BRYAN follows Major Watterson in de- M nunciation of Mr. Cleveland, his speech, his two administrations and all his ways and s. Mr. Bryan has reached that stage of decline where he is no longer visible to the public unless he on something. This is the stage that follows after the plan of keeping in sight by jumping up and down. He has practiced that method until people looked the other way when he bobbed up, and now mebody like Mr. Cleveland, ands public attention, says something or does something, when he jumps on to him and makes snoots in the public eye. Mr. L= R wor stand: he has to wait until Clgveland’s speech is as keen a piece of de- iptive sarcasm as appears in American politics. It hit its mark, out in Lincoln, and Mr. Bryan claps hand on the place where he is hurt and screams He introduces some new metaphors into political discussion by describing Cleveland’s admin- ation as “a stagnant pool, from whose waters, foul vapors rose, poisonous to those who lingered near.” That is neat nasty. It is bad enough for an ad- do the stunt of a stagnant pool,,but the emission of foul vapors is trying to the patience of the Board of Health. Mr. Bryan then reaches back into classic history and brings forward that unpleasant affair in the family of the late M:. Virginius of Rome in order that he may accuse Cleveland of stabbing the Demo- cratic party to prevent its return to virtue. From all this the public is left to infer that Democracy strayed from the path of virtue by succeeding at the polls and getting the power to establish an ague- breeding pond which it passed off on the people as a national administration. In this view of it the way to keep that party virtuous is by keeping it out of power. So, when the sleuth of logic is turned loose on the tracks of Mr. Bryan's figure of speech the with anger conclusion captured is that the Republican party is | doing reform work of the highest character by keeping Democracy in the Magdalen asylum of de- feat. For the direction taken by his metaphor Mr. Bryan is responsible. He concludes that as long as Mr. Cleveland is seen and heard at Democratic gath- erings there can be no harmony. This conclusion is right in line with Bryanism. Cleveland represents the only successes of the party since the Civil War. Bryan represents the worst defeats in its history, and he prefers defeat and virtue to the stagnant pools of victory. Republicans approve of Mr. Bryan and his green scum and malaria ideas. No advance agent for dime novel literature, even s wildest dreams, ever pictured such good luck s s contained a few days ago in a dispatch which stated that a twelve-year-old Texan lad had killed cight Apache Indians. Our youthful heroes will have to be guarded against an emigration to Texas, The Oakland political situation seems to have reached what is “technically known as the sizzling stage. This may invariably be recognized by the interesting fact that everybody in the political pot calls everybody else names which would justify the incarceration of them all in a penitentiary. The municipal authorities are seriously discussing the expediency of waging war upon the toy pistol, which has already done various damages upon young America. The pistol seems to warrant a change of the adage that boys will be boys into boys are im- minently in danger of becoming angels. An Irish member of Parliament was sent to jail by an Irish Judge the other day for contempt of court. The reports do not indicate who was the better pleased at the outcome, the Judge or the jailed. .

This is one way of teaching our younger brothers that men do not grow to manhood in 2 day. Anyway, Uncle Sam has trouble enough now with his family, WILL HE CATCH IT? mean attainments in some branches of the business. But there are some things that can- not be juggled. Among these is his pretense of a fervid desire to be vindicated in the San Quentin matter, and His flight to the judicial wilderness of San Pedro in search of it. All fair-minded men see at once that if he heartily desired to be shown blameless and abused he would have sought the most prompt and convenient means to that end. Had he done so, and, as the law per- mits, brought his criminal suit at a point ¢onvenient to the scene of the alleged offense and accessible readily to the evidence by which he must be justified or condemned, the examination would now be far under way, and the people would be getting the facts, judicially heard and sifted. Just why he injected himself into this prison scan- dal at all no one can find out. After everything on which he bases his suit had been published he de- clared in an authorized interview published in his Los Angeles official organ that it did not affect him, that he was not attacked, but that the impact of the exposure fell upon the Warden, in whom he ex- pressed the greatest confidence. From the point of view taken in that interview it was plainly the duty of the Governor to at once request the Prison Di- rectors to make an investigation of the prison and its management by Warden Aguirre, to the end that that officer might be vindicated if deserving of the confidence the Governor had in him, or condemned if guilty and outlawed from that confidence. The Governorship cf California is not a personal possession. It is an official trust. The Governor, as a private individual, could not procure the ap- pointment of Aguirre to the wardenship, no matter how close and affectionate their friendship. He did that as Governor. The relation of private friend- ship ceased when they entered into official relations with each other. They, were the holders of public trusteeships, and their friendship became official en- tirely. Their private friendship was subject to rup- ture by the violation of the conditions upon which it existed. A breach of friendly faith, trading on persondl credit, abuse of confidence, an act of dis- haonor, would dissolve personal friendship. The offi- cial relation of friendship is based solely upon fidel- ity to the public trust, held and administered for the people. Not the individuals Gage and Aguirre are concerned at all, but the public officials, the Gov- ernor of California and the Warden of San Quentin prison. Mr. Gage might wink at the peccadilloes of his friend Aguirre, as men do wink at those things and will, world without end. But the Governor of Cali- fornia cannot wink at the act of the Warden' in mak- ing by prison labor and perhaps material not his own gifts of luxury for a scarlet woman. Nor can one official overlook in the other the manipulation of accounts, forging of bills and corruption of public records beyond recognition for what the law intends they chould be. The Governor has throughout the affair acted as if his relation were that of a private individual, with no element in it beyond his private will, wish and preference. As an individual he may overlook what he pleases in his friend. Martin Aguirre may spit in the face of his friend Henry T. Gage, who may wipe it off with his coat tail he choose, and forgive the expectorant attention of his friend. The two may quarrel, quit and make up, and it concerns none but themselves. With the offenses of Warden Aguirre it is totally different. They are public offenses, which the Gov- ernor of California cannot condone, compound nor compromise. They are against the people. All this the Governor has miserably failed to com- prehend. No sooner was'the dirtiness at the prison disclosed than he jumped into it up to his neck. Then, realizing that it had damaged him, he seeks repair. The method he has chosen is that of the juggler. He has gone as far as possible from his- friend the Warden, after the two had investigated each other, and away in San Pedro stands with a fork in his mouth to catch the turnip, reputation, which he ex- | pects the Warden to toss down to him. THE Governor of California is a juggler of no The New York, stage is to be elevated at last. The Actors’ Church Alliance in that city has organized Bible classes for chorus girls of the comic operas, and the stage is to be used Sunday afternoons for class purposes. One of the promoters of the move- ment gives a curious reason for it. He is quoted as saying: “Many of the chorus girls come from Bos- ton and they find it hard to make church affiliations in New York.” DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS. EMOCRATIC State platforms adopted this D year are more than usually interesting, inas- much as it has devolved upon the State con- ventions to formulate the policy of the party upon new issues. The complete collapse of Bryan’s pres- tige and the impossibility of making any further con- | test on the silver question render it expedient to reaffirm the last national platform of the party: | A new platform is therefore necessary, and as the party leaders in Congress have not formulated one, nor shaped an issue to submit to the people, the task of hewing new planks has fallen to the lot of the State conventions. Up to this time the fashioning of the new planks has been carried out with trembling hands amid dis- cords and faction fights in almost every State. In Illinois, for example, a faction of the convention was in favor of adopting a platform declaring adherence “to the fundamental principles of the Democratic party as laid down in the Declaration of Indepen- dence, the constitution of the United States and our | last national convention.” The majority of the convention refused to accept that declaration and amended it by substituting “past conventions” in- stead of the last convention. Anotherstrong faction was opposed to making any declaration at all concerning the Philippines, but | finally the convention agreed to declare: “We ‘are opposed to the British system of colonization, by means of which powerful, selfish interests are enabled to employ the resources of the people to enslave in- ferior races and to enrich themselves. We are in favor of true American expansion, such as under Democratic control has been achieved in the past, |and by means of which vast territories have been dedicated forever to equality and freedom. We, therefore, denounce the various measures adopted by the Republicans for the government of the Phjl- | ippines as monopolistic and autocratic and danger- | ous to liberty at home as well as liberty abroad.” That was the best Illinois could do toward pre- senting a policy for Democrats to uphold. Dewn in Tennessee the party convention did a little better, It jdeclared: “We demand that this Government at l once announce td the people of the Philippines that when peace is restored they shall be allowed to es- tablish » government of their own, and that when such stable government is establish‘ed they shall be given their independence:” That plank makes a showing of a policy, and while it lacks definiteness it is at least intelligible. ~The Filipinos are to be permitted to establish a govern- ment “when peace is restored,” and they are to be given independence when their government becomes “stable.” Such propesitions may be vague, but they are preferable to the Illinois plan of merely de- nouncing everything the Republicans have done. The Kansas Democrats perpetrated something like a joke in declaring: “We indorse the position taken by the Democratic \members of the National Con- gress with respect to the duty of the Government of the United States toward the Philippine Islands and their people.” The humor of the declaration fies in the fact that the.Democrats of Congress took no position on the subject, and their views range all the way from one extreme to the other. The Oregon Democrats said: “We believe that the true policy is to prepare the people of those isl- ands (the Philippines) for self-government as speed- ily as possible, and when so prepared.to grant them independence, retaining such coaling stations and ports as may be necessary to protect those islands from foreign interference and to maintain our trade relations in the Orient.” The South Carolina platform is perhaps the best of all. At any rate it is the only one that has been approved outside the convention that adopted it. The approval was given by the Democratic convention in Indiana, which also adopted it. It declares: “The Filipinos cannot be citizens with- out endangering our civilization; they cannot be subjects without imperiling our form of government; znd as we are not willing to surrender our civilization or to convert the republic into an empire, we favor an immediate declaration of the nation’s purpose to give the Filipinos, first, a stable form of govern- ment; second, independence, and, third, protection from outside interference.” ; That is the best Democracy has done in platform- making thus far. There is a chance for the Democ- racy of California to distinguish itself. B R —— The local Board of-Education is at last engaged in a surprising endeavor to perform a genuine public service. The board is rescinding its rules for the ap- pointment of teachers as worse than useless. It is re- modeling its scheme of instruction and displaying generally a deep seated conviction of the unworth of its own principles of educational policy. There ap- pears to be some congratulation in the fact that any new rules which the board may adopt cannot be worse than the old. A the East begin to make ready for the Fourth of July. Their preparations are not so much in the way of providing for the celebration as making provisions and adopting safeguards against the prob- abilities of disaster. Ample experience has taught the people of that section of the Union that the small boy with firecrackers is. likely to make the glorious Independence day an occasion of trouble that may amount to calamity. We have néver suffered the disastrous fires that have taught the East to watch the coming and the going of the Fourth of July with almost as much anxiety as patriotism. Nevertheless, we have had here and there throughout the State some lessons that were costly. It is therefore worth our while to follow the example of the Eastern cities in that re- gard and look out a little as to what is likely to hap- pen if we are too careless in our manner of celebra- tion. . 1t has been decided by the officials of New York that the rules relating to the sale of fireworks shall be enforced this year not only in the city proper but throughout the whole area of Greater New York. Under the rules no fireworks can be offered for sale in frame buildings within the fire limits, nor in such buildings outside the fire limits unless isolated from other strucfures, and in no case shall more than one permit be granted to a block. As the rule cuts off a business that has been profitable in Brooklyn and other boroughs now grouped with the big city a good deal of opposition to it has been manifest, but public opinion seems to ‘sustain the action of the authorities. Of course the regulation of the sale of fireworks is but a small part of the general work of prepara- tion for the day. The Fourth of July finds the East parched and dry. A wooden building is hardly bet- ter than so much tinder. Fires are easily started in such an atmosphere, and when once started they spread rapidly. We have no such dangers in this city. We have neither the dry air nor the inflam- mable timber. Most of our buildings are con- structed of redwood and burn so slowly that there is comparatively little danger of any great conflagra- tion. Nevertheless, there is always some, and it will be worth our while to guard against it. The Fire Department and the police of course always take precautions and do extra duty on that day, but the whole task of guarding against danger should not be left to them. With us, as with the East, it is time to begin to think of making our preparations to celebrate the Fourth in such a way that the gen- eral joy will not be marred by any serious accident, disaster or loss. ” e — The Governor of North Carolina has offered a re- ward of $30,000 for the apprehension of the lynchers of a negro who was guiltless of crime. This act of the Governor is probably to be construed as the post mortem joke in the crime of the unknown as- sassins. STANDING ON GUARD. T this season of the year the larger cities of A party of Americans has set on foot a project to colonize Prince Albert province, Canada, with peo- ple from the United States. The gentlemen should be encouraged; it is seldom that such an easy way of ridding the country of incumbrances presents it- self. The United States Senate is still fishing with its rod of inquiry in the ill-smelling pool which has gathered over the sale of the Danish West Indies. It seems as if we can ncither buy nor win territory without an infernal domestic row as a consequence. Oakland politics, steaming, storming and sizzling in various degrees of explosion, seems not as yet to have reachcd‘its normal stage. Nobody among the interested partisans has been accused of murder, an indication that something has been left undone. Mayor Schmitz has evidently been made aware | that it is not the easiest thing in the world to drive loafing. politicians from their troughs in the muni- cipal treasury. The chasing of money-changers from the temple was once considered to be a miracle. JUNE 27, 190 DAUGHTER OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE WEDS AT ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH T. STEPHEN'S CHURCH was crowded with friends and relatives of Miss Alma Beatty, the charming daughter of Chief Justice Willlam A. Beatty of the State Supreme Court, and Brooke Maynard Wright, a promising attorney of this city, who were united in marriage last night. The in- terior of the sacred edifice was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. J. Lion, rector of the church. The bride was beautiful in a heavily embroidered white crepe gown, made en- traine. The vell was fastened with orange blossoms and she was attended by a bevy of pret- ty girls. 3 v Miss Alice Willis of Sacramento, a cousin of the bride, was maid of honor. Her gown was white silk mull over white taffeta and she carried a wreath of green tied with long green streamers. The bridesmaids ‘were Miss Gertrude Buckley, Miss Jeanette Hooper, Miss Marian ‘Wright and Miss Jeanette Wright. They were attired in electric green silk gauze, heavily trimmed with white lace. They each carried bouquets of white lilies sent by a friend residing in Oregon. The groom was attended by Allen ‘Wright as best man. The ushers were St. John McCormick, Cary Van Fleet, Thomas Van Ness and George Hooper. @ il iinirini i @ DECLARE THEY DO NOT WANT THE FRANCHISES Two surprises were sprung at yester- day’s meeting of the Supervisors’ Street Committee. The first was the formal ap- plication of the United Railroads, as suc- cessor to the Market-street Rallway Com- pany, to withdraw the applications of the last named corporation for a grant of franchises for roads covering nearly- all streets not controlled at present by the monopaoly. The second surprise was.the offer of George A. Newhall, president of the Pre- sidio and Ferries Railway Company, t2 sell the Union-street road and its Lranches to the city, The last offer will be formally made next Monday. The cause of the withdrawal of the pe- titions by the United Railroads lies in the fact that the committee has all along tacitly imposed a condition that in return for the franchises asked for the corpora- tion should concede to the city the right to use five blocks on Market street to connect with the proposed municipal road on Geary street. No satisfactory answer could be obtained from the United Rail- roads and it was plain that its directors had not the slightest intention to make any concession to the city or to comply with what they termed an onerous con- dition. This was demonstrated when Jo- seph 8. Tobin, attorney for the big cor- poration, asked leave to withdraw the pe- titions, “These applications were filed by our predecessor, the Market-street Rallway Company, without our consent,” said To- bin.. “In good faith we felt compelled to ask the board that they be granted. In view of the fact that municipal ownership is the end in view at the present time we desire to withdraw all the applications. Had we been consulted in the first place the petitions would never have been filed. ‘We acted later at the request of property owners who desire the service of the new lines. We now formally ask permission to withdraw our applications without pre- Jjudice. Regarding the city's request that we grant it the use of five blocks on Mar- ket street, consider that proposition at an end, owing to our withdrawing the pe- titions.” The committee, after a hurried consul- tation, decided to recommend that the United Rallroads be granted leave by the board to withdraw the applications with- out prejudice. Then Goerge A. Newhall, president of the Presidio and Ferries Railroad, made his offer to sell the road to the city. *“‘We will file a proposition next Mon- Ga; said Newhall, “in which we will of- fer to sell our property to the city. This is in response to the resolution of the beard soliciting offers from existing street railroads in conmection with the acquisi- tion of the Geary-street road by the mu- ricipality, We do not wish to withdraw our application, as it was made in good faith, and we propose to build the road if we secure the franchise.” The committee then laid over tempora- rily all applications for street railway privileges. The committee also reported in favor of the passage of two ordinances relative to the maintenance of signs, as the present ordinance has been found to be imprac- ticable. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. C. E.

It is then an easy mattér to destroy them. At the close of the ceremony about 100 Suests attended the reception Deld at the bride’s home at 2409 Octavia street.

One of the few notable writers publish- ing is Bernard Capes, whose book, “The Mill of Bilence,” is to be Issued very shortly by John Long. 1 hear that Mr. Rudyard Kipling's vel- ume of stories, “Just So Stories for Chil- dren,” which is to be published in the autumn, will be entirely illustrated by himself. ‘Kipling has long been noted for his omniscience, but it will be a new sensation to regard him in any other eapacity than as an author. The author- artist is, of course, a comparatively rare phenomenon. Blake and Max Beerbohm are two that may be mentioned, but perhaps the best known popular writers who have illustrated their own books are Thackeray, Du Maurier and W. 8. Gil- bert. The authoress of “Red Pottage” has completed a new novel which is a story of contemporary life and character. Miss Cholmendeley is a most careful writer who revises and even rewrites her manu- script extensively. The novel, I believe, will first appear serially. In this most dull of dull times there is only one more work which is of any in- terest at all coming out. That Is a very much needed volume which may be called a personal handbook to London and Lon- don society. It is to have the title “Lon- don and Its Leaders” and has been com- piled by Douglass Sladen. The letterpress includes tables of the royal family, the Cabinet and chief government officials, and gives lists of foreign embassadors and consuls in London and members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, and the leading hostesses are noted. There is also a record of the American colony in London. - London itself, meaning publi¢ institutions, hatels and theaters, is very fully dealt with, The work has many il lustrations.
