T\\’estem railways in the hands of a combined management, in which their stocks are merged in a common issue, is a2 momentous action, the effect of which will be watched with interest by the whole copntry. There is no doubt that such an operating system wiil increase dividends by its superior economy. If it seek such increase, however, by rais- ing rates it will provoke a storm of legislation com- pared with which all of the granger and anti%ailroad ation of the past will seem to have been pro- i friendly. Ever since 1860 we have had in a smaller field just what has now taken possession of a large field. Prior to that time roads leading in the same direction were not what are now called “trunk lines.” They belonged to entirely separate and often antagonistic corporations. They had no common time schedule, nor interchangeable checks and tickets. The rail travel itself was a great advance in speed and com- fort upon the Concord coach, but its delays, the in- convenience of changing trains, rechecking baggage and taking fresh tickets would not now be endured by the traveling public. The first consolidation of link lines into a trunk system occurred on the Chicago and Northwestern, and its success stimulated rapid imitation, so that when the first overland roads were built it was the obvious intention of Congress that they should be trunked and under one management. When thege consolidations occurred freights and fares became clieaper, because the many operating staffs were consolidated into one, and the economy of operation was bestowed upon the public. The recent grand combination is but the extension of the old principle of consolidation, and that its su- perior economy will at once appear we know by what has taken place in California since the prac- tical combination into ome trunk line of the Southern Pacific - and Union Pacific roads. If the combine is contented to get its - profit out of this economy, and, as it increases, to divide it with the patrons of the road by cheaper rates, the popular objection to such an aggregation will be ap- as it was in the case of the old consolidation of links into trunks. If the opposite result, the op- position may be soon inflamed into measures of re- slstance that will try the strength of the combined The decision of the Supreme Court affirm- ing the constitutionality of the interstate commerce law confers wide and generous powers upon Con- gress, and their exercise in restraint of such a com- bination as this will be easier than it has proved when brought to bear upon a large number of com- peting roads. In addition to the power of Congress that of the States remains unimpaired over all State commerce. If properly and judicially exercised this power of the States through which the combined lines pass is of immense force, and that it will be invoked let no man doubt. The men who have made this combination say that they are business men, engaged in railroading and not in politics. If they consider wisely and well the business aspect of their responsibility and recognize their community of interest with the people they wiil not need to go into politics. Otherwise they will find it impo‘ssible to keep out. pease; forces Now that nearly every State in the Union has in some sort of fashion adopted a State flower, 2 move- ment has been started by some Eastern florists to get the National Government to adopt a Union flower and the carnation has been suggested as a géod one. If Omaha would only be kind enough to offer the freedom of the city to Pat Crowe, with an ovation and a promise to forgive and forget, she might put an end to his letter-writing and confer a benefit on the ¢ountry. HE placing of the operation of the leading | | PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT. ° T is not pleasant to read that the institution of I civil government in the Philippines was prema- ture, and to have the opinion of army and navy officers that military rule and garrison government must be again resorted to there and-be maintained for many years to come. It may be 'possible that we have forgotten that those people regard themselves as conquered by our superior military power, and that they have just the same feeling about it that is common to all races under the same circumstances. If they are in this mood it is to be expected that they will use any authority conferred upon: them to reorganize resistance, and it is clearly the opinion of our military officers that they have been doing this cver since civil government was instituted® among them. To hold such a vast number of people indefi- nitely under the rille of the army is to be avoided if possible. It is more costly than civil government and less satisfactory to our own people. It less opportunity for the incidents of conquest to be forgotten and practically suspends all training for civil government. It may prove to have been a mistake to treat them as if they were of our own blood and therefore ready to appreciate offered education, limited seli- government and a prospect of larger freedom. They have known but little of these in the 'past, under Spanish rule, and have been made treacherous by treachery. The late convention of the Federal party held in Manila was an encouraging sign. Maybe that atten- tion to ore of its recommendations would have a pacifying effect. It asked for an issue of $100,000,000 in bonds to repair the waste of war and help restore the destroyed substance of the people. When we read of the burning of all the houses in a town by our troops we recognize it as a hard military neces- sity. But there is another side to it which will have to be considered in all plans for the placating of the people. The burning of three hundred houses by a punitive expedition to admonish the people against harboring the opponents of our arms means the de- struction of the property and the shelter of that many families. The burning of rice fields is adopted to cut off a military resource in the form of food, but it means famine for non-combatants. Perhaps an hon- est inquiry into the material condition of the people, to develop the extent to which their power to support and feed themselves has been abridged by the neces- sities of our conquest, would be in the line of infor- mation upon which our Government could act with a soothing effect. Heretofore American visitors have perhaps too much considered the natural resources of the islands in the light of their profit-producing capacity for our benefit and too little the economic condition of the people we have conquered. There are two ways of overcoming resistance. One is by the diplomacy and the immediate benefits of civil government, and the other is by the avenging military arm. The experience of mankind is that the latter makes the beneficial use of the former more difficult, and it must be continued to the complete exhaustion of physical opposition by the entire destruction of.all who are capable of of- fering it. It will be better to turn public opinion in this country away from the mere gloating over the natural riches of the islands to the more humane task of healing the wounds made by war and the uplifting of the people into forgetfulness of our necessary harshness in the greater abundance of our kindness. No race has ever sincerely submitted to conquest in the generation that felt the hard hoof of the con- queror. To greatly prolong military government in the Philippines will probably mean the rearing of generation after generation under the exact condi- tions of conquest, by that means postponing indefi- nitely the pacification of the country. We said long ago that the real crux of the question would appear when we attempted civil reorganization of the isl- ands, and it is upon us. The task calls for the for- bearance, the patience and the humanity of our peo- ple. Administrations cannot do it all. Our policy, wise or otherwise, must come up from an informed and enlightened public opinion. No administration took the Philippines. That was the act of the people, and an administration merely registered their will. It could not do otherwise. To take was easy. It was merely a question of physical force. To hold wisely, govern humanely and make friends of twelve millions of conquered people is not a physical feat. It calls for moral courage, for self-examination, for the high- est and best conception of the characteristics of those people that they deserve. Our own administration needs the spread abroad of these considerations among us, and it needs the obvious crudescence of the public opinion which should result. Despite the failure of the Pan-American Exposi-' tion at Buffalo and tlie extensive preparations making to hold one at St. Louis, Boston is talking of raising $10,000,000 for exposition purposes, and it would seem that not even philosophers can profit by the experience of others. HUNTING DOWN THE BOERS. ENERAL TAN HAMILTON, who left Lon- G don a few days ago to act as chief of staff to Lord Kitchener, is said to have taken Avith him a plan prepared in’ London for a more vigorous campaign, with a view to ending the war before the time comes for the coronation of the King. The plan includes a scheme for enlisting the loyalists of the colony as a mass, the dispatch of additional cavalry from Great. Britain, and, in short, exerting the full force of the Cape and the empire in the effort to hunt down the Boers and terminate the struggle. The details of the new plan to be submitted to Kitchener by General Hamilton have of course not been given out, but in a recent speech at Dover Mr. Wyndham, M. P., gave an account of the process of hunting down the Boers, which is now in practice, and it is probable the new programme will differ from the old only in being a little more drastic in nature. “~Wyndham is quoted by the® Westmin- ster Gazette as saying: “The only plan was'to hunt down each commando by mobile column as a sleuth hound tracked and hunted down its prey, or shut off the enemy in other regions by groups of blockhouses from recruiting in richer lands. The Government held that Lord Kitchener could, and they could not, prescribe the particular mode of operation best suited to different districts or the subordinate general best qualified for the work. * * * More columns, more men and more horses would besent out as they were wanted, and, in fact, were being sent out to South Africa. Irksome as the delay was, the hunt went on, and it would not be helped by either crack- ing whips or shouting at the hounds like cockney sportsmen. Almost each day meant a few Boers killed and a few more captured, or a gredter number of horses, and the scent grew hotter, as was shown gives | ; by the discarded baggage of sick men and by the sick horses which the enemy left behind in his flight.” To such a hunt Mr. Wyndham said “there can be only one end.” It would seem that he must be right. According to recent British estimates there are not more than 11,000 Boers left in the fighting column. They are being gradually worn down by overwhelm- ing numbers, and it must be admitted that the num- bers are being urged forward with tireless energy by Lord Kitchener. He has spared neither men nor horses in his pursuit of the foe, and nad not the Boer commanders been generals of high capacity as well as stanch patriots they would long since have been surrounded and captured. It is announced that"General Joe Wheeler is to leave the South and make his home in Philadelphia, and now if the citizens would organize a political re- form cavalry brigade and give him command of it Philadelphia might be redeemed from the gang that { rules her. E e — SALISBURY'S SPEECH. OR many a year past the British public, and to some extent the civilized-world, has carefully noted the speeches made at the annual banquet | given by the Lord Mayor of London to the Ministers of the crown. It has been the custom of the Minis- ters, and particularly of the Premier, to make use of the occasion to announce to the country the policy they intend to pursue and for which they wish popu- lar support. These addresses, therefore, have be- come.far more important than the perfunctory ad- dress of the sovereign from the throne upon the opening of Parliament, and they are always awaited with a good deal of interest. At the recent Lord Mayor’s banquet public expec- | tation was disappointed. Lord Salisbury spoke, in- deed, at scme length, but it was noted that he spoke without vigor either in manner or in language. Ac- cording to the reports that come to us his appearance betokened a man whose career is virtually finished and who lags superfluous on the political stage. Weak as he is, however, he is none the less Prime Minister of the British empire, the responsible head of the administration, and the one man who can_speak authoritatively for the Government. He renewed his oft-repeated declaration that Great Britain will see the war in South Africa fought to a finish by the complete conquest of the Boers, no matter what the cost. He pointed out that guerrilla warfare is al- ways long and tedious, but did not undertake to say when the struggle in South Africa would be ended. “We cannot,” he said, “tell you publicly all that is going on. We should be gravely neglecting our duty if we did. All T can say is, and I am speaking the judgment of those who have the best opportunity for determining what is really going on, that we are making month by month and week by week sure, steady and substantial progress.” He asserted that the prolongation of the war has been due in nowise to the lukewarmness or neglect of the Government, and insisted that the Ministers have given to the gen- erals in the field every reinforcement they asked for. Continuing his speech the old statesman deplored the frequent manifestations of pessimism on the part of his countrymen. He could not say when the war would close nor promise a reduction of taxation, but oy way of cheering his countrymen he reminded them of the benefits obtained through what is known as the concert of Europe. “In considering,” he said, “the embarrassment and difficulties in which it may be thought our country is standing, it is a matter for congratulation that the peace of the world has been on the whole so little disturbed, and that we have found a kindly feeling and such a correct attitude on the part of all the powers with whom we have been in alliance. I venture to say that fiity years ago that would not have been the case.” That claim of peace maintained through the con- cert of Evrope was the one word of cheer the Pre- mier gave the British public. For the rest he sought to rally the people to his support by declaring that the interests as well as the prestige of the empire depend upon a successful conclusion of the war. Of the financial burdens laid upon the taxpayers, of the waste of war and the increase of the national debt he said nothing. It is therefore not strange that Lord Rosebery in speaking at Edinburgh on Thursday evening should have said: “I would like to see an experiment for a year of a Government formed en- tirely of business men, such, for example, as Mr. Car- negie and Sir Thomas Lipton, instead of politicians, I ask you: Are we getting our money’s warth for the money spent?” O a———e If Pierpont Morgan and J. J. Hill do not look out they will form so many combinations of railways and steamship lines that after a while there will not be competition enough to make life interesting to them. B showers in ncarly all parts of the State Cali- fornia is given promise of an abundant pros- perity to follow. The experience of the dry seasons of a few years ago is still so fresh in the minds of the people that they are not free from fear of a repe- tition of the disaster. Warm and dry weather in the fall would unquestionably have a depressing effect in some quarters, but all’ fear of that is now dispelled, for there re ample reasons to justify the expectation that from this time on we shall have abundant rains to provide for the crops of the coming year. In mote ways than one the beginning of the season of general rains is felt beneficially throughout the State. The showers bring a blessing to the cities as well as to the fields. They clear the air and flush the sewers. They give an enlivening tonic to the atmos- phere and a new vigor to all who breathe. The freshening effect will be felt everywhere. Men and women will move forward to the Thanksgiving sea- son with brighter faces and happier hearts. There will be an increased activity in trade in cities, towns and villages. A fuller confidence will be felt by the farmers in their fields, orchards and vineyards, and, in short, everybody will be better for the coming of the health-giving and wealth-giving showers, A good and prosperous season for the fruit men of the State in the coming year will advance California by something more than ordinary progression. For a series of years many of them have worked against adverse luck. Years of drought were followéd by cold springs, whose frosts in many sections of the State caused immense damage to the young fruit and in some cases well nigh ruined the growers. .This season there is a promise of better things. 'We do | not have frequent droughts in California, nor a long succession of cold springs. The prospects are there- fore excellent for all kinds of rural industry. Those prospects have been brightened by the coming of rains this early over such widespread portions of the State. In the coming of the showers, therefore, we may well feel something of a general joy. They are a part of our Thanksgiving. THE RAINY SEASON.

GOSSIP FROM DON WORLD OF LETTERS Of the trade transacted during the last month by far the greater portion has con- sisted of 6-shilling novels. I saw it mentioned in one daily paper that as many as ninety new novels had been issued in one day. That was a sen- sational figure and, though the issue has not reached quite so many. still the out- put has been very large, and some sixty new volumes have appeared in the fiction line during the month of October. A fair percentage of these have been by authors of repute. Many of them, there- fore, commanded a ready sale. It looks as if Rudyard Kipling’s “Kim” bad sold most freely, nearly the whole cf the first edition of 30,000 copies being dis- posed of, while its popularity has caused an increased demand for the other works of this author. “The Benefactress,” by the author of “Elzabeth and Her German Garden,” has been very much in request. as also have “The Right of Way,” by Gilbert Parker; the “New Canterbury Tales,” by Maurica Hewlett; “The Purple Cloud,” by M. P Shiel; “The Flower and Thorn,” by Miss Beatrice Whitney, and “The Giants’ Gate,” by Max Pemberton. “The Eternal City,” “The Herb of Grace,” “The History of Sir Richard Cai- mady” and “The Luck of the Vails” have also continued in steady request. “Light Freights” by W. W& Jacobs, proved no exception to the customary success of that author’s humorous pro- ductions, as it has been in constant de- mand. Prize gift books are pouring In from various publishing houses and works from the pens of those prolifig writers for youthful minds such as G. A. Henty, G. Manville Fenn, Dr. Gordon Stables and others have already begun to be sought after. It is sald that Graham Fhlfour's “Lifs of Robert Louis Stevenson™ is already in its seventh thousand. In this connection it is perhaps worthy of note that the Christmas number of the Pall Mall Maga- zine will contain a character sketch of Stevenson from the pen of W. E. Henley, who perhaps knew him better and under- stood him better than any of his contem- poraries. Now that the woman publisher has come on the scene, there is a possibility that the book trade may have to be dis- cussed before long from the woman's point of view. Women booksellers, of course, have long existed in London, but mostly as dealers in second hand books. There are two well known women book- sellers in Kensington, however, who open- ed a regular shop as an experiment about eighteen months ago, and who have made a great success of it. Bookselling, they declare, is a delightful business for a weman, and one in which she has every oportunity of excelling. Miss Florence White, the new publisher, begins appropriately with the home Series which she edited for Grant Richards and which she has taken over from him. Her imprint may also be seen on a new hand- beok on smallpox. The death of that great Chinaman LI Hvung Chang gives peint to a book which Mr. Murray is just about to publish. It is a series of aneecdotes of ‘John China- man,” illustrating his character and cus- tcms, and is derived from the author own personal experiences in China. He 1s E. H. Parwer, who I8 now professor of Chinese at Owens Coillege, Manchester, and for years was in the British consular service in China. He has both a knowi- edge of the people and an appreciation of them. He thinks with Sir Robert Hart that any attempt to crush the. Chinese spirit is a mistake which will have to be pald for in the future. ————— Californians in New York.
