It is probable that, aiter all men prefer independence to that reliance on the | good will 2nd benevolence of another which means jependence in some form.

Another scheme that has been often tried is the co-operation colony. It is not generally known that such a colony of white people was formed and planted | in Hawaii to demonstrate that white labor could work in the cane fields and make for itself a foothold in the tropics by an industry for which it had been thought unfit Fourteen colonists were settled on the Ewa planta- tion, on the very best of cane land. They made $40 a2 month, with free house rent, water, garden, schools. a train to carry the children to school, and a physician free of cost. Yet only five of the number remained until the first crop of cane matured. Then they all left but two, and these, when the second crop of cane matured, refused to either strip, cut or load the cane, and Japanese labor had to be called in to save the crop. They had no complaint to make about the land or any of the conditions. Five of them were arried men. The first man t6 quit left after one | month in the colony because his wife disiiked the | quiet Jife. The next quit because his wife died. The third withdrew because he quarreled with a brother colonist. The fourth was ill, and then when the cane was ready to cut five of the single men deserted n a body, strrendering the profit they had in the | season’s work. Of the five left two were aged, one | middle-aged, and two were boys. When the second | crop was milled they took their share of the profits and quit. None secmed lacking in industry, but they chafed under the dependence of co-operation and disliked the | work and the climate. It is belicved that this ends | not only white colony experiments in the islands, but also the hope of using white labor on the sugar ‘ plantations, and brings in sight a crisis in the labor | situation of Hawaii. Now. what is one to conclude from the lesson of | Dolgeville and Ewa? Is it fair to conclude in both | cases that artificial were substituted for natural condi- tions, and failed? Is it fair to conclude that men pre- fer 10 work out their own salvation, earn and keep their own wages and profits, and to squander or in- vest them as they please, rather than co-operate with others, or become the beneficiaries of the benevolent plans and oversight of an employer? fuel | He then said | sponsibility there was there was mine, and I thought, THE SAN FRANCISCO OCALL; TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1901. TO-DAY'S DECISION. . E have fairly, frankly and dispassionately dealt with the issues involved in to- day’s election. - We have desired to save the city from the danger and disas- ter of a class government, and were convinced %that this must be done by plumping votes for the more eligible of the regular candidates for the office of Mayor. Mr. Wells, early in the campaign, put himself off the eligible list in the esti- mation of all'men who have the city’s interest most at heart. From a bad start he made a worse run every day,and as the close of the campaign came in sight it was apparent that only by such a miracle as does not happen in politics could he hope to win. He and the class candidate represent equally undesirable elements that should not get influence in the municipal government. The city was between them as between two fires, and the only way out was obviously in the election of Mr. Tobin. It is evident now that this way will be taken, and the city, escaping from danger, will pass on through safety to that prosperity which is always related to good and upright government. The issue has not been partisan. No party principle is at stake and no party gains or loses in the larger and legitimate political field by the result. City government is a business entirely. It can gain nothing by mixing national politics with it. Let the independent voters and the high principled Republicans in this | city look at Greater New York. There the Republicans, independent Democrats and | various citizens’ leagues are all combined in supporting Seth Low for Mayor, not be- cause Seth Low is a2 Republican, but’ because his candidacy promises to redeem the metropolis of the continent from misrule and government so bad that it is a stench. No Democrat who supports Low sacrifices his party convictions. Thousands have rallied. to | him in opposition to the Tammany ticket of their own party. New. York is Democratic city, and Low’s election will leave it unmoved in its standing as such. But the city has suffered in every way by making national politics a controlling force in the election of its government. Intelligent Democrats see this, just as intelligent Republicans here see |- the same thing. Mr. Wells has persistently appealed to Republicans, as if party. interests were at stake in his election. They are really at stake in his defeat and will be advanced and strengthened by that result. Mr. Tobin, who will be elected, takes this sane and sensible view of the issue when he says: “I love my native city, and it would be, a sufficient reward for all my labors in her behalf, however humble or weak, if I could feel that they contributed in any degree to the welfare of her citizens or her permanent improvement. I would enter upon the office not as a partisan, but as a servant of the whole people, determined to do my duty to the whole people, as God gives me light to see it.” | in which to seek and accept the responsibilities of mnunicipal government. It rises into ! the higher atmosphere and cuts all connection with party politics. If we get one strong That is the proper spirit and clean city administration moved by that spirit, the people will wonder that party politics was ever appealed to in a city election. The election of Mr. Tobin will make it forever impossible to threaten the city with class rule on one side or boss rule on the other. Schmitz and Wells the people would have no choice. We count If the contest were between it fortunate for San Francisco that the nomination of Mr. Tobin was made, however unwillingly by some of the elements that wanted a partisan on that side, since it has furnished the opportunity to repudiate class and boss, and send them to associate in the limbo of the rejected and | repudiated. It is to be hoped that New York will be equally wise and in to-day’s election will | do the same for that long suffering city, so that the great cities of the two coasts can set an example for the relief of all the misruled municipalities that lie between. BULLER AS A HERO. NE of the salient traits of British character O was shown in the treatment or mistreatment of Lord Roberts by the crowd at the cere- monies attending the reception given the Duke of York on his return to London. The man who but a short time ago was the popular idol of his country was roundly hissed and hooted as he rode along in the royal procession. Nor was there any doubt in the minds of the observers as to the cause of the change in public sentiment. Roberts was hogted be- cause the British masses have become persuaded that he has been unjust to Buller It is doubtful if any other race in the world would ke a general of Buller’s type. He has a bulldog’s ourage, but hardly more than a bulldog’s sense. His career in command in South Africa was one long list of blunders and disasters. In battle aiter battle he was defeated, and up to the time Roberts arrived Buller had accomplished nothing for the relief of Ladysmith or Mafeking. About the only thing in ! the man to be admired was his hearty, bluff way of taking defeat and standing up against it without whining. The courage of the man and his willingness to bear all the blame of whatever happened to the army under his command was shown in the dispatch to Sir | George White in which he suggested to that officer that it might be advisable to surrender Ladysmith. It was Buller's frank announcement that he had written such a dispatch that led to his retirement from the army, and yet the incident appears to be decidedly to his credit Buller's statement of the matter is that after his failure to relieve Ladysmith by his first advance, he found it necessary to send a message to Sir George White to the effect that he could not make another | attempt for a month, and that even then relief would have to come by slow fighting and not by rushing. “I was in command; whatever re- ‘Ought I not to give him some help, some lead, and something which, if it came to the last absolute mo- ment, would have enabled him to say, ‘ “Well, after all, T have Sir Redvers Buller's, as my commander, opinion in favor of this?”’ Therefore I put into the middle of a telegram 2 sentence in which I suggested, if it would be necessary to abandon, to surrender, the garrison, what he should do when he surrendered, and how he should do it. T put that in simply because, if he ever had to give up, it might be some sort of cover to a man who, I thought, was in much greater difficulty than I was myself.” This willingness on the part of Buller to stand by a brother officer who was in greater difficulties than himself shows a trait of character that helps us to understand why the British public persists in liking him despite all his blunders and the disasters that re- sulted from them. It is very seldom that soldiers have been intrusted to the command of a less com- | petent general, or that more serious defeats have be- | fallen brave men by reason of bad generalship. All of that is well known to the British masses, but they like the old general because he is a brave fellow, and stande by hie friends. He is not much of a hero, but it must be confessed that there have been worse, —_— Since the Boers have shown no intention of ac- cepting the terms offered by Kitchener's latest proclamation it is about time for him to issue another and invite them to do something else. There must be some way of pleasing them. W. J. Bryan has been making campaign speeches for the Democrats in Towa, but it is said the candi- date of the party for Governor objects to his inter- { ference and wishes he would go way back and sit down.. Tammany orators are actually appealing to the people of New York for support on the ground that they have had four years of prosperity under Tam- many administration. When nothing clse does, gall goes. SENATOR TILLMAN'S DEFENSE, ENATOR TILLMAN has been s6 often cited S as the outspoken advocate of lynch law that a Boston man recently wrote to him and inclosed a sermon against lynching, preached by the Rev. Quincy Ewing of Mississippi and published in the Boston Herald. In his letter the writer said: “In it you will find the strongest message about lynching in the State of Mississippi I ever read, and the com- ment of the Herald was so strong I thought you, as a public servant, ought to see it for the good of the negro if not for your own.” In reply Senator Tillman sets forth his defense in these words: “I have read the sermon of Mr. Ewing and the editorial of the Herald. 1 am not responsible because the Associated Press sent out garbled and distorted reports of my lecture at Marinette, Wis., creating the impression that I was an advocate of lynch law. I have said more than once, and expect to stand by it, that lynching for rape is justifiable. So far as other lynchings are concerned, no public man in the South has such a record as I have. Dur- ing my term as Governor I made the most strenuous efforts to prevent lynching in this State, and appealed to the race pride and sense of justice of my fellow citizens to give the negroes a fair trial and punish- ment according to law. In the constitutional conven- tion of '9s I introduced and had incorporated a pro- vision giving the relatives or legatees of any person lynched exemplary damages against the county in which it occurred in the sum of $2000; also a pro- vision removing from office any Sheriff who allowed a prisoner to be lynched while in his custody. But I see the rising storm in increase of crime among ne- groes, especially the crime against white women, and it appears inevitable that drastic measures will have to be resorted to in the near future or there will be a race conflict causing rivers of blood to flow.” Since Senator Tillman has been so extensively criti- cized, it is but right that his defense should be given a fair hearing. The record which he made for him- self in trying to prevent lynching does him credit, but it will be noted that the policy he advocates is an impossible one. He would sanction lynching for one crime but forbid it in all other instances. That is to say, he is willing to permit a violation of the law at some times, but not at others. If, however, violations of law are to be permitted at all, it is not easy to draw the line and say where they shall stop. Tillman would draw the line in one place, other men would draw it somewhere clse, and they have as much right to fix the line as has the Senator. When a man ad- vocates lynch law at all he opens the door to repeated violences. There is but one way to uphold the law, and that is by refusing to sanction a violation of it upon any ground or for any reason. The closing sentence of the Senator’s letter shows the alarmist nature of his mind. His cry that drastic measures will be necessary in dealing with the rising storm of crime among negroes has no justification in the situation of the South. Statistics compiled by people who had no thought of politics or of social supremacy, but who were concerned solely in gath- ering figures for official reports, show that the negro in the South is improving in his capacity as a worker, as a saver of money and as a farmer. The whole South is prospering. There is, in fact, every reason to believe that were it not for the agitators and pro- fessional alarmists, who for personal advantage keep the minds of blacks and whites alike alarmed, the race question would settle itself in the advancing prosper- ity and industrial and educational uplifting of both races. ——— It has been decided by the authotities that while Earl Russell is a bigamist under British law, he is not a bigamist under our law, for in this country the Nevada divorce is valid. Consequently the Earl can- not only come into the country without let or hindrance, but he has a right to expect to be received as a man in good social standing and be welcome everywhere, from the club to the family drawing- room.

The other afternoon he had conducted a party round the church and despite the casual dropping of more than one “gentle *Int” it appeared as if the sexton was to 80 unrewarded.
