Work is plenty for good mechanics in
Santa Barbara at good wages. Several fine
buildings are being erected, and it ia ex-
tremely difficult to find skilled mechanics
to carry on the work. 1t is doubtful
whether some of the more important
structures can be covered before the fall
rains come. There is great demand also
for laborers upon the farms, in the
orchards, on the railroad, and in every de-
partment of mechanical and agricultural

a UNIQUE EXHIBITION There has re-
Gently been opened at the Royal Gardens
at Kew, in new building erected for the
purpose, an exhibition which is not only
unique, but frsught with unusual interest
to the traveller, the artist and the scientist.
1t is collection Of paintings OF plants and
flowers, the work Of Miss Marianne North,
who has spent years in exploring almost
every accessible region OF the globe, exam
lining the flora Of every land, and on the
spot sketching and painting every rare,
curious or striking specimen that came to
her notice. She has reproduced with the
skill of an accomplished artist the vegeta-
ton OF Brazil and Borneo, Teneriffe and
California, Ceylon, Jamaica and the Hina.
layas. Here and there through the collec-
lions are scattered landscapes of various
climes, lending additional interest to the
whole. There also appear few delinea-
tons OF iosects and reptiles with which the
intrepid explorer came into contact during
her yenturesome journeys. On the whole,
tie collection is most valuable and inter-
esting one, whether the courage and enter
prise, the artistic skill and taste, or the
scientific accuracy of the author be re-
garded. 1t need only be added that the
entire collection, to be known as the
Marianne North Gallery. has been given
freely to the public by Miss North, and
that an excellent and comprehensive de-
scriptive catalogue has been prepared by
Mr.. w. B. Helmsley.

robson AND wH1rrHoRsE.

The attack made by Robson upon Whit
thorne was disgraceful to the assailant only.
1t was species of clustering, brutal abb
surdity, as little entitled to serious consid.
Grafton as the outburst of the petulant boy
who thinks to vindicate himself from a
charge by calling out "you're another %
1t is OF no consequence whether Congress
man Whitthorne is or is not moral man.
The only question of consequence is
whether in his capacity as Chairman of the
Investigating Committee he elected the
truth concerning Robeson's administration
of the navy. And as Robson himself has
never been able either to meet or refute the
charges preferred against him by Whit
thorne, the only rational conclusion is that
these charges are true. Mere impudence
has stood many a man in good stead, but
it will not help Robson, because the facts
as to his naval administration are at the
the command OF all men, and because these
facts prove him to have squandreed the
nations money in the most outrageous
fashion. He has been silly enough to assert
that every ship in the American navy now
aioat has passed through his hands OF been
built by him. He is silly enough to make
this boast in the teeth of the fact that
there is not one really serviceable vessel in
the navy to day. and that it is by-word
and reproach all over the world. The most
singular fact, however, is that ne has
already been most thoroughly exposed
in Congress. A month ago Mr.. Hewitt
went in detail through the navy, taking
every vessel separately, and proved by the
official statistics that the Robson admins
tration had been one continued waste.
He showed, for example, that six vessels
built by Robson cost four times what
similar merchant vessels were built for at
the same time, and that despite this
enormous excess of outlay it was necessary
original cost in repairs to them during the
first six years of their service. Mr.. Hewitt
showed that while all Robeson's ships cost
three or four times more than similar ves-
sells could be built for anywhere else than
in the Navy Yards, they were all inferior
in every respect to the cheaper vessels.
They were incapable of speed, they con-
sumed far too much coal, their engines were
and bad, and the work put on
them was inferior. Aud when the ques.
ton of repairs is discussed, his waste in
building sinks into comparative insignif-
canoe. There are vessels upon which he
has spent three times the amount of their
original cost, and after all they have still
needed repairs. The catalogue of his
'dches. however, is too long to be recapitu.
ated. We have only referred to it to show
that he has nothing to gain by blackguard-
ng those who have done their duty in ex.
posing his bad naval administration.
What the Republican. party has to gain
by putting him again at the head of naval
affairs, and following his advice in making
naval appropriations, it will doubtless in
lue time ascertain.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

The Republican Congressional Committee
has called down upon itself the condemna-
ton of the country by it's recent shameless
and impudent defiance of the law in regard
to the levying of political assessments.
One journal, however, very pertinently in.
quires where the Congressional Committee
obtains its authority for what it has done.
The truth is that it has 10 authority. The
Republican party has never authorized it
to exist even. 1t is not representative
body. It is self.constituted, and possesses
no delegated power. Yet this unauthor-
lied body has had the ineffable impudence
to send circulars out, not only to clerks,
but actually to day-laborers in public EN-.
ploy, demanding payment OF considerable
amounts, and even undertaking to fix the
sums which their intended victims should
pay. The New York Herald recently
printed fac-simile of one of these circu-
lars which was sent to laborer having a
wife and children to support, on wage of
two dollars day. The circular required
this poor fellow to pay fifteen dollars and
another case is cited by the Herald in
which an Office boy of thirteen was asked
tor three dollars and half Now this is
as mean and dirty and rascally business
as pocket picking, and the Congressman
who have signed their names to these cir
culars are certainly not high-minded men
if they do not feel ashamed OF their con-
nection with the whole business. When,
too, it is considered that the business is
utterly devoid of responsibility. the out.
rage appears worse. For what purpose
are these forced contributions made !?
Ostensibly for " campaign purposes"
But in fact there is not the
slightest guarantee for any such employ
ment of the money collected, while it has
been notorious that a very large percentage
of almost every campaign fund is inter.
cepted by the camp-followers and political
thieves who hang about the party head.
quarters. Thus it appears that this in.
solent attempt to bleed the public en-
ployes is at bottom little else than open |
robbery, since the presumption is that
three-fourths of the money would be
absorbed by set of scoundrelly adveutur-
ers who have no more right to it than SO
many highwaymen. Yet there are Con.
gressmen sufficiently obtuse or dishonest |
to rise in their places and defend the sys-
tenn of political assessments, and who are
so stupid as to think it a sufficient dis |
guise of their matchmaking schemes to
pretend that they only ask for voluntary
" contributions" and to assert that no.
body is ever discharged for refusing to pay
these assessments. Mr.. Hubbell and his
colleagues are behind public opinion on this
question. They do not at all understand
the seriousness and extent of the anger and
disgust which their course is exciting. But
it is very certain that the American people
are determined not to put up with the
abuse of political assessments any longer,
and that if Congressman caunot be made to
this they can at least be taken
out of Congress.

TIE DEATH OF GENERAL sxoBzLgrr.

What promised to be brilliant career
has been suddenly cut short by the death
of General Skobeleff. He was a man
somewhat of the Custer type, brave to
foolhardiuess, passionately fond of adven-
ture, melodrsmatic in tastes, and ready to
do anything to create for himself new
field of military activity. He was good
representative OF that Russian military
element which has no use for the Govern
ment except for purposes of war, and
which would if it could keep the country
embroiled with its neighbors continually.
Skobelef was no statesman, and probably
not skillful commander He could lead
charge calamity, or undertake des-
perate enterprise, but he was much more
tighter than a captain. Had he lived he
would doubtless have done all he could to
promote a foreign war, no matter whether
with Germany or England, and he would
have distinguished himself in the field.
But as to what should be done with the
consequences of war, such considerations
never troubled him

There are now in this state eight eypen-
siye manufactures, at which cars are
built, and attached to four of them are
foundries, which east the wheels and all
other cast-iron material used in their
construction. These works give EN-.
ployment to $3.50 men, according to the
