It is designed primarily to meet the needs of teachers who desire to take a course | during their vacations with a view to ultimately se- | curing a It also affords Normal graduates to tgke advanced work along chosen lines pecial cases undergradpate students may, with the permission of the faculty, con- tinue their work during the summer. Well equipped chemical, physical, biological and manual training laborateries will be open for the use of students. A number of lectures by distinguished authors and travelers be given during the term. Special ex- cursions to Mount Hamilton, the seaside and other places of interest are being planned.” As a result of this movement the State Normal School at San Jose will hold continuous sessions the year being divided into four terms of twelve weeks each. It thus provides for the continuous use ition with all its equipments in the | work of educating teachers in their profession. Thus from the standpoint of economy alone it will prove beneficial, for it w keep the great plant in steadfast ciosing it up for months at a time, as has been the custoth in the past. The chief advantage, however, is that® it will enable teachers employed in places remote from libraries and labora- tories to attend the school during the vacation season and advance their own studies They will thus be able to keep abreast of the latest and best ments in the educational world, and will return to their work in the fall stimulated by the attainment of | new ideas and new impulses toward higher stan- | dards of success | Despite the number of giving Normal training in California there are a very large number of teachers who have had no professional training | of the service, instead of move- schools whatever, nor any instruction in universities or any | higher institution of learning. To such teachers the | ummer school at the Normal in San Jose will be | “n opportunity of the highest value, since it affords them a means of aitaining professional instruction without giving up their work during the reguler school terms | Taken altogether the new movement promises to result in the establishment of a permanent course of summer instruction, which will grow as the needs of the profession require it. The location of the school is an ideal one for the purpose, as San Jose is not only a beautiful city in itself, but is well equipped with librarics, parks, schools and churches, has a| highly cultured society, and toward intellectual work is full of influences While we are trying to restrict immigration Nor- way is on her part trying to help us out by passing laws to prevent her people from coming to us, It is a case, however. in which the assistance is not wel- come.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1903. !THE REPORT OF GENERAL MILES HE General of the army has reported the find- T ings of his ofiicial iuvestigation in the " Philip- pines. The sensation that it :night have made | had long beeri discounted by the stern policy of the | President in finding and, as far as possible, punishing all men. and officers connected with the army who had been guilty of conduct inimical to the service or »f the laws of war. So far General Miles’ report is a thorough vindication of the course of the President, which had been sather ireely criticized in both army and civil circles as too harsh. In the 1eport and the comments thereon by mem- | bers of the War Department staff appears one fact that is of value as a suggestion of future military { policy in the islands. The distressing effect of the climate is freely admittel. To the climate must be charged many of the tragic occurrences which stirred and called for the instant attention given the President. The vertical sun affects in violatic the country to them by favorably who are exposed to it . The natives themselves would not be exempt if they attempted to live as Americans | do. But, being adapted by nature to their environ- ment, they so order their smail activities as to es- | cape the effects which are disastrous to aliens.

Fam- and discontent do not tend to peace and order. It is therefore natural that the disturbed conditions observed by General Miles should exist. The Fi 05 They are actuated by the same motives that impel us, though they manifest them in a different way. With us a five years' drought and hard times in Nebraska and Kansas and the de- cline in the value of silver produced the Populist party and the threatened revolution of our political institutions, which was looked upon as the approach- ing tragedy of the republic. Then good times fol- lowed bad, and prosperity succeeded depression, and the threatened political revolution rolled away and was forgotten like a cloud that had passed. Remembering this, let us be patient with the isl- anders and let us be as gentle as we are patient. desirable that this assistance human are ve: The whole matter is a problem that must be left to | the solution of time. The American people took that problem open-eyed, incurring all of its consequences, | and they must be brought to appreciaté that the re- | sponsibility is upon them, and is not to be discharged | by fault-iinding, but by philosophy. For the present it is evident that we must aban- don enthusiastic expectations of trade in the islands and of large commercial returns, and this is well, since it will compel our attention to establishing the foundation of peace and order, of health and con- | tentment, upon which a commercial future must be built. In doing this preliminary work we will be in a position to acquire the confidence and esteem of the natives, which is a very necessary thing to do. It is idle to say that they now regard us with friendship, for they do not, since it would be un- | natural. The necessities of the case have compelled {us to use fire and sword upon them, and their pun- ishment has been severe, and no power can convince |them that it was deserved. War is harsh and un- gentle, and it would be quite unreasonable to ex- pect the Filipinos to immediately regard us with any more friendly sentiment than they felt toward their Spanish conquerors. It is for us to show that while in war we were as harsh as the Spaniards, in peace we far excel them in the honor and justice of our ad- ministration and our intelligent and kindly attention to their interest and happiness. s e e e An item is now going the round of the press to that of climbing stairs, but while it sounds like the teaching of a physical culture expert it may be an invention of | somebody who wishes to bust the elevator trust. THE RUSSIAN CASE. HE rew phase of the Russo-Chinese affair bears the marks of afterthought. It is quite mys- terious that Count Cassini, the Russian Embas- sador at Washington, was not informed by his Goy- | ernment as to the exact features of the demand upon China and was unable to make any reassuring state- ment to our Government prior to the sending of | Secretary Hay’s diplomatic note to St. Petersburg. It is reasonable to suspect that the full Russian | programme was actually embodied in the eight de- | mands upon China to test the temper of the United States. The test having been made, Russia now de- | clares that six of the eight items were not in her programme at all, and thercby removes all reason for persistence in our protest. This method has been adopted to save a diplomatic backdown. It may be said, with considerable confidence, that had Mr. Hay not protested at all Russia would have proceeded with the full programme as at first announced. Russia now declares her intention to respect the integrity of China, and declares that it is adopted into the Czar's programme. The only points remaining affect the revenues of Newchwang, which already go to the Russo-Chinese bank, and will so continue, and the creation of a Russian sanitary commission for inspection and quarantine purposes. Russia declares the opening of more Manchurian ports to be China’s exclusive affair. Inasmuch as . tHe memory and the judgment of those | They | do not go winter-clad in summer nor summer-clad in | | the archipelago may bring to light such a number of Out of this part of the revelations | of the General's report will probably come a shorter | P P Y and is necessity.

In other words, Mr. Hay's original policy of the open door and integrity of Chinese territory seems to be broadly admitted and accepted by Russia. The attempt to make politics at home out of the | protest that has forced these admissions appears in the action of some bodies called the United Irish Societies of New York, which attack Secretary Hay for protesting against the foreign alienation and oc- | cupation of Chinese territory. A's an expression of | Trish sentiment the illogical nature of this protest | appears at once to every intelligent Irishman in this country. Irish politics, all over the world, is or- | ganized or. the one basis of protest against the for- ign alienation and occupation of Ireland. If such | policy be bad for Ireland, it is equally bad for any | other country. If it would be good for China, why | not for Ireland also? On the face of the case Sec- retary Hay, in principle, is a better Irishman than those who made this attack upon him. ————— i A number of i “13\: been found in the southern part of the Philip- pine archipelago, and of course they count as part of our possc=§inn5. it may be their chief value will be that of affording positions for civil officials who may be sent down to take charge of them.

Y the Bureau*of Statistics of the Department of the Treasury there has just been published a statement of the growth of the consumption and the manufacture of silk in the United States, which may be taken as a measure of our increasing wealth. Silk is an article of luxury, and when its use | increases to such an extent as to bring about both | an increase of manufacture and an increase of impor- ‘(a(ionc no further evidence is needed that the stan- dard of life is advancing and that the American woman is obtaining means for the suitable adornment of her beauty. For the eight months ending with February of this year the total importations of raw silk amounted | in value to $38,000,000, as against $29,000,000 for the eight months ending with February, 1902. At the same time the importations of manufactured silk in- | creased from $23,000,000 to $235,000,000. | The continuous development of the industry in re- | cent years is shown by the following figures: The | value of the raw silk imported was, in 1897, $19,000,- 000; in 1899, $32,000,000; in 1900, $45,000,000, and in the | present fiscal year seems likely to be $50,000,000. The | value of the product of the silk manufacturing estab- lishments of the country grew from $12,000,000 in ‘rf‘,'o to $41,000,000 in 1880, $87,000,000 in 180, and | $107,000,000 in 1900; and for the present year the ]‘mtal product will probably materially exceed that | of 1900. Nevertheless, the importations of silk manu- actures are greater in value in the present year than for many years. The manufacturing industry which is thus rapidly increasing is founded upon imported raw material. During the eight months ending with last February ! we imported more than 10,000,000 pounds of raw silk. | There are good reasons for believing that every | pound of it could be produced at home. Efforts | are now being made by the Department of Agricul- | ture to promote. the home production. The Call has | recently directed attention to the start made in silk production in the Southern States, partly by Italian ‘colonists in Georgia and partly by a plant estab- | lished by the Agricultural Department in South Carolina. Reports from the scene of the industry are | encouraging, and it is beligved that from this time { on they will prosper. | The manufacturing industry is at present so de- pendent upon foreign countries for raw silk that it is not likely Congress could be induced to give protec- | tion to the home production by means of a customs | duty. The increasing importations of foreign manu- | factured silk shows indeed that the domestic manu- facturers have a close competition even as it is. The imposition of a handicap upon them by a tariff that would increase the cost of raw material would probably drive them out of business. Consequently the home production of raw silk must be promoted by other means than that of tariff protection for a time at least. Such being the case the action of the De- partment of Agriculture in fostéring it by experi- | mental stations and by aid given to private enterprise is a step in the right direction, and it is to be hoped that the work will be carried on as a settled policy of the Governmett regardless of change in adminis- trations until it has become so firmly rooted that it will be able to stand alone. In the development of a domestic silk-producing industry California ought to take a leading part. No region in the world is so well fitted for producing raw silk as is this. The silkworm is easily killed by storms, and consequently does not thrive well where storms are prevalent. It is in that respect that; Cali- fornia has a great advantage over the Southern States. We have none of the tornadoes and cold the orange districts of Florida. Our climate is the most equable on the globe, and when once well started the production of raw silk could be carried on here with less risk and “with greater success than any- where clse. Reports from Georgia of the success attained by Ttalian colonists in growing silkworms in that State are sufficiently encouraging to stimulate similar en- terprises here. We have already many Italians among our population, and it would seem that with some support they might be induced to undertake the industry. The use of silk is rapidly increasing, as the treasury statistics show, and there will be millions in the industry for whatever State or section of the country first establishes it on an extensive scale. B | | The latest novelty in the way of suicide theories is advanced by an expert in the national capital, who an- nounces that his investigations lead him to conclude that strawberries eaten out of season tend to produce a suicidal mania. It is a good theory for the Atlantic coast, but it would not work here, for with us the strawberry is not out of season long enough to give a mania a chance to get started.

Y, April 28.—The Court of Appeals in a decision unanimously sustains the franchise tax law, revers the decision of the appellate division of the Supreme Court handed down at the January term and sustaining the decision of Judge Earl. The decision sustains the provision for the assessment of the spe- cial franchises by the State Board of Tax Commissioners. There were seven cases, all involving the same question—the validity of assess- ments upon the special franchises of tre | respondent corporations - made by the; State Board of Tax Commissioners un-| | der an act of 159, which amended the | %eneral tax law so as to include as tax- | able real property the sights of street rail- rcads, gas, pipe lines. telegraph, tole- phone and similar public service com- panies in the public streets and places. | Taxes assessed during the three years since the passage of the law amount to $18,412.884, upon an assessed valuation in 1902, for instance, of $268,017,770. ‘The court holds that the Legislature in creating a new system of taxation em- bracing a new kind of property, never taxed before, had the right to entrust to | | | State officers the power of making the | assessment ! such as ralls and telegraph poles, which | had been formerly taxed by local assess-| | | to the specal | franchises and hence that there was no and that tangible property is merely incidental TS, nfringement upon local self-government.
