The announcement that the promoters | of the plan hope to include within the alliance all South American states leads to the conclusion that the three powers are dissatisfied with the action of Great Britain, Germany and Italy in undertaking to exact indemnity from Venezuela by force of arms. That might mean that the South American states in alliance could do no more than the United States did in compelling the three powers to withdraw the blockade and leave the subject in dispute to the ar- bitiation of The Hague court. Should that be the case there can be no objection to the proposed alliance. There is, however, a danger that the al- liance may undertake to uphold South American countries in the deliberate spoliation of the citizens of foreign countries who may be residing and doing business in South America. Should that prove to be- the object of the league there will be trouble ahead. At the worst, however, the movement toward a united South America will result in eventual good even if a few evils attend the first efforts in that di- rection. Soomer or later an increase of strength brings with it an increase of responsibility, and with that comes an increase of wisdom. The alliance, if formed and maintained, will soon find that it can- not undertake to uphold wrong courses on the part of any one of the allies. Thus in the end, even if be- gun for jingo purposes, it will tend to the peace of the world and the performance of essential justice to foreigners. That tendency will be strengthened by the construction of railways, which will facilitate commerce and develop among the South Americans themselves 2 higher sense of commercial honesty on the part of their governments. has voted money for the Chilean portion. | | | ernment, Buenos Ayres concerning the move- | THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS. HE gains of socialism seem to be in the United l States and the German empire. Here the great- States. est progress is made in the New England | 2 Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Islang the socialist Presidential vote in 1806 aggregated 4143. In the same States in 1900 it was 1&401. Since then in State and local elections it has largely increased in the same territory. 40,185; in 1900 it was 100,719. Up to this time the socialists have not succeeded in electing a candidate to Congress, but at the rate at which their strength is increasing we may soon expect that they will do so, and their economic ideas will be expounded in the House by one of their own number. So far they | seem to increase in the manufacturing centers, and to | follow the planting of manufactures everywhere. So, in the iron and steel centers of Alabama, they made a large showing in 1900. It is the opinion of Josiah Quincey and George Fred Williams, Democratic leaders of Massachusetts, that the political battles of the future will be fought between the Republicans and the socialists; and therefore both advise that the | Democracy ally itself with socialism, carrying over sufficient strength to give the latter a substantial footing as a national party. The socialists seem to have gained strength from the Populists in 1900, for the latter vote fell to 44,622. One feature about the socialist party is its persist- |ence. It does riot seem to have the evanescent fea- | ture that caused such erratic changes in the Populist ; islrcngtlL It persists, and politicians may as well put | it among the forces that have to be reckoned with. | | The labor unions have been found a fertile field for | | socialism. The individual subordination required by | union rules seems to prepare the ground. Then a {Jarge class of men like to be spared the labor of | thinking for themselves, and are willing to seek a sys- | tem under which they will not have to do for_them- | | selves. | In Germany the socialists have long cut a figure in | imperial politics. They stick together with admirable zeal, and it is even suspected that the Kaiser himself as against the other small parties in that body which ;} oppose his policies. In the German elections just held | the socialists proved to be the only growing party. {Thrir vote in 1898 was 2,100,000. At the last election |it had increased to 2,500,000, and the party gained | fifteen seats in the Reichstag. Their strength was | in the cities, and they elected more members than | any other party, the number being forty-nine social- ists to thirty-five centrists, and thirty-three divided | among nine minor partie This strength will no| doubt be largely increased at the second elections, on | the 25th of this month. It is required that candidates have a majority over all, and out of 235 districts 118 | failed to cast a majority and must hold second elec- | tions. it is prob- | able that the socialists, flushed by victory, will gain | substantially in these second elections.

A vast standing army, extreme taxation wasted on the military establishment, and excessively artificial regulations of daily life enforced by the Gov- | all combine to produce conditions ready | for the socialist agitator. But who can account for !the growth pf fhe same cult in the United States? | Here, instead of industrial depression, there has been | | rising buoyancy since 1897. The country is prosper- ; Labor is more generally employed and at bet- | ter wages than ever, and accurate statistics show | that the cost of living has not increased as much as | the wages of labor. Here, too, is perfect liberty. | The cost of our military establishment, even with lthe extraordinary additions due to the Spanish war | and its incidents, is a small decimal per capita and is not felt. There is no compulsory military service. | | Individual genius and energy have ample scope. | Every man may easily own his home, and a larger | | ous. proportion of our wage-earners are frecholders than | in any other country. | It is difficult to see how the artificial propositions | : of socialism could improve the economic condition of | our people. Yet, next to Germany, we show the| | largest growth in socialism. True, it is the dec]arcdi | purpose and deliberate plan of many American | | newspapers and public men to foster discontent ‘among the people. There is some ostentation and | display inseparable, anywhere, from the sudden ac- quisition of wealth, but none of these things seem to ! | offer an adequate explanation of the socialist | | growth. Americans should look before they leap | into that school of politics. Its success implies a| complete revolution in our system of go\'emmcnni | They should examine the socialist leaders closely and | | determine whether they are qualified to erect a new | | system on the ruins of the one that we have, which‘ {was devised by the fathers who fought for the privi- | lege of establishing liberty and equality in the land, and whose work has been amply justified by re- sults. a B PR —— In the recent examination of candidates for posi- | tions as teachers in the public schools of this city many instructors from other counties of the State | took the tests.

HEN the world learned the full story of Wthe assassinations in the royal palace at Belgrade there was an immediate cry that the brain of Russia had directed the arm of the as- sassin. Perhaps there was no justice in the charge, but it is likely to be repeated now that the Czar has hastened to send to the new King chosen by the assassins a note of greeting, expressing desire for the prosperity of Servia and a hope that God may as- sist the King in all his undertakings for the happi- ness of his people. It is a very diplomatic note. It expresses no feeling of sorrow for the fate of the late King, no congratulation on the accession of the new one. Doubtless, ' however, even those formal and studied words from St. Petersburg are grateful to the mon- arch who has taken a throne stained with blood and entered into compact with those who shed the blood. Reports from his capital show that he is greatly in need of comfort from ‘some source. ‘When first the vote conferring the crown was an- nounced to him he is said to have gone almost wild with excitement, and his guards were compelled to keep every one from approaching him. Since that ! time he has learned enough to moderate his joy, | H | many a business is kept going, while waiting for it has now been made evident to him that he is | BIG MAJORITY to rule as a figure-head and do the will of the con- spirators who placed him on the throne. What course will be taken by the new Government is a matter of grave concern to Europe. The Ser- vians may have little regard for this King or that, but, like other people in the Balkans, they have high racial aspirations and national ambitions. Time was when they hoped to be able to annex Bulgaria and make themselves a power around which all the other Balkan States would gather. Those ambitions In 1896 the total socialist vote of the country waflvs‘m linger. It may be that the leaders of the con- | spiracy will feel themselves bound to make some great effort to achieve the desire of the people, and so enter upon undertakings that will hasten the coming of the long threatened crisis in that part of the world. Whether the Russians had any part in the assas- sination or not, it is certain they will do their ut- most to turn it to their advantage. ness of the Czar to recognize his accession to the throne and greet him as King will of course strengthen his partiality in favor of the Russian programme. placed by the military chiefs of the conspiracy will force him to rely upon Russia for protection. He may even solicit aid to overthrow the oligarchy of assassins and establish himself as a King in fact as It appears, therefore, that so far |as the outer world is concerned the results of the assassination have been wholly to the advantage of well as in name. Russia, and that is perhaps the most important fea- ture of the whole affair. An epidemic of fraud and corruption seems to have spread throughout the Federal service, and Washing- ton autharities are uncovering nests of dishonesty all over the country. The disease has extended even to the American consular service in China, where United States officials are accused of selling mer- chants’ certificates to coolies for admission into the United States. In a world where everybody is said to have his price it seems unfortunate that Uncle Sam cannot pay his servants to be honest. APPETITE AND WAGES. APPILY the arbitrators in the matter between the United Railroads of this city and the employes have agreed upon an umpire in Mr. Straus of New York. He is eminent as a scholar, author, diplomat and business man, and his decision will command public approval and support. Mr. Mahon, the arbitrator for the employes, has put a new issue into the case, which adds to its in- terest. The attorney on his side presented the de- mand that wages in each individual business must be fixed according to profits. This would offer a suffi- ciently complicated question to exhaust the genuity of arbitrators, since it provides for such in- equality in a wage scale as would be the despair of statisticians and publicists. If that plan prevail labor must accept the principie, no profits no wages, for for profits, by borrowing money or assessing accumu- lated capital. As il this were not enough Mr. Mahon introduces a purely physical issue. He says that in this zesty climate the outdoor life of street rajlroad men is such an appetizer and makes them so healthy that they are great eaters, and their wages must be regu- lated according to their appetites! There is a con- verse to this proposition, if it stand alone. Per contra, men employed in unwholesome occupations, which destroy the appetite, should get han the lusty outdoor workers. Mr. Mahon may well reply to this that in such occupations there is more sickness, the druggist and doctor have to be paid and life is shortened. But then the out- door, hearty and healthy worker should be debited with his long life," his good appetite, his immunity from sickness and his length of days, and instead of, charging his employer more wages he should get less, in lieu of his savings in life, drugs and doctors. Mr. Straus is a college man, a lawyer and an an- alyst of repute, and he will have _need to use all his | qualities when he comes to consider the good appe- tite standard of wages insisted upon by his colleague. As we said in discussing the profit-sharing measure of a wage scale, there are two sides to every proposi- tion, and so there are to this appetite issue. If Mr. Mahon is not careful he will establish the principle that bad appetite and low wages go together, and we will have to fix wages, not by supply and demand, nor by percentage of profits, but upon a medical ex- amination, and our old enemy, the tapeworm, may, after all, dictate the wage scale and prove a benefac- tor of man’s pocket through taking possession of his stomach. P ——— Many a time and oft have the big stock and produce exchanges of the trade centers of the coun- try raided bucket-shops and scattered the operators thereof, but lately the bucket-shop men of Chicago preferred charges against the Chicago Board of Trade for pretended buying and selling of grain with- out intention to either receive or deliver, and they came very near having the institution raided in great shape. The danger was averted, but when Chicago hereafter boasts of her gall she will include her bucket-shops as well as her world-famous board. Uncle Sam’s popularity among his European friends is likely to turn his head. Emperor William is going to extend the courtesies of the Fatherland to our fighting sailors at Kiel and King Edward is most insistent that American representatives accept his hospitality before they return home. It is evident that we are not only respected in the family of na- tions, but are considered to be one of the big guns. —_— England has taken a stand in connection with the Servian horror which should win for her the good opinion of the civilized world. She has announced in no uncertain terms that she will not recognize the new Servian Ministry if any of the regicides be included in the Cabinet. It is to be regretted that she cannot go further in retaliation. Our journalistic friends from Georgia have been among us and gone. They were sincere in their praise of the reception they received and of the hos- pitality they enjoyed. And we may add that they re- ceived no more than they deserved and only shared with us the pleasure given to have them with us. A white woman sought to kill herself the other day because a Chinese would not agree to marry her. It is extremely fortunate that she did not succeed in her effort at self-destruction. The coolie may relent, and death is too good for a female with that sort of an ambition. Russia has declined any help from the nations for the relief of the victims of the Kishenev massacre. There is a sort of grim, ghastly propriety in a mur- derer burying the victim of his own butcheries. The new King has long been a protege of Russia, and the prompt- Morcover, the condition in which he is in- | less wages ! FOR SOCIALISTS - IN SAXONY —_— & Vol B r7hR e = & & TITLED GERMAN WHO MET H DEFEAT IN THE REICHSTAG ELECTIONS. & - + ERLIN, June 17.—The Soclalists’ victory in the Reichstag elecions, yesterday was largely at the ex- pense of the two Radical parties, who voted as the Socialists did in the last Reichstag on tariff, military and naval affairs. Hence on these questions the new house is not distinctively different from the old one. The returns received up to 11 o’clock to- night from 381 districts give: Conserva- tives 30, Center party S2, Soclalists 52, Poles 14, Free Conservatives 6, Alsatians 6, National Liberals 6 miscellaneous 7. Total members elected 204. Reballoting will be necessary in 177 dis- tricts. The Socialist strength in the new house probably will reach elghty. The most remarkable Socialist gains were in the kingdom of Saxony, where they elected elghteen out of a total of hree members. The Dresdener ten admits that the Socialists polled 100,000 majority over all parties in the kingdom, and the Vorwaerts (organ of the Soclalists) boasts to-day that Sax- ony is a Socialist state. The most striking result of the elec- tions aside from the Soclalist gains are the losses of the two Radical factions and the disappearance of the members of the Agrarian League. The latter, with four members in the present house, failled to re-elect any of them. Dr. Eretel, editor of the Agrarian Tages Zeitung, secures a | reballot at Frelborg, Saxony, with every | prospect that the Socialists will defeat him. Herr Hans, the president of the| league, and Dr. Roesick, its vice presi- dent, are retired. ? The Barth Radlcals get twenty-two re- | | ballots, against thirty-two seats which they held. Dr. Barth gets a reballot In the Koeslin district, with the apparently | certain prospect of beating the Conserva- candidate through Socialist assist- B | tive ance. Herr Richter must submit to a reballot | in the Hagen district, where the Socialist ! candidate leads by 3355 votes, but Herr Richter will win through National Liberal and Center party votes. Prince Herbert Bismarck failed to be elected and must undergo a revote against a Socialist. L4 L i e o 2 e e o ) ST. JOEN’'S PARISH PICNIC. Large Party Enjoys Pleasant Day at | El Campo. The members of St. John's parish cele- brated their apnual excursion and picnic | yesterday at El Campo. The pleasure-seekers were greeted with a pleasant day and at 9:4 a. m. the steamers General Frisbie and Captain Webb left the Mission-street whart with the excursionists. At El Campo many merry-makers spread their baskets in the shade beneath | the trees, while others climbed the near- by hills, where they might enjoy a day of | rest, leaving the children to play In the | felds. Others danced in the pavilion. More than 1300 persons were in the party, but the pleasant day ended with- out an accident. A feature of the day's programme was the Irish jig and reel dancing, for which prizes were offered.

BUNKER HILL GUN ROARS AT CELEBRATION —— Beneath the trees at Sunset Park the 128th anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill was commemorated yes- terday by the Sons of the American Rev- olution, Bunker Hill Assoclation and the Soclety of California Pioneers. The day was ideal for the celebration and an im- mense crowd journeyed to the picturesque park. Upon the arrival of the long train which carried the merry-makers patriotic exercises in hogor of the day were inaug- urated. The Second Regiment band played a grand medley of patriotic airs, after which the Rev. Willam Rader, chaplain of the day, delivered the prayer. . It was an eloquent appeal for the continued peaceful condition ef the country and long life of the executive officers of the national and State governments. Willam G. Badger, president of the Bunker Hill Association, In a few fer- vent remarks introduced Giles H. Gray, president of the day. The latter welcom~ ed the guests and hoped they would en: joy a delightful day. ““We have come here,” he sald, “to com- memorate the day on which was fought the battle of Bunker Hill. That was on June 17, 1775. It was the first time that the aggressive soldlers of the British army fought the American patriots. We have one of the guns used by an American on that memorable day. It Is an old flintlock gun and it will be fired so that you can hear its report echo through the valleys as it echoed when the British soldiers were resisted by our honored ancestors." H. B. Rand, whdse great-grandfather used the weapon in the Revolutionary war, fired the ancient piece of ordnance and when the sound had died in the dis- tance Mr. Gray rang a small hand bell, which is also a priceless relic of the his- toric days. He sald this bell was from metal taken from the Liber®y bell, which rang in Carpenter's Hall. He also de- scribed the battle of Bunker Hill and when he concluded he was given hearty applause. Alfred Wilkie sang “The Sword of Bun- ker Hill,” after which United States Sen- ator George C. Perkins delivered the ora- tion. In part he said: It has been well said that eternal vigilance | is the price of liberty and I may add that I know of no better preventive for the fires of patriotism turning into ashes than the cele- bration of events that mark epochs in our | history. And I know of no occasion which | can better inspire the enthustasm of the people | than the birthday of the savior of our country, | George Washington; or the battle of Bunker Hill. T know of no better way of keeping alive the fires of patriotism, than by holding cele- brations of this character. While we exult in the giory of our natiom, I am reminded of a toast that was given on an occasion more convivial than this. One of the speakers arose to his feet and proposed the health and prosperity or tne United States, which he said was bounded on the north by the Great Lakes; on the east by the Atlantic; | on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and on the west by the Pacific. Ancther arose and #aid, “‘Here's to the United States, bounded on the north by the North Pole; on the south by the South Pole; on the west by the setting | sun, and om the east by the rising sun. (Ap- plause.) It seemed as if that was the acme | of a toast, but it was eclipsed by ome, who said: “‘Here’s to the United States, bounded on the north by the aurora borealis; on the south by the position of the equinoxes; on the east by creation, and on the west by the day of (Laughter and applause.) | As extravagant as this sentiment may be, if each one of us does his duty as a citizen of this great republic, there is no reason why this Government of the people, the people and for the people should not endure until time shall be no more. 1t we follow the precepts of our ancestors there Is no reason why this Government should not continue to be the grandest that was ever Instituted. In passing 1 wish to say, we owe a debt of | | | | gratitude to Willlam G. Badgers who has been for forty years president of the Bunker Hill Association of California. This splendid so- | clety was organized by his energy and zeal. Years ago he said, I will celebrate the day, if 1 have to read the ‘Declaration of Independ- ence' and sing the ‘Sword of Bunker Hill,” my- selt.”” 1t was in the days of our Civil War that he made this statement. He then said: “‘My friends, we must unite and work together and if we cannot fight for the flag Wwe can help those who are fighting for it.” He' said, “"Pour your wealth into the sanitary fund, that | wo may send it tolthe boys in blue, who are fighting to save our country.”” Here was the birthday of the Bunker Hill Assoctation of California. All honor to its founder, Willlam | G. Badger. (Applause.) All honor to those who have assisted him from year to vear. To-day he said, "I bequeath to you this celebration, not mize, but yours.” People of this country by commemorating the anniversary of that great battle you are honoring your country and yourselves. At the conclusion of the exercises there | was dancing and games. A large crowd | watched the races and cheered on the | contestants. The winners were: Girls under 8—Ruby French, first.

Star of the Sea Parish enjoyed a picnic | yesterday at Shell Mound Park which for | goodfellowship, admirauiy arranged games | and dancing could not be easi-| ly excelled, and certainly could not be surpassed. There were many hundreds of parishioners and their friends, and | from the very start the day was one of pleasure for youngster and adult alike. Through the unavoidable and regretted | absence of Rev. Father J. P. Coyle the place of honorary chairman was filled by Rev. Father 4. J. Glles, to whose inde- fatigable labors much of the success of the picnic was due. aue programme of games was indulged in with a will. There were running races and cleverly danced Irish reels and jigs and good-natured Wm, McMahon bowed the sprightly Irish dance music on his| fiddle with such earnestness to set every foot a-going on and about the dance platform. Hospitality, too, was everywhere, as rated by the amply pro- vigloned tables, which fairly creaked be- neath the weight of substantial and dainty viands. The games were contested in the best of humor, and the victorious winners of | prizes came in for generous congratula- | tions.

Baldness Cured vt;y Destroying the Parasite Germ That Causes It. Baldness follows falling hair, falling hair follows dandruff, and dandruff is the result of a germ digging its way into the scalp to the root of the hair, where it saps the vitality of the hair. To destroy that germ is to prevent as well as cure dandruff, falling hair and, lastly, bald- ness. There is only one preparation known to do that, Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new, scientific discovery. Wher- | ever it has been tried it has proven won- | derfully successful. It can’t be otherwise, | because it utterly destroys the dandru germ. “You destroy the cause, you re- move the effect.”” Sold by leading drug- ists.
