SMITH........30 Tritune Building THE SAN FRANCISECO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 24, GORMAN’S LEADERSHIP. ORMAN’s readily accepted leadership by the G Democrats of the Senate has given rise to a good deal of speculation concerning the re- lation it will bear to the party as a whole. It is con- ceded by Washington authorities that the Democrats of the House will follow the Senaporial leader, and if that be true Gorman is then already at the head of all Democrats who take part in the National Government. There remains the rank and file of the party to be considered. It has been for a long time divided into factions, and the larger faction has been itself divided into many wrangling groups. It is to be seen whether the factions ean be brought into agree- ment by the Congressional leader. In that respect Mr. Gorman becomes a figure of first rate national importance and very naturally there is a widespread interest in his work. It is taken for granted that Gorman will be recog- | nized by the conservatives as the leader of the party | and will be supported by them, and it has been inti- mated that he will endeavor to bring to the support of Democracy the great coyporate interests of the country. There is nothing improbable in that sug- gestion. It has been evident for some time past that a strong element of the party in New York has been working to bring the South into a New York alli- ance, based upon tariff reform and non-interference with “business interests” in the shape of trusts. Mr. Gorman has a good corporation record, though but NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT: C. CARLTON.... Herald Square c. NEW YORK NEWS STANDS: Waldorf-Astorie Hotel; A.

MONROEISM IN EUROPE. . has pointed out clearly the risk that n-American would see in the Monroe doc- protection in the repudiation of in- rnational obligations and a shelter for the spolia- | n of ioreigners.

The prompt and somewhat | jection of this novel proposition has a!—i ation in Evrope. It was the declaration of | ed States, for the information of the world, | s country proposes to be the leader of a hem- | not in robbery and dishonesty, in revolution, | poliation and all the vices which degrade r(o\'ern-" in an effort toward scrupulous observ- international honor and in stability and jus- rnment I'he Temps of Paris devotes a political leader to | bje | | applause of Secretary Hay's action in repudiating the Calvo doctrine, brought forward by Praics. Tt the Argentine Minister of Foreign Af- Temps adds that the Monroe doctrine become the pivot of the destinies of a with which European statesmen will be o reckon. Even the Kaiser, with his Welt led with this doctrine and ridicules the « Argentina in supposing that the United | States would consent to compromise its financial | bar to the Monroe doctrine, to which, sitimately, they will be compelled to submit.” The “Mr. Hay is too sharp to entertain T | ral | rority by bolstering up Latin- krupt States in exchange for their ad- | 7073 | deal | Ler gratifying to The Call that its own po- | sition is so thoroughly recognized by the Continental | press.

We could not accept the substance or the sentiment of the Argentine proposition without degrading ourselves and assuming a distinctly immoral position among the nations i The effort to entrap us originated in Argentina, | +hence o proclaimed his repeal of all interna- tional law, and the hope of its success has had much to do with the turbulence and truculence of cenainb Latin-American States. Much harm having been done by the expectation that such interpretation would succeed, it remains for the United States to complete its useful lesson by the vigorous enforce- ment of the rights of American citizens in this hem- sphere. Heretofore they have been treated by Latin- | America with less respecs than the people of any other country. It is time that an American citizen <hall be made safe in the Western Hemisphere as he is in Europe.

By way of proving the charge he submitted documentary evidence and $500 of the alleged bribe What he did with the rest has not yet been -stated, but he will doubtless use it in the fight. money. { you know what he did in the last campaign? a bad one as a tariff reformer. It was he who man- gled the Wilson tariff and made of it the abomina- | tion which Cleveland refused to sign and denounced as perfidy and dishonor. Accordingly should he now undertake to revive the old free-trade fight, as well as the State rights doctrine that the National | Government should mot interfere with State control of corporations even when engaged in interstate commerce, we should have an old leader in a new role and the situation would be interesting. A notable feature of the issue is disclosed in the re- luctance of the Bryanites to accept the Congressional leader. It is known that Gorman was an anti-Cleve- land man during the Cleveland administration and that he voted for Bryan in 1896, but nevertheless the followers of Bryan are suspicious of him. One of them is quoted by the New York Press as saying: “How can Gorman expect Democrats whom he has | refused to assist to turn in behind him now? Do He was called upon for a contribution to the Democratic Con- gressional campaign fund. He not only positively re- fused to contribute a dollar, but even intimated that it would be just as well for the future prospects of the Democratic party if that party should be defeated again in the Congressional elections. Everybody who had connection with the Congressional campaign headquarters in the last campaign knows that is true.” | There are a good many Democrats who shared the | belief that it would have been bad for the party to have carried the last Congressional elections, and consequently they will not agree with the Bryanites who objected to Gorman on that score. Still even among those men there are many who look askance upon his leadership. Among them are the stalwart free-traders of New England. ington correspondent of the Boston Herald said: “The old Aldrich-Gorman rule has been restored. Mr. Gorman is not opposed to imperialism; he is a protectionist; there is not a single large economic question touching which he is not in agreement with Mr. Aldrich. He is not a Democrat because he be- lieves in anything, but because Maryland was a sure Democratic State when he entered politics, and be- cause he is now the master of the Maryland Demo- cratic machine.” It will be seen that however willing the Democrats of Congress may be to accept the lead of the Sen- ator from Maryland, neither wing of the party is at all eager to follow. Were Gorman a statesman and a party leader of first-rate ability he might easily overcome the discontented elements in the Demo- cratic ranks, but he has no faculty of that kind. He is not a man of large ideas, of popular sympathies, nor of magnetic personality. His successes have | been attained by organizing certain elements in the | Senate. He is a man of the type of Aldrich and Quay and Platt, very competent to manage the ma- chine_but lacking in ability to rouse a people or in- fuse vigor into a great par(}'. His management may have much to do with determining who shall be the next Democratic nominee for the Presidency, but it is not likely to have any effect in strengthening the party as a whole. White men are résponsible for the killing of a good many negroes, but the old darky who practiced “herb medicine” in Philadelphia, and who is suspected of killing thirty people, came very near evening up the score. FOLLOWING OUR LEAD. NE of the evidences of our growing power in the world is the promptness with which other nations follow our lead whenever they can. The organization of large syndicates for the better handling of complex industries was noted at first with apprehension in Europe, but in a very short time similar combinations appeared there. Only re- i cently it was announced that three of the largest machine works in Great Britain have decided to fuse their capital and interests, and that is but one of the many items of the kind that are being continuously reported by our Consuls in the manufacturing centers of Europe. It is not our private enterprises only that are fol- lowed. Ouvur Government itself is looked upon as a leader. The establishment of a Department of Com- merce as a branch of the administration has led to movements in Holland and in Great Britain to estab- lish similar departments. A recent dispatch states that the Government of Holland has addressed letters | of inquiry concerning the project to various Cham- bers of Commerce in the kingdom. The dispatch adds: “Though the Government has hitherto given much attention to the progressiveness of and the changes in foreign industries, yet it feels that a central A Berlin dispatch says “undisguised displeasure ex- ists in German naval circles over America's new naval programme”; and however saddening the displeasure may be to us, we must admit it is natural. We are so much bigger and richer than Germany that she cannot hope to equal us in a ship-building match. The Kaiser had better invite us to rivalry at some other game. United States Senator Money has created some in- terest by his attack upon President Roosevelt. Per- haps somebody caught the sound of the Senator's name and used it to advantage in the affair. A New York expert claims to have demonstrated that a weil-constructed skyscraper will stand for a thousand years, but he has given no specifications as to what “well constructed” means. - organization is wanting, where all matters appertain- ing to commerce and industries, at home and abroad, shall be gathered, sifted and then distributed where it will accomplish most practical benefit to the country.” In Great Britain the demand for the creation of a Department of Commerce comes from the London Chamber of Commerce. There exists as a part of the British administration a department known as “The Board of Trade,” but the duties of that depart- ment are mainly concerned with domestic affairs, such as railway traffic, the management of rivers and harbors and the regulation and control of shipping. There is needed a department to look after foreign commerce. In commenting on the subject the London Cham- ber of Commerce Journal says: “We are now at a period of tense rivalry in trade; our merchants and Recently the Wash«‘ manufacturers are face to face with the keenest com- petition that has ever been known, and that competi- tion is daily developing. Is it not remarkable, in view of the magnitude of the interests involved, that the United Kingdom—the greatest manufacturing l | | | | | and commercial nation in the world—has not in the Cabinet a Minister of Commerce? In the United midable competitor, and whose people are keenly alive to the necessities of modern commerce, the need for such a Minister has already been fully rec- behind.” When the United States leads and Britain follows, the other great nations of the globe must perforce commercial rivalry will be made more intense than ! ever. It is a struggle, however, in which Europe cannot long compete with us while maintaining. the therefore, the commercial struggle may force a gen- eral disarmament, and instead of precipitating war tend to compel the observance of peace. Secretary of State Hay has announced that the United States will not protect ¢hose republics of South | America that will not pay their just debts. And now South American constitutional poodles which yelps at everything best for it.

A report of the estimates says: “From New York to the Guatemalan frontier in Mexico lines of Guatemala has already announced its intention of completing a line from the Mexican boundary through its territory. From the southern end of this railroad construction would have to be done. The line will run along the Pacific slope of the Andes after crossing the Isthmus of Panama, until it enters built across the mountains and through Bolivia, con- necting with the Argentine system, which is now completed practically to the frontier.

Europe complains that American millionaires are despoiling her capitals of the great masterpieces of art which are among their chiefest glories; and at the same time the millionaires are complaining that our tariff taxes are so heavy they cannot bring their pur- chases into this country. J. Pierpont Morgan, who is said to have bought about $12,000,000 worth of the treasures, finding that he would have to pay about $3,000,000 in customs duties at our ports, has settled +the problem by storing his purchases in London. In this case we perceive that a situation that calls for an artistic solution results in nothing but an artful dodge. The steamehip company running a line of steamers from New York to Porto Rico is accused of selling tickets permitting holders to go aboard the Coamo on the day Miss Roosevelt was to sail. It is alleged that the demand for tickets was due solely to a curiosity to see the daughter of the President, and as a conse- quence the company is charged with making a show of the young lady and coining money out of her. o et Some of the New York yachting critics express the opinion that the Shamrock III is an extremely dan- gerous craft and may lift the cup. It will probably be found that the only element of danger in the yacht is the drain she will make upon the purse of Sir Thomas Lipton. N i 0 James R. Keene, the financier, has declined to pay taxes upon his personal property in New York. If he involves himself in a few more railroad deals. such as the one in which he is now entangled, he won't trouble himself to pay tax on anything any- where else. —— A Servian professor has received from four fiercely ! at the Herald Squar 1903. RAISING FUND IN MEMORY OF RABBI WISE Samuel A. Woolner, of Peoria, Ill, pres- ident of the Union of American Hebrew congregations, and Bernard Bettman, col- lector of Internal revenue for the District of Cincinnati and president of the board of Governors of the Hebrew Union Col- lege, are guests of the Palace. They are in the city for the purpose of conferring with Hebrew residents con- cerning the raising of a fund to perpetu- ate the memory of the late Rabbi Isaac M. Wise. The plan has been discussed in Hebrew circles throughout the country and has met with general approval. The promoters .of the commendable project have organized already an Isaac M. Wise Memorial fund, in honor of the great founder of the Hebrew Union College, with a view of raising hulf a millipn dol- lars, and part of this sum, in the shape of a subscription of $125,000, has already been obtained and through the generosity of Jacob H. Schiff, another hundred thou- sand has been assured, yet to be raised. To accomplish the design of the me- morial fund committee it is purposed to apportion the subscriptions to the various large cities, San Francisco's Hebrew resi- dents already having promised to contrib- ute their share. Just what this amount will be is to be determincd at a meeting called for next Thursday evening at the Temple Emanu-El, at which Mr. Woolner and Mr. Bettman will address the as- semblage on the purposes of the fund. Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger, of the Temple Emanu-El, who is the resident director of the college, will preside at the meeting. Discussing the subject yesterday Mr. Woolner sald that he had received assur- ances that San Francisco would con- ‘tribute about $25,000 toward the fund, which it is intended shall be used mainly to insure the future independence of the Hebrew Unlon College and guarantee the standard of scholarship which has been maintained by the institution during its existence of over a quarter of a century. —_—— PERSONAL MENTION. is at the Palace.
