At Albany he made a speech at a banquet attended by a host of Democratic editors, saying “New York| will lead where Democrats follow, or New York will follow rere Democrats lead,” but the speech fell he Tammany gathering he sent a letter h july read to the braves, but it fared badly. It appears that in the course of his letter Hill had written: “United Democracy can win in 1904 and rout the forces of plutocracy”; and the braves heard it without applause. A little later Attorney General { in addressing the crowd, said Men who rave zbout plutocracy are not good citizens.” It was on Hill and the braves greeted it with unnen a clear cncers Much better than Bryan, something better than Hill, but still sadly, fared Grover Cleveland. At some of the banquets he was not so much as mentioned, save by indirection. At others he was cited as an awful example, and we have already noted that at Albany he was coupled with Bryan as a pair of po- Jitical dead ones. In New York, however, he came out with the honors of the.occasion. His letter was received with cheers, and when one of the speakers referred to him as “ex-President Cleveland” voices from the hall shouted. “Next President.” So Cleve- land obtained at least one “boom,” while the others obtained nothing. It will be seen from all this that the strife between the radicals and the conservatives in the North.and the East goes on with unabated vehemence. Mean- time the South is getting ready to settle the fight in the national convention by throwing her strength solidly on the side of conservatism. Despite the Tammany boom, Cleveland is out of the question, but either Olney or Parker will have the mass of the Southern vote, unless both should give way to unite upon some ‘other candidate of known con- servative tendencies. Bryan has already virtually declared an intention 1o bolt the party should conservative be nomi- nated. The conservatives have not responded §n kind, but then it is not necessary for them to do so, for they showed their temper in 1896 and 1900. The South, of course, will stay with the side that wins, but it will not put its coin or its energy into a Bryan fight again, and accordingly all that is left to Bryan is the power to scuttle a ship he could not sail. It is surely high time for Democrats to drop the attempt tc promote harmony by banquets. We have wow had $10 dinners and $1 dinners, Jackson day idinners, Jefferson and Lincoln dinners, and now Jei- ferson only dinners, but the results in each case have “'been the same. At the present time Democracy {represents no platform and there is no leader who represents Democracy. It can eat and drink and talk, but it cannot harmonize nor keep its temper “ nor hold its tongue. 3 —— ¢ Kansas has once more given an overwhelming vote in favor.of prohibition, and, of course, the “speak- casy” business will have a new era of prosperity. such { these acts COERCIVE COLLECTION HE casual reader of the foreign relations re- port of the State Department may misunder- stand the attitude of this Government toward adjustment of claims held against Latin- America. Where those claims consist of national bonds, isstied for money borrowed for national pur- 3 the | pose. but which are repudiated as to interest or prin- % <P cipal, the United States has not made positive decla- ration of its policy. ;This is evident in the reply of Secretary Hay to the foreign bondholders of Guate- mala. He merely ted that, while this Govern- ment ‘would not participate in coercive adjustment i those bonds, citizens pi the United States who hold them must participate in the benefits of any forcible adjustment. But such bonds constitute only a small minority. of the claims which in sum, ugainst the Latin-American States. The vast majority | of such claims arise in the robbery of foreigners who‘! are in business in those States. With the ex-| ception of threé or four Latin-American States, there onounced instability of government in those atries. A predaceous policy by revolutionary dic- ors has so long robbed their own citizens that the ta i people are wretchedly poor, except the few who can afford to maintain an armed force to protect their verty against their own Government. ch in ces, the most of those States i have long since lapsed into actual savagery except that the nationals of other countries sustain, by their property and enterprise, the institutions of ization. In such investments over a billion of follars of foreign money is embarked, between the Rio Grande and the Straits of Magellan. Its owners are constantly subjected to robbery by military dic tators and they depend for protection upon the Gov- ernments of which they are nationals.

GERMANY’S COLONIES. | | ERMANY has been politically divided into G so many factions that anything like a clear? | understanding of her politics has been yn-| | possible to an outsider. Qnly ‘one oi the initiated ' could keep posted on the rapidly, shiiting relations among ministerialists, clericals, socialists, agrarians, conservatives and radicals, and even they were often | confused by the irregular alliances of two:or more | groups formed for special purpases and dissolved al- { most as soon as formed. It appears, however, that the péople are now dividing into two great parties upon an issue of first-class importance, and itymay | be that eventually these parties will reduce the others’ | to comparative insignificance. The issue at stake is that of the colonial empire which has been so rapidly formed and is costing so | much. Reports from Berlin are to the effect that | while the Kaiser and his Ministers are resolved on | | colonial expansion,’ there a growing discomcnt{ with the policy and a demand for a return of what | is called the “Bismarck policy"—that of keeping Ger- | many strong at home and leaving the outer world to | i | is | as that between the imperialists and anti-imperialists | in this country, or between the so-called “Greater | lBri(aiu" and “Little Englanders” among the British, | It is questionable whether Bismarck was ever really ! this sort of thing keeps up Uncle Sam ought to}: GREAT INTEREST IS CENTERED IN WEDDINGS The many friends of Miss Kate Crocker | Gunn and Charles Morrison Woods crowd- ed St. Luke’s Church last evening to Wi ness the ceremony which made the happy ccuple husband and wife. The church was made artistic with lilies, fleur-de-iis, palms and other foliage. It was essen- tially a white wedding, with just enough Pifk to give a touch of warmth. Rev. €jifton Macon officiated. The bride was lovely in an elaborate creation of white chiffon over sllk with garniture of duchess lace. The skirt was shirred in fine tucks from the waist down to_the flaring flounces. The yoke and fzont panel of the lace trimmed the skirt, and the duchess yoke on the bodice was transparent. The sleeves were shirred to the elbow, ending in a frill of lace and Chiffon. ’ Satin roses were~appliqued about (he bottom of the trailing skirt and orange blossoms were caught in the sash of knotted ribbon. The tulle veil was fas- féned in the hafr with orange blossoms and the bridal bouquet was lilles of the valley. The bride was attended by Miss Geor: giana Lacey, who was becomingly attired in a decoilete gown of pink embroldersd chiffon over pink taffeta, with garniture of | dalsles. She carried azaieas and pink dais- ies. The bridesmaids were Migs Janet Bruce, Miss Helen 1. Woods of New York, Miss Kate Guan of Canada, Miss Gertrude Rithett of Victoria, B. C.; Miss Cheiry Bender and Miss Janette Hocper. All ‘'were daintily gowned in white et~ broidered chiffon over pink taffeta, shic- red and cut decollete and en traine. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were white daisies. The bride’s mother was becomingly gowned In pale gray brocade. George Beardsley, an intimate friend of the groom, was best man and the ushe were George Gunn, Edward Gunn, Charles Hutchinson, Charles Schoonmaker, Hugh Blackman and Harry Markey. One hun- dred and fif reception which foliowed at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. O'E. take care of itseli. The issue, then, is much the same | GuUnn, on Clay street. The drawing-rooms | were prettily decorated by the Misses Worn in apple blosoms and white peonies; the hall ia foliage and the dining-room in apple blossoms.

Our Government has never declared | against the coercive discipline of those States for of perfidy and oppression, and when American public sentiment is aware of the situation the Washington authorities will be backed in the ad- | | for | ministration of a lesson that will humanize govern- ment in South and Central America. Our people have been taught to look upon those countries as weak States. But are they weak? Is any State weak that is absnlt\t:ly protected in the| integrity of its soil and sovereignty under the Mon- | roe doctrine by a power as masterful as the United States? The fact is that they are the strongest group of States in the world. Great Britain has to deiend her own wide-spreading empire. The Continental States, great and small, have to defend their own soil and sovereignty and take care of themselves and protect their individuality against being canceled off the political geography. But the nineteen Latin- American States, including Hayti and San Domingo, do not have to maintain a single warship or soldier for such a purpose. The United States does it for 1}?m Having no exterior defense-to prepare for, af against Europe, those States expend their military ardor in revolutionizing their own Governments and the spoliation of foreigners. The United States will not always be content to be the leader of a hemisphere of such States that are constantly lurid with disorder andin a chaos of civil instability. We do a0t want their territory nor their sovereignty, but we will have to compel them to re- spect their international obligationts or we will share in their turpitude. To this our own people will not consent, and they will soon enforce the alternative and demand that whenever American rights are vio- lated in those States our Government shall take their verbose and swashbuckling tyrants by the throat and compel them to respect the rights of person and prop- erty, which they now violate with impunity. If all Europe were under the hegemony of the Kaiser as the Americas are under ours, does any one believe that we would for a moment submit to such robbery and maltreatment of Americans by European States as are now wantonly done by Latin- America? Then how can we expect Europe to take patiently the mistreatment of its nationals by these nations that are under our hegemony? S — Bryan has announced an intention to make a stump- ing tour of the Eastern cities, and we may now ex- pect to hear of an unusual rush for the country in that section. S—— THE GENERAL POSTOFFICE. l try the Covernment is not governing; it is in business, in the transportation of letters, papers and merchandise and in the issue of exchange for the transmission of money. That business has always been fruitiul of scandals, and most of the dishonesty and indirection -found in the National Government have been in postal affairs. Postmaster General Payne is a keen business man, in the habit of knowing all about any matter wi‘y which he is connected. He instigated an-investiga- tion of the whole department, which is nowsgoing on. President Roosevelt is actively interested and long’ since ordered that the investigation go to the bot- tom, no matter who might be hit, and that guilt be punished. Under such circumstances it is little short of amus- ing to see the Hearst papers yowling and screeching to get the credit of the investigation ‘and to’make political capital out of it. They would better devote themselves to a study of what conditions would de- vglop if the Government went into all lines of busi- ness, as they insist it shall. From the time of Swartout, under all parties, the postoffice, being a business, has been the prey of plunderers and the N administration of the postal affairs of the coun- ir administration they are less republican than any | :plans were he alive to-day and maintain that in his | lifetime he stood for a strong domestic policy, re- | sisted every effort at a “Larger German regarded‘ colonial expansion as dangerous and costly and de- must build large navies to protect them.” The argument for colonial expansion is a strong one. Germany has become a great industrial nation and requires a world market for her products. She has a rapidly increasing population and needs new lands to furnish homes for those who are forced to | leave fatherland in search of means of subsistence. It has been the hope of the Kaiser that he could turn the streams of German ~emigration to German ) . H 2 Mrs. James M.

Driscoll, Mrs. George would have long since vindicated el e el 7 . Yilian saoea position to the imperial policy is founded upon the results of experience. - No success has thus far been | attained in the effort to convert the colonies into | profitable investments. They remain a heavy bur- den upon the home treasury and threaten to become even more burdensome in future. | A recent report of the colonial situation of the em- | pire says: “In the whole East African territory, em- bracing an area of 995,000 square kilometres and con- | taining 6,000,000 natives, mostly subjected to the sys- | tem of slavery, there are only 1200 foreigners, of which there are 875 Germans. The garrison consists of 176 ‘German soldiers and 1693 natives. The next largest German colonial possession is German South- west Africa with 835,000 square kilometres, in which reside only 2105 Germans. The third largest colonial possession is Cameroon, with 495,000 square kilo- metres, embracing 3,500,000 natives and only 433 Ger- i man settlers and a garrison of goo men. In Togo | there are barely 150 German settlers, in New Guinea | 200, Marshall Islands 50 and in German Samoa about | 200. In the Caroline Islands, including Palau and | Marianen islands, bought from Spain in 1899, there | are but a handful of Germans.” Thus the returns show that barely 5000 Germans | have settled in the colonics, while a great stream | of German immigrants continues to flow into the | United States. German trade with the ‘colonics | amounts to but little, while that with the rest of the world is increasing by leaps and bounds. From those facts the opposition draws the conclusion that Ger- | many should abandon further efforts at colonial em- pire. There is thus formed a clear cut issue on 'which every person interested in public affairs must take his stand on one side or the other, and the contro- versy is expected to soon become the dominant one’ in German politics. General W. T. Haines of Maine has been collect- life and deduces from them the conclusion that in this country an uneducated boy has but one chance in 150,- 000 of obtaining distinction, a common school educa- tion increases his chances fourfold, a high school training gives twenty-three times as many chances as the common school, and a college education gives | nine times as many chances as a high school. Even | on that showing, however, the chances are very heavy against any kind of a training, and the surest way for a man to get distinction is to advertise. Ever since Tillman led the revolt in South Caro- lina that overthrew Wade Hampton and Senator But- ler, the aristocrats of Charleston have scorned him, but now they are feasting him because of his fight against Crum. It seems that anything goes in that State so long as it goes against the colored man. China has a suspicion that the European powers which are occupying parts of her territory, by invi- tation and otherwise, won'’t leave when they are asked to do so. Some of her philosophic statesmen must have obscrved the conduct of a hungry dog with a bone and are drawing conclusions. —_— It is only occasionally, perhaps, that San Francisco can learn a lesson in decency and civic ethics from New York, but when it does the suggestion is dobly welcome. Gotham authorities have started a crusade against the loafers who infest the streets to insult women. An Oakland man, gave a startling and sensational illustration of the reckless disregard for human life in these bustling days of ours.

Persistent In their efforts to have a representative on the floor of the House of Representatives. at Washington, the | political leaders of Alacka have deter- mined to enlist the services of Congress- man Cashman of Washington to present their claims in person before President Roosevelt upon his coming visit to Seattle. To that end V. T. Hoggatt, an aitor- ney of Sitka, Is at present in the city pre- | paring a brief setting forth the logal claims of the Territory for recognition in the echambers of the Government legislative body. This he will present to the Washington Representative, hoping that through him it may reach the ears of the chief executive. Concerning his project, Hoggatt sald to-day: “We have taken very bitterly the de- feat of the Cashman bill providing.a Representative for Alaska and we feel that Alaska is not getting her rights. I had a conference with Governor Brady of the Territory before coming down here {and he is as anxious as the rest of us for the recognition of Alaska.” @il @ sons, Mrs. Hugh Webster (nee Rued) and Mrs. J. 8.

The marriage of John J. Hayden and Miss Maud Shortall was solemnized last evening at Sacred Heart Church by the Rev. Father Philip Byrne. The church was crowded with the friends of the bride and groom. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shortall of 304 Steiner street and the bridegroom 1is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hayden of 925 Dolores street. The bride was given away by her fath- er. The best man attending the groom was Philip Walcott. Miss Angie Shortall was malid of honor and Miss Marie Hay- den and Miss Sadie Hayden acted as bridesmaids. After the ceremony the happy couple, escorted by their respective familles and friends, drove to the home of the groom's parents, where they received congratula- tions. Supper and a danee followed, Mr. and Mrs. Hayden Jr. taking their depart- ure from the festive scene after the re- past.
