In regard to the latter, Congress may easily make a mistake that will have fatal results at home within the next few months. So far no full and satisfactory panorama of all the conditions in the Philippines has been exhibited to the American people. Superficial observers, who have not been in the islands long | enough to get tanned by the vertical sun, have made rhapsodical reports which are an unsubstantial basis for legislation. Professional philanthropists have ex- | ploited plans for applying a sentimental emulsion to ‘the situation. Religious enthusiasts have entered the field with the olive branch in one hand and the plan | of salvation in the other. In this confusion of ideas there is absolutely not a single square foot of bed 1cck upon which to plant legislation. Therefore Con- | gress should let the matter alone. It should not com- | mit the country to a policy which may soon have to be changed in detail or entirely swept away. The Republican party has interests at stake which must not be imperiled, for they are the interests of the country. The Administration must not be bur- dened with the execution of a Congressional plan which will probably be a misfit, while fighting for its life in a Presidential campaign. Issues are not arti- ficially manufactured. They grow out of the ever - | changing conditions that ebb and flow. The Bryanites are trying to make an issue on ex- pansion. No one who entertains sincere convictions on that subject trusts them. It is patent that they | were ready to assault the Administration if it had i"‘ke" the side they now pretend to support. They stand upon expediency and not upon principle. Their position is unimportant unless it is made weighty by la premature conclusion reached by Congress, with- out full knowledge of the situation upon which it at- | tempts to legislate. | The Republican party has not spoken on the sub- ject through a national convention. The issue is not formulated. It need not be until it is digested by pub- lic sentiment. There is no certainty that Senator Foraker's bill is wise, or that it can be amended into wisdom. The Republican party does not want to en- ter a Presidential campaign defending a legislative interpretation of the constitution which the courts | may not sustain. Indeed, the party need not be put in the position of defending anything. Its record for four years, as written in revived industry, resusci- tated trade, wide-spreading prosperity, increased wages, and the transfer of millions of workingmen from the soup house to the factory, from the pauper list to the payroll, requires no defense, and on that record it should stand. It need not be compelled to defend experimental and imperfect legislation. It need not be forced into a position that will divert pub- lic attention and popular approval from the mighty things it has done to what it may be accused of in- tending to do. Congress should pause. experimental legislation. confidence in the President shown, and should not obscure the domestic issues raised by its successful policy at home by the shadow of issues raised abroad. It should refrain from It should show the same | NCE more the rapidly expanding practice of O co-operation has given rise to a problem | which confuses business and perplexes busi- ness men. The new issue has arisen in San Jose, the | home of the co-operative fruit unions, but this time the intent of the movement is not to eliminate from traffic middlemen who live at a distance, but mer- chants who live in San Jose itself; hence the com- | plexity of the problem. | It appears the students of the State Normal School in that city have combined to form a co-operative book store, with the object of obtaining their books | at something like wholesale rates. The success of the undertaking will mean a considerable 10s to the booksellers of the city, who have in the past had the patronage of the 700 students of the institution. ]]argc a trade, of course, is not to be surrendered | without a struggle to retain it, and consequently the | book dealers are striving as best they can to defeat | the project. The issue, as it is reported to have presented itself to the merchants, is more important than shows at first thought. The movement toward co-operation is so far reaching in its influence that each new suc- cess attained by it leads to movements in similar di- rections elsewhere. Thus it is feared that if the stu- dents of the Normal make a profitable venture of their | undertaking it will not be long before the entire | school population will, in the various larger centers, | combine to obtain books and other school require- ments on the co-operative plan. That will mean a | very heavy loss, indeed, to’ many booksellers, and the San Jose merchants are said to be engaged in an ef- | fort to arouse the trade throughout the State, and | particularly in this city, to assist in the opposition to | the movement. It is not worth while to inquire into the merits of the controversy so far as it affects San Jose alone. It is reasonable to assume that the book dealers of the city have not made unjust charges for books supplied to the students. In fact, it would be impossible for them to do so even if they formed a combination | among themselves to fix school prices, for San Jose |is so near to San Francisco and Oakland that the out- | side competition would soon bring prices down to |the rightful level. It is, therefore, probable the un- | dertaking of the students is simply a part of that wide- ‘swetping movement toward co-operation which is going on all over the civilized world. It is in that |light it will have to be considered; and when con- sidered so, it is not easy to see how any antagonism | can defeat it if it be properly managed. It is easy to denounce such combinations; easy to speak of them as trusts, and declare them to be in- jurious to the general welfare; but the fact remains that co-operationtis the most potent of the new eco- nomic forces of our time. It shows itself in a thou- sand forms, some good and some bad, some wise and some foolish. Blunders are committed in its name, and many unscrupulous things have been done by avaricious or aggressive persons in carrying out some of its enterprises, but it grows in spite of all. The merchants are, of course, justified in fighting the Normal movement by selling books cheaper than the tudents’ store can sell them, but anything like a lbmded combination against that particular venture If this be true of a situa- | that the country has | So | | the settlement of other questions which have caused delay in adopting a definite storage policy for the saving of flood waters.

The proceeds of such leases are to be di- vided with the States, to be by them applied to irri- i gation purposes. It is very desirable that the lease- hold policy be at once applied in order that there may be an accurate measure of the amount it will produce for irrigation. When such measure is taken the people will know how much capital they must seek elsewhere for the storage of storm waters, and | will determine where it is to be sought, and how. Until the leasehold question is brought down out of the air it is a real obstruction to progress in irriga- tion. | The leasing of ranges for cattle on the public do- | main is a big enough question to stand alone and | win on its merits. Since the stock increased and the | forage has been decreasing there has been a lawless | condition on the ranges for which any kind of law would be an agreeable substitute. The cattlemen have been arrayed against the sheepmen, and there has been between them a condition of actual war, | involving the destruction of much property and a loss ‘oi life. There have been scores of sub-feuds, sheep- men against sheepmen and cattlemen against cattle- men, contesting for a season’s use of rapidly disap- ‘pearing forage. As a result there has been not only | a condition of lawlessness, while the gentle shepherd | has gone armed like a marauder, but the total value Y(\f that part of the public domain adapted to grazing | has dwindled year by year, through overstocking and | destruction of its natural grasses. { The fault was with Congress and a disposition is { now shown to correct it. If a law be passed which properly regulates the leases, is respectful of actual stockowners and of the small rancher’s privilege to | control enough abutting commons for his domestic | | stock or small herd, and which prevents speculation in leaseholds, a most grateful change will appear. Then the leaseholder will be interested in renewing the exhausted grasses of his range and the agrostolo- | gists of the Agricultural Department will find their | most useful occupation in protecting the country’s beef food supply, by assisting in re-seeding to the | plants which supply forage. It is proposed to make the tenure of the leaseholds | ten years, with the privilege of two renewals, a total | of thirty years. It is safe to say that at the end of that period the Government will own grazing lands | more valuable than they were when ranged only by the buffalo, elk, deer and antelope, and the beef food supply of the country will be in better condition than now. Our Western members should see the importance of united action ‘to secure such legislation, and all irrigators should give their weight and influence to | it, to clear the ground for the specific interest which | they represent. | BALLOTING | SS O satisfactory have been the results of voting MACHINES IN NEW YORK. by balloting machines in various cities in New York, it is now proposed to use the machines ’in the metropolis itself for the elections of the coming fall, and the Police Commissioners have the subject under consideration. The State constitution provides that “all elections by the citizens shall be by ballot, | or by such other method as may be prescribed by ‘law, provided that secrecy in voting be preserved.” ‘That renders it legally possible for local option o | be exercised in the matter, and hence the movement ;toward machine voting goes on in New York by de- | grees, one city or county following another, instead ! of waiting for action by the State government. In a review of the experiments with the machines | in that State, the New York Sun says: “A practical test of a voting machine was made in April, 1898, at |a local election in Lockport. At the general State | election of November, 1898, 75 voting machines were used, 73 in the city of Rochester and 2 in Utica. The | experiment was encouraging, for in November, 1899, 225 machines were used, 108 in Buffalo, 73 in Roch- ester, 26 in Utica, 10 in Ithaca, 5 in Albion, 2 in Canisteo and 1 in Winfield. The test in Buffalo, a large city of 60,000 electors, was trying, but it appears | to have been very satisfactory, judging from the de- | termination of the public authorities there to adhere to machines.” It would appear from the record that the tests haye been sufficiently numerous and sufficiently varied to | justify the conclusion that the machines are a large | improvement over the old system. Those used in | the different cities in New York are said to be some- what similar in the principle of construction to the cash registers and railway annunciators with which | the public is familiar. The advantages resulting are said to be: First, celerity of voting and counting; second, the elimination of fraud from the count; third, | the freedom from ambiguous or defective ballots; | fourth, the reduction in the number of election offi- ;ccrs required and a consequent diminution of ex- pense; and, finally, a greater convenience for voters. According to the reports, the duties of election officers where the machines are used are merely per- functory, as the machines register the votes and count | them automatically. The speed attained by them is remarkable. It is said that in Rochester, at the first ‘trial of the system, the returns from all the voting }districts in the city were at headquarters in thirty- | nine minutes. In Buffalo, at the last election, they were in within seventy-seven minutes after the polls were closed, and rapid tabulation of the results was secured by the use of eighteen adding machines—a further extension of the system of substituting me- | chanical methods for those of canvassers. Such being the reports from the smaller cities, a good deal of interest will be felt throughout the coun- try in the investigations now being made in the city of New York. It requires something like $500,000 to defray the expenses of an election in that city, and if a trial be made with the machines this fall and the re- sults are as good as they are said to have been else- where, it will not be long before the machines will be in general use in all progressive States. r———— Sweden, the reports say, is-being overrun by Rus- sian spies. The Czar probably is engaged in the in- nocent pastime of learning the effect of his peace conference on his neighbors. The military secrets of General Joubert, it is said, are being peddled in every capital in Europe. Semebody ought to send the information to the Transvaal, where it may do some good.

HAIL, THE NEW SENATOR What the California Press Thinks About the Selection of Thomas R. Bard. S8AN DIEGO TRIBUNE. In the selection of Thomas R. Bard of Ventura as their caucus choice the antl-Burns men have given Southern California a deserved representation; have purged the contest of any charges of corrupt influences and have a clean can- didate who, if elected, will unite the party in the State this fall. e SANTA CRUZ SENTINED. The election of Thomas R. Bard to the United States Senate Is assured. Hs is an excellent compromise selection, being able and honest. His selection will in- sure a grand Republican victory in California this year. California is now as- sured two Republican United States Senators. s VENTURA FREE PRESS. It the California Legislature now in session would conclude when it ballots for United States Senator next week to choose Thomas R. Bard for this im- portant position, there would be general rejoicing all over Southern Californfa. And there seems a bare possibility that they may do this very thing. PR STOCKTON RECORD. Now that the opposition has been united, organized and successful, the good sense, the Republicanism and the patriotism of the Burns people should cause them to accept the result, as Republicans opposed to Burns would have accepted one in their favorite’s selection. Mr. Bard’s Republicanism, fidelity and ability are unquestionable and nothing but personal ambition can prompt any objection against him. I SAN JOSE HERALD ¢ * ¢ Mr. Bard is a capable man of affairs; has always been identified with the Republican party; has taken a keen interest in politics; has been a delegate to one National Republican Convention and twice a Republican Presidential elect- or. He has had no legislative experience. Unless later developments puts some new face upon affairs, he is to be accepted as the candidate of the Republican party for the high office of United s.tutef Ee:lator. WOODLAND MAIL. The Mail was for Colonel D. M. Burns first, last and all the time, but we bow most gracefully to the will of the majority. * * * Thomas R. Bard is one of the foremost Republicans of the State. He is a man of high and noble char- acter and unimpeachable integrity. When this State went for Cleveland he was the only Republican presidential electorchosen. The election of Mr. Bard will no doubt heal up the break that has been caused in the party ranks. He has reason to feel very proud, as he received the nomination, i-ractlc:lly without selici- tation on his part. We predict that he will make one of the best representatives this State ever had. LOS ANGELES TIMES. The actlon of the Republican caucus at Sacramento last night In nominat- ing the Hon. Thomas R. Bard of Ventura County for the high and honorable office of United States Senator is a delightful outcome to what has heretofore been a most distressing state of affairs in this State. Mr. Bard is a man of high character, of splendid standing In the community and of excellent attainments. In the entire list of candidates that have been balloted for in the caucus at the present session, and that were voted for in the regular session last year, none comes more nearly being the ideal Senatorial candidate than is the distinguished gentleman who was, on yesterday, so handsomely honored by the representatives of his party and by the people of this glorious commonwealth. * LEae FRESNO REPUBLICAN. As the original Bard paper the Republican may be pardoned for a little feel- ing of especial satisfaction at the selection of Thomas R. Bard by the Republi- can Senatorial caucus last night and the practical guarantee of his election when the formal ballot is taken next Tuesday. However, the gratification of the respectable people of the entire State will be unbounded. Fi a trembling hope, that it might escape disgrace California has changed to a trfumphant proclama- tion that it has won honor; that the combined efforts of every element of cor- ruption and degradation in polities. have come to nothing, and that instead the State is about te select to represent it in the highest legislative council in the world a man whose election will confer as much honor on the State as on him- self. R SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT. By all means let it be Thomas R. Bard, and it is not strange that we should have advocated his election during the regular session, and the Republicans of this town entirely ignoring the really clean candidate of Ventura. n, last Monday, in connection with the Republican mass meeflni. we stated that Santa ‘Burbara Republicans did not want Burns because he is deemed too unprinci- pled, and neith®r wanted Thomas R.

The decision of the Republican caucus to support the Hon. Thomas R. Bard for Senator is an agreeable solution of a very vexed question. So far there has been nobody to object to Mr. Bard This may have been owing in some degree to the fact that he was not prominent in the contest until immediately before his election, but there could not have been much against him when the widely sun- dered factions opposing Colonel Burns so rnalznnocked‘xo his standard. Mr. Bard is in public life in the best sense of the term. He is bmdg‘lnd creditably Californian, and he will 8id to bring to the affairs of this coast most respect- ful consideration of the United States benate. We congratulate Mr. Bard; we congratulate the Republican party and we congratulate the great State of Call- fornia on the outcome. . NSRS SACRAMENTO RECORD-UNION. Hon. Thomas R.
