1t is merely little bit of old wom-
anish scntimentality this effort to
keep the Hawaiian flag. Each state
and territory adopts coat of arms,
and it will be the province of our ter
ritorial legislature to settle upon
what is desirable i'm that line, and al
so to adopt a territorial flag if it sees
fit. 1t does not seem proper for the
present Legislature to have anything
to say in the matter. The present or
der of things is passing away and it
savors very much of a testator striv-
ing to regulate the lives of future gen
erations, for the present Legislature
to attempt to prescribe the flag of the
future. The flag we have to do with
is Old Glory, and the sooner that is
floating from the government build

TELEGRAPH CABLE.

So long as we get the cable all hands
has been some odd work with regard
to the cable bill. 1t passed both h9us-
es in the very teeth of ministerial OPP
position, and then instead of going
straight on to the President it got
shelved in a conference committee for
long time. There was little need of
it staying there, for the difference be-
tween Senate and House was merely
a slight verbal one. However, it did
hang fire, and then there was talk of
the Presidents vetoing it. This led
to some filibustering against the pas
sage of the appropriation bills and
that might have been continued for
a few days longer, but it was given
up when it was understood that the
bill would be signed. 1t was stated
that there was promise to this eff
feet. As a fact the bill has neither
been signed nor vetoed, and has prac,
tically gone into the waste basket.
1t savors somewhat of sharp prac,
tice for the Cabinet to fall back upon
an old law, when the law which the
two house of the Legislature had
passed is still hanging in the air, us
it were. The act should have been
vetoed, and, if the Cabinet had further
information, its members could have
come forward and have explained the
situation during the debate to set
aside the veto. What has been done
looks like clever trick which the

SOME COMPARISONS.

There is some criticism of the time
it has taken for the United States to
mobilize her army and strike in Cuba
and Manila. These criticisms are
mainly based upon the rapidity with
which Germany struck at France in
1870. But the cases are by no means
parallel. The war of 1870 had been
brewing for six years, and each ma
ton had been making preparations
for it. AS fact Germany was an or
ganized military camp. 1t was but to
send an order and over Il million men
sprang into their uniforms and took
their arms. Even the railway systems
were prepared for the event, and eve
ry detail had been thought out. It
was but to concentrate on the from
tier and then march and fight
A better comparison could be made
with the Crimean war. In that case
war was declared on March IS, 1854.
Troops were concentrated at Narna
May 29th, but it was not till Septem-
Der 14th that a-llnding was effected
in the Crimea, and the first great bat
tie of the war was fought September
Goth. After that the war proceeded
with rapidty and engagements fol-
lowed engagements thick and fast.
But here again there were military
nations, with large drilled forces at
their disposal.
Now let us look at what the United
States has done. War; was declared
April 21st. 1t came out of compar-
atively clear sky. Practically the
matter had been brewing for only a
couple of months, and it was not the
policy of the United States to concen.
trate even its regular troops. An aIt
my had to be created, there was but
nucleus of $4,000 regular troops. Foi
the rest uniforms, arms, etc, had tC
be found, and commissariat and trans
port had TO be organized. And yet
within two months of the declara.
ton of war the invasion of Cuba ha.
been commended and the troops have
landed in Manila, a distance of si>
thousand miles from their native
land.
Viewed in this light what the Unit
ed States has been able to do is simp
ly wonderful and shows how great i.
her organizing power. She is not ;
military nation, and Net she has pu-
which is astonishing. and she is car
rying on military and naval opera
tions at one and the same time, il
places which are almost the antipodc.
of one another.

The rapid transit act has indeed
had a very narrow escape. 1t may be
said to have got through by the very
skin of its teeth. Brought in early in
the session it has remained pigeon
a rush just at the very end. That it
has been got through at all is due to
the energy of one or two Senators,
who practically crowbarred it out OF

WHY WE FAIL AT WASHINGTON

| OHN E. QUINN contributes to the current | IoI number of the Merchants Association Review
 a short but striking article, setting forth the well-known weakness of California at Washington and pointing the remedy for it. The subject is particularly pertinent in view of the approach ing election of Congressmen, but it will be always one of importance to Californians until we have so aroused ourselves and exerted energies to at tam our r1ghttul prestige in the Union.
 There IS, as MT. Quinn says, no State that con tributes much to the national treasury and receives so little for public and needed improvements. It is unnecessary to cite proofs of the statement. While other States obtain large for comparatively small streams and insignificant harbors, our great rivers and San Francisco Bay almost neglected. While public buildings for Eastern cities are pushed for ward with vgor the postoffce proposed for San Francisco so long ago that the memory Of man hardly runneth to the contrary still remains hole in the ground supplemented by blue print file Ill the architects office.
 The responsibility for this bad condition of affairs rests not altogether upon the officials at Washington and our delegation III Congress. The people of the State as whole to blame in the matter We have never pushed claims the National Govern ment with much force other States, and a consequence there has happened to that which happens to every community and to every individual that torgets the wisdom negects the practice ot self-help As MT. Quinn says, I've petition, we hold massmeetngs we resolve want such and such a thing, and that is the end of it. Our politicians know weakness and act accordingly"
 The remedy of greater public spirit and more ncessant activity among all classes of citizens to sup port every movement for obtaining adequate appro- prations for California is suggested by the article There is however, another point that should not be overlooked in this connection. We must, as The Call has repeatedly pointed out, maintain at Washington delegation sufficiently strong and experienced to exert potent influence among Congressman. We have in the past changed representatives too often We have too many free-traders repre- senting districts that require protection for their in dustries too many silver cranks representing con- stituences whose welfare is inseparably bound up with sound money too many men unfamiliar with Congress who accomplish nothing.
 At the coming election should send to Con gress strong delegation thoroughly representative of the interests and the people of the State, and thereafter maintain 1t there. With such delegation earnestly supported at home, California would soon gain her rightful rank at Washington, and should have no longer any to complain of the neglect of our interests by the National Government.
