capable of feeling them and so able
to speak with authority in regard to
them, may be considered by us with a
fresh pride at this season when we are busy
with the preparations for the celebration
OF the birthday of the Republic and of the
liberty of the people. IT is the voice Of
genius that gives our land this praise. 1t
is the assurance that the highest natures
feel the true grandeur of our own country
IN the highest degree and are most af-
fected by 1T in their feelings, thoughts and
emotions.
If foreigner can feel this influence in
the atmosphere of America, surely one
who is native-born should feel it in a
greater degree. We should moreover take
pride in manifesting it on the National
birthday that it may increase in strength
through the display of popular enthusiasm.
All citizens should take part in such cele-
brations. All should contribute something
to them. Civic patriotism should lead the
people of each community to vie with
others in the e1altation of National
patriotism, and now that the time for the
next celebration is so near at hand it would
be well for our people not only to think
this but to act upon it.

A PECULIAR DEPARTURE,

1t had always been understood that the
Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Company were operating
under an agreement by which neither
should build into the territory of the other.
This has explained why the Santa Fe has
never built into San Francisco nor the
Southern Pacific into the Riverside and
San Diego sections. But the Southern Pa
cific is now building from Pasadena into
Riverside and of course becomes rival of
the Santa Fe.
This compact has very seriously retarded
the development of the State and has
served particularly to keep the splendid
region about San Diego from having any
opportunity to display its resources.
Although the Southern Pacific has ex-
pended enormous sums OF money in adj
vertising California and in inducing settle
ment by that means, it has been extremely
conservative in attempts to secure the
same end by making such transportation
rates as would encourage settlement and
development. Possibly the enormous load
of debt which it carries has made it neces-
sary to charge rates incompatible with
reasonable expectations of settlement. In
some cases IL has built feeders in advance
OF settlement, but such enterprise has been
generally because of its ownership of land
which the presence Of a railroad would
bring into the market
1t has never owned any land about Riv-
erside and San Diego, and has never calcu-
lated the advantages which it might secure
by running road to parallel the Santa Fe.
AT San Diego the feeling against the South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe is very bitter;
against the former because of its compact
with the Santa Fe, and against the latter
because it has violated the pledges given
in exchange for the princely donations
which the people made for its benefit.
Any new company which should now

THE KENTUCKY DODGE.

The Kentucky Democrats have arranged
compromise on the financial question by
giving the platform to the gold-standard
Cleveland wing of the party and the candi-
date for Governor to the free-siIver wing.
This curious species of compromise, which
does not split the difference but COM
pounds it, may possibly serve to save the
party in this juncture, for in a strictly
State campaign National issues may be
eyaded, but it will be of no help to the
party later on. So far as preparation for
the National contest is concerned, Ken
lucky Democracy is as divided as ever, and
has all its trouble before it.
While the evasion may serve the pur-
pose of the local election, it will neverthe-
less present a curious spectacle to the coun-
try during the canvass. The gold platform
is expected to be strong enough to sustain
silver candidate, and the candidate is
expected to be able to maintain the plat
form. Of course, neither one will be re-
quired to actually support the other. AS
the candidate will be careful neither to
stand on the platform nor to sit on it,
none of the planks will take tumble with
him, and consequently he will never be
compelled to take any of them in hand
and bolster it up.
1t is scarcely necessary to say this COM
bination of gold plank and silver stick
will be called bimetallism. If there is any
form, phase, philosophy, folly or frenzy of
political finance in these days that is not
called bimetallism by its advocates, we are
yet to hear of it. Hardin, the Democratic
nominee, will, of course, make all he can
of the evasive cry, and as he seems to be
personally popular with both wings of his
party, he may be expected to poll pretty
nearly the full Democratic vote, and thus
save the State for his party this year. The
wine of his success, however, will not be
without its drop OF bitterness. He runs
with a platform which distinctly COM
mends Cleveland, and every vote he gets
for himself will be counted as an indorse-
ment of the President whom he abhors
and of policy which he condemns.
While by this arrangement of silver and
gold, the astuteness of the leaders has
apparently prevented split in the party
on that issue, and while in a State SO
strongly Democratic as Kentucky, any
approach to party harmony seems to
assure the election of the Democratic
candidates, it does not follow that the
Republicans have not fighting chance
for victory. The elimination of the finan-
cial question leaves the tariff the supreme
issue In the campaign, and this, with the
unqualified Endorsement of the Cleveland
administration, offers a good reason why
all those Kentuckians who believe in the
principles of Henry Clay and protection to
American industries, but who have been
voting with the Democrats on war issues,
should now ally themselves with the party
to which they rightfully belong. The Re-
publicans have nominated a strong ticket,
and on the plain platform OF opposition to
Clevelandism they may yet redeem even
that Bourbon commonwealth.

FUNERAL OF M. D. BORUCK,
Simple Masonic Services Held Over the
Remains of the Veteran Jour
naIiSt.

The remains of Marcus D. Boruck were
laid to rest yesterday afternoon in bed OF
roses. Through the kindness of some
friend. unknown to the family. the grave
in Mountain View Cemetery had been
lined with white cloth hidden by snowy
blossoms. The mound of earth at one
side was also concealed by flowers and
evergreens.
A simple funeral service was held in the
morning at the residence, 2125 California
street, the Rev. DR.. Foute officiating.
Only the members of the family were pres
ent. They were Mrs. Boruck, Mrs. William
Redding, the eldest daughter, Miss Flor
ence and Master Leland Boruck. The
fourth child, Mrs. Schuster, is in New
York.
Shortly after noon the body was re-
moved to the Masonic Temple, where a
great concourse of Mr.. Boruck's friends
had assembled. Frank r. Whitcomb, the
master Mason of Mount Moriah Lodge
No. A, to which Mr.. Boruck belonged,
conducted the services according to the
Masonic ritual.
The interment at Mountain View was
private, only the relatives and pall-bearers
following the remains to the grave. OF the
pall-bearers four were personal friends of
the deceased. The other eight were fellow
Masons. The list is as follows: H. P.

THE CHINESE VIEW.

While the outer world has been pleasing
itself in the belief that the japanese VIC
tories would open all China to civilization,
and provide new market for the goods of
Europe and America, the controlling ele-
ment of the Chinese people has by no
means conceded that the war will have
or ought to have any such effect. The
terms of peace dictated by the conqueror
compel them to open their ports, but it
remains to be seen whether the minds of
the people can be. opened, and whether
civilization will find anywhere sufficient
welcome to enable it to spread over the
land.
There recently assembled at Cheng Tu
numerous gathering of Chinese scholars to
pass the examinations necessary to render
them eligible to hold office in the empire !;
and from the reports that have come to US
the general sentiment among them was
strongly adverse to foreign influences.
They saw no benefit to themselves or to
their people in adopting Western ways. 1t
is one of the peculiarities of the race that
they esteem military success so little they
have no jealousy of Japan's victory, and
apparently no desire to be revenged. The
scholars who control the empire and domi-
nate public opinion have apparently no
other object just now than that of check
ing any tendency among the people toward
foreign ideas or customs, and holding them
firmly in the ways of the ancestors they
revere so much.
One of the ablest Chinese scholars is re-
ported to have expressed recently the gen.
eral sentiment of his class in saying:
i'The victory of the Mikado means the dis
appearance of our golden age. We were
happy and led simple lives, but by bring
ing to US what are called the benefits of
civilization the Japanese seek to destroy
our traditions and our hereditary virtues,
confuse our customs and mode of living,
and make US like themselves-amb bilious,
restless and eager for conquest. What will
we gain by that?"
So long as such sentiments animate the
scholars of China it is evident the spread
of civilization will be carried on by very
slow degrees. The Chinese market will
hardly be of much value to this generation.
There will be, of course, some profitable
business done in many lines of trade, and
it will pay the enterprise of the Pacific
Coast to reach out for it, but that great,
immense commerce of supplying 3o0, 600, 900
people with the products of civilization, of
which some sanguine optimists have been
talking, is long way off. Civilization
will have to be patient for many year.
China is too poor to pay for it, too slow to
hasten for it, and, moreover China does
not wish it,

JAPANESE MARINE SERVICE.

The New 7 rk San exhibits extraordinary
satisfaction while announcing that as Jap
anese ships can handle trans Pacific freight
at a rate less by 81 registered ton than
English ships can afford, Japan will event
ually drive British ships from the Pacific,
and it assumes that America will gladly
witness this breaking up of British power
on the ocean, 1t further declares that the
American companies operating between
the United States and the Orient are used
only as feeders for the transcontinental
railways, are not profitable in themselves
and will be gladly abandoned by the Amer
lean companies in favor of Japan.
If all this is true it presents cause for
anything but exultation. So long as we
are in competition with England alone the
situation is bad enough, for the small
wages and great poverty of its laborers and
artisans is factor in the lower rates at
which English ships do ocean carrying.
AS in Japan the wages and the poverty of
the people are an even stronger element
of cheap ocean freights, her position would
present still a far more serious obstacle to
the development of American industries.
For Great Britain and America to retire
from the Pacific merchant marine service
would be just such an acknowledgment of
the superiority of low wages as the Demo
cratic party makes in its free-trade policy.
Any reduction in the cost of laying down
Oriental products in America, where those
products are of kind which we produce,
would serve to lower the wages paid to
American operatives in those lines, unless
protective tariff of sufficient size be made
to counteract the cheaper rate at which
Japan can handle the traffic. The Demo-
cratic party has given us no reason to
hope that it could be depended on to make
such tariff, and even If the tariff should
be imposed it would counteract any of the
"benefits" which the driving away of Brit
ish and American ships in favor of japan
would create.
The Pacific Coast has just discovered
that Japanese contract laborers are at work
among the people by thousands and are
holding places which American workmen
would be glad to secure. 1t is useless to
say to any resident of this coast that Japan
should be encouraged at the expense of
England. We best of all know how i'm
possible it is for our people to compete
with the squalid hordes from China and
Japan. how they are merely bloodsuckers
attached to our commonwealth, how i'm
possible it is for them to assimilate with
US, and how eminently advisable it is that
we strengthen rather than impair the bar
rier against them which the Pacific repre-
sentS.

build into San Diego would receive prop
erty and pledges unsurpassed for gene
rosity. Even the Southern Pacific would
be forgiven if it should build into that ter
ritory, and could secure pledges for a
a practical monopoly of the business.
The financial tribulations of the Santa
Fe and its evident inability to extend it's
line into the Southern Pacific Company's
territory north of Moiave may have some
thing to do with this recent invasion of
Riverside, and if so there are better times
ahead for the extreme southern end OF the
State, for the Southern Pacific thoroughly
understands the art of finishing an enemy
whom it has brought down or whom it
happens to find helpless.

ORNAMENT THE HIGHWAYS.

The enthusiasm of the ladies of Santa
Rosa has taken broader turn since they
won their victory for the preservation OF
shade trees against the threatening ak of
sidewalk contractors. They are going now
Systematically into the work of ornament
ing the highways of their city and the
contiguous region by lining them with
shade trees. This is one of the best indi-
cations of reused pride to which the recent
movement for progress and reform
throughout the State has given birth. One
of the greatest charms of Santa Clara
County is the trees lining many of its prin-
cipal roads.
In California, where trees outside the
orchards are so rare and where their shade
is so grateful in the summer, the planting
of trees along the roads is fully as impor-
tant as the making of good highways, and
far more important than in the Eastern
States, where the country roads generally
run through forests instead of plains. 1t
therefore becomes as much duty of the
State Bureau of Highways to promote tree
planting as to encourage smooth high
ways. We sincerely hope that the exam
pie set by the ladies of Santa Rosa will be
followed by those of all the other towns of
the State, for this is an undertaking pecu-
harly suited to women and productive OF
the best results from their action.
The important improvement should not
be undertaken, however, without careful
study of the subject. 1t would be better
to have no trees at all than some which
have been popular for shade and orna-
mental purposes. The State University
has made very thorough and intelligent
study of the whole subject and is prepared
to give the best advice, for though it ap-
pears to be so simple a matter it is ex-
ceedingly complex. Thus evergreen trees.
such as San Mateo County has planted so
extensively along its highways, are per-
nicious, as their presence makes it impos-
sible to keep the roads free of mud in the
being evergreen, destroy the productive
capacity of the soil for considerable area
in their vicinity, and the cork elm, which
is one of the handsomest of trees, is q
nuisance by reason of the suckers which it
throws up within radius of fifty to
hundred feet around.
In most localities, further, it is possible
to plant trees which are useful as well as
ornamental. Among these is the walnut,
which produces both nuts and wood that
are valuable. On the other hand, some
trees, as the California and Arizona palms,
have hardly any utility even as shade
trees, but the semi-tropical aspect which
they lend to the scene makes them es-
pecially valuable. The whole subject is
one requiring the most careful study.
