The United States Congress, which has recently adjourned, made appropriations aggregating more than one and one-half billions of dollars. This fact should be carefully noted by our European friends, who may reflect that if we will spend that much to improve our condition we will spend very -much more to protect what we have. ¢ When Speaker Henderson announced. his retire- ment from politics he stated that he would not re- move to New York, but it is now announced that he is to take Tom Reed's place in a2 New York law firm;, so it seems that when a man leaves politics he never knows what he is going to do until he does it. —_— The worthy and ambitious presentation of an Eliza- | B | quen | pouring into South America, and in some provinces | natives | decide what attitude we are to assume toward the| | that the southern provinces of | Italian immigrants are acquiring the Portuguese lan- | & ¢ gt | tain German schools there, but comparatively little | magnitude of the German colonial movement. !retpmmbilixm are great.” | and healthy land, where the German immigrant may | recently when British adventutrers in South Africa | | Brazil is becoming alarmed it is time for the United bethan play by the faculty and students of Stanford University will do more to give the institution credit and renown than a hundred brutal victpriel on the gridiron. GERMANY AND BRAZIL. Y the plain terms of the Monroe doctrine any | attempt at the conquest of territory in this; hemisphere by a European power would be | opposed by all the strength of the United States. That we are sufficiently powerful to prevent such conquest is everywhere recognized, and as a conse- our right is nowhere disputed by statesmen. There remains, however, another issue to be dealf with. A large number of European colonists are the foreign element will ere long outnumber the Out of such a condition of affairs it is al-| most certain that conflicts will develop between the two races, and it will then be incumbent upon us to rival parties In some parts of Brazil the issue is rapidly taking In the January number of the North Ameri- can Review Mr. Stephen Bonsal, who has achieved | distinction both as a journalist and as a diplomat, | points out that the growth of German colonization in Southern Brazil has already reached a magnitude that i is causing alarm among Brazilian statesmen. He| quotes Senhor Barbosa Lima, a conservative leader, as saying in a recent speech in the, Brazilian Congress Brazil are being that while the shape. slowly but surely denationalized; guage and becoming Brazilians the children of Ger- man paresdts in the colonies deem Germany to be their fatherland, retajn the German language and celebrate with great fervor all the German national festivals and anniversaries. It has long been known that the German Govern- ment is fostering the colonization of Germans in the | southern states of Brazil and that a considerable | sum of money is appropriated every year to main- | attention has been given in this country to the real | It ap-| pears, however, that sooner or later we shall have to give-attention to it. Mr. Bensal says: “With Baron Von Treutler, the German Minister to Brazil, making a tour of the southern provinces and addressing the German colonists in speeches which the Rio press pronounce to be impregnated with patriotism and love | of the fatherland across the sea; with the appcarance‘ of a German squadron to be stationed permanently in Caribbean and South Atlantic waters; with the an- nouncement that the Hansa merchants have pleted their commercial conquest of the country by the purchase of all the ships of the Brazilian Lloyd— the time is ripe for a survey of this little known part of the globe, in which our interest is little but our com- | Exact statistics of the strength of the Germans in the Brazilian provinces are not attainable. German authorities, however, speak confidently of the growth | Dr. Herman Leyser, who has re- cently published a book on the subject, says: “No- where else are our colonies, those loyal offshoots from | the mother root, so promising as here. To-day. in these provinces over 30 per cent of the inhabitants are Germans, or of German descent, and the ratio of their natural increase far surpasses that of the Portuguese race. Surely to us belongs the future of this part of the world, and the key of it all is Santa Catharina, stretching from the harbor far into the in- terior, with its hitherto undeveloped, hardly suspected wealth. Here, indeed, in Southern Brazil is a rich of the colonies retain his nationality, where for all that is comprised in the word ‘Germanisimus’ a glorious future smiles.” Of course the United States is not going out of the to look for trouble. We are not going to in- terfere with German colonization in Brazil so long as it is conducted with due regard for the peace of Brazil. All experience, however, has shown that where men of two distinct races come into contact with one another there are sure to arise dissensions and strife. That is what happened when American migration reached California and came into contact | with the Spanish inhabitants. It is what happened reached the Transvaal. It will probably happen in Brazi! when the German colonies become strong enough to expand and undertake in earnest the com- mercial and industrial conquest of the country. When the conflict comes we shall have to take part, and it is-just-as well for us to ponder the problem before- hand and know what we are going to do and how we are going to do it. It is to be noted that while the issue as yet has at- tracted but little attention from the public, some of the more far-sighted of our statesmen have already given a close study to it. Senator Lodge declared in a famous speech that the time is coming when we will be forced either to abandon the Monroe doctrine or to fight for it, adding that in his judgment it would never be abandoned. The speech was the subject of a good deal of adverse criticism at the time, but the Senator never undertook to explain the nature of the danger he feared. In the light of recent revela- tions concerning the situation in Brazil we can under- stand better what the Senator meant. Certainly if States to begin to give heed to the situation. The Board of Supervisors has again set itself to the task of providing commodious and architecturally ture of considerable useless wind. B — Fand intimations from various quarters that the fight made upon Roosevelt in the South be- have been uttered from Southern*newspapers, hut the spirit that inspired them has its dwelling-place in the Southern prejudices. In short, if the stories be true, the outburst against the President in this instance is to lead Northern men to look upon the f’resident as a mischief-maker and a headstrong fool. the first place it is surprising that so much wrath should have burst out against Roosevelt for appoint- McKinley, who appointed more negroes than Roose- velt.

The words of condemnation no animosity to the black race nor any regard for and is designed not so much to affect the South as to accept that theory, and yet it is not irrational. In such feeling displayed in any part of the South against is needed of the apparent inconsistency. Mr. Roose- ‘velt himself has’ expressed surprise at the feeling dis- | played and has taken the trouble to write to the At- lanta Constitution defending his course. The theory of a New York origin for the attacks would explain that feature of the situation, but there | would remain a demand for an explanation of‘the motives of the New Yorkers. The New York Press undertakes to furnish it. After quoting a statement of the President himself that the agitation is the result of “an outcry apparently started in New York for reasons wholly unconnected with the question nomi- nally at issue,” the Press goes on to say: “This source is in the press agencies operating -in the inner offices of the great ‘trust’ interests whose headquarters are in this city. They are the same agencies ‘which have announced that the labor unions are demanding that John Mitchell go on the ticket' with Mr. Roosevelt as Vice President; that all the murderers and drunk- ards of Keatucky have sworn to carry that State for the Democrats unless Colonel Roasevelt'is beaten for the nomination; that the corporations of the country will shut down and throw everybody out of employ- ment unless some ong is found to replace him in the chief magistracy of the nation.” The programme of the trusts is said to be to prc-’ vent Roosevelt getting the Republican nomination; failing in that, the next step will be to back a Dem- ocratic candidate to defeat him before the people; and as a last resort to organize in the House of Rep- resentatives an opposition powerful enough to pre- vent” him from accomplishing anything should he be elected. To carry out the scheme it is of course necessary to rouse against the President every kind of hostility possible. The fight made in the South is therefore but a part of a large and far-reaching struggle. Such is the theory that finds favor in the Eédst. It may not be strictly true, but it will be just as well for the people to take note of it and watch for developments later on. There is at least one woman in New York whose patriotism has received such a shock that it is not likely to récover. The lady posed as the Goddess of Liberty om® Washington’s birthday and almost died from pneumonia. GORMAN’S LEADERSHIP. NDER the leadership of Gorman the Demo- U crats of the Senate have been promptly dis- ciplined and harmonized. Instead of being a mere group of discontented statesmen theysare now an organized opposition. They have led to adopt a definite policy of action for the extra session and to agree to support it unanimously. Reports from Washington are to the effect that the discipline has been shown to a marked degree al- ready. Even Morgan has been brought into line and will no longer filibuster on his own hook. It is said he fRas agreed to a programme which provides that he shall be allowed to print in the Congressional Record his ten speeches on the canal treaty, that there shall be a vote on the proposed amendments to the treaty on Tuesday, and that immediately thereafter a vote shall be taken on the treaty itself. The establishment of discipline was not brought about without trouble. Some of the Democratic Senators have enjoyed the liberty of independent ac- tion which has been theirs under the ineffective lead- ership of Senator Jones, and they were by no means willing to give it up. Moreover, it is said they rather resented the election of Gorman, who has been out of the Senate for a long time, and who, moreover, represents the faction that defeated the free trade fea- tures of the Wilson tariff when it was under consid- eration. The younger men, however, had no leader. They looked for a time with hope to Bacon of Geor- gia, but Bacon went over to Gorman and the strug- gle ended. By way of bringing the party into line Gorman had an interview with every Democrat in the Sen- ate.” It is reported that he assured them he is not a Such assurances, however, were not necessary. In any event Gorman would have been chosen leader and given well nigh dictatorial powers, for the simple reason that a majority of the party in the Senate felt that discipline is needed and that Gorman is the only man who can bring it about. The new leader ap- pears to have justified the expectations of his follow- ers, and as a consequence we are now receiving some- thing like definite information of what the minority will do with respect to both the Panama and the Cuban treaties. Gorman’s leadership will bring no surprises to the country. His party will seek to amend the Panama treaty and will oppose the Cuban treaty. It is re- called that during his former career in the Senate Gorman was never in favor of a canal, either at Pan- ama or at Nicaragua. He would have no objection to-seeing the whole enterprise defeated. He will, however, make no direct opposition to it, for he is well aware that the people demand it. Against the reciprocity treaty, on the other hand, a determined fight will be made, and, despite the reported statement of Senator Lodge that he had polled the Senate and found a safe majority large enough to ratify it, there now appears a probability of its defeat. The substitution of an organized opposition in place of a factious one will be gratifying to the coun- try. Nevertheless it is to be regretted that the Dem- ocrats have not been able to find a leader with larger ideas and a broader mind than Gorman possesses. No one questions his ability as an organizer or as a parliamentary tactician. He is one of the most re- sourceful men in the Senate and one of the most per- suasive. He will be fully a match for either Quay, Platt or Aldrich in caucus work or in any of the maneuvers on the floor, but beyond that his leader- ship will profit the Democrats nothing. He is not a great orator nor a great statesman. He can provide his party with no issue upon which to appeal to the people. He stands for no principle, nor, indeed, for any particular policy His leadership, therefore, while potent in the Senate, will have no appreciable effect upon the larger politics of the country, and the wrangle between the Bryanites and the reorganizers will go on as before. EE———— Maine is a prohibition State and has been so for many a year, but a Boston man who has been making studies of life there says a goo"d thany of the stalwarts of the State have a habit of drinking alcohol and water before breakfast, and they call it “half and half.” i b The announcement that Cornell students are plead- ing for pure water, but cannot get it, is curious. If a university has not sense enough to keep its water supply pure, what are we to expect of ordinary cor- porations?

This is the Jeast important committee of the Council, but has charge of all transfers of prop- erty. —— e SARATOGA PREFARES TO RECEIVE HER GUESTS Arrangements Are Completed for the Annual Drive Through the Blossoming Orchards, SARATOGA, March 12.—The arrange- ments for the fourth annual Saratoga blossom festival have been completed and the success of the affair Is now assured. The outing among the blossoms promises to attract hundreds of visitors from the surrounding country, as well as a large number of guests from San Francisco and Oakland. The several committees have worked energetically, and everything pos- sible will be done to add to the pleasure of the visitors. The orchards are now in bloom and the trees present a pretty sight. The railroad has granted special rates for the occasion, and it is expected that the attendance will far surpass that of preceding years. —_—— Sherwood’s at Home.
