ENATOR QUAY'’S fight for the omnibys state- S hood bill is one of the cleverest and most inter- esting that has been made in th mg time. He has had 2 formidable opposition meet, and among his opponents are ablest parliamentarians of the Senate. It was for a time believed that he could never get a majority to pport the bill, but he has managed to do it and to strate it by a test vote. Senate for a to s some of demo declared a tention to talk the bill to death, and he s now seekir means of for to.a vote, de- pite the lack of anyvsuch thing as a closure rule to n his fight for the bill the Se has the sympa- ass of t the merican people e three Territories is well fitted for state- for each possesses requisite Each has served a long period renticeship under Territorial government and serving of the rights of a seli-governing There is indeed no single good reason to be ing them any longer from the sister- and were it f the population, d resources States, nc stern preju- at ue in the case was well expressed by ona authofity lately in the statement, “Ari- na is too far from Washington to be governed like , and too near to be gov- zon.” en the question was before the House it was cated in a statesmanlike manner. T House is strongly Republican, and the Committee on Terri- ories of that body is also Republican Nevertheless there was no trace nor suggestion of partisanship in the preceedings the House on the subject The for the admission of the Territories was prepared n committee and promptly passed. there was not a single suggestion of sectionalism partisan policy or scandal associated with the meas- ure before the House. In the Senate there have been a point where the opponents of the measure frankly clare an intention to defeat it, not by voting it declare down, but by preventing the majority from bringing it to a vote at all. The opposition has been* conducted with great adroitness, and it required a display of remarkable parliamentary generalship on the part of Quay to get even 2 test vote on the issue. For weeks he waited for an opportunity, but day after day the speakers of the opposition would drool along for hours at a time in speeches that no one listened to, and the Senator from Pennsylvania could not get a chance for a_hear- ing. At last, however, his watchfulness was repaid by the commission of 2 blunder on the part of the opposition. Burnham of New Hampshire had the floor and was counted on to talk for two d. but his Yoice gave out and he asked for a continuance until next morning. Quay objetted to adjournment. Then Culiom suggested an executive session for a consider- ation of the Cuban reciprocity treaty. objected, and thereupon Cullom made a motion to g0 into executive The Pennsylvanian promptly took advantage of the opening, and we ar told “there was a broad grin on the Senate as Sena- tor Quay demanded the yeas and nays.” The vote on the motion stood 35 mays to 27 yeas, and it is agreed that it represents the strength of the two par- ties in the fight over the omnibus bill. Since that first victory,in the conflict Quay has been trying by every means in his power to bring the question to an issue. His opponents, however, have tuck to their tactics of unlimited talking. They rise » speak with stacks of typewritten material before rem session. cnts and from scientific works whose writers were »ent on' proving that the Great.

All of the people sec in his inaugural | declarations the plain purpose which controls him, | He did what a Governor-elect should do, by ex-f amining minutely and intelligently the fiscal con- | dition of the State. Following precedent, it would ! have been easy for himrto have presented to the people | in his inaugural an iridescent bouquet, scented with | generalities and pleasing to the enthusiasm and im- | pulses of his party. - But witness the mortifying re- | action that would have followed the sure disclosure of a fiscal deficit of a million, and the necessity for | an increase in the tax levy! The Governor preferred to go at the public busi- | ness in a sober business way, trusting the people | to present the bouquets at the end of his terin as an | expression of their appreciation of good service ren- | dered bravely under circumstances that might be eas- ily misunderstood. He has created a party situation | that all men comprehend and appreciate. His party is | in power for work and not for intrigue and manipu- | lation, and the -people expect the Legislature to un- derstand this and keep in line with that under- | standing. | T e s o Reports indicate that both Germany and England feel very much disturbed over alleged treaty discrimi- | nations of the United States against them. If ‘the | Venezuelan affair continues much longer our Eu- | | | \ | ropean critics are more than likely to have serious ground to feel worse. SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY. — ! PPROXIMATELY complete returns for the A ship-building of the nations for 1902 have | been published, and the showing is by no ! means creditable to the United States. The construc- on in British shipyards during the year amounted to | 1,642,493 tons, while that of the United States was | !only 317,775. Germany had an output of 279,719 | tons, so that the construction of Germany and the | United States combined was only about a third of | that of Great Britain alone. | It is noted that while the total ship construction of the world was a little less than that of the pre- | vious year, yet there was an increase in the work of several countries. Thus Holland has an increase of | | nearly 40,000 tons, Italy 22,000, Japan 15,000, and | France 104,000. The increase of French construc- tion is due wholly to the legislation designed to pro- | mote the expansion of their merchant marine. Con- ! strucfion of Americans. | It is certainly a curious thing that with our nat- lural advantages over Great Britain for the construc- tion of ocean going ships, and with our augmenting | demand for them, we should still lag so far behind | her in that industry. We have far more abundant supplies in the way of all kinds of raw material for ship-building than Britain has; we have larger and better equipped plants for manufacturing iron and steel; we have more efficient workingmen and abler | designers. Moreover, we have an expanding indus- try that produces more than can be consumed at home, and for which a foreign market is required. Consequently there is an urgent demand for an | American merchant marine, and yet our construction | makes but a beggarly showing alongside that of Great Britain, whose trade has reached its limit and can no longer keep pace with ours in growth and progress. | The only reason why our shipbuilding industries i have not kept pace with the other great industries of i the country iz that they have been unfairly treated ! and neglected by the General Government. The fos- | tering care and protection so freely and so beneficially Egivcn to all American industries an land have been The conference, it appears, has reached the con- | If any | | further action by the State is necessary it should act, | 1 get the money, which would come upon the | | nounce any decisive’ judgment upon either the feasi bility or the desirability of the adaption of the pro- clusion that the present land system introduced by | Gladstone, under which the landlord owns the land | but the tenant has rights which the laidlord cannot | set aside, has been found a source of continual irrita- | tion. It amounts, in fact, to the establishment of a “dual ownership” of the land and satisfies nobody. | The conference proposes that it be abolished alto- | gether and that a single proprietorship be re-| | established. In order to attain that end it is pro- | posed that*the occupying tenant shyll purchase his validity of those claims to a commission of the | holding at an agreed price, subject to supervision by | ar Department, which, after examination, reported | the Government, which is to undertake to finance the | Jschemc by advancing a certain percentage of the { money required to make the purchase. A full statement of the details of the plan has not yet been made public, but a summary of the report which the conference will submit to Parliament says: | landlords to continue to reside in Ireland, and with this purpose in view it says an equitable price should be paid to owners, based upon income, and that pro- visions cught to be made for the resale to owners of mansiefi houses and demesnes. come or the payment of a capital sum producing it at 3 or 3}4 per cen If guaranteed by the state tenants’ repayments should be expended for a term | of years, securing a reduction of from 15 to cent on rents.” 25 per Of course it is not possible for Americans to pro posed scheme of reform. Questions of the pro- prietorship of land and of governmental interference to aid one set of men to obtain land irom another set are so complicated they cannot be rightly solved without vironment, full understanding of the whole social en- Thus if such a scheme as that outlined in the report were suggested in the United States it would be overwhelmingly voted down. Still it may prove to be highly beneficial in Ireland and come near to fulfilling the sanguine expectations of the men who have devised'it. At any rate it prom ises well, for thtre can be no question that the ideal condition of any society is that in which the man who occupies the land and cultivates it holds it as full owner, entitled to every profit he can get out of it and the benefit of every improvement he can make on it. e —— Measures are on foot at Washington to create a bureau for the study of criminal, pauper and defec- tive classes in this country. And after the study has been made what great brain will suggest a remedy? A GOOD EXAMPLE. OS ANGELES has received more than one I large and valuable giit of land for park pur- poses. No giit is more gratefully, received by a growing city. As population increases parks be- cannot be overlooked. Cities which have not ade timely provision for park space have to make it finally at much larger expense than would have suf- ficed if their foresight had been better. The park sys- artistic features attractive to that tourist travel which increases every year and has become an important, if not the most important, factor in the prosperity of that city and of all Southern California. Except in the case of San Francisco, other Califor- nia cities have neglected to provide in time for parks. By parks is not meant plazas, limited squares o ground laid in lawn, for the use of people who go on foot, but ample spaces like Golden Gate Park, where may be exploited, and people may go for pleasure and health, on foot, on horseback and in vehicles. A good example has recently been set by the dona- tion to Oakland of seven acres for Bushrod Park. It is not an extensive piece of ground, but it is a re- minder to that rapidly growing city of a’duty neg- lected. Oakland has had facilities, some of which re- main open, for being nearly surrounded by a system of parks, beginning on the western border and ex- tending to the overlooking foothills, which command a view ol surpassing beauty and great variety. It has been suggested by the State Poard of Trade that a fine tourist hotel located in those foothills would bring to this section of the State a desirable tourist travel. Perhaps Oakland may be impressed now that a fine and roomy and real system of parks, not plazas, would bring her to the front and add to her prestige and prosperity™ Perhaps the example set by the donor of Bushrod Park may inspire others, who are able, to add to that gift, until the lively city on the eastern shore will drop all contention and go to building and beautifying a system of parks, which will add to her all that she lacks. [ % The United States Government will probably es- tablish a mint at Manila. If opinions now in vogue in the islands in reference to American sovereignty prevail the islands will probably conclude that we intend to make money which they may have for the asking.

The name of Alan Dale is so well | known in the world of letters that | he needs no further introduction. “A | Girl Who Wrote;” is one of the strongest stories of newspaper and | theatrical life that has ever been printed. It throbs with the actuali- ties of life and the characters stand | forth as living and breathing human beings in sharp contrast to the usual creations of latter day authors. Mr. Dale has been so long familiar with the doings of newspaperdom and the actor-world that he knows whereof he writes, and it is with no uncertain hand that he paints these startling pictures of realism. His plot finds its motive in the strongest of human emotions and passions. There is not a“page where the inter- | est is allowed to flag and his work has this “dditional charm that it gives a striking pen picture of a | phase of life known_intimately by only the comparative few.* Three issues of The Sunday Ca! give you this great novel complete.
