Zone of those girls is the daughter OF
Methodist minister and it is a shame that
there should be places in this city where
people who would not drink publicly are
enabled to do it privately This remark
was made by Councilman, Girard last
niCnt when making a tour Of the saloons
and aU-niEht restaurants with License
Inspector Maloon and other members or
the License Committee
The object of the tour was to obtain
information on the subject for the purpose
Of framing an intelligent and practical
ordinance regulating the liquor tranc.
The law under consideration provides that
there shall be no side entrances, no locks
on doors TO privatet rooms and also dis
eliminates against Easements: 1t is also
probable that il may provide that no
licenses be issued 10 corner groceries.

for selling liquor to minors the Councll-
men were about TO retire without having
discovered anything Objectionable, when

that its license will be renewed.
In another place in some OF the private
rooms young boys and girls of respecta-
bic parentage were found drinking beer.
and it was in this place that Mr.. Girard
made his discovery. Mr.. Stetson and Mr.:
Cuvellier, who were also of the party. will
probably recommend notifications Of the
ordinance, as there are a few places of
respectability upon which it would work
a hardship.
A large delegation of protestants from
East Oakland appeared before the License
Committee In regard to the Union Hotel
bar Attorney Garrity appeared for Mr..
Morgan, the applicant and many of the
church people spoke on the other side. The
committee, after hearing all the testi-
mony, decided unanimously to recommend
that the license be rejected.
Mayor Snow. who was criticized rather
mildly last night by Mrs. Stevens in a
temperance address, said to-day that he
could not have avoided being unable to
be present. at the ladies' meeting, as he
had previous engagement. He says that
if he gives the time necessary to direct
the city government there will be many
little functions which he cannot attend.

The anti-expansionists Ore advocating
an unwise and dangeryds policy in urging
the senate not to ryffy the peace treaty.
Whatever may be- their ideas in the mat
ter. and whatever ultimate disposition
may be made of our new possessions, 1T is
the manifest and plain duty OF the senate
to ratify the treaty as presented. Failure
SO to do might be fraught with very seri-
GUS consequences, embarrassing foreign
complications and possibly open hostili-
ties. All the advantages gained by the
war might be readily lost. The territory
acquired is now the property of the
United States. Spain has relinquished
her sovereignty and the islands have no
governments of their own. This country
cannot afford to abandon them to an
archy, nor leave them to the aggrandize-
ment of foreign powers, to be again
shaken by the horrors of wars for subJu-
CATION, from which they are now emerg-
ing.
The disposition of SPANS late posses
sions is matter for the future, not con-
trolled by the treaty of peace. We have
every confidence in the wisdom of future
American congresses as to their control
or disposition, and have no idea that an
American senate will be foolish enough
to refuse to ratify the peace treaty, to
aid the low partisan purpose of harass
ing the administration.

Consnl-General Patterson, at Cal

Consnl-General Patterson, at Cal
cutta, in a report TO the department OF
state. notes a curious fact about fax
growing, reports the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. He writes: I'm answer to
an inquiry from Chicago firm relative
TO the quantity of flax produced and
exported from India, | would say that
fax is grown in India exclusively for
the seed in no part of the country is
the fiber produced. Experiments have
been made for many years with the
same result. viz, that it is no proof
that a plant can be made to yield a
fiber because it can be grown in
country. Flax. hemp and china grass
are admirable samples of this fact.
The possible area Of fiber production
of any of these in India is extremely
narrow. Hemp yields fiber in Russia
and other countries and cannot be
made to produce the narcotic. In In
dia the very reverse Is the case. except
in a small portion OF the Himalayas'
where 1t yields admirable fiber and no
narcotic to speak Of. While large areas
NJ fax are cultivated in almost every
mart of India and Burmah, 1t Is grown
bnly for the seed, of which large guam
titles are exported, and not for fiber
and there Is no fax exported from In
dia."

The governors message is long enough
and, in its stand on equal taxation, is
strong enough to suit the most ardent
follower of the governor. The legislature
is bound to enact some needed legislation
along this line. The governor is much
more of a success in his chosen roll OF
the champion of equal taxation than as
chief boss in senatorial election. Here's
hoping the governor may be successful
in his laudable effort to make every piece
and parcel of property, both real and
personal, pay its fair and Just burden OF
taxation.

The farmers in this section, as near
as we can ascertain, have fair stand of
corn and small grain and grass never
looked better.
Being little interested in the wool
business we visited the Jones Wooden
Mills the other day and, as usual, found
everything in tirst-class running order.
Brother farmer, you make no mistake
in taking your wool there. Honest
joe as he is usually called, is there to
pay you all he can afford, and you get
honest weight. While there take look
at the honest goods that they are manu-

that this interview will do the repub-
leans much harm in Ohio, and is try

Sherman to get him to repudiate it out
right, or, if he cannot be made to 20
that far, to say that what he said was
exaggerated by the reporter.
Notwithstanding the official denials
everything points to the correctness of
the press reports from Manila, stating
that there is clash between the milf

absolutely correct they would not have

authority that this clash was of such q
serious nature that General Otis appeal

strongly as a military man may with

of the army that unless he was sustain

be relieved of duty in the Philippines.

And the weary are at rest.

But Wen meet him in that city,
In that home for all the blest.

That another very serious mistake
was made by this administration when
it instructed the American delegates to
the Cars disarmament conference,
now sitting at The Hague, to Join the
British delegates in working to secure
an agreement of the nations represent
ed for international arbitration, is be.
lieved by many close students of inter
national politics. Should such an
agreement be entered into, the u. S.
would be likely to get the worst of
every question submitted to arbitration
that effects European interests, for the
very simple reason that a majority of
the arbitrators would necessarily be
European, possessing the natural pre-
JUDGE that every man feels against the
inhabitants of another hemisphere.
Ex-Governor Evans, of S. c., who has
just returned from Cuba, where he was
serving on the staff of Gen. LUDLOW.
who is in command of the city of Ha-
vana, hasn't high opinion of the
CubaDs. He says the talk about the
patriotism of the Cuban soldiers is all
bosh; that there is no such thing in
existence; that, with few exceptions,
they were actuated by desire for
plumber and to hold office. He also
says that Coxeys army was a band of
aristocratic gentlemen by comparison
with the followers of Gomez, and that
it would be far greater crime against
civilization to allow these men to con.
troll the island than it would have been
to have left the Spaniards in control,
and that property owners over there
are unanimous for annexation.
Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Agriculture, who has just returned
from southern trip, is inclined to
grow enthusiastic over what he be-
lieves will be accomplished by the
Southern people in the near future. He
says, among other interesting things,
that they will in the course of time
grow all the tea consumed in this
country and manufacture practically
all the cotton they grow, and of the
people: "The universal sentiment in
the South, 80 far as l could observe,
was that they welcome every northern
man of education, enterprise or means"
John Sherman has stirred up the ad-
ministration once more. On his way
to Ohio he gave out an interview, at
Pittsburg, which caused sensation in
administration circles, when it was
telegraphed to Washington. The old
man jumped on the Philippine policy
of the administration with both feet,
SO to speak, declaring it to be wrong
from beginning to end, or at least, to
