After its statement of the case and of on ancient the cause of the recent disorders, the reasonable peo- ple in the three nations in interest would expect to see a form of government recommended that would con- trol the small number of white foreigners who are admitted to be the cause of all the trouble. Instead of this they are left uncurbed and the natives are treated with the greatest severity. The form of government proposed can hardiy stand. When the executive and legislative powers are deposited in the same officers there is simply repeated a mistake in governmental science that was first per- petrated,. discovered and abandoned long ago. It will ro more work in Samoa than it did in the Italian re- publics, for government is government, whether its objects be a few thousand Samoans or many million Americans, and unless its form square with the world's experience it cannot stand. & The expense of sending this commission to Samoa could have been saved by the three powers, for by concert of their foreign officers a better scheme could have been devised. The islands are not placated; the murderous shelling of villages filled with old women | and children, because Captain Sturdee wanted “some fun,” is not forgotten nor forgiven by the natives, nor are the followers of Mataafa reconciled to those of Malietoa Tanu. The United States seems to be unnecessarily in- volved in a costly and vexatious partnership with Great Britain and Germany in the exploiting of that group of islands which will never pay for the trouble of governing them. The commission expects great results from the con- centration of power in the hands of the administrator, and that thereby the evils of a tripartite jurisdiction will be avoided. But the radical of these evils is left in the constitution of the council of three, empow- ered to legislate and provide the ordinances which the administrator must enforce. The latter officer is a member of that council. Though he may be a Swede, Dane, Frenchman, Italian, Russian or Aus- trian, all these powers being disinterested in Samoa, yet the European interests and contacts of Germany and Great Britain will inevitably attach him to one or the other of them. If his attachment be British, the British and American councilors will join his vote, make a majority of the council and ignore Germany. If he join Germany the council will tie and the gov- ernment will be deadlocked. So the new scheme is not promising of prolonged peace in Samoa. The native people have learned that whatever rights they would retain they must defend. After being assured by the treaty of Berlin of the right to elect their own king, and having three times elected Mataafa only to see him kept out of the office by the three nations which were pledged by solemn treaty to put him in, they will have but little faith in any A‘treaty promises and international guarantees, the | l‘ MORE YELLOW JOURNALISM. Y dispatches from the East we learn the New B York Journal has published in full the Samoan Commission report taken from The Call cf Sunday morning. In that fact there is nothing ob- jectionable, but the Journal in republishing the news from our columns acted in accord with its yellow- ness and gave no credit for it. Now stealing is always reprehensible, and getting the news in that way i3 stealing it. The Journal is at liberty to use the information which The Call gathers for its readers. It is gratify- ing to know that despite the prominence it gives to sensational fakes and Creelmanisms, it has enough in- telligence to know legitimate news when seen, and to know where to look for it when desired. The Cal insists, however, that the yellow sheet shall be honest in such matters. When it takes news of importance from The Call it should give The Call credit. It should not perpetrate the double fraud of stealing and then passing it off upon the public as the product of its own enterprise. The report of the Samoan Commission is one of the most important diplomatic documents of the year. In obtaining a copy of it and publishing it in advance of the time when it will be given out officially, The Call achieved one of the greatest successes of journal- ism. The report in The Call was copyrighted. The New York Journal knew it was copyrighted. The | publication therefore was deliberate, and was done for the purpose of enabling the Journal to parade itself | in New York as a gatherer of legitimate news as well | as a producer of yellow fakes. | That the Journal must get news from some source outside its own staff is a matter of course. That the more intelligent journalists in the yellow ser- vice should look to The Call for the needed news is equally a matter of course. Nor does The Call object to supplying it. If the Journal asks for it, The Call will willingly give it, on condition that due acknowl- edgment is made. The objection to the course taken by the Journal in this case is that the course was that of a thief who tries to make a reputation for enter- prise by dealing in stolen goods. |MONEY FOR THE GRAND RECEPTION. ROM all classes of citizens there is expected a prompt and liberal response to the appeal for contributions to the fund for providing a grand reception to the California Volunteers now on their way home from the Philippines. The response should be liberal because the men, who volunteered to repre- nev sent California in upholding the flag of the nation in | | war, merit a glorious manifestation of public honor when they return, and it should be prompt because the time for making preparations is short. We have with patriotic ardor and hospitable cordial- welcomed the volunteers of our sister States on their arrival here. That is as it should be, and yet it is known to all that the true welcome for those heroes bors when they return to their own homes. The Cali- fornia boys | have no welcome other than that which they receive here, and therefore it should be made equal to the double lcoming given to the volunteers of other States. From every point of view it is desirable the recep- tion of the volunteers should be made one of the most notable civic festivals in our history. It should be official and it should be popular. It should be accom- panied by every form of public rejoicing—banners should fly from every flagstaff, buildings should be decorated, stately parades should mark their tri- umphal entry into the city and there should be thea- ter parties, music, feasting and grand receptions. To fitly provide such a welcome will require a large sum of money to defray the expense. fixes the amount needed at $50,000. With that sum the reception will be made a festival that will have a national fame. San Francisco will add to her prestige as a hospitable, liberal, patriotic city. It is not too large a sum to be raised in such a community for such a purpose. The one point of pressing urgency is that the contributions should be prompt. The appeal has been made. Let the people respond at once. e ——— W | The London Saturday Review thinks that Canada is a big enough boy now to shy stones at Uncle Sam, who is too busy with Cleveland strikes and a Filipino war to spank the new offender. Nothing but the most factious British policy can revive, the Review adds, an annexationist party in Canada. A few opinions such as the Saturday Review entertains would very quickly create an aggressive annexationist party in the United States. The proselyting ardor of two Mormon elders has been cooled to the freezing point by a recent affair in a Florida county, in which the elders figured spec- | tacularly as principals. They wefe stoned and chased by a mob, their clothes were torn from their backs and they were forced to swim a swollen river to save their lives. They have volunteered the information that they will abandon that field for the present. The Czar's Peace Conference is at an end. Eng- land is hurrying troops to the Transvaal. Canada has a chip on her shoulder for Uncle Sam.. The Filipinos are being slaughtered with due diligence. Germany s reading an insult in every comment and European birds of prey are hovering over the Chinese empire. Even the nations enjoy a huge joke on themselves once in a while. A Corning editor has been beaten almost into a pulp by a young man who resented the imputation that his father had not as clever brains as his partner | possessed. If that young man’s mental caliber is any indication of his father’s intellectual weight per- haps the editor was right. | The Brownsville woman who gave birth the other [ day to seven babies is said to be doing as well as | could be expected. The dispatch is delightfully in- | definite in reference to what might be expected under | the circumstances. | Notwithstanding the fact that Sir Robert Peel has | announced his intention of putting all the pictures of his illustrious family in pawn, London editors are fatuous enough to think he has “redeeming qualities.” Spain is still trying to discover why her generals surrendered in Cuba. Perhaps some of the Ameri- | can gunners might throw a little light on the subject. President McKinley may be expected to branch out | with his new war policy almost any day now since | he has taken Root in the Cabinet. Chief Lees wants bicycles for the use of the police | of this city. Great heavens! aren't there enough | wheels now in the department? | The people of Spain have not only “got on” to | Weyler's caliber, but they know he is a muzzle-loader | for blank cartridges. Now if the Ko Kos of the Health Department will | only commit official hara-kiri the people will thank them. DOES THE CHRONICLE STEAL MONDAY 1TS NEWS, OR IS IT A “YELLOW JOURNAL”? SFan Srancisco Chronicle JuLy 3, 1sf "EVILS <OF YELLOW JOURNALISM.. - $im - A . 7 It hardly needed a denlal to enable u the interview so-called with Admiral Dewey at Trieste was made out of whole cloth. The truth probably is that the Herald man 'wa.nted something to offset the interview In which James Creelman represented Dewey as*gossiping to the New York Journal like an old lady over her teacups and sp hit upon the scheme of putting words into his mouth that are offensive to Germany. He rightly conjee- tured that he could print nothing more sensational, but he did not take into accofint the common sensg of the American people and the sound basis of Ad- miral Dewey’s reputation for discretion. Nor did he recollect that the Admiral Is already on friendly record about Germany and its attitude to the United States at Manila and that the language attributed to bim at Trieste directly contradicts his own state- ments elsewhere. 2 The fake character of “this Interview, with ite glaring evidence of, the lengths fo which. yellow Journalists will go to provide “readable” matter for their papers, .ought to satisfy the American puh!'- e s to say that CHRONICLE, JULY 99, GERMANY OUR Admiral Dewey” 'Says the Kaiser Is Playing a Dog *in the Manger, — N e e TRIESTE, July 28.—Admiral” Dewey thinks that the next war which the United States paricipates will be with Germany.

This assertion naturally startled the world. Admiral Dewey has not denfed it, but the Chronicle seems to think that he has done so. Acting upon that assumption and forgetting that it had the original interview in its own columns the Chronicle has become a dyspeptic scold. There are three or four phases of the affair that are In the first place the interview in which Admiral Dewey made his sensational assertion was copy- righted by the New York Herald and was the exclusive property of that newspaper and The Call.

Does the Chronicle dare to tell when and how it obtained the interview? In the second place the Chronicle repudiates editorially what it published as news. In thus stultifying itself does the Chronicle wish to be known as a yellow journal afraid of its own color or as a purloiner of news too cowardly to admit its guilt when caught? An answer to either question would be interesting and probably will not 9060690600000 0000000 ¢ COMMUNICATIONS *o e OUR POLICY IN THE PHILIPPINES Editor San Francisco Call-Dear Sir: I have been a constant and careful reader pines and the imperialistic war now be- | ing carried on in the Philippines against the natives inhabiting those islands.
