NEWS FROM ROME.

The news comes from Rome that the
United States Government has given the
Italian Government a semi-official promise
10 so modify the American Constitution as
TO insure the most absolute protection to
foreigners. Upon this promise, 1t is said,
the Italian Government intimates its willing
ness to regard the New Orleans dispute as
closed. There are two reasons why this
piece of news cannot be true First, the
Administration has no power to modify the
Constitution. No amendment submitted
would become a part of the Constitution
until ratified by tie Legislatures of three
fourths Of the States. Second. there is no
burning desire in this country to give
foreigners more rights than citizens possess.
The courts that are good enough for Ameri-
cans should be good enough for foreigners.
The remote possibility that failure of
justice might result from prejudices can be
provided against without amendment to the
Constitution. The London paper which re-
ceiyed the news from Rome possibly wished
to give some basis for the intimation in
another paper that the American Govern
ment knows how to "climb DOWN"

part of the board of selfishness and personal
self seeking which should serve as warn
ing not TO entrust it with unnecessary
power. A corrupt man could make MILL
ion out of the office. Exhibitors in some
cases would pay handsomely for space, and
in many more cases would pay large sums
for medals. The Board Of Control should
have been composed of men of the highest
character, but it is not. Whether NJ. III. de
Young is better OF worse than the average
we do not know, but we certainly hope the
average is not below his standard. Presi-
dent Baker of tho Chicago Directory WAS
quite right in assuming that the work OF Sc
Letting the exhibits would naturally be left
to the State Commissions. The idea of
leaving the work to the National Commits
sion. which acts through the seven men
composing the Board of Control. is absurd.
Commissioner de Young has frequently
assured the portion Of the public he reaches
through his personal organ that The CALL
is not friendly to the fair. This means
simply in De 1oung's mind that THE CALL
does not regard De Young as fit person to
exercise the power that under the natural
plan, would devolve upon a member of the
Board OF Control. 1t is because we want
the fair to succeed that we accept plan
which would devolve upon state Commits
Sions some of the responsibilities that the
Board of Control has claimed as its prerog
ntiya

THE WORK AT CHICAGO,

a contemporary which assumes to be the
great and only dissemination of Worlds Fair
ideas is aggrieved because THE CALL does
not think the National Commission can make
so ludlc0us selection OF State exhibits as
each State Commissioner can for the State
he directly represents 1t might perhaps
be considered personal il The CALI. should
Intimate that the fact that the proprietor of
the paper referred 10 is member of the Ma
tional Commission and of the Board OF Con-
troll had something to do with this opinion
The CALL said few days since that the
National Commission would probably make
light to retain power which it clearly
cannot exercise inteigently, and the CON-
mission, or at least a member Of 1t, is al
ready making the fight. 1t is true. as our
contemporary says, that the work Of select
Ing exhibits must be vested in some recog-
nized authority. The several State Boards
cannot be that authority for manifest rea-
sons. But the several State Boards can Sc
lect from the mass of articles submitted.
each board acting for its own State, such
as it deems most deserving. The chiefs of
the several departments can receive these
exhibits at the hands of the several State
Commissions. reject the least worthy, ac-
cording to the limitations of space, class
lily those accepted and put them in place.
VI course this plan would cut the
National Commission off from direct
communication with the exhibitors from
the several States. While the chiefs Of
departments, acting under the direction of
the National Commission. may have power
to reject exhibits submitted by the State
Commissions when the offering is in excess
OF the space, 1t should not have power to
90 behind the State Commissions and
accept articles the State Commissions
have rejected. The reason for this rule is
obvious The Board of Control is not com
posed of men above the influences OF tempta-
tons tSwhich mankind frequently succumb

FUTURE MARKET METHODS.

The Sonoma County apple-growers have
a grievance which the Santa Rosa Democrat
IS trying to help them to adjust
The greater proportion of the apples
grown and prepared by evaporation for
market in this State come from Sonoma
County, where they form a general and
what should be a profitable crop Prices
this year have ranged from to cents a
pound, less freight and commission, while
prices quoted as being received by middle
men are and 10 cents a pound.
1t is this high commission that is causing
the grower to open his eyes. The cost of
production, of harvesting. evaporating,
| hauling aud shipping leaves him an exceed
| ingly narrow margin of profit for his labor,
and he wonders why this must be SO.
| The Democrat suggests that it would
| seem possible for the growers TO combine
| and establish an agency of their own for
selling their crop.
To this suggestion THE CALL would say
that it not only seems but is erfectly posi-
bic aud feasible for the SOnOma County
growers to do this, not with apples alone
but with all their other orchard products as
well. A mum Der of fruit-growers of Niles,
in Alameda County. have associated them
selves this year and sent, not long since,
Il Train OF Twelve c2I-INaIS OIL uTtel trult
across the continent in charge of one Of
theic number, consigned to their agents in
Chicago. Since then the orchardists around
Vacaville, in Solano County, have done the
same thing on even larger scale.
We believe that the next two or three
years will see the fruit-shipping business of
| this State conducted on an altogether differ
ent system from the present. 1t will have to
| be, if California as 4 rult-producing country
is 10 maintain the eminent position which
| she has but Just assumed. Her success has
! aroused the envy and melted the emulation
! Of other nations. Her products have all
| along had to compete with those of Turkey,
| France and Spain, and these countries are
| now becoming fully alive to the fact that
| these products are crowding theirs very
| closely in the Eastern market, to which they
| have so long and so proftaby catered, and
| they are redoubling their efforts to regain
| control of this market. Australia, too, Is
| preparing to enter the field against Calfor-
| mia, and with her products to compete with
| US in our own market
Under the wise protective system of this
| country the California fruit-grower has thus
| far been able to hold his own, but the addi-
| tional sharp competition with which this
| State is now threatened warns US that not
| only must special attention be paid to main
| tanning q high standard of excellence for
| our products, but such market c0mmunica-
| tons must be established as will enable the
| grower to realize as fully as possible from
| his labors Not only must transportation
| facilities that shall not be too great a tax on
| production be secured, but much rests with
| the growers, who should take steps TO Sc
cure among themselves drying and canning
establishments, shipping agencies and every
other adjunct to the profitable handling and
| marketing of their products.

GREAT MINDS IN ONE GROOVE,

remarkable instance of the tendency of
great minds to run in one groove has re-
Gently been given. Some days ago 1t was
announced that the Park Commissioners
had ordered number of "tags" made to
represent 21a cents, each to be good for one
ride on the merry-Ro- round. Almost at the
same time Commissioner de Young con-
ceived the idea of having new coin made
representing the value of so cents for the
use OF tie larger children who will want to
roe on the merry-go-round at Chicago.
commissioner de Young's personal organ
assures the public that the idea originated
with him. 1t speaks of the idea as a bomb
which De Young exploded In one of tina
sessions OF the commission of which he is
member. The curious thing in the case Is
that De foung's idea anticipated its Chi
cago explosion in the form of a coin mr.
medal is-ued in honor Of the Queen Jubilee
But we trust that no effort will be made to
deprive Commissioner de Young of what
ever credit attaches to originality in the sug-
gestiOu.

New York, as the telegram announced, and
