CURIOUS fXpLANATIONS.

We copy an editorial paragraph from the
Alta California. which may prove worthy
of examination. 1t is as follows:
The Sacramento Record Union has been cast
ing up tie returns as filed in the Secretary OF
States Office, and finds that the vote In the State
for the Republican candidates for the Assembly
reached The aggregate OF 13l, 1868, while the vote
for The Democratic Assembly candidates reached
the aggregate only of 107 1903. Ii thus ap-
pears that the Republican Assembly candi-
dates ran 1896 votes ahead OF Markham,
while tile Democratic Assembly candi-
dates ran IL 95 votes behind Pond. In San
Francisco the vote for the Assembly stood; Re
publican 3o,273, Democratic %, 81, showing an
aegiega Republican majority Of 6462. This
state Of facts will enable every person to draw a
Conclusion to suit himself. But the question is:
Will the Legislature pass the ballot reform law /?
Our opinion is that the Legislature will
pass ballot reform" bill. but we are
aware that there will be opposition to it, for
the parties who can control nominating con-
yentops by the use Of money do not want
such law, for their opportunities to place
in office bad men are much greater under
present conditions than they would be if
nominating conventions could not be reached
III the way suggested. The public may be
at a loss to explain why so many more votes
were cast in favor Of the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature than for the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor and other State
officers. The anomaly may be understood
when it is realized that United States Sem
ator is to be elected by the Legislature which
is soon to assemble at Sacramento, and that
some OF the men nominated were selected for
the express purpose of securing Demo-
cratic votes in San Francisco. 1t would
puzzle an outsider to determine whether
some of the men selected to vote for an
United States Senator were Republicans or
Democrats. They could probably be in
duced TO vote either way in case of an
emergency

WINDOWS PLAN.

The substance Of the so-called Window
plan 10 increase the volume of the currency
is the exchange OF outstanding bonds of the
United States for thifty-year bond bear
ing interest at the rate of per cent per
annum. The new issue will, at all times, be
convertible at the will of the holder into
currency, and the currency will also be con-
vertible into bonds on demand. The Secre-
tary says this plan would not increase the
public debt, because for every new per
cent bond issued an outstanding or Az
bond would be retired. He says also that
this plan would transfer the power to ex-
pand ard contract the currency from the
banks to the people. Under the present
system any United States bank may bring
bonds to the Government without limit and
obtain currency to be loaned to the public,
the Government paying them interest ON the
bonds and the people paying them interest
on their money. Under the plan suggested
any individual may deposit a per cent
bend and obtain for it the full face value in
currency. The Government, of course, pays
no interest ON bonds while in the Treasury
The currency thus issued would be as sound
as the issue of additional bank notes, as both
rest upon the same secuTity-United States
bonds.
The convenience of this plan of an inter
convertible bond is apparent The objection
to it is that it postpones for about twenty
years the existence Of the United States
public debt. With interest at per cent
year the burden of debt would be COM
paraliVely light, but it would be long
step toward a permanent debt. To the ex-
tent of the proposed issue, which is $780,
100000. it would supply additional currency
at periods wien greater volume of currency
is needed to carry on the business of the
country. 1t is rot likely that such plan as
this will be adopted

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

Commenting upon Senator Sherman's pro-
posed amendment to the Mckinley Tariff Act
providing that the conditions of existing
tire aties shall be respected, THE CALL in
ferred that one purpose of the amendment
might be to indemnify the islands in some
way for the loss they sustain through the
admission of sugar from all countries free of
duty. While this loss amounts to several
millions annually, the Government of the
islands does not seek any indemnity. That
Gov eminent recognizes the right of the Gov
rnment of the United States TO change her
tariff laws at pleasure, subject only TO the
condition that existing treaty rights shall be
respected under new laws. Minister Carter,
who has recently arrived from Washington,
is authority for the statement that Sher-
mans amendment does not refer in any way
to sugar or sugar duties. Under the treaty
other island products than sugar are adj
mitted free into the United States, and GER
tain products of the States are admitted free
into the islands. Excepting sugar the
products of the States admitted free into the
Islands are greater in value than the
products of the islands admitted free into
the States. The object of Mr.. Sherman is
to except the trade between the States and
the islands from the operations of the Nc
Kiney act in all respects where the condi-
tons Of the treaty apply.

BEHRIsG SEA DIPLOMACY.

Mr.. Blaine is represented as having taken
a position in reference 10 the Behring Sea
controversy suggested, if not dictated. by his
political aspirations. 1t is intimated that
the British proposition to submit the ques-
ton to arbitration was rejected with pur-
pose to keep the controversy open during
the next Presidential campaign. 1t is per-
hapS unfortunate for the American side of
the case that the American right to protect
the seals depends primarily on international
law in regard to what constitutes closed
sea. If BehriDg Sea meets the requirements
OF International law i'll this respect there
would be no question of the American right
to protect the seals. The British Minister
proposes to leave the closed sea part of the
question to arbitration. MIR. Blaine, without
admitting that the decision of arbitration
would be against the closed sea proposition,
dee iues to rest the case on the question
whether Behring Sea is Il closed sea or not.
Another British plan was TO arbitrate the ne
ceSsity of any measure to protect the seals. To
this Mr.. Blaine replies that such necessity
has been admitted, and he does not propose
to go over it again. But Mr.. Is lame is will
ing to arbitrate on the proposition that
Great Britain is bound by the comfy of
nations to prevent the vessels of any of her
provinces from continuing depredations
that have, as he claims, partially destroyed
the seal-hunting Industry. 4 great deal of
stress has been laid by Washington CORE
spondents on the fact that one or two treas
ury reports have asserted the opinion that
the seals were thriving under depredations
that have been going on. While the British
Minister would naturally make use Of such
reports, they are not final nor binding on
either party. The treasury reports may
have been In error. Later and more extern
sive examinations as to the condition of the
seals at present as compared with their con-
dition some years ago may show that Lord
Salisbury was right in 1888 when he ad-
mitted the necessity Of some measure to pro-
tect the seals. If the question is submitted
10 arbitration on the point Mr.. Blaine in
dicates as acceptable, Great Britain's own
protection over her pearl fisheries will be
considered. The International law under
which Great Britain has protected pearl
grounds that were not in a closed sea will be
cited as n nrenpiput

THE LAMP OF EXPERIENCES.

Mr. Edward Atkinson, one of the few
writers on economic subjects who admits
that he does not know everything, reviews
the industrial conditions of the day and ar
rives at the conclusion that they should
assure general progress and prosperity.
And yet, says Mr.. Atkinson. these conditions
do not produce these natural results. What
is the matter? 1t is in not answering his
own question that we find evidence that Mr.
Atkinson is writer on economic subjects
who admits that lie dos not know every.
thing. He does not know why these con-
ditions which ought to produce good results
do produce bad results. He seeks refuge in
the somewhat fragile assumption that good
results are not produced because of an
unreasonable lack of confidence He adj
mlts that money is scarce, but does not like
to admit that it is scarce because there is
not enough of it. He prefers to assume
that there would be enough if those who
control it would let il go freely into the chan
nels of trade. 1t does not seem 10 have oc-
CURED to Mr.. Atkinson that if there was
more money in proportion to the currency
there would be more confidence. When
Sherman was Secretary of the Treasury he
thought condition essential to the resump-
tion OF specie payments was a gold store of
S10o0Oo,00o, little less than one dollar for
three of the notes to be redeemed. Other
finapciers thought that a smaller reserve
fund would do, but Sherman insisted in hay-
ing one dollar in coin for three in currency.
We all know that when the date of resump-
ton came no one wanted their greenbacks
redeemed. Why? Because the coin was in
the Treasury to redeem them with Let us
apply the lesson to present conditions. Give
us more money in proportion to currency
and there will be less demand for money.

AN IDEAL NEWSPAPER.

We copy the following paragraphs from
the New York Commercial Advertiser of n
recent date:
Senator Quay has introduced bill providing
for tie publication of a new Government paper
to lie called the Wage Worker" and To be
edited by people who Will work without wages.
Its object will be TO furnish the American peo-
ple Tree Of expense with journal advocating the
principles OF universal cooperation at cost by
= the citizens of this republic" These principles,
il is claimed, cannot obtain fair hearing in
Journals conducted by private corporations for
private profits. a paper "by the people. for the
people, must be supported by The public, must
accept no advertisements, and must have no
professional contributors.
The same paper goes on to say:
Those who are not socialists have favored the
idea Of a subsidized press. The greatest man Of
this century, who was the very opposite to a
socialist, favored IL. Napoleon Bonaparte, while
al OsieIOde in 1907, wrote 10 his Minister OF the
Interior that IAN effective MODE OF encouraging
literature would be 10 establish journal with an
enlightened criticism. free from the coarse bru-
tally which charaeterizes existing newspapers"
II Is much more likely that Senator Quay would
accept Napoleon as his model than Lasselle
Quay has had his Waterloo no less than Napo-
leon. Why should he not, Ike him. recommend
a subsidized journal?
Senator Quay is probably willing to pay
out of his own funds the men lie proposes
to have work without wages" There are
al this time probably a good many editors
in the United States who ''work without
wages" so far as those who subscribe for
the journals which they control are con-
cerned. 1t is suggested by Senator Quay
that fair hearing cannot be had in jour
mails conducted by private corporations for
private profit" II Senator Quay had said
that fair bearing could not be had in jour
nails owned and run by corporations, which
were willing to sink large amounts of money
on such papers, provided they could control
the legislation of the country in their inter-
ests, he would have uttered a truth 1t is
quite the fashion for corporations to own
newspapers, and to use them for their own
benefit. THE CALL could point out some
OF that very class of newspapers near home
which strive in every possible way to manu-
facture public opinion. 1t could also add
with perfect truthfulness that much of the
corruptness of politics in this State is due to
just such management.

SITTING BULL.

1t is not certain yet that the Government
has got rid Of Sitting Bull. II is one thing
TO kill an Indian and another TO make him
stay dead Sitting Bulls body is under
ground, but his spirit is said to be marching
on. Indians who were not his followers be-
lieve they have seen his spirit pointing the
way 10 the Bad Lands and have accepted the
apparition as proof that Sitting Bull was
the promised Messiah. A dispatch from
Minneapolis says that if the story is correct
it is serious affair. 1t is the more serious
from the fact that its potency does not de-
pend III on any real apparitions. If The In
dams think they have seen it, the effect will
be the same as if they had seen it. No one
can prove they have not seen it. If test
case should be arranged, and the alleged
apparition should fail to make second APP
pearance, it is probable the faith of Sitting
Bulls followers would not be shaken. They
would probably say, If they condescended to
make any explanation, that the conditions
were not favorable TO second appearance.
