THURBER of New York has been st active ally of the Cuban junta in its effort to force free trade upon this country. A firm of high-priced attorneys have been employed to write briefs and arguments, and with these and appeals to humanity the country has been flooded. sterving Cubans have been used | and the junta has not scrupled to attack Americans who oppose free trade and to characterize them as worse than the Spaniards from whbm th and was freed by the blood and money of Americans. As the readers of The Call have had sion to know, this free trade campaign has been prosecuted with wonderful energy and as wonderful disregard of all American interests. The War De- partment has been distinctly offensive in the matter. The Secretary War has assumed the position of dictator of the economic policy of the Government, and has several generals of the army in an assault upon Congress and upon the protective policy of the Republican party. General Wood, the army surgeon v of rank, perhaps, made Governor General of Cuba, has been especially active in the matter. He has left his post of duty several times to instruct Congress, and has done this with an over- bearing air of authority that was distinctly offensive. Enough facts have come to light to show that indus- trial conditions in Cuba were not as he represented them. The difference between the facts and his statements is so great as to raise the suspicion that he took no pains to know the facts, or no pains to state them if known. Against this forcible array of llies, attorneys, the War Department and generals in uniform stood the farmers of the beet sugar States in determined defense of their sple in- Pathetic pictures of whom senio: juntas, terest in protection. The profit on beets was the first fruit of protection that had found its way to their pockets. They hired no attorneys, they sought no zlien allies, they had no generals in uniform on their side, but they put up « fight so stubborn that the War Department retired, whipped, from the first skir- mish. But the fight has been renewed in the Senate. The generals are again in evidence and the same series of misrepresentations is in use. But a bomb has fallen in the midst of the company of promoters of free trade. When Mr. Thurber was before the Senate committee preparing to go into tears in behalf of the suffering Cubans he was con- fronted with evidence that he had been paid a large amount of money by somebody to promote the free trade movement. This he admitted, and then was immediately faced with evidence that the money had been taken out of the public revenues of Cuba and |. paid to him by General Wood in his capacity as Gov- ernor of the island. Seeing no way out Thurber ad- mitted this also. Now here is a transaction that has no parallel in the history of the Government. Wood held his office and his authority through the War Department. This country was in temporary mili- tary occupation of Cuba. The military Governor controlled the public revenues, and he took from them tens of thousands of dollars to be used by Thurber in controlling legislation here in favor of 3 few large sugar planters and 'against American inter- ests. It isa most extraordinary proceeding. It marks the height to which either the desperation or the effrontery of the War Department has risen in its attempt to substitute all other departments and assume their functions. It was a misuse of Cuban funds, for which there can be no punishment, and was, apparently, an attempt by the War Department to either mislead public opinion or corrupt legisla- tion. The country has had a surfeit of this business, and those in authority who.are urging more of it would better stop where they are. 4 Senator Hoar tol pended $400,000,000 in assimilating the Filipinos, and as the Senate shows a willingness to continue the ex- penditure indefinitely, it is clear that the doctrine that money rules the American mind is essentially wrong. A call to war and victery is worth millions of money in this country at any tima THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, N OVERNOR GAGE has procured from a Justice of the Peace of Wilmington Township, Los Angeles County, warrants for the arrest of the proprietor and the manager of The Call upon a charge of publishing a criminal libel against 5 himself. In answer fo the charge The Call will assert the truth of every state- ment it has published concerning the frauds at San Quentin and will demand a prompt trial of the case. ! 4 Were the office of, Governor of California filled by any other person than Henry T. Gage, the proceedings taken in this case-would be surprising.. When the charges of The Call concerning the violations of law in the administration of San Quentin prison were published, together with some important parts of the evidence that sustains them, Governor Gage gave out an interview on the subject to the Los Angeles Record. In the course of that interview he is quoted as saying: “You will notice that nowhere in these articles is it stated that I bad any knowledge of wrongdoing, or participated knowingly in anything wrong.” That statement, published in the Record on May 26, was republished in The Call May 27 for the purpose of giving the Governor’s side of the story. He has now revoked that statement and alleges not only that The. Call ‘has charged him with knowingly participating in wrongdoing, but in his complaint of crim- inal libel distorts and misrepresents the statements of The Call for the purpose of making them appear “willful and malicious.” Whether the Governor’s mind was changed by its own meditation on the subject, or whether the change was brought about by the prompting of others, matters little. It suffices that after making an attempt at a secret investigation, conducted by himself, and finding that The Call exposed the folly of that course, he has decided to appeal to the courts. The Governor does not bring the suit in San Francisco, where the defendants live; nor in Los Angeles, where he lives; nor in Sacramento, where the prison docu- ments on file at the Capitol are readily accessible; offenses were committed, nor in any place where it would be easy for the witnesses and the documentary evidence in the case to be produced. He turns aside from all those places and seeks an obscure township, remote from the scene of the offense; and obtains his warrants there. . What motive prompted this recourse to a distant out of the way place in bring- ing a suit which involves his official integrity and his personal honor is beyond the comprehension of ordinary men. In this as in so many other things the ways of Henry T. Gage are peculiar. Trial at Wilmington Township will of course be inconvenient and costly. nesses residing in San Francisco, Sacramento, Alameda and Marin County will have to make the long journey, and when they arrive at Wilmington Township they will find no hotel accommodation. Official documents and records on file in Sacramento or at San The witnesses who live at Los Angeles near the | point of trial are few, and consist wholly of persons who are beneficiaries of the frauds. The inconvenience of the place evidently is counted by Gage as an advantage to the farther he gets away from the scene of the wrongs, the records of the State prison, and the residence of the merchants who are to be witnesses against the prison administration, the better it will be for him. As for the cost of the trial in that out of the way place, Gage thinks nothing. It is to be a criminal case and accordingly the costs of the prosecution are to be paid not by Gage, the prose- Quentin will have to be taken there. himself. Doubtless he thinks that cutor, but by the county of Los Angeles. The Call knows of no reason why the State officials and the witnesses in the case should be subjected to the inconvenience of attending a trial in a’ distant place where there are no accommodations. A fair and a full trial could have been had in this county, in Sacramento, in Alameda, in Marin or in Santa Clara. Gage could have had his choice of any Superior Judge he might prefer to try the issue. The Call would have interposed no objection to any of them. In declaring first that The Call had not charged him with any knowledge of wrongdoing, Gage showed signs of a desire to shirk the issue. secret investigation of his own, instead of calling upon the Prison Directors to make one openly and fairly, he exhibited a fear that something might be disclosed that would hurt him. Now by making a criminal prosecution in an obscure township he seems to be seeking a means of prolonging the case and getting a trial postponed perhaps in- definitely. Whatever be the meaning of the' Wilmington Township move, it matters little. If the courts decide that Wilmington Township is the place for the hearing, The Call will The Call stands by its record. all of its charges and statements. It meets the prosecution with a demand for a speedy be ready to meet the issue. trial and a full investigation. A MODEL FORESTRY SYSTEM. HOULD the people of California desire to S study an object lesson in the science of forestry before emtering upon an extensive system of forest preservation at home, they can find one in Saxony. In that kingdom the care of forests has been exercised for so long a time that an efficient system has been worked out. Tried and tested by time and found effective in practical operation, the work is no longer experimental. It hds been raised to the level of a science and is now carried on with results so profitable as to render it worth the study of any people who have a forestry problem to solve. In the current number of Consular Reports, Ernest L. Harris, United States consular agent at Eiben- stock, gives a brief review of the results of Saxon forestry for the past year and the showing is a notable one. The kingdom contains twelve forest districts which are subdivided into one hundred minor dis- tricts. In the aggregate these forests are valued at $70.538,399. The annual expense of maintenance is about $1,005,364. The income derived from them last year was $3,246,976, and the net profit was $2,- 241,611. There was, of course, a variation in the profits derived from the different forests. Thus the forest of the district of Moritzburg yielded a profit of but 1.2 per cent, while that of Eibenstock yielded 3.13 per cent. The average yield was 2.71 per cent. It is to be borne in mind that the indirect benefits derived from the forests are much more valuable than the direct profits derived from the sale of timber, fuel, etc. The report says: “The forests of Saxony serve not only the purpose of giving the state a sub- stantial annual revenue, but they add a thousandfold to the scenery of the country, thus attracting many tourists into these parts every summer. The most important feature of the forests, however, is the fact that they keep forever alive the fountains of water which spring from the highlands of Erzgebirge and Saxon Switzerland. The forests furnish the material and the water the motive power to hundreds of pulp, paper and saw mills which in turn give employment to thousands of men, women and children. Surely it is worth while for Californians to profit by, that lesson before California’s forests are wasted and her mountain slopes left desolate. - The defect in the Cuban reciprocity bill is that there is no reciprocity in it, so it is not strange that the advocates of the scheme prefer to press it as an administration measure rather than discuss it on its merits. Hanna says it is to be “Panama or nothing,” and Morgan says it is to be “Nicaragua or nothing”; so the majority seems to be in favor of nothing. A resolution has been introduced into Congress providing for adjournment on June 28, but nobody Ais betting on it . COUNTRY TELEPHONES. UR Eastern exchanges are noting with well- O justified satiefaction the rapidity with which telephones are coming into use in the more thickly settled rural districts of that section. An illustration ‘of the kind of news items that are now becoming frequent is to be found in the report from Pennsylvania that farmers living near Joanna “have built a private telephone line between Conestoga and Morgantown. In the evening after they have fin- ished their day’s labor they attend to social inter- course and business among themselves over the line.” It is in New England that country telephones have come into most extended use. The Southern New England Telephone Company is reported to have made special efforts to attract rural patrons, and by giving low rates has succeeded in getting large numbers of farmers to put themselves in telephone communication with. the neighboring villages and towns. The advantages of the system are of course enor- mous. The farmer even more than the citizen needs the telephone. Now that the movement toward sup- plying that kind of communication to rural districts has been successfully launched there are many sec- tions of California where it would be well to extend it. ' In New England the system is said to cost the farmer $18 a year, and for that sum he can communi- cate with any neighboring town free .of further graded from five cents up to twenty-five cents. With the telephone in his house the farmer is no longer isolated, nor is he required to make a journey every time he desires some business conversation. The telephone, in fact, will be a great improvement in the conditions of rural life and will go far to make people more content to live on the farm. e — According to the way fancy paimts it, London during the coronation ceremonies is to be as gor- geous as a scene in fairyland, but to some of the peo- ple who live there the aspect is different. For ex- ample, a poet in the Westminster Gazette addresses it thus: “Hideous city, one vast, wooden grandstand for coronation procession.” It is not safe to say “as goes Oregon so goes the country,” but it may be said of the recent Congres- sional elections in that State “as the country is going so Oregon has went.” —_—— The political struggle of the year in Pennsylvania is virtually over.

KITTRIDGE AND CULLOM URGE - PANAMA ROUTE WASHINGTON, June 16.—After a dis- cussion extending over parts of several days the Senate to-day passed what is popularly known as the London dock charges bill. The opposition to the meas~ ure collapsed and it was passed without division. Consideration then was continued of the isthmian canal project, Cullom of Illinois and Kittridge of South Dakota delivering speeches In ddvocacy of the Panama route. The former based his argument principally on the report of the Isthmian Caral Commission recommending that route, asserting that he was satisfied that a good title to the property could be ob- tained. Kittridge not onl strongly fa- vored the Panama route, which, in his judgment, was much the better, but also attacked the Nicaragua plan as lacking in.definiteness. He pointed out that Costa Rica was constitutionally unable to grant the necessary concession to the United States, and said if the Nicaragua route ‘were selected it would be a long time be- fore work could be begun, if it ever could begin. Just before adjournment a spirited dis- cussion was precipitated over a motion by Proctor of Vermont to agree to a con- ference with the House on the army ap- propriation bill. Several weeks ago the Senate was affronted by a message from the House refusing. to submit to confer- cnce certain Senate amendments to the bill. The opposition to Proctor's motion Wwas so vigorous that finally he was forced 1o withdraw it for the present. The House to-day transacted some mis- cellaneous business under suspension of the rules. It included the adoption of a resolution appropriating $25,000 for the preparation of plans for a memorial in this city to Abraham Lincoln, $100,000 to- ward the erection of a monument to the prison ship martyrs who died off Brook- lyn as a result of the cruelties to which they were subjected by the British during | the Revolutionary War and $10,000 for the erection of a monument at Fredericks- | burg, Va., to the memory .of General Hugh Mercer, who was killed during the the Revolutionary War, and $10,000 for the ed to-day was to carry out an authoriza- tion made for this purpose in 1777 by the Continental Congress. . Two bills were passed to amend the general pension laws—omne to provide for the restoration to the pension rolls of the widows of soldiers who subsequently married and were again widowed, and one to increase the pension of those who have lost a limb or were totally disabled while in the military or naval service. The latter bill also carries an important provision to increase the pension of a sol- dier under the dependent act of 1880 from $12 to $30 per month when such a pen- sloner requires frequent or periodical at- tendance. The resolution calling on the Secretary of War for his reasons for the dismissal ot Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in the War Department, was laid on the table, 109 to 84, Three Republicans voted on this ques- tion with the Democrats. A resolution to authorize the Secretary of War in his discretion to favor*Ameri- can-built ships in the transportation of Government supplies to the Philppines was defeated.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—Constructo: Hobson applied to-day to Secretary Moody for®a three m@nths’ leave of ab- sence on account of the condition of his cyes. He is now on special duty at Eliza- bethport, N. J. The Secretary conferred about this application with Admiral Tay- lor, Constructor Bowles and Surgeon Gen- eral Rixey and decided to allow the leave. Naval constructors are badly needed just now, but Secretary Moody felt that he could not disregard an appeal on medical reasons, as stated by the sur- geon general. It is reasonably certain that Hobson cannot remain in active service.. At the expiration of the three months’ leave, if his eyes have not mate- rially improved, he will be ordered before another retiring board, and it is belleved that he will be this time retired.

There was a special session of the Grand Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West yesterday for the purpose of taking some action to avoid being pun- ished for contempt for not obeying the alternate writ of mandamus issued by Judge Seawell. Five hours was spent in trying to adjust the matter, and the only question that was discussed was whether the adjournment on Sunday morning would be deemed contempt, and the new grand president would not assume the re- sponsibility of adjourning the Grand Par- lor to June, 1903, but said the responsibil- ity would rest with the Grand Parlor. The grand body did assume that responsibility and adjourned until next June. Yesterday there was no response in Judge Seawell’'s court when the man- damus proceedings were called, so the matter was postponed until to-day, and it is likely that the legality or illegality of the Institution of Genevieve Parlor will be fully gone into. i TAKES PLACE TO-MORROW Fernbrook Park Will Be the Scene of ' a Merry Annual - Outing.
