PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS

san Francisco Call.
by all odds the most important part
OF the work undertaken by the recent
iy organized Traffic Association is that
Of urging the appointment OF repre-
sentative OF the Pacific coast to the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Such
an appointment would be recognition
OF the rights Of this section OF the
Union and would rlace In q position Of
power and authority guardian OF
those rights whenever threatened,
Events now occurring manifest clear
" the need OF such representative,
Tor some time past the aggressive mer-
chants and manufacturers OF st. Louis
and Chicago have been seeking to In
duce the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to so change freight rates as
to give to those cities and others In the
same region Of the country a consider
able advantage over the cities Of the
sea coasts on both the Atlantic and
the Pacific side Of the country. II the
scheme be carried out the merchants
and the manufacturers Of the Pacific
coaA viii be so heavily handicapped
that many Of them will be virtually
crowded out OF business
The merchants Of this city have taken
active and we'll considered steps to
avert the danger, BY the organization
OF the Traffic Association they have not
only required a greater force than they
could have exerted by acting separate
ly, but they have been able to rally to
their aid in the contest the more en-
terprlslng citizens Of other Pacific coast
cities. It is now certain that when the
issue Is joined with st. Louis and
Chicago before the Commerce Commits
sion San Francisco will not have to
make the fight alone. The whole Pa
clfc coast for once will be united for
the maintenance Of its rights.
While the immediate point at Issue is
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-26

that OF settling freight rates, Il viii be
readlly perceived that even a complete
Victory for us on that score would be
Of but temporary value, since the ques-
tion could and probably would be re-
opened ~ the next meeting Of the COM
mission So long as We have not In
that body n representative Of our In
terests, 40 long win there be danger OF
the establishment Of rates which will
work material harm TO our merchants
and our industries. The main point,
therefore. which II now at stake II that
Of obtaining such representation and to
that end all the commercial and polIu-
cal influences Of the coast should b.
directed
IN an emergency or this kind II would
be- folly TO Introduce state preJudlces or
HntagonlsmR The object Of the move
ment Il not TO advance the fortunes Of
some candidate in this state or in Ore
gon or Washington, but 10 bring about
the selection OF q strong. able, resolute,
mganlous man 10 represent the whole
Pacihc coast on the commission and 10
guard IT, interests In all controversies
over the regulation Of rates.
The time, therefore. has come for
the exercise of genuine Pacific coast
patriotiSrn. If there be division among
ourselves there viii be but a forlorn
hope OF winning. but II the representa-
tlycS Of all the coast cities can unite
In urging the selection Of some man
who will represent the whole coast. the
much desired object may be attained.
The issue ls one whose Importance can
not be ignored and II Is gratifying TO
note that at present all prospects point
to the conclusion that the merchants
of the coast are In thorough accord
on the subject and are going TO work
together In harmony 20 that end

AFRrKANDER CONSTITUTIONS.

Now that the two Dutch states ol

types OF civil polity they have endeay

NOR interesting for the reason thai
their constitutions were not EVOLVED
| from earlier systems In those lands
nor In any degree borrowed from othel
lands. but the original conceptions anC
creations OF the emigrant farmers whc
founded those states.
The Orange constitution is a brief and
explicit document OF liberal tone. 1;
grants citizenship ON equal and easy
terms to all white men, makes all citi-
ems eligible to Office. guarantees free
dom OF speech, OF the press and Of pub
lie meetings. establishes religious free
dom and equality. and makes the courts
independent OF the legislative and ex-
ecutlve departments OF government.
The legislature consists OF one chamber.

fourths maJoritles In two annual ses-
slons and to launch and to lmpeach the
president by three -fourths major
ity. The president ls elected by all the
people. He has no veto power. and his
own acts and orders may be reversed
by the legislature.
The Transvaal constitution is much
longer, much involved and obscure In
meaning II welcomes all corners to the
republic, but declares that equality be-
tween the white and colored races shall
not be tolerated either in state or in
church. II forblds the exlstance with

now tolerated. To this day, however.

the Boer belief being that the negroes
have no souls. The supreme authority
is nominally vested In legislative
body, elected, but not In a representa-
tive manner, to which only members of
the Reformed Dutch church are eligible.
This legislature may alter or amend
the constitution at any time at will. All
laws must, however, be proposed to It
by the president OF the republic, who
Is elected by popular vote. and who
must, OF course, be member Of the Re-
formed church. All members Of the
cabinet, as indeed all government of
ficers, must belong to that church.
There is a second legislative chamber,
with no real power whatever, The
courts were originally independent, but
have now been made subordinate to the
executive. and have been forbidden to
interpret or to pass upon the constitu-
tionality Of laws, No person who is OF
negro blood or whose parents in any Of
four generations back belonged to ma
tive race can own land or enjoy civil
rights.

to appoint men altogether. These APP
plicants are known to be men who do
not wish to combine business with
church work
The Rev. DIR. George NJ. Christian,
now Of Newark, N. j., has accepted
call to succeed the late Rev. T. Nick.
Brown as pastor of the Church Of
st. Mary the Virgin in New York DR..
Christian is a high-Church man and
has achieved some celebrity in the gem
eral conventions of his church by
steadfast and earnest support of church
traditions and his Anglican tendencies.
Twelve years ago he combatted in
general convention proposed changes
in the Nicene Greed and came to be
acknowledged by his efforts at that
time as one of the leaders of his party.
DIR. Christian is n graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and has held
various rectorates since leaving St.
Marks church, Philadelphia where he
was Curate. DR.. Christian is a belicv-
er in missions and has conducted very
successful ones in several large cities.
His acceptance of the cali to New
York has been somewhat of surprise
to New Jersey churchmen, as it has
generally been believed that he stood
an excellent chance Of becoming
| bishop.
| 1t is said that the Rev. DR.. Gustav
| Gattheil, rabbi of the Temple Emanu-
| FL, New York, is thinking of retiring
! Dr. Gottheil, who now is more than II
years old, favOrs the appointment to
| his important post of younger man,
who is physically fitted to perform the
! manifold duties of the office. II is well
| known that DR.. Gottheil represents the
so-called moderate reform class Of Ju-
daism, which was founded in the Uni
| ted states by the Rev. Drs. Isaac NJ.
| Wise, David EinhOrn and Samuel
Hirsch. The main object of these men
! was to make Judaism attractive to the
rising genera tiOns by substituting Eng
| lish for Hebrew, by teaching 'laW
rather than letter" and by eliminating
from the ritual certain forms and OBJ
servances Of an Oriental character
which were out of place in this coun-
try The leading position occupied by
the Temple Emanu-El makes the selec-
| tion Of a worthy successor to DIR. Gott-
he'll very difficult matter. DR.. Emil
G. Hirsch, the talented rabbi Of Sinai
| temple. Chicago, has been mentioned
for the position.
