In that antry the furious charge of hailstorms, threatening has been turned by a vigorous can- ing conquered Jack Frost in the form ingenuty has turned vpon him in his more subtle form, and the destructive white and black are rendered powerless to do harm by firing cannon over the vineyards, orchards and fields until they are thickly covered with the powder smoke of By preventing radiation of heat this paH either raises the dew point or by excluding the sun’s rays protects the vines against the sudden change of temperature which destroys them. It is also proposed to train cannon on the mobile and voracious grasshopper and cause him to cease to be 2 burden to the agriculturist, as he was in Egypt We hail these economic and constructive uses of the deadiy cannon. In California we have long known and used artificial cloud or fog, produced by smoke, 25 a protection from frost. As there is more fun and noise in firing a cannon for the same purpose it will no doubt become popular. While the country is at peace, which we pray may be the case most of the time, the army and the guns might be well employed in shooting grasshoppers and fighting frost. use would reconcile fearful people to an increase in the standing army, and would introduce army officers to our rural society. Who knows but a vigorous bombarding might loosen the grip of the San Jose scale, affright the red spider, knock the thrip silly. and even kill the destructive phylloxera? We invite proposals from the rural districts for can- non to be used for these purposes. The quartermas- ters’ stores are full of damaged powder incapable of shooting to kill at any distance but efficacious as against frost and bugs. The Government would be willing to work this off at a reasonable rate, and rural life would be enlivened by the roar of artillery, The suggestion is good, and deserves the attention of our horticulturists Al ——— An English engineer is quoted as saying that the greatest menace now visible to British manufacturing is the enormous output of oil in California and Texas; and by parity of reasoning the cheap fuel may be counted as a good promise of a development of man- wfacturing in the Sme: vhcre the oil is found. The South has hld one more illustration that buen. ing at the stake does not prevent crime, and yet that savage sort of lynching has been repeated; so it seems evident that unless vigorous measures be taken to prevent it the common run of people in that section may relapse into barbarism. The Federal courts are still sending out of the country the coolie “native daughters” of Chinatown. Tt might not be amiss to send their white sponsors on the same journey. We owe 1 to the ards, ading. Hav of h French frosts battle Such | ALY THE ALABAMA PLAN, HE Alabama constitutional convention is en- T ‘gaged in exercising its ingenuity upon the negro suffrage question, It meets for the sole pur- pose-of depriving-the negro of the political power se- cured to him by the fifteenth amendment. = Senator Morgan seems to be relied upon to lead the conven- tion to a result that will stand fire in the courts. He has communicated with the convention, with the result of raising its enthusiasm to a high pitch. His plan is to put in the constitution a section making only white men eligible to office in Alabama. This has the merit of exceeding subtlety. Such a provision ! will not be found obnoxious to the Federal constitu- tion, and will ‘render unnecessary any interference with the negro ballot. The South is between the devil of prejudice against the negro and the deep sea of deprivation of Repre- sentatives in Congress and votes in the Electoral Col- lege. If the negro is deprived of the ballot the free States may conclude to exercise their power to abridge representation based upon the negro popula- tion. But if the negro is permitted to vote, but can only vote for white candidates, he will probably { choose not to vote at all. He will be deprived of ]political aspiration and public ambition, but his legal | right will remain unabridged, and therefore repre- | sentation and the electoral vote will remain un- kchangeni | Senator Morgan adds what seems to us an entirely !unnccessar\ feature to his plan. It is a county board [oi registry with plenary power to decide who may | vote and who may not. This power might embroil the whites. {by the Commussioners’ Courts, and may admit to | vote or reject whom they please, and are answerable {to no authority for their acts. The Goebel ‘plan in | Kentucky was to let everybody vote and then throw lout such ballots as the election boards chose to re- i ject. It was what is commonly called a deadopenand- .‘ shut, and is believed to have been the means of over- { coming a majority of 40,000 cast against Goebel for i Governor. | The Alabama plan provides a board not to cancel | the ballot, but to wipe ont the voter. As it is pro- | posed to permit only white men to hold office, it is | conceivable that the registry boards with plenary | power may secure the defeat or election of candidates 1by rejecting voters white or black. Booker Washington has addressed tt)e convention !in an appeal of great power in behalf of the negro, Iremmdmg Alabama that it should not substitute | oppression for justice in dealing with him, lest it | water the wheel of the numerdus exodus schemes | which, by appealing to the negroes, may deprive the State oi its wealth-producing black labor population. It appears, however, that this industrial phase of the question does not appeal to Morgan, who is on | record as desiring that very thing. The business men | of Alabama, however, may not agree with the poli- ticians upon the benefit of banishing the laboring 1 population. e et At the meeting of the Confederate Veterans’ Asso- ciation in Memphis there was submitted a report on school histories in which it was stated: “We South- ern people once regarded Abraham Lincoln as one of | the most despicable creatures that ever lived; now, while we do not indorse the policy which he pursued, 1we honor him for his unquestioned sincerity, patriot- ism and ability”; so now the bloody chasm may be considered closed. STANFORD IDEALS. |, RESIDENT JORDAN'S address to the gradu- | P ating class at Stanford upon the “Educational Ideals of Leland Stanford” was evidently de- | signed for a wider circle than the academic audience | that heard it. In some measure it is a vindication of | the university from the adverse criticism to which it | has been subjected. Of course no direct refcrence | was made to the critics or to their criticisms, but at | the same time the purpose of Stanford and the spirit | that animates it were set forth with a degree of em- | phasis which doubtless owed much of its fervor and | eloquence to the fact that such criticisms have been made. After pointing out that the university, though but ten vears old, has made a character for itself and must be judged by it, and that character is the resuit- ant of the initial impulse, the ideals developed and | the resistance of surroundings, President Jordan pro- ceeded to outline the nature of the initial impulse the founder had given to the university and to describe | the ideals which have developed from it. | In the first place it is noted that the founder | “would leave the university free to grow with the coming ages. He would extend no dead hand from the grave to limit its activities or to control its move- { ments. The deed of gift is in favor of education puse | and simple.” It was designed to be a democratic in- | stitution, and Dr. Jordan says: “No other university has recognized so distinctly the absolute democracy of knowledge. * * * No class of men are chosen to the exclusion of others, and no class of studies is | given a fallacious importance through force of aca- demic pressure or through inertia of academic tra- dition.” Stanford held the belief that the essential part of education is the thorough knowledge of some one thing that would fit the student for a useful life; he would have the study of literature and the study of engineering pursued side by side in order that the student of either should have thg benefits of the in- fluences emanating from the other; the courses of instruction werg to be open to men and to women alike, but it was not desired by the founder to make the university natable mainly for the number of its students. . Stanford knew, as Dr. Jordan says, “that a few hundred men well trained and under high in- fluences would count for more than as many thou- sands hurried in droves over a ready-made curfi- culum.” i t 1 dealing with the teaching force of the university and the principles governing its selection. On that point | m the president said: “Compared with the character of the faculty every other element in the university is of relatively little importance. Great teachers make a university great. The chief duty of the col- lege president is the choice of teachers. If he has learned the art of surrounding himself with men who are clean, sane and scholarly, all other matters of uni- versity administration will take care of themselves, He cannot fail if he has good men around him. And in the choice of teachers the clement of personal san- ity seemed of first importance to Mr. Stanford—the abilify to see things as they are. The university chair should be the center of clear seeing, from which right acting should radiate.” Such, then, are the ideals of Stanford—a compre- hensive course of instruction directed in the case of |to each student to specific ends useful to the community land directed by a teaching force composed of men The county boards are to be appointed ! The most interesting part of the address was that having clear eyes and sane minds, men who can see things. as.thiey are and judge them by. the light of pure reason. Perhaps in-some of the statements we can perceive a reason for the recent changes in the faculty. At any rate the president’s address has served not only his university but all California. It is right that the ideals of this noble institution should be vin- dicated from any misrepresentations that might affect its influences among the people; and to that end the address of Dr. Jordan comes umqu. pertinent and patriotic. ——— The President has decided we are to have no extra session of Congress to meet the emergency caused by the decision -of the Supreme Court in the Porto Rican cases, but it was a close call, and there will be lots of delicate work for Congress when it does meet. s ———— A THE RUSH FOR NOME. EPORTS from Seattle are to the effect that R long before the day of sailing there was not’a ticket left for passage on any of the first ves- sels preparing to depart for Nome. It is added in the dispatch: “Each of the steamship agents has orders in hand for from 150 to 500 tickets, and could sell as nfany more~if there were any t.hanc: of getting a vessel.” Among the passengers there are doubtles{ a great many unwise adventurers, persons unfitted for the climate or the work they are going to face, but these will not be anything like such proportionate numbers as in the first wild scramble to get“to Dawson and the Klondike. Alaska is no longer an unknown land. Its resources and its possibilities are now fairly well understood, although of course they have been but superficially explored and can hardly be said to be developed at all. From the reports that have been published in the press or sent out through private let- ters the people have derived a knowledge of what to expect at the different mining camps, and as a conse- ‘quence it is fair to assume that most of those who are now going north are reasonably well informed and have some substantial basis for their hopes of success when they get there. In short, there is every reason to believe that Alas- kan trade and travel have now settled down to a solid basis. The crowds that go north are no longer made up mainly of dreamy visionaries or needy and reckless adventurers. Men of capital and of good business sense have taken hold of the country, and with the accustomed enterprise and energy of Ameri- cans are rapidly making it a land where industry and thrift wil] be reasonably sure of reward. A variety of industries are springing up along the Yukon, and recent reports described the success which has at- tended the manufacture of brick on a large scale for use in the construction of buildings at Dawson. All | of“these things imply a permanent settiement of the country and promise a profitable market for Califor- nia products of nearly all kinds. While at the present time the Canadian country around the Klondike holds the foremost place among the northern gold fields and Dawson is the metropolis of the whole country, there are good reasons for be- lieving that on the American side of ‘the line there will yet be richer mining camps than any in the Cana- dian provinces. The Nome mines are kyown to be rich, and their output would this year have been very large had not the intrigues of Judge Noyes and Re- ceiver McKenzie involved so many of them in law- suits it was impossible to work them. After the ex- perience McKenzie has had with the Circuit Court of Appeals and that which awaits Judge Noyes when he gets here to answer the charges against him, it is not likely there will be any further interference on their part with the miners ecither at Nome or elsewhere, Accordingly we may look for a rapid development of Alaska at all favorable points and count the country as a valuable addition to our Pacific Coast markets, e ——— A few California gentlemen of the cloth complain that people are too prone to look upon matrimony as a picnic. Tt would be interesting to know what the critics would think if most of us viewed the solemn state as a bear fight. e —— SEVEN YEARS OF WORK. PON the record of work accomplished during U the seven years of its history the Merchants’ Association had good reason to be gratified when it assembled in annual mecting at the Academy of Sciences on Wednesday evening. It is to be doubted if any other city in the world has a body of public-spirited men who by voluntary efiprt have achieved so much for the public good within anything like a similar space of time. The work of the association has been of a well nigh universal character. It has been directed to almost everything that concerns the welfare of San Fran- cisco, from the sweeping of streets to the expansion of commerce all over the globe. While moss of the work undertaken remdins to be accomplished, a great deal has been actually done. We can find all around us evidences of the work the organization has either directly or indirectly performed in the way of muni- cipal improvement, while in commercial lines much has been attained that is not visible to the general public. No better evidence of the usefulness of the organiza- tion can be asked than is found in the fact that it now has the hearty co-operation of no less than 1295 firths, Its growth has been steady and its membership has increased only as it has given new proofs of its ser- vice and its freedom from anything in the way of self-seeking cliques. So long as it continues to be active and public spirited as in the past it will con- tinue to advance in popular confidence and augment in membership until it eventually has upon its rolls very nearly every business house in the eity. That the success of the association has been mainly due to the officers who have directed its efforts goes without saying, and it was therefore altogether right and fitting that upon his retirement from the office of president the members of the organization should have presented Mr. F. W, Dohrmann with a testi- nogial expressing appreciation of “the exceptional ability and unsclfish devotion” with which he dis- charged the duties of president during the seven years of his service. Under the new officers the association goes forward to the work that remains with howl of ‘success firmly founded upon what has been done in the past and upon the cordial support it has a right to expect from the public generally, The order has gone forth that the doughty mem- bers of our local police force must not dye their hair or their mustaches. Chief Sullivan ought to supple- ment his command by an imperative injunction for his hired men to wear masks after the change.
