Peace Commissioner Davis.

Minnesota will, in all probability,
have the honor of contributing a mem
Der Of the American commission which
will meet a Spanish commission for the
settlement Of peace terms. Senator
Cushman K. Davis, of ST. Paul, has
been proffered a commissionership by
President Mckinley, and has the mat
ter under consideration, although he
has not yet accepted. 1t goes without
saying that Mr.. Davis is amply quail
flied to discharge the duties Of this
office and that he will shirk none Of
it's responsibilities.
If we understand the attitude Of
Senator Davis correctly, the lingo and
rabid imperialist will not derive a vast
amount Of comfort from his presence
on the commission. In way he de-
fined his views upon the Philippine
question in an interview printed in
The b e on July 80. We reproduce
his words for the benefit of whole

Senator Davis was asked what length of
time the American troops might be expected
to remain in the Philippines in the event Of
restoration Of those islands to Spain,
we ought to have coaling station there, :"
said the senator. "And by a coaling station
do not mean a heap of coal on a dock A
coaling station means American colony
and ship yards and dry docks, and that means
sufficient number of troops to maintain our
authority there
The Philippines cover an area as
large as New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland. Not even an
English inlperialist would have the
nerve to insist that such stretch of
territory answers the senator's descrip-
ton Of coaling station. The truth is

clined to believe that Minnesota's rep
resentative will contribute to its correct
solution.

It appears that at an elementary examina-
ton in English which was lately held in a
school near New York two sentences were
given out to be corrected by the younger
scholars. The first sentence was to be cor
rected as to it's subject matter, and the Sec
ond sentence as to its syntax. These were
the sentences:
1.-THE hen has three legs"
WHO done it,"
When the papers were handed In 1t was
found that one OF the examines had ap-
parent.y regarded the sentence as subtly con-
nected in thought, for his answer was as
follows:

THE UNIVERSITY COMPETITION.

HE issue of an invitation to the architects of
 the world to cooperate in the preparation of a permanent general plan of buildings and grounds for the University of California serves to call public attention at the beginning of the new year to the lofty hopes and noble purposes of the trustees and friends of that institution
 It is most appropriate that the invitation should be issued just at this time. It will be another for the world give consideration to California at this period when her prospects are most bright and her attractions to home seekers and investors most promising. The material advantages of the State are set forth prominently in many ways at this june ture, and it is fortunate that the great plans of the university are made known also in order that the world may understand that California has aspirations for learning and art well for wealth and bus- ness.
 It is not worth while attempting to forecast the results likely to be obtained by the competition It is sufficient know that no better plan could be de- vised to accomplish that which the trustees aim and what every patriotic Californian desires From an artistic contest in which so many eminent masters take part it is fair assumption we shall gain group of buildings sufficiently original in mass and detail to constitute of the notable architectural triumphs of the world.
 The terms under which the competition is to be conducted calculated to excite the emulation of
 
 pctitors and promise rich rewards in the way of en- hanced reputation to all who are successful. The contest will be particularly attractive young of talent and ambition who striving to win a name for themselves and to demonstrate their ability to~compose edifces of more than ordinary dignity and magnitude
 The grandeur of the idea involved Tn this plan for arranging the permanent edifces of the university is in harmony with the greatness of the State Cali fornla IS Tn many respects empire within herself. The possibilities of her destiny permit her to become within time comparatively short the leading com monwealth of the Union and one of the most re- nowned regions of the world.
 We have reason to aspire to a culture peculiarly cur own, distinct in tone if not different in nature from that of any other land. The foundations oi that culture will be at the two universities that have been already so well endowed. It is therefore fitting that each of them should be magnifcently housed and this is particularly true of that which bears the name of the State Great hopes go out with the in- .itations sent to the architects of the world and along with those hopes should go a resolve on the part of Californians to make right of the best plans the world give by living up to them and | hastening the completion of the edifces designed.

SENATOR PERKINS AND ANNEXATION

NI UGH has been said and sung recently to keep
 up the waning courage of the annexation ists, but it is all nullifed and vacated by the very frank admissions of Senator Perkins He de- cares the treaty oredoomed, though he supports it, and IS firm in his conviction that the joint resou ton plan rankly unconstitutional that it cannot pass Indeed he informed by several supporters of the treaty that they will oppose the joint resolution Ii is imperative that this country take advantage of the situation created in the East by the presence of the European powers and their jealous contention the Chinese carcass Their disposition and their necessities make them all subject to policy for the independence and neutrality of Hawaii.
 Senator Perkins knows clearly and approves every reason against annexation, and he knows with equal intelligence the reasons for the independence and autonomy of that country California would advance to very proud position in the Union ii Senator Per kins would prepare action for the Senate instructng the President to proceed with statement of our policy toward Hawaii giving notice to the world that we abstain from aggrandzement there and that
 like absention is expected of the other nations, and that any different policy the part of any of them will be regarded as unfriendly and intolerable
 Such action would be not only statesmanship of the first order, but 1t would also regain national prestige people not only free but juSt and would secure for us just the only honorable promi- hence we can possibly enjoy. Wnile Europe stands with carving knife over China and the four powers are disputing the prospective spells may be distinguished by appearing with stolen birthright in our possession.
 Ii Senator Perkins could take the leadership in this policy California would everywhere gain prestige that would advance her interests and dignity her people.
 This State should not appear to always follow some other lead. The position of Hawaii affects us more than any other part of the Union. majority of our people oppose annexation. A very large ma ority of them object to Senator Morgans offensive assumption of ownership or leadership of California
 Then let our Republican Senator lead and can assure him he will have the people at his back.

THE JUBILEE PARADE.

ILL people who take an interest in the Golden I*\ Jubilee and the mining exposition to follow \ 1t expect San Francisco to make the grand parade a feature of notable briancy and beauty As the pageant precedes the opening of the exposition the fame oi 1t sent abroad will have much effect in forming first impressions concerning the exposition itself and for that reason for none other the peo pie of the city should see to 1t that the parade is made imposing and impressive in every particular
 A pageant of the kind required for the occasion cannot be provided without money The United States is rapidly becoming country of grand par ades. Without counting the Inarvels accomplished at New Orleans and St Louis in affairs of this kind there are a whole hosto parades presented to the people every year In California itself there are sev eral Of these annual pageants that have become nota- ble. The country, therefore, has high standard by which to judge Of such matters and it is not going to be an easy task for San Francisco to achieve something that willy applause as genuine triumph .-:.. .:... :.. .: -. .:....-: :.>~
 Money for the grand parade is needed and should be forthcoming without delay: The directors of the enterprise are compelled to.work rapidly and decide promptly what is to. be done. They have not the ample time of full year in which to make prepara- tions is the case in annual parades in other cities The time at their disposal counted by days not by months and prompt contributions are therefore es- sental to their work

The pageant will be the special entertainment we are to provide for those who accept our invitation to join with us in tle: celebration. Our civic patriotism is at stake We celebrate the great discovery and open the exposition with pageant that will add to the prestige of our city.
