The small growers would deliver mall lots, less than a carload. These lots were ag- gregated to make a full car, but each grower was charged by the commission men the broken car rate, which is about twice the full car rate. This overcharge did not go to the railroad company, but went into the pockets of the commission men. it is a sickening story of unfair exaction and of policy of spoliation of the fruit-growers of Cali fornia. The State Board of Trade has set for itself the task of finding all the facts and putting the dis- closure in the hands of the growers, that they may themselves. It is 2 good work and great, and should have the sympathy and support of the press of the State, and should be facilitated and ap- preciated by every fruit planter in California. Its re- sults may well add millions to the profits of the planters, whose enterprise has developed this to be the most permanent and the most characteristic of all the industries of the State i e e General J. P. Sanger, chief of the Philippine cen- sus, says that Uncle Sam has acquired 7,000,000 civ- ilized subjects and 600,000 uncivilized in the islands of the southern seas. It would be interesting and pos- sibly instructive to discover how he made the distinc- tion. To everybody else who has traveled to our new possessions all Filipinos look alike, and if they are civilized it must be a new brand to fact they protect THE RUSSO-JAPANESE CRISIS. NE cannot be indifferent to the spectacle of O Japan, a nation of 45,000,000 of people, de- | fying Russia, with 110,000,000. War may be | averted, but in view of the glacier-like movement of | Russia it is safe to say that she will yield nothing of | consequence for the sake of peace. Surely the stake | for which Russia plays must be of supreme impor- | tance, to justify the cheating of which she has been guilty in the course of the game. .Her diplomacy | has been entirely discredited and disgraced, if judged | from the standpoint of honor and good faith. But if | judged by its success so far attained it is the great- | est lomacy in histery. If to get a position of advantage by false pre- | tense and hold it by falschood be great diplomacy, the Russian sort is great. 1f she come in conflict with Japan the stake played for will be the complete | master of Eastern Asia. If Russia win she wins more | than ti in prospect, for wipning may easily make | her the master of the world. Her victory will make | her, by alliance and force, the dictator of China. In | the Russians and the Tartars and Mongols runs com- | mon blood. In facing eastward again the Russian is | only countermarching over ground that he trod as { far back as the time of Alexander the Great. Ii put | control of China, which seems to" be the end | sought by Russia, it will be not control merely, but leadership, based upon a common orientalism, but in- fused with the spirit of the modern world. She will lead China to an awakening that will be Russian, and the 420,000,000 of Chinese will be added to the population and the fighting force of Russia in a stu- | pendous combination that can dictate terms to every capital of Europe i Given one empire, one Czar, one moving spirit from the Baltic to the China Sea, and how insig- nificant is the part of the world left to the rest of pe!

Nowhere around the horizon is there a sign of sup- | port to the insular empire. The contest seems so un- | equal as to excite the world’s pity. Otherwise there {is no sign of emotion. Russia’s volume of -decep- | tions, her often broken faith, her multiplied duplici- ties, have not even excited the indignation of the Governments she has deceived. It surely seems if Fate had come armed from the North to foreclose | on the hopes of the world. s e The joint note cf Austria and Russia, designed to suggest a solution to the Macedonian problem, is not ttaken seriously by Bulgaria, which is discredited by | | the suspicion that it is an active but secret instigator | of the entire trouble. The Bulgarian Cabinet evi- dently forgets that the men who use pens also wield swords in the interesting game in which the Balkans now hold the European stage T Lode in this State, so says the Mother Lode | Banner, and proceeds to give particulars. The Banner, which is published at Sonora, in the heart of | the mining county of Tuolumne, says: “The use of crude oil as a steam-maker is increasing rapidly in this county. By its use the mine operators see a | way of escape from the vexatious annual shutdown that has been necessary when water is alone depended { upon.” | To be independent of water in the operation of mines has been the dream of operators for years. The | remedy for months of inaction did not at first ap- pear, nor has it even yet been clearly developed in any section. The anxious eyes of the dwellers on the Mother Lode and in all places where there are 1 ines in California has from the earliest days been directed to the lofty peaks of the high Sierras and to their rugged and ample flanks for the purpose of dis- cerning each year the amount and condition of the snowfall, the storehouse of power for the summer months. Now, so reasons the Banner, that will eventually be a thing of the past. “The installation of oil-burning plants,” it says, “has made several companies independent enough to run through the water famine, patronizing the water company when it has water to sell, but the-inven- tion of direct acting crude oil consuming engines is making power so cheap that there is little use of POWER ON THE LODE. HERE is a new era for the mines of the Mother |in the departments | country | rival class women of a Kansas college the ANCISCO CALL, WEDX ESDAY, OCTOBER 14 1903, 2 six-horsepower engine can be run for twelve hours for 2bout 25 cents, including lubricating oil, and large engines can be run propertionately cheaper. The engines mentioned, if kept supplied with fuel and properly lubricated, will run for an indefinite time with little care and attention. Another engine, using crude oil direct, runs steadily with little care, furnishing power far below the cost of water or elec- tricity.” e Gory accounts of another disaster, with one man dead and twenty men and women dangerously wounded, have held the public eye for the last few days. It was not a clash between the Turks and the Macedonians, nor a fresh uprising in-the Philippines, nor yet a Russian massacre of the Jews. It was sim- ply another head-on collision on the Southern Pacific Railroad. THE SUPPLY OF TEACHERS. F of a lack of men in the teaching force of the public schools.

A new phase of the problem 1f in Philadelphia. From that city come reperts of a diminishing supply of teachers of bota | sexes, and it seems that in that community it is not a question merely of keeping up the supply of men in | the profession, but of keeping up the profession it- sel In reviewing the situation the Philadelphia Record say there has been an slarming diminution in the of good teachers in the local public schools, what is, perhaps even more notable, there has been a remarkable falling off in the number of young ho enter the local institutions with men and women a view to receiving ir ers *Statistical information on thic subject has heretofore been published Record, to which anybody may refer for confirmation of the statements here made. is this: It goes on to say: in cial record that 230 or more teachers are required every year to fill vacancies created by resignation or Within two years, therefore, the supply will be 200 short of the demand.” The di cline 1n the supply of male teachers has brought forth a multitude cf theories.

In other words, the whole problem, so seemingly complex, could be solved by simply creasing salaries. The Record says that many of the best teachess of the city in times past have leit it to go to New York, because of the higher salaries paid in the metropolis, and adds: “We cannot expect to retain our best teachers when cities so near as New York and Bos- ton offer, respectively. 100 per cent and 50 per cent more salary than they can obtain in Philadelphia.

Co-education in Kansas has reached a development which must make glad the heart of the most insistent new woman in the world. At a recent meeting of young ladies clashed, fought, scratched, blacked one an- other’s eyes, tore their garments to shreds otherwise conducted themselves as fit candidates for 2 house of refuge. Technically their performance was known as a lively exhibition of class feeling. The marvels of police craft in this city see. never to end. Two pool-sellers have been captured and brought to book and nobody appears able to give a satisfactory explanation for the phenomenon. These gamblers must have been off the regular beat of the favored ones. They could not have been operating on any of our leading thoroughfares, for that would have meant immunity from police interference. Per- haps they were strangers in town. . A Berkeley professor has announced, ex-cathedra, that there is nothing inherent in the moral, physical or mental character of a student which should make hint anything else than a gentleman in whatever com- pany he may be thrown. This decree, coming from such a source, will be hailed by the public with sat- buying water at any season.” For instances of this independence the Banner cites the Santa Ysabel mine and the Standard Lumber Company factory. The Jamestown electric light plant, it also says, will buy no more water or elec- tricity, but will generate its own electric energy by the use of an engine running at a cost far below what was formerly paid for water. The cost of producing power on the Mother Lode has been estimated by the Banner, which says: “It isfaction and a hope that some students, fortunately 2 minority, conduct.

The men fought against it, but the women won. and in pursuance of that victory they dragged the defeated candidates out of office by main force. Hence oificial Kansas' perturbation. Hence. too, official Kansas' effort to keep the facts quiet until it gets i and final report of this astounding condition of affairs.

That single | word was, in fact. the kev to Delaroo: reason nobody knew much about him. And this in brief is one of the most tense moments in all Spear- man's exciting narrative of Delaroo’s career: “What do I think of it?” muttered Neighbor, when the local operator asked him for a report for Callahan. “I think there's two engines for the scrap in sight—and the 264. if we can ever find anything of her—and about a million sheep to pay fo Neighbor paused to give an order and survey the frightful scene. “And Delaroo,” repeated the operator.
