ARE CHILDREN BORN LIARS?
/ Alameda Encinal: The San Francis
co ld-Study Club has decided that
all children are natural born liars, so
to speak. Perhaps they may have been
/ too hasty in judging others by them
/ selves. There was once a man who
regretted that he said in his haste
/ that all men are liars 1t would be
interesting to know just what expert
ence in the rearing of children these
Wiseacres have had. We have been
treated ere this to the spectacle of an
clent maiden ladies holding public con-
Ventions and discoursng learnedly
upon the question of the best method
OF rearing children and this may be
a similar case. Having had consider
+ able experience in this matter the
writer desires to most earnestly COM
bat the conclusion reached by these
/ city faddists. BY a large majority
children are not naturally liars. though
many are, and many more become so
! by treatment 1t is an insult to the
I little cherubs sent us for love and pro-
lection to class them as limbs of Sa-
tan, without exception AS stated
| these city Solomons may have been
reasoning from personal experience. but
because they were little liars it is not
lair to brand all children as having
been as mean as they
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
Contra Costa Gazette: The little star
chamber which the Democrats of Ken
lucky are trying to establish by their
election bills Will not help their party
much in that State in the long run
while 1T will hurt their party in other
States. 1t shows that the Democracy
| is :elapsing into barbarism. In Jne
part CT the country this Kentucky mon
strosity will create a presumption that
that party is liable to take a similar
backward and downward Iurch in other
places II it gets the opportunity. When
! a party comes under such a suspicion
IN this enlightened age, even the elo-
quence and activity of a Bryan cannot
save it from destruction
COOL-HEADED PRESIDENT.
Dunsmuir News: If the difficulty
between the United States and Spain
! be settled without bloodshed this happy
result should be credited to the states
manship Of President Mckinley. whose
cool-headed diplomacy has quoted the
people set on fire by the foolish utter
ances of the public press
MARKET SEEKING EXPOSITION.
Amador Republican,: The movement
to place before the world an attractive
exhibit of CALIFORNIA; marketable
products at the Paris Exposition of
1900 is receiving hearty support from
the far-sighted and public-spirited of
our cities all over the State. We also
heartily commend the enterprise
The primary object is to show the
commercial world what we have to sell
and demonstrate the excellence and
superiority of our products, and thus
secure an enlarged market for our sur
plus products. This is practical and
business like and cannot fail to result
in great advantage to the people of our
/ State.
The promoters of this project are
practical business men, and have prac-
teal ends in view. The object is not
to tickle our own vanity and excite
wonder and admiration in the minds
of foreigners, but to create desire which
/ will lead to a demand for our mer-
! charitable goods.
1t is no narrow and personal object,
| but the advancement of all the inter-
ests of producers in this State. 1t is
conceived in the right spirit, and it
begins at the beginning. Much money
has been spent, and much eloquence
employed in advertising our varied and
wonderful resources and advantages,
! namely the ineXhaustible mineral
treasures, the fertile soil, the perfec-
ton of climate, the unrivaled scenery
of this Incompatible and highly favor
ed State, and these advertisements
have been in a great measure both true
and effective; but we believe this move
ment is calculated to produce much
/ better results, because it has no ten
dency to stimulate over immigration
| or over production, but aims to pre-
vent either of these unfortunate con-
ditions A profitable market is a nee
essary concomitant of profitable pro-
| duction
AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Los Angeles Express: There is no pro-
vision of the Constitution whereby for
eign territories may be annexed to the
United States. There is a provision
of the Constitution for the admission
of new States into the Union. The
power to make treaties includes the
power to acquire foreign territory, by
that means, but all other means are
forbidden And, by the terms of the
Constitution, the only way treaty can
be given legality and effect is by the
iniative of the President and the con-
sent thereto of the Senate, provided
/ tWo-t thirds of the Senators present con-
cur New States may be admitted
not annexed-by a majority vote of the
houses of Congress, the President APP
proving In case he interposes his
veto, then the affirmative vote of two
thirds of the members present in either
house is required. These are familiar
provisions of the Constitution, and
but for the revolutionary action of the
/ friends of Hawaiian annexation in
proposing to accomplish their purpose
! by a joint resolution, there would be
