But we have found out in the Modoc cases and all his works and friends and record, and upon | all his friends’ friends and them and their record. The occasion seems to have been made exclu- sively for Mr. Bryan, for it was on July 18, not a | saint’s day in the Democratic calendar and a date | not brought into historical prominence, except by one incident. It is believed to be the day on wl.mich Eric Raspe died. The name Raspe suggests nothing, until the reader is informed that he was the author | of “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.” Prob- | { ably nome of the officers of the Chicago Democracy were aware of this coincidence, but sometimes events | order themselves regardless of the actions of man, and there after all, something appropfiate in bringing Munchausen and Bryan together. | In his speech he delighted thousands of listeners | by Mr. Cleveland with aquafortis and | shaving him with a hands In the hot Chicago | air he Put the spur to metaphor until it sweat like |a carthorse hauling a load of coal, and worked in- | vective until that oratorical resource looked sway- backed under the burden.

He per- | haps took it as another evidence of the ex-Presi- lathering dent’s much as it seemed to be an indorsement of Presi- dent Roosevelt's ideas on race suicide. So he smote his former leader and bruised him hip and thigh fternoon. He declared that Mr. Cleveland’s last administra- tion had not been disinfected by time, but is still a stench in the nostrils of the people, and that it was more subservient to Wall street than any Republi- can administration that had preceded it. Its odium was declared the cause of the speaker’s defeat for the Presidency in 1896. By set forms of speech he cast Cleveland and all who follow him into outer dark- [ness.

CASTRO’S VICTORY. Y the capture of Ciudad Bolivar Castro B has suppressed the last outbreak of rebellion in Venezuela. He is now supreme, with no | one to dispute his power. Matos, who organized the | revolution, is a fugitive, and there is nothing in sight to disturb the Monkey of the Andes in his career as supreme dictator. His misgovernment, which is acute, cannot be ascribed as the cause of the late revolution, though it gained recruits for his enemy. Nor was there any patriotism in his defense, since it was put forth onl:- to protect himself and not to save his country. Taking power by revolution himself, he sought it not to better administration of the gov- ernment, but to enrich himself. Those who lately fought against him had the same motive, and whether they won or lost, the country had no hope of bet- terment. This is the cheerless feature in the history of most of the Latin-American states. When a revolution starts in any of them our people are alert and sym- tpzthetig The revolutions among Anglo-Saxons | have nearly always been for the advancement of ‘principles, to make the people more secure in their rights of person and property and to give them a | targer share in the government. In this way liberty was advanced to the far frontier that was reached | when our Revolution of 1776 ended in the establish- ment of a self-governing republic. But the Latin- | American revolutions are simply robber raids, land | piracy on a considerable scale, and are not intended | to make government any better, but usually make it | worse. Castro’s rule in Venezuela'is the most cor- | rupt that country has had. He is a villain of the { worst kind, but he is typical of the rulers of most of those states. A recent writer in the North American Review has defended him by admitting all of his scarlet crimes, but showing that he is no worse than kings were in Europe three centuries ago. That is no de- {fense. In the sixteenth and even the seventeenth | century government was monarchical; the doctrine | of divine right of kings was everywhere held and \'belicved. and the appalling cloud of the dark ages had not yet pdssed away. Since then the doctrine ! of divine right is discredited and government every- | i | | | i subservience to Republican teachings, inas- | | impunity and have immunity from punishment until | their dishonest gains incite the cupidity of other pow- | erful thieves, who attempt to oust them by revolu- Most Probably Will Be the Republican Candi- date and Hassett the Democratic Nominee | tion. The case of those states seems hopeless. We in- terfered in Cuba to end misgovernment. As Latin- | America goes on from bad to worse, what is to re- form it except our hand, unselfishly laid upon the dynasties of scoundrels who flourish there?

This discovery should be gratifying {to the nations that are not in the robber class, as it proves at 18ast that the Celestial Kingdom is not al- together helpless. Treachery ought to be a legitimate weapon against brute force. TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS. | O mercial Congress has been issued. The con- gress is to assemble at Seattle August 18 and to continue for four days. The discussions will cover 1thc whole range of Western interests, but attention. | will be directed mainly to the commercial relations | of the Pacific Coast with the Orient, and conse- | auently California will be largely concerned in the proceedings. | It is the desire of the executive committee to make the congress thoroughly representative of the West, and accordingly the call for delegates is liberal. Con- cerning representation the official circular says: | “The Governor of each State or Territory may ap- | point ten delegates. The Mayor of each city one | delegate and one additional delegate for each 5000 | inhabitants; provided, however, that no city shall | have more than ten delegates. Each county may ap- | point one delegate through its executive officer. Every business organization one delegate and one ad- | ditional delegate for every fiity members; provided, | however, that no such organization shall have more | than ten delegates. Governors of States and Terri- | tories, members of the United States Congress and | ex-presidents of this congress are ex-officio delegates, | with all privileges of delegates except those of vot- ing. Lists of delegates should be addressed to ‘.—\r:hnr F. Francis, secretary, Cripple Creek, Colo- | rado.” During the last decade these congresses have oc- cupied an important place in current history. They have had a marked influence in promoting Western interests and in advancing legislation designed to benefit the great region west of the Mississippi. With | FFICIAL call for the meeting of the four- teenth session of the Trans-Mississippi Con- | ;. 3 | the prestige acquired by past labors and successes | 1 BRI | the future of the congress will doubtless be even more | notable than the past; the spirit of Western co- | operation will of course be increased by the associa- | | tion of leading men in these assemblies, and the in- | fluence of the congress will correspondingly augment. | It is to be hoped that California will be strongly represented at the Seattle meeting. Our interests in ;thc trade of the Orient are larger than those of any other State, and, moreover, we are directly con- jccmcd in every movement that tends to upbuild the | Great West. The Trans-Mississippi Congress has es- | tablished itself as a distinguished factor in Western | development and should have the cordial support of | California as well as of other States west of the | Mississippi. c A e A ACRAMENTO, July 22.—Hundreds of people are spending the sum- mer at the seaside and mountain resorts, but there are plenty left to make local politics sizzle. A month ago it would have been {mpossible to predict who would be the next Mayor of Sacramento. That was when Mayor George H. Clark was still undecided as to whether he would enter the race for a third term or would accompany his busi- ness partner, A. P. Booth, to San Fran- cisco. But things have greatly changed since then. Clark will soon become a resident of San Francisco and his unique personal- ity will cease to figure in Sacramento pol- itics. If Clark had stayed here and sought a third term as Mayor he would have run as an independent candidate, as he did two years ago. And he would have given his opponent a run for his money, there is no doubt of that, even in the minds of his political enemies. For Clark’s personality is engaging and he has long been credited with the ability to smile away the most threatening op- position. But now Clark is out of the running, and the field seems clear for the prospec- tive Republican and Democratic- candi- dates. The former, it is believed, will certainly be Albert Elkus, present presi- dent of the Board of Trustees. To Wil- | liam J. Hassell, the last Democratic can- didate for Railroad Commissioner and an esteemed citizen, will, from present indi- cations, fall the honor of leadlng the Democratic forces. As the town is largely Republican the chances favor the elec- tion of the nominee of that party, and so Elkus is brought prominently to the front. Clark is in the East now and EIl- kus is the acting Mayor. He has taken hold of the reins with a firm grip and his course will be watched with interest. He has made a splendid record as Trustee, having been to the forefront in every not- able reform and having performed his dutles with a seemingly total disregard for the enemles he might make among those who like to wield hammers around election time. A rather unfortunate condition of af- fairs exists in the Board of Trustees, without whose ald, under the existing charter, the Mayor is powerless to act. Every important move of the Mayor must receive the indorsement of a majority of the Trustees before it can become ef- fective. 'There should be, under the charter, nine Trustees, one from each 3 TELLS OF HIS LABORS AT NATIONAL CAPITAL William Bunker Delivers Important Address at Quarterly Meeting of Chamber of Commerce. At the regular quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held Tuesday, Willlam M. Bunker, the organization's official representative at Washington, D. C., delivered a lengthy address relative to his work at the last sesslon of Congress and outlining the campaign for the ap- proaching fall and winter. He spoke also in the highest terms of Secretary Cortelyou of the new Depart- ment of Commerce and stated that the official mentioned fully appreclated the great bearing which the FPacific Coast will have on the future prosperity of the couftry. z The death of Major Hooper, late pro- prietor of the Occidental Hotel and for many years a leading member of the chamber, was officially announced and appropriate resolutions were adopted. It was unanimously decided to cooper- ate as far as possible with the recently organized American Chamber of Com- merce of Berlin. Several communications from commer- cial bodies in various parts of the world were read and referred to the executive committee for further action. ——————— California Souvenirs—Great variety at Sanborn & Vail's, 741 Market street. * ————— e Cutlasses are to be allowed no longer in the French navy.

ROM Washington comes the report that the F Government has established in the center of the cane-growing district of Georgia a plant for the | purpose of teaching the Georgians how to make cane | syrup. It would seem that in this venture the Agri- cultura! Department is undertaking to teach its grandmother to suck eggs. Georgians of the cane district were making syrup. from cane juice not only before the Department of Agriculture was born, but before there was any United States Government to beget such a department. It happens, however, that in the development of the new-fashioned scientific way of making sugar the Georgians lost the art of making a really good molasses, and now the Gov- ernment has to go down to the cane lands and teach the present generation the lost art of their fathers. Genuine cane syrup when served with hot cakes or waffles makes a dish fit for gods. There is a story that a distinguished French statesman, diploma- tist and epicure was once entertained at the White | House and given a breakfast composed principally of waffles made by Dolly Madison herself, then the pre- siding lady at Washington, and he was so delighted with the delicacy that he then and there swore by the blue ribbon of the great chefs that France and Amer- ica should be friends forever. Old-fashioned cane syrup vanished before the in- vention of a process of extracting virtually all the sugar from the cane juice, leaving none for the syrup, and before the deadly competition of the sophisti- cated syrup made of glucose and sulphuric acid. Men who can remember the good old syrup of bygone times have regretted the loss of it more than any other loss brought about by the advancement of science and the decadence of humanity. Ill fares the | land, to hastening ills a prey, where frauds accumu- late and pure foods pass away. The Government is doing a great service in un- dertaking to revive the pure cane syrup industry. When that has been accomplished there will remain one thing more for the Department of Agriculture to do, and that is to revive the ancient industry of making wholesome hot cakes. The men and the women of future generations will rise up and call us blessed if we preserve from destruction those high- bred delicacies of the great days of the republic when Presidents wore knee breeches and when the mis- tress of the White House, renowned for beauty, wit, elegance and taste, could with her own hands bake waffles for gallant gentlemen from the courts of | Europe. e It has been settled that the California building at the St. Louis Expgsition shall be strictly of the mission style of architecture. Perhaps in no bet- ter way can we emphasize our individuality than by reproducing one of the historic buildings which are {now famots the world over. PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF SACRAMENTO, WHO WILL VERY PROBABLY BE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE MAYORALTY OF THE STATE CAPITAL. ward. This number was chosen at the election, but for several months the Sec- ond Ward has not been represented, ow- ing to the continued illness of Trustee R. E. Kent. His term will expire on January 1 next and it is not thought that he will reclaim his seat meanwhile. This leaves a populous ward of the eity unrepresented at a time when many im- portant measures concern it. A plan, was recently put into effect isolating the fall- er women resident on a certain street in the ward and this has brought to the surface several questions In which the people of the ward are concerned. Again, a movement is on foot te declare open several miles of streets in the Second ‘Ward, which have long been closed to the public, and a representative of the ward in the Board of Trustees would wield great influence in behalf of the people in the matter, These questions were gone over very fully at a recent meeting of the West End Improvement Club and several prop- erty owners spoke of the need of having the ward represented. It is true a new member would in any event take his seat in six months, but the residents would prefer to have a man appointed to the place now who would indicate between now and election time whether he should be retained by their votes. Among the candidates for election at the polls for the trusteeship from the ward are Edward Leitch and George Radovich. The Kent family are among the oldest and best respected residents of the ward and should Mayor Clark ap- point one of the brothers of R. E. Kent to the place the appointee would, it is thought by many, stand a good chance for retention in the office by the voters of the ward. There has been a general awakening along progressive lines in Sacramento and the people are demanding that the of- ficlal positions shall be fllled by men of force and ability, who can ald the city in the forward movepent. of Willam H.

Lacey, 2621 Octavia street, when their daughter, Miss Gertrude Lacey, and Alfred Joseph Turner plighted their nuptial vows. Rev. John A. B. Wil- |son of Trinity Methodist Church per- formed the ceremony, the young couple | standing in a dainty bower of blossoms and foliage. Thirty guests were invited to participate in the festivities. The bride wore a delicate gown of pale blue panne crepe, with garniture of point lace. She wore no bridal veil, but instead a white algrette In her hair. Miss Pris- cflla Lacey, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. She was becomingly gowned in cream French crepe and carried pink roses. Charles Turner, brother of the groom, was best man. The rooms were prettily decorated with | palms, pink and white roses and smilax. The bride's table was in pink, having been made artistic with pink roses, tulle and candelabra with pink shades. After the supper had been served Mr. and Mrs. Turner took their departure. Their wed- ding trip will comprise a few weeks in | Southern California, after which they will retyyn to this city and reside at 1511 Grove street. The bride is a native daughter and has a wide circle of friends. The groom was formerly an Eastern man, but has resided in this city for some years with his parents. He is at present employed by the Government in the Department of Irrigation. Many handsome presents wers received by the young couple. CLRL B Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fernald arrived at the Palace Hotel yesterday on thelr wedding trip. Mrs. Fernald was until re- cently Miss Bessie Swift, being the | daughter of L. F. Swift of Chicago.

The Board of Works granted yesterday a permit to J. B. Lankershim to ropair the Theater Republic building on Fifth street.
