For the sake of the taxpayers and for the credit of the Republican party the session should be brought to a close. The people will hold the Republicans of the Legislature responsible for the waste of money if there be any, nor can it be doubted that to prolong the session will be accounted a waste. The e is too plain to be avoided. The duty of re is to be satisfied with what has been close up and quit; adjourn Saturday — REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. HE Republican League of Oregon has pub- lished the declaration that the sound money question is a paramount political issue as long as either of the great parties advocates the free coin- age of silver. It declares its adhesion and reaffirms its loyalty to the gold standard, and its opposition to the silver standard which would follow adoption of the principles advocated by Colonel Bryan. The Ore- gon league also declares that the Republican party was formed to fight the battles of free labor, to be the champion of the people, and of the American la- borer in particular, These declarations are all timely and will have their effect upon the sound money sentiment of the coun- try, which will stand to its position until the em- pirical propositions -which have threatened public credit and private prosperity are abandoned and no party stands for them. Since the issue of abolition of slavery no public question has taken as deep hold upon the American people as this. It will not be for- gotten nor its hold relaxed until the last danger of reaction and its consequent ruin has disappeared. Colonel Bryan may flatter himself that his attitude will gain accessions this year from the allied forces of sound money, but we invite him to undeceive himself. | He may fancy, too, that he can win by aveiding an issue which he prominently incarnates. No matter in what disguise he presents himself, his personality sug- gests nothing but his onslaught upon sound mone; and his grudge against all that has made for Ameri can prosperity. American labor weighed him in the balance and found him wanting in 1896, when taking counsel of its condition of distress it was in a posi- tion to be tempted by promises. The full soul lcathes even the honeycomb, and full labor this year will certainiy not crave the glucose substitute offered by Colonel Bryan and his party. The declaration in Oregon is a needed starter for the campaign. That State was saved by an earnest combination and alliance of its sound money men. Their junction was timely, for the free silver taint had thoroughly penetrated the Democracy and was making its septic and deathly way into the Republi- can party. The voice of such a State on that subject is heard to the far borders of the Union, where the money issue will be paramount as long as sound money is in danger. ‘POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS. HE Examiner has discovered reasons for the { popular election of United States Senators which are somewhat amusing, and at the same time are a revelation of that degraded sheet’s ideas of | public morality. Recurring to its own false and in- | famous charges of corruption in the election of Sena- tor Bard, it says that its own rumors of such corrup- tion “may or may not be well founded. But that they j are in circulation at all is significant.” " Yes, it is sig- | nificant of the absence of conscience and lack of | truthfulness, decency and honor of the Examiner, and | of nothing else. That paper then continues that: “Most of the men | who go to Legislatures are politicians. Most of them are poor * * * and find the salary paid them by the State insufficient to meet their expenses. And when the chance comes to make some hundreds or thousands of dollars by merely saying ‘Brown’ instead of ‘Jones’ when their names are called they are often not able to resist the temptation, * * * The remedy for this state of affairs is simple. It is to transfer the election of Senators from the Legisla- tures to the people. Then the ordinary possibilities of corruption will be shut off, for to purchase a ma- jority of the voters is an immensely more difficult matter.” It is the Examiner’s belief, then, that poor men have no honor. That they are dishonorable and dis- honest, take bribes and sell their votes because being poor and being honest are incompatible. The Ex- aminer thinks that only the rich are honorable, and that poor men must be ruled out of public life for lack of honor! Being poor, the Examiner thinks, is prima facie evidence that a man is dishonest, dishon- orable and unfit for a public trust! We deny all this. We affirm that many a man is poor because he is honorable, because he has refrained from dishonest methods to get rich, and we affirm that many a man, who began life poor has acquired wealth by the hon- orable practice of self-denial, thriit and temperance, which were his guiding principles when he was poor. “Honor and fame from no condition rise,” but are the clemental characteristics of poor and rich alike. There is a feasible advocacy of the popular election of Senators that is based in a prospective improve- administration, and that will keep every State’s representation in the Senate complete, and will rid the Senate of the constantly arising contests ment in seats in such cases as have occupied it ever since 1703. This advocacy is not based on any slander of the poor, nor in any assumed corruptibility of State Legislatures. The addled Examiner does not stop to think that if its indictment of the poor men who are elected to the Legislature be true, to take from them the election of United States Senators is to de- prive them of the least frequent and most rare oc- curring opportunity for corruption. Senators are elected for six years. meet every year, and in none is their meeting less frequent than every two years. Judged by the Ex- aminer standard members have at every session the to make hundreds or thousands of dol- Aye” instead of “No,” In some States Legislatures opportuni lars by simply saying or “No” instead of “Aye,” on the passage of bills. Again, the people elect legislators, and if they choose those who are as dishonorable as the Ex- aminer charges them to be, when they also elect Senators what assurance is there that they will on the same ballot elect dishonorable legislators and an honorable Senator? The Examiner's argument is that the people, hav- ing shown themselves unfit to be trusted to elect an honest Legislature, have thereby proved themselves | fit to elect an honest Senator! Having been unfaitt ful over few things, the Examiner proposes to com- mit to them many and greater things! All of this is based upon the Examiner's “ru- mors.” Because it has started a rumor that Senator Bard's seat was bought for $100,000, it insists upon popular election of Senators. Applying its reason 0 the people, according to the testimony of rumors from its own political household, they should not be allowed to vote at all. Colonel Bryan has often set afloat the rumor that the whole people of the republic were bribed in 1896 in the election of a President. Therefore, according to the Examiner logic, all elections should cease because of a rumor that the electors are corruptible, and especially because that paper thinks that poor men are unworthy of trust. COMMERCIAL MUSEUM WORK. | HOULD the people of San Francisco need any S outside inducement to urge them forward in the enterprise of establishing a Commercial Museum they can find it in the reports which are sent out from time to time by the Commercial Museum in Philadelphia. No American institution of recent years has been so successful as that, nor does any | perform a more important work for the country at | large. The proof of its usefulness is to be seen in the rapidity of its growth and the wide extent of its ser- vice. It was started by a number of enterprising men in Philadelphia immediately after the Columbian Ex- position in Chicago. It is therefore but a few years old, and yet it has already obtained a site including fifty-six acres, has property in the way of real es- tate, buildings and exhibits valued at nearly $1,500,- 000, has an appropriation from Philadelphia of $115,- 000 annually, and other sources of income amounting | to about $60,000. To all that it is fairly certain of adding a considerable aid from the National Govern- ment, as a bill is now before Congress appropriating | $200,000 for the purpose of increasing the exhibits of commercial articles from all parts of the world. | As an evidence of the need for such an institution a recent report directs attention to the fact that our merchants and manufacturers are hardly aware of the full extent of the foreign demand for American goods. During the past year our exports of manufactured | goods exceeded $325,000,000 in value, and yet the | trade found the American producer but partially supplieds with the information required to handle it intelligently and to the best advantage. It has been | the task of the Commercial Museum to supply that | information, and during the past twelve months | some 19,000 reports were sent out to American manu- | facturers regarding commercial conditions abroad, | and over 20,000 communications directing attention to immediate opportunities for selling goods in their | specific lines of trade in different parts of the world. | From the accomplishment of so much in Phila- i delphia the people of San Francisco can draw inspira- | tion and encouragement in the prosecution of the movement which has been undertaken here. Tt is not tc be expected that we shall build a museum so vast | as that in Philadelphia, for we have neither the pop- ulation, the wealth nor the commerce to sustain it, but in proportion to our opportunities and our pros- pects we may reasonably expect success. It is to be borne in mind that when once the Pa- cific Coast Commercial Museum has been established we shall have support from the East, for the enter- prising men of that section are aware of the increas- ing importance of the trade of the Pacific Ocean and | | tional deep waterway from the lakes through the St. | New York are striving to provide a deep waterway will cordiaily co-operate in a movement designed to | procure for the United States a fair share of it Finally we shall have the right to expect Federal aid to some extent. The Congressmen who repre- sent the Pacific Coast will vote with Philadelphia on the bill now before Congress, and when the time comes we may count upon a considerable number of Eastern men to support an appropriation bill for the Pacific Coast museum THE BATTLE OF CANA@LS. ROM the earnestness with which the people of New York are discussing the advisability of largely improving the Erie canal, it is evident they do not intend to let their trade pass away from them to other American points, or down the Canadian canals, without making a vigorous fight to retain it. The contest will be something like a war of canals, for each side is to do its best to construct the most convenient waterway by which the immense traffic between the interior of the United States and Europe can be carried from one country to the other. For some years past New York has been losing the degree of its pre-eminence over the other ports of the Union. The decrease is particularly notable in grain exports. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News, New Orleans and Galveston each have a larger percentage of gain than New York in the grain trade since 1893, and in 1899 Baltimore shipped absolutely more corn than New York, the ship- ments being 46,000,000 bushels for the one to 40,000,- ooo for the other. The shifting of trade in these instances has been due to the diminished cost of shipping grain by rail. Grain shipments by the Erie canal are subject to transfer charges at Buffalo and at New York City, while those sent by rail pass directly from Chicago or other grain markets of the interior without break- ing bulk to the wharves where they are to be loaded upon the ocean ships. It is the Canadian compe- tition, however, that New York fears most, for the improved canal system of that country threatens to make an open way for grain to be shipped straight down the St. Lawrence to Liverpool, without any transfer at all. For the purpose of meeting the coming competition Governor Roosevelt has recommended such an en- largement of the Erie canal as will enable it to ac- commodate vessels of a cargo capacity of 1000 tons. Tt is estimated the improvement will cost upward of $60,000,000, but the magnitude of the expenditure does not appear to affright the taxpayers, for the recommendation is generally approved. It is to be noted that the improvement of the Erie canal to the extent projected will virtually put an end to the much talked of scheme of constructing a na- Lawrence and Lake Champlain to the Hudson River. That scheme has been a favorite one of Chicago, but New York does not approve it. The argument of | the objectors is that if the United States Government construct a waterway by which ocean-going ships can pass from Chicago down to a point on the St. Lawrence from which a canal could be opened to Lake Champlain, there would be no reason why the ocean ship should not keep straight on down the St. Lawrence and go to Liverpool without turning aside for the sake of passing through New York. The situation is one.that calls for vast enterprise, and the enterprise will be forthcoming. Of course Chicago will get the benefit either way. Canada and which will virtually make Chicago an ocean port, and Chicago will not have to pay a cent for it. In the meantime the railways, and the ports that have been built up by railways, will have to meet the competi- tion as best they can THE NEW CONSULAR BILL. OR many years past there has been an agita- I:lion in commercial- circles for reform and im- provement in our consular service. The agita- tion has increased with the increase of our export trade, and, it is safe to say, will not cease until the demands of the merchants and the needs of the country have been satisfied by enactment of a law pro- viding for an American consular service equal, if not superior, to that of any other nation. A year ago the leading commercial bodies of the country appealed to Congress to effect a reorganiza- tion of the service. The last Congress, however, was too much occupied with war questions to take up the subject, and accordingly the consular service bill pre- pared at that time was not acted upon. At this ses- sion the issue is brought forward in a bill which has been introduced into the House by T. E. Burton of Ohio, and on the same day into the Senate by Sena- tor Lodge of Massachusetts. The bill was drawn up by representatives of large commercial organizations, after consultation with officers of the State Depart- ment and others who have had experience in the con- sular service. It is, therefore, a well considered measure and is probably preferable to any other bill of the kind that has been submitted. The bill provides for nine classes of Consuls. The highest class are to receive a yearly salary of $5000 each, the lowest class are to receive $1500 each. All fees, official or unofficial, for consular services’are to be accounted for and turned into the treasury of the United States. Within six months after the passage of the act the President is to classify the consulates in accordance with the provisions of the law, and within two years all present incumbents are to come home and pass examinations as to their fitness for the service. Each new Consul when appointed holds for a year on probation, and during that time may be removed at the will of the President. If he prove worthy and retain his office beyond a year, he cannot then be .removed except for cause. Two features of the bill are especially interesting. One of these places the consular corps at the orders of the President in the same way as the army and navy. Thus the Government can at any time detail a Consul to report for duty at any part of the world where his services may be deemed most valuable. The other permits the assignment, by the President’s order, of any Consul to special duty in the United States for a period of not more than one year at a time, and permits the nomination to consulates with- out examination of persons who have been in the classified service of the State Department for at least two years, thus creating an interconvertible service, and making experience in the foreign service avail- able for the home office, and experience in the home office available for the foreign service. If the bill become law the consular service will be no longer a part of the spoils of politics. It will af- ford a permanent career for men who choose to enter it. The young men who are to graduate from our College of Commerce may rightly aspire to eminence in it, and will not have to become a part of the push and pull of politics to attain it. It is full time for the reform to be achieved, and it is to be hoped Con- gress will find time to deal with the issue at this ses- sion. T e —— % President David Starr Jordan seems to be in a par- ticularly pathetic, penitential mood. In a recent ad- dress on the horrors of war he dwelt feelingly upon the fact, as he saw it, that all the scrubs are left home. ; AS TO THE DEATH OF SISTER CORA Bishop Moreland Tells What He Knows About the Good Woman’s Untimely End.

The Herald's prophecy that Dan Burns could not be elected Senator was well founded. California’s junior Senator will be Thomas R. Bard of Ventura, a man honored and respected by every one. - e HUMBOLDT STANDARD. The Legislature can make no mistake by electing such a man to the Senate. He is a man of means, broad culture, rigid honesty and has the ability to repre- sent this State in the United States Senate with credit. There are few Republi- cans in the State who would find fault with his election. T H SANTA ROSA REPUBLICAN. The nomination of Mr. Bard is certainly a very happy solution of the Sena- torial difficulty. All his interests are in California. He is without entangling al- liances. Nobody will be in any sense his master. He has already declared that it will be his purpose to treat all people and interests fairly. This is what all should desire. His election to the Senatorship appears like the coming of better political days to our commonwealth. PR EEs VALLEJO CHRONICLE. The question of United States Senator has been happily settled by the electlon of Hon. Thomas Bard of Ventura. He is a Republican against whom there is no criticism and of whose choice the Republican party has reason to be proud. We are also pleased that foremost among his supporters were Solano's representa- tives, Senator J. J. Luchsinger and Assemblyman Anderson, the former being one of the original twenty-eight to declare for him. Solano County, the Republican party, the State and national administrations, as well as the honored gentleman who has been chosen to represent Talifornia, are to be congratulated on the spien- did results. T . FRESNO REPUBLICAN. The universal satisfaction with wkich the choice of Thomas R. Bard for United States Senator has been received is nuthing less than astounding. A careful exam. ination of the newspaper comments from every section of the State and represent- ing every shade of political opinion fails to disclose a single word of criticism, or even qualified praise, save only the Examiner’s unspeakable yawp. Even the Ex- aminer acknowledges that Mr. Bard Is a man of the highest character and ability without entanglements of any sort, whose election was accomplished without the use of money or promises of patronage. So much the Examiner would not have said in favor of any other ca.ndldne.whgu glecuon could have been conceived. SAN DIFGO UNION.
