NO DANGER IN NON-PARTISAN-SHIP.

A man or a measure may be almost aswell known by the enemies itmakes as bythe company itkeeps. Th**Non-Partisanmovement in this camoalgn is but a few-days old, yet already it has drawn the fireof the friends ofbossism, of monopoly andgenerally of those interests which stand interror of good government as a menace totheir own purposes. The cry lias thusearly gone out that non-partisanshipthreatens allmanner of political evils, andespecially the supremacy of this or that"regular" party. Properly there shouldbe no such thing as a regular party in mu-nicipal politics, except the union of allgood citizens against the forces of corrup-tion and maladministration.

People who have lived in San Francisco jthrough all the vicissitudes of its nistory Ido not need to be 111 that do harm has Iever come to the city from a Non-Parti«an ;movement. Under whatever name it has \u25a0

appeared—

People's party. Taxpayers'party or Non-Partisans— it was alwaysmade for the benefit of the substantial in- i

terests of the city. Itcould not be other-wise, because a Non-Partisan movement is |nothing else than a movement of good Icitizens to manage their own publicinter- Iests on business principles and to keep cor-

'ruptioni.ls aud plunderers cut of power. jThat is a work in which well-disposed |persons can tike a hand witbout fear ofhurting any person or cause that is entitledto consideration.

WENT OVER IN A BODY.The leading sugar-planters of Louisiana ;

have declared for proiettion for all Amer-'

ican industries. This in effect is a move- jment into the Republican camp. TheLouisiana sugar-planters havo evidently iseen that tbeir demand for protection for |themselves and for free trade for other in-

dustries was untenable. They saved sugar jIrom being put on the Ires list in the pres- jent tariff by such ta. ics, but of course itbey could not expect to win by suchmeans again. When there is no predom- jinating issue to hold men to one partythey willdrift from Itwhen they find that

'their interests are served thereby. Free jtrade or protection is a matter of policy.IThe people of a Sttte or a nation choosethe side which seems best to them. Eachnation, each State and each individualkeeps self-interest in view. When theLouisiana planters discovered that protec-tion was necessary for sugar their eyeswere opened to the necessity of protect!

for other industries, lf for sugar, whynot for iron, the production of which is aleading industry of the neighboring Stateof Alabama? And Iffcr iron, whynot forthe conversion of raw cotton ioto clotn,wbicb is a leading Industry of Georgia?The predominant race question has kejtbe new South tied to the party of freetrade, even while admitting that if the jpredominant question was removed, from ipolitics the natural piace of at least sev-eral of the Southern Slates would be inthe Republican column.

NOT IN THIS WAY.I.efeiriug to the report that the Schwein-

furth who claims to be Messiah is gainingrich recruits a contemporary says it is apity that no law has been enacted whichwill reach and cluck his frauds. Whilethere are many who willrespond to thissentiment there are others who willpreferthat the work of determining the truefrom tbe false shall be left to individuals.Inour day the law cannot shape a groove

in which public opinion shall run. To thepersons who band over their cash toScbwelufurth he is not a fraud. If tbelaw should declare him one it would notmake him one iv their estimation. Mean-time millionaires who are irritated to seea poor fraud win an occasional prize

should console themselves with the reflec-tion that millions are not accumulated intbis way.

OUTCOME OF THE WAR INKOREA.According to the latest reports Japan

lias gained about all that had been antici-pated wnen the strugele began with theChinese. What Japan has apparentlysought Is the* absolute Independence ofKoi.a. Tnat is only the betinninc of theend' Japan not only want" independencefor her nearest neighbor, but wants hiralsoto move on some of the lines of progressthat have done a -> much for Japan. Itisnot iaipossillrt that Korea may yet becomenot only absolutely independent of China,but may also have an era of advancementsimilar to that of her nearest neighbor.Duiiug the recent struggle Korea has madea treaty with Japan which involves abso-lute separation Irom China. Tnere hasalso been a modificaton of arbitrarygovernment, to this extent, that a councilor boaid of counselors has been appointed

to consider all matters of mateiial im-portance.

That is the entering wedge. Itrequiredmany years for Japan to get rid of feud-alism and to establish a constitutionalgovernment. What has been done in thatcountry is not an impossibility in Korea.

Accepting the Japanese view of theissue as approximately correct, the sympa-thies of the civilized world will he on theprevailing side. The other side has notformulated any issue that has been clearly

understood. China resented the interfer-ence of Japan in Korean affairs. That in-terference meant the introduction of thespirit of modern civilization. That wasthe alarming fact. The moment Koreashould leave her hermit shell there wouldbe do more sympathy for her on the part

of the Chinese than t!iey now have forJapan. The country would either assumeessentially a Chinese character, or itwouldmove far away from any close relationwith her ancient ally.

The fact is al-o set ina now light thatJapan baa long held that Korea under thesuzerainty of the Chinese was a danger-

ous neighbor. It was from Korea that thefounder of the present Mongol dynasty in1281 made a descent upon Japan and un-dertook to conquer that country. Nearlytwenty years ago in a treaty which Japan

made with K<rea this clause was insert -d:"Korea being iv independent state en-joys the same sovereigu rights us Japan."When the United States aod other West-ern powers at a later date made treatieswith Korea that country was treated ashaving autonomy. Ctiiua made no objec-tion.

Ata later day this claim on the part o(Japan, persistently asserted, brought onthe present war. The latter country Is ina fair way to make good t is defense. Anindependent state would bold close rela-tions with Japan. There could be nodescent of an enemy on the latter likethat once made by the founders of theMongol dynasty. That of course is theJapanese side of the question. Ii"iiturnsout to be the correct view the course ofthe latter, while nominally aggressive,has been a defensive one. Helping her-self she has also helped a friendly nationto secure absolute independence.

SCHOOL EXCURSIONS.In a late number of the Forum a Mr. J.

M. Rice gives an interesting account of aparty of pubic school children on an ex-cursion from Indiana to Washington andhistorical localities in the vicinity. Thepurpose of the trip was to teach geography

and history. School Bupeii*»tecd-nU,school principals and teachers went alongto direct the exploration \u25a0 if ti.e childreninto the right channel?. Mr. Rice con-siders the trip an immense success. Allhad a good time. Officials and people ofnote in the ciiies visited received tbe educa-tional iarty with profuse baspitali jr.Probably none of them bad been made somuch of before. Itwas a kind of lovefeast to which tbe few who were invitedhad front seats. Th*- cost of the trip t<-pupils was £:50 each. It does not appearthat the school superintendents, piiucipalsor teachers paid anything. Most of themwere, doubtless, under salary and were _<

adverse to putting in time In sightseeing.Mr.Rice seems to tbink that it would be agood plan to make jink-ting a part of ourpublicschool course of study. De is cer-tain that geography may be taught In thisway more effectively than by textbooksand map*. A visit to a field of battlewould impress upon the minds of childrenthe fact that there had leen such a baitmore vividly than by ordinary study. Inthese conclusions, doubtless, Mr. Rice isright. But there are difficulties in the wayof school excursions on a large plan whichhe does not consider. The parents of agood many children in our public schoolscan bardiy afford to spare the **30 that atrip is estimated to cost. The parents ofsome of tbem can, but it would be hardlyconsistent with the fundamental idea ofour public schools to discriminate betweenthe rich and the poor. Ifthe excursionswere of real benefir, ths rich would to thatextent have an advantage over the poor.Ifit were a pleasure tripitwould cieateheai t-burn ings for which thero shouldnever be given cause in our pubic schools,it is lime enough after school days areover, when the heart has been toughenedby experience, to subject young people t»tbe discipline the inequalities of condi-tion makes necessary. The dinger to ourpublicschool system lies in such visionaryprojects as this. Already more than nlne-tenths of the school moneys are expendedon less thau one-tenth of pupils enrolledin the public school lists. The excuse isthat the higher education is expensive.Any teacher can teach a primary class,and consequently aries may be low.But the higher and intermediate schools,itis said, must have bish-**«laiied teachers.

THE PANAMA CANAL.The New York Sun says in reference to

the revival of the Panama canal scheme:ItIs calculated that the net annual returns

from the canal, after iiIs Infull operation, willreach about. $10,000,000 a year. But all ofibis willnot be av.lliblfllo pay Interest on thebonds aud stock of tbe new company. Publicopinion in France will not permit the bond-boldetsand shareholders In the old corpora-tion to be entirely Iroi nout. liIs, accord-ingly,a fundamental condition ot the schemedevised or sanctioned by ibe official liquida-tor that one-half of the net profits of the water-way shall be reserved for the creditors of theformer company.

The absolute justice of this reportedpublic opinion in France willnot be ques-tioned. The original investors have aright to be considered. But if the amountsunk in the enterprise is to be addedto the cost of construction as itnow stands, the canal holds out hope ofbut small profit to future investors.Almost enough money has been Investedalready to have built the canal on thelock plan. To this must now be added the$100,000,000 or more needed to complete thecanal ou the most economical plan of oper-ations that can be devised. The liquida-tor is said to have formed a basis for thenew company by compelling some of theold contractors to disgorge a portion oftheir dishonestgalns. Eight milions wereobtained from M.Eiffel.Dr. Herz nnd theestate of the late Baron Reitiasch. To thisis added tbe sum of five millions obtainedfrom a new issue of capital stock. Itseems almost like irony to provide that theshareholders and bondholders of the oldcorporation shall bave the preferences

over the general public in subscribing fornew stock. The thirteen millions whichthe liquidator has got,or thinks he cab get,

willbe turned over to a board of directorscomposed of represent*. of the CreditLyonnais, the Credit Industrial and theSociete Gentrile. which will 99 requiredto float bonds to the amount of $100,000,000to finish the work with. Iftti6 three socie-ties named conclude to use their credit tothe extent of 5100,C00,000 the canal may beconstructed. Bat no assurance has ye!been given that the threa societies namedwillrisk so much money under ao obliga-

tion to divide revenues witb the oid com-pany.

TOBACCO TRADE.Few people realize the commercial im-

portance of the American tobacco trade.This no doubt arises from the fact that theculture of the article is confined to com-paratively Tew States. In 1869 there were

494,300 acres devoted to this business,

yielding 313,724.000 pounds, valued at theplace of production at $41, 00. Inthepas: decade there has been upward of700,000 acres devoted to this purpose, witha yield of over 500,000,000 pounds. Thevalue of the produi t has not risen in pro-portion to the increased yield, owing tothe competition from fcreUo sources.The highest agcrecate value of the domes-tic crop has beeu about $45,000,000. Ken-tucky leads all other States in the cultiva-tion of tobacco. This das been particu-larly the case of late years, In 1888 thatState contributed just one-half of the total,and yet the business was prosecuted inabout twenty States. Virginia bas beena good second light alone. Its largestyield was in 1885, wben the total was108,711,000 pounds. Other Southern Statesdevote considerable attention to the sameindustry, especially Maryland, Tennessee,North Carolina and Missouri. Among themore prominent Northern States are Obit),Pennsylvania aud Wisconsin.

There has -always leen a good expoittiade in American tobacco. It has beenclassed in some years as one of the four orfive leading staples of expoit In th? lastfiscal year the cross value ot this trade inthe foreign commerce of the country wasover $41,000,000. In that year there wasimported into the country a value of$13,155,900 in leaf and manufacturedlobacco, whic theie was expoited a valueof (27,934,700, showing a combined valueof 141,090,600 In this trade with foreign

countries. The exports of tobacco leaf,stems and trimmings from ihe UnitedSlates in the last fiscal year amounted to290.035,000 rounds, of the value of 52..055,---234. '1he United Kingdom iithe principalcustomer, that ctuntiy taking 83,273,200pounds. Other European countries arealso heavy buyers, Germany t00k61,832,800pounds in the same year, while Francetook 38.265.CC0 pounds. The result* ofthis trade for the last year were particu-larly gratifying in vi*wof the distress inother tranches of business. .Itis true theimports fell off over $4,200, 000 as comparedwith the previous year. Dut this was a

gam to the country rather than a loss. Onthe other hand, there was an increase of$1,000,000 in the exports. This is quite en-couraging to those engaged In the cultiva-tion of the weed, and they naturally feelelated over the returns.

A DEADLY PARALLEL.During the existence of onr reciprocity

treaty with Spain our exports to Cubamor. than doubled and almost entirelyshut out British and Spanish goods.Promptly on the passage of the Gorman-Brice tariff bill Spain restored her Cubanduties. The following table shows howthe duties now stand In comparison withtho tariff under reciprocity:

r—-Ver 100 Kilos ,Reciprocity. Present.Flour *100 -ft, 75

This is only a partial list. The compan-son might be extended to a long list ofmanufactured ar'icle?. Tbe kilogrammeis equal to about 2 1-5 pounds avoirdupui*.Irom that it is easy to estimate the handi-cap which the restoration of the Cubantariff puts upon our trade. It is one of tbeblessings of the Democratic administra-tion. At the same time we are payingabout 2 cents a pound mora tor sugar thanunder reciprocity.

LONDON WOOL SALES.A London dispatch says ibat the United

States is expected to be a large buyer ofwool in the London market. Itis quitelikely that this expectation will be real-ized. Wool from all Daits of the world\u25a0rill be thrown into the London market,and it is probable that American manufac-turers willbe able to buy more cheaply inLondon than at home. Of course all suchchanges are In the interest of England.As for the United States, Is it not enoughthat this country should be recog-nized as holding a dominant position asbuyer In the London market?
