foot. The party has saved the sena-
tor oftener than he has saved the
party. Blu: looking at things with the
light of recent events it seems that
the senator being satisfied with his
work of salvation in the Democra-
tic party is now industriously en-
gagged in try ing to save the Repub-
lican party, for we ttLst our friend
will admit that he has been most
useful coadjutor Of the Republican
members of the Senate.
Strange indeed that SO staunch a
Republican as the Messenger should
be eulogizing Senator McEnery for
having saved the Democratic party!
If the senator had not committed a
grave political sin the City Item,
the Messenger, the indicator and
the whole Republican press of the
State would not be found among his
defenders. That alone shows that
the old boy has switched off on the
wrong track.

opinion of the McEnery resolution
as will be seen from the following

feels as he declared at the banquet
that he did, that the disposition of

determined by Congress, why does
he not call a special session of Con

If he is sincere, why did he permit
his supporters of the Senate to vote
down the other day the Bacon reso-
luton, which distinctly declared
that the United States claimed no
of permanently holding
these islands, Why did he insist
that the McEnery resolution should
be passed, a resolution which is a
fraud, delusion and a snare, a
evasion which like a Christ |

patriotism suggest 1t is to be hoped'
therefore, that the Mayor will make
an early call for the people to assem-
BILE and arrange for celebration.
On the approaching occasion while
we must preserve the traditional and
noble old customs which time has en-
shrined in the American heart as es-
sential to the day, we may and should
have some new features. Several Of
these are now ready for suggestion.
and some have been laid before the
Record Union and it has some of
its own. But all suggestions as to
novelty and as to ways and means
ought to go before the proper commit
tees when the citizens meeting selects
them, and that is the time for their
first debate. It will be time enough
to study the new ideas when we have
met and taken an early start in the
matter. BY all means let Sacramento
be up and doing along the line sug-
six weeks in which to prepare that we
may Guido any previous effort, and be-
sides avoid the rush, confusion and
annoyance due to lack of time in which
to plan devise ways and means, and
accomplish.

THE LATEST RUMOR.

A Washington special is to the effect
ident of the Philippine Commission that
the United States proposes a govern
ment for the Philippines more civil than
military, and broader and more liberal
even than that proposed for Porto Rico;
a government having it's lines drawn
somewhat after our own. giving the
Fsiipinos as large a measure of home
rule as is compatible with the author
ity Of the United States over the ISL
ands. It is added that President Schur-
man has been instructed to communi-
cate the statement to Aguinaldo. The
belief is held in Washington that tbts
mas been done, and that the rebels are
seriously considering the acceptance of
the offer in good faith, with the pre-
eedent condition that they must I'M
conditionally lay down their arms and
DOW to the sovereignty of the United
States. That is to say it is not prom
ised them that if they surrender they
will have this or that. The Govern
ment simply assures them that they
viii Lot be enslaved, punished or BAN
ished, and that they shall be free men
and encouraged to become self govern
ors, but they are to surrender first and
trust to US afterwards to do them i1,s-
tice.
AS much as that has been repeatedly
declared. There has never been anv
unwillingness to tell the rebels that
they would be well treated and given
good government. But this is the first
news we have had of any outline as to
the character and detail of the pro-
posed government having been con-
veyed to the insurgents. We are dis
posed to doubt the news because
General Otis has constantly said to the
Aguinaldo enissaries that they must
first surrender; that before that moth
ing would be promised to them. Sec
ondly, the President, it is well known,
has all along declared that he pro-
posed to leave to Congress the whole
question of the form Of government for
the islands; that indeed he has not the
power, except as Commander in Chief,
to say what the order of the laws in
the Philippines shall be. If the dis
patch referred to has any footing it is
probable that it relates only to that
necessary temporary order of govern
mont that will obtain pending the ac-
ton of Congress. We do not believe
before the rebels, has made them any
promises, or pledged himself to them re-
garding any policy except in the general
and repeated statement that they shall
hands

THE PRESIDENT COMING.

1t is announced with seeming authori-
the United States will the coming sum-
1ner take a trip across the continent as
far as the shores of the Pacific. The
President is hard worked man. 1t
has even been said that the strain put
upon him during the past year has per-
manently broken his health, and fears
have been expressed that he might be
forced into retiracy before the expira-
lion. of his term because Of the strain
he has endured. This. however, has
also been denied.
But it is admitted that he needs rest,
change of scene and movement about
the land to restore his vital energy and
relieve his mind from cares OF State.
The idea of a. trip to the Pacific, there
fore. is one excellent in conception and
ought to be realized in execution. Sac
ramento was the first city of the Pa
cific Coast to invite President McKin-
ley to come to these shores. That was
done officially more than a year ago by
c.AAS XAdy " VI lilS OdpIldA lily. liz L e
ply was that the President could not
then come, but that when he did he
would be glad to meet his fellow citi-
Eens of Sacramento.
Now that it is reasonably certain that
he has resolved to come west this sum-
aner the President will certainly not for
get the initial invitation he received.
But, nevertheless, it would be entirely
appropriate to renew the solicitation
that he win make this city one of his
points of visitation Sacramento will do
him honor in a fitting manner. She
never fails in any such function. She
understands her capacity in that direc-
tion now better than ever before.
We want the President to visit sthe
Capital of California, not because he is
William Mckinley. but because he isthe
President of the American nation, and
in his office is crystal1ized one of the
highest motives of our national being.
But two Presidents have ever come to
the western coast of the Union, Presi-
dent Hayes and President Harrison.
Each received welcome in Sacramento
that did great credit to the State and
honored fittingly the distinguished
third President, and will do a turn bet
ter for VIM. Mckinley than it did for
either of the others

ALONG PRACTICAL LINES.
Santa Rosa Press Democrat: While
China is being squabbled over by the
Powers, an energetic and far-seeing
American missionary, Rev. Gilbert
Reid, is busy organizing a work there
which promises to be far more potent
and beneficent than most of the cur
| rent diplomacy. This is the establish
ment at Pekin of an International In
stitute, whose object will be to bring
the products and methods of Western
| civilization directly before the mind
of the governing classes of China. The
institute will comprise a library and
| reading room, to include books Of ref
erence from different literatures, and
to gather together the great Chinese
! literature, ancient and modern - this
by the way will be the first public
library in China; museum which
will contain specimens Of the agricult-
ui di, CoHlueICIdl, ScIeIlllllC anu dEtISliC
products of the West; a lyceum Or au-
ditorium for public lectures; class
rooms for detailed instruction; a social
hall or club and reception rooms where
Chinese ladies may meet foreign ladies
without offending the national preju-
dice. The institute, while penetrated
with the religious spirit, will not be a
church propaganda, that work being
| left to the missions
| A remarka BILE feature of the project
is the support it is receiving from in
| fuential Chinese. Mr.. Reid has the
personal acquaintance of some four
hundred chief mandarins, his friends
| including not only those in favor with
the young Emperor, but those at the
head of affairs to-day. The Tsung Ii
Yamen has given it's official sanction to
the institute, the first Chinese sub
scriber being HUI Yu Fen, the director
of railroads in the north. Fifteen thou
sands dollars altogether has been sub
scribed in China, and $4,000 in the

The Western cities generally are cor
daily, joining in the petition to Admiral
Dewey to change his plans and come
home via California. From Chicago to
San Francisco there is practically but
one voice upon the subject. Secretary
resides wholly in the wish Of Admiral
Dewey. Which is to say that he can
return across the Pacific or by the east
ern route as he chooses. Our appeal.
therefore, should be made direct to the
Admiral. There may be something in
the suggestion that he has chosen the
dong hot eastern route for the very pur-
pose Of avoiding a transcontinentalt tour
lpf welcome. For the Admiral Is q
modest man and does not wish to be
shade so much Of, and breads the strain
nlpon his nerves and the test to which
his physical energy may be put by what
me has been told is in store for him.
Assuming this to be correct indica-
tion we should hasten to advise the
admiral to dismiss his fears, and give
him perfect assurance that nothing viii
be overdone and that his wishes as to
rest and too. many receptions will be re-
Epected. We entertain the belief that
,af we go about this thing in the right
sway the Admiral can be induced to
forego the long eastern trip and come
home through the Golden Gate

The very latest Paris report is that
the French Court of Cessation has re-
solved that the Dreyfus case shall be
retired; that this judgment has been
reached by conversion of a half dozen
members of the court to the side CT the
revisiomsts. 1t is added that the re-
port of the court to that effect will be
naGe. May Dist. Let us see, this is
the 18th day of May; judging by the
past reports of intentions of that court
in the Dreyfus matter we can safely
calculate that by May 10th the present
story will be denied. In the meantime
We may reasonably expect a repetition
and denial Of the report of the death
of Dreyfus from grief. Fact lis, this
celebrated case takes the palm over all
others in history for the number and
rapidity of assertions and denials con-
corning it The true course to pursue
regarding it is to let our minds be
blank, to believe nothing, we hear about
it. and even after it is positively known
that definite decision has been
reached, to doubt still and continue
doubling until Captain Dreyfus is act
ually brought back to Paris and again
placed on trial.

The Boston ANTI Imperialistic

reau to gather reprint of letters written
home by our soldiers in the Philippines
to disclose the discomfort of the boys

corning the Government which is sup
pressing instruction on the part of a
lot of natives who wish to enrich them
selves out of Spanish property of vast
value, which we are pledged to hold
good to the real owners under the treaty
we have made with Spain. The out
come of the gathering was a collection
of 5000 letters from volunteers. Out

must have been a disappointment to the

out and it is great comfort to those
Americans who believe that the volun
teers in the Philippines understand
their wants and desires far better than
do the people at home.

THE APPROACHING ANNIvER-
SARY.

4 The. anniversary of the birth Of the
bratYons this year throughout the eoun-
try will be particularly interesting be-
cause the thought of the whole people
has been lifted up by the late war
out of the rut of commercialism and
Hhe slavery of business into higher and
new atmosphere Of nationality. We
are entertaining now for our land ideas
broader, better, purer, more hopeful
and trustful than before the war. We
are inspired by more of pride in the
nation, and we are conscious Of greater
respect being paid the American re-
public by the Powers Of the earth than
ever before.
In many ways the war has been a
moral and a social benefit to the United
States, although in financial sense it
cost us a prodigious sum. We are con-
vfnced, therefore, that the approach
ing celebrations of the Fourth of July
will be much enriched by an elevated
Americanism, be notably enthusiastic
diiu Atoie iSiNiuiy pau ioeiS 'iie,i 10 a
score and more of years, and that the
occasion will be invested with liveiier
interest and have the concern more
generally of the people than any eele-
bration for many years.
Sacramento should take time by a
long forelock and begin even thus
early preparations for the proper OBJ
servance Of the day. Heretofore the
initial step has been taken too late
"a month is not time enough in which
to prepare for the celebration we ought
ITO have in this Capital City Of Califor-
