OLONEL BRYAN has striven with all the C power of speech which he possesses and operates untrammeled by ideas, to establish the | statement that trusts flourish only under Republican administrations and are invented and fostered by Re- publicans and for R blicans. He has tried to es- tablish the wickedness of trusts and to make it ap- pear that no Democrat will have anything to do with those “criminal combinations, except to go out and aestroy them, 2s David did Goliath of Gath. In this work Colonel Bryan has been ably seconded Mr. W. R. Hearst, who divides his time between | i of mank Mr. Hearst awoke from a deep dream of ce of the white ribbon in the universal buttonhole of the world, to hear that with theapproach of hot weather an ice trust had been formed to make it warm for the poor. Immediately this purist and philanthropist hurried to his broker and bought into the ice trust, in ofder that as a stockholder he might the books and show that President McKinley, Senator Hanna angl other leading Republicans were rigeration of the coming summer. zot his block of stock he besought hzppines One d; the prevaler ering the When Mr. Hearst a court to judicially turn over the ice trust chip and expose to the world's scorn the Republican bugs thereunder. A court proceeded to turn over the chip, and lo! there was Croker, Van Wyck and a wrig- gling mass of Tammany Democrats, evéry one with an anti-trust plank for the Kansas City platiorm in his hand and trust dividends in his pocket! It was a sad disappointment, whichever way you looked at it. Tammany is mad clear through and threatens to retaliate by showing that the Hearst es- m which comes the revenue to support the st crusade of the Journal and Examiner, is ested in the copper trust, and sold part of holdings to Rothschiid for the purpose of organizing that metallic combination. Be this as it m anger in the camp and Colonel Bryan's trusted anti-trust lieutenants are in doubt whether to hold on to their dividends or to the prospects of po- tate, its coppe: , there is litical promotion.

The Republicans in Congress have proposed an amendment to the Federal constitution giving Con- gress jurisdiction over trusts and trade combinations without abating or limiting any existing State juris- it is a question of interstate commerce its prevention or regulation is of necessity a Federal concern, and this amendment should pass in order, that a curb may soon be put upon an injurious sys- tem.

But these politicians will be coldly undeceived. The atmosphere of next November will need no re- frigeration fof them by Mr. Croker, the Democratic iceman. What ills there are Republicans are com- petent to correct. The reform of them does not re- quire that our currency be debased. the public credit destroyed, private prosperity ruined and labor starved. | Colonel Bryan's programme is one of universal de- structian of all that i%, in order that he may destroy the gold standard, raise interest, debase all our cur- rency to the silver par, and extend the constitution to the Philippines! The price asked ‘is too high. The country can get less harm at a lower figure. HILE Congress has not at this session THE WORK OF THE SESSION. achieved all the public hoped for, it has done chnugh to merit the commendation of the peo- ple and to justify Republican conventions in “point- ing with pride” to its record as an evidence of the fidelity with which the representatives of the party carry out when in office the pledges made in the plat- ferms. Washington authorities state that this sessicn Congress has been the busiest in many years, and zlthough it has failed to pass the Nicaragua canal bill, the merchant m e biil, or to revise the war revenue t it has nevertheless enacted such an amount of beneficial legislation 2s to make the record of the ses- sion stand well in comparison with that of the most energetic Congress. The most important act of the session is of course the passage of the currency and banking bill, which has gone far toward scttling all the financial problems of the country. In fact, the bill would have pletely settled such problems were it not that the prominence of Bryan as the Presidential candidate of one of the great parties of the people continues to menace the sound money policy of the Government and compels further attention to financial issues. One of the best features of the bili is that which | provides for an increase of small banks, so that even in the smaller towns and villages gf the country the people may have the advantage of banking facilities. ! The results of this feature of the act have thus far "Lieen excellent. The report of the Comptroller of the Currency recently published gives the figures of the total applications for new bank charters during the first two months of the existence of the law. It ap- pears that in all there have been 228 of these for banks ith a capital of less than $50,000 each, making the total capital $5.905.000. 'Within the same time there were received applications for sixty banks with a capi- tal of more than $50,000 each, bringing the total of capital up to $7,205,000. | While the figures do not show as large an incerase in banking facilities as was expected, they are never- theless an evidence of the beneficial effect of the bill. Since so much in the way of additions to the banks of the country has been attained within the first two months of the operagjon of the law, during the spring season of a Presidential election year, when capitalists are timid about undertaking new enterprises, it is a fair presumption that in due time the law will provide all sections of the country with ample banks for the transaction of business. Hardly less important than the financial measures | of the session were those dealing with Hawaii and . Porto Rico. In legislating for the islands Congress had to deal with new problems, and had almost noth- ing in the way of precedent to serve as a guide in " solving them. To render the task of legislation more | difficult, considerable differences of opinion existed e ing virtue and taking care of the material | to | They must think that a | an empty one was | com- | among Republicans themselves as to the policy that should be pursued in dealing with them. The fact that such differences were harmonized, and that bills pro- viding governments for both Hawaii and Porto | Rico were enacted with no factional disturb- ances in the party, is itself a striking proof of the capacity of the Republican party to administer public affairs. When the record of the party in that respect is contrasted with the wrangling and muddling of the Democratic majority during Cleveland’s first term, it will be seen that another proof has been furnished that Democracy is the party | of demagogy, and Republicanism is the party of legis- lation. The people can be safely intrusted to draw from the contrast a wise conclusion as to which party shall be chosen at the coming election to 'carry on the | Government hereafter. B WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. IN SAN FRANCISCO. | o il REPORTS from Washington announce that Brigadier General Greely, chief signal officer, has directed the establishment of wireless teleg-. | raphy in this harbor and in Borto Rico and the Phil- ippines. The system is to be applied Here to connect | the various points at which guns are located, so that | prompt and sure communication between them may be had at all times. It is further announced that the system may shortly be used in New York harbor, since it has been found that the cables in the bay are sults than cables. The establishment of a Government system of wire- less telegraphy in San Francisco will be something | new for the Government, but not for the city. The | Call has already .made use of wireless telegraphy and | proven its efficiency. It will be remembered that when the transport bearing home from the Philippines the California Volunteers arrived here the first in- formation of her appearance off the heads was given by The Call, it having been transmitted to The Call building by wireless telegraphy from a vessel sta- tioned at sea and on the lookout for the transport. | would be extensively used. So remarkable, @ow- ever, did the feat scem at the time that many persons doubted whether the system would ever be extensively used. It was not until the splen- did reports obtained by The Call of the international yacht race off New York harbor showed that thou- sands of words could be sent across wide stretches of water by wireless telegraphy that the public realized that a new system of transmitting dispatches had been devised, and that it would ere long be in general use. Since the yacht race the Government has taken up the system and made elaborate experiments with it, and the results are disclosed in the announcement that wireless telegraphy is to be made use of here and elsewhere. Marconi will never again be referred to nal renew its assertions that wireless telegraphy is a fake and a fraud” en that paper has learned some- | thing since the first record-making feat of The Call with wireless telegraphy startled the world with a demonstration of what the system can accomplish. When the Government system is put into operation more than a casual comment. it will hardly occasi marvel, as it was when The Call first demonstrated the arrival of the California Volunteers, but has now become one of the recognized methods of telegraph- ing. So rapidly does the advance of science and in- vention go forward in our time. [ WAITING FOR OTHERS TO AcCT. DISPATCH from London giving account of the proceedings in Parliament stated a few days ago that when James MacKenzie, Con- servative member for Cardi Indian famine and pointed out that the Indian Gov- ernment appears unable to cope with it, Lord George Hamilton, Secretary for India, replied “that in his opinion an appeal to the British exchequer now would only dry up the springs of private charitable contribu- tions.” There is something very like infamy in that proposi- tion. When a rich and powerful Government de- liberately withholds help from the sufferers of a fam- ine so terrible as that which prevails over a large part of India, with the object of forcing humane people to undertake relief by private contributions, the action | is about as infamous as governmental action ever be- comes. Millions of the people of India are starving. Their countrymen are poor. Their national a¥airs are in the hands of British administrators. They cannot levy taxes for themselves nor disburse the revenues they pay into their treasury. Upon British officials they must rely, and row the Minister of State who is responsible for Indian affairs glibly informs Parli; ment and the world that the imperial Government will not ask an appropriation for the starving millions be- cause such an appropriation would “dry up the springs of private charitable contributions.” and women are doing what they can to raise money to peals are made to the generous day after day, and the responses have been prompt and liberal. Vast quan- tributed by the American people, and the aggregate relief given in that way has been great. Still it is not equal to the need. A population larger than that of the United States is in want of the necgssaries of life. They are dying by thousands every day, amid all forms of wretchedness and misery. ~ The utmost powers of civilization exerted to the fullest could hardly minister to the wants of all the sufferers, and in the face of that fact the Secretary for India op- poses a grant of relief from the British exchequer because it would dry up charity. The policy thus announced is something more than inhumanity. Tt is a violation of a plain duty impera- tive in its nature. So far as any Government is re- sponsible for the conditions of the people under its control, the Government of Great Britain is respon- sible for the conditions in India. It has established over those people an absolute paternalism, so far as subjection and restriction are concerned, for it allows them little or no voice in the. direction of their af- fairs, and consequently it owes them something of 2 paternal care for their welfare and their lives. Great Britain is rich. There is no lack of money in her ex- chequer. When the Government recently asked for a war loan the capitalists of the world offered in the aggregate more. than ten times what was asked for. Therefore if the British Ministry desire to relieve In- dia, it can do so without trouble. Tt prefers, however,” to wait. It does not intend to dry up that spring of private charity which is so abundantly flowing from the United States. The boy orator will be to his party this year leader, platform, spellbinder, procession and brass band, all in one. 7 liable to be cut by shipping, and, moreover, experi- | ments show that wireless telegraphy gives better re- | its usefulness to journzlism by using it to announce | buy food and supplies for the Indian sufferers.

[MINISTERS DISCUSSED . | THEOLOGICAL SUBJECTS 1Book Concern to Be Turned Over to 1\ a Special Commission of Methodists. Rey. James H. N. Willlams of Napa read a paper at the Methodist ministers’ meeting yesterday morning on “The In- fluence of Skepticism on Character.” In part he sald: We belleve it would be ruinous to moral character to give up our faith in Christianity, because of the manner in which morals are treated by secular schools. ‘The ten com- | mandments, or moral law, are regarded by all | Christlans and Jews as of very great import- ance, but in the minds and teachings of mod- | ern skeptics the ten commandments as a code of morals are considered very inferior. I con- tend that the moral and intellectual are not | one, but distinet and independent. Undoubt- igdly skeptics would lke to establish thelr oneness. | The ‘names of the gentlemen who will | compose the commission to look after the | interests of the Book Concern were read |at the meeting. They are: Rolla V. Watt, °. B, Perkins, I. J. Truman, Rev. J. N. | Beard and Rev. E. R. Dille, representing the Northern Conference, and A. J. Wal- lace and T. C. Miller of the Southern Con. ference. The Book Concern will pass into the hands of the commission on July 1. The sum of §7500 a year, which is equiva- lent to the annual losses of the Book Con- {ernfllorfl:he past l‘hree years, will be al- ower e commission as a margt cover a deficit. . Beard, after reading the list of names, remarked that the Book Concern had not been sufficiently in touch with the ministers and congregations. He said he was in favor of local contrel. He also said that fifteen out of sixteen delegates to the General Conference signed a memorial asking that body to make such a change, The general sa'e of books will be s!ops-‘ and the busincss will be devoted to dis- ggll‘:lx of church periodicals and hymn oks. | v | _Rev.
