China appears to be reaching the first stage of civilization or the last stage of barbarism. Her slow- going but astute authorities are now jailing Celes- | editors who e dared to publish suggestions of reform in the administration of public affairs. Or perhaps Chinese officials have seen one of the Amer- ican yellow sheets and have determined to hazard any menace except that tia!

J capital, rode through the market, dispersing the peo- EAKE, Manager. | ple by shots from his revolver, and finally rode into i(‘igp ports who have given notice of the shipment ‘the leading store, kept by a Frenchman, jumped his | of the forbidden goods. The law is a good one, and horse over the counters, destroyed a great deal of | should have public support, for it is designed to | property, and finally fell from the saddle and lay on | the floor in a drunken sleep for hours, while the | “state carriage” waited for him outside. ’ Castro, the Monkey of the Andes, revolutionary usurper of the Presidency of Venezuela, is open and gpublic in his debauchery and indecency. He claims an annual tribute of maidens who strike his fancy, and is monkey and Minotaur in one. Simon Sam, President of Hayti, was another of these vulgar voluptuaries with whom the nations of the world had | to maintain diplomatic relations. One marked fea- ture in these ceses of public indecency by the heads of Latin-American states is the silence of the people and the press. Lese majeste is nowhere more tyranni- cally enforced than in those miscalled republics, which are realy the meanest and most pestiferous autoc- | racies that ever existed, with power founded on revo- lution, official fortunes founded on stealing, and | diplomacy founded on lying. | Their Presidents, protected by our Monroe doc- | trine, continually endanger the world’s peace. If | that doctrine were not a principle of the United States every one of the Latin-American nations would | by this time be annihilated by war brought upon them by the thieves who rule them. The United States would have the most of them, for we have suf- fered most from their international crimes. True, the Monroe doctrine does not restrain us from con- | 2 | quest, but we have suffered robbery and insult, been | spat upon-and had it rubbed in by the spiteful thieves | who rule those countries, and have not resented it lest it be said that we hold to the Monroe doctrine | just to preserve the plum for ourselves. The time is | not distant when, without present conquest, we will | have to soundly whip several of those states to put | an end to organized theft and tyranny in this hemi- | sphere. | The chaotic nature of their ideas about government ; and order was recently illustrated in Panama. Cobos, | the military commander of the state of Panama, got drunk and put under military arrest all the civil officers of the state he could catch while staggering, | and finally brgke into the Governor’'s house at mid- | night to arrest him. The Governor escaped by | good running and hid in an American’s house. Cobos | jkcpr drunk all next day and declared the office of | Governor vacant and offered it to the American Con- | sul! Finally his rampage ended by cutting off his liquor; the Governor returned to his office, and.all the press and people dared say about it was that “the incident is closed.” Now this rampage was just like it would be for the general commanding the Federal military department of the Pacific to take a company of soldiers to Sac- ramento, put Secretary of State Curry in irons, seize the treasury and chase Governor Pardee into hiding in the house of British Consul Bennett! The consti- tuticns of Colombia and the United States are simi- lar in their demarcation between civil and military avthority.. The outrage here would be no greater than it was there. Yet who believes that it would oc- cur here and be spoken of as “an incident”? Foreigners in most of those states have been and at any momgnt are liable to be the victims of just such drunken rampaging as that of Regalado, Castro, mon Sam and Cobos. . Indeed Consuls have been attacked, tied up and whipped on the bare back by the savage and drunken brutes who parade as presidents and comandantes in those states, and when brought to account for such crimes the same fellows have beaten their breasts and talked about their “honor.”” It is time for the people of this coun- try to know what sort of formation we have to deal with in most of Latin-America. foreign There was something of retributive justice the { other day when a gang of thieves robbed a gang of gamblers in a Tucson den. There is reason for hon- {est folk to indulge a spell of congratulation when | malefactors prey on one another. It gives the rest of us time in which to rest comfortably. B ‘ FOOD INSFECTION. S ECRETARY WILSON of the Department of Agriculture has applied to the Secretary of the Treasury for authority to hold up the cargoes of twenty ships now on their way to New York for the purpose of inspecting such portions of them as come within the scope of the pure food law. It is therefore evident that the act prohibiting the importation of impure or falsely labeled foodstuffs, medicines ‘wines from foreign countries is to be rigorously en- | forced. We may now expect an outcry from the American | importers as well as from the foreign producers and shippers of such articles. The enforcement of the act is going to interfere with what has been an ex- tensive trade, and of course somebody is going to be hurt. no legitimate industry or interest will suffer, and | such prbtests as arise will be no more than another proof that “no rogue e'er felt the halter draw with | good opinion of the law.” | There has been a strenuous effort to prejudice the | public mind against the act ever since it was made | known. We have been told that it would injure this or that foreign country, and that the injured would | retaliate. Furthermore, it has been declared that the adulterated or falsely marked goods are not harm- ful and that it will be an injustice to exclude such products from foreign countries when we permit the sale of similar products of domestic manufacture. Such statements should not be permitted to dis- credit the act in the public mind. There will be no harm ne to any fair commercial interest. Dr. | Wiley of the Chemical Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, who will have charge of the inspection of the suspected goods, has recently refuted some of the sensational statements concerning the act. In the course of his interview on the subject he said: “It is the policy of the department not to obstruct or | irritate trade. We shall bar no kind of goods on | mere suspicion, and even in the case of actual adul- terations, in the first instance, the goods will be al- lowed to enter. In fact, in Secretary Wilson’s let- ter, sent yesterday in regard to expected consign- ments, it was distinctly stated that the department did | not ask that the cargoes be denied admission, but that they should be allowed entry, the samples taken and the goods pass on out of the custom-house. IIn a second offering of any articles that may be | found to be adulterated we shall refuse entry and | compel the consignee to destroy the goods or ship | them out of the country.” l There can be no valid objection to the enforcement of the law in that way. for if after the first condemna. UST before Regalado, the revolutionary usurper | the loss that would fall upon him. Furthermore, it of the Presidency of Salvador, left the office |js to be noted that the Department of Agriculture which he reached by murder and administered as | is not acting upon blind suspicions, nor has it asked a means of robbery he got drunk in the streets of the | for a drag net investigation. It is proceeding upon and | It may be taken for granted, however, that | lzion any importer should again bring the prohibited | articles to the United States he would deserve all | information derived from American Consuls in for- | serve the interests not only of consumers, but of the producers of honest foodstuffs as well. Federal Government have opened to themselves in their decision to cut down useless expenses of gov- ernmental operations in the Philippines. If the plan to prune expenditures be carried out honestly and | thoroughly the cost of owning our insular posses- sions will be so small that we may learn even to for- get that we have them at all on the revised map of the United States. WALL STREET'S ''ROUBLES. ORE trouble in Wall street. Despite the M prosperity of the country, despite the rush | | of business on every railroad and in the of- fices and shops of well-nigh every corporation whose stock is listed on the exchange, Wall street con- 1 tinues to bubble and squeak like a teapot with a tem- | pest inside. Men of high authority say there is no | | good cause for the shrinking of stock values, buf |none the less they continue to shrink, and within | eleven days six big Wall-street firms have gone | to smash and others are shaky. Outsiders find it difficult to understand the flurry, | and even those on the inside are apparently at a loss | to comprehend the forces that have caused it. Thus, after each succeeding slump and failure, there have | come assurances from men intimately acquainted with | Wall street that the worst was over and that things would immediately brighten. Even Russell Sage | gave out an interview after the first shock informing | the public that the lowest level had been reached and that the reaction would come at once. As he closed his interview with the announcement, “Now is the time to buy,” there may be a suspicion that he was talking mainly for the purpose of holding up prices ;until he could sell out; but there are other authori- ties to whom no such suspicion attaches who were | equally sanguine. 1 Immediately after the failure in which Keene was | |involved the New York Tribune made extensive in- | | quiries among bankers for an expression of financial | sentiment, and found everywhere buoyant words, if | not a buoyant feeling. One of the clearest statements on the subject was made by a representative of J. | W. Seligman & Co., who said: “The recent severe i]iquidation has imparted a feeling of safety and se- curity not only among the careful banking interests, | but with the prudent and sensible public. Conditions which brought about the liquidation did not result from any fear of tight money, but simply from over- speculation. The feeling of hopelessness that pre- | vailed until a few days ago has been dispelled, and | investment orders for high-class securities have come | from strong parties. Fully $10,000,000 to $20,000.000 | of European capital has been sent here for invest- | ment within the last week. The ruling rates for long | time money indicate, in my judgment, that a money | stringency in the fall is most improbable. It is hardly | likely that we will increase our indebtedness to Eu- rope this vear. I can say definitely, by way of assur- | | ance, that in case there should be any squeeze dur- | | ing the next two months the Treasury Department ! will offer prompt relief to legitimate financial in- | | What a wonderfully rich field the officers of the | vesterday. { happy 1903. | i | | MANY FRIENDS PRESENT AT ELABORATE WEDDING the younger social set, became the bride of Max C. Greenberg in the conserva- tory of the Palace Hotel at the noon hour The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Voorsanger in the pres- ence of about eighty-five friends of the couple. The bride was attired in an exquisite gown of white crepe de chine, trimmed popular in wi | terests.” | In that statement we have assurances that ought to calm the street if it be true that nothing serious is the matter. With money coming in from Europe at the rate of something like $20,000,000 a week, and | with a fair guarantee that the treasury will again save the situation if need be, the country can watch the flurry without excitement, and it seems the street it- self ought to brace up. However, it is probable that the time has come for squeezing the water out of a good many stocks, and those who have speculated too ! far must pay the price of their folly. It has been officially announced that since the oper- ation of civil service principles in this city the average | cost of each local election has been reduced from | $200,000 to $113,000. This is one of the anomalous | incidents of political life. which occasionally startle the public and utterly, baffle explanation. BRYAN ON THE TOBOGGAN. THE teariul appeal of Harpers’ Weekly that Mr. | Bryan be treated with tenderness and respect | by the Democratic press is responded to with | derision. The Democratic press, especially that of the | South, seems to count as lost that day whose low, | descending sun marks a snoot at Bryan left un- | snooted. In that section of which he was the primate in politics he is now basted for his impudence, lam- basted for his weak and pretentious leadership, ad- [ vised to go way back and sit down, to clap a stopper on his jawing tackle, mind his own business, go into | the political rag bag, and in other phrases expressive of extreme contempt to let politics alone and go at something for which he is qualified. The outbreak of resentment is extreme. The Gold | | Democrats in the last two campaigns expressed ;th:msclves as to Mr. Bryan in terms that could not | be called fond or languishing, but which now loom up as flattery in contrast to what is being said of | him by his supporters in those two battles. Un- | fortunately for Mr. Bryan these pins stick him where his quick is quickest, for his vanity and self-esteem amount to an intellectual eczema. But, turning to the party in whose behalf Bryan is now being harried, we find that the same organs | were doing the same to Mr. Cleveland in 1806 and {four years later. It proves its incapacity for admin- | istration of national affairs by regularly choosing and as regularly shooting down its leaders. The hero of to-day is the poltroon of to-morrow; the idol of to- morrow is reproached for having clay feet the next day. The country never knows on what to depend in the aspect and ease of that party. It defies prophecy as to what it will do. Perhaps it has lost its mind | and these erratic courses are due to that misfortune. One thing is sure—the people, who have interests at stake in a consistent policy and the stability of gov- ernment, don't want the Government to fall into the keeping of a party that either does not know its own mind or has no mind to know. —— The wise men of Berkeley have turned to be den- tists, and the subjects of their craft are the majestic oaks which adorn the college town.
