A SENSIBLE HOLIDAY.
The Los Angeles Express" says:

The Los Angeles Express" says:
The Saturday half-holiday is not yet
an actuality in Los Angeles, and it does
not look as if the matter would be
taken up in earnest this year. Never
theless, the Express" is not discour-
aged. 1t feels that the holiday is
bound to come, and is contented in
having been a pioneer in advocating
It,
1t makes no difference who is pio-
neer in the matter-the Record Tn
ion' has been pushing the subject to
view long time, but it is essential
that the press of the State shall be a
unit for the reform. 1t has been ac-
complished at the East, and can be
here
In California on Sunday last fifty
clubs or organizations of citizens, as
rule good citizens, too, men from
shop and store, from Office and profess
sion, played baseball to large audi
ences. Fully a hundred lesser organi-
cations in the State engaged in the
eAilNA iiN1t iAiiOFoH'
game on that day. In every case if
these men and youths refrained from
use of Sunday for their outdoor sports
they would not be able to enjoy them
at all, for in every instance our GUS
tom compels these people to work on
all the other days of the week, except
bank clerks, real estate clerks and a
few clerks in wholesale houses, which
establishments in the larger cities
close at l p. m. on Saturday. None
of them have found that their busi-
ness suffers in consequence.
Now if all business ceased except in
those which necessity requires, Satur-
day afternoon would become the holi-
day by preference, in seven cases out
Of ten, and tens of thousands Of peo-
pie who would like to witness the ath-
letic sports, would be able to see them
who are now precluded by conscient-
ious scruples, and the hold Sunday OBJ
urged that the Saturday half-holiday
would deprive the housewife Of her
shopping night. The answer to that is
that in the chief cities of Illinois if
we are correctly informed, Friday
night is shopping night AS for that
there is no reason why any other night
in the week would not answer lust as
we'll as Saturday evening for the night
shoppers.
1t is estimated that not less than
twenty thousand in San Francisco last
Sunday went out into the suburbs and
the country on private picnicking, fish
ing and recreating excursions. 1t is
conceded that not all of these would
have gone on Saturday afternoon if
the haif-holiday rule prevailed, but at
least the excuse for their use of Sun
day would not have been so strong.
However viewed We cannot discover a
single defect in the demand for the
adoption of a system that works SO
we'll in New York where business men
are quite as keenly alive to their best
interests as are those of the Pacific

lifetime would do How many men will
emulate the example of the murderer
of Minnie Williams and Blanche La
mont for the sake of notoriety2 Have
the journals, who, through their sensa-
ional reeitals and graphic portrayal OF
every sickening and revolving detail of
crime, are responsible for the. epidemic
of insanity and criminality, figured the
cost in money, in life, in manhood, in
public morality, in common decency
of such pernicious methods? We think
not, else even the most hardened Of
fender must quail before the terrible
consequences. We quote from Mr.. Car
rere's letter another item of expense
which must be considered:
But the bill of expenses will not
end When those who have read these
sensational stories, and have been in
jured by them mentally or morally,
are dead. There is their offspring to
be considered, born with criminal in
stincts amid criminal surroundings. No
one can tell how far-reaching in the
future this influence will go, nor What
the ultimate bill will be. Any physi-
clan will agree that it is most danger
Gus, and that it would be nothing as
tonishing if a child born of a mother
who for weeks before its birth was
busy reading the terrible details of
Durrants crimes should turn out a
criminal, even though the parents
themselves Were perfectly respectable.
In this one particular the evil accom-
plishd by the lengthy and graphic de-
tails of this one case have been enor-
nous, although it will be fifteen or
twenty years before the effects will
be visible-when the babies of to-day
shall have grown to manhood
This matter is in the hands of the
decent, moral element Of this communi-
ty and State. The church members di-
vide the responsibility with the owners
and managers of these infamous sheets.
1t cannot be passed to our neighbor.
Each one can refuse 10 allow such a
moral cess pool to enter his house. If
every Christian in San Francisco would
take that stand, sensational journalism
would soon be a thing of the past on
this coast What are you going to do
about it? What would Jesus do?

The San Francisco Bulletin has be-

osetically, that we suspend baseball

ing during the two Sundays the Endeav-
orers are in the State that we make
the saloon less conspicuous on Sunday
foI that time. and generally brush up
our morals and put on a seeming of ac-
cord with Eastern tastes and Endeav-
orer ethics, even if we do. as rule, con-
form to precisely opposite practices It
points out that such conformance will
be in harmony with true hospitality,
since the host should always strive to
surround his guest with the things he
likes, and since the art of entertaining
resides in the ability to do this without

A CHANGE OF BELIEF.

A year ago Governor Boies in Demo-
| cratic estimation was one of the ablest
men of the nation In truth, he is an
able and a courageous man. For a time
! it was believed that he, rather than any
! other would receive the nomination
of the National Democracy for the
Presidency. Governor Boies is to-day
| just as able. just as far seeing as when
he gave reluctant consent to help boom
Mr.. Bryan.
But year of reflection between plow-
ing and sowing times has led the stur-
dy Western politician to reconsider his
views, and to reach a conclusion that
he has the courage to declare before all
the world and his party, namely, that
the nation Iwill not, accept monometal-
lism and that the party cannot succeed
upon a reaffirmed Chicago platform.
Not only. says he, did the voters believe
that free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1
meant silver monometallism, but they
knew it,.
clusion many others had arrived at long
before the election of last November.
But the party of Governor Boies will
not accept his advice. Always prompt
to do the wrong thing, it is going with
usual pig headedness the way Mr.. Bry-
an points, and thus early in the new
campaign has declared its intention of
threshing over beaten straw.
A large body of Democrats in Ken
lucky, however, hold with Governor
Boies and have called a convention to
meet in Louisville on the 18th inst, at
which convocation the Chicago platform
Will not be reaffirmed The Courier
/ Journal says that these sound money
/ Democrats of Kentucky will do yet bet
ter than those of Michigan, who in
| creased their 1000 votes for Palmer to
! 10000 in the April State election "Of
this prophecy" says the "Oregonian, -
no one need doubt the fulfllment.
Every time an election is held on the
money question in the United States,
! the silver vote will be less and the
sound money vote more. Unlimited free
coinage of silver is an absurdity that
cannot survive investigation"
