our Test Of Demoeraey

Our esteemed contemporary, the Norfolk
Landmark, the schooImaster Of Journal
ism in these parts. undertook TO correct
our history the other day and by so
doing fell into an error which moves as
20 some remarks. We asserted, without
thought OF stirring up controversy, that
Andrew Jackson was a South CaTolinian
by birth. For this the Landmark chides
us-runs the blue pencil through our copy
and substitutes North Carolina for South
Carolina. Wherefore We suspect thar the
real author of Parton's story Of Jackson
was the editor OF the Landmark.
Seventy-fve years ago come next De-
cember Jackson indited in writing a COM
munlcatlon to certain upplsh ana atra-
bilious citizens Of South Carolina, which
communication he was pleased 10 caption
"A Proclamation by the President Of the
United States" 1t dealt with the sub
ject Of nuliihcation and secession. We
quote one paragraph from that communi-
cation:
"Fellow-eitizens OF my native state. ist me not
only admonish you. the First Magistrate OF ouT
common Country. not TO incur the penalty Of its
a4Hrf Illl use Aite lli4itEttN AAsk A~tAH4 natHl
over his children whom be saw rushing To ruin
Let US suppose that the editor Of the
Landmark had in the parlous days Of 1892
been a citizen of South Carolina and had
resented Jackson's claim to being native
Of that State We wonder what would
have happened? "Old Hickory" used "a
shorter and an ugler word" upon occa-
sion. He had his own Ananias clubs
and he enrolled upon their lists OF mem
bership ali evil-disposed persons who
questioned his word. For our part, we
would have felt sorry for the editor OF
the Landmark after Jackson had finished
with him. he regretted on his death
bed that he had nos hanged John c, Cal
houn VIXEN he had him In his power"
And Calhoun did not. as our schoolTnaster
at Norfolk has done, deny the right Of
Jackson to claim South Carolina as his
native State Calhoun had merely cOun-
seled and advised notification, with It's
bold threat of secession.
We submit the case here, with a few
admonit0ry remarks. We are enough of
a Democrat 10 accept Jackson's word on
the State OF his birth-aud some other
things. Having thus for the first time
declared our politics, we assert the right
to read out of the Democratic party every
man who doubts old Andy's veraclty.
Repentance and apology, of course. viii
be accepted, and then we shall consider
upon its merits every case like that Of
the Landmarks editor. which, II properly
presented. will entitle the offender 20 re-

The Problem Of ManehurIa

On April Is last, simultaneous announce
ment was made from St Petersburg,
Tokyo. and Pekin that the evacuation of
Manchuria by the Russian and japanese
troops had been completed in accordance
with the provisions of the treaty Of
Portsmouth, and that henceforward the
civil and military administration Of that
vast and opulent province would be
wholly I'm the hands of the Chinese gov
eminent. a decree reorganizing the adj
ministration mas been issued, and Yuan
Shih-Kai, of whom Mr. Weale, in his
Truce in the Far East" draws an at

roy. The new vfcer0y controls a force

soldiers, and is reputed 10 entertain the
ambition OF providing China with a capa-
bic standing army of 200 men within
the next decade. He is, in fact. one of
the Teformers who are doing so much to
awaken the Celestial empire from its
sleep Of centuries.
The new Manchurian viceroy, however.
enters on a task that viii put to the test
every quality of diplomacy and command
There are not wanting competent OBJ
| servers who maintain that the evacua-
ton of Manchuria, proclaimed with so
much fervor and apparent sincerity from
three capitals, is largely farcical. BY the
terms Of the treaty of Portsmouth, both
parties were permitted to maintain guards
along the line of the Manchurian Rail-
way, the japanese to the south and the
/ Russians TO the north of a specified point.
/ These guards themselves comprise a con-
J siderable force, in addition 70 which are
the many thousands of Russian and
| japanese civilians who have settled with

''can only be happily overcome by the
| creation Of a reasonably strong China. "
He believes that the rising spirit Of
nationalism in China is equal to the task

Denis Kearnex: nemagogne

Denis KeaFney, the sand-I0t orator. has
for many years done duty as a classic
example of the political demag He
has been held up 10 scorn as a dangerous
agltator fomenter Of social discord, and
a leader in uuwise and unreasonable at
lacks on corporate capital. He has long
been rated as one Of our most ''undesir-
able citizens" He has passed away and
the agitation of which he was the insu-
gator is only a bad memory, but it may
be profitable 10 recall some OF It's prin-
cipal features, with view TO comparing
them with like phases of latter-day radi-
calism.
Keaney's opportunity came in a period
Of political corruption and widespread
economic depression. Great fortunes had
been made By the few. but the many,were
unprosperous. Railroad and other cor
porauons dominated the State and local
governments. Complaint was general Of
unjust railroad rates and extortlonate ex-
actions by water and gas companies.
Chinese immigration was encouraged. and
the low wages acceptable to Oriental labor
were believed TO threaten the native wage
standard The contrasts between poor
and rich We're so glaring that they in
spired Henry George TO write his famous
book. Progress and Poverty" in which
he sought 10 show that the existing eco
nomic regime tended inevitably to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer. In
the midst of these conditions Kearney's
violent denunciations of the wealthy
evoked wiling response. He found ready
10 his hand an exceedingly popular issue
in Chinese immigration. Both parties had
denounced the Chinese invasion in their
platforms, but had done nothing TO pre-
vent 1t. Kearney, with the aid of cIeverer
men than he, soon organized a working
mans party with a strong auu-Chinese
platform. II stood. besides, for honesty in
public administration, made common
cause with the anti-monopoly movement
of the Changers, and procured the adop-
ton of new State constitution, which
was thought by Mr.. Bryce. writing twenty
years ago, 10 be a Surprising instrument. -
Soon thereafter Keaney's political career
came 70 an end. He had taken no part in
the constitutional convention. and. in fact.
never held Office. nor was he, in modern
parlance. a CRATER"
What was the nature of the provisions
of the California constitution, adopted as
a consequence Of the Kearney agitation.
which were regarded in the early SOS
as a dangerous attack on capital and as
Tuinous TO commerce and industry? A
summary OF them given by Mr. Bryce
shows that the constitution 'forbids the
watering Of stock declares that the State
has power to prevent corporations from
conducting their business so as to in
fringe the general Weli-being of the state
directs the charges Of telegraph COM
panies and of water supplying bodies 10
be regulated and limited by law; insti-
tutes a railroad commission with power
TO fix the transportation rates on all rail-
roads and examine the books and ac-
counts of all transportation companies.
These expressions have a familiar
sound; We recognize them at once as
current political coin. Similar provisions
