BRYAN AND LINCOLN. OLONEL BRYAN goes continually to the vings of Lincoln for the garniture of his ac- ceptance and other oratory. He is just now ¢t the Great Emancipator had to say about s of Jefierson in favor of self-government He states the plain and old principles of republican government, as if he had just discovered them, or as if when uttered by Jeffer- ,d Lincoln they had fallen on deaf ears and been forgotten. It is only necessary to say that nobody takes the adverse side in respect to these axioms. Nobody who opposes him denies them and there are ong the Republicans who fail to hold them L using wh son none in undying respect as 1ules of conduct in a republican government. Colonel Bryan might as well appear as the champion of the multiplication table and ex- pect a dispute of the proposition that twice two are four. The only defiant deniers of these principles as re- stated by Lincoln are the supporters of Colonel For their own convenience and in their own urder of men to nullification Southern States, which will give Colonel Bryan 120 electoral votes, are flagrantly ing the principles of Lincoln, while this candi- n. ways, running from the of the constitution, the viola date for the Presidency goes up and down accusin | Yy g of Lincoln of infidelity to his teachings. !

Colonel Bryan now charges the Republican party with intending to destroy government by con- sent in the Philippines. That policy may be inde- fi ble if it be proven, which it is not. But in the light of Lincoln's full statement self-government is al- ready destroyed in this country by Colonel Bryan's party. What refinement of hypocrisy it is for him to claim votes upon the declaration that he will give seli- government to turbulent people seven thousand miles away, while he makes no pledge to restore it to a larger number right at home? y baen talking patronizingly to Re- em to vote for him on this issue.

One of his leading supporters, Senator Tillman, said in the Senate in a set and prepared speech, describing the Southern methods of denying self-govérnment to the negroes: “We shot them. We used fraud, false counts and tissue ballots. At length growing tired of these we amended our State constitution and elimi- nated the negro vote. 1f Colonel Bryan wish to prove his right to a reputation for courage, let him go to Tillman’s State, quote Lincoln in full and argue for the right of seli- government for the negro there, as well as for the tribes in the Philippines. It is safe to say that he will not do this. He prefers to attempt the deception of the Northern people on this issue and present himself to them as the avatar of Lincoln, to showing himself deserving to wear the robes of thé Emancipator by doing as he would have done. THE STATE FAIR. ] ‘ATE reports from Sacramento confirm the early proved by its accomplishment. predictions that the coming State Fair would strikingly demonstrate the prevailing prosperity of the commonwealth.

When every county and those of previous years and in addi- | POLITICS IN CANADA UR neighbors, the Canadians, are expecting a O general election to take place some time this fall. The date has not yet been fixed, but it is believed the Prime Minister, Sir Wilirid Laurier, will determine it to be not later than October. There will be thereiore a short campaign and judging from.’ all reports it will be a lively one. There will be no “paramount contest. The Liberal Ministry will of confidence from the constituencies upon the record of the administration as a whole and not upon some single question. The challenge will doubtless be accepted in the form it is given and the Conservatives will undertakeé to convince a majority of the people that even ii the Laurier Ministry has done nothing exceptionally bad, yet a change of ad- ministration would be beneficial. Among the actions of the Ministry which will be subject to condemnation by the Conservatives will be the dispatch of troops from Canada to fight in the British wars in South Africa, the management of the Yukon gold districts, the steps taken to procure the | construction of an all-Canadian route to Dawson, the preferential tariff in favor of British goods and the arrangements made for settling various controversies between Canada and the United States. In one respect the campaign will be peculiar, for in | times past the Conservatives have been the support- | ers of a close union with Great Britain, while the | Liberals have tended more and more toward making | Canada independent. Now the Liberals will have to | sustain Laurier’s action in sending Canadian troops 1o | South Africa and the Conservatives will have to at- | tack it. The question is a far-reaching one, for if | Canada is to follow Great Britain in all British wars | without having any voice in the Cabinet that declares | | war, or the Parliament that votes money for it, Cana- | | dian independence will not be anything more than an | empty name. | The French Canadians are an uncertain element in | | the situation.

It happens, however, that ' Prime Minister Laurier is himself a French Canadian | and is very popular among men of his race and his personal influence may counterbalance any objections the French have to that feature of his policy. This will be the first test vote taken on the question and no one appears able to forecast the result. The very fact that the Ministry does not put its | imperial policy in the forefront of the contest may be | taken as evidence that the Ministers are by no means | sure it will receive approval. They are certainly very | careful to ask for a vote on their record as a whole | and not upon that particular issue. Thus Sir Richard Cartwright is quoted as saying in a recent address: “We ask for such trust and loyalty as seli-respecting men can grant to leaders who have shown themselves | worthy to be trusted; to leaders who have had to deal | with serious difficulties, and who have solved those | difiiculties well; to leaders who have earned the thanks of their sovereign; to leaders who have raised Canada to a higher pinnacle than Canada has ever be- fore reached in the eyes of the world, and in so doing have helped to weld Canada into what will be, I hope. a united and powerful nation.” It is a vague proposition, but after all a fair one. | Still the outer world would like to know by what | steps the Canadian Liberals hope to weld Canada. Great Britain and the rest of the empire into a united nation. Either the Canadians must obtain equal representation in the imperial Parliament or else the welding process will destroy every particle of that in- dependence which Liberals in the past have been so earnest in promoting and augmenting. v it — 1 ‘THE SEAPORT OF THE FUTURE. ONDON is in danger of losing her proud posi- | L tion as the largest seaport in the world and the Lower Thames Navigation Commission is now | engaged in making an investigation into the matter. | The complaint is that at or near low water the huge | ships of modern commerce cannot ascend the river | | farther than Gravesend and the largest ships cannot | even reach that point. Continental rivals are taking | the ocean trade away from London because of their | better waterways. It is stated by the F'#ndon Chron- icle that “more or less delay takes piace with all ves- sels having a draught of over twenty-two feet shortly after they enter the mouth of the Thames at low | water. This is one of the effects of the development of | large ships for merchant service. London is, of course, rich enough to take care of itself, and from the course now being pursued by the Lower Thames Commission it appears certain an improvement of the | river and the docking facilities will be entered upon ! at once. The issue, however, is interesting to other ports as well as to the British metropolis and harbor improvements are evidently among the engineering works that are going to occupy no little pagt of the | energies of all civilized countries for some time to | come. In a review of the subject one authdrity says: “The growth in the size of ships is the most remarkable | which, In its degree, is altogether unex- | turer. | New York in connection with affairs ot And But we And all in Freedom’s name, O Lord, Thou hast the poisonous praiss of Hearst, that alone is thy reward; have ail thy pamphlets yet To read and learn—lest we forget! M TURING the last one hundred years | the world has seen great war: great national and social upheav- als, great religious movements, | great economic changes. Litera- ture and art have had their tri- umphs and have permanently en- | riched the intellectual inheritance of our | race. Yet, large as is the space which sub- jects like these legitimately fill in our thoughts, much as they will occupy the future historian, it is not among these that I seek for the most important and the most fundamental differences which separate the present from preceding ages Rather is this to be found in the cumula- tive products of scientific research, to which no other period offers a precedent or a parallel. | 8§ No single discovery, it may be, can be | compared In its results to that of Coper- nicus; no single discoverer can be com- pared In genius to Newton; but in their total effects the advances made by the nineteenth century are not to be matched. | Not only is the surprising Increase of knowledge new, but ..e use to which it has been put s new aiso. The growth of industrial invention is not a fact we are | permitted to forget. We do, however, sometimes forget how much of it is due | | to close connection between theoretic|j knowledge and its utilitarian application ampled in the history of mankind. | 1 suppose that at this moment if we were allowed a vision of the embryonic | forces which are predestined most potent- ly to affect the future of mankind “we should have to look for them not in the Legislature nor in the press, nor on the | platform, nor in the schemes of practical statesmen, nor the dreams of political theorists, but in the laboratories of scien- tific students whose names are but little in_the mouths of men, who cannot them- selves forecast the results of their own | labors and whose theories would secarce | be-understood by those whom they wil chiefly benefit.

He bossed and bullied the Kansas City convention into a redeclarationdof the war of 1806. He forced it to again specifically declare for the silver standard, and now stands on the Sioux Falls platiorm which rejects even the silver standard and falls to an unlimited and irredeemable issue of greenbacks as our standard and medium of exchange. The sound- money men of the country know that this means the expulsion from the country of both gold and silver. The Gresham law will then operate to drive out every form of currency except the Bryan-Populist green- back By promising what he cannot perform in regard to the wretched legacies of the Spanish war, a war into which he and his partisans madly urged the country, he hopes to get power to disorder our home finances by descending through the purgatory of silver into the hell of greenbacks and to revolutionize our representative government by introducing the chaos which will come with the initiative and referendum. The people. with their finances in 2 sound condition and their industries left free. will in their own time and way extricate the country from the dangers and dif- ficulties which inhere in our external conditions. But with chaos in their home government it is not likely that they will have left the force to correct errors external to them. All of these considerations influence the gold Democrats and they are by no means backward in deciaring that their position of opposition to Bryan is unchanged, and will not be changed as long as he holds the place he usurped and secured by fraud, mis- representation and unfairness at the head of the party which he has debauched and demoralized. A ors as will stimulate progressive men in other States | to make exhibits so s to get the benefit of the adver- | tising given in that way. Thus each improvement | will bring about another improvement and in a time comparatively short the California State Fair will be iknnwn and noted all over the continent. This year the reports promise an exceptionally good fair. The exhibits will be varied and numerous and the two weeks of racing will bring to the track horses of the first rank in almost every class from thorough- breds to polo ponies. Among the exhibits are to be all kinds of automobiles and the visitors will have an opportunity for a complete study of what has been effected up to this time in the development of the horseless carriage. Then there are to be fine exhibits animals, the reports say livestock-raisers will find to the closing day. Droves of specially bred pigs, hogs, Jerseys, shorthorns and Herefords, calves and other domestic animals will be exhibited throughout the continuance of the fair. Altogether this will be no common exposition at Sacramento and the city will be in gala dress for over two weeks.

Sir William White, a ship- ping expert, has declared his positive belief that we | have not arrived at anything like finality in regard to " the size of ships. But while Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, New York, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Ant- | werp have all been preparing to meet these changes, | London has done nothing.” | Ttis easy to foresee that the construction of larger | and still larger ships is going to have far-reaching | effects upon the ocean trade. Comparatively few sea- | ports are naturally adapted for the traffic of the giant | _ vessels and not many have the wealth required to | ' make the costly improvements the needs of such ves- | sels will make necessary. Consequently trade will ' tend to center in a few large ports and the smaller cities will suffer. The moral of the lesson should be heeded in San Francisco. We have great natural ad- vantages, but the increasing size of ocean .ships de- mands an increase of facilities here as elsewhere. When the ports of the Old World are making im- provements on a vast scale those of the New cannot afford to lag behind.
