MEDDLING WITH THE DEAF
AND DUMB AND BLIND
INSTITUTION, BERKELEY

EDITOR DAILY MORNING CALL
Dear Sir: Referring to the well-written
and very moderate article in your issue
of this morning upon the Deaf and Dumb
and Blind Institution in Berkeley, the
writer conceives that il would be oppor-
tune, just and enlightening to make few
remarks concerning same in the kindliest
possible spirit.
For thirty-four years. under, I think,
twelve different administrations of vari-
Gus political stripe, successive boards of
directors, comprising among their num-
Der such names as Governor Perkins,
Judge John Stanly, Senator McLougall,
j. Mora Moss; Governor Haight, John P.
Rankin, Rev. ]. A Benton, Colonel John
Hays. Judge John CARRIER, A. j. Ralston,
John T. Houghton, d. II. Randolph, T. L..
Barker L. j. Crane, DR.. Scott, recognlZ-
ing in the principal, DR.. Warning Wilkin-
son, man OF remarkable executive abil-
ity of answering integrity and or self
sacrificing devotion to the best interests
of the State and of the unfortunates COM
mitted to his care, have without eXcep-
ton abstained from interference with the
domestic arrangements of the institution.
The result has been that the institution
is the pride of the State; that its reputa-
ton among institutions of its kind in the
United States is unrivaled and that its
fame has reached Europe, where 1t oc-
cupies front rank among similar lnstl-
tutions in England. France and Germany.
In all these years scandal has not
breathed upon the good fame of the insti-
tuition. A long while ago a newspaper,
then in the sensational stage of its eXis-
tence. assailed the principal and procured
an exhaustive investigation of the affairs
of the institution out of which he and
every person connected with it emerged
stainless and irreproachable. as all who
knew the facts were confident would be
the case.
These conditions continue up to this
day and l very confidently hazard the
of directors in the domestic arrangements
of the institution for the deaf and dumb
and blind of the State of California dur
ing the incumbency of its present princi-
pal. will be surely followed by none but
evil consequences. Yours truly.

DEWEY ON THE PHILIPPINES
From Life.


"HE opinions of Admiral Dewey
about the war in the Philippines,
as recently reported by the London
Daily News, and up to the time of
u this writing not denied by the ad-
miral are of the highest interest and i'm
portance. The News correspondent asked
if the Philippines were likely to be paci-
fled soon. He says that the admiral re-
Piled:
II have the question of the Philippines
more at heart than has any other Ameri-
can, because l know the Filpinos inti-
mately, and they know | am their friend.
The recent inSurrection is the fruit of the
anarchy which has SO long reigned in the
islands, but the insurgents will have to
submit themselves to the law, after being
accustomed to no law at all. / believe and
affirm, nevertheless, that the Philippine
question will be very shortly solved
THE Filpinos are capable of governing
themselves; they have all qualifications
for it, 1t is a question of time, but the
only way to settle the insurrection and
assure prosperity to the archipelago is
to concede self-government to the inhabi-
tants. That would be a solution of many
questions. and would satisfy ALL especi-
ally the Filipinos, who believe themselves
worthy of it, and are So

toward the Filipinos. The islands are at

California miner has the habit OF doing things.
After the three days session OF the convention in the
city the visitors are to be taken on tour OF the min
Ing districts OF the State from north to south Two
weeks are to be spent on the trip which will be at
once an occasion OF holiday and of study. Men so
learned and skilled in mines and mining will quickly
understand the meaning Of all they see, and there
tore after their inspection they will be fairly we'll
posted on the conditions and the possibilities OF
mineral industries.
The engineers come to US at time which is pro-
p1tlous to our hopes OF good results from their
ing The disturbances in the Transvaa which
threaten war at any moment and may involve the
destruction OF the mines in that state by the enrage
boers, Will naturally force mining capitalists look
elsewhere tor investments until that trouble is over
Under such circumstances renewed attention will be
given TO California, and the meeting here OF the lead
ing mining experts OF the country will be made the
occasion OF something than cursory study OF
our undeveloped mineral resources. There are good
reasons for believing California still offers better in
ducements for mining investments than any other
region OF the earth, and the visit OF the engineers
will help to make those inducements known.

IMPERIAL HEDGING.

THE Chronicle is positive that the form OF gov
ernment provided for the Philippines will be
Territorial and not colonial 1t has been ap-
parent recently that the mperiaists beginning
to hedge on that subject Now the Chronicle says:
Owe have room in political system for colo
nles and no inclination to make room"
The Territorial system is declaration that all
these tropical acquisitions intended for statehood
and their people for citizenship and voice in the
politics and control OF this country AS, all told
they number 100000, with 100000 of voters the
threat to make them citizens is as menacng to our
welfare as holding them colonies is to theirs We
would like to know the mind of our returned volun-
teers to making full American citizens of the Fill
pinos. AS far it has been expressed they are
shown to be against it.
To away from colonial policy and into ulti-
mate statehood is exchange of the frying pan
for the fire If those tropical people fit for ult
ultimate independence, and should have it. We do
not need their help citizens OF this country They
bring nothing into such partnership that is Of profit
or Importance to AS our race cannot thrive
where they do the institutions we have created will
be exported and expected to flourish without our
presence to watch and tend them.
The American people do not want fellow citizenship
with those tropical races, and, not wanting it. they
know that the way to prevent it is to prevent the
first step toward it. That step is the proposed Ter
r1toral organization, which should be resisted by
every man who does not wish American citizenship
to be cheapened, diluted and polluted.

COLMA Incorporation SCHEME.

LIVER since the Supervisors in response to popu-
lar demand closed up the gambling which
- under the pretense OF racing had been carried
on at Inglesde Park, the gamblers with all their fol
lowing have been seeking means to resume their
nefarlous but profitable trade at some point near
enough San Francisco to enable them to drain the
pockets OF dupes in the future in the past.
An effort made to obtain from the Supervisors
Of San Mateo licenses for poorooms to be run in
connection with racetrack in that county but the Ell
fort failed A bolder scheme has now been undertaken
It is the purpose OF the gamblers and their Sausalto
allies to bring about il possible the incorporation OF
Colma town, their expectation being that the
government would be in the hands OF their tools
and that all license for gambling they desire would
be readily granted them within the town limits
For the purpose OF bringing about the incorpora-
ton a good deal OF canvassing has been done among
the residents, and strong inducements have been Of
fered them to favor the scheme One or two meet
ngs have been held to consider the issue and tonight
another is be held which time there will be sub
mitted for signatures petition requesting the Super
vsors to provide for special election the ques
ton.
1t goes without saying if such an election be held
the gamblers will carry and the residents OF the
vicinity will be showed under A considerable num-
Der OF are already employed. and it will
bling scheme to increase the number until it is sufi
cient the votes OF the genuine residents
OF the locality. The touts the toughs and all the
gang that hangs round fake racing parks and pool
rooms will be very willing assist the scheme for
making gambling hell out OF Colma and the eec
ton would be hardly than farce
The Supervisors OF San Mateo can hardly be g-
norant OF the effects OF the poorooms in
Sausalito and OF the kind of racing that was
carried at Ingesde Park just before public indg
nation compelled its suppression. The gambling
was OF the pernicious kind, and its corrupting
influence affected all classes, the young as well as
adults, and women as well as men To the evil
effects OF the track be traced robberies embez
Elements forgeres divorces ruined homes disgraced
families and suicides. So deadly was the curse and
so far-reaching its bghting effects that the
press almost without exception pastors OF churches
OF all creeds OF all parties united in the crusade
against it.
San Mateo will do well to profit by the experience
of San Francisco and Sausalito That county is the
suburban home Of many OF our best people It's lands
are valuable and the community prosperous because it
attracts itself families OF wealth and culture If it
become resort for gamblers and their following it
will lose its attractiveness to good citizens and
Colma, which now may fairly expect to become one
of the most delightful centers Of suburban life will
sink to the condition of resort OF backlegs and
other types Of depraved humanity.

THE MINING ENGINEERS.

IRON the assembling in this city of the conven-
ton OF the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers, which is to take place on the 25th of
this month, California has much to expect The
who to meet on that occasion are the
representatives Of the scientific and technical side of
the mining industry, and among the foremost in
the world in their profession 1t is upon their judg-
ment capitalists rely in making mining investments
1t is upon their skill mine operators depend for the
solution OF the difficult problems of the work
1t is inevitable that when they come to California
these engineers will take warmer interest in the
mining industries OF the State than ever before and
as result they will obtain a completer knowledge
They will go from the State with fuller and a
clearer idea of the possibilities of California mining
than they had when they came, and it is foregone
conclusion the reports they make of the prospects of
the mining counties will go far toward attracting TO
them the attention of mining capitalists not only in
this country but in Europe.
The institute holds its convention in this State IT
the invitation of the California Miners Association
and during the time the engineers are in the State
they will be in certain the guests of the asso-
citation. There has been arranged for them a well
