Topics of Current Interest.
Los Angeles Times.
The San Francisco Examiner appears
to have overstepped the limits of legiti-
mate sensation in journalism in its Sum
day issue of two weeks ago, when it pub
lshed four-column article on the art of
burglary. profusely illustrated with draw
lngs. showing the easy manner in which
any of its readers, with little practice
and the use of simple implements, all of
which are described in detail, can break
into houses and abstract property there
from without running much danger of
being caught. One of the sketches shows
how easy it is to spring the catch OF q
window by inserting a knife blade be-
tween the sashes. For other operations
the burglar will need certain inexpensive
tools, which perhaps the Examiner will
shortly present to its subscribers in re-
turn for coupons and small amount to
pay the cost Of eXpressage.
A MATTER OF CLOTHING.
lSan Diego Union
Tourists coming here seem to find diff
Guilty in learning that it is necessary to
wear thick clothing next to the BODY as
we'll as outside clothing. Sunny and
warm as this climate is for the greater
part of the year, nevertheless its peculiar
characteristics demand that the body be
carefully clothed. Many delicate people
| here wear as heavy clothing in summer
as they do In winter. Newcomers how
ever, often think, upon arriving in South
ern California from the windy East, and
seeing green grass, green trees, birds and
flowers IN mldwinter, that the climate is
tropical and that the proper thing to do is
to wear light gauze underclothing and
summer-Weight clothes. AS a result Of
changing from heavy to lightweight
clothing many a tourist catches cold and
"a al oatn ISf h LON for
it.
BIG HAT.
Oakland Timesl
The man who sits behind big hat at
the theater has a perfect right to go out
between the acts il he wants to; IL is his
only chance to see man.
PLANTING TOO MUCH WHEAT.
Santa Cruz Sentinel.l
In the face of the continued low price of
wheat it is rather remarkable that the
farmers OF the country have just planted a
larger acreage than last years. AS if the
oyer-supply from %, 5lS.795 acres in 1894
were not sufficient lesson, they have now
planted y, 224, 35S acres in wheat-an in
crease of 1O5, $50 acres over last year. And
this they have done while that grain was
selling at 90 cents in Chicago, and when in
Oregon and the Puget Sound country the
elevators are full of wheat that was gong
begging at 20 cents a bushel.
ANARCHY.
Los Angeles Herald.7
1t is true that any human government
is a restraint upon liberty, and when
men enter into society they give up some
of their natural rights. This is necessary
because ''all men are not a law unto
! themselves" There is no community in
all the world, Of any considerable mag
nitude, where restraint of law and
| authority is not necessary to some of its
members. In every community there
are persons so advanced in goodness that
the principle OF theoretical anarchy could
be applied without harm from their ac-
ton, and such suffer more than the rascal
who refuses the golden rule, and upon
whom the vengeance of the law is exc
cuted. The advocacy of anarchy by
| those who claim to be good men does
! immeasurable harm, for upon those who
are not satisfied with mere theory, it op-
crates like lighted match upon keg of
! powder.
THE RAILROAD DEBT.
Los Angeles Express.
| What would be thought of a man who
had mortgage on another mans prop
! erty, who, because he was stronger than
/ his debtor, proposed to take forcible pos
session Of the property because the debt
| remained unpaid? Would not public
/ opinion, as well as the law, demand that
| the property should be sold and the sur
! plus, ii any, turned over to the person
| holding the equity? The answer to that
latter question would, of course, be a
unanimous yes, from everybody. If the
