GENUINE COOPERATION.

The appeal TO the public made by the
Citizens Colonization Committee, ap-
pointed BY the Chamber OF Commerce TO
devise ways ana means for relieving the
distress OF the unemployed, should meet
with hearty and immediate response. In
aid OF the praiseworthy enterprise origin
ally suggested By the Salvation Army-to
establish farm colonies and give worthy
families the opportunity to become self
supporting through their own efforts-the
committee asks the philanthropicp people Of
California TO loan money (every cent OF
which will repaid with inteIest) for the
purpose of starting the colonists in bust
ness.
The necessary land is available and the
contracts ready to be made. The colo
nists will invest their industry and labor
in q pEoiect certain to yield good returns,
and the committee desires this loan in
order 70 provide these colonists with the
means OF living before they begin TO real
ize on their investment.
When the situation OF the early part Of
last winter, with its army Of unem ployed.
is recollected it viii be seen that Ibis
project designed 10 prevent e recurrence
of such a condition, and in fact 10 bring
prosperity TO those who then suffered
from lack OF en- pIoy ment Of labor, is one
which ought TO receive ample and timely
support al the hands of those of our peo-
p whom fortune has blessed with plenty
Of this worlds treasures.
Last winter the good people OF San
Francisco donated $30,0 600 TO relieve the
suffering OF deserving workingmen and
their families b. giving the men a chance
10 earn wages in the construction OF Balboa
avenue, q most important public improve
ment.
Now the committee asks for loan Of
SIS, o10 and SO 900 of this must be had
before the colonial ton plan can be put
into practical effect. In the great colony
on the sugar beet lands OF the Salinas
Valley it is proposed that WORK shall
always be ready for those who need it,
and every man desiring 10 abor will there
have an opportunity 10 earn q home for
himself ana family. II this Salvation
Army plan succeeds according 20 its mer-
its We shall hear no II ore OF armies OF IN
employed on San Francisco's streets.
There viii be no reason for their exist
ence, for there will be remuneralive work
for ell VINO are willing and eager TO IA Dor
and earn.
The citizens committee is composed Of
some of The most substantial and most re-
spected men of the City and State. They
are working in a noble cause, and We ex-
pect TO hear very soon that the necessary
funds have come rolling into the commit
tees treasury to start the grand colonial
tion enterprise forward on the road to
success

PUT AN END TO THE SLAVERY.

As result OF the exposures which have
been made by The CALL during the past
teE weeks relativs 70 the inhuman slavery
which reigns unchecked n Chinatown, a
petition is being circulated and signed by
thousands, asking President Mckinley to
embodY in his forthcoming message TO
Congress such recommendations as be
may deem necessary, to the end that an
investiga alton, through q special mm:tiee
Of our National representatives., may be
made in the premises.
The petitioners desire that Congress &C
quaint itself. through the special commit
tee, with the conditions OF bondage exist
ing here, IL order that some remedy may
be devised and our Nation be relieved from
the stain which nov rests uponit through
an open and notorious violation OF the
constitution and laws OF the United States.
l. Is shown that IN spite OF the four
tenth amendment, which expressly for
bids TIE holding OF human beings in bond
age within the borders OF this Republic
aud makes the barter and sale OF such be-
ings q felony, there are in this City and
State today more than thousand ie-
males held in slavery, and bough. and
SOlA q SAd4LEis. Is -CpOIASQ II he
CALL. these slaves "are scourged. beaten,
tortured and even killed by their owners,
II lnsolent defiance OF the laws Of the
land
Emphasis is laid in the petition on the
apparent heIplessness Of Federal and mu-
nicipai officers TO prevent the Illegal land
ing and subsequent traffic IN human be-
iDgs. An investigation viii show where
the weak points lie, either in the law or
the conduct OF officials. There must be
some adequate remedy for this crying
evil. ana tue power which placed the Jour
Ieenth amendment in our National con-
sliIution can certainly be counted on to
enforce its mandates in dealing with Chi
nese slavery IN the United States, as thor
ough.y as il did in dealing with negro
slavery.
When the walls OF the City are placarded
with notices containing threats against all
who dare to interfere with the female
slave trade of Chinatown, ana when the
shareholders openly swear TO take the lives
c. those who actively oppose the accused
business, it is high time that drastic meas
ures be adopted 10 teach the heather
wholesome and lasting respect for the
constitution OF the United States.

CANOVAS DEL CASTILLO.

The death By the hand Of an assassin OF
Antonio Canovss del Castillo Premier OF
Spain, removes one OF tie ablest states
men perhaps whom that Kingdom ever
produced; one who was as true 10 Spain as
needle TO the pole; a man OF giant
mind, firm. fearless, bold, and one. further
more, upon whose mighty strength as a
political leader the very existence OF the
Spanish monarchy has seemed, for g
period, very largely to depend. He was
the mainstay almos Of the present Cuban
policy OF that Government, a nd the bear
ing which his death may have on qlez-
lions of vital interest 10 Spain and her
colonies is being earnestly discussed to-
day throughout the civilized world.
That Spain has lost her most capabl
statesman, under existing circumstances
seems 10 be generally admitted and pre-
dictions are being made in some quarters
that the result OF the anarchists pistol
shot at Santa Agueda on Sunday will be
the speedy disruption OF an already bank
TUpt nation. That the future OF Spain is
dark ii we're folly TO deny; but we are
inclined to the view expressed By Secre-
tary OF State Sherman with reference to
the immediate situation which may be
brought about By the tragedy.
Tine death Of one man." says the Secre-
tary, seldom affects the political party
IN power. II seems 10 me in this case the
effect if any, would he TO strengthen
Canovas' party. Il will create sympathy
that viii add strength 10 the conserTa-
tives"
Such effects, however, will be merely of E
temporary nature. The ranks OF the doml-
nant Spanish party may te augmented for
the time being, bur the conservatives will!
shortly find themselves in the condition
realized BY the Liberal party OF England
when Giadstone's retirement from public
lie left them leaderless and all at sea
The conservative party OF Spain has lost
its most potent force, and when the ex-
element and the sympathy aroused tv
he assassination OF Premier Canovas have
ceased to act upon the popular mind OF
that country We may expect TO see the
party Of Canoyas fall to pi eces and give
way TO party which may not only change
the policy,of the Government but work
change even in the form OF government
itself.
Twenty-Five years ago a republic was
proclaimed in Spain. The trend seems
that way again, and, If the republic comes,
it IS highly proba Die that a famous states
man who has retired from poIi,ics-Don
Emilio Castelar-wilI be called from phi
yate life to take the helm o: state.
Senior Canovas was man OF wonderful
intellect Il is said OF him that his great
talents explained and justified the high
position he occupied. In spite of his at
teniion to affairs Of state he found time
TO devote TO literature, and he will be
known TO the future as one of the great
Spanish prose-writers and historians OF
the age. He had seen three score years,
and retained TO the last the full freshness
OF his rich mental powers.
