OURKE COCKRAN in his letter to the “Lib- erty Congress” convoked by the Anti-Imperial | Lezgue declares an intention to support Bryan ] and dismisses with a show of contempt the statement | of Senator Hoar that even if Bryan be sincere, he | could not, if elected President, check the imperialistic tendencies of certain elements of his party. There | is thus raised a question of opinion that merits con- sideration. 1f Cockran be right, any anti-imperialist who is indifferent to the money question at stake in the campaign might well support Bryan; but if Sena- tor Hoar be right, then Bryan in the Presidency ! would be of no more service to anti-imperialists than | the proverbial broken reed that wounds the hand that leans on it. Senator Hoar has had a longer and a fuller expe- rience in Congress than Bourke Cockran, and is more thoroughly acquainted with the sentiments and objects of the leading Democrats in both houses. | His judgment on the subject at issue is therefore more valuable than that of the man who disputes it. Were there no evidence to confirm the statement of the | Senator it would still have more weight with intel- ligent men than the equally unsupported declaration i of the comparatively irresponsible New York orator, who of recent years has been veering about in poli- tics like a weathercock. It happens, however, that there is abundant evi- | dence to confirm the view taken by Senator Hoar. Only a few days ago Senator Morgan of Alabama, in discussing the so-called “paramount issue” with a re- rorter of the Washington Post, said: “There is no paramount issue in any campaign. All the planks in- serted have an interest for some portion of the voters, and are inserted simply because they are paramount | to come people. To come one issue is paramount, |"where to others it is of less significance. Whatever the statement in the Kansas City platiorm about im- perialism, there are hardly any two people who would give similar definitions for imperialism. To some it would be the right to protect our missionaries in China, and to others it would be the establishment of 2 government in Porto Rico which was not in com- pliance with the constitution or with the powers of Corgress.” . That is a sufficiently clear notice to all concerned that Senator Morgan does not intend to pay much attentior to Bryan's paramount issue. Tt is, in facr, only #nother way of stating David B. Hill's comment on the Kansas City platform, that some of it wonld be used in one part of the Union and other portions of it elcewhere. Morgan himself will have none of the anti-imperial pledges, and in the interview from which we have quoted he asked. evidently with some bitterness, “When did the Republicans become ex- pansion’ets?” The Louisville Courier-Journal is supporting d its distribution may be arranged for by methods | g second growth have | This result | have no doubt that it will be found that the | / among the issues which it will present to the | g Bryan bui ridiculing the platiorm. The Atlanta Con- | stitution goes further. In defiance of the platform and im the face of Bryan's speech of acceptance, it has | stated in an elaborate editorial that the Democratic | party is not opposed to holding the Philippines. In i 1eply to a statement by the Washington Post on the (j subject, the Constitution says: “The Post is distinctly | not an organ, and therefore it is regrettable to see it holding on to the fag-end of a Republican roorback to the cffect that Mr. Bryan and the Democratic party weie in favor of withdrawing our trooffs from the Fhilippines and turning the islands over to the terror ana confusion that would result from Aguinaldo’s dictatorship. As a matter of fact, no Democrat of | an: prominence or influence, so far as we know, has I gver dreamed of subscribing to such a proposition.” There, then, is the whole point at issue between IScnalor Hoar and Mr. Cockran. The Atlanta Con- stitmicn does not know of a single prominent Demo- erat who is opposed to holding the Philippines. Sup- pose, then, Bryan were elected what could he do | wgainst the demand of the Southerners for that im- perialism abroad which they are practicing at home by the suppression of the negro vote? GOOD FOR CITY @ND STATE. W | Sa HILE the State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners have postponed action on the proposed lease of China Basin to the San Francisco and n Joaquin Valley Railroad, there is every reason | fer expecting a favorable decision at the next meet- | ing, which is to take place on Monday. To the | recommendation of the Board of Supervisors there | has now been added that of the Merchants' Associa- | tien, so that the Commissioners have before them ample evidence that both the officials and the business | men of the city regard the lease as highly desirable from every point of view. There are differences of opinion as to some of the details of the lease, but | upon the essential point of granting an ample ter- | minus in the city to the Valley Road there are no dii- | ferences whatever among progressive men. The statement of the issue in the communication of the Merchants’ Association is clear and emphatic. After suggesting the advisability of making certain changes in the proposed-terms of the lease, the mer- | chants say: “With the correction of these provisions in the lease we believe that its execution would prove | to the best interests of the city of San Francisco and | the State of California. The improvement of China Basin and the construction of this section of the sea- | wall would give impetus to the improvement of the | entire water front. It is estimated that these improve- ments will involve an expenditure of $1,000,000, of | which about $250,000 must be expended in the con- struction of the seawall within a period of five years. This consideration, together with the rental of $1000 per annum, as stipulated in the lease, appears to be | sufficient to warrant the execution of the lease with the certainty that the seawall will revert to the State | | as soon as it can be utilized. We therefore hope that the pending negotiations between your honorable board and the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val- | ley Railway Company relative to the proposed lease of China Basin will result in an agreement that will insure the construction of the contemplated improve- | ments promising to be of such material benefit to the State of California.” | _The sum and substance of the matter is that San Francisco needs the improved transportation facili- ties the proposed terminus will give, and needs also the increased dockage that will result from the im- provements the Valley Road will make. Where there is'so much to be gained for the city and the State it | would be foolish to impose unfair conditions upon | | the company that is to provide the improvements and | the comgetitive transportation. It is therefore to be | | hoped a complete agreement will be reached on Mon- | day. The sooner the work of improvement is begun the better it will be for all concerned. OUR WRANGLING @LLIES. UR allies in the advance of civilization into China are not showing that mutual trustfui- ness which is required to induce something of a corresponding trustfulness on the part of the Chi- nese, The spokesmen of the various European powers, while asking the Tsung li Yamen to rely upon the pledges they make, are themseldes refusing to rely upon the words of one another. There is everywhere a declaration of intention not to partition China, and almost everywhere evidences of prepara- tion being made for that very purpose. William St. John Broderick, Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is reported to have said in a speech before the Primrose League on Wednesday, with reference to the landing of British troops at Shanghai: “We all know that we are determined to risk everything and to put forward all our strength and resolution before allowing British interests to go down in any part of the world.” Of course a speech made under such circumstances is not to be regarded as a deliberate utterance of the British Min- istry. It was a case of letting the lion roar for the delight of the crowd. Nevertheless, it reveals the temper of the Government and of the dominant party in the country, and that temper is one of distrustiul- ness toward other powers. Clearly the British be- lieve it will be safer for their interests to have them guarded-by troops rather than by the pronises of foreign diplomats. We are told that Russia, Germany and France ob- ject to Britain’s action at Shanghai and may unite in a demand that the British troops be withdrawn from that point. We are also told that Japan and Great Britain object to the occupation of Niuchwang by the Russians, and may unite in demanding a with- drawal of the Russian troops. That makes a very pretty situation in itself, but there is another com- plication to come along very soon. Germany has a strong force of men on the way to China, and when they arrive we may hear of a combpination objecting to their landing. In the midst of this imbroglio the United = States stands neutral, and doubtless where the grourd is so slippery that is $he only way of standing at all. Tt is rapidly becoming a serious question, however, whether there is to remain any neutral ground to stand on. China is either to be partitioned or it iz not. If it is to be partitioned we shall have to get out | O | of “insubordination.” | gram' than _he dis; and stay at home until the ruction is over or else take part in the fighting; and if it is not to be partitioned we shall probably have to call the hands of our Brit- ish cousins and our ancient friends the Russians and threaten them with fearful things if they perSist in the land grabbing. Taken altogether, the prospect that something un- expected will happen is very good. France will soon have closed up her exposition, Great Britain will be free of the war in South Africa, Germany will have her big fleet well under way, and Russia will have her Siberian railway completed. Thus all will be pre- pared and ready to welcome the glorious dawn of the twentieth century with a war worthy of the new e-a. — The Red Bluff burglar who asked to be sent to Folsom instead of to San Quentin was probably in- miredbysecfimdpfideeveninfischdced»ri!pm & MARRIAGE DOES NOT DISQUALIFY | WILL ESTABLISH THE TEACHERS ARMY SURGEONS ‘ I | NEW HOSPITALS SUSPENSION OF VICE PRINCIPAL MW ILLEGAL CT City Attorney Says Rule of| Accommodations for Many| Knowlion Unjustly Dealt Board Conflicts With Charter. Pt el oy Holds That the Mere Fact of Marry- ing Does Not Render Women Improper Persons to Teach School. { ks L The Board of Education received an opinion yesterday from City Attorney Lane, in which he holds that those reg- ulariy elected teachers who were in the department prior to the going into effect of the charter are not subject to removal under a rule of the department declaring their positions vacant upon marriage. The opinion says: The charter limits the power of the board as to_dismissals by the following provision. “But no teacher in the department at the time of the adoption of this charter or who chall be hereafter appointed shall be dismissed from the department except for insubordina- tion, immoral or unprofessional conduct or evi- dent unfitness for teaching.'” This provision was incorporated into the charter for the purpose of securing to the members of the department permanent tenure except for the causes designated. Those teaci- ers who were in the department when the char- ter went into effect remain in the department under the charter unless they are dismissed for insubordination, iramoral or unprofessional con- duct or evident unfitness for teaching. Unless marriage while in the department comes under one of these heads it is not a cause for re- moval. It will not be contended, I presume, that the mere fact of marriage renders a woman unfit for teaching or that by marrying she is guilty of immoral or unprofessional conduct. These grounds of dismissal being eliminated from consideration there remains to consider but that This word is defined by the lexicographers as ‘“‘disobedience to lawful authority.” The rule of the board does not inhibit ‘marriage. Therefore no rule has been broken and there is no ground for dismissal on a charge of insubordination. It may be said that while the rule of the board does not deny the right to marry it does deny the right to continue in the department after marrjage. It attempts to do this, to be sura, but it fails because it is not within the power of the board to add a new cause for dis- missal to those set forth in the charter, which are in general terms those stated in the code. (Politieal Code, Sec. 1793.) To say that a teacher may be ousted from the department by a rule of the board is to say that a teacher may be ousted for any cause that the board may see fit to incorporate Into a rule—a position at varlance with the positive law. The board has power to make rules regulating the de- partment, prescribing hours of attendance, the character of the work to be performed and such other rules as wiil tend to bring the depart- ment under good systém and discipline, but it cannot make a rule that a teacher’s position shall become vacant when she marries, be- cause ber marriage is not a matter of school department business and the causes for ‘which she may lose her position have been set forth in the law, in conformity with which al rules must be made. (Kennedy vs. Board of Educa- tion, §2 Cal. 489.) - JIM FLINN THOUGHT HE WOULD BE SUPERVISOR Received Bogus Cablegram Bearing Mayor Phelan’s Name Offering Him the Position. Some one played a practical joke on J. J. Flinn, the well-known member of the firm of Flinn & Treacy, a few days ago which cost that individual just $22 for a cable message. Shortly after the death of Supervisor Helms Flinn received a ca- blegram purporting to come from Paris and bearing the name of Mayor Phelan, who is touring the Continent. The mes. sage read: “Would position on board made vacant by death of Helms be ac- ceptable to you?’ No sooner had Flinn read the cable- patched the following answer to Mayor Phelan: “Will be de- lighted to accept the honor so graciously offered in your cable message just re- ceived.” Some time after the Mayor's secretary, Charles Fay, received a letter from his chief, in which he said that he had never made any such proposition to Flinn, and asked what it was all about anyhow. It was then that the joke was disclosed and Flinn discovered that he had been clev- erly trapped into paying out money for a forlorn hope. He quietly left town on a fishing expedition to escape the chaffing of his friends. , The vacancies in the board will most likely remain unfilled until the return of his Honor from his sojourn on the Con. tinent, which will be in about two weeks. S e SUITS OF COUNTIES ON STATE TREASURY Arguments in the Yolo Suit Against Controller Colgan in Supreme Court. The case of the county of Yolo against State Controller Colgan was argued yes- terday before the Supreme Court. This is only one of many suits which®contem- plate the depletion ‘of the State treasury, there being about $1,500,000 involved. A number of attorneys some time ago ocn- cluded that they had discovered sufficient law to warrant actions being brought by a number of counties for the payment of County Tax Collectors, Auditors, Asses- sors and Treasurers for the collection of State taxes. Yolo's alleged share would be about $25,000. In the lower court the county lost. Yesierday Attorney General Ford, rep- resenting the Controller, took the position that all of these officers mentioned are also officers of the State and that the law contemplated that while in the discharge of their duties as county officials they were serving the whole pefple as weil and were not entitled to extra compen- sation. As a further bar against the contemplated raid on the State treasury the last Legislature passed an act oblit- erating any alleged obligation to counties on_ this acount and dlrecunf that any suits pending should be dismisesd by the plaintiffs. THOUGHT TO DISCOVER MONEY IN A TIN BOX Disappearance of Edward E. Duff, Bookkeeper for Benjamin Gunn & Co., Recalled. No trace has yet been found of Edward E. Duff, bookkeeper for Benjamin Gunn & Co., real estate agents, 232 Montgomery street, who disappeared August 4. An in cident in connection with his disappear- ance came up in Judge Cabaniss’ court vesterday. Duff had left a tin box with avid O Church, a clerk of Charles War- ren, 230 Montgomery street, to keep for him. Gunn & Co. learned of the fact and made a demand upon Church for the box. Church declined to give it up except through legal process, and Gunn & Co. iecl:red a search warrant from Judge Ca- aniss, The case was heard vesterday, and the Judge decided that Church should deliver the box to Gunn & Co., but that it should be opened in court and its contents ex- amined. There was no key, so the box was forced open. There was nothing in it but papers, chiefly personal receipts and contracts and some receipts taken by Duff for the firra. There were also slips ith figures. showing that he had been rying o strike & balance: . Supervisors Deny a Protest.

AMONG THE MAGIC MESAS OF ARIZONA By long odds the most interesting lec- | ture of the Burton Holmes series was given yesterday afterncon at the Columbia Theater. The lecture dealt with the mag- | ic mesas and snake dancers of Arizona, | and a most vivid and picturesque presen- | tation of these survivals of a bygone age of barbarism were given. Moving pictures of the snake dance festival, with the writhing reptiles held between the teeth of the dancing priests and wriggling around in all directions, were shown. When it is understood that the snakes are of the rat- tler variety, in full possession of all their powers, the breathless interest and gen- eral uncanniness of the performance may be better realized. A very happy deserip- tion of the domestic life, strange, foreign architecture and religious idols of these weird Moki citizens of the United States ' bers of a delighted audience with a yet | higher appreciation of the marvels of | their native country. The lecture will be repeated on Sunday evening.

Miss Crews made the very prettiest of tiny farewell speeches, grace- ful, unstudied and a little tearful, thank- ing audlence and actors for their kind ap- preciation. Flowers in abundance were sent over the footlights, and the kindly testimonial will doubtless not soon be for- Zotten by the young recipient, even in the | midst of all the New York triumphs | which her admirers hope and prophesy | for her. | PERSONAL MENTION.
