JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. ARLIAMENT being out of session and the Prime Minister in retirement nursing the weak- | ness of old age, Joseph Chamberlain, though g the comparatively subordinate office of Sec- ate for the Colonies, seems to be virtually the British Government. His is the brain that devises the policy of the empire at the danger point in the | Transvaal, and it is his voice that gives the commands hich set all the arsenals and the navy-yards of the empire to working day and night, hurries troops across the occan, and, ile professing in public a desire for ps warlike in every tone. There have been many extraordinary careers in the | history of parliamentary Government in Great Brit- | ain, but hardly any that is more strange than that oi | the all-powerful Colonial Minister. Something like | fifty years ago the son of a rich Londoner was | sent by his father to Birmingham to engage in the | work of a manufacturer. He grew up to be a suc- | cessful business man, but his chief interest was in politi; He began as a republican, and at one time joined in a movement to start an agitation for the retary of S w e, sounds ent sovereign. In those days he was one of the men | whom the Conservatives of Great Britain, the sup- porters of the crown and the church, regarded with | the utmost detestation. They mocked at him, they sneered at him. They called him “Brummagem Joe,” | the “Capital 1,” the “Petty Jack Cade,” and a dozen other things. “I am the worst abused man in Eng- land,” he said on one occasion, and he had good rea- | son to say it. One statesman of the time of his early career put a different construction upon his character and his conduct. No man did Chamberlain more severely attack in those days than Disraeli, but that cynical old politician refused to take him seriously. “He wishes to be a Duke,” said Disraeli, and dismissed him with 4 sneer. The later career of the radical leader of Birmingham OLONEL BRYAN seems to appreciate the | wn condition of his/fences in the South. | time of Gladstone’s home rule bill for Ireland, and members of the party in that | ever since then has become more and more a Tory. | in the man than there is in the office. {and has almost overshadowed the | mittee, the objection would be overcome and that the | prosperity of the country if the Senate should inter- | and the urgency of the need of settling the question goes far to confirm the satirical estimate put upon the sincerity of his republicanism by the Tory leader.

T a meeting last May the Chamber of Com- erce of this cit s of resolutions sts of the whole country, increased employment for our people, a adopted a declaring that whereas the inter r home demand for the products of our farms, forests and our our mines, ot ictories, the rein- forcement 1 of our navy, the enlargement of foreign | for our surplus products, the reduction in tes of acean transportation, would all be promoted by the restoration of our merchant marine in its for- the ¢ increasing opportunities for commercial ex- wnsion and the employment of a larger shipping mer position on the seas of the world; and pa upon the Pacific, for the transportation of our grow- ing exports, emphasizes the need of establishing and 1staining an American merchant marine equal to the needs of our foreign commerce; therefore, it is the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce of San Fran- cisco that it is the duty of the Congress of the United States at the earliest day possible to enact legislation to secure restoration on the lines recently reported favorably to both branches of Congress by the Com- mittee on Commerce on the part of the Senate, and the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries on the part of the House. Since the adoption of the resolutions the Chamber s not been inactive. It procured the introduction the issue to the attention of the Trans-Mississippi ess at Wichita and urged it with such success | that the congress adopted resolutions in line with those of the Chamber itself, and is now making further efforts to impress upon the National Congress thic urgent need of promp: and effectlve legislation for the upbuilding of our shipping industries. It is gratifying to note the activity of our Chamber of Commerce in this important work. The Pacific Coast has as much to hope for from the upbuilding of the merchant marine of the nation as any other section. In fact it has more to look forward to, for the Atlantic Ocean commerce is now well supplied with shipping and any new sl launched upon its waters by Americans will have a strong competition to encounter in the ioreign chips, but the commerce of the Pacific is an expanding one. The shipping ade- quate for the trade of to-day will fall far short of the demand of the trade that is to be within a few The question is whether the United States shall furnish the additional tonnage need for the grow- ing trade, or whether Europe is to be permitted to | do it This issue is In fact the most pressing that will come beiore Congress with the sole exception of that of | gurrency reform. It has been under consideration a long time and there should be no further delay in dealing with it. vears, THE SENATE AND CURRENCY REFORM 3ROM reports that come to us from the East 1t | I:‘ ppears there is some doubt whether the Senate will enact any important measure of currency reform at the coming session of Congress. The Phil- adelphia Record claims to have accurate inside | information that the Republican committees oi the | House and the Senate which have been considering the matter cannot agree upon a definite scheme of | legislation. On the other hand, Congressman Bab- cock of Wisconsin, a member of the committee, is quoted by the Times-Herald of Chicago as saying that e the Senate Committee has not yet con- curred with the bill proposed by the House Com- w bill is likely to pass both houses. The measure agreed upon by the House committee is not radical and it would be a severe setback to the pose to prevent its enactment. The Senators can hardly fail to recognize the importance of the issuc at this session. It i3 time to take the finances of the nation out of politics and to establish our monetary system on the gold basis beyond dispute. Upon what ground the opponents of currency re- form expect the Senate to defeat the will of the peo- ple has not been made known. That the hope is a forlorn one is clear. The administration is pledged to reform the monetary system and will urge it upon Congress. The great mass of the people favor it, and the House is sure to pass a currency bill and send it to the Senate «early in the session. There will doubtless be a hard fight against it, but as there is not only a good Republican majority in the Senate but several sound money Democrats, like Lindsay of Kentucky and Caffery of Louisiana, to vote for it, its passage seems fairly well assured, despite the rumors to the contrary. So it appears aiter all that the interests of the Out- landers in the Transvaal are the last concern of Great Britain. The Boers are to be whipped because they are suspected by the British of plotting future evil. Perhaps the recent comment of a British statesman that England is a pirate nation was correct. The evidence that the Germans covet Samoa is a proof of the iniquity of the Kaiser and his peopla. It is not rightecus to covet anything except the Phil- THOME STUDY | popularity and patronage.

Pacific Rural Press. As foreshadowed in last week’'s Paclfic Rural Press, the State Fair this year has preved exceptionally great in point of 1t is described from Sacramento as the most largely attended and successful fair the capital city has ever known. It is stated that the recelpts exclustve of the pool privilege, amount to close on to $28,000, as against $14,706 last year. The soclety will realize $10,000 over expenses. This result is largely due to the most diligent and well planned effort made by the management thie year to popularize the exposition in every possible way and to the fact that Sucramento was well uroused to the ad- vantage which the fairs are to the city interests. It is very important to Sac: ramento that such a record is being made and it will make its mark, no doubt, upon future legislation. The management of the society also did very wisely in en- listing the interest and good will of local journals and in furnishing avallable news 1o all avenues of publication. Secretary Shields has certainly won his spurs in this contest and should be duly honored. ‘We are well aware that some of the attractions at the fair were anything but agricultural, but they seemed to be neces- sary to win popular interest, and, hav ing this, the exhibitors of sirictly ag cultural excellence were indirectly adva: taged by being able to reach wide assem- blages. Make the fair more popular and It will draw more exhibitors of the better sort. — Don’t Repeal the Appropriation. Oakland Tribune. The proposition to have the Legislature if 1t meets in extra session pass a meas- | ure repealing the $130,000 appropriation | for Callfornia’s exhibit at the Paris Ex- osition is sheer nonsense. Contracts ave been let and the commission has ractically completed its arrangements or the show, so an attempt to undo everything now would cost us almost as | much as the sum set aside, with the dl ference, however, that we would get ab- | solutely nothing iIn return, whereas if everything runs on the lines originally | mapped out the State will reap benefits worth many times the money to be ex- pended. —_———— Examiner on the Toboggan.
