CALIFORNIA OPINION
Too Many Propositions

There are too many propositions for tho
disposition of the Fiesta fund. That mon-
ey was subscribed for a certain purpose
and when not used therefor should have
been returned, except by express and vol
untary permission of the givers. But SO
far from this 1t has been proposed to de-
vote it to another purpose, and when one
firm declined to allow the diversion it has
been published in a very offensive and in.
furious manner. This is not gratitude for
the original favor Of the subscription, and
instead Of receiving good from it, as it had
right to expect, the firm has been held
up extensively to public odium, and proba-
bly, injured in its business. and would
hardly be blamed If 1t declined to make any
subscription whatever the next time 1t is
called upon. Its good act and effort have
been turned to Its injury and It may rea-
sonably feel a little bit sore over it. But
as If this was not enough, now comes q
proposition for another diversion Of the
money, to road-bullding purposes, Now,
both road-building and troop-equipping are
commendable, but they should stand ON
their own bottom and not use the money
subscribed for other purposes. The result
of 1t all will be that when another year
rolls around and the question of Fiesta
fund turns up again 1t will be mighty hard
to get subscriptions to it.-Pasadena Star.

FOR FUSION

The appointment of John W. Mitchell
Democratic state central committee to
negotiate the preliminary steps for the
fusion Of the Democratic, Populist and
Silver Republican forces in the coming
campaign, is first-class selection, and
has given general satisfaction with the
working element Of the different parties
in this section.
Mr.. Mitchell has been a constant, un-
selfish worker in the Democratic party,
and has many years of experience in local
political affairs, and besides is prominent
in state politics, and for these reasons
thoroughly understands the political sit
uation and the advantages of concerted
action. He has fine political sagacity and
good judgment from party standpoint,
and is broad enough to yield to reasonable
demands of the other parties who are the
natural allies of the Democracy. And as
he had the forethought to initiate the
movement for fusion in the state COM
mittee he was entitled to the appoint
ment to this important position.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mitchell will
endeavor to secure Immediately meet
ing of the different committees to take
all possible steps to secure complete and
harmonious fusion of all the allied forces
opposed to Hanna Republicanism, and
Of course this Is the proper and ad-
visable thing to do-and at once.

SCHOOL COLOR GUARDS

The board of education, at its meeting
Monday night, adopted the suggestion of
The Herald that color guards be organ
lied from each room of the public schools
in the city, whose duty it shall be to raise
Old Glory each day on the several school
buildings, with appropriate ceremonies.
The color guards will be selected from
among the pupils according to their
standing in their classes and their de-
pertinent. Thus the pleasant duty Of
ilag-raising will be made competitive
among the children and will furnish an
added incentive to patriotism and 10y
atty.
1t is a pleasant commentary upon the
flag situation that, according to report
made to the board. only two or three
school rooms in the city are without the

THEY MAKE IT PARTISAN

Senator Chandler's early and impas-
stoned declaration that this is to be Re-
publican war is confirmed by the partisan
attitude of the administration through
out, and by the unfolding of events.
Every bill providing for the sinews of war
has been referred to a partisan COM
mittee of the house, either Dingley's or
Cannon's, and reported back, without
giving the opposition members oppor-
tunity to debate its provisions or offer
amendments.
This was true Of the resolution de-
claring war against Spain.
This was true of the bill appropriat-
ing fifty millions Of dollars, and placing
it in the hands of the president, without
conditions.
This was true of the bill appropriating
thirty-six millions of dollars for emerg-
ency war expenses.
This was true of the army reorganiza-
tion bill.
This was true Of the bill enlarging
the roll Of rear admirals.
This was true of the bill creating new
major generalships.
The president has sent stump speech
to congress, labeled message, in which
he adroitly claims for the administration
the credit for Admiral Dewey's victory
In Asiatic waters.
General Miles has advised the valorous
General Mosby that he can secure COM
mission to fight the battles of his cnun-
try only by bringing Influence" to bear
upon the president In his behalf.
Republican clubs have elected Dewey
an honorary member, Republican or
gans have claimed him as their own,
and Republican senators have gone into
print with certificates of the orthodox
political status of the hero Of Manila.
The recognition of the Cuban. govern
ment was defeated because 1t was a
Democratic contention.
The Cuban government will soon be rec
ognized as a distinctive Republican
policy.
Democrats, Silver Republicans and
Populists are expected to vote unques-
tioningly for every measure proposed by
the majority for the prosecution of the
war. under penalty Of being branded
as copperheads and traitors, while the
yeomanry are to carry the guns at the
front and pay the taxes in the rear, with
out murmur.
Such Is the administration program.

The following exercises will be oh
served in raising the flag by the colo
guard each day, according to the resolu
tion introduced by Director Bartlett ant
adopted by the board:
F'irst-In every public school of this
city there shall be formed company.
which shall be known as the color
guard.
Second-Recognizing the fact that
department is one of the most import
ant attributes Of our social life, and the
greatest recommendation for a true
soldier. it is hereby suggested that the
color guard shall be made up of the
children who rank highest In deport-
ment in their respective rooms, begin
ming with the third grade. and who
shall be appointed to the guard by their
respective teachers every Friday after
noon for the coming week; and they
shall hold that position until some 9TH
er scholar shall rank higher in deport-
ment.
Third-It shall be the duty Of the
guard to care for the colors. to furl and
unfurl them as hereinafter noted.
Fourth-The boy appointed from the
highest class of the school shall have
charge and act as captain of the guard
in the morning, and the senior girl of
the same class in the afternoon.
Fifth-when school is called in the
morning. at the first tap of the bell the
color guard will assemble in the prin-
cipals office, where colors are kept, and
form in two lines. boys and girls as
equally divided as possible, and they
will display the colors between the
lines, each line holding the outer edge.
all facing toward exit of room and
ready to march.
Sixth-At school bell they will march
quickly to the position from which the
colors are run up and attach them to
the color line.
Seventh-At third bell the colors are
Immediately run up and made fast.
The color guard Is then dismissed, and
they Immediately 60 to their respective
rooms.
Eighth-Ten minutes before school
closes in the afternoon the color guard
members, if not otherwise detained,
shall assemble in the main hall, and,
under the orders as provided in section
4, march to where the colors are
brought down, unfurl them and careful

prepared for them, after which the
guard is dismissed.

OF conquest have wrecked many a nation
In the past. What effect will such
achievements have upon the American
mind? The policy to be pursued in regard
to Cuba has been distinctly defined by
a congressional resolution and the SOL
emn declarations Of the president. but
in regard to the Philippines 1t has in
nowise been declared. except in orders to
the commander Of the Asiatic squadron.
Hence the solution. OF the Philippine

Murwumpery Up to Date

Harvard is showing in this crisis the po-
litical character which has been given to
her by President Eliot, for several years
past the most active politician Of all his
university contemporaries. Her professors
are merely practicing mugwumpery in Its
new form. We see now in this remnant of
the old anti-American crowd the same inn
pulse to jeer at congress and the govern
ment of the United States, the same long
ing to exalt the methods Of other countries,
the same habit of looking upon the Ameri-
can people as wrong and upon the foreign
ers as right, the same antagonism to the
country's traditional sentiment and the
same sneer at the bearers of the lag.-New
York Sun.

SUGGESTION TO THE PoPULIsTs

At the last meeting Of the Democratic
state central committee at San Francisco,
a committee Of five was appointed to
confer with representatives from the
Populist and Silver Republican parties
concerning the plan of campaign for the
have appointed a similar committee.
while the Populists have already called
their state convention, to meet at Sacra-
mento July 18th.
The Herald does not assume to dictate
to it's Populist friends the manner of
conducting their campaign, but mas
much as the three parties have one
great principle-the free coinage of sill
ver-in common, 1t may not be out of
place to offer one or two suggestions re-
garding the plan and policy to be fol-
lowed.
The United States is engaged in active
hostilities against foreign country, and
the war is practically the sole topic of
interest and discussion. 1t is an ex-
tremely inopportune time to do politics,
and in an important year like the present
one the friends Of silver can afford to
throw away no opportunities nor give any
advantage to their opponents. To in
ject politics into the present situation
would do more harm than good, and a
convention in the fore part Of July means
a campaign begun several weeks earlier.
1t would be the part of wisdom for the
Populists to defer holding their state
convention until early in September for
this, if for no other reason. 1t is possible
that the war may be we'll out of the
way by that time, and the people will
be much more inclined to turn their at
tention to politics.
SHOULD the Populists adopt this course
it would be an act Of fairness and cour-
tesy for the Democrats and Silver Repub-
licans to hold their state convention at
the same time and place. This would af-
ford the greatest opportunity to make
such arrangements as will best serve the
silver cause and prove satisfactory to
the three parties that are working for
free coinage. The campaign would still
be long enough.

PROBLEM OF THE PHILIPPINES

Should our troops. be sent to- the Phil
ippines, as is now the intention, and un-
less Cuba is earlier invaded. it will be the
first instance Of American troops being
sent to a country outside the continent
on a war mission. 1t will be a signal
event from its novelty, not alone because
the destination is beyond the continent.

armies have invaded Canada and Mexico.
which are contiguous to our own territory
Asiatic peoples have heard of American
warships, but our vessels have never
been numerous enough in Oriental waters
to make very deep impression. The
presence of an American army in their
section of the world will be new II not
startling to them, and Europeans will
in American policy. AS a war measure
1t is justifiable. but the serious question
is will it be the incipient step toward
fixed future policy which may involve
US in Asatic complications, and be
fraught with consequences which are
now inconceivable?
The invasion Of Cuba is quite another
affair. That island is but few hours
sail from our coast-so near, that 1t Is
not great stretch Of the imagination
to believe that 1t was separated from the
mainland at the time Of the submergence
Of the mythical Atlantis. Cuba Is so
close that it will not be very expensive
nor inconvenient to lay hand on her,
in case it becomes necessary to enforce
peace and order and a stable govern
ment. But the case with the Philippines
Is vastly different, for they are. situated
on the other side of a broad ocean, and
are chiefly peopled by a race widely
different from the European.
At some time the war with Spain
will come to an end. and in the final treaty
Of peace the status of the Philippines will
be determined. They will either be re-
stored to Spain, placed in the hands Of the
tnsurgent government or retained by us.
II the last is the outcome, we will be in
opposition where we can hardly hold on or
let 60. The question will be which course
will be the least dangerous? If we retain
them we will be responsible to the world
for their government; we will be- bound
to enforce a condition of peace, order
and stability of government, and among
a people most unfit to render aid in such
an undertaking. If we let go, what then
will become of the islands? Whittier
will they float? 1t has been suggested
that we sell them to Japan or England,
and apply the proceeds to indemnifying
US for. the expenses incurred in the war.
This again will be new departure, for
the United States has never ceded terri
tory to any country, beyond what may
have been done in settling boundary dis
putes. 1t has been our policy to acquire
only territory on the continent, and in
every case, except one, acquisitions have
been contiguous to what We already pos
sesscd.

be an event OF great moment in our his

Result of Overculture

Like the professors of Harvard college,
who denounce the war as causeless and un-
righteous. 1t is men of superior intellectual
attainments-with good many grand ex-
ceptions. to be sure-that constitute the
tory element in this war. 1t is a case OF
overculture. The artificial cultivation of
the intellect has weakened the natural
sense Of the relation of things. The refine
ments of logic. of theory, of speculation,
have usurped the place of those impulses
which move men of less delicate training.
Technical doubt takes the place Of the i'm
pulse of straitforward common sense

California's Gain

California will be substantially benefited
by the cessation Of imports from Spain.
Most Of the commodities which this coun-
try has been buying from Spain come into
the United States in competition with
California products. Fruits and nuts COM
prise the most important items, consti-
tuting In value considerably rOre than
half Of the total agricultural purchases.
After fruits and nuts the products Of great
est value is wine. These items form about
s. per cent Of the imported agricultural
matter-San Diego Tribune

European statesmen and authorities
