DAN BURNS PLAN.

HE Canadian Annex of the Examiner pub
lished as an evening paper in San Francisco,
quotes Dan Burns having said: There are
two kinds of Senators. One is the Patrick Henry,
the Daniel Webster kind the old-fashoned kind,
whose oratory telling weapon when great ques-
tons settled by debates and the floor OF the
house. But great Questions no longer settled
that way They decided in committee rooms.
The modern, successful Senator is an energetic push
ing, strong worker. That is what l could be. That
is where my ability lies
These words are worthy of Colonel Mazuma Dan
Burns is entitled the credit adopt the pacarded
euogy OF "The Man from Mexico" "of smashing all
records in his definition of the class OF politicians OF
which he is exemplar and of his peculiar
qualifications to represent the State of California in
the Senate OF the United States We commend this
proclamation to the Legislature. 1t will greatly
simplify their labors. In choosing Senator to aid
in establishing the future historical relations between
the Senate and the Federal Government, they need
not look beyond the level of an inferior type of
municipal boss. Brains, learning, experience, force
of expression, intensity of conviction, radical in
tegrity, the inclination and the power to challenge
public scrutiny of official action be eliminated
from their demands in the choice of Senator Whites
successor. All they need to find is secretve and
treless worker in the committees, that to super
sede the Senate in the solution of great questions"
and presto! that has been done for them by Dan
Burns.
AS Calico once observed, ''the world moves"
Within the last few months have been frequently
informed that Washington is back number, with a
plain inference that the shrieking editorials OF the
Examiner are to be read when the Farewell Ad-
dress is forgotten, and that century hence, when
the flag shall have been permanently nailed to the
tree of Despotism, the shriveled features of the
Father of his Country will be replaced by the mod
ernized face and head of Mr.. Hearst The Thomas
Jefferson who mainly wrote the Declaration of In
dependence has given place to an Asatic counterfeit
whose praises sung by the Examiner and by Pro-
fessor Davidson. Madison Monroe and Jackson are
mere relics of ancient and forgotten history. Gen
era Merritt behalf of his countrymen, has out
grown the constitution, which has ceased to be
legitimate topic for discussion Julian Hawthorne
has cut the apron strings that connected the Fathers
OF the Republic with the American people. Men like
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, ridiculed as "od
grannies." And now Dan Burns the immaculate
graduate from the lower depths OF politics. tells
that he is the legitimate successor of Daniel Webster
because he is condensed product of this age, full of
push and energy" and Strong worker who only
needs the privacy of the committee room to be a
success!

HOW GREAT BRITAIN DOES 1T.

c INCE so many vociferous imperalists have been
y loudly clamoring for the adoption by this coun-
- try of the British system of colonial expansion,
writer for the Boston Globe has taken the trouble
to make Investigations into the ways and means by
which the British have made their expansion policy
SO popular among politicians of all parties AS re-
suit OF his studies he has published some information
concerning colonial salaries in the British empire
which is interesting
From these it appears that the Governor of Jamaica
which in importance fairly corresponds to Porto
Rico, gets 100000 year. The Governor of Ceyon.
about equal to Cuba gets $4,000. The British have
no colonial possessions similar to the Philippines,
but the Governor OF such comparatively small pos
session in the Orient the Strait Settlements gets
$4,000 year and the Governor of India gets $I25,-
ooo that under British control the Governor of the
Philippines would receive certainly not less than $780,
ooo yearly salary
Moreover each of these colonial digntaries has a
large staff A considerable number of officials in
India paid from 100000 to 500 900 year, and in
the smaller colonies subordinate officers are paid in
proportion Beneath these higher dgnitaries there
host Of lesser officials many Of whom receive an
amount of pay that is enough to justify colonial ex-
pansion in the eyes of every place hunter in the
kingdom
While the publication of this list is calculated to
make the American taxpayer hesitate about adopting
the colonial system the British plan it will be an
incentive to renewed exertons the part of the
politicians. With the bare possibility of such spoils
in prospect the gangs OF both parties will feel thrill
mpeling them to favor the annexation OF everything
within reach. Nor will it be surprising if great
many OF them persuade themselves that the thrill is
one of patriotism.
The British it is said, have adopted the practice OF
paying large salaries to colonial officers because ex-
perience taught them the folly OF undertaking such
governments with cheap We, OF course will
try the cheap process. 1t is way. There will be
spoils however, in the colonies The average Amer
lean job chaser who gets place in the Philippines
will find way of making it as remunerative as
the traffic will bear

Der of demands in excess of the so-called

fund, which the committee will by an

affairs, endeavor to provide for the pay

EXTRAORDINARY CONTUMACY.

u CCORDING to Chief Lees, the Judges OF the
/ \ Police Court standing in the way OF
the suppression OF the pool-room evil. On
Saturday last he attempted to procure warrants for
the arrest OF several booksellers south of Market
street and met by those officials with fiat re-
fusa to issue them. This completely blocked his
operations, whereupon he sat down and wrote the
Merchants Association, incosng copy of report
by Captain Spillane, setting forth in detail the
grounds OF the refusal and the fact that his officers
could not do their duty under the circumstances.
No explanation has been made OF the action OF the
Police Judges in the premises. 1t is unoficially
stated that they have disagreed as to what particular
Judge shall try the pooroom cases, and that there
fore they have concluded in the absence OF agree
ment, not to issue any warrants at all No defense
OF the Police Judges is attempted. They simply eXer
else arbitrary power, which they possess and which
they at liberty to exercise in the absence OF
greater power to compel them to do their duty
This is really the most extraordinary situation
which has ever yet beset San Francisco. The law
is. being violated by large number of booksellers.
That is recognized even by the Police Judges them
selves. But because they cannot agree who shall
try the cases-n other words who shall incur the
political odum OF prosecuting certain class OF in
huential criminals-the Police Judges calmly refuse
TO set the machinery OF the law in motion and bring
the booksellers to the bar of justice
1t would seem as though it were about time for
somebody to take the Police Judges in hand. Those
officials have discretion in the issuance of war
rants, provided an offense is sworn to. II Captain
Spillane and his officers are willing to that a
crime has been committed there is no power au-
thorized to refuse the issuance of warrant Alter
the booksellers arrested the Police Judges may
make political combinations with them and release
them but for that they will be responsible the pub
lie. They have authority whatever to refuse to
issue warrants and in doing SO they amenabe to
impeachment.
The Police Court has fallen rather deeply into poll
tics OF late and its powers being exercised lille
ultimately all around; but this is the most fragrant
hibition have seen of its weakness and contempt
for the law. II the four gentlemen who preside over
its affairs know what is good for them they will cease
doing" machine politics and take hold of the cause
OF Justice in different spirit If they do not do so
there is bound shortly to be thorough cleaning out
Of their department of the government.

has become wearied by close confine-
ment and wishes to expand" and will
form union with any and all coun-
tries desiring such an alliance who
have the following qualifications:
First-They must be in the tropics,
where our army of occupation will be-
come decimated, which, of course, of it
self is bad; but it will afford occupa-
ton for pension agents and put much
money. in circulation.
Second-They must be mostly brown
or black people. This will seem queer,
but the white race is getting too smart
and a mixture Of the dusky races will
tone them down.
Third-They must be mostly naked.
1t would be a great financial stroke to
furnish them with, say about ten mill
lion, suits of clothes.
Fourth-They must be lazy, fight with
their fists or with corn knives, and be
tinctured with leprosy and with some
other diseases. We must have an out
let for our ambitious politicians who
are advertising for jobs. (Watterson is
the last.) We have seen what admira-
BILE work bacteria did with the native
when Captain Cook first called on
them, to 10000 at the present time.
Thus $780, 900 were made happy by the
wonderful influence of civilization.
When we get them clothed we would
have the Coroner and the undertaken
ready to make their last sad offering.
We might need Cuba then for our Mo-
lokai. In fact, we might use all "our
islands," with their interesting fauna,
for the exclusive habitation of The
Messrs. Bacillus Lepra.
Fifth-There must be not over Is per
cent of white people. Not that we love
the white people less, but the black
more. Then the white would want of
flee and would be troublesome. One per
cent would suit better. In fact, the
Philippines about suit US.
Sixth-They must be far away. It
would then require many great ships,
which we could float around the world
and let our Oriental cousins look at us
dixie the big boy who grows his first
whiskers). 1t would put much money
in circulation to build the ships, and we
would easily damn the surplus that we
are going to have when our admiral BILE
tax system gets in good working order.
Then, too, distance lends enchantment
to the view" and we could entertain
our people over the wire and divert
their attention from home matters. It
is not well for them to longest their
brains too much on home affairs, for
everything is running smoothly here
and this is a free country; free and
easy. A. E. BRIGGS.

Bryan's expressions OF view come to the people as
surprise. For weeks before the declaration OF war
With Spain Bryanites were telling how different things
would have been with Bryan in the White House.
He would not have temporized, not he He would
have issued ultimatum commanding Spain to get
off her high horse and in OF refusal have knocked

eye would have flashed fire, and his voice would have
been thunder note of battle
