On this head be said: “While what is known as government by in- | junction is at present directed chiefly against the em- ployes of corporations when there is a disagreement between them and their employer, it involves a prin- ciple that concerns every one. The purpose of the in- junction in such cases is to substitute trial by Judge for trial by jury, and is a covert blow at the jury sys- tem.

These things involve personal liberty i the highest sense, and the injunction cannot be ap plied to them. But when a combination of men, ua- pretext, claim the privilege of entering upon the property of another, and by their presence and force der trol, his rights of property may be properly sheltered under a permanent injunction. So, also, when a man 1s the right to so use his property as to destroy the property of another, or bloc a common law ease- y kind, the property threatened may shelter 1 injunction.

It was this country’s answer to the chal- lenge of the Holy Alliance. It is a declaration that tempt to plant or enlarge the monarchical in- stitutions of Europe in this hemisphere is regarded as unfriendly to the United States. Instead of estab- lishing a protectorate over other countries it deprives them oi the right to consent to transfer their alle- | giance to a European sovereignty. any a For instance, if the Brazilians should decide unani- mously to transfer their allegiance to their blood re- lations, the Portuguese, and to accept the sovereignty of the house of Braganza, all voluntarily consenting thereto, under the Monroe doctrine we would deny them that right and would by force prevent their en- joyment of it, which Mr. Bryan will please observe would be denying to them the consent of the gov- erned Colonel Bryan declares that denial of the policy of a protectorate is an assault on the Monroe doc- trine, while at the same time he proposes to destroy the Monroe doctrine by a Quixotic attempt to make it globular instead of hemispherical, and lifting it out | of its legitimate locus to spread it over Asia. His discussion of these two things in his letter of | acceptance is that of 2 charlatan, and is another illus- ! tration of the shallow and illogical quality of his mind. T tional convention passed off quietly and re- | sulted in a decided victory for the nationalist | or anti-annexation party. This fulfills the hope of | the well-wishers of Cuba everywhere. There is no | doubt but a system of government can be easily framed for the island which will preserve the inde- pendence and promote the welfare of its people. ~ That an island people can remain independent and maintain a government, even when mot perfected along the lines suggested by the experience of conti- nental countries, is shown by Hayti: While but little can be said that would flatter the Haytian system, it has at least maintained the island free from foreign | aggression and has discharged its international obli- | gations. Doing this the outside world is but little concerned with its domestic- administration, which must be assumed to be such as the people require and indorse. | Cuba can be certainly no less capable of decorous conduct in its international relation, while the su- | perior character of its people is a guarantee of « far higher class of domestic government. The United States, in its declaration of war against Spain, as- | sumed the responsibility of advising the Cuban gov- |crnm¢m. and therefore the constitution must con- form to the enlightened principles of our own. As- | sured of the realization of their hope of independence, the best minds of Cuba are occupied with the problem of making that independence perpetual and separate and guarding it by well founded popular institutions. ‘When rotation in office has convinced them that there THE CUBAN ELECTION.

A well applied public school system will assimilate her people in a common civic mass, and her long | tragedy will be forgotten in the peace, happiness and. | prosperity of her future. THE PORT COLLECTORSHIP. NE of the most important Federal offices on the Pacific Coast, that of the Collector of the O Port of San Francisco, is now vacant. ' There will be of course many applicants for the position, and mong them the President will | be guided by the advice given him by the Senators from California and by others who are acquainted | with the State, its people ahd its need: It will be well, therefore, for ail who may be solicited to recom- mend this or that aspirant to bear in mind the grave | duties of the office and the importance of having in { the posjtion a man who is thoroughly capable of iul- | filling them not only with fidelity but with an un- failing efficiency. Let it be understood at the outset that The Call has no candidate for the office. It has no aspirant to support, and therefore has no opposition to any one who has a fitness for the position. All that The Call asks is that our Senators or any others who may maka recommeéndations to the President shall exercise a proper regard for the dignity of the office and the wel- | fare of the State, so that the appointee will be in every way worthy of the duties intrusted to him. For the right performance of the duties of the Col- | lector of the Port.of San Francisco the incumbent should be a big-brained, broad-gauge man. He shouid be one of sufficient sagacity to be able to promptiv detect any and every attempt at fraud, and of suffi- cient firmness to resist all the pressure that is sure to | be brought to bear upon him to connive at violations of the law in one form or another. Such a man can easily be found among the Repub- licans of California, and no one who falls below that standard should be recommended to the President. San Francisco is one of the most important ports of the nation, and its relative importance is rapidly in- creasing. making choice sion of commerce in the Orient gives San Francisco greater prominence in the commercial world. None can deny that a man of far more than ordinary c# pacity is needed to fulfill the duties of the collector- ship. No man of any other sort should be recom- mended by our Senators or our people. We repeat The Call has no particular candidatexa urge for the rlace, nor any interest in the struggle for the posi- tion other than that of all good citizens. The one de- sire is to see the office under the control of a man ['who can be relied upon to perform all of its duties with honor to himself, credit to the Republican pat | and benefit to the public. FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA. pRESIDENT KRUGER the from abandoned dispatches has Transvaal to its fate, and | Lourenzo Marquez announce the arrival there | of about 500 Boer refugees who have followed him, but still some of the sturdy patriots continue the fight and are giving Lord Roberts about as much as he can | do to keep his communications safe and the railroads in working order. The prolonged resistance of these men complicates the situation in South Africa and forebodes trotible to the British in their efforts to pacify the country and re-establish business. At the same time the call for the election of a new Parlia- ment in Great Britain renders it necessary for Salis- bury to declare what he purposes to do in the direc- | tion of pacification. The temper of the British pub- lic during the elections will of course be affected by the reports received from Africa, and consequently | the guerrilla warfare there may determine the result in a good many closely contested constituencies. British officers, civilian officials and newspaper correspondents have begun to study the prospects for a speedy resumption ¢f business in the Transvaal, but none of them has found anything to justify a sanguine | expectation in that regard. Discussing the attitude of the people, one of the closest observers sa “Along political lines it may be predicted with safety that the majority will submit to and acknowledge the new order of things. Yet, in many cases—one might almost say in most cases—it will be submission and not a ready and coniented acquiescence. All degrees of acceptance will be manifested. A few will welcome the new government, believing that its results will in- clude a hitherto unknown stability. Some will be in- different so long as they are not disturbed in the little round of a narrow life. Some, probably many, will cherish an enduring hatred of England and her Goy- ernment, will instill that hatred into the minds of theis children, and, though seeming to obey their new rulers, will be ever on the alert for opportunities, great or small, for manifesting their hostility."” As to the attitude the British authorities ought to take toward the conquered people there is a wide dif- ference of opinion. Some of the correspondents who | have followed Lord Roberts in his march assert that | the leniency of Roberts has encouraged the Boers to resist and to continue their guerrilla raids, while | others maintain that the harshness displayed by Brit- ish troopers in raiding farmhouses and villages has aroused a personal desire for vengeance and provoked the wrath of the Boers. One set demands that stern measures be taken to crush the guerrillas, and the other asks that a more humane treatment be shown | to all classes of Boers in order that they may the more | readily be reconciled to the new government which is ' to be imposed upon them. 1 Concerning the business conditions of the country | all seem agreed that for many years, at any rate, the | main sources of wealth will be mining and cattle- raising. It will require extensive irrigation to fit the land for profitable farming. In the end, however, | that will be achieved, and one student of the region feels sufficiently sanguine on the subject to say: “South Africa is 4 great country, and undoubtedly has a great future before it, but that future is not to-mor- row nror the next day. Some day, decades further on, | the world will need it, and will turn it into a garden | that will pay better than all its gold mines. But it 1 will be a long way off yet, and probably few of us will ' live to see it. South Africa is a sturdy infant, and will some day, by and by, grow to strong and sturdy man- hood. T also incline to a belief that, when that day comes, it will have a flag of its own, and that Africa, ‘from the Zambesi to Cape Town,’ will belong to the Afrikanders.” | United States Senator Clark of Montana intends éo make his campaign tour an adjunct to a traveling | vaudeville show. And, strange to say, he has made ‘l no dates for Bryan. Every movement made toward the exten- | ORGANIZER OF THE ‘Will Support the Part OLONEL OLIVER C. SABIN of Washington, D. C., who organized the Silver Knights of America and was the first secretary of that or- ganization, has deserted Bryan. Colonel Sabin was an active supporter of Mr. Bryan in the campaign of 18%, but.now he has announced that he will advocate | the re-election of President McKinley. He gives his reasons in the following statement: Editor San Franciseo Call: Four vears ago I belleved that the prosperity of our country depended upon the remonetiza- tion of silver and'its equal coinage with sold at the ratlo of 16 to 1 in order to give us more money. Our nation at that tlme and our people were debtors: busi- ness was paralyzed, and marfiufactories had almost ceased work throughout the entire United States, caused. as I believed then and do now, by a system f contraction in our circulation medium T money, and the Wilson tariff bill. The Republican administration has solved these problems and to-day we have more money in cipculation per capita than we have ever had in the history of our Gov- ernment. We had 'ess four years ago. Owing to Jthe influence of the Dingley tariff bill the wheels of our commerce have been set in motion, manufactories everywhere are busy, opportunity for la- bor is abundant, and Instead of our coun- try being filled with tramps (honest men unable to obtain employment) labor is now looking for workmen and better wages are being paid than is paid by any other people on the face of the earth. Tt would seem to me that any person with ordinary good sense should see that these conditions ought to continue. So far as [ am concerned I care nothing about party lines. T want to see those policies carried | out which will give us prosperity and place the people in the enjoyment of those blessings which God intended we should have, and under this Republican adminls- tration we are getting that nearer than we have ever had before. Mr. Bryan is a frée-trader and you take the application of his principles as tested, for Instance, in Englard, and we see that, according to the census of the United Kingdom, includ- ing England, Scotlard, Ireland and Wales, fpr the year of 159 there was one regis- tered pauper for every thirty-five inhabi- tants, while in the United States, despite the enormous foreign emigration, we had but one pauper to every five hundred in- habltants, showing clearly that our sys- tem of protecting American workmen by an American tariff is the only system which will bring prosperity (o our people; that is, the people who work with their hands. | Politics should be governed the same as a wise business man governs his business affairs, If we see a man who is always buying more than he sells and selling for less than the cost price that man is sure to fail; whereas ‘we see a man who sells at a profit and manufactures at a profit is sure to rise. There is nothirg my: terious in politics; there is nothing terious in governmental affairs; all we have to do is to apply the ordinary prin- ciples of good sense and thep follow and let our votes register our beliefs. If we believe in encouraging pauperism, if we believe in the hard times we had prior to this American tariff, then vote for the party which caused hard times. It will not do to say that all the hard times of the Cleveland administration belonged to those Democrats who were Clevelandites as represented by Mr. Cleveland, for that is not true. The Wilson tariff bill was passed by a Democratic Congress and Mr. Bryan himself is thoroughly opposed to the protection of American workmen. Then again, if we look at the present prosperous condition of the country everywhere and compare it with any period of the Government which has ever existed before, we find that cur prosper- ty is infinitely greater than it has ever been. We find that our workmen are more universally employed and at better wages and shorter hours than ever in our history. Then I ask what is the duty of the man who loves his fellow citizen and who wishes to see the one who works pald? Surely it cannot be to strike down the system of laws which protects the workmen and brings about all these | | | @ ittt OF AMERICA DESERTS BRYAN Country the Prosperity It Is Enjoying.
