AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR.

ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT No. II.
A resolution proposing to the people of the
State OF California an amendment to
Section II, Article I, of the Constitu-
ton of the State of California.
Section II. Foreigners of the white
race, or Of African descent, eligible to be-
the naturalization laws thereof, while
bona fde residents of this State, shall
have the same rights in respect to the ac-
QUESTION, possession, enjoyment, trans
mission and inheritance of al property
other than real estate as native-born cti-
zens; prOUided, that such aliens owning
re al estate at the time of the adoption of
this amendment may remain such owners:
and provided further that the Legislature
may, by statute. provide for the DISPOSE
ton OF real estate which shall hereafter
be acquired by such aliens by descent or
devise.
1t will be apparent to every thinking
man. that the enactment Of such law must
necessarily prove disastrous TO a State
like ours. We complain about the retsrd-
ing influences of the transportation
monOp0lles. yet the removal of these OBJ
stacles in the way of proper outlet for
our products, would be of comparatively
small import il we become dependent
upon our OWE resources for development.
1t is a well-known fact that our capital

as the Eastern centers have found invest
ments nearer home we are largely depend
ent on f0rslgn capital, and we consider it,
therefore. our duty to caution the voter
against the approval of this amendment,
as by 1t we would create grave suspicion
In the minds OF foreign bona fide invest
orS, residents or nou-reSidents; besides he
wording Of the above is so defective that
we would confer upon the Legislature an
unheard of power that can only lead 20
bad results We understand that the pas
sage of this amendment is desired by the
rural representatives on account of their
opposition to large foreign unimproved
land holdings. We are fully In accord
with our brethren in the country in this
particular and should certainly indorse
any amendment that would remedy an
evil recognized by every citizen OF Califor-
MIA, but the present one, as presented, has
a very different tendency, and it seems to
us that it contains wel-defiued Joker
that would suit our manipulating States
men for purposes of coercion and spols
CaliforDians are generous and broad
minded, and we know that every man liv-
ing on this slope is strong adherent TO
the glorious constitution of the United
States, and we feel sure that none of our
Deighbors will knowingly and Intention
ally endeavOr to nullify one of its most
beneficent provisions through the schem-
ing enactment now presented for your
con sderation. RespectfnIly submitted,

stipulations therein contained.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A citing Secretary

court-martial on Bert O. Pond. late pri-
vate of Company A. Fourth United States
Infantry. with the singing Endorsement
that "this action was in fragrant disregard
for principles of justice which control

ferred for trial, and who had as such inter
viewed witnesses and formed an opinion.

Our movement is essentially an Ameri-

to state that each one of us has the well

that is the professional politicians, who for
years have been nursed in our City Hall
and to whom alone we ascribe the much
retarded development of our beloved city.
At this time it is imperative that the
professional man, the merchant, the me-
chanic and the laborer should all unite
and assist each other in defending their
property against the INSCRIPTIONS at
tempts of a class that deserves the most
absolute condemnation on the part of all
good and reliable men.

LOOKS LIKE KIDNAPPING.
A Servant Girl Drives Off With the
Child of Her EmpIover.

What looks like case OF KIDNAPPING was re-
ported to the police last evening by Milton
Staples, Superintendent OF the Sailors Home.
-Four or five days ago Mrs. Staples engaged
young woman as servant through one OF the
employment agencies. She gave her residence
on Dolores street, between Twenty-second and
Twenty third, and was only known as Katie.
Yesterday afternoon, while Mr. and Mrs.
Staples were away from the house. Katie got
the stable-man TO hitch up the horse and buggy,
saying she had been asked 10 take the little
child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Staples out for a drive.
Katie drove of with the child, and nothing
had been heard OF her or the child or the horse
and buggy up 10 a late hour last night
The police at the different stations were no.
tilted TO be on the lookout for them. Inquiries
were made on both sides of Dolores street,
between Tweuty.second and Twenty-rhIrd but
no one knew OF any person answering Katie's
description.
What object the young woman could have In
driving off with the child Is mystery

New YORK, Nov. president f. r.
Robinson of the Cleveland Baseball Club
arrived in the city to-day. He said the
new baseball association was formed by
certain parties with grievances, real or
fancied, against the league for the pur-
pose of being bought off and with no earn
est or sincere Intention of making the as
ISOLATION anything more than talk.
3 ucken berger's retire ment from all con-
nection with the scheme when he received
an offer to manage league club proves
this beyond any doubt.

mas only TO read Russian history
to regard even the atrocities
of Siberia with more tolerance
than is the fashion-not excuse the ter
rible beastiality. but understand why it
is not possible to expect its instant ces-

regarded as a distinct advance upon
methods that impaled whole regiments,
smeared them with tar and set tire to

Russia has always been more friendly

THE CLOAkMAKERS.

The disturbances that have been fire.
quent of late among the New York
cloakmakers, have more excuse than
the ordinary strike.
The cloakmakers include coat makers
and the makers Of ladies' "tailor-made''
garments generally.
Their grievance is what is known as
the sweating" system. This Is the
farming out of garment making, to
people who do the work at their homes,
by contractors" who take it from the
manufacturers.
This system is utterly wrong in busi-
ness principle, as well as in equity and
morals. IL causes too many profits TO
intervene between the manufacturers
and the consumer, and it provides way
for the oppression of working people by
irresponsible middlemen.
Many years ago much of the labor of
boots and shoes was performed in this
way, but the practice has been aban-
doned. There seems to be no sound
economical reason for the continuance
of this sweating" system. 1t is based
upon the needs OF "A class OF people.
mostly foreigners, who are poor and
ignorant of other methods of earning a
livelihood.
1t would be difficult to find an inteli-
gent retailer Of these goods who would
not DECLARE that it would be far better
for the trade IL garments were made in
factories where intelligent supervision
could be at all times exercised and where
fair wages could be paid. There is a
growing disposition among dealers TO
insist upon having "journeyman-made"
goods. and some of the best wholesalers
find it to their advantage TO have all
their goods made by tailors throughout.
IL may be said that large share Of
the saving in cost secured by employing
the sweating system" goes TO the un-.
necessary, and generally INSCRIPTIONS,
middleman or contractor" The op-
srstives know this, the manufacturers

"MR. CLEvELANDS ATTITUDE

Some politicians and some newspapers
seem to be somewhat uncertain what to
conclude with reference to Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS attitude" toward Sen ator HILLS
candidacy for Governor of New York.
IL is difficult to discover any good
reason for entertaining doubt upon
this question. Mr.. CLEVELAND is a
man who clings with singular
teuacity to his antipathes. Disliking
Senator HILL as he does, and as he has
had abundant reason to, it seems use
less waste of speculative energy to en-
terrain doubts regarding his treatment
of his ancient arch enemy.
1t cannot be possible that Senator
HILL looks for aid from Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND it is even extremely probable that
nothing would precisely suit him better
than the rigid maintaining of the pres
ent Indifference of the President.
Senator HILL is playing for stake of
far greater value than the Governorship
of New York. and it is quite within the
bounds of possibility that he does not
regard success in New York this fall as
absolutely essential to the success of the
greater scheme. New York easily for
gets its momentary impulses to punish
its brilliant but self-seeking sons.
What Senator HILL may be able to
do two years hence, wiren the nomina-
tion for the presidency is atsstake, is a
problem that cannot be accurately
solved in advance and nobody is better
informed respecting this than the hon
orable and versatile gentleman from
Albany.
THE News ventures the opinion that
Senator HILL cares extremely little for
the portentous approval of Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND-will, in fact, be rather better
suited if the feshy Achilles continues to
sulk in his tent until after the votes are
counted, next 7th CT November.
And if this view is correct, what value
is there in "Mr. CLEvELAND's attitude"
as news or as politics?
