But, as was to have been expected, excuses are not lacking, and it is surprising that the first one comes from as enlight- ened 2 source as the Atlanta Constitution. That paper says that Mississippi gave Vardaman a plurality in re- taliation upon the President for forcing upon the peo- ple of Indianola a negro postmaster. As we recall the facts in that matter they are these: The postoffice at Indianola had been held for fifteen yvears By an intelligent and well-behaved mulatto woman, who had served under administrations of both parties. The grade and salary of the office were raised, so that it became a prize for white politicians, and the postmistress was ordered to resign and threatened with death by lynching if she did not. An American should instantly appreciate that this Gov- ernment cannot, with self-respect, accept the resig- mation of its officers under such circumstances. Thae President took the only possible course, and was im- mediately accused of “forcing a nigger” upon the people of Indianola! By this statement it will be seen that what the At- lanta Constitution means is that when the adminis- tration will not change a postmaster long in service when the officer is threatened with murder the State of Mississippi will resent his act by depriving a ma- jority of her people of education. The whole country is interested in knowing whether the other States which have taken the ballot from the negro propose also to take away his school- house, R — The Macedonian revolutionists have frankly ad- mitted that it is their purpose to resort to the use of dynamite in their campaign against the Turks, arro- gating even the barbarous privilege to destroy pas- senger trains conveying non-combatants. With this threat before him it is not likely that the Turk will jeopardize his notorious character as the most fiend- ish of foes. He has not yet shaken himself into bat- tle form. Since Colombia has sulked so shamefully on us in reference to the Panama Canal, Nicaragua is again flirting with us for the possession of that which her sister has so contemptuously thrown away.

AUGUST 23, 1903. ! OUR MERCHANT MARINE. CCORDING to “The Blue Book of American Shipping,” issued by the Marine Review of Cleveland, not a single contract has been let for an American vessel to engage in foreign trade during the past two years. The simple statement of the fact should be sufficient to arouse popular inter- est in the subject, for there is surely something wrong when a country like our own, whose foreign commerce is enormous, makes no effort whatever to provide ships for carrying it, but is content to leave |it in the hands of foreign ship-owners. There are other facts equally startling in their reve- lations of our neglect of the ocean merchant marine, A recent circular issued by the New York Board of | Trade and Transportation says: “It is a fact that the | United States of 1810, with seven million inhabitants, owned more registered tonnage for oversea trade | than the United States of 1903, with a population of | eighty million. The tonnage in 1810 was 981,000; it is pow 873,000, and, worse still, it showed an actual decrease of six thousand tons from the year before. In 1810 American ships and American sailors carried 91.5 per cent of their country’s ocean trade, and, moreover, a great share of that of Europe. In 1861, | though we had already lost our Atlantic steam lines {and our ship-building was falling off, we still carried | 65.2 per cent of our own trade and some of the trade of other nations. American ships last year conveyed | only 88 percent of our imports and exports. Our | registered tonnage in 1861 stood at 2,496000. It l stands now at 873,000. Two-thirds of our once great | and powerful deep sea fleet has vanished—and not one i new keel for a deep sea ship is being laid on either our Atlantic or Pacific coastline.” | While we are doing nothing, foreign ship-builders |and ship-owners are busy. A continuously increas- ing fleet of foreign vessels carries our trade for us, levying a tribute from every pound of freight, whether | of export or import. Careful calculations made by various experts are to the effect that the tribute | amounts to fully $100,000,000 annually, and some | authorities make the estimates much higher. Were the sums thus expended in paying freight and pas- | senger rates to foreigners kept at home and employed |in promoting American shipyards and American ships, there would be an enlarged demand for all kinds of raw material used in ship-building and an | increased amount of work and wages available for | American labor. We would thus not only rid our- | selves of the position of a tributary nation, but would | materially increase our domestic industries as well as expanding our foreign trade. | A summary of the shipping statistics of the leading nations of the world, compiled from official reports, says: “The British empire has 14,800,000 tons of | merchant shipping; Germany, 2,960,000 tons; France, 1 1,480,000 to! Norway, 1,660,000 tons; Italy, 1,180,- 000 tons. By far the larger part of all these fleets is engaged in ocean carrying. But the United States of America, which produces far more merchandise and now sends more abroad than any other nation, has |a fleet registered for deep sea commerce of only 873,- | 000 tons.” Not content with their present advantage on the seas, foreign Governments are actively aiding their | great steamship companies in extending their lines and increasing the number and the tonnage of their | vessels. Germany’s policy in that respect is well known, but of late Great Britain has been the most | conspicuous among the nations for liberality of gov- ernmental aid in the prometion of a national mer- | chant marine. The subsidies just given to the Cunard line show what Great Britain thinks of the value | of a merchant marine of her own, and the approval ‘;wlth which the grant has been received by the pub- | lic proves that the British people are as alert as the ! Government itself to keep British commerce in Brit- {ish ships instead of leaving it to pass into the hands of foreigners. American ship-owners could not successfully com- pete against foreign lines so largely subsidized by | their Government even if other conditions were equal, | but they are not equal. Our ship-owners have to face not only the odds of governmental subsidies, | but the further odds of low wages in foreign ship- building yards and on foreign ships. The difference in { wages itself amounts to a considerable handicap on }lhe American and goes far to account for the failure | of American enterprise to hold its own in the ocean- tczrrying trade of the world. | The issue is one of moment to every industry of our people, for farmers, iron miners, coal miners, lum- ib:rmen‘ cattlemen, manufacturers and merchants | are all directly concerned in the foreign trade of the | country, while workingmen of every class would be | benefited by the employment at home of the money | now expended in paying freights to foreign shipping. | It is time for public sentiment to declare itself on the ; subject, for Congress is soon to assemble, and a reso- lute expression of a popular demand for the promo- tion of the American merchant marine would have the effect of bringing about effective legislation be- N fore the coming winter is over. The Czar of Russia has been accused of giving se- cret aid to the Macedonians in the hideous revolt which is now raging in the Balkans. If the Czar of Russia were guilty of every offense of which he is { charged he could claim absolute perfection in devil- |try. As it is his name supplies suggestion to the romancing pencils of the press correspondents. T not good reading for Californians, nor is it good reading for the State when put before Eastern readers. It is not necessary to review the details, the lack of discipline, of nerve, of judgment in emergency. They reveal a condition in that prison that calls for action of the most drastic nature. It is useless to talk about walls around a prison where guards unlock gates at the command of des- perate convicts, Nor is it useful now to instruct guards to fire on escapes, no matter whom they may hit, after the neglect of that most primary necessity has cost the dives of so many people in the hills and chaparral of El Dorado County. What is needed in every prison is an officiary that knows it is enlisted to kill and be killed in any form of emergency. -The desperate class among convicts are perfect judges of human nature. They note the lack of nerve by a thousand signs not seen by others. Rules and regu- lations are worthless unless put in the hands of men to enforce who have courage, quickness and initia- tive. Every Californian knows that the Folsom af- fair could not have happened with General McComb or Captain Aull in charge. Tl;ey were great prison wardens, and, though they are dead, there are men leit of the same quality. We refrain from the extensive comment that might be made, but all who read the investigation will make their own comment and reach the conclusion that A ———— | THE FOLSOM INQUIRY. HE investigation of the escape at Folsom is | what is needed at Folsom is not walls alone, nor rules { and regulations, but men in charge who understand that no matter what the difficulties in the way of a convict he considers it his business to escape if he can, and it is a play of mind against mind, nerve against nerve, and his restraint lies in eternal watch- fulness and constant courage on the part of those who are set over him. The country is being roamed over by nearly half a score of desperadoes now, heroes in the eyes of the criminal class, a menaée to society, their success a spur to like ventures in every prison, because Folsom was inefficiently officered. President Roosevelt and his advisers discussed re- cently ways and means to improve the political situa- tion in New York. Let Tammany Hall have free reign and the people in natural revolt will flee to anything else that presents itself. Democratic - ex- cesses may always be relied upon as elements of Re- publican success. e s WHERE JUDGES DIFFER. USTICE BREWER of the United States Su- J preme Court has recently declared a conviction that the law's delay is in somie measure respon- sible for the prevalence of lynch law. He does not even by implication offer an excuse or a palliation of Iynching, for he speaks of the offenses of the mobs {as “atrocities,” but after asking what can be done to | stay the evil he says: “One thing is the establishment of a greater confidence in the summary and certain punishment of the criminal. Mén are afraid of the law’s delays and the uncertainty of its results. Not that they doubt the integrity of the Judges, but they know that the law abounds with technical rules, and that appellate courts will often reverse a judgment of conviction for a disregard of such rules, notwithstand- ing a full belief in the guilt of the accused, If all were certain that the guilty ones would be promptly | tried and punished the inducement to lynch would be | largely taken away.” £ The view thus stated coincides with public opinion, and there has been a widespread commendation of the position taken by Justice Brewer. Other Judges, | however, have hastened to assert an opposite doc- trine and to maintain that the law's delay has in no degree rendered the people discontented with " the processes of the courts—at least not to such an extent as to impel them to take the law into their own hands and inflict punishment by lynching. Thus Judge Woodward of New York stated in a Chautauqua ad- dress: “The technical rules which are made use of by the guilty to delay the day of execution are the rules which guarantee to the innocent the preservation of their rights, even in the face of popular clamor.” He went on to say that all attempts to determine the efficiency of law by consideration of the amount of time elapsing between the commission of the crime and the final act of the jury is foolish. A similar statement is reported from Justice Lore of Delaware, who, also addressing the Chautauquans, said: “Any court of justice that would listen to the mob and suffer it to prescribe its methods should be abolished as a mockery of human justice. The more brutal the crime, the more degraded the criminal, the more widespread and intense the public outrage, the more imperative it is that courts of justice should | give a caltm, just and fair hearing and that the guilt be established, otherwise .men may be punished for a crime they did not commit.” It will be readily perceived that neither Judge Woodward nor Judge Lore stated the position of Jus- tice Brewer fairly. Brewer's plea is not for railroad- ing a suspected man to the gallows or to prison. It is no more nor less than a plea that has been made over and over again by earnest men seeking a rem- edy for the manifest evils of our system of criminal prosecution. Lynch law is not the only evidence that something is wrong with our legal machinery for the prosecution and punishment of crime. The number of murders committed in the United States is appalling for a civilized country, and the percentage of offend- ers punished is much lower than it should be. Clearly then there is something wrong. The public has believed Brcw;r to be right, but now that other Judges rise to combat his doctrine an interesting sub- ject is open for controversy. Who shall decide when Judges disagree? Oakland has tried the intelligent experiment of re- ducing the number of pupils in each class of her pub- lic schools, thus giving to teachers greater opportuni- ties to devote their time to necessary individual in- struction. The result is that hundreds of non-resi- dents are seeking to send their children to the schools in Oakland. A suggestion of imitation would proba- bly strike our Board of Education as absurd. I tral Assembly of the Chautauqua, Mr. Graves of Georgia justified Iynching as punishment of the crime unspeakable, and charged that crime in fre- quency elsewhere unheard of and unknown upon the Southern negro. This charge has caused a resort to statistics. In the whole United States there are | 3,800,000 negro males over five years of age: In the past twelve months thirty-eight negroes committed | this crime, for which thirty were lynched and eight were legally executed. So that the ratio of the crime is less than one to 100,000 of the colored males $ in the whole country. In Chicago, in the same twelve | months, the same crime was committed by sixty- | three white men, or at the ratio of one assault to | each 12,000 white males over five years of age in that city. These statistics are not quoted in praise of the abstention of negroes, but as an interesting | contribution to the discussion of race tendencies. THE CRIME OF CRIMES. N the discussion of mobs and Iynching by the Cen- The Board of Education created an alarming prece- dent for itself a few days ago when it refused to dis- miss a teacher from the department without cause. The fact that the same teacher had once been dis- missed and returned by order of court with complete back salary may have had something to do with the board's refreshing exhibition of morality. Reforms may be won slowly, but they are won. A Chinese of this city has been marked for death by his fellows because he had the Mongolian effron- tery to steal away and marry another coolie’s slave girl.

The league, which is the consolidation of three clubs, is the youngest whist club in California and is affiliated with several of the East. ern and Pacific Coast leagues. The league is very proud of its membership and has fine, spacious clubrooms at 320 Post street, where over seventy ladies enjoy duplicate whist on Thursday afternoons, playing a | series of seven games in teams. At the| close of the series there are two hand- some prizes awarded to the two best scores in each team of eight. On Monday afternoons there are several tables of straight whist players. This being pro- gressive is very soclal and serves as a practice game. Members are requested to invite friends on Mondays, and the lady making the highest score is also a prize- winner. Tllustrated lessons are given on | Mondays and Thursdays by a profes- sional, to which members and friends are invited. Lessons begin at 1:30 o'clock sharp.

City Sanitary Offi- cer Tracy, who will probably be chosen to conduct the Board of Health war against the pests, says that experiments already started in various parts of the city show noticeable results in the dimin- ution of the number of mosquitoes in the particular localities where the war has | been waged. Tracy believes that one of the things that must be eliminated be- fore the mosquito can be exterminated is the tin can. ““This is a tin can town,” he said. “The people of Honolulu use more canned goods than any other town of its size. These cans are taken up by the Chinese and Japanese swill gatherers and then thrown out along the road or piled up in the valleys far from town. The rain fills the ‘cans and the mosquitoes breed in them by the million. The first thing to do must be to rid the town of empty tin cans." A mass meeting has been held and the citizens are aiding the authorities In fighting the mosquito. PERSONAL MENTION. Jackson Hatch, a prominent resident of San Jose, is at the Palace. J. W.

Dried fruits must be packed In tweaty- five-pound boxes. Three thousand such boxes will be needed, and from 200 to 300 boxes is the quantity that each interested party may supply, each collection to con- tain as many varieties as possible. The canned frutts are to be packsd part- 1y in tin and partly in glass. The Com- missioners say that there ought to be at least 20,000 cans for an adequate display, and on this basis the largest canners ought to supply at least a ton of fruit. The goods will be so installed at 8t. Louls that each collection will be an individual exhibit. If the owners do not wish to have their products sold they will be returned to owners or agents.
