There has just been most interesting burg

jewelar and some of his neig hbors. 1t would
seem impossible that an intruding fly could
have escaped observation. Judging from the
six holes board in big safe containing SEQ, 900
worth Of diamonds and other valubltS, but
w hch proved TO be broken into, the visitors
must have spent several hours ia their task.
Fooled in their attempt on the big safe, they
wrenched away smaller one which was fas-
tened to the wall within six feet of the window
and removing ii 10 the rear of the store got
away with some S. 900 worth of watches

ebert of miracle. Big Frank, " a notorious
criminal, over whom a dozen pigeon holed
indictments have been hanging for years, was
arrested On suspicion. but the artists have
skilfully covered up their tracks and the pro-
liability OF their being brought, TO book is very

tered themselves at Custom house. No
Chinaman of any calling or kind shall be
permitted to come here without the con-
sent of the Chinese Government first
specially obtained in each case. Officers
OF the Chinese Government, students. mer-
chants and traders are exempted from the
general prohibition. Penalties are imposed
upon shipmasters infringing the Law. These
are the main features OF the law, which
appears to be effective enough provided that
the exceptions in the first clause do not
afford loopholes of evasion. 1t seems to
be the general teaching of experience that
if one begins to classify the Chinese who are
allowed to come, one is tolerably certain to
end by making room for almost every
kind. But it by no means follows that
Congress is now prepared to pass a
law o: this character. Last time California
applied for similar legislation Presiden.

thought necessary to throw tub to the

Commission and its results. At present,
however, there is no Presidential election
in the way, and therefore the Atlantic
coast legislators who believe in the "broth-
erhood of man business, may think the
occasion good one to oppose the new
bills and at the same time air their hu-
manitarianism. At all events it will not
do to let our expectations get ahead of the
event.

THE HORTICULTURAL CONVENTION.

The Convention of fruit growers which
viii meet to-day in this city has very i'm
portant matters to consider. While on
the one hand the demand for California
fruit has been increasing rapidly for sew
eral years, on the other hand there has
been steady deterioration in the produc-
ton, because of insect enemies. The in
sect pests have multiplied with alarming
speed, and it must not be denied that their
increase has been facilitated by careless
ness, selfshness, and obstinate neglect of
precautions. Ignorant and narrow minded
growers have refused TO adopt the suggest
ions of the better informed because of the
trouble involved, in many instances, and yet
Others have shown themselves so destitute
of community feeling as to be Indifferent
60 the possible destruction of the property
of their neighbors by means of their
neglect. The attempt to obviate these
drawbacks by legislation has been but par
italy successful (; experience proving that
the law does not confer upon the executive
officers sufficient power to deal with abuses
effectively. The general result has been
the very serious deterioration of the
orchards and vineyards, and it has be-
come apparent that unless organized
action is taken at once with view
TO fight the various insect plaques, one
of the most profitable and promising
industries on the coast will be in danger
OF speedy deeaience. These are among the
principal reasons for the holding of the
Convention which meets at Sacramento to-
day, and it is TO be hoped that measures
will beconcerted on this occasion which may
check the ravages of the fruit. growers
foes, and thus secure better production for
TIE future It has been made plain that
nothing but united action is Of any use in
this connection. One refractory vine or
frlit.grower may Illustrate the efforts OF
whole county OF section. There must be
harmony and patience under discipline, or
nothing can be accomplished, and every
vine and fruit grower must realize that his
interest and that of all his neighbors are
identical and inseparsble. 1t is Of little
use to discover remedies for inject pests
unless there is complete accord as to the
character OF the remedial measures, and
complete Willingness and determination to
apply them faithfully and fully in every
cease. We trust that our horticultural
friends will base their action upon these
principles, and that before proceeding to
discuss diseases and propose remedies they
will agree upon a programme for concerted
action in fighting the insect pests.

GERMAN EnIeRArroN.

The German Government is casting
about for means wherewith to put stop
TO the heavy tide of emigration to Amer.
lea. A Liberal member of the Reichstag
plainly tells the Government that Germans
60 to the United States because they find
there everything which their OWE Govern
mens denies them. They indeed have
abundant excuse fer emigration. They
get rid of militarism. which is rapidly
impoverishing every continental nation,
they find living wages, complete freedom
from that detestab!e police supervision
which is another of the causes of constant
irritation in Germany, and in general they
realize that they can expand and develop
naturally and healthfulIy in the new conn
try. Unless Bismarck is able to fetter
the people by compulsory legislation they
will continue TO come over to the United
States, and should he undertake to pre-
vent them forcibIy he is liable to discover
that contentment cannot be made obliga-
tory, and that Disseminated population
nav be much worse than q depleted one.
