Horses, at 732 Market AFTER THE PEACE CONFERENCE. HOULD the Czar of Russia take a notion to 11 another ace conference he from ny quarter of the globe. The results of his first in that direction are not ouraging. The conf ce at The Hague may not ve been a hoodoo, but it certainly w nobody h the th not a mascot, to try another experiment for the representatives of the ke the peace pipe the in a peaceful condition, and had been so for many yea It is true there had been a little, hundred days, one-sided fight between our- selves and Spain, but that had ended to the satisfac- tion of all, and everything was serene. There was kardly 2 prospect of battle on the horizon. Even the good old Turkish war cloud was for a time as dim as a vanishing mist. talked and dined ar powers to asse world was The peace conference met and talked some more. Now look at the situation. We are fighting the Filipinos, Great Britain is fighting the Boers and the Ashantis, the Chinese are fighting cverybody, and there is more to France is crowding Morocco, Russia and Jzpan are lining up for 2 fight over the possession of Korea, the United States is getting the war hatchet ready for Turkey, the Balkan states are growing tur- bulent toward Austria, the Kaiser is equipping a new naval armament and threatening everything in sight, and finally the Chinese imbroglio has involved so many nations that the whole civilized world may be plunged into the red abyss of slaughter before the year is over. Judging by the existing situation it would seem that peace conferences are like dreams and go by con- traries. Should the Czar desire another conference it is to be hoped he will call it a war talk, and invite suggestions as to the advisability of putting all inter- national issues into a pool and fighting them out in a general scrimmage. s . come. THE CHINATOWN PROBLEM. UARANTINE irritations no longer trouble Q us, Kinyounism has been suppressed for a time at least, and the bubonic Board of Health has taken to cover. We may drop each and 2ll of them from further discussion if we choose, but we should not drop the memory of the lesson the quarantine has taught. It was the unsanitary condi- tion of Chinatown that gave to the Board of Health and to Kinyoun the opportunity to make their at- tacks upon the city, and so long as Chinatown re- mains in such condition we will not be safe from a repetition of the offense. The cleaning of China- town has, in fact, become an emergency measure, and should be undertaken at once. ‘We have already pointed out the duty of the Grand Jury to investigate the extent to which the health ordinances of the city have been violated by the lowners of property in the Chinese quarter. It is not likely the jury will neglect the opportunity for ren- dering an important service to the community. The one danger is that there may be a strong opposition to whatever is done in the direction of reform, and that the ‘epposition may endeavor to force a com- promise in the way of a consent on the part of the suthorities to a partial obedience to the sanitary or- dinances, instead of having them énforced in the Chi- nese quarter as rigidly as in any other part of the city. It goes without argument that no compromise should be accepted. Every ordinance of the city should be enforced on Chinatown as strictly as else- where. In no other section is a strict adherence to sanitary regulations so important as in that locality, for it is there that there is most danger of disease and pestilence. The property-owners of Chinatown are among the richest men in San Francisco. They can well afford to put their buildings in order and obey the laws. They should be compelled to do so. The bubonic hoard has neglected to enforce the health ordinances. Let the Grand Jury get to work. The racetrack began the local career of a2 young soldier visitor not long ago, and a determined effort at suicide has closed it. San [Franciscans are fa- miliar with such causes and effects. After the bubonic scare there ought to be a general clean-up. including the Board of Health, the Federal quarantine office and Chinatown. vill not get a | | campaign which did not include Bryan's presence on the stump. It was said that after his nomination he would go home and stay there until after election | day, and there would be no repetition of the speech- | making tour of 1896. The report was well received by the public. The people wished it to be true, and were therefore pre- | disposed to believe it. Many reasons were given to | confirm it. In the first place Bryan has canvassed the | country so extensively and so persistently during the gpasl four years that he has nothing to gain by making | another tour. He is as well known as he will ever be, | and it would be better for him were he less known. | Then it is remembered that in 1806 he lost the States | where he made speeches and carried only those m | which he did not speak. Finally it is now evident that Hill, Gorman and Democrats of that type are going to make an effort to regain control of the party, and should they succeed it would be an essential part | of the campaign to keep Bryan as silent as possibie | from start to finish. All of these reasons tended to a belief that the re- port was true, and there was a general feeling of re- lief. Bryan is one of those persons of whom a little is enough, and the public has had a great deal of him. Another season of his harangues will be decidedly ment from the stump would help the Democratic party, the Republicans were willing it should occur for the sake of the relief it would give the country. All of these fair expectations, however, are blighted. Bryan has returned from his fishing tour and has an- nounced in his first interview that he will make his own campaign plans, that he will have no managers, and that if he think ir best to take the stump he will do so. Now that the report has been upset we can see on what a flimsy basis it rested. It is true that Bryan's retirement from the stump would be reasonable and wise, and yet it should have been recognized that just because there are good reasons for it Bryan would take the other course. As soon as the campaign warms up and the people begin to gather in large assemblies to listen to orators Bryan will take to talking as a duck takes to water. He could no more hold his tongue than he could hold a wild colt by the tzil. Even when he was in the army for a few short weeks he was in dire distress because he could not make a speech every time his regiment paraded. He will be on the stump. It will be Hill and Gorman who will have to go home and stay there while the | campaign rages. STOCKTON IN HER GLORY. S EE Stockton and have a halcyon and vociferous time. That is the programme of the week. Stockton has held many public festivals and entertained many a joyous gathering, but never be- fore has she attained to anything like the glory or the rapfure of this occasion. She has painted herself to the glow of cherry red, blended with the freshness of | apple green, and for every one who visits her while | the fe: a royal time. There are reasons for a good deal of gratification in the revival this year of the festival spirit of the peo- ple. We have had this spring a succession of “street fairs,” as they are called, which impressively attest the abounding prosperity of the people of every sec- tion of the State, and the sense of joyous satisfaction which is felt in it. There is no reflection upon the preceding fairs in saying that the one now in progress in Stockton surpasses them all, for Californian enter- | prise is such that whoever speaks last or dcts last— tells the last story or arranges the last show—always sees his predecessor and goes a little bit better. Stock- | | ton has had the advantage of noting what were the most successful features at the festivals elsewhere and has known how to profit by it. Within her streets, | therefore, is to be seen just now the best that Califor- | nia can do in the way of open air decorations, enter- ! | tainments and frolics. | All San Franciscans who can afford to share in the fair should do so. It will furnish as pleasant a holi- day as is likely to be obtained anywhere this sum- { mer. Cherry red and apple green make a very allur- ing combination, and it is safe to say Stockton will live up to everything that is suggested by so gor- geous a combination of fruity colors. D the forces of the so-called insurgents in China are under command of Prince Tuan and that on the morning of June 21 he attacked the for- eign settlement at Tientsin “with artillery and the | best foreign drilled troops.” We have here an illus- tration of what comes of drilling Chinese in the methods and arms of civilization and of what they can do when so trained. ‘When the British and the French invaded China in the last generation they met scarcely any resistance on the march. Even when the Japanese but a few | years ago attacked China they found it easy to defeat | any force the Chinese brought against them. Now a considerable force of Americans, British, French, Russians and Japanese has been held at bay for weeks by a force that represents nothing more than an in- surrection in China and the reason for it is that the Chinese this time not only have artillery, but have it in the hands of foreign-drilled troops. Of course, the relief of Tientsin will not be long de- |layed. In a comparatively short time the allied armies will scatter the forces of Prince Tuan and march to Peking and there dictate such terms of peace | as their rivalries will enable them to decide upon. There are not enough foreign-drilled Chinese to make a long resistance, nor enough of arms and munitions | to enable them to make a persistent fight when once the capital is taken. The fact remains, however, that the foreign drilling has made them no mean foe and that civilization has a new factor to reckon with in A . the Chinese problem. It will be remembered that after the success achieved by Chinese Gordon had illustrated what can be done by Chinese when led and trained by Euro- peans, the British formed a body of Chinese troops for the protection of their posts in China, and two years ago when they took possession of Wei-Hai-Wei they organized a regiment of Chino-British troops and drilled it for police duty. Not long ago an opportunity was offered for testing the value of the regiment. A huge mob of Chinese attacked a num- *ber of British officers who were surveying and mark- ing the boundaries of the British district and for a time it looked as if there would be something like a massacre. The trained regiment was called out and responded with prompt obedience and discipline. It proved itself capable of dealing with a mob of twenty times its numbers. It fired upon the mob, dispersed it and fully protected the district entrusted to its guardianship. There was a good deal of congratulation in the I.-'O REIGN DRILLED CHINESE. ISPATCHES from Shanghai announce that | too much. Notwithstanding the fact that his retire- | ival lasts there will be a democratic welcome to | l British papers at the time over that proof of the fit- i ness of Chinese for military duties. It is not likely ! there will be so much congratulation now. It is | probable that among the foreign-drilled troops that | under Prince Tuan are threatening Tientsin and baf- | fing the advance of the relief force there may be some ! of the men whom the British trained for military duty i and whom they thought they could count on to fight | for Great Britain in any emergency. It is, however, a matter of little moment whether | among the Boxers there be any deserters from the | British-Chinese regiments or not. The significant i feature of the situation is that the Chinese can learn the arts of war as well as the arts of industry and can make use of them when roused to fanatic rage against forcign devils. There are now very few foreign- | drilled troops in the Chinese army and not many !:\rmcd with better weapons than the bow and the ! spear, but the number is increasing and with the in- | crease there come dangers for the conquering na- tions. We have seen what came from the awakening of Japan and may infer what would come from the awakening of China, for China has ten times the strength of Japan, and while she has been often over- run, she has never failed to engulf and absorb the con- quering race. BevEm T —————— IRISH FOR THE TRANSVAAL. A N Irish correspondent of the London Chronicle contributes to that paper an elaborate study of Irish emigration, and suggests that the British Government should by liberal aid to the emigrants | direct it for some time to come to the Transvaal. | His argument is that by so doing the Government | would gain for the empire a double good—first, it would retain in the empire thousands of Irish people who would otherwise come to the United States; and, second, plant in South Africa a prolific race loyal to the empire to counteract the Dutch element which is | now predominant there. | The writer says that the Irish who come to the United States become enemies of Great Britain, while those who emigrate to Canada, Australia or any other | part of the empire grow to be loyal, and he adds: | “Yet at this moment 35,000 Irish leave their country | every year to strengthen the hostile. element in an alien land, and only 5000 depart to strengthen the | British empire at its extremities. The process has been going on all these years without the least at- tempt being made by English politicians to arrest the current or turn it into a new direction. A favorable opportunity now presents itself for repairing this omission, and for offering to Ireland an outlet that will be gratifying to her pride as giving her a special | mission in the life of the empire, and that will grad- | ually divert the flow of emigration from America to | a different sphere.” | There is need for a good many loyal British sub- | | jects in South Africa, if the liberty loving Boers are tc be kept in order without expense to the empire, for the Dutch population breeds rapidly and at the | present time far outnumbers the people of British races residing in the country. There is but one rem- | edy, says the writer: “That is the free conveyance of 5000 Irish families to the soil of the two republics, the assignment of lands on the same principles as in etc., on the security of the lands, subject to the con- dition that the settlers will be released from repay- ment on bringing them under cultivation within a rea- | sonable period. In this way a population of between twenty-five and thirty thousand souls, considerably less than a year's emigration from Ireland, could be | obtained at once as the basis of a colony identified in | a specially honorable and striking degree with the | name of the sister island.” | The proposition sounds well, but there is many a well sounding plan that turns out different from expectation. It is quite possible that when the Irish emigrants and the Boers have made friends and inter- married there might zrise a combination among them Irish republic of the United States of South Africa. DONNELLY'S HORSE QUESTION. ALIFORNIA Democrats in State convention | C adopted a platform this year which is notable mainly for the fact that it has no silver plank. | New York Democrats adopted a platiorm declaring | for the money of Thomas Jefferson. In several other States similar tactics have been followed and silver has been either passed without a notice or the free coinage programme has been dodged. On the other hand, in many States Democratic conventions have adopted silver planks so big that forty donkeys can stand on them, and in nearly all of the States dele- gates to the national convention have been instructed for Bryan. Such a condition of affairs gives pertinence and point to the question put by Ignatius Donnelly in his letter of acceptance of the nomination for the Vice Presidency by the stalwart Populists. In comment- | ing upon the absurdity of Populist fusion with Bry- anism and Democracy the Minnesota champion of the “middle of the road” men and women put to the voters of the country this query: “If ten horses are hitched to the front of a cart, and ten horses equally strong are fastened to the tail end, will not the cart stand still?” It will be for the Kansas City convention to give heed to the horse sense of that question. If Bryan, free silver and anti-trust be hitched to one end of the | Democratic cart, while Tammany, Jefferson money and the ice trust be fastened to the tail end, will the cart move? If it should happen to move, which way will it move? The men who framed the Democratic platform in this State and put a Hearst plank in place of the silver plank were doubtless astute men, and no one has ever called Hill and Gorman fools, but the scheme of try- ing to dodge the silver question while nominating Bryan is but an ostrich wisdom at best. They may keep free coinage out of the platform to be adopted at Kansas City, but they cannot take it out of Bryan’s record, nor keep it out of his mouth, nor eliminate it {rom the minds of the people, nor remove it from the | issues of the campaign. By hitching a double team to its cart in such a way that one team pulls from the pole while the other pulis from the tailboard the Democratic leaders may fool some people at the start as to the direction in which the cart is likely to move, but nobody will be fooled any great length of time. With such pulling and hauling the old cart will either not move at all or it will go into the ditch. It is up to Democrats to answer the shrewd old Populist’s ho{se question. B Dr. Kinyoun, the discredited quarantine officer, in- sists that he is not responsible for the mistakes of transportation companies. He probably thinks that he has more than a I to carry in his own multi- tude of offenses and he is probably right.

Sacramento Bee. The Philadelphia North American tele- graphed on Thursday to the editors of the various prominent newspapers throughout | the United States as to the “logical” run- ning mate for Bryan in view of the nomi- | nation of Theodore Roosevelt for Vice | President by the Republican party. | According to a dispatch from Philadel- | phia the tabulated answers show a de-| cided preference for David B. Hill, while William R. Hearst comes in as next choice. The running mate for Bryan should be a man in whom the people have confi- dence. He should be a man like Bryan, full of principle, with the courage of his | convictions—a man belicving in the essen- | tial doctrines which Bryan has so gal- | lantly championed. | Because Roosevelt halls from New | York is no reason why only a New Yorker | need apply to make the race with Bryan. Geographical considerations have an un- due weight before conventions, but they are powerless as an argument with the | masses, unless to the Jargely fictitious ad- vantage of latitude and longitude is added | strength of character and devotion to | | principle gn the part of the candidate, and a trust reposed in him Dby the people. It would add no strength to Bryan to | put a New Yorker on the ticket with him, | if that New Yorker is to be elther a man who is not now and never was a crusader | for Bryan principles, but rather an en- | | emy thereto, or a man who, with all the | work of his papers, could not make him- | self acceptable to 'the voters either in New York or the West. | The Bee believes that no stronger can- didate for Vice President could be found than ex-Senator Stephen M. White of California. He Is a maa of great force of character, of marvelous mentality, really one of the strongest factors we have in | a nation of strong men. His integrity has | never been questioned, and his influence | over the people is as familiar as household words. B CALIFORNIA. New York Herald.
