Any other troops would revolt and kill their officers under such circumstances, but they exhibit the same grim en- durance as the first armies of the Caliphs, which lived brackish water and green'lizards and the weeds of the desert. It must be said that the revolutionists are capable of almost equal abstention, and added to it is the spirit of devotion to what they regard as the cause of liberty. It is probable that two harder human formations never came into conflict before. The war is likely to add to history a chapter that seems taken out of the narrative of human savagery of the far past. — In a recent report a British royal commission rec- ommends that all South African boys be placed un- der compulsory military discipline and be. trained for the army. Britain’s recent clash with the Boers should suggest to her that Seuth African boys are extremely good soldiers with the training they have already received. and other a to mu on empty stom: China, it is said, intends to ask President Roose- velt to act as arbitrator and determine the status of the Flowery Kingdom among the nations.

STRIKE INCIDENTS. ] T seems that the strikers on the electrical lines in ] l Oakland are the victims of the unwise and vio- lent advice which has been common in the col- |umns of some newspapers and the mouths of some lperfen‘id orators. The public always submits to much inconvenience, and in some cases to much loss, during a labor strike. If the reason of the strike and its methods are in line with the popu- lar sense of justice the men always have behind them the sure support of public opinion, and in such cir- cumstances no strike has ever failed. There is a proper human sympathy with labor in the matter of just wages and right hours which wins !for it every just demand. When this sympathy is lacking a strike becomes simply a trial of endurance, and usually degenerates into a competition of foree, | in which the law is violated, primordial rights are in- vaded, and there is presented a sad spectacle of law- less passion and defiance, of public order. Even if a strike succeed by such means the cause of organized |labor is injured, and every party to it has lost the | finer elements of good citizenship, which dictate re- :apcfl for the rights of others and willing obedience to the law. Unijortunately the haranguers who seek | every center of disturbance for a display of their vanity are too often accepted by workingmen as the guides of their conduct, and the counsel of wisdom, | making for good order, is disregarded. In the Oakland strike very portentous and threat- ening features have appeared from time to time, and | the orderly people have been much disquieted by the | tendency to violence and disorder. 1 Recently have occurred incidents of the maost !alarming nature that go to the very life of the com- munity. The telephone cable has been cut at night, destroying the use of the’ telephones in one-half of | the city. Life might have been lost by it. The sick | could not call a physician nor the dying seek reli- gious consolation in an emergency. Engagements and appointments of business importance could not ! be made, and there was a loss of time, temper, pa- | | tience and health among nearly 40,000 people as a | As if this | | were not enough, in the next night the police and fire alarm wires were cut at a vital point which disused | | them all, and the city was left at the mercy of fire | |and crime. This is a felony of the highest grade. iThe two acts show a reckless and criminal disregard t | of law, a defiance of the interests of the community, | {a cold-hearted indifference to peril and suffering, i:hal a savage would hesitate to exhibit. They ex- { press the ultimate of bad citizenship, lack -of man- | hood and excess of cowardice. While they cost the electrical company involved a great deal in money, they struck past that object of criminal hatred and | delivered a blow at the vitals of the people. He is a narrow and shortsighted man who sees in | them anything less than a still worse blow at the good name of organized labor. They tend to make any accommodation of the original issue involved in the strike impossible, since the company can hardly stand before the world in the light of having possibly taken back into its confidence the reckless criminals who delivered a whole population over to conflagra- tion and crime and condemned one-half of it to loss of the means of communication which might have been necessary to the saving of life or the alleviation pt There can be no proper sympathy with such acts, and the misfortune is that result of the dastardly and cowardly act. of dire distress. | international resentment of them projects far past the guilty afd'is i not spent until it has included the whole scheme of | organized labor. | It will be a refreshing evidence of sanity and good | citizenship if such organized force instantly and un- , equivocally repudiate the crimes and the criminals | and join in hunting them down, to bring them to jus- | tice, that they may get the punishment they have | B — The Santa Clara woman who resisted being robbed | of three hundred revolver in hand, faced the robber, forced him to disgorge and then ned higy ikto the custody of the Sheriff of the unty, located in the State. ‘She should have been in Placer County three weeks ago 1d we mi dollars, who, is unfortunately ght have had at least one more convict TOM JOHNSON WINS ready to pay the penalty at a rope’s end. VER in Ohio the Bryanite Democrats have O met the reorganizers and taken them into camp. Mr} Zimmerman, who was in the fight at the beginning, was not in it at the finish. His name was not even submitted to the conven- tion. Only two men were in sight—first and fore- most loomed up the figure of the irrepressible Tom Johnson, fnd near him the figure of a new man, a certain Jehn H. Clark, who is nominated as candi- date of the party for the United States Senate. The outcome is a sudden shiiting of the chief fig- ures in the little comedy. Only a short time ago Johnson was declaring with exuberant earnestness that he was not and would not be a candidate for the governorship, alleging with many words o protestation that he deems himself far better fitted to be Mayor of Cleveland than Governor of Ohio, and erting, moreover, that he has plans for the wel- fare of the people of Cleveland which he believes self bound to carry out at every sacrifice of per- al ambition. So frequent were such statements from the lips of Johnson that people believed them to be true by rea- son of their very iteration, and political experts pro- | ceeded to explain them wpon the theory that John- son had no desire for the governorship, but was cager for a seat in the United States Senate, and would keep out of the gubernatorial contest and de- | | vote all his energies, his abilities and his moneys to | the task of electing a Democratic majority to the | Legislature, to the end that the majority might re- turn the complimept by electing him to the United States Senate. ! It appears that after making’ his programme on inhosc lines Johnson learned that he would have a { better chance to control his party by getting into | the fight for the governorship himself and surren- 'dering the Senatorial prospect to one of his lieu- tenants. A man of prompt action, he at once re- | arranged his plan of campaign and went to the front. | His success in the camp has been overwhelming. He captured first the committee on credentials, and | through that captured the convention and dictated the platform. He is now in the saddle, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say he is in the auto- mobile, for he prefers the machine to the horse when he rides. Political experts pronounce the Democratic cam- paign in Ohio this year to be a forlorn hope, but it is doubtful if Johnson would have accepted the leadership were such the case. He is a man of many theories with respect to the property of others, but when his own interests are at stake he is strictly business. He has made many millions and he knows bow to handle them orofitablv. Ha would like to be | peace.” FR NCISCO CALL, FRIDAY the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presi- dency next year. Victory in Ohio this fall Would vastly increase his chances of obtaining that honor. That he will make a hard figfit is unquestionable, and it will not do for Republicans to trust too much to the belief that he is leading a forlorn hope. Tom Johnson is a “get there, Eli,” sort of a man, and with all his vagaries he has a’strong following, as has been shown by his successes in Cleveland. It will not do for Mark Hanna to indulge himself in the luxury of gout this fall. He must hustle for votes from now until election day. e —— Uncle Sam has added a new and formidable war- ship to his splendid array in the Pennsylvania, re- cently launched. Such little incidents as this have’a tendency to increase the spirit of friendship and good will toward us, and in the expression of which TOO MUCH CASTRO. OR a long time the district of Ciudad Bolivar, Flionary government, which administered all of its public affairs, having complete de facto jurisdic- natives and foreign nationals, paid their taxes to the Finally, Castro’s army cap- our European’cousins are so ostentatious. n Venezuela, was in possession of the revolu- tion and authority. All of the people in the district, de facto government. | tured the district and the government de facto was replaced by the government de jure. This is a process that occurs constantly in the revo- lutionary states of Latin-America. In some of them it happens several times a year. Under public and law the inhabitants are protected in their submission to the de facto government. When it is succeeded by the government de jure_the latter has no right to exact from them again the taxes they have paid to the government de facto. This rests upon such plain principles of justice as to re- quire no discussion nor explanation. When our Civil War closed the same questions were presented to our government as occur in the revolutionary states of Latin-America. We decided them in conformity to public law and international justice. In Texas vs. White, Chief Justice Chase, delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, said, defining the condition and juris- diction of the de facto government of Texas during the rebellion: “It is not necessary to attempt any exact definitions within which the acts of such a state government must be treated as valid or invalid. It may be said, perhaps with sufficient accuracy, that acts necessary to peace and good order among citi- zens, such, for example, as acts sanctioning and pro- tecting marriage and the domestic relations, govern- ing the course of descents, regulating the conveyance and transfer of property, real and personal, and pro- viding remedies for injuries to person and estate, and other similar acts that would be valid if emanat- ing from a lawful government, must be regarded, in general, as valid when proceeding from an actual though unlawful government.” In Horn vs. Lockhart, an Alabama case, Mr. Jus- | tiee Field, in delivering the opinion of the court, said: “The existence of a state of insurrection did not loosen the bonds of society or do away with civil government or the regular administration of the law. Order was to be preserved, police regulations to be maintained, crime prosecuted, property pro- tected, marriages celebrated, estates settled, and descent of property regulated, precisely as in time of Mr. Justice Strong, in another case, assert- ing the same doctrine, said: “Any other doctrine than this would work great and unnecessary hard- | ship upon the people of tliose States, without any advantage to the national government.” No one ever suggested that, when the war was over, it was the right of the United States to compel the people who had been under the de facto govern- ment of the Confederacy to pay again to the United | States their tariff and excise taxes. Such a proceed- [ |ing would have been the essence of oppression and tyranny. But the principles of public and interna- tional law do not disturb the usurping robber Cas- tro, and he has exacted from foreign nationals pay- | ment to him of the taxes they had already paid to a ldc facto government, and to enforce the outrage has iput tP!em ir? prison. | While this is going on it is rather nauseating to ian American to read the last eruption of Minister Bowen, who is in before the Hague tribunal. He, with that disregard of diplomatic propriety which has too frequently ad- | vertised at once the increasing dimensions of his | head and his desire to be an object of interest, volun- | teered the statement that he had no doubt all Europe was surprised to see him there in the double capa- ity of United States Minister to Caracas and ac- credited representative of Venezuela, but he was “proud to say” that he would “always be found { standing up for the weak against the strong.” If he had the faintest glimmer of a conception of | justice he would know that the weak are the foreign | nationals, individuals, who have been robbed, humil- | iated, wronged and outraged by Venezuela, a sover- | eignty, and strong in its sovereign righfs. The fel- | low is rapidly becoming a greaser after Castro’s own | heart, and would do well to resign his post as United | States Minister and put on a poncho and denation- alize himself. ic { The white girl of this city who fought her folks, rebelied against the good counsel of the courts and endured imprisonment that she might be restored to her Chinese husband has won her struggle and will again link her fortunes with her coolie spouse.

Ullywu only a little more than a year ago that local society circles were startled by the elopement of Breckenridge with the daughter of Samuel G. Murphy, presi- dent of the First National Bank.

T has been said repeatedly timi any woman, who is not positively deformed, can, with tact and delicacy, win any man she sets her heart upon, hut—can she? How many women have smilingly accepted the compliment of the assertion in public, only to ponder the ques- tion anxiously, oft times hopelessly, in the privacy of the boudoir. What an old, old. problem it is, to be_sure, but oh, how appallingly new to most of the gentler sex who will read these lines. Matrimony —the right man—a comfortable, happy home. It is the one great prob- lem of a woman's life from the cradle to the grave. They are the ideals that women have always cherished, always will. And how many, or rather, how few, realize their ideals. It is a problem that few men can understand, or, worst of all, ever try to understand. Man, with his lordly assumption of all the prerog- atives of life worth having. may woo and win where and when he list- eth. But to woman—passive, receptive woman—what is given? She must wait her lover’s coming. She may not seek, as man does. that which pleases her most. And out of the lovers who choose to woo she must make what poor selection is afforded her, and, burying the ideal, give all the fluttering, clinging hope of the future to shaping the real into something akin to the god of her dreams. - And in this world of sham and show. of the mad chase for wealth. the problem has become vastly more vexatious than it ever was before. Even though it has been long accepted as something akin to a joke. it happens all too often in real life, that she loves the poor man. and must choose between him and a wealthier though less undesirable suitor. Perverse woman, say the knowing and the worldly: but only the girl who has been-confronted with such 2 problem can realize the heartburn- ing. the sublime emotional tragedy of it all. Whichever way she chooses some great part of the ideal is shatjpred and—what then? Every woman who reads is seekIng the answer to just such a ques- tion. Just a few of those who write have tried to answer it for her. Such a one is the “Hali-Hour-Storiette” in the next Sunday Call, en- titled “When Jabberwock Rode.” Curious title, isn’t it> Well. it is a curious story, and one that answers the problem as—well. read it and see if you would answer it that way. If you are a woman it is ten chances to one you would or—would you? Perhaps, after all, you wouldn't, for there is another story that solves the riddle in a different way. Tt is called “Betwixt Dad and Joe.” but the problem before the girl is not exactly what you would infer from that title—indeed not by a great deal. Nor can you guess what man- ner of finesse she used to brine about a happy ending—the only sort an ardent girl will ever accept. Still another is “Under the Car of the Juggernaut.” but the girl in this Story did not have things as much her own way as you might think she did frem such a title.
