AN IMPROPER REQUEST.


A proposition in the nature Of an ap-
peal to the Navy Department has been
made by the managers of a Peace Jubi-
lee fair, to be held in Washington in
May, to have Admiral Dewey ordered
home that the fair people may have
him on exhibition; that is the English
of it. 1t ought to be denied. First, be-
cause to remove Admiral Dewey from
his post just now, except for illness,
would have bad effect in the Philip
pines. 1t would be heralded abroad by
the enemy that he had been recalled
because our Government rebuked his
action. Second, he is needed in the
Philippines now more than at any time
since the destruction of Montijo's fleet.
Third, it would be unseemly Cor the
Government to lend itself to a scheme
to make Admiral Dewey show feat
ure. He himself would resent such an
exhibition, and even if ordered home
will very likely seek the rest that seclu-
sion alone can bring.

proclamation of President Mckinley re-
garding our occupation of the Philip
pines. This appears to have united the
insurgents, disintegration ceased and
Aguinaldo was ready for war. and he
did not long delay in making it, the
insurgent congress having voted him
power to declare war against the Unit
ed States, and he desiring conflict be-
fore our reinforcements could arrive.
This effectually disposes of the con-
stantly preached story that we pro-
voked the war by reason of our sentries
indiscreetly firing upon a Filipino sneak
ing into camp without the watchword.
The truth is, the fellow attempted to
creep into camp for the very purpose Of
provoking sentry to shoot and he sue
ceeded That was the scheme of Agui-
naldo and it worked we'll This also
disposes of the statement dwelt upon
by the anti-expansionists that all Agui-
naldo wanted was liberty for his peo-
pie The truth is he wanted that only
upon the condition that we would re-
main to protect him in the enjoyment of
his toy. That is to say, the Filipinos
were to be at liberty to do as they
pleased, play havoc with the Spanish
under cover of our recognition and pro-
lection. That is the long and short OF

Mr.. Bryan has overshot his mark. 1t,
as he leads Mr. Belmont to believe, he
expects to become the Democratic
leader in 1900 under the Chicago plat
form banner, with some addition of
claptrap, anti-expansion sentiment
welded on insecurity, he has calculated
beyond the reasonable probabilities.
Mr. Belmonts reply that it will be hard
work to pull against the sentiment of
the man who wants his wage paid in
gold and can get it, is a correct state
ment of fact Mr.. Bryan will not be able
to pose dramatically through another
silver campaign in this century. AS for
his expansion views, it is far too
early to make forecasts as to what sort
of an issue that may be when the next
campaign comes on. We can under
stand, however, very we'll why Mr.
Bryan would have felt uncomfortable
at a Jeffersonian banquet, since Mr.
Jefferson was an original and uncon-
cealed expansionist.

Aguinaldo is a boaster He declares
that he will attack Manila and take the

within twenty days. That is rather a

Estate of Herman Roger. Decree Of
distribution. Reversed.
Held, that under the Constitution OF
1879 Article TX, Section 9. and under
the Organic Act of 1868, and looking
to the origin and purposes of the insti-
tuition, the University of California is
an entity, capable of taking My be-
quest 1t is, an instrumentality of the
State created by the Legislature acting
within its just powers. That the Re
gents are by law made the governing
body of the University and required to
incorporate it under the laws of the
State is not inconsistent with the con-
tinued existence Of the University as a
public corporation; and the fact that
the Organic Act in terms provides that
grants and gifts may be made to the
Regents and to the State, and does not
provide in terms that grants and gifts
may be made to the University does not
indicate that it was intended that the
University was to be incapable Of talk
ing by gift, grant or bequest. The Or
ganic Act of 1868 leaves the property
of the University with it and only gives
to the Board of Regents the custody
and control of it.
The University Of California comes
plainly within the commonly accepted
definition Of a public corporation.

 United States Rubber company com mon stock took an upward turn the latter part of the week, selling from 51 to 54 1-2 The annual report to be given out to stockholders on May 16th is looked for with considerable interest.
