Men are not gentlemen have knowledge of that kind, and the evidence that they are not gen- lemen is their publication of it. To this rule we hink there is no exception. The book attacks the native Hawaiians en masse, vithout discrimination. Those people have been de- poiled of their birthright, their country taken from hem, and the Christian civilization carried to them md trustingly accepted by them has proved the most teartless robber that ever violated the rights of the veak.

This country will be glad to forget the final result f the missionary civilization in Hawaii. It will he ilad to close its eyes to the spectacle of a people who iccepted Christianity and with it its parasitic vices hat destroy faster than it can save. And it will be flad to dismiss from memory the scene of that peo- ile pitifully quoting the Golden Rule and the Deca- ogue while they were the helpless victims of the dolation of both at the hands of the very men from rhom they had learned them.

His faculty of adaptation of the ideas of oth and his fondness for | nd entrances are all the characteris- | His tendency to begin making a { speech to any crowd he sees marks him a natural- | born barnstormer. The impression he leaves is exactly that produced by a show. In his progress through the country in 1896 the crowds that heard him were larger than had ever listened before to a stump speaker, but where his audiences were largest his vote was the smallest. The people had gone to a show. They wanted to hear a “boy orator” aged 40. They heard him, applauded t home and voted the other ticket. To them it was a circus, a passing show. The same crowds go to “the unparalleled aggregation of bi- | ological wonders and agglomeration of mental and muscular masters of magic and mystery,” but they don’t remember the clown’s songs nor take the ring- master’s advice in their public or domestic affairs. So, rising from the circus to the stage, the audience weeps over Desdemona, though it knows she is not smothered, and it goes to the tomb in tears with | Juliet, knowing that she will be at her mutton broth | ‘and beer when the play is over. | | Mr. Bryan excites just that sort of interest and no other. , The feeling for him in his audiences is perfectly | sincere of its kind. He is playing a part, does it | fairly well, and earns applause and something more | substantial, and gets both, and there the impression | ends. | After his next defeat for the Presidency he should ‘}foflow his trend and talents and take to the stage. | His age would be no bar, for his political career has really been a course of study and practice for the | sock and buskin. He would get large audiences and | make the fortune of his manager and his own. B S — dramatic exits 3 yer. | tics of a him even, v .

The search for the Santa Clara | murderer has sunk to the purposeless seeking for a | skeleton. = [_‘ticm of the American Institute of Mining En- gineers, which is to take place on the 25th of this month, California has. much to expect. The men who are to meet on that occasion are the representatives of the scientific and technical side of | the mining industry, and are among the foremost in the world in their profession. It is upon their judg- ment capitalists rely in. making mining investments. It is upon their skill mine operators depend for the solution of the difficult problems of the work. It is inevitable that when they come to California these engineers will take a warmer interest in the mining industries of the State than ever before, and as a result they will obtain a completer knowledge. They wi_ll go from the State with a fuller and a clearer idea of the possibilities of California mining than they had when they came, and it is a foregone conclusion the reports they make of the prospects of the mining counties will go far toward attracting to them the attention of mining capitalists not only in this country but in Europe. . The institute holds its convention in this State 2t the invitation of the California Miners’ Association, and during the time the engineers are in the State they will be in a certain sense the guests of the asso- ciation. There has been arranged for them a wel- come on the large and liberal scale with which the THE MINING ENGINEERS. ROM the assembling in this city of the conven- | COLMA Lk 899 | California miner has the habit of doing things. .-\_{ter the three days’ session of the convention in the city the visitors are to be taken on a tour of the min- ing districts of the State from north to south. Two | weeks are to be spent on the trip, which will be at once an occasion of holiday and of study. Men so learned and skilled in mines and mining will quickly understand the meaning of all they see, and there- fore after their inspection they will be fairly weil posted on the conditions and the possibilities of our mineral industries. The engineers come to us at a time which is pro- pitious to our hopes of good results from their com- ing. The disturbances in the Transvaal, threaten war at any moment and may involve the destruction of the mines in that state by the enraged Boers, will naturally force mining capitalists to look clsewhere for investments until that trouble is over. Under such circumstances rénewed attention will be given to California, and the meeting here of the lead- ing mining experts of the country will be made the occasion of something more than a cursory study of our undeveloped mineral resources. There are good reasons for believing California still offers better in- ducements for mining investments than any other | region of the earth, and the visit of the engineers | will help to make those inducements known. e ey Prince Henry recently nt to an important Korean seaport town, entertained extravagantly, and then politely asked for a railway concession that would have worked serious harm to Korea. He was as politely refused. Prince Henry must have thought that he was dealing with some French army officers. v INCORPORATION SCHEME. VER since the Supervisors in response to popu- lar demand closed up the gambling which under the pretense of racing had been carried L on at Ingleside Park, the gamblers, with all their fol- | lowing, have been seeking a means to resume their | nefarious but profitable trade at some point near enough to San Francisco to enable them to drain the pockets of dupes in the future as in the past. An effort was made to obtain from the Supervisors | of San Mateo licenses for poolrooms to be run in connection with a racetrack in that county, but the ei- fort failed. A bolder scheme has now been undertaken. | It is the purpose of the gamblers and their Sausalito | allies to bring about, if possible, the incorporation of Colma as a town, their expectation being that the government would be in the hands of their tools, 1 and that all license for gambling they desire would be readily granted them within the town limits. For the purpose of bringing about the incorpora- tion a good deal of canvassing has been done among the residents, and strong inducements have been of- fered them to favor the scheme. One or two meet- ings have been held to consider the issue, and to-night another is to be held, at which time there will be sub- mitted for signatures a petition requesting the Super- visors to provide for a special election on the ques- tion. It goes without saying if the gamblers will carry it and the residents of tt vicinity will be snowed under. A considerable num- ber of men are already employed, and it w be an easy task for bling scheme to increase the number until it is suffi- cient to overcome the votes of the genuine residents of the locality. The touts, the toughs and all the gang that hangs round fake racing parks and pool- rooms will be very willing to assist the scheme for | making a gambling hell out of Colma, and the elec- tion would be hardly more than a farce. The Supervisors of San Mateo can hardly be ig- norant of the effects of the poolrooms in Sausalito and of the kind of racing that was carried on at Ingleside Park just before public indig- | gambling | ous kind, and its corrupting | nation compelled its The was of the most perni influence affected all classes, the young as well as adults, and women as well as men. To the evil effects of the track can be traced robberies, embez- zlements, forgeries, divorces, ruined homes, disgraced families and suicides.

San Mateo will do well to profit by the experience of San Francisco and Sausalito. That county is the suburban home of many of our best people. Its lands are valuable and the community prosperous because it attracts to itself families of wealth and culture. If it become a resort for gamblers and their following it will lose its attractiveness to good citizens, and Colma, which now may fairly expect to become one of the most delightful centers of suburban life, will sink to the condition of a resort of blacklegs and other types of depraved humanity. n, pastors of churches united in the crusade It is estimated by some ambi the United States paid $2 apiece for the Filipinos.

Now the Chronicle say g | “We have no room in our political system for colo- ntes and no inclination to make room. The Territorial system is a declaration that all these tropical acquisitions are intended for statehood and their people for citizenship and a voice in the politics and control of this country. As, all told, they number 15,000,000, with 3,000,000 of voters, the | threat to make them citizens is as menacing to our welfare as holding them as colonies is to theirs. We would like to know the mind of our returned volun- teers as to making full American citizens of the Fili- pinos. As far as it has been expressed they are ;shown to be against it. To run away from a colonial policy and into ulti- mate statehood is a mere exchange of the frying-pan for the fire. If those tropical people are fit for ulti- mate citizenship in the United States they are fit for ultimate independence, and should have it. not need their help as citizens of this country. They bring nothing into such a partnership that is of profit or importance to us. As our race cannot thrive where they do, the institutions we have created will be exported and expected to flourish without our presence to watch and tend them. The American people do not want fellow citizenship with those tropical races, and, not wanting it, they know that the way to prevent it is to prevent the first step toward it. That step is the proposed Ter- ritorial organization, which should be resisted by every man who does not wish American citizenship to be cheapened, diluted and polluted.

For thirty-four years, under, I think, twelve different administrations of vari- ous political stripe, successive boards of directors, comprising among their num- ber such names as Governor Perkins, Judge John Stanly, Senator McLougall, J. Mora Moss; Governor Haight, John P. Rankin, Rev. J. A. Benton, Colonel John Hays, Judge John Garber, A. J. Raliston, John T. Houghton, D. H. Randolph, T. L. Barker, E. J.

The result has been that the institution |15 the pride of the State; that it reputa- | tion among institutions of its kind in the | United States is unrivaled, and that its | fame has reached Europe, where it oc- | cupies a front rank among similar insti- tutions in England, France and Germany.

HE opinions of Admiral Dewey about the war in the Philippines, as recently reported by the London Daily News, and up to the time of this writing not denied by the ad- { miral, are of the highest interest and im- | portance. The News correspondent asked if the Philippines were likely to be paci- fied soon. He says that the admiral re- plied: “I have the question of the Philippines | more at heart than has any other Ameri- | can, because I know the Filipinos inti- mately, and they know I am thelr friend. | The recent insurrection is the fruit of the | anarchy which has so long reigned in the | islands, but the insurgents will have to submit themselves to the law, after being | accustomed to no law at all. I believe and affirm, nevertheless, that the Philippine Question Wil B very/ Shortly SOIver “The Filipinos are capable of governing hemselves; they have all quafiflcatlons or it. It is a question of time, but the only way to settle the insurrection and assure prosperity to the archipelago is to concede self-government to the inhabi- tants. That would be a solution of many questions, and would satisfy all, especi- ally the Filipinos, who believe themselves worthy of it, and are so. “1 have never been in favor of violence toward the Filipinos. The islands are at this moment blockaded by a ficet, and state things should cease. I should like to see autonomy first conced- ed, and then annexation might be talked about. This is my opinion. 1 should like to see violence at once put a stop to, According to my view, the concession of seif-government ought to be the most 1d most logical solution.’ are the admiral's opinions and them, they afford in e hope that ppine question will soon be They are the identical opinions that the extreme expansionists have ridi- culed and berated. ————— ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
