Kreling, whose body was washed up on the sands of the Berkeley shore a week ago yesterday. No motive can be assigned for suicide, and that theory has been practically abandoned by the relatives of the deceased. The fact that he was known to have had considerable money, some valuable papers and a gold watch on his person when he last was seen on the morning before his remains were found, which were missing when the body was examined at the Berkeley morgue, adds some strength to the suspicion that the old man met with foul play. The supposition that he was in a boat with John Uhlberg, the tailor, whose lifeless remains were found the night previous, near the spot where Kreling’s body went ashore, and that there is some connection between the two mysterious Geaths is still being worked upon by the authorities of the college town, but there is apparently little upon which' to base their suspicions. Kreling is known to have been afraid of the water. The story is told that while members of his family were interested in the Casino, at the park, he would not even ride in the skiff that went around! the shallow canal. From this it may be presumed that if he was in a small boat with Uhlberg, it was not by his volun- tary act. The half-filled whisky flask found in his coat pocket adds some to the mys- tery, as Kreling never drank whisky. When the body was found the coat was buttoned, as it was the custom of the de- ceased to wear it. If robbery was the motive of his taking off it is hardly to be supposed that the thugs would have SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1900.

Still, his watch, all but thirty cents of his money and his papers are gone. Mrs. John Kreling, daughter-in-law of the deceased, Insists that he was put out of the way for a purpose. She scoffs the idea of suicide or accident. She has cared for the old man since 1894. The assertion that he was wealthy is denied by her. “Mr. Kreling once had considerable money,” she stated yesterday, “but he lost nearly all of it through litigation with members of his family. He intended to go Bast to sell the original Kreling homestead near Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N. Y. The day before he disappeared he inquired at the Santa Fe office for a ticket, but could not come to terms. Fri- day afternoon he told me that he intend- ed to leave the next day and said he had his ticket in his inside pocket, although we have been unable to locate the office where he purchased it.” So far as known Kreling was last seen alive at the California Cafe between 9 and 10 o'clock Saturday morning. a week ago. From that time his relatives have been unable to get a trace of his move- ments. The officials of the Berkeley branch Morgue are of the opinion that Mr. Kre- ling came_to his death from accident. The wound on his head is only a slight abra- sion of the skin, such as might have been caused by the body coming in contact with the piling of a wharf or where it beat upon the sands. Deputy Coroner Streightiff said vesterday that there were no marks on the body which Indicated violence. » “I had the body carefully examined, said Mr. Streightiff, “and there are some | marks Zhere the body beat upon the sands béfore it was taken from the water. There are no other marks and the vio- lence theory cannot stand. I am still of the opinfon that Mr. Kreling was in the boat which was seen flying signals of dis- tress off West Berkeley on Saturday. I have used every endeavor to trace that boat, but without result.” 'he inquest will be held to-day.

Arrangements have been made to put up a large electric power plant in El Dorado County, at the junction of Rock Creek and The water for the ower will be obtained from the American iver. The plant will be situated about three miles from Placerville. The plan is to supply power to the entire county at a price that will enable some disused mines to resume work. The Granite Hill mine in Nevada County | has been sold to the North Star Mining Company. The price paid was $35,000. A large cyanide plant is planned for the Cieveland mines in Shasta County. It is also proposed to put in the latest electro- Iytic systems and discard the use of stamps. The capacity of the proposed plant is 150 tons per day. The old Banner mine in Nevada County has been bonded by San Francisco and Stockton parties and the new company has begun operations preparatory to the putting in of a hoist, pump and other necessary_things.

The Blg Oak Mining Company has been incorporated at Fresno with capital stock authorized at $100,000. to succeeed the Tuolumne Mother Lode Company. » An interesting account of placer mining in Blue Bear Valley, Colorado, by the Oro Grande Mining Company is thus given: “The company has ten miles of placer ground, from_Breckenridge to Dillon, and | is using the Evans hydraulic elevator sys- tem for removing gravel and pay dirt. The water is brought down from the pen stock in a 30-inch pipe split into several nozzles at the lower end. These play against the gravel bank, and by two other 2-inch nozzles playing into a 20-inch pipe running from the bottom of the pit up into a farge 4-foot flume the sand, gravel and smaller rocks are carried up into the flume, where the lighter gold is caught in the riffles, as in_ordinary ground sluicing. The water in this flume is the same as | that used for breaking down the gravel, | an S-inch pipe extending up alongside the | larger pipe. taking the water out of the pit as rapidly as it enters by a similar method to that used in elevating the dirt. The larger rocks are raised by an electric elevator, the electric power being gen- erated by the fall from the penstock to the bottom of the gulch. The lower por- tion of the gravel and the bedrock seams will be worked out by hand and run through a bedrock flume in the bottom of the pit Kokomo, Colo., finds it impossible to get enough cars to carry the ore that is pro- duced. The Mining Press has a review of the Government requirements concerning dredging for gold at Nome and other alien mining locations. Some of the facts will interest those who are expecting to go north soon. As to dredging, a Govern- ment permit is required to mine at any United States int lving within three miles seaward from low water mark. Such permit must be procured from Secretary of War Root, the War Department hav- ing jurisdiction over the navigable wa- ters and cofist line of the United States. Several such permits have already been granted and more applications are on file. One license issued to a deputy auditor in the State Department—George W. East- erly—gives him exclusive concession to operate dredgers 2000 feet outside low wa- ter mark for a stretch of two miles along the Cape Nome coast. It seems to be a case of first come first served. Permits are only required of or by those who want to use mining machinery. bi As to allen mining locations, the United States law is that no one not a citizen of the United States, or who has not de- clared his intention of becoming a citizen, can lawfully locate a mining eclaim in TUnited States territory. Of course it fol- lows that any one making such location in ignorance or deflance of this law cannot convey legal title to the claim, and any one buying such location under those cori- ditions_has no lawful claim to the prop- erty.

POLITICAL PARTIES. Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. IV.—THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING. (1817-1825.) BY JESSE_)!:}_CY, LL. D. Disappearance of Partisanship. The close of the war of 1812, followed as it was by the removal of burdensome re- strictions upon trade and the revival of business, inaugurated a period of eight years which has been called the era of good feeling because of the lack of partl- san strife which characterized it. Barren as it has seemed to some of our ablest historians, the time is memorable as marking the disappearance of the early political issues and the rise of other questions which were to influence pro- foundly the future destiny of the repub- lic. Though party conflict was wanting, yet within this brief space may be found the seeds or the young growing plants of all the more important after-party divis- fons and struggles. The far-sighted Jefferson had long be- fore predicted that state of political af- fairs which now ensued. As early as 1501 he had repeatedly mentioned in his corre- spondence his expectation that the mass of the Federalist party would adopt repub- lican principles and join the Republican party—with the exception, always, of the lnes faded away. As never before the people felt themselves a nation. gns of the new spirit were seen in the system of internal improvements undertaken at th national cost, In certain decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, which established the supremacy of that court over State judiciaries in Fede questions, and in the re-establishment of the national bank. The tide of foreign Immigrati now began to flow contrib strengthen the national spirit in Northern States, to which it was almost wholly confined. How profoundly this was to affect public feeling was not at first perceived, but as years passed and the sectional rift between North and South grew wider the influence of the continued and ever more copious flow of forelgn population into the Northern States became clear. To a foreign immi- grant accustomed to centralized govern- ment, the country to which he came was one. Of the separate States as such he knew little and for them cared less. The immigration of these early years was rap- idly absorbed into the native population and worked in a single generation a vast effect upon the national sentiment, ex- cept in the South, where, wanting such nationalizing ald. the doctrine of “States’ rights” grew to inordinant and fatal pro- portions. The promulgation of the famous ‘“Mon- roe doctrine” in the President’'s message of 1823 doubtless contributed something to which L e e e e S e e S S S et s e R A S e Federalist leaders whom he believed to be | | monarchists at heart and wholly incorri- gible. He also clearly foresaw that when | this should take place division within the | Republican party itself was certain to fol- low. Writing in May, 1502, he says: “We | shall now be so strong that we shall cer- | tainly split again, for freemen thinking | differently, and speaking and acting as they think, will form into classes of sen- timent. But it must be under another name. That of Federalism has become so odious that no party can rise under it.” During the era of good feeling the fed- eralist party, utterly discredited and de- moralized, did indeed disappear not only from national politics, but from State pol- itics as well, though in a few States it controlled State elections until after 1820— years after it was quite dead as a nation- al party. Changes in the Republican Party. This absorption of Federalism was at- tended by the appearance of a more lb- eral form of democratic doctrine in the old Democratic-Republican party. The ractical exigencies which had arisen dur- Png the years of Republican domination had led the party chiefs to acts incon- sistent with that strict construction of the constftution which was théoretically thelr fundamental basis of party union. Such were the purchage of Louisiana in 1803 and the embargo act of 1807, with oth- er measures believed to be recessitated by the unfriendly conduct of foreign na- Such s0 were the tariff of 1516 and the revival of the national bank—a purely Federalist scheme in its origin and | strongly opposed by Jefferson as uncon- stitutional. A young Republicanism grew up with Henry Clay as its natural leader, but embracing many former Federalists. It appropriated certain of the Federaiist doctrines and incorporated them into that modified democracy which was the out- growth of practical experience. Jefferson's political sagacity was able to penetrate the vell of delusive harmony | which delighted the popular mind. From | his retirement at Monticello he wrote to Gallatin in October, 1822: ““The same parties exist now as ever did. No longer, indeed, under the name of Re- publicans and Federalists. The latter name was extinguished in the battle of New leans. Those who wore it, finding mon- archism a desperate wish in this country, are rallying to what they deem the next best int, a consolidated government. Although this is not avowed—as that of | monarchism, you know. never was—it ex- | ists decidedly, and is the true key to the debates in Congress, wherein you see many calling themselves Republicans preaching the rankest doctrines of the old Federalists.” President Monroe. James Monroe of Virginia, who had been an unsuccessful candidate for the Presi- dency in 1808, succeeded to that office in 1817. He had been for yvears the leading member of Madison's Cabinet. His large experience in practical administration and wide acquaintance with public affairs in both hemispheres combined with a strength of character and dignity of man- | ner, commanded for him the respect and confidence of the whole le. is qual- ities were solid rather than brilllant. Less conservative than Madison, he was still not extreme in his views, though more positively democratic. He regarded him- self as the head of the nation, not of a arty. Indeed, unlike Jefferson and Adams, g‘e seemed to have looked for the final and permanent disappearance of partles and the fusion of the whole people in a single-hearted devotion to the “principles of union and free government.” He con- troverted the views of many distinguished statesmen that free governments cannot exist without parties. That they had al- w',f! ‘been found in the ancient republices nd in England he believed to be due to ‘certain defects of those governments,"” rather than to the constitution of human nature; and he was confldent “that we have happily avoided those defects in our system.” t was one of the avowed objects of his officlal career “to conciliate the people of this union with one another and quench the ardor of party spirit.” Development of the Country. ‘Monroe's two administrations covered a riod of tranquil and prosperous growth ?:r the country. Happy In their release from the alarms of war and their freedom from the irritations of factional strife, the people gladly devoted themselves to the cultivation of the arts of peace. Popula- tion was_increasing rapidly. Manufac- tures in New Englar . were assuming im- portant proportions under the first of the tariff acts designed to favor the produc- tion of textile goods. Already a strong movement of population westward had set in, tly accelerated by the in use of steamboats upon inland waters, which not only made travel easier but gave access to market for the cultural products of the new lands. New States sought ldmls!lxn to the Union. Missis- sippl, Illinois, Alabama, Maine and Mis- souri were ail admitted during Monroe's term of office. The last was accompanied by the Missouri compromise, of which we were to hear much in after years. The New National Spirit. Not until the peace with England after the war of 1812 was there a general feel- ing that a real and permanent indepen- dence of the mother country had been se- cured.

The establishment of a national bank was a matter which sharply divided th parves in \.ashington's first admi - tion, the debate turning upon opposing views of the constitution.

Each States possessed a sea- coast, re were soon Representa- tives 'in Congress from interior States baving no coast line to be improved and their broader views as to internal im- provements began to permeate the opin- fons of the general Government. As early as 1806 a plan for buflding the great Cum- berland turnpike road from the Potomac to the Ohio River at national expense was brought forward along with a bill for a roaG across the State of Georgia toward New Orleans. Numerous other bills for similar purposes were introduced but had nearly all proved abortive. The constitu- tionality of such use of Federal funds was constantly called in question, althgugh statesmen of all parties admitted its de- sirability. Stimulated by causes suggested above, popular attention was directed in a very decided manner to the subject of internal improvements during Madison's second term. A bill appropriating money “for constructing roads and canals and im- proving the navigation of water courses' ssed both houses of Congress in 1817, ut_was vetoed by the President ceeding the constitutional powers o ess.

President Monroe re- iterated the view of Madison in his first annual message. but his opinions under- went some modification in the course of a few years. for in 1822 he declared that Congress had power to extend public funds at its discretion. being bound, how- ever, to choose such objects as shonld ba of general utility. And he held that it was “not the provinee of the President to sit in judgment upon its selections.”™ Still an amendment to the constitution was in his opinion needful before Congress could enter upon a general system of internal improvements. The policy to which Mon- roe now seemed committed was warmly approved by his successor, John Quiney Adams. Act followed act in quick suc- cession for carrying it into practical oper- atlon.
