PACIFIC OCEAN COMMERCE.

AMES J. HILL, president of the Great North
81 Railroad, who for time past has been
~ making careful study of Pacific Ocean com
merce, has, although Democrat, reached the con-
cuson that the Republican party is right in advo-
eating the adoption by the Government of policy
designed to promote American shipping interests.
This conclusion he has announced in recent inter
views, and not long ago. in an address at st. Paul,
he made it the theme of elaborate and notable
speech, backing it with arguments OF ndisputable
validity and strength.
Mr. Hill began by pointing out that the Pacific
Ocean offers this time better field for American
shipping enterprise than the Atlantic for the
that while Atlantic commerce is carried by steam
ferries leaving almost every hour of the day from one
side the other OF the Atlantic Ocean,, there is on
the Pacific comparative freedom from that exces-
siye competition. Moreover, beyond the Pacific
there is enormous market awaiting our products,
and that market is OF vast importance to us
At the present time Great Britain is virtually the
only foreign consumer OF our wheat, cotton and raw
material generally and we have to sell in competition
with all other producing countries in the Liverpool
market at the price offered there By establishing
adequate transportation facilities between Pacific
Coast and the Orient would find in Asia market
for all American food products west of the Rocky
Mountains and thus save the Pacific Coast producers
from having to compete with Eastern producers in
the markets of Great Britain.
1t is clear that until we have sufficient ships to
carry produce to Asatic ports we cannot profit
by the increasing demand there for goods. Nor
these ships be constructed and operated proably
without some form OF protection from the Govern
ment. The merchant marine of other great CONNER
cial nations is aided by liberal subsidies and it is in
vain that American ships, unaided and unprotected
have attempted to compete with them. Thus it is
that the absence of legislation favorable to the
ocean going ships of the country has prevented
merchant marine from advancing rapidly other
great American industries
AS to the advantages to be gained from the extern
sion of our Pacific Ocean commerce, Mr.. Hill said
eff the surplus wheat from the Pacific Coast were
carried Asia in place Of being carried to Europe
and there compete with the agricultural products of
the States east of the Rocky Mountains, you would
advance the price of wheat from to cents a
bushel 1t would reduce the exports to Europe from
one hundred million to sixty seventy million
bushels year.
The evil effect of having only the European market
for our produce has long been evident to all stu
dents of our commercial and industrial problems
Mr. Hill has outlined the true remedy. The nation
needs an extension of Pacific Ocean commerce, and
10 achieve that it has only to provide for the up
building of the American merchant marine this
coast

THE SITUATION AT FHSHODA.

u RITISH and French dealings with one another
X at Fashoda have of the elements OF
- comic opera, some of sound common sense,
and some OF the truest chvalry Two armed forces
engaged in struggle for conquest and dominion
meet at strategic point of vast importance, but in
stead of fighting they merely one another to
retire, and then both proceed to camp on the dis
puted field and to act if they had met for picnic
rather than a fight.
The chvarous touch to the situation given in the
recent report that the British have furnished the
French with the food which they are now living
1t appears that Marchand, the commander of the
French force, in his haste to reach Fashoda before
the British, had neglected to provide supplies ample
to maintain himself and was in such sore straits
when the British arrived that he would have been
compelled to retire had they not furnished him with
provisions. To the daring Frenchman therefore the
coming OF Kitchener's advance guard was something
more like the arrival of relief expedition than of
hostile force.
The French and the British at Fashoda are now
virtually drinking out of the same canteen They are
drawing their supplies from the same store. They
naturally feel for another the synpathies of civil
lzeo men meeting IN the desert and surrounded by

Paris. They living friends, and it depends
upon Others to decide whether they shall part that
way or be set to fighting before they separate
Fortunately for both parties there is little proba-
bility of war. The concert of Europe has not been
very potent in dealing with problems for the solution
of which action is required, but it has managed very
successfully all that could be arranged by nonaction
1t has been peace preserver of great merit and IS
likely to break down at this juncture. The situa-
ton at Fashoda is too good comedy to be spoiled
by converting it into tragedy.

1T WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH-N.
N, City. When James G. Mcguire in one
of his speeches said: "Our forefathers in

simply used a figure of speech that has
frequently been used by other speakers.

PLAYING CASINo-Mrs. r.. City In
the game of casino the count is as fol-
lows: Cards, spades, big casino, little
casino and aces. Apply that rule
to the game and you will determine who
goes out. If at the close of the game A
has three to go and B has five to go, B
should have made cards, spades and aces
and made big and little casino, B would
count first and having made more than
what was wanted would go out. Had B
made but cards and spades and one ace
he would go out, as he would have the
requisite five.
AMMUNITION-Inqu City. AS the.

a MODEL DOCUMENT.

~ MODEL document of its kind is the platform
\ of principles and policies applicable to NUM-
cipa affairs adopted by the Republican conven-
ton 1t is comprehensive in scope and clear and
emphatic in every utterance. There is not an eva
sive plank 1t deals with live issues and is free
from those platitudes Of "glittering generates
which of late years have been so the plat
forms OF all parties. The committee that drew up the
document did the work WE'LL and the convention is to
be congratulated on being so ably served.
In some respects this declaration, coming from the
Republican party, may be regarded marking an
epoch in local politics. It outlines broad scheme OF
municipal Improvement and development, and pro-
poses measures calculated advance the interests not
only of the community whole but OF individuals.
1t is in fact, manifesto in favor OF progress all
along the line, and gives promise OF new era IN the
development OF the city.
Notable among the declarations those pledging
the legislative nominees OF the convention to vote for
the ratification OF the charter by the Legislature,
favoring the ownership by the municipality of all pub
lie utilities pledgng the nominees for Supervisors to
fix water rates at amount which Will yield to the
water company a revenue not exceeding 5 per
cent on its capital stock, to provide for the bet
ter lighting of Streets and to conduct the affairs OF
the municipality with such honesty and economy as
to enable the whole expense to be betrayed by the
revenue derived from tax rate not exceeding 81
on the 500 of assessed valuation not exceeding
$35o,ooo,ooo
Other important portions of the platform declare
for street improvements the elimination from the
public schools of all useless textbooks, daily wage
of not less than So for eight hours work to be stipu
lated in all contracts for public work and that white
labor and California material must be made terms
Of ali public franchises.
The document is in itself, however too concise and
tere To admit of digest 1t should be studied by every
voter. It is unquesonaby the most important poll
teal paper from local point of view, that has been
put forth for many years, and the men who have
been nominated to make the canvass upon it can be
counted on to fulfill its pledges far as lies in their
power the progressive element of the people should,
without regard to party support it and them IN the
interests of a progressive San Francisco.
