ASHINGTON was born one hundred and sixty-eight years ago. To study the world Wimo which he was born is to go back to a period that in many important respects still bore the impress of the middle ages. Washington was the leader of the third great English revolution. The | English struggle toward the light began with the de- nial of the prerogatives of the First Charles, and ended with the extinction of the divine right of kings in the revolution of 16838. Eighty-eight years later | the last step was taken in our Declaration of Indepen dence, which was the logical conclusion of the pre- mise laid down in the revolt against King Charles. Washington appeared as the leader and champion of the rights of man, and his task was the establishment of a government which derived its just powers from the consent of the governed. History lays much stress upon his military leadership, but should lay more upon his ability, as the founder of civil govern- ment. He had a singularly clear comprehension of the functions and limitations of government, and an abiding faith in the principles for which he had cleared standing-place by the sword. A view of the masses of his countrymen at the revolutionary period reveals them as still much at- tached to the English monarchy. More than that, they were under the spell which the divine right oi kings had put upon men. be purged at once of teachings that have been upon many successive generations. In his own family Washington had been subject to the spirit of loyalty to the King, and his mother is believed never to have given up her devotion to the monarchy which her great son smote with a hand and will so strong that it bowed to his power and surrendered its possessions to his keeping. His faith in the institutions necessary to the ad- ministration of a government by consent was the re- sult of study of the advantages presented by our iso- lation. We were not in close contact with European life and institutions. We must depend greatly upon our capacity to-develop our own resources, for those material things upon which physical life depends. This struggle would develop and strengthen that spirit of independence and self-reliance which must be the foundation of free government. The first step taken in the Declaration of Indepen- dence was the most extreme radicalism the world had ever seen. The most advanced students of civil gov- t in Europe, and the most hopeful believers in y of the people to govern themselves, were !most entirely without faith in the doctrines of the France was with us for reasons of state olely, and maintained toward the doctrine of our revolution an attitude of tolerant skepticism. As that first step was the most radical ever taken, we must acknowledge now that its success was due almost entirely to the conservatism of Washington. He was content to do one thing at a time. We had , had alarmed the world by its novelty, and only the greatest wisdom, patience and conservatism could justify our position in the insti- which would convert novel declared our purpo tutions of government radicalism into stable system without abating a jot of its principl a Before he.passed part of the work so well established that he had no doubt of the permanence of the system. He had a clear conception of all future policy, and in his fare- well address made an unanswerable statement, of | policy, which is as wise to-day and as necessary to our peace and prosperity as it was a hundred years ago. As it now so will his counsel be a hundred and a thousand years hence. Superficial thinkers mis- take change in conditions for change in principles. Principles are the expression of truth, which is al- ways the same. Steam and electricity, that have ef- fected a dynamic transiormation of the world, have not nullified or obsoleted a single phrase in the Declaration nor in Washington's farewell address. Those who mistake the material progress of these s for a change in principles in effect say applications of science in modern day that if we had had these | 1776 the Revolution would have been without ex- cuse. Let these psendo philosophers reverse their state- ment. The ‘principles of the Revolution were the matrix of all the progress that has followed. Eng- land herself has had to move forward and occupy part of the position we stated in 1776. We have by example enlightened man everywhere, and may say, without boasting, that modern progress had its im- pulse in the patient conservatism with which Wash- ingtpn built upon the radical foundation of the Declaration of Independence. His countrymen will do well to study his ways and be wise. They will do well to turn the inattentive ear to all who teach dis- regard of his last advice to his country. The time has come when he should have more monuments to remind the people of his principles and recall to them his advice. The sublime shaft dedi- cated to his memory in the national capital might be | usefully imitated in every State of the Union as an | expression of devotion to his principles and a pledge that the people will abide in his counsel. B Some surprise seems to have been created at the assertion that Senator Clark owns the Supreme Court In view of the revelations of the Sena- torial inquiry surprise would have been more nat- ural if it were proved that Clark did not own the court. S ing the outlook for the Nicaragua canal bill says: “The recently proposed Hay-Pauncefote treaty has a bearing upon the canal which is being made use of by the enemies of that enterprise. The opposition to the treaty seems to be in all respects THE OLD OPPOSITION. ENATOR PERKINS in a recent letter discuss- It seems to come from the same quarter and to be actuated by the same spirit. It is, therefore, in my opinion, an opposition to the canal itself.” Were any confirmation needed for that statement it could be found in a pamphlet just issued and widely | circulated, giving the views of Joseph Nimmo Jr. on the treaty. That gentleman has long been prominent among the opponents of the canal, and has furnished more statistics compiled with a design to prove the folly of constructing it than any other man in America. The new pamphlet repeats much of the old argument and maintains that the canal will hé far more beneficial to Great Britain than to ourselves, and therefore should not be constructed except un- der terms that would exclude Great Britain and other foreign nations from the use of it equally with our- selves. Statistics of the Treasury Department are quoted to the effect that during the year ending June 30, 1808, the tonnage entered at ports of the United States from foreign countries was: British, 14,583,383 tons; other foreign ships, 5,755,070 tons; American, 5,240, 046 tons. So that of the foreign trade carried on at -our ports the British had §7 per cent, and the Ameri- The human mind cannot | off the stage Washington saw his | cans only 20 per cent. Further statistics show that | of the shipping which passed through the Suez canal | in that year the British vessels had a tonnage of 6,207, | 743 tonms, other foreign nations 2,039,329 tons, while | American vessels had but 1531 tons. | Upon the showing thus made Mr. Nimmo says: (“From this and other data of similar import it is | certain that under the existing conditions controlling our merchant marine engaged in foreign commerce, fully 95 per cent of the tonnage which would pass through the Nicaragua canal would be British and other foreign, and not over 3 per cent American. So the permission granted by Great Britain that the United States may construct, maintain and operate the canal at its own expense simply amounts to a consent that this country may construct, maintain and operate a highway of commerce for the special bene- fit of British shipping.” The statements and conclusions of this opponent of the canal are true so far as they go. If our merchant marine continue under ":xistinq conditions” the | benefits we derive from the canal will be mainly those which result to our domestic trade between the ports of our Pacific and our Atlantic coast. Such benefits will be great, but they will not be enough. The force | of the argument, however, does not tend against the construction of the canal, but against the existing conditions, which so hamper our merchant vessels | that of those engaged in our own foreign trade we had but 20 per cent of the tonnage in the fiscal year of 1808, according to Mr. Nimmo's figures. Such | conditions should be changed. When we have given | to American ships the governmental support which | will enable them to compete on equal terms with the subsidized lines of European nations, we shall have a full share in the trade of the ocean. The true moral of the statistics cited is that the passage of the ship- ping bill is imperatively needed in connection with the canal bill. Professor Fowler of the University of California is convinced that farmers need more common sense than do men in any other line of business. The pro- fessor has evidently been paying some attention to the operations of our well organized society of bunko steerers. RACETRACK GAMBLING AGAIN. N Tuesday the police raided a place on Market street where it was suspected that illegal pool- O selling was carried on, and when the officers entered they found twenty-seven women and two men | in the room. The incident serves to recall the extent to which pool-selling and racetrack gambling were | carried on this city before public indignation | roused the municipal authorities to the duty of sup- } pressing the evil. The crusade that ended in closing g Ingleside racetrack to the track gamblers and putting | a stop to their nefarious trade in San Francisco took | place only a short time ago, and yet already some of | the worst features of the evil have been revived. | It is hardly worth while to point out again the dis- in Rightly conducted the practice of testing the speed and the endurance of horses by means of racing is by no means an idle sport. It tends to the improvement f the breed of horses and results in widespread bene- fits. It has been called “the sport of kings,” and has engaged a considerable part of the energies of some of the foremost men of all civilized countries. That sport, however, like all others, is liable to degrada- | tton, and the degradation comes when it passes from the control of gentlemen to those of gamblers with their following of touts and toughs. It can be safely said that whenever racing is con- ducted primarily for the purpose of testing the.com- parative speed of horses it is a legitimate and com- mendable practice, but whenever it is conducted mainly for the purpose of gambling it becomes cor- rupting and degrading, enriching the professionals who direct it, indeed, but doing so at the expense of the community, and ruining hundreds of those who become the victims of its enticements. Racetrack gambling has been a plant of rapid and portentous growth in this country. In the East it became some years ago an evil of such magnitude that drastic measures were adopted to suppress it Since then a strong and unscrupulous contingent of the Eastern gambling fraternity has come to Califor- nia to ply their trade. These persons live at the best hotels, wear the finest of garments, dine sump- tuously every day and indulge in the costliest wines and cigars. To support such a mode of life there is needed a large revenue. Have the people of San Francisco ever stopped to consider where the revenue comes from, where the gamblers obtain the money they are so lavish in spending? Racing upon gambling tracks is in its way as big a fake and as much of a fraud as most of the so-called “ring contests” which other gamblers carry on by the aid of prize-fighters. The managers of the tracks fix the conditions for entries to each event in such a way they know from the beginning which horse will win. In betting against their combinations the public has no more chance than in betting against a brace game in a gambling room. The blacklegs have “a sure thing.” They win as a matter of arrangement, and live in luxury upon the spoils of fools. Men, boys, and even women, as the record shows, are enticed to make bets upon the races. They lose, and then they seek to recover the loss. In a short time the losses mount up so high that the victims be- come involved in disaster, ahd exposure is imminent. In desperation they resort first to petty frauds to ob- tzin money to make further bets in a mad hope of re- trieving themselves, and from that degree of wrong- doing proceed to downright crime. Embezzlement, theft, robbery, murder and suicide have in this city been within a few years traced to the effects of losses on the racetrack or in the poolrooms. These things were fully exploited at the time of the closing of the gambling at Ingleside, and it should not be necessary to go over them again to show the importance of preventing the resumption of the practice of selling pools upon the races at the gambling tracks. In this connection it is to be noted the gamblers have several times asserted that the Supervisors would grant a new license for racing at Ingleside racetrack. It is not likely the Supervisors will do any | such thing. If, however, such a license should be voted, the public will look to Mayor Phelan to veto it. He signed the ordinance closing the track, and can hardly be so inconsistent as to consent to per- mit its opening. On that issue at least he has gone on record unequivocally, and has surely too much self-respect to stultify himself upon it. : When the Stanford professors get through telling ofir orchardists how to grow fruit they will confer a favor by explaining how to get it to market without having all the profits confiscated by the Squthern Pa- cific. An Alameda man, in seeking a divorce, gives as his chief reason that he and his wife are fools. He possibly believes that he should think of his spouse tinction between legitimate and illegitimate racing. | B e e L R SR S o o o o S o o i S o UP THE SAME OLD PATEH. “M+QMMH+OH&M—HMMMMHWO*O+W ~The World L e e R e L B T AROUND THE CORRIDORS Dr. W. 8.

E, | Sugar Pine, Tuolumne Co., Cal. George | Washington was born in 1732, which was when the old style calendar prevailed and according to that the date of his birth was February 11, but when the new cal- endar was adopted in 1732, it was discov- ered that the date of his birth if it had been under that method of computing | time, his birthday would have been the 22d and by common consent that day was fixed as the anniversary of his birth. | Sogback, | SEQUENCE IN CRIBBAGE—A. O. 8, Oakland, Cal. The law of sequence in | cribbage is that it “consists of three or | more cards following in successive num- | bers, whether of the same suit or other- wise.” He who holds them scores one point for every card in the combination, whether it takes place in playing or | counting the hand or crib. But there can- | not be a sequence under three cards. To form a sequence in play it makes no dif- ference which of the cards is played first or last, provided the sequence can be pro- | duced by a transposition of the order in ‘which tie’ fell. The court cards (king, ueen and knave) rank in sequence after their usual classification as to rank, and not altke as tenth cards. If in a play there is played 3, 4, 5, the one who played 5 made a run of three; if the next player plays 2 he is entitled to a run of four, and the next player placing a 6 on the table is entitled to a run of five, and if the next glnycr plays a 3 he is entitled to a run of five, as he can count five from his last card.
