A of MIXED committee of Congress, composed of members of both parties, arranged the simple but stately memorial service in honor President McKinley. That committee selected Secretary Hay to deliver the memorial address. In all the country no better selection could been made. He Mr. have was a member of Lincoln’s official family when the great President was mur- | dered, and he was the chief of the Cabinet when Mc- Kinley. was martyred. A poet, statesman and ora- tor, with the quality of imagination which could draw out of his closeness to these two great trage- dies every lesson useful to his countrymen and the world, he had been reared under the same condi- tions as the two murdered Presidents, and those conditions he formed into an enchanting background for his address. It was masterly in its simplicity. It went straight to the heart, and quickened every sen- timent of patriotism and humanity in the hearts ®f men The spectacle of 2 nation officially mourning its fallen chief, solemnly dedicating a day to truce in party strife, in order that common interests and the larger things in whick all Americans and all men agree might be considered, was especially inspiring, and Mr. Hay caught its full inspiration and projected | it forward to all who heard and to all who will read his splendid address. After all was done, andythe day had made its due impression, custom left one formality to the leisure znd inclination of Congress. This was the passing of an appreciative resolution by Congress, extend- ing the thanks#of the nation to the orator who had uttered its voice and expressed its emotions. Here was an opportunity for the minority in Congress to blunder, and it was improved. Mr. Champ Clark of Missouri in the patriotism of the address discov- ered partisanship, and when the resolution came be- fore the House a wrangle was brought on. It was inexcusable 2nd most ungracious. We freely say that it was not the sentiment of the hon- est Democratic masses of the country. It was merely znother cvidence of that small and petty leadership which has degraded z once great party. indecent as a quarrel between mourners at a funeral. | But no ccnsideration of propriety deterred the pur- biind promoter of the scene. The day was saved by Hooker of Mississippi, an ex-Confederate, who re- buked the foolish plan and affirmed the freedom of address from p: ability, fitness and propriety. most of the minority was indicated when oniy six Democrzts followed their small leadership by voting against the resclution. The good name of the country suffers from such petty work and such a strabismatic view of party policy. Let us hope that it will not be attempted agzin Aguinaldo is reported to have s2id that if he had known what our government was to be in the Philip- pines he would not have opposed it. If Aguinaldo s now found out what our government is to be he will confer a favor on the United States Scnate by announcing it. Up ‘c date the Senate doesn’t khow what it is to be nor even what it is. The most striking proof of the fearful impression produced among the American people by the vol- canic outburst at Martirique ic the fact that up to this time not a single appiication has been received at Washington for the vacant. consuighip at St Pierre. It is stzted that in the rejoicings of the crowd in London the most popular song not “God Save the King,” but “Dolly Gray,” zud now the next thing we know there will be nothing but “Dolly Gray” humming and strumming in thé United Sthes. It looks as if every Democratic candidate for Con- gress this vear would make his own platform to suit his district. The party has no issue save that of win- ning the offices and no campaign shout except “Get there, EL.” 0 Tribune Building | It was as | peace could have been had last year upon the terms now agreed upon. proposed the banishment of ail the burghers, was re- sponsible for the comntinuance of the war, because it left the Boers no aziternative but to fight. Now the brave fellows get their homes and per- somal liberty and Great Britain pays them fifteen mil- lion dollars for the wanton destruction of their farmsteads, exonerates their property from' any tax to pay the cost of the war, and agrees to loan them for two years, without interest, an indefinite sum to aid in the restoration of their homes and fortunes. They get also their cwn language in their schools and courts, and a prompt substitution of civil for military administration and the installation of the ‘insmutions oi seli-government. In all respects the entire treaty is a distinct vic- tory for the people of the two republics, and when worked out will cause the institution .of a govern- mental system almost exactly like that of Canada. In many important particulars this treaty leaves the Boers in & much better condition than after the Sand River treaty, inasmuch as it removes all doubt about their position and secures for them a far higher de- Cape Colony. That England will observe and carry out in good faith hier part of the convention no one doubts. In s of jubilation in London over y sce evidence that the peo- the extravagant ex the result one may e ple were tired of the struggle and would not have sustained it to the extent of 'submitting to conscrip- tion of soldiers to keep it up. In a military sense the Boers have forced a drawn battle, and in their firm- ness in exacting the most favorable terms ever given under like circumstances is seen their consciousness of ability to indefinitely prolong own the | the result would be in doubt. Turning to the British position, it cannot be de- | nied that it reflects credit upon that nation. From | the standpoint of her Continental enemies she shas | made concessions unworthy of a world power. But the English sense of justice accepts these concessions las right and humane and having those elements which,: after all, are the foundation of true national greatniess. In fine, England has written it into her world policy that right must be the rule, no matter | what others think about it. She is to be congratu- lated upon this conclusion, and the world is to be | felicitated upon the example she sets for others to follow. That example may well impress our éwn country. With President Roosevelt admitting that the future | may disclose independénce of lh“l lipinos as our | proper policy in the Phi and with Senator | Spooner enlarging vpon the same admission, may i not the American pz=cple well consent to think less | about military prestige and more about ending the severe and sanguinaty and costly struggle in the ar- chipelago by now declaring that to be our policy, as | these leaders have admitted that it may be in the future? Senator Morgan’s declaration, made from the Democratic side, that our proper policy is the per- manent subjection of the islanders, holding them in submission by military force because we need their country in our business, is, in its essentials, the same as Kitchener's death or banishment -order of last ar. - May we not prcfitably copy the opposite pol- icy pursued by Great Britain in the Boer settle- ment? A New York man called up a hospital by tele- phone and asked that an ambulance be sent to his residence for a wounded man. He then shot himself, but he made a mistake in his calculations and when they arrived the ambulance men found a corpse in- stead of a sufferer. The incident however serves to show how well ordered things are in a modern city. All would have been right in the case had the man | thought to call up the Morgue instead of a hospital. p—— MISTAKES ALL AROUND. l UT of the affectionate desire of Kaiser Wil- { O helm to be good to us and to show himself congenial to republican institutions there are coming a series of little mistakes that are annoying. We are getting reports about the Kaiser that are not true, and doubtless the Kaiser is getting reports of us that are not true; hence there is likely to be a general misconception arising out of a number of mistakes in themselves so little as to be hardly worth noting. A short time ago it was reported that the Kaiser | would refuse to see Lieutenant Commander Potts, who had been appointed naval attache to the United States Embassy at Berlin, because Potts had made disparaging remarks about Admiral Schiey. The | story was warmly received here. Among the friends of Schley the warmth was that of a true delight. They went about saying: *“The Kaiser is a great man. He knows a hero and he knows how to treat a slanderer of the brave.” The opponents of Schley reccived it with the warmth of indignation, and they went about asking one another what Kaiser Wilhelm had to do with the matter anyhow. It is now stated there is.no truth in the story. A ordinary course of business and the next day his sec- ! retary gave out to the public the imperial denial. It is said the Kaiser wrote on the clipping, “I have never heard of Potts before, and did not know there ! was such a man, and still less that a Captain Potts ! had been ordered to Berlin.” | Another mistake is this: Some one announced in | Berlin that the United States, in grateful recognis | tion of the kindness of the Kaiser in bestowing a | statue of Frederick the Great to adorn Washington City, had decided to give Berlin a statue of Wash- ington. That story roused much admiration in Ber- {lin and people were planning what they would do when the statue of the grand old republican stood { among those of kings and emperors. Some thought they would take a holiday and spend the day doing they would move out of town for fear their loyalty { might be corrupted. That story also has been contradicted. Tt appears that some men in New York, talking over the Fred- | erick the Great statue, suggested it would be a good thing to send a bronze Washington in return. They did not offer to do it, ‘however, and so Berlin need not sit up at nights waiting for the statue to come. Finally it is reported that when Prince Heary was here he said to some American military men in Washington, *“I wouid like you to see our autumn maneuvers.” The military men took that as an in- vitation, and accordingly our Government set about imaking arrangements for the visit. The matter, how- Kitchener's harsh ofrder, which | | gree of independence than is enjoyed by their kin in | !\\'ar. and the admission of Milner and Kitchener that | clipping containing it was sent to the Kaiser in the | reverence to the republican, while others thought | | ever, turned out to be a mistake. Henry was merely expressing a wish that the military men could see | the maneuvers. He was not inviting them to be present. In fact, he has no authority to give such an invitation. Only the Kaiser can do that. ! So the thing goes from mistake to mistake, until in the end we may desire to be able to say of the Kaiser what he said of Potts and wish we had never known there is such a man The retirement of Nixon from Tammany Hall up- sets the apple cart of the reorganizers who were counting on a united Democracy in New York to help them sidetrack Bryan. As the matter stands now the smile is on the face of the man in Nebraska. THE DANGER LINE. HE Chicago strike seems to be nearing the T danger line. The stubborn fights on Monday between the police and strikers indicate that !'the elements involved are charged with possibilities 1of a storm that will require more power than the city can command to control it. The affair has reached a point at which it re- sembles the investment and siege of a city by de- priving its people of the necessaries of life. Food | and fuel are being taken away from the people, aind the attempt to supply them is obstructed by a force that numbers thousands. The population of Chicago | is especially adapted to such a passionate movement. Americans are in a minority there, and the majority is made up of that peculiar immigration of which we have for years received an excess from Continental ! Europe. We do not enter into the merits of the labor dis- pute in that city; indeed but little seems to be known outside about the cause of the struggle. All that is definitely known is that reason seems to be entirely absent from any effort to settle it, and force is appealed to by both sides. Leaving all that out, the streets of an American city should be made safe for all orderly people who must use them in doing the ordinary business upon which depends the life of the community. In this country the law is the supreme ruler, and when the law abdicates, or ‘is powerless to rule, comes chaos. It is very fortu- nate that in the preliminary struggle no shot was fired by the police. The force scems to have been well controlled, and the men to have admirably re- frained from other use of their revolvers than as clubs. This abstention may have left open the way to peace that will leave the two battles of Monday the i only disorder in the history of the strike. The au- thorities should not forget that they are dealing with an clement {hat is not trained in line with our institutions at all. Tens of thousands of people in that city do not speak the English language. They need not be blamed for not knowing that in this | country the law determines and limits every man’s rights, and that the only force that may be used is in securing to every man his legal privileges. Un- der our system, properly administered, it is just as impossible for one man to deprive another of his legal rights as it is for another to deprive him of them. The exertion of mob force is an attempt at such deprivation, and the administrators of the law have no choice except to resist such force to the last ex- tremity. In the violent incidents of the strike in Chicago Americans see the need for the organization. and methods of the Civic Federation as a reasonable ar- biter between the contending forces. Mr. Franklin MacVeagh, who is at the head of that body in Chi- cago, is a wise and reasonable man, who may be trusted to secure justice, peace and order, if there be any on the strikers’ side authorized to meet him and with power to enforce obedience to a decision. P Ii all reports are true the great steamship trust or- ganized by Morgan is going to have its stock so heavily watered that the trust' may have to buy the ocean so as to be ready for liquidation at any time. 7 OXFORD IS TRGUBLED. HILE there may be many points pf simi- larity between the American and the Brit- U v ish people, there are certainl} some very notable points of difference. One of those differ- cnces has been brought out first by the hesitation of the University of Edinburgh to accept Carnegic’s large gift for the promotion of free education, and { more lately by reports that Oxford is troubled by the large endowment left for the Cecil Rhodes scholar- ships. No American university would be troubled by such endowments. Even the smallest of our col- leges would accept an offer of $10,000,000 on almost any terms, and if it could not exactly meet all the requirements it would at least make a stagger at doing so and hold on to the money. Edinburgh, however, hesitated and halted before the Carnegie donation until the -onor kindly changed the terms on which it was to be given, while Oxford is per- plexed to know what she will do with the additional students that will be brought to her colleges by the new endowments, and in her perplexity is cailing the attention of the world' to the fact that she is not rich. The London Times says it “cannot but fill many minds with an uneasy misgiving as to the financial ability of the university to rise to the full height of the large responsibilities certain to be imposed upon it as a consequence of the Rhodes bequest.” As an explanation of these misgivings it is stated that for the last fiscal year there was a deficit in the univer- sity finances of something more than $8oco. It is that shortage that frets Oxford. The venerable | university ponders the thought and the fear that if she cannot meet current expenses now her condition when she has to furnish instruction for a large addi- tion to the number of her students will be that of a bankrupt institution. A problem of that kind would hardly fret an Amer- ican college in any but the poorest and most sparsely settled districts of the country. Great Britain is rich and populous. Edinburgh and Oxford have among their graduates some of the richest men in the world. pWhy should they not raise the money needed by their alma mater to meet such emergencies? Why | fret over the lack of $8000 when there is all London to appeal to? That trait of character exhibited by the authcrities of Edinburgh and Oxford is British, and shows no slightest kinship to Americanism. | ————— Democratic State headquarters in New York are to be established this year at Albany instead of New York City, and the fact is stated as an evidence that David Bennett Hill.is still in the ring, but working like =2 mole. The postponement of the St. Louis exposition will not fret the Federal Commissioners. Their salaries continue right along, and they don’t care if the ex- position never comes off. GRA — = ND OFFICER WILL | BE GIVEN RECEPTION 3 BISHOELL THOTO HE reception that is to be tendered I to Grand Secretary Miss Laura J. Frakes, on the evening of the 9t inst. in the Maple room of the Pal- ace Hotel by Dr. A, Florence Tem- ple, assisted by a committee of one from each of the local parlors, past officers and others, promises to be a very enjoyable affair, despite the fact that on the same night some Native Daughters | will 8o on a trolley ride and have a sup- per at the Cliff and that one of the par- i lors will give a ball. Dr. Temple, who is a member of Darina Parlor, has been a great admirer of the manner in which Miss Frakes has conducted the affairs of her office, and after consultation with a number of members of the order conclud- ed that it would.be a graceful thing to tender her a reception to show her that her werk for the rorder is. appreciated. All Native Daughters will be welcome. Last Wednesday night Grand President Mrs. Baker instituted a new bparlor at Vallejo. It has heen named Liberty and ite number is 37. A new parior to be known as No. 134 was instituted l;\sl week at Sierraville by District Deputy ‘Ida Sinnott of Downie- ville.

HUMBOLDT President Soule of the Bank of Eureka has written to Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade proposing to have included i the display of the products of Humboldt County in this city, to be shortly Instituted, some interestihg relics of Ulysses S. Grant when he was a cap- tain of the United States army in Cali- fornia. President Soule writes that Cap- tain Grant, afterward general-in-chief of the armies and President of the United States, was stationed about six months at Fort Humboldt in 1853-54. There were | then about twenty bulidings at the fort, | of which all n down. Of the two remaining, one stands on the brow of, the hill upon which the fort stood. Some years ago some of the singles from the historic roof were se- cured and théy have since been carefully preserved in Eureka. They are a shaved shingle, so writes President Soule, and were put on when the building was erect- | ed in 1852. An aflidavit exists to the fact that the shingles were put on the roof in that year. President Soule proposes to Manager Filcher, who approves of the plan, to have at least one ‘of the shingles exhibited in the rooms of the State Board of Trade in this city. The relic will be placed under a glass in a case and to it will be fitted a handle so that it can be turned to exhibit both sides. In the same room will be placed a photograph of the tormer Fort Humboldt. The shingle will illustrate his- ‘tory and at the same time be an eloquent testimonial concerning the durability of the iumber of Humboldt County. PERSONAL MENTIO _A.

The committee of NORTH COAST COUNTIES PLAN TO ORGANIZE The northern coast counties+of Califor- nia will probably have a North Coast Cecunties’ Association. Such is the plan that has been originated in Marin County and it bids fair to' be carried to a con- clusion. When that is effected nearly all the sections of the State will be organized for the promotion of their own interests. There is much stir among the live people in Marin County over the subject of mak- ing their resources and ‘advantages known. An organizer has been appointed it every town in Marin County for the purpose of organizing a local board of trade in each town. At Sausalito a gcod organization was effected last Mon- aay night. Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade was present and gave good advice concerning the work to be performed in building up Marin County. On the Zlst inst. a meeting will be held In San Rafael at which all the boards of trade in Marin County will be represented by delegates. Then action will be taken to persuade the Supervisors of Marin County to make an appropriation, under | the law, for the purpose of bringing in a desirable population. Out of this activity has grown the proposition for the forma- tion of the North Coast Counties’ Associa- tion. The counties that wiil be asked to cend representatives to the meeting to be held in San Rafael fqr the formation of the association are Marin, Humboldt, Del Norte, Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa and | Lake. San Rafael is picked out for the meeting place because the delegates from the north, having to come down by water, wiil find it convenient to visit San Ra- fael rather than some point farther in- land, and it will be central for all the ter- ritory in several counties named. | DOES HONOR TO MEMORY - OF A FORMER JUSTICE | Supreme Court Listens to Eulogy on Life of Late Isaac Sawyer Belcher. At the close of Monday’'s session of the Supreme Court, a short sketch of the life and character of the late Justice Isdac Sawyer Belcher, accompanied by briet eulogistic remurks, was presented by members of the bar of the State and by uranimous vote entered upon the minutes of the court to be subsequently printed in the Reports and Decisions. Justice Belcher died in November, 189, while holding the position of an acting ccmmissioner of the court. He came to | this part of the country in the early 50's, [10; the purpose of securing a fortune in the mines. His efforts in that direction were not crowned with very great suc- cess and he turned his attention to law, which he had studied in Vermont in his | youth Justice Belcher .was District Attorney for Yuba County in 1536-7, District Judge of, the old Tenth Judicial District from 1864 to 1869, and Justice of the State Supreme Court from March 4, 1872, to December 31, 1§75. His character was never questioned and he was loved and respected by all with whom he came in contact. I | Committee, who was in charge ! ball to be given in Gola LANHAM SAYS ANARCHY BILL INVITES CRIME WASHINGTON, Juné 3.—The House to- day began consideration of the anarchy bill. The House committee reported a substitute for the Senate {me_asr..lr‘:-.m;-;; irman of the Judic of New York, chairm: %7 the bilk, argued that the Senate biil was unconsti- tutional. Ray explained the differencg between the Senate bill and the House substitute. The purpose of the House bill was to pre tect the President, the Vice President those in the line of the Presidential su cession, and also prevent the entry inty the United States or the naturalization of persons wio preach anarchy or forecibio destruction of government. The impera- tive reason for the passage of this biil was the non-uniformity of State laws for the punishment of homicides. The Senate bill, Ray contended, was un- constitutional because it provided the Geath penalty for the killing of the Prgs:— dent, the Vice President and those in line of succession, without regard to whether at the time they were engaged in the per- formance of theif official duties. Every decision of the Supreme Court on the subject, he said, indicated that Com- gress had jurisdiction to enact laws pun- isking offenses against officers only when they were engaged in the performance of their official duties, and for that reasom the House substitute used the language “any person who unlawfully, purposely and knowingly kills the President while engaged in the performance of his official duties or because of his official character or because of any ®f his official acts or omissiond, shall suffer death.” Lanham of Texas approved that portion of the bill designed to prevent and dis- courage the coming into the United States of all persons who oppose government and seek its subversion. Anarchists, he said, should have no place in a free govern- ment. _But, he said, he could not give his assent to the passage of a bill that sin- gled out any particular citizen and made it a special offense to take his life. He denied that any honest, law-abiding man’s life was more sacred than another’s, The laws against murder in the several '| States, he argued, were ample for the protection of all. -Besides, he doubted whether such a law as was proposed to be passed would add to the protection of the President’s life. To violats such & law might all the more magnify the im~ portance of the deed in the distempered mind of some anarchist. Lanham wanted to know why foreign embassadors and ministers had been sin- gled out for such protection and the Speaker of the House omitted. He re- garded the Speaker as more important than the Vice President or a Cabinet offi- cer. » “If I were President of the United States,” said Lanham, “I should rather not have this bill on the statute books.” — Cal. glacr fruit 50c per Ib at Townsend's.* —_—— Prures stuffed with apricots.
