OF promoting the interests of the

public opinion in California predis-
posed in their favor. As rule the

The proposed exposition promises to be
one of the most notable ever held in this
country. It is in the hands of men of

progressive cities In the Union and is as

success. 1t will have the active aid of
Chicago and St. Louis prompted by the
generous rivalry of those two cities for

successful accomplishment of good results
is therefore assured. and California will be
engaging in no hazardous enterprise if she

CABINET EXTENSION.

There is movement in the East, ever
growing stronger and getting into more
practical shape, for the establis hm ent of a
new Cabinet department to be devoted to
the interests of commerce and manufac-
lures. The West should approve of this
for it desires and needs the establishment
of Department of Mines and Mining
The two movements should join forces
and make united effort to overcome that
prejudice conservatism which is the only
barrier in the wav OF the accomplishment
of these purposes, which. if executed,
would greatly facilitate the progress of
prosperity.
The DILL providing for the establishment
of Department of Commerce and Manu-
factures was introduced into the Senate
last spring by Senator Frye, and it now
rests with the Senate Committee on Com
merce. 1t is proposed to gather into a
single department all the bureaus which
are directly concerned with the trade and
industries OF the country. The consular
service and Bureau of Statistics would be
transferred from the Depar tment of State
to the new department, as would likewise
many bureaus from the Treasury Depart

vice should have its scope exte nded along
lines of usefulness not practicable under
the State Department, whose office is
diplomatic rather than commercial Prom

made by large number of the members
of both houses
All the great countries OF Europe have
separate departments whose duty it is to
promote the interests of commerce and
industry. The president of the Board of
