THE CAMPAIGN IN SAN JOSE.


 n MONO the features of the campaign in San \ Jose which may be reasonably accounted as harbingers of victory for the people and good government one of the most salient IS the fact that the gang have been forced to conceal themselves much possible during the contest and put in the forefront of the battle of respectablefaced dunn mics to win favor for them under the title of "Bus ness Mems Ticket"
 It Is clever and the name selected for the masquerade is good one. Fortunately 1t will de ceive no intelligent voter in San Jose. Behind the fgureheads displayed to the public the presence of the gang bosses is evident everybody for that par tcuar gang could make still hunt if it tried It could not go snipe-hunting without taking brass band along. Their presence being known, the title at the head of the procession will not delude any Everybody in Santa Clara County understands what is meant when the gang announces that 1t is out for business"
 Another good sign of the approaching emancpa- ton of the Garden City is the bitterness displayed by the islander mongers of the gang. Ordinarily these islanders by bitter. The gang uses strong words and coarse words, but generally the tone shows no ohense is meant and that the talk is for wind and not for blood. In this campaign, how ever the sanderers rabid Their splutter of venom is thrown right and left about the city like froth from the mouth of a mad dog It is evident they cornered and that there is nothing left for them but resort to tactics which their opponents will scorn follow and in which therefore, they will have seeming success, at least qualification of their malice
 The best harbingers of success for the supporters of good government and local improvement, however, the they have adopted and the ticket they have nominated. These worth to them than all the ofenses their opponents have com mitted If the gang more respectable than 1t s if 1t had with cunning sent its brass band out of town during the campaign if it had concealed with skill its manipulation of the dummies, il it had talked with less winking about "business if it had made cleaner and abler fight it would still have little chance of success against combination like that which is working for the complete over throw of boss rule in the city and the establishment of the municipal government upon basis ot honesty, progress and improvement. Victory may be expected for the taxpayers of San Jose because 1t has been de served.

IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTY

C AN FRANCISCO is called upon to-day to
 mourn the loss of brave man who died III her D service for the protection of her people. The death of Police Lieutenant Burke in the effort to arrest man armed with a revolver and animated by murderous mania was in the fullest sense the death of hero in the performance of duty. He knew the danger that confronted him, yet he did not shrink He went manfully to face the peril and save others from the rage of the maniac. His courage and fidelity displayed in the supreme hour grace his death and give to 1t impressiveness which will not be overlooked by the people whom he so Loyalty served
 Under any circumstances the death of such a man would be all occasion for general sorrow. Lieuten- ant Burke was one of the most popular well of the most honored members of police Uni ormy courteous well strictly upright in all his dealings with every class of the community he the type of the guardian of the law that the people delight to honor. He was never snlirched by scandal His honesty, like his courage was undoubted. His career was honorable himself and will remain proud memory to his relatives, his friends and his comrades of the force.
 It is sad indeed that such a man should be lost to the community in the very prime of his life by reason of the freak of an infuriated madman San Fran cisco can i'll afford such losses Nevertheless con solaton is be found in the fact that the memory of the hero will remain as a tradition to ncite the emulation of brave men hereafter The hero died in the faithful performance of dangerous duty and no hope to find a nober or worthier death than that.

ENGLAND AND HAWAII.

THE Chronicle admits that the reference to Brit
 ish designs i'll the report accompanying the joint
 \ resolution to annex Hawaii 'ill consid- cred" but asserts that England abstains only while annexation to the United States is pending The ar gunnent is then made that if fail to annex the islands we lose right of protest against their transfer to any other power, and II England take them we cannot take issue with her
 The cause must be desperate that requires such CO., quetting with misrepresentation. England and France have treaty standing since November 28, I843, recognizing the independence of Hawaii and engaging never take possession, either directly under the title of protectorate under any other form of any part of Hawaiian territory"
 If the United States were off the map England would have to answer to France, and, under the Franco Russian alliance to Russia aso for any at tempt to violate that treaty.
 The Chronicle seems to know what "the respon- sbe citizens of Hawaii are after and declares that 1t is stable government. Inasmuch as these sponsble citizens, by the help of warship Boston, rebeled against and overthrow a stable government under form that gave to the islands their highest prosperity their present longings be taken as confession that they have proved incapable of restor- ing the stability which they destroyed Their organ also says that they want strong power to pro- tect them against native emeutes, because now to protect themselves, they must stay under arms at great expense, which is "a condition that does not make for business, commerce and island develop ment"
 Indeed This, then, is the republic of which we have heard so much. The Chronicle should know that when minority of per cent of people by force overthrow a government and establish its ruins the rule of minority, that minority can only maintain itself by staying under To make its own crimes and mistakes, its tyranny, disranchse- of electors and rank nsgovernment the reasons for pitful appeal to some strong nation to to its help is ridiculous the plea of the man who had murdered his parents when he asked the court to be merciful to him, for he an orphan.
 Suppose that the Dole oligarchy try the experiment of restoring the people their stolen franchise and the citizenship it took away and abandoning minority government, submit itself to the pop ular will and how that will work Let put justice in the place of force and arms and threats and let the qualified electors whom 1t found free and voters and reduced to serfdom on their soil have voice in the government set over them and if then they life and property 1t will be time to call for the interference of strong Government
 Annexation is on its last legs It is off its feet entirely, and the exhibition of straw-stufed British lion in the act of swallowing the sandwich which we reject will bring it back within the focus Of possibilities.

TO TRAIN OR NOT TO TRAIN

C EVERAL lessons may be drawn from the
 careers of prize-fghters who do us the honor - of being in midst Here is Peter Jackson, only few years ago a powerful man, knocked out of time and pugilism by few thumps It is said of Peter that he neglected himself, that he drank whisky that he lived high the inference being that had he not done these things he would still be fit to enter the ring.
 On the other hand, the case of Choynsli leads to a different conclusion. Much younger than Jackson, he seems to be a complete wreck, and yet he has for years kept himself i'll the state known as "beng Ill condition" It appears to have exhausted his vital forces effectively diet of pie washed down with alcoholic drenches.
 It may be noticed that most men who make fight ing their business die at early age. No system of self preservation be devised which can offset the unnatural strain placed on the body by the training itself Added to this is the receipt of blows designed to jar loose the kidney, parayze the heart or batter the solar plexuS into a concave wreck Amateurs who confne themselves to the modest punching of bag which does not hit back very hard may suffer nothing by ndulgng in the exercise, although they apt to do themselves more harm than good.
 Yet there is occasion to repne that the average prize-fghter dies young He does not do this be- he is good. When in the ring he is so apt to be nuisance with leaning toward vagrancy that he can be called hence without causing any wide spread pang.

A strong effort is being made to bring Josef Hofmann to San Francisco this season and musical people are hoping that the arrangements will not fall through at the last minute, as arrange ments with other artists have so often done. Had Sherman & Clay's Hall been large enough Hofmann would have played there, but the young mans man. agers waAt a theater, as they expect to draw regular Paderewsh houses. He has already called forth more hysterical demonstrations in New York than the in- teresting Paderewski aroused, and hys- terical demonstrations, however annoying at the time, portend big houses. When Josef Hofmann was a little boy he was asked whether he liked being an infant phenomenon and answered childishly: II like playing very much, but l wish all the ladies would not want to kiss me" Josef may think differently now.

BOUND TO LEAD THE WORLD.

A French statesman has recently com piled some figures which are interesting as showing two things-that the world is getting more commercial every day, and that the United States is rapidly forging to the head of the column of commercial nations. Since 1850 the exports of the ten leading nations of the world, according to this statistican, have increased from $1 ,61S, ,O00 900 to S6,465, ,000, 900. The exports of this nation have increased so rapidly that if they continue to enjoy the same ratio of increase the day is not distant, it is claimed, when they will nearly equal Englands. s. Sir Joseph Ackland made the assertion not long since that with peace and a right economic policy the United States was bound to be the first commer- Cial nation on earth.

THE RIDDLE OF THINGS THAT ARE. We walk in a world where no man reads
 The riddle of things that are.- From tiny fern in the valleys heart
 To the light of the largest star,- Yet we know that the pressure of Life is nara
 And the silence of Death is deep, As fall and rise the tangled way
 That leads to the gate of Sleep. We know that the problems of Sin and Palns
 And the passions that lead to crime, Are the mysteries locked from age to ass
 Tn the awful vault of Time;- Yet we lift our weary feet and strive
 Through the mre and mist to grope And find ledge on the mount of Faith

that despite their frantic efforts to
