BOSTONIAN BRYANlSM.

u IL the world knows that Bostonian ideas are
! classical and metaphysical and that Organism
is but a decamatory demagoguery. therefore
it is to be expected that a Bosonian Organism would
be demophysical metagOguery expressed classically
in declamatory terms. That expectation has been
realized. George Fred Williams OF Boston has for
mulated the principles OF Organism into four dogmas,
as follows
1. If monopoly has occupied the avenues of COM
munication the people can dispossess it.
, If the land has passed into the hands of !dlers
who build palaces from the pennies of labor, we
can send these idlers to the pillow.
s. If industries implements are possessed by an
oligarchy democracy resume possession.
4. If wealth can buy Legislatures, can legis-
late for ourselves.
These dogmas come to us without anything in the
way OF an explanatory chart diagram or appendix
and the Western mind therefore will have some diff
cult in understanding the problems OF life mind
politics and reform involved in them. 1t is worth
while, however, for all citizens to make attempt to
penetrate their inwardness and discern, il pos
sibe the thingness OF the vacuity in which they are
immersed, for there may be bug in their mazes.
The first dogma appears to be a Bostonian way Of
saying democracy take possession OF transporta
ton lines if it feels like it, and may be regarded as
declaration in favor OF Government ownership OF rail
ways The second is very obscure 1t may be an
occult expression IN favor OF the naturalization OF
land or it may be a proposal to establish system
of compulsory blowing the part OF the Astor boys
The third dogma maintaining the rights OF democ-
racy take up ''industrys implements" is a stag
gerer. It seems to imply that Democracy might go
to work, but such move within the camp OF Bryan
ism is inconceivable and the solution OF the problem
must be LETT, therefore, to the hazard OF guess
The last Of the four is what is known in the West
as corker," but doubtless it would be recognized in
Boston by some other name If wealth can buy egis-
atures, we can legislae for ourselves" Apparently
that that if wealth buys legislation every man
shall become legislator and get his share of the
Doodle. If it mean not that then it must have some
mysterious reference to omnibus referendum
popular initiative and imperative mandate
Whatever views may be taken of them it is clear
hesedogmas contain their ucd depths the esoteric
tenets OF Bostonian Organism While to outsiders
they may but another attempt to "scrut the in
scrutable and poss the impossible" they are utter
ances of the oracles of the dollar dinner and beneath
their froth may be deeply fraught with the force of
tate 1t is probable they will meet us at Philppi in
1000 and it behooves to take note of their ghostly
threats.

AN IMPROBABLE ADMIRAL.

II HE nomination by the Examiner of Admiral
Dewey once OF Vermont but the naval
representative OF the Union, as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 1000 is such colossal
inpudence that indicates hopeless imbecility The
freaks and mysteries OF that absurd representative OF
morbid egotsm have been tolerated for years for the
same reason that the antics OF a callow youth, inc
brated with his own importance are indugently per
uitted.

All these absurd contortions could be endured
But by Jupiter. the attempt to appropriate Admiral
Dewey is too much. To convert any distinguished
Nermouter into a fusion Democrat, even within his
native State would exhaust the combined influence
Of the Cuban bondholders and the Asiatc specula-
tors. To propose the capture OF great national
hero. who has reached the highest dignity among
Men in the service OF the Government, under Re
publican administration, and who has already rejected
every political overture, IS a step in advance OF all
the idiotic ubimitie OF the past It is toeraby safe
to assume that Admiral Dewey will prefer his cooked
hat and his naval standing the conglomeration OF
free silver and socalistic demands that constitute the
stock in trade of the Examiner
The Examiner had better resume its interrupted
employment OF converting w J. Bryan to mpe-
riaism.

verts to the city in 1902 it will be sold to
the highest bidder BY granting the
Market-street company at this time per
mission to erect poles ana operate an cleo
trio road on the street, from Taylor street
TO Grant avenue, would be equivalent to
giving that corporation vested right III
the franchise and would make it practi-
callV worthless to any company Otner
than the Market-street monopoly.
AS proof of the fact that the scheme on
foot is to get control OF the Geary-street
franchise as well as other valuable con-
cessions asked for, the manner IN Whlch
the corporatiOns representatives, treated
a suggestion made by several members Of
the Board of Supervisors IS cited: IL was
suggested that instead of turning down
road be extended another block on laY-
Tor street and that 1t then turn down
Post street to Grant avenue. rms propo-
sition was rejected, in spite OF the Iact
that the corporation IS seeking perm1S-
sion to transform the FOst-Street cable
road into an electric road, and would thus
be enabled to save the building OF tour
blocks of electric line on GearN street.
1t is apparent therefore, that the cor
pOratiOn considers the occupation or
Geary street important IN m ,,L measure

for building the proposed road;

THE SUSPECTED
STRANGER IS
ON THE RACK
Chief Lees Probing
Straw Bonds.

Harry Wilson. the colOred man who
Jumped his bonds last Thursday night and
was arrested in Santa Cruz Sunday, was
brought back to the City Prison yester-
day morning by Detective Ed Gibson. He
was booked on a bench warrant issued by
Judge Graham and his bonds were fixed
in $4,000 The police will take good care
that he is not again released on straw
bonds.
Shortly after being booked Wilson was
taken to Chief Lees office and the Chief
had him on the rack for nearly two hours
about the means adopted for securing
his release on straw ponds by Attorney j.
n e. Wilson and Clerk Kelly of Judge
Graham's court After the interview was
over the Chief declined to say what in
formation he had received but said the
matter would be taken before the Grand
Jury without any delay. He remarked
that there was one point he wanted more
light upon before he could give out any
thing for publication.
1t was ascertained that Wilson had re-
manned in hiding in the city till Saturday
night, when he bought ticket for Santa
Cruz. A careful Searcn is being made by
the police for his hiding place as if
found something important might be
divulged.

pretended that he was not in hiding in
this city and had not jumped his bonds.
as his attorney had informed him that his
case would not be called till tomorrow.
He bought a ticket for Santa Crcz Satur-
day night as he had business there to look
after He denied making the statement
in Santa Cruz that he was intending to go
to Mexico. He will be taken before Judge
Graham this morning on the three charges
of petty larceny against him.
The suspicion that Chief Lees wants
Wilson on much more serious charge
than petty larceny has been strengthened
by his rage at Wilson'S escape on straw
bonds and his vigorous efforts to recap

MAY ATTEMPT
TO CORRUPT THE
SUPERVISORS
Plan for a "Cork-
screw" Electric Line.

The attempt that is being made by the
Market Street Railway Company TO Sc
cure permission from the Board of Sinner
visors to construct and operate an cleo
trio line along Sixth, Taylor, Gearv. Grant
avenue and Bush street has reached
condition that bids fair to involve the
board in a scandal of sufficient propor
tions to throw a strong light on the meth
DDS employed by the giant corporation to
attain its ends.
1t is asserted. and the assertion is
backed up by evidence that the permits
sion prayed for is worth at least $40 900 to
the corporation, which would mean of
course, a corresponding loss to the city.
1t Is pointed out by the same authority
that the corporation can well afford to
and Will If necessary, expend 500 900 in
purchasing the votes of Supervisors in
favor OF granting what is asked If this
or any other sum OF money is expended
IN a successful attempt to corrupt the
members of the board the result will he
mat the corporation will be granted gratis
the right to erect electric poles along the
streets named will be confirmed in its
title to franchises now held to be forfeit
ed; Will be granted new franchises free of
charge, and Will be put in a position to
make worthless to the public the valuable
Geary- street franchise, which will revert
to the city in 1902.
TNs d .HhedIlS Tor the requirement OF all
these things without cost to itself the
Market Street Railway Company has
asked for permission to build cork
screw electric road to traverse the
streets heretofore named representa-
tive of the corporation recently APP
preached member of the board with
so-cailed explanation of the reasons for
asking such extraordinary concessions.
Our company does not want to build
this road" he said, but we are willing to
do so because the downtown business
men want it. The Post-street, Kearny,
Mission and Market streets lines now ham
die all of the traffic that would be carried
by the new road, so you see we will be out
just what it costs us to build and operate
the new line But the business men want
it, and we are willing to shoulder the ex-
pense in order to satisfy them
The argument was so convincing that
the Supervisor to whom it was addressed
turned to one of his associates with the
remark: "These fellows must take us for
lot of 10-cent schoolboys.'%

most valuable in the city, and when it re-

AMERICANS IN NICARAGUA.

~ ECENT reports from Washington TO the
~ effect that advces received by our Government
from Nicaragua indicate that the situation there
is extremely discouraging to American interests. It
is being impressed upon our officials so is said that
persons high in the Ncaraguan Government are
pursuing a policy deliberately designed to crush
American business interests, now OF considerable
magnitude in that country.
Such reports not surprising. 1t was but short
time ago that information was received here OF the
Inauguration OF a political movement in Nicaragua to
bring about the annexation OF the country to the
United States. The leaders OF the movement were
said to be President Zelaya General Estrada, Senior
Guzman and others OF hardly less note and influence
1t added that next year party with annexation
as the principal plank in its platform would appeal to
the people and make strong campaign in its favor.
From these reports it is evident that American in
terests in Nicaragua have now become so important
and American influence so strong to be the domi-
nant factors in the politics OF the people OF one
party, It is alleged, the leaders desire to crush our
interests; and Of the other the leaders desire to
make interests paramount even to the surrender
o. Nicaraguan sovereignty.
The American people are sufficiently acquainted
with charges and countercharges of political parties
to know how apprase them at something like their
true worth good deal OF allowance will there
lore, be made tor eNaGgeraton on both SIDES. The
situation however is clearly one that merits watch
ing. The annexation OF Hawaii has in all probability
excited in the minds OF some Americans in Nicaragua
a desire to emulate the example OF the Americans in
Honolulu 1t is possible that some OF them may be
meddng III Nicaraguan politics for the express pur-
pose Of bringing about condition Of affairs that will
lead to the development OF an annexation sentiment
rot only there but in the United States
We have unqucshonably great interests in Mica
ragua which must be carefully guarded. The early
undertaking OF the construction OF the interocean
canal is nov we'll assured, and when that route is
open the flow OF commerce across Nicaragua will be
enormous. The advocates OF unlimited annexation
will therefore have a strong argument their side
and they to be getting ready to spring it on
the country. 1t therefore behooves the people to
watch the issue we'll or may have Nicaraguan
annexation scheme confronting us before we have de-
vised form OF government for Hawaii

The appointment Of the Board OF Health by Gov
ernor Gage requires no special criticism. The gen
tlemen chosen may be competent, but the manner
OF their selection proves the indifference Of the execu-
tive to the best interests OF the State and OF his party
Dr. 'Barbat, OF the appointees, is the family ply
scian of Daniel NJ. Burns. Dr. w. B. Coffey is
chief surgeon to the Market street railway combine
The complete subserviency of Governor Gage to
railroad influences is freshly illustrated but has
been long predicted and virtually confessed.
The Labor Council of this city has a suspicion that
Governor Gage is trying to sell it a gold brick in
reference to the appointment OF Labor Commits
soner. When the Labor Council OF San Francisco
becomes better acquainted with Governor Gage the
suspicion will be Transformed into certainty
