We C have had drought, floods, fires and the San | Francisco Board of Health, Phelan’s reform government and the Examiner as an endemic disease and now it is announced that Bryan impends once more! He is to begin in Washington, put his well- worn figures of speech on the Puget Sound market and then, beginning in Southern California, will go through the State like a liver regulator. He selects Southern California at a time when the tourist crop is harvested and gathered into barns and the people will have settled down to figure out the ei- fects of a prolonged dry spell. He does not appear las a rain-maker. He depends upon an anhydrous atmosphere and withered fields. Where nature has | foreclosed upon the ordinary fruits and farinacea there he isswith the people, to charge the famine of the fields to the party in power. The Gulf stream and the Japan current in their normal position are his enemies. His allies are the weevil and cut worm, thrips, San Jose scale, red spider and curled leaf. The Vedalia Aus- tralis he views with alarm and points with pride to the cushiony cotton scale. Though the gold standard bill is the law and our 2 per cent bonds are at a premium of 7 per cent and the money circulation per capita is greater than ever before, as is the stock of gold, he scents ruin in the air because our standard of value is not a silver dollar worth 50 cents and our bonds are not at a discount instead of a premium. Just why Colonel Bryan feels it necessary to quit his Nebraska fireside in the bracing March weather and put his gift of prophecy on tap in the cities of the | coast and plains is not explained. | We suspect that the cause may be found in the re- !ccm cynical and zoological remark of Hon. Sylvester | | Pennoyer of Oregon, a veteran in free silver politics, | who says that Bryan is using the same weapon that served Samson in his little trouble with the Philistines. Mr. Pennoyer is of the opinion that Samson was the | only artist in the use of that means of overcoming an B= this as it may, his visit will greatly refresh the weary brethren and put life and mettle in the heels of those | who run to politics. He will diagnose the trust disease and suggest him- self as the only pill which will purge it out of the na- tional constitution. - After urging on the Spanish war “because it would be good politics” and securing the | ratification of the purchase of the Philippines when Republican Senators had it beaten, he will oppose that imperialism which Senators McLaurin of South Caro- lina, Morgan of Alabama and other leaders of his party declare is the proper caper for this country. Hi organ here, the Examiner, which nailed the flag to the hours of its allotted time for duty the household will close up like a California poppy at sunset and not open its radiant life again until the next sunrise. There is much in the project to be commended. Every class of workers is entitled to some respite from work, to some time of leisure which they can call their own. One of the chief reasons why American girls dislike domestic service is the contifiuous round of work it imposes. When' the factory closes for the day the factory girl's work for that day is done and thereafter until next morning she is her own mistress. That degree of liberty is highly prized and if it can be provided for employes in domestic service there can be no question but what it will go far toward making that form of work more attractive than it is. Whether or not the improvement can be effected on a basis sufficiently economical to render it practicable remains to be seen. Mrs. Emmons Blaine will prob- ably find that she needs three sets of servants instead of two to carry out the work of her household on the eight-hour plan. She is rich and can afford it. Her neighbors who are not rich will watch her experi- ment with an attention due to something more than feminine curiosity. They will wish to see how they can adopt the system without diminishing their mil- liners’ bills or ruining their husbands. THE CLIMAX OF F@KE FIGHTING. AD any further evidence been required to con- H vince the public that the so=called sport of prize- fighting has in this city become nothing more than a fake scheme for fleecing those who are foolish enough to bet on the contests, it would have been fur- nished by the match between Stelzner and Butler un- der the management of the National Athletic Club at Woodward's Pavilion on Wednesday evening. The thing was so clearly a prearranged scheme to defraud bettors that the referee refused to stand for it, and even the club managers became ashamed. The ref- eree declared all bets off as soon as the men entered the ring, and the managers told them after the fight | that it was so palpably a fake they would receive noth- ing for their exhibition. While that is perhaps the “rawest” game of the kind ever put up in San Francisco, it does not stand alone. Againand again the deluded patrons of the ring and of pugilism have been treated to similar exhibitions and have lost their money by betting upon matches which were fixed beforehand. They were in fact on Wednesday evening more fortunate than usual, for | by the action of the referee they were saved from the loss of money bet upon the match and are victims only to the extent of the amounts paid out to enter the pavilion and see the fake. Such a fraud, coming on top of the many that pre- ceded it, caps the climax and completes the exposure of the whole rotten system of public prize-fighting. hilippines, and declared that Congress can govern external possessions without regard to the consti- | tution, will lead the claque in favor of his anti-expan- | sion oratory and the full band will respond to his ancient battle cry of 16 to 1. Meantime sober-minded people, who believe in principles and not opportunism in politics, will nore | that he attacks everything that is and makes no feas- | ible suggestion of anything better to take its place. | They will see no remedy the country over to him and Altgeld, Tillman, Croker, | Fred White, Governor Waite, General Weaver and the | crowd of anarchist agitators whose past records brand | them as incompetent in government and unsafe in politics. The steady heads and hands of the country | ‘mut( plan a way out of existing complications and | then carefully work that plan out to a finish. Oppor- | tunism never yet furnished good government to arn country, which must be the fruit of the steady and pa tient application of fixed principles to public issues. | | for any existing evil in giving Colonel Bryan admits that the constitution must be amended to cover an income tax and his anti-trust | legislation. He also adheres to the Chicago platiorm attack on the Supreme Court, which requires another |amendment to the constitution to change the method | of choosing that great bench and destroy the life ten- | ure of its members. It is plain therefore that Colonel | Bryan's politics is extra-constitutional and that every | policy of importance which he advocates is at war with our present constitutional system. It%s for our | steady people to say whether they will put into his hands the power to sew patches in the constitution | until it will look like a beggar's gaberlunzie for sale at | Rag Fair. The wisdom of the fathers who made the consti- | tution has been approved by the history of a century | and eleven years of prosperous and successful govern- | ment under it. But Colonel Bryan is not pleased with | that great fundamental law and desires to amend it | awry with its purposes. He desires to smash the watch te make it keep better time. We are persuaded that | the people p-efer to let it stand as great men made it | and not trust its amendment to the clowns and harle- quins who train in Colonel Bryan's perpetual, peri- patetic show. o Cm——— e Rudyard Kipling’'s complaint that the Afrikanders of Cape Colony who sympathize with the Boers are | not treated with sufficient severity by the British au- thorities shows a lack not only of magnanimity, but of common-sense. It is a sure thing that any harsh- ness on the part of the British officers just now would bring about a speedy uprising of all the Dutch in | South Africa and then Roberts would have to make another call for reinforcements. THE DOMESTIC SERVANT PROBLEM RS. EMMONS BLAINE, daughter of Cyrus /V\ G. McCormick, inventor of the reaping ma- chine, and daughter-in-law of James G. Blaine, has contributed to the solution of the domestic ser- vant problem an experiment which shows on her part { something of the inventive genius of her father and something of the wide-reaching diplomacy of her father-in-law. Her plan is to provide for her house- hold two sets of servants, one to report for duty at 6 a. m. and to leave at 2 p. m., the other to begin work when the first set leaves and continue until 10 p. m. Thus each set will work but eight hours a day and will have ample leisure for work, study, recreation, so- cial enjoyment or anything else in the way of occupa- tion they may choose to undertake on their own be- half. The boldness of the experiment lies in the fact that when put into operation the system will leave the household without servants from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. Should there be need for service of any kind in the house between those hours the members of the family or their guests will do it or it will remain undone. Visitors will be requested not to remain after 10 o'clock, guests’will be instructed not to call for supper or hot water or anything else aiter that hour and all babies in the mansion will be restrained from crying for nurses or for lollypop until the first set of servants come on in the morning. It appears in fact that the Emmons Blaine house- hold is to be managed something like a factory ora shop. The work of its maniiold activities is to be car- ried on strictly within business hours. Promptly | the irate Mr. Tobin on Monday. I& when the last set of servants has completed the eight It makes clear the need of the enactment of just such an ordinance as that submitted to the Supervisors by In fact it seems the promoters of the fake had come to the conclusion the Tobin ordinance will be adopted and hastily arranged | the Stelzner and Butler programme to make a clean- up before it goes into effect. Having had this much of an exposition of the tricks of the trade it is to be hoped the betting public will be sufficiently intelligent to profit by it and let that form of gambling alone. The pugs should be forced to go East or go to work. There should be no further toi- eration for them in San Francisco any more than for the Eastern contingent of track gamblers who have been trying to obtain the privilege of operating at Ingleside. Enough is as good as a feast at all times and in this particular business there has now been spread forth enough rottenness to satisfy buzzards. e e A MASSACHUSETTS ABERRATION. ROM several of our Eastern exchanges we learn that a Judge in Massachusetts recently permitted a young criminal found guilty of forgery to go free on condition that he would keep out of Massachu- setts for two years. It appears the Judge regards two years’ banishment from that commonwealth as equivalent to two years in the State prison, and his action was based upon that view of the case. Our Eastern contemporaries, published in States outside of the New England group, denounce the ac- tion of the Judge in severe terms. From the tone of their remarks we infer that they look.upon the sen- | tence of the Judge as conferring a reward upon the criminal instead of a punishment, but their main ob- jection is that Massachusetts is becoming altogether too thrifty and economical in the dealing with her criminals. Conceding that to a Boston forger an exile from the State for two years is really as painful as two years in the penitentiary, there remains in that form of punishment the objectionable element that instead of taking charge of the criminal herself for that length of time, Massachusetts puts him off upon some other State. It appears California has a particular interest in the case, for the Baltimore American, in commenting upon it, states incidentally as a minor feature of it that the young criminal’s father promised the Judge to send him to California and keep him there for the full term of the two years. Possibly the young man may turn out well and develop here a virtue he did not possess at home. Such things frequently happen. All the same, we would prefer to obtain our immi- grants in another way. International law and formal treaties forbid one Government from getting rid of its criminal class by banishing convicts to exile. in another country. We have frequently had to complain of European Gov- ernments in that respect, and now we keep a close watch to see that no nation uses any part of the United States as a dumping-ground for persons con- victed of crime. It will be a sad day if one Ameri- can State should have to stand on guard in the same way against another State. It was quite common, in- deed, at one time, for Eastern communities to rid themselves of certain kinds of criminals by permit- ting them to go free on condition they would set out for Texas or California. The customs of that day have long since been outgrown, and it is to be re- gretted a Massachusetts Judge has seen fit to under- take to revive them. Had he sentenced the forger to banishment to Great Britain or Germany, his conduct would have been the subject of an international con- troversy at once, and it would seem that there should be some law to protect California as well as foreign countries from such exhibitions of Massachusetts thrift. ————— When even the gamblers of Tanforan reach that stage where they cannot trust one another and in dis- gust at palpable dishonesty declare bets off the public ought to awake to a realization of what chance it stands in the game. ai o e Fellows who keep on playing nickel-in-the-slot machines may not be very wise, but they have a heap more sense than the guys who continue to bet on prizefights.
