ORE than a week has gone by since the lowa Democratic Convention knocked Bry- anism down and dragged it out, with every M evidence of liking the job, and Mr. Bryan has not been heard from. The strongest Bryan paper in the State, the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, which read anti-Bryan Democrats out of the party until that old Democratic Gibraltar went Republican, incoher- ently and with some he-hysterics, and an air of “Please forget,” accepts the discovery that its idol has clay feet, and, after a brief lamentation, falls in. Where is “the voice” that used to make the Platte tremble? The party has had a long attack of aberration of mind. Mr. Bryan was the aberration. . | Many will recall as a2 more than occasional ex- | perience a man suffering from some brain trouble who is sent to the asylum where he “sees things.” He fancies he is a2 locomotive and can be stopped or he is Moses leading Israel | Such afflicted persons have | only by a red light; through the wilderness. been known to think they were women, and their fantastic illusions have carried them through mater- 4 . na! duties. Everybo 'mpathizes with such a man | back ‘get "em agai The Democratic party began to see things ten age and got worse until in 1896 it took Bryan statesman, and 16 to 1 as the divine ratio, and went stick, sterk, staring mad. It may be getting better of this affliction, of which everybody is glad, but everybody 1s afraid it will “get 'em again.” The party has a singular history of failure to see clearly in great crises. In the last hali century the country has passed through two capital crises. Prior to the Civil War the Democratic party had practically shaped the policy of the republic since 1Bo1. Its rule was interrupted during all that time only by the election of Adams in 1824, of Harrison in 1840 and Taylor in 1848, The party made a credit- able financial record, thanks to Jackson, and in the main abided by its straight-laced notions of consti- tutional construction and its laissez faire idea of government. But when the great crisis of 1861 came, ané men had to elect to support or oppose the Union, the Democratic party had an attack.of aberration of mind and went wrong. It saw Lincoln was a Nero, Grant a Caesar; but Jeff Davis was Washington, and Lee a mixture of Israel Put- nam, Horatio Gates and Anthony Wayne. The party refused to follow its national leaders ther and march behind Douglass to the music of the Union, but instead it put on butternut clothes, wore the head of Liberty cut out of an old copper cent for jewelry, and got drunk when the Confed- crates had a2 victory. In its conventions it lamented the coercion of States, the death and burial of liberty. and in every possible way made a fool of itself. In spite of it the Union was saved, but its hallucinations continued until Vallandigham himself, in the convention at Dayton, Ohio, took a new departure, acknowledged the restoration of the Union and the constitutionality of the constitution, and the party began to emerge from its fantastics. In short, it got back from the asylum, and while the neighbors did not like to remind it that it had Reen crazy, they did not care to do business with it for jear that it might “get 'em again. The Dayton platiorm was adopted in 1866, but the country required cighteen years aiter that to get confidence enough in the soundness of Democracy’s mind to intrust it with the Presidency. Mr. Cleve- land, in whom the people had confidence, looked the crazy thing over and declared he could keep it from hurting itseli or the country. He undertook the job, and in the second great crisis, when the pub- lic credit ebbed, the treasury was mear bankruptcy, the Government was about to become insolvent and ruin could be averted only’by sound financiering, the old thing went crazy again, ran away from Cleveland and whooped and hollered up and down the road un- til it got everybody scared. Yet Mr. Cleveland only wanted to enforce the ideas of Jefferson and Jackson as to the standard of valye. His ideas and plans were exacfly and se- verely Demoeratic, but the mad party knew not the sound of its own voice. Now it has got back to where it was when the Dayton platform was adopted. It is back from an- other turn in the asylum. The folks are glad to see it home again and hope it is well, but really they fee! wugpicious and don't want to do business with it. when he comes “cured,” is afraid he wi but still -everybody years for a | visions in which | diffusing a similar sentiment among | primarfes or on election day. ELEMENTS OF CITIZENSHIP. UITE a notable portion of the discussions at the various educational meetings of the year has been devoted to consideration of the very cvident need of a better type of citizenship than that which prevails among us. It has been sug- gested that the universities can do much to instill a larger amount of civic virtue among its graduates, and that the public schools can be made a means of the general masses of the people. There appears to have been nowhere any dispute at all as to the. need of some such training. In that respect educators agree that the education they have been providing falls short of the needs of the country and the time. The issue of course is not a new one. The com- plaint now being made by the professors and the teachers at their conferences has been made often enough before by the press, by statesmen and by preachers. The only new feature added by the edu- cational conferences is the suggestion that school and college training can be made serviceable in pro- moting the desired increase of civic patriotism and political interest among all classes of citizens. One of the best addresses on the subject was that made at the recent conference of the State Educa- tional Association of Pennsylvania by Professor Ed- munds of the Centrai High School of Philadelphia. | of the | He began by saying: “The characteristics ideal citizen may be classified as three—interest, telligence and loyalty. Any two of these without the in- other will produce an unbalanced citizen, whose very strength along one or another line may be a source of danger to the community. It is the | combination of interest and intelligence without loy- alty that gives us the ‘grafter, or corruptionist, whose masterly skill in the lobbying of vicious legis- | lation is the amazement and despair of our time. is the union of interest and loyalty without intelli- | gence that gives us the mob, whose reason is over- | swayed by the passionate appeal of the demagogue | . into acts of violence and lawlessness. The citizen who combines loyalty and intelligence without inter- est is a frequent type in our cultured classes, and his lassitude and indifference to political and social evils is a serious menace to the safety of the state.” It is the citizen of the third of Professor Ed- | munds’ classification whose problem is of most in- terest. law rather than by education. The mob very rarely affects American politics. The citizen of intelligence and of loyalty, who lacks interest in public affairs, is | the man upon whose shoulders rests most of the blame for bad government in State and municipal politics. He could save the situation if he would. The problem is to delermmc how to get him to do it. Argument, exhortation and even been tried time and again te rouse the typical “ citizen” nearly always with but little success. invective have good Sometimes a spirit of reform stirs a community, a fairly full vote, but ordinarily the vote is light and the gangs of the bosses have little or no difficulty in | carrying a sufficient number of offices to give them a virtua] control of the municipality. Even when the reform movement is successful it passes quickly and makes no permanent impression upon the course of political life, so that Professor Edmunds was right in saying: “The Americgn has not proven himself capable as yet of an abiding and permanent devotion to the daily business of the Government. Our ideals are industrial and economic rather than political, and there is probably not one of us that would not read an account of the personality of J. Pierpont Morgan in preference to the work of the daily proceedings of the municipal council.” We are soon to have a municipal election in San Francisco, and we shall then have once more an op- portunity to put to the test of actual trial the virtue of our intelligent and loyal citizens. conclusion that a considerable number of them will be found wanting in public interest. They will talk of good government, they will sincerely desire to have it provided, but they will not vote either at the It appears that amount of argument can ever convince them of the truth of the statement that their “lassitude and in- difference to political and social evils 1s a serious menace to the safety of the state.” Whether the schools and the universities can do anything to rouse that class of citizens may be doubt- ul, but it will be well for them to try. Under our governmental system civic virtue is of such impor- tance that we can well afford to resort to every means to inculcate it. There can be no genuinely gocd government where intelligent and loyal eiti- zens are indifferent to political duties, and that truth can never be too oiten preached nor too thoroughly taught. In the latest development of the oriental situation even China must be able to see the sardonic humor of the predatory nations. Japan has commanded Pe- king not to yield to Russian demands. If the Chinese obey Japan they will offend Russia. If they submit to Russia they will have Japanese wrath about their ears. And if they do nothing they will antagonize both. To say that China is on the horns of a dilemma is only to express mildly the condition of | affairs. TRADE WITHOUT RENT. OME interesting statistics have been comfiiled S by the Boston Globe concerning the extent of trade carried on in the ten largest cities of the United States by persons who do business on the streets and thus save the cost of renting a shop or an office. The calculation is that in the ten leading cities of the country the amount of capital invested in such business enterprises aggregates upward of $10,000,- 000 and gives employment to more tha¥ 100,000 per- sons. In this, as in all other kinds of business, New York holds the foremost place. In that city there are found to be 32,851 persons engaged in that kind of trade, and, though they have more than $3,000,000 of invested capital, they pay no rent, Chicago is cred- ited with 20,000 such traders, with a capital of $2,000,- 000. Philadelphia has about 15,000 street merchants, having a capital about the same as that of Chicago. St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore are estimated to have each about 5000 street traders, with a capital of $500,000; while Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco and Buffalo have each about 4500 merchants of that kind, and in each there is employed a capital esti- mated at about $400,000. In nearly every one of the cities named the laws prescribe that a man cannot establish a business on a street corner unless he have a wagon, horse and harness. It is estimated that these represent a value of at least $3,000,000. Flower, fruit and boot- bhcking stands add large sums to the total. Then in some cities there are quite a number of restaurants It| The grafters will have to be dealt with by | to a sense of his duty in political affairs, but | and then we have | It is a foregone ! no | mcus, but of course there is no way of arriving at an accurate estimate of the whole. In New York it | is calculated that the street trade of one kind and ; another amounts to $2,000,000 annually. From these small ventures there have emanated some of the foremost men of business of our time. They get a start without paying rent, but once started they find the street corner too ‘small for their en- terprise, and ere long are doing a business that re- quires a whole building for their stock. The street | stand, in fact, does not look very big, but for the right | man “there’s millions in it.” The Governor of California has at last an official | residence in which to rest his august person and to | receive visitors who believe that California is on the | map of self-respecting States. The structure should | be made an object of general interest to which Cali- fornians may point with pride as an evidence of a new | era in decency in public affairs, O St. Louis the country has heard much, and | long since learned to care little. There has grown up in the public mind a conviction that the | controversy will never amount to more than a blow- | ing of horns and a beating of tom-toms. From that | serene state the American people must now be | aroused. The ‘warring parties are indeed not yet ready to engage in actual fight, but they are seek- ing to bring other cities into line on one side or the other, with the evident intention to so arrange mat- | ters that when the struggle breaks out in arms the | | whole Uhited States will be involved in civil war. The facts are these: For some time past there has | | been more or less typhoid in St. Louis, and the au- A SPREADING WAR. F the irrepressible war between Chicago and | thorities of the city have contended that the evil is due solely to the dumping of Chicago water into the Mississippi River through the medium of the fa- mous drainage canal. For the purpose of prevent- ing Chicago from using the canal for sewer purposes a suit has been brought in the proper courts and is now being heard. St. Louis has presented an awful | array of evidence concerning the impurities poured forth into the Mississippi by the canal, and she has | also presented evidence of the existence of typhoid within her confines ever since the canal water began to mingle with the water of the big river. Such a showing was something of a shock to Chi- cago, and she set about rebutting it. A New Eng- land scientist, name not given in the reports, was | called in to knock the St. Louis case silly, and he has | done so.. Incidentally he has alsp bowled over Baltimore, and now there is a roar from the shores of the Chesapeake. It appears that the unnamed | scientist from New England went on the stand and testified that the typhoid in St. Louis was caused not | by the Chicago drainage, but by germs imported in Baltimore oysters. He added that these germs, once located upon lips by the process of eating oysters, would be diffused through the city by the process of kissing. It will be readily understood that such a statement set up as a defense for Chicago has been highly exasperating to Baltimore, where oysters and | kisses have been regarded as genuine luxuries well suited to one another and absolutely harmless, no | matter how mixed or mingled. Baltimore is very rightly protesting against the effort of Chicago to defend a drainage canal by set- i ting up the declaration that the waters are better and | safer than oysters and kisses. The whole people of the United States will sympathize with Baltimore in | her efforts to refute the slander. Chicago has, in fact, gone too far. She may if she will teach her own youth that sausages and a handshake in Chicago are better than oysters and kisses in St. Louis, but she should not go so far as to put up a scientist to swear on the stand that the generality of ofsters and kisses are more pestilential than drainage water.

Primitively Wisconsin was clothed with fine for- ests. The white pine belt which covered both the peninsulas of Michigan crossed Wisconsin into Min- nesota, antd was originally the greatest forest of conifers on that side of the continent. Men who saw it before ax, saw and fire had marred it thought that it was inexhaustible and indestructible. Through it ran growths of white, red, black and burr oak, and hard and soft maple and other timber that was sheltered by the prevalent pine. But where is that forest now? It is gone as completely as if shaved off the earth’s face by a glacial razor. The northern peninsula of l SAVING FORESTS TOC; LATE. T is interesting to read that Wisconsin has just Michigan, once so charmingly sylvan, is now a cold desert. The pine ‘ forest grew in a layer of soil over sand. The fires | 1} have burned this soil away and left the sand, in which nothing grows. In Wisconsin white pine, all the oak, maple and ash are gone. In the sumptuous days of the rich pine forests the lumber-jacks looked with contempt on the linn, lin- den or basswood, which grew there in great abun- dance. It was a soft wood with a mucilaginous cam- bium and bark, and bore a lovely flower, but was “no good” in the eye of the forest assassin. But now the Wisconsin lumberman has turned his atten- tion to the despised basswood, and, sawed into sid- ing, rustic and other merchantable lumber, it has fol- lowed the nobler families of the forest to market, and often even the basswood is gone. Wisconsin has waked up and appointed a Commis- sion of Forestry! We are sleeping in California while our forests are being destroyed. The end will come quicker than it did in Wisconsin, and the results will be more dis- astrous because of the aridity of our climate. But to talk about it seems to be useless. The peo indifferent, the Legislature more so, and the tree, “the mother of the fountain,” is dying in the fire while the ungrateful who drink of the living water she has preserved for them look on and offer no preven- tion of the martyrdom. Wisconsin took millions out of her forests, but to repair the damage wrought by their destruction will cost her two dollars for every one she made. Kentucky authorities have given the death blow to pugilism. This is in perfect harmony with Ken- tuckian notions of a fair fight. A dark night, an un- armed, unsuspecting vietim, a shot in the back, and, in the mischance of detection; perjury in the courts, seem to be the elements of a square, honest fight in run in the open. The trade done bythem is enor- | Kentucky. { hart presided alternately. CLUBMEN GIVE A BANQUET TO RAPHAEL WEILL Raphael Welll leaves the city to-day for Paris.

As M. Loubet's carriage drew up King Edward advanced with outstretched hand | and, taking the President familiarly by the arm, led him through the walting- room to the royal car. For a few min- utes the King and President stood talk- { ing with much animation. King Edward grasped M.

Upon his arrival at Dover M. Loubet | embarked on the French cruiser Guichen and the vessel sailed at once to Calais, escorted by a British torpedo flotilla and followed by farewell salutes from the fleet and castle. Before his departure | from Dover President Loubet telegraphed to King Edward, thanking him for his hearty reception. The text of M. Loubet's telegram to the King is as follows: | At the moment of leaving British soil I am | anxious to address to your Majesty an expres- sion of my liveliest gratitude for the hearty reception your Majesty and her Majesty the Queen, the royal family and the British nation extended to me as the representative of France, the friend of England. King Edward's reply was as follows: LONDON. July 9.—President Loubet, Calals, France: The kind words of your telegram touched me greatly. We are all delighted that your visit pleased you. It is my most ardent | desire that the rapprochement of our two coun- tries should be lasting. EDWARD, R. L -t e PLEASED WITH HIS VISIT. CALAIS, France, July 9.—President Loubet met with a great reception here to-day on his return to French soil from big crowds of people. At the public re- ception which followed the President's ar- rival here the speakers congratulated M. Loubet on the happy results of his visit to England. The President, in replying to the ad- dress, said the visik to London had given | him the opportunity of discovering once | more that greater justice was done to France abroad than she did to herself at home. The impression which he had brought back was profqundly satisfactory and he felt patriotic joy in proclaiming it aloud. M. Loubet concluded with ex- pressing the hope that peaceful accord would gradually supersede conflicts, to the great benefit of France and to hu- manity. —_——— MERRY SPORTSMEN DINE ON TROUT AND DOVES Grass Valley Club Holds Annual Picnic and Provides Delec- table Stew.

CATARRH-Daily Reader, Salinas, Cal. Catarrh, according to medical books, is curable if treated at the inception of the trouble, but when it is allowed to run, and becomes chronie, the chances are against a permanent cure. A newspaper cannot suggest any remedy, as each case depends upon the condition of the individual suf- ferer. SALES BY SAMPLES—A. M., Angels, Cal. The general rule of sale by samples is that there has been an implied If not a direct understanding that the goods to be delivered shall be of the same kind and | quality as the sample. The purchaser, if the goods do not prove equal to the sam- ple, may return them, or may keep them and recover the difference in value. The purchaser is entitled to & reasonable time to examine the goods after delivery and the right to use so much as may be act- ually necessary to ascertain if they con- form to the sample. CHATTEL MORTGAGE—A. M., Angels, Cal. A chattel mortgage is the most com- mon form of collateral security. It is an instrument in the nature of a pledge and conditional sale, to become absolute and vest the title to the thing mortgaged, without redemption, upon a breach of any of its conditions. The chattels niust have an existence at the time the mortgage is executed and must be correctly and truly described. Subsequently acquired prop- erty will not be affected by it, and neither | of the parties will have any power to sub- stitute other property for that which was .originally covered by the mortgage.

On an open plain there are 650 large blocks of stome. One hundred are |set on end around a large area, |inclosed by a dep mound. The area within is twenty-eight acres in extent. It is supposed from appear- ance of the stones that within this large circle there were two smaller circular temples. These ruins have existed in thelr present condition from the earliest records of English history. There are also Druidic ruins at Carnac, in Brit- tany, Mount St. Michel, France, and Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, England. PEG WOFFINGTON — Valambrosa, Mendocino, Cal. Margaret, or Peg, Wot- fington was a celebrated Irish actress, born in Dublin October 15, 1720; died at Teddington March 28, 1760. She was the daughter of a bricklayer. She appeared as Polly Peacham, with a company of children, when but 12 years of age and made her appearance as a mature actress in Dublin in 1737, as Ophelia. Until 1740 she played a wide range of characters. In the last named year she appeared as Sylvia at Covent Garden in the “Recruit- ing Officer.” Her success was great and the singing and the finish of the male characters she assumed made the for- tunes of the theaters she played in. It was stated at one time that she had mar- ried Garrick, but there was no foundation for this. She was stricken with paraly- sis while playing Rosalind, May 3, 1757, and never appeared again on the stage. ———t—et—e Freight Car Causes Boy’s Death.
