A GREAT ANNIVERSARY.

1t was decided one HUNDRED years egC
today by Jeferscn's. purchase Of
Louisiana as the enormous French
possessions on the North American con-
tinent were called, that the United
States was to be a world-power. Be
fore that time its chances of becoming
rich and great We're limited, but with
the Louisiana" purchase. which gave
the country an imperial area and
wealth, its chances of greatness became
unlimited BY this one. act of expan-
sion, the Uritec States entered upon
course which ended in the possession
of two new seaboards, of the Missis-
sippi outlet, and of the territory which,
in It's mineral wealth, grazing facilities.
commercial harbors. forests. and room
for farms. supplied the young republic
with the sinews and strength OF en-
pire.
The country was bought of France,
bet the sale was forced by England
Napoleon would have kept his Ameri-
can possessioDs but for the fear that
England, which commanded the seas,
would take them away from him.
1t is interesting now when expansion
is again an issue. to study the protests
made against Jefferson's theories of
national growth and compare them
with the actual results of his land ex-
pertinent. Morse in his Universal
Geography said: "An settlers who go
beyond the Mississippi river will be
forever lost to the United States.
Pike whose name is associated with /
a famous peak wrote. in an official re-
: ort 10 the War Department.: From :,
these immense prairies may be derived
one great advantage to the United
States. namely the restriction of our
population to some certain limits and
thereby the continuation of the Union.
They will be constrained to limit them
selves to the borders of the Missouri
md Mississippi. while they leave the
,rairies, incapable of cultivation. to the
and uncivilized aborigines."
n the Senate, Mr.. Dickerson, opposing
he acquisition of the Pacific coast-a
latural sequel to the Louisiana pur-
hase-said: "a member of Congress

AS To BRIBERY.

Legislative bribery Is always hare
thing to prove because the man who
brides cannot expose the man he has
corrupted without discriminating him
self. Such transactions are confined to
two persorY and arr rarely witnessed
by third parties. on that account, OF
all the offenders who commit crimes
against the body polite. bribe-givers
and bribe-takers are least in evidence
on prison rolls.
But IL the technical demands of the
law cannot be met in way to insure
convictions, the public is at liberty in
making UP its own mind, to throw them
aside and consider the plain signs. The
character of pretty nearly every man
have watched him do business. and at
that, without a verdict about it in
court. So with the character OF Leg
islature. 1t can be Justly sized up
BY any one, OF fair intelligence. who
takes the trouble; and the verdict is
that Of members OF the accused body
organized as committee of investiga-
ton. For instance when certain
group OF legislators always rushes to
the support OF suspicious bill, bill
that Is known to be pushed by un-
scrupuIous men. whom its passage
would enrich. there is but one infer
ence To be had. Again where legisla-
tor with a bill pending to confer some
advantage upon himself or upon a busi-
ness or firm with which he is connect
ed. joins the element that favors
doubtful or corrupt bills. it is fair to
presume that he does so for the sake
of a questionable trade matter Of
mutual bribery. That the facts cannot
be established in court amounts to very
little. Out of some ten thousand muir
derers arraigned in the United States
last year. less than four hundred were
legally convicted and hanged. That the
of the law governing con-
victIons cannot be met is no proof Of
innocence. Nor does 1t debar the pub
lie from framing it's own conclusions.
Morally speaking, we believe that a
distinct group in the present Iegisla- {
.ure is badly tarred. These members ,
we're an unsavory lot when they were =
elected and they probably did not i'm
prove urder the temptations of Office

How does it strike our tardy pro
moters, this news from san. Francisco
of 24.OOJ coIonists entering California
during the past ten weeks? Twenty
four thousand are lot of people to get
in a little over two months time. but
there they are; and the fact shows how
much can be done, even for plsc> dis
tant from the centers of populs.t by
shrewd, expansive and welI-placet -
vertising,
The Californians have been making a
strong campaign Cor settlers during a
year or more past For one thing the
press has been unit in the work; there
have been no journalistic whiffets bark
ing at the heels of those whose labor of
love it is to I'LL up the country with
productive population. Foremost in
the fight is the Chronicle, which has
made each issue one of advantage to
California. Chambers of Commerce,
and Boards of Trade have labored as
one man and the railroads have been
induced to use their advertising powers
to the limit The result is the most
rapid and marvellous expansion the Pa
cifc Coast has seen since the original
boom period: and such an access of
wealth that every legitimate enterprise
in California is today boasting of its
prosperity.
And while all this and an influx of |
10000 tourists besides is going on just I
across the way, what is Hawaii doing? I
One hears the usual snore in the Cham
Der of Commerce. The tourist plans of
three and four months ago hang trem-
bling in the balance. Everything is
propitious for work-cable, big hotels,
giant steamers, all are in hand; plenty
Of room for small farmers and plenty
for them to do. The Paradise of the
Pacific is all here. But the workers
who used to get together and push
-hings through for Hawaii--things like
and annexation-where are
hey? Are they dead or asleep?
TIE westward movement is enormous,
lot only to California but to Oregon
Ind Washington. Some of it can be
here if our people will only
'estir themselves. But the strangers
rom the East are not coming unless
hey are given a chance to find out
What they are coming to. They must
rst learn of what the summer islands
ave to offer. That brings the matter
p to us; it means hard work and a |
arge outlay for the progressive men of
laval. But as the California example
hows it is labor that brings the most
cceptable results-new wealth. new in /
ustry, new inhabitants. =
