They concern every citizen and affect every business The forces discontent are banded to- gether in a firmer organization than ever before, and tute a formidable force. They can be defeated v by the energetic action of all who stand for pro- tection, sound money, conservative government and prosperity. It is as sure as shooting that all who are discontented will register; all the gangs of bar- room voters who follow and uphold the bosses will register; every voter who has a vote he wishes to sell vill register—in short, all the evil elements of our political life will be registered, and unless there be on the rolls a preponderance of good citizens the vote of California will be given for Bryan. To the Republicans of San Francisco the issue is of particular importance. They have to combat Crim- mins and Kelly within the party as well as the Bryan- ite demagogues without. Not one single loyal Repub- lican should by a neglect to register forfeit his privi- lege of voting right at the coming election. Every stanch Republican vote will be needed. Among the earnest Republicans of the city thers should be something of a canvass on the issue. Pass the question round, “Have you registered?”’ Let the attention of all good citizens be directed to this duty. It is imperative. interest The Fourth of July orator at Boston, instead of exalting the Revolutionary statesmen, pointed out every fault or flaw he could find in them, and then called upon the people of the city to see how much better living statesmen are than those of the past. It was a very good scheme in its way, but Boston must have a queer lot of public men when <he cannot find any way of praising them except by denouncing Adams and Hancock. In discussing the future of the Liberal party in Great Britain a few days ago John Morley said the Liberals must either go forward toward*the improve- ment of the condition of the working classes or else get out of the way and let the socialists come to the front as the opponents of Toryism. It will be remembered that just before he went to Kansas City David Bennett Hill said a live party chould be able to make a new platform every four years; and since the Bryanites reiterated the old one the natural inference of Mr. Hill will be that Democ- racy is dead. A New York manufacturer of fireworks estimates that for the celebration of the Fourth of July there was ex- pended upward of $8,000.000 worth of fireworks of various kinds, so it will be seen that your Uncle Sam not only has money to burn, but burns it. It is stated that in New York the betting is six to four on McKinley against Bryan in the State election, and probably if any bets were made on the way the country will go the odds would be 16 to 1. THE SILV,E,R,_ PLANK. HERE was some comedy and some tragedy in rxlxe struggle in Kansas City over the silver plank. A large part of the Democritic conven- | tion were aware of the Chicago platform as a dark brown taste in the party’s mouth. When its reitera- tion was demanded the very men who helped make it objected, on the ground that its clauses damnatory of the courts were put in on account of the Chicago | strike riots, and as these were forgotten now there are no votes in attacking the courts! There have been strange things, and for strange motives, put in na- | tional platiorms before, but we doubt if anything | equals this admission of the reason for threatening to | destroy the judicial protection of the rights of person and property. At Kansas City the battle in the platform committee first raged over the question of reaffirmation or re- iteration of the Chicago platiorm. The difference is not to be distinguished by any except the politicians, who were hunting some form of action which would catch the votes of two diametrically opposed elements, by making each believe that the platform | agreed with it upon the very point that divides them. The students of theological division have been often puzzled over the difference between Houmosianism and Homousianism. Hereafter the students of American politics will puzzle over the difference that caused battle between the reaffirmationists and the re- ionists at Kansas City. It appe: by what information dribbled through the keyhole that the reaffirmation party was made up who supported Bryan four years ago, on the ground of regularity, reinforced by some who thought free silver was a good winner, but have changed their minds. The first supported silver but believed in the Jld standard, and were in actual sympathy with the Gold Democrats, who had the courage of their con- victions and were come-outers. of thos These two elements desired to slough silver, free | 11, and to retire the Chicago plat- it was re- coinage, ratio and a form from public view by saying that affirmed.

Missouri is afraid that Dick Bland’s ghost will come again if she fail to stand for free silver, and down in that country nothing is feared like ““a hant.” Of course South Carolina had to stand by the unspeakable Tillman, and there you are! Free silver, the great Southern issue remembered by only five out of fifteen States! In the North States of California, [llinois, Indiana, Towa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin stood like a wall against free silver, or any kind of silver, at any ratio. They were beaten, defeated, downed and overruled by the votes of Hawaii and Alaska! Had those two far and rotten boroughs not been in the convention the vote would have stood 23 against free silver to 25 for, and the tie would have lost the affirmative side and the cause itself. When Hawaii and Alaska are called in to referee, or umpire, in issue that so intimately affects the welfare of great commercial and business States, and a combined constituency of the two, amounting to less than three thousand, who don’t vote at the Presidential election, fastens a policy upon a party that seeks to control the government, it is time for citizens of the republic to combine their strength and repudiate such primac’y in their affairs from such a source. Delaware, now c gan, another. The result was not reached without much bad blood | being shown. George Fred Williams expressly put it on the ground that the party must please the Popu- lists, and he declared this preferable to doing any- thing to win back “the traitors” who organized the Gold Democracy in 1806. George Fred may be fol- lowed by his tracks, heel to every party and toe to the camp of another, in his several political elopements. The charms of Bryan have satisfied him longer than , any other, but after the next election he may be seen , at the window with. his rope ladder, waiting for the new party to whistle. That California and Oregon stood against silver is significant. Tt shows that the party leaders in these two States have learned something in four years. They see their only chance for life is repudiation of Popu- lism and all its works. They see also that with free silver in the platform the Pacific Coast will continue Republican. So mote it b NEW CABINET POSITIONS. i LANKS declaring in favor of the creation of a | p new department of the Federal Government, to be under the control of an official of Cabinet rank, are to be found in both the Republican and the | Democratic platforms. In neither of them, however, is the demand for the creation of a department of mines afdd mining, which has been for a long time under discussion and which is fully as meritorious as | either of those asked for by the two conventions. | The Republican platform declares: “In the inter- est of our expanding commerce we recommend that i Congress create a department of commerce and indus- | tries, in charge of a secretary aith a seat in the Cabi- | net. The United States consular system should be re- ‘[organixed under the supervision of this new depart- | ment upon such a basis’ of appointment and tenure ! as will render it still more serviceable to the nation’s | increasing trade.” The Democratic platform says: “In the interest of American labor and the upbuilding of the working- There is one point in which the Chinese Boxer is.| men as the corerstones of the prosperity of our superior to the American variety—he fights more than he talks. country, we recommend that Congress establish a Alabama Democrats are unanimously for | the great ! seat in the Cabinet, believing that the elevation of the American laborer will bring with it increased produc- tion and increased prosperity to our country at home and to our commerce abroad.” There are no reasons why there should be any par- tisanship in matters of this kind, and it is not likely that any will arise. The industrial and commercial activities of the country have outgrown the present governmentai forms. Much of our commercial busi- ness is now carried on under bureaus of the Treasury Department, while all the consular offices are under control of the State Department. Thus there is con- fusion and divided authority where there should be system and harmony, and as a consequence the de- mand for a department of commerce has been long manifest. The argument for a department of labor has not { been so apparent as that for the commerce depart- ment. The present Labor Bureau has done its work with eminent success, and it is doubtful whether much would be gained by raising it to the rank of a Cabinet department. But the request of the miners for a de- partment of mines and mining. which both parties | have overlooked, is fully as important as either of those which have been indorsed. The mining indus- try is one of the largest in the country, and has im- portant branches in every section of the Union. Its affairs are now scattered ‘through half a dozen | bureaus, and are even more confused than those of commerce. Therefore, when Congress enters upon a consideration of the claims of commerce and of la- bor for Cabinet departments it should not be per- mitted to overlook the claims which the mining men | have so long and so justly urged | [ SENDING THE NEWS E@ST’ { GOOD move has been made by the Native Sons in organizing a committee on information and publicity for the purpose of advertising the coming jubilee celebration not only to the Pacific | Coast States but throughout the Union. Such adver- tising is bound to be beneficial. All advertising is, and California can never have too much of it. In the reports sent to the East special stress should be laid upon the cool, invigorating air of San Fran- cisco summers. California has been mainly noted as a winter resort. The enterprising men who built up the southern section of the State have made the at- consequently the tide of such travel comes West at that season and returns East with the spring. Now California offers as many inducements to Eastern people to leave the sweltering cities of that section ir the summer and the early fall as it does for them to escape the blizzards of the winter, and the fact should | be thoroughly advertised. At the present time the whole East, from Maine to Georgia, is complaining of an excessively hot sum- mer. It is in vain that the people fly from the Mis- sissippi Valley to the Atlantic seashore in search of cool breezes, for it is about as hot in the one place s in the other. If the pleasantness of the California ummer were made as fully, known as is the mildness of the California winter, it is hardly to be doubted that we should have almost as large a number of tour- October as there are in the southern counties from | January to May. for Eastern people as well as for those of the Pacific | Coast. Climate is not the only delight we shall have to offer to all visitors at that time. From the prepara- tions already made it is evident the festival will be one of the finest and most enjoyable in our history. It is therefore right that the people of every section of the Union should be notified of the event and in- vited to come West ard join in Extensive adver- tising will at least let the country know that we are | alive and flourishing and have a welcome for all. S THE CZAR'S LATEST FAD. INCE the failure of his peace conference to set in motion any sort of train of events that would afford him continual amusement the Czar is said | to have been occupying himself with devising a set of rules for the use of press censors in supervising the newspapers of his realm. According to a Vienna dis- patch the results of his labors on the subject have been recently promulgated in the following instruc- | tions: | “1. No reference to | troops or warships. “2. Papers must bear in mind that the Czar is ac- tvated only by a desire to maintain peace and good | will among the nations. : “3. No gossip about differences among the powers | that would be displeasing to the Government. “4. No criticism of Russian diplomacy or of military or naval strategy. “s. Editorial writers should recollect that Russia is predestined to predominate in Asia. “6. Comparisons may be made between Russian and foreign troops and scamen when unfavorable to | foreigners.” Under these instructions the censors will have an easy time in dealing with any newspaper that under- takes to publish war news. There will be no need to read it. Its suppression can be ordered at once, for how could any such news be published without say- | ing something about the movements of Russian fleets | and armies, or criticisms upon them for not moving? The order forbidding gossip about differences among | the powers, will go far toward justifying a suppression | of any sort of discussion of international events or of the European concert. Finally, what can be said of any feature of foreign affairs when there is to be no | criticism of Russian diplomacy or of military or naval strategy? About the only consoling thing for editors which the orders contain is the decree that editorial writers should recollect that Russia is predestined to pre- dominate in Asia. That announcement will save a whole lot of wear and tear on the editorial brain. Tt affords them one subject on which they can write at large and freely. iust as in the United States it is always permissible to twist the lion's tail. There is of course some little further relief in the assurance that comparisons may be made between Russians and foreign troops and seamen when unfavorable to for- eigners, but after all comparisons are odious and are likely to be risky. Some comparison, for example, might be made unfavorable to the troops of the Kaiser. and then the editor would be subject to con- demnation for “gossip displeasing to the Govern- ment!” In fact, a wise newspaper man. after reviewing care- fully all the orders, would ponder deeply upon that which warns him to bear in mind that the Czar is ac- tuated only by a‘desire to maintain peace and good will among the nations, and he would devote his paper mainly to an agitation for another international con- ference on the subject of general disarmament. —— the movement of Russian The march to Peking hasn’t been much more pros- perous thus far than Buller's first attempts to march to Pretoria.

Fitting tribute was yesterday paid to existence to the work of helping others when funeral services were held over the remains of Dr., Henry Daniel Cogswell. In accordance with the wish expressed during his life the services were simple, but none the less impressive. At 10 a. m. Pioneer Hall was crowded girls, the latter students of the Cogswell Polytechnic School, which will remain a lasting monument to the memory of the philanthropist. The Rev. Dr. J. N. Moore of the Methodist Church preached an elo- quent and touching funeral sermon over the remains. The coffin, covered with white flowers, the gift of those the man had benefited. was then borme out on the shoulders of the pallbearers, all with the exception of Oscar Lewis, a trustee of the Cogswell | School, members of the Soclety of Cali- | fornia Ploneers, of which the deceased was an active member.

Watson's requires | these and several other accessorfes | | to persuade to serfousness. It is an amus- | ing composition of the conventional pyra- midal plan, and the sheep are dragged in | anyhow to'conform to the pattern. The | method of treatment is photographiec, | every hair on every sheep is painted and | every blade of grass is given. Absolutely nothing is left to the imagination. The | color has the same painful literalness, | and, all things considered, the curtain | and’the price are a distinct impertinence. In the same gallery, for contrast, is a | charming little sheep plcture of Felix Brissot, in which drawing, color and | composition are allke admirable. The sheep are drawn with a sure and tender touch; the sky is luminous and alive: the foreground is fitted to its purpose with a fine intuition, and the whole effect is truthful and beautiful. There are a couple of John Hafen's pic- tures, made in California, on exhibition here this week. One, a Leona Heights landscape, is a very pleasing composition, with the exception of an amorphous mass of follage in the middle distance., which mars the effect. It Is nice color all through, though perhaps a bit cold. The | other picture is a wood and stream sub- | ject and is fairly interesting. Mr. Hafen | Is now painting in Monterey. | _There are other artists 'In Monterey | also, quite_a _Brittany school of them. Sidney J.

Thaddeus Weich has a nice color scheme in his sketch of Bolinas Bay, now some time on exhibition, and it is a happy little composition. An Interesting study of appointments, with an incidental figure, is the large wa- ter-color by Leouls Ballly His textures are admirable. His carved wood Is real wood, hard and shining. The brasses and tapestry are unmistakably metal and wool, and the Perslan rug seems velvet to the touch. The girl's head is deftly and charmingly treated, but not so the hand, which is flly drawn, and no girl's hand, either. As a composition the can- vas Is too “‘busy.” There is no center of interest. Now the cabinet attracts; now the rug: then the oaken chest, and o on, | till the girl's figure, naturally the chief theme, Is lost sight of in the division of | interest. An embarrassment of riches, truly. —e——————— ANNUAL MEETING OF THE LEAGUE OF THE CROSS | | | | | Cadets Making Arrangements for the | ‘Encampment to Be Held in | Santa Cruz. | The incorporators of the League of the Cross held their annual meeting at the | headquarters of the society last night for the purpose of electing officers to serve | for the ensuing year.
