Even should it be determined to renew their voyage and take them in the transports to Portland to be mustered out, they will nevertheless have received while in our waters an evidence of the popular joy over their return and 2 maniiestation of the honor in which they are held by their fellow countrymen. The campaign from which the volunteers have re- turned has been one which imposed a heavy stress and strain upon the discipline, the valor and the en- durance of men raised in the temperate zone and ac- customed to the comforts and the freedom of Ameri- can life. Incessant skirmishing, long marches in the swamps and among the rice fields under a tropic sun, exposure and the continuous danger of pestilence, have put their manhood to the supreme test, and they | have borne the trial with such success as to add a new honor to the glorious record of their State, and to confirm the confidence of the republic in the trust- | | distinct from the courage and sacrifice and suffering worthiness of her volunteer soldiery.

ITH commendable deference to public senti- W ment and the wishes of the rank and file of the party, the Republican County Committee has withdrawn the petition asking for the conduct of the primary election of the party by a blanket ticket. The Election Commissioners have granted the committee until Saturday to file an amended petition, under which, in accord with the popular will, the elections will be held by Assembly districts. By this prompt action the committee has avoided what threatened to be a disastrous blunder. It has proven its willingness to act in harmony with the party as a whole instead of following the lead of a few would-be bosses. It is now on the right track, and has only to continue in the same way to assure Republican success in the coming elections. The next step is that of providing a strong ticket of thoroughly representative men in each Assembly district to be voted for as delegates to the county convention. Owing to the deep interest taken in the municipal contest this year it will not be difficult to ger good men to serve as delegates. The convention therefore ought- to be composed of men who have the best interests of the party and the city at heart, and who will nominate worthy men for the high duty «f organizing the government of the municipality under the new charter. There are now good reasons for the expectation that all will go well with the party. The first blunder has been corrected and proof given that the voice of geauine Republicanism is dominant in the party councils. Republicans are to be congratulated on the outlook, and the committee merits warm approval for the course it has taken. It may be, as reported, that the State Department will never locate the resting-place of John Paul Jones, but Americans can always put their fingers on the place their country’s earliest naval hero holds in history. 5 SR The returned Oregonians know a good thing when they see it. From Colonel Summers down they are unanimous in their desire to be mustered out at San Francisco ey July 14, at thel | ambushes, dodged bullets | against invasion they have developed the genius of | They are more and more impressing history with the | truth. They are more and more promoting the | thought that sin in the individual cannot become sin- less in the many individuals who compose a nation. In the end the influences propagated by such men prevail, when the tumult of passion and the agitation of bidders for passing popular favor have passed away. One reading a majority of the Fourth of July ora- tions is struck by the lack of thought, of consistency, of truth, in most of them. In his oration at Metro- politan Temple on that day Mayor Phelan said of the undeclared war against the Filipinos: “No' word of mine can add to the glory of our soldiers and sailors who have laid down their lives in the most sacred war of history.” Such extravagance of expression is not needed to perpetuate the worthy memory of the brave dead, nor to secure adequate recognition of the valor of those who have survived the rigors of tropical warfare. Dead and livirig, they have done their duty, and if | the nature of it shall impress the people with an | fold benefit will follow their deeds. There is a wide | zone between the cause in which soldiers may _flght; and the bravery they show in battle. | Nearly thirty years ago Holland concluded to | “pacify” Acheen, inhabited by the same race as| Luzon. She is still at it. In that long war the Dutch | soldiers have shown the greatest bravery. While | investing an Acheen stronghold, where the native | flag fluttered from a tall staff, one day a Dutch sol- dier was seen to run from his own lines into those of the enemy, and the cry of “Traitor” and some shots followed him from the ranks he had left. Im-| mediately he was seen climbing the Acheen flagstaff and when he reached the top he tore down the native colors and put in their place the tricolor of Holland. As he slid down the staff he was cut into shreds by the kreeses of a thousand Malays. In the | war against the hill tribes of the Chitral the English soldiers added to the history of heroism most brilliant chapters, telling the story of individual bravery. The | Scotch piper, Johnny Findletter, shot through both feet, squatted on. his bleeding stumps and, without Should the Government | Missing a note, played to the end “The Cock of the | North,” the pibroch of the Highland regiment. In | that rough country the British soldiers cut through and bowlders rained on them from mountain tops, and acquitted themselves | bravely and well. In Luzon our troops have equaled any of these | deeds of courage, and their countrymen will not for- | get them nor history fail to perpetuate their memory. | But reckless bravery in Acheen does not make the | Dutch war holy. The poor hill people of the Chitral | had never harmed England. National policy required :‘ British domination of the poor land where they fed | their flocks in peace, and British statesmen an- | nounced that the Chitral was in rebellion and the traitors must be punished, though the tribes had never been under British subjection and therefore could not be rebels against it. Their country was needed as a buffer for the Indian frontier, and their | humble huts were burned, their flocks scattered and | their braves were slaughtered for defending their | homes. The bravery of the British soldiers did not | make such a war holy. It planted in every just| heart a regret that such brave men should be ordered | to death by their country in such a cowardly cause. 3ehind the Philippine war is the motive, but it is of our soldiers, who know their first duty is obe- | dience. What harm had the Filipinos done to us? | The cause of human freedom and the upward trend | of humanity have never been served by offensive | wars. The rise of man and the progress of the| world have been in the keeping of those driven to war defensively. - When men defend their homes | seli-government. If a war against those who defend | their homes is “sacred,” then Mayor Phelan is right. | If it is God’s purpose to punish every people “who | aspire to independence, or who resent invasion, Mayor Phelan is a correct interpreter of the divine will. If it is sacred, then the Mayor is a worthy fol- lower of Rev. Mr. Henson, who in his pulpit said that cur Declaration of Independence is “as damnable a lie” as the devil ever invented, and of Whitelaw Reid, who says 1t is “an absurdity.” On the same occasion Judge Cooney said of our | undeclared war against the Filipinos: “Though’ it looks like oppression, this war in the Orient is not. It is but a lesson to teach the natives in the Eastern | isles the true worth of liberty.” That is what Cromwell said when 'his troopers | passed the Pale to pacify Ireland. It looked like oppression when the Roundheads carried the pierced bodies of babies on their pikes and lgft the mothers groveling and deflowered behind them. The differ- ence between the physical force of the Irish and Cromwellians was about the same as between the Filipinos and us. The Irish were overrun, their | lands confiscated, their huts leveled, their crops tramped into the sod. But from the Cromwellian standpoint it was all to teach them the true worth of liberty. They have been slow to learn, but now that they have the Filipinos for company, and England | and this republic stand shoulder to shoulder, gun in hand, administering lessons in the true worth of lib- erty, we hope the Judge will apologize for his past protests against Great Britain’s rule in Ireland and will do justice to the memory of Cromwell and the holy war he carried into Ireland. NO TAMPERING WITH THE MAILS. ENTIMENTS have been attributed to the S Postmaster of San Francisco in a published interview that require some explanation and for which no warrant can be found in any official utterance of President McKinley or of any membet of his Cabinet. It is claimed that he had expressed his willingness to inspect articles opposed to. the ex- pansion policy that may be circulated through the mail service and to unite with the Postal Inspector in “having them thrown out.” If this publication is not unfounded the Postmaster of San Francisco threatens to exercise the same power in California through which the Czar has prac- [ NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA- aversion to war and with the love of peace a two- | T | tinguished men who could have told a different story. | two universities, with all their accessories, stand as Ht is an undesirable element in advancing cultivation | tutional provisions and to statutes that are an ample | protection to the public, he has a legal right to ex- | press and to .circulate his sentiments upon all sub- | jects, including the policy of retaining the Philippines. ;Any denial of this right is unAmerican. Any actual | interference with its free exercise would be the act of a despot. The Republican party originated in the assertion of the rights of free speech and of a free press. It owes its existence and its prestige to the fact that it up- | held these fundamental principles of free govern- | ment against all opposition and brought the theory iand the practice of the country into correspondence. ‘Talk of a censorship of the press, under a Republican ;administra!ion, is simply nonsense, and only deserves | attention on .account of the prominence of the indi- | vidual and the wildness of the ideas that have in- | duced these comments. P ) TION. HE meeting of the National Educational-Asso- ciation at Los Angeles is an event of marked significance. Since the days of Thomas Arnold of Rugby, who was pronounced “the greatest school- master who ever lived,” pedagogy has become a science, depending as much upon principles and rules as upon men and women. It has been found that‘in education, as in all other characteristics of modern civilization, no permanent success can be solely based upon personal capacity, and that law and system, which are the noiseless order of the universe, are also the potential energies through which alone hu- man intelligence can be raised and fitted for the higher functions of self-government. There were two incidents in the first day’s pro- ceedings of this great association that to some ex- tent affected the symmetry, if they did not mar the harmony, of the occasion. In receiving the mass of educators, representing the highest intelligence, training and refinement that our national institutions have produced, the Governor of this State, with his usual lack of tact and with his wusual| coarse disregard of fact, referred to our Cali- fornia pioneers as merely the physical agents of merican progress—wielding the ax, the shovel, the | pick and the plow, and rudely preparing a virgin ter- ritory for the higher cultivation that has come to u at iast. In that assemblage there were many dis- In the entire history of the world, ancient and mod-’ ern, no such movement of elevated humanity is re- corded as the migration to California in 1849. Schol- ars, statesmen, jurists, scientists, men who repre- sented the best strains of blood and the finest educa- tional opportunities of the age, were the represen- tatives of the Union and of the world who entered into the possession of the territorial acquisition that extended the American republic to the Pacific. The convention that framed our original constitution was the inspiring power of the compromise measures of 1850, which were the crowning glory of our national life as it then existed. The common school system of this State leaped into comparative perfection when the long contest ended, and without preliminary tute- lage, California was received into the Union.

SEASON of the Miller company in make of us all thorough going sports, if one night in their society is a criterion to judge by. We rise to a man at the fall of the curtain and swag- ger out ready “to back any handy jockey for a pia ' call our friends ‘‘duffers” and tell them their choice “has no earthly,” that we're not ‘“keen” about taking their tips and that if we're “given our head” we're “‘game” enough to keep well “iuside the rails.”” We want to learn to “take in the points of a horse,” we want to we'll stake our all with Lady monds included, and if we “‘wear paste and begin again.” But above all, we want to “smoke Egyptians!” We're over the mood a little by morning, and feel more safely conservative, but we want to see the comedy again at the earliest opportunity. We come to this sporty feeling slowly and somewhat tedi- ously, for with restless rapidity the Mar- quis of Quarmby and the Honorable Tud- way fly from subject to subject, avolding the one that is nearest their hearts and closer to the plot of the play, and when Lord Aigy frankly says “I don’t see the point,” we echo his sentiments and hope for speedy light. Nevertheless, this Is art, for in real life, when we are about to ask for something we much do yearn for and have but a slim chance of geiting, we feel our way just as haltingly and stupidly, staving off a crash as long as possible. When_ they finally come to an understanding the charm begins to work and we are “with” Lady Algy to the end. The quiet climaxes in the play are charming. There s never a bid for'a cur- tain call, yet it follows inevitably. The better than clever, for their point is speech go hand in hand to success. In the last act, when Lord Algy leads Mrs. Tudway, by off-hand persuasion, back to mediocre respectability, the play is remin- escent of “The Liars.”’ At times, too, we recall “The Moth _and the Flame,” but with_the charm of the comedy upon us we find these impressions but fugitiv Lord Algy is a man of three grievances. He wanders through the first act trying vainly to get some one to enjoy the hos- pitality of his decanters, through _the second on a tipsy search for Mrs., Tud- way, and through all three in search of happiness and a place to anchor. In-the hands of Mr. Miller Lord Algy 5o com- pletely wins our sympathy and approval that if madame had not in the end “‘come back to stay” we should have followed her behind the scenes to undertake her reformation.

Our | monuments to the intelligent grasp, to the sagacity | and to the deep-seated patriotism of the California | pioneers. | The address of Dr. W. T. Harris, United States | Commissioner of Education, was of a different com- | plexion. It was pervaded by deep thought and elo-4 quently phrased. But it was stamped by some views | on the question of expansion that will attract com- | ment and can hardly be expected to command the | assent of the Government. He used this language: “The United States can uplift whole nations. Is not this better than to build a Chinese wall about our liberties?” The United States has endeavored to guard the prosperity of its citizens by the policy of protection and its racial purity by the exclusion laws. It has been considered for a hundred and twenty-five years or thereabouts that this continent was a sufficient field for the exercise of our develop- ing qualities, and that our national occupation was the production and the maintenance of a Caucasian republic. It is only lately that, under a variety of pretexts, it has been proposed that we should form a partnership with Great Britain for the enforced ex- tension of our civilization to the inferior races of | Asia and of the Antilles. The development of impe- rialistic ideas, under humanitarian disguises, has al- ready threatened our constitutional system, into which it is the special function of the American com- mon school system to indoctrinate American youth. to have the theory and the practice of our country reversed and sentiments avowed and inculcated that are inconsistent with the special mission that has so far separated the United States from the monaréhy and from the imperialism of Europe. Dr. Harris is admirable for his capacity, but we sincerely trust that, before the association adjourns, there may be some modification of views that we can- not accept as sound, and that have a tendency to alter the currents of American patriotism. e ey p There is a disposition on the part of the Southern Pacific Company to censure the engineer and the station agent for the train tragedy at Newman. This will be startling news to the people of California, who have been educated by the Southern Pacific to believe that responsibility for death on the rails is at the door of those killed, because of their criminal negligence in using Southern Pacific trains. A newspaper that would stand idly by and refuse to extend aid to starving men could be expected to do nothing less than jeer at an effort to succor them. It is just such exhibitions of bad taste that distin- guish yellow journalism. — It is a relief to hear that Chief of Police Glass has not been “broken” by the Los Angeles Commission- ers.

The scene is too quiet. At fancy dress balls our society register runs higher. As a nation we love noise, and when crowds assemble a babel of voices is indispensable. Mr. Tudway is the only real excitement, and he, with his brigand make-up and ‘“‘scoundrel, vil- lain, blackguard!" speeches is impossible and absuard. But 1 would sit through three such acts to see Mr. Miller “take a header” downstairs and Miss Anglin dash across the stage to the rescue of poor tipsy Lord Algy, to hear her say, “Come along, dear old fellow; I'll get you a cab.” What a touch of nature and what an artist Miss Anglin is to make the action seem womanly and refined! I wonder when we shall decide what role we like her best in? In hands less skilled we might find Lady Algi‘ a little impossible. The role of the Marquls of Quarmby was well sustained by Mr. Standing, but why does he not articulate more distinct- 1y? In fact (and let me say it gently, for when a company is so thoroughly good it seems carping to pick minor flaws), several men in Mr. Miller's company will “never make the blind see with their ears.” The Mawley of young Mr. Whiffen | was exceedingly good. If his face has the regulation’ fifty-five muscles to write the feelings and passions and emotions with- in, we would never suspect it—never. Cap- tain Standige, the Duke of Droneborough, Swepson and Jethro are not new type: We learn to depend upon them as part of our regular theatrical income, but we don’t often find the roles as well handled as they are in “Lord and Lady_Algy.” Swepson is especially good. Mrs. Whiften is interesting chiefly as scenery, for the reason that she has a very stupid, un- grateful part to play. Her costume, after and a long way behind Reynolds, is a stroke of genius. Miss Burton’s work is not good. She is too studied and too fond of gesture. She does not seem to have learned that thought stills the bhody and | feeling makes it active. The first set, With its panels in Flemish oak and touches of heliotrope and reseda, is, as Mrs. Tudway says, soothing and restful. In the last act, when the lights are on, it all takes on a tone of half-mournine in beautiful harmony with the dejected entrance of My Lord, the unlucky, whose tips would break the Bank of England. In spite of its“second act, “Lord and Lady Algy” is a rare good comedy. and not to see it twice 1s not to know -it. CHARLOTTE THOMPSON. AROUND THE CORRIDORS Dr. A. E.
