THE ILLS OF PENNSYLVANIA.

~ NE of the severest arraignments ever made
| against American commonwealth is that
~ published in the Atlantic for October under
the title The Ills of Pennsylvania The writer
who signs himself "A Pennsylvania" begins by
pointing out that when Philadelphia recently tried to
borrow 100000 at per cent she obtained only
$5ooo and adds: when political knavery reaches
the point where the States financial credit is i'm
paired, then calouscd Pennsylvania realizes that
it is no longer mere cry of wolf, and begins a
searching of hearts"
The writer that politically Pennsylvania is
the most corrupt State in the Union, and he quotes
with approval the saying of Philadelphia editor
81 have lived in Nevada in the boom times, have
lived in New York through several administrations
have lived in the easy virtue of official Washing
ton; Pennsylvania beats them all. Pennsylvania has
every kind Of political devltry ever saw or heard Of
elsewhere and few kinds that she has evolved her
self"
After citing numerous instances of official corrup
ton in Philadelphia and in the State and several
illustrations of the toleraton of the abuses by the
better class OF citizens, the writer goes on to explain
that the evils due mainly to the fact that the
pie are so much absorbed in business affairs, or in
the maintenance of the Pennsylvania idea of dig
nfed social position that they not only neglect poll
tics, but occasionally for performing
their political duties. He says: Pennsylvania is a
State of large corporations; office in them is more
attractive than political Office The president of the
Pennsylvania Railway gets $4,000 year; the Gov
ernor Of the State gets $4,000 The presidency Of
the railway lasts for life, the governorshp for a
thorny uncertain four years There in the Penn
syvana Railway system more than 200 officials that
have more pay and more power than the Governor
of the State; and there in the State score of
corporations only little less imposing than the Penn
sylvana Railway. Is it any wonder that the best of
the young men take to the corporations and devote
their every energy to promotion therein leaving
politics the less capable, the less intelligent and
the less moral?
In addition to such inducements to unite with the
corporations the aber young of Pennsylvania
are further carried away from performance of their
duties citizens by social sentiment among men
of wealth and Of good birth that is distinctly averse
to political career. 1t is said Had Senator Lodge

MASONS OF CALIFORNIA.

John w. Linscott, senior, and Thomas j.
Baker, junior grand steward; William
Kettner, gran1 pursuivant; Samuel d.
Mayer, grand organist, and G.. P. Adams,
grand tyler.
The session was called to order by the
grand master and opened in due form.
After the report of the committee on Gre
denttals TIE grand master presented his
annual report which shows the fraternity
to be in a most satisfactory condition.
There is membership of about $4,000 dis
tributed in 271 lodges, showing an increase
during the year of more than 1900 men,
bers.
During the year new lodge was insti-
tuted at OXnard, in Ventura County, one
was instituted at Manila, P. l., and the
Hawaiian and Philippine Islands were
added to the California jurisdiction.
The public ceremonies during the year
were laying the corner-stones of the
courthouse at MADEIRA, High School al
Oakdale, High School at Berkeley, post
office at Stockton, High School at Ana
helm and Masonic halls at Bakersfield
Oxnard and Hanford.
At the afternoon session there were
presented the reports of the grand secre-
tary, grand treasurer, grand lecturer anC
the several committees, which were re-
ferred to the committee on distribution
Inc Grand Lodge decided to go IN body
to the Masonic Home at Decoto to-day
therefore there will not be any session
The lodge will meet again at $3.50 o'clock
tomorrow morning
The visitors to the home will leave this
city at IL o'clock this morning by special
train.
During the present session William S
Wells, deputy grand master, will be ad-
vanced to the office of grand master
George Johnson will be continued as granC
secretary and Edward Coleman as grand
treasurer. The only contest will be fol-
grand senior warden. There are several
candidates for this office, which is the one
that leads to that of grand master. Judge
Carroll Cook appears to be in the lead.
The twenty-thlrd annual meeting of the
Masonic Veterans will be held to-day.

and the late Governor Wolcott been born in Phia-
dephla they might have attained fame golf cham
pions Cot1llOn leaders, but never writer's col
lege professors politicians except at the sacrifice of
social position"
The writer finds the primal causefor the difference
between Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, in the diff
ference between the spirit OF the early Quakers and
the spirit of the Puritans "The Puritans a
church militant. The Puritan went to church with
Bible in one hand and in the other musket for
hostile Indians. The Quaker settled his difficulties
with the Indians by reading tracts to them. x
The Puritan insisted governing his common
wealth in his way. The Puritan formed the dom
mating habit, and to this day Puritan ideas dominate
the essentially non-Puritan population of Massachu-
sets. Among the Quakers, on the other hand meek
ness was a cardinal virtue The early Quakers, in
stead OF stranglng doctrines not in agreement with
their own, instead of casting out the apostles Of
strange creeds welcomed them and tolerated them
Put in minority by the unrestricted immigration of
less worthy people, and lacking the strenuous domi-
mating spirit of the Puritans the early Quakers
let the control of the colony pass into the hands of
the least desirable elements and there it has always
remained"
Such the theory which native OF the State puts
forth to account for the surrender of Pennsylvania
to control which has made her politics byword
for corruption. The moral seems to be that expressed
by President Roosevelt in the words "In the long
run class of professional non-combatants is as
hurtfu to the best interests of community class
of professional wrongdoers" The statement merits
the earnest consideration of those people in San
Francisco who deem themselves good citizens but
who neglect their civic duties

AUCTION SALES.
THE EXCLUSION ACT.

Under ordinary circumstances it would be
useless waste OF time and energy to assemble
~ State convention in any part of California
10 consider the Chinese exclusion act. Upon that
question the campaign Of education has been com
plete, and the opinion of the people upon it is we'll
nigh unanimous. 1t happens however, that the cir
cumsances surrounding the issue at this time are by
means ordinary. The advocates of immigration
have managed TO appeal successfully to powerful in
terests in the Eastern States and accordingly the op
position any comprehensive and adequate system
OF restriction has already become bold and outspoken
in that section of the Union.
Such being the case it is well to have convention
for the double purpose of rousing our own people to
renewal of the fight against the yellow peril and OF
impressing upon the Eastern mind the fact that upon
this question the people of the Pacific Coast are
united and will accept no compromise.
AS has been pointed in the call for the conven-
ton issued by the Mayor and the Supervisors. the
exclusion act, after having been in existence for
about ten years, will expire next May and accord
ingy the question of its reenactment will have to be
decided at the coming session of Congress- The Chi
have learned OF the richness of the United States
and eager to obtain opportunity to pour their
millions cf workers into the country. The Chinese
Minister at Washington has made appeals both to
the North and to the South for support He has
sought win over the Southern people by promising
them abundant cheap labor for their manufacturing
enterprises while in the North the merchants and the
manufacturers have been informed there would be a
much bigger and more profitable trade for them in
China if only the exclusion act were repealed and the
Chinese immigrants treated like friends
1t is safe to say that adrot as Minister
WI has not confined his work against the exclusion
to the speeches and the writings he has addressed
to the public He has doubtless had heart to heart
talks with persons Of influence whose interests are
likely to be advanced by permitting the act to pass
from the statute books He and they will have in
genous ways Of postponng the issue and preventing
action upon it. 1t is not improbable therefore, that
the fight for the of the law may be a
much harder one than has been expected. At any
rate, it will do no harm for California to speak out
the subject. To unrestricted Chinese i'm
migration would bring ruin Our fight on this issue
IS not one of politics merely, but for life itself
