UDITOR BAEHR in his estimates for* the A ensuing fiscal year just submitted to the Board of Supervisors says: “I have allowed the Police Department, approximately, 100 additional patrolmen, thereby giving the now overworked men eight-hour shifts. By this addition to the force the city can be better patrolled and the lives and prop- erty of citizens afforded more protection. 1 have carefully revigwed all the needs of the department and do mot tl:\sider that the extra sergeants and corporals and the $10,000 for a patrol-boat asked for are available or necessary at this time.” Upon these points, and particularly the last,-Chief of Police Wittman, a competent authority, disagrees from the Auditor. Whether the additional 100 men allowed for will be sufficient to bring the force up to what the needs of the city require is for experts to decide. At the present time the men are overworked and some of the beats are excessively long. An increase of the force is imperative, and in providing for it every need of the department should be given full consid- eration. Of late crime in .San Francisco has been altogether too frequent, and the blame for. it can- not be justly laid upon the police, for the men have been faithful and energetic despite the long hours and the iong patrols imposed upon them. While the Auditor may be right in estimating that an increase of 100 men will be sufficient, there can be no question that he is in error in deciding that a patrol-boat is not necessary at this time. There is no need of the department more urgent than that of providing for an effective patrol of the water front, and that patrol can be made effective only by providing the police with the means of patrolling the front on water as well as on land. San Francisco is perhaps the only civilized seaport of any size in the werld that is lacking in 2 com- plete outfit for water patrol, and yet there is hardly any city where one is more needed. The water front of San Francisco is extensive and a large amount of property is established along it. Of late there have been repeated evidences that thieves approaching the wharves from the water can ply their trade with an almost absolute impunity by reason of the fact that they cannot be seen by a patrol on the street no matter how vigilant may be his watch. In several instances of late the thieves have rowed their boats under the wharves and from that point of safe concealment have cut holes through the flooring of warehouses or stores and plundered them while running hardly any risk at all of detection by the patrolmen walking along the streets. The recommendation for a water patrol has been frequently made by the Police Department, but the recommendation has been always set aside as un- necessary. It seems to be the opinion that as we have done without such a patrol in the past we can continue to do without it. That opinion, however, is based upon nothing except a stagnant conservatism. The property along our miles of water front is in- creasing in value and is entitled to adequate pro- tection. The need for it is urgent and it should be granted without further delay. The young fellow of this city who fired a shot at his wife the other day and now rests free from prose- ention because of the refusal of his spouse to prose- cute must have some peculiarly seductive method of fmpressing the lady with the virtues of wifely sub- mission. ! DEMOCRATS GETTING TOGETH_ER. REPORTS from Washington, New York and Boston show that the Eastern and Southern Democrats are rapidly getting together and will make a formidable fight in the Congressional elections this year, and may possibly achieve suc- cesses that will render them even more formidable in the Presidential contest of 1904. The movement is in the direction of free trade, and it is quite probable the country may have to undergo the disturbing agi- tations of another fight on the protective system un- der which our industries have been built up. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says: “The harmony movement originated in the Senate, which is the hotbed of the reaction against Bryan. It is not too much to say that there is not a single thick-and-thin Bryan man left in the Senate. The harmony movement is not the off- spring of any ‘gold bugs’ or ‘traitors.” It procéeds from men who have hitherto been counted as Bryan's strongest supporters, and they are advising followers to - disregard his counsels. While these men are engineering this movement, they have no .intention of putting the South unduly forward or grabbing at the honors. What they want is national victory, first in 1902 ard then in 1904. They have be- come convinced that all hopes of making important inroads in the West are rainbows, and that to win they must have the East and what they can get of the central States.” Having thus obtained the support of the South, the Eastern Democratic leaders and organs are rap- idly formulating a campaign on a platform of two planks—anti-protection and anti-imperialism. The party has no affirmative programme to offer. It { will enter the contest strictly as a party of opposi- tion. That fact, however, does not weaken its chances. In fact, it is perhaps more dangerous by confining itself to opposition than it could be by at- tempting to defend an affirmative platform. One of the significant features of the movement is the application that has been made by Representa- tive Griggs of Georgia, chairman of the Congres- sional campaign commiittee, to leading Democrats in the East for counsel and assistance instead of turning to Bryan and his Western Populists. Hill, Whitney, Olney, Lamont and men of that type have been sum- moned to the party councils, and the Bryan follow- ing has been ignored As a result of this movement there is an increased activity in Democratic circles, and it is certain Democracy is not going into the campaign either as a demoralized or a hopeless party. Some of their political experts are already figuring out'the election of a Democratic House of Representatives. It is known that a considerable number of Republicans in the present House were elected by very narrow ma- jorities, and a small amount of discontent growing out of the Cuban reciprocity treaty or some other blunder of‘the kind on the part of Republican leaders may bring about the defeat of several of them. In addition to the gains hoped for through Re- publican mistakes the Democrats are counting largely upon the inevitable desire of a considerable number of the people for a change. It is pointed out that in the fourteen Congressional elections that have taken place in the last twenty-eight years the Democrats have been successful eight times and the Republicans - six times; that in no case has either party carried the House in three successive elec- tions except in those that have followed since 1804. Bryanism put the Demecratic party virtually out of the field in the East, and so long as Bryan was the recognized leader of the party it had no chance; but now that he is set aside it is believed by sanguine Democrats that the law of mutability in the public mind will reassert itself and Democracy will win. Such reasoning may not be very sound, but there is enough in the situation to warn Republicans that they cannot.afford to make blunders nor to count upon Democratic blundering. The split in the party on the Cuban reciprocity question, involving, as that measure does, something of surrender of pro- tection principles, is cminous of disaster. The effort to force the renomination of Gage is perilous so far as this State is concerned. In short, it is time fof Republicans to take heed of what they are doing. The Democrats are really uniting, and Republicans must not divide. An interesting story comes from South Africa to the effect that when the Irish residents of Bloemfon- tein were making arrangements for their St. Pat- rick’s day banquet they decided to invite all com- mandants of British posts in the neighborhood who are of Irish birth, and thereupon it was discovered that “all the commandants within a radius of sixty miles from Bloemfontein are Irishmen.” The jubi- lant company resolved to form a South African Irish Association, and it looks as if it might take in very nearly every officer in the British army. P ers’ and Producers’ Association has once more called the attention of the Native Sons to the opportunity now afforded them as an order to ad- vance the welfare of the industries of California. In fact, the work which is now under way for the im- provement and development of the State is one in which the Native Sons’ organization is peculiarly fitted to assist. That association is made up of young men who have the highest interests in Cali- fornia, and whose zeal on its behalf can be drawn from native patriotism as well as from an intelligent sense of business advantage. In his letter to the delegates to the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons President Sbarboro says: “At this moment, when the commercial organizations, the press and citizens generally, from one end of the State to the other, are actively working to build up the State, and when the orders of the Elks and the Knights of Pythias are moving to. make our re- sources better known throughout the United States, it would seem that a great opportunity is presented to the Native Sons of the Golden West to take the lead in measures to develop the industries of the State, and we beg to express the earnest hope that the Grand Parlor may, at its coming session, take further action on the subject and such as shall be calculated to induce the widest activity among the parlors and to produce results of practical value to the State.” 3 It can hardly be doubted that this appeal will find a cordial response from a majority at least of the as- sociation. A large number of the leading men in the order have long since realized that the associa- tion must become something more than a social organization and must have higher objects than that of festivity and the development of fraternal senti- ments. It must take a leading part in the earnest and strenuous work of upbuilding the State. Cali- fornia, with all its golden realities and its abundant INCREASE THE HERITAGE, RESIDENT SBARBORO of the Manufactur- l their duty to cultivate and improve it'to th§ highest degree. The general movement now started to ad- vance the whole State is their opportunify. They should make full use of it and set all their energies to work to profit by it. Maxim has just submitted to the inspection of the British War Office a new war machine described as “a sort of land battleship.” It is a heavily armored car mounted with four guns, and, while designed mainly for coast defense, it is adaptable for service in the field, and it is said “it can go anywhere.” The War Office ought to give it a trial chasing Boers. B L — COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC. P. AUSTIN, chief of the Bureau of Statis- O tics, recently delivered before the Na- * tional Geographic Society at Washing- ton a lecture on the commerce of the Pacific, which, while containing nothing new on that much dis- cussed subject, is none the less interesting as pre- senting a summary of the latest developments in the commerce of the Pacific given by a first-class authority. Mr. Austin began by pointing out that it is onty in the last few years the American people have turned their attention seriously to a consideration of for- eign commerce. The attention of our capitalists has been mainly occupied in the past by the construc- tion of railgvays through the interior of the country and the development of the rich regions opened up by them. Of late, however, our. production has out- run the local demand and there is now a desire for new markets. With the awakening of that desire there has naturally come an increased attention to the Orient. Of late years the progress of American trade with China and the Orient generally has been remark- able. Mr. Austin says: ““We have made much more rapid gains in the commerce with the Orient than any other nation, our exports to the Orient having grown from $40,000,000 in 1891 to $115,000,000 in 1001, an increase of 180 per cent, while the total ex- ports were increasing but 50 per cent. Our imports from the oriental countries increased during the same time from $§05,ooo,ooo to $162,000,000, an increase of | over 50 per cent, while the total imports of the coun- try were increasing but 10 per cent.” Commercial relations between the United States and the countries of the Orient are bound to be mutually profitable because we produce what they need, and their products.are mainly of a kind which do not compete with otr own. Thus it is pointed out that in the year 1901 the importation into this country of tropical and subtropical products amounted to nearly $460,000,000, or almost one-half the total im- ports jof the United States. They consisted mainly of such articles as raw silk, indiarubber, fibers, cab- inet and dye woods, tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. On the other hand, those countries are importing goods which we produce and for which we are now looking for markets. 2 Furthermore Mr. Austin says: “In the great currents of air and water traversing the Pacific the conditions are especially favorable to the United States. The fact that a great current of water and air flows westerly across the Pacific Ocean from about the mouth of the proposed isthmian canal by way of the Hawaiian Islands to the Philippines, thence turning northward past the great commercial centers of Asia—Shanghai and Yokohama—swing- ing across the Pacific in the vicinity of the ‘Great Circle,’ the shortest route across the ocean, thence down the western coast of the United States and past our chief Pacific Coast cities to the very point of be- ginning, seems to give special advantages to the com- merce between the two sections. The distance from Brito, at the western end of the proposed Nicaraguan canal, to Manila, following the equatorial currents of air and water, via the Sandwich Islands, is in round numbers 10,000 miles; and from Manila back to Brito, via Shanghai, Yokohama and San Francisco, 10,500 miles, thus giving to the vessels engagedsin that commerce the advantages of favorable air and water currents during the entire voyage, and prac- tically at all periods of the year.” PALMA AND HIS TASK RESIDENT-ELECT PALMA has been re- P ceived in Cuba with what are reported to be universal acclamations. If the followers of Gomez and others who protested so vigorously against the methods by which he was elected have shown any signs of discontent the reports have ig- nored them. So far as told everything has been lovely. On his arrival at Holguin he was received by 6000 natives and proceeded to the City Hall followed by a pro- cession two miles long. American troops formed the escort of honor, and after them came pretty girls wearing liberty caps, waving banners and strewing flowers on the way. It was a fit beginning for a new republic in a land of flowers, a right welcome to a long exiled patriot. A touch of dramatic climax closed the day when the President-elect was con- ducted in honor to the same room in what was then the palace of the Spanish general where twenty-five years ago he had beer: confined as a prisoner. Palma will find his entrance upon the government of the island as easy as his entrance to the island.it- self. For a long time past preparations have been made for his coming, and everything has been ar- ranged so that the new government will be started as easily as a ship is launched from a well regulated shipyard. The American authorities in the island have fixed everything down to the slightest detail. The machinery of administration is all in good order and has been thoroughly tested. All that Palma will have to do will be to take the oath of office, show himself at a grand inaugural parade and fiesta, and then take his seat, touch a button and tell the offi- cials to resume business. So far everything will be simple, but sooner or later difficulties will arise. Even in the best regu- lated governments there are troubles, and the regu- lations in Cuba have the defect of being military regulations imposed from without by an alien power. The machinery of the administration will start smoothly, but it will not run far before it. meets ob- structions. Every one wishes the new President success, but it is by no means improbable that he may be back at Central Valley, in the good State of New York, much sooner than he expects. Nicaragua has found a unique method of raising funds with which to run the Government, provoke revolutions and make itself generally disagreeable. It imprisons its wealthy citizens without cause and keeps them in jail until they pay heavy liberation money. A Chicago professor says the weddidg ring is a survival of barbarism, a badge of servitude and sym- bol of slavery, but it is ten to one his wife doesn’t promise, is the heritage of the Native Sons, and it is jlook at it in that way. “APRIL 25, 1902.

"|GOSSIP FROM LONDON WORLD OF LETTERS lke those -of 1 have already publisher 13 Opinions. of publishers, doctors, differ sometime: mentioned ‘'how timorous a about launching forth to any great extent until after the coronation ceremonies, but Grant Richards expresses his entire disbeltef In the theory that the coromation will prejudicially affect the book u-ndbe. He believes the only reason there can be for a smaller output of books this year than in previous years is that authors are not writing books. Publishers feel justl- fled in risking their money in pubilshing, but naturally no books will be issued just at coronation time. Afterward, however, there is the probability of an early be- ginning of the holiday season, which i3 always a good time for the sale of books. The chief fnterest has, I think, centered among the reading public during the last | few days in the announcement of Messrs. Methuen, of their being about to publish another romance by Marie Corelll. At any rate, they say the manuscript will be In their hands some time in May, and the book will be out some time during the summer. It will be remembered tifat the “Master Christian,” Miss Corell's last book of importance, was published al- most two years ago, but what is now puzzling people very much is the an- nouncement by the publishers that the new book “deals with a subject whick has never been treated in fiction, and ultimately touches certain points which for some time have been uppermost n the minds of many people.” What can this be? is the question. is certainly a hard ome to answer. The war in South Africa, the increased income tax, the Japanese alliance, ping- pong, are all topics which have been up- permost in most minds, but they have all been more or less dealt with in fiction, the last named especially. There is no end to fiction about it. Now, as Miss Corelll is so good In keeping a secret, the public will probably have to possess their souls in patlence till the date of publica- tion is fixed. There is quite a thrill at the mere pos- sibllity of a hitherto unknown work by John Milton coming tafiight. This possi- bility certainly applies to a book which Murray is to publish in the autumn. It js an anonymous romance in prose and verse, written in the time of Charles L It is therefore contemporary with Milton, and the internal evidence of its being written by him is said to be remarkable. It is to the credit of a London non- conformist minister, the Rev. Walter Begley, to make this literary find. He came upon it in an ancient tome where it appears to have lain undiscovered for so long. After a full study of the work and all the circumstances bearing upon it he feels entitled to attribute it, “until fur- ther evidence, to the illustrious John Mil- ton.” The romance has the long title, “Nova Solyma, the Ideal City of Zion; or, Jerusalem Regained.” H. B. Irving, who in the intervals of acting, has written a book on Judge Jeff- reys and famous criminals, is contem- plating another work of much the same order. Irving was, as all the world knows, a barrister before he went on the stage. It was his legal training which ¢reated this interest in criminals, both judicial and lay. It Another Defect in Charter. City Attorney Lane advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that the appil- cation of M. Adrian King for a franchise to operate a telephone system can be granted only in accordance with the legislative act. Lane holds that the pro- visions of the charter do not govern the granting of a franchise for a telephone and telegraph system, as there are no provisions of th& charter in any manner referring to such a franchise.
