Present Day Thoughts.


Vino said Slaves pa lriendl,
editor writes me. "What have you {,
say as TO the legal right Of the United
States TO purchase 100000 persons
and To govern them without the con.
sent Of the governed ?" Just this.
That the United States has as much
right TO purchase 100000 people as il
has the right TO purchase one. But
the right to purchase one is non exis-
tent, so also is the right 10 purchase
100000 Just one other element
enters into this dictum: namely, that
the United States has neither purchased
one or 100000 To so phrase the
compact between the United States
aud Spain in relation to the Philip
pines, is a peryersion Of terms that is
quite too deep for the comprehension
Of the averaged unbiased man.
-
1t seems now to be thoroughly I'M
derstOOd that the question ofexpansion
will be a very vital element in the next
presidential campaign, aud very fitting
~ so, because it represents a policy
that while not new in the history of
the United States is new in this partic-
ular, that the expansion takes in terri
tory that is separated by vast stretches
Of water from the Union itself. This
is new in our history, very new; and as
all new things-new books, new bon
nets, new dresses, new babies-are
considered fl objects for comment and |
criticism there will naturally not be a
shrinking Of either great parties from
the fullest sort Of discussion in relation |
to new politics. This is quite as it |
should be, for while in the multitude
of counsellors there is wisdom, there is
also wisdom in the conflict Of thought.
The opposing notes prior to a great
national election in this country re-
mind one strangely Of the discords that
the few minutes prior to
the beginning Of a concert. These
discords, however, subside when the
conductor YIELDS his baton, and they
give place to The harmony that is pos
sibe with all the instruments. Thus
is it with our puissant nation when an
election is decided. Remember if you
will the fierce feelings that seemed to
run riot during the last presidential
Excitement was so intense
that wise men and brave men feared
violence would be shown by which
ever party was defeated. Remember,
too that two days after the election
the excitement had vanished and feel
ings were quiet

While among the protesting people
who oppose our assertion of power and
permanent commercial footing in the
Philippines, there are some men who
are distinguished in letters and some in
politics, it is noteworthy that on the
whole they stand for the same element
that at the time of the outbreak of the
rebellion clamored for peace at any
price, and who followed it up by abso-
lutte appeal for dissolution of the Union.
1t is likewise noteworthy that in the lot
of the protestants who signed the pc
tition to the Senate asking for rejection
of the treaty except on amendment so
as to exclude Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines, there is not the name of man
who took up arms for his country In
the late war or in the war OF the re-
bellion; not one who has performed dis
tinguished service for his nation when
it was in sore trouble or who bears the
stamp OF craftsmanship, with the ex-
ception Of Grover Cleveland; not one
who Is not infatuated with some pet
notion concerning governmental or So
cial reconstruction and change. And in
the list there is not a solitary sigma
ture from the South.

The splendid bearing and heroic con-
duct of the California volunteers in
the battle at Manila Of Sunday last
makes every California heart throb
with pride. Those who have sneered
at the National Guardsmen, and ex-
pressed the thought that they could
not fight effectively, will be driven to
change of judgment. The volunteers,
it appears, saved the situation more
than once. Idaho, Tennessee, Washing
ton and Utah troops did heroic service
but to the California Guardsmen was
reserved the glory Of saving a battal-
ion Of Federal regulars from destruc-
ton. All honor to the First Infantry
of California and its clear-headed AMI
gallant commanding officers. Especially
to Lieutenant Colonel Victor NJ Duboce
will the plaudits of the people go out;
for he appears to have had all the
daring, dash and discretion which
should distinguish a commander. He
so handled the regiment he being
temporarily in command while Colonel
Smith acted in another capacity for the
army-that it became chief factor in
the fight, and not only a conquerer, but
a reScuer

In the battle of Sunday at Manila two
boats did especial good service. Both
of them are little gunboats which Ad
miral Dewey captured from the Span
ish. One of them, the smaller, he had
sunk in the May battle But he raised
and refitted the craft. On Sunday last
the larger of these gunboats lay in
near shore, and as our troops drove
the Filipinos toward the beach west
of Manila the gunboat opened on them,
and the slaughter became terrible.
Meanwhile the smaller gunboat, armed
with Gatling guns ascended the Pasig
River and swept out of existence a
native village that was rebel strong.

flee to the interior. It seems that the
Admiral did not permit his flagship to
take part in the fight, but used her to
keep watch and ward over Spanish
and a German war vessel lying off the
city front Clearly, the Admiral did
not propose to permit any interference
on any grounds whatever. Dewey Is
not only a gallant fighter, but he ap-
pears to have an especially ''long head, 70

defender of the bill and the offender of
every body who wanted anything. He
contended that the present law was
ample. He said there was no need Of
a law to protect people against cor
porations-an honest jury was all that
was required.
Davis said there We're Senators on
the floor who We're in deadly earnest
with reference to the bill, and it would
be well if others also We're in earnest.
He said the condition of things in San
Francisco was such that the street car
companies could take no action, and
the bill was intended to protect the
railway companies from boodling
Boards of Supervisors. He said if the

The Democrats in the Senatorial joint
convention yesterday left Stephen M.
White and voted solidly for Colonel
Smith Of the First Infantry Regiment
of California Volunteers, now at Ma
nila This is the hardest rap Stephen
M. has received yet. He refused to
comply with the instructions of the
Legislature, unanimously passed, to
vote for ratification of the treay of
Paris; on the contrary, he paired so
as to record his vote against the treaty.
His attitude, along with the conjoint
action of other Senate insurgents,
brought on the bloody conflict at Ma
nila on Sunday, where American lives
We're sacrificed and blood flowed in
many broad streams from the wounds
of American youths. 1t was very fit

Milton J. Green was not at any time
present in the Assembly yesterday, but
he succeeded in keeping that body in
ferment pretty much all day not
withstanding.
From the time when he was due at
postponed just before adjournment in
the late afternoon, Green, his state
ment, his contempt and his future
career were matters of discussion and
debate, only interrupted by the one
Senatorial ballot and the noon recess
The statement of Green was offered
by the youthful. Mr.. Works of San
Diego, and the accompanying resolu-
tion calling for the dismissal of Mr..
Green from contempt, was offered by
the youthful Mr. Crowder of San Diego,
and during the subsequent proceedings.

close to the youthful pair, apparently
coaching them, and also, very appar-
ently-chewing gum.

which it was couched stung the Assem-
bly, into more acrid speech than it has
before INDUCED in and, without doubt,
materially lessened such sympathy as
has gathered in the breasts OF mem
bers during the days of his illness. A
somewhat detailed account of the de-
hate and arp11yoantc conneotad with the
matter will be found in the Assembly
proceedings.
The result, so far, is that Green is
still held in contempt of the House, is
still under citation to appear before the
bar, and is to be favored with the in
spection of a joint committee of doc
tors and legislators who will inquire
into his physical and mental health and
into the possibilities of his appearance
in the Assembly Chamber
AS for the committee, which by the
terms Of Crowder's resolution, was to
be discharged, that body still continues
to live and to suffer.
On Friday next, at $3.50 o. m further
action will be taken on Browns res
olution calling for the arrest of Green,
unless he should at that time appear.
THE JOINT SESSION.
Yesterdays joint session of the Leg
1slature was merely a repetition of
those which had preceded it. 1t began
with the solemn assertion that the as
sembly had convened to elect a United
States Senator to succeed the Hon. Ste
phen NJ. White, and ended with the
announcement that the effort had re-
suited in failure. As a matter of fact,
ordinary laymen seemed to take little
interest in those monotonous, formal
ballots, and give the torture chamber
wide berth. The crowds are small,
and the interest smaller One ballot
and no change. Voting to be continued
