vertical sun and into a mass of | humanity where men swarm like bats, and the cli- | mate renders their lives nearly as ephemeral. | The average duration of life among the races | planted there by nature is twenty-five years. As that {'short span is granted to the indigenous people, a still shorter is given to the temperate zone races were eration of them is unknown. Darwin noted that even English dogs taken to the tropics so degenerated in the second generation that their characteristic traits disappeared and the breed became worthless. {ippines, all the land is already in individual, corporate or tribal ownership. All tropical countries are poor ccuntries. Nature supplies man’s physical wants without need of his exertion. So no surplus is pro- duced by voluntary labor, and there is no movement of production, transmutation and exchange, which is the wealth-producing process. Most of the physical labor in the Philippines now Lis performed by Chinese coolies, imported under con- { which attempt domestication there, and a third gen- | In addition to the crowded condition of the Phil- | tract. If we keep the islands and give them a semi- niilitary administration to hold the people in subjec- tion, the order enforced by the sword will be taken advantage of by capitalists to import and use coolie labor under penal contract. The American army will be handy to coerce labar and compel the Asiatic slaves to perform their contracts. At this moment we see the army being used at home to comp®®em- ployers to accept certain conditions, and to forbid labor the right to earn wages unless under certificate from the commanding officer! Granting all the errors and crimes to which folly has led laboring men, their effect was transitory, and the civil courts could deal with them. But when the army fixes the conditions upon which men may work at home, what may be expected of military adminis- | tration 7000 miles away! The tropics offer no shelter, nor prosperity, nor health, nor length of days, to the American home- sceker. 1t is said that these new possessions will serve to drain off the increasing class of the discon- tented among us. There is never discontent without a cause. Deporting those who suffer from that cause does not remove it, but rather tends to its in- crease. A small part of the hundreds of millions spent in tropical exploitation already, if devoted to home concerns, would have left no American sus- ceptible to the lure of home seeking in the tropics. AASAAAAARASAsanasasas s S e aasss s @ 22 S D SV RTEPR TNV OSSP TS O PTT JUDICIAL LEGISLATION. HE body of the common law, though in theory | derived from immemorial custom, is in reality | chiefly of judicial creation. The English | Judges, accepting certain principles, rules and maxims as fundamental, extended their application from cen- tury to century, so that in effect they exercised legis- | lative authority. ‘They have always charged juries on matters of fact, which has given them a vast influence ]‘in the determination of practical issues. Under the | arbitrary rule of the Stuarts, when the Star Chamber was in existence, the last batch of corrupt and arbi- | trary Judges known in English history dictated ver- dicts and held life and liberty almost completely at their mercy. Judge-made law, however irregular in its origin, :accomplished beneficent results under the great Lord | Mansfield, who drew from all available sources, in- Icluding the civil law, of which English Judges had | been profoundly jealous, and adapted and expanded ic.ommcrcial jurisprudence to the necessities of modern | times. | But when the Government of the United States | was established, the wise statesmen and patriots of our country, appreciating the terrible danger to free | institutions in the centralization of power and in the | | | i | in the first place accurately defined the limitations on | Federal authority, by holding it within an express | | grant and essential implications, and, in the second | place, as a fundamental proposition, organized three | separate governmental departments, each distinct from [the others, while all were connected by the indis- | soluble bond of the Union. Thus it happens that | from 1787 to the present time, in theory and until late years substantially in practice, the jurisdiction and | procedure in the Federal courts have been rigidly confined within the text of enabling statutes and such iimp]i(‘d powers as were indispensable to the effectual ! administration of justice within those carefully de- | | fined limits. The constitutional amendments result- |ing from the Civil War, justly designed to insure per- ‘snnu] liberty and the protection of property, greatly | increased the jurisdiction of the Federal courts. They have always exercised the anomalous right of expounding evidence before juries, which has oper- | ated to insure or defeat justice according to the in- | | dividual training, opinions and practice of the incum- | bents of the Federal bench. The people, however, | have been so jealous of judicial encroachments, the | tendency to which is natural and marked, that the ‘S(:\le constitutions, almost if not quite unanimously, | | have distinctly prohibited that kind of interference | with jury trials. | The gradual enlargement of the powers of the Fed- | eral judiciary and its increasing exercise of legisla- ;tive functions of late years has been facilitated by Congressional enactments that favor concentrated and aggressive wealth, at the expense of the rooted | principles ,of American institutions. No more for- midable or dangerous example of this tendency could | be found than part of the decision of Judge McKenna in the grain rate case, as interpreted by Railroad | Commissioner Blackstock in his report, ultimately | perfected with the assistance of William F. Herrin. The enormous-advantage to be derived by the rail- | road and by other oppressive monopolies from the views thus disseminated can be readily perceived from a short extract: “While the commission has a con- stitutional and statutory authority to regulate and | fix freights and fares, yet the same must be just and | reasonable, and the question as to whether or not they | are just and reasonable may be investigated and de- | termined by a court of competent jurisdiction”—that | is, by a Federal tribunal. It will be observed that the | law here declared is not that the court may decide whether a State commission has exercised some intelli- | gence and some discretion in the adjustment of rates, | but whether the rates as established are “just and | reasonable.” The ultimate right, therefore, to deter- | mine the main fact within the conceded jurisdiction of [the commission is claimed to have been transferred to | the Circuit Court of the United States. This means |that a Federal Judge can exercise the identical func- | tions of a railroad commission, and if his judgment | approve the schedule, then it will stand, but other- wise it will be set aside. It is doubtful whether, in the exact case to which | we have adverted, on a final hearing the Circuit Court | or the Supreme Court of the United States would | | justify this wholesale appropriation of authority. But | the tendency, somewhat weaker now than three or | four years ago, is unquestionably in that direction | |and should be corrected by wise Congressional legis- | lation, equally just to corporations and to the people, |and equally restraining the illegal dominancy of par- | ticular classes of monoplies and the anarchical ele- | ment that has apparently taken possession of the Democratic party. In the State courts, in reference to mutual benefit and benevolent societies, recent de- cisions have almost made them independent of the es- tablished tribunals of the country, and there are Fed- | eral decisions somewhat on the same line, indicating that great jurists have at least scented the danger we have pointed out. But the possibility of an unnatural commingling of judicial and legislative functions should be averted by clear and definite stafutes, leav- ing no room for misconstruction. There can be no more vital necessity for the safety of the republic than firm adherence to the original distribution of powers between the three departments of govern- | ment. | | | T IROAROKRDAPAPAPAP A OKOXD fi0*0*®*0*6;¢*0*0;®*0*0 KOAPADK VAP U P A PARPAPAOXOAOAD? .@*@*@*(-‘*@4*@*@*@*@ *(-\-);O*Q:X:;;@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@ KOARPARPNOXOXC The only satisfactory explanation of the otjection of Huntington and Russell Sage to liberal education is to be found in the fact that neither of them has ever been either liberal or educated.
