It is a familiar truth that the wish is father to the thought. Canada strongly wishes a port of her own opposite the Klon- dike. and out of that wish has arisen first the thought that she has a ht to such a port and later the claim that we are wrongfully depriving her of her territory. The American case, based upon the undisputed oc- cupation of the territory by Russia, from whom we obtzined our title, is confirmed by the language of the treaty between Russia and Great Britain on the subject and by official statements in written docu- ments_of British and of Russian diplomats. The treaty in defining the line along the disputed strip says it shall be “formed by a line parallel to the sin- uosities of the coast and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues therefrom.” The lan- guage itself is clear, but it is made even clearer by statements of the negotiators as to the intent of the reservation to Russia of the strip along the coast. M dc Poletica in a report to Count Nesselrode said: sian possession, It arose the Ki coveries is well out of a desir ¢ territory in t sovereignty over the strip “In fixing the longitude Count de Lambert had mainly in view the establishment of a barricr at which would be estopped once and for all, to the north as well as to the west of the coast allotted to our American compary, the encroachments of the Hudson Bay Company.” It is thus clear that the prime object of the treaty on the part of the Russians was to shut out the Hud- son Bay Company from the sea, and the limits were fixed expressly for that purpose. The United States has succeeded to the rights of Russia and Canada has succeeded to the rights of the Hudson Bay Com- pany. It will therefore require the exercise of a good deal of ingenuity on the part of the British commissioners to make even a good pretensc of a showing to justify the Canadian claims. The plumbers of Portland are out on strike. While this may result in some annoyances and exasperating inconveniences to the people of the city, owners of homes will be relieved from any immediate necessity of mortgaging their houses. .SEPTEMBER 1, 1903 .Herald Square | will | the arguments of the crvm(ndmg par-" are )'rwmrfi and will be ?)mr)ct as much aca». es Senate and indeed-a majority -of the- the- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, GEARY-STREET UTILITY BONDS. HE taxpayers are called upon to vote an issue T of bonds for acquisition to city ownership and operation of the Geary-street Railroad. ~ " The ballot sets forth the purposé of the issue,-so that every voter.may read and know what it is, as fol- Jows: “Proposition to acquire by original construc- tion and completion by the city and county of San Francisco'a public utility, to wit, a_street railroad, angd to incur 8 bonded debt of the city and county to ‘the amount of seven hundred and ten thousand ($710,- 600) dol]ars with m(erest at three-and a half per cent per anniim, for such acquisition of same; the route of | such railroad to be as follows (.ommencmg from Geary street to Market.street. | It -will be observed that this isa pmpo uon to make all the taxpayers pay for 2 street raxlroad for fthe cor thereof who desire to use it. It will be observed ‘that this separa(cs lhe Credlt | from the plant. The taxpayers of the whole city are contribution, by such use, to the principal and inter- est of the bonds. The proposition therefore comes under thé question we have already frankly discussed |and is -open the “‘objections we have already | brought. against thie policy of separating the income | of a:public utility from the cost of its.creation. " To | burden all th- taxpayers for a purpose‘in the interest of -part of the taxpayers is an abuse of the taxing | power, so vicious as to be left without any excuse: When other cities everywhere in this country are | insisting that all public utility bonds shall rest upon | the income ‘of. the plants which they create, and en- lightened public intelligence everywhere is convinced |of the inequity of amy other policy, it is ndt possible that the taxpayets of this city will fly in the face of experience -and coriclusivé, ‘judgment ‘by burdening their- general-fund for a purpose that is restricted in its usefulness to a:few. TR : To this Gea that-has been, said in behalf: of basing utili the -plant alone-as the solé seciirity the people have for the- business and economical managément’.of the same: when in opémtion: - Added to this is: the par--|; tiality of the service to be .rendered.” ‘The “taxpayers to, of ‘the “Mission and_all-Southand.

The | wise proponents of public ownership must themselves see that such policy increases the reasons for econ- omy in administration and enhances the probability | of success. Already in Oakland the proposition to bond the ywhole city for a water plant. is being closely followed | by one to bond it for a telephone system, and the propaganda for the latter is already well under way. Unless a right start is made both cities will find their general fund burdened beyond the possibility of the use of any of it for the essential purposes of govern- | ment and their constitutional credit limit exhausted, leaving them powerless to effect other betterments recognized by all as the proper function of govern- ment. Emperor William has ordered his court portrait painter to make a drawing oi President Roosevelt. \7hat consternation would reign in Berlin official circles if the court painter should draw a picture of Admiral Dewey instead. DELEGATE PARKS. - E have noted the prosecution of Walking WDelegflle Parks of the Housesmiths' and Bridgemen’s Union in New York. He was indicted for extortion of money from contractors and other employers, in whose business he had ordered strikes and who were finally compelled to pay him bribes for permission to go on with their contracts and business. The-jury convicted him and he is sen- tenced to a term in the penitentiary, where he joins Murphy and some other walking delegates who pre- ceded him under conviction of the same form of felony. It is astounding that after his conviction and sen- tence the organization he represented met and re- solved its confidence in him, continued his salary during his term in prison and elected him grand mar- shal of the Labor Day parade. It also declared its purpose to overthrow the existing government of New York City, to avenge the conviction of Parks.

The guilt of Parks was proved beyond all doubt and a jury convicted him. Under such cir- cumstandes the threat to intimidate courts and juries in the administration of the law is something that goes to the very fountain of justige and erects an in- ferior standard of titizenship, incompatiblegwith the welfare of our institutionis.

The commission appointed to ‘select'a site for the capital of the commonwealth completed its labors some time ago by the ‘selection of Tumut, and now -the world { takes a sudden interest in the place. It is said to have -had at the last census 1300 inhabitants, to be practically .half way between the two rival cities of the commonwealth, Melbourne and Sidney, and to be pleasantly located near the center of -a highly cultigated plain, ‘abundantly watcrcd and blessed with a good chmate right to complam but if it is fo bc the cap\tal of the -great -new commonwealth, whose future is bound to ‘be gh\nous, it is.to ‘be hoped the namc will be' summarily - changed.

While the nations of Europe are deliberating, hesi- tating and counting consequences in regard to their reply to the outrages of Turkey, Uncle Sam, bound by no restriction of the natural law of retaliation, has demanded mstant apology and reparation for the in- sult inflicted upon him in the attack on one of his representatives. We have not yet reached, fortu- nately, that stage of refined diplomacy where an in- sult must be made the subyec! of discussion and not of instant resentment. Casimir-Perier, ex-President of France, has con- sidered certain accusations sufficiently grave to deny publicly “that he -ever thought of marrying one of the female members of the Humbert family. It is unfortunate to any state that any condition can force a man who has held such high dignities as has Casi- mir-Perier to confess publicly that he is incapable of the commission of such a palpable indecency. —_— There is-at least some compensation in the fact that two of the escaped convicts of Folsom, who have been captured, are to be tried for murder. Even ii the negligence and perhaps cowardice: of our officials make possible the commission of bloody crimes, it is some consolation to.know that the State can satisfy its veugeancc upon some of’ the offenders. —_— The public school system of California is. to h--e fitting and admirable illustration at the- St. Louis exposition.

One who has filled the chair of master of a lodge, when his term has been completed is the youngest passed master, consequently is the junior passed master. If in a fraternal body, as is the case in some orders, the outgoing pre- siding officer fills the office, gener- ally termed passed master, president, etc., such individual is the junior passed. The one who retires from that chair and. gives ‘way to the junior is, on retiring, known in the order as a passed officer and not as junior, as there cannot be two juniors of the same rank in a fraternal body. - | can kéep hia liver the address of welcome in behalf of the Native Sons and Daughteis of Santa Clara.
