Mr.. AUGUST BELMONT, who is
generally Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, does
not like the direction of the finan-
ciaI legislation of Congress. He says
there is great danger of the credit
OF the United States being ruined
forever. 1t occurs to US that, con-
sldering the aristocratic, oppressive
and imperial accomplishments of
a large national debt, and which
have signally shown themselves in
the United States during the last
fifteen or sixteen years, it would
be a great blessing If the ability of
this country to get into debt should
be destroyed. Anaiion, even more
than an individual, suffers from
rushing into debt. The tendency
OF great national debts Is to convert
the masses into hewers of wood
and drawers Of water to the capt.
talist class. to concentrate money
Into a few hands and to create
large numbers of wealthy people
who will not engage in business
enterprises because they have an
easy and assured income, sup
posed to be without risk, from the
public funds. Perhaps it would
not be such bad policy, after all,

IT Is a curious line of testimony
which is being developed before the
Legislative Commission which was
sent down to San Francisco to
make inquiry as to the advisability
of repeating the precipitately
passed Incendiary Act. When
Judge Louderback is OH the stand
one story is heard; when Judge
Bob Ferral mounts into the wit
ness box very different is the mar
rative. We have never enter
tanned any doubt of the fact that
this act was mistake. 1t should
be repealed, and it should have
been repealed before Bones came
upon the scene. II it is repealed
now. Bones will claim all the
credit of the repeal and we rather
thiuk he will be able to substan-
tiate the claim simply because he
will place himself in the van of the
public sentiment demanding it,.
Machinery to suppress riots may
be needed, but free speech should
never be trammeled. Legislative
bodies which start out to frame laws
on such delicate matters should re-
member that the Constitution of
the United States, in express
terms, grants to every American
citizen the right of assembling and
petition, and the right to carry
arms publicly. The Legislature
has made @ mistake and it should
acknowledge it in manly way.
The shortest and frankest is the
best way out of such dilemma.

WE learn that the general opin-
ion in Sacrament Is that the Fares
and Freights, II ported by the
Beard of Transport. 4 Commits
slOners of this State certainly
pass the House, but -; there is
great danger Of their failure in the
Senate. The leaders of the Demo-
cratic majority of the Senate
should see to it that this popular
impression is falsified. Should the
Democratic party fail to do some
thing acceptable to the people on
this head, every Republican paper
in the United States will ring with
reproaches from now to the next
election. These journalists and the
stump orators of the party will ut.
terly ignore the fact that the Cen.
trail and Southern Pacific Railways
were called into being, and made a
power, by the Republican party.
But, waving all party questions,
the people have right to some
substantial and we'll considered
legislation which will give them a
guarantee against corporation OPP
preston. The railways will natu-
rally be likely to take all they can
get, and the representatives Of the
people, without doing injustice to
the corporations, or making their
leg islation SO extreme as to neces.
state the cessation of the cunning
of trains, should give us bond
from fate that the whole margin Of
profit in raising crops should not
be absorbed in the charges fol
transportation. We feel confident
that the Democratic Senate can be
relied upon to do its duty. We are
rapidly reaching a period, however
| in which action, to be effectual
must be instant.

Conkling said he had received a
large number of petitions from cit
liens of many counties of New
York in favor of the remonetiza-
ton of silver. He observed that
these petitions were all printed in
one and the same form and were
the product of an organized effort.
He denied that they represented
the opinions OF the people of the

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5th.-Lsad-
ing members of the House Naval
Committee say it may be consid-
cred certain that Mare Island mat
tiers will be made the subject of in
vestigation towards the close of
the present session. The intention
is to obtain authority from the
House to send a subcommittee to
Mare Island for this purpose.
The Democratic leaders of the
House Committee on Appropria-
lions express the opinion that the
session will be prolonged until
about the LIST of July by contro-
versies over the general appropria-
ton bills. They say they purpose
cutting down all government sala-
ries throughout the country, even
those of employees of the Senate
and intend to reduce all expendi-
lures to a minimum, and, therefore,
anticipate strenuous and long
continued contest with the Senate,
such as occurred in the spring and
summer of 1876. This prediction,
however, assumes that the House
will sustain their sweeping recon-
mendations, which, in view of the
nearly equal division Of party
strength, is very violent assump-
ton.
The majority for the income tax
resolution yesterday, though not
large enough to suspend the rules,
was so emphatic an expression oil
the will of the House on this SUBJ
ject that it practically insures the
re-imposition of the tax so far as
the House is concerned aud will
doubtless be accepted by the Ways
and Means Committee as on in
struction to report tax bill &C.
cordingly. Six of the thirteen
members of the Committee are al
ready known to be in favor of such
action. The Pacific Coast members
of the Committee were recorded on

Of income tax-Luttrell and Page;
against, Davis, Wren and viii.

Pineapple Culture.

Any one who has seen the Pine
apple plants at Orange City and
those grown by Mr.. Austin near this
place must be convinced of the sue
cess attending the culture in this
part of the State. A little calcula-
ton will show those who intend set
Ting here that there cannot be
more profitable pursuit than the
growing of this fruit. Oranges, ban
nanas, grapes aud early. vegetables
are completely thrown in the shade
in comparison to what can be derived
from this. One of our growers has
been offered by a northern fruit
dealer 81 per poand for all the pine
apples that he can supply. Now, as
one apple will weigh several pounds
and at least 10000 can be grown on
an acre, is there not profit in it p? Of
course some trouble will be necessary
to protect the plants from the cold,
but who can expect to realize, with
out going to trouble, from anything.
The plan of protecting is so simple
that any novice can soon accomplish
it. People in other parts of the State
who are succeeding in pineapple Gull
tue are not alive to their own inter-
est in not ventilating it more.

Where Will it StOp9

The record of crime recorded in
every paper we receive is truly ap-
palling. From New England to
Texas the crimes seem to be increas-
ing in number and atrocity. The
most painful feature is the apathy
with which the people, in general, ap-
pear to submit to them. Murder,
arson, sacrilege, rapes, Dissertation
ofthe dead, are of daily occurrence,
leaving out the minor crimes, and are
chronicled by the newspapers with
as much unconcern as the money
market report. We boast of our civ
ilization and of being the freest coun-
try on the globe, but in efete Eu-
rope, as some of our people call it,
one case OF murder attended by not
half of the atrocity of some Of ours,
will set whole country in blaze.
Look at 1T as we may, crime in the
great northern cities is daily increas-
ing and God only knows when it will
stop. Now what are the reasons for
this state ofthings ? We do not see
any given in our exchanges, perhaps
we may enlighten them. The dis
tress that has arisen for the last few
years by over-production, and uncer-
tainty of work, has driven out the
better class of mechanics and other
worthy citizens, to the west and
other parts of the United States.
These were people of good principles
and they form the backbone of the
nation. They were TOO high minded

lies suffering from want. They sac
rifced and scraped up everything
and in turning their attention towards
new homes and agricultural pursuits,
hoped to at least carve out new fu-
ture and happier one for themselves
and families. But what has has been
the result? Not a dissolute or worth
less character has moved foot. In
stead of it, more of the same class
have taken the places of those de-
serving ones who have left. Their
numbers are being continually added
to by the dissatisfied population of
other countries, RESTLESS characters,
who live by revolution and commo-
ton and are ready for any villainy
under the sun. They have nothing
to lose by revolution and everything
to gain by plumber and the disturb
ances that may happen. The cities
then that congratulate themselves on
sending out their surplus population,
have only sent away. the material that
stood between themselves and ruin,
they have lost the grain but the chat
remains. The inhabitants of ithose
cities are sleeping over powder mill.
Individual crimes it allowed to con-
tinue on the ascendency will only be
followed by united action on the
part of those who perpetrate them.
People of this class can never be
punished by being incarcerated for a
few months or years, they only leave
prison with the intention of continu-
ing their. evil course and with more
vindictive feeling against those who
punish them.
Our government needs a penal col
onv to which it could remove this
class of the population, and at such a
distance as to preclude the chance Of
their ever returning to the scene of
their old iniquities. By the. posses
sion of the Samoan Islands in the Pa
cific Ocean we would have just the
place suited for the purpose. We
call the attention of our legislatures
to this fact and advise some steps be-
ing taken or some day there will be
