which circumstances may permit, and pos
sibly the capture of some important sea-
port. While all this is going on the news
comes that Spain has made heavy call
for troops and will double the army which
she has on the island. These in large part
will be raw recruits unfit for efficient fight
ing and with heavy natural odds to oppose
and discourage them.
Once the recognition of the nations is
secured the downfall of Spanish power
seems inevitable. The insurgents are fight
ing with determination that borders on
martyrdom, and that is the strongest of
all elements in rebellion. The consider
alton, even enthusiastic sympathy, with
which General Campos is treated in the
cities which he holds in the name of
Spain cannot blind him to the fact that
the real heart of the people hates the
Spanish yoke. The Spanish capitalists
who fatten on the industry of the natives
under the protection of Spain will not dare
go too far in their support of the Spanish
cause; already they have contracted a
heavy bill, which the insurgents, if sue
cessful, will make them pay with interest,
and patriotism generally seeks cover when
capital is threatened
1t is too early now to speculate on the
success of the rebels; the fact as it exists
is sufficient for the present. The interest
of the United States in this struggle is
UNNECESSARILY greater than that of any
other country, except Spain, and the con-
duct of the United States when the time
for recognition comes will largely deter
mine the character and extent of the bene-
fits which we may enjoy from destruction
OF Spanish power. Between this consider
alton and our duty to Spain as to great
nation with whom we have amicable rela-
tons but little social or commercial SYM
pathy, our Government must pursue
course full of difficulties. These should
not permit it to forget, however, that self
interest is the most binding of laws.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The overwhelming influx of new students
to the State University has crowded the
capacity of the institution beyond reason
able limits and produced awkward compli-
cations. This is a difficulty that there
should be no time lost in meeting. At
best, barring the new buildings, the
newest of which is an exquisite work
of architectural and structural art, the
buildings are inferior and inadequate
and no care is taken to make the grounds
attractive. The site is superb, but its ad-
vantages are neglected in the exercise of
foolish economy. The tremendous in
pouring OF students, despite the fact that
the population of the State has not materi-
ally increased in the last few years and
despite the further fact that the Stanford
University has appeared meanwhile and
received more than thousand pupils,
shows that the State University sregarded
by the people as an institution of the
highest order and that our young men and
women are no longer being sent to Eastern
colleges. Corresponding with such a
recognition there must exist a popular
pride which would cheerfully respond with
money to the needs of the institution.
Californians are not niggards and yet the
external appearance of the State Univer-
sity indicates that they are.
1t should be highly gratifying to the
University management and to the State
at large to see the institution receive so
many demands for instruction in agric ult-
ure and horticulture. The eyes of the
whole country seem to be turned to Cali
fornia for young men and women educa-
ted in these specialties by our State Uni
versity. There are two reasons why this
should be so. One is that the peculiar eli
matte conditions of the State permit an
infinitely wider range of methods than in
any other part of the country, and the
other is the high reputation made by stu
de nts who have been turned out by this
University and made instructors in the
various colleges and universities of the
country. This means to say that the uni
versity instructors themselves are men of
the highest ability, fact already known
everywhere.
The inadequate and shabby wooden
houses which belong to the original group
OF buildin gs are wholly out of keeping with
the reputation of the University, the pride
that it inspires among the people and the
natural beauties of the site. In this re-
gard and in aspect to the manner in which
the grounds are kept, the University can
not compare with the State Normal schools
at San Jose and Los Angeles, nor any of
the insane asylums nor the State prison
at Folsom. This is shameful thing, and
1t would be difficult to convince us that
the people are unwilling to remedy it.

OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

San Francisco experts assert that more than
| half-million dollars are sent out of California
every year for cigars. We have just as GOOD
cigar-makers in this State as can be scared up
anywhere. We can import and grow as good
tobacco as any State. What, then, is the trou-
BILE? Eastern manufactures advertise heav-
lily and California manufacturers don't. This
| is the whole secret. Eastern brands are house
hold words and California brands are unknown.

A movement is on foot to prevent the use of
the National flag for advertising purposes. It
should be successful. II nothing else is sacred
against the demands of progressive business
the stars and stripes should be. The flag
should have such reverence as it deserves and
it is difficult TO feel it when the banner is used

hope that the spirit of this movemant will

1t seems to US that the State at large should
assist the Miners Association IN their fight
against the railroad company. The develop
ment of our mines means millions to the State
every year, and if the railroad people are al
lowed to unlawfully get possession of vast
tracts of mineral land the State will receive no
benefit therefrom unless it pays heavy toll.
Immediate action is necessary.-Auburn Re-

Fuller, for a long shot? The other day saw
wagon-load of the finest peaches you ever set

two? That is all, except the last one, which
was decayed far beyond all hope of recovery.
How many balls have got? Yes, you can

"No, but I'll bet you new suit of clothes
that you don't know how many balls you have
made" replied Fuller.
"Why, seven, of course" said Hinckley, sus-
pending the game for moment
''Well, you've made just three balls aud the
rest you counted were billiard shots. let you
go on to see where you would stop. You're the

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Fritz Hinckley is rather inclined to mix
things up in an indiscriminate way He sell
dom if ever ties himself down to the prosaic
side of life. At moments when many men
would be silent Hinckley is bubbling over with
conversation.
Here is a slice of his conversation overheard
yesterday in the Palace billiard-room when
the gentleman was playing game of 15-ball
pool during the lunch hour with w. P. Fuller,
who is, strangely enough, silent player.
Say, Fuller, just watch me make this COM
bination shot for the corner = one ball. By
the way, did You ever buy fruit from the vend-
ers who sell sixteen peaches for nickel on the
corner? Bank for the side. Well, it's funny

A Substitute for Champapne

No fault can be found with the use of a bou-
quet of sweet peas, in lieu of bottle of cham
payne, at the launching of the latest ship down
at Bath, even though it is departure from the
conventional rule. The average young lady
who is called upon to oficiate at the christen-
ing OF ship can handle bouquet far more
gracefully than she can bottle of wine. and
It wouldn't De a bad idea to put this floral no
ton from Bath in further practice when ships
are TO be launched.-Boston Herald

cold Glory" Is Venerable.


1t may not be known to every citizen, but 1t
ought to be, and likewise taught to every school
boy that the Stars and Stripes is the Oldest
flag OF any nation, as well as the most glorious,
says the New York Marine Journal No flag
has prior claim in point of years. The English
poet who wrote about the Union Jack as "the
flag that brayed a thousand years the battle and
the breeze" rather overstepped the literal; for
the nag only dates its distinctive form from
the formation of the United Kingdom in 1901.
The tricolor of France was only adopted in
1884. The flag of the Spaniards was only es-
tablished in 1855. The Italian and German
banners are. no older than the existing
regimes OF those countries. But. the Stars
ana stripes was proclaimed as the flag of
the United States by resolution of Congress
passed June Ia, 1777. And as for its glory, it
has never. been defeated, but achieved the
greatest victory ever won from the English,
which is surely enough glory for any flag. No
wonder, then, that our flag will ever be known
as "old glory" 1t has always had all the glory
that any nation could as pire to attain.

The decision of Judge Smith in the test case

ladies any more than the gentlemen who
make application. Those registrars who have
been attending to this duty have done the
right thing.-Salt Lake Herald.
