But he cl in Towa, where the Democrats have not only repudiated him but have been guilty of men- tioning Mr. Cleveland with respect, nor in Wiscon- sin or California, where the platforms ignore silver and Bryan and all his works. His fate, then, is to be decided by the November | elections. If the party make gains in Ohio and the Bryan States and losses in the non-Bryan States he will be in the saddle, booted and spurred to ride again in the sweepstakes of 1004. All politicians who are wise study the opposition. This year that study is of peculiar interest. There is no prospect that even if Mr. Bryan again force the allegiance and confidence of the party the party will under him command the confidence of the country. No matter what won- der his physical endurance may srouse, or what in- terest may be felt in the stability of his ambition, his two campaigns have caused a deep-seated fear of his methods and a distrust of his capacity for practical administration. He differs from all other candidates of the Democ- racy in being a promiser only. Every other Demo- crat from Jefferson to Cleveland had done something to attest soundnessof judgment and safety of method. That is what the people require in 2 man who seeks the Presidency. Mr. Bryan is the most ornate and spectacular in the list. His genius is of the corus- cating, explosive, bright-plumaged sort that amuses and diverts but does not convince. As long as he appears in public he will have a following. As a pre- tender to the Presidency he will be the Prince Charlie of his party, or the Don Carlos of the Bourbons, but no matter how picturesque and histrionic he will be always reserved for stage effects and the country will regard him as 2 sideshow. His third candidacy may produce something for- midable in the shape of 2 third movement, which will draw into its vortex the substantial Democracy and leave a vacuum in his ranks to be filled by all the numerous political sideshow people now on the road in American politics. An ugly little “bug” in the Virginian constitution has just been brought to light by the registration of voters under the new law. There are about 300 Confederate veterans in a Soldiers’ Home near Rich- mond, and when they undertook to register it was found they could not do so except in their places of residence prior to entering the home. Inquiry into the matter disclosed the fact that the constitution makers had disfranchised the veterans in order to get rid of the votes of some 3000 Union veterans in the National Soldiers’ Home at Hampton. Surely that is very small politics to put into a constitution. It is reported that the consolidated gas companies of Boston have decided to economize coal by furnish- ing gas hereaiter only for fuel purposes, making use of electricity exclusively for lighting. The rule may have been adopted only to meet the problem caused by the present high price of coal, but it may prove ex- pedient to make it permanent, and if so the rest of the country will be likely to follow. Gas will then be more like money than ever—we may have it to burn, but we can’t make light of it. Pierpont Morgan is said to be persistently working at plans which when completed will give him abso. lute control of Atlantic Ocean shipping. When he has accomplished his work the navies of the world will have nothing to do except to police his property and go through a parade stunt occasionally for a boliday. bility that Mr. Bryan is not inflexibly opposed to | being 2 Presidential candidate in 1904.

Whatever satisfaction may be in the fagt that the map made no mistake, but had the right man, is settled by his own confes- sion. That part of it may be dismissed from the dis- cussion. What was the object of the punishment? Punish- ment has the double purpose of protecting society against further offenses by its victim, and of deterring | others from following his example. The first would have been amply attained by letting the law take its course, as also would the second. The law would have taken the life of the wretch, society would have | been relicved of the danger of his existence, and | would-be imitators wculd have been warned of the sufficiency of the law to overtake and inflict its pen- alty upon them. But the law was superseded and 'a more terrible punishment than it provides was visited, - in. the shadow of its temple and before the open doors of churches, on the Sabbath day. ; Experience has by this time proved that such punishments do not deter criminals: Since the first negro was burned to death in Texas the crime deemed to merit that punishment has not been less prevalent. Negroes have since been burned all over the South, and in Kansas, Colorado and other Western States, with no evidence of subsidence of the crime for which this was done. Granting that the ele- ment of revenge is present in these executions by fire, the cause of that passion which gloats in ex- treme suffering as an expiation of crime is not elimi- nated, and bloody revenge, instead of furnishing: pro- | tection to society, is exposing it to a new evil The effect upon the spectators can be hardly more than the satisfaction of revenge, while upon the criminally inclined nor even fear of like revenge is impressed to deter incurrence of the same penalty. It is to be noted that the class.of negroes who in= cur this extreme mob violence are from the South. We recall no instance in which a negro of a family ! long domesticated in the North has been guilty of the crime for which burning at the stake has become the recognized penalty. The Northern negro has be- | come accustomed to respect for the law. When the | penalties of the law are superseded by mob violence | he sees that the community deprecates the act, and | that although lynchings occur, ‘they are regarded as sporadic, the result of sudden passion, and to be de- ! |plored. Again, the Northern negro finds. himself | more of a man in the commuhity. His franchise and all of his legal rights are secure. He has the advan-~ { |tages of education, a variety of employments are | | open to him, and while his social contacts are only with his own race, his faculty of self-respect is devel- oped and he feels himself the custodian of the honor | and good order of his people. Admitting that it is too much to expect a sudden transformation of the mass of Southern negroes, to { put them on the same plane as those of the North, we can see nov other way to the permanent safety of the South, where the negro is and, as far as men can judge, is always to be. We acknowledge the difficulty of putting ourselves in the place of the Southern people, upon whom this | problem rests as a shadow. But we have the right | to point out that the awful means now used do not | bring the protection which is among the motives of the mob. May it not be usefully suggested that the advanced and intelligent, property-holding and law-abiding ne- groes of the South and leading white men get to- gether aand confer, with a view of using the well be- haved as agents and missionaries among their own people? They can, better ‘than the whites, reach all the members of their race, even the most degraded, | and can surely do something to restrain their crimi- nal tendencies. Burning at the stake has become a merely racial | punishment. A white man as guilty is left to be | dealt with by the law. As long as this punishment is | racial its inevitable tendency is to unite the negroes |in 2 common cause against it and against the whites. When the Sabbath quiet is interrupted by burning a guilty wretch at the stake, with all his confessed crimes upon him, surely it is time for wise men to | try for a better way of protecting society. P e — In announcing a forthcoming entertainment in Chi- cago @ recent dispatch from that city said: “Every woman or girl who has hair that by any line of argu- ment can be classed as red will be admitted free.” We regret that no definite information as to the nature of the show is given, and imagination will have to gasp in an effort to frame an idea of it. R that when Mr. Reed, former Speaker of the House, was asked his opinion on the political situation he stated that everything assures a Repub- lican victory provided the Republicans do not dis- turb the existing tariff. That was his one word of advice to the party, and it appears that in the East the advice is needed. There is of course no danger that any considerable number of Republicans will ever be in favor of de- stroying the protective system as a whole, but there is danger that some of them may rashly venture upon revision, not with an understanding of the welfare of the whole country, but with the expectation of im- proving their local industries. Thus in Massachu- setts we hear of Republicans advocating the free ad- mission of hides to eur markets in order to benefit the shoe factories, and the free admission of wool as a benefit to the woolen goods manufacturers. So in other States there is talk of a reduction here and there for local adyantage, though in each there is the same profession of unfaltering devotion to protection itself. It can be scarcely necessary to point out that if { revision for the purpose of providing for purely local interests take place the great national system of protection will be-so badly shattered it will fall “to pieces. No one of course helieves the present tariff schedules are to remain unchanged forever, but when the change is made it must be done systematically and comprehensively, and by men who have a clear knowledge of the needs of all American industries and | an understanding of protection as a principle of po- litical economy and not a mere temporary expediency of politics. Of all the clamors for revision the most foolish and to some extent the most misleading are those that come from men who have persuaded themselves that tariff revision affords a means of remedying such evils as have been developed by the trust system of i carrying on our greater manufacturing industries. i | | | | WO TARIFF TINKERING. EPORTS from New York recently announced | of dollars’ worth of property in a night are frequent., | danger. | show up loose and lusty, then let the applicant out It is but an inconsiderate man who can put such a remedy into his anti-trust programme. It may be possible for Congress to devise legislation that would restrict the aggressions of giant corporations without hampering the activities of their smaller and weaker | competitors, but certainly tariff reduction would not. President Roosevelt has declared himself emphatically in favor of regulating trusts and ridding them of such powers as are exercised injuriously to the general interests of the country, but he has been careful to “ point out that nothing to that end can be hoped for I {rom tariff revision. | In one of the most notable of his recent addresses the President said: “The real evils connected with | the trusts cannot be remedied by any change in the tariff laws. The trusts can be damaged by depriving them of the benefits of a protective tariff only on condition of damaging all their smaller competitors | and all the wage-workers employed in the industry.” ol welcome is being extend- edto Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnston, nee Landers, who have returned from their wedding trip to Lake Tahoe and are spending a few days in this city. Mrs. Frederick W. Tal- lant will give a dinner for twelve guests this evening in honor of the Johnstons. The happy couple leave to-morrow for | thelr permanent home in Los Angeles and will live for the present with Mrs. Han- cock Johnston. The dinner which Miss Pearl Landers gave the bridal party upon their arrival Friday was a delightful affair. Covers were laid for fourteen and the decorations were Cecil Bruner roses and maidenhair ferns. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnston, Elsa Cook, Charles Greenfield, Miss Margaret Wil- son, ‘Mies Bernie Drown. Miss Mabel Landers, Miss Margarita May, Miss Pearl Landers, Syd- ney Pringle, Edward Sessions, Walter Lan- ders, Mr. Van Dyl(e, 'E Bc‘ntorfl of Berkeley. Miss The marriage of Miss Angela Devlin, sister of Charles J. I. Devlin, the archi- tect, and Daniel A. Ryan, a well-known i attorney, will be celebrated at St. Mary’'s Cathedral next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. ~The nuptlal knot will be tied by the Rev. Father William P, Kirby, pastor of St. Agnes Church. Mr. Ryan will have for his best man Hugh J. MclIsaac, Dis- trict Attorney of Marin County and can- didate for Superior Judge. Miss Marie Devlin and Miss Imalda Devlin, sisters of the bride, will be, respectively, maid of honor and bridesmaid. The ushers will be Dr. A. Giannini, Dr. Willlam M. Sulli- van, Timothy I. Fitzpatrick, B. V. Me- Ginty and J. J. Gildea. A reception at the home of the bride, 618 Baker street, will follow the ceremony, for which a large number of invitations have been ex- tended to friends and relatives of the bride and groom. The couple will spend their honeymoon at Lake Tahoe and on their return will take up their residence in this city. Mr. Ryan is past president of Pacific Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden ‘West and council commander of McKin- ley Camp, Woodmen of the World. His bride-to-be is extremely popular in social circles and has the esteem of a great The wisdom of that statement is unmistakable. Upon no ground, then, can Republicans hope to | profit anything by venturing upon tariff revision/at | this time. Under the existing duties the industries of the people have reached a degree of prosperity hitherto unparalleled, and it would be an act of folly to disturb them by advocating a new fiscal policy. Tom Reed is right. There should be no tariff tink- ering at this time. ——— STOCKTON’S FIREMEN. UT of the sad story of the disasters and O losses caused by the fire that swept Stockton on Sunday afternocon comes clear and vivid | the inspiring report of the fidelity of the firemen of the city, and of the courage and energy with which | they worked for the preservation of the property of their feilow citizens. The world is prompt to recognize valor and loyalty to duty when manifest in battle by land or sea. Whatsoever is done for the flag under fire excites the | admiration of the masses and is sung in poetry and | told in story with every form of patriotic laudation. The courage of the fireman receives less notice, wins | less applduse and has less of public honor. Neverthe- | less these heroes of civic life are as worthy of honor | as any of those who follow the drums and the bugles | and fight under the excitements of battle. They | have an equal devotion to duty, confront dangers far | more terrible than those of war, and are as unhesi- | tating in obeying orders in the face of peril. American cities, by reason of the more or less care- less construction of the majority of their buildings, | are more subject to danger from fire than the cities | of any other civilized country. Every year the American fire losses tun -up an enormous total. Sometimes the flames sweep over so large a portion of a city as to well nigh devastate it. Twice we have { seen cities of first-class magnitude nearly destroyed | by fire, and conflagrations which carry away millions ! { In these fires life as well as property'is endangered, | and at times the death roll is so great as to render ' communities almost forgetful of the loss of buildings. | With such an exposure to fire it is imperative that | we should have a fire service commensurate to the It is to the credit of our people that we have. American firemen are easily superior to any other of their profession in the world. Foreigners who give any attention to our equipments for fighting | fire and to the men who constitute our fire brigades express the highest admiration for both. In hardly any other line of endeavor are we so much in advance of other peoples as in our fire service. It is perhaps just because we are so sure of our firemen, sa reliant upon their steadfast courage and skill, that we do not readily express admiration when in the face of danger and difficulties they perform their duties with unconquerable loyalty. A recreant fireman would excite remark as something extraor- dinary and unexpected, but a brave and faithful fire- man is but what we have expected, what we have 1‘ counted on, and so we pass his service with but | a phrase or two of commendation. Be that as it may, the firemen of Stockton have merited the honor of their fellow citizens and main- tained the high prestige of their profession. Bad as the fire was, it would have been far worse but for their | effective battle against it, and due credit should | be given to them not only in their city but through- out the State, S——— HUSTLER AND CARE TAKER. SHORT time ago the Philadelphia Public A Ledger published the well-known story of the 3 test applied by a business man to determine which of two boys he should take into his employ- ment. It will be remembered that according to the- story he gave each boy a package with instructions to open it and lay the contents on his desk. One boy carefully untied the string, opened the package with | equal care and was preparing to place the contents on the desk of the chief when he discovered that the other boy, who had cut the string with his knife and thrown string and paper on the floor, was ahead of him and had his goods already laid out for inspec- tion, The question is which of the two boys got the job. It has been repeatedly stated that in old times the many friends. 0 . . A pretty wedding was solemnized last Wednesday evening at the home of the | bride’s. parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam M. Balllle, 514 Oak street, when Miss Eliza~ beth M. Balllle became the bride of Harry | C. Moore in the presence of immediate relatives of both families. Rev. William Rader officlated. The home was made at- tractive for the occasion. The floral dec- orations were elaborate and artistic. The bay-window was converted into a bridal bower of foliage, including palms, smilax and asparagus ferns. Over the heads of the bridal party was a large wedding bell of sweet peas and maidenhalr ferns. The adjacent mantel was banked in with the same blossoms. The halls and supper room were done with palms and other follage, dotted with sweet peas. At 8:30, to the strains of Lohengrin, the bride en- tered on the arm of her father, attended by her sister, Miss Blanche Baillie. Rob- ert M. Clare, an old chum of the groom, acted as best man. After hearty congrat- ulations and good wishes supper was served. The bride was attired in a mode colored crepe de Paris, over silk, and she carried a shower bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaid was prettily gowned and car- ried a wreath of asparagus fern. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Moore left for Southern California on their wedding trip. - 8 The local Council of Women, Mrs. John F. Swift, president, will hold its first meeting of the season Saturday after- noon, October 4. in Century Hall, 1215 Sutter stteet. This hall will be the reg- ular place of meeting the ensuing year and the work of the council will be the public school service. At 2 o'clock Sat- urday will be the regular business ses- sion of the executive committee. At 3 o'clock President David Starr Jordan will give an address on “The Public School Service,” to which the public is invited. $5 % (N Mrs. G. H.

The Fesult of the inquiry is a com- plete wreck of the moral of the story. It turns out to signify nothing, and to serve no other purpose than that of displaying once more the old familiar truth that opinions differ and many men have many minds. Some of the business men who were inter- viewed declared emphatically that the hustler would have got the job from them, while just about as many equally good men of business declared in favor of the care taker. . 3 It seems there is no use trying to fix a general rule for human conduct; that all moral tales are de- lusions. The hustler likes a hustler and the careful business man desires careful men about him. If we appeal from individual judgment to the broad ex- perience of the business world we will find that while the hustler gets there first sometimes, the careful man is the strer to get there every time. Moreover, when the hustler gets there he is liable to flop over, but when the careful gentléman arrives he is very apt to stay permanently. About the only safe advice to be given to boys seeking a job is to size up the man- ‘ager as best they can and act accordingly.
