I THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1900. THE CHINESE SITUATION. HILE there is no doubt that the invasion of W China by foreign troops has inflamed the anti- foreign agitation in that country, it may lead to results beneficial to China and the world. Anti-for- eign agitations are by no means peculiar to China. | We have had them in very violent form in this coun- try, grievously complicated with religious prejudice. There have been riots in France of which Italian la- borers were the victims and feuds between' Slavs and Germans have been common in Austria. In China we have the religious complication in acute form and the riots have caused attacks on the missionary compounds and the murder of Christians, foreign and native. The predatory nations are all too ready to make the situation a pretext for getting a permanent military foothold in the interior of China, preparatory to carv- ing up that empire and taking European jurisdiction of the slices. The carvers will quarrel among them- selves over the choice cuts. It is to be regretted that the United States is at all compelled to take any part in the invasion that is now going on. But our participation seemed inevitable and as it is unavoidable there should be from the be- ginning a clear understanding of what it means. This is necessary to the end that the other powers may be under no illusion as to our purpose and that China may be well assured as to our purpose. Our own interests and safety, our peculiar position in the world as a republic, with commercial interests s, 1 to care for and a policy of justice to maintain toward the rest of the nations, require that we should let it be plainly known at the outset that not only have we no territorial aggrandizement in view, but that we will not support any other country in the partition of China. This country believes that the best interests of civilization require that China shall remain intact and that her polity shall be undisturbed. We want peace there, orderly government aiter the system familiar to the people and only such growth of West- ern arts and appearance of new wants as may be ratural. There is a belief abroad that if England and the United States stand for the integrity of the Chinese empire it will not be disturbed. While there is a perfectly justifiable flinching from any agreement with a foreign power in the nature of an alliance, it must be admitted that such an understanding and joint action with Great Britain will not affront Amer- | ican feeling, but will conform to the wishes of our people. 3 China is the only country in Asia that promises any significant results in the way of foreign trade. | This is because the Chinese are the only Asiatics that are industrious. They work and they have that com- mercial ambition which seeks to produce a surplus The first problem with them is the supply of foodstuffs. The vast population is almost at the limit of the domestic food supply. Russia is about to develop the last great wheat-growing area left on the planet. Her fields in Southern Siberia are about to pour a wheat supply into the world’s markets of a for foreign trade. | volume that cannot be computed. She will be our competitor in China in the bréad supply. She is no doubt the leader in tire desire to eliminate that Gov- crnment, carve up the country and Russianize the greater part of it. Aside from any view of the abstract justice of such a policy, it is opposed to our commercial interests. For these reasons it may well be that our military presence there in the midst of this profound disturb- ance may not only prevent the partition of China, but may secure for us the lasting friendship of that em- pire, which will be profitably refiected in our com- merce. Beyond this we should écrupulously avoid going. Peyond this we have no right to go, and right should be the limitation upon national as well as upon per- sonal action. A During the last few days the Governor has given evidences of a wisdom that is as refreshing as it is un- expected in conjunction with the outrageof the plague scare. His Excellency, with an almost inexplicable understanding of himself, declines to say anything. SN B It is said that the harbor of San Francisco will soon be the home port for the entire sailing fleet of the United States. What a splendid opportunity this will | be for another ‘quarantine officer, drunk upon au- thority, to strike a blow at the Union as well as at California. e @ BALLOON AND AN AIRSHIP. HILE we are making ready for the Presi- W dential election, and the French are giving an undivided attention to their exposition, the Germans are preparing for two important experiments in aerial traveling. One of these is to be made with the largest balloon ever constructed and the other with an airship Count Zeppelin of the German army has been constructing on Lake Constance, and which is now said to be about ready for tHe trial trip. The balloon experiment is intended solely for the purpose of determining how long a balloon may be kept afloat. It is to contain no less than 300,000 cubic feet of gas and will be therefore about twice the size of the balloon in which Andre undertook to reach the north pole. It is to carry five aeronauts and the promoters expect it to maintain itself in midair for at least a week and possibly for ten days. At any rate the aeronauts will not return to earth until the loss of gas renders the balloon no longer buoyant. 1t is stated that if a balloon can be kept at a high altitude for a considerable period of time the benefits to science are likely to be large. Up to this time it | has never been possible to obtain continuous records at very high altitudes of diurnal variations in tempera- ture, pressure and wind, and data relating to such facts are desired by meteorologists. Captive balloons have been found serviceable only at low altitudes and kites have never been kept in the air more than two days, nor can they be kept that long at a uniform altitude. So the big balloon is expected to prepare the way for a considerable advance not only in aeronautics, but in meteorology. To the general public the Zeppelin airship will be more interesting than the big balloon. For its con- struction there was erected on Lake Constance a float- ing plant 430 feet long and 65 ‘feet high and the work has been carried on with considerable secrecy. A re- cent description of the airship says it is 400 feet long with a diameter of 38 feet. The exterior is aluminum and the power is to be furnished by two sixteen-horse power motors. It is stated that as a result of its 11,300 square-yard gas supply Count von Zeppelin's inven- tion possesses a carryving capacity of a corresponding measurement. According to the calculations of the | builder, Engineer Kubler, the entire weight of the ship, including the crew, does not exceed ten tons, notwithstanding in length it measures the size of an ordinary ocean greyhound. Included in this figure is a water ballast of one to one and a half tons. Capitalists must have a good deal of confidence in the invention to have provided money for construct- ing so large a ship. It is now about to be tested outcome. It would astonish Paris if the greatest marvel of her exposition should prove to be a visit irom a German delegation coming down from the clouds in an airship of the proportions described. Ii the Board of Education were as slow to pay it§ political debts as it is eager to enjoin school teach- ers to meet their obligations, the danger of scandal in the department would be very much less than it is. e —— TWO ERAS CONTRASTED. HILE the tariff is not to have much considera- Wtion given it on the stump during the coming campaign, it is nevertheless worth while for voters to bear in mind the disaster that fell upon the country when the sound policy of protection was set aside in favor of an experiment with free trade. It is therefore gratifying tha# Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire has taken occasion to compile an elaborate array of figures showing the striking contrast between the conditions of the country during the two eras. Once more the people have to choose whether the Government shall be in the hands of statesmen de- voted to policies whose value has been proven by ex- perience, or intrusted to men whose opinions on all governmental questions whether of tariff or of finance are of the most visionary character, In the course of his argument Senator Gallinger shows that in 1893, the year of the second inaugura- tion of President Cleveland, $34,518,001 was withdrawn from the savings banks of New York State in excess of the deposits. Business failures, which for the first three months of 1892 had been 3207 in number, with total liabilities of $35,861,749, rose to 3969 and $49,- 085,088 in the first thres months of 1804 and to 4512 and $62,513,826 in the first three months of 1896. From May 4 to October 3, 1893, the American people drew $378,000,000 from the national banks. The cause of the withdrawal of these vast sums of money from the banks was the collapse of American industry, the lack of work and wages, the fall of pricesand the disaster that overspread the country as a result of the overthrow of the protective system. It classes felt the burden of the bad times and none more heavily than farmers who had been promised so much of prosperity when relieved from the weight of tariff taxation. Moreover “tariff for revenue” did not yield even a revenue. The treasury of the nation suffered as well as that of individuals and had to borrow money to meet current expenses. . As soon as McKinley was elected the situation be- gan to change. A new prosperity dawned upon the people and rapidly brightened. As Senator Gallinger points out, while Congress in extra session was pre- paring to revise the tariff and re-establish protection, a great tide of money began to flow into the banks. On September 30, 1892, individual deposits in the banks of the country stood at a total of $1,765,422,983. In October, 1893, with “tariff reform” impending, they had fallen to $1.451,124,320. In Degember, 1897, these deposits had gone up again to $1,019,680,252— reflecting the increased confidence and improved earning capacity of the American people. The busi- ness of the New York Clearing-house advanced from $2,580,348832 in January, 1897, to $5,690,747,778 in January, 1809 Such is the record of the contrasted eras. Me- Kinley is no longer the advance agent of prosperity, for prosperity has come. In this campaign he stands for the continuance of the existing order of things, and surely there can be no considerable number of in- telligent men, not under the domination of an intense partisanship, who will vote for.a change—and such a change as Bryanism would bring. e e s The Kinyoun who pleaded with Judge Morrow for mercy is the same Kinyoun who attempted to ruin California. There is somewhere a legal axiom that the punishment ought to fit the crime. THE IN THE EAST. HILE the exposure of the connection of Wprominmt Tammany politicians with the ice trust has had the effect of reducing Tammany to such a condition of depression that David Bennett Hill obtained an easy victory over Croker at the Democratic State Convention on everything except the indorsement of Bryan, and caused a decline in the price of the stock in the market, it has accomplished little in the way of breaking up the trust itseli or causing a reduction in the price charged to con- sumers who buy ih small quantities. Moreover, the evil effect of the trust is felt not in New York only, but elsewhere, and in some cities the situation appears even worse than in New York itself. At the present time the trust holds in its grip the ice supply of New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The fight in New York may probably break the power of the trust in that city, but that will not help the others. In fact, it is feared that if beaten in New York the trust managers will endeavor to make up for what they lose there by tightening the cinch on the other cities. By reason of that fear a movement has been started both in Baltimore and in Philadelphia to beat the trust, and in Baltimore it has taken the form of a proposal to establish a municipal ice plant. Such a movement is something of a nov- elty in the way of municipal enterprise, but ice in the East is a public need, and the argument is that it should be supplied by the municipality. The advocates of the city ice plant are not so- cialists. So conservative a paper as the American indorses the scheme and gives it cordial support. It argues that the proposed plant should be of suffi- cient magnitude to meet all the local demand. Tt says: “A municipal ice plant designed merely to supply the needs of the city government and the va- rious charitable institutions in the city will necessi- tate an expenditure wholly out of keeping with the benefits that will be derived. The City Council should provide a sum sufficient to guarantee the release of ICE TRUST | the entire city from the grasp of this greedy monop- oly. By increasing the amount of the proposed ap- propriation to $100,000 or $250,000 the Committee on Police and Jail will evidence a proper conception of the importance of the enterprise. Such a sum will require but a small increasé in the tax rate, and it will insure municipal competition with the ite trust of such a nature as will virtually drive the heartless and extortionate corporation from Baltimore.” The suggestion opens up a new view of the prob- lem of dealing with trnsts. The struggle against such combines will force the public into larger and larger schemes of co-operation, and there is no telling to what extent, the stress of the struggle will force mu- nicipalities to undertake the task of providing for the needs of their people. Peter Morgan Ashley Smith Crane says he wants a pension from the national Government. If the gen- tleman has gone thréugh life weighted with that name he is certainly entitled to some compensation, General Gomez seems to have had the same success on the field of politics as he had on the field of war.

Until the question is decided by the Supreme Court, I should advise all per- sons of self-respect to ~efrain from contracting a marriage which may, and I believe will, turn out to be void; in which event the other party will be at liberty to repudiate it, with consequences too dreadful to be ignored. they may have as communica~ Editor of The Call—I see by your columns that some lawyers have expressed the opinfon that Judge Belcher's decision as to the validity of a marriage in an- other State between residents of California who have been divorced within a year, will be reversed by the Supreme Court. that ignorant people should not be deluded into fllegal marriages, I venture to As it is important to public morals While it is true, as a general rule, that a marriage, valid by the law of the State where It is contracted, is valid everywhere, even though the parties are not residents of that State, that rule has at least one well recognized exception. The capacity of a person to marry is determined by the law of the State where he resides; and the marriage in another State of one who, by the law of his own State, is incapable of marriage, is void, at least in his own State. This rule ap- plies to a statutory incapacity after divorce, unless that The only question, then, is, whether our statute forbidding the marriage of a divorced person within one year after the decree, s penal. Under the law as it stood when that statute was passed, an appeal might be taken from a decree of divorce at any time within one year. the law of this State that no judgment or decree is final until the expiration of it followed that, marry within that time, and afterward an appeal should be taken and the de- cree reversed, the marriage would be vold.
