FREEDOM WILL COME.

Boston Globe.
Clothed with these all-embracing func-
lions the Car is well nigh barred from
yielding to any demand for even partial
self-government, since sharing his gov
eminent. with the people would violate all
the conditions under which he is intrusted
with absolute power Against this UNI
yielding absolutism the aspirations of the
Nineteenth century surge and press It
is contest of the forces of progress and
the will Of the autocrat The ultimate re-
suit of that contest is not to be doubted.
Russias hope lies in a future of freedom.
All the forces of growth are pledged to
liberty and sooner or later the Roentgen
rays of truth will penetrate the brain of
some Car and light up the dark recesses
of absoutism.

Americans cordially sympathize with the
Russians in their imprisoned enthusiasm
over the great event. No one can esteem
too highly the Importance of the conse-
quences that now hinge on the personality
and character of the new Gar; not merely
to all the Russias. but as well to all the
adjacent nationalities. East and West.
And it is. we believe, altogether to the ad-
vantage of the friendship of nations and
the peace of the world that the official
representatives of other countries are pres
ent to participate in the august ceremony.

GOOD ADVICE IGNORED.

Dubuque Times.
over year ago Senator Palmer advised
the sound money Democrats to open the
war on the free silver faction of the party,
and if they had followed his advice they
would not have the uphill work that is be-
fore them. But in Illinois, as in Iowa, the
sound money Democrats have neither had
the time nor inclination to do so and have
had no idea of the organization that has
been made to take the party out of their
control.

recollection of the misery and ruin which

THE BARBARIC SHOW.

The ceremonies at Moscow attending the
coronation of a Car have always been on
a scale of surprising and semi-barbaric
splendor. There is no civilized nation out
side of Russia which could, on an occasion
like the one in question show such ming
ling of the medieval and the modern, of
culture and barbarism, of intelligence and
superstition.

EXCEss OF SENATORIAL COURTESY

St Louis Post-Dispatch.
Senator White. of California. threatened
that if the effort to rob the treasury of
s.. 100000 for Huntington's harbor is per-
sisted in he will expose the ''ulterior mo-
tives" behind it. The threat was effect
i've. But why should Senator White be
silent? Is it part of Senatorial courtesy
that a Senator knowing of corruption,
shall hold the fact as sacred unless it
threatens his own personal interests or
ambitions? II will strike the average mind
as monstrous that a Senator of the United
States. having knowledge of bargain and
sale in legislation, could consent to main
tain silence regarding the crime. And it
is not consoling that Senator should use
such knowledge only to force such action
as he desires. They may call this courtesy
in the Senate. but the detective police have
another name for it.

True; true. And it has been accomplished

Cleveland in getting rid Of the Sherman
silver act and in protecting the gold re-

had supported Cleveland in adopting the

SAL WALTON FOR CHINESE.
The Army Will Soon Open Up
in New Monaghan Head
quarters.
A Number Of White Officers Have
Learned Chinese-Consent of
the Consul Gained.

The Salvation Army is about to open
branch of its work in Chinatown. The
Consul-General, while not contemplating
enrolment under the banner himself, has
expressed sympathy with the scheme, and
so many Chinese merchants have promised
their support that it is expected the new
branch will be entirely self-supporting.
While the fact is not generally known,
there are a number of Chinese soldiers in
The army, and these converts have ex-
pressed desire to get in among their
Monaghan brethren and hunt up recruits
The officers who have worked most in
Chinatown are also anxious to nave
headquarters, and with this end in view
they have been diligently studying the
language for months. Several of them
can now converse quite easily in the
Cantonese dialect, and. what is harder
still, they can understand everything that
is said to them in the same tongue.
Captain May Jackson has been appointed
head of the new branch. She has had
considerable experience in Chinatown. and
she can wrestle with the difficulty of talk
ing TO the yellow-skinned denizens OF that
quarter better than any of the other men,
bers of the local corps. All the officers at
present detailed for the Chinatown branch
are white and all of them have learned
Chinese expressly for the work. Many of

town, however, and as it is to be opened
by the first of next month the selection

Peoples Voice to Be Raised to
Congress in No Uncertain
Tones.
MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS READY
Presented at the Meeting of the Com.
mittee of Fifty Yesterday-Text
of the Document.

Mayor Srtro's active brain has evolved g.
new, original and far-reaching plan for
fighting the funding bill which c. P Hunt
lngton hopes to pass through the present
session OF Congress, and he is losing no
time IN putting it into execution.
1t Is nothing less than great State con-
Fentlon to send the voice of California;
opponents of the measure to Washington
IN tones that cannot be mistaken.
The scheme suggested itself to the
Mayor yesterday afternoon, and he at once
placed himself in communication with
Mayor Davie of Oakland, Mayor Baggs of
Stockton, and Mayor Hubbard of Sacra-
mento, all of whom are firm opponents OF
the funding bill.
The first two named officials at once
slgnified their Willingness to discuss the
matter, and agreed to meet at the Office OF
Mayor Sutro at II O'clock this morning.
Sacramento's chief executive stated that
he would use his best endeayors to be on
hand, but did not feel sure that he could
get away from Sacramento in time.
Mayor Sutro's plan is the most compre-
hensive that has yet been suggested TO
voice the sentiments OF the people of this
State. The three Mayors will formulate a
call Cor a great gathering Of the represen-
tative men OF the State TO meet in San
Francisco Immediately to protest to the
fullest extent of their ability against the
extension Of time asked by the railroad
magnates.
The Peep le of points so far distant as to
preclude the sending of delegates will be
asked TO hold district conventions and to
add the result of their deliberations to the
action taken by the central convention. 1t
is hoped By this means to arouse the State
as 1t has never before been aroused and
force the fight against the funding bill to
victorious conclusion.
