The first duty will be to chastise the
Filipinos who have provoked the recent

Uncle SANS hand is heavy when laid
upon them, yet there must be no such
savagery as characterized the conduct
of Spain. Those who will lay down
their arms and submit to authority
must be given the fullest protection and
be guaranteed the largest liberty. Now
that the treaty has been ratified the
Administration will have free scope for

the slow motions of recalcitrant MI

endurance of much that will be vexa-
tious to degree and not little that

THE GREATEST THING IN THE
WORLD.
Fresno Republican,: The best thing
in the world Is doubtless the fullness
of life, toward which all progress tends,
and whatever concrete thing most con-
tributes to this fullness is therefore
the greatest among actualities. Is it
too much to claim this distinction for
the modern daily newspaper? The
newspaper has it's faults and it's enc
mics, to be sure. 1t is impudent, and
pokes its nose into everybody's busi-
ness. 1t does not represent as high a
plane of morality as the pulpit nor as
high plane Of literature as libraries
and colleges. But even III these as
poets it need not shrink from compari-
sons. The prying of a newspaper into
private affairs is exactly measured by
the degree of prying curiosity preva-
lent in its community, and the newspa-
per- as public gossipmonger, is incom-
parably more conservative and consid-
crate than it's privateering rivals in So
ciety. And there are fewer private
gossips because of the existence of the,
public gossip.
The morality of the newspaper is not
so ideal as that of the pulpit, but it is
more practical and reaches more peo-
pie Whatever may have been the in
tention of the Founder of Christianity,
the modern church reaches out for the
few who can be raised highest, rather
than for the many who can be raised
only little. The newspaper reaches
and raises this many. The literature
of the newspaper may not be of the
highest, but it is surprisingly good con-
sidering the conditions under which it
is turned out. Few professional liter

ary men could write at all in the con-
dftions under which the newspaper
man turns out his best ssstories'' And
the printed message Of the newspaper
reaches millions where the book
reaches hundreds.
INTEREST ON JUDGMENTS.
Mail of Woodland The Legislature
proposes to pass q bill to reduce the
rate of interest on judgments, from I
to 5 per cent. 1t strikes the fair mind
that the proposal begins at the wrong
end of the chain. If interest is to be
reduced the place to begin is at the
beginning of the debt when the bargain
is made, and thera declare all contracts
for greater rate than 6 or per cent.
usurious and void. Then let the law
provide that such rate continue until
the debt is paid. When parties have
agreed upon a rate per cent of inter-
est to stand until the debt Is paid it
looks meddlesome, at least, for the
Legislature to change this contract and
say that after Judgment the rate shall
be more or less than the rate in the
agreement. 1t would seem that they
had as well change the contract price
Of horse sold. Any such change of
contract by legislation looks much like
violating the constitutional provisions
guaranteeing the sacredness of con-
tracts. Let interest be reduced, but
begin at the beginning, and not at the
end Of the contract.
AIR GUNS AND BIRDS.
Redlands Facts: "Squelch the air
gum is the counsel of the Ventura

lily agrees with the view of its contem-
porary. The slaughter of our song

The cry against the Slaughter of our
song birds" Is a correct one, but we
don't imagine our. fruit growers will
have anything to say against the use
of air guns. if those weapons are turn
ed against the linnets, which just now
are destroying millions of fruit buds;
especially on the apricot trees. The
writer timed one of those linnets yes

racious mite had nipped eleven buds.

THE DEADLOCK.
Means Defeat for the Republican
Party.

F'rom the Marysviile Democrat. Ind.
Rep.)
The leaders of the Republican party
in California, particularly those man
aging the Senatorial contest in Sacra-
mento, seem to have forgotten that the
people are interested in the election of
a Senator as well as the members of
the Legislature. They also seem to
have forgotten that failure to elect a
Senator prior to adjournment will re-
suit in California having only one
representative in the upper house or
Congress, until the Legislature con-
venes again and elects a successor to
Senator White. This result undoubt-
edly would please Senator Perkins,
who would thus continue to control all
of the Federal patronage in this State,
giving him big lever to work in Sc
curing his reelection. This certainly
would cause additional dissensions
among those, who had right to expect
recognition for past services, and who
earnestly worked to secure a Senator of
their choice. Then there are many in
terests which deserve careful attention
in the Senate, if We wish to be progress
i've and influential. The members of the
Legislature know that the issue was
made in 1898 chiefly on the Senatorial
question. To sustain President McKin-
ley and elect a Republican Congress
was the oft-repeated declaration.
Many conservative Democrats voted
for the Republican nominees for the
Senate and Assembly on this issue,
their patriotism rising above party
fealty for the time being To continue
this farce and defeat the will of the
people certainly means defeat for the
party next year. In fact. the Repub-
lican party of California is to-day be-
ing murdered in the house of its
friends, dragged down into the mire
and polluted in the extreme. The rank
and file do not care who receives the
honor of representing the State in the
Senate, provided he is an honest mem
ber of the party. OF course men have
their likes and dislikes as in every
other election, but that must not stand
in the way of right and justice. The
men and party who do not respect these
rights will go to the wall sooner or
later. The American electors are be-
coming more and more Independent

1t repeated in brief the simple facts Of
a perfect political syllogismys applying
to the case yesterday. 1t to-day reaf-
firms its position. and as one of the
influences which did battle for the Re-
publican party in the late campaign
and has steadily upheld the Republic
can Administration at Washington in
all things wise and manly, it demands
that there be at once a breaking away
from the conditions now prevailing, i'm
mediate resort to party council with
an open vote and manly standing up
to honest conviction, and then loyal
|acquiescence in the result determined by
the majority.
that it will see to it that whoever is
responsible for possible defeat of
Senatorial election, the seating of a
Democrat hereafter as a result, the
torial chair at Washington, shall be
arraigned at the bar of party judg-
ment and be tried for the political
crime.
We have perfect confidence in the
wisdom, justice and integrity of
party that has seen the nation safely
through it's sorest trials for half a
century; has proved equal to every
emergency with which it has been con-
fronted; has written upon the pages of
national history it's most glorious rec
ords, and which has faced more foes and
stricken more of them into the dust
than any other political organization,
that it will deal with such men, who
ever they may be, whose action or nom
action makes the party guilty of the
possible outcome indicated as traitors
and vulgar self-seeking men should be
dealt with. We entertain the hope,
however, that no such men will after
this hour develop to the shame Of the
party.
But If, unhappily, there shall prove
to be such despite the waves of ap-
proval Of the Record Unions" sugges-
gestion now rolling in from Republicans
and Republican journals in all quar-
ters; if there shall develop men who
refuse to go into party caucus and
open and above board, vote there as
selected representatives intrusted with
party interests superior to personal
concerns, such men will stand charged
by the logic of facts and the justid-
cation of truth with having venal con-
nection with their candidates.
Such men, we repeat, will stand be-
fore the people under the grave and un-
avoidable suspicion that they are
bound to such candidates by pledges
and promises secured through pecu-
MARY considerations, since by their ac-
ton they interpret those pledges to
create a claim superior to the claims
of the party to which they owe their
political elevation.

ator being chosen two years hence-in
short, of loss of the legitimate fruits
of victory fairly won last November.
What then is the duty of Republicans
in such situation, they having a pro-
nounced majority in the Legislature
and capable of e1ecting a Senator at
any moment when the two houses are
in joint session for the purpose? Clear
ly it is this, to call the usual party
council, take an open vote and let the
decision result as it may, be Loyalty ad-
hered to. and the discredit of the pres
emit situation abated. which is corrod-
ing and boring into the heart of the
party every hour it continues.
A Capitol correspondent of a San
Francisco sensational journal declares
through it's columns that there are men
in the Legislature too cowardly to vote
their convictions in the SENATORIAL mat
ter, and who would sneak into caucus
to betray their constituents, making
the excuse that the fault lay with the
caucus. Their act, it is added, would
be covered by a secret ballot It makes
no difference in the argument that it
is used against one and for another Of
the Senatorial candidates-the accusa-
tion should not sit well upon the stom-
ach of any legislator, since it is so
general that any may consider it aimed
at him, unjust: though he may know
it to be. But the meat in the screed
is the confession that certain journal
istic influences with axes to grind and
revenges to accomplish fear the party
council; that they concede that the
caucus is the Traditional usual and or
derly method of procedure. 1t is sig
nificant also, in this, that it is con
fession of an attempt to hold the curled
lash over the heads of legislators. 1t
is equivalent to saying to every legis-
lator who goes into the party council
that if he does not vote as the journal
in question wishes him to do, the
scourge of the paper will be laid on.
We apprehend that manly men will
meet such threats fearlessly and vote
in caucus for this that or the other
candidate as their conscience and duty
dictate, regardless Of the menace of
the paper.

Senator Edmunds, in his published
expressions in opposition to retention
of the Philippines, dwells long and with
emphasis upon the assumption that
Our sons and daughters cannot live
beyond 90 in the tropics" The vener-
able ex-senator should overhaul his
reckoning. First, there is no indica-
ton that our sons and daughters wish
to reside in the tropical islands. Sec
ond, it is not an essential Of our con-
troll of the Philippines that any of them
should pass their entire lives in the
islands. Third, the climate Of India
is infinitely more trying than that of
the Philippines. The heat is greater,
the assaults of diseases of the climate
greater in number and more vicious;
there is no long season of comparative
mild temperature and refreshing nights,
no such free access of ocean breezes.
Yet the annual death rate among the
British in India since 1882 has not ex-
ceeded seventeen in the 1 1000. That is

Lord Roberts, the distinguished British

The vast majority of English officers in
India serve there from twenty-five to
forty years in good health, and are all

army privates serve, from five to- fifteen
years in India without notable decline,
and the majority, in fact, gain in vigor

though well-browned men. But then.

The Senatorial candidates should
realize that it is to their interest to
have the deadlock broken by the appli-
cation of the time honored methods of
the caucus, because if the present con-
dition continues, and there is no Sena-
tor chosen, not one of the. candidates
responsible for it will ever again re-
ceive any countenance from the people
or the party for any preferment or ia
vor whatever. They will have to bear
the burden of the discredit that fall

Republican legislators should bear in
mind that they gained their honors un-

Republicans is to stand by party or
