ORN on January 28, 1843, and reared under B hardy and wholesome frontier conditions, ac- cepting the vicissitudes of that time as mat- ters of course, and coining its experiences into prep- aration for a career, it has been given to but few men in our national history to achieve as McKinley achieved, to succeed as he succeeded, and to pass into immortality as admired and respected by the world. His life was singularly clean and wholesome, and searched it fails to exhibit a flaw which may serve as an evil example to another. In his eulogy of the dead President Secretary John said that he belonged to a generation, boy an: who looked down on no one, and were not nscious that any could look down on them. This n of republican sense of equality. He who has no sense of superiority or of inferiority in the things of consequence in the issues of life is the true citizen of a iree society. The ascriptions of honor to such a -man, as the model of what free in- stitutions produck and the manner of manhood which is their highest expression, as becomes his most intimately A ideal descrif justment of the question will gain some headway. Yet t was only three weeks ago that a white editor in New Orleans declared in his paper that all negro ap- pointees in the South would be murdered as fast as Ecommissioned! Is there no way to pen up the white | editor and the negro lawyer together and let them put | theiy extreme theories into practice on each other? | The wisdom of the country is tired of extremes on | that subject, whether white or black. It is a serious | | problem in our national life and must be worked pa- “'fiently to a solution-on such conservative lines as are | indicated by the achievements at Tuskegee. ! The league orator imagines that he can settle it | by turning loose with a razor, and the New Orleans | | editor that it is adjustable by burning negro office- | holders at the stake. They are both enemies of the peace and order of the country and malign instigators | of trouble, and deserve to.be put in a class by them- | selves, to receive the good-natured contempt of their | i ass and countrymen. / | There have been many stggestions for postponing | the date of the inauguration of Presidents from March | 4 to some time in May, but now comes the Boston | COMMISSIONERS WANT EXTENSION TO THE SEAWALL ted t The Harbor Commissionerrs by their attorney, ex-Govern have very nearly reached an agreement on a proposition to ask the Legislature for authority to expend $2,000,000 for se wall construction. Various estimat touching the cost of extending the wall from the ferry buildgaz to China Basin have been considered.” The necessity for <cawhll extension on the north side is also under consideration. The Harbor Com- missioners take note of the fact that there is an annual expenditure of 0,00 to keep in repajr the wharves and ap- proaches to the docks south of Market street. This sum alone would pay & per | cent interest on a miilion doliars of | bonds. As soon as the commissioners | agree on some delinite measure of legis- | n they will submit their plan to | tnor Pardee and ask?for his judg- | nient regarding the cost and expediency | of the work.

A majority of ghe Electoral College in 1904 will be, 230, the entire college comprising 476 maembers. The | Solid South will furnish 151 votes. If they can get 88 additional votes they will win.

The domestic life in every home is sweet- | a four-horse sleigh, while the old one could be shot | down on a toboggan slide. | INTERSTATE COMMERCE. UT of the confusion of the trust problem there appears to be one point that is quite | O clear—that of the injury done to the public | | by the grant of discriminating rates of transportation. | Consequently every one who has a trust remedy to ! propose invariably includes in it a prescription-for the cure of that evil. Other things may be matters of | doubt and of difference of opinion, but there'is a gen- eral agreement that something must be done to pre- | vent the railroads from discriminating. As a result of the universal agreement on that point every statesman at Washington is seemingly eager to be the first to hit the evil on the head and to hit it the hardest blow. The Interstate Commerce | a farm to the mighty labors and service of the| Commission has a bill designed to give it power to highest statesmanship. They may learn from him ' prevent discriminations or rebates. The Department | that high character is a personal structure which | of Commerce bill has been provided with a clause | ? each may build for himself, and that sordid surround- ings and the unclean in life cannot mar nor tarnish it, but are cleansed by it. The pauses to pay the tribute of respect to his successor in-the Presidency and the whole count ¢ giving %t control over corporations doing an inter- | state business and authority to require such cor- | porations to report all matters affecting their rela- | tions to the public. The Hoar anti-trust bill pro-| vides for puniching all discriminations in freight company of faithiul friends and feilow countrymen | rates, and so does the Littlefield bill. In short, every | remembered the his | birth and visited his old home to do honor to his | 1 and impress his high example. Judge Day properly characterized the address on | sixtieth anniversary of ¢ = that occasion delivered by President Roosevelt as| h adding a classic to the literature of eulogy.” The | exordium and peroration of that eulogy should be| repeated and remembered. The philosophical tone of | President Roosevelt’s mind shines resplendently in the effort. Who can fail to be impressed by the rev- erent and hopeful sentence with which the address| “Throughout our history, and indeed through all history, it has been given to only a few | thrice favored men to take so marked a lead in the | crises faced by their several generations, that there- | er each stands as the embodiment of the triumph- President McKin- ley was one oi these men.” What language could better describe his place or more thoroughly affirm the immortality of his fame? Passing to the peroration, the President therein the duty which the living must learn fym the dead: “We can honor him best by the way we show began? aft ant effort of his own generation. in 2 We must strive to achieve, each in the meastire that he can, something of the qualities which of his life. | liminary necessary is that the put | ‘have reasonable ground for belief.’ 1al deed that we have taken to heart the lesson ! in sight has something in the way of a bludgeon | with which to smite the recognized evil. It would be supposed that since so many bills are aimed at it one might be sure the thing would be , and hit hard. It seems, however, that observers | of the drift of things at the capital are by no means sanguine that such will be the case. The fear is that | the reformers will get in the way of one another, and that a blow aimed by one will be dashed aside by | another blow coming from the opposite direction. The Washington correspondent of the' Boston Transcript says: “There is behind the Elkins bill ‘to ] further regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the States’ a movement which may produce no less a result than the abolition of the Interstate Commerce Commiission as we know it to-day. The Elkins bill confers upon the commission authority 46 | ! petition a Circuit Court to inquire into alleged viola- | | tions of the interstate commerce act. The only pre- | commission " shall | In other words, | it may continue to make, as now, investigations of complaints lodged with it by such machinery jas it has at its command, and leave the rest to| | be done by the court. No more judicial powers are | made him a leader of men, a mighty power for good —his strength, his courage, his courtesy and dig- nity, his sense of justice, his ever present kindliness and regard for the rights of others. He undertook mighty tasks, Some of them he finished completely; others we must finish, and there remain yet others which he did not have to face, but which, if we are worthy heirs of his principles, we will in our turn face with the same resolution, the same sanity, the same unfaltering belief in the greatness of this coun- try, and unfaltering championship of the rights of all of our people, which marked his high and splendid career.” It is of interest to us all, to the present and future of the country, that the inspiration of a life can be <o wholly felt and passed to his fellow countrymen by | the President who walks so straightly himself in_the path toward which he guides his fellow citizens. The fashion set by this anniversary observance at Canton will be permanent. The anniversary of Mc- Kinley's birth will be formally observed each Jear, not as a partisan but as a patriotic duty, and all the high lessons of his life will be perpetuatéd and trans- mitted to future times as an inspiration to keep per- fect the American character he so well represented. ited States Senate has been discussing the The U _annoying possibility that there may be some irregular- ity in our canal treaty with Colombia. Uncle Sam should have taken the ordinary commereial precau- | tion, in drafting the treaty, to except errors, omis- sions, revolutions and customary Colombian cuss- edness. BLACK NONSENSE. HE more one studies the two extremes of the negro question the greater is the respect felt for the wisdom of Booker Washington. We have a great deal of white nonsense on that subject, and the black nonsense is just in evidence. In a meeting held by some league in Washington City a colored speaker broke out in an utterance of the black extreme. He spoke of Moses as first lead- ing the negroes to freedom, which they did not achieve until Joshua made the effort a military adven- ture, when they overcame their enemies and secured freedom by arms. He declared that they must there- fore resort to arms in this country, seeking “some Joshua to lead them. All this would be sad if it were not ridiculous. The orator who emitted this his- torical fantasy is a lawyer, said to be quite well trained in his profession. Yet he thinks the Hebrews were negroes and Joshua a black Toussaint L'Ouver- ture, 3 The incident serves to emphasize the ideas and the work and wisdom of Booker Washington. If, instead of being a lawyer, the orator of the league meetingl had been trained at Tuskegee to milk cows and make butter he wounld be doing his race and country some good, instead of doing“both harm. The wisest of the American negroes will laugh at hi.s’ nonsense, thonghtiul and prudent white people will deplore it, and the prejudice and passion which obstruct the ad- conferred upon the commission by the Elkins bill| than are conferred by statutes upon the Census Bu- | | reau or the Bureau of Animal Industry of the De-| | partment of Agriculture, or the marine hospital ser | vice with its quarantine duties. | It would be a queer outcome of the long agitation | on this subject if it resulted not in increasing the { powers of the Interstate Commgrce Commission but | in transforming that body into a harmless and com- | | paratively uselesé governmental bureau. It is stated | | that should the change take place the comm sion | would suffer in dignity, and everything like a judicial character would be stripped from it. It would be- come a collector of data, with an investigating at- tachment like the office of the Comptroller of the | Currency, but the furthest it could proceed would‘ be to present its repgrts to a court of competent juris- | diction, with such evidence as it might have td™sup- | port its suspicions, and leave the rest to be worked | out by the ordinary methods of prosecution on infor-g mation.” : 5 i an old saying, “Too many cooks spoil the | * and perhaps in the multiplicity of bills and plans for dealing with the trusts, the railway mergers | and their various schemes for exploiting the public | we are going to make things worse instead of better. | It will certainly be a long slide backward if we strip | the Interstate Commerce Commission of its dignity | and reduce it to a bureau. | [ | Some surprise has been expressed at the fact that| the adoption of a measure to insure civil service in! the institutions of the State is absolutely out of the question. It seems strange that any one would ever suspect that professional politicians would adopt a measure which would force them to become useful ! members of the body politic. A complaint comes from the Indiana Legislature | that Booth Tarkington gets too much attention, and | other members do not get enough; so as soon as the ; session ends we may expect every colleague of the | gifted author to whirl in and write a book, not for | | the sake of literary fame, but for the sake of being known as a novelist in politics. —— i | A statistician in Paris has taken the trouble to collect figures of the number of rats killed in that city during7the last year, and finds that the number “was 1,620,000. He therefore concludes that the total number of rats in the city must be in the neighbor- i hood of 3,000,000, or about one to every inhabitant. Another cruel blow has been dealt to the people who delight in high-priced pets. At a cat show in Cincinnati some of the employes of the National Lead Company thought it would be a .good thing to put the stable cat on exhibition, and to their great joy he took the first prize. An Arizona authority puts the case for statehood in this neat way: ‘“Arizona is too far from Washington to be treated like the District of Columbia, and too near to be treated like Luzon.” That is the whole argument in a nutshell, 3 | tion of 1904. The property of the State is ! ! for | chants in the matter of increased fg | be required. | expenditure of $2,000,000 the commissioners | things are summed up a bond issue of | | cbstacles bonds for a greater sum may ! at-the Hoffman; While the commissioners are confident that not more than quired to comvlete work there sentiment favorable to the submission of | a proposition to authorize the issue of 4 the per cent bonds to the limit of $2,000,00.

Revenue derived from harbor tolls will pay the interest and also establish a sinking fund purposes of redemption. Whatever may be the desire of San Francisco mer- i [ ties for commerce nothing in the way of 1 extended harbor improvement can be executed without the consent of the | State. Yet neither real estate nor per- sonal property is subjected to a tax for tance from Market to Channel street along the proposed line of tigg wall is 6000 feet. The whole work will doubt- less be subdivided into six sections of 100 feet each. The deman »f commerce will not permit the construction of more than one sectjon at the same time. Enghneers caleulate that a year's time will be re- cuired for the building of each section, therefore the whole work in view cannot be finished before 1910. The existing seawall extending~rom the foot of Market street north cost about $150 a foot—or $130,000 for a section. The cost of labor is now much higher than it was twenty years ago, hence the future expense may approximate $200 a foot. A rough estimate places the cost of the pro- jected wall of 6000 feet at $1.200,000. In | nddition thereto means must be provided | for building ten substantial wharves. | ch wharf, it is estimated, will cost $75.000. A further outl for filling in will Having in view a possible inclinéd to ask the Leglslature te ce that amount in the proposition to be submitted to the voters.

It is surmised that the regents of the university and trustees of the State school fund will be active bid- ders for the bonds. / At a meeting of the Harbor Commis ioners yesterday a petition for increa in the pay of sweepers was favorably considered, but final action was deferred.
