Tulare is simply one part of the charming color that makes the whole sumptuous kaleidoscope At the recent “Oregon day” at the Charlestén ex- position, the orator of the occasion had hardly 100 persons in his audience, and it is recalled that at the Omaha exposition “Massachusetts day” was zbout as slimly attended, though the Governor of Massachusetts was there. From those facts the Springfield Republican draws the conclusion that the people are tired of expositions. It would seem, however, more logical to conclude that the people are tired of State days and State orators, An exposition will pay if there be more exhibits and less talking than Charleston and Omaha put up. There are a good many reasons of course why the’ Kaiser should wish to give us a statue of Frederick the Great, but perhaps Prince Henry after looking at the collection of statues at Washington may have advised his brother to give us one just to show us what a proper statue ought to be. Sir Thomas Lipton has nothing to give for a peer- age, but millions to spend for the America’s cup, and it looks as if he-would neither take what has-been of- fered nor get what he wishes.

Mr. Sidney Adamson, ‘in a communication to Les- lie's Weekly, said that “the civil commission, through its ex-insurgent office-holders and by its continual disregard for the records of nativés ob- tained during the military rule of the islands, has, in its distribution of offices, constituted a protectorate over a set of men who should be in jail or deported.” This statement was reprinted in Freedom, an American nx\'spaper published in Manila, and- de- tails and specifications in proof were printed in that journal and in a Filipino paper at Miau, of which Senor Valdez is the editor. These proofs were specific. They showed among other things that Tec- son, presidente of San Pablo, arrested a large number complicity with the insurrectos. After they had been imprisoned and their lives put in peril under the statute of trea- son provided by the Philippine Commission, he pro- cured their release, one at a time. After all were free it was proved that he made them pay him a large sum of money for releasing them. Of course it was for the purpose of blackmailing them that they were ar- rested. Senor Valdez published proofs of equally grave charges against one of the native members of the commission, Senor Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, and was arrested, imprisoned and fined 800 pesos. The sedition law, under which he was arrested, is an American statute, promulgated by the Philippine Commission, but Valdez and the other editors tried in courts of first instance under the forms of Spanish law. Valdez offered to prove his charges, and no doubt was able to do so, but under Spanish law the rule is that the greater the truth the greater the libel. This is the opposite of the law of libel in this country. Americans in the islands object to being tried by Spanish criminal law for alleged vio- lation of an American statute. They object to the sedition section of the commission’s code because it is an anomaly 'in civil government. For' reprinting Mr. Adamson’s letter and making very temperate comment upon it the American editor of Freedom was arrested by the commission and charged with “scurrilous libel and sedition,” to be tried under Spanish law! Senator Hoar has declared the commission’s statute of treason and sedition to be the cruelest and most unjust law ever enacted by man. It seems to be carrying into civil government all of the severities of martial law. From the proofs offered by Senor Valdez and the editor of Freedom it seems perfectly plain that the Filipinos who have been put in authority by the com- mission use these cruel and extreme statutes for the purpose of oppressing, blackmailing and robbing their own countrymen. The same system prevailed under Spanish rule and was the cause of much of the hatred of Spain. We do not think that the commission has intended any such result, but that is the effect of the severe laws it has put in operation. For this reason American rule seems to be only a change of men and not of methods. The situation is made worse and more threatening of permanent trouble by the fact that civilian Ameri- cans in the islands join the native victims of oppres- sion in denouncing the civil government which is ad- ministered on the lines of martial law. In the edi- torial for which the editor of Freedom is under arrest it was said: “The long and short of it is that Amer- icans will not stand for arbitrary government, espe- cially when evidences of carpet-bagging and rumors If civil govern- ment is to be a success in the Philippines there must be a radical departure and a listening to reason and the desires of the people. It would seem in the mat- ter of industrial taxation, the currency and many others the commission has done exactly the opposite of what was desired by the majority of the interests in the islands.” From this and other evidences it is plain that the civil government is between two fires. On one side are the angered and revolutionary natives in armed revolt, and on the other the civilian Americans in moral revolt. If there be any wisdom to spare any- where, it may be used beneficially in the Philippines. ——————r were Curiously enough Palestine, in proportion to its size, is said to be the leading country in the use of automobiles. The explanation of the fact is that the sun is so hot that horses or mules have never been able to do much work there, and the auto fills a want that has been felt since the beginning of time. LAW AND THE LYNCHERS, ENATOR GALLINGER has submitted a reso- S lution instructing the Judiciary Committee of the Senate to make an investigation into the subject of lynching in the United States, with a view to ascertaining if there be any remedy for the of- fense. While it is not apparent what the Federal Govern- ment can do toward the suppression of what has now become ong of the most portentous evils of the coun- try, Senator Gallinger’s resolution will none the less be worthy of adoption. The whole subject should be investigated thoroughly, and if it be possible to find a remedy it should be promptly provided. More than that. If no certain remedy can be found by the Ju- diciary Committee it should do the best it can in the premises and report some remedial act that has a chance at least of standing the test of the Supreme Court. The issue should not be converted into a question of partisanship nor of sections. There will be of course some difficulty experienced in trying to avoid the latter by reason of the greater frequency of Iynch- ing in the South than elsewhere. The Southern peo- ple are extremgly sensitive on the subject. That much was shown at the time Senator Gallinger submitted his resolution, for after he had read an account of the latest Iynching outrage in Texas Senator Culberson of that State rose and read an account of a similar outrage in Kansas as an evidence that the crime™ is not confined to the South. Of course that phase of the issue should not come into the discussion at all. It is not a question where lynchings are most fre- quent, but what can be done to punish those who com. mit them and put an end to those hideous torturings and burnings of human beings by mobs which are becoming so appallingly common. The offenses have become so frequent and have occurred in such widely scattered localities as to ren- der it certain that State law is comparatively power- less to deal with the offenders and bring them to jus- tice. We have just had an example of the-failure of justice in Modoc County, in this State, so we need not taunt other States with the inefficiency of their laws. The erime has, in fact, been perpetrated North and South and East and West and in nearly avarw instance has gone unpunished. It appears, then, that the States cannot effectively grapple with the wrong. Can the Federal Government intervene and do jus- tice? A few days ago we directed attention to a bill now before Congress providing that where a State does not give adequate protection to a citizen the Federal Government might interfere under the fourteenth amendment and punish any and all persons convicted of taking part in the mob that killed a citizen. The constitutionality of the bill is doubtful, but it at least offers a suggestion of a way to put an end to the wrong. Perhaps the Judiciary Committee of the Senate can devise a better way. One thing is certain —something: will have to be done. Lynich law has become a horrible barbarism. It threatens a relapse to savagery and it must be suppressed by some form of law or the law itself will lose the respect of the people. The unspeakable wretch who is in jail at Castroville on a charge of matricide seems to be one of those horrid forms which leap into civilization to tell man of his fearful ancestry and of ages long dead. The beast should be put out of the world as soon as pos- sible. F discussion is now going on as to whether Buf- falo, Cleveland o= Kansds City has the worst railway passenger depot among the larger cities of- the Union and is in most need of a new one. The controversy is interesting, and San Francisco would like to enter as a contestant. = If the St. Louis exposition will offer as a premium a grand passenger depot to the large city in the United States which has the greatest need of it our people would at once get up a series of exhibits showing the Southern Pacific station in this city, with a sanguine expectation of not only winning the prize but distancing competitors. 3 The discussion in the East has arisen out of a wide- spread demand in that section for better accommo- dations for passengers and the general public at rail- way stations. Our railway system is far superior to any other in the world, but it lags behind many coun- tries in the arrangements made for the comfort of passengers at the stations where they depart or ar- rive. In fact, the American railway carries a passen- ger across deserts or wildernesses it may be in a palace car, but lands him in a shanty when he reaches a city of metropolitan pretensions. The three cities named are now working diligently for better depot accommodations. The insufficiency of the Buffalo station was made conspicuous during the exposition last year, and ever since there has been a strong movement in the direction of a better one. At Kansas City it is reported there is a “secret com- mittee” at work trying to bring the various railroads that center in the city to an agreement to construct a grand union depot equal to the needs of the pub- lic. Cleveland has larger plans than either of the others. It is stated that her citizens are seeking to have a new station constructed as one of a group of stately buildings, which are to line a broad, open park extending from the lake front to the heart of the city. A short time ago a dispatch from New York an- nounced that as a result of President Harriman's in- vestigations the Southern Pacific Company would ex- pend upward of $75,000,000 in imprqvernsnts. Out of that expenditure something should be provided for a proper station in this city. It might even be possible for the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific to combine for a union depot, since it seems certain that such a depot will be required by the development of the city and the roads themselves before many years are over, Municipal evolution in the United States is, in fact, going forward with such rapidity, and is accompanied by such a universal demand for more beautiful as well as more prosperous cities, that railway officials must sooner or later conférm to public desire and make railway stations attractive, commodious and noble, The time when the larger cities of the country were content with ramshackle structures for passenger sta- tions has passed away. San Francisco in all serious- ness should enter herself as a rival of Buffalo, Cleve- land and Kansas City, not as to which has the worse station, but as to which can most speedily obtain a better one. QUESTION OF B3TATIONS, ROM our Eastern exchanges we learn that a B THE DUTY OF REGISTRATION. T the meeting of the Republican State A Central Commi‘ttee on Saturday resolutions were adopted calling attention to the delay of voters throughout the State in enrolling themselves | upon the great register so as to assure to themselves the right to vote. They call upon county comm l‘es, Republican clubs and the Republican press to urge registration at once. The resolutions are timely and pertinent. It is to be hoped they will be acted upon. There is to be a complete new registration this year. Every citizen must register or forfeit his right to vote. 'If the registration be attended to now it can be done readily and quickly. If it be postponed until the rush of belated ones throng the registration office it will be more or less annoying and will en- tail a loss of time in waiting at the office. The campaign is not only to be an important one, as all campaigns are in this country, but it is also to be a close one. The Democratic party, divided as it is on well nigh every issue before the country, is united in the desire to carry the election and get pos- session of the offices. It is what is' known as an off year, and in such years opposition parties have always been dangerous. Should any considerable number of Republicans fail to register we may lose one or perhaps more Congressmen. Moreover State politics in California has always been uncertain. Re- publican Governors have alternated in office with Deniocratic Governors for a long time past. The Re- publican party can afford to take no chances this year. The duty of registration is imperative. It is im- posed upon every citizen. An especial responsibil- ity rests upon good citizens. Unless that class of voters register the bosses will have their way at the polls. The duty should be 4ttended to at once. Do not wait until after the holiday. Register now. The United States courts have decided that people riding on passes may receive damages for injuries re- ceived on railroad trains. This decision, however, is not expected to be an encouragement to suicide where the danger of death is so frequently imminent, Out of Cuba we have emerged with dignity and honor, having the gratitude of the ‘people and the ad- mization of the world, but there is no telling how- we will emerge from the Philippines, 3 !

The bride's home, 306 Page street, was hand- somely decorated. The color scheme was pink and white. Pink carnations pre- dominated in the drawing rooms and the dining-room was fragrant with orange blossoms. Follage was effectively inter- spersed with the flowers. The bow win- dow, where the bridal party stood, was converted into a bower of roses. The bride was attended by Miss Kate Dillon, maid of honor, and Miss Florence Wool- sey and Miss Elizabeth Brice, flower girls. Mr. Frank B. Goewey, the bride's brother, was best man. Rev. Bradford Leavitt performed the ceremony. The: bride was charming in an elegant gown of white tulle over silk. The bridal veil of white tulle was caught in the hair with orange blossoms. The bouguet was of white orchids. The maid of honor was handsemely attired in pink mousseline de sole over silk and carried white roses. ‘The little flower girls were daintily wned in pink silk and carried baskets of ‘baby roses of the same color. The bride, one of the most popular girls in the smart set, is well known in thig city as the daughter of the late cap- italist, James M. Goewey. The groom is a resident of Oakland and a director of the Berkeley Bank of Savings and Cen- tral Bank of Oakland.

PICKETT AT GETTYSBURG-J. W. L., Tuttletown, Cal. In an article en- titled “Battles and Leaders of the Civil War” contributed by E. Porter Alexander, brigadier general, C. 8. A., who on the last day of the battle of Gettysburg was of Longstreet's reserve artillery in com- mand of a battalion of twenty-six guns, says among other things: “And that Gen- eral Longstreet might know my intention I wrote him only this: ‘General: When our artillery fire is at its best, I shall or- der Pickett to charge.”” Further in his narrative he has: “Then I wrote to Pick- ett: If you are coming at all, you must come at once, or I cannot give you proper gupport.”” In another part he says of Lorgstreet and Pickett: “Pickett saluted and saild, ‘I am going to move forward, sir,” galloped off to his division and Im- mediately put it in motion.” Longstreet corroborates this. So it appears that Pickett was with his division in its mem- orable charge. ORGANIZING A BANK-—Reader, Ver- ona, Cal. The organization of a bank un- der'a general law, State or national, is a simple matter. Articles of association are drawn up In accordance with the statute of the State or the act of Congress. In either, the form is nearly always pre- scribed. These articles recite: The title of the proposed bank; the amount of its capital stock, the number of shares Into whieh it is. divided and the amount of each. Usually these articles contain the names of the first directors and are signed by them, the act of sub- scription including their election. Each subscriber to the capital stock places op- posite his name the number of shares he desires. When the capital stock is all taken up a certificate of organization must be filed with the Secretary of State, and a certified copy thereof with the Clerk or Recorder of the county in which the bank is located. Generally a publica- tion of the articles of association is made necessary by State law. —_—— P? Going to Thunder Mountain PP The Northern Pacific Railway is the best. cheapest and quickest route.
