ton Of the press during the present
session The anti-cartoon bill will have
a most wholesome effect in curbing the
lower instincts that sometimes degrade
an honorable profession. If this de-
voutly to be wished for contamination
should be attained. the Legislature of
1899 will not have assembled in vain.
But sharp distinction must be draw
between the laudable effort to check
coarse instincts and the attempt to
smite down liberty in her stronghold.
HOW JUSTIFY?
Fresno Republican,: 1t is an inter
esting problem to guess what the Dem
ocratic minority in the next Congress
can do to justify its party existence.
If it follows in the lead of Bailey and
the anti-expansionists it will lose so
much Of it's following. in and out OF
Congress, that it will cease to be a
party and become faction. If it takes
the contrary course there will be moth
ing to distinguish it from the Repub-
lican party. EVEN the open door" pol
icy cannot serve as an excuse for OPP
position, for the worst thing that has
been said against that policy is that

NORTHERN ORANGE GROWING.
Oroville Mercury: There is lesson
in booms in the history of the orange
industry in California Scattered
through the foothills of the northern
Sierras are thousands of thrifty orange
groves which yield their owners hand
some returns, and along side which
large tracts of equally good land, ready
for the planting, lies for sale at a mere
ly nominal figure. while in Southern
California. where owing to the lateness
of the crops, the profits of orange cult
ure are reduced, orange land is still
sold to the unsuspecting Fastener at
several hundred dollars per acre, and
all because of the boom methods there
employed in attracting the guileless in
weston.
In this matter, too, merit will win
in the end. Already the superior ad-
vantages of the Northern Citrus Belt
is beginning to be generally recognized,
and ere long the tide of immigration
will be- turned this way, induced by the
superior advantages of soil, climate and
water supply.

Day Schools for the Deaf.
Oakland Enquirer.)


! One of the measures before the Leg
| islature which might well cause Assem-
| blyhlen and Senators, as well as the
Governor, to pause and ponder before
enacting it into law, is the bill to es-
| tablish system of day schools for the
| instruction of the deaf. Nearly thirty
years ago the State of California pro-
vided facilities for the education of her
deaf children by establishing the we'll
known institution at Berkeley, which
has been one of the best managed OF
all the State institutions, and which IS
recognized throughout the world as
| one of the best schools for deaf mute
instruction to be found anywhere. The
| fact that deaf -nlutes from this school
have successfully passed through the
great universities, or have attained rep
NaJtion in the arts and sciences, is suffi-
Gent evidence of the quality of the In
struction. Now it is proposed to take
new departure and permit the estab-
| lishment of deaf mute schools in con-
nection with the common schools by
authorizing the formation of classes
wherever five persons, between the ages
of 8 and 21 years. can be found who are
deaf hard of hearing or mentally de-
| fective. Wherever such pupils are or
ganized into classes of five or more;
they are to draw $50 each of school
money.
Undoubtedly this means large in
crease of expense, for nobody proposes
to abolish the State institution at
Berkeley. The proposition is to have
duplicate system of deaf mute edu-
cation. After providing the necessary
running expenses of the Berkeley in
stitution the additional cost for each
pupil is not large, so that the keeping
of part of the pupils in day schools will
not reduce proportionately the cost of
the existing institution. But a more
important consideration than this of
cost is the quality of instruction likely
to be given in these scattered day
schools There are comparatively few
competent teachers for deaf mutes, and
the chances that each school will get a
we'll trained specialist are very small.
| Again, there are several systems of
speech taught to the deaf, some chill
dren taking more readily to one and
some to another. In large institu-
| ton, like that at Berkeley, all these
systems can be taught, but in scattered
! classes the work must necessarily be
done by a single teacher for each class,
and it is extremely improbable that each
child would have the opportunity to
| learn the method best adapted to his
case Therefore it does not seem prob
able that the passage of this bill would
! be really in the interest OF the deaf
m11te children

SPANISH CONFESSION OF WEAK.
NESS.

Admiral Cervera has been publishing
a series of letters in a Madrid paper
which may have something to do with
his arraignment for examination uron
the charge Of having unworthily lost
the Spanish fleet off Santiago. Spain
has already sent one Of her Generals
who surrendered to prison for life, and
another is now on trial, while Cervera
is threatened with an inquisition which
1t is well understood is prepared with
Its verdict in advance.
His letters rebuxing the Government
for the bad condition of his ships may
have much to do with the order for his
trial. In one Of these letters in the
Madrid "Epoca" he says:
In tonnage the Spanish fleet was less
than half that Of the United States;
III artillery it was still more inferior.
But this need not have rendered the
struggle hopeless IL the ships had been

AN ARRANGEMENT THAT DOES
NOT WORK WE'LL.

In 1889 the United States, Germany
and Great Britain guaranteed the au-
tonomy of the Samoan group, and I'M
der the treaty of Berlin set up a tri-
partite protectorate and partial gov
eminent in conjunction with the ma
tives. But that form has never been
satisfactory. 1t worked fairly well for
three years, when trouble began, ieal-
ousy was manifest by the representa-
tives of German interests, and the
scheme fell into disrepute among its
friends.
While the German Government mas
constantly disc1aimed any intention to
dominate over the other Powers in
Samoa or to take undue advantage of
them. it is nevertheless true that her
representatives have been the cause of
all the trouble in the islands since the
three cornered and unsuccessful ar
rangement was entered into The three
nations solemnly guaranteed the Samo
ans the right to- have a king seated up
on their throne, but as to who that
king should be has been the bono of
trouble from the beginning. The Ger
mans, while acceding to the triple judg
ment, have nevertheless both secretly
and openly plotted against the seated
ruler, while the two other nations have
striven to abide by the letter and spirit
of the contract. Called to account for
treachery by her representatives, Ger
many has entered disclaimers, recalled
her men and sent out others equally
as disturbing and troublesome.
The proposition now mooted to break
up the alliance, and for each of the
governments to select one of the
islands for a safe harbor and naval
base, leaving the Samoansi to their own
resources in the matter of local gov
eminent, but under foreign frown to
keep the peace, seems the swiftest and
easiest way out Of snarl that causes
more trouble than it is worth. The
sooner the signatory Powers cut loose
from the old agreement and act indie
pendently of each other on the basis
suggested, the better for the three and
for the Samoans themselves.

THE LATE CONGRESS.

The adjournment of Congress marked
the closing of one of the most remark
able sessions in our history. It is the
only Congress we have ever had which
declared an epoch making war, aided
its prosecution, saw its close and took
part in the ratification of the treaty of
peace. 1t is the only Congress which
ever voted to an Administration with
out detailed specification an enormous
sum of money to be used as the calm,
brave President in the White House
might see fit, to prepare the country for
war
AS to it's detail accomplishments at
this distance it is not readily ascertain
ed just what has been the legislative
work of the houses in all fullness. But
it is generally known that despite a
Strong fight against the Administration
within the lines of the RepubIican'party
dominating in Congress, on the whole
the President has been sustained. An
army bill, not all it should have been,
but. consenting to goodly increase in
the army, has been passed; the money
called for by the peace treaty has been
ordered from the treasury; some con-
siderable friction that was increasing
between our own and some European
Powers has been eliminated by wise
legislation
A river and harbor bill has been put

sites and is believed to have fewer
weak lines in it than any bill of a
similar character in several years. CAL

THE ANT1-cARTooN BILL.

Los Angeles Record: Is the anti
cartoon bill such a slap at the liberties
of the press as some of the yellow
journals would like the public to be-
lieve? Because the Legislature has
found it necessary to curb the brutality
of sensational newspapers, has stag
gering blow been dealt the free expan-
sion of opinion? We think not. The
whole matter resolves itself into the
distinction between liberty and license.
Flushed with unexpected victory, the
legislators may be tempted to go still
further and may try to pass more laws
for the guidance of the press. If they
should be led into such a course the
legislators will lose the sympathy of
the great majority of law abiding citi-
zens who have been won over to their
side by the brutality Of certain por-
