Why Not You?
My wife has been using Chamber
berlain's Pain Balm, with good re-
suits, for lame shoulder that has
panied her continually for nine years.
We have tried all kinds of medicines
and doctors without receiving any
benefit from any of them. One day
we saw an advertisement of this med
icine and thought of trying it, which
we did with the best of satisfaction.

DIPLOMATIC RESERVE.

HE opinion is rapidly growing in this country
that ambassador Choate may usefully practice
more diplomatic reserve. The American lega-
tion in London is not maintained a gushery, and
dinner speeches need be used as an occasion
for discussion OF grave international problems which
concern the peace OF the world. Much is said about
British sympathy and support for in the Spanish
Our people take it for granted that we had
both, and it has passed into the fixed convictions OF
the American mind that England kept Continental
Europe off backs during that brief struggle But
recall any public expression to that effect
uttered by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embas-
sador at Washington He may have had all the SYM
pathy OF a cousin a brothern-aw or other things
n-law, but he kept himself 1t is true that the
two South African republics are not known diplo-
matcay to the other nations, including our own and
il is also true that among the great monarchies Of
Europe there is but little sympathy with the repub-
lies, while there may be much hatred Of Great
Britain. In this country there is not that general
condition OF hatred OF England but Americans SYM
pathze with the republics and devouy hope for their
5ictory
Therefore it is an excess of politeness and sur
plus OF cousnhood in Mr.. Choate to say that while
our Government is neutral people are not, and
that American women especially cannot be restrained
in their expression OF support OF England
Mr.. ST. John Gaffney, in the Albany On. " Times.
points out that at the recent pro-Boer meeting in
New York City dozen Governors of States and
over hundred members of Congress teegraphed
their sympathy with the Beers and he very pointedly
challenges the New York Tribune which is pro-
British, TO call meeting in New York to express
sympathy with Great Britain and test the condition Of
American sentiment
The agents of American expression, diplomatic and
Journalistic it to their country less than 20

ment They have no right to deceive that empire

United States, tripartte alliance which is to be-

stride the world like three-egged Colossus. Now
there is not in this country any public sentiment to
support such extravagant expectation
We have done very well without any European al
iances and we believe it to be the sincere purpose of
our people to continue without any such entangle-
ment.
The royal families of England and Germany are
blood kim and may foregather as seems meet for their
dynastic purposes, but will not lightly abandon
our position as republic, which is free agent and
keeps free hand to all the rest of the world II
We are pursuing some outside purpose which would
make such alliance necessary we would better aban-
don it than seek to tie hands in order to accom-
pish it.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR PROGRESS.

= ETWEEN now and the dates when the special
\ elections OF next month are to be held cam
- paign of education behalf OF progress will be
carried in San Francisco. 1t will require wothirds
OF the persons voting to carry the proposed
That is heavy handicap in favor OF sluriansm but
it need not depress the ardor OF citizens OF public
spirit. On the contrary it should rouse them 20
earnest action and induce every OF them to give
some portion of his time and his energies toward
assisting in the campaign and helping to form reso-
lutte popular sentiment in favor OF the proposed i'm
provements.
1t is very well known that when no definite meas
OF improvement is before the people as matter
OF practical politics, everybody in favor OF progress
but as soon as some particular plan is brought for
ward there is swift revusion OF feeling on the part
of the non-progressve fault finding classes and
they begin at to assa the plan 1t is the old
story that mankind is divided into two classes one
OF which goes ahead and does something and the
other sits around and complains because it was not
done in some other way. 1t is in San Francisco as
in other localities. Many who processes loudly
his desire for municipal progress will oppose the I'M
provements suggested either because he does not
like some detail OF the plan. because he would
like to see some other Improvement made first.
The opposition that will come from that class OF
people is rot to be despised. They will go to the
polls vowlng their devotion to progress and then
against taking any step toward it, II more than one
third OF the voters who their ballots at the cleo
ton be OF that disposition the measures will be de-
eaed. The duty OF progressive citizens is therefore
clear They must work diligently from now until the
close OF the elections to awaken the interest OF their
friends and acquaintances in the issue and confirm
them in resolve to and to vote right when the
time comes.
In campaign of this kind it is not required that
any should give much OF his time to the work
It will be sufficient if he make il point to bring the
subject up in the course of conversation at the
clubs on the streets and wherever meet and have
opportunities for discussing public affairs Personal
influence is much greater than most men suppose As
rule the OF more or less indifferent TO
issues which do not concern their personal fortunes
Therefore any man who has a decided conviction on
subject OF public rather than private interest who
talks OF it in persuasive and persistent way never
fails to bring TO his view OF the question con-
siderable number OF those who without definite
opinions about IL The who exert their in
uence in that way become strong factors in the COM
munity and are of value to it. BY such men the CAM
paign OF education should be made in this instance
If every staunch friend OF progress in San Francisco
will do his share the necessary two-thrds vote will
be given for the Improvements proposed at each IF
the two elections and the city will begin the new era
by work which will go far to assure the bright f1

WHITE HOUSE PLANS.

IMPORTS from Washington are to the effect
X that efforts more strenuous than ever are to be
made this winter to obtain from Congress
action in regard to providing suitable accom-
modations for the President. The White House was
ample for the needs OF the chief executive in the davs
when it erected but with the growth OF the re-
public the clerical force attached to the Presidential
Office has increased, the number and extent of state
entertainments have augmented, and in other ways
a need has arisen for more room than the old man
sion affords.
BY way OF forming popular sentiment on the sub
lect and rousing Congress to action some dolefu
tales are told OF the condition OF the structure and
the dangers which threaten when large crowds are
assembled there. According to these stories the old
timbers were evidently not laid with a view to such
a strain, and bends and breaks have occurred from
time to time till certain parts OF the interior OF the
building are relics OF ingenious patchwork The
main staircase gave way in President Arthurs time
and had to be tied into place with chains which ira
dition says still doing duty hidden in partition

hundreds OF persons sometimes pass in day cracked

moreover, asserted to be open secret in Washing
ton that the floors OF the parlors and state corridors
always have to be sustained by rows OF temporary
wooden piers when the President holds his receptions
That some Improvement is needed all parties are
agreed but there wide differences OF opinion as TO
what form the improvement should take One party
advocates the enlargement OF the present structure bv
the addition OF another range OF buildings OF equal
length fronting the present and connected with il
by pavions so as TO ncose court; another set pro-
poses the addition OF spacious wings extending to the
right and the left OF the building one to serve as the
private apartments OF the President and hisi family
the other for grand state balls and banquets while the
old building is reserved for the executive Offices but
third party urges the erection of new mansion on
new site in the residence part OF the city

THE SAN JOSE CELEBRATION.

PREPARATIONS made at San lose for the
- celebration OF the hitieth anniversary OF the or
ganization OF the State government have
reached a point which seemingly assures the COM
piete success OF the undertaking. The date OF the
festival December 20 is so near to Christmas day as

festivities OF the year and win give to San Jose
holiday season which will be memorable in her his

The occasion is well worth celebrating By a series
OF fortunate circumstances the evolution OF California

history. Almost every in the progressive civil
izaon OF this State from its earliest settlement to its
admission 10 the Union has had about it that charm
al adventure, OF fortune. OF mystery or OF strife
which renders It perennialy interesting to mankind
and particularly 10 Its own people. All the circum-
stances OF the stirring time from the raising OF the

Congress the admission OF the territory to the
rights OF statehood are notable not only for them,
selves but Tor the kind OF men they brought 10 the
front II is drama full OF character as well as OF
incident. and whatever serves to recall the memory
Of those times and those is OF value TO the COM
munity

cherish many traditions OF the years when she was
