THE REAL SCHEME. more and more evident that the real scheme of the corporation bosses is not so much the ! S the State campaign progresses it -becomes n of Gage as that of procuring the adop- ior ssembly constitutional amendment No. 28. Gage is necessary to the scheme, of course, for hould ihe amendment be adopted he would have the appointment of the commission for which it pro- Whether he be defeated or elected is a minor He is in office now and the appointments be in his hands. The corporations must stand by 1. For once the tool is in a position to boss the bosses. Assembly constituticnal amendment No. 28 is the boldest effort to establish boss corporation rule in California that. has ever :been attempted. The amendment annuls sections 22 and 23 of article XII of the constitution, relating to corporations, and creates a commission to be composed of five mem- bers, clothed with extraordinary powers. It is to have supervision over railway, telegraph, telephone, water, light, power, sleeping-car, express and “other All authority mow vested in State Boards of Supervisors, Common Councils or other bodies to supervise,and regulate rates of public utilities is taken away. The proposed ission is to have control of the whole. It will be apparent to every intelligent man that if amendm be adopted the corporations will have only to get control of the commission to have the people at their mercy. .With that commission 1 of £ vides natter. e commissions, new com 1t the on their side they can afford to defy any and every | effort to obtain reasonable rates. Even such strictly as those affecting the water supply will be decided by the commission local authorities. What more, then, grasping corporation wish than the establishment of such a commission during the Go_\'- ernorship of 2 man who will appoint such €ommis- sioners as the corporations desire? It is to be borne in mind that the commission in the first instance is 1o be appointed by the Gov- ernor, and there will be no election to the office by the people except as the terms of those appointed by the Governor expire. There are to be five Commis- sioners; one is to hold for two years, another for four years, a third for six years, a fourth for eight fifth for ten years. Thus the men to be appointed by Gage should the amendment be adopted would control the commission for six years to come. Is it any wonder the railway and other corporatior bosses are backing® him? It is the duty of the press to point out to the peo- ple this phase of the situation. The fight now going on to capture the Republican State convention is not being waged in the interest of such a petty politi- cian as Gage, nor is it mainly for the bosses and the henchmen who aré most conspicuous in making it. It is 2 fight made by powerful corporations for a scheme that will open the way for imposing rates equal to all the traffic will bear upon every sort of public uti in California. In this fight Democratic as well as Republican bosses are enlisted. Billy Herrin is'not doing politics solely in the Republican camp, and the tone of the yellow organ of Democ- racy shows that he is getting help in the Democratic camp as well as from Kelly, Crimmins, Burke and Lynth, who pose as Republicans, Such is the issue and such are the foes that con- front the rank and file of the Republican party. The combination is formidable. Back of Gage is Herrin and the bosses of both parties, and back of the bosses are the allied corporations working for the adoption of amendment No. 28. It is a big scheme, and the menace to California is enormous. It will not do for the people to underrate the danger. Local self-government is at stake in everything that re- lates to the regulation of public utilities. The elec- tion of Gage is not absolutely necessary to the schemers provided they can carry the amendment, for he can appoint their Commissioners before he goes out of office; but his defeat and that of the amendment also are necessary to the welfare of the State. Jocal qu of com stions unities nd not by the could the most years and the Burns, In view of the efforts of New York Democrats to reorganize the party there is something of pertinence as well as of truth in the remark of Senator Clay of Georgia that the South furnishes the strength of the party and has the right to run it PLACATING THE PHILIPPINES. ler for shooting eleven Filipino prisoners may well be studied by those who are students of the various methods of placating that hostile people. The prisoners who were shot were captured and car- ried away from thei: village and families by Major Waller and his men,.and on arrival at his destination were by him ordered shot. There are some imma- terial details in the affair. It is said that the prison- ers were tied up and shot first in the arms and legs before any vital part was aimed at to complete the execution. But war is a killing trade, and those who, follow it must have practice, so we pass over this. Major Waller pleads guilty of ordering the prison- ers shot, but submits evidence to establish his right to do so. Some of this is general in its nature, to the effect that many Filipinos are bad people any- way, useful principally for targets. It is also in evi- dence that the prisoners deserved death because in the trying march from their homes to their graves their captors, had nothing to feed' them, and they were guilty of saving themselves from death by star- vation by eating roots and leaves, which they did vot divide with Major Waller and his soldiers. It being a well settled article of war that a military prisoner must share his roots and herbs with his | captors, under penalty of death, there will be no | question of the propriety of shooting these prisoners. On Major Waller's trial there is much ‘testimony |to the general treachery of the natives, and a | Macabebe scout has sworn that he has no doubt | these prisoners would have escaped by killing their captors if they could. In the face of this conclusive | vindication of Major Waller our vote is for his ac- 1:]uina] and promotion. But there is one revelation | incident to his trial upon which we desire to hang a | comment or two. It appears that in his force there is a private named Davis who has the power of life |and death. The major's witness testified that Davis [had this absolute power and picked out everywhere the bad natives from the good, and they were shot in accordance with his selection. Now Private Davis seems to be the man for whom we have been looking. Among the eighty tribes in the archipelago are all sorts and conditions. Some | wear clothes and some don’t. Their variety is in- | finite and we are after the bad ones, but with a lim- THE developments in the trial of Major Wal- good. Under these painful circumstances it no doubt happens that we are retarding the placation of the islands and indisposing the people toward our spelling-book and institutions by mistakenly shoot- ing prisoners who belong to the good class. They are naturally regarded as amartyrs, and their fate im- | pairs the spread of our gentle and humanizing in- | fiuence. In this situation Private Davis ceases to be a private. He is a boon. He is more valuable than a commission, greater than an army with banners. | He can tell bad natives at a glance and unerringly { select them for execution. He should be kept in | action, being careful rot to fatigue him, since such a ?gi!‘x, fagged by overwork, may depart and return us to our first estate. He is lifting the clouds as fast as he can, and should not be crowded. His methods institute a much needed economy. All that is needed is Davis and a firing squad. The good natives, highly appreciative of this discrimination, can be | trusted to bury the dead bad ones, and hold a fiesta over their timely removal, for they were stumbling=~ blocks in the path of progress up which we are tri- umphantly treading and taking the good natives along. Another reflection, which burnishes our pride till it shines like new hrass, is that we have so much |improved on the methods of Spain. Dr. Rizal or- ganized the revolution of 1896 for independence. We looked on at a distance and immediately observed that the natives who joined him were good, and de- sired independence with a great longing which caused them to fight and die for it. But medieval and mistaken Spain immediately began to shoot prisoners who were good. They induced Rizal to | surrender under promise of safe conduct and per- mission to expatriate himself. As soon as he was in their power they took their prisoner out in the plaza at Cavite and shot him! Remember, now, that he had not even refused as a prisoner to divide his roots and herbs with his captors. He had shown none of the stigmata of degenerate badness which Davis detects so easily. We have a school superin- tendent in Manila who on Rizal's birthday caused his memory to be fcrmally honored in all the schools we have established in the islands. What, we ask, what indeed, can more rapidly, economically and satisfactively placate those people and convince them of our superiority over Spain Rizal than honoring the memory of Private Davis busy? and keeping The Boston Globe says. “Strawberries from Mis- sissippi will be started North this week—and some of us are getting very tired of prunes.” The implied preference for the Mississippi strawberry over the California prune sounds strange, but what can be ex- pected of folks who were raised on béans? FRENCH SOCIAL PROGRAMME. France recently adopted a new declaration of principles and a programme of action. It was drawn up by M. Jaures, the leader of the Socialists in the Chamber of Deputies, who have supported the Waldeck-Rousseau Ministry and who accordingly are known as “Ministerial Socialists.” The aathorship of the platform is a matter of some importance, since it reveals the fact that the programme emanates from what may be termed the conservative wing of the party, and, therefore, does not represent the extreme Socialists. From the summary that has been published, it ap- pears the Tours Congress demands the abolition of all tariff duties and the adoption of full freedom of trade, calls for a graduated income tax, the enforce- ment by law of one day of rest in seven, the restric- tion of labor to eight hours a day, a State insurance system, full freedom of education of all grades, the prohibition of private schools, the enactment of laws forbidding the employment of women for night work at any trade, the abolition 6f the Presidency and the Senate so as to give the Deputies complete control of the Government, the election of Judges by direct vote of the people, universal suffrage for both sexes, the abolition of compulsory military service, the con- struction by the Government of proper homes for the poor.and the nationalization of mines. & Some of these demands are not beyond the pro- gramme of progressive conservatives. The restric- tion of labor to eight hours a day and to six days in the week is fairly acceptable throughout civilization, Free trade has been tried in Great Britain, so it can- not be deemed revolutionary, even if it has been disastrous. The greater portion of the programme, however, is wild and unreasonable. Why should ,men be denied the privilege of maintaining private ! T a congress held at Tours, the Socialists of |ited and finite capacity to distinguish them from the | schools? Why should women have no right to work at night? Why should the Government of France be vested in a single chamber? Since the “Ministerial Socialists” put forward such a platform, it is safe to assume the radicals will be satisfied with nothing less than a complete destruc- tion of existing civilization. France is -not alto- gether averse to revolutions, but it is safe to say it will be a long time before her people feel sufficiently revolutionary to accept such leadership as that of the Tours congress. A New York philanthropist has started a restaur- ant where a man can get a bowl of pea soup, steamed hominy, or other cereal, for one cent; and he claims that not only can a man live on three such meals #day, but the business can be conducted with a profit to the management. However, it is an idle experiment. What the American wishes to know is how he can earn’ enough ‘to live higher and not cheaper than at present. RATHBONE AND POLITICS. AJOR RATHBONE'S case is becoming in- M teresting from a political point of view. The earnestness with which Senator Hanna is reported to be defending him, and the reported firm- ness of the President to take no part in assisting the Senator in the work, give a new occasion for specu- lation concerning a possible rivalry and antagonism beween the two. Rathbone himself is no very great figure, but if he should be the cause of a political fight between two such champions as Roosevelt and ! Hanna, he would have a marked influence on the his- tory of the Republican party for the coming three years and might be a factor in determining the next candidate of the party for the Presidency., Hanna’s argument is that Rathbone did not have a fair trial in Havana and should be brought to the United States and given a trial in an American court under American law. He ha€ been urging the Presi- dent to procure a new trial for Rathbone or to par- don him, but the President has refused. In fact, it appears the request made by the Senator is decidedly irregular. A Washington dispatch ‘says: ‘It is re- garded here as doubtful whether the President has the right to set’ aside the judgment of the Cuban court, for Cuba is. a foreign country, although under the nominal protection’ of the United States. . The same reasoning makes it extremely improbable. that Congress would enact a law transferring the accuséd ex-officials to this country.” " Such doubts as may haunt the minds of other people in Washington evidently do not trouble the mind of the Senator from Ohio, for he has been in- sistent on the part of his friend ever since his con- viction. He has helped Rathbone to give the bail of $100,000 required by the Cuban court, and is now arranging to obtain for him a new trial in that coun- try if he cannot obtain it in the United States. It remains to be seen how far Hanna will permit his zeal on behalf of Rathbone to carry him into an- tagonism to the President. In the fight as it stands public sentiment will be against him. Rathbone has been tried and duly convicted by a court of compe- tent jurisdiction and apparently on fair evidence of having robbed the Cuban postoffice. The firmness of the President in refusing to interfere with the course of the law is commendable, and it would seem that Hanna could hardly afford to make a fight against the President on such ground as he has taken. Still ‘there is unquestionably a strong ele- ment in the East that is trying to force Hanna into opposition to-the administration, and into a contest with Roosevelt for the nomination in 1904, and it is by no means impossible that the feeling growing out of the Rathbone case may precipitate an open con- flict between the two. Should it prove so, #he poli- tics of this country is geing to be much livelier than it has been since McKinley's first Presidency. Registrar Walsh advises the introduction of vot- ing, machines to correct the gross blunders which the intelligent public insists upon committing on election day, The Registrar perhaps forgets that even machine-protected brains could not save some voters from error. D SOUTHERN POLITICS. NATOR CLAY of Georgia recently closed a S discussion of the conflict between the Bryanite Democrats of the West and the Gold Demo- crats of the East by saying that as the South fur- nishes the strength of the Democratic party it should have the right to decide upon party policies. That view'is shared by a good many other Southern men, and it is probable that the fight between Nebraska and New York will be settled in the next national convention by the arbitrariness if not the arbitratiofi of the solid South. The truth of Clay's statement of fact is indis- putable. The South does furnish the strength of the Democratic party. Without the delegations from that section of the Union there would hardly be enough Democrats in Congress to form a commit- tee. Nor does it appear that any valid objection can be made to the conclusion the Senator drew from the fact. Since the South does the main part of the Democratic voting, why should she not draw up the platforms and nominate the candidates she expects to vote for? The issue is one of considerable importance just now, for it signifies the complete eclipse of Bryanism, and perhaps the permanent elimination of that phase of partisanship from our politics. The Call recently directed attention to the vote in the Mississippi Leg- islature declaring for an alliance of Southern Democ- racy with New York and utterly repudiating the Chicago platform and the Populistic Democracy of the West. That in itself was a significant demon- stration of the change in Southern sentiment, but an even more notable manifestation of change is found in the recent statement that among 'all the Senators from the South at Washington only two are out and out Bryan men. Those two are Tillman and Jones of Arkansas. Tillman is discredited in his own State and Jones is soon to lose his Senatorship, for the recent vote in the Democratic primaries in Arkansas shows that this party is opposed to his re-election. Such’ being the drift of opinion in the South, it is clear the time has come for Bryan to decide whether he will retire from politics or be retired by the Southern and Eastern combination. If he wishes to avoid both evils it is high time he took the stump. Something is doing in the South, and if he do not head it off it will have a “get there” movement on it by 1904. Senator Frye stated recently that never since he has been in Congress has the business of the long term been so well advanced as at this session, and he predicts Congress will be ready to adjourn by the end of June. Such a prediction, of course, is. not worth much more than one from the Weather Bu- ircap, but all the, same it is cheering. UNIQUE AMONG SOCIETY EVENTS ARE ' MRS. GEO. GOULD’S ENTERTAINMENTS FAMILIAR name in New York so- clal life is that of Mrs. George J. Gould, the mistress of Georgian Court, Lakewood, N. J.,, says the Commercial Advertiser of New York. Unlike many American women of soclety, Mrs. Gould makes her own so- clal atmosphere. With her the Home is paramount. She is the mother of a large, happy and healthy family of children, During the last fourteen years Mrs. Gould has done much elegant entertaining, but With very few exceptions all of the en- tertainments have been given in her home in this city or at her beautiful country place at Lakewood. An event of early occurrence assoclated with the social af- fairs of Mr. and Mrs. Gould was the mar- riage of Miss Anna Gould with the Count Boni de Castellane at the city residence on upper Fifth avenue. During that sea- son and in several succeeding. ones Mrs. Gould gave a series of notable concerts which in quality and excellence of ap- pointments have not been exceeded by New York's most ambitious hostesses. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Gould fin- ished Georgian Court, a palatial home among the pines of Lakewood, and there their large circle of acquaintances have been treated to entertainments that stand out as unique among events of society. Notable among them have been her pri- vate theatricals, in which manuscript plays have been produced in the theater of Georglan Court by actors of the high- est standing. It has also been Mrs. Gould’s pleasure to. bring forward in her private theater: the best of amateur tal- ent. Mrs. Gould's fondness for entertain- ing with an object finds expression at the opera, where she is regularly a parterre hostess. Mr. Gould is a stockholder in the Metropolitan Opera-house and Real Estate Company and shares a parterre box with Henry Crews. Mrs. Gould has about her a family of six fine children, three girls and three boys. The oldest, Kingdon, bearing his mother’s maiden name, is growing out of boyhood, being in hig fifteenth year. The youngest, Edith Kingdon, named also after her mother, was born aboard the Gould yacht in -August last, Marjorie Gould, the oldest of the girls, is an un- usually bright girl of about. 12 years, speaking two languages in addition to her native, tongue. The third daughter is named after her aunt, Helen. The other boys are: Jay, named. for his grandfather, and George J. Gould Jr., who favors his father in many ways besides his name. —_———— PERSONAL.

H., Vallejo, Cal. Your question is a simple one of compound in- terest and of the class that this depart- ment does not answer. It does not fur- nish answers to questions in arithmelic nor solve problems. TROOPS—N., San Rafael, Cal. When the announcement is made in the press that a general left for a certain point ‘with 6000 or 10,000 soldiers it does not mean that he started with that exact number, as there may have been a few more or a few less. STATE ELECTIONS—F. S, Klamath, Cal. All the States in the Union except Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippl, Utah, Virginia and Washington will elect a Gov- ernor and other State officers.

If white kid shoes are not very solled they may be cleaned in the following manner: “Put half ounce of hartshorn in a saucer, dip a bit of clean flannel into it and rub it on a piece of white curd soap; rub the shoe with this and as each piece of flannel becomes soiled take a fresh plece. The boots wiil look like new.” White satin shoes may be cleaned by rubbing them with stone blue and flannel and afterward cleaning them with bread. ‘WILL—H., Oakland, Cal. Form in wills is not much regarded and a very simple and informal document will be sustained where the writing relied on has been ex- ecuted in conformity to statute and shows upon its face a declaration that the same is the will of the maker. But a person who does not desire to engage the serv- ices of a lawyer can draw up his own will by procuring a blank form of such from a dealer in law stationery. A will should be signed in the presence of the testator by at least two witnesses. A person, how- ever, may make an olographic will, which need not be witnessed. Such a will must be wholly in the handwriting of the tes- tator, It must not have any printing upon it. Such a will written on a sheet of paper having printed at the head, fo ‘| instance, “‘San Francisco,.........., 190..,” would be declared invalld. DIVISION FENCE~P., 8an Mateo, Cal., and A. O. R., Paso Robles, Cal. The an- swer t¢ your question, “If two men own adjoining property and A wants a divi- sion fence and B does not, then A puts up a fence, can B be forced to pay any share of the cost of such fence?”’ is found in section 841 of the Clvil Code, as follows: “Coterminous owners are mutually o . YORK. bound to maintain (1) the boundaries and monuments between them; (2) the fences between tliem, unless one of them chooses to let his land He without fencing, in Which case, it he afterward incloses it, he must refund to the other a just pro- portion of the value at that time of any division fence made by the latter.” THE PRESIDENT—A Subscriber, City. There is nothing in the constitution or the laws of the United States which says that the’ President cannot leave the United States to visit foreign places dur- ing his term of office, nor is there any law that says that if he should desire to 80 outside of the boundaries of the Union of States that he must obtain permission, QUOTATION—R., Placerville, Cal. A friend of this department suggests that the lines submitted in your letter of in- quiry, namely: She was as white and pure as.snow, But like the snowflakes from heaven she fefl, Are not correctly quoted. and that pqssi- bly you have in mind the words following from “Beautiful Snow,” written in De- cember, 1853, and to be found in full in the July number of the Galaxy, 1369, pages 143-144, together with a history of the same: Once she was pure as the snow, but O fell, Fell like the snowflaRes from heaven to hell, Fell to be trampled as the flith of the street, Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat. WATER AND LIGHT—Subscriber, Oak- land, Cal. On the subject of the right of municipalities to regulate the price of water and gas the constitution of the State says: *“In any city where there are no public works owned and controlled by the mu- nicipality for supplying the same with water or artificial light, an individual or company duly incorporated for such pur- pose under and by authority of the laws of the State * * * for introducing into and supplying such city and its inhab- itants either with gaslight or other - luminating light, or with fresh water for domestic and all other purposes upon the condition that the munieipal government shall have the rlght to regulate the charges thereof.” From this it appears that the Supervi- sors or City Trustees have the power to fix the price of water, gas and electricity.
