ARELY, if ever before in human history, have the people of a great city shown such evidence { universal mourning as was manifest in San co yesterday. It was a day of virtually a com- ation of business. Only such work as is y to the daily life of the community was car- Workshops, stores, offices and saloons were closed, and in many instances the merchants not only ut their doors, but drew down the curtains over dows, so that there was no display to dis- tract the mind from the sorrow of the occasion. Nature herself seemed to mourn. Though this is the pleasantest season of the year in San Francisco, and the period at which we have most of sunshine and least of fog or cloud, the day was dull and gray and somber, as if the sky had been draped over for the funeral. Throughout the city there was quiet,” and in comparison with the usual noises of traffic along the streets the hush was so deep as to impress itself with something of solemnity upon the minds of all. . These evidences of a well nigh universal love for the memory of McKinley attest that after all it is worth while for a great man to devote his energies to the service of the people. The career of a states- man is hard end often exasperating. At every point he Is subject to party criticism from his political opponents, and to the antagonisms of rivals in -his own party. He has to bear at times with miscon- ceptions on the part of his friends as well as with misrepresentations on the part of his foes. The work is hard and the pay is small. The outward prizes of official life are poor when compared with those which are to be gained by strong men in any of the lucra- tive industries of the world. Consequently it is not strange that at the close of a long life spent in pub- lic service some of those who have been most suc- cessful are heard to express regret that they did not choose another vocation and follow out a far different career. Moreover, political criticism in America is of such a free and unlicensed kind that it would seem upon the surface of things that we have but little respect for the men who hold official ‘positions among us. The profound mourning gver the death of McKinley proves the falseness of that seeming. In no land on earth is the chief magistrate or sovereign regarded by the great mass of the people with more of loyalty and esteem than in this land of ours. No ruler of our time or perhaps of any time has gone to his grave more sincerely mourned than was the chief who was laid down to his long rest yesterday. That the lesson of the ‘dread tragedy was deeply im- pressed upon the minds of all classes of the people was made evident by the universality of the.mourn- ing. How long that lesson will remain dominant in the minds of the public remains to be seen. In the hearts of some it will be ever present, but others will soon forget. From the community as a whole, how- ever, its teaching can never pass away. The nation has not had this great sorrow in vain. In this city there is every reason to believe the impression will be permanently lasting, and even those who are now but light-hearted children will recall for years to come the remembrance of the solemnity of yesterday’s day of mourning. Slot machine, restaurants have been introduced in London, and now the folks of that city by dropping a penny caa get a sandwich, 4 second penny gets a cup of tea, and temperance drinks and confectionery can be had for a penny each. It looks as if the next in- vention should be that of a.machine at which a waiter could drop a penny in the slot and get another job. R on. The Russian Government has sentenced to six months’ imprisonment a school teacher and eight schoolgirls_for calling upon Tolstoy and carrying him t bunch of flowers. Doubtless the intention of the punishment is to teach the culprits to love the Czar, but it is 2 very poor sort of kindergarten lesson. pursued by Secretary Hay with respect to the isth- inian canal,”and would at an early date accept the Sec-~ retary’s resignation. It is now announced that the President has reiterated his determination to carry out the policy of McKinley in every respect, and that he will even retain as long as he can the whole of the present Cabinet. Of the various policies for which the administra- | tion stands there are four of paramount importance. | Theseare the adoption of reciprocity treaties for the expansion of our foreign commerce, the development of the American merchant marine by the aid of wisely devised legislation, the construction of the isthmian canal and the laying of a Pacific Ocean cable. With respect to each of these the President stands éxactly where his predecessor stood, and wilk-be true to every pledge the Republican party has made concerning them. The problem of reciprocity is one over which there have arisen some dissensions. There are some manu- facturers who would quite willingly sacrifice our rural industries for the ‘sake of getting additional markets for their manufactured goods, ‘and there are some Eastern States seemingly willing to sacrifice Western interests for the sake of Eastern trade; nor can it be denied that some of the reciprocity treaties now be- fore the Senate are of a kind that would be unjust to many American industries. In so far as the treaties are unjust, -they violate the principle of reciprocity of which the Republican party is champion, and for which McKinley stood from the time he entered of- fice down to the day when he delivered his speech at the Buffalo exposition just before his assassination. In that address President McKinley said we should seek to increasepur foreign commerce “by sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt. our home production.” . In another place he said: “We should take from “our customers such of products as we can use without harm to our indus- tries and labor.” Statements of that kind make it clear that such reciprocity as McKinley favored would not sacrifice any American industry for the sake of promoting the foreign trade of another indus- try, or break down the comprehensive system of pro- tection with which his name as a statesman is firmly associated. Upon the other great policies it is hardly likely there will be any dissensions. It is true that for one reason or another the Republican party has not yet kept its pledge to promote the upbuilding of the American merchant marine, but the opposition is hardly likely te be strong enough to prevent ‘the desired legislation this winter. Our expanding commerce requires a larger merchant fleet than we have at this time upon the seas, or are likely to have so long as our shipping is left to compete unaided by the Government against the heavily subsidized merchant marine of other countries. It is gratifying to know that the full strength of the administration will be used in urging the passage of a shipping bill at the coming session, for hardly any other legislation is more 1mpurtant at this time. The isthmian canal and the Pacific cable have been long waited for. President Roosevelt will be fortu- nate if he can see them begun in earnest during his admlmstratwn The opposition to them has been cunning and i mgenpous but the people are in favor of them, and it is high time for Congress t6 act. The new President, therefore, could not have done any- thing better calculated to add to the public tonfidence in his administration than to declare, as he has, that he will uphold in its entirety the policy of McKinley. e —————— CARLISLE’'S ANARCHIST BILL. UT of the popular demand for legislation pre- O venting the entrance of anarchists to this country there will probably come at the next session of Congress the passage of an immigration restriction bill, which will deal effectively with the subject. It is to be noted that many. of the more in- fluential papers in the East have united in urging the passage of the bill which was prepared in 1894 by Jolin G. Carlisle, then Secretary of the Treasury, and which failed of passage at the time solely because Congress was so taken up with the wrangle over the tariff ‘bill of that year that other subjects were over- looked. A recent summary of the bill states that it does no more than to include among the classes of immi- grants already barred by the exclusion laws all per- sons who may be regarded as enemies of organized society. The bill makes no attempt to define what is meant by an anarchist, or what teachings are in- culcated by the.creed. of anarchy, but provides that evidence that an imntigrant asking admission into the United States has belonged to any foreign anarch- istic society, or has been rated by the police of the country from which he comes as an anarchist sus- pect, is to be considered sufficient to justify his deten- tion and deportation, unless he can clear himself by controverting testimony. To gather the evidence necessary to hold aliens of anarchistic affiliations an additional .immigrant inspection service is created. twelve secret agents being detailed to watch the lists at emigrant passenger ports abroad, and with the aid of the foreign police to identify such known enemies of established government as may seek to make the United States a base for criminal activity. The bill expressly exempts from its operations “political refugees or political offenders other than such anarchists,” and, furthermore, it secures to any person charged with being an anarchist the right of appealing to the courts for a writ of habeas corpus, thus obtaining a fair hearing upon any accusations that may be made against him. The measure there-’ fore amply preserves all the liberty to which a man is rightly entitled, and in no way conflicts with our po- litical ideals. There has long been a demand and a necessity for 2 better’ system of restricting undesirable immigra- tion than that which now obtains. At almost every session of Congress some measure of the kind is brought forward. The Carlisle bill covers an impor- tant phase of the siibject, aty t would seem there can be no objection. to the passage of that measure even if nothing more were undertaken. whole evil. Our country is rapidly being filled up with people from patts of the world where civil lib- erty and law are not understood, where through long ages men have been taught to believe that every evil is the result of bad government, and where parents habitually teach their children that rulers are despots. Some means of limiting that immigration must be provided or we shall always be in danger of political assassinations. Commenting upon the fact that a negro was walk- ing close behind, Czolgosz when he shot McKinley and was first to seize the assassin, the Boston Tran- !

The butchers need not go out of business yet. THE DECAY OF SALISBURY. EPEATED reports and rumors of the ap- R proaching retirement of Lord Salisbury from the British Cabinet may have no official foun- dation, but at/least they serve to show that in the opinion of a considerable part of the British public he ought to retire. He is at present hardly more than a figurehead in the Government, and is probably re- tained there solely because the Cnnservatwes have nobody to put in his place. The London Chronicle recently gave an account of the old statesman’s manner in making a speech on the finances of the empire. It says he spoke as if he were | detached from the Government, and were an impar- tial spectator viewing things which he does'not con- trol, but in which he acquiesces as a part of the de- crees of fate. Virtually his argument amounted to this: “There is a great expenditure, there is what may be called extravagance, but the cause of it is wrapped up in the history of the times. The huge outlay to-day is due to the economy of former years. A love of national thrift reduced the country to a state of disarmament, and in this unprotected condi- tion it was compelled to spend money with bound- less liberality. But there is another cause, more im- mediate and yet closely interwoven with the move- ment of history. It is a historical law that political life is subject to perils and accidents. One of these was the invasion of the King's territory by the Boers, and, as always happens when these unforeseen things occur, the outbreak of war caused great expense. There are great tides, too, in history which we can- not govern. We are in the full sweep of such a tide, and this great outlay is largely due to it; but there is danger in such an expenditure, and the wise states- man will watch it, and, where he can, curb it.” Salisbury is said to have spoken all that in the style of a man communing with himself rather than ad- dressing an audience, and as if he were secking to unravel some tangled skein of events with which he had nothing to do further than 'to study it for the gratification of an intellectual curiosity. He looked, says the writer, as if “he might have been a philoso- pher summing up the meaning of an epoch, but he did not look like a statesman whose business it is to withstand fate.” It'is a curious condition of British politics that re- quires this old man to_remain_in office. The empire is suffering from a dearth of statesmanship. = The Liberals are- admittedly and hopelessly without a leader, and the retirement of Salisbury would leave the Conservatives hardly any better off. Joseph Chamberlain, despite his admitted cleverness, has not the confidence of any considerable following. His career has been too iull of changes for the people to trust him much. Balfour has never fulfilled the promise of his youth and falls far short of the force required of a Prime Minister. Rosebery is too given to criticizing things ever to be a real leader. So neither party has any man to offer for the place. Salisbury, therefore, will probably be retained as long as he lives. Even in decay he is better than any one else for the position. . German papers declare that the ceremony arranged by the Kaiser for the reception of the Chinese apol- ogy from Prince Chun was modeled upon the cere- monies of a soldier’s funeral, everything being serious and funereal until the apology was made, and then came a brisk recurrence to liveliness. For'ng to devise some means of bringing the cases of the desert of Sahara into such com- wunication Wth the rest of the world as to admit of their cultivation, Camel trains are too slow and un- certain for modern uses, and for one reason and an- other railways are impracticable. At last a suitable means of transportation has apparently been found. It is-the automobile. It is stdted that experiments made by the French Government in many parts of Algeria have proven the automobile to be well adapted for use in desert countries. Additional tests are now being made for the purpose of determining how far it can be made reliable for regular lines of transportation across the great desert. It is stated that the tests thus far made have demonstrated that the machine can travel over the sands at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour. Such speed will enable the passage from one oasis to another to be niade with comparative ease, and th@terrors of the desert will vanish. The new vehicle, therefore, offers another ‘means of carrying civilization intp Africa. Automobile trips across the hitherto pathless desert may become in the near future one of the things which every tourist will have to undertake as a part of this Old World travel. TO REDEEM SAHARA.

AN ANARCHIST-D. P., City. Proper- ly, an anarchist is one who advocates an- | archy or the absence of government as a political ideal, one who is an adherent of the theory of Prudhon. In a popular sense an.anarchist is one who by violence seeks to overthrow all constituted forms of society and of government, all law and order and all rights of property, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed. The term is also applied to any person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law or order. In “A Dynamiter,” Robert Louis Stev- enson calls an anarchist “an anarch,” as appears from the following extract from that work: “A torpedo!”” cried Zero, brightening: do on the Thames! Superb, dear fellow; I recognize in you the marks of an accom- plished anarch,” Anarchy is the absence of government, a state of society in which there is no supreme power and in which. the several functions of the state are performed bad- ly or not at all; in fact a social and po- litical confusion. It is a theory which regards “‘the union of order with the ab- sence of all direct government by man as the political ideal.” The most noted ex- ponent of this theory was Pierre Joseph Prudhon, who died in 1865, and whose views have been, with some changes, one being the advocacy of assassination, adopted by many agitators. Prudhon declared that “the true form of the state is anarchy,” meaning by that, “not positive disorder, but the absence of any supreme ruler, whether king or convention.” The modern anarchist construes these words of Prud- hon_to mean, “‘remove, by any means, the head of an established government.” —_——— CALL HIM “VILLAIN.” Philadelpbla Record. The name of the young anarchist who shot President McKinley last Friday has proven a thorn in the flesh. Although everybody is talking about him, and his body’s mouth, few attempts have been made to give it a correct pronunclation. The correct pronunciation, according to an interpreter connected with the Bureau of Immigration, is, as near as the English language can give it, “‘Cholgosh.” The word is derived from a Polish verb, and, as is usual in Polish names, has a mean- ing. The verb means to creep or to crawl. Used as a noun, it means a crawling thing, such as a serpent. The name cer- . ‘ainlv seems to fit. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND FAMILY.
