BRITISH IMPERIAL TRADE. 7ILL the British empire establish a protective \/ tariff for the benefit of the colonies against the That is a question that is rapidly rising to be It ‘has been under discussion for some years, but was never given any great prominence uutil the outburst of the imperial sentiment caused by the South African war. Since that time, however, it has been taken up both in the mother country and in the colonies, and world? an important cne in British politics. new is developing considerable strength. At the recent congress of the Chambers of Com- merce of the empire the subject engaged most of the attention of the theeting. The colonial representatives | as a rule were strongly™in favor of it. while those from the famous free trade cities of Manchester and Bir mingham were opposed to it that of Trade. guarded in his utterances, but said enough to show a willingness to take some steps toward satisfying the He is reported by the London Chronicle “He believed that the days of the strict e trade Manchester school were passing away. He did not want to misicad them. He did not want them to infer that this country was likely to depart from i this free trade policy, but he thought, putting a rea- The chief speech was President Ritchie of the Imperial Board oi He spoke with official responsibility and was colonies. as saying: sonable construction on this policy, there might yet be closer commercial connectioh in the future than at present exists within the empire, and he hoped it might be brought about without the sacrifice of the fundamental principles of free trade, which have guided the commercial policy of this country for so ars past.” many ye After an elaborate discussion there was adopted a resolution declaring: her Maj of a Royal Commission, composed of representativas of Great Britain and her colonies and India, to con- | sider the possibilities of increasing and strengthening | the trade relations between the different portions of the empire; and that the chair nominate a representa tive deputation to wait upon the Premier, the Secfe- tary of State for the Colonies and the president of the Board of Trade, and lay the question fully before | them.” The British manufacturers would of course like to have a protected market for themselves in the colo- nies, but they are hardly will to grant protection for colonial goods in return. Cheap raw materials and cheap food are necessities for people the T'hat this congress urges upon sty's Government the appointment by them of mother country, and it will require very strong rea- | <ons to induce them to put a protective tax upon such rticles. That is the view of the case taken by the Chronicle itseli, and in commenting upon the resolu- tion,and the debate it says: “There is, of course, no | reason why the commercial bonds which unite us to | the colonies should not be drawn more tightly, ex- | cept the implied expectation an the part of the colo- nies that a close ring shail be formed excluding out- | siders. This is all very well for the colonies, who oc- | cupy the place of producers, but England is a nation | of consumers. By no possibility can we feed our- selves, and all the articles we require are not to be “ liad as abundantly and as cheaply from the colonies | as from foreign countries. In discriminating dgainst ;thosc countries, therefore, we raise the price of the i fcod we eat ourselves and of the raw material we re- | quire for our manufactures. In refusing cheap sugar | we diminish the amount of nourishment obtainable by nouncement of the position of the United States | we have not only the fleets and the forces to back our | s class of men, denouncing their Gov- | JISCO CALL, | our poorer classes. We fear, therefore, we can hardly ! go all the way with the colonies in the prosecution of | these aims.” | } POLITICAL PARASITES. PR Bl G / | PON every political party that has any chance of U success at the polls a gang of hungry parasites attaches itseli. As the chances for power and patronage increase the number and the voracity of the parasites increase. Thus it is inevitable that as the Republican party in San Francisco has now every prospect of electing every ticket it puts in the field, the number of scheming and greedy seli-seekers at- taching themselves to it should be large. In fact, so many of these hangers on, taxeaters and boodlers have fastened here and there upon the party that their presence constitutes a serious menace to the wel- fare of the organization. They lessen the chances of that very victory by which they hope to profit. Chief among the dangerous parasites of the party | is the saloon following of toughs and touts under the bossdom of Crimmins and Kelly. The two bosses are very willing to make use of any kind of tool that can be serviceable to the purposes they have in view. Tt matters nothing to them whether the gang are Repub- licans or not so long as they can be enrolled in Re- publican clubs and have the privilege of voting for Any kind of a vote that will help the bosses officers. to clect a delegate to the county convention suits | | them. They are in politics not for “the principle of the thing,” nor for their heaith. They are “out for the stuff” and “in for the spoils,” and if any induce- ment were offered them would as soon knife the party ticket on election day as help it. Ample evidence has been given that the people of San Francisco will not any longer submit to boss domination, and will oppose any ticket that is sus- pected of being dominated or nominated by the bosses of the ward gangs. The very appearance the saloon push and pull at a Republican convention would weaken the whole ticket. Nothing is to be gaired by compromising with a set of men whose very profession of being Republicans is itseli compro- mising to the party. What would it profit Republi- cznism to make terms with Crimmins and Kelly and lose the support of hundreds of independent voters who will not tolerate boss politics? - This is a Republican year. Public sentiment is cverwhelmingly for McKinley and Roosevelt on the of platiorm of prosperity against Bryan and Stevensoa | on a platform of calamity and denunciation. It m: be that some Republicans are sanguine that the favor with which the national ticket is regarded is so strong | that it will carry the local tickets to victory even if | vellow dogs be permitted to dominate them. If such sanguine expectations exist,, the they are abandoned the better. San Francisco Republicanism is strong enough to carry almost anything just now, but it cannot carry Crimmins and Kelly farther than the nearest dumping-ground, slaughter-house or graveyard. sooner THE CHARLESTON CONFERENCE. “3IROM every point of view it is gratifying that the attendance upon the National Ed- ucational Association Convention at Charles- ton is sufficiently large and notable to render the gathering one of the most influential of its kind. The Southern leaders have made earnest efforts in the cause of public education since the war, and have achieved much success; but they have been heavily handicapped by the poverty of their | States, the indifference of many of the poor whites | to the advantages of education, and the nec maintaining two sets of schools, one for whites and one for blacks. hus the South is far behind other | sections of the Union in school matters, and the peo- ple there need every encouragement which can be given them in their educational work. At the recent conierence on “Education at the South,"” held at Capon Springs, West Virginia, much stress was laid upon the backward condition of the schools and colleges of that section and the large percentage of illiteracy among the people. In the six New Eng- land States and in New York, New Jersey and Penn- sylvania, the average illiteracy in 1800 among the native white population over ten years of age was only 2.31, and among the colored population 2r.71. At the same period in the Southern States the per- centage of illiteracy was: ity of White. Colored. Alabama .44 C! | Arkansas 16.56 | Florida Georgia Louislana . Mississippi North Carolina . South Carclina . Tennessee . Texas Virginia . From the contrast between the statistics for the New England and the Middle States and those for the South it will be seen how far the Southern peo- ple have to progress in school matters before they are abreast with the rest of the republic. the outlook is encouraging. As was stated at ths Capon conference by the Rev. G. S. Dickerman of New Haven: Much more interest is shown among Southern teach- ers in the coming National Educational Association meeting in Charleston than among Northern teachers. The educational spirit is abroad in the land, and schools discussed in hotels and on cars and steamboats; er appropriations are asked and granted, and the school is coming o be looked upor: as a defense against the disorders of society and the promoter of general prosperity. The dignity and importance of the convention at Charleston will of course aid in stimulating Southern interest in educational problems, and the Northern educators who at this season of the year have gona to that far Southern city to attend the convention, are doing a valuable service to the republic—a service which the citizens of Charleston have given ample | evidence of appreciating. Some of the ill-mated couples of California, who | hiave found marriage a failure, may find some consola- | tion in the fact that the contradictory opinions of | that marriage is not as stable as it might be. | It is now reported that some of the Alaskan In- dians have dug up the war hatchet; and the objection on the part of the heathen to any further extension of civilization seems to be growing all over Asia, Africa and North America. ! Bryan, Stevenson and Towne had a grand rally at Lincoln the other night, and showed a good deal of enthusiasm over their nominations, so we may now consider the campaign in Nebraska to be wide open. —_— | We would advise no man in good business to go | to Nome on a venture, but Colonel Bryan would do better to go there and work for gold than to stay at home and yell for free silver. . One of our local judges is convinced that we ought to have a national law governing marriage. Under such a law what in the world would become of our Sulu fellow citizens?
