Pettus sharply criticised the measure and charged that General Corbin had been rapidly promoted by reason of political fa- voIltism. This charge brought several senators to their feet, among whom were Messrs. Bate, Pasco and Bacon, democrats, all of whom testified to General Corbns distinguished ability and fitness for the position he occupied. MT. Sewell, Mir. hale and MT.

Payne, of New York was designated to preside over the house The galleries were filled with mem- bers of the National Educational Associa- ton, now holding it's meetings in this city. MT. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, offered from the committee on ways and means a con- current resolution providing for final ad- journment of congress at o'clock tomor- row. It was passed.
 Then came a perfect storm of appeals to the speaker for recognition from members desiring to secure passage of their bills.
 Incidental to the consideration of pen sion bill MT. Ray Gep. N. YD, occupied an hour with a general speech upon pressing legislation.
 When he concluded MT. Berry (dem. Ky), arose.
 q desire" he began, "to say a word about a resolution to properly recognize Commodore Schley-"
 ''I make the point that the gentleman is not confning himself to the bill.'' quickly interrupted Mir. Ray, while the house ap- plauded freely the commodore'S name.
 After much delay MT. Berry secured the privilege to proceed in order.
 q will say" began MT. Berry, "that will keep pretty close to the bill, but l do not expect to keep close as was Com modore schley to the spanish fleet when he was destroying 1t off Santiago"
 Mr. Ray again made the point or order, and MT. Berry finally resumed his seat and consideration of the pension bill pro- ceeded.
 The Resolution Read

 The senate resolutions extending thanks and directing the giving of medals to Lieutenant F. M. Newcomb and the off, cers and men of the Hundson in the fight at Cardenas and directing the retirement upon full pay of Captain Daniel D. Hodg- son, of the McCulloch, in the Manila battle. were laid before the house. MT. Hepburn asked consent for its consideration, but Mr. Berry objected unless the Schley reso- lutions should be taken up with them. This condition was not conceded and the senate resolutions went over.
 Senate amendments to large number of bills of minor importance were concurrcd in and many pension bills were disposed of The house accepted the provision for an appropriation of s2O0,0Q0 to pay the cost of the transporting of dead American sea men and soldiers to their homes for inter- ment in the discretion of the war depart ment The bill to incorporate the interna- tional American bank was called up, but by unanimous consent is went over to the first Wednesday after congress shall meet in December.

A TROUBLED BOODLER.

I the Mission street Booder has not already an
 advertising contract with the Los Angeles Water Company it is perfectly plain that 1t hopes to get in the future Ever since the expo of the water conspiracy and the syndcated press of the southern city the Boodler has manifested an uneasy grasp upon public affairs. It IS apparent either that it is embarrassed in the execution of agreement by which its true character may again be disclosed to the public, 1t is worrying over the presence of Colonel Mazuma at Los Angeles with its business end 500 miles away.
 In its local columns it is giving the water monop oy and the syndicated press all the aid and comfort it For instance yesterday morning it pub lished an eptome of the Los Angeles Heralds charges against Major H. W. Patton, The Calls cor respondent, and broadly intimated that they were true That this dispatch originated in the offices of the syndcated papers is unquestionable. That the Boodler hopes get paid for 1t in way fairly inferable from its tone Throughout it breathes sym pathy for the water consprators and the syndicated press and hostility for The Call and the champions of the people of Los Angeles
 Our readers will recall that the Boodler's "adver- Using" contract with the Southern Pacific was for editorial silence Ii 1t has similar contract with the Los Angeles Water Company it has observed its covenants, for the Boodler has nerer said a word editorally about the plans of that corporation But
 
 Boodler could longer keep quiet regarding South Pacific affairs. Then it repudiated its contract and sacrificed the SSooo still due for its thirty months of silence If the Boodler has an advertising con tract with the Los Angeles Water Company evil dently 1t does not think opportune moment for getting increase of subsidy has arrived. Thus far has stood in the monopoly side of the fight and maintained editorialy masterly silence. If has contract it may think the meager aid and com fort il is rendering and the silence it is maintaining will induce the monopoly to advertise Indeed it IS quite certain that unless the water manipuators hire the Boodler advocate their cause pretty soon even Colonel Mazuma will desert them The colonel IS not distinguished for his courage. Unless he is supported he will not fight
 One thing however, may be set down as settled; either the Booder has contract with the Los An geles Water Company is looking for one In the nature of things shall know in a few days which it is. The Booder cannot long refrain from cut- vating fruitful poodle field is presented to its view at the orange metropolis.

A NEEDED EXAMPLE.

n OUBTLESS there will be many expressions of | ) sympathy account of the two boys sen 1 fenced by Judge Wallace to the penitentiary, and than likely there will be petitions asking for c!emcncy Yet the boys do not deserve any sympathy In all probability it would be wasted upon them and to other boys, who not in jail 1t would be ex- tended in a harmfully negative sense.
 It is true that provision for segregation of proes sonal criminals ought to be made and natural sup position IS that lad of tender years will not merit classification with these even If he has fallen into error. The boys under consideration seem to be different. They deliberately committed highway rob bery, and that 1t did not include murder was merely deal fatal blow. It is pitifu that they must be put among men old in sin and hardened beyond pos sibity of reform In the ordinary course of events they will emerge tough any old offender in the lot They embarked on the current of evil and there is no method by which they may tack.
 Melancholy the fate of the boys is, there could be nothing but mistaken mercy in sending them to a rcformatory institution There they would at once assume the position of heroes and corrupt others who now have chance to reach manhood prepared to uprghtly meet the responsibilities it will bring. It is wiser to safeguard the many than expose them to contamination in the vain hope that the source of the contamination will become purified The hoodur1 element of San Francisco was in need of a lesson. The lesson has been given. It was a severe one. Yet to let it stand the Judge decreed 1t the only fitting course

A COLLEGE OF COMMERCE.

H ESOLUTIONS directing the establishment of E a college of commerce at the State University and authorizing the president to nominate professor to take charge of the work submitted at the meeting of the regents and supported by a strong report the subject from the committee to which the matter had been referred. No action taken the time but the expediency of founding such college is fairly before the regents question of practical policy and is therefore issue of public interest
 It no longer necessary to argue the advisability of technical education a general principle It is everywhere recognized that if we are to have high standard of industrial development must have schools and colleges where young men can receive instruction in the sciences that underle modern in dustries and in the arts by which they carried on The only question, outside the financial one, involved in the present is whether a technical commer cal education IS necessary to California in the present condition of her development as technical education in mining agriculture.
 The affirmative argument the question Is well presented in the report accompanying the resolutions submitted to the regents. It is virtually made up of two points first, the benefits which such colleges have conferred upon communities where they have been established and operated for any length of time and, second, the increasing importance to California of finding some means for extending the market for her surplus products.
 It IS in Germany that the advantages of colleges of commerce are most strikingy shown. The extra ordinary expansion of German commerce and indus try of recent years has been of the marvels of the time The causes of the expansion have been closely investigated by the British whose markets are being invaded by the Germans and the reports of the in vestigators the effect that German success in commerce is due almost wholly to the excellent technical training given in her commercial schools and colleges.
 The lesson taught by Germany has been learned in other lands and at the present time both France and Great Britain initiating her wise example. We also will have to follow it if hope hold our own in the markets of the world. Although but small portion of resources have been developed we all ready produce of many articles much than we can consume at home We must extend the market for such products or the industries which produce them will languish.
 Commercial expansion is in fact of the press ing needs of the State. It is important as mining or agriculture The time is rapidly approaching when the prosperity of all great industries will be dc pendent upon the commercial enterprises that find market for their products It will be wise there fore to begin at once the commercial training oi those who arc to carry that important part of the activities of the commonwealth.

AFTER LONG DAYS.

After long days of love in loneliness I move among the ghosts of dead delight, Here, where we kissed the good-by in dumb
 distress.
 Parted and passed into the gathering night After long days the music of her feet Comes floating down the old familiar ways: Not all the flutes in Lydia were so sweet Nor pipes in Already; after long days I see her starry eyes, and in her curls The golden sea that beats about her brow see the sunbeams sport like Nereus girls, I the glad blood in her cheeks; and now Her soft clasp me with a strong caress Her soft lips thrill me with one tenderest
 kiss,
 After long days of love in loneliness Who would not part awhile to meet like this?

 do not regard the Chinese as oe- sirable citizens, even though to take this view is to oppose the sentiments of one of the most distinguished adVo- cates of annexation. Still, so long as the Chinese are here, they should not be denied certain rights. Among these rights are freedom from the attentions of the hoodlum and in certain ln- stances civility on the part or the police. I do not mean by this that the police need to use gloved hands III snatching the highbinder nor seho Ill their cards when occasion has arisen for raiding a den. But there are Cnln- csc who go about their own aftalrs' mo- testing no one, and police lntellgeIlce fails of making any distinction. AL certain times any of the plg-talleo tribe is likely to be stopped III the street and searched. The method IS to grab him and go through his clothes, much as a footpad might do It. The searcher is apt to be a policeman not Tn uniform, and he does not go to the trouble of displaying badge of author ity. If the victim of his curiosity ven ture to protest in a mildly surprised and interrogative way the response IS likely to be a slap across the mouth I submit that such treatment is not decent and if Americans abroad were treated in a similar fashion we would all howl protests until black in the face and call upon the Government to send guns. Of course this would not be done, but the howl would vindicate principle dear to every American heart.
 One of my first recollections of San Francisco is of plaint that the City and County Hospital was inadequate. It was true then, and ever since, the truth has been growing more shame ful. I was struck with disgust and horror on visit to the place to find the buildings a series of rickety barns loosely strung on a dark and draughty corridor There has been no move toward reform. People talk, officials steal, patients suffer and so will it con- tinue. To my mind the only hope of better conditions lies in the possibility that the structure may burn. What ever might spring up to succeed it could not be worse and in the matter of smell would doubtless be superior. If 1t be- fall that in course of years, earning the fortune to which newspaper men may reasonably aspire, l go to the City and County Hospital for the pur- pose of dying. I expect the winds of heaven to f1utter the ragged counter pane at which my fingers pick and the triekle of rain through the self-venti- lating roof to bedew the scene. But there will be one comfort. I will go thence soothed and sustained by the clamor of the populace as in the same tone 1t has used for seven years now, as I can swear, it demands that San Francisco shall have new hospital.
