GAKLAND OFFICE. | 1118 Broadws - Tele me Main 1083 | THE EFFECT OF PUBLIC OPINION. HE United States once sanctioned slavery as Ta “domestic institution” in the States. From the time that John Quincy Adams defended the right of the people to petition Congress for its abolition slavery became the controlling factor in American politics. The issue was intensified by the Wilmot proviso and the compromise of 1850. But from the beginning of the abolition and free soil movement this country was powerfully affected by the public opinion of Great Britain. Wilberforce had led humane England against the slave trade, which he denounced as “the sum of all villainies,” and the movement, which began as a protest against the im- portation of negro slaves into the jurisdiction: of Great Britain, had been supplemented by the genius of uniyersal emancipation, until it could e the boast of Englishmen that the shackles fell from awslave when his foot touched British soil. The Duchess of Sutherland and other English abo- litionists were en rapport constantly with the abo- litionists of the United States. Thompson was an Englishman, who came here to join the crusade and was an inspirer of Wendell Phillips, | Gerrit Smith, the Lovejoys and other American champions of freedom. In modern history, and per- haps in all history, it was the most striking example public opinion and finally governmental action in | another.

EVERAL lady residents of Oakland and San doing the grand tour in Europe are writing home interesting letters on the sub- These They places like Lucerne for its hotels and rancisco now D ject of scenic and landscape features in cities. amunications have an antithetical quality. s ives on the lake front, and one writer who has been Asia recalls the avenues and drives along the in water front of cities in that part of the world. With these pleasant memories of boulevards and avenues along the water the writers want the same at home and at once. It is demanded that hotels line the water nt of Oakland and that the same be turned intc a flower-bordered promenade, and that the San Francisco water front, “now entirely abandoned to commercialism,” be fixed up the same way. While these suggestions are so impracticable as to be g, the sentiment behind them is right and needs only direction to make it useful to any city n which it is found. The cities in Europe and Asia ich giv e up their water fronts to scenic and land- scape treatment and use as places of amusement and recreation are not commercial cities. w American sea- and ii they were turned into tcurist resorts and their water ports exi all for at commer: reasons, frorts were given up entirely to esthetic uses, where would we get our provisions into market and our coal to cook them, and where, in fact, would we find business to«arn the money that enables éur peo- ple to go abroad and spend it in places made beau- tiful for the purpose oi drawing travel for the profit that the is in it? The fact is that the charming towns in Switzer- with gem-like lakes in front and the Alps be- hind them, are concentrated centers of the spirit of commercialism. Their people do not trade nor man- acture anything. Their business is the fleecing of the admiring tourist. When they ornament their water front the purpose is as purely commercial as when we build docks and slips, coal bunkers and the various devices required in the passing of commerce intc and through our great cities. We do not say that this is discreditable to them, but only to empha- size the fact that commercialisth in one form is just as creditable as in the other. Our cities need beauti- that, and if these traveled ladies return with the sentiment which inspires their letters they can be made a force for advancement in that respect Mayor Olney of Oakland has declared his intention of calling the women together in a city beautifying convention some time in September. The idea is original and attractive. Such a convention need not insist on tearing down the coal bunkers and remov- ing the shipyards which are on the estuary of San Antonio. If they are in the mood to use the besom they will find a garbage crematory located in the midst of the best residence part of their city, against the protest of every property-owner in sight of its ugly chimney. The Mayor's convention will find a scenic water front in Lake Merritt, the finest water park in the world, but with ignoble surroundings, though there is no commerce on its shores. San Francisco would highly appreciate the devel- opment of the scenic attractions of Oakland. A surpassingly fine view of the bay and mountains is bad from the level land running from Sixteenth street north. No city has a finer site for a park. Com- mercialism is not occupying it, but the coming con- vention of Oazkland ladies should observe that, though on the windward side of their city, it is used for a vast garbage dump, and all the overland and local travel that passes it looks out upon piles of filth that fester in the sun, and shine and stink and stink and shine, like John Randolph’s rotten mac- kerel by moonlight. Mayor Olney has right ideas about the city he is called to govern. If he succeed by help of the ladies in developing its latent beauty, cleaning it up, put- ting crematory and garbage where they belong, and ending that deous, cancerous, pestiferous, fly- breeding veneering of filth, upon which hundreds of thousands of people Jook with rising gorge as they pass West Oakland, he will not only deserve many re-elections, but a monument in the park that ought to be where filth now is. fying. No one denies self alone, in disregard of the good or bad opinion of the world. . The widespread expression of public opinion in this country against Russian treatment of the Jews fur- nishes another impressive instance of the same kind. | At the time of our Declaration of Independence every kingdom, principality and power’ of any im- portance sanctioned negro slavery. The negro was | believed to be appointed by nature to that sort of subjection, and the fact that it was the only race | that patiently endured chattelhood was declared to | be evidence that it was divinely ordained to that con- | dition. At the same time the Jew was everywhere | held under some form of disability more or less gall- ing. In his case, too, Scripture was quoted, and he suffered for the tragedy on Calvary. The world has moved rapidly in a hundred and twenty-seven years. Now every nation rejects negro slavery, makes the slave trade piracy and forbids that man shall be a chattel. The Jew is free of disability | everywhere except in Russia and the small buffer states of Southeastern Europe. His emancipation ‘fmm all disability has become the humane issue of | this century. It has been accentuated by the horrors of Kishenev, as the opposition to the slave trade was by the horrors of the middle passage. Public opinion | in many nations has found voice, but nowhere mofe emphatically than in the United States. The inten- tion of the President under certain conditions to send a protesting petition of the people to the Russian Government was necessary to make the Czar aware of the force of public opinion here. The petition is not yet in the hands of the Presi- | dent, and no diplomatic exchange concerning it has | occurred. But the Czar has heard the voice America and has heeded it, even as this country heard and heeded the voice of the British abolitionists | Such justice as is found in Russia has been put in | motion. The public authorities who winked at mur- | der in Kishenev have been put under arrest and sev- | eral hundred of the murdering members of the blood- :' thirsty mob are in prison. Russia will not hesitate to in the opinion of the United States. Going thus far, she will see farther than she goes | The massacre was the direct and legitimate out- | growth of the disability of the Jews under Russian |law. Whenever a class in any country is put under legal disability, denied the power to order its place of abode or to defend itseli and its property by legal means on equal footing with others, it is exposed to | such outrages as that in Bessarabia, which startled | the world. In punishing the murderers Russia is the Government is the | punishing acts of which cause There is no escaping the logic of this statement. If she punish the effect without removing the cause she further endangers her authority over her ortho- dox subjects, who are moving uneasily and are rest- | less and discontented from the Crimea to the Neva. i Public opinion has found the crease in her armor of | seli-righteous autocracy, and President Roosevelt, representing the people of the United States, has al- ready accomplished the whole effect of presenting a protest that is not yet in his hands. e e The Servian Legislature is making an -effort to set- tle the debts of the murdered monarchs Alexander and Draga on a basis of twenty cents on the dollar. The creditors have set their feet firmly on the propo- sition that if the Servian people held their rulers as of no account their debts must be considered par value or the courts will know why. MORE WAR TALK UIET as is the world, and promising as are the prospects of peaceful industry and trade to all the nations, we are not yet out of dan- ger of battle and war. From two centers come inti- mations of strife that menace the peace of the world. One of these is Port Arthur; the other is Constan- | tinople. In the one the fate of Manchuria is in- volved; in the other the reorganization of the po- litical condition of the Balkan states. The report from Port Arthur is due to the recent con- ference there of a number of Russian officials of high rank in diplomacy, war and civil administration. A dis- patch says that among the members of the conference | were Minister of War Kuropatkin, Admiral Alexieff, the Russian Ministers at Peking and Seoul, the po- litical agents in China and Korea, including Pokoti- loff, recently Russian financial representative at Pe- king; General Dessino, the military agent in China, the civil and military officers at Mukden, Harbin and Kirin, and the administrator of Newchwang. That is certainly a formidable array of dignitaries to assemble in a place so remote from the seat of Russian government. Their proceedings, it is said, were “enveloped in profound secrecy.” The mystery doubtless augmented the feelings of distrust with which the conference was watched, and we are told that the foreign commercial officials at Port Arthur and at Newchwang are convinced that the probabili- ties of war are increasing rapidly. They hold that the conference met for no other purpose than that of preparing for an open rupture with Japan and pos- sibly with Great Britain. The war rumors from Constantinople are of a simi- lar character. It is said a council of war has been held at Yildiz Kiosk, and that the Turks have de- cided to send additional troops to the Bulgarian frontier ready to cross the border at a moment's no- fgice. The action of the Turks is reported to be due of | sacrifice them if it be necessary to set herself right | SAN FRANCISCO B | of the force of public opinion in one nation moving | It was an illustration of the cammunity of : the Commorer that he did not speak at first because | vention “‘was controlled by the reactionary elements | clared in favor of indorsement. JALL, TUESDAY to the continuance of disturbances and the fear that the European concert will not be able to keep the peace. Neither of the reports is sufficiently serious to be fieemcd “alarming,” for in each case the cry of com- ing war has been heard so frequently that the world no longer gives much heed to it. Nevertheless the incessant repetition of such reports is in itself a proof of the unsettled and uncertain condition of affairs in North China and in the Balkans. So long as those conditions remain we shall never be sure of peace for as much as a year ahead, and the recurring rumors serve to remind us that there are still in the world of international politics a number of active volcanoes liable to break forth with violence at almost any unexpected time. B e S ——— Much noise and not a little congratulation are be- ing expressed over the fact that the employes of the Board of Health are making a spasmodic and ener- getic raid upon dishonest milk dealers. The crusade serves at least one public purpose. It shows us what our health officials should be doing all the time and not simply upon occasions for recreation and display. BRYAN'S VIEW OF IT. RYAN has at last given to the public his views of the recent Democratic convention in Towa. He explains in the current number of ; he “had not secured the information necessary for an intelligent discussion of the situation.” He has now obtained the information and declares the con- of the party, and the refusal of the convention to re- affirm the Kansas City platform was due principally to the influence exerted by, the representatives of corporations, but partly to neglect on the part of {riends of the platform.” As an explanation of the way in which the cor- porations captured the convention Mr. Bryan says: “The corporation Democrats are in politics as a matter of business; they assume that their salaries cover their political services and they can attend conventions at little expense, while the ordinary Democrat must pay his way.” As evidence of the validity of that theory Mr. Bryan quotes statements of the Creston American to the effect that in several counties there were chosen as delegates to the con- vention a number of Bryanites and a number of re- organizers, with the Bryanites in a majority; but when the time ¢ame for the convention to assemble the reorganizers attended to a man, while a good many of th¢ Kansas City platform men stayed at home. The American says: “The Wapello county con- vention, for instance, passed resolutions indorsing the Kansas City platform. They did rot, however, instruct their delegates. Of the seventeen delegates selected nine were in favor of reaffirmation, but only a few of the nine attended, and the majority of the votes of the county were cast against reaffirmation, although the county convention had by vote de- Mills County is an- other example. The county convention passed reso- lutions indorsing the Kansas City platform, and yet the vote of that county was cast solidly against it.” Ugon that showing one would suppose Mr. Bryan as a representative of political principle would call | upon all true Democrats to repudiate the action of | the convention and vote against its ticket. That | would be the logical outcome of his presentation of facts proving that the convention was dominated by the representatives of corporations who were untrue to their constituents. However, Mr. Bryan does not take that view nor give that advice. On the con- trary, he urges his followers to repudiate the platform but support the ticket. In defense of that crooked method of doing poli- tics he says the reorganizers, after capturing the convention and setting aside the Kansas City doc- trines, were airaid to nominate a reorganizer for Governor, and adds: “Ii they had nominated one | of their own kind his candidacy on such a platform would have aroused widespread protest, but instead of that they place the party standard in the hands of Hon. J. B. Sullivan, one of the ablest and stanchest of the silver Democrats, whose county and Congres- sional district made a gallant fight for reaffirmation. Judge Caldwell and the other nominees were also faithful to the party in 1896. The Democrits of Iowa have therefore to choose between a good ticket on a cowardly platform partly good and a Republican ticket running on as bad a platform as could well be conceived. What should they do? Vote for Sullivan and his associates on the ticket, but continue to fight for Kansas City platform principles.” As it is unquestionable that the nominee for Gov- ernor has formally accepted the platform on which he was nominated, it is not casy to see how Mr. Bryan can still look upon him as a stanch supporter of the Kansas City programme. He must be a very duplex sort of a politician if he can run with the Bry- anites while standing with the reorganizers. The voters of Iowa will doubtless be keen enough to take note of the fact, and the country will take note that according to Mr. Bryan the corporations have in- vaded the Dergocratic camp and captured the works. It will be werth while recalling that next year. Crime, it is alleged by one of our Judges, is in- creasing with remarkable and alarming strides among the youth of our city. This, however, neither ex- plains nor justifies the cxistence of dives, gambling dens and crime-breeding resorts on the leading thor- oughiares of the city. The police might give us a housecleaning and remove some of the temptations which assault our youth. Bulgaria and Turkey are still making faces at one another and Europe is speculating whether or not there will be war. While it looks as if one is afraid and the other dare not, the rest of us would not take it amiss if they got together, mixed things a little and changed the geography of that part of the semi- civilized world. The careless reading of a telegraphic order the other day resulted in a disastrous train wreck and’ k4 the loss of several lives. The explanation is given probably not as an excuse but as an illustration of current railroad methods which have become so alarmingly frequent as to be accepted almost as mat- ters of course. However efficient our Fire Department may be in fighting flames, it seems to be utterly unequal to the task of destroying the smoke of scandal which arises from its affairs. In any discussion of themselyes the Commissioners must admit, modestly or other- wise, that the public has a horse on them. Kansas has in sight a wheat crop estimated to be worth upward of $65,000,000, but labor is so scarce that she is now calling louder for help in the grain fields than she ever called for it during flood time. JULY 1 1903. PLANS FOR PROPOSED COUNTY JAIL ARE RAPIDLY NEARING COMP ke LANS and specifications for the proposed County Jail to be erected in this city are rapidly nearing completion. The site selected for the new County Jall lies just easterly from Dun- bar alley, and is separated from the Hall of Justice by this small street. Owing to the proximity of the sites ft is proposed that the jail be connected with the Hall of Justice by inclosed bridges. A statement regarding the proposed im- provement follows: The additions to the Hall of Justice are to be upon lands to be acquired, but at present rivately owned, easterly from Dunbar alley ronting on Washington street. It is proposed to intermeet the County Jail and the Hall ot Justice at the level of several floors by means of a covered passage, sufficiently elevated above Dunbar alley to avold interference with the uze of the alley roadway. The County Jail will be a six-story brick structure of an architectural type conforming to that of the Hall of Justice. It will have u frontage on Merchant street of 100 feet, on Dunbar alley 137 feet, 6 inches, and on Wash- et 100 feet. It is to be a six-story, progf structure. The first two stories are to be 0f sandstome, the rest of the building of brick with terra cotta trimmings.

The main entrance into the building will be on Dunbar alley and opens into a i and main hall from which a stair | two elevators will afford access to the upper stories. Oue elevator may be set apart for | the exclusive use of prisoners. There will also be an entrance ‘rom Mer- chant street.
