OVERNOR GAGE has appointed a committee G to act for California in raising money and sup- plies for the stricken people of Texas. The committee is composed of I. W. Hellman, William Alvord, Robert J. Tobin, Claus Spreckels, James L. Flood, A. A. Watkins, Charles Nelson and F. W. Dohrmann. The committee is vested with power o | appoint additional members and subordinate com- mittees throughout the State. Thus an official body ’is constituted for effective action: It is a genuine | State committee not designed for self-advertising and | not seeking to make a profit for itself out of the lib- | erality of Califarnia and the distress of Texas. Every State in the Union has been prompt to re- spond to the appeal for aid that has come from the storm-swept district along the Texas coast. Califor- | nia has been among the first and most liberal in re- | sponding. The contributions of the people of this city already amount to many thousands, and in the | Y y ying the Texas authorities that the orwarded there have been added the cheering words “more to come.” Let that “more” be forthcoming speedily. The need ot assistance is urgent and imperative and immediate. Reports from Galveston are to the cffect that thousands of | women and children who were hurt by the storm wi die unless aid be given at once. A day of delay may mean death, while instant help may mean restoration to health and strength. The terrible disaster has afforded the American people one more opportunity for a display of their abounding liberality. Onj,the day after the effect of | the storm was made known upwatd of $100,000 com- ing from all parts of the country was telegraphed to the Governor of Texas as a first installment of the | generosity of the people.

It is well undersiood that in a general way it will be of advantage, hut merchants ard manufac- turers are not yet clear in what specific manner it wil be serviceable to their particular business. That can nating ee men who w be demonstrated only by the practical working of the | institution. Consequently hardly much more in the way of support can be expected' until the museum is | established and has proven its worth by the unmis- | takable evidence of service rendered. From what was accomplished at the meeting yester- it is safe to say the inauguration of the museum will take place in a comparatively short time. The en- terprise is in good shape and is moving rapidly for- ard. The Pacific Commercial Museum will soon be | an established institution of the city. This a mutable world, and life is an alternation of light and shadow; so now, since we have had our frolic, let us turn in and help the stricken people of cur sister State of Texas, THE PLAGUE IN GLASGOwW, JASTERN papers Ii fact that the announcement of the appearance of bubonic plague in Glasgow has occasioned no panic anywhere, not even in the British islands, Considering how easily people are frightened in cases | of this kind, the general indifference to the reports from Glasgow is really a matter of <ome interest. It marks a change in the temper of the public with re- spect to plague scares that is in the highest degree gratifying. Even in the worst pestilences the scare is more harmfiul than the pestilence itseli and it will be a benefit to civilization if such panics cease altogether. If the subject be interesting in the East it is still more interesting to Californians, for we have recently liad a plague scare, and the Glasgow case furnishes us with a valuable object lesson. The mere rumor that bubonic plague had made its appearance in Chinatown in this city caused a general _quarantining of the port and a spasmodic attempt at 'quaramining the State. Why shovld there have been so much fiurry over the story of the plague here and no flurry at all pver the definite and authoritative announcement that a considerable number of plague-stricken patients have been found in Glasgow? - | pestilence in the Scottish city is due to the fact that so many sensational events are occurring elsewhere in the world that the attention of the public is fully oc- cupied and the people have no time for discussing the N men, | “We | are directing attention to the | plague sufficiently to get frightened over it. The Times says: b In the duller season, when the emotional section of the press was on short rations as regards the only diet on which it thrives, the outbreak at Glasgow _would cer- | tainly have been inflated into a peril of alarming propor- { tions, and our health officials, instead of going | quietly about their business, as now, would have been | forced to give as much of their time fo the allaying of | necdless fears as to the providing of the necessary but | stmple means of decreasing the likelihood of the disease’s introduction here and of handling and controlling it in the event a few cases do happen to be imported. | [ That there is something in that theory is not to be | doubted. When the report was sent out that bubonic | plague was in this city the New York Journal made a | sensational feature of it that was about the most | ghastly fgeak even that yellow paper ever produced. | Such publications excited the public mind and tended to produce the scare that followed. Thus by con- | trasting the temper in which the Glasgow cases have | been received with that in which the reports here | were taken throughour the country, we have a meas- ure by which to gauge some of the evil effects of yel- low journalism on the community. There is, however, another point in the problem to be noted. The Philadelphia Record attributes the | calmness of the public to the popular confidence in | the sanitary regulations at Glasgow and in the ef- ficiency of the work of the Board of Health. That is | an indirect condemnation of the Board of Health in | San Francisco. It implies that Eastern people had no | confidence in our ability to clean Chinatown or to en- | force health laws in that section of the city. In that respect the East is not far wrong. Chinatown has | uot been cleaned to this day. The ordinary sanitary | regulations of the city are not enforced there. The | owners of Chinatown property ate not required to | obey the health laws and it is due to good fortune more than to the Board of Health that we have no: | had pestilerice among the Chinese. San Francisco can thus learn two lessons from the | experience of Glasgow. The first is that yellow jour- pzlism is dangerous and. the second is that an in- cfiicient Board of Health is of little value to a com- | munity. We cannot suppress the freaks of the New | York Journal, but we might at least have a Board of Health that would command the respect and con- fidence of the public. Whether the issue upon the stump be imperialism, trusts or silver, that which will be presented in the home will be the issue of prosperity against hard times. HIGHER COMMERCIAL TRAINING. > e prompt Y the establishiment of a college of commerce as nch of its educational work the University of California set an example which has been followed. The New York Chamber of Com- merce is engaged in raising a fund for the endowment of such a college at Columbia University, and it has been .announced that the University of the City oi New York purposes to found another. The fact that two such colleges are to be established almost simultaneously in New York has naturally at- | tracted the attention of the press, and the leading | papers are discussing with earnestness the new depar:- ! ure in university life. It appears the two colleges are to be widely dissimilar in the §cope of instruction and the methods of giving it. The college at Columbia | will have a four-year course and will stand on a level with the regular academic departments. The student who enters will have to give his whole time and en- ergies to the studies just as if he had entered the | schools of law or medicine. The course at the Uni- v of New York will be only two years and is to be so arranged that young men engaged in business in the city can attend it. - It is said most of the lectu-es and classes will be at night, and it is expected that leading business men will encourage their clerks to | take the course. The discussion of the project of the University of | New York has brought out the curious statement that | the business of the city, and particularly that of banks | and insurance offices, is sadly hampered by the lack of competent accountants. One authority is quoted as saying that no other cause contributes more to failu-es |in New York than bad bookkeeping. By reason of this need the State Board of Regents was authorized in 1806 to issue certificates to such persons as passed examinations proving their fitness for public account- ants. Out of that law there has arisen the profession of accountants, and the object of the college to be es- tablished by the University of the City of New York is to afford students a means of fitting themselves for it. Some of the comments of the press upon the mova- ment are interesting. The New York Post says: | “Among educators generally the admission of what seems to be a business college as a department of a university will cause surprise if not disfavor. Training not for business but for life has teen the watchword | of our so-called liberal education. * * * It seems unfortunate that the newly established school is to | grant a degree of B. C. (bachelor of commercial science), which will invariably suffer in comparison | with traditional degrees.” ’ The Tribune takes a brighter view of the subject. Tt says: “Preparation of young men for commerce, for banking and for other branches of business is to be cffected under university supervision just the same as | preparation for the practice of law or medicine. Busi- ness is practically made a learned profession. Or per- haps it would be more correct to say is recognized as such, * * * The problems and operations of finance | in banking, insurance, accounting and what not are to-day as elaborate and require as skilled a talent as the operations of pure mathematics in De Morgan's time. The old-time business methods are as much out of date and as inadequate to present®business | needs as are the cottage loom, the tallow candle and the stage coach.” The two colleges, working together but along dif- ferent lines, in New York will of course materially | aid one another in more ways than one. Their very rivalry will be a helpful stimulus. Our College of ! Commerce will therefore have to receive generous | aid from local business men if it is to keep up with the competitors that have started upon its track. We have set the good exampls and we must now try to keep the pace. | Even the volcanoes of Mendocino County seem to | be aware that a political campaign is in progress. They have been throwing mud with dangerous energy for several days. S e It is reported from Paris that the exposition has be- gun to pay, so now the Parisians do not care very much whether anything in the way of royalty drops in or not. Maine and Vermont have declared for prosperity. but of course Arkansas did the other thing, and now alifornia has merely to decide which lead to follow. This is a good day to register, if you have not done so: and if you have, it is a good day for you to tell your friends to register PTEMBER 14, 1900. &— THIS POSTAL CAR ADVERTISEMENTS.
