It must be admitted that there is nothing improbable noy impossible in his way, if he choose to seek such preferment. Not 2 ( done as much in ain can claim to have modern times to popularize the means of empire. He has given it a sentimental basis, and has clothed it i garments of romance.

But a calm philosophy will look behind government to the force which actuates it and that force at present is the Anglo-Saxon appe- It was the passion of the Vikings; it was the force that founded the power of the North- men in Normandy and transferred it to the British It was always cruel, but had its historic justi- fication in the founding of civil institutions as the re- sult of conquest. Bnt, as we have often contended, these institutions, like the passion for dominion which preceded them, are racial, and they can exist only where the race can perpetuate itself from gener- ation to generation. This is left out of Kipling’s philosophy. He recognizes no physical facts, and climatic characteristics do not" enter into his calcu- lations at all. The race that he has inspired with the spirit of conquest acquired its virility, its thews and sinews, its distinctive character and its overcoming quality and- hardy temper by survival of the fittest in a contest, ages long, with the cold and forbidding aspects of na- ture, in the uniriendly north. Whenever it has scated itself in the south it has degenerated, physically and morally. Nature has forbidden it passage of the boundary she has set for the races of men. None can remove her landmark. Cancer and Capricorn cannot be conquested, and, until the zodiac changes, Anglo- Saxon thirst for dominion will be punished by ex- tinction of the race between the tropics.

KINYOUN'S QUARANTINE OUTRAGE. UARANTINE OFFICER KINYOUN will shave to appear before Judge Morrow this Q morning to answer a charge of contempt of court. He should also be brought to answer for of- fenses sufficiently grave to justify his summary re- moval from office. ‘He has now been guilty of some- taing more than mere incompetency, for his latest Guarantine order is so unwarranted, so disastrous and is enforced with such gross partiality as to amount to : The quararlmne order is to the effect that transporta- tion companies shall not “issue transportation to any one leaving San Francsico for other States or Terri- tories pf the United States unless on presentation of a certificate signed Ly a Marine Hospital officer,” and th? inspectors stationed at the State border have been instructed to permit “no passengers coming f:-‘r\m San Francisco to pass unless a certificate is fur- nished.” That is the order and yet evidence shows that any white person can obtain a certificate with- | cut \{ndergoing any examination whatever, The ! order is in fact a fraud. It was prepared before Judge !\:fc_rrow gave his decision against the quarantine of | Chinatown and was designed for the sole purpose of i enabling Kinyoun to kave his way should the decision | Le adverse to the quarantine. It has not been en- | _l.'orccd honestly on its own terms and the presumption Is it was not honestly designed. If Kinyoun believes | that persons going from San Francisco are likely to carry the plague to other localities then he is to be | condemned for issuing his certificates to any and cvery white person who applies without making inves- ggat.xon. Either the order is dishonest in intent or it is dishonest in its application. That much is ap- parent on the surface of things and cannot be dis- puted. It is a law of the natural order of the world that one | evil begets another, that wrong grows ott of wrong, and this case furnishes an illustration of the rule. Out of the reports of bubonic plague in the Chinatown of Sah Francisco there have developed reports of plague in the Chinatowns of other parts of the State. Unless something be done to quarantine the liars and eradi- catcvthe lies the whole State will soon be reputed to be stricken with the plague. We shall have Kinyoun raging from one degree of offensivencss to another, He may even become so besotted as to believe his own words and enforce his own order, and then we shall see it established that no one can leave any part It is time for the people of San Francisco and in- deed of all California to take steps to obtain the re- moval from office of this incompetent and mischievous official. It is now the duty of representative men to gather all the facts of the deplorable and wretched : business and lay them before the President.

NDER the title; “What Can the Pan-American Congress Accomplish?” William Eleroy Curtis contributes to the June number of Gunton's | Magazine an article which may be read with profit s well as with interest by all who have any commer- { cial relations with South America, or who are desir- | ous of seeing our trade with the countries to the south of us largely increased. ‘ Mr. Curtis begins by pointing out some of the fac- | tors which create friction between ourselves and the people of Latin Amcrica. In the first place a con- | siderable number of European adventurers come to | the United States, take out naturalization papers, then | go to South America and whenever they do wrong claim from this country a protection which their own ! country would not have given because of their record | at home. Of these it is said: “Such claims are the cause of constant irritation and furnish ground for the allegation that we bully our sister republics, when we ought to assist and encourage them.” In the second place our Government has not followed a consistent policy in dealing with South American countries. Ac- | tions taken by President Arthur to arrange commer- i cial treaties were reversed when Cleveland came into | made during Harrison's administration were revoked | when Cleveland returned to office, while the efforts | made to establish reciprocity under the Dingley tariff have not been of a nature to satisfy the demands of the South American statesmen. It is added that the people of Latin America “have more sentiment than we and are more inclined to be governed by sentimental reasons in their political and commercial relations.” The Conservatives, or Spanish party, “take advantage of every disagreeable incident to prejudice public opinion against the United States and the recent acquisition of territory has afforded them an opportunity of crying ‘I told you so." They have long argued that ‘la grande republica’ intended sooner or later to extend its sovereignity over the entire hemisphere, so when we took Porto Rico and assumed a protectorate over Cuba they pro- claimed that it was the first step in the march of con- quest southward.” Despite these obstacles, Mr. Curtis believes much may be accomplished to bring about more cordial re- | lations with our southern neighbors by wisely directed action af the conference of American republics to be held in the City of Mexico between May and.October of next year. He says something should be done to obtain from all South American governments the recognition of United States diplomas, particularly | those of doctors and dentists, and to prevent impos- tors from claiming professignal diplomas from insti- tutions in this country; efforts should be made to con- clude treaties for the portection of commercial travel- ers against extortionate fees often imposed by local authorities, which now constitute a serious embargo upon commerce, and uniform quarantine laws should be established for mutual protection. As a final word upon the conference it is said: “It ought to be proclaimed from the housetops that the Government of the United States will not afford an asylum for Europeans, residents of South America, who seek the protection of our naturalization laws, and that no claim for damages against one of our sister republics shall be presented by our diplomatic agents unless the claimant is a genuine citizen of this coun- try, and what is more important is the proclamation by the United States as a principle of international policy that the political and geographical integrity of the American republics shall be preserved and pro- tected.” | | i | | e e . _ The “street fair” is the big thing of the time and Eureka has found it.

HILE the beautiful character of the present Pope,” writes Jeanne Boule in the Chicago Times-Her- | ald, “places him first in the esteem | of millions, he owes a great deal of his popularity to talents not generally known. | He has a firm hold on the world of art | and letters, and, in society, has long been noted as a wit. It i= said that he | has the greatest power of repartee of any man in Burope. It is an 0dd thing to | . one that ‘the greater the saint | the greater the humorist’ This has so | generally passed into a first principle with | students of men that one can understand why the wisest theologians are given to | doubt the sanctity of the man who does not_enjoy a joke. "Thujse who have lived near his Holiness | or who have associative ties with him, | know a volume of storfes of his wit. His | humor is of the sublime kind: it never | wounds or stings. It raises a laugh, but | always to lift the hearer to a calm height not before known. Only once in all these contes drolatiques does he appear to have made a retort that stabbed, and then the victim richly deserved it. A well-known nobileman of one of the proud famiiles an- | tedating Christianity (some of them as| old and as wicked as Satan), who may be | * named the Count de Threestars, was rash enough to boast at a club in_Kome that | he could and would put the Holy Father at a disadvantage. He had begun by disagreelng with his companions in their statement that no one could disconcert the pontiff’s ready wit, and finished by saying that he could do so. Now, this was before Leo XIII had assumed -the | tiara, and only Cardinal Pecci. “ ‘You will get the worst of it," his circle warned him, ‘and you will wish all the rest of your life that you had let him lone.’ “But the Count de Threestars was_ a headstrong man, and he was bold in his assurance. Bets were freely offered, but | only two were taken, that the adventur- | ous man_would stand no chance of | getting off even third best from an en- counter with so accomplished an ecclesi- | astic. It was arranged that the trial of | ould take place on the occasion of | a diplomatic dinner, when the Count de | Threestars should be placed near the Car- | dinal and given his opportunity to crush the priest as flat as the tablecloth. “The evening arrived, and the naughty nobleman was seated on the left of the | Cardinal, where he could be under the charm and grace of the distinguished | man, and where all in the secret should | hear the music of his voice. The dessert | was far advanced when, in the most natural way, the Count de Threestars, in ! perfectly @#sumed courtesy, offered the | TATH T AT AT RS AR R T4 44404040 ; Cardinal his snuff-box, that he might par- take. It was a jewel of workmanship, and with his thumb slipped beneath. the noble- man held it so that its lid Inclined to give the best view of its decoration, this being a certain Venus of Titian, painted in the frank and fearless old fashion even for Titian. “The circle was watching, breathless in admiring horror, wondering what should be the outcome of this daring intrusion upon a man of such piety and spotless morals as Cardinal Pecei. The holy father looked steadily at the Venus for a mo- ment. Then he threw his head back and half closed his eyes, as if to get a good focus, all the while giving the lookers-on an eternity within some seconds. Finally he raised” his eyebrows Interrogatively, aid to the nobleman, sweetly: ‘Mme. la Comtesse?” (Your wife.) “The snuff-box fell to the floor with a crash, and the man's _whole body trembled with rage at this deadly insult— the worst such a man could encounter, and his eyes looked as if, but for the cloth that separated their ranks, he could have killed the smiling ecclesiastic on the spot. But he never troubled Cardinal Pecci again. People tell and write in salon and private letters from Rome of the -harming grace of his touch upon the ordinary things of life, the discovery of possibilities of fun where no one ever seemed to have seen it before.” >AI?T AND ARTISTS. N one of the local galleries this week “ are two Yosemite scenes of Tom Hill's, 1| not new there, but now hung to at- tract., Both pictures are eminently characteristic of the painter, his fine workmanship 2nd cool, pearly tone, and they are to be had for a price—an ex- ceedingly reasonable one. That they came into their present quarters through the settling up of an esate doubtless explains the unusual (gure. On the same wall hangs a Hugo Fisher, “Emerald Bay,” Lake Tahoe, with hill and tree and water, but without one sin- gle feature of distinction save a certain decency of composition. The water is not wet. For contrast in this regard compare it with its next door neighbor, “On the Marné at Champigny.” It lacks move- ment, depth, the trees are stagey, the hills without legitimate effect of distance and the whole tone muddy. 5 3 “On the Marne at (.‘hsmYI ny.” by W. Baird, includes a delightful bit of water painting, and it is interesting in this con-| nection to compare, even in this small col- lection, the attempts at river, sea and lake imposed upon a patient public. One artist shows a river of glass, another a green silk lake, another a pool of polished steel. With vet another 'qa(mer of seas the waves are “posed”’ always—immobile from | over-conscientiousness of treatment, but Mr. Baird hassucceeded in getting “‘watec as Is water''—a dimpled, sunny, flowing stream, singing as it goes. The whole color scheme of the picture is clean and sunny throughout, with no false note, ex- cept perhaps an over-purple distance. As a composition, “On the Marne” is less ad- mirable. It is lacking in plot and balance, and evidently composed itself. The ducks are well and humorously drawn. Joseph Greenbaum shows his Salon pic- ture, “La Priere,” recently on exhibition at the Hopkins Art Gallery. clever bits of still life in the same gal- lery. The handling of the copper vessel is especially deft. Saild Joaquin Miller on his return. from the far north, speaking of Alaskan color: “Never was such color.

It needs a new Columbus to capture the color up_there: it is a new world to con- uer.” But Willlam Keith had already scovered Alaska at that time, and there hangs in his studio now a rare impression of the northern wonderland—a pearly, opalescent, jeweled sort of scene, which amply testifies to the difficulty of word pail ‘when such color is in question.
