Mr. Shearman in a recent article begins his state- ment with a gentle reference to all who differ from him “as Molly Maguires,” referring to a murderous | organization which once committed excesses in the mining regions of Pennsylvania. With this index to Mr. Shearman’s frame of mind we may consider his argument. He says: “Ii there is any business man | who has not had sense enough to see that Briti | defeat in South Africa would be a disaster to the il.'uued States his eyes ought surely to be opened by the events of the last few days. The three British de- | feats in South Africa have already cost the United ! States at least $100,000,000 in the tremendous down- | fall of prices, the breaking up of confidence and the certainty that but for extraordinary efforts on the part | of bankers our country would have been involved in a ruin as great as that of 1893. It is most astonishing that intelligent business men who know anything of the history of our country should ignore the inex- tricable involvement of all our financial affairs with those of Great Britain and forget the lessons of our history, which show that whenever Great Britain has | been involved in a serious war, as in 1854 and 1857, panic and disaster have occurred in the United States.” Therefore the conclusion is inevitable when Eng- land chooses to go freebooting and to ride with a | hard hoof over a weak people in any part of the world we must support her lest stocks decline! | No one denies the financial and commercial interde- | pendence of nations, but to use it as an argument for Esupponing criminal aggression upon an unoffending | people, lest the defeat of the oppressor work harm to | others not parties to the conflict, is to end all hope | of ireedom in the world. Mr. Shearman is suffering | irom a strange moral inversion. He puts England in the position of influencing the world’s prosperity to such an extent that defeat in her schemes of conquest ‘and the overthrow of her armies spreads wide finan- | cial ruin through the world. Why not combine, then, | and say to her that she is the trustee of the world's | fortunes and must behave as other trustees are by law compelled to behave in fidelity to their trusts and in { loyalty to the trustors? She entered the Crimean war, which was a quarrel | that began over the custody of the Holy Sepulcher l‘in Jerusalem—not that she cared a bean who po- | liced the sacred edifice, but because it gave her a | chance to eripple Russia, her prospective rival in the | East. The Sepoy rebellion was the outgrowth of mis- government of her Indian empire. The case put by | Mr. Shearman is as if the trustee of many estates should embark in unlawful enterprises and when chid- den by his trustors should answer that no matter how | criminal his actions he must be let alone, for if he fail to win in his lawless ventures his trustors will be | rvined. Mr. Shearman is a lawyer and he knows that | such a trustee, instead of being permitted to make his }U’\I\l()rs particeps criminis, would be joited off his | | position by the courts. | In addition to this reason for uttering a rather fine | article of Toryism Mr. Shearman is of opinion that | President Kruger is an uninteresting old person, of dirty habits, while admitting that he is pious. There is no doubt that Mr. Kruger would fail to sustain himself in a Brooklyn conversazione, and he may be n unscrupulous economist of soap, but grave issues of right and wrong are never settled by details of un- sprightliness or facts as to personal habits. Mr. | our people will still sympathize with republican self- government, though we may sell less pork and pow- der and the British trustee of our profits and for- | tunes may fail to win in every hold-up. | The Senate opened all right on Wednesday, but as | soon as an effort was made to obtain information con- | cerning what Senator Hoar called “the deplorable | conditions in the Philippines” the jingo Senators got in and shut up shop with a bang. NICARAGUA OR PANAMA. COMPANY has just been incorporated in New Jersey under the title of “The Panama Canal Company of America.” It has a capital stock of $30,000,000, which may be increased at any time, and the articles of incorporation set forth that the company is organized for the purpose of acquiring | the property and rights of the Compagnie Nouvelle ! du Canal de Panama, the French corporation which ! now owns all the privileges and properties of the | great enterprise undertaken to comstruct a waterway across the isthmus. It can hardly be doubted that the incorporation of the New Jersey company is another step toward un- ‘]oadmg upon the American Government the Panama scheme. The project has long been under considera- tion and has found powerful support in this country. Some of the most influential papers in the East have 'gn-en if not an open adherence to the Panama com- | pany at least an active support in opposing the con- | The fight | | struction of"the canal across Nicaragua. of the Panama men just now is for delay, and it looks as if they have the expec new commission a report in their favor. | Morgan of Alabama in the Senate and Hephurn of !

Naturally the Panama promoters are ayerse to even so much as a | debate at this session, and consequently there prom- ises to be a vigorous fight in the committee-rooms as | soon as Congress gets back to work. In the meantime the press, so far as it is controlled | or influenced by the advocates of the Panama scheme, | has been set to work on a campaign of education. The cry is one of strenuous objection to any action at | this session. Some of the arguments are utterly un- | fair. For example, no less a paper than the Boston two leaders to bring up the question at once says: “We have no wisk to accuse Messrs. Morgan and Hepburn of interested motives, but it must be evi- dent to any one that if they were financially concerned | in the purchase by the United States Government of | such alleged rights and equities as the Nicaragua Canal Company possessed this would be precisely ths | way in which they would be likely to act.” The unfairness of that insinuation against Morgan | | | { R.

The plea for | delay. in order to make further investigations is at- tractive and appears reasonable, but it must be re- | membered that the routes have been under considera- | tion for many years; they have been examined again é_and again by commission after commission, and there is no reason for deeming the present commission any wiser than some of its predecessors. At some point in the history of every enterprise the !discussion must end and action begin, otherwise it | never will be an enterprise. The majority of the peo- lple of the United States are not partisans of either route, but they are desirous of ending the talk and l beginning the work and will support Morgan and | Hepburn in their efforts to have a decision made this | winter. With a Russian doctor trying to devise a rheans of perpetuating life, and a French one working at ex- | periments in reviving the dead,-it looks as if the | Franco-Russian alliance might mean big things for | the twentieth century aiter all. THE COMING LUMBER PROBLEM. UR esteemed contemporary, the New York O Sun, is one of those cheerful optimists who hold an unshaken faith in the old belief that our forests afford a practically inexhaustible supply of lumber, and that notwithstanding the sweeping away of the woods of the East there is still plenty leit in the West. In a recent article, commenting upon the scarcity of pine in/fviaine and the Lake States, it says: | “Thus far it has not paid Pacific Coast lumbermen | to send much of their product East, so their surplus has been sent to foreign markets. But when we begin | to draw more largely upon the Southern pines and Northern spruce and hemlock it will certainly be pro- fitable to send Pacific lumber to ghie Eastern markets. There is for us no serious prospect of a lumber fam- ine. The United States will continue to beat the world in the variety, excellence and abundance of its timber available for sawing. But we shall use a good deal of soft lumber not so desirable as white pine.” Whether there be a serious prospect of a lumber famine in this country depends upon how far into the future the view is extended. There is certainly no | prospect of a famine this year or next, but within the lifetime of a single generation the vast pine forests of Michigan and Wisconsin have been cleared away | and those of Minnesota are rapidly vanishing. It was once thought those forests were exhaustless, and the | man who talked of a serious prospect of a lumber | famine there would have been laughed at. We sece, | however, what American energy and waste have done : in those States, and with that sight before us it re- | quires no gift of prophecy to foresee what they will do ‘r | ! on the Pacific Coast if they are permitted to go on unchecked. Some of the facts set forth by the Sun itself are sufficient to show the danger that is ahead. It says: “Only a few years ago there were eighty large sa mills in Fond du Lac, Eau Claire and Marathon, Wis- consin towns; but now all have disappeared, and the men who worked in connection with them have had | to change their business or seek employment in other | lumbering regions. More than 15000 men are cut- | ting white pine in Minnesota this winter, and their wages amount to more than $430,000 a month. About | 20,000 men are employed in the sawmills of Minne- apolis, and over 40,000 men in the State make their living out of the lumber industry. They know that in a few years more they must find other work, and many talk already of following their present employers to the Pacific Coast, where some of them are acquiring large interests in the timber lands of Washington, Oregon and California. Thus an army of axmen will have crossed the continent, laying low the greatest pineries of the country.” The destruction of Pacific Coast forests has gone | rapidly forward as it is. If to the present destructive forces there be added this further army of 40,000 lum- | bermen from the Eastern pineries cutting and saw- ing to supply not only our local demand but that of the East as well, it will not be long before the pros- pect of a lumber famine will be serious indeed. If we are to provide an escape from that impending famine we must begin at once to preserve and to re- | plant the forests as rapidly as we destroy them. | From the ease with which the Boers will be able to get supplies by way of Delagoa Bay, provided the | British blockade there be decided to be a violation of | the law of nations, it would appear that a small na- tion in time of war is better off without seaports than if it had them. If Delagoa belonged to the Boers it would be of no use to them, but so long as it is in the | hands of neutrals they can use it for all it is worth. The number of immigrants who entered New York | during the last three months was so large that it is | expected this year will bring a vetitable army of inr- | migrants to our shores to share in our prosperity, and if we are to have an adequate restriction law on the subject it is about time for Congress to get at it. e b The railway magnates of the country are complain- | ing that they lack cars to handle the freight that is offered them; but at the same time they are fighting with one another to see which shall get the lion’s | share—or rather the hog's share, for when the lion has all he can manage he knows he has enough. ST The British appear at last to have learned some- thing from the Boers and are not making any more blind rushes at the enemy before seeing him. Tt is | ! even probable that by the time Roberts arrives on | | the scene Buller will have learned enough to get along | without him. The announcement of the appearance of the bu- ‘l bonic plague in Manila is another warning of the | | dangers that lie in wait for our soldiers in those | Asiatic islands. Imperialism may be a very fine thing, | but it costs more than it is ever likely to be worth to | this country. —_— | From the frequency with which the Boers fire plum puddings into the British lines at Ladysmith, or send merry heliograph messages to their armies, it would seem they look upon the war as a good joke on John Bull and are enjoying it. | When the work of municipal improvement gets fairly started it will be impossible to find a citizen ! who will admit that he voted against the bond issues. The fact that the Lawton fund already exceeds | $50.000 is a proof that the citizens of this republic are not ungrateiul even if those of others be so. Now that the people have fully grasped the beauti- ful rose of promise contained in the mew charter they are beginning to feel where the thorns are. ‘We shall be pleased to see Oakland follow the exam- ple of San Francisco and give bonds for municipal |improvements. | other local affairs of a i ¢ : | % : : : D000 TS THE ek an ot S S R Sl S e ot e ol e o ) PG990 00 0000000090800 0000000040000 0 0S¢ Ot OO0 b es-eo® G N s = e S S S S St o o e o o o e ot o SAME GREAT FLAME. orld. New York W PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION. The Call does mot hold Itselt responsible for | the opinions published in this column, but | presents them for whatever value they may have as communications of general interest. Editor The Call—Your editorial “The State and Schools,” which appeared in the daily issue on Saturday, was timely and in my opinion correct. A very able paper was read before the State Teachers’ ciation in Sacra- mento some ten years ago by J. L. Wilson, then Superintendent of Schools of Colusa County. 1In this paper he deplored the fact that there was a tendency toward taking the control of the schools from the | people. His concluding words were to the effect that he strongly favored cratic principle of allowing each district to'control its own affairs. As well ‘might the State attempt to take control of all public nature. The schools are in politics. It is the teachers’ fault if they are. And where would they be if authority of cc transferred, pray? Would th: not still be in politics? Yes, and in judgment_in a worse condition -than at present. The State already has control of the schools in the way in which it should, Take away the people, and where is the State? Take away the right of local s2i overnment, and what have don You have not only taken away all the. interest in educational work, but you have struck a death blow at thé fundamental principles of our form of government. The trouble lies right here. The univer- sities and State Normal Schools are turn< ing out more teachers each year than there is a demand for, and these institu- tions desire, through the State, to get con- trol of the public school system to further | thelr own ends—to form a sort of pubiic school trust, as it were.

It is the intention of the Sunset Valley property-owners to add ome more drive- way from the Golden Gate Park to Mis- sion street, through the sand hills on the south side of the park, by opening Nine- teenth avenue.

It will open up the district south of the park and ficial grades are established as far south as Ocean road. It is destined to become the principal avenue and driveway in the thriving Sunset.

McDonald has filed a suit in the United States Circuit Court on behalf of the United States as well as himself to recover $112,000 from M. H. de Young for having published in 112,000 copies of the Chronicle of December 30, 187, a map of | the Yukon Gold Belt, which McDonald alleges was an infringement of his copy- righted map of the same district. The complaint asks that $56,000 of the damages be pald to the United States and $56,000 to himself. Under the Revised Statutes one-hal? of the penalty in such cases goes to the United States, and the damages may be assessed at one dolar per copy of the pub- lication of the alleged infringement. The fact that the Chronicle published 112,000 coples of the map is ascertained from the statement published in the Chronicle to that effect. Provided for Unfortunates.
