He told the genial ban- queters that he did not come to them as a candidate e, nor even as a leader, but he neglected to m any further information on the subject. refore only by inference that we can oblain‘ irom the speech any conception of ~the position Bryan now occupies toward Democracy.

Therefore while he no longer aspires to i office, nor even to leadership, he still keeps the war- path and wears his war-paint. With impassioned. ear- pestness he said to the Delaware braves: “All that I ask is for an opportunity to:be in the fight until death takes me from the scene. All that I ask is that where the fight is hottest and the danger great- est T may be permitted to go, for no one has more reason than I to make sacrifice or risk danger for the welfare of the people of this country.” Such, then, is the new role of the former cham- pien.of silver. No longer does he dream of the Pres- idency for himself, no longer does he aspire to leadership of a united party. It is sufficient joy for him to swing the red hatchet and seek the scalp of .every man who in parental hope has named his boy Cleveland or Carlisle. such S — Bids for the “contest” between Jefiries and Cor- bett, who are scheduled to thump one another in this city, willbe opened on All Fools’ day. .

PRESIDENT ASKED TO MEET VETERANS IN SAN FRANCISCO A GERMAN OPINION. ROFESSOR WAGNER of the chair of po- P litical economy in the University of Berlin has published a learned essay on the Monroe doctrine. The text of his article is: “The Monroe doctrine is an empty pretension, behind which is | neither energetic will nor actual power.” In this he is so ‘mistaken as to dilute the value of | his conclusion, derived from such a faulty premise. Behind the Monroe doctrine is the energetic will and power of the United States, and whatsoever nation challenges it will soon learn of the existence of both. The professor, impelled by his initial heat, con- tinues: “Scarcely could such a doctrine be forced | upon a conquered people after extraordinary vic- i tories. No people and no great ruler proclaimed such |a doctrine. Neither England, nor Russia, nor Na- | poleon at the height of his power, ever made simi- | lar pretensions.” { Continuing, the professor cheerfully concludes that | “Middle, Western and Southern Europe have been |and will remain the chief seats of human civiliza- ‘no%.” So Sardanapalus thought that Assyria, with Babylog and Nineveh, had been and would remain | the chief seat of human civilization when Europe was roamed over by naked men and savage beasts. As | the Western Hemisphere contains the richest of the continents in natural resources natural law will make it the seat of a civilization that has nothing to lose | by comparison with that of Europe. Ii European civilization is sufficient, it does not need to seek other fields, and the Monroe doctrine does not injure it. That doctrine is conceived in the value of human | freedom, the benefit to man of republican indepen- dence. It need not be repeated here that no one pretends that it has been a vital educating force to | the turbulent Latin-American countries, but it cannot | be too plainly impressed upon Europe that Monroe- |ism is simply the assertion, the deliberate assertion, lof the right of the United States to say who shall | | be its national-neighbors. It is a doctrine founded lin our determination that there shall be no further | spread of Old World monarchies and institutions in this hemisphere. That is all, and it rests upon reason and our right, It may be said in its essence to be a doctrine of} }(rmllicr, and in that sense the essence of it has been | {acted upon and held to be of importance by every| power in Europe. What has Russia strained every | | nerve to get but a marine frontier on an unfrozen water? Why did France ravage the Palatinate under Louis XIV but to push her frontier to the Rhine, | | which she claimed was the natural boundary of | France, fixed by the division of Europe between the | grandsons of Charlemagne? Why did Germany sing | “Die Wacht am Rhein,” and her soldiers and politi- | cians scheme and measure French roads and bridges, | preceding the Franco-Prussian war, except to enable | Germany to water her horses in a Rhine German on| both banks? Farther back, why did Napoleon march his legions to Moscow except that Southern Europe might drive its frontier northward and forever break the power of Russia by keeping her pent behind a frozen boundary? # Frankly, our métive behind the Monroe doctrine | is exactly the same. We are content with our south- ern boundary, and we intend to keep it intact by for- bidding the planting of European monarchy and in- stitutions on the other side of it. To do so is de- | the United States,” and whoso does it takes the risk involved: The professor in his argument says: “We have no interest in furthering the preponderance of the United States, or England, or both. The world’s civ- ilization would hardly be advanced therehy. Aside from some technical and business’ spheres, what real civilization of the world? What have they done that ‘deserves to be named in the same breath with | the achievements of France and Italy?” This is merely a sneer, but it discloses a phase of German politics, for it points plainly to a desire to | form a permanent German-Romanic alliance, to en- large the Dreibund by including ‘France. To this the U d States has no will to object, if‘it had the | right. The racial, national and political alliances made in Europe do not concern us. They are far| away and do not touch us, unless they are made for the purpose of invading this hemisphere to plant in- stitutions which the Monroe doctrine forbids to grow here. If that be the purpose of a German-Romanic | alliance, 2nd it conceive that its seed and planting time have come, let it appear upon the field and we are ready to try conclusions with it. We are not sensitive of the professor’s sneers about the smallness of our contribution to civilization.” We bave furnished an asylum to millions of both the German and Romanic races, have enfranchised them, panoplied them with all the rights of man, have fur- nished free schools in which they may learn the rudiments of all civilization, and have raised them in- expressibly above the plane where they were kept by the civilization of Europe. Other millions will come; they will breathe free air, and for the first time stand erect as full men. This may not be civilization ac- cording to the views of the Berlin professor, but it suits us and we have no desire to exchange it for the institutions from which Europeans fle- to us as o e e o Perhaps the Senate and the Houde might harmon- ize their differences by permitting the Senate to make rules for the House and the House to make rules for the Senate, and then selecting a committee from the Gridiron Club to act as referee. ' OUR FOREIGN COMMER4E. IGURES furnished by the Treasury Jureau of Statistics show that our foreign commgrce is re- suming its normal rate of advance ’and that the manufacturing industries of the country have been so augmented as to demand a largely increased importation of raw materials. Thus both exnorts and imports are increasing, and all prospects ! romise a considerable expansion of both branches : f foreign commerce during the year, % The exports for January were larger tha.' those of any previous January excepting that of 1501, when the' total ‘value amounted to $136,325,601, # against a value of $134,040,952 for the January of fthia year. In 1803 the total value of exports was bu!’$67,673,- 669, so it will be seen that during the'@ic?:lde our commerce has gxpanded to such-a degree that Janu- ary exports of this year are about double those of the corresponding month of ten years age. The statement of imports is even more favorable. The figures show the largest January imports in the history of our commerce. The total imports in. the | a futile and ineffective body.... That impression is by lion dollar line, being $975,283,637, against $742/ 025 for the twelve months ending with January, 1808. It is to be noted that the -increase in imports is due mainly to the demand for raw material for our manufacturing industries. On that phase of the sub- ject the Bureau of Statistics say;: “In the calendar year 1902 the manufacturers’ materials imported amounted at $453,000,000, against $391,000,000 in the preceding year and $248,000,000 in the calendar year 1896. Manufactures ready for consuwgption also show a material distance, being in the calendar year 1902 $164,788,226, against $135,757,825 in 1901, and $120,- 438,065 in 1806.” In the figures our people can perceive an additional argument for an increase of-our merchant marine. At the present time nearly the whole of our vast com- merce is carried on through_foreign-ships; to_whose owners we pay a h‘ea\fy tribute every year. That trib- ute will continue so long as Congress neglects to en- act adequate legislation to foster an American mer- chant marine, and: it sgénis that Congress will never act until a resolute puBlic sentiment compels it, The extent to which ‘American cities are indebted to foreign immigration is shown by the fact that:in San Francisco only 24 per cept of the population is composed .of native whites of native parentage; in Chicago that element.composes but 20 per cent of the population, while in New York it is. but 21 per cent, and in the borough of Manhattan only 16 per cent. e e s THE WORK OF CONGRESS. B out passing some of the most important meas- ures before it there has prevailed throughout Y reason of the adjournment of Congress with- the country an impression that on the whale it was no means sustained by the facts. ‘Despite the filibus- tering of the closing days in the House and the long wrangle over the statehood bill in the Senate both | sessions of the late Congress were notable for the amount of business performed, and due credit should be given for what’ was accomplished.’ 3 Since adjournnient the experts at Washington have had‘time to go over the whole record'and sum up the work. The results are by no mears unsatis; factory, even though the currency bill, the shipping bill and the statehood bill are not among the meas- ures passed. The record shows that the number of bills introduced during both sessions aggregated 17,560, of which 3018 were reported and more than 2000 passed. In fact, so efficient was the work that it is said the House calendar is clearer than it has ever been before in this generation, and of the vast number of bills submitted only 78 remained undis- posed of. . Among the more important measures of the Con- gress are the creation of the Department of Com- merce, the creation of a general staff corps for the army, the passage of an improved immigration re- striction bill, the amendment of the bankruptcy act, the extension of the gold standard to the Philippines by the provision of a new system of coinage, provi- sion for the redemption of Hawaiian coin with Amer- | ican money and for extending our financial system to the islands, legislation for promoting the safety of passengers and employes of railroads by requiring railways to use safety appliances, and an amendment of the pension laws for the purpose of preventing frauds. In the way of appropriations Congress was liberal during both sessions. “The total for the short session aggregated $753,484,018, as against $800,624,496 for the last session. The total for the entire Congress thus footed up $1,554,108,514, or something more than $100,000,000 in excess of the total appropriations for the Fifty-sixth Congress, the total for that Congress being $1.440,480,438: It will be seen that in the main the Fifty-seventh Congress did-its work with commendable promptness | and fullness, Had it not been for the silly filibuster- ing on the part of the Democrats in the House dur- ing the closing days the record would have been still better. However, the .whole blame does not rest with the House, for the Senators of both parties did about as much to delay business as the filibusters. Thus the Congress which was so effective in dealing with most measures failed to have the honor of reforming the currency, admitting the three Territories and promoting our merchant marine. month of January, 1003, were $85,100,801, against $79,138,102 in January of last year, and $75,168,267 in January, 1893. For the twelve months ending with s approximate the bil-| It required a murder, a suicide and hopeless misery to two families to attract the attention of the au- thorities of this city to the menace . of fraudulent bunko schemes now thriving under the guise of real estate agencies. Perhaps the police may be sui- ficiently jarred to their sense of immediate duty. A NEW MOTOR POWER, CCORDING to reports from London a Brit- A ish inventor has devised a means of making F mechanical use of the etheric waves employed | in wireless’ telegraphy. The experiments as yet have been carried out only with' light machinery, but the inventor is sanguine that in the end he will present the world with an engine which can successfully operate the heaviest machines by an energy trans- mitted without wires. The reports quote the inventor as saying that his system consists of an alternating electrical generator of high fréquency, from which energy is discharged into space just as in wireless telegraphy. From the generator energy is transmitted through the air to a small model car arranged to run on a circular rail- way. On the car there is a collector, by which . the waves of energy are picked up and transformed into an electromotive force, which drives the car forward, the ele'tric circuit being completed by the wheels and the rails. For the purposes of experiment the transmitter is placed in the center of the circle around which {h# railway runs. Thus the car keeps at a uniform distance from the source of power, but there is no connection whatever between the transmitter and the collector. © Of course full credit can hardly be given to the story as .t stands. An inventor is never absolutely reliable when speaking of his own inventions. He is of course‘always sanguine, and not infrequently over- looks difiiculties that are insuperable. Still, so much has been achieved with the force discovered by Pro- fessor Hertz that no one can positively fix a limit to the uses that may yet be made of it. Marconi has demonstrated that etheric energy is powerful enéugh! to operate the delicate mechanism of telegraphy | across the Atlantic Ocean, so it is not impossible it may be made to serve as a motor for cars at a short distance. If the invention has been carried to any- thing like the success now reported we shall soon hear more of it. The inventor of course believes he has the motive power of the future in his hands, and is predicting the coming of a time when energy gen- -erated at a waterfall can be transmitted without wires to drive the street cars and the machinery of a city hundreds of miles away. e .f. | HE Grand Army of the Republic has invited President Roosevelt to attend the thirty-seventh na- tional encampment of the organi- zation in San Francisco. Monday, August 17, is degignated as the opening day at the encampment, but many of the visitors from’ the East will arrive In California a few days before that time. The invitation to the President was mailed in a registered letter last Thurs- day and should now be in his possession. It was deemed best by the officers of the General Committee of Management to send the invitation, of which the fore- going is a fac-simile, direct to the White House, Washington, D. C., although a suggestion was offered that it should be conveyed to the executive by some mem- her of the California Congressional dele- gation. There is an impression in Grand Army posts@that the President will adjust the affairs of his proposed visit to the Pacific, Coast so as to be in San Francisco dur- ing the week of the encampment. How- ever, if he should adbere to the original programme to visit California in May, the veterans could hardly expect the pleasure of his presence In August. Railway and hotel managers expect that there will be an immense gathering of visitors in this city next August. The ex- pectation is baged on the vast number of inquiries concérning raflroad fares and hotel facilities which are being received. —_— PERSONAL MENTION. Captain B. F.
