HAMILTON FISH.

The death Of Hamilton Fish at the ad-
vanced age of Sc years serves to remind
the rising generation that the statesmen
OF the war period have nearly all passed
away. There are a few survivors of that
galaxy of statesmen in the Senate, but the
men who are most largely occupying pub
lie attention havs come upon the stage
since the war closed. When General
Grant became President he invited MIR.
Fish 20 become the head of his Cabinet.
General Grant had not been trained to the
duties of the office that had been thrust
upon him, and he naturally felt the want
Of an experienced adviser. There were
complicated foreign questions pending.
and though Grant was a soldier he be-
lIeved that most questions that arise be-
tween nations may be settled without
bloodshed. The claims against Great
Britain arising from the depredations of
the Alabama on American commerce were
the cause Of considerable anxiety. The
administration cared more to establish the
precedent that a neutral nation could be
held responsible for any lack of precaution
to prevent war vessels IRON being con-
structed and fitted out within its jurisdic-
tion TO prey upon the commerce of
1rien0ly country than for any amount of
money that might be awarded as indem-
nifty for such lack of precaution. This
principle was established by the Geneva
arbitration. which was planned and car
ried to successful conclusion by Mr..
Fish. For once, at least. the American
representatives prevailed over their Euro
pean adversaries. 1t has since been said
that England secretly desired to establish
the principle the Americans contended
for. but her representa tatives fought against
it at the conference. There were other
vexed questions arising from the war
which the masterly diplomacy Of Hamil-
lton Fish brought to an honorable settle
ment. 1t is probable that history will
place Hamilton Fish among the first, IL
not the first, in the list of American for
eign Ministers. 1t may be held that even
the great Webster. invincible as he was In
argument was not as fertile in resources
as the man who has lust passed away.

KEEP THE MAIN POINT IN VIEW.

majority of the Oakland Council have
weakened at wrong time. The deadhead
travel which the Southern Pacific repre-
sents as so detrimental to its service il
not the real point 10 be kept in view. The
real point is the possession of the Oakland
water front. The Cour Gil has authorized
a suit for its recovery. A decision by the
Supreme Court of the United States in a.
similar case renders ultimate success
almost certain. But the Southern Pacific
is no mean opponent in a local court If it
has not held mortgage on some of the
Judges the people have placed in power.
the Judges have done great injustice to
themselves. Next in the list of things to
be avoided to evil itself is the appear
ance of evil. Oakland now needs strong
Council Public opinion is all right. From
being the most docile community in the
State 1t has become the most aggressive.
1t perceiyes, perhaps dimly as yet, the in
estimable advantages of holding its water
front for public uses. How is this water
front to be gained? Not by listening to
Southern Pacific promises. A CORPORATION
which obtains a franchise of great value
on clearly stipulated conditions and then
tries to evade compliance with the condi-
tions should be reminded that little prac-
tice is more reassuriDg than much preach

to do what Mr.. Reed did in his capacity of
Speaker, but this device is but thnly
disguised subterfuge. The association of
two Democrats with Crisp under the desig-
nation OF committee of rules is more
clumsy but not less arbitrary exercise of
power than was found necessary by the So
called Reed Congress. AS Mr.. Reed said
In the debate on the late retreat of the Com
mlttee on Rules. the Speaker can do
nothing the House did not sanction. 1t
was the majority behind Reed that gave
him power. So with the Committee on
Rules. 1t gets its power from the party
majority. In either case the personal
representative of the majority may be
called down when in the opinion of the
N na]ority he makes bad use of the power
entrusted to him. MinOrities always like
TO hllbuster; majorities try to prevent fill
clustering. As rule nothing Is gained
by efforts to prevent q majority from en-
forcing its will That is what it is in
power for. A majority that pleads in ex-
cuse OF It's failure TO carry out its prin-
ciples factious opposition on the part of
the minority is pretty sure to be deprived
OF power it did not know how to use.

IN THE HOP FIELDS.

The Santa Rosa Democrat says that in
former years the picEers in the hop fields
have numbered ten Chinese to one white
man. Now it is ten white men to one Chi
nese. Some years ago merchants assumed
that the employment Of Chinese only af-
feeted the white laborers; now they real
ize that, while the laborers may be the
most directly interested. merchants and
mechanics depend upon the employment
OF whites for their trade. The bulk of the
money the Chinese earn goes to China.
while almost every dollar paid to white
workers Is expended in the community.
There is another fact to be considered.
The employment of Chinese in the hop
fields has kept white boys and girls from
seeking that kind of employment.

CHICAGO AWARDS.

1t is evident that the wine producers of
California have little onfdeuce In Chi
cago methods of determining the relative
merits OF wine. A Judgment of experts
would be invaluable. but Judgment based
upon commercial considerations carries
little or no weight. The California ex-
hibitOrs at Chicago have arranged TO get
an unofficial award that will be an un-
biased expression of opinion Oh the part
OF experts from the different nations.
California will not be represented on this
jury. There are, doubtless. wine experts
in the State. but il is deem ed better not to
owe any verdict that may be obtained to
State pride o- State interest. What Cali
fcrnia wine producers want is that the
world should be informed as to the rela-
tive merits OF California and European
wines.

BETTER TIMES.

From all parts of the country assurances
come that the industrial depression is fast
passing away. The suspended banks are
opening their doors, and, what is still bet
ter, manufacturing establishments are
about 10 resume Work. 1t becomes evident
that the scare was largely artificial There
was wild cry of wolf! Wolff" in con-
junction with positive Instructions as to
the means to keep the coming animal from
doing much harm. The ilver-purchasing
clause in the silver act was the wolf in
the case, and repeal was the remedy sug-
gested. 1t is impossible, however, to esti-
mate the effect of business alarm. The
wolf cry was paid more attention to than
the administration anticipated, and as a
consequence it has been hushed up some
what in advance of an application of the
proposed remedy. Another consideration
tends to a renewal of public confidence.
1t is now almost certain that the tariff
plank in the Chicago platform will not be
enacted into law. There will be tariff re-
vision, but the necessities of the Govern

ductiou Of duties on manufactured goods
without reimposiUion of duties on tea,

Democratic paper in The country that ad-
vises the REIN position of duties on these
three articles. It is realized that the at
tempt will be fatal to the administration.
Falling wages and rising prices for the
necessaries of life will turn from the party
responsible for such changes millions of
votes. The great manufacturers, there
fore, feel that they are comparatively safe.

THE AMERICA CUP.

The Vigilant is now the selected yacht
to uphold the stars and stripes in the con-
test with the Valkyrie for the America
cup. She Is clearly the best of the four
craft specially constructed for this race,
and the probability is she will win. But
there is no need to be too sure. The
Valkyrie is a much finer yacht than has
ever before been sent to American waters
by English owners. Perhaps she is in
ferior TO the Britannia, which has again
defeated the Navahoe. but that yacht is
not in the challenge.

CHANGED THEIR MINDS.

A number of Chinese residents oil Los
Angeles have forwarded petition to
Washington asking Cong ess to give them
another chance to register. They say that
they were led to believe that the Geary
act was violation of the treaty between
China and the United States, but admit
that the decision of the Supreme Court
settles that question. If Congress will
give them another chance they will will
ingly comply with all the requirements of
law. 1t is not improbable that Congress
