UR contemporzary, the Salt Lake Herald, though published in a tommunity hitherto O antagonistic te a reclassification of the pub- lic lands and the leasing of such as are best fitted for sees light on the subject, and what it says ify all who believe in justice between all own- the public domzin. Speaking of the effect of nate grazing of the public range in com- mon, the Herald says: grazing, will gra ers of and the bushes and undergrowth cting them from the rays of the weather and holding the snows as they | melt gradually in the spring, are eaten away so clean that they never recover. The result is that not only is this pasturage destroyed, but the tracts lower down which are watered by the streams become | worthless. While the question of land leasing by the | Government is too new to have been thoroughly dis- cussed, there seem to be many points in the scheme which commend themselves to those interested in the welfare of the West. The outlawry that has been of | such frequent occurrence on the ranges of late can- | | { about stream sun in hot aot be allowed to go on unchecked, but it is difficult o see how it can be prevented while the pasture is sommon property. Then, again, the lands belong aeither to sheep men nor to cattle owners, but to the whole public. Any profits accruing from their ase should not be monoplized by one or two sets of | men. They should go into the public treasury for sroper 1 worked i all. This would be the case were a asehold law passed, and injustice would be | to no one. Each sheep or cattle owner would get what he paid for, and the good effect of in orderly system of this kind would in the end more | han repay him for the additional expenditure.” That is an excellent statement of a matter that is itracting the attention of the whole country. It means that the contending parties are weary of law- essness and warfare on the range, which merely de- sides which set of men shall have the monopoly of de- itroying the value of property which belongs o neither The West has everything to gain, in property, pres- ige, influence and good order, from the development vhich impinges upon a proper leasehold policy for he public range. The seli-respect of the stockmen will be preserved by putting them upon the same basis as other business men, paying for what they get ind use. The business will be restored and made sermanent, and the consumer will get the benefit of he most economical production of the commonest nd most necessary form of food DODGING ALL ISSUES. HEN asked shortly after the Ohio Demo- Wcralic convention how the Democrats of Pennsylvania would deal with the political dtuation one of the Democratic leaders of that State eplied: “There is no political situation this year, ind the Democrats of Pennsylvania will not try to nake one. Their State platform will be confined to State issues.” The policy thus outlined has been adopted in Mary- and in advance of Pennsylvania action. The astute Mr. Gorman arranged everything beforehand and nade matters about as harmonious as they can be in + Democratic convention during the present demor- dized condition of the party. He also has looked wver the country and has discerned no, political situa- ion for the Democrats to deal with, and his party vill go into the fight with banners blazoned with my and every kind of a motto calculated to catch rotes. In the meantime a situation is shaping itself in Dhio. Despite Bryan’s refusal to give aid to a move- nent among the radicals to bolt the ticket and the slatform put up by the Democratic party, a number f stalwart silver men have decided to make the is- ue and to take an appeal to the people. They have srganized under the title, “The Progressive Demo- ratic Party,” have adopted a platform laudatory of 3ryan, reaffirming the Kansas City platform and de- nanding public ownership of all public utilities and hat all money of whatever kind shall be issued di- ectly by the Government and without the interven- jon of banks The bolters are not likely to amount to much, but hey serve to show that the situation is not altogether o blank as some Democratic leaders think. There nay be more astuteness shown in dodging the issues o the time than in meeting them, but it remaing to « seen whether the dodging can be done effectively. fr. Gorman is a very clever politician, and he knows hat this is his last chance to win a political victory. wecordingly he is doing the best that he can, but he say find that by evading the problems of the situa- on he will lose more votes than hekgains é | cumstances over which he had no control. | the misfortune to be made an issue by Colonel Bryan | given him the opportunity he desired.

Captain Robley D. Evans, the “F)g’-mug Bob” of the service, writes as well as he fights, and there are others. Just why Maclay, the pot boiler, a civilian, by official designation a laborer in Brooklyn navy-yard, came to be made official historian is some- thing the country wants to know about, if it is per- fectly convenient for those who can to tell. There has been a well intended effort to let the Sampson-Schley controversy wear itself out. The country did not wish to arbitrate between the two officers, nor to sit in judgment upon either. To tell the plain truth about it, the general judgment is that from the military standpoint the Spanish war was not such an achievement as deserves all the brag made about it. Its results are of high significance, but Spain as a military power was in such hopeless de- cay that to whip her scemed almost an act of cruelty. Where she had guns she had no powder, and where powder no guns. Where she had both together she had no gunners. There was not even powder enough to fire an official salute at many of her important colonial stations. The one joke of the brief and grim and unpleasant little war occurred at Guam. When an American cruiser appeared off that capital and fired at the petty citadel the hostile demonstra- tion was mistaken by the Spanish Governor for a salute. He had not heard that Spain and the United States were at war. Dressing himself in full uniform, he embarked with his staff to explain to the American commander that he could not return the salute be- cause his Government did not-supply-him with pow- der! To his astonishment he was made a prisoner and carried off without being permitted to return to his house for a clean shirt. In justice to all parties, however, it must be re- membered that we did not know the weak military condition of Spain until after her incapacity for re- sistance had been tested and demonstrated. We took no chances and wisely prepared in advance for any emergency, and could have won against a resistance many fold greater than our valetudinarian enemy was able to put up. But wherever there occurred cause for controversy, as at the nayal battle of Santiago, the strife has raged with a fury not known in the personal disputes of the old navy, although the) often led to sanguinary duels. Admiral Schley has been the victim of several cir- He had his Presidential campaign. The political colonel did not care a straw about the merits of the issue, but Schley is a Marylander, that State was behind bim, its electoral vote was in doubt, and Bryan wanted it. So he put in Schley in issue there—and failed to carry Maryland. This was taken as a rebuke to the admiral, when the faet was that not a dozen voters in Maryland cared who was the hero or who the coward of Santiago. They were voting upon other questions entirely. This action of Colonel Bryan harmed Schley, yet he did not procure it, nor | could he have prevented it. When a man’s grievance has been made a political issue, even against his own judgment, he must wait until some act of his fool enemies has offset that of his fool friends. Schley has not waited in vain. . His enemies have attacked him through Maclay and Maclay's lan- guage is so intemperate, indecent and so far removed from that which any man of .good sense would use in writing history that the country is inclined to de- mand not only that Schley get whatever vindication there is in the facts, but that Laborer Maclay be can- celed off the payroll and kicked into private life. Factions in the navy may enjoy that way of getting even, but the people .of this country resent the offi- cial sophistication of their history, vand will have it. not It is said that- Paul Kruger will go back to his South African home in October. He should have a care that his home is not transferred to the dismal St. Helena prison of Cronje. A PLEA FOR THE ARID WEST. AMES J. HILL of the Great Northern railway J system has become one of the most pronounced advocates of a comprehensivé scheme of reclaim- ing the arid lands of the West. He has recently sought to interest Chicago in the enterprise by telling the people of that city that if the arid lands be re- claimed the Pacific Coast will soon have a popula- tion of 20,000,000 and Chicago will be the metropolis of the world. Mr. Hill's argument is a simple one. says, something like 400,000,000 of people in Asia with whom we can open trade relations. Those peo- ple are not civilized and care little for manufactured goods in large quantities; moreover, most of the people are too poor to buy anything costly, or of for- eign make. - Their desire is mainly for food—that is, wheat, corn and fruit. Such supplies can be most economically shipped from the western side of the American Union. If, therefore, the Government pro-* mote the reclamation of the arid lands we can fur- nish Asia with the food supplies for her people-and thus obtain something like a domination of Asiatic commerce. In developing his theory he recently stated to a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune: “People re- gard with amazement the present rapid growth of wealth in the United States, but this will be compara- tive poverty when with twenty million people on the Pacific Slope engaged in raising grain and manufac- turing flour for the Orient we can dispatch large freighters daily from each of the Pacific ports loaded with the manufactured goods of the Eastern factories, the cotton of the South, and the food products of the mountain valleys. Then a river of wealth will be turned into the United States, which will put to shame the visions of the wildest dreamers. If Con- gress at its next sessiorf will appropriate $100,000,000 in 2 per cent bonds to be used in canal and reservoir construction, the money will be returned directly many times in the increase and value of the public Jand. Indirectly, in trade results, the benefits will be permanent and incalculable.” With any tentative scheme for experimenting or There are, he The advocacy of a man like James J. Hill is worth something to any enterprise, and the supporters of arid land reclamation will gladly welcome him to their ranks. His prediction that such a policy will make Chicago the metropolis of the world may be dis- puted, for there is no reason why that city should grow m* e than others because of an expansion of our commierce with the Orient. The effect upon Pa- cific Coast cities, however, would certainly be great, and when once the work of reclamation had become fairly launched it would probably not be long before this coast actually attained the population of 20,000, 000, which Mr. Hill predicts. . The prolonged hot weather throughout the Mis- sissippi Valley has set the people to talking about the advisability of planting forest trees as a means of preventing such occurrences in the future, so the hot blast may blow good to somebody after all. R closes to-morrow, Saturday, August 3, and consequently there remain but two more days in which citizens who have not yet registered can get their names on the rolls and thus secure their right to vote. The new primary law gives to this election a char- acter far .different from that of the former primaries. It will not be dominated by bosses and their gangs. Honest men have now a chance to cast an honest ballot and have it honestly counted. The bosses are aware of that fact and have been straining every energy and every faculty they possess to get upon the register a number of their followers sufficiently strong to outvote decent citizens at the polls. In that effort they will be overwhelmingly defeated if the people do their duty. The only thing that can give the predatory politicians a victory is a spirit of indifference on the part of the better elements of the people toward their civic responsibilities. If any con- siderable number of good citizens stay away from the polls the bosses wili win; but, if the workingmen, the business men and the professional men go to the polls in anything like their full strength, the tax- eaters will be beaten. The issue before the people is that of saving San Francisco politics from degradation and the municipal government from the control of corrupt men. That issue will be determined for this election mainly at the Republican primaries. It is a foregone conclu- sion that if Republicans surrender their nominating convention to the bosses they will have no chance of carrying the city, and consequently every interest of the party and of the city urges genuine Republicans to register and make sure of their right to vote against the bosses when the election takes place. Only two days remain in which registration can take place. The duty must be attended to to-day or to-morrow. It is no longer possible to delay further. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS. EGISTRATION for the primary elections The question is now up to every citizen whether he | will forfeit his franchise and thus serve the bosses, or whether he will register and vote with the people. Registration closes to-morrow. King Edward does not talk so much like a medieval war lord as Kaiser William, but he is reported to be and custom the British are coming to believe he would be an old-time monarch in every respect if he MARE ISLAND YARD.

The officials of the Navy Department have signed the contract for the a time has been under consideration, and that will naturally and inevitably lead to the improvement of reach the dock without difficulty. The Call has repeatedly directed attention to the fastly championed every effort made to impress that importance upon the officials at Washington, and showing so much of a desire to revive old-time pomp had only a chance. last the recognition due from the Govern- construction of the great drydock which for so long the channel so that the largest vessels of the navy can importance of the Mare Island Navy-yard, has stead- consequently shares the general gratification over the "signing of the contract for the dock. At the present time there are not anything like adequate’ facilities for repairing our war vessels on this coast, and what has been done to'extend the facilities at Mare Island is therefore in the nature of an action that has long been imperatively required. When the new one is completed Mare Island will have two of the finest docks in the world and will be able to carry out repairs on the largest of our warships now afloat. That much having been achieved, the next step is to procure from Congress the appropriation required to dredge the shoal and clear the channel. To that end the effotts of California Congressmen should now be directed, and they should have ample assist- ance from the merchants and other influential men of San Francisco. While the navy-yard is of importance to all California, it is especially so to this city, and our citizens should take a keen interest in everything that concerns its use and development. The movement for the improvement of the chan- nel should begin at once. Under the terms of the contract the stone drydock is to be completed within thirty-six months, and the contractors are quoted as saying they will have it ready in thirty months. By that time the channel should be deepened. We can never have a better time to make the fight for the channel appropriation than right now, for the pres- ent administration has shown itself favorable to the Mare Island yard, but we do not know how the next one will be. ey Since the famous Parisian flying-ship did not come up to expectations when officially tested and the sub- marine boat was also found defectivé, it ‘might be worth while to reverse the experiments. The flying- ship might do fairly well under water and the torpedo- boat prove a winner among the clouds. By judicial decree it costs a man $22.50 to hug a girl in Wilkesbarre.

To support a conveyance of real property there must be a consideration expressed, but it is not necessary that the consideration should consist of money. BANKRUPTCY—L. V., City. In order to become a pankrupt under the Federal bankrupt law the one who desires to be- come such must have been a resident six months or more of the State or Territory in which he files an application. - It is not necessary that he should be a resident of the State or Territory in which his cred- itors reside. THEM AND THEY—A, City. “Them” being the objective case of the pronoun “they,” in the sentence submitted it is correct to ufe “them,” namely: “Told the self-righteous people that the publicans and the women would enter into the king- dom before them.” would be correct to say: ‘‘to enter into the kingdom before they did.” POLL TAX EXEMPTION—G. H. S, Orange, Cal. The fact that a man who is 21 years and over has not registered and does not vote does not exempt him from the payment of poll tax. The only male inhabitants in the State who'are exempt are: “‘Paupers, idiots, insane per- sons, Indians not taxed and those who are over 60 years of age.” City.

C. “A” is in error when he declares that application in the United States. This Government does not depend on any foreign country in the-matter of issuing patents. MUSIC AND ANIMALS—S., Sanger, Cal. Many naturalists believe that the effect of music on dogs is disagreeable and they cite the fact that if dogs are at liberty when they hear music they will take to flight; that the effect is the same on cats, but in a lesser degree. The horse is sensible to martial music. Birds, especially the canary, are particularly sensible to music, clapping their wings as humans do their hands in approbation of the performance. There are a number of instances showing the effect of music on different” animals, but this department cannot present them. INVENTIONS—A. R., City. The great inventions and discoveries of the nine- teenth century were: Railways, steam- ships, electric telegraph, telephone, lucifer matches, . gas illumination, electric light- ing, photography, phonograph, Roentgen | rays, spectrum analysis, anesthetics, con- servation of energy, molecular theory of gases, velocity of light directly measured, the uses of dust, chemistry in definite pro- portion, meteors and meteoric theorles, glacial epoch, the antiquity of man, or- ganic evolution established, and embryology, germ theory of disease and the function of the leucorytes. —As to which is the greatest of these there is a question among scientists and commercial men. —_——— CORONADO TENT CITY, Coronado Beach, | Cal,, will be the popular summer resort this dication that most of the fair sex in that interesting ';‘:‘- It became famous last year for com- town are old maids or want to be. o entertainment and health.
