A MONG the bosses and the henchmen who are expected to attend a banquet in San Jose in celebration of the appointment of the no- hnny” Mackenzie to the office of Har- ner is John C. Lynch, who holds the fice of Collector of Internal Revenue. The association of this official with the gang that is now working for the re-clection of Gage and the continuance of the domination of Herrin will sur- prise no one who has given any attention to the career of Lynch ever since he entered office. In fact, there would have been surprise had Lynch been omitted when the invitations went out to Kelly, Burns, Crimmins, Herrin and the rest of the gang. President Cleveland in condemning the continual interference of Federal office-holders with politics referred to it as “peraicious activity,” and the phrase has retained a place in public favor to this day. Such activity is indeed pernicious. It leads to the neglect of official duty, the shirking of rightful work, the offensive use of Federal patronage in the interg ests of factions and bosses and the degradation of the Flderal service. A worse example of the evils of this sort of pernicious activity could not be found than is paraded before the people of California by John C. Lynch. He has been an active henchman of the worst bosses of the city and the State ever since he took possession of the office, and has given far more of his energy and his time to serving Her- rin than to serving the Government from which he draws his salary, The part which Lynch played as a partner of Her- rin, Kelly, Crimmins. Burke and the rest dur- ing the late city election”is well known. He s now training with the same gang in State politics. His appearance at the®banquet in cele- bration of the triumph of the San Jose boss will be in harmony with his whole official In fact, it is to be doubted if he was ever is office attending to his official duties when the bosses wished him to be engaged at their work. Federal coffice and Federal patronage are nothing more to kim than a means of doing henchman poli- tics in the service of Herrin. So offensive has Lynch made himself to the people of California that his removal from office has become a matter of great importance to the Republican party. So long as a Republican administration keeps him in office, so long will the administration be to some extent discredited in California. + President Roose- wvelt has a high reputation for upholding the dignity of the civil service in all its departments and in all its branches. He has firmly enforced the rule that Fed- eral officials must attend to their duties, and if he mow tolerates Lynch it must be solely because he has mot yet been made aware of the course Lynch has pursued ever since he took office. Lynch is, in fact, an offensive partisan of the worst kind. At .the Mac- kenzie banquet he will be in his element, but in the Internal Revenue office he is out of place. His re- moval should be urged at once upon the President by every member of the California delegation in Congress. ” J -| farmer! 1 THE SAN | THAT SUGAR PLEDGE, e W S o that “the pledge of the American people -to Cuba must-be redeemed” by giving her free trade.in our markets. . When was such a pledge made? Where was it made? How was it made? By whom was it made? The people never made it nor authorized any one to make it for them. If the Secretary of War made it to induce acceptance of the Platt amendment he ex- ceeded his authority and by assuming to act for the American people showed his ignorance of popular government. X If such a pledge were made why do not the junta or the {ree traders produce it? Great interests are not to be made the ‘victim of a policy based upon a pledge that no one produces, that rests solely in the expressions of the junta and its organs. The Ameri- can people want to know how they were pledged and committed to destroy one of their owh industries and make a breach in the protection policy that de- fends them all in the interest of the Cuban sugar planters. 3 We have raised the voice of warning that when Republicans admit that protection is not an enduring economic principle, but solely a policy of expediency only, its days are numbered. Such men are making free traders faster than they can be initiated and get the grip and the password. The people have seen the splendid effect of protection in domesticating the manufacture of tinplate and scores of other exotic manufacturing industries for the products of which we formerly paid out tens of millions of dollars, now kept at home and paid to American labor. The peo- ple bore patiently their. share of the self-denial and sacrifice required to secure industrial independence by such additions to our productive power and va- riecty. None bore it more patiently nor sacrificed | more in its behalf than the American farmers. They | never flinched, but walked to the polls and voted for 4pmteclion and went home and toiled in their fields to make it effective. In time the promise of the protectionist leaders | that the farmers’ turn should come seemed to be re- deemed: The people were paying $100,000,000 a year for foreign-grown sugar. By protection to. the farmer, which would not burden the consumer by a higher charge, this $100,000,000 could be kept at home and added to the profits of agriculture. Re- lying on the stability of protection as an economic principle, the farmers and the beet sugar millers in- vested and launched an enterprise which had ahead the prize of $100,000,000. Just as the farmers begin to get a share of protection and begin to believe that the benefits of that economic principle are general and not partial, the Cuban planters, the junta, the generals of our army, inform the country that its pledge to Cuba requires the sacrifice of the American His prosperity is held to be nothing, and as he sess his infant industry dying in its cradle, he is told that somebody pledged him to make the Cu- ban people permaneatly prosperous even if he have to mortgage his farm to do it! If the American farmers supply the domestic de- mand for sugar, as they can, their farms will employ more than half a million workmen in that industry. They will pay American wages and yet get a profit of !ncarly $50 per acre. At present many thousand farmers are engaged in this industry. Its profits are not confined to a few great planters, but are diffused and divided among thousands. With this fact fixed in his mind let the American farmer read the sayings of Senor Abad, one of the Cuban junta in Washington. The Senor said on the 12th inst. in Washington: “We have neither retired nor become discouraged on account of some opposition in Congress to giving us justice. Mr. Gamba, Mr. Place and Mr. Mendoza, the other Cubap gentlemen associated with me, are business men ‘and cannot leave their affairs for long at a time. Among them are sugar planters who alone produce as much &ugar as that produced by all the beet sugar growers of the United States.” Ponder that for a moment. It means that the profit which protection distributes to tens of thou- sands of American farmers, in New York, Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, California and elsewhere, is to be concentrated and all given to one cane planter in Cuba, and he a Spaniard and an alien! Senor Abad has the trué swagger of his race. His boast should make cvery American Congressman's palm tingle to slap it back down his throat. But how do the farmers like it? They are brushed off the question by this Cuban bravo as if they were vermin, while he boasts that the profit they enjoy in its wide distribution is to be legislated to one planter, not by his own Government, but by that which tHe American farmer elects. P . General Otis says in his testimony before a Fed- eral Senate committee that the Filipinos have no idea of freedom. Uncle Sam could perhaps perform no nobler duty than to try to educate the islanders to an understanding of a thought which we prize so highly. Fthe people of the United States have desired an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of Senator by direct popular vote. At the present time it is highly probable the desire is en- tertained by a strong majority of voters. A resolu- tion in its favor has becn passed by an overwhelming vote in the House, and there is-a strong sup- port for it in the Senate. Just at this juncture, how- ever, when .everything promises well for the meas- ure, Senator Penrose introduces a resolution which adds to the original amendment a scheme of change so great that there is not the slightest probability it will be adopted. The Penrose resolution proposes that the Senate of the United States shall be composed of at least two Senators from each State and an additional Sen- ator for every ratio of 500,000 persons, all of whom shall be elected by direct vote of the people thereof for a term of six years, and each Senator shall have one vote. It provides, further, that a plurality of votes shall elect; that vacancies occurring 5!13]] be filled, not, as now, by temporary executive appoint- ment; but by new elections, as vacancies in the House of Representatives are filled, and that, after each decennial census, the number of Senators for each State shall be “fixed and apportioned,” as the number of Representatives in the other branch is, ex- cept that each State shall have at least two. The plan, if adopted, would put an end to the equality of the States so far as representation in the Senate is concerned, and that is about the only place where they have equality. New York, Pennsylvania, Tllinois, Ohio and other populous States would gain power in the Senate as they now have in the House, jand the last vestige of the old States rights prin- COMPLICATING AN ISSUE. OR a long time a considerable proportion of FRANCISCO CAL Congress over and over repeat the statement SATURDAY, ciple would vanish. There have been at times of course many discussions of an academic nature con- tation according to population in the Senate as in the House, but this, we believe, is the first time it has ever been proposed as a matter of practical politics. The constitution provides that each <State shall have two representatives in the United States Sen- ate, and it is further stipulated that no State Shall without its consent be deprived of its equality of rep- resentation in that branch of the Government. It will therefore take a good deal of amending to bring about the adoption of the Penrose resolution. In fact it is not clear just why it has been brought forward. It complicates a question of reform which is quite plain and which the people are prepared to support by intruding an outside issue not.at all pertinent to the simple question of the method of election of Senators. It has been suggested that Penrose is not in fdvor of the scheme but has put it forward for the purpose of “queering” the original resolution. ~ If that be his intention, it will fail. The people are quite able to distinguish between a resolution provid- ing for the election of Senators by direct popular vote and the Penrose proposition, which would ma- terially alter the whole fabric of the constitution.

ILLON’S fierce controversy with Chamber- D lain, which has led to his suspension from the Commons, was precipitated by Irish sym- pathy with the Boers.. That sympathy, however, would not have led to such an outbreak of wrath on the part of the Irish leader had there not been a deeper cause of antagonism behind it. Not the wrongs done to South Africa but the wrong done to Ireland is the primal element in the intense feel- ing of the Irish leaders against the British Ministry, and the Dillon incident is only another illustration of how fiercely that feeling glows. Lord Rosebery has advised the British Liberals to drop the issue of home rule for.Ireland, but the advice has been futile. In fact, were the Liberal party to drop it altogether the Liberal party would cease to be a factor in British politics. might as well have advised his party to drop the issue in South Africa. The Irish. question is not -a crea- tion' of politicians, which they can make or unake at their option. It arises out of the very nature of the | rélations of the two countries to one another, and is one of the issues of which it may be truly said with- out exaggeration that it can never be settled until it is settled right. v All parties seem to be agreed that at this time, de- spite the comparative quiet of the Irish people, the | condition of Ireland is utterly unsatisfactory. The land question-appears to be the center of strife, The tenants complain of injustice and the landlords com- plain of spoliation. The long series of land acts en- acted by Parliament have settled nothing. At the present time not only are the Nationalists of Ireland hostile to the Ministry, but the Irish Unionists are hardly less so. All parties of Irish, in fact, are united in the movement for a redress of the wrongs of landlordism and in a demand for relief from the alleged over-taxation of Ireland. With a united peo- ple urging reforms of such importance it is folly for | any British statesman to attempt to eliminate from practical politics any one of the many phases of the Irish question. -In a recent review of the double demand for bet- ter land laws and lighter taxation the Westminster Gazette says: “Great Britain is not at this moment in a favorable position to meet either of these move- ments. With the burden of South Africa upon her shoulders; she is not disposed either to relieve taxa- tion or to engage her credit in a gigantic operation for compulsory land purchase in Ireland. Being un- able to give redress ske is thrown back on her old resource—the suppression of agitators. Meetings have been broken up, members of Parliament have been imprisoned, and it is now suggested that the United Irish League shall be declared an illegal as- Sociation. Thus we seem to be passing rapidly into another period of coercion.” Such being the situation, it is evident that the re- lations between the Irish and the British members of Parliament are strained and unnatural. That feel- ing must be taken into consideration in estimating the passion that impelled Dillon to his violent de- nunciation of Chamberlain. It must also be counted on in weighing the chances of Rosebery in his ef- forts to organize the Liberal party in support of a platform excluding the Irish question. What would be the immediate effect were the Lib- erals in Parliament to accept Rosebery’s leadership we cannot undertake to say, but the ultimate result of it can hardly be a matter of doubt. In a free coun- try no party can live that undertakes to evade a vital issue, and to the British empire the Irish question is very. vital indeed, nor was it ever more urgent than now. The Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League of New York desires the appointment of an official commis- sion to investigate “the nature and value of vacci- nation, antitoxine, seropathy and other alleged pro- phylactics,” and now we may look out for squalls. There is never a referee when doctors get to fighting. It is sincerely to be hoped that neither the police nor the Supervisors will use as an argument for leaving the streets unguarded and in blackness at night the interesting fact that citizens are now being robbed in broad daylight. Our footpad community is simply trying an experiment, While the Boers have their hands in it might be a good stroke of policy for them to capture Kipling and put him under parole to write no more until the war is over. There is no better way for them to win the sympathies of the English-speaking world. —_— The queer way in which politics works in Connec- ticut is illustrated by the vote of the constitutional convention of the State to give the city of Hartford only one representative in the Assembly, but six in the Senate. The thing 100ks top-heavy. It is reported that the investors in the Marconi wireless telegraph company have insured the invent- or’s life for upward of $750,000 in London alone; so the young man may know they think a lot of him and wouldn’t lose him for big money. During coronation week King Edward will feast 500,000 of the poor of London. It is difficult to un- derstand whether this is to'be an advertisement of the King's gencrosity or of a condition most appalling in the English capital. & Rosebery - ‘on the Alameda. { | Woodmen and the work of initiation will MARCH 22, 1902. KING EDWAR ROBES OF A SRS, S ol D IN HIS ORONATION W el THE London Express publishes the FIRST CORRECT DRAWING PUBLISHED OF HIS IMPERIAL MA- JESTY KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH, AS HE WILL APPEAR ATTIRED FOR THE CORONATION IN JUNE NEXT. first correct drawing of the King as he will appear ' in his coronation robes at Westminster In June next. Briefly, it may be sald that aclording to the present outer robe will be of purple velvet embroidered with the various badges intentions the in gold; the skirt will be of the finest white silk, as well as the stock- ings, while the shoes will also be white, with gold badges wrought on them. Perhaps the most truly resplendent and regal part of his Majesty's corona- tion robes will be the palllum, or royal mantle, which is now being woven of cloth of gold on the looms of Braintree, in Essex. Cloth of gold has invariably been the all coronations. But, as in things of lesser value, there are cloths of gold and el material ‘used for_the royal mantle at of sold, and even that which King Edward will wear will differ considerably in the text- ure of the weaving from that prepared for the late Queen’s crowning. Unlike the palliums of previous.sovereigns the cloth of gold of which King Edward's will be made will be devoid of roses and eagles. the usual designs of shamrock, thistles, When completed, however, the palllum will not be without design, for the ornamentation will be done by the Royal School of Art Needlework, the em- broidery being executed in gold and silver thread. in correct heraldic coloring, the design being bold and large. Thus the weavers have had considerable difficulties to contend with, for not only have they had to study to get a brightness of surface combined with a sup- pleness of texture, but they have also had to produce a material adaptable to the embroiderer’s needle. Special gold thread, of course, is used, the woof twist composed of two flat and one round strand of extraordinary fineness, being faced with a most beau- tiful sheen. Some idea of the remarkably fine quality of the material employed may be had from the fact that the metal used coinage. contains less alloy than the British gold Yet the material that has so far been made is so soft and pliant that it read- fly falls into the most perfect folds. It is learned on the highest authority that the King is very partial to the Gothic crown, similar to the one worn by Henry VIIL This crown is of a particularly plain design, consisting of four Gothic arches surmounted on the top by a St. George’ s cross. The crowns of the British kings have varfed considerably in the matter of design. For instance, in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the royal crown of Tngland was a jeweled circlet of gold, heightened with strawberry leaves or tre- foils, sometimes alternately large and small. Henry IV's crown was as costly as it was magnificent, the eight strawberry leaves being alternated with as many fleur-de-lis, the whole alternating with sixteen small groups of pearls. o S 2 0 2 e o e e e S S S Y ) WOODMEN'’S BIG INITIATION FETE - IN SAN JOSE —_—— SAN JOSE, March 21.—All is in readi- ness for the big initiation of the Wood- men of the World at the Carnival Pa- villon to-morrow night. The structure has been handsomely decorated with flags, bunting and evergreens. This meeting will be the most notable in the history of local Woodmen, and fully 2500 members of the organization are expected to be present. Nearly 400 candidates are to be initiated. Of this number San Jose fur- nishes over 200, and the other dozen camps about the county will make up the balance of the class of initiates. ‘About 1000. Woodmen and their friends are expected from San Francisco and other bay citles on two special trains. In these parties will be the four degree teams of Oakland and Alameda and about 400 members of the order. They will be accompanied by Tamalipais Camp of San Francisco and its famous band. These trains will be met at the broad gauge de- pot at 7:30 o'clock<by the Santa Clara County camps and bands. After a march through the streets the members will make their way to the Carnival Pavilion Here there will be a musical and liter- ary programme, to- which everybody is in- vited. Many hundreds of invitations have been given out and it is expected the big hall will be crowded. There will be exhi- bition drills by four degree teams of San Francisco and Alameda and by the drill team of ladles of the Enisvale Circle of Women of Woodcraft of this city. ‘After the entertalnment the hall will be cleared of all but members of the begin.

The exhibition, which promises a treat to the genuine art lovers of San Francis- co, is the first of the kind to be held on the Pacific Coast, and Is, therefore, looked forward to with unusual interest. While foreigners, particularly of Paris | and London, have for years been studying | and collecting with enthusiastic zeal these { rare old examples of Japanese art of the | early period, alert America has also been [alive to their value and has quiet worked away, with the result that witn 1 the exception of Paris, where, it Is said some of the private eollections contair les are to be found in this country. l“’rll‘g the Boston Museum of Fine Arts can Te traced an exact affiliation and chronol- | ogy of each phase of the famous Ukioye | The world's first complete exhibition ot Ukloye painting and prints, many speci- mens of which have subsequently found their way to the private collections in this city, was held in New York in 189, To the enthusiasm of two of the most zealous collectors on the coast, Edgar A.

Has Largest Collection. Mr. Armes has the largest collection on the Pacific Coast; in his gallery are over 2000 prints, representing both figure and landscape. Mr. Mathews’ collection numbers about 500, among them many choice prints’ of the earifest period, and some complete sets frcm the brush of one master. Many of the prints for the exhibition will be selected from these two collec- tions; others of value wiil be loanied from the collections of Arnold Genthe, Porter 'Garnet, Washington Jenks, - Gelett Bur- gess, Newton Tharp, Bruce Porter and several others who have been following the fascinating hobby of collecting Japan- ese art. Art lovers long ago learned to appreei- ate the graceful flow of line and harmony of tone that make these pictures of early Japan worthy of close study and a so of gratification to every esthetic sense. many who have had no opportunity of studying the work of Hokusal or Koriu sal the prints will be a revelation. There |is a delicate sweep, an exquisite color, a | wonderful effect gained by so little ap- parent effort. So rich are these early examples in pri- mary art principles that throughout Eu- rope, and America as well, the schools of design and schools of painting secure them as invaluable models to the stu- dents. The best authority on .the subject as- serts that the old Japanese prints, at their best, are by" all odds the greatest specimens of the art of designing and ex- ecuting that ghe world has ever seen. Master Touch Evident. There is noticeable in each stroke a master touch, ®vidence that the artist had the exact knowledge of what to do to obtain the simplest yet the most subtie effects, not only in the quality of line en- graving, but in the superposition of color value. In the very earliest perfod of block printing only three colors were used; these colors of vegetable matter wers compounded by edch artist for himselr. Yet these prints to-day, after two centu- ries, present a unity and purity of tope absolutely unrivaled. In the seventeenth century a greater variety of color was brought into use, sometimes as many as five, and the Japanese treatment of this new acquisition has been likened to the grammar of color arrangement, and is said to outrival even the best Greek dec- oration. An additional treat will be offered in the decorative effects, which, under the efficient direction of Arthur F, Mathews, will be carried out in artistic arrangement of cherry blossoms and green bamboo, together with great bronze Buddhas and novel lantern effacts. Sunday afternoon the committee will be- gin to convert the famous jinks room into a veritable Japanese garden. With the exception of New York, this chronological exhibition of color prints, given by the Bohemian Club, will be one of the most important ever held In tha United States. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. J.
