Not In to Standard

Ex-President Harrison's speech before
the supreme court in the California irriga-
ton case was disappointment to his
clients. The California people who en-
ployed him to defend the constitutionalty
of the law complain with considerable bit
terness, that General Harrison did not APP
per to understand his case. Great things
had been expected of him. but he omitted
mention of one or two Of the strongest
points in favor of his contention, and was
surprisingly inaccurate in some of his
statements of fact. These criticisms, it
should be remembered, come from the Cal
ifornia people, who we're interested in
the case and who want the econstitutionality
of the act affirmed. They do not hesitate
to declare that General Harrison has failed
properly to prepare himself for his argyll
ment. Inasmuch as he received a $10,-
600 fee for an hours work in the supreme
court, they think he should have taken the
trouble to do his very best. while there
is no doubt of General Harrison's great
ability as lawyer" said one of the Cali
fornia senators, "it is pretty clear he was
suffering from lack of preparation when
he appeared in the supreme court. But
what can you expect from man who is in
ove?"-Chicago Times s-Herald.

A QUESTIONABLE POLICY

The school lands of California are
steadily being sold off to private par
ties, and at very low prices on an aver
age. At the rate they are now going,
the time is not far distant when there
will be practically none of those lands
left for the benefit of the people.
It is question whether the policy of
selling such lands is wise one. If the
ownership of school section is a good
thing for an individual, why may it not
be equally good for the state ? Mime
sofa has furnished an illustration of
how lands set apart for the public
school fund can be made to benefit the
people to greater degree by being
held and leased than by being sold. A
few years ago law was passed in that
state requiring the mineral lands be-
longing to the public school fund to be
leased. The revenue derived from that
source the first year under that law
amounted to $S390, and there has been
. steady annual increase until the sum
has reached nearly 100000 year. And
rs the development Of the mineral re-
sources Of the state is only in its in
fancy, the total amount that will be
realized in future years will cause ev-
cry Minnesotan to rejoice that the
state declined to sell those lands for a
song.
Chicago affords striking example
on the other side Of the question. as
was explained in The HERALD a few
months ago.
Such facts as these should cause
people to hesitate about approving the
sale of public school lands which can
be made q permanent source of revenue
for school purposes.

A Much.AhuSed Word

1t would appear that Americans have
been altogether too lavish and reckless in
applying to Corbett, the occasional prize
fighter, the title of "gentleman." Corbett
is no gentleman and of late has been en-
deavoring to have it distinctly understood
that he is q cowardly and unInannerly
brute. Such proceedings as that OF CorDett
at the National theater in Philadelphia on
Saturday night, stamp him as a mere
vicious animal, who ought to be locked up
The case of Corbett shows that there
oeght to be a simultaneous elfort ali
around to rescue the W ord gentleman from
ridicule and contempt. The highest word
in the English language, one that mas
been applied to the Savior of men, as tine
first true gentleman that ever was" has
been miserab.y treated in this country
Here it has been applied for years to Cor
be:t, who has figured all around the board
as ''Gentleman Jim" Why should any
"slugger," of any degree. biped, who
puts up his sinister features to be beaten
out of shape for hire, be called "genile-
MANI" What is there in the pursuit and
associations and ways AMI words OF Inst
fighter in common with those OF gentle
MANI" Nothing at all, in the American
understanding of the word, for with us
gentleman" refers almost exclusively to
high standard of manners, morals and
intelligence, and not, as in some otner
countries, to certain conditions of birth or
fortune. Corbett, it is sure, would not pass
the conditions regulating the character OF
a gentleman in any country.
The public must rescue this title of "gen-
tleman." 1t has been suffered to get down
in the mire and be trodden under foot. 1t
belongs to the noblest work of God and
should by no means be applied to rum
soaked bar-room loafers and FOUNDERS, per-
sons who make the dramatic stage ira
vesty and disgrace, or to low-browed
creatures who beat each other black, blue
and bloody for money. The word must be
raised far above the level of these and
high above the grade to which it has been
demeaned. 1t should be understood that
when man has been spoken of as ''gen-
tlemen," the best has been said of him in
the way of praise; that the resources of de-
served compliment have been exhausted.
"Gentleman" is intended for the best, not
the worst. of human kind.-Kansas City

KEEP THE STREETS FREE

The disposition manifested by the
city council to deal with the curb
stone meeting proposition compro-
misingly, strikingly illustrates the in
ability Of the average city father to
grasp principles in their entirety.
It is apparently the intention Of the
council to agree on an ordinance pro-
hibiting street meetings within certain
prescribed limits, presumably the re-
tail portion of the city. Now, of
course, the only principle on which
such legislation would be enacted is
that the streets of the city are intended
for the passage of people and not for
meetings. This principle, if it is cor
rect, and it is undoubtedly. is appli-
cable to all the streets of the munich
pality. While, Of course, it is more
important that the streets in the
crowded part of the city be kept free
of obstruction and disturbance, there
is no good reason why all the streets
Of the city should not enjoy similar
immunity. One street is just as much
in principle public thoroughfare as
another, and all parts Of the city are
equally entitled to protection from the
disturbing or obstructive effects of the
curbstone assembly.
The prohibiting of meetings, whether
they be religious, political, scientific,
philosophical, or what not in character
in the streets, in no way abridges any
body's rights; on the contrary, such
action conserves the rights OF all.
When any sect, faction, party or clique
monopolizes street corner or part
of block in the consideration or ex-
position of their views or ideas, of ne
cessity somebody is inconveniencsd,
somebody's rights are infringed on.
The right Of peaceful assembly is in
no way imperiled by an ordinance pro-
hibiting mass-meetings in the public
streets, but the streets are preserved
for the purposes intended instead of
other purposes not in mind when they
were constructed. People should and
do have under the constitutions of the
union and state, the right to peacefully
assemble and discuss practically any
subject, from any standpoint they de-
sire. The right of peaceful assembly
and discussion is right pressrvative
of other rights and should. be most
jeslously guarded, but in ordor to pre-
serve it, it is not necessary to exercise
it in the public streets. The assem-
bling should be as The HERALD sug.

Sir Eredarick .eirhton

Lcrd Leighton's death removes a curious
personality from the intellectual life of
London. AS Sir Frederick Leighton, the
president of the Royal Academy of Paint
ing, the eminent painter occupied lofty
place and filled it very gracefully. His
annual speech at the academy banquet
was almost as important function as the
ministerial pronouncement at Greenwich.
Lord Leighton was a delightful host in his
lovely sudio-home in Holland Park road,
where he had united the wonders of
architecture and painting on re-
duced scale in the happiest manner. 1t
was once said of him by witty American
that he could do everything admirably
except paint-which was rather hard on a
painter at the head of his profession. He
was handsome and distinguished in man
ner. and leaves thousands of friends-New

Hon. Thomas Ward, exsheriff of Wasco
county, Ore., is at the Nadeau. The sec
ton in which he lives is entirely dependent
for prosperity on copious rains at this sea-
son, which this year so far have been abb
normally abundant. The arid sections of
the state, where agriculture and hortlcul-
ture are almost impossible usually with
out irrigation, have been blessed with con-
tinuous rains, light at first, softening the
calsed earth and then coming down in
heavy showers, which very thoroughly soak
into the soil. He said that these rains, ex-
tending as far east as Baker City and
Huntington, meant thousands OF dollars to
those engaged in agriculture, and that now
cheap water transportation is in sight
through the clearing of the channel of the
Columbialriver, and a brighter day is dawn
ing for the tiller of the soil.

Like as in some woodland place
Lifts lily, ciiaste and white,
From the shadow to the light;
Tell us, by your subtler glance.
What strange soreery enchants
You Us now here, yet afar
AS the realms OF moon ana star!
Have you magic lamp ana ring,
And gtnii for vassal!ng?
Little Maid-O -O'Dreams, confess
You're divine and nothing less
For with mortal palms we fear,
Yet must pet you, dreaming here
Yearning, too, to lift the tips
OF your fingers TO our lips;
Fearful still you may rebel,
High aud Heavily oraclel
Thus. though ell unmeet our kiss,
Pardon this land this land thisl

You're sage in embryo

Trusting God and man, you do
jest As Heaven inspires you to.

GENERAL MARIN, at present COM
manding the Spanish forces in Cuba,
complains that the Cuban insurgents
do not fight fairly. He means by this
that they refuse to come out into the
open aud be slaughtered in frank and
manly fashion. General Marin's COM
plant recalls the grievance the Aus
trian generals had against Napoleon;
they bitterly reproached the "Little
Corporal" for his unusual modes Of
warfare, and asserted that they could
not be expected to succeed against such
a man. The Spanish commander should
remember that the Cubans are not
fighting for the fun of it, but in behalf
of a cause they profess to hold dear.
They can hardly be asked to do any
thing other than that which will call
for the least expenditure of lives and
ammunition on their side. OF course
the destruction of the property of
non-combatants is distinctly to their
discredit, but their failure to fight the
Spanish in Spanish way certainly
does not merit rebuke.
