HE burdens laid upon the deeply distressed T Democracy of this city have been augmented by incurring the displeasure of Mr. William Randolph Hearst, candidate for President and phil- osopher oi fiddie-strings. The Democratic convention resolved against fusion and against permitting any of its nominees to accept nomination from any other party. This policy was dictated by sore and frequent experience. The party under Mr, William Rzndolph}learst's dictation has | fused with- any old zl‘ung that came along. In 1896 it fused with the Populists, and again did the same in 1900. In State politics it has fused with every- thing but the Prohibitionists, and would have done | that if cloves had been passed pending the negotia- tion. Out of every fusion it has come with less votes than it would have probably polied alone, and in such barren results of that policy it has acquired a prejudice against mixing. But while the fusion habit is rejected as a party there be individuals in the party who have it yet, and so several candidates took pains and trouble to provide themselves with the labor party nomina- don in advance and then report for indorsement to the assembled and warring regulars and horses and carts, in convention met to point with pride, view with alarm -and reach for things. There they found a cold-hearted determination to denounce the Mayor, as head of the labor party, and to pick such flaws and bore such holes in his administration as to make 1t | look like a colander. Having done this it is dis- tinctly out of order to permit fusion with the Mayor's party, and the “sooner” candidates who had secured its nomination find themselves compelled to elect and choose between the two. Thereupon they are sore smitten and mourn. The irade against fusion issued by the grand Turk of the city Democracy shoots above the lowly wretches who want small offices and are content with crumbs. McNab loses no tricks and has an excellent memory. In that respect ‘he is the Democratic Mazeppa, and in that only, for he is as proper a man as ever bossed a party and put up epigrams of equal pungency whether suggested by victory or de- feat. Mr. William Randolph Hearst has long dis- approved of Mr. McNab, and has even gone to the extreme of putting him upon his blacklist, along with Denman, Sam Brooks, Phelan and others, for that list is formidable and was for years headed by the name of Stephen M. White, who dared be elected | to the United States Senate without the consent of Mr. William Randolph Hearst. McNab has not wasted away and become anaemic under the strain, but has remained sufficiently robust to know the time to strike back. That time came with the present convention. Mr. William Randolph Hearst has been busy creating a labor party in order to have something with which Democracy can fuse, with him as the representative of both. He concludes that fusion on every local candidate is the best way to begin, and desired that this city, upon which he conferred the inexpressible honor of selecting it for his birthplace, should lead off. The wily McNab saw the longings of ambition in Mr. William Randolph Hearst running up and down like mercury in the stem of a thermometer and smote them with a clay- more by compelling the party to canonize against fusion and compelling straight nominations. His Bannockburn would not have been complete if Wil- liam Randolph Hearst had not winced and yowled under the blow. But this was not lacking, for Wil- liam Randolph Hearst in an inspired editorial ran up and down the gamut of regret and disappointment, jawed the local party for not being the willing instru- ment of his ambition, and reminded it fretfully but firmly that it and the labor party look alike to him and he does not approve of Democrats to whom they appear different. Then McNab rejoiced, for he had pushed a bod- kin through the armor of the Presidential candidate and the whole town had seen the victim wince and heard him cry. But it is safe to say that the anti- fusion plank will stand, and if candidates want to stand on the Democratic ticket they must step off the labor ticket. McNab’s tartan is straight goods, and the advocates of cocktail politics will have to quit mixed drink and come to plain grog. —— The delays and procrastination: of California courts are proverbial, but it took a San Jose man sentenced for an offense and awaiting judgment on appeal to state the case in its most ridiwlous and at the same time most pathetic form. Hewhas begged the courts to permit him to begin his pinishment and to dismiss the appeal he has made to the Su- \ ! THE DUTY AND THE MAN. Y the vote upon the various bond proposals, it B is made evident that the people of San Fran- | cisco demand at this time a progressive ad- ministration with a good business man in the office of Mayor. To vote for a large bonded debt for the purpose of obtaining money for public works without accompanying the vote with a resolve to elect none but thoroughly competent men to office, and above | all to elect an experienced and efficient man of affairs to manage and direct the business of the city, would be a folly of which the voters of San Francisco are hardly to be suspected. We take it, therefore, that ! the vote on the bond issues signifies a movement which to a large extent will override party lines and will carry a big majority of the voters to the side of Mr. Crocker and his colleagues on the Republican ticket. Without any disparagement to the personal and political merits of the two candidates in opposition, it can be said that neither of them is known as a man of business. Neither has ever shown any capacity as a financier or as an executive officer. Neither has had experience in the practical management of a large business of any kind. Neither of them, therefore, is in any way equipped for the efficient performance of the work which in add®ion to the ordinary duties of a Mayor is to be imposed upon the chief executive of the incoming administration. Mr. Crocker has had the training which tends di- |rectly to fit a man for fulfilling the functions of the Mayor of a city like San Francisco. He has been the directing head of business en- terprises of large extent and has been uniformly successful in his management of them. He un- derstands finance and administrative work thor- oughly. He has been doing that kind of work | with conspicuous success for many years. He will | carry to the office a judgment ripened by the actual | performance of work not essentially dissimilar to that which the Mayoralty will entail, and cohsequently from the very start he will be ready to perform with sagacity and promptness every duty that arises, | whether in the ordinary routine of the office or from | some question of the bond issues. In addition to the superior personal qualifica- | tions which Mr. Crocker has when compared with | his opponents, there is another advantage on his side which should not be overlooked by any voter who has a sincere regard for the welfare of the | | city. Mr. Crocker is backed by a well-ordered and | harmonious party. There are no factions contend- |ing around him for control of the offices or for participation in what they look upon as the spoils | of office. was genuinely representative of the rank and file | as the representative of the party as a whole, pledged to nothing beyond the welfare of the city | as expressed in the Republican platform. No boss had anything to do with nominating him. He was the choice of no faction. | faction. He enters the campaign free and un- | trammeled, and he will enter office with an equal | freedom. Contrast that showing of the forces back of Mr. Crocker with those that are not only back of the opposing candidates but are in front of them and on all sides of them at the same time, and it will be seen that the political advantages possessed by Mr. Crocker are of themselves sufficient to win for | him the support of independent voters. He will | never be called upon to distribute loaves and fishes | | for the feeding of hungry factions. He will be | able to give the city a strictly business adminis- | tration, and can be counted on to do so. He is | therefore entitled to the votes of independents as | well as to those of his own party. In fact, the vote on the bond proposals gives reason for lieving he will receive many votes from men who in the last municipal election voted for the Demo- cratic ticket or for the labor ticket. The demand is for a business administration, and that being | |80 Henry J. Crocker is clearly the man whom the | civic patriotism and common sense of his fellow | citizens will call to direct the municipal adminis- tration for the ensuing term. B — There is good reason to believe that the revolu- tionary junta which is operating to the annoyance of Uncle Sam in the Philippines has one of its head- quarters in Madrid and is receiving assistance from the Spanish Government. Our good friend Spain should not concern herseli. We took a white ele- phant off her hands, and nothing she can do can | make the condition of our affairs in the Philippines worse than it is B — OSTENTATIOUS WEALTH. NLY a short time ago President Hadley of Yale addressed the students upon the growth of an ostentatious luxury among the wealthier members of the university and declared a conviction that the intellectual life of the place would be weakened unless some means were found for putting a stop to the evil. Hardly had his indig- nant protest and carnest appeal died away when re- ports from the East brought the story of a freshman arriving at the university town in a private car ac- companied by such a retinue that the railway officials thought the president of the road had come. Evi- dently wealth at Yale continues to be ostentatious. Time was when a freshman who would have dared to put on the least swagger at Yale would have had left him limp for the rest of the academic year, but under the new order of things the more swagger the freshman can show the more kow tow is done to him by his admiring fellows, Excesses at Yale are but a reflex of the excesses of life in New York. Recently Whitelaw Reid spoke of the ostentation of wealth as one of the greatest evils | of our time and country. He attributed it mainly to the desire for amusement on the part of people who could not amuse themselves in any rational way. Incapable of any esthetic or intellectual enjoyment, the rich idlers rush to extravagance as a means of amusing themselves. “Gregariousness and glare,” he said, “are the irredeemably vulgar notes of it all. To seek enjoyment within yourself and your own circle, in resources of your own, becomes unendurable. Thus Newport rather than Biltmore becomes the veneered and shiny national type for those who can at will command either.” A recent reviewer in describing the cost of the amusements of the ostentatious set ‘says: “Take the new life of sport and recreation. Twenty millions of dollars are to-day invested in clubhouses, grounds and equipments for the game of golf; two millions were spent last year for golf clubs and balls. Eight millions of dollars’ worth of other sporting goods, such as are used in tennis, baseball, shooting, etc., were bought. More than $50,000,000 is. invested in Me craft, chiefly steam yachts.

A thousand dollars a day is not an ex- cessive figure for the maintenance of the average floating palace. It is easier to rent a high class steam yacht than it is to find a tenant for a costly summer estate. In New York city alone are owned automo- biles worth $20,000,000.” One report says that a New York man “prominent in financial and social life stated the other day that it cost him $5000 a day to live aside from his yacht and all extraordinary expenses.” That is perhaps an exaggeration, but the very telling of the story shows to what extent extravagance has been carried in the metropolis as well as in the “smart set” universities. If the denunciations of men like President Hadley and Whitelaw Reid have no effect upon the swaggerers they might ponder with profit the saying of Collis Huntington that the American people would never quarre! with a rich man so long as he did not paint himself green and climb a pol A society of professional incendiaries, who style themselves “The Firebugs’' Protective Association,” has been uncovered in Chicago, and the police are alert for developments which may involve prominent business men in serious trouble. The name of this body of dangerous operators may be new, but the character of the society is known to every fire mar- shal in every American city. Damage by fire is un- fortunately an asset in some business firms. WHY WE SUCCEED. OHN FOSTER FRASER is one of those for- ! J eigners who after a careful study of American growth and development have come to the con- clusion that our success is due not solely to the rich- ness and variety of our natural resources, but mainly to the excellence of our business methods and the | daring, the energy with which our enterprises are con- ceived and carried out. He has recently published a summary of his studies of American work and set forth the respects in which he deems us to be su- perior to all rivals. The estimate is not wholly sincere effort to gauge our place in the business world. It is therefore an interesting chapter of Euro- | pean criticism upon us and helps us to understand the impression we are making upon the world. The American, says Mr. Fraser, is more optimistic | than the Englishman; he succeeds largely because he | has an abiding confidence that he cannot do other- | wise than succeed. The failure of this or that man in | business in Europe makes other men cautious and | | hesitating, but in America when a number of men in { any line fail their rivals, instead of being alarmed by | | the failures, look upon them as events which have removed competitors from the field and grow more | confident than ever. Again the American is a better | advertiser than the Briton; he has more adaptability | and more readily meets the demands of trade in all | parts of the world; he is more watchful of the public, more prompt to supply what the public desires; more- | over he pays better wages and salaries than are paid by European business men, and finally he is younger | and more enterprising than his European rivals. | The points in which Mr. Fraser deem us inferior | to the British are, first, a willingness to furnish cheap i ‘z:rticlcs instead of good ones and, second, a tendency : | to seek quantity of product rather than quality. To | | those characteristics he attributes much of the suc- cess we have attained in competition with British manufacturers. Thus he says: “Recently I tra\'eled’ by the Trans-Siberian line across Asia. Most of the | railc were American. They were not of good quality, | Indeed they were poor stuff. English firms had been | given an opportunity to provide rails for this line, but | | they could not produce the article they usually manu- El’actu(ed at the price the Russian Government was willing to pay. So England lost millions of pounds. Neither could American firms produce a good article for the price. But they could produce an article of a { sort, money's worth, and if it was a poor article that was not their lookout.” ¢ It is to be noted in this connection that our alleged | willingness to make cheap goods to meet a demand for them is not looked upon by Mr. Fraser as a de- fect in our business 'methods, but rather as an evi dence of the flexibility of our system and of the adaptability of our people to the conditions of trade in any particular market. Thus in speaking of our | | trade in the East he says: “The American recognizes ! that the purchaser is the person who decides, and if : | people of the East want gaudy, good-looking mate- | rial, though shoddy, he will make it for them. He ! knows it is not good. He does not—outside his ad- | vertising range—pretend it is. It is, however, what ! is wanted, and he is the man to produce what is wanted.” It is in the opportunity given to youth, however, that Mr. Fraser sees the chief advantage of American business methods. On that score” he says: “In! England responsible positions are given to elderly | men. It is considered that they are safe, they are sound, they will be inclined to do nothing rash. That | is true enough. The American, however, does not ‘ want that kind of man. He wants a man with youthful vigor, with ideas, a man who has his way to make, not one who is content to glide from middle i age to an elderly age by just keeping things going ' in a respectable, decorous way. So young men in America are placed at the heads of departments. They make mistakes. The employer, however, is wise enough to see the young man can do something ! | clse besides make mistakes. He forgets the occa- sional slips in recognizing merits in other directions. A young man, therefore, feels confidence is placed in him, and he never relaxes energy in his ardor to pro- duce something better, more attractive, something that will lift him up and make him worth a huge sal- | ary.’ To these mental and moral forces rather than'to any advantage of sun or soil, or abundance of raw ! material, Mr. Foster attributes the marvelous strides we have made in our commercial invasion of the markets of Europe. There can-be no question of the soundness of his conclusion. In the hands of an unen- terprising people all our resources would have re- mained undeveloped and unexploited. It is the per- sonal factor that counts for most in the development of any kind of civilization, and if the American excels the European in the industrial competition of the age it is because he is the better business man. — That part of the Superior Court having its being in San Francisco and weird in the record of its anomalous decisions has nicked a new notch in its remarkable career. It has decided that “knockout drops,” that deadly poison which only the predatory and murderous minded carry, may be legally in one’s possession until an evil intent to use be estab- lished. One may as well say that the possessor of a mask, skeleton keys, brass knuckles and a re- volver is a pillar of state until his murdered victim is | i ) | | | mission, { worth $44,340, and promissory notes for $6850, COMPOSITE ARCH OVER RICH ORES AT EXPOSITION ‘The exhibition of minerals from Cali- fornia to be made at St. Louis—to be apart from the collective display of other products of this State—being placed in the mines and mining bullding, will be made conspicuous from afar off by a novel feature. This will be an arch, de- vised by State Mineralogist Aubury, which will be made of the representa- tive building stones of the State. Above | glittering specimens flecked with gold, this composite architectural feature will IOWEK upward twenty-five feet. At first it was intended to have two composite arches, but the cost and the smailness of the appropriation for all purposes made it seem advisable to have but ome. Local architects are engaged in prepar- ing various ornamental features and a drawing will be submitted in a few days, showing the arch as it will be. State Mineralogist Aubury has returned from a tour of the southern counties, | during which he arranged for collactionn; of minerals for St. Louls. Two months | will pass before the specimens from ull{‘ parts of the State will be in hand.: Enough is now known to warrant the ex- | pectation that California’s mineral rep- resentation will be excellent. The lead- | ing idea pursued by Mr. Aubury is that varfed resources, and especially those for which this State has had little credit abroad, shall be put where they will ad- vertise California to the best advantage. In securing gold spccimens, the plan has been pursued of purchasing them out-| right at their actual gold value, so that the State will have value for its money. | Great cubes will be prepared to illustrate | the gold output of California since 1848. Among the newer products of the State ' will be shown borax, soda and niter and | turquolse specimens from San Bernardino county, marbles and other structural ma- | terfals, including cement, from San Ber-| nardino county; lipedolite, which is found | in large quantities in San Diego county, | and tourmalines and other gems from | the same county; clays, terra cotta press. ed bricks and structural materials gener- aily from Los Angeles county; petroleum ! from Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los An- | geles, Kery, Fresno and other counties, ' and borax from Inyo county. The oil exhibit will be accompanied by ofl sands, llustrations of the geological formations in which petroleum is discovered and complete analyses of ofis from hundreds | of oll wells. 1 i Gold, copper, lead and other minerals will be displayed as representative of all | countles where such products are found. | In fact all mineral industries will be made known as far as possible. Collectors are In the field and are in constant com- | munication with the State Mineralogist. | —————————— | CONCERT TO BE GIVEN IN HONOR OF WAGNER Unveiling of Monument in Berlin to | Be Celebrated in This | ™ City. | In honor of the unveiling in Berlin, Ger- many, to-morrow of the monument to Richard Wagner, the famous composer, a grand Wagner concert will be given to- | morrow evening at Lyric Hall, 119 Eddy street, under the direction of Mme.
