ARBOR DAY.

Forty States and Territories Of the Union
now celebrate Ar5or day. In some it is
observed in accordance with legislative
act. in others on recommendation Of State
Agricultural and Horticultural societies,
the State Grange. State School Supern-
teDdent, special proclamation of the Gov
ernor, or all com bined. California Is one
of the nine rem aiming States and Terrific
ries which do not celebrate the holiday.
We tried 1t for while few years ago,
and planted some trees on Goat Island,
but those of them which were not burnt
have since presumably been blown out of
the ground or died natural and lingering
death.
Any one who takes a summer drive over
California roads, from Slskiyou to San
Diego. will be convinced that we need an
Arbor day very much. The sun is bright
and hot and the roads stretch out, mile
after mile, in cherries streaks of dust,
without a tree TO afford shelter to man,
beast or bird. Down In the river bottoms
there is natural growth, but high roads
do not run there to any great extent.
About every day is good time for Arbor
day in California. 1t is late ia the season
to agitate any formal observance of such a
holiday this year. but 1t is not too late for
hundreds of persons all over the State 10
plant tree by the wayside on that day.
ana to get their nsighbors and their boys
and girls to agree to have an Arbor day
next year. All the young folks would be
in for it. whoever plants tree plants a
hope" He also plants fruition for bis
own age and the next generation. He
does something TO make life more agreea-
bic, and to that extent he makes the world
better. The unprotected cabin and the
treeless country road should be thing OF
the past in California.

BLIND GUIDES.

The Iree-srade New York Herald admits
that "in many instances Democratic ma
jorities OF year ago have been turned into
Republican majorities. and even Demo
cratic strongholds have been carried by
the Republicans" These admissions are
strictly In accord with known facts. The
Herald generally prints the news without
regard to the effect upon parties. but when
it undertakes to deal with causes 1t is less
reliable. For exam,le, 1t adds:
This marked and general change In public
feeling can be accounted for In but enc way.
1t is due TO the disappointment and disgust of
the people over Democratic delay IN the matter
OF tariff revision and Democratic menace In
matter OF an income tax.
The marked and general change in pub
lie feeling can perhaps be accounted for
10 but one way, but not in the way the
Herald points out. 1t is not reasonable to
suppose that the people would turn against
policy they want to zee adopted simply
because there has been delay In adopting
that policy. Such action would be absurd
Ii the Wilson tariff bill is beaten in the Sen
ate it will be because several Democratic
Senators have become convinced that the
people do not want an approach to free
trade so much as they thought they did in
1892 foretaste of the result which pro-
tectionists predicted would follow from a
revision of the tariff in the direction of
free trade has caused radical change in
public opinion. The persistency with
which a certain class Of Democratic apers
assert shat the Democratic revolt is caused
by the delay 10 tariff revision is an ex-
hibtion OF pluck rather than intelligence
A wise man knows when he is whipped.

CHINESE IN CANADA.

Tie Trade and Labor Congress of Can
ada have presented to the Dominion Gov
ernment list of grievances, of which the
most important is the immigration of
Chinese lsborers. Sir John Thorn uson
said in reply that the Chinese were a
menace to the best interests OF the Domin-
ion, but reminded the labor delegation
that the problem was a difficult one to
deal with. Excluding Immigrants from
any country touches upon policies with
which the Imperial Government claims
the right to the last word. But while the
Canadian Minister could not promise re-
lief, he attempted to relieve the question
of its tension by he assurance that immi-
grafton from China is decreasing. We

sHADoWiNG PUBLIC MEN.

Societies have been formed in London
and Washington to keep an eye on the
private goings and comings of public
men. The impression prevails that these
goings and comings have been somewhat
too free and easy. There is an identity of
complaint and of purpose in the two
societies. The alarming intimation is
thrown out that prominent society leaders
in each city propose TO establish a new
code of morals for men, one conforming
more closely 10 the standard women are
required to live up to. An event that
would shake society in each city to its
foundation would be the closing of the
doors of society leaders to rich and influ-
entail men whose transgressions have
become known through the surveillance
of these new organizations.

ELLERT AND SOUIRES.
The Mayor Selects Newspaper Man
as a Partner.

as Partner.
On May /. In the Mills building the sign
of new legal firm Will be hung out. and it
will read "Ellert g. Squires." The gold
letters will not differ from that of other
forensic co-partnerships, but the person.
alities Of the men they stand for will be
felt In San Francisco. Those letters will
stand for careers.
The first member Of the firm, Mayor Ell
lert, after passing severe and searching
examination before the Supreme Court, an
Dounced his intention of opening law
Office. His admittance to the bar was
surprise in most quarters. Those, how
ever, who carefully read the official docu.
ments prepared by the Mayor could not
but observe the method and dexterity with
which they were drawn, nor fall to see
that they displayed the grasp of the legal
mind dealing with the principle OF things.
This was the result of a long private study
of the law, which eliminated 10 the pas
sage OF his examination before the Su-
preme Court. When that took place he
sold cut his drugstore and announced that
he would shortly open law office.
1t would be supposed that Mayor El'ert
would select as law partner some old,
white-haiIed member of the bar or relict
OF the bench of bygone years. He is too
bold and vigorous q character for that lie
selected as his partner George d. Squires,
who was only admitted to the bar on last
Saturday. Mr.. SQhires, still young man,
is post graduate of journalism. In that
profession there was Qnr he has joined
other ranks now no more able. honest or
esteemed member. There Is no portion OF
the field of the newspaper man that has
not been covered bv Mr.. SQuires. As the
Washington correspondent of the Bulletin
years ago be made an envlabe and lasting
reputation. AS representative OF the same
paper at the State Legislature his work
became model tor others. As an editorial
writer his pen has been as facile and his
style as terse and vigorous as when expos
Dg the corruption or den0uDciDg the
sbams of politicians and legislators.
Throughout all his work Mr.. Squires had
his eyes set on tie goal of the aw, but
opportunity was lacking TO enable him to
pursue his favoTite study. His patient
waiting and frugslity at last enabled him
10 give the rein to the bent Of his ambition.
He had saved the means to enable him TO
.tudy. and at last be found himself
member of the bar. With his knowledge
of the world, his varied newspaper ex-
perience. his comprehension of men and
manners, together with his legal equip
ment, he presents strong combination OF
the qualities that lead to success.
Mayor Eilert is to be coDgra ulated on
his selection of law partner, and there is
no member of the newspaper world who
does n wish the partnership all the sue
cess il deserves.

A STEP BACKWARD

The National Republican Committee
have under con .dsration a proposition to
change the basis of representation with a
view to an increase in the power of States
likely to cast Republican electoral votes.
This change is advocated on the ground
that the States which elect a candidate
should have a power In the vention
somewhat in proportion to their power at
the polls. The proposition is taking one
at first glance. but objections occur upon
second thoughts. 1t may be urged that a
national party should not abandon any
portion of the Union. Its selection of
candidates should be made by all sections
in proportion to population with the res
ervRtion of delegates -at-large, which rep
resent States rather than people.
Upon the present basis OF representa-
ton in both the Republican and Demo-
cratic national conventions two delegates
are allowed for each Congressional dis
trict The committee proposes to allow
but one for each district and an additional
delegate for each 1000 Republican votes
cast or fraction thereof greater than $500
in any Congressional district at the Fed
eral election Of 1892. This change will re-
the next Republican convention and in
crease those of New England, the Western
and the Middle States. The Pacific Coast
States would retain about their present
strength in a body the total number OF
which would he materially increased. The
idea of the ommittee is to throw the
power to nominate in the fifteen OF
sixteen States which are reasonably
sure to elect Republican elect ors,
But so far from there being a
recognition OF the right of minorities TO
represent tation, IL deprives minoritlss OF a
portion of the rights now exercised. The
South has now a minority voice in the
Republican national convention and If
this plan should be adopted that voice
would be partially stfed. Under these
conditions the South would be apt to con-
clude that it had no particular business in
the Republican convention. The present
is not the time to create such a feeling in
the South. Several of these States are
Republican on other than the race issue,
and are open to the conviction that voting
the Republican national ticket does not
imperl white supremacy. The policy
of the Republican party should be to
apply its principles and adapt its policies
to all the States in the Union. The pro-
tective policy is not sectional, it is as wise
for the West as for thr East, for the South
as for the North. Broadly viewed, there
is 10 section on the money question. The
creditor States will soon find that in i'm
pairing the ability of debtor States to
meet obligations they are engaged in inan-
cial suicide. The race problem may be
left for the South to deal with. The States
in which the colored race predominaie are
the most deeply interested in q peaceful
adjustment. The National Republican
Committee now seems 10 be contemplating
step backward. II is considering the
propriety of Withdrawing its influence
within sectional lines precisely at the time
when every State in the Union is open TO
conviction of the truths of the principles
