FREIGHT RATE DISCRIMINATIONS, f\ tions against San Francisco is reported in our ’ commercial columns Saturday. The Gov- ernment has been buying oats here for the Orient, end the business has been profitable to the port, but it now appears that through the discriminations of the wailroads Chicago is to take the trade from us: The weports show that to the Government a rate of 6o «cents per cental has been given from Chicago clear through to Japanese or Chinese ports. As the or- dinary rate from Chicago to San Francisco on oats is 55 cents, there remains for the ocean transportation wonly 5 cents, while San Francisco has to pay five ©or six times that much. By this discrimination Chicago is able at the pres- ent price of oats to land them at oriental ports at $1 35 per cental, while San Francisco cannot supply them at those points for less than $1 65. That means of course that this city is barred out of that important branch of the oriental trade, and the bar- ring out is done by railway discriminations which artificially overcome the vast natural advantages we possess from our geographical situation. This new form of an evil against which our mer- «chants have long protested should arouse renewed ef- forts on the part of the whole Pacific Coast to pro- vide some means of adequate and prompt redress for such wrongs. It is to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission of course that we must look for relief. In that commission there are two defects. First, it has not the power to enforce its decisions with firmness and directness, and, secondly, it has no representative of the Pacific Coast among its members. To remedy these defects the strength of the whole coast delega- tion should be now directed. The commission has repeatedly asked Congress for greater powers and has submitted ample reasons why the request should be granted. Our Congressmen should from this time ‘on cordially support that re- quest. Moreover, the movement that has been started 1o obtain a representation for the coast on the board should be kept moving. There is no vacancy just now, but the Pacific Coast men should be prepared to act with energy as soon as the next vacancy takes place. We cannot afford to sit still and permit our commerce to be taken away from us by a gang of railroad magnates who seem to regard the Pacific Coast and California in particular as nothing more than a province to be exploited in the interests of the Ecst.

OLONEL BRYAN will soon be busy accepting C nominations. It is his open season for accept- ing. He has three to accept and will do it separately, He will commit political trigamy; will, in fact, publicly wed himself to three different parties, the ceremonies to be close together in point of time and the honeymoons to be concurrent and coter- minous. But few public men have enjoyed this fe- licity, but as it is all he will get out of the campaign no one grudges it. It is an economical proceeding, since one outfit serves for all three ceremonies. He will shortly proceed to Indianapolis for the Democratic wedding. It will be a great day for Hoosier. Mayor Taggart will offer the freedom of the city, the statue of George Rogers Clark will have its ears pierced by the strident strains of “Dixie” and *On the Wabash,” and Bryan will deliver an oration which White River will echo back from her atra- | bilious shores. Hawkins, John P. Frenzel, John Wil- | son, Shecrin and the other Gold Democrats will hunt holes, and as for the Republicans, they may grin but will have to bear it. o When he accommodates acceptance to the speeches he must make at the other two ceremonies, diluting it to Populism and Silver Republicanism, one can fancy Jo McDonald, Michael C. Kerr, Hendricks and English laying by their harps and their music lesson to listen, and then return to picking celestial | catgut, with the remark that if that is Democracy they must have belonged to some other party when in the flesh. Aifter it is over Colonel Bryan will sweep and gar- nish his mind for the Populist acceptance. The place of this ceremony has not yet been fixed. It must be remembered that the peanut and pink lemonade privi- | lege at these shows is of value, and it is a weighty matter to decide upon what city to bestow it. Chicago is too big, ‘and Sunrise City, Kans., is too | little for it. Lincoln stubbornly votes against Bryan, | so he won’t have it there, and at present the feast is | movable. The same is true of the Silver Republican nomina- tion. It is so difficult to find a place where there are | three members of the party that it may be necessary ‘m import enough to witness the ceremony and sign | the certificate. : Another difficulty is the nomination of Mr. Towne, a Sikver Republican, for Vice President. Mr. Towne | figures as a sort.of floating kidney in politics. The | party he belongs to would not nominate him. The Democrats sat | ed him. It is hard for Colonel Bryan to accept the Democratic nomination and speak of Stevenson his and the honor of being on the ticket with him and | then lay his political hand on his political heart and | tell the Populists that the proudest act of his life is accepting a nominaticn with Towne! In any but fusion politics the situation would be embarrassing. After these three ceremonies are’ finished the coun- try will be notified that the campaign is open.

THE @MERICAN NEWSPAPER. ELOS F. WILCOX contributes to Annals of the American Academy an article on the Amer- ican newspaper, giving to it the subtitle of “A Study in Social Psychology.” It is the opinion of the writer that the press of a city refiects-the social condi- | tions of the community, and consequently that we | can note the diverging courses of development in dif- | ferent parts of the United States by a careful com- parison of the differences in their newspapers. Whether that theory be true or not, the article fur- nishes a good deal of interesting information concern- ing American newspapers ing the study, Mr. W For the purpose of mak- cox obtained copies of 240 out | of the 250 newspapers cf the country having a circula- | tion of more than 7500 a day. He classified their | contents as: News, illustrations, literature, opinion | and advertisements, and proceeded to note the pro- portion of each found in the various papers. Then, | for the purpose of further investigation, he subdi- | vided news into several departments, such as war, foreign, political, business, sporting, society, crime and vice and general news. subdivided and a study made of the comparative { amount of space taken in different cities by want ad- vertisements, medical advertisements, retail advertise- ments, self-laudatory advertisements by the paper and niscellaneous advertisements. { Some of the results of the investigation are curious. | San Francisco stands away above all other news cen- ters in the proportion of illustrations. It also stands first in want advertisements, but is last in retail adver- | tisements, being in these respects almost the exact opposite of Pittsburg. New York has journals of all ;descriplions. setting the pace in conservative and in | yellow journalism alike, but does not occupy the first | or the last place in any department. illustrations Boston comes next to San Francisco, with St. Louis, Denver and New York in their order. Philadelphia stands first in society news and last in medical advertisements. Chicago stands second in literature and nearly Jast in the amount of space given [ing “the best average among its leading newspapers of any great city in the United States.” Baltimore and Washington City have no other peculiarities than that of ranking next to Boston at the bottom of the list of busimess news. Pittsburg has the honor of standing first in retail advertising and next to the last in want advertisements. Of St. Louis and Cincinnati it is said they are “the most notable centers of yellow journalism in the country. They keep remarkably close in the matter of percentages. Both stand high in illustrations, medical advertisements and news of crime and vice, while they stand very low in letters, editorials, literature and retail advertisements.” Louisville stands firgt in business news, Buffalo first | in sporting news and in ‘advertisements as a whole, Cleveland first in foreign news, New Orleans first in war news and editorials, and Milwaukee is first in the amount of space given to literature. Such are some of the salient points of this elaborate study. In some respects they wilt cause no little sur- prise. 'Why should Milwaukee be at the head of the column in literature> Why should Boston give little space to cither literature or business? Why should New Orleans lead in editorials?2 If there be any psychological explanation of such things, it will take an expert to find it out. There is some satisfaction apparently in being even the tail of the donkey if it is properly placed. The Populists with becoming resignation have agreed to accept second place to the Democrats in everything. opened a vision of awful possibility.

She has sent com- paratively few troops to the scene of action, and is making no preparations to send more. She has made no attempt to take the leadership of the allies, and none to seize Chinese territory. On the contrary, she has been eagerly seeking to obtain a general agree- ment of the powers not to partition China, and, fur- thermore, has been sufficiently seli-sacrificing, not o call it submissive, to permit the Russians to take con- trol of a railroad built by British capital. . AlL these things are so different from the usual course of the British that they naturally give rise to comment. As a rule Great Britain has welcomed any disturbances of the kind now going on in China with a glad heart and a ready hand. She has known how to make use of them for the purpose of extending her empire, and many of her rich possessions have come to her as a result of them. It has not been very long ago since such a chance as that now given for land- grabbing in China would have been hailed as a golden opportunity, and all classes of her people, merchants, manufacturers and aristocrats, would have united in upholding the Government in all that it did to “extend civilization” and open new fields for trade. Very different is the tone of the people now from that of the empire-making years. The British are tired. Even the jingoes have ceased to exult in war and clamor for a wider empire. A recent dispatch from London, in noting the curlous turn in public sentiment there, said: “In the midst of these doubts and misgivings one remarkable development of Brit- ish opinion must be poted. That section of the Lon- don press which, has hitherto been most closely as- sociated with rampant imperialism is now joining what it is the fashion to call the ‘Little England’ sec- tion in the cry of ‘Hands off China’ Thus the St James' Gazette made its Tory readers rub their eyes last night by calmly predicting and even welcoming | the disappearance, of England’s political predominance in China. England’s commercial predominance, it argues, depends upon one fact alone, that “‘we have goods to sell which others cannot produce of equal quality or cannot sell at the same price. When that ceases to be the case we shall be beaten in the mar- ket, but not till thén, and the fate is one from which no politics can ever save us.” In the equally imperial- |ist Daily Mail we read to-day: ‘The partitioning powers have raised the dragon. As the dragon is mainly concerned with them, they may well be leit to see to it. Whether or not China succeeds in wrest- | ing her territory from their grasp is all one to us.’” The British have of course many reasons for de- siring to avoid further wars at this time. The burden of empire is heavy upon them. In South Africa it has brought a costly war, and in India a famine that ranks among the most terrible in history. Wars and fam- ines cost money, and the taxpayers have to foot the bills. Moreover, amid the miseries in which they are now involved the British can see others clearly ap- proaching. There are demands for a larger navy, and, more portentous still, a movement to impose upon the people a military system something like that of Continental Europe. Added to all these burdens another load in China would be too much. For the present, therefore, the British lion is about as tame a beast as ever was carried in a circus cage. He is not so much of a hog as has been supposed. He knows when he has enough. THE SITUATION O IN KENTUCKY. UT of the prosecution of Caleb Powers upon a charge of complicity in the assassination oi Goebel the Democratic politicians of Ken- | tucky have gained nothing. In fact, about the most notable incident of the case thus far is the committal of one of the witnesses for the prosecution to jail for perjury. In that we | bave a confirmation of what The Call predicted at ‘\the time the large reward was offered for evidence to | convict. The desire to obtain the reward or at least a part of it has been too strong for at least one un- scrupulous man, and he has sworn he saw a rifle | the window of the office of the Secretary of State | at the time Goebel was killed, while as a matter of fact he was at the time 150 miles from the capital, as the defense has been able to prove. 4 What effect all this is to have upon the election it | is not possible at this time to foresee. Under ordi- | nary conditions the vote of Kentucky would be fairly | assured for the Republican ticket. The sound money Democracy that would not vote for Bryan | even in the calamity times of 1806 would hardly vots | for him now that the McKinley administration has | brought so much prosperity to every section of the | Union. Moreover, the working of the Goebel law has been of a nature to disappoint its supporters and | to offend the whole decent element of the State. The i only thing thereforg that is likely to injure the Re- | publican party in the State 4s the murder of Goebel | under such circumstances as to have caused a strong reaction against the well nigh universal condemna- tion that was once pronounced upon him. It is to be noted that despite their claim that Goebel fell a martyr to the cause of Democracy, the Demo- crats have this year promised to amend his infamous election law. So strong, indeed, is the sentiment of the people against the law that Senator Blackburn is reported to have advised the Democratic conven- tion to request the Governor to call the Legislature together to repeal it. The convention did not follow the counsel, but it did pledge the party to so amend the act “that the most hyperc;itical can find no excuse for charging fraud or unfairness to our party in the conduct of the election. Until such amendments can be enacted by the General Assembly, we declare that the Republican party shall have representation upon both the State and County Boards of Election Com- missioners.” 1 To that extent the Democrats are on the defensive. They will not dare attempt another such outrage as that which led to the murder of Goebel and came near involving the State in civil war, The Republi- cans have that much of advantage and they appear to have made good use of it in the nomination of John W. Yerkes, who has long been one of the ablest Republican leaders in the State and has a strong per- | sonal following among independent voters. The Re- | publican platform, of course, demands the repeal of | the Goebel law, and as that would be much better i(han any Democratic tinkering in the way of amend- ment it ought to bring to the party a considerable support from those Democrats who sincerely favor honest_politics and a desire to rid their party and their State from the last vestige of that shameless act. | Taking all things into consideration it would seem !there is a good chance to carry the State for Mc- i Kinley, and if the prosecution of Republican officials by Democratic politicians under the charge of con- The destruction of the Stratton primary law- has | spiracy to bring about the assassination of Goebel | l bring to light a few more perjured witnesses there may be a wave of popular sentiment against the wrong that will make the chance a certainty. 1 | Trr Dramar HERE is six times as much good dra- matic material (and sixty times as much poetry) in Dr. Doyle's “The Shadow of Quong Lung” (Lippincott) as there is in “The First Born” and “The Cat and the Cherub” rolled together. As a study in the Iagoish traits of the Chinese character Quong Lung himself— the Yale graduate who angelically quotes “God moves In a mysterious way” and flendishly electrocutes his enemfes—has never been surpassed, while the love story of Moy Yen and Ho Chung is as pathetic as s anything in “When Christmas Came to Sandy Bar.” Were not Chinese plays at present very proper objects for public detestation Dr. Doyle's book would run a good risk of being successfully dramat- ized. This fate is not now likely to over- take it, but in other ways it may and should attain to widespread Influence. Nine-tenths of our Consuls who go to China know nothing of the complex and sectetive nature of the Orientals by whom they are constantly befooled. The Fed- eral Government should present each Con- sul with a copy of Dr. Doyle’s book as it does with a copy of the Consular regula- tions. The former would prove more use- ful to the appointee than does the latter. Moreover, every would-be missionary to China should be required to pass an ex- amination on ethnic traits of the Chinese as set forth in “The Shadow of Quong Lung.” If he can pass this examination | and can then conscientlously swear—no, asseverate—that he believes it possible to Christianize such a race, he should be al- lowed to go to China—and to his fate, The. present trouble in Chnia is largely caused by the crass ignorance of peopls Who rush in to exploit a mental and moral territory where wise men fear to tread. Dr. Doyle knows this Serbonfan bog well; his psychological topography 1s correct and is set forth in a manner at gnce lit- erary and scientific. * * * I don't won- der that Mr. Blerce gets angry when Pro- fessor Hudson talks about the future pos- sibilities of Callfornia literature. Behold! dThn kingdom of literature {s with us to- | ay. 3 . It Is safe to predict glorious failures for the dramatizations now being made of | some popular novels. For my part, I can- | not find the things that go to make up a | good play—character, actfon, contrast, variety, pathos, humor, suspense, climac- tic interest—in more than two of the ephemeral romances that our women rave | over. (It Is patent that women make up | by far the larger portion of the clientele | of the novel, as they do of the theater.) | These two are “To Have and to Hold" and “Janice Meredith.” The former af- fords material for a fine first act, where the scene will (or should) be lald tn a fair | meadow by the river James, whither come the colonfal gallants to choose their | brides. The beautiful unknown lady will be o'er-roughly wooed by the tempersome planter, who will thereupon be inconti- nently knocked down by the gallant Cap- | tain Percy (Mr. Miller, I think it is to be); a hasty wedding and the departure of the strangely wedded palr for their lonely home will close this act. Another good act can be developed from the situation in the cabin of the ship, where the hero’s | life is saved by his wife’s consenting to give the villain a kiss. *“He crushed her to him,” says Miss Johnston—that's not over the callousness of the incident in the book, I predict that on the stage it will be perfectly convincing to the audience— or at least to the fairer portion of it. These two situations, each giving one act, | exhaust the dramatic possibilities of the | book; the other two acts must be origin- | ated by the adapter.

On one occasion, when Greeley was a power in New York journalism, he was sitting on a hotel piazza in Peekskill, quietly scanning the columns of morning’s Tribune, when a stranger along, glanced contemptuously at paper he was reading, and remarked: “Fine sheet you've got there, mister!
