The Mussel slough Tragedy.

Another Mussel Slough tragedy
is accorded. McAulirte, who was
left in charge of the Knox ranch,
from which one Cockrell was re-
moved . few days ago, was found
dead yesterday near his house with
several bullet wounds in his body.
If this kind of business is carried
much further in that locality the
land will be vel irrigated with hu-
man gore. -Sacramento Bee.
No more outrageous and lnfa-
NOUS piece of work than the evic
ton of bona fide settlers at Mussel
Slough has ever been recorded in
this country. 1t is worse than the
eyictions in Ireland. because the
Irish peasants do not own the lands
they live on while the Mussel
Slough settlers do. All the e1tor
tions and tyrannies of the c. P. R.
II. corporation combined does not
touch in the magnitude Of their in
Justice, this infamy at Mussel
Slough. The settlers have applied
in vain to the courts for redress ard
they row resort to powder and ball.
It may be q lawless resort but
there is not a honest or justice low
ing men on this coast who would
regret if every attempt made to
evict bona fide owners Of land from
their possessions was supplement-
ed by dead body being found on
the ground in the morning. Vhe
G. P. Railroad people might as well
learn now as any time that the
humblest log cabin in Southern
California is o castle when inhabit-
ed by an American citizen.

ing on our Constitution. 1t insists

Now almost everybody agrees
that some changes are needed, but
almost everybody alse agrees that
those changes can be made by the

gestion has already been oade that
amendments which are needed be
placed before the people by the
newspapers. There is plenty of
time to discuss, and when the Coun
ty Conventions pledge their candi-
dates to these amendments already
prepared, there will be no tinker
ing in the Legislature.
Suppose, for example, the Times
Review puts in words its idea as to
abolishing the Office of Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. Let
it get up ON amendment which will
do away with that Office. Every
body will support it and there will
be no trouble in having it adopted
Other papers can do the same thing,

The abolition of the Office of State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton would meet with the hearty
endorsement Of the taxpayers. The
present incumbent of the Office is
an absolute nonenity, like his pre-.
decessors, and there has never been
q time in the history Of the State
when this officer ever did anything
to speak of in return for the money
dragged from the State Treasury.
Let the Office expire with the term
of lis present incumbent who has
not been at his pest for months.

Arkansaw City Matt.
That intelligently directed industry
will bring big returns to planters and
farmers in this section is proved every
day. Brains and work will tell, and
it is hard to keep man down who
uses the one to direct the other. By
careful tillage and close attention to
the needs Of the soil, Colonel W. O.
Sherrod, of Pendleton, this county,
has brought his naturally fertile plan
tation to the highest pitch of produce
tiyeness. Last year he raised six
hundred bales of cotton, only a small
portion of which was caught in the field
when bad weather came on because of
difficulty of getting piekers. One hand
and mule made ~ bales; another made
70 bales, another II bales, and so on
every hand on the place coming out at
the end Of the year with a handsome
balance to his credit. In addition,
there were raised immense crops Of
corn, potatoes and an abundance OF
forage for all the stock Cotton rails
ing will certainly pay, if managed as
any ordinary good business man would
conduct his operations.
FARMING ON A SMALL SCALE.
Here is what one man and mule
did on overfowed land last year. Mr..
Joseph Tedder, whe owns and works
farm on what used to be known as
the johnson place, eight or ten miles
above town on the river, raised, picked
and marketed eight bales Of cotton,
and more corn than enough to supply
his wants the coming season. The
cotton was of high grade, Mr.. Tedder
refusing an offer of 91c per pound for
it here, good ordinary being quoted at
the time in Memphis at 80. When it
is remembered that he hired no help
during the year, save a few days pick
ing, and that his land was under water
the first day Of June, his success is
somewhat remarkable, and demon
strates what can be done in the bot
toms" when intelligence and industry
are brought to bear. Best of all, when
Tedder's crop was gathered it belonged
to him; he made it on cash basis
that is, he incurred no debts; what he
did not have he did without; he re.
versed the order of chicken to-day
and feathers tomorrow. His exam
pie should not be lost.

abbey has grown blacker and bIacker,
until lis now hard to say which Of the
two metropolitan cathedrals is the
grimier. 1t is this constant deposit Of
harmful particles which has been
silently doing the mischief that has
now become so serious. The decision
arrived at by the Dean and Chapter by
the light OF their professional advice is,
we understand, that there is no alterna

the abbey. If it really be that there is

The Daring 6allantry of Four
Virginia Soldiers.


Mr.. ] P. Jordan, a quiet business
man Of this city, has placed in the
hands Of the LEnaER staff a paper to
be given to some historical assOcia'
tion, which we take the liberty Of
publishing without consulting him.
He seemed to set very little value by
it, but remarked that somebody collect
ing old papers might think it worth
preserving. So we think and will see
to it. 1t is simply a special order
issued by Major General Pickett com
plimentrry to Mr.. Jordan and three
other Virginia soldiers for gallant
conduct. Out of the four Mr.. Jordan
alone survives. The others have
crossed over the river to rest under
the trees" The order is written on
plain, Confederate paper, is yellow
with age and the worse for wear. We
will see that it goes into the archives
Of the Southern Historical Society or
some permanent collection. Here is
