HE old Democracy was quite well satisfied with Tlhe constitution of the United States. But the new Democracy has announced principles which don't fit the fundamental law. It regards the constitution as a defective instrument and demands that it be changed. The Chicago platform, which Colonel Bryan declares must stand forever as an ex- | pression of the principles of the party, requires the amendment of the constitution in respect to the ap- pointment and tenure of Federal Judges, and as to the freedom of contract and the power of the courts. Since then Colone! Bryan has demanded an anti-trust amendment, and the party at Sacramento this week declares for two more amendments. If the makers of the constitution were alive they ought to be ashamed of themselves for failing to make the constitution suit Colonel Bryan and his new party. The Sacramento platform is something of a cu- riosity. It is dissatisfied with the constitution, but takes the San Francisco Examiner and New York Journal, without amendment, and regards Sillybilly Hearst's election as president of a political club as de- serving of special mention. One searches it vainly for any approval of a single policy or principle upon which Democracy stood It declares that the constitution fol- lows the flag. The treaty of Paris, indorsed by Bryan and ratified by the vote of his supporters in the Sen- ate, put the flag in the Philippines, and Sillybilly Hearst declared that it must be “nailed” thereto. He also declared in his paper that Congress could govern such possessions regardless of the constitution and Now he is indorsed in a platform which denounces ‘“the doctrine that an executive or a Congress created and limited by the constitution can exercise lawful authority beyond that constitution.” But that was just what Silly- billy said they could do and should do, aiter nailing the flag to the Philippines! Every :gate to that conventiom\ who indorsed Hearst's papers for their “able efforts in advocating Democratic should be sentenced to sit down and explain the Democracy of flag-nailing and government outside the constitution, as advocated by those same papers.

FRANCISCO ¢ Y all right-thinking people Judge Morrow’s de- B cision upon the validity of the act of the Board of Health in quarantining Chinatown will be accepted as the final word upon that issue. The quarantine is held to have been an unwarrantable exercise of police power, to have been unjustly ad- ministered and uncalled for. Such is the judgment pronounced after a full hearing of all that the Board of Health and its attorneys could say in defense. It is reported that the Board of Health will under- take to justify the establishment of the quarantine, and to that end will make public what the board re- gards as evidences of the existence of bubonic plague in the city. It is to be hoped nothing of the kind will be done. Of what avail will it be to submit evidence now, when none was submitted to the court? What will it profit the members of the board to make any sort of a showing in a pamphlet or a newspaper, when the records of the court show that it made none under judicial investigation? The time for the board to make its defense, if it had any defense, has gone by. The issue has been judicially closed. The board can hardly expect to get permission to re-establish the ‘quarantine by reopen- ing the case. All that could be achieved would be further contention, controversy and notoriety, with | the result of prolonging and increasing the ill effects of the scare, which have been already bad enough. Can any member of the board even to himself jus- tify any action designed to keep up the scare to the further injury of the city? Is it not time to quit? From first to last the issue has been mismanaged by the board. A continental sensation was made out of a situation which centained few elements of danger even to Chinatown itself. After the fullest examina- tion Dr. Shrady could find no living case of bubonic | plague in the city, and but few cases of persons who had died from the disease. Before the courts no evi- dence sufficient to convince the Judges of the exist- ence of the plague were submitted. Upon so small a foundation as that was established a quarantine | which inflicted heavy loss upon Chinese merchants, gave the city a bad name throughout the world, led to serious restrictions upon our trade, and at one | time menaced the welfare of all. | after it has been prepared for sale. added | So long as there was any promise of good in the | action of the board there was a considerable support given to its efforts, but now there is nothing that can be attained in the way of good by continuing the sensation. All differences of opinion that remain may well be tolerated without further controversy. Let Judge Morrow's decision stand as the final word on the subject. Let us hear no more of it. THE GERMAN MEAT BILL. ARON HERMANN, agricultural expert of the German embassy at Washington, is reported to have given of the meat bill recently passed by the Reichstag an explanation which sounds reasonable and gives promise that th& operation of the act will not be so prejudicial to American trade as has been feared. His statement is to the effect that the meas- ure is simply a pure food law and is not designed to exclude any considerable amount of American goods. According to the Baron each of the states in the German empire and several of the largér cities have had laws regulating the trade in foodstuffs, and these laws have been conflicting in many points. edy the evils arising from such conflicts the new law has been enacted providipg a uniform inspection and supervision of the meat trade throughout the empire. The law provides for two inspections, one of the live- stock before slaughtering and another of the meat It applies to ani- mals slaughtered for food in Germany as well as to meats imported from abroad, and is essentially fair | to all parties. As to the probable effect of it upon the American meat trade, the Baron is quoted as saying the framers ot the measure were confronted with the difficulty of inspecting certain classes of meats, such as canned goods and small bits of pickled meat, and therefore it was decided “to exclude a few of such products.” He estimates the excluded goods at from 6 to 7 per cent of the total meat exports from the United States to Germany, or not more than 2 per cent of our entire | exports to that country; and finally he expresses the They even forgot to denounce | the gold standard, which Colonel Bryan regards as | the sum of all villainies, and went pawing the aymos- phere for some issue of expediency upon which to catch votes. THE LINCOLN MONUMENT LEAGUE. HOULD the conference called by the Lincoln Monument League to devise means for an early construction of the proposed memorial be az well attended and as earnest as the object of the League merits, it will result in a marked advance- ment of the moventent. In every important city in the United States there should stand monuments to | Washington, who founded the republic, and to Lin- coln, who saved it from dismemberment. There is no better way of providing for embellishment of great cities than by the erection of memorials which, in ad- dition to adorning some notable site or park, serve to recall the memory of great men and to stimulate in the minds of the young a worthy and patriotic ambi- tion. San Francisco, although the yo t of th | 5 - yqungest;oithe agesy bear not only the loss of the German market, but a cities of the'Union, has already taken an enviable rank among them for its artistic culture and accomplish- ment. What we have is but a slight thing in com- arison ‘with what a European city of 1 wi | # o 3 i squp pedlth | resort to them. Our imports from Germany are and population has to show in the way of art, but it is meritorious for an American city, and sufficient to encourage the promoters of every artistic movement among us. The proposed monument is one that appeals to every loyal heart. Should every one in California | who reveres the memory of Lincoln contribute to the fund there would be no need foy any one to give | much. A popular subscription of small amounts would, in fact, be more desirable than a few large gifts. It is for the conference to devise plans for ob- taining such subscriptions, and it is to be hoped they i will be forthcoming. A monument to Lincoln worthy | of the man and of the city is one of the municipal adornments which San Francisco ought to have. The quiet, subdued and orderly manner in which | the Democrats all over the country are following Bryan is so different fiom the usual Democratic habit | that it can be explained only on the ground that they | know they are following a funeral procession. Affairs in reference to the rebellion in Colombia appear to be approaching that stage where the rebels are likely to get hurt. They are nearing a town where American ‘marines are stationed to protect | property belief that the consumption of the chief exports of American meat to Germany will be increased and the trade improved by the operation of the act. All of that sounds well. It is to be borne in mind, however, that the new law is a measure whose effects will be determined mainly by the way it is applied. It is true that a fair inspection of American meat ex- ports would not be mjurious to the trade, but it is equally true that it will be easy for the German offi- cials to so construe the law and make the inspections as to virtually exclude almost all of our meat exports. When the bill was under consideration in the Reich- stag it was estimated by American experts that it would exclude from the German market upward of 60,000,000 pounds of American canned meats and se- riously interfere with the trade in other kinds of meat. Moreover, much of the German sentiment in favor of the bill was due to the belief that it would shut out American meat. It was regarded by the Agrarians as a cunningly devised tariff for the pro- tection of German farmers, and it may yet be en- forced with that view. The exasperating feature of the measure is that it does not directly impose a tariff duty upon American meat, but provides a method by which the meat may be excluded under the pretense that it is unfit for food. There is therefore the danger that we shall have to condemnation of our goods which will injure their sale elsewhere. Fortunately we have in our power ample means of retaliation should it be necessary to large, and we can well afford to strike back should occasion call for it. Such being the situation, we can accept the statements of Baron Hermann with trust- fulness. If they prove to be correct all will be well, and, if not, the remedy is in our hands. A German explorer has raised a great deal of fuss and feathers by his advocacy of the importation of Chinese laborers to South Africa. The enthusiast might learn something to his advantage by communi- cating with some of our Federal officials on ways and means. Azi gy Senator Clark, who has been reappointed to the United States Senate by the Governor of Montana, has received his vindication. He says that the Gov- ernor could not have made a better appointment.- William Jennings Bryan, the reports from Manila say, has been in guilty correspondence with the Fili- pinos. Perhaps William has been negotiating for a new field of operations after November, Filipinos, it is said, believe that Aguinaldo has power to shed bullets as a roof does hail. It is a safe bet that the sprinting leader of the rebels wouldn’t care to put their belief to a test.

The Attorney Seneral based his retusal | upon the ground that the district has been | in existence for over twelve years; that during all of that time officers of the dis- trict have been regularly elected by the | voters of the district; that through these officers taxes have been levied and collect- ed, bonds issued and sold, contracts for tha construction of works entered into. large sums of money expended in and bout the prosecution of the work of the | district, and in _connection therewith | rights of considerable magnitude have ac- crued; and that during all this time the | district performed the duties and exer- cised the powers pertaining to a legally and regularly organized district.

FILIPINO OUTBREAKS. “There is no telling what will happen to the Fillpinos If there is another out- break at Manila,” said Sergeant R. L. Petrie of the Hospital Corps, who re- turned from the islands on the transport Grant. “The boys are just dying to get their hands on those little brown fellows. The Filipinos have for months carried on a sort of guerrilla warfare against the | soldiers in and around Manila that is in- sufferable. They steal and kill whenever an opportunity is offered. They seem to have a particular grudge against Hos- pital Corps men and bolo them so often that that particular branch of the ser- vice has a spectal score to pay off when the time comes. It s now unsafe for an American to go any place around the city | alone. The men usually travel in parties | and are constantly expecting to be at- tacked. Only a few nights before I left | Manila, while I was calling upon some | friends at Fort San Diego, we were called | hastily to the Luneta to prevent an out- break, and spent the entire night under arms. We were anxlous to get at them I can tell you. “You can put it down as a certainty that when the next outbreak does occur—and it will not be long coming—there will be | no contrelling the army until it has swept Luzon from end to end and slaughtered a fearful number of natives. The boy will give them no quarter. General Mac- Arthur is becoming vastly popular among the rank and flle, because he believes in force in keeping the natives down. - eral Otls was always holding out the olive branch to the Filipinos and trying to win them over by kindness. That may be all | right in theory, but in practice it does not work worth a cent. General MacArthur in his active fleld operations against the natives learned to know them better than to trust them at any time. He shuts his eyes now and then when the boys wvenge e murder of a comrade, and when the time comes we believe that he will wage such a warfare against the natives that they will be glad to ery for quarter and will thereafter have a proper respect for | the American soldier and for American institutions generally. I might say that it is the general opinion of army men in the Philippines that the natives will continue to fight as long as there are any | of them left.” | % Right to Carry Banners.
