OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

JAR by its impressive object lessons is teaching | \N| the American people that in years past they
 have been guilty of many serious sins of omls- sion nation. We now clearly perceive that we have been not economical but parsimonous and wastefu in providing for the construction of the Nicaragua canal the extension of the navy the en- largement of the army, the effective organlza- tion of the National Guard and last, but by no means least, the expansion and upbuidng of our merchant marine
 In the present emergency the skill of our naval constructors by building battleshps capable ot mak- ing the voyage around the Horn in speedy time has enabled us to the lack of the interoceanic canal The comparative weakness and inertness of the foe renders our small navy sufficient for the de- fense of our coast and the conquest of Spanish colo nes. The response of the young men of the nation to the call for volunteers is rapidly making up for the smalness of the regular army. There IS nothing, however, that makes up for the lack of merchant marine commensurate to our size as natlon Ships cannot be built in day, and result in our need for transports we have been compelled to admit for egn ships to American registry in order to dispatch an army to the aid of Dewey at Manila.
 The lesson of war on this subject confirms what has long been taught by that of peace For years we have been paying costly tribute to foreign coun- tries to carry our commerce The ample balances | Ot trade favor, shown Dy cOfnpdrlSOn or exports with imports, have been seriously reduced every year by the drain of money required to pay foreign shipowners for freight on both the exports and the imports. What costly in times of peace is more costly in war, because of higher marine in- surance, and the need of enlarged merchant ma rne therefore impressive this year than
 An extensive system of subsidies other form of governmental aid is essential to the shipping n- terests of any nation in these days Great Britain France, Germany Italy, Russia and even Japan tend strong and farreaching aid to both their ship builders and their shipowners. It is by this aid they have established their commerce upon the sea- and 1t is not too much to say that if either of them withdrew the favor 1t gives to its shipping the flag of that nation would soon disappear from the commercial ports of the world.
 American merchants and shpbuilders are as enter prising and full of resources any other of great captains of industry They have accomplished much in the face of the competition of European shipping liberally fostered and promoted by govern mental aid. They cannot, however, do everything needs of the country in peace until our Gov ernment is as wise those of Europe in promoting the creation and maintenance of one. The experi- ence of the last few weeks in getting transports for respect and Congress should not adjourn until some thing has been done to place shipowners on an equal footing with foreign competitors.

ANOTHER POLITICAL PARaPHRASE

l HE approach of the campaign brings from the l Democratic hosts growl of anger as they find
 that the local organization of the party has fallen into the hands of Bosses McNab, Gould and Al ford, with the probable addition of Chris Buckley. The fact that these men, ii left undsturbed, will name the State delegation and municipal convention-thus dctating the local ticket and the membership of one fourth of the Democratic State Convention-has caused much dsmay be felt in the party throughout the State.
 The Democracy is to be congratulated upon the signs of revolt produced by the autocratc action of these political brgands. They show that the spirit of liberty is not dead i'll the party We do not speak from the standpoint of partisan but from that of an honest admirer of pure politics who has never at tempted to knock the railroad out of $Iooo month contract for advertising"
 From partisan standpoint we think nothing could be better for the Republicans than to have the Demo- cratic party in the hands of the Republican rene gade McNab, and the verdant Gould and Afford. These bosses have votes and no organization. True, they have taken possession of the Democratic machinery of this city, but there are many signs that in doing so they in control of nothing but the shadow of the party. No better proof could be ad- duced of this than the fact that they afraid to hold a primary or in any other way give their people a chance to express themselves Conscience makes towards of us all. Whispering" McNab's con- science tells him that were he once to submit his scheme to the people it would be knocked into a cooked hat.
 We do not know how the Democrats going to get their party machine out of the hands of the little band of political hghwaymen who have captured it. The law offers them remedy The bosses and corporations have attended to that There Is but thing for them to do and that to set up howl for open primary and the ballot boxes try cusons with Boss McNab's plug uglies. Yet in such contest they would have little hope for they would be fighting an enemy who knows more tricks and has fewer scruples than they. They can place no reliance the Democratic State Committee, for McNab Afford and Gould have already captured that body
 The Democratic party has men in 1t who com mand the respect and confidence of the of the party. There whose known in the business and professional world who would rep resent the majority of the party instead of the little minority that has command. Such men could doubtless be got to take upon themselves the labor of managing the party affairs through campaign. But 1t cannot be done with the consent of the gang that is in power-"W Whispering" Gavin McNab, Slough City" Gould and "Tenderfoot" Afford

THE LIES OF DIPLOMACY.

Russian diplomats hold that 1t is no disgrace or dishonor to lie In the most un- blushing manner in order to promote the interests in their country and of their sov- ereign. When the late CZar asked once of Count Ignatieff how he came to be nicknamed "The Father of Lies" while Ambassador at Constantinople, he, with a low bow, responded, Tn the service of your Majesty"
 Count Mouravieff, the Minister of For eign Affairs at St. Petersburg, is worthy of the same nickname as Ignatieff This is shown on the most extraordinary and incontrovertible manner by the Blue Book just published in London of the negotia- tions between the Count and the English Ambassador, Sir Nicholas O'Connor, rela- tive to the Chinese question.
 Sir Nicholas lost the game, but he lost It. as the document shows, by putting his trust in the word and in the honor of the former days, when they were both mere secretaries of legation and junior mem bers of that species of close corporation known as the diplomatic corps.'
 The pock-marked, bald-headed count, to whom pleasure has always been a duty and duty a pleasure, has won for his masterManchuria and two Chinese ports: : but he has won 1t at the cost of his per- Sonal honor, and no foreign statesman will ever care to trust this bejeweled and interruptions statesman, whose cynicism, artistic boredom and ld-bloodedness are largely responsible for his extraordinary successes. both in his official career and with thesfair sex-W ashington Post.

HOW STOCKTON WAS c1NcHED

The unenviable notoriety given the City Council of Stockton by the San Franci ;co Call on ac count of the attempt to discredft the product of the State rock crushing establishment at Folsom will not be reished very much by the co'lncil, but the people of the city who have street improvements to make and have paid unnecessarily a high price for rock out of private quarries will be inclined to commend The Call. Those residents of the city who have intelligently watched the street Improvements know that the great difficulty with the macadamiZed streets has not been in the quality of the rock but in the manner of grading the street, preparing the foundation ana crowning or turnpiking the finished road way. The fault has been primarily with the specifications and secondarily Tn the failure to live up to them in practice. The roadways are too fiat and do not turn the rain. The first essential of every road, whether of stone, gravel or dirt, is, to have 1t well crowned or rounded so that no moisture will stand on the road. The streets of Stockton might do in the Sou dan, where there is not even a dew Stockton Independent.

AUCTION SALES
FIRST WITH THE NEWS.

n rule The Call is willing to let its news from / \ the seats of war commend itself That this news is more complete, correct and up to date than that of any other paper in the West is fact which all must acknowledge, and which all but the other papers do acknowledge cheerfully.
 To revert to a recent illustration cannot be a breach of modesty. That Aguinaldo had declared the Philippines independent was published in these columns Saturday. Local sheets spurred to idea Monday morning As to the arrival of American troops at Santiago, they managed to get the news, but do so had to draw upon the cables forwarded by the Herald-Call syndicate. By some unwonted touch of decency the Examiner in printing this gave credit to the source. With every intent to permit the devil to have his due this mitigating fact is toned Still, it is far from being justification of the act of larceny The news was copyrighted, and for the Examiner to take it was to steal.
 We have rerained also, from attaching to the staff the crowned heads of Europe the Ministers of Spain and lot of yellow liars. We confess freely the ina biy to print the nmost thoughts of the Vatican, that Bismarck IS not payroll, that the Kaiser does not make of The Call an especial conidant and never routed any of representatives out of bed for the purpose of painting him picture of the war cloud All this palpable and pang nonsense is left to such saffron freaks as the Examiner The Call is content to print the news to print it first and or dnary to say nothing about the daily task of scooping the other papers They realize the defeat, and there is little utility in rubbing it in'
