MINORITY ON ANARCHY. OLLOWING the assassination of President c there was a general demand for 1 legislation to punish and suppress an- his country. In several of our States capi- s life imprisonment; no higher pen- If a President is murdered in alth his assassin can suffer only , a punishment recognized by the sense as inadequate. ” President was murdered not because he was ley, a citizen of Ohio, but becayse ent of the United States. In the dis- of ana: he became qualified for as- on by being President of the republic. Mur- der must, therefore, be counted among the risks of the fi i the land. F ed. torted view sassi As a simple citizen he has guards of, and no more, and incurs all the and no more than any other citizen. Ele- ed to the Presidency he enters the atmosphere of a pe peril, to which no other is cubjected and which no other need dread. To murder him is there- fore a peculiar, special and heinous offense against the United States. He is a victim because he repre- sents Federal sovereignty. These things impressed the national mind when the crime was fresh and par- ties did not divide upon them. The Democrat was stent for a law in line with these principles as the Republica There is therefore scmething sinister and unpleas- the position taken by the minority in Con- gress. It has made a party question out of a matter which concerns all the people, and is against legisla- tion which all demanded five months ago. The various bills to effect that demand are before the Judiciary Committee of the House, and its mi- nority has reported through Mr. Lehman of Texas. In this report the Texan says: “I deny the proposi- tion that one honest and law-abiding man’s life is any more sacred than that of another. Any officer of our Government is but the servant.of the people, and ‘the servant canmot be greater than his lord. The holding or possession of office does not of itself render any man impeccable or immune from human frailties 2nd imperfections. Public men among us can do wrong. There is no such thing as royalty or titled nobility or hereditary prerogative in the United tates. With us there are no artificial distinctions, and one good man is as good as another, and as much sanctity surrounds the life of one as it do, that of another. The murder of the humblest citiz’xx in our land is just as heinous, just as felonious, ~ that of the greatest or most distinguish;d, Murdes is murder, upon whomsoever inflicted, and a human life is 2 human life by whomsoever enjoyed. The life of the highest officer in the country or of any Embassador of a foreign Government is no more precious in the sight of God and republican man than is that of the humblest and most insignificant resi- dent of our great republic.” No one has set up the impeccability of Presidents, no one has assumed them to be perfect and without frailty. For a President sinless and virgin as Mel- chizedek we must wait until we get one from Texas. At present no one is discussing that. The country wants a Federal statute of murder which will punish the assassin of a President anywhere in the Union. Ii the President be assassinated in Michigan, Colo- rado or other State where there is no death penalty, the Federal courts under such a statute will take jurisdiction of the murderer and rid the earth of him. To this it is answered that there is no death penzlty in Italy and the assassin of Humbert, the King, was condemned to imprisonment for life, as if he had slain Humbert the peasant. That is true, but there is a difference between the Italian prisons and an American _penitentiary. The slayer of Humbert survived the rigors of his punishment less than six months and succumbed. In Belgium there is no death penalty. Murderers go to the galleys for life, and five years is the extreme of their endurance. They perish under the punishment. How widely different this from life in an American prison, with all its opportunities for escape, with its freedom of communication, and with anarchists outside cele- brating the assassin as a hero and inflating his bloody fancies to invest him with the heroic quality which those wretches ascribe to themselves. There be men who wished the Democratic party better than Mr. Lehman makes it. The theory and verbiage of his report do not differ very widely from the shibboleth of anarchy and are very close indeed to Emma Goldman’s, method. The country will take it sadly that one of the great parties is misted s0 basely, but as long as it takes its leadership, philos- ophy and thought exclusively from a section of the country where partisan opposition is ngt permitted, but is punished as a public offense, it must suffer the consequences, ' as 'S THE RAILROAD MERGER. T is a fortunate thing for the country that the I President has ordered the Department of Justice to proceed against the Northern Securities Com- pany to test the legality of the merger of parallel and competing roads in that combination. The State of Minnesota brought an action against the merger, which was argued last month in the Su- preme Court in Washington. There are grave legal doubts of the merit of Minnesota’s contention. The action was brought under the statutes of that State, and the Supreme Court was asked to apply that local law to lines outside the State and to an incorpora- tion effected under the statutes of New Jersey. It may be very reasonably held that this is a demand that the law of a State be judicially declared the law of the land, contravening the provision of the Fed- eral constitution that acts of Congress and ‘treaties made shall be the supreme law of the land. There cannot be two systems of supreme law, one originating in the Federal Government and the other in the States. The merged lines are located in many States. They are common carriers engaged in inter- state commerce, and obviously in relation thereto not subject to any State law. The issue exhibits in an interesting way the growth of corporation law in this country. When the right of the States to regulate, each within its own jurisdiction, the freights and fares of railroads was affirmed it was seen that no State had jurisdiction beyond its own borders, and that no number of States in combination could regu- late rates on interstate commerce. So local rates within a State were long subject to regulation before a way was found to regulate interstate charges. The way had been pointed out in a decision of the United States Supreme Court, written by Justice Field, *several years before the interstate commerce law was passed. . A statute of Missouri declared that all persons en- gaged in selling articles of commerce produced out- side that State should be considered peddlers, and proceeded to fix a stiff prohibitory license on ped- dlers. The Missouri Supreme Court declared this statute to be constitutional, and the case was taken on a writ of error to the Supreme Court ‘of - the United States. Justice Field said: “The license tax exacted by the State of Missouri from dealers in goods that are not the product or manufacture of the State before they can be sold from place to place within the State must be regarded as a tax upon the goods them- selves. The question presented is whether legisla- tion thus discriminating against the products of other States in the conditions of their sale by a certain class of dealers is valid under the constitution of the United States. Commerce is a term of the largest import; it comprehends intercourse for the purposes of trade in all its forms, including the transportation, purchase, sale and exchange of commodities between the citizens of one country and the citizens and sub- jects of other countries and between the citizens of different States. The power to regulate it embraces all the instruments by which such commerce may be conducted. So far as some of these instruments are concerned, and some subjects which are local in their operation, it has been held that the States may provide regulations urtil Congress acts in relation to them. But where the subject to which that power applies is national in its character, or of such a nature as to admit of uniformity of regulation, the power is exclusive of all State authority.” In this opinion of Justice Field originated the interstate commerce law, one of the most useful, uni- form and necessary expansions of the law of cor- porations. It will be seen that it also lights the path of liti- gation in this merger case. If the subject be capable of uniform regulation, as it is obviously national in its character, being interstate, the law of New Jersey, under which the Northern Seccurities Company is incorporated, cannot say “thou shalt,” nor can the law of Minnesota say “thou shalt not,” for the law of neither can be the supreme law' of the land, and the power to be invoked in the premises is exclusive of both and national in its character. The defense of New Jersey against Minnesota is obviously valid. Minnesota cannot go cutside her jurisdiction to nul- lily a law of New Jersey. If the court follow the doctrine of Justice Field's decision Minnésota will lose her case, but the right of New Jersey to protect her corporate creature outside her own jurisdiction will not be -affirmed. 4 It remains to be‘secn whether the court will find existing statutes, or prior judicial decisions, sufficient to invalidate the New Jersey incorporation, but it is highly probable that resort to the principles of the interstate commeérce act will be found sufficient for that purpose. In the present aspect of the case it would appear that the able attorneys of the Northern Securities Company overlooked the powers of the Federal Government that may be invoked in the premises. The President has, with his usual decision, gone at the vitals of the question. Though the contemplated action is brought under the Sherman anti-trust law of 1890, the consideration of a bill in equity may raise the whole issue of Federal power. ELECTION OF SENATORS. INCE tLhc House of Representatives has for the fourth time adopted a resolution in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, it seems reasonable to assume it intends to stay with the fight until Senatorial opposition falls and victory is won. The Senate of course has a seemingly impregnable pesition. There can be no constitutional amendment without its consent, un- less, indeed, the Pennsylvania plan of calling for a constitutional convention by the States should be car- ried. That, *however, is so improbable that virtually the Senate can prevent reform so long as it has the firmness to stand fast. The only question is how long it can remain firm in face of the increasing strength of the demand for the amendment. With each successive adoption of the resolution of amendment the emphasis of the action of the House has been increased. At first there was much opposi- tion to the measure, bdt this time it was adopted by a unmanimous vote. Perhaps some of those who voted for it did so because they felti sure it would be defeated in the Senate, but none the less the vote at- tested the ‘growing sentiment among the people in favor of the change, and it may be that such senti- ment will eventually be strong enough to move the Senators themselves to yield. During the times when Senatorial deadlocks and Senatorial election scandals were prevalent in the country it was said with some show of reason that the popular demand for election of Senators by di- rect vote of the people was due to the natural irrita- tion caused by such scandals and did not represent the sober and matured judgment of the people. No such explanation of the sentiment in favor of the amendment at this time can be made. There is no Senatorial scandal now before the country, and yet T 3 3 the vote in the House on the issue has been more emphatic than ever before. It appears, then, that the House really represents the-firm, fixed opinion of the country ‘on this point, and, that being so, the ceded by the Senators without making a mere Bour- bon fight against it. Whatever the people desire in the way of political reform is bound to be accom- plished in the long run, and this appears to be one of the reforms upon witich the people have made up their minds. F The Protectionist, contributes to that maga- ® zine a number of striking quotations from British papers and books showing the growth of protection sentiment among the people. Free trade is no longer looked upon as a sacred dogma which no one dare assail. The conditions of British indus- try and commerce compel a serious reconsideration of the old problem, and out of the new study there is coming a widening conviction that not.only Brit- ish agticulture but British manufactures require pro- tection from foreign competition. . The situation confronting the British people is this: They have a costly war on their hands, a de- clining trade and a fiscal system which Sir Robert Giffen, the most eminent statistician in the kingdom, estimates will result in a deficit of $50,000,000 this year. An increase of revenue is imperative. Direct taxation is about as heavy as the people are willing to bear. The income tax, for example, now amounts to as much as 30 cents on every $5 of income, and other taxes are in proportion. The guestion how the additional revenue can be obtained is a perplex- ing one, and naturally the thoughts of the people are turning to taxes on imports. It has been assumed all along that the working- men of the kingdom would be resolutely opposed to duties on imports: It appears, however, they are coming round to the protection side as well as the manufacturers. ' Thus the London Mail, which has an enormous cif€ulation among working classes, said recently: “How that deficit is to be converted into a surplus is a problem for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. If he casts his eye over tne imports of foreign manufactured goods in the British trade re: turns he may find inspiration. Their value in 190T was £03,000,000 sterling. ‘A tax of 10 per cent ad valorem would very mearly fill the gap, while it is safe to say it would no more be felt than the sugar tax has been. We shzll be forced to resort to new methods in finance in a situation which is confessedly exceptional.” o Among the economic books of the day which are engaging most attention in the kingdom is one written by Mr. Byng, a leading manufacturer, under the title “Protection.” Among other things he says: “My case is that of every producer in this country. My capital and business are imperiled, the living of thousands of workmen I now employ is at stake, and if the safeguards for which I plead are denied me I shall be compelled to’ cease to be a producer. I ven- ture to prophesy that about 1912 there will be no his- tory of English free trade to record.. There will cither be ro trade or there will be protection.” PROTECTION IN BRITAIN. C. CHAPPELL, London correspondent of FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY The argument of Mr.' Byng is thot a manufacturer | in a protected country can.manufacture more cheaply 1 than one in a free trade country, and in proof of it he cites the fact that the producers of the United States, Germany and France are now underselling British products in Great Britain itseli. He points out that the*British Government,.the army, the navy, municipal adthorities and hospitals are copipelled to purchase foreign goods because they are cheaper, and he asks: “If British producers cannot compete with protected goods in our own country, how can they hope to compete against them in colonial and neutral markets?” ; It will be seen that these pleas are for an imposi- tion of duties only on foreign manufactured goods. Such duties would help the British manufacturer, but would not benefit the farmer and the land- owner. We may be sure, however, that the adoption of -the protective system for one class of industries would be followed by protecting other classes. Great Britain, in fact, seems to be approaching an abandonment of the free trade principle. It is a condition and not a theory that confronts her and she must face it fairly. OUR CONSULAR SERVICE. ITH the current number of the University W Chronicle, published by the University of California, the advocates of reforming our consular service are furnished with one of the best presentations that has yet been' made of the argu- ment on their side of ‘the issue. The entire number is given up to a series of papers on the general sub- ject-of consular ~work, and includes studies on “American Consular.Service,” “Origin, History and Nature of Consular Establishments,” “History of the United States Consular Service,” “The Duties, Functions, Rights and Privileges of Cohsuls,” and “The Consular Systems of the World.” The papers it will be seen, cover well nigh every important phase of the subject, and when taken as a whole constitute an ixi\pressiv_e lesson on the need of reforming our consular service and ridding it of its defects. After reviewing the consular systems of the great commercial nations of Europe and contrasting the methods employed in selecting consular agents by those #Governments with our 'methods, the review says: “It only requires a glance at the consular Sys- tems of the world to see that the organization and equipment of the foreigy service of the United States is altogether. antiquated and defective. It is plain that ours is the only great commercial nation in the world to-day where appointments to this branch/of the civil service are made without special regard for personal fitness and where candidates are eligible for appointment without degree from some accredited university or school of diplomacy, or without special training of some sort. The United States is the only great civilized nation where appointments to the diplomatic and consular service. depend upon political influence and where the tenure of office is not permanent nor during good behavior.” There is of course nothing new in these criticisms, Their value in this case is due to the cogency with which they are presented and the strength of the ar- gument which sustains them. Of such criticism we cannot have too much.. Qur expanding commerce is dependent in a large measure upon the Consuls who represent us abroad, and since California has so large a stake in that expansion it is gratifying to find our State University taking an active part in urging such reforms as will make the service more useful and more creditable not only to vur commerce but to our national prestige. Lord Sholto Douglas has bought a saloon in Spokane. It is to be hoped that he will find the se- clusion he seeks and give the public a rest which it needs. £1, 1902, BESHORMAN-PLEVIN WEDDING VERY QUIET 4doption of the amendment might as well be con- (oo Rarer ~ Previn - - 0 1SS LOTTIE L.

He en- tered the army as a surgeon from his native State in 1864 and served through- out the Petersburg campaign. After peace he served for many years in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, being finally transferred to Angel Island, where he re- mained, till the Spanish-American war, when He went.to Santlago as chief sur- geon of the Fifth Army Corps. In May, 1901, he was ordered to the Philippines as chief surgeon of the islands department. Advices received via the last steamer were to the effect that he was in excel- lent health, and the sudden announcement of his death from Bright's disease has greatly shocked the members of his fam- ily who reside in this city.

Among the passengers that arrived on the Government transport Meade several days ago were Army Surgeon Roberts and wife. There came also a British bulldog of blooded pedigree, but as dogs are for- bidden on board of transports, he must be regarded as a stowaway. Mrs. Roberts claimed him as her property, but the Cus- toms Surveyor's Department refused to allow the dog to be landed because of a regulation of the Department of Agricul- ture forbidding the importation of domes- tic and certaln wild animals from the Philippines. Dr. Baker of the Horticul- tural Department was called in for con- sultation. He failed to find any codlin moths on the dog, but he was not quite so sure about the codlin flea. He com- municated with his superior’ officer, Pro- fessor Simmons, in Washington, and the professor replied yesterday that the dog could not be landed under any considera~ tion. The bulldog cannot be returned to Ma- nila on the transport because dogs are coniraband and the blooded canine must be returned on some other kind of a ves- sel at Dr. Roberts’ expense or killed by the customs officials. —_———— Ex. strong hoarhound candy.

WHY EASTERN INDIAN SCHOOLS ARE FAILURES WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The Houss spent the day working on the Indian ap- propriation bill. Forty-two of the sixty- two pages were disposed of. Severa amendments were adopted. but none of much importance. The appropriation for preliminary work on the reservoir for the Gila River Valley went out on a point of order. Smith, the Delegate from Arizona, moved to strike out the appropriation for the Carlisle Indian School. He declared that experience showed those school dis- tant from the Indian reservations had | done more harm than good. The policy | was a mistaken one, in his opinion. The children were educated, made a show of by well-disposed people, after which they went back to the dirt and squalor in which they had been brought up. He in- sisted that the Indian should be educated in the environment in which he must live. These Indian schools in the East were, he said, the outgrowth of an igmorant sentimentalism. Philosophy, mathematics and geometry taught the Indians nothing. They should be taught husbandry home. He sald the best education pos sessed by one of the Indlans on the San Carlo reservation had been obtalned by serving four years in the penitentiary. He had been taught discipline. Cannon of Illiinois joined with Smith in opposing the Eastern schools. He declared that it was the height of cruelty to edu- cate the Indians and then send them back to savagery. After some discussion the Smith amend- ment was lost. Bell of Colorado offered an amendment to appropriate $54,000 for the Indian school at Grand Junction, Colo. It was adopted. Fitzgerald of New York created some- thing of a sensation by moving that mno part of the appropriation for the Indian School at. Mount Pleasant, Mich., should be used to pay the present superintend- ent, who, he said, had been charged with permitting the debauchery of Indian giris. Sherman declared that if the superin- tendent had been guilty of the practices charged the civil service law would not protect him, and that if evidence were produced to justify the charges the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs would dismiss him instantly. He proposed that Fitz- gerald go with him to the Indian Uuice to-morrow and investigate the whole mat- ter. If any one has been guilty of the things charged,” he said, “he will be out of the service before night.” Without action on the amendment the House, at 4:5 p. m., adjourned. PERSONAL MENTION. ‘W. H.
