DON'T OvERsOOTHE BABY.
A Mistake Often Made by Young
Mothers.

When an infant cries, it is to express
dissatisfaction with something beyond
It's control. This may be collie, or a
pin, or an exaggerated covering, or a
Mt OF the blues, or, in some cases real
up-and-down hatefulness and savagery
The disposition too often with young
mothers is to stop the crying. rather
than to remove the cause of it. Instead
OF studying how to render the babe
more comfortable, they really make it
more uncomfortable by their herculean
efforts to soothe it. If they can only
hush the poor little thing and induce it
to suffer in silence they are satisfied.
Unless crying from pure spite it is
best to let a baby keep on complaining
till his trouble is over. 1t is a little
hard on the nerves of those who hear
him, but it relieves the tot wonderfully
and often does him permanent good.
He will sleep all the better after his
little song Of lamentations is over, es-

The court holds that the City Clerk, the
Controller the Treasurer and City Col
lector are exempt from the operations Of
the law, because the officers named give
bond and are individually responsible
for the acts of their deputies and subor-
dinates, therefore they cannot under the
Constitution be required to accept su-
bordinates not Of their own choosing.
1t is intimated that had the civil service
law repealed the clause of the general
incorporation Act fixing the personal re
sponsibility Of these officials, the case
would have been different. The remedy
lies, therefore, in an Act of the Legis-
lature. But it is considered very doubt
ful if that body viii be willing to waive
the personal responsibility clause, and
divide the risks among a large number
of employees, which means of course, to
increase the liability of loss.

THE UTAH EIGHT-HoUR LAW.

The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the Utah eight
hour law case is a far-reaching one; a
decision that fully accords with the
best thought of the day concerning
State Jurisdiction. 1t passes beyond
the question Immediately involved, and
goes largely to determination of the
police powers of sovereign States OF
the Federal Union.
The Legislature of Utah enacted that
eight hours should constitute a legal
days work in mines and in smelling and
assaying works. The companies oper-
ating such works contested this law,
holding that the Legislature exceeds
it powers in enacting such restrictive
law. The Supreme Court. however
holds that the Act was strictly within
the lines of State privilege and right
as an independent sovereignty; that
State has the power to fix the hours
of labor under certain conditions, just
as it has the power TO exact other po-
lice regulations, such, for instance, as
look to preservation of the peace, con-
servation of the public health, etc.
Thus the State may alone form judg-
ment and declare it, as to what it
deems necessary regulation to protect
the lives, well-being and the health of
its citizens. The enactment of all sani-
tary regulations proceeds upon this
ground. The State has the right to
safeguard the lives of it's people where
conditions are such as in good judg-
ment make it necessary to further the
public welfare, and to demand that
there shall be such protective or re-
strictive legislation.
The breadth of this decision is in its
declaration that the State is the judge
of the need for all such police regula-
tions, and that such a law is not in
conflict with the Constitution of the
United States. There might and prob
ably will arise cases in which the too
free exercise of this power would run
counter to the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution; in all such cases, of
course, the State legislation goes to the
wall
1t will be recalled by Record Union
readers that many State Courts have
held contrary to the present ruling of
the Federal Supreme Court Thus in
Colorado recently it was held by the
State courts that the eight-hour law
was unconstitutional, because it inter
fered with the freedom of contract. In
Illinois, also, the State courts held ad-
versely to the eight-hour law on the
ground that it interfered with the con-
stitutional provision guaranteeing that
no person shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property without due process
of law
The record-union., 1898-03-18
THE QUESTION SETTLED.

The Chicago Times Herald criti-
cises the decision Of the United States
Senate in the Corbett case adversely.
1t holds that every State is entitled to
two Senators at all times, and that
where the Legislature of a State fails
to elect there is vacancy in fact, such
as can be and is properly filled by
gubernatorial appointment, because the
law abhors a vacancy. The decision of
the Senate in the Corbett case is, that
failure to elect does not create such a
vacancy in the meaning of the Consti-
tuition, as authorizes the filing of the
place by appointment
The judgment thus pronounced by
the Senate was on a vote of so in the
affirmative to 10 in the negative. 1t
does not appear that party ran into the
decision, but that it was reached as
the calm Interpretation of the Consti-
tuition by the great majority of the
Senators present. We believe that the
Senate is right in it's construction. Our
Chicago contemporary very we'll says
that it was not intended TO deprive any
State of full representation. On the
contrary, the intention was that every
State shall have full and equal voice
in the Senate with every other State
That is very true, but such reading
must be taken to apply to the action of
the Federal Government. But where
State itself fails to send a Senator
it cannot complain that any wrong has
been done to it by any one else. The
Senate voted as it did because. first,
it is reasonable Interpretation, and
second, because it was desirable to
close this issue once for all, and affirm
the Senatorial rule for the future con-
corning the meaning of the word va
cancy. 1t is now settled, therefore, that
failure of the State to elect does not
create a vacancy. This casts upon
the Legislatures of all the States the
whole responsibility for non-represent-
alton, and. assuredly, that is where it
belongs.

A PEACE MEASURE.
Contra Costa Gazette: Millions for
defense but not one cent for tribute.
That is the view that both the House
and the Senate took on the Cuban
question this week when they voted
0,C00000 to increase our navy and
to further protect our coasts. There
was not dissenting vote cast against
the proposition in either house OF
Congress and it was one of the most
remarkable votes that has ever been
cast The voting of such large
amount of money to be placed at the
immediate use of the President shows
that although there are chickering's on
various questions by our representa-
tives, when it comes to the point thai
the country is in danger all party lines
are obliterated, no north nor no south
appears, and the patriotism of the leg
islators asserts itself in strong form.
THAT BENEFIT.
Calaveras Prospect: The benefit
given at the Mining Fair for the fami-
lies of the marines Who We're killed in
the Maine disaster resulted in the net
ting of two hundred and fifty whole dol
lars. For a city of the population Of
San Francisco the generous and most
magnificent sum speaks volumes for
the patriotism of its people Presum-
ing that San Francisco is behind no
other city in the way of sympathizers
with the families of those unfortunate
men, we wonder what proportion of &
dollar could be accredited to each
patriot?
OUR FRUIT IN THE EAST
Oakland Tribune: The raisin men OF
California have been trying a danger
Gus experiment and as might have been
expected, it has not worked well. There
was large percentage of inferior fruit
at last seasons packing and as there
was no local demand for it, it was de-
cided to ship it East and dispose of it
there at reduced prices. Warned by
the experiences of a few years ago,
when second and third rate fruit was
exported under the guise of first stan
dard, and resulted in our products be-
ing practically boycotted altogether for
awhile, they did not on this occasion
attempt that sort of thing but honestly
declared that the raisins We're of in
ferior grade.
The outcome Of the project has been
very unsatisfactory, though, for the
New York dealers declare that there is
no demand at all for this low grade
fruit and it is therefore awaiting in
structions at the other end of the con-
tinent. California cannot afford at this
stage of her career to have a bad ad-
Vertsement OF that kind associated
with her name. It is true that we can
point TO the markings which declare
the shipments to be below standard.
but 1t is impossible to follow the fruit
in this way after it has passed out OF
the brokers' hands, and the result is
that it is bought cheap and then palm
ed off by retailers as a choice Califor-
MIA product.
