NO JUSTIFICATION FOR TYRANNY.

THE morning organ of the Democratic faction
 which has captured the organization of the party
 in this city justies the action of the Demo- cratic State Committee on the ground that it cessary order to beat Boss Raney It declares that the elections have shown Raneys strength to comprise not 2ooo votes and in order to protect the other 3oooo Democrats in San Francisco against the boss 1t says the Democratic State Committee has provided for appointed State delegation and an appointed municipal convention.
 This argument is the weakest that has been in troduced for the purpose of sustaining tyranny If the premises laid down admitted there is poli- tcal outrage possible Of perpetration which may not be justified. The liberties of the people in the future may be flched from them upon the theory that they are being protected from some maign influence which they are unable to meet and overcome The argument is essentially paternal. It rests broadly upon the proposition that small body of men know better what the people want than the people know them selves
 The organ says that its Republican contemporaries are socitous in this It intimates broadly that the interest which are taking in the matter has selfish purpose, which is to force Democratic primary and throw the party organization into the hands of the Democratic bosses. But the argument which the organ has produced to sustain this theory is as weak as the other one just referred to- It pre- supposes that 2ooo Democrats led by Boss Rainey can overwhelm 3o,ooo Democrats led by Mayor Phelan and Colonel Sullivan. The absurdity of this become apparent the moment it is stated
 The principle upon which Republican opposition to the Democratic oligarchy which is being formed reposes ought to be plain even newspaper organ engaged in ilchng the rights of its party voters. We do not object to the Democratic party being in the manner proposed-it will be the more easily beaten with McNab Gould and complete charge-but have right in the interest of all the people to protest against such political methods. They are unDemocratic and unAmerican and in call ing attention to them merely desire to apprse the great body of the Democratic party of the fact that they have fallen into the hands of tyrants and must vote the Republican ticket in order to be free.

FOR AN ALLIANCE. /.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call-S1r: The sentiment of General Barnes is that of the people-tf1at the destiny of this nation points further than. some can see. All territory seized in war must be retained to add luster to the glory or the last and greatest of the nations. Let Russia, Germany, ct al. howl and buster as they please. What we fairly Win by our sword we will surely hold by our sword, as the trustee of oppressed peoples, who claim (with us) and shall nave the inalienable right to life. liberty ana the pursuit of happiness, So long withheld from them by the bioodthirstV tyranny of Spain, that loathed nation of arrogance, thUmbscrews and racks While she vainly plots with kindred despotisms TrtIIo1 E1 pioch our way, let us lock arms with England, our natural ally and true friend ana together sweep deSpotism; slavery and lnhumanity into the crowded limbo of the past Spain is the born foe: of our race, and she must be humbled and crushed. No half measures will suffice; no compromise is possible. The claws of thls hyena or the nations must be cut and Its blood-reeking fangS drawn once for
 all, thoroughly and finally, so: as to be rendered powerless to further block the progress of humanity and present an ob- lect lesson to nations of the same ilk

 her now that she dares hurl her rotten modern armada against the stalwart off spring of the old mother. She relies on frail reeds when she looks to the effete despotisms of Europe to champion her failing cause against us, since no possible combination of them will be rash enough to face the Thors hammer of the invul- nerable sAnglo-SaXon race in resistless fraternal alliance; and if they did, that hammer would crush them to impalpable powder, to be blown by the four winds into everlasting oblivion. Let them make no mistakes, for we have done with our family fun (which they automatically encouraged of twisting the lions tail and (to quote General Barnes) we now reach across the ocean in the spirit of real race fraternity, say to the lion, Shake a pawr and the non responds, Here, shake bothr' Together we can whip the unruly world into submission and secure the blessings of civilization, freedom and peace for peoples wEGm centuries of op pression and cruelty have reduced to the condition of helpless and pitiable slaves.

 Why there should have been s6 many lies printed concerning the war with Spain is a mystery, but not mere.: so to the public than to the newspaper linen. That the Government has chosen tQ clog the ordinary channels of news is an act of wisdom with which no~re sonable person will find fault. @But to utterly shut off information. from the scenes of activity is an impossibIhty. More or less of it will leak through and is certain to be eagerly received. Along. with this has come mess of:r11bblsh, some of it without shadow of founda- tion, but it had to be publishedf: for at the time of receipt there was no: reason for doubting it's integrity. l :contesS: that this puzzles me. Despite a. foolish opinion to the contrary, newspapers do not wish to print bogus inforrfla- tiOn. Any reporter knows: that for him to write a deliberate fake" is equivalent to handing in a resignation. The correspondents who have gone to the front seem also to have gone daft.
 
 duet as theirs would mean .disn4fssal. do not know more than three papers in the United States which would print as truth statement they know: to: be false. These are the New York Journal, the New York World and the San Francisco Examiner But this .tlnholy trio constitute a class apart, not to be considered in discussion of jouEnalfsm, Other papers try to get the exact news, put during the last month there is not Cne of them but has been fooled on more than one occasion. War; seems to be demoralizing. We laugh. at the wild fabrications of the Spanish press, and yet among the journais':of this country, staid, painstaking. proud of their accuracy, ready to go to any ex- pense to get the real news, there is not one but has been led into the absurdity of reporting details of battles never fought, speeches never made: inter- views never given. I do not know what can be done about it. When a story is traced to its source there does not. seem to be any source. suspect the. sea- gullS.

HEROES OF THE NAVY.

- the progresses the fact becomes evident H that American heroes of the sea do not belong { ! alone to tradition The men ships to- day brave as the men who fought with Paul Jones. The sailors with Sampson and Schley are ready to give up life for country and honor Where danger calls they anxious to go
 In all the annals of battle there has been no record of nobler courage than that o the who on board the Merrmac sailed to what seemed certain death. They did not have the inspiration of cannon roar, they were not carried away by mad excitement the possibility that they would survive tell the story of their daring did not occur to them.
 Greater love hath no man than this than to lay down his life for his friends
 Such the love which buoyed the sailors of the Merrimac they steamed away toward hostile guns to waters known to be deadly with torpedoes Each instant they advanced they must have expected the final crash. Yet the eight brave men chosen from thousands who camored for the chance to place themselves upon the altar of their country They loved their country, were eager to die for it What people shall stand against heroism which thus inn pels willingly to die?
 No matter what the war may bring forth, what other heroes may have opportunity to grave deep in the hearts of their countrymen the knowledge that navy IS filled with patriots, these eight of the Merrimac must be given chapter in the proud his tory to be written of the first unselfsh war ever waged
 Congress will give to Constructor Hobson and the volunteers who went with him medal apiece. The token will be handed down in every family and with just pride will be told the story 1t commemorates There should be practical recognition. It would be well to have the medals, but in addition there ought to be pile of yellow disks the good gold coin of this country, which after all is the most prac- tical form by which the gratitude and admiration of the country can find expression.
 Ehe names of the men. excepting as to Hobson himself; are yet unknown, but they will soon be familiar to the world Hobson is not a line officer l. has been the habit of line officers to regard those oi his class non-combatants and to look upon them with at least implied contempt. They can do this no more: In the time of supreme peril it was "non-combatant" who first said "I will go"

WHERE CUBAN BREAD IS SUFFERED.

n MONO the reports which are current is one / \ that the Cubans dissatisfied with the Amer A. ican plan of invading Cuba In all probab- ity it is groundless, and yet the meager chance that it maybe correct IS worth consideration.
 When determination was reached to drive the Span ish from Cuba there was no thought on the part of anybody in authority of selfish motive. The only ob- ject to give to the Cubans the government for the establishment of which they had fought bravey and so long If the Cubans know on which side their bread is buttered they will accept the help rendered and listen to none of the Spanish tales of dupcity For if they present hostile front to the Americans they will lose all they have staked in the game save the blessing of being subject to a civilized power n- stead of a semi -barbarous one.
 There is nothing which can stop the onward sweep of the armies of the United States. If the Cubans gather under the and stripes the island wrested from Spain will belong to them If they fail in this the stable government promised will be the govern ment of Uncle Sam. This circumstance is something for the Cubans to think about and if they have not the sense to draw correct conclusions, surely they have not sense to govern themselves.
 It would be well for them to also bear in mind that there IS in this country large and growing party which does for the welfare of Cuba and sees in the destruction of the Maine the solitary pretext for This party has patience with Cuba, and regards the conquest there bringing to America all the spoil the legitimate fruit of conquest The act of Cubans in turning against the United States would be welcomed sweeping away the last yes tige of excuse for fighting the battles of alien people If the people prove ungraeful the party now opposed to them will become dominant and the Gu ban flag disappear from Cuba along with the flag of Castie.
