A MONEY CAMPAIGN. 9E country is somewhat surprised at the Dem- T ocratic giggling that is heard about an overflow- ing campaign treasury to be spent in electing the next House. Mr. Ben Cable, a past master in political financier- ing, has been to New York, among the financial bobs and nabobs, and, nusing the President's speeches 2gainst trusts, is reported to have coaxed and scared out of the big combines a war chest that excites the envy of all who love to hear money talk in a cam- paign. Concurrently arises a_wail from Republican headquarters that tells of a treasury as empty as a drum. Wonders never cease. Since 1896 Wall street and the ‘'money power have been denounced as the Gog SEPTEMBER 10, 1902 JOHN D. SPRECKELS, Proprietor. A¢iress Al Communicstions to W. 8, LEAKE, Manager.

Alas, and must we unlearn all the frugal lessons of the last six years! Worse than that, must we get accustomed to seeing a Democratic campaign chest filled by those octopi, vampires and assorted villainies, the trusts! Mr. Cable is no pauper himself. He owns a few millions in his own right, and through his family’s large interest in the C. R. I. and P. Railway he is in touch with haystacks of capital. His amusement is politics, and he plays the gaie like a master. As long as fanatics like Jones and Richardson ran things the party had to be content with a dinner of herbs and cresses from the spring. But Cable is by no means a gentle shepherd and a vegetarian in politics. He understands the placeboic effect of a financial emulsion applied to the naked intellect of the voter in large cities, and so he decides to persuade the trusts that the Democratic party can be cured of its sour and ascetic habits and persuaded to become the instrument of the President’s punishment for going up and down the land declaring that the Republican party means what it says about enforcement of the | anti-trust laws. The Republican committee may as well prepare to oppose a money fight by an appeal to reason and | judgment. The party is not going to change its course in the least. The declarations of the Presi- dent are of necessity those of the party which he leads. { He proposes nothing that is revolutionary, nothing that is injurious to any legitimate interest, and if the illegitimate interests of the country choose to buy a Democratic House all that it can do, if it hold to The famine that threatens their extinction is due to | the party professions, will be to follow the Presi- diversion of the water which irrigated their reserva- | gent. tion and made it produce crops and pasture.

Reports from the Mississippi Valley States are to the effect that the Republicans are going to have a tidal wave of success in the Congressional elections.

Such reports are e tation, and elevators have modified the architécture of city buildings. The new demands of society for parks, school grounds and sanitary arrangements have developed new ideas of city government. In all parts of the world progressive nations are mak- ing old cities over again. Louis Napoleon remodeled Paris and made it virtually a new city. In London a continual transformation scene is going on. Bos- ton, New York and even Chicago are tearing down old buildings to erect new ones. It is in the midst of this movement for the recon- struction of cities that the Australians are to lay the | foundations of their new capital. The opportunity for { founding a model city is a most excellent one. Everything that modern science has demonstrated to but it is a safe prediction that the only way in which results can be made to a2gree with them will be by bringing to the polls every Republican vote in the various districts. Anything like overconfidence will ruin the calculation. It is now stated that Tom Johnson, the heir of Bryan and the author of many yawps against pluto- crats, went to the Ohio convention in a magnificent automobile, accompanied by a private secretary, a footman and a valet. Let us hope that every calamity Lowler may some day attain a similar simplicity of life and quit howling.

[ e — ROOSEVELT’S MONROE DOCTRINE. RITISH and German critics of President B Roosevelt’s speeches have shown a singular sensitiveness to his utterances on the Monroe doctrine. In this country the President’s references to that subject have hardly attracted more than pass- ing attention. We have been much more interested in what he has said about Cuba and about trusts. The British and the Germans, however, are evidently of the opinion that we are highly excited over the Mon- roe doctrine and under the lead of a jingo President are about to engage in war with any or every Euro- pean nation whose warships may happen to come within gunshot of any part of the continents or the islands of the Western Hemisphere. Doubtless the sensitiveness of our foreign critics is due to the fact that they are cherishing some hopes of which we are ignorant, and perceive in the Presi- dent’s declarations a manifesto of antagonism. It is not easy tc understand their sensitiveness on any other supposition. The President has not carried the Monroe doctrine further than other Presidents who preceded him in office. So far as Americans can perceive he has not said anything to give offense to the most sensitive of European nations, and accord- ingly the severity of British and German criticism appears to us an evidence that they are seeking for a quarrel;r are self-deceived respecting American aims and ambitions. S Roosevelt's first declaration concerning the Monroe doctrine was made in a speech at Augusta during his tour of Maine, and iater on when his attention was called to telegraphic reports of the European criti- cism he made a more extended statement on the sub- ject in an address delivered at Rutland. In that speech he said: “We believe in the Monroe doctrine | mot as a matter of aggression at all. It does not mean that we are aggressive toward anx power. It means merely that, as the biggest power on this continent, we remain earnestly true to a principle formulated first by Monroe and again by John Quincy Adams— the principle that this continent must not be treated as a subject for political colonization by any foreign power. It is a doctrine of peace. ‘It is a doctrine of defense. It is a doctrine to secure to the United States freedom to develop in peace. We have formu- lated that doctrine. If this means that we have simply talked or written about it, then what we say is worth not the least consideration. It is worth consideration only as long as we are ready to manifest the strength necessary to maintain it.” Whether that clear statement that the Monroe doc- trine does not imply aggression upon the rights of others will have the effect of quieting the foreign critics remains to be seen. Probably it will not. Ger- many and Great Britain have become so much alarmed over American industrial and commercial ex- pansion that they readily suspect us of entertaining all sorts of military and imperial schemes. It is quite likely that everything we do will be miscon- strued by those who watch us with minds colored by jealousy or anxiety. Fortunately we are able to take care of ourselves. We have not formulated the Mon- roe doctrine as a mere academic theory of politics. We mean it as fixed policy of our national conduct and we have the strength to maintain it. The United Stdtes treasury is literally overflowing with gold. There are lots of us left who are ready to stem the overflow if it, in even the remotest way, threatens the health of Uncle Sam. e — THE VOTE IN MAINE. AINE is so solidly and surely Republican that a Republican victory there in September can hardly be accounted a sign of coming Repub- Still, by the rise or the fall in Republican majorities even in such a sure State something can be learned of the trend of public sentiment. When the Maine majority is above the average it is evident that independent voters are voting with the Republicans, and when it is below the average it is evident they are voting the ‘other way. In the election of Monday the trend of popular sen- timent in favor of supporting the administration was manifest by unmistakable signs. Congressman Bur- leigh announces that in off years the average Repub- lican plurality is about 12,000, but this year the plur- ality runs up to 25,000, or more than double the or- dinary vote. Such an increase in the vote given to Republican candidates cannot be due wholly to local causes.. It must be the result of popular movements and sentiments affecting the nation at large, and we may reasonably expect similar results in the Novem- ber elections elsewhere. The Democratic defeat in Maine is the more sigfi- ficant because that is one of the few States in which Democracy this year reaffirmed the declaration of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. The party went into the campaign to make a renewed fight for Bryan- ism, and Bryan himself went into the field to help them. He made several speeches in Maine in the early days of the canvass, and did all in his power to rouse a united Democracy and to win over the inde- pendents. The result spells failure in Jarge letters. So far from showing increased strength, Democracy in Maine has fallen to about its lowest level. It can now hope nothing more from Bryanism in that State at any rate, and accordingly it is safe to say that in 1904 the delegates from Maine to the Democtatic national convention will be found on the side of the reorganizers. The strong vote cast for Republican candidates in Maine will of course strengthen the hopes of those who have predicted that in the Mississippi Valley States Democracy will lose many seats in Congress at the November elections. Sanguine Republicans have estimated that in Illinois, for example, the present Democratic delegation of cleven members in the House of Representatives will be cut down to three. Gains _proportionately large are expected in other States, so that it is believed the Republicans will control the next House by an increased majority. The vote in Maine justifies such hopes, and yet it will not do for Reputlicans to be oversanguine. It is quite.possible that the big Republican majority in Maine was due to the Democratic indorsement given to Bryanism, and that in other States where the re- organizers have obtained control of the party a bet- ter showing will be made. Consequently while ac- cepting the vote in Maine as a cheering indication of the way the independent vote will be cast. ¢hroughout the North and the West in November, Republicans should not in any way relax their efforts. There js now an cpportunity to put Bryanism out of Ameri- can politics forever, and full use should be made of it. < A M THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1902.

The town hall was profusely decorated with laurels, palms and flowers, and the assembly-room of the magistracy, where the services were held, was most lavishly decorated. In the adjoining lob- bjes was a display of magnificent wreaths sent by the medical, political and scien- tific socleties. There also were many floral memorfals from all parts of Ger- many and from some foreign cities. Among the very prominent wreaths near the catafalque was an exquisite one of Iaster lilles and maidenhair ferns from the American physicians practicing and studying in Berlin, with an inscription expressing the high esteem which the American medical profession had for the world-renowned pathologist. The assem- bly-rdom was crowded with the most dis- tinguished professors, scientists and phy- sicians of the capital and with the high- est medical officers of the German army. Among other persons of world-wide reputation in the audience were Theodore Mommsen, the historian; Professor Wilhelm Waldeyer, Pro- fessor Ernst von Leyden, Professor Ernst von Bergmann, Professor Korig and Professor Hardewick. The hall was nearly filled-by university professors and City Councilmen in their golden chains of office. Around the %ides and in the rear stood deputations from student societies in medieval costumes, bearing aloft their richly .emblazoned banners. The pastor made a short address of gen- eral eulogy for the late scientist, and Professor 'Waldeyer, Justice Albert Trae- ger, a member of the Reichstag, and Chief Burgomaster Kirschner extolled Virchow's virtues. The funeral proces- sion, which marched ¥ Unter den Lin- den, was unusually long, many student societles in uniforms of bright colors add- ing picturesqueness to the scene. The | streets through +which the procession passed were lined with people. The in- terment occurred in St. Matthew’'s Ceme- tery, at Schoeneberg, a suburb of Berlin. —_— Prunes stufied with apricots. ‘Townsend's.* —-——— Reduced—Best reading glasses, u;;eeg to 40c. 81 4th, front barber ang gmer;._mf —_——— Townsend's California Glace fruit candles, 50c a pound, in artistic nre-ett‘;:: boxes.

From Railroad Commissioner E. B. Ed- son, who was a rival of Dr. George C. Pardee for the Republican nomination for Governor, has come a loyal letter of sup- port in reply to the invitation which was cxtended to the “man from the north” to take part in Friday night's ratification meeting in Oakland. In his note, which explains delay and reasons for not responding in person, Commissioner Edson writes: GAZELLE, Siskiyou Co., Cal., September 6, 1902. Hon. George C. Pardee, Oakland, Cal.—My Dear Sir: I was in Oregon looking after cattle and did not get the invitation to.attend the ratification meeting held in Oakland until to- day—after it was all over. Had I received it in time I would have been there or wired my regrets at not being able to attend. I wish to assure you that I give the ticket my loyal support and have no doubt of a large major- ity f8r the whole ticket. We will not thiak of the past, but march on to victory—such a one as was never known in a State campaign. Sincerely yours, E. B. EDSON.
