The responsibility rests upon China to restore the public authority of its Government, arrange proper reparation to the powers and submit such guarantees as will terminate at once the occupation of her territory by foreign troops. We believe there is no substantial difference of opinion here either as to the wisdom and general hu- manity of this position or as to its being in harmor.ny with American interests. These interests, also, are in | line with the legitimate interests of the other nations | concerned. They are in harmony with the commer- equality, for which the open door negotiations | dence to prove the wise foresight of President Mc- Kinl, d Secretary Hay. The agreement by which they were successfully concluded is a binding inter- pational compact which none of the nations party to them can violate without offense to this country. If they had only China to deal with the case would be different. Then each would be intent only on grab- bing as many square miles of territory and.getting jurisdiction of as many millions of people as possible, that they might monopolize the resulting commerce. It is easy to see that this would mean the bitterest wrangle among themselves, leading surely to war on honest Republican how he should vote. The regular ticket for. each district was published in The Call yesterday. That is the ticket of gennine Republican- ism. It is the anti-boss ticket. It is the ticket against which Herrin, Crimmins and Kelly are fight- ing. It is the ticket which is fighting for straight politics and the Republican party against the banded bosses and all the corrupt forces which the Mint Saloon and the Southern Pacific Company can bring to the polls. Let each Republican remember that this election is the crisis of the campaign. Should the bosses triufiph the party convention will be dominated by them and the candidates whom it nominates will enter the con- test more or less discredited by that fact. Those who | desire to see Republicans elected in November should go to the primaries and vote the true Republican ticket so that the party may nominate candidates of decent Republicanism. Let us sweep Herrin, Crimmins and Kelly and all their tools of the type of Dibble and Wolfe out of the Republican party of San Francisco.

From that pleasing picture one cannot but turn with disappointment and chagrin to this one, that between 1570 and 1899 the proportion of fogelgn | commerce carried in American vessels fell from 3 per cent to 8.9 per cent—to less than half what it was in the first year of our national existence (1789).

It is familiar to all that Herrin and his crowd made use of every means in their power to dominate the committee so that they could run the primaries to suit themselves. In that attempt they were beaten. Honest politics triumphed. The rank and file of the party have been assured fair primaries. Every vote honestly cast will be honestly counted. So far, then, as the arrangements for the primaries are concerned the bosses have been beaten. Now comes the task of defeating them at the The war in South Africa has brought the horse to the front as prominently as“ever, while it appears that, in | the British islands at any rate, the cycle trade is in a | bad way and the use of the wneel is declining.

In those districts, therefore, not a single de- | cent Republican should remain afy from the polls, | Every vote will be needed. One of the tricks which Dibble has devised to help | him in the Forty-first has been exposed by The Call. It consists in nominating on his ticket for the State convention such well known Republicans as Judge | Van Fleet of the Republican National Committee ' and George Stone, Wakefield Baker and J. B. Dutton ! of the State Central Committee, By putting those | gentlemen on his ticket for the State convention the | astute schemer hopes to induce a good many decent Republicans to vote for his candidates for the local ger boys, mail-carriers and others who have to do a good deal of moving about from one place to an- other. That a man is seen riding a wheel is no longer evidence that he is a “gentleman of leisure,” taking a spin for his amusement. He may be a workingman going to or from his shop. Consequently the rich are no longer so addicted to the wheel as they were. Society is hunting a new amusement. The cheap, ser- viceable wheel for utility is more in demand than the fancy article and the baom in the business has begin to subside. < So far as we know there has been no such change noted in the cycle trade in this country and it is not likely that there will be, for the proportion of Amer- icans who have bought bicycles solely for amusement has not been so large as that in Great Britain.
