OSURES resulting from a controversy C over an alleged conspiracy to stifle bids for | supplying sewer pipe to Eureka have | ht to light facts which are of interest to the S One of the parties involved in the of the controversy is Sterling A. Campbell, Collector of the Port. He has been for some time one of the foremost of the minor bosses of the Gage camp and it is upon him that Gage re- | nt dglegation from Hum- | lies to obtain a s boldt County to the Republican State Convention. It is for that reason the whole State has an interest in the Eurekd disclosures. They furnish to the pub- lic a rev s;;J‘;ux: of the local repute of a typical Gage bo! - The “allegations of crooked politics on the part of Campbell are many and various. Senator Selvage has reviewed the part Campbell played at a time when the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company sought to obtain perm n for extending its lines in Eurel In his statement Selvage says Campbell called at his office and: “He then stated to me that the City Council could be handled if the telephone sompany wished to extendeits plant and improve its system. I asked him how, and he told me that for eration of $1000 each for three Councilmen and a sa lement with C. S. Milnes the matter could be settled.” Further statements of Senator Selvage show how Campbell sought to deicat the reappointment of J. F. Thompson as,receiver at the Land Office at Eu- reka. In that scheme it is alleged that Campbell sought to induce Selvage to write to Senator Perkins and others at Washington indorsing an opponent of Thompson, one John Bull, and to have said: “Pos- sibly it would be a good thing to bring Senator Per- cins to time and give him to understand that he would not get any votes from Humboldt County un- he took the dictation of Bull and Campbell.” Other statements made by such men as Arthur W. Hill and Stephen Hill, attorneys at Eureka, and 5y W. N. Speegle, business manager of the Standard, show Campbell's methods of doing politics and his reputation in the county. Another gentleman, W, I. S. Hadley. referee in bankruptcy for Humboldt County ard for a long time secretary of the Repub- ican County Committee, says in an affidavit: T said Sterling Campbell has improperly inter- meddled with the conduct of primary elections in this sounty; that at such primary elections he has put up felegates who were pledged to a large extent to do his $idding; that he uses money.prior to and at such pri- mary elections to succeed in electing the said pledged lelegates; that with such delegates he claims to control he Republican nomination for nearly every important sfice In the county, and even goes So far as to pledge he county delega n to district or State conventions to aipport or to refuse to support any candidate for nom- nation that he desires; that for his manipulation of sfactory se les srimaries and conventions he has gained for himself the )ame of “Boss Campbell,” and his clique are known as be “push” from one end of this county to the other md are so spoken of in San Francisco; that he and his dique have become notorious and extremely offensive o @ large percentage of the voters of this county, vhich fact has almost disrupted the local Republican rganization here and has set on foot a bitter factional ight. That is the kind qf man who is managing the Gage ampaign in Humboldt. Men of similar character e picked up and recruited by the Gage bosses vherever they can be found. It is upon them the >age conspirators depend to casry through their cheme to get control of the Republican ‘State Con- ention by means of appointed delegates if they can, nd, failing that, then by using the “push” at the wrimaries in the hope of capturing delegates in that vay. It is to be noted that the Gage boss at Humboldt s described as having almost disrupted the Republi- an organization in that county and set on foot a dtter factional fight. The Gage tactics, it will be een, are the same everywhere. The scheme is to ule the party or ruin it by factions. The Eureka evelations afford a timely lesson for Republicans | But they have interests here. THE PROVINCIAL EAST. ECAUSE Californians are a bit bumptious B about their big and great State they are | This taunt, however, is called “provincial.” drawn out by our local loyalty, and has no reason founded in our ignorance of the rest of the Union. To see our own superlative quality we do not have to shut our eyes to everything else. We have al- ways known of the transferable artificial advantages of the East, and have adopted such of them, and as fast, as would serve our purpose and improve our condition. It is the peculiar misfortune of the East that the advantages oi California are inherent; they are natural and fixed, and therefore cannot be trans- ferred. To enjoy them people must come here. Witness the difference! If the East develop any- thing desirable in manufactures or commercial methods we invade no copyright and infringe no patent by importing it for our own use. At the same time what we have in superiority to all the world is non-exportable. Our sun shines only here, and our soil is fixed as the hills. Our matchless scenery will abide until the heavens are rolled up like a scroll, and our seedtime and har- vest will come and cur season of bloom and fruit will be, in defiance of all adoption and fearless of any imitation. These things being so, one is astonished at the provincialism of the Eastern press, which avoids anything bearing upon the fixed and immovable qualities of California, which make this the Prom- ised Land. The chosen people had to cross the Red Sea and traverse the wilderness to find Palestine. That land of milk and honey, full of corn and wine, could not go to Egypt. The exodus had to carry the immigrants to Eshcol and Shiloh, and when pro- vincial Pharaoh chased them he got drowned for his pains and became what Mr. Mantilini called “a demned moist, uncomfortable body.” The “California fruit store,” which hangs its ban- ner out in every Eastern city and hamlet, is our only missionary in those parts, and we owe the Eastern metropolitan press but little for any exertion expos- itory of our virtues. In no other respect is this Eastern provincialism more apparent than in the daily weather reports. These as a rule stop at the Missouri River, and if they, extend to Salt Lake and EI Paso it is either by oversight, a special act of grace, or because of some eccentricity in the weather there that may | make an unfavorable impression by being taken as a constant condition. But the weather from Podunk to Sioux City is elaborately bulletined every day, as if the space between spanned the Union and left no information untold. Californians are the greatest travelers in the Union. They are everywhere East, not to improve their health but to impair it, that they may taste the pleasures of contrast when they come home. They are not of the tourist class, nor are they idlers. They go on business, bear their exile with what patience they may and gladly face westward and come home. They want to see whether rain. is falling on the fields and orchards, and whether the vineyards are purpling in the 'sun. They own argosies at sea and they want to know what signals are flying from San Diego to Cape Mendocino. They want to feel the balm of the home air and scent the sweetness ‘'of the; blessed; flowers, and so they look at the morning weather report to find that it is snowing at Davenport and people are frozen near the stove in Eastport! If an Eastern and his great contentment enhanced by reading in The Call the day’s temperature in Boston, New York, Washington and Chicago. If it be in winter he goes to his window and looks out upon a serene sky to which the flowers look up in a sisterhood of beauty. If it be in summer he reads of the scorch- ing heat in the East, thinks of hectic childhood swel- tering in the cities, puts on his light overcoat and goes to the Cliff House to breathe the cool sea breeze and wonders how any one can live anywhere than here. The Eastern press should immediately reform in this respect. California is part of the Union. Our product has competed with the Black Sea country in controlling the world’s wheat market. Our gold alone enabled the financing of the war for the Union and the resumption of specie payments. Our copper carries the electric spark that lights the nar- row streets of Eastern cities. Our lumber is the hope of the East for shade from the torrid summer and shelter from the Arctic winter. Our fruit is the health-giving luxury of Eastern tables. Our wine maketh glad the heart of man in that section, and our wool protects him from “blasts baith snell and keen.” Our climate is the resort of the anaemic and neurasthenic Eastern people, who have been warped in bending to the extremes of weather, and our scenery on canvas is the brightest ornament of Eastern homes. Therefore why not cease this pro- vincial ignoring of our gifts and graces, our charms and blandishments, and say truthfully that we are the handsomest sister in the family, as good as she is beautiful? At a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women one of the speakers advised. girls to fit themselves for the posi- tion of “scientific housekeepers,” and as that seems to be no more than a new name for wife probably a good many of them will follow the counsel. CHILD LABOR IN THE EAST. HILD LABOR in the Southern States has ‘ rightly occupied a good deal of public atten- tion of late, for it constitutes one of the most serious industrial evils of that section of the coun- try. It now appears, however, that the attention of those interested in suppressing that form of labor must be turned in other directions as well as toward the South, for recent disclosures have brought to light the fact that there is a good deal of child labor going on in the most progressive States of the East itself. The exposures have been made mainly in New Jersey and in Pennsylvania. Each of those States has statutes restricting the employment of children in factories, but the laws, it seems, are not enforced. It is stated that in New Jersey the inspectors déclare the manufacturers deceive them as to the age of the children, and the manufacturers when summoned to answer declare the parents practice deception upon the foremen of the factories and get their children employed by misstating their ages. The excuses are perhaps the best that can be made, but as the inves- tigation has disclosed that in some of the glass fac- tories, for example, a2 number of children were found who are under eight years of age, it would seem that both the manufacturers and the inspectors were very hroughout the State. The party must combine gainst the bosses and beware of their efforts at fac- fonal strife. willing to be deceived. In Pennsylvania they have a better means of evad- man sojourn in California his comfort is increased 1 ! SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1902 manufacturers or the parents. The official inspector simply gives information to the manufacturers when an inspection is to be made and upon that day the children are given a holiday. That seems a big im- provement on the New Jersey plan, but the effect is the same. The law.is violated and young children are forced to bear a burden of labor which is as bad as anything reported of the Southern States. It is always difficult to enforce laws of this kind. Where the workers are not strong enough to fight their own battles and protect their own rights it is difficult to get justice done. Just for that reason, however, the laws that are made for the protection of the weak should be most carefully enforced by those in authority. Now that the officials of New Jersey and Pennsylvania have obtained evidence of the vio- lation of the child labor laws it is to be hoped they will set an example for all other States by bring- ing the offenders promptly to justice and meting out to them the full penalty of the violated law. e s e — ‘When Mrs. Jack Gardner built her Venetian “pal- ace” in their city the Bostonians looked upon it as a freak, but the Boston Herald says that since it has “settled into being” it makes the colonial mansions in the neighborhood look like thirty cents; and it is beginning to be believed that Mrs. Gardner is a reformer in architecture and the Boston of the future may be the Venice of America. —— e, JEFFERSON AND MONTEZUMA. S was expected, the omnibus bill providing for A the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma has brought out a great deal of opposition from the extreme Eastern men. So far as that opposition is direct it has been discounted in advance and hardly needs further comment. There have been offered to the bill, however, two amend- ments that are ‘at least interesting. One proposes to combine Arizona and New Mexico to form a State of Montezuma, and the other to unite Oklahoma and Indian Territory to form a State of Jefferson. It is not likely that either amendment will be ac- cepted. Arizona and New Mexico have been so long organized as Territories- with their present boun- daries that the majority of the people resident in them have developed a local patriotism and a senti- ment averse either to union with one another or to a change of name. Besides the conjunction of the two would make too large a State for convenience of administration with the present scant means of traveling over wide districts of country in each of them. Even in California the vast size of the area included in the commonwealth tends to develop local prejudices and leads to log-rolling jobs in the Legis- lature between northern and southern interests. The union of Oklahoma with Indian Territory is still more objectionable by reason of the wide di- vergence between the two populations and their civilizations. As has been pointed out in Congress, Indian Territory is without school lands or public highways to any considerable extent, and if the Ter- ritory were annexed the people of Oklahoma would have to divide their school fund and bear a heavy burden in bringing the Territory up to the standard of Oklahoma life. If it be desired to perpetuate as an American State the high-sounding name of Montezuma the best way to do it would be to give that name to New Mexico. TFhe creation of a State bearing the name &f Jeffer- son would receive general approval. That much has been made evident by comments of the press in all sections of the Union. It seems flo more than fair that out of the immense territory his prompt state- craft added to the reépublic one State should be named for him. Possibly Oklahoma might take the name. The chances are, however, that neither project will carry. Jefferson and Montezuma must be content to live in the memory of men and in the names of counties and towns. There is to be no State honor for them. Tillman's speeches have so completely tired the great mass of the American people that little atten- tion will be paid to his latest outburst, but it would seem'that South Carolina at least might attend to it and by retiring Mr. Tillman give the country a rest. O our dealings with the Philippines that has yet been told is contained in the monthly bulletin for May of the Fidelity and Casualty Com- pany of New York. Published as an editorial, it comes from a reliable source and will excite more than usual interest because it shows how near the world came to having an opportunity to see how a great military and diplomatic pgoblem could be set- tled when dealt with by a business man on business principles. The writer for the bulletin says: “There is a man in our nation distinguished for his marvelous suc- cess and for his wonderful use of wealth. Born in Scotland, he came to our land poor and has won distinction here in many ways. This man went to Mr. McKinley when the Spanish treaty was pend- ing and said to him that America was in face of war in the Philippines; that our people and the Filipinos would soon be killing one another; and he asked to be sent to Manila with the fullest authority to declare that America desired good things for the little brown men and would soon recognize their independence. This man said to Mr. McKinley, fur- ther, that he had the matter so much at heart that, if sent on such a mission, he would himself pay the twenty millions of dollars called for by the treaty.” Of course no one can blame McKinley for re- jecting such a proposition. It was altogether too novel and too original for a grave statesman to ac- cept. Still it would have been a most interesting experiment had it been undertaken, and would have been well worth trying. In these days we have had a great deal of humorous discussion of the coming government of the world by business men. News- papers, magazines and comic weeklies have treated the subject in a great variety of ways. It is there- fore interesting to learn that one business man had a serious idea of trying it. An expenditure of $20,000,000 for the purpose of making an experiment that would have been at once philanthropical and political on so grand a scale would have been none too great for a man like Car- negie, and he might have made the investment profit- able. It is not worth while to speculate on what would have been the result. It is sufficient to take the story as an illustration of what our captains of industry are thinking of. Perhaps one day they will have such propositions promptly accepted by Gov- ernments that wish to get rid of troublesome problems. In fact, the time may come when a Gov- ernment will advertise for them. A CURIOUS STORY.

WASHINGTON, May 9.—With a pomp and circumstance exceeding that of any naval funeral in this country, in recent years at least, the remains of William T. Sampson, rear admiral in the United States navy and commander in chief of the United States naval forces on the o North Atlantic station during the war with Spain; were to-day laid at rest. Every department of the National Gov- ernment was represented. The military and naval features of the ceremonies were brilliant and impressive. They were con- ducted under direction of Rear Admiral Terry, commandant of the Washington Navy Yard. The funeral escort was composed of the light battery of United States artillery, commanded by Captain Foote and drawn from Fort Myer; the naval cadets from Annapolis, 247 strong, a corps that never paraded in Washington before, save on several occasions when a President was iraugurated, and a battalion of blue- jackets from the North Atlantic squadron. Rear Admiral Terry, commanding the escort, with his staff, assembled at the church. The cadets swung into line and, headed by the Naval Academy band, marched from the church to the residence of the dead admiral on New Hampshire avenue, about half a mile away. Here the honorary pallbearers were gathered, headed by Admiral Dewey. The remains, borne on the shoulders of eight sailors from the United States ship Dolphin, were placed in the waiting hearse and escorted to the church. As many people as the large edifice possibly could seat were assembled in the body of the church. The first pew to the right of the central aisle was occupled by the President and his family. General Miles sat behind the diplomatic body. To the left of the main aisle the first pew was assigned to the mourners, the members of the Sampson family and thelr closest friends. The Supreme Court sat next, and behind them the select committees from the Senate and the House of Repre- | sentatives and then many individual Sen- ators and Representatives. As the casket, which was closely cov- ered with the blue fleld of the American flag and banked with roses, was lowered upon the bier from the shoulders of the bluejackets the male quartet sang “Lead, Kindly Light.” Meanwhile the mourners, the family of the deceased, save Mrs. Sampson, who was too ill to attend, were seated. Then followed the service, very simple; in fact, little more than the fune- ral ritual of the Presbyterian church. As the benediction was delivered the body- bearers took up their burden, and, fol- lowed by the family of the deceased, the President and his Cabinet, diplomatic boay and many notable personages, the remains were carried out of the church and placed in a hearse. Soon the long funeral procession was on its way to Arlington. The President did not go to the cemetery. As the aqueduct bridge was crossed the guns of the President’s yacht Sylph boomed out a funeral salute of minute- guns. The burial ceremonies were sim- ple, being confined to a prayer for the dead, the reading of a psalm and music. At their conclusion the saluting battery of the Fourth Artillerv stationed outside the gates boomed out three salutes. This salute was in lieu of the usual volleys of musketry. V. PRESIDENT IS ASKED TO SEND AN ORDER Mother of Margaret Taylor Seeks to . Regain Possession of the Child. CINCINNATI, O., May 9.—Mrs. May Tennant Taylor, the mother of Margaret, and her attorney, Thomas H. Darby, have telegraphed both President Roose- velt and Secretary of Btate Hay at Washington requesting them to instruct Embassador Meyer at Rome to ask that Margaret be turned over to the repre- Zentative of the Commercial Tribune, who expects to start for Italy with the official bearing the extradition papers. The Indi- cations now are that the Taylor escort from Europe will include several news- paper men besides the father of Margaret and the.officer. A special from Washington says the State Department has just received a telegram from Consul Pearson stating that Clara Taylor has been arrested by the Italian police authorities and will be held for the American authorities. 'Little Margaret is in safe hands and her speedy return to her mother and father in Cin- cinnati is now assured. The Taylors were identified by Consular Agent Amegeglio of San Remo.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, May 9.—So far as the House could accomplish it three new stars were added to the flag to-day and the Territories of Oklahoma, -Arizona and New Mexico were admitted to Statehood. But there is another story to the legis- lation. The Republicans of the Senate will quietly allow the bill to sleep in committee at the other end of the Cap- itol until after next fall's Congressional elections. Then if the three Territories, in their election of delegates, show indi- cations of remaining good and strong Re- publicans the Senate will take up the bill and pass it. There is a great fear, however, that the increase in population contains ele- ments of Democracy, and unless the Re- publican majority is large enough to be , absolutely safe the Territories will not | be admitted by the Senate. The peopie | of the Territorles are very anxious for Statehood and if voting the Republican ticket will bring them their wish they will probably do as told next fall. The passage of the bill by the House | involves a double defeat for the House ! leaders. Not only did they propose the secret bringing up of the measure, but | it became known to-day that they held a conference among themselves and de- cided to amend the bill by admitting i Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one State and Arizona and New Mexico as ‘another. It was found that Chairman { Knox of the Committee on Territories was | not a party to this conference and both of these propositions were overwhelmingly defeated, one yesterday and the other to-day. The bill passed the House to- day without division. iy ST DEBATE CAUSES ILLNESS. Delegate Smith of Arizona Is Stricken in the House. WASHINGTON, May 9.—Delegate Mar- cus A. Smith of Arizona was taken Il on the floor of the House to-day at the close of a brief but vehement speech on the Statehood bill, in which he is deeply in- térested. Three members of the House, who are physicians—Gilson, Showalter and Ball—attended him and for a time they feared that serious results might fol- low. Smith’ was consclous, but an ex- amination by the physicians indicated that he had been threatened with an apoplectic attack. He was made as com- fortable as possible in the rooms of the House Committee on Pensions. The circumstances of Smith's attack, at | the culmination of the struggle to give Statehood to Arizona, New Mexico and | Oklahoma, attracted unpsual attention tc the case. For several days he had been among the foremost in the debate, and at the moment of the attack he was com- | bating an amendment to the bill. It was believed by the doctors that the intensity of his efforts had brought on the attack. He suffered a slight secondary attack about half an hour after the first one, but it was less serious. The doctors re- mained in almost continuous consultation, being fearful that apoplexy might result. —_— SANTA FE PRESIDENT WILL REFUSE TO OBEY Objection to Ruling of Interstate Commerce Commission Will Cause More Controversy. CHICAGO, May 9.—“My present inten- tion is to ignore the ruling of the Inter- state Commerce Commission.” said Presi- dent Ripley of the Santa Fe system, re- garding complaints made to the commis- sion by the Southern California Fruft Ex- change and the Consolidating Forward- ing Company. After investigating these complaints the commission ruled on April 19 that ship- pers were entitled to designate the rail- roads over which their fruit should be transported. Chairman Knapp dissented from the opinion of the other members of the commission and agreed with the railroads that they had a right to select connecting lines to forward the tfruit shipments to their destination. The railroads claimed before the com- mission that control of the routing of freight by the initial carrier was necessary to prevent the payment of unlawful rebates by their connections in through lines or routes. The fruit- growers contended that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads adopted that pol- icy in order to carry out a pooling agree- ment. If the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads refuse to obey the order of the In- terstate Commerce Commission in these cases the commission .will apply to some Circuit Court of the United States to en- force the order. If the decision of the lower courts is unfavorable to the rail- road companies they will carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. KNOX IS FIRM . IN FIGHT ON. BEEF TRUST Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, May 9.—It is the Govern- ment's intention to file a bill for injunc- tion against the packers in the Federal Court to-morrow. District Attorney Bethea received printed copies of the bill to-day through the mails. Bethea said that Attorney General Knox did ot make any changes of importance in the bill as it was prepared in Chicago. “There were a few changes in words,” sald Bethea, “but they were of a trend to strengthen in a legal sense the charges which we framed. There is an impres- sion that Attorney General Knox sought to soften the charges. The exact re- verse is true. We hope to-morrow to let the public know the full detafls of our investigation and the faets upon which the Government will base its suit.. The case is strong."” Letters that have gone out from the commission men to the shippers advising them not to send cattle to the market during the present agitation have had ef fect, retailers say, and meat that now is being sold to them is cold storage stock of dublous quality. From several reliable retail dealers it was learned that em- balmed meats and poultry are being sold in Chicago. Artificially preserved beef and fowl are not eaten by the poorer classes, but by the wealthy patrons of restaurants and high-class hotels. The process is so perfect that no taint is left on the meat and it looks as fresh as new cuts. An immense saving in the use of refrigerating cars is effected by simply immersing the flesh and shipping it in barrels. One of the reasons given for the embalming process is the alleged agree- ment to purchase and kill stock outside of Chicago during the present agitation against the so-called trust. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 9.—At- torney General Crow announces that he will to-day file his petition before the Supreme Court for ouster proceedings against the Beef Trust, which he belleves is operating in Missourl. He believes the testimony at the hearing before the Su- preme Court Tuesday and Wednesday de- veloped ample evidence to oust or fine the packing companies severely’ for vio- lating the State anti-trust law. The At- torney General says he belleves he will be able to destroy the combine. For the use of Attorney General Knox, who has requested it, a copy of the tes- timony taken at Jefferson City in the re- cent investigation will be sent to Wash- ington for the use of the Federal au~ thorities. MILES WAS WILLING TO BE A PALLBEARER Explanation of Reason the General Did Not Act at Sampson’s Funeral. WASHINGTON, May 9.—Lieutenant General Miles consented, instead of de- clining, to act as honorary pallbearer for the remains of the late Rear Admiral Sampson. It developed to-day that when general arrangements were under consideration it was suggested that the army as well as the navy have representation among the honorary pallbearers. Commander Nathan Sargent was requested to see Lieutenant General Miles and ask him to serve. Lieutenant General Miles as- sented. Subsequently it was determined to conflne honorary pallbearers to naval officers and the commanding general was notified. Lieutenant General Miles to- day attended the funeral ceremonies.
