Parliament on South African
Policy.

London, Feb. 20.--The pointed refer
-ence to Ireland contained in King Ed
ward s speech on the opening of parlia-
ment, coupled with the promise of the
grant of a constitutional government to
the Transvaal, brought these two ques-
tions Immediately to the forefront in
the debate IN the house Of lords and
the house of commons on the moving of
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne. The former was most per-
functory, except where Lord Lans-
downe assuming his new role as leader
of the opposition in the house Of lords,
pointed to the possible danger in the
change anG pointed out the Algeciras
conference anG the situation in Macedo-
MIA, warning the government of compi-
cations in the near east unless it main
tanned firm attitude.
Attack by Chamberlain.
1T was in the. house of commons that
the debate on the address became in

points, especially on it's, South African

THE HARD, COLD FACTS IN THE

1t is irritating to the intelligence of

appointed mouthpieces of California

cry intelligent person knows that it
Is not possible to mingle Mongol with
Caucasian blood. Nor does anybody
want it, If it were possible. Surely a
country now paying heavy price for
the sin of African slavery would be
ted Mongol population to become an
added unsolvable domestic racial
problem. The point is that, mean
time, we have treaty with Japan
which binds us to treat the subjects
of the mikado as we treat the sub
jects of favored nations"-that is
Frenchmen, British or Germans. They
have the same rights, practically, as
American citizens, except that they
can't vote. And the constitution of
the United States says that treaties
are part of the supreme law of Nae
land and must be enforced by the
president, ANY state constitution to
the contrary Notwithstanding. That
Is what the United States constitution

the supreme court may hold that

schools does not contravene the
treaty with Japan. However. 1t is
plain that the school matter in Frisco
originates. not in any actual school
problem, but in an antiJapanese agi-
tation which, in turn, originates in a
labor question. The color line in the
Frisco schools was drawn as part of
an anti-Japanese labor agitation. 1t
was done to force the issue. But the
country at large is not pleased over
the Idea OF being placed in the posi-
ton OF insulting a great foreign DOW

The logical thing is simply that.
whenever Japanese immigration
threatens to establish an unassailable
factor, 1t will be necessary to take
measures to stop it, even at the cost
OF rupture, or even at the cost of war
with Japan. But, meantime. the mart
OF wisdom in California is not to
arouse resentment by making a labor
agitation superior to United States

UNCLE SAWS BALANCE SHEET.

1t was very pleasing story that
Secretary Shaw has Just told to con-
gress. He has shown that though
both the governments outgo and In
come for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1906, increased, as compared with
the previous year. by far the greater
portion of the gain was in the in
come. Thus. while we had a deficit
OF $24,000,0O0 in 1905. we rolled up a
surplus of s25.s69,000 in 1906. The
principal Increase in income in 1906
was at the custom houses, the gain
there being S3S, 100000, while there
was an Increase of $15.00O.000 In inter
nal revenue. Items OF the mIscel-
Ianeous class ran up the total increase
for the year to s65.00O,O0o.
For the fiscal year 1907, which ends
on June 30 next, the story which Sec
retary Shaw outlines is even more
fiattering than that which he told for
1906. For the twelvemonth which
ends seven months hence there will
be a surplus OF $5S.000.000. The sec
retary bases his estimate on the fig
ures of the appropriations which have
been made and on the maintenance
OF existing revenue laws. In regard
to the revenue laws the forecast Is
certain to be verified. There will be
no changes made In the tariff or the
internal revenue acts during the pres
ent session. and If any were made
they would not be likely to go into
operation before June 30 next.

Fort Collins special to the Den.
yer Republican says: Beet growers in
this factory district are practically
through digging this years crop, but
there are thousands of tons yet to be
delivered to the factory. Owing to
the unprecedented storms in October
and November the farmers have had
a long hard pull gathering the crop
and the work has cost them thou
sands OF dollars more than usual, ow-
ing to bad roads for haulings and the
high prices paid for labor. The rail-
road has already delivered more than
5000 carloads OF beets to the local
factory. in addition to thousands OF
tons which have been hauled by
teams. and 1t is estimated that there
are at leat 1000 tons to come. The
third and last payment for beet grow
ers this season occurs next Saturday,
when 1t Is expected between 3lO0, 900
and 100000 will be paid to the
growers. The November payment
amounted to about 100000.

Mr.. De Graw. fourth assistant post
master general. recommends that the
pay of rural delivery carriers be in.
creased from 1920 to $500 a year, and
gives good reasons why 1t should be
done. There are now 1886 rural de.
livery carriers. At the present rate
OF increase there will be 39,166 before
the end of the current fiscal year.
During the recent fiscal year 4.44l
carriers resigned because they could
not live on their pay which accord
ing to Mr.. De Graw's calculations af-
ter deducting the expense Of main
tanning an outfit, nets them only $3.50
to $420 a year. 1t will he admitted
that Uncle Sam ought to be ashamed
of himself for offering such starvation
wages to men who have to endure the
fatigue and exposure to which rural
carriers are subjected. Even II they
were staying at home by cosy fire
side 1t would be impossible for man
to feed and educate a family on that
income. There are 25.965 city car.
riers, of whom 615 resigned last year,
which shows that they are better sat.
isfied with their pay than the rural
carriers, but they deserve an increase
also. So do the fourth-class postmas-
ters and the railway route agents and,
