MONDAY EVENING OAKLAND TRIBUNE ATTfrTTST 17. lonQ nZ OAKLAND TRIBUNE IteratteSsitej -A NOTABLE FUNERAL." i The attendance at the funeral of William English was notable for what it It is needless to ay the gathering was a large one notwithstanding the desire of the family to have the obsequies conducted as quietly and unostentatiously as possible. "There was no pomp or pageantry or elaborate ceremonies to attract the Idle and curious. Those who' came, did so out of respect for the dead. Most of them wer personal tpnds; many had bee associated with Mr.

English in business or politics or public office. Their collective character was a tribute tof Mr. English's worth a a citizen and his high standing among the better elements of the State. -4 Among those who assembled to seei him laid 'away in his last sleep were i men from many widely separated sec- tions of California, men eminent In the banking, mercantile, professional and political world. There were men of prominence In the political world from Let Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Jose, SacramentoEl Dorado and S.n i Francisco.

They befenged to all parties. They came because they were friends of Mr. English in life and honored him in death. Neither wealth nor power drew these men in sorrow around the bier of Wil-liam D. English.

It was something that seems finer on an occasion like this than on any other the quality that holds men's friendship and respect to the last. Money and station v.

WHEN FINISHED WE PROMISE OUR PATRONS A STORE WHICH THEY WILL DEEM A PLEASURE TO TRADE ATIN THE MEANTIME, THINGS ARE SOMEWHAT IN CONFUSION. CARPENTERS AND LABORERS ARE MAKING LOTS OF NOISE, BUT OUR DISCOUNTS AND SPECIALS WILL OVERCOME THESE ANNOYANCES.

Tribune Publishing Company UNIONS WILL NOT. BE USED. As has been frequently demonstrated, there are employers unscrupulous and contemptible enough to endeavor -to use labor organisations to gratify their personal revenges or to further their personal interests, but the unions are generally too astute to permit themselves to be made tools of. As a rule, the man who tries to use them as a cat's-paw to. pull bis chestnuts out of the fire gets his own fingers burned.

The leaders of union labor have' too much discernrrient not to see clearly through the rascally motives of employers- who try to embroil them with other employers, and too much good sense to allow themselves to be used as a club by some skulking, cowardly trickster. It Is not necessary to stigmatize the employer who tries to bolster up a falling business by scheming to stir up trouble between a competitor and his employers, anVwho endeavs to cloak his malicious designs against those more successful than himself in business- by a pretense of championing the cause of labor. His moral and business status is proclaimed by his acts, which are those of a sneaking blackguard and 1 hypocrite. His friendship for labor is of the same sort that the pirates of the Spanish main felt for protestantism, which was nothing more than a pretext for plundering the ships md cities of a Catholic country. Labor union? sometimes make mistakes, but they cannot be induced to take part in anything quite so raw as allowing unscrupulous and unsuccessful men to manipulate them to further shady business schemes and to wreak private revenges on business rivals.

Members of the unions may be temporarily misled by false representations, but they cannot- be deceived long nor will their sense of Justice and fair play permit them to aid and abet piratical crusades -to gratify the greed and hate of an employer whose hopes have been blighted and whose temper( has been soured by failure. They know that his efforts to Induce them to play a dishonorable part are inspired by dishonorable motives and are urged with falsehood and chicane. The unions.long ago decided wisely, to refrain from taking part In business rivalries. Experience has demonstrated the soundness as well as" fairness of this policy, and adherence to it is now fundamental. Those who attempt to get them to break through this settled rule underrate the intelligence of mechanics and mistake the Character of their organizations.

It is to the credit of the mechanics that this is so.

If General John C. Black is elected Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic; he will He the first Democrat to hold that office. General Black is not only a Democrat, but a Southerner, having been born in Virginia, from which State his parents earjy emigrated to Indiana, finally Settling in Illinois. General Black has been an active participant in politics, having figured notably in several Presidential campaigns. He was once elected to was Commissioner of Pensions during" Cleveland's first Administration.

General Black's candidacy at this time recalls the experience of General Henry Blocum of New York, who came to the Grand Encampment, held in San Francisco in 1S86, as the leading candidate for Commander, but had the cup dashed from his lips at the last minute because; of political feeling. Sioeum like Black was an ardent Democrat, and that fact alone kept him from being riven the highest honor the Grand Army can bestow. At the Encampment In 1887 General John 'A. Logan and General Russell A. Alger were leading spirits.

Both were aetive in the Republican party ranks, and both were prominent aspirants for1 the Presidency. There was a strong feeling among the veterans against the Democratic administration on account of its pension policy, and this feeling was raainlv responsible for General Slocam's defeat. Many who were favorably drawn toward Slocum because of his attractive personal character and his gallant record as a soldier, were led to oppose his election at that time by the belief that his election would be construed, in a measure at least, as an endorsement of the pension policy of the Administration. As Black was Commissioner at that time, one may be pardoned for inquiring if the arhost of the past will rise up against him. It is to be hoped not, especially as General Miles shows a disposition to "butt into" the contest.

If Miles can see any chance to elevate himself he will covertlv endeavor to revive the ancient resentment over the pension question to break Black's chances, for he Is an adept in army intrigue. However, the time is not propitious for that kind of thing. Miles Is inimical to the Republican Administration, and his election as Commander of the Grand Army at this particular juncture would have every appearance of being a slap at President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and General Corbin. The election of Black, under existing circumstances, will be without political the election of Miles would be pregnant with political sug gestion. It would raise a question affecting General Alger, now Senator from Michigan, and would be construed by the Democratic press as a rebuke to the nation's Philippine policy.

We have no desire to disparage Jack London's "Call of the Wild," for it is a vividly realistic bit of fiction, strongly written and full of animal vigor, but the comments of some of the goody-goody papers on it are decidedly amusing. For instance, the New York Times considers the account of an actual dog fight too disgusting to print, but in a story it reprint's it as a fine bit of literature. It is somewhat difficult for the everyday persota to appreciate this fine moral distinction between fact and fiction. Mr. London has seen dogs fight that's clear, and he has watched the performance with observant interest or he could not describe a struggle to the death with such fidelity, If he had described an actual combat for the Times just as he did-in his story and offered it at Ordinary space rates, he would have been told that the Times did not print such brutal, degrading stuff.

A number of Montana papers are laboring with great energy to induce a judge to resign. One of them verjfc politely and feelingly tells the judge that "a sense of decency" ought to prompt him to resign. If the judge is guilty of the charges brought against him, his sense of decency is about the last thing to appeal to. If he be innocent, it is asking him to virtually confess himself guilty by resigning. If he is innocent there is no reason wiry he should resign.

If he is guilty he is not likely to resign. Hence it is apples to artichokes that he remains on the bench. We trust the good people of Oakland will be at home when the foragers for the Grand Army reception come around and that their pantries will be as well stocked as becomes a prosperous and hospitable community Let there be a prompt and generous response to the appeal of the committee for contributions of food, fruit -and delicacies.

This William D. English did, and the gathering at his funeral testified to the loyalty and catholicity of his friendships as well as his character as a man. It is an old adage that the course of true love never runs smooth, but the most novel obstruction of an amatory current is the arrest of one of the parties for theft at the Instance of the other. The outcome is equally novel, the arrest serving to reunite the sundered hearts and. cement them together In marriage.

a Whistler's Shrewdness. Whistler was a shrewd business man and realised the value of his pictures as; shown by the following Incident: The Glasgow corporation wanted- to purchase the Whistler portrait of Car-lyle and in due course waited upon the "master" to aee about the price, which had been fixed at 1000 guineas. They admitted it was a magnificent picture iiut remarked: "Don't you think, Mr. Whistler, the sum a wee, wee bit excessive?" "Didn't you know the price be fore you came to me?" asked the mas tei, with suspicious blandness. ayi we knew that," replied the corpo ration.

"Very well, them" said Whistler, in his sua vest tone, 'let's talk of something else," and as there was nothing else of interest to detain the "corporation" they paid the price.

To some men tobacco is so much fuel which stimulates their wits and seems to enable them to run their mental machinery at a better speed they can get without it. Others, by devoting a large part of their strength tp the consumption of tobacco," are able to get alohth. with very' little othe outlet for their energies. It is the busy man's stimulant and the lazy man's helper' Some great- modern workers of supremely' active minds -as Gladstone, Charles A. Dana and Roosevelt have not ben smokers.

Others have. Bismarck was a constant smoker. General Grant smoked all the time when his mind was most occupied. De Witte, the famous Russian Minister of Finance, has been described as smoking cigarettes incessantly' over his work. Most artists smoke; tobacco seems to'stimulate the imagination.

Most-writers smoke, though Mr. Ho wells doesn't, and Dr. Holmes finally abjured tobacco and denounced it as a thief ot time. Tennyson's clay pipes and Kipling's brwr tell of the tie between tobacco and poetry. Stevenson's cigarettes may have shortened his life, but it was a frail, lif at best DL1RA AMUSEMENTS.

The salmon pack on all the northern rivers will be short. On the Columbia, it is estimated that the shortage will reach 60,000 cases and on-razer river it Is estimated at 125,000 cases.

Yet the salmon run in the Sacrameato is unusually heavy. If there is any shortage in the pack, it will be due to causes other than a lack of fish. Coincident with a heavy run of salmon in the Sacramento there is an unusual abundance of salmon In Monterey bay this season. At one establishment at Monterey from 15,000 to 18,000 pounds of salmon have been salted down per day for some weeks. All these fish are caught with hook and line, and no.

fish Is packed, that weighs less than eighteen pounds. The catch in the bay is the largest ever known, and the quality of the fish is extra good. There is every reason to" believe the salmon, found in Monterey bay subsequently enter the Sacramento river to spawn, as they are frequently caught in the river. with hooks in their Now the salmon never bite a book in the river; they do not even feed after entering fresh water to spawn. Hence the fish caught in the" with hooks In their mouths must have broken away from the anglers in Monterey Another proof Is that when the salmon suddenly became scarce in the bay.

a few days ago, there was a visible access to the run in the river. But why should, the salmon run be heavy here and light in the northern rivers? It is an accepted theory that salmon return to spawn only in the streams In which they were natched or released when young. There ire hatcheries on the chief northern fivers as well as on the Sacramento, pet the run has been strong here and Ight in the Norths It is a phenomenon is worthy of study.
