The mili- tary world is asking long will it take to com- plete the assassination Chamberlain has planned, if it | take ten British soldiers ten days, with one hundred fine cannons, to capture one Boer soldier with ten poor guns? While the fight was on and Cronje stood at bay, {efending the weakest position on the whole line between Kimberley and Bloemfontein, an enor- mous overestimate of h ering was made public by the British commander. Now that concealment is no longer possible the startling fact appears that Cronje had only one man | to ten and one gun to ten, that his losses were insig- nificant, that he held his ground until some military purpose, that is yet a mystery, was served, and then surrendered his little force and supplied the British commander an opportunity to send a flamboyant dis- patch and Cecil Rhodes to disclose the sordid motive for the assassination of the two republics. And still the military world is asking if one Boer hold out ten days against ten British soldiers, in the least defensible position, how Jong will it take to complete the conquest? There is hardly a parallel in the history of cam- paigns to the address and endurance, the courage and spirit, of Cronje and his men.

THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT. feature of the approaching campaign that at- tracts much of popular interest at thistime isthat on { pOLITIC:\L conditions are such that about the of the ion of candidates for the Vice Presidency. It is conceded that McKinley will ‘be reriominated virtually by acclamatio nd that Bryan:will be again the Democratic nominee; that the platforms will be in the main the same as those of 1896, and the issues before the people not widely different. Who shall be chosen for Vice President is thus the only matter about which there is any room for speculation or a contest. As to the choice of the Bryanites of a running mate for their leader, it matters little. He had two in the last campaign and may have a hali-dozen this time if he feel like it and think it will add to his chances. The selection of the Republican candidate is a different thing altogether. That choice should be made with care, for, while the office is not one of political power, it has high prestige, and its incum- bent is, in the uncertainty of human life, close to the It is therefore of high importance that e for the Vice Presidency should be a Presidency. t the no man whom the people would not be unwilling to see in the Presidency itself. It was the custom before the war for both parties to select the candidate for the Vice Presi- dency from the South if the Presidential nominee were from the North, or from the North if the leader on the ticket were from the South. Since the war the custom has heen to select one from the East and the other from the West, for now the two great divisions | of the Union are marked by lines of longitude and | not of latitnde. Tt is right it should be so, but it is now high time for the division between East and West to be rightly drawn. The Alleghany Moun- tains are no longer a proper dividing line. President McKinley is not a* Western but an tern man. The Vice Presidency should this case, therefore, be conceded to the section of the country lying west of | the Mississippi River. Tt is time for the Greater West to be recognized in political conventions. | A strong sentiment existed in the East in favor of Roosevelt for Vice President on the McKinley ticket, but since he has emphatically declared he will not ac- cept it there has been no agreement among the East- lcm people on any candidate from that section. The | field is therefore free and open to all aspirants. Here, | then, is a good oppertunity for the Western States to A in force and the casualtiesit was | knowledge from the inside, the | unite and put forward a candidate of their own. Pacific Coast candidate for the Vice Presidency would materially strengthen the ticket, and would, more- over, be in line with that unwritten law of our poli- tics which from the foundation of the republic has conceded the Vice Presidency to that section of the Union from which the President was not chosen. e e . s EUROPEAN NAvVAL PLANS. EORGE T. GOSCHEN, First Lord of the Ad- 6 miralty, in moving the naval estimates in the Commons on Monday, stated that thetotal amount asked for is £30,000,000 (about $150,000,000). He then went on to say there is nothing sensational in the Government’s naval programme. Nothing in the estimates has been put down for the purpose of providing for the mobilization of the fleets of the em- pire, as the Ministry does not believe the expense would be warranted by the situation. The Govern- ment, however, understands that the nation expects the navy to be prepared for emergencies, and the es- timates . have beeh made accordingly. If anything should occur te render mobilization necessary Parlia- ment will be promptly asked to vote the money. After an address of that kind it was hardly needed for the orator to declare that the Hague convention is a thing of the past. When a Government asks for $150,000,000 for a naval programme in which there are to be no sensational features it is evident the trend of affairs among nations is toward anything rathei than disarmament. The peace conference has, in fact, had less effect upon Europe than the usual morning prayer has on a debate in the House of Representa- tives. 3 Of the total amount asked for the Ministry pro- | poses to expend in this and the succeeding year | £8,460,000 in the construction of new warships. Mr. | Goschen stated that during the same period the Rus- | sians would expend £4,300,000 for additional war ves- | sels, and the French £4,154,000, so that the British { naval increase would be something in excess of that | of Russia and France combined. Thus the estimate is in accord with the old policy of Great Britain to maintain a navy equal to that of any alliance likely te be formed against her. These statements of the programmes of expendi- tures for the next two years give, however, but an inadequate idea of the full extent of the naval plans now under consideration among the great nations. The German Emperor has for a Jong time been striv- ing to induce the Reichstag to consent to the expen- diture of $10,000,000 a year for the next twenty years in constructing new ships. Of course each addition | to the number of ships will entail an addition to the iax\n\xal nppmpriations for maintaining the navy, so |a vote in favor of the policy would mean a much | larger outlay for naval purposes than the $200,000,000 | which is directly asked for. The French Ministry has asked for $150,000,000 for a plan of naval expansion to cover a period of seven years, and about one-third of the amount is to be ex- | pended in new ships. The remainder is to be used |in constructing and fortifying ports in various parts | of the globe. A member of the Cabinet is quoted as having said recently: “To have a fleet is nothing. What is wanted are harbors for the fleet, dotted about | the coasts of the whole world.” | It will be seen from these estimates for naval work in France and Germany that Goschen’s estimates for Great Britain are not sensational. Imperialism costs money. It is not a cheap fad, nor can it be followed along lines of economy, or with any regard for tax- payers. In the meantime it is to be noted that France and Germany can with difficulty pay the interest on | their debts and maintain their military establish- ments, and Great Britain leaves asdozen important { domestic reforms untouched for lack of money to | defray the expense. Clearly there is nothing in im- | perialism to attract and please anything in the United States except the imagination of a jingo. Ton the lines suggested by The Call for the preservation of the Calaveras big trees. The resolution of Mr. de Vries is unanimously favored by | the House Committee on Public Lands, and the re- | port of that committee suffices to give it an impetus | that will impress both branches of Congress. | Too much credit cannot be ascribed to the ladies of ithc California Club for their remarkable intelligence and energy in planning this campaign and pushing it | to a successful conclusion. The result indicates that the club is a force that must be reckoned with in the consideration of large public questions 'related to economics and civics in this city and State. The next step, after the big trees are saved, should be the extension of the mountain forest reservation so as to include this grove. Dropping the existing reservation down about four townships will accom- plish this, and will not only merge the big trees in a | Federal reservation but will protect an-interesting and | valuable forest tract from spoliation by fire. This | tract is now covered by yellow and sugar pine forest, with much fir, cedar and other timber. The private owners of timber land need not object to the present sequestration of more forest. It in- flicts no harm on them and brings in sight a profit to them to arise from ¢o carefully lumbering their | forests as to preserve the oncoming crop of timber and give permanent value to their property. Then, too, when the Federal Government has completed its policy of reservation, it must enter upon an intelli- gent system of preservation by scientific forestry. A necessary part of such system is the harvesting of all trees that are ripe for the saw and the preservation for the future saw of the growing crop. Owners of sugar and yellow pine tracts know by experience that a percentage of the timber is found |'to be overripe; it has passed the period at which it should have been felled, and after the cost of cutting it is found to be useless for lumber. Nature in this way indicates as clearly the ripening of trees as she does that of grain or fruit. Therefore those who make and those who use lumber should be made to understand that scientific forestry does riot mean the prohibition of the use of timber when it is in its best condition for conversion to_the needs of man, but di- rectly requires such use, and provides for a perma- nent supply by treating the forests as a constantly growing crop. P To destroy all future crops in the harvesting of one is as wasteful and foolish as it would be for an orchardist in the Santa Clara Valley to chop down all his prune trees for the sake of getting this year's crop off them conveniently. These simple principles of forestry should be kept in mind, and there will be nowhere any opposition to forest reservations, nor to their proper administration which will secure their permanence. ———— Since some of the worthy members of the Board of Supervisors favor a re-establishment of the pool- rooms it is natural that they should also favor shut- ting off the street lights. Somebody must pay for the existence of the gambling dens, and the money can be secured better in the dark than in the light. SAVING THE TREES.
