Honesty.

We have somehow learned to- make
a difference between those obligations
which We owe to one another as men,
and those which we owe to the govern
ment and to corporations. These ideas
are not a whit more prevalent AMONG
Ofhce-holders and directors than they
are among voters and stockholders.
Men are not materially changed by
being clothed with Office and power
The radically honest man Is just As
honest in his office as he Is out ofif
Corrupt isen are the offspring Of q
corrupt society. We all need straight
ening up. The lines Of our moralifx
all need to be drawn tighter. There
is not man who is willing to smagsls
and see custom officers bstrsy thsix
trust while he does il; willing to receive
the patronage Of the governments In the
execution of schemes not basedinabse-
lutte necessity; willing to take. an sz-
orbitant price for piece q psepe<ty
sold to the government or to tbs cor.
poration. who is fit to be trusted with
Office. When we have said this We
have given the explanation Of all ear
public and corporate corruption, and
shown why it is so difficult to get any
great trust managed honestly All
this official corruption Is based on
popular corruption-loose ideas OF
honesty as they are held by the popu-
lar mind; and we: can hope for no re-
form until we are better based ss a
people in the everlasting principles OF
equity and right-dOing. II We would
have the stream clear we must cleanse
the fountain.-Scribner.

Wha. q brute Of a husband that wa

What q brute of husband that was
out in Iowa. He refused to kiss his
wife for three months, and the tender
hearted darling committed suicide.
Now, if we'd been IN thas womanis
place we wouldn't have committed sur
eide. We'd have called in substi-
tute, and closed our eyes, and imagin-
ed all the time it was the dear one.
But some women aint gOs any sense.
The female wasn't anything at all like
a Brooklyn female We once knew. He
and she got mad, and he would not
kiss her for several days. She said TO
him he'd be sorry for it. She went to
party next evening, where they
played ''Pick cherries and hand them
down." and "Post> Ofbce," and "Pout
in the corner" and a whole lot of such
plays, and she was up every time she
had chance, and never refused a kiss.
And there was one young man in the
party whose kisses pleased her so much
that the following week she sloped
with him. That's the way she took to
make her husband sorry. We can't
say that he is bowed down with grief
We saw him the other day. and he was
about half drunk, and smoking five
cent cigar and telling a funny story
that nobody but himself laughed at.
Some men don't seem to have any
heart to break.

Viee-PresideutS

There have been sixteen Vice-Presi,
dents of the United States chosen by
the people. -Four of these have died
in ofice-George Clinton, of N. Y,
April 20, 1912, having served a little
more than seven years; Eldridge Ger.
ny, of Massachusetts,. November 90,
1914, having served a year and a halt;
VIM. r. King, of Alabama, April IS,
1858, about six weeks after the inau
guration, having been too i'll to take
his seat; and Henry Wilson. Only
one Vice>President, John c. Calhoun
ever resigned. Three. Tyler, Fillmore
and johnson, were called to fill vacan'
cies in the Presidential chair, occas-
stoned by the deaths of Presidents Har'

Reduction Of the Army.

Among the measures of economy and
reform to be supported by the Democ,

Appeal, is the bill prepared by Repre-
sentative Randall, which will be re-
ported in the House at an early day,
providing for the reduction of the army
to fifteen thousand, and reducing the
army budget from forty millions to
twenty-four millions of dollars. The
bill will abolish the Office of Lieuten.

and patrons. whatever may Be the en-
barrassments and exegencies into
which he is thrown. The young men
may thus possess capital of which
none Of the misfortunes and calsmities
of life can deprive them.
We have known men WHO have sud.
denly been reduced from afffuence to
penury over some overwhelming mis-
fortune, which they could neither for
see nor prevent. To-day they were
prosperous, tomorrow, every earthly
prospect was blighted, and everything
in their future prospect of life was
dark and dismal. Their business was
gone, their prosperity gone; but they
have a rich treasure that nothing can
take away. They have integrity of
character, and this gives them friends,
furnishes them with pecuniary aid,
with which to commence life once
more, under suspicious circums tances.
We cannot too strongly impress Up.
on our young men the Importance of
abstaining from everything which
shocks their moral sensibilities, wounds
their conscience, and has a tendency to
weaken that nice sense of honor and
integrity so indispensable to a good
character. Integrity of character P'

The Kentucky Penitentiary,

There are now nearly one thousand
convicts confined in the Kentucky pen,
itentiary-the largest nuDsber ever
confined therein at one time. The
place is incapable of keeping with any
degree of comfort more than seven hun
dred and fifty persons. and, therefore,
is now greatly overcrowded. In view
of this fact, the incoming Legislature
will be required to deal with the ques-
ton of charging the present penitenti-
airy, or build new one at some other
point in the State. The last Legisla
ture had this matter under brief con-
sideration. but no action was taken to
afford means of relief. We hardly see
how the question can be postponed thi.

A FEW years ago New Zealand was
place little heard of in America, yet
the Island now numbers large popu-
lgtion and is making rapid strides in
mineral, commercial and agricul-
tural channels. Through the kind
ness of Mr.. r. w. NUTTALL, of this
city, we have oeen permitted to exam
inc the report of the Superintendent
of the Province of Otago submitted to
the Provincial Council on the Sd of
May of this year, and from it we gather
the following interesting statistical
facts. Thererort was submitted to the
Council at its 2lst session-the attain
ment of its majority. The consoli-
dated revenue of the Province for the
year foots up g515,5S4. The area of
land taken up for the year as agricul-
tural leaseholds comprises II, 405 acres
and 81 900 acres were taken up under
other claims, while $4,000 acres were
sold for cash. For the year the births,
deaths and marriages were 1858, 1867
and 73l. Within the same time 1881
immigrants arrived in the Province.
The amount deposited in the various
savings banks is 9243, 766. The gross
traffic returns on railways was 957. S57,
being nearly double that of the pre-
vious year. During the past year
there was expended on school build.

1T is probable that those of our farm.
ers and vineyardists who hold claims
against the Los Angeles Distillery will
soon obtain the full amount due for
their grapes. The owners of the dis
tillery and of the brandy seized by the
revenue officers have offered to pay
the full amount of Government tax
and the expenses of the seizure on COLI
dtion that the Government release
the property. We lave heard from an
indirect source that Mr.. RALsToN of
the Bank of Callforr 70 has assured the
officers that Immediately on the re-
lease of the property he VIII draw his
check for the full amount of the claims
against 1t. In view of the fact that
there is strong doubt as to the illegal
ity of the company's act in storing the
spirits where it was discovered and
that it is probable that if the case is
pushed to extremes the property will
not sell for a sum sufficient to meet
the claims against it, the proposed
compromise is the best thing that can
be done. If there are any unsatisfied
debts after the sale it will be those in
favor of the grape growers-the ones
who can least afford to lose their
money. 1t is to be hoped the offer of
Mr.. RALsToN will be accepted.

THE scarcity of timber is beginning
to attract the attention of thoughtful
people. The reckless waste of the red
woods is telling on the forests of Santa
Cruz and Humboldt counties, and our
old lumbermen predict that if we go
on cutting and burning for another
score of years as we have in the past,
this valuable lumber will be scarce,
and consequently expensive. Some
attention should be given, not only to
the protection of the forests We now
have, but also to the growing of 9TH
ers. The work has already been fairly
commenced in this valley, and we
trust our citizens will give the matter
still more attention. Forest trees-the
eucalyptus, a valuable and rapid grow
ing timber-is easily grown in this
part of the State. Every farmer
should plant out few acres of forest
trees,

of the forty-seven Cinnamon arrested
on charge of extortion and robbery,
occupied the attention of the Police
Court nearly all day yesterday. The
fellow who came here to act as inter-

as he is u Chinese missionary, he
would lessen his influence among
them by revealing their books, and
this, together with the fact that no
means are hing spared by the compa-
ny to secure good counsel, rendered it
impossible to make out a case and the
whole forty-seven were discharged,
with the exception of three, who ex-
torted the money from the Chinaman,
and these We're held to answer and
their case continued till tomorrow.
