The Iy members present were well rights and the representative principle have been held intact. Our history and our achievements have re- sulted from the overthrow of British power and the steady growth of American ideas and of American civ- ilization. We have our own precedents to guide us, and we need no imperialistic trust to conserve our power or to revolutionize our policy. Friendship | with all nations is and should be the desire of every patriotic American, but “entangling alliances” are as repugnant to our interests now as they were in the days of Washington pleased with the prospect, having ing been greatly encouraged dur- ing the past week by the news from various cities throughout the State to the effect that local com- mittees were being organized and efforts would be directed at once to swelling the fund for Califor- nia's artistic testimonial to the hero of Manila Bay. Mayor Phelan presented for the consideration of the ecommittee a letter from John Barrett, ex-Min- ister to Siam, inclosing a check for $25 as his subscription to the mon- ument. In transmitting the check Mr. Barrett took occasion to say: “I think San Francisco's idea to erect a monument in honor of Ad- miral Dewey is one of the best ways of perpetuating his memory, and I am confident that he will appre- ciate such an honor mere than the raising of any house fund.” THE FAILURE OF MARTIAL LAW. PORTS from Idaho to the effect that persons R brought from the notorious bull pen at Kellogg to attend court at Wallace have in some in- stances obtained exemption from the indignity of confinement in jail by paying tribute to the county jailer adds the one thing required to complete pub- lic indignation against the methods which have been made use of by the authorities to bring to punishment the persons guilty of the crimes committed at the out- break of the miners’ strike. It has been urged in justification of the action the Governor in proclaiming martial law, and of the ary authorities, that a condition of lawlessness prevails in the mining dis- trict around Wardner with which the civil authorities are powerless to cope. Even if the charge were true it would not justify all that has been done there in the way of suspending the habeas corpus act, sup- pressing t by jury and Still less would it in any way atone for the license per- of ‘subsequent action of the mi ilencing the press. mitted to the soldiery to insult women, or to the seeming immunity of the jailer in levying tribute upon prisoners committed to his charge.

From all reports that come to us it appears no op- portunity was given the workingmen to show their respect for law and their abhorrence for crime.

Capps of San Diego is heartily in favor of the movement and will at once endeavor to enlist the aid of the Chamber of Commerce of that city in the enterprise. . To the Editor of The Call—Sir: I am glad the movement to erect a monument to Admiral Dewey is meeting with such universal favor. I should like to see a monument to this greatest hero of the war in every city on the coast, but since this cannot be, what better place than San Francisco to erect our tribute %o the commander and statesman? I think it is pretty generally recognized that Admiral Dewey is no greater naval officer than statesman. It is to the lasting credit of San Francisco that $30,000 was raised in one day toward the cost of the Dewey monument, and any project beginning so auspiciously cannot fail. The American spirit of the coast people will not let it fail, and I think San Diego will be heard from be- fore the necessary funds are raised. The City Council, of course, cannot take the matter up, but there is no reason why the Chamber of Commerce of this city cannot assist in the good work. Fublic and lasting tributes of this character to such heroes as Admiral Dewey are creditable to the nation, a reward to deserv- ing heroes, and an encouragement to the rising generation. The monument must be erected. 2500000007 0°0°000C000! ness, left and joined his comrades.
