"‘l"HIL‘Bryan platform is rich in denunciation of government by injunction, and by reaffirming the Chicago platform projects into this cam- paign its destructive atiack on the courts. If one will reflect upon the incidents of the State convention at Sacramento there will appear the deliberate and tlanned purpose to remove from, property its judi- cial protection. Hon. Dan Ostrom sought to be made a delegate at large. His long public experience and capacity for leading men by convincing their reason would have made him a strong man on the delega- tion. He has always made his living by farming, is a large owner of real property, all earned by hard work, and has a good citizen’s respect for law and He lives under government by injunction. Like other farmers in the Sacramento Valley, he holds possession of his land against destruction by hydraulic mining by virtue of Judge Sawyer’s in- ] on. The Populist control of Democracy di- 1t such 2 man cn the delegation. Nor did that control that is behind Populism want him. It is an old wholesome principle of the common law that iile 2 man may enjoy his own, his use stops when Behind all of these ks upon law and order a sinister influence ich chafes under that principle, and it uses Popu- m, anarchy, socialism, nihilism and every other m of attack upon the rights of property to carry its purpose.

Not the least of its s in its flattery of the people. It whispers truths, which are fundamental under, our system of government—that they are the source power, therefore why not exercise it directly, with- the mediation of representatives? Those who are taunted with being afraid of the peo- g to trust them, and desirous of taking from the masses. In the very nature of appeals one can feel the rising of the deluge 11 be if once the floodgates are raised. to secure and per- petuate free, representative self-government. What- hat system of government smites Whatever destroys it destroys the con- most to them power thes that Our constitution was made ever invades constitution. ut The on. people in their economic life practice represen- tation. The farmer does not shoe his own horse, but is represented in that operation by the blacksmith. The ith does not raise his own wheat, but is represented by the farmer. Each shows his capacity cks to goverri his own affairs by the correctness of his | judgment in selecting his representative in these economic operations. The men who made the con- stitution simply carried this universal economic prin- ciple into government. Citizens who have not the time to study the relation of a public policy or legal principle to their interests select a representative who by reason of his representative character moved to give the time required to master the ques- tions that inhere in government. No one will pre- tend that the economic system of the country would prosper if demagogues should go out teaching the people that one man can shoe horses. raise wheat, weave cloth or paint pictures just as well as another, and therefore needs no representative in any of these es lying outside his own vocation. Nor will any one, not partisan mad, pretend that all juridicable matters and all the legislation and administration of government can be carried on at the ballot-box and made a part of the politics of the country Liberty regulated by law was established by the constitution. License regulated by the potent pas- yns which attend party action is to be substituted.

It has dwelt at length and with noise and effusion upon the losses that we suffer employment of foreign bot- the transportation of our vast ocean com- it that ty has had two administrations e of cur shipping began, with Con- toms » remedy the difficulty of which it complains. The lican party believes in American bottoms for American trade and proposes to secure them by a reasonable bounty system, the fruits of which will go mainly into the wages of labor. This is bit- terly antagonized, of course, by the Democrats. But do they want American cargoes under the American flag? If they do, how do they propose to go about it? This is a campaign of affirmations, not negations. The people are not so much interested in viewing with alarm or poirting with pride as they are in what ! affirmative policy parties will follow when in power. If the reasonable bounty system to employ labor in rebuilding our merchant marine is wrong, let the Democrats show that it is, and plainly tell the coun- try what they will substitute for it to secure the same result. The object to be =zttained is the restoration of American shipping and ship-building. in order to keep at home about $100,000,000 a year paid to for- eign ship-owners for freight on our products trans- ported abroad for sale. In ten years this amounts to a billion of dollars. We contribute that much every decade to pay wages to foreign labor in ship- building and profits to foreign ship-owners, sailors, underwriters and all the widespread interests im- pinged upon the ocean trade. How do the Democrats propose to secure this for otir own people? Yowling about the Republican policy will not answer the question. It is simply an evasion. If it be desirable that our own people en- joy these profits and benefits, what is the Democratic plan? To prevent the railroad and the saloon bosses from controlling ‘the Legislature and so getting power to apportion the electoral districts of the State for the: next ten years, every Republican must do his duty.

As the interest is not always ac- | companied by a knowledge of the facts of the situa- Etion, there grows out of it no end of misconceptions, misrepresentations and foolish alarms. We had illus- | trations of such errors in the exaggerated reports | ago, and now we have more of the same kind in the expression of Eastern fears that the people of San | | Francisco will burst out in mob violence and inflict | rages committed by Boxers upon Americans in China. tention by a correspondent living in Pittsburg, Pa. He sends us an editorial from the Pittsburg De- spatch commenting upon the supposed danger to the Chinese in this city, and saying: “To undertake to ‘lhem would be to show that we have in the United | States an element as bag as the Chinese without the | mitigation of ignorance. If there is any tendency in | that direction it will devolve on both the local and general governments to prove they have more virility jin compelling order than the Chinese *Government ‘ImsA So far frankness must admit the disagreeable | fact that our Government makes a poor showing in | this respect, for while both China and the United States have paid indemnity for mob outrages China has sometimes punished the rioters and the United States never has.” sonal appeal to The Call to use its columns and to | “induce other Western newspapers to do all in their power to suppress even the appéarance of a desire or | intent to revenge the massacres of our American missionaries by ma | cur land. |:md he adds: “If the columns of our public-press | teem with appeals to the pride and manhood of our | citizens, whether native or foreign born, asking them | to demonstrate under these most aggravating cir- cumstances and appeals for vengeance that our Chris- zation is so much superior to the heathen | barbarism that has characterized the murder and 'massacre of our Christ missionaries, the present \ uan civ serious and intensely aggravating scenes afford the American people an instance such as the world’s his- | tory has never had of demonstrating to the entire | world the superiority of our Christian civilization.” 1l of that is most excellent in sentiment and in- tent, but it is nevertheless the expression of an alarm | absolutely uncalled for. In San Francisco there is | not the slightest danger of an attack on Chinatown | { or on the Chinese tesiding in other parts of the lcst}. So far from doing mob violence to any of the | race, it is becoming doubtful whether we shall even | succeed in getting the Board of Health and the police to enforce the sanitary laws within the district ere most of them dwell. among Californians to anything like the extent our | Eastern friends imagine. There is an opposition to | the immigration of Chinese to the country, but that is based upon reason and not prejudice. There has never been a suggestion in the press or on the streets of this city of anything like an attack upon the race by way of revenge for what has been done by the Boxers. content. Nothing will be done in San Francisco ‘of | a retaliatory kind, nor is there even a desire on the part of anybody to attempt it. L O UR Governmeat has no Victoria Cross, carry- ing with it honor and distinction, to confer | of conspicuous heroism in war. Consequently when | a noble deed is nobly done under circumstances of extreme danger, there can be no suspicion that the | hero was in any way animated by a desire to achieve the coveted distinction. His act, like that of the brave fireman, Sweeney, in this city, stands forth as an exhibition of the heroic performance of duty solely, and is therefore free ifrom even a suspicion that would | dim its luster. It is to the glory of our army that its officers and | its men have needed no medals nor special honors | to rouse them to heroic deeds, and yet when such deeds are done there should be something of a loyal { recognition of them. The feat of Lieutenant Conrad | in carrying Lieutenant Butler from under the fire of | the Chinese in the zttack on Tientsin is a case in point. The Ninth Regiment advanced across an open plain swept by a flanking fire to attack the en- | trenched foe. In the attack Butler was wounded. Conrad carried him from the field, and, although he | was himseli twice wounded in doing so, swam a ditch | still carrying his friend. We are told in the dispatches that one of Conrad's wounds was so severe that his arm had to be amputated. A deed of that kind is genuine heroism of the high- est and purest type. that inspires men to valor and to fidelity. adds a luster to the nation itself, for a country that of respect and admiration. We need no cross of honor to incite our soldiers to noble actions, but it is c_lear we do need some fitting way to manifest the national recognition of their valor. e — Jackals will fall upon and devour one another when there is no other carrion feast with which to satisfy their greedy hunger. The grewsome revelations which The Call has made of the ghouls who operate in the Probate Court of Judge Troutt indicate that human wolves are prone to the same practice. By reason of the sensation in China the public has ceased to pay much sttention to the war in South Africa, and it may therefore be well to point out that Lord Roberts has still occasion to begin a good many dispatches with the familiar phrase, “I regret to an- nounce.” —_— Japan is congratulating herself on the fact that in the pr:gent crisi_s she has no missionaries in China. The Mikado evidently believes that the most cons vincing argument to be used in the reformation of Chinese is that which is carried in a cartridge belt. — It is stated that General Palmer is perfectly willing to be renominated for the Presidency as a Gold Democrat, and in fact there is a suspicion he will vote that ticket whether it be nominated or not. David Bennett Hill's famous saying, “I am a Demo- crat,” is now a back number, and the country is now waiting to hear whether he will have the nerve to say “I am a Bryanite.” The Bryanites insist that Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin are doubtful States this year, and we have thus another proof that to doubtful people everything is doubtful. | given of the bubonic plague quarantine a short time | | upon the Chinese of this city retaliation for the out- The matter has been brought directly to our at- | | revenge by mob violence the outrages in China on | Chinamen in this country who had no participation in | To that editorial our correspondent adds a per- | sacreing innocent Chinamen in | His plea is written with full earnestness, | Race animosities against the Chinese do not exist | On that score the Eastern people may he | | upon those who in its service perform deeds | It is the sort of achievement | It even | has such men as that in her armies will never fail | JULY 22, 1900 B | stage, which is ornamented with a bust of Ibsen; | on left end of shelf a human skull, which is instantly recognized (by all of the au- dience who have read “When We Dead CENE—A room in Ulfheim’s hut in the mountains.

The room is filled with smoke arising from the bear steak, which Maia is with difficulty cooking as fast as Ulfheim can eat. MAIA.
