THE APPOINTMENT OF GENERAL
CHAPMAN.

The Worlds Fair Directory has con-
firmed General N. P. Chapman as Chief
Horticultural Officer for the exposition.
We congratulate the people of California
upon this excellent choice. The RECORD
UNION has constantly maintained that,
by all the claims of right and justice, the
appointment belonged to California, and
that we were not in danger Of losing it, as
was claimed, if given nominee was not
confirmed. California has many men
eminently qualified for the position, and
our only contention has been that who
ever was chosen should be thoroughly
representative, by experience, learning
and character, of the horticultural inter
ests of the State and country.
General Chapman is a citizen who
has the entire confidence of the peo-
pie. He is of ripe judgment, of judicial
balance, of high character and broad
knowledge of the horticultural interests
Of the nation. His administrative ability
is unquestioned, and his fairness and
sense of justice are admitted on all sides.
While the compliment to California
that resides in this appointment is due,
he will, we believe, be found precisely
the man to stand for the fruit interests of
the whole nation. By reason of his ap-
pointment California will not have undue
advantage or receive special favors. She
does not want them. She will exhibit
upon merit and its deserving, but she
does want the headship because she
is pre-eminently the fruit producing sec
ton of the United States We entertain
no doubt whatever but that the Board of
Control will confirm the selection of
General Chapman and thus emphasize
the eminent fitness of the appointee and
the justice of giving the Office to Califor-

Now THAT Sir John Macdonald has
gone, the problems of political life in
Canadian territory will intensity. While
he lived, the statesman held to him a
faithful, large following, which will now
be liable to disintegration. There were
thousands Of that following accepting
Macdonald's judgment out of hand, and
adhering to the positions he took with
out serious thinking. Not that they are
not intelligent upon Canadian politics,
but their faith in Macdonald was so i'm
plicit that it saved them a great deal of
thinking. They were content, in other
words, to follow the personal lead of a
master hand. Whether the French and
British Canadians can be held together as
is the question. That the Dominion, of
which he was the father, will fall apart,
is not a present question, but as to who
shall shape its policy is vital one. The
Conservatives under Macdonald only
barely controlled in Parliament. With
his death, the Liberals will make a more
vigorous attack than any projected in the
past, and will probably control in Parlia-
ment. They made distinct gains in the
last election and manifested more ag-
gressive vitality than previously. They
have their political enemies at the disad-
vantage that absence of a leader means.
They will now renew the argument that
under the Government policy commerce
has not broadened as was promised, and
trade relations with the United States are
not in any better condition. The out-go
of Canadians to the United States con-
tinues, and all the Conservative party has
done to check it has failed. The magic of
Macdonald's call to Canadians to prove
true to the country, as against annex
ationists and divisionists, will not now
be heard, and there is no one Immediately
at hand to take it up effectively. OF
| course his place will be filled, but, while
the leader is developing, the opposition
| viii concentrate its powers and probably
| achieve signal victories. The result will
be to make relations between the United
States and the Canadas closer, and to give
the friends of commercial union great
| comfort and aid, while annexationists
will experience encouragement also
though we do not anticipate that annex
alton, in fact, will be realized, as we sim
cerely hope it will not. If Canada "comes
| knocking at the door," our response
should be that our territorial area is
large enough and our population and po-
litical elements sufficiently varied.

IT is understood that the citizens en-
gagged in the liquor traffic are organizing
to resist increase of the license rate. In
this we think they are wrong, and that
cooler judgment will so convince them.
No one desires any injustice to be done to
them, but everyone ought to desire that
a fair rate be established. Since the city
fee is but S. month, and hence out of
all proportion to license rates for other
business, the dealers ought to be found
favoring such an adjustment as will make
their license fairly proportionate to the
fees paid by others instead of being, as it
is, the lowest rate established in any city
in the United States, with q single excep-
ton. This is not matter of mere senti-
ment, but one of common justice and
