The committee has just held at Philadelphia a’ meeting at which it was announced that communica- | tions have been received from the Secretary of State e in the Union with the exception of | Arkansas, and that there is a strong sentiment, par- | ticularly in the Western States, in favor of the amend- | ment. 1 Upon much encouraged it decided to request all the States | to send delegates to a general conference to be held in Philadelphia next spring to devise ways and means for br g the issue to a conclusion. It is expected the conference will decide upon a plan of action which will commend itself to the people as a vhole, and that as a result there will be immediate tion thereafter in the direction of the desired amendmer Just why there should be a conference on the sub- ject is not clear. All the States have Representa- tives in Congress, and these are just as well fitted to discuss and determine a plan cf action as any other delegates could be. In the end the matter will have to be submitted to Congress, and it would be just as well to urge action upon that body this winter as to wait for the conference next spring. The whole question has been thoroughly discussed throughout thegcountry and the people are familiar with the causes which render the change necessary for the national welfare. There have been deadlocks or worse in Senatorial clections in Legislatures in every portion of the Union from Delaware to Cali- fornia. It is time to put an end to them and to-re- move from the State Legislatures these fruitful sources of corruption and disturbance. It not in- frequently happens that business of great impogtance to a State is set aside because of the struggles over a Senatorial election. Under such circumstances a | conference on the subject is hardly necessary. It will | of course do no harm, but it is safe to say that the Senator or Representative who will not vote for sub- | mitting the amendment to the States at once will of every Sta | The whole is summed up by one of the of the American constitution, and from a mere mone- [ten by the gallant Colonel Hawkins, who lost his |of a | tions, and he is a fighter when he gets started. | vaal. | i g o : | the Nile.

HEN one meets with politicians, as the Presi- dent does on his tours over the country, noth- ing is easier than to provoke, or induce, what seems to be a unanimous and enthusiastic indorse- ment of imperialism. When the President made his Pittsburg speech to the returned volunteers of the Tenth Pennsylvania the report of the occasion entirely warranted the conclu- sion that the soldiers and the people were as one in favor of forcible annexation of the Filipinos. Now comes the Pittsburg Post with a large number of signed and authentic interviews with the officers and members of the regiment in which opinions in direct antagonism to the President’s speech are freely stated. ! taff officers, who says: “The regiment sympathized with the na- tives as fighting for a liberty as dear to them as is the American’s to him. The Tenth boys look upon for- cible annexation of the islands as foreign to the ideals tary point of view as promising only aggrandizement | to a few rich syndicates and heavier taxes to the la- borer because of the huge military force necessary to hold them.” Among the interviews is a letter writ- | life in the poison climate of the islands, in which he says that “any attempt to hold the islands as colo- nies is a menace to American institutions, and they are not worth the cost of conquest.” Then follow in- terviews with the majors, quartermaster, adjutant, six captains, five lieutenants and several hundred pri- vates, all of whom express the same opinion. Many of the privates say: “Of course we obeyed orders and fought, but what for? Those natives have as| much right to liberty as we have.” We have not the space to copy all of these very in- | teresting and significant interviews. When it is re- membered that they are from a.majority of the staff and line of a regiment which the President made a | long journey to welcome, and which he flattered by the most heroic ascriptions, the politicians may be led to revise their frequent statement that the coun- try is unanimously imperiaiist. An American can hardly imagine a more serious situation for a brave and obedient soldier than the exposure of his own life to kill others whom he regards as right and patriotic in fighting for their liberty to govern them- elves and the freedom of the soil on which they were born. Another recent expression that may interest t!w‘ imperialist politicians of both parties is the passage | resolution in the national session of the W. C. T. U. denouncing the war on the Filipinos. The wives and mothers and women composing the W. C. T. U. are of the thoughtful class of society. They are women who would encourage war in a cause which they believed to be righteous, and when they denounce this as unrighteous it means thing. We think that the people everywhere should know the facts about these expressions of opinion. With a large percentage of returned volunteers and the largest women's organization in the Union giving free expression to such views there must soon be an abatement in what has seemed to many as a mad | rush into imperialism and all the cost and entangle- | ments which it implies. As the necessity of defend- | ing England in a like,policy has already appeared, | one may reasonably expect the Tenth Pennsylvania and the W. C. T. U. will soon receive many recruits. e e e While the Britons and the Boers are fighting to decide which shall own South Africa it may occur.to the blacks to take a hand in the matter and resume | possession of the country themselves. In_the South ican woodpile there is a negro of large propor- some- BRITISH POWER ON TRIAL. ‘ General Buller sent a dispatch to Sir | We | George Stewart White commanding that offi- | Transvaal until Buller himself arrived with his army | cer to make no forward movement on the | corps he probably did not foresee that the question of [ advance or retreat was not to be leit to the option of ‘ General White.

In addition to the strain of the situation at the | front, the British public have -<another cause of ! anxiety in the reports that come of the sentiment oi% the nations of Continental Europe regarding the war. The hostility shown to ‘the United States at the out- break of the war with Spain was slight in comparison with what has been expressed toward the British, | and there have even been rumors that the powers would demand of Great Britain a statement of her | intentions as to the whole African continent, thus in- | cluding the Egyptian question with that of the Trans- While it is not at all likely an alliance against Great Britain can be formed so long as that power | remains formidable, it is within the limits of proba- | bility that a serious reverse in South Africa might tempt the Russians and the Germans to be bolder in their aggressions in China and the French more en- | terprising in pushing their African territory toward | made preparations for war on a scale calculated to| warn Europe as well as to crush the Boers. | The task they have before them ‘is the greatest the British have had to enter upon since the Napoleonic wars, Their statesmen and their military leaders | force the fighting and put an end to the conflict as speedily as possible. No less than eighty steamships | of the first class have been drawn into the service .of | the Government, and as soon as the war broke out | it was announced that arrangements had been made | to dispatch six troopships daily from 'Sou'thamptoui for South Africa. It was calculated at that time that | within a week after General Buller started to the | front there would be upward of 30,000 British soldiers | on the sea speeding after him as fast as steam carry them. 1t is, however, a far cry from Southampton to the field of action. It remains to be seen whether the British forces now in South Africa can hold their own-or even save themselves from a crushing defeat before the reinforcements arrive. In the meantime, to be prepared for the worst, the whole naval strength of the empire is being made ready for any emergency | that may happen. Great Britain is, in fact, making a demonstration in forge throughout the whole length of her far-flung battle line from Gibraltar to China. Her statesmen know that her foes are watching every | move, and that unless they end this war quickly they | may have more wars to wage before it ends. can | One of the notable features of I_h: speeches made by the President in his tour through the Mississippi hardly be persuaded to do so by anything a con- ference can say or do.

RESIDENT WHEELER'S address on the p occasion of his installation as president of the * Wniversity of California was in the nature of a declaration of the policy he would pursue in the ad- ministration of his office. It is a policy of progress, improvement and expansion. The words in which it was set forth are strong and forceful and will inspire as well as gladden all who desire to see the univer- sity become one of the foremost seats of learning in the United States. The president began by directing attention to the existing deficiencies and needs of the institution. “As it were in a night,” he said, “a college has grown here into the dimensions of a university. A torrent-influx of students has overwhelmed and burst the barriers of organization, equipment, funds and shelter. A mass of rapidly developing profes- sional schools, drawn beneath the name and aegis of the university, have become attached to its organiza- tion by bonds of varying strength, but all ill-tested and uncertainly set. The schools of the State have been recently brought into a close connection with the university, a connection which is still tentative, but which looks toward a fine unity of action, toward a common aim. To intensify the stress and confusion these things have happened at a period when through- out the land the whole mechanism of university edu- cation is in process of readjustment and of adaptation to larger work. Shifting, experiment and change are on every hand; nowhere have settled forms been reached.” As a result of this rapid growth the university has outstripped its buildings and equipments. Among the demands which the president notes as of greatest urgency is an enlargement of the library. “In their olation from the Eastern storehouses of learning,” said he, “our scholars require and deserve more than ordinary resources of this kind.” As a further argu- ment and an inducement for the upbuilding of the library he added: “We are tangent to the domain of the farthest world-half, of which the Western world knows yet but little, but of which it will called upon in the coming centuries to know much. Here on the borderland, as in Alexandria of old, must be garnered the accumulated lore of the East as well as the West.” ? Thus far the argument of the president had been mainly for scholarship and might have been made by a man who considers that to be the chief object of university life, but from that point he passed rapidly to a consideration of the things needed to make the university a center of intellectual activity directed to the advancement of California in all lines of progress. The school of commerce, the school of mining en- gineering and the school of agriculture all engage the interest of the new president, and in no part of | his address was he more earnest or more hopeful than in speaking of them and the work expected of them. In a striking passage the speaker described the im- portance of the problem of forest preservation and the maintenance of the water supply of the State, and included that problem among those which the uni- versity will help the people to solve. “A school of forestry,” he said, “is an earnest and instant need The waters that sent forth the Oregon deserve ‘a school of naval engineering. The attention of the National Government, which now has a Pacific as well ‘as an Atlantic to care for, should be directed toward this need. But what it does can best be done in co-operation with the university as an already es- tablished institution and through development and differentiation of the existing courses.” It will be seen that President Wheeler proposes to make the university a part of every movement in the progress of the State from scholarship to money- making. The whole scope of our higher activities, material as well as intellectual, is included within the domain of the field which the university is to culti- vate. Lord Bacon's saying, “All wisdom is my proy- ince,” is to be fulfilled at Berkeley. The university is to be a living thing,.a vital part of the common- wealth, with sympathy for all the enterprises and hopes of its people. 0 THE THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. ROSPERITY is the theme of President Mec- Kinley's proclamation fixing Thursday, No- vember 30, as the day for the annual thanks- giving of the people: It will also be thé theme on which most of the sermons of the day will be preached, for it is the dominant feature of our na- tional life. The President has well said: “Seldom has this nation had greater cause for profound thanksgiving. No great pestilence has invaded our shores. Liberal employment waits upon labor. rewarded the efforts of the husbandman. Increased comforts have come to the home. The national finances have been strengthened and public credit has been sustained and made firmer. In all branches of industry and trade there has been an unequaled degree of prosperity, while there has been a steady gain in the moral and educational growth of our na- tional character. Churches and schools have flour- ished. American patriotism has been exalted. Those such signal success have been in a large degree spared from disaster and disease. An honorable peace has been ratified with a foreign nation with which we were at war, and we are now at friendly relations with every power on earth.” All that is thus set forth in reference to the con- dition of our own country is true, and it is to be hoped the President’s further predictions of the speedy return of healthy industrial conditions in Cuba, prosperity in storm-stricken Porto Rico and peace in the Phil-, ippines will be fulfilled. It is only in these islands that any menace to our continued peace exists, and none would exist there if the people .of the islands were assured of the goad purposes of the United States. So long as the Filipinos have reason to dis- trust our promises, or the Cubans to fear the forcible annexation of their country to the United States, they will of course hesitate to join us in the thanksgiving to which the President invites them. Such vexatious problems as confront us, however, are slight in comparison to the vast benefits we en- joy. No land on earth is so blessed as ours in all that makes up the welfare of humanity. We are ad- vancing in all lines of endeavor and are at peace with all the world save the inhabitants of a group of re- mcte islands who are too weak to threaten us with any danger. We are free from the burdens of mili- tary armaments that oppress the taxpayers of other countries, and we have only to go in the path the fathers of the republic marked out for us in order to continde at peace. Every natural condition of the | year is advantageous to us and the prospects of the future are bright. We have good reason to give thanks this year, and it will be our own fault if we do. not have equally good in the year to come. be* Abundant crops have SWORD FOR ANOTHER HERO OF MANILA| A Beautiful Tiffany Sword for Brigadier General Funston--Gift of the People of Kansas. 3 R Patdi their idol and 3 purpose. ~ y) Aq uojsun] |Ridugp 1o1pobig 0] PIJUISIIL wesT -, 1Mo pasaisni 61 Juaunpr Fus pyum vorpssed MR Py U] sy e Eritwen= sosuvy o dood e UG A S EREENE — S T & Y IFFANY & CO. of New York have completed and shipped to the Topeka Capital a beautiful presentation sword, the gift of the people of Kansas to distinguished hero, Brigadier General Frederick Funston.
