Speaking of the Repub- | lican ratification meeting he said: “I am sorry for my Republican friends. * * * Why, the gentle- men who appeared before you are fighting wars in the Philippines, although Major Geary met but few | of them over there.” The Mayor evidently proposes to claim not only all civic virtue but all national patriotism for what he | calls “a new Democracy.” Begging for Republican yet feels strong enough to utter the charge that Re- publicans were not patriotic enough to enlist under their country’s flag in the Spanish war. He is not | sure that even some of them went to the Philippines, for “Major Geary did not find many of them over | there.” According to the Mayor the Republicans, for | whose votes he hopes, are without civic pride and are | void of The First and Eighth regiments | of the C: ia National Guard were composed of | his new Democracy, according to his view, and Re- refused to heed the call of their country It stretches one’s credulity to believe that ed unpatriotic cowards by the Mayor of this city will indorse his characteri- | zation of them by giving him a single Republican vote.

They agreed in one thing—that Republican votes are neces- sary to elect them, and therefore advised Republicans to snub their own ticket.

D scordant notes. the occasions on EBATES in both houses of Parliament on the Queen’s speech show there will be little or no opposition to any measures the Government take to overwhelm the Boers and establish British sovereignty throughout South Africa. Dil- | lon’s motion to amend the address of the Commons to the Queen by a request that the controversy be submitted to arbitration was defeated by a vote of 322 to 54, the minority being composed mainly of Irish members and a few extreme radicals like Labouchere. The Liberals, from whom a stronger opposition might have been expected, contented themselves with declarations that peace might have been preserved had the Ministry been less aggressive and more just | in dealing with the Boers. Sir Henry Campbell- | Bannerman, for example, who holds the position of | leader of the opposition, declared: “The Government is engaged in a game of bluff which is not a worthy The raising of the suzerainty question was utterly unnecessary and did | more than anything else to remove all chance of suc- | cess of the negotiations.” Nevertheless Sir Henry went on to say: ‘“Actual hostilities have commenced, and an active aggression has been committed, which it is the plain duty of our Ministers, of Parliament and of the people to resist. There will be no disposition on the part of this House to place any obstacle in the way of granting such supplies and such powers to the crown as may be necessary to secure the rapid and effective prosecution of a war commenced to vindicate our rights. The campaign should be vig- orously and promptly prosecuted, and nothing neces- sary for that purpose should be refused by the House | of Commons.” ‘When the leaders of the opposition speak in that strain it is clear the Government is to have a free hand in carrying on the war. Whatever may be re- may | one for a great country like this. votes, knowing that they have twice elected him, he | show a deliberate purpose to coin it into po- | spirit has taken hold of the nation and Parliament reflects the popular passions and acts upon them. Weak as the minority is in Parliament, it managed through its orators to score several times in the de- bates on the address, and some of the words of the opponents of this latest movement for empire and aggression will have a wide influence in forming | public opinion outside of Great Britain. Dillon’s | plea for international arbitration, for example, is in | line with the growing sentiment of the civilized world, and there will be a general agreement with the statement of Labouchere that if there had been I no Cecil Rhodes or if Salisbury had been in the | Colonial Office there would have been mno war. “There is too much stock exchange about the whole | business,” said Labouchere. It would be difficult ito express more truth on the subject in as terse a | phrase. The debate followed in the Lords the course taken |in the Commons. There is no radical party in the | Lords, and as the Liberals thére made no opposition | to the Conservatives the Ministry had an easy task. | Lord Kimberley, speaking for the Liberals, con- tented himself with condemning the manner in which the Government had carried on the negotiations, but concluded that since war had come his party would not oppose the Ministry in prosecuting it. Thus the peace party in Great Britain appears to have vanished utterly. Cecil Rhodes, Chamberlain and their supporters have had their way. They have flung against the Boers the whole weight of the British empire, and now exult in the prospect of making themselves masters of the gold mines of the Transvaal by destroying the independence of the re- public. B About the only recent event in California which has been given much attention in the East was the use of wine to fight the forest fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains. They seem to be very proud on the At- lantic coast over the fact that they are citizens of a country that has a State so rich the people can fight fire with claret, and we may yet hear it is the cus- tom in some parts of California to sprinkle lawns with it. MORE RESTRICTION. HE Providence (R. I.) Journal, in commenting T upon the British policy in South Africa, re- | bukes the expression of American sympathy | with the Boers. It says: “Whatever may be the | final issue between Great Britain and the Transvaal, there can be no doubt of the duty of the United States in the matter. That duty is to preserve abso- lute neutrality. The expressions of sympathy with the Boers which some injudicious persons are put- ting forth will breed rather than avert trouble. As for the petitions sent to Victoria and Lord Salis- bury, they are at once futile and impertinent. It is a very good rule to mind one’s own business.” Other | organs of American imperialism hold forth in the same strain and treat all expressions of Amcric:n! sympathy with the Dutch republic as unpatriotic! | They refer with contempt to the liberty-loving Boers, brand them as unfit for seli-government and as rep- resenting the civilization of the seventeenth century, and therefore with no rights deserving the respect of the civilization of the nineteenth century. The Army and Navy Journal, the organ of the two | arms of military service in the United States, says: “The best interests of South Africa require the suc- | cess of the English in the present controversy, and we should not put ourselves in the false position of aiding the’ cause of a people who, whatever may be their abstract rights of independence, have no claim upon our sympathies as a liberal and progressive people.” All this means that Americans must accept the British view of the controversy and must give no expression to their sympathy with a brave people, only two hundred thousand strong, who are under arms in defense of their independence and right to self-government in a territory which their courag:l conquered from the wilderness, and their love of liberty dedicated to freedom. James G. Blaine said: ‘“‘Nothing is more danger- ous than the forced transfer of territory carrying with it an indignant and hostile population, and nothing but a necessity proven before the world can justify it. It is not a case in which the power desiring the territory can be accepted a safe or impartial judge.” England has always claimed to be the sole judge of the propriety of her aggressions. She | stood in that attitude to our Revolutionary fore- | fathers, whom she forced into revolt by denying to them the rights of Englishmen under the British | constitution. Her feeling at that time was long | after expressed by Robert Southey in his “Life of Nelson.” Southey was a lad of ten when our Revolution closed, yet in his maturity he wrote in the life of the hero of Trafalgar that: “The Ameri- can colonists had broken the ties of blood and lan- guage and acquired the independence which they had been provoked to claim, unhappily for themselves, before they were fit for it” Now the organs of American imperialism, in a spirit that may be called | insolent, demand that American citizens concur in | the British view of the issue with a young republic. | though it is exactly the same that England held toward our ancestors. Contrary to the wise rule es- tablished by Mr. Blaine, she sets herself up as the sole judge in the matter. But what disquiets and sad- dens an American is the order issued to our people to hush their expressions of sympathy with their fellow republicans, the Boers. Heretofore we were the only nation on earth to which the weak could turn for sympathy in their battle against the strong. When the “United Irish- men,” the combined force of Catholic and Protestant Ireland which Grattan had joined to fight for liberty, was in the midst of the struggle of 1798, Thomas Jefferson at an official dinner gave the toast, “Suc- cess to the United Irishmen.” That toast expressed American sentiment for all struggling people willing | to offer their lives for independence and self govern- | ment. Hitherto its expression has been unchecked | and unrebuked. It has been the cause of the ad- | as | vance of republican institutions everywhere. In its ! light absolutism has been transformed into constitu- tional monarchy in every country in Europe except | Russia and Turkey, and in them all the people have acquired elective voice in legislation. Since Eng- land resisted our forefathers and denounced them as unfit for the independence to which they aspired thirty republics have arisen in the world in which, in the language of Mr. Blaine, “the right of the people to govern themselves, the fundamental basis of re- publican institutions,” is recognized. | England is in battle array, ready to wuse her mighty power to efface two of these republics, and we, in whose example they were founded, are com- | manded to give our sympathy to the oppressor and withhold it from the oppressed. | Surely we have sadly changed since we gave to the | world our reasons for declaring the Spanish war. | The shortest and surest road to municipal progress !and reform is by the practice of straight politics in . | quired of men, money, ships or arms will be fur- | the support of the straight Republican ticket. McKinley: “Be careful, admiral, and don’t ask Alger to pass the beef. He's touchy on that subject.” —St. Louis Republic. MARCONI AND WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Success of The Call-Herald in Using the New System Excites All Kinds of Newspaper Comment. The Call-Herald success in far outstripping all newspaper rivals by giving the earliest and most accurate bulletins on the Columbia-Shamrock yacht race by means of special wireless telegraph service has attracted the attention of the newsgathering world, Marconi and his system and its uses and advantages are at present subjects of all sorts of comments. Below will be found some of the ex- ns of opinion gathered from newspapers in different sections of the ry: . eie Dolbear Will Miss the Laurels. San Diego Tribune. Professor Dolbear says he discovered wireless telegraphy before Marconi. Then he has been strangely backward in demonstrating the practicability of his in- vention. For the present it is probable that the young ltalian need not fear that Dolbear will get any part of his laurels. . v e One of the Greatest Inventions of the Age. Calaveras Prospect. Marconl’s system of wireless telegraphy is no longer a vague theory, but will now take {ts place at the head of the greatest inventions of the age. S Marconi and Dolbear. Columbus Press Post. Though Professor A. E. Dolbear of Tuft's (Mass.) College is an Ohifo man— he is an alumnus of Ohio Wesleyan—his claim that he discovered and secured patents covering the processes of wireless telegraphy years ago, and that Signor Marconl is infringing on his rights, is not likely to be championed largely in the Buckeye State nor anywhere else. Granting that what he claims is true, his failure to see how it might be applied and to push it is sufficient to lose for him all the credit to which the discovery would in itself entitle him. Marconi is really discovereing wireless telegraphy to the world that has been walting to use it, even though Dolbear knew the principles involved and tested them to his own satisfaction years ago. The American Indians might with as good right as Dol- bear has claim that they, and not Columbus, were the real discoverers of the Western Hemisphere. They were here first. SO ‘Wireless Telegraphy. Philadelphia Times. Experiments in wireless telegraphy made during the International yacht races appear to justify some general conclusions with regard to the usefulness of this mode of electric communication. Marconi, who may be considered the inventor of the practical system thus far developed, has himself directed the transmission of dispatches between a steamer accompanying the yachts at sea and a station at one of the lighthouses on shore, whence they were again trans- mitted to New York. It is conceded, of course, that this aerial telegraphy can- not, for varlous reasons, supplant ‘that by wires and cables: but the fact that intelligible messages can’be thus transmitted at all, with reasonable directness and_accuracy, is in itself important. Many circumstances can be imagined under which this system would be valuable where wires or cables do not exist, as between ships at sea or between a ship off shore and the land, or where communication by wire or cable has been interrupted. The most obvious limitation of the system in its present develop- ment s in the lack of privacy. A message sent from one station might be picked up at any number of other stations. But it is ‘quite conceivable that this may be overcome by future invention, the experiments already made having already indicated to inventors the direction in which they are to work. The military uses of wireless telegraphy are somewhat problematical. In the navy, as among scattered vessels of a squadron on a cruise, its adaptability ap- pears less doubtful. Thus far the invention has not passed the stage of curious experiment. In communicating between points that are or can be connected by a metallic conductor, nothing is iikely to be gained from the new system. et so much has been done with it in so short a time that it would be foolish to set a limit upon its possible development. « s The Call and Wireless Telegraphy. 3 Healdsburg Tribune. One of the greatest, If not the greatest, discovery of the waning days of the nineteenth century 1s the wireless telegraph. The use of wireless telegraphy in the evolutions of the English fieet in a great measure proves its efficacy. Dis- patches were sent a distance of sixty miles with apparent ease, and the reporting of the international yacht races, Afteen miles at sea, the connection with land wires and reporting of the movements of the contesting vessels a distance of 3000 miles and posting them on the bulletin boards of the San Francisco Call in three minutes after the events transpired, Is truly astonishing. The scientific question involved is, Is the transmission of dispatches by wireless telegraphy due to the passage of the electric current through earth or air, or is it due to the vibration of ether waves? Hertz has given us ether waves millions of miles long, and 400,000,000,000 of vibrations for dull red light. The uses to which wireless telegraphy can be put are practically unlimited. The cutting of land wires, either in advance or in the rear of an advancing army, would be of little effect, as a communication could be held over the heads of the opposing armies. There is also another question involved. Would not the erection of a pole and receiver at any point within a limited distance also receive the dispatches intended for other ears, thus doing away with the secrecy of the telegraph? Marconi, the Italian inventor whose system is being used, is a personal attendant on the yacht races, and will at their conclusion conduct a serfes of experiments for our Government. At present we can but conjecture the ultimate of the system. MORE PRAISE FOR THE “HOME STUDY CIRCLE ’ | | | | | Rev. John A. B. Wilson Says the Course Has Been Selectep‘ With Great Good Sense.
