sent Of the governed we propose to govern
a race that can never be brought into
touch or sympathy with us. Thus the news
papers give a column to Ex-senator Rea-
gan who declares for annexing the Philip
pines and say: IF l am an imperialist
then Jefferson was an imperialist."
But what fadr- minded man can see par
allel here? Jefferson favored the purchase
of some territory which was not only q
part of our continent but upon which our
people were already swarming as settlers
and planting our institutions. 1t was ter
ritory needed to complete both our geo.
graphical and political autonomy. like all
we have ever taken, and it was for sale in
the open market, and needed for occupation
perclsely as the land east Of the Ohio river
had been taken for settlement. Was this
the same thing as taking the Philippines
with millions Of aliens waging a deadly
civil strife and with institutions absolutely
intolerable to lovers of real democracy
What must be said of a mai who holds such
Views, and yet dares to compare his policy
with that of Thomas Jefferson? Such words
as the ones quoted above would blister the
tongues Of men accustomed to chastened
speech.
But perhaps more Of this another time.

between the. two countries; revision Of
the agreement OF 1877 regarding naval
vessels on the lakes; remarking Of the
frontier between the United States and
Canada: provisions for the conveyance
for trial or punishment of persons in the
lawful custody of officers Of one coun-
try through the territory of the other;
and reciprocity in wreckipg and salvage
rights.
How successful the commission will be
In reaching mutually satisfactory con-
illusions regarding all Of these matters is
problematical. II is certain, however,
that the better understanding that exists
between the two branches Of the English
speaking race will render its mission
much eaiier Of accomplishment. With
q willingness on each side to make lib
cral concessions, and a sincere desire
upon the part OF both to reach accept
able conclusions, much of the labor may
be classed as detail.
+ An Anglo-Saxon alliance may now be
realized. The arbitration treaty may not
be revived. A fast and loose agreement
may never be entered into. But the
need Of these things will not be felt SO
long as theresfs q disposition manifested
by the people Of the two countries to
be friendly and cordial. and to determine
the questions that may from time to
time arise between them on broad prin-
ciples Of right and Justice.

CURIOSITY SATISFIED

1t may not be amiss to supplement thu
our news columns yesterday and today
with bit of bombast, printed by one o.
them some time ago, regarding America
Said the Espania:
1t would be forming very erroneous
idea of the condition of the American
people. and ascribing to 1t strength
which 1t is far from possessing, to ad-
NIT the possibility of so gigantic
struggle as that the United States would
undertake on the day they would dis
charge a shotted gun against Euro
pean vessel. The social organization OF
the United States makes them an asy-
lum for adventurers-not the fatherland
of citizens. They have not that strength
which results from unity. 1t would be
impossible for them to launch into q
maritime or continental war(0. The
United States are more of phantom
than a giant; they will make great
noise but not come to blows. If q
rupture were to take place we should
see how many good admirals and sail-
ors they can count upon: and we should
be edited as to the number, the valor
and skill of their sailors and soldiers.
II is perfectly easy to understand the
wishes and the impatience OF few
hundred filibusters, eager to rush upon
Cula as a rich prey. But apart from
the fact that there Is no reason to ap-
prehend a landing on our coast we are
convinced that the United States gov
eminent will think twice about 1t before
involving itself in war with Spain.
That very much resembles the articles
that appeared in the Espana IN Marcf
and April of the present year, but II
dates further back-even to May ~, 1851
"a little more than forty years ago. 1t
was called out by a dispatch to the Om-
cial Gazette of Madrid from the Duke de
Rivas, Spanish ambassador at Paris, to
the effect that President Buchanan was
about to send message to congress ask
ing it to declare war against Spain.
There was no warrant for the alarm,
but the dispatch had the effect of set
ting the Spanish capital afire.
The Espana has revised its opinion
of the Phantom. 1t weeps today over
the havoc produced by the Giant.

found that the doctrine il wrong In prin-
ciple and the scheme impracticable;
that the single and not the double stand
ard is what is wanted, and that grave
mistake was made by the party In 1896
in demanding the rehabilitation Of silver.
II the Republicans of California so feel.
then that will be the honorable course to
pursue But If they are still as friendly
to silver as they were, they must let the
plank stand or give a reason for their
change of faith. They must either re-
affirm or repudiate the doctrine, for the
omission of any reference to the ques-
ton in the platform will be tantamount
to reimbursement. The plank will. In that
event, stand as the latest declaration OF
their attitude on the money question.
To reaffirm the principle enunciated In
1896 will be manly and honorable. To
ignore the question will be cowardly and
pusillanimous. To repudiate 1t and de-
clare for the single gold standard will
be humiliating. 1t will be equiva-
lent to an unconditional surrender
to the money power. 1t will be a
confession Of subserviency to the Han
mas and the Cages of the gold clique.
1t will be an announcement that the Re-
publicans of California are not the keep
ers of their own consciences; that they
dare not take position upon any great
national question without the consent
of a man who stands before the country
as a bride giver and the embodiment Of
all that is vicious in American political
life.
But the convention may And a way out
of the dilemma. 1t may be able to give
some reasons, that will appeal to the in
telligence of the people Of this state,
why free coinage was safe thing in
1896 and a dangerous thing in 1893
why he put the fur side inside.
Why he put the skin side outside.
Why he turned it inside outside.

THE CONTRACT SIGNED

A special to The Herald from Chicago
says the contract for the construction
of the San Pedro breakwater was signed
last Saturday. The notary in the Office
Of Heldmaier & Neu is authority for the
statement. It could not be verified by
our correspondent. since both members
Of the firm were out of the city
Engineer Davis, 1t will be remembered,
stated to The Herald correspondent at
San Francisco. a few days ago, that the
papers had been sent to Chicago for the
signatures Of the contractors, and that
he expected to have them returned by
the 18th. The semi official statement
which we print this morning therefore,
has the color of probability. It will at
least serve to stimulate confidence until
an official verif1cation can be obtained.
The powder will keep.

REASONING IN A CIRCLE

The extraordinary demand for Ameri-
can wheat, due to the unprecedented
shortage in cereal crops in most Of the
countries dependent upon us for sup
plies, coupled with speculative cor
ner in the product unexampled for mag
nitude. enabled the farmers to realize
on accumulated stocks and the surplus
of last year a price about double the
quotations that would have obtained
under normal conditions. In other words,
the average price Of wheat the past six
months would have been about fifty
cents, but for the famine abroad and
the manipulation Of the market by Jo-
seph Letter. Reports of an increased
yield the present season in this country
and of world surplus, have cut the
upset price in two already. and the quo
tations for wheat and for bar silver are
again about equal.
For five hundred years prior to 1873,
when the full debt-paying function OF
the silver dollar was removed by legis-
lation, the two products kept close COM
pany. They went up together and they
went down together. This is not mere
assertion. 1t is a fact which the inter-
ested or the curious may easily verify.
No bimetallist authority ever asserted
that the relations of the two products
have been necessarily identical since
1873, although to this day an unfair par
tisan press steadily refuses to make the
distinction. Thus did the New York
Evening Press, no later than last week.
make the assertion appended, to-wit:
No more unfortunate argument was
ever brought forward for any cause
than that which linked the prices of
wheat and silver together Adversely
