California Municipalities is the title
of new magazine issued monthly at
San Francisco by H. A. Mason, editor
and B. F. Lamborn,. business manager.
1t is not very fat Magazine; why
should it be at the outset? Rus it ia
meaty and suggests the thought that
there is room, a field and need for Just
such periodical-for such a magazine
as we hope to see this new venture
grow to be. But as it is, it is credit
able, full of promise and if 1t lives along
the direction it has started upon it will
be powerful factor in that ever pres
ent problem of good municipal govern
ment. We wish the new journal sue
cess. It's aim is the Improvement of
the municipality, the betterment of city
government, the exchange of exper-
fences and suggestions between munich
pal officers, the publication of official
reports, recommendations etc., and the
maintenance of a bureau of informa-
ton by the League of California Mu-
inequalities is warmly promoted by it.
We like the spirit with which the mag
aZine starts out, and bespeak for it a
fair show on all sides.

The first conference between Admiral
Dewey and President Mckinley. has
resulted in movement that assuredly
does not bear out the expectations of
the anti -expansionists that Admiral
Dewey would be found on their side,
nor tend to sustain the charge that he
pledged the United States to recognize
the independence of the insurgent gov
ernment, so-called. For the Admiral
advised the President to renewed activ-
ity by the American, squadron in the
archipelago. Accordingly the armored
cruiser Brooklyn, the finest Of all our
cruisers in commission, the New Or
leans, an auxiliary cruiser and the
smaller vessel, the Bancroft, have been
ordered from the Atlantic side to pro-
ceed at once to Manila, while from this
side the Badger will be directed to the
same destination and other vessels will
soon follow. This strengthening of the
fleet in Philippine waters is for the ex-
press purpose of enabling the naval
arm to render greater assistance in
suppression Of the insurrection by more
thoroughly policing the waters, main
tanning the blockades declared and with
the lighter boats cruising in shallow
waters of the islands in line with the
main purpose, the speedy crushing of
the insurrection. So much for Dewey's
first given advice. When he chooses
to speak on the charge that he prom
ised Aguinaldo and Alejandrino the in
dependence of their so-called govern
ment it will be found that they have
lied; that the Admiral never even
thought of such a pledge where he
knew he had no authority whatever to
bind,

rivals or perhaps three will strive to
divide world power with her-Russia,
Germany and the United States with
perhaps a calculable influence emanat-
ing from Japan. England's success in
conducting the affairs of distant colon
les and in holding those colonies to-
gether is TO arouse the jealousy of the
nations that do not speak her Ian
guage.- Though a peace conference has
met at The Hague and though human
ity will some day learn to hate war yet
it is to be feared that a struggle for
world supremacy is yet to come tfrom
commercial motives. This struggle will
not be between nations as nations but
rather between races as races.
In consequence there will probably be
endeavors from time to time to snatch
away some portions of that vast gov
ernment or to destroy the body of it's
empire by attacking and destroying the
head that rests in little England.
Herein may not Canada benefit the
motherland? Canada is the largest
stretch of land under the control of
England and its whole position is fav-
orable for permanency. England is
nothing but a comparatively small
island never more than a few hours
away from hostile attack and never
more than a few weeks distant from
starvation if attacked. 1t is called upon
to strain every nerve in holding
against every conner the little island
whose integrity means SO much to
every quarter of the globe. The ten
dency will be to recognize the danger
of maintaining the center of power
where power can be cut off. This dan
ger will be recognized by each part OF
the whole. Out of these feelings ,will
probably grow vital federation OF the
British possessions wherein each spot
of England's s vast rule will be left free
to attend to it's internal affairs, but
wherein also each part will have
voice by representation in relation to
the protection and maintenance of the
whole. 1t is unsafe to prophesy that
the center of this vast government will
be moved entirely away from the ISL
land where permanency is in danger to
a central city in Canada where perma-
nency will be in no danger? Canadas
position recommends her for the me-
tropolis of Greater Britain. She is mid
way between the east and the west,
equally well protected on either side,
tnaversed by a railroad that binds her
parts together in one, developing to the
point of maintaining untold millions
more than she now does, and in close
touch with the other great part of the
English speaking rulers of the world.
If all this shall be it will be another
demonstration once and for all that
there is no combination of problems
that the English speaker is unable TO
cope with and that his adjustability is
bounded only by the never ending de-
mands of new conditions,

more of need than of love that has
hitherto made Canadian statesmen so
much as think of a political union with
the United States. Her growing COM
mercial independency is showing her
that she can meet her own needs.
This is more likely to increase. her
love for us than to decrease it; for it is
somewhat against human nature for
US to love sincerely any one upon whom
we are greatly dependent The strong
er Canada becomes the better neighbor
will she be for her strong neighbor in
the south. We shall make Uncle Sam
look foolish indeed if we prompt him
to interpret neighborliness as wedlock
1t is safe to hope that the power of
one language, one literature, one COM
mon stock will bring Canadians and
Americans to mutual and lasting trust
without departure on either side for one
moment from the condition of free and
independent friends.
Perhaps it may be pardonable to let
the imagination run forward in relation
to Canada's future. She and her neigh
bor will conclude that there can be no
misunderstanding between the two and
both will continue to admit the fool
ishness of fortifying themselves the
one against the other; but both Will
also come to the condition where if
the coast of one is touched by hostile
finger the heart of the other will be
stirred to action Barricaded by snow
and ice on the north and bounded on
the south by her puissant friend she
will be approachable only on the shores
of the Atlantic and of the Pacific.
Her improving conditions will rapidly
place her where she cannot be starved
out, nor frightened out, nor driven out,
and even should a hostile fleet cross the
watery bulwarks of two great oceans
her inland cities would still be in no
danger
1t is in consequence of. her uncon-
querable position that one is prompted
to theorize as to her relation to the rest
of the British Empire. Whether Great
Britain becomes a republic or stays a
kingdom it is scarcely likely that her
great foreign policy will be altered
! Consequently the loose rein that she
has held over her various colonies will
still suffice to hold them together in
one and make them continue to be
part of the greatest extent of rule ever
| instrusted to one nation since the
world began. But while the next CEN
tury will probably see her strength in
creasing, at the same time two other

ARE WE IMPERIALISTS?

Humboldt Standard: The anti-im-
perialists are fighting a straw man.
They claim that it is the ambition OF
this Government to establish an i'm
perial form Of government, virtually an
empire. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. We could not liberate Cuba
from the tyranny Of Spain without oc-
cupying that island, and taking charge
of it's chaotic affairs until the Cubans
may be able to form and maintain a
stable government of their own. This
policy is being carried out in Cuba
with good results, and just as soon as
Cuba shall be ready to form and main
tain a good government-one which will
maintain a good peace and good order,
with ample protection to the lives and
property of all residents of Cuba, our
occupation will terminate. This is a
work of humanity, a work of charity
and love. Even Bryan commends it.
Porto Rico, which received our troops
with enthusiasm, is rapidly learning
that the free government of America,
with local self-government as soon as
they can establish and maintain it, is
far better than Spanish rule. In few
years Porto Rico will be happy, we'll

naldo, who sold out to the Spaniards
and left the islands, returned under the
protection of our flag and our guns. He

store order and protect the
lives and property of all residents

WILL sACRAMENTANs DO IT?

Aguinalde declares in his latest Off
cial proclamation that the success of
the Democratic party means independ-
ence for him and defeat Of American
arms. Now then, shall it be sent
abroad on the wings of news that the
Capital City of California has gone
Democratic in an election in which
party lines were drawn, party nomina
tions made and party men nominated
as such?
The people at the East know nothing
of our municipal affairs or local is
sues. When next months election is
over the news concerning it will be sent
abroad as either Republican or Demo-
cratic victory. No matter how much
local Democrats may assert their 10y
atty, and declare that they are not In
sympathy with Aguina1do, it will re-
main true that when the election news
reaches Aguinaldo he will be justified,
if the outcome is Democratic, in de-
claring to his followers that the Capital
City Of the State Of California, the
State nearest to the Philippines and
most intimately related to the islands
commercially and otherwise. has de-
clared for the party that is friendly to
the Malay cause and opposed to sup
preston OF the insurrection.
So, too, at the East the anti-ex-
pansionists Will accept the triumph of
the Democracy here as a distinct re-
buke by the Capital of California
the war, and In favor Of the doctrine
preached by Mr.. Bryan, who as late
as last week at Canton, ILL.,, declared
that Dewey should have sailed for
home after destroying the Spanish
fleet" just as he has argued that the
war ought to close within forty y-eight
hours and the islands be abandoned to
Filipino control.
That is the logic of his whole con-
tention. His statement regarding the
action Of Dewey is exact quotation. 1t

had not been impeded by opposition at
home the war would have been ended
by this time. While it dislikes the Re-
publican party and the Administration
it believes in standing behind the latter
in this war and upholding it in it's ef-
forts to maintain the authority of the
United States in the Philippines. That
is very frank and very courageous on
the part of the Journal" and might

far more pretentious papers which

DEWEY,

Colusa Sun: Admiral Dewey is one
of the great men of this country that
has been prolific of great men, but his
would be worshipers are placing him in
a very awkward position. They are
placing all the stress on the battle of
Manila, and history will not place it
among the great naval exploits. 1t
was the directness with which Dewey
went about the destruction of the Span
ish fleet. and the 'consummate skill with
which he managed affairs at Manila
that will give his name a place in his
tory, not only as a great naval officer,
but as a statesman. But the historian
will find much to regret in the seeming
misrepresentation of his qualities by the
American people. The sensation mon
gers have placed the battle of Manila
as the sole pedestal on which his fame
must rest. The San Francisco "Chron-
icle," commenting on an article of
Goldwin Smith, in which het calls that
fight mere sport" says that 'the
greatness of Dewey is not SO much in
the ships he sunk and burned as in the
risks he took" If a mans greatness
is TO be measured by "the risks he
took" then Hobson must stand far
ahead of Dewey. But Hobson is not
greater man than Dewey, and the lat
ter would not like to chance his fame
on the position of the Chronicle" al

be offered for the tomfoolery of the

GRADUATING EXERCISES.

The graduating exercises of the High
school pupils We're held yesterday after
noon in the High school auditorium in
the presence of scores Of he relatives
and friends of the bright pupils. =
There were two orations, the speakers
Delng Emma Margaret Savage and
Grace Milford Wilson, graduates. Miss
Wilson'S Grafton was on Antonio" She
said in part: =
If the unwritten lives of some of the
worlds bravest heroes We're Known,
how great would be the number, who,
struggling and striving in their hum
BILE way. ave helped to make the
world what it is. Who, unknown and
aforementioned, have been hidden be-
hind the great deeds of their more POM
pous brethren. 1t is an oft-noted fact
that those most deserving often re-
ceive least mention. Much has been
written about Shylock, many have been
the eulOgieS on Portia, very little has
been said about Antonio, very little either
in praise or by "a of criticism. With
the character of Shylock in mind, An
tonic drops almost entirely out of sight,
and yet it should not be thus; if there
were no Antonio there would be no Shy
lock. In Antonio, the Merchant of
venice. we find a man, sweet hammered,
kin hearted, cheerful in time of prosper
1ty or adversely. His gentleness and
sweetness of character leave the i'm
preston that he was a man to be trust
ed, a man in whom to confide, a man
whose influence. was elevating and in
! spring."
Miss Savage spoke on 1.-The New Wo-
man of Yesterday" She said in part:
"Ihe phrase, the new woman has
become SO familiar to our ears that
we but seldom think of it's origin. 1t
IS pleasantly easy to detect the evolution
OF the new wonan of today from the
new woman of yesterday. Within the
space of a hundred years we have seen
her bidding goodbye to the schoolma'am
when n education was good enough
Tor a girl, not only because neither the
Kitchen nor the drawing room exacted
more, out because heavier pabulun
would utterly ruin her digestion; and now
we see her when no education is good
enough for her bidding goodbye to
an army of instructors at commence
ment time, radiant in her gown, the class
song ringing pleasantly in her ears, the
health of June in her life, with a cris,
diploma to symbolic her triumphs anu
stimulate her after exertions.
John Alden, passing through the
spring woods of Massachusetts,, came
to the cottage of his love and saw hel
seated beside her spinning wheel sing.
ing a psalm as she worked. The mod
ern youth often finds the girl of his
heart spinning a wheel with fully as
much grace as her predecessors, and viii
results fully as conducive to health ant
beauty, as We're the efforts of her grand
mother.
The Illustrator of life is not only re.
Meeting forms and manner of the pres.
emit, but he is creating history, and from
such sources shall we draw the distinc.
ton betWeen the new woman of today
and the new woman of yesterday"
