MORE REVENUE NEEDED.

San Diego Union: The country looks
to Congress during its present session
to provide adequate revenues to con-
duct the Government. The matter is
undoubtedly one of perplexity and en-
barrassment, but the problem is not
more difficult than many that have been
successfully solved in the past. As it is
to-day, this great Nation, with its
boundless resources and vast wealth, is
steadily running behind. Each month
shows receipts less than revenue, and
the country, which should be a money
lender, is from time to time bor-
rover. One does not need to be finan-
cier TO see that this would be ruinous
state of affairs for a business firm, and
is certainly bad policy for Nation.
Now that the necessity for more reve-
nue. is conceded even by the Admins
tration, the way is made somewhat
easier. 1t is an encouraging sign, too,
that the connection between the de-
ficiency in revenue and the drain of
gold from the treasury is now more
generally understood than formerly.

POPULISM.

Chico Chronicle Record: The Popu-
list party seems to be going into an
early decline, says an Idaho paper 1t
is in very much the same position as the
fellow on the jury who persisted that
the other eleven men were the most
stubborn and unreasonable fools that
ever sat on a jury.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-12-13
A OBJECT ISSUE.

Fresno Republican: If yesterdays
news from Washington may be con-
sidered reliable, il is difficult to per-
ceive exactly how an embodiment be-
tween this nation and Great Britain
will be avoided. This is not saying that
war is unavoidable, but the way out of
the dilemma is not clear. Thus stands
the matter: Standing on the Monroe
doctrine, and wishing to avoid trouble,
the United States asked Great Britain
to arbitrate the Venezuelan boundary
ouestion. After nearly five months of
DELAY. Lord Salisbury has replied, re-
fusing to submit the question to arbi-
tration. The issue is direct. This Gov
eminent cannot recede from It's posi-
tion unless it is ready to discard the
tirne-honored and wise Monroe doc
trine. and England is committed to
position which is in direct conflict with
that doctrine.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-12-13

An eccentric old bachelor who died
lately at Odessa, Russia, bequeathed
I 100000 rubles about S2.00000O to
his four nieces on condition that they
first go into service as chambermaids,
washerwornen or coal women for fifteen
months. The local police are charged
with the duty Of seeing that the condi-
ton of the will is strictly complied
with. So far the heiresses have re-
ceived S63 offers of marriage.

A SPECIALITY AGE.

Oakland Times: The typical mod
ern man is intent upon acquiring some
thing. or achieving something, more
than personal development. He is eager
in the pursuit of political or social sta
ton. of wealth, or of learning. He re-
CARDS beauty and strength of mind
and body rather as means to an end
rather than as ends in themselves. This
can be brought out more clearly in the
statement that in our time the best eX-
emplars of culture in the old Greek
sense are our women and not our
learned men, though the changes which
are forcing the gentler sex into the
labor and conflicts of business and pro-
fessional life may before long deprive
this Illustration of its aptness.
The competition of life has grown so
keen and the subdivision OF knowledge
and labor have become so numerous,
that young students are less encour-
aged than in years past to attempt the
whole circle of sciences. SO forclply
did this impression take hold OF many
Of the East q few years ago, that it
was seriously discussed to shorten the
COLLEGIATE course. It was claimed by
those favoring the proposition that
graduates from high schools entered on
active duties Of life while collegiates
were still studying and when the latter
began the battle for livlihood they
were far behind the former. 1t is fact
which cannot be controverted that men
were never so impressed with the be-
lief that it is impossible to learn every
thing and be everything. one must
find his own special work soon and
stick to it-that is the practical motto
of the present age.

Expressions From the Newspapers o

Expressions From the Newspapers ol
Interior California.
Napa Register: California has lost
the National Convention, but 1T has
gained whole lot of advertising. NO
better men could have been sent East
to talk up the State-itS climate, its
wonderful resources, its hospitable peo-
ple-than those elected to fight for con-
vention honors. They represented coast
interests in an effective and forceful way
and their work will bear good fruit.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Tulare Register: Judges should not
be able to admit to citizenship on their
own Volition, and no one should be ad-
mitted who cannot read and write the
English language. Let foreigners nle
their intention to become citizens as
soon as they choose, but let them not
be endowed with the dignity of citizen
ship until they can read our Constltu-
ton, our history and sources OF polit-
ical information.
PURE WANTONNESS.
Los Angeles Herald: The wanton de-
struction of private property by the
burning of buildings and crops and the
wrecking of trains that is being carried
on by the Cuban insurgents presents a
phase of their instruction that is not
only repugnant to civilized people, but
is certain to prove unfortunate to the
rebels by depriving them of the SYM
pathy and even mourning the animos1ty
of many who are naturally inclined to
wish for the success of the rebellion.
While of course damage and destruc-
ton are more or less incident to inter-
necine strife, the utter disregard that
the Cubans have shown for private
rights and property is wholly inexcus-
able on the score of war measures or
necessities 1t is evident from the in
formation received from the Pearl OF
the Antilles at various times since the
opening of the war that the tendency so
manifest in the people of that region to
go to excess and to destroy indiscrim-
inately is running riot.
ENCOURAGING COMBINATIONS.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: The advocates
of road reform in this county were
much encouraged by the recent visit
of the two members of the Bureau OF
Highways, and by the praise those
gentlemen bestowed upon our roads.
After an inspection of the highways OF
about forty counties in the State, the
verdict of the commissioners was that
Santa Cruz stands pretty near the head
of the class in the matter of scientific
road building. The gentlemen, one OF
whom is a practical civil engineer,
called particular attention to the fact
that the road which they inspected in
this county, the one running from this
city to Jacksonville, was being prop
erly graded and drained, so that when
our citizens are ready to incur the fur
Their expense of matchmaking the
work already done will not have to be
done over again, but will form part OF
the completed improvement. Coming
from such a source this praise is en-
encourag ing to the officials who have
| charge of Santa Cruz highways, and
will give them confidence in the fur
Their prosecution of the methods they
are pursuing.

Morrow was running a swindling employ

them to believe that a conspiracy Of the
nature outlined actually exists. In spite
of the exposure, Morrow Is very cool, and
said the federal authorities have no terrors
