Timothy Nationali demanded conces- , but cheered the 1ced a of home r es b 1g that the only ignorant speeches ie had come from Liberals. T.

There no question that Mor- scribed it accurately when he called it a “social necessity atistics of the Irish population recently ed by the Government for the year 1892 con- 1w that something must be done to savg a virtual depopulation. Under existing he people are so discontented that not s disturbed, but emigration is going on 1 extent that the birth rate by no means the drain by migration. tics show that for the year the total num- rants was 40,401, or 0.1 per .thousand of e country’s population, as estimated in the month June. These emigrants comprised 18,893 males 'd 21,508 females, an increase of 531 over the num- ber emigrating during the preceding year, 1901. The portions of the repart taken up with the tables and the analysis of the emigration figures since May 1, 1851—the date on which the collection of these re- urns commenced—show the enormous drain of popu- Jation that has taken place. Between May 1, 1851, and January 1 of the present yegr the emigrants from Ireland make up the enormous total of 3,921,222, comprising 2,040,236 males and 1,180,086 females. The recognition of the causes of that enormous drain upon the population has been one of the chief reason’s why the Tories themselves have conceded the mperative need for reform. The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on the emigration recently, said: “Ire- land will be a very changed country indeed in the next twenty years if such a drain is to continue, for it will ultimately affect Dublin and Belfast as it has been affecting the country towns and villages.” The same authority quotes a saying of John Wesley made more than 100 years ago: “The gentry are contin- wally driving away hundreds, yea thousands, by throwing such guantities of arable land into pasture, which leaves them neither business nor food. Thus it is that man depopulates many parts of Ireland.” It is for such reasons the bill takes rank as a social necessity. Governmental returns show that in 1902 there were 490,301 separate farm holdings in Ireland. Of that number about 400,000 will come within the scope of the present bill and be subject to subdivi- sion and purchase by peasant proprietors. These holdings include 20,157,549 acres, and at present are vned hy 68,711 persons. Mr. Morley described the’ proposal to buy out the landlords and to sell the land at a reduced price to the peasants as “an abnormal remedy,” but O’Connor took an opposite view. He declared the bill is by no means a leap in the dark, nor a wenture upon a new experiment. Peasant proprietorship, he said, has been already tried in Ireland and has been most suc- cessful. In his judgment the measure is nothing more than the pursuance on a large scale 6f a policy that has been tried and found advantageous wherever applied. In conclusion he added that the bill is not only a social but a political necessity, for Parliament has to choose between the bill and chaos and anarchv. is ad fr nd from Thus it comes about that the measure is one of in- | terest to all classes and to fen of all parties. Among the Irish themselves there is the most sanguine op- timism on the subject. Landlords and tenants alike look to it for relief from past grievances. It will, in all probability, pass amid universal acclamation. The results will, of course, disappoint the extreme op- _timists, but it promises tofput an end to many of the existing evils and prepare the way for a new Ireland with a happier destiny than the old. ing he never saw a ed to take the lead in opposition we may | T RESIDENT ROOSEV | pockets of the nation. | anywhere on the earth. of which He is the chief citizen. No matter that in time past, when the opinions of men differed about the perpetual { bond of union, there were empire-builders who dreamed of a Pacific republic, in which Cali- ‘ornia should be the primate. Those dreams were phenomena of the fitful sleep, from which | all men have awakened to realize that the greatness and prosperity and happiness of any one this country depend upon the greatness and unity of the whole. President Roosevelt has the genius that utters the best that is in the people who do In his first speech to a California community he added to the shining chapter | of* American sentiment which he has contributed as an expression of American purpose and In our mountains and forests he saw, as we see, the stored elements of fu- | ture prosperity, and declared that “the man we want to favor is'the man who comes to live and whose interest it is that his children and his children’s children shall enjoy even to a | greater degree than himself that which he has had. We have passed the time when we can | afford to let any man skin the country and leave it.” | Greeting the members of the Grand Army, he said: | under the law in the spirit of self-governing, self-restrained men, who know that anarchic olence, or disorder of any kind, is the hand-maiden of tyranny, the foe of freedom.

He has journeyed from the tide water of one ocean to the shore of the other, and while ! he has been greeted by thousands of Americans in the name of millions he will be hailed in all his trip by no better nor more enthusiastic Americans than here. His journey, from St Louis, was through a landscape still in the érip of winter. In St. Louis snow fell upon him. But after passing the wintry mountains and the blear des- erts he enters California to see vernal verdure on all sides, and to breathe air scented by | orange blossoms, and to walk upon rose-stréewn roads. As he comes northward he will see | the ornamental features of the State associated with its vast productive power. He will see | the smoke of tall chimneys that tell of manufactures, and the far-stretching fields, orchards ' and vineyards, which express an association of industries not seen elsewhere in the world.

HILE Bryanites and anti-Bryanites are | struggling and fighting and filling the Dem- | ocratic camp with the uproar of strife there ‘are some Democrats who find it possible to get far | enough away from the center of disturbance to sit | themselves down and indulge a pipe dream of har- | mony. Initheir retirement they give themselves over to the illusions of hope, and every now and then they ise up and call to the wrangling factions, urging E(hcm to cease troubling one another. It is the con- | viction of these dreamers that a wisdom exhales from | their pipes and that in the fantastic wreaths of the | smoke they can see auguries of victory. Sometimes these appeals are foolish and some- times they are eloquent. There are other times when | they are both. An example of the latter kind of ap- | peal was recently furnished by thé St. Louis Repub- | lic in these words: “Hope is the matrix of victory, and the great body of Democrats are gradually | yielding to that initial inspiration from which success |is born. Con- fidence, courage, resolve and effort are but the succes- | sive unfoldings of power. Democracy’s source of strength will come with the full realization of its op- | portunity. When the people have once sensed the !scope and magnitude of the opening which invites | them they cannot but be touched with the impulse and kindled with the power of desire. The opportu- nity is visibly approaching, and as it draws.nigh | widens and enlarges. It is no mere figure to say that | the gates of victory are unfolding to the Democratic | party.” No one will dispute the eloquence of that passage, and yet few will call it wise. The gates of victory which hope is unfolding for Democracy are but phantoms. In the world of reality no one ever saw a gate unfolded. Only in the realm of dreams can such things be “and overcome us, like a summer's cloud.” Still to the Democrat weary of noises and | exhausted by incessant clamors of the turbulent fac- | tion excited camp, it must be pleasant to dream of | unfolded gates with victory standing on the inside beckoning some favorite son to enter the White | House. | Among the results of this indulgence in dreams we may include the recent attempt to work up a boom for Cleveland as a Presidential candidate. There are men who have taken to it seriously. The Brooklyn Eagle says: “All the Democratic aspirants for the Presidency could ground the arms of their ambition at the feet of Grover Cleveland, but they could do so at the feet of no other Democrat. It would be no humiliation to them to give place to him, for he has been the elect of the people and they have not.” ‘What a dream is that? Could any Bryanite aspirant for the Democratic nomination ground his arms at the feet of Grover Cleveland? At the present time Bryan is with’ one hand brandishing a hatchet to smite the head of Cleveland whenever he gets a chance, and with the other he is diligently working a fine tooth comb in search of a silver man who can win out in the convention. The iriends of Cleveland are not so given to dream- ing as the Eagle. One of them, James M. Eckels of Chicago/ when interviewed on the subject of the re- nomination of his former leader, said: “I am quite sure Mr! Cleveland would not like his friends to dis- cuss his name in connection with the party, and 1 would not undertake to do it. I am confident, how- ever, that ultimately Democracy will accept as it poli- cies those for which Mr. Cleveland stood.” Another Chicago leader says: “Cleveland would not be popu- lar in the West, and I think he has too much politi- cal sagacity to stand for a third term.” i There is nothing left but for the fighters to resume the fighting. The pipe dreamers have nothing to offer but an illusion of hope and a vision of victory stand- ing on an unfolded gate, gazing upward to the illimit- able inane, In hope are contained the potentials. ON TO ST. LOUIS. T is fortunate that Governor Pardee has appointed I as the State’s Commissioners to St. Louis two; such experienced and practical men as Filcher and Wiggins. It is a recognition of the State Board | of Trade and the Board of Trade of Los Ang‘elcs,l which implies the best exhibit the State has ever made abroad. s Mr. Filcher has successfully installed and bene- ficially administered exhibits at Hamburg and Paris, Atlanta and Buffalo, and out’ of his experience knows just what is wanted to get a hundred cents’ worth of good out of every dollar spent in such work. The State must have a segregated exhibit in the depart- ments of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fisheries and mines, for competitive purposes, and then must have a unitary exhibit in which all of her marvels of production are shown together. This will be ar- r.angcd, if not on the official grounds of the exposi- tion, in such contact therewith as to draw the crowd | which wants to see California more than any other State in the Union. There will be hearty co-operation from all parts of the State. We will have the advantage of two sea-’i sons in which to prepare for the great event. Thei cream of the orchards and vineyards can be shown in | glass, and the. promptness of transportation to St.‘; Louis will permit the daily replenishment of the stock of fresh fruits and articles which the people want to see and to use. Every economic organization in the State can contribute its energies in aid of the Com- missioners, in the assurance that its help will be pro- ductive of excellent results. The commission is for work and not display and | dress parade. There will be a California building on the grounds as a meeting place for our people, and to which they may take guests who want to study the social as well as the productive capacity of our State. In that headquarters building the morality and courteous fellowship of life will be apparent, and the opportunity will not be used to show how wild | and woolly we can be. As soon as the commission organizes the work will | be mapped out, and then every citizen who can help should put his energies into making California’s dis- | play the greatest in the greatest exposition of the world’s advancement : Civil service as practiced in San Francisco would m'ake the manipulators of a pea and shell game green with envy. There is probably not a bunko man in !(?wn who possesses the persistent art in pursuit of his schemes as do the men who are commissioned to sho.w us that the “merit” system in public office is a daring policy to make the tenure of office more cor- rupt than it ever was. 2 i —— The comment caused by the refusal of several prominent San Franciscans to accept the vacant post | of Civil Service Commissioner seems to be unwar- ranted. The gentlemen who are declining the prof- fered honor probably believe that the recent investi- gation simply removed the surface slime of the pool and something worse may be underneath. RN 0 The petition of Dreyfus for a new trial is said to be due to the fact that ever since his liberation he has been collecting evidence to prove his innocence, and he now wishes a chance to make it public.

The bill pro- vides fci the appointment of the State Mineralogist, “who,” in the language of the act, “is hereby directed to act under the direction of the Commissioners.” The interest manifested by the Paci Coas: Sta‘es in the silver combination re- ported to have been perfected for the con- trol of the silver output of Mexico by the Guggenheims justifies calling attention to the silver output of Mexico in greater de- | tail than has been given in the telegraph- ic dispatches. Mexico has long been iden- tified with the production of silver and the country is credited with the enormous output of more than $3,000,000,000. In the fiscal year 1900-01 the officlal statement showed a silver production amounting to $74,326,000. The output has trebled in twenty-five years. TONOPAH’S RAILROAD. Tonopah is concerned in the plans for building a railroad to connect it with the outer world by speedier and easier tran- sit than it has yet enjoyed. The Reno Journal says that the line from Rhodes Marsh to Butler City will be sixty-three miles long. The estimated cost is about $20,000 per mile for grading. The construc- tion corporation will be known as the Tonopah Railroad Cofnpany. The line will first be equipped with three locomo- tives and a small amount of rolling stock. The road will not only reach Tonopah, but will also tap Ray, Klondike, Gold Mountain, Lone Mountain and several other mining' camps. Mining as an agency for providing fa- cilities for transcontinental road con- struction has never before been broached, but a scheme that may have that ten- dency has been incorporated at Denver. The Transcontinental Transportation and Mining Company proposes to drive a tun- nel 7000 feet long to connect the terminals of the Colorado and Summit railroad lines in Creek and Summit counties, Colorado, shortening the road to Leadville about fifty miles. Of the enterprise the Denver Mining Record says: By tunneling the transcontinental divide at this point and using the big bore for the over- line trains several hours' time could be saved between Denver and the coast. The company owne the Argentine pass from the base to its summit, the ground, rich in mineral resources. comprising some 530 acres. The tunnmel, now in the mountain a distance of about 300 feet, was started from an excellent site topographi4 cally. The tunnel can be driven for a distance of about 4500 feet without leaving the ground of the company. The tunnel will attain a depth of 1636 feet, while a depth of over 2000 feet will be attained on the pitch of the vein. Tor its entire length the bore will be in min- eral ground. Aside from the revenue to be derived from mining operations upon company account there wiil be a good revenue from the royalties to be pald by companies and les- sees for the privilege of working their terri- tory at the great depth through the tunmel. A smelter will be constructed at Santa Ana, of which the Los Angeles Herald says: The site will be near the track of the South. ern Pacific, and the building will be 60x100 feet, with concrete foundations and a super- structure of brick and stone. The work o building will be,completed inside of sixty days. | The plant will have a capacity of 100 tons a | Men's day when completed, and the iron ore to bs converted into sheet steel will be brought from the company's mines in Loweg California, STRIKE IN SIERRA. The Nevada City Transcript says that a rich strike has been made in the Plum- bago mine in Sierra County at a vertical depth of 800 feet in the lower tunnel, where a fine ledge was uncovered. During the last five years several rich strikes have been made in the Plumbago, but the pres- ent one bids fair to outclass them all. The ledge averages from four to five feet in size and arrangements are belng made to start up the twenty-stamp mill. Work will be started immediately on an_upraise, which will con- nect with tunmel No. 3, 800 feet above. As tunnel No, 3 is_connected with No. 2 this will allow of everything in the upper levels being taken through the lower tunnel and easily con- veyed to the mill. It required more than two years of constant work to drive in the lower tunnel, which is now Into the hillside a dis- tance of 2200 feet, Active operations, says the Yreka Jour- nal, have been begun at the Greenhorn blue gravel mine, about one mile south of Yreka. . Four pumps, have been started to get the shafts and tunnels clear of water. ~When the claim is thoroughly retimbered and plenty of firewood is hauled for steam power. a large force will be put at work. which will prove a great benefit for Yreka. The reopening of this claim will undoubtedly cause a start in the other blue gravel mine adjoining, Which has also been idle for a few years past. Concerning mining conditions near | Grass Valley the Nevada County Miner says: Grass Valley has awakened from her lethargy in mining and the reward will undoubtedly be some rich paying mines in the near future. Among the many mines that are undergoing de. Velopment is the Peabody. The ghaft, When the mine was abandoned, was down 430 feet. Some time ago the mill was put in good order under the charge of C. Christopher, manager of the property, and the pumps started. The | mine was freéd of water and an inspection was made. While the mine has been closed the dritt on the 400-foot level has fllled up with rubbish and this will have to be removed be- fore any exploration work will take place in that part of the mine. Mr. Christopher represents a company that has sold the mine and the price will be paid in ten annual payments. SOUTHERN MINE SOLD. The Angelus mine at the base of Fre: mont -Peak, between Fremont and Cud- daback Lake, says the Randsburg Miner, has been sold for $300,000. The paper says: The property lies about eighteen miles from Rardsburg and consists of a gravel bench. The deposit as now exposed fs about 4000 feet in length and 600 feet wide. E. S. Wilson, who has managed the property, will be retained by the new owners. A large force of men will be put at work at once developing. The Oregon Mining Journal says that a deal has been made for the group of cop- per claims known as the Blue Ledge mines, situated on the high altitudes of the Siskiyou Mountains, on Joe Creek, a tributary of Elliott Creek. The consider- ation, according to the same paper, was $200,000. The Journal says: The copper deposit is located at an altitude of from 4500 to 5100 feet, in a location that is well adapted for mining purposes, for there is plenty of wood and water at hand. While the property Is located in Siskiyou County, the out- | let to the location, owing to the configuration of the mountain is by way of Jackson and Joseph- ine cowties, and the openihg up and develop- ment of the property will mean great things for this section of Southern Oregon. REVIVAL IN NEVADA. A general revival of mining interest in Storey and adjacent counties of Nevada is reported by the Virginia Report, which savs: The outlook for unusual activity in the min- ing industry, not only on the Comstock, but in Flowery, Silver City and Como districts, this year is flattering. In Flowery district the im- provements contemplated by the Equitable Com- pany will result in a material increase in the ————————————— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
