As far as the bom- bardment of San Carlos is concerned a question of fact is involved, and until it is threshed out no one have been expected in the situation. The policy of the concerted powers was laid down in the note to our Government in 1901. That policy was framed respectfully to our rights and in obser- | vance of the Monroe doctrine. It was agreed that the | allies might proceed to the extremity of a blockade | in order to force Castro to keep his often violated | | word. The feeling that is roused by the bombafd- | | ment is caused by what seems an unnecessary enforce- ment of her blockading rights by Germany at a time when a peaceful adjustment through Minister Bowen was in progress or about to be instituted. It is there- | fore more a question of the necessity and time of Ger- many’s action than of the warrant and propriety of the act itself. There is but little excuse for the outburst of Ger- man feeling against the United States. The people of this country act through their Government, and until the Government subjects itself to animadver- sion there is no reason for attacking it. The admin- istration at Washington has not dictated to the al- lies, but holds them strictly to the understanding of 1901. They may in accordance therewith levy war against Venezuela, and may do all things consistent with a state of war except interfere with the integ- rity of Venezuelan territory, or sovereignty. The | former we have no disposi!io‘ to prevent; the latter we absolutely forbid. That is our attitude, and there is no need of any bluster in maintaining it, for all Europe understands Because it is our attitude we cannot afford to waste any time or strength upon non-essentials, It is for the benefit of all parties that our position be plainly understood. Venezuela, comprehending that we merely protect her sovereignty and territory, leaving | her otherwise subject to such punishment as war may | inflict, is restrained in her evil courses, and inclines her policy toward a peaceful settlement. The allies, know- ing that we deny to them the ultimate spoil and re- sult of war, which is the conquest of territory, are | readier to reach their ends by the peaceful adjustment which is now in process. There is every reason for believing that Minister Bowen’s negotiations are progressing favorably and that he has plenary powers which give him complete command of the situation. There are cheering indi- cations that within a few days the matter will be so advanced that the blockade will be raised, and there { will be no further occasion for friction. | Our position is unassailable and will be maintained | with firmness at Washington. It is perfectly natural | that German politicians should seize upon the sit- | uation to divert attention from domestic matters, | which for months have made a rasping condition in ! the empire. domest There is no such condition here in our politics, and there is no division of opinion to the duty of our Government, nor is there any disposition to abate at all the performance of that duty. The sentiment of representative Germans in Venezuela is against any display of zeal untimely by | the German Government, and that sentiment is shared by the Germans in this country. i It is a good time for Americans to go slow and keep in the middle of the road, confident in the jus- | tice of their position and in the power of their Gov- ernment. The Monroe doctrine will be upheld and Venezuela will be compelled to do justice to the na- tionals of England. Germany and Italy, who have been despoiled by her hot-headed and revolutionary practices. T TR & va——" | Some socialists in Zurich propose to have the city levy a tax of 80 cents § year on every inhabitant over 15 years old, and to increase the fund thus raised by an additional 20 cents per capita to be voted from the general taxes, which would make a total of $118,- | 000, the money to be employed in securing the ser- vices of forty physicians to take charge of the whole city. It would be a cheap bill for doctors, and per- | haps would encourage the undertaking business. | — PARTY GOVERNMENT. i G OVERNMENT by party is so'much a matter | of course with the Anglo-Saxon race that neither American nor British philosophers | give much attention to the subject. In fact, a belief | prevails that without two strong parties there can be no really good representative government. Thus we often hear stalwart Republicans in this country lament the disruption of the Democratic party as.a sort of loss to the nation; and a similar lament is heard among Conservatives in Great Britain over the col- | lapse of the Liberal party in that country. The argu- ment in each case is that the party of administration will govern more effectively and legislate more wisely if there be a strong opposition party to watch it and hold it to accountability before the people. In Germany, where party government is virtually unknown, the rise and progress of parties have been studied by philosophers with the care bestowed on a new and wonderful phenomenon. Looking upon it with the scrutinizing eyes of impartial investigators, | and drawing conclusions with the rigid logic of the schools, the philosophers have developed a theory of party systems which will surprise Americans and Brit- | ish alike. In their judgment, parties so far from be- | ing necessary to representative government are a posi: | tive evil and ought to be got rid of in the interest of ! the nation. One of the most eminent philosophers now living in | Germany is the illustrious and venerable Professor | Mommsen. No German is wiser than he and none | speaks with so much authority in the name of German | learning and scholarship. He says that parties are | bad; and is reported to have declared recently in a | public address that there is no such thing as a “party of law and order”; nor a “party of good government”: nor a “party of liberty,” but that all parties in spirit are revolutionary and despotic. | "He is quoted as saying of the chief political parties | now operating among the German people: | “The Liberals would like to convert the supreme | head of the empire into the- first official of the’ state after the pattern of England and. America. 2% The Center would like to resume the process éfrecon. verting Germany to Catholicism at the point where it was broken off in the seventeenth century, ,. . . | The Junker party . . . would like to defirade the German Empercr into the position of the first among his peers. . The Social Democrats intend, or assert that they interM, to render the economic life of‘ the people independent of the private accumulation of , capital, and that every one, without regard to what he . T !contributes in the way of work, should receive out of , the big general pot the same quantity of soup as his neighbors.” \ Professor Mommsen maintains that if any party had power ¥ would sappress all other parties by the strong hand. He urges all Germans to unite as one party and then grant “minority representation” in leg- islative bodies. Just how that wousd work in practice can decide offhand whether the fort or the Panther | is more than any one can venture to say. The signifi- fired the first shot. But, after all, that is not a mat- | cant point in the speech is the radical arraignment of ' ter of great moment, since such an incident might parties as they exist in Germany. The indictment, if | | drawn against parties in this country, would be utterly | false, and the fact that it is presented by a man of | highest eminence against German parties is, perhaps, | conclusive proof that party spirit and party govern- ment as we know them in the United States are utterly | | unknown among the Germans, whose experience with reprcsentativchgovernm:nt/has as yet been too short and too limited to develop a true patriotic party spirit among them. Congressman Sulzer became seriously alarmed the other day as a flashlight photograph was being taken, thinking that the flash was the fire of a bomb. From what the public knows of Representative Sulzer it has a right to suppose that he feared the bomb was in his own pocket: OUR MEXICAN INTERESTS. BY reason of the probable change in the cur- rency standard in Mexico considerable anxiety is felt concerning the effect the pro- posed change may have upon American interests,‘ and to supply information on the subject the Treas- ury Bureau of Statistics has compiled an elaborate | report on the trade relations of the two countries. It appears that with no other people has our trade increased more rapidly in recent years, and prospects are excellent for a larger increase in the immediate future. A summary of the report says that while our ex- ports to Mexico in 1891 amounted to only $15,000,- | 000 they will be found to have exceeded $40,000,000 last year; and our imports from Mexico, which were $28,000,000 in 1891, were about $41,000,000 in 1902. Concerning the trade of the two countries the re- port states that Mexico is the one country with which | our imports and exports balance. To Canada, that other adjacent country, we sell twice as much as the value of our purchases from it. the Central American countries are 50 per cent more than our exports to those countries. From the West Indies our imports are nearly twice as great in value as our exports to them. From South America our imports are nearly three times as great as the value of our exports to them, and from Asia our imports | are more than double our exports to that part of the world. To Europe we export nearly three times as | much as we import from that continent. In the case | of Mexico, however, our exports at present just | equal our imports, the total value of the exports from the United States to Mexico in the eleven | months ending with November, 1902, being $38,124,- 159, and our imports from Mexico during the same | period $38,712,061. The rapid increase of trade with the United States is giving us a prestige in her markets with which no other nation can compare. That is due partly to our contiguity to Mexico and partly to the large interests which Americans have in the country. It is stated that fully $400,000,000 of American capital is invested in Mexico, and that of course is a strong factor in our favor. ing rapidly. There are now upward of gooo miles of railway in operation, and they enable us to get our goods readily to the interior markets. It is to be regretted that an ‘equally good showing cannot be, made of our trade with other countries to the south of us, but it seems we are making very lit- tle progress in any cf them. The Treasury Bureau reports that to the Central American states our ex- ports in 1800 were $5,206,478, and in 1902 $6,322,683 to South America our exports in 1890 were $38,752, 648, in 1902 $38,043,617; to the West Indies our ex- ports in 1800 were $33,107.222, in 1002 $43,632,051; while to Mexico our exports in 1800 were $13,285,- | 287, in 1902 $39,873,606, and in the calendar year 1902 over $40,000,000. — A storm of protest has arisen like a cloud over South Africa, because of the threatened importation of Chinese as mine laborers. This is evidently one of the schemes of the English for the alleged develop- ment of the Boer States to which the colonists do not take kindly. THE STANFORD DEDICATION. HE dedication of the memorial church at Stan- ford University was something more than the consecration to its purpose and sentiment of a building. It was the formal commitment of the | great university to its purpose and spirit, in the act of solemnly inaugurating the keystone of its group of magnificent structures. It was the public devo- tion to high ideals of a building that will stand for a century to come as the most impressive expression of purpose in architecture this State and the West will know. t Deeper than all this, it is a high utterance of those deep domestic affections and family ties, the most tender of earthly bonds, which speaks to every heart | in the State. The university itself is the coinage of iove and sorrow into a public benefaction of the first order, and its development has proceeded by orderly utterance up to this highest note of a mighty purpose. All who took part in the impressive ceremony will pass in the moving procession of mortality. But purpose, sentiment and great ideals are immortal and never pass away. The sentiments uttered and the beautiful and noble building which inspired them are for 21l time. They will endure as lights and guides to the youth of California and the whole schol- astic world, and their uplifting influence will add to the nobility cf character, the power and prestige of this State while letters endure and learning is the cap<y ital endowment of ma In the discussion of the craze for gambling among fashionable women in the East it is notable that every spcicty leader who is interviewed on the subject says she knbws lots of women who gamble, but not on of them will admit doing any gambling herself. Surely they ought to get into a better set. I St. Louis is winning more enduring fame now as a great American city than possibly she will acquire as the scene of the great exposition. With uncom- promising justice she is dealing severe punishment to the boodlers who disgraced her municipal councils.

At the same time it is natural that those en- tude of that which we have been carrying on in Stockton for the pest two years, should nave given more or less thought to this larger quess With this ex- planation I ieei iree in giving my opinion of the subject. There is no question but that at no time since the discovery of gold in California hs there been o great an interest in our Sta as at the present time. Nearly every prém- | inent Eastern magazine and illustrated weekly paper contains transportation companies’ ad- | vertisements sounding the tcesin of Callfornia | These magazines and pupers, whose ed- | itors continually have their tingers on _the | public puise, abound with articles on Califor- | nia. The Chambers of Commerce within the | State are flooded with letters of inquiry from | the Fast. The Stockton Chamber of Commerce alone has averaged ten such letters a day since December 1, 1902. The people of the E: hungry for’informatlon concerning California. | ‘They want to know about our climate and soli, but the thing they want most to know is how | they can make a living for themselves and families. If a means can be found for supply- ing this information in a thorough manner at reasonable cost, I take it that the best means will then have been found to “‘present Cali- fornia to the people of the East.” A Dbill has been introduced at the present sesston of the Legislature calling for an_ ap- propriation of $150.000 for making an exbibic of California products at the Loulsiana Pui- chase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904. If it were not for the fact that California should do her share toward helping out so commend- able an enterprise as this, 1 would rather take that $100,000 and establish fifteen exhibits of Califorr.ia products in as many cities in the great agricultural district of the Middle West. . i } an exhibit in Topeka, Kansas, and maintain it for a year under the supervision of a man com- petent to answer all inquiries. Such an ex- hibit_would advertise itself. It would be vis- and in & short time become one of the show-places of Topeka. By visit- ing this exhibit and talking with the man in charge, the inquirer could ascertain that which he wants to know more than anything else, namely, how he can make a iIving for himself | and family in California. | It seems reasonable to belleve that show | places such as this scattered throughout the Middle West would be prolific of better re- he cost in one exhibit at the St Louis Exposition, for it is well known that where thete are so many attrac- tions as there will be at St. Louls, visitors | have very little time to spend with any one | exhibit, and where the crowd is so large as it will be there the men in charge of the exhibit will have little time to give to individual in- quirers, So, in my opinion, the best way to present California to the people of the East is to es- tablish exhibit rooms and Information bureaus in the principal citles of the Eszst, placing the same In charge of competent men. 1 have answered your question, but I do not want what I have eaid to be construed as be- ing in opposition to an exhibit at St. Louis. Whatever appropriation is made by the Legis- | lature will be s ifically for such an ex- hibit, and it would be a mistake for Califor- nia fo be unrepresented on that occasion. It has been stated that California will not | be allowed to make a collective exhibit at St. | Louis. but that she will have to show her ce- reals in the agricuitural bullding, her fruit in the horticultural building. her food products in another building and so on throughout the whole list of her products. It seems to me that this would be a very serfous mistake. California_should be allowsd to make a e lective exhibit of her products, so that v itors may be impressed with the great variety | of things grown in our State. In this way | only can they form an adequate idea of the | wonderful possibilities of Californfa. It Is in this variety of her products. as well as In the variety of her climates. that California ex- cels all the States in the Unfon, and this ob- Ject lesson, the most important of all, will be our products through a half dozen buildings. If the management at St. Louis insists on forbidding us to make a collective exhibit then I think we should duct a free exhibit and Information bureau for the benefit of all who may wish to {nquire | concerning California, In this way all who Visit St. Louls will remember the California exhibit, no matter how hazy a recollection they may carry away of the thousands of at- tractions within the grounds, Yours truly, Stockton, Jan. 26.
