Bakersfield Items.

Gov. Stanford will report on his re-
turn to San Francisco that the people
in the vicinity of our town are al
ready harvesting their third crop of
alfalfa.
Every day now immense quantities
of alfalfa hay is passing through our
town. The crop this year will be suf-
ficient to meet all demands in the
home market, and no doubt much of
it will be exported.
The Jewett brothers have clipped
this Spring about fifty thousand pounds
of WOOL This is less than their clip at
last season, they having reduced their
flocks. Last year they had over one
hundred thousand pounds. To illus
trate the difference in sheep, a neigh
Dor OF Mr.. Jewetts clipped two thou
sand sheep and got eight thousand
pounds, while Jewett got eighteen
thousand pounds from the same num-

A shockingly sudden death occurred
on Thursday last in Withington's sa-
loon, in this place. Mr.. VIM. Collins,
a young man of about twenty-four
years, son of j. T.. Collins, of Inns
Valley, fell to the floor and expired in
a few seconds. He was engaged in
teaming, and had but just arrived in
town when he met his fate. 1t appears
he had been playfully scuffiing with a
friend a moment before, during which
his hat had fallen of. He stopped to
pick it up, and at the moment fell
never to rise again. Aphysician, who
had made diagnois of his case some
months ago, upon examination imme-
diately pronounced the cause of death
to be an aneurism of the descending
aorta, near the heart.

Congressman LUTTRELL is holding
his ground against the combined
powers of all the rascally rings that
have so long disgraced the Capitol and
robbed the people. JOHN p. JONES is
acting as u wholesome check on the
same combinations in the Senate.
While these two men retain their
seats in Congress the people of the
Pacific Coast may breathe easy ana
rest in comparative security that their
interests Will not he jeopardized, with
out sturdy remonstrance and hard
fighting on the part of their worthy
champions. LUTTRELL was elected as

schemes which all knew tended to the
enriching of the few and the impover-

his official career he would fall by the
| wayside-that he could not stand up
against the pressure which would be
brought to bear upon him by the pow
erful rings whose legerdemain he per-
fectly understood and was determined
to expose and render harmless. The
wish was father to the thought. Thus

A Farmers Party.

The dispatches announce that the
farmers of Illinois have resolved to Or
ganize political party, and to that
end have called State Convention.
Does this mean that the Changers are
to become distinct individual politi-
cal organization? The indications are
certainly in that direction. The farm
ers are Changers, and without Granger
support a farmers party would be but
o name-the shadow of nothing. Sup
pose the movement of the Illinois
farmers is designed as the initiatory
step toward converting the Grange
power into political party, and that
this step is followed by others until
the end and aim is reached, what will
be the probable result? The Grange
now holds the enviable position of dis
penser of place and power. 1t does not
nominate candidates, but it elects
them. There is no appeal from its
decisions, which are always based on
the integrity and capability of the
aspirant. No political party can sue
coed without Grange support, and
with this fact before them, together
with the knowledge that the Grange
supports only the best men, prospect
i've of political predictions, each party
strives to place the most competent
candidate in the field. AS an arbiter,
the Grange is all powerful; would it
be alike irresistible as petitioner? AS
a judge of the candidates brought be-
fore it, its judgment is clear and just;
as the manager of conventions, would
its clear-sightedness be alike conspic-
uous? These are conclusions and
questions worthy the consideration not
only of the farmer community, but of
all who desire to see the already man.
ifested purifying influence of the
Grange on political parties grow and
continue until the Augean stables are
cleansed.

State School Fund for Next Year.

There is the usual amount of irregu-
larity in the new sections OF our
school law added by the last session Of
the Legislature. The means for rails
ing the required amount of money is
not provided, and there is an irregu-
larity in the distribution of the fund.
The object of the compilers of the law,
which is too long for reproduction in
our columns, appears to have been to
compel the rich and more densely pop
ulated counties to furnish the funds
for the maintenance of schools in
poorer localities, where the full amount
could not be raised without resort to
special taxation. The irregularity Of
apportionment will be seen by glanc-
ing at the tabular statement below.
Mendocino county, with little more
than one-third the number of children,
receives more than one-half the
amount apportioned to Los Angeles
county, while Alameda county, with a
greater number of children, receives
little more than half the amount
awarded to Los Angeles county. Sac
ramento county, with aless number of
children, receives a larger apportion-
ment than Los Angeles county. The
disproportion, to a greater or less de-
gree, is noticeable in all the counties,
from Alameda to Yuba. The aggre-
gate apportionment amounts to ST.
PAL, 400, yet under the law only 81, l00,-
900 can be raised. In the tabular
statement the number of children
are given as far as last report

A Singular Grand Jury Report.

According to the report of the San
Francisco Grand Jury, NAPTHALY and
FITZGERALD did not libel or SANDER
the DE YOUNG family, male and fe-
male, when they published in their
paper, the San, an editorial charging
them with following disgraceful and
dishonest callings. According to the
report of the same Grand Jury, the DE
YOUNG brothers were not guilty of
serious offense when they broke open
and destroyed the Sun printing office;
and according to the report of this
same Grand Jury, Gus. DE YOUNG was
engage ed in an almost innocent pas
time while shooting at NAPTHALY on
the street. One of two conclusions
must be reached after reading the re-
port. Either the Jury regarded the
whole matter as a case of the kettle
bandying epithets with the pot; that
the Sun told but the truth about the
DE Young family; that the DE
YoUNGs were doing the country SER
vice in breaking up the Sun office; and
that they would have added to that
service had they killed NAPTHALY; or
else the Jury were derilect in their
duty, and either did not know enough
or did not desire to vindicate the law.
Hare are the nublishers of leading
newspaper and their family denounced
as the vilest of the vile, and the Grand
Jury holds the utterer Of these alleged
ISLANDERS guiltless of wrong doing.
Here is a party of men who wilfully
and maliciously destroy private prop
erty and attempt to shed human
blood, and the Grand Jury virtually
says that is all right. Are the DE
YoUNGs content with this official
statement that they were not SIAN
dread? Are the Sun proprietors willing
to admit that the destruction of their
office was a lawful act? Does NAP
THALY believe that the soft notes of
Gus. DE YoUNG's pistol meant him no
harm? If the report of the Grand Jury
is correct, there has been great deal
of fuss and feathers about character
where there was none; about property
that had no value, and about life not
worth the taking.

COLONEL Tom SCOTT enjoys the
greatest railroad reputation of any
man now living, and he is not disposed
to tarnish his fame through the failure
of anything he undertakes. The tele-
graph announces that he stakes his
reputation on building the Texas Pa
cific Railroad, and to those who know
the man this is sufficient guarantee
that the road will not only. be built,
but speedily built. There is no doubt
but that before closing its present ses-
sion Congress will extend Colonel
SCOTT the aid he asks, and this once
done, we may reasonably expect an
early commencement on both ends of
the road.

Light Mortality List-TriaI Of the

The Open Letter, which was to have
published biographical sketch of
Col. w. H. L. Barnes to-day, was re-
strained by threats of a libel suit.
There were only fifty-three deaths in
the city during the week, the smallest
number in three months.
The investigation of charges against
officers Rodgers and Lindhemer was
resumed to-day, and is not yet con-
cluded. The testimony relative to
their dealings with certain of the demi

The fire which occurred at about two
o'clock on Friday morning in Staley's block
on Centre street was quickly subdued, and
but little damage was done, comparatively.
Owing to the fact that we were obliged to
90 to press at the time the fire broke out,
having to issue our large weekly edition
that morning, only a brief note of the fire
was given. The building was damaged in
the rear portion considerably, at an esti-
mate of some 1900. 1t was insured for
$4,000; $4,000 in the Vermont Mutual and
$1,000 in the Windsor county. F, NJ. Smith
suffered some loss from removal of stock
and by water upon his furniture and store
fixtures. He was insured upon stock in
trade 81 500 in the Hartford, and $500 on
furniture and fixtures in the same company.
Gregg Naliquette has quite a serious loss on
stock which was not removed and was bad
ly damaged by water. The stock was in
sured for 81 900 in the Pennsylvania. $.
ID. Jenness, the coppersmith, whose shop
was in the basement suffers some loss by
water insured for 5000 in the Phoenix.
Mrs. Fillmore, who occupied the second
story, was insured for s400 with II. w.
Nye
The fire was without doubt the work Of
an incendary and was set on the stains
leading from the rear room Of the basement.
The flames ran up the corner stud Of the
building, catching under the caves, where
the flames burst out with increased VIC
lcncc and were somewhat difficult to get at
by the firemcn. Washington No. . were
the first on the ground and were soon
reinforced by Nickwackett No. /, and
Hook & Ladder Co. No I, each company
working nobly, although under considera-
bic disadvantage.

Anti InnatiOnists before the President

WAsnlNGroN, April II.
The anti-infation committee from New
York, headed by A. A. Low and $. b.
Chittenden, called upon the president tins
morning and. presented the petition of the
New York bankers, encouraging HIM to
veto the Senate finance bill. Cyrus w.
Field presented the petition. A. A. Low
then addressed the president for the com
mittee, and said the petition was signed by
two thousand five hundred of their fellow
citizens. They make an appeal to the
president as the last hope. $. b. Chitten-
den followed, saying the country was de-
moralzel, and we need an example of firm
ness in the executive. The president, in
reply said he had watched the progress of
the bill through Congress more than any
other measure since he became president.
He had at all times been entirely free in the
expression Of his views, and always oppos-
ed to expansion without redemption, and in
favor of free banking, accompanied with
such legislation as would carry out the
pledges of congress and the party in the
direction of the resumption of specie pay
ments. But he had to look at this matter
a little differently from the views of the
committee. They show very well what
they want, and may imagine, as he might
were he a citizen of New York, that the
whole country wants what they do. The
chairman of similar committee from Bos-
ton called on him yesterday, If he ever
could be in favor of imitation, it would be
from the effects of such arguments us that
gentleman advanced against it. But that
position was unlike the one of tins com
nittee from New York. The gentleman
from Boston, in behalf of those whom he
represented, started out with condemna-
ton of what he, the President, had al
ways believed to be right, speaking
as if he were wrong. They opposed
the purchase of United States bonds
with the surplus from the United States
treasury, and if he had acted as the Boston
committee wanted him to do, he would
have kept such surplus in the treasury I'M
Ill there was not greenback in circulation
These bonds were purchased at his own
