VERY fair minded man recognizes the right of E labor to combine to better its condition, within lawful bounds and by lawful means. A good cause, however, is frequently lost by the use of bad means in its advancement. When labor unions are advised to use unlawful means, and to deny to others the rights claimed for themselves, they are on untenable ground and cannot win. By seek- ing ends not lawful they sacrifice more desirable ends that are lawful. The striking employes in San Francisco should realize by this time that the Examiner’s management of their case is alienating their friends, antagonizing their well wishers, and. toughening into steel the fighting fiber of their opponents. Leit alone, an un- biased public opinion would look kindly upon them. To-day public opinion in California is wholly against them. When the Examiner, using as its pretext a lie about Mr. Frank Symmes, injected itself intothe controversy and proceeded to out-Herod Herod, the public was not surprised. A ripple of amusement passed over the city, for every one knows that the only controll- ing principle of the Examiner is money getting—dirty or clean, matters not. No money can come to it foul enough to soil the hands that grasp it. Its reasoning was plain. It said: “We will take up the cause of the strikers. We will shout and outlie everybody. They number thousands. We will get them to stop other papers and take ours. Merchants and manu- facturers have destructible property. They are timid. If they stop advertising we will bully them into com- ing ba¢k.” Upon that line the Examiner acted. If the unions had suffered its friendship in silence they would not have lost ground, for no man is respon- sible for the folly of his fool friends. But they ac- cepted their new leader and ruined their cause. In pursuance of its policy the Examiner has vili- fied the Police Department, which has patiently and temperately done its duty in preserving order. No AMUSEMENTS.

THE STATE FAIR. EPORTS from Sacramento concerning prepa- rations for the State Fair, which opens on | Monday, give assurance that the exhibits of ear will fully reflect the abundant prosperity and growing improvement of the State. It is of course natural that it should be so, for as California ad- | , so should all her institutions advance. The cular ought to reflect the growth of | the .-wdumu and mntcnal “elfarc of the people, and | do so on this oc- casion. The California State Fair ought to be the most im- portant of its kind in the Union. In the first place | the State has richer, larger and more varied agri- | cultural resources than any other State, not even ex- cepting the giant commonwealth of Texas. In the second place the location of the State and its trade | ditions give it a prestige in its own territory not possessed by any other State. On this coast we have In this section of the Union the year is not marked by any of those large expositions which have now become so common in the East. The Caii- fornia State Fair is therefore in a position to com- mand attention as the chief exposition of the Pa- cific Coast, and as such it merits the liberal support of the public. It js the expectation that all the exhibits ‘intended for the fair will be in place in readiness for the open- ing on Monday evening. Still it is noted that a good many exhibitors have been slow in making up their minds to take part in the display, for applications for space are being received at this late date. With prop- erly directed energy, however, all can be completed in time to fulfill the expectation of a complete exhi- bition on the opening day, and from the reports that come from Sacramento it seems that the energy is not lacking in any department. The racing at the fair will be exceptionally inter- esting. * California is the land where the horse reaches his highest perfection. We have not the large number of wealthy stables that is found in New York, nor so many almost historic breeding farms as Kentucky, but already we have become famous for the excellence of our horses of every kind, and the entries that have been made for the various events at the fair assure a season of sport hardly to be surpassed in any part of the Union. California has had a prosperous year, and her peo- ple should now be ready to enjoy it. The opening of the fair will afford recreation and instruction for all classes. The patronage should be large and should come from all parts of the State. Every ef- fort has been made to prepare an exposition that will awaken the gratification and the pride of Californians, and now the popular support should be liberal and abundant. cor no rivals, It may be all right to continue to refer to the Sul- tan as “the unspeakable Turk,” but just the same he seems to be able to outtalk any diplomatist in Europe 2nd the only way they can get even with him is to break off the conversation and leave his court. The agitation for a change in the date of i inaugura- ting Presidents so as to fix it for the end of April in- stead of March 4 is gomg briskly on in the East, and it begins to look as if there might be something done 2bout it at the coming session of Congress. It is said that the failure of his cylindrical balloon has decided Santos-Dumont to make the next one “ellipsoidal,” and if there be any possibility for a balloon to travel on its name or its shape, the new |are protected in transit on the streets. | newspaper objecting is at bottom a criminal. | ily | honest man can object because a laborer is protected his right to work, nor because a merchant’s goods The man or The Examiner loudly proclaims that the city is \\nhmu police protection and invites an invasion of thugs and thieves, and yet when special police are employed to furnish protection it denounces that and says their employment is superfluous and insulting! It lies shamelessly zbout the number and character of assaults upon persons and property by strikers and their sympathizers, though these have been minimized by the very police protection which it denounces. In this land of law and liberty can it be regarded as a slight thing that even one man in the exercise of an inalienable right to labor for the support of his fam- is beset by a mob, beaten, broken and left to suf- fer, languish and perhaps die? These things occur numerously every day and yet the Examiner tells its readers that police protection is unnecessary and an insult to the strikers! What a devil's roar that paper would make if such a cowardly mob of employers should attack and beat a striking employe as he walked the street peaceably! When calm and dispassionate consideration was needed, the Examiner daily seeks.to excite lawless and insurrectionary passion, riot, bloodshed and anarchy. By shameless effrontery and misrepresentation it has sought to make the earnest and enterprising business men of this community appear as inhuman monsters of greed, indifferent to the rights of their fellow men, and has held over them the threat of mob violence, boycott and rapine, which it openly advo- cates. When the country produce was put in peril of de- struction by its evil advice to tie up handling and shipping, it felt retribution coming. from the coun- try and its counting room conscience was touched. Thereupon it began a frantic effort to shift the re- sponsibility to the employers who had nothing to do whatever with the sympathetic strike of the steve- dores and longshoremen and had no power to end it. Every farmer knows that the wheat bIocLade can be broken when the stevedores, who quit without griev- | ance, return to an employment in which they had no complaint. Let those who shut the crop out of mar- ket by ordering the strike without grievance permit their deluded followers to return to work, and the crops will move. The employers are not responsible, no demand involving hours or wages is made upon them, and as no concession is asked how can they grant any? Under the Examiner's advice street cleaning stopped. That prime necessity for the health of the people ceased. The teamsters who hauled the waste, in violation of a contract, urged by the Examiner’s impish malice, refused to keep their agreement and the thoroughfares of this city will soon need graders instead of sweepers. The people have the filth blown | in their faces, into their stores and houses, carrying deathly germs, all that the Examiner’s ld!Otlc malice may be indulged and 2 few more nickels get into its cash drawer. A Minnesota recluse who recently died left a will saying: “After my funeral expenses are all paid I direct that my administrators gather up all my cash in bank and, in the presence of witnesses, burn it until nothing but ashes are left.” A nephew of the deceased is now contesting the will on the ground that the old man was crazy, and if the courts so decide we will know what to think of the next man who has money to,/burn. 4 D ample time to discuss all the probabilities and possibilities of the situation, anything in the way of a new suggestion is acceptabie as a help to the talk, even if it be hardly more than a midsummer madness. Consequently a gentleman of Alabama, disgusted with Democracy and intolerant of Repub- licanism, has obtained a hearing for a call ta the heirs and assignees of the old Whig party to rally for the salvation of the country. - The advocate of the revival asserts that Webster and Clay were the greatest of American statesmen, that the principles they inculcated and the policies they approved during their lives are as excellent and as valid now as they were in the days when the two great orators, with living voices, expounded them in the Senate and declaimed them to the people. Therefore, says he, let us resuscitate the party of Webster and of Clay and appeal to the people in the next election on a platform declaring for “the Union, the constitution as it was in 1860, and the enforce- ment of all just laws.” ‘When the valorous and mystical Owen Glendower declared, “T can call spirits fr6m the vasty deep,” Harry Hotspur replied, “So can T and o can any man; but will they come?” Much the same sort of answer has been made by practical politicians in the East to the Alabama enthusiast who claims to be A CALL FOR WHIGS. URING the silly season, when politicians have one ought to go a long way. able to call up Clay and Webster from the vasty deep - of bygone time. They admit the ease of calling upon the old Whigs, but they question whether the Whigs will come. The age of Webster and of Clay, they assert, has gone by, and furthermore they deny that anything would be gained if the two great leaders came back; for it is not known, say the mockers, that neither of them could get elected to the Presi- dency even when alive, For these mocking critics the Alabama man has his reply ready. He would leave Clay and Webster where they are. He would revive nothing but their memories and their names and use those only for a campaign cry. For active leadership in the fight he would nominate: “For President, Thomas B. Reed of New York; for Vice President, General Joseph Wheeler of Alabama.” Here, then, is a party, a platiorm and a ticket ready-made for any citizen who wishes to get in and shout for it. Whether such a party could run with any success may be questioned, but there can be no dispute that it could fly—for it would be a bird. A double suicide in New England has brought to light the fact that a married man had been for years making love to working girls and borrowmg their money in order to get means to support his family, and now the nroralists do not know whether to con- demn him for falseness to his sweethearts or praise him for fidelity to his wife. e — o ONE FOR BRYAN. RYAN has received from the Democrats of B Towa something of consolation for the wrong put upon him by those of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. In the Iowa State Convention a majority of the committee on resolutions reported a platform ignoring the declarations made by the national convention at Kansas City, but the minority insisted on a substitute which explicitly reaffirmed | those declarations, and when a vote was taken, the substitute received 66974 votes against 550%. So Bryan scored a victory and the reorganizers had a setback. Of course as. Iowa is surely Republican, not only for this year but for 1904 as well, the adoption of the Bryan platform by the Democracy of that State will hardly have much political effect. It serves, { however, to show that the free silver man is not so | hopelessly in a minority of his party as some persons have supposed. He and his friends have still strength enough to make a fight in some quarters, and will probably retain it long enough to be able to give a good account of themselves in the next national con- vention. In the debate on the question it was asserted by some of the Bryanite speakers that to ignore the Kansas City platform would lose to the party in Iowa upward of 20,000 voters. The estimate was prob- ably an exaggerated cne, made to suit the occasion, but there is undoubtedly a measurable degree of truth in it. There are a good many radicals in Iowa, as was shown by the support General Weaver had there, and they have been induced to vote for Demo- cracy only because Democratic platiorms have con- formed to their peculiar ideas about money. To have ignored their platform would probably have led to a loss of their votes, and without them Demo- cracy in Jowa would hardly be more than a faction. Conceding that something in the way of voting strength has been gained by reaffirming the Kansas City platform, there remains the question whether the gain is worth having. Even with the full support of the Populists in Jowa, the Democrats cannot win in that State, and their manifestation of continued dbvotion to the exploded fallacies of Bryanism will prevent any return cf the conservative Democrats. It is therefore a barren victory and one over which there will be little exultation even among the Bryan- ites themselves. g The one feature of importance in the event is the added proof that Democracy as a political party with clearly defined aims in national politics has ceased to exist. The men who are now leading the different States are using its name and its, machinery for per- sonal purposes only, and each set adopts such a declaration of principles as they deem most advan- tageous in their own States for the present cam- | paign. Thus Ohio Democrats ignore Bryan's plat- form and virtually repudiate Bryan himself; in Mary- land similar tactics are followed; in Pennsylvania | they declare for a “non-partisan” campaign; while in Towa they ostentatiously bid for the Populist vote. Of such a party, so constituted and so led, the country can expect nothing. It does not afford even a reasonable opposition party to serve as a check upon Republican extremists. It is in fact absolutely valueless to the country. Conservative Democrats who after the Ohio convention may have indulged the hope that they would once more have power and influence in their party will now perceive the folly of thejr hopes. Bryanism is still strong and wherever anything is to be gained even temporarily by yield- ing to it the politicians of the party will consent. The Towa platform, therefore, while of no value in that State is still one of much significance for the coun- try at large. It has been suggested to the managers of the St. Louis Exposition that it would be a good plan to make the show distinctive by substituting a model city instead of a midway as a side attraction, and should the plan be adopted the country will wait with inter- est to see whether the idea of what a model city ought to be which prevails in St. Louis has been derived from her emulation of Chicago or an aspiration to be #he Athens of America. Parisian reformers have come to the conclusion that vice in their city is due mainly to holiday visit- ors. They have compiled statistics showing that it blossoms out on the streets as soon as the tourists begin to come in and dies out when they depart. One of them has gone so far as to say that Americans do more barm to Paris than Paris does to them. & LSS King Edward has given orders that three Ameri-. can elevators be placed in Buckingham palace, and they are to be so constructed that he can operate them himself by pressing a button. Evidently his Majesty intends to be up to date, and will soon have his palace just as comfortable as a flat. The United States will hardly undertake to guar- antee the payment of ihe Sultan’s debts to France, but since he has paid ours we may reasonably assure the French that the old man will doubtless do the proper thing if they give him time. It is announced that when the Czar visits France he will be entertained by a review of 150,000 troops, but it would have beer more appropriate to call an international peace conference to meet him and show him how it can work.

One of the Papal secretaries, while look- ing over some old papers at the Vatican the other day, came across a curious | story. In 1857 the railroad company in Rome decided to present to, Pope Pius IX a private railroad carriage, which was to consist of an oratory, a salon and a sleep- ing compartment, and which was to be decorated by the eminent Gerome. The artist accepted the commission, and in due | time three beautiful paintings by him adorned the carriage. One was a grand allegorical work, in which the truths of religion were represented by St. Peter and St. Paul; another was a painting in which the Pope was represented as bless- ing a steamer, which was approaching the coast of Italy, and in the third the Pon- tiff, surrounded by cardinals and bishops; was seen baptizing the first locomotive. Besides these paintings there were several medallions containing figures of the Vir- gin, the infant Jesus and the twelve apos- tles. Now for some reason or other Pope Pius never received this beautiful carriage, and the question is, what has become of The matter has been brought to the attention of Pope Leo and he has ex- pressed a strong desire to ascertain the fate of the vehicle, not because he would ever be likely to use it, but hecause he desires, if possible, to bring out of their present obscurity the impressive works With The Ireland Ireland 0f My Boyhood.
