We are reaping the benefits of the advance in wheat and the minor cereals and of the remark- able demand for our fruit, which is enabling us w dispose of a very abundant crop at much better fig- ures than we expected a few weeks ago. Indeed, the demand for fruit this year breaks the, record. In spite of the heaviness of the crop it is actually scarce here and there @nd the canners are finding it neces- sary to advance their prices from time to time to ob- tain supplies. The shipments of deciduous fruit east- ward thus far this year amount to 725 cars, against 683 during the same time in 1899, and the record of citrus nuit shipments up to the 19th inst. was 16,232 cars, which is said to be in excess of all previous years. In ~ddition the porthern demand for California fruit has increased surprisingly this year. a seric We have some lively mashers in this country, but the Austrian gentleman who is now answering be- fore a tribunal in Gratz as defendant in 120 breach of promise cases seems catitled to the championship. - A | is the domestic article. | vote the Bryan ticket. DOMESTIC IMPERIALISM. S we have said, the Republican platform is con- fl servatism itself as to the status of Porto Rico and the Philippines. There is no acceptance of either as an integral part of this Union. They are not incorporated into the Union of the United States, as Louisiana was. Nor are their people absorbed into our body politic and become a part of our fellow citizenship. No constitutional guarantee extends to them, nor are they felt as part of our political bone and flesh, only to be separated by political surgery. When the people have undeceived themselves as to the value of tropical possessions they can do as they choose with these evils which have fallen to us by the fortunes of war. In this there is no imperialism. There is merely that pause which nations take in a novel and un- expected situation, while the sober second thought is catching up with events which have got ahead of it. In the midst of this pause the. voice of Bryan breaks the silence in a denunciation of imperialism. The State platform of his party in California “de- nounces imperialism in all of its forms,” but did the convention mean it? Imperialism is either a denial to a people of liberty | they have not had but desire to have, or the denial to them of liberty that has been guaranteed to them in the solemn promises of a political state and which they have enjoyed. The first and second empires of France were ex- | amples of the second form. We have that same form in this country. now in operation and indorsed by the Bryan Democracy. The constitution gives the ballot to the negro. In the solid South, upon whose unani- mous electoral vote Colonel Bryan relies for the achievement of his ambition, this constitutional right is taken away from the negro, not because he is a negro but because he votes the Republican ticket. This was at first done by violence and murder, but now it is done by law. This is not a statement based on hearsay evidence, nor is it a campaign charge made to affect the passion of voters. It is the open atowal of Southern Senators in the Senate of the United States. of Bryan's national committee and expectant Secre- tary of the Navy if Bryan is elected, in a speech to the Senate said of these negro Republican voters: “We took the government away from them. We shot | | them, We used tissue ballots and frauds. At length, growing tired of these things, we amended the State constitutions and eliminated the negro vote.” Here is the boast, made in the Serate, that Mr. Bryan's party in thirteen States of the Union forbids the exercise of a right especially bestowed by the constitution. from a shotgun to a statute. Murder was the instru- ment favored in all those States until, as Senator Till- man admits, they grew tired of murder and accom- plished the same end by State law. The right which | the constitution gives and they take away is the right to vote, described as the right preservative of all rights. Without it there can be no consent of the governed. Colonel Bryan's party has deprived, by murder, fraud and law, ten millions of people of the right to consent or dissent to the Government under | which they live. They are not denied a right for which they hoped, but one which. they had. If government without consent of the governed be imperialism, this What will Colonel Bryan's party do about it? Do they expect the country to | pay any attention to their denunciation of the Repub- | lican party for ignoring consent of the governed in Luzon while they deny it in Louisiana? Why is such denial worse in Negros than in North Carolina? In Senator White's eloquent and excellent speech to the late Democratic convention he dedicated his life to the principle of freedom of which the essence is the consent of the governed. The sentiment is noble and does the eminent gentleman credit. But will he be consistent and advocate the same consent of the gov- erned for the negritos of Panay and the negroes of Alabama? The platform which he wrote and re- ported says that this Government cannot endure half republic and half empire. Let us make a further para- phrase of Mr. Lincoln’s declaration, and ask if it can endure with the ballot, guaranteed by the constitu- tion, denied in one-half the Union by murder, fraud and law? North of Mason and Dixon's line every man lives under government by consent. South of it consent is denied to ten millions of people because they do not The constitution requires that the representation of any State in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College shall be reduced in proportion to the numbeér of its people | who are denied the right to consent to the govern- ment by being deprived of the right to vote. The peo- ple of the Northern States, where government by consent prevails, where no one is denied the ballot, are defrauded by the Southern representation in the House and the Electoral College, based upon the enurgeration of ten millions of people who are forbid- den their constitutional right to vote. The fraud of this form of domestic imperialism is a double crime and each offense is against the Federal constitution. | It is not without interest to reflect that if Colonel Bryan is eclected denouncing external imperialism it will be by this domestic imperialism which deprives ten millions of people of the right of consent to their government! votes based on.the enumeration of ten millions of people deprived ‘of self-government by his party. These things may not be pleasant. The truth is often offensive. But that they are true no partisan of Colonel Bryan dare den e e v 2 THE VICE PRESIDENT. HE first national convention held in this coun- Tlry was really called to nominate a candidate for Vice President to run with Jackson. The last one was practically held for a like purpose. McKin- ley was renominated by consent, as Jackson was, and no convention was needed for that purpose. The Vice Presidency was the selection in controversy. There was no politics in taking a Western man, for say and sing it as often as may be, the President rep- sents the West and the nomination of either Fair- banks or Dolliver would have been resorting to the same section for both candidates. It came to pass that Mr. Irving M. Scott was mentioned for this nomination, but without his procurement or consent. The same sectional objection would have been against him. The Republican party has elected Lincoln and Grant of Tllinois, Hayes, Garfield and McKinley of Ohio and Harrison of Indiana, all Western men. Its Vice Presidential nominations have gone to Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Tennessee. This constant selection of Western men to head its tickets has accounted in part for the loyal adherence of the West to its principles and fortunes. The convention was at no time under any illusions nor was it led by any emotional ideals. It adhered to its policy of cbmbining a Western and Eastern man on the ticket, a policy which it has varied but once, when it put Grant and Colfax together in 1868." This adherence gave it no choice between first-class men except Secretary Long and Governor Roosevelt, Tillman of South Carolina, member | To do this they have used everything | 1f he is elected it will be by electoral | The influence of New York in the convention and her great vote in the Electoral College determined the final choice. ways interesting career. His public life began in the New York Legislature and he has served as Civil Ser- vice Commissioner, Police Commissioner in New York, Assistant Secretary of the’ Navy, lieutenant colonel of a regiment of Rough Riders in the Spanish war and Governor of New York. He has a good deal of independence, is a poor programmer and, when he chooses, takes the bit in his teeth and goes his own gait. 5 ‘When he presides over the Senate that highly con- ventional body will likely be shocked by his uncon- ventionality, but the country will like his heartiness and robustness and will tolerate him good-naturedly, even when he is wrong. B — A GRAND JURY OPPORTUNITY. Jury is coincident with the emergency that calls for the cleaning of Chinatown. By the disas- trous attempts at quarantine public attention has been directed to the unsanitary condition of that quarter of the city and public sentiment is unanimous in favor of reform. It is therefore fortunate that at the very | time whe% the people are aroused and in earnest on the issue we have in the Grand Jury the new broom needed to make a clean sweep. This Grand Jury has an opportunity to prove the | usefulness of the institution. It has been the custom | for grand juries to make examinations of the various | departments of the county and city administration, to | pass judgment either ofapprovalor of condemnationas | to the manner in which official business is carried on, | to make complaints of this or that,to make recommen- dations more or less wise, and then to wind up with a plea of excuse because little or nothing was accom- plished in the way of real reform. Of the present Grand Jury we expect better things. At any rate it | has an opportunity to do something on a large scale and to have abundant support-from the people in do- | ing it. That opportunity arises from the fact that the | unsanitary condition of Chinatown is due to the per- sistent and flagrant violation of city health laws. There is much work for the Grand Jury to do, but this portion of the work should be taken up at once and given precedence over everything that might con- flict with it or lead to its postponement. Let the jury | as a body, or by a strong committee, enter upon a thorough investigation of Chinatown, not to look for tinhorn gambling places, cheap bawdy houses or other slum vices, but to deal with the quarter compre- hensively and determine how far the health ordi- | nances of the city are obeyed there and how far they | are violated. In making the investigation there should be a close house to house inspection. Every building in the dis- | trict should be scrutinized, every passage in it ex- plored, whether above ground or below ground, and every room opening off the passages examined and | the number of persons occupying it determined. When that investigation has been made it will then be the duty of the jury or of its committee to see how far the facts thus obtained conform to the laws of the city. Wherever a violation of the law is noted a com- plaint should be filed against the offending party. One thing is to be borne in mind. Little or no | benefit can be derived from an investigation of (_:hina- BY good fortune the organization of a new Grand | town unless it be made with thoroughness, firmness, impartiality and strict honesty. It will do no good to have a dozen or more wretched Chinamen arrested for keeping unclean premises, but it will do a world of good if every property-owner whose buildings are unsanitary be compelled to obey the law and put them | irc proper condition. Some of the richest men in San Francisco are own- ers of property in Chinatown and some of the build- ings belonging to the richest owners are about the foulest. These men who have profited in the past by | violating the health regulations will protest and will fight against any effort at reform. It is the duty of the Grand Jury to face that fight and not shrink from it, even should the Health Board back up the prop- erty-owners. The Kinyoun quarantine has given San Francisco the last disastrous lesson the people are | willing to have from Chinatown. There is now a de- | mand for reform. Will the Grand Jury undertake the work? Will the new broom sweep clean? THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS. DURI.\'G the whole of this week, down to Satur- day evening, the work of enrolling members of Republican clubs in the various Assembly districts of the city will be carried on. After the en- rollment is closed time will be given for a hearing of any complaints that may be filed concerning the enrollment and on July 9 the clubs are expected to or- ganize by the election of officers. The clubs will presumably nominate delegates to be voted for at the primary election, and as such tickets will have ad- vantage in the contest, it is the desire of the County Committee to give every Republican voter in San Francisco an opportunity to enroll himself in his dis- trict club, take part in its organization and have a | voice in nominating #ny ticket it may put forth. What has been done is fair for all and were it not fair it is too late to complain now. It rests with the better class of Republicans to determine whether they' will leave ward bosses and railroad touts to gather into them the loafers of the bar-rooms and so obtain within the party a point of vantage from which they can do much damage in spite of all that may be done to prevent. This is the season of the year when many business men leave the city for the holidays. Those who go | will be inclined to forget to attend to this political | duty before going, and those who remain will, in many | cases, have something of extra work to do because of the absence of the pleasure-seekers, and they also may be forgetiul. Such being the case there is con- siderable danger the business men and the intelligent workingmen of the party will not be so fully repre- sented in the district clubs as they should be. To guard against that danger there is needed something like a canvass of the party by its-more active mem- bers for the purpose of getting enrolled every Repub- Jican who will stand for honest politics and genuine Republicanism against the bosses and their gangs. It will not be much trouble for every earnest Re- publican to remind his friends during the week of the importance of joining the district club. A simple re- minder of the duty will in most cases be all that is necessary to attain the purpose. Men neglect their political responsibilitles chiefly because in the routine of life they forget them. It is for that reason the pro- fessional ward heelers so frequently triumph over business men and workingmen in doing politics. The bosses never fotget, nor do they let their “push” for- get. They will join the district clubs in large num- bers, they will get fraudillent enrollments if they can, and for the welfare of the party the better class of Re- ;-blmm must stand guard with vigilance and be ready to act with energy.

NEWS OF THE NAVIES. The Goliath, British battleship, left the Nore on May 30 for China to relieve the Victorious on that station. The unusual sight was recently wit- nessed on the streets of London of a sand- wich man who consplcuously called public attention to extracts from Lord Beres- ford’s speech condemning the British navy. This somewhat sensatiogal and un- dignified proceeding was engineered by the Navy League. A Dutch torpedo boat named the Hydra, built by Yarrow at Chiswick, made her contract trial of three 'ours on May 23 and developed a speed of 24.3 knots, ex- ceeding the contract by 1.3 knots. The Hydra is 130 feet In length, 13.6 feet breadth and six feet draught. She Is a singl The following Russian vessels en route for China were reported on May 31 at places iIndicated. Battleship Admiral Nachimoff, §524 tons. at Spezla: battle- ship Alexander II, 9927 tons, tegether with torpedo boats 119 and 120, were at Corfu; Zaporoyetz, gun vessel of 1224 tons, was at Suda Bay. and the Khraby, armored gun- boat of 1492 tons, was at Toulon. Public 'attention is being directed in England to the apparent fact that the Admiralty is practically boycotting the noted firm at Elswick. And yet the Arm- strong company has built better ships for foreign powers than the British Admiralty has furnished for the home navy. The modern ship-of-war originated in the Armstrong yard, and it is therefore just possible that professional jealousy is a screw boat. factor in the boycott. | an The new British crufser Argonaut, 11,000 | tons and twenty and three-fourths knots | speed, has been listed for some time as | being attached to the China squadron, but she was still at the Portsmouth dockyard two weeks ago owing to her inability to pass the commission trials. The last trou- ble was “hot bearings.” .ne trials include twenty-four hours under %000 horsepower. three hours under full power and twenty- four hours under 350, or one-fifth power. The Italian firm of Orlando Bros. at Leghorn has made good progress in ma- rine engineering. The cruiser Puglia, for which they built the engines, developed 1000 horsepower more than the contract called for. Under a six hours’ natural draught trial the horsepower averaged 4900, giving a speed of 17.6 knots, and un- one and one-half hours’ forced draught the horsepower was 7500 with 19% Kknots speed. The engineer corps in the French navy is agitating for increased numbers, better pay and improved status. Its position is | rather an anomalous one; its members rise in rank by about a dozen successive and may become chief inspectors of machinery. There are no warrant officers in the French navy, and until the en- gineer on board ship reaches the three higher grades he ranks only with petty | officers. Navy building is very active at St. Pe- tersburg, there being three battleships and one cruiser in various stages of progress on the stocks. Of the battleships the Borodino, 13.566 tons and eighteen knots, was begun May 26 of last year; Alexander 111, of 13,516 tons and eighteen knots, had | Ler keel laid September 5, 1399, and the Pobieda, 12674 tons and elghteen knots, was started August 1, 1895. The cruiser Aurora, 663 tons and twenty knots, has been on the stocks since October 31, 1396, By a decree of May 18 last the Queen of Spain has ordered a number of naval ves- | sels to be struck off the list, to be sold or used as coal hulks, flcating ammunition | depots or as material for submarine de- fense, by which latter term sinking is Among the vessels con- demned are the cruisers Alfonso XII and Alfonso XIII, eight torpedo gunboats, seven gunboats and four torpedo boats. early '60's are also condemned, and the armorclads—so-called—Numancia and Vi- toria are likewise slated for permanent re- tirement, whose boilers and machinery re- quire extensive repairs. The majority of the condemned vessels are old, but three of the torpedo gunboats are only nine years old and were rated at nineteen knots. Alfonso XIII, a crulser of 5000 tons, was also built in 1891 and had a lpoed when new of twenty knots. The Temera- rio, which was to intercept the Oregon on her voyage East, is likewise condemned, although only eleven years old and had a rating of twenty and a half knots speed. The removal of comparatively modern vessels indicates that they had been badly cared for and became useless. This leaves | i Spain with the merest nucleus of a navy, and it has taken that country three hun- dred yéars to realize the folly of bullding ships to be captured or destroyed by other naval powers. —_————— Arithmetically Correct. 0ld Gentleman—And b any brothers or sisters, my littie man?"
