HE Examiner is greatly excited over the propo- Tsition to put a tariff barrier between American la- bor and tropical cheap wages. It is worth whileto note the history of the Examiner as an expansionist. It first announced the doctrine that Congress was not bound by the constitution in making a form of gov- ernment for the tropical islands, but could rule them as it pleased. Next it demanded that we hold Porto Rico and “nail the flag to the Philippines.” Now it is appalled because Republicans propose to govern these islands according to its theory and is frantic for free trade between them and the United States. This is understood to be the Democratic pro- gramme, which changes with every month. If this programme of the Examiner be carried out | and the Republican plan for governing the various places to which the Examiner desired the flag to be nailed is defeated it means the displacement of Amer- ican labor by cheap tropical and coolie slave labor. We welcome the issue. The Call opposed the vari- ous flag-nailing propositions and it now opposes the Democratic sequence which reopens the coolie labor question and inflicts damage irreparable upon Ameri- can labor. We insist that the Republican doctrine of protec- tion shall be maintained. \The party has never been unmindful of the interests of An Since ican labor. its organization the wage schedule and the standard of life for that labor have risen and advanced steadily and uniformly. We desire no assault upon that con- dition of things and propose to defend the American system against all comers. The plan of the Examiner and its party not only opens all our ports to the free influx of the products of cheap labor, but brings the coolie slave here, bodi to take from American labor the little bread that will be left after the products are displaced. The risk is great, the crisis imminent, the call to duty is plain and unmistakable. The rights of American labor are chal- lenged by the Examiner and we stand for them, now and always. The chief objection to free trade with Porto Rico is the Democratic intention to use it as a precedent and an entering wedge to influence a like policy for the P!

FORESTS AND FLOODS. HIS country is st em of forestry, which w from a proper preserve the tim- ber tracts that have escaped ax and fire and make their product a permanent source of wealth, di- rectly through proper harvesting for economic use, and indirectly through the effect of permanent forest | upon climate and moisture. It is cheering, however, that a start toward such a system is being made by collecting the physical facts which demonstrate its necessity. There has been much opposition to for- estry because to the uninformed it has seemed to be an organized opposition to the use of timber and an attempt to preserve the forests for scenic purposes, or for purely sentimental reasons. Knowledge to cor- rect this is being gradually spread abroad and lum- bermen are learning that they may so treat timber tracts as to make their crop permanent, to be har- vested from time to time, with reproduction uninter- rupted. In this way they are beginning to see their business may be permanent and the land kept amply covered with forest as a protection of moisture and to conserve the flow of streams. The Agricultural Department is about to enter upon an investigation of the relation of forest to the run-off of watercoursss. The Division of Forestry has chosen for that purpose the watershed of the Mohave River, in this State, which has its ‘water- shed in the San Bernardino Mountains. That water- shed exhibits three distinct characteristics. Part of it is 2 brush-covered district, part has been deforested and made bare and blear by lumbering, and part is still covered by ‘primeval forest. The soil is uniform, and the rainfall over all is practically the same. Tt is expected that this investigation will prove that the fiood extreme of a watercourse is in proportion to the lack of forest covering. It will be seen that the rainfall on a watershed being known, and acclivity ascertained, and the run-off of the stream measured, the effect of vegetable covering of the soil upon the flow of the water to the channel of the stream is demonstrated. When one watershed ated, the data secured is ready for The infor- application to like areas and conditions. | mation to be obtained has a variety of useful applica- tions. It illuminates the subject of forest preservation and is instructive in the steps toward a proper ad- ministration of forest land. It exposes also the waste of water that follows the destruction of forests, caus- ing the streams to become muddy torrents, carrying away the water and the fertile surface of the soil at the same time. When the forest cover is maintained the rainfall is conserved and delivered slowly to the drainage channels, and these do not alternate betweer excessive floods and entire dryness. When the rain- fall runs off by reason of excessive saturation of the forest soil it appears in the streams as storm water, carrying with it but little silt, because the vegetable cover protects the soil surface from wash, and such water may be stored for irrigation and to reinforce | the normal flow of the stream in the dry season. The work to be begun on the watershed of the Mohave will also supply data relating to the amount of water that falls upon the watershed and what be- comes of it. When the area of every watershed in the State is known, and the run-off through streams is measured. we may get at the volume of storm water that may be stored and can then estimate the duty it can do on lands that need irrigation. For these reasons the work of the Agricultural De- partment will be watched with interest. Mr. Gifford | Pinchot, the devoted and expert forester in charge of | the forestry division of that department, has long | noted the facilities furnished by California for such a demonstration as is proposed, and it is confidently expected that he will derive an object lesson of the | greatest interest and value. As a meeting of the committee charged with pro- moting the establishment of a commercial museum resulted in an attendance too small to constitute a quorum, it is evident the enthusiasm in the movement | of some of the members evaporated in talk and left none for action. THE YUKON mMmdiL SERVICE. ROM the Dawson Board of Trade there has l::been forwarded to Washington a memorial in- viting the attention of the Postmaster General | to certain ill effects resulting from existing postoffice | rules and regulations affecting the Yukon service. | One of these is the order that the mails between | Dyea and Dawson shall contain only letters and pos- | tal cards, to the exclusion of all other articles. The | other is the rule that when notice is given of mail mat- | ter held for insufficient postage but two weeks' time lis allowed to the notified party to forward the amount required. The latter issue is one about which there can be no differences of opinion. Two weeks is ample time for postal remittances anywhere within reach of a rail- | way, but it is manifestly absurd to enforce that rule | upon the people of Dawson. As the memorial says: “Replies to such notice sent to Skaguay from this ! place to be replied to require at least four weeks, and from Seattle six weeks. Tt will therefore be seen | that this works great hardship and loss.” The rea- | sonable request is made that postmasters be instructed to retain mail matter on which insufficient postage has been paid for at least two months, so as to give those interested an opportunity to make good the de- ficiency. £ The other request is not so self-evidently jpst, but | nevertheless good reason is given for it. The Cana- dian Development Company has a contract for de- livering 700 pounds of mail each week. For a long time past, so the memorial states, the average weight of mail from “the outside” has been less than 350 pounds a week. It thus appears the weight of letters and postal cards is not sufficient to make up the amount the contract calls for. That being so, it would be wise to permit other kinds of mail matter to be forwarded. At least all on which first class post- | age has been paid might be carried to make up the weekly average of 700 pounds’ weight. The memorialists say: “We are reliably informed | that under the instructions of the department limiting the carrying to letters only much matter on which | first class postage has been paid has been withheld | {and will not be delivered until the approaching sum- mer. This works a great hardship to those depend- |ing on the mails for the transportation of documents and papers absolutely essential to the proper carrying | on of business. Many of us are also subscribers to | periodicals, which are now withheld, although first class rates have been paid thereon.” | | The enforcement of the two weeks’ rule for replies | to notices of deficient postage upon the people of | Dawson or any part of Alaska is red tape of the | worst kind. It would seem also to be full time for | better arrangements to be made for the whole sys- tem of mail service with the Yukon country. It is no lcnger the impenetrable swilderness it was. There are ! now good trails from Skaguay over the mountains and down the river to Dawson and the principal mining camps, with lodging places convenient for every part of the journey. Mining in that country has ceased to be an affair of adventure only. It 1s | | now an established industry, and Dawson has become | | a center of no inconsiderable business. It is time, | | therefore, the rules made during the rush of 1897 | should be abrogated and a better service provided. The worthy members of the House of Representa- | tives appear to have discovered at last the qualifica- | tion necessary to entitle one to a pension. Anybody who smelt gunpowder during the war is fit for the | eligible list. e PROTESTS AGAINST TARIFF CHANGES [ GRATIFYING feature of the contest against | fl the proposed reciprocity treaties is the part 1 taken in it by certain important manufacturing | associations in the East. It appeared for a time as if | California would have no other aid in defending her |industries than that given by the beet sugar producing | States, but now there is a prospect that all who be- | lieve in the principle of protection will unite in | | opposing the ill devised reciprocity arrangements. A large manufacturing company of New York has protested against the treaties on the ground that “the |-recedent which would be established by their con- } firmation would be a standing menace to all manuiac- turing industries.” The protest further declares: | “By making tariff rates a matter of bargain between | countries such a feeling of uncertainty and insecurity would be aroused that no conservative manufacturer would dare invest capital in enterprises which might be ruined by reciprocity treaties.” Representatives of Philadelphia manufacturers as- sert that if the treaty with France be carried out “the harm that would be inflicted on many industries, but especially upon the manufacturing of braids and trim- mings, would be far-reaching.” From firms engaged in the jewelry industry in New England there has been sent to the Senators from that section a protest declaring that a ratification of the French treaty would be disastrous to the 50,000 people who are now dependent for support upon that industry; they there- fore appeal to those Senators to use their utmost en- deavors to have the treaty rejected. It is clear the manufacturers of the East begin to see the full extent of the danger ahead. Their inter- ests will suffer as well as those of the people of Cali- fornia, and, moreover, they perceive that if we once set about breaking down the protection given to American industry by the tariff, there is no telling where the process will stop. After a reciprocity treaty with France there will be demanded one with Ger- many, with Italy and with Russia. The whole S¥s- tem will be disordered, and the industries® of the country thrown into confusion. This is one of the cases where it is best to let well enough alone. Let us not tinker with a tariff that is satisfactory as it stands. If the British were a slangy people they would feel now like saying, “The Boers are it.” They might also add that the English army in Natal is “up against it.” —_— Willie Stout, a Texas youth of 2r, weighs 712 pounds and is «till a-growing.

WAS INJURED IN A HURRICANE | General Roberts, commander in chief of the British forces in South Africa, has visited nearly every port of any size on| the face of the globe as the figurehead of | the British ship General Roberts, which arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W., last| Wednesday. When the vessel was ready | to Kandahar was the one topic of conver- sation in England, so a figurehead of the general as he then appeared was put on the ship and she was christened “‘Gen- eral Roberts.” Since that time the figurchead has been in all kinds of weather, and had its name- have come to the conclusion that the bat- tles with the elements were sometimes as | hard as encounters with the Afghans and Boers. When the General Roperts left | England two years ago the iigurehead was | beautiful in its new coat of paint. The ship eame here and after discharging went | to Puget Sound and loaded lumber for | Cape Town. On arriving there the war had just begun, and the General Roberts | cleared for Australia in ballast. On the way a terrific storm was eucountered and both the general's arms were washed off. From Australia the General Roberts came | here and the figurehead is still minus the | arms. The vessel loads here for Liver- pool, and on her arrival there the General will be rehabilitated. Should he have de- feated the Boers by that time the owners of the vessel will probably put on a new | figurehead showing the hero of the South African campaign without his side whisk- ers. Captain T. C. Fearon, master of the General Roberts, is a great admirer of the “Pocket Wellington and arder’” (a half), and has the following lines of Kipling's engrossed and framed and hung In such @ position in the cabin that he can see it every time he leaves his room: There's a little red-faced man, Which is Bobs.

Me- Mann says he was stood up by footpads | near his residence and nearly beaten to death. The doctors at the hospital are of | the opinion that McMann was in a saloon row and there got his beating. DE KOVEN'S OPERA STILL ENJOYABLE It Is not improbable that the encyclo- pedias a century hence will contain the name of Reginald de Koven, composer of “Robin Hood,” though such a distinetion will hardly be accorded to Harry B. Smith, the book-maker, nor to Victor Herbert, jinglesmith. De Koven has cer- tainly succeeded in producing one epoch- making opera, and whether, as it is al- leged, he bought his tunes from im- pecunious musiciansor not, it really makes no difference to any one but the record- ing angel. He may be & plagiarist and deserving ot appropriate condemnation, but he has all the credit for “Robin Hood.” and that is a great deal in itself. Herbert is Pperhaps, nay, is a better musician than De Koven, but it Is with them as with some One may have the sounder foun but without the knack for versification another the ability to turn off gracefui rhymes without a truly poetic faculty. There are poets who cannot write poctry and there are musicians who cannot write up ’is ceat, ot play the goat music. Victor Herbert is one of them. De Koven, however, is a pleasing poet- aster In music, with an occasional hint in the orchestra at something better, when he undertook the ldegl coml:ro;et;g theme of Robin Hood and his merry men he did not disgrace it, as many another house into sflence during the entire first act. It is a remarkable fact that not a hand-clap was flushed until after the first curtain. Later on the audience made up for its introductory coolness by encoring all the familiar ditties, without regard to how they were rendered. Miss Van Dresser—who I think mors and more should be seen and not heard— sang the time-cheapened “O Promise Me, ™ the spurious gem of the opera, with no style and a bad voice. She was encored e “Tallor Song” was mangled by Mr Dunsmure, and he was encored—thres times. The tinkers’ chorus was encored, of course—four times, I think—and the fact that it met with the greatest success when given in dumb show indicates how much the audience cared for the singers’ share in ft. The madrigal in the second act, which s one of the best bits in the opera, went ex- ceedingly well, and in a subsequent guar- tet Mr. Dunsmure retrieved himself by singing his subordinate music with a w truth and firmness of tone. v sings as a schoolboy recites, and the similarity would be more marked if the boy’s volce were changing.
