POPULISM AND DEMOCRACY.

To the Editor Of the San francisco Coti--srR:
This brief note shall be devoted to showing
the inherent impossibility of a union between
Populism and Democracy, leaving of my next
like exposition for Republicanism. Let at
tention be confined to one point.
1t is a fundamental with Democracy that
eacn State is an absolute sovereign, and that
under Its reserve power it may legislate as to
ali things not expressly committed to the
National Government. 1t was the unbridled
supremacy OF this idea that led TO the old
South Carolina nullihcation laws verging on
revolution. Denying National sovereignty, an
appeal was made to the sword in 1861, where
by eleven States were disorganized, million
lives sacrificed, the most gigantic war of
modern times preeipitated and the most stu
pendous debts contracted. There can be 10
honest doubt but that the conflict waged in
the Rebellion was based on the different ideas
eighty.
Notwithstanding the pathetic tragedy at Ap-
pomattox, and refusing the eloquent lesson of
that surrender, the Democracy still clings 10
tne old ldea OF Stale supremacy. 1t continu-
ally asserts ii in its National platforms in the
eoltoTlals OF its leading Journals in the
speeches OF Its orators and in the conversation
OF lis voters. IL is radically embedded in the
constitution OF the party and in the minus of
its adherents.
There has been no movement in National
advancement ior one hundred years that

BNLISTING BRITISH CAPITAL.

The well-known California mining mag.
nate, Charles ID. Lane, is negotiating with
English capitalists for the sale OF vaIua bic
mining property in this State, and ex-
Senator S. W. Dorsey has organized a
gigantic syndicate of rich Londoners to
handle the Picacho mines in Arizona.
The deals in both instances represent vast
amounts of money. Their chief signifi-
cance to the Western and Southwestern
country is that British capital is discover
ing the splendid inducements which exist
in our mining fields and is evidently in
clined to invest largely in practically un-
developed properties.
The mines of California, despite the fact
that they have yielded enormous profits
in tie past, are still in the infancy of their
development. 1t may truthfully be said
that, IN the majority of instances, only
the surface croppings have been taken.
The South African gold fields have had
more money expended on them, in the
matter OF machinery, than the mines of
the Golden West. II British ca pital could
be interested to an equal extent in our
Pacific Slope mines the output here would
soon astonish the world again, and from
the depths of our mountains would be
brought up fortunes that would demon
strate that our quartz mines hitherto have
only been sampled.
There are rich prospects all through the
mining counties lying untouched for
want of the capital necessary to work
them. 1t is one of the good signs of the
times that foreign money is seeking the
safe investments afforded By our mines
1t is not out of the realm OF possibility
that the beginning of the twentieth cen.
tury may witness mining excitement in
the State OF California quite comparable
to that of the ''days of 49,"

rious ones; then there arose a controversy
whether the one that had been selected could
6ttingly be placed in front OF the Reichstsg;
for some little time the matter was discussed
among art critics; then the noise subsidized
and nothing has been heard of the projected
monument since, although there is plenty of
money in the hands OF the committee. Thus
it has come 10 pass that The sculptor, Max
Klein, himself resident of Gruenwaid, who
had carried off the second prize at that CON-
petition in 1894 for his Bismarck in the tradi-
tional uniform of the Cuirassiers of the Guard,
had the time to create another Bismarck, this
time conceived as the "old man of the Saxon
forest" dressed in the conventional long coat
he always wears since his retirement from
office.

FraternaI Neglect.

In ali fraternal organizations there is q rule
that when mem Der absents himself from the
place where the subordinate body to which
he belongs is located he may take a card
with him. When member in good standing
finds himself in strange place in which
there is subordinate of the order to which he
belongs, he Will always on presentation of his
card ind welcome and in case of need as
sistance. Some time ago the regent of one of
the local councils OF the Royal Arcanum was
notified that member of one of The Eastern
councils had died in the vicinity OF San Fran
cisco, and he was requested TO make an in
vestlgat tion aud report After some inquiry it
was ascerta1ned that the member had died in
Oakland and had been buried with out any
one of the order having been notihed OF the
tact. Had he made himself known upon his
arrival in the State several months before, he
would, when on his bed of sickness, have had
the care which fellow-members OF the order
would have gladly given him, and he would
not have passed away, as it was in his case,
stranger among strangers.
