Dr. Cleveland 1e public in office, faithfully and respect- just as grand a grand old man as Grand dritton. He sees, with rare keenness, the alsity of Mr. Phelan’s charter issue. He sees that Mr. Phelan’s attitude at once raises the issue that the charter and the national Democratic platform are ar onistic, and that a candidate. cannot stand on both. He sees behind all this Mr. Phelan’s purpose to use the charter as a fetish to secure his present rmbition, and ultimately to use Democratic prin- ciples again when it suits his convenience and will further promote his craving for office and power. Therefore Dr. Cleveland bluntly declares that there is no separate and distinct charter issue at all; that the charter was made by the people, is the funda- al law of the city and can only be changed by the people. This being the case, the party conven- tions were held to nominate party candidates to the offices necessary to the administration of the char- ter. Mr. Phelan, therefore, by repudiating the prin- ciples of the party in whose name he was nominated, has abandoned the solid ground of party principle and has created an airy, fairy pathway to office which he calls “the charter issue.” Here is a complete ex- posure, from the most respectable Democratic sources, of the straw issue set up by Mr. Phelan. He pretends to go forth to fight “treason to the charter.” These Democrats say this is to conceal his own treason to his party principles. They declare treason to the charter to be non-existent, imaginary, while Phelan’s treason to his party is real and actual. There seems to be no answer to the logic of their rosition and no offset to the clearness of their state- ment of it. As an apostate to his party, it is their function to administer the needed discipline to him. Old Man men As the creator of a false issue and attempting to reach | office on it, he seems to stand thoroughly exposed | by the men who have heretofore supported him, have foregathered with him in party conventicles and cught to know.him best. In his speech in the Thir~ th Assembly District, the 24th inst, Mr. Phelan caid: “I don’t know what has become of your plat- form since I was here last. You then elevated your candidates on a pedestal; now they have to stand on the floor.” It doubtless occurred to the real Demo- crats present that Mr. Phelan has also lost his plat- form since he was there last, and had no right to rebuke them for making him stand on the floor.

Already the usual signs appear that tell of the need manufa of a tured appeal to American and British | sentiment to hold it together as one in support of this destruction of republics. In London it is re- ported that the Boers misuse and disregard a flag of truce; that they hold up their hands to surrender and whes. the British ground arms shoot them; that the B h surgeons report that the Boers are using dumdum bullets. These are familiar devices. They have been in use by us in the Philippines for eight months. Our people have read all such reports and their effect has been estimated in advance of their publication. It is charged through censored sources s used the same tactics, and some among us have not been slow to seize the advantage of making him say what they please, so as to appeal to sentiment at home. But let no one forget that the Boers have needed to use no such device. They know that at the Peace | Conference at The Hague, on the soil of their an- | cestors, when the Continental powers wanted to abolish the dumdum bullet, England defeated the proposition and the United States supported her. If England use the dumdum the Boer makes no com- plaint. Being aware that England has them and de- feated their abolition, he has some also.

He is too young to go to prison and too old in some things to be permitted at large. I:oi the State, in a report prepared by G. F. Allardt and issued by the Anti-Debris Associa- tion of the four counties of Sacramento Valley, it | appears the whole controversy between'the land- owners of the valley and the hydraulic miners presents THE DEBRIS PROELEM AGAIN. ROM the description given of the debris dams is | likely to be reopened. Mr. Allardt says: “The sys- | tem of impounding works as now carried on can | afford no protection to the valley interests; it is a | menace, a delusion and a snare. In my judgment permanent relief and safety can be secured only by | the absolute and unconditional prohibition of hy- draulic mining.” | How far the Anti-Debris Association indorses that sweeping statement is not clear. In issuing the re- | port the association, through its secretary, Robert Cosner, contents itself with inviting an examination | of the report, which it declares shows the insuffi- | ciency of the dams constructed under the supervision | of the California Debris Commission. According to the report the impounding works | authorized and accepted by the commission are, with | few and unimportant exceptions, dams or barriers | constructed across gorges or canyons which have heretofore served as dumping places for hydraulic | mines. A list classified according to the material used in the construction gives a total of 251 struc- wres, of which only 27 are constructed of durable material—that is, stone or earth—the remainder being constructed either in whole or in part of perishable material, such as logs or brush, and subject to more or less rapid decay. It does not appear from the report that any of the dams show signs of decay or are insufficient at pres- ent. It would seem, therefore, that the expert has argued from his fears rather than from facts. If the dams be o\ the flimsy construction he reports they will of course in time give way, but as they have been approved and accepted by a commission appointed to supervise them, the presumption is they are ade- quate to the needs now and can be repaired and strengthened as future emergencies may require. The controversy is one in which the whole State is interested, and the property at stake on each side is enormous. The solution of the problem requires. the diligent and earnest study of competent experts, but it is not impossible of attainment. It is safe to say the people of California will never accept the con- clusion of Mr. Allardt that hydraulic mining’ must be treasury | The twelve-year-old boy of Oakland who stands | car sentence in one of the State prisons | absolutely and unconditionally prohibited. either will they consent to permit the lands of the valleys and the rivers to be ruined by the debris washed down from hydraulic mines. It is quite possible to construct impounding works which will protect the lowlands and the rivers. If such works have not been provided in the past, then better work must be done in the future. That is all there is to the problem. In the meantime the Debris Commission should take note of the criticism pronounced by the engineer of the Anti-Debris Association and see to it that such improvements as are needed in the dams be made at once. From her utterances concerning Congressman Roberts of Utah it is plain that Miss Helen Gould does not approve of polygamy. The fact, also, that she has no particular love for matrimony appears to be dawning on the many young men who have an eye single to her large fortune THE FIGHT FOR THE COMMISSION- ERSHIP. HILE the merchants and manufacturers of \V California, Oregon and Washington were en- gaged in conference for the purpose of uniting upon a plan for defending the trade interests of the coast, and were seeking a candidate whom all could | agree to recommend to the President for appoint- ment to the vacancy in the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Southern Pacific Company, indif- ferent to the desires of the business men of the coast and careless of the welfare of their industries, | set about with swift and secret energy to forestall ! them. A petition was drawn up by Judge Carpenter, at the instigation of W. F. Herrin, requesting the ap- pointment of N. P. Chipman to the office, and efforts were made in various parts of the State to obtain signatures to it. The trick was exposed by The Call on October 15, and the railroad company at once procured the transmission of the petition to the President by Senator Perkins. That petition is now at Washington, while as yet the request of the con- ference representing the business men of the three States of the coast has not reached him. This trick on the part of the company is but another evidence of the contempt with which Hun- tington regards the people of the Pacific ast and the sneak methods which he has taught his agents ‘hcre to employ in circumventing every movement | designed for the public welfare. The Traffic Asso- ciation of this city, and the organizations of other cities in alliance with it, designed no attack upon any of the rightful interests of the railroad. It was | clearly pointed out that what they ask would be of | advantage to the roads, inasmuch as by protecting the | trade of the coast cities it would in: e the amount | of traffic they supply to the roads. In fact, every | step taken by the merchants of the three States was | | in the direction of harmony of all Pacific Coast in- I‘tcrcst;, and it was expected that in this movement | at any rate the Huntington push would not antago- nize the wishes of the people. It seems to be vain to expect any fair dealing or honesty of purpose on the part of the Southern Pa- cific Company. It is now clear that as soon as it was known a movement would be undertaken to oh- tain a Pacific Coast representative on the Interstate Commerce Commission Huntington determined to defeat it if he could. He adopted his old plan of putting forward a candidate of his own. His agents hurried the scheme through with as much secrecy as possible, and would have achieved a complete sur- ’pri<e had it not been for the watchfulness of The Call. | We have in this case something of a repetition of the tactics of the Southern Pacific in trying to force upon the Legislature the acceptance of Dan Burns to the United States Senate. Either the railroad would | have its own candidate or it would have none. So now the railroad agents in the State are out fighting against the appointment of William R. Wheeler, who | has been recommended by the business men of Cali- fornia, Oregon and Washington at their conference | in this city. They have set forth to beat him simply because he is a Pacific Coast candidate. They are acting in accordance with the settled policy of the Southern Pacific to oppose the advancement of any | and every man on the coast who is not subservient to the railroad itself. Such is the situation that confronts the people. | The choice is now between supporting Mr. Wheeler | or the railroad candidate. The issue cannot be | evaded. Every member of Congress from California, | from Oregon and from Washington should unite with the Traffic Association and its allied organiza- tions in urging the appointment of Wheeler. The efforts of the railroad to defeat him promptly met. The fight is on. Once more Cali- fornia has to meet her old foe, and it behooves her people to act with vigor. e e THE AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE. : marine has fallen is that embodied in a recent communication to the Industrial Commission at Washington by Frank L. Neall of Philadelphia. It furnishes a convincing argument for the adoption of legislation to remedy the evil by the simple fact of making known the full extent the evil has reached. Statistics quoted by Mr. Neall show the value of merchandise imported and exported by the United States for the calendar year 1808 to aggregate $1,800,000,000. The weight of this merchandise, sent out of the country and brought in, was over 37,000,000 tons. The transportation across the seas of this contribution, vast in value and bulk, to the com- merce of the world is one of the chiefest prizes of in- ternational maritime competition. To do this busi- ness Mr. Neall shows that out of a total shipping tonnage suitable for transoceanic traffic aggregating 27,600,000 tons the United States have a beggarly 125 vessels, steam and sail, with a carrying capacity of 296,185 tons. That contrast between the amount of our exports and imports across the seas and the carrying ca- pacity of our merchant marine is sufficient to con- vince any intelligent man of the inadequacy of our shipping. We are virtually subject to Europe in matters of commerce. The war in the Transvaal, which led the British to withdraw a large number of steamers from the merchant service, has so increased the cost of transportation on grain and other freight that we will lose a considerable percentage of what our profits would have been had we possessed mer- chant vessels sufficient to make us independent. Our country fronts upon both the great oceans of the earth and has an expanding commerce in each direction. It is therefore folly for us to leave the carrying trade of the seas to other nations. The re- lation which our ocean tonnage bears to that of the world at large is so small as to be shameful. A very different condition of affairs will prevail when once there has been granted to our shipping industries something of the protection which has been so advan- tageously bestowed upon our industries on land.
