Upon the graves of the dead flowgrs will be strewn, and yet it will not be to them alone the hearts of the people will do reverence to-day, for the surviving veterans of the Grand Army, now so rapidly thinning in its ranks, will be hailed with loyalty, and to the JOHN D.

It is in some respects to be regretted that change should come over the minds of the people in fficir attitude toward the observance of the day.

THE ARMING OF GREAT BRITAIN. | F Lord Salisbury’s recent speech before: the O Primrose League the part which attracted the most attention in Great Britain and most " deeply impressed the people there was that in which | he spoke of dangers threatening not only the em- pire but the British Isles themselves, and emphatically declared that the people must be armed and prepared to resist invasion. Of the attack on Ireland, which was the salient feature of the speech from our point | of view, comparatively little notice has been taken b the British press. A few words of condemnation of the utierance, on the ground of their injustice to Ire- land, were expressed on the day following the speech, but that portion of the address was then dismissed, {and ever since the discussion upon it has turned on | the warning of danger and the cry for the arming oi the people. Salisbury was not bold enough to propose cohscrip- tion or a general drilling of the whole male popula- tion of the British islands, as is done among the na- tions of continental Europe. He contented himself with urging the“formation of rifle clubs through | which all classes of the people would be taught to use | arms in defense of the country should need be. He is quoted as saying: “Is it not possible for the members of the Primrose League, each in his own district, to do what he can to foster the creation of rifle clubs? And by rifle { clubs what I mean is rot clubs where a man must go once in two months to the country town to take part in a competition—that will do very little for the de- fense of the country—but what I want is that, without | stirring from their homes, the people of this country shall be able to practice rifle shooting, so that when the danger comes this shall be a force which no enemy could despise.” The British have for so long a time deemed their island safe from invasion, since the navy is the strong- ‘est in Europe, that the serious warning from the Prime Minister of a possible invading army has nat- urally caused no little dgitation. It appears there is now menacing the country a danger so great that the navy cannot be relied upon as a sure protection against it. | tion, for no one continental power could overcome the British fleets that guard the channel. From what source the menace comes Salisbury gave no intima- tion, but it is evident he was not speaking idly, but from a sincere conviction that the British must pre- pare for war at close quarters and be ready to fight for their homes at their very doors. , Whether rifle clubs will be sufficient to fit a popu- lation to defend itself against an invasion by.a trained European army may well be questioned. Any sug- gestion of universal military service, however, would be rejected at once by the people, ‘and the plan of arming proposed is perhaps the only one that would be received with favor. Moreover, there is to be said in its favor that it would certainly increase the fighting power of the people, and to that extent render inva- sion more dangerous and therefore less likely to be undertaken. Salisbury’s concluding words on the subject were: | “My feeling is strong that we are in danger when this present war has passed by of forgetting its anx- iety and the lessons which it has taught us. It is for you to struggle against that tendency and to urge upon all whom you know the necessity of placing | ourselves in the position of an armed nation, such a nation, for instance, as the Swiss are, where the strength of the country is sought not in the bril- Iiancy of negotiations, not in its military organization, but in the spirit of and the prepa.ation of those who | | love their country and are prepared to die for it.” |EASTERN IGNORANCE OF THE WEST. | ONGRESSMAN JONES of Washington re- :C cently took occasion to deliver in the House | of Representatives a speech containing an elaborate description of Washington, with a state- ment of its resources and its prospects. B¥ way of explaining why he made a speech on such a subject Mr. Jones gave some illustrations of the ignorance of Eastern Congressmen concerning this section of the United States, and in doing so amply justified him- self in taking up the time of the House and the pages of the Congressional Record in giving information | concerning his State. | “While we have a climate milder in winter and | cooler in summer than Washington City,” he said, “men have asked me if it is possible to enjoy one- self in such a high latitude. While we produce all | sorts of agricultural products, men have wondered how we can afford to live there and buy things from the East. While we have on Puget Sound the best and largest Government dock on the Pacific, high officials of the Government have refused to allow transports to come to Puget Sound because they could not be docked. While Puget Sound is con- nected with the Pacific Ocean by a channel from | three to twelve miles wide, and from 300 to 6oo feet deep, a great statesman of our country asked if there were ani' channel by which large vessels could reach the sea. Such statements sound like satire, and yet they are but a plain story of the ignorance of Western con- ditions which prevails in the East even among men who are sufficiently intelligent to be elected to Con- Mr. Jones confined his citations to examples of ig- norance displayed concerning his own State, but had he chosen he could have furnished just as many of an fequal lack of information concerning - Oregon or | California. It is due to this ignorance on the part of officials at Washington that so much difficulty is experienced in every effort made to obtain reasonable appro- priations for Pacific Coast improvements. To the ! same fact is due the lack of a larger immigration of | home-seekers to this coast. Washington and Oregon are supposed to be as bleak and inhospitable as Maine or New Hampshire, and California is believed to be as hot and unhealthy as Florida or Mexico. Mr. Jones was quite right in furnishing Congress with a geographical, industrial and commercial description of Washington, and his only error lay in the neglect to include the whole Pacific Coast in the 'scope of his lesson. One at least of the many noblemen who have re- cently come among us will not leave us for some time. He is that young, aristocratic Austrian who turned footpad and was sentenced the other day to reflect for eight years in San Quentin prison. Tllinois desires ex-Governor Fifer, nominated for Vice President on the McKinley ticket, and inasmuch as the advance agent of prosperity is something of a drummer for good times a Fifer would not be a bad running mate for him, A local lawyer offers a suggestion that the Phelan flag be exempt from taxation. The attorney probably believes that the flag is not the only Phelan property which escapes its municipal burden. That means, of course, a powerful coali- | gress or to be appointed to governmental positions. | FATHER YORKES POSITION DITOR THE CALL—Dear Sir: It is due to President Wheeler and to President Jordan, as well as to the subject itself, that I should restate in writing over my name the proposi- tions I formulated in my speech at St. Mary's College commencement. With all the good will in the world a reporter who gives a condensed account of an ad- dress must be responsible for some inac- curacles. The question of education Is so jmportant and the movements which I have criticized are so dangerous that I may be pardoned for wishing to set forth | my arguments at greater length and in more precise form. We are face to face with a very peculiar condition of educa- tional affairs, and it behooves every citi- zen of every class and of every creed to give that condition his best atfention. gl R Sl of Education in This State. In speaking, to the graduating class of St. Mary's College I stated that there was a deliberate attempt making to create a monopoly of education in this State. The arguments I used were founded on the discussions as to the value of the so-called smaller college as distinguished from the so-called universities; on the attitude of the State institution at Berke- ley to Catholics and on certain proposals emanating from those who have at pres- ent control of the schools in the city and county of San Francisco. President Whee{er and President Jordan are mis- taken when they suppose that T am at- tacking the public school system or that I am upholding education given under re- ligious auspices as against education iven under purrl{ sectlar auspices. This ?s another question altogether. 1 have said nothing about it. intend to say nothing about it. I am critieizing not the ON THE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION ' Restatement of His Argument in His Address Before St. Mary's College Graduates, in Which He Stated There Was a Deliberate Attempt Making to Create a Monopoly £ education, but the admin- fettation of that system. To make such criticisms I have as much right as Presi- dent Wheeler, as President Jordan or as any one else.

On the attitude of the State University toward Catholics. III. On the schemes of the San Francisco School Board. PETER C. YORKE. St. Peter’s Church, San Francisco, May 29, 1900.

Expert Willlams submitted a report to the Supervisors’ Finance Committee yves- terday in which he figures out that there will be a surplus of §12,293 80 in the muni- cipal funds at the end of the/fiscal year. Williams claims that receipts from cer- tain sources make this possible, but that thers will be a surplus only if the St. Mary's Park fund is devoted to the pay- ment of other claims. Auditor Wells has estimated that there will be a deficit of about $60.000 if the park funds are utilized, so Wiiliams' report is interesting on that account. The report follow: Cash on hand.
