Boees AND Fgg BUGS.

The Red Scale of Los Angeles county
held mas convention fsw days since,
and passed series Of resolutions very
complimentary to w. NJ. Boggs, the new
Bug Inspector They declared him to be
as wise as q serpent ana as harmless as 3
dove. Press and Horsiculturist.
The San Francisco Erchangc says: No
one ever heard OF Bcggs before, and that
he has himself Admired that he knows
nothing about fruit pests, his only expe-
rience with parasites being far back in his
early childhood, when he toyed with them
with fine tooth comb.
Petitions are in circulation all over the
State among fruit growers and the people
generally for all are fhterested), asking the
Governor 20 take such steps as will result
in the removal OF Mr.. Boggs as Inspector
of Fsuit Pests, and the election of suitable
man in his stead. Every man in Riverside
should sign the petition every fruit
grower in the State should sign it. His
election was an outrage on the horticultural
interests of the State.-[ The Press and Hor.
ticultuiist.
The Sonoma Union Democrat, speaking
OF the dissatisfaction of grangers aud hor.
ticulturists over the election of Boggs,
says: They say the "Bug Inspector " is
unacquainted with bugs. that he knows
nothing about them. Whether he does or
not he knows what $50 per month is, and
that's the milk in This cocoanut.

A sPooK IN YoLo.

The Woodland Democrat Gays that a
veritable ghost is now attracting the at.
tention of the Yoloites. According to that
paper, the scene of the ghostly visits is on
the old Todd place, about FIVE miles south.
west of Woodland, now owned by Mr..
Kincheloe, and rented by j. Q, A. Clark,
the proprietor OF the Woodland Winery.
There is a large vineyard on the place,
and small, low one.story house, close to
the road, is the place where his ghostship
is said to play his FRANKS. V. +. Hop.
kins, who has been employed on the place
for some time, says that there is no qHes-
ton but there are sounds of very mys-
terious character heard by the inmates of
the house every night, and that althoHgh
every effort has been made to fathom the
mystery, it has thus far remained as
greatly in the dark as when first noticed.
Several weeks ago the men in the house
were awakened in the night by loud and
distinct groaning, which seemed to come
from outside the house, in the direction of
the we'll. The groans were very loud, and
the men arose and went out in the yard
to reconnoiter, thinking that perhaps a
tramp had wandered that way and fell
in the well, which is large and open. A
lighted lantern was procured and let
down into the well by means of rope,
but nothing could be seen, although the
groaning ceased. This grooming is not
usual occurrence, but only happens semi
occasionally, say two or three times dur
ing month. On every night in the
week, however, can be heard noise that
sounds something like that produced by
striking a tin pan, only it is sharper
and clearer sound. Sometimes, however,
the ghost walks about, and although
nothing can be seen the footsteps can be
distinctly heard as it strides with majestic
tread around the rooms. Mr.. Hopkins
says that he heard it walk one night about
10 o'clock, and that it seemed to come in
through the door, although that entrance
was closed and locked. Mr.. II. states
that he was not excited in the least, but
sat up in bed and listened to the sound.
The moon was shining through the window,
making the room very light. He could see
nothing, but the sound as of one walking
was very distinct, and it seemed to pass
directly by the bed occupied by Mr.. Hop
kins, and then after walking around the
room passed out the same door by which it
entered. The men who work on the ranch

ments, and say that although they are not
believers in ghosts, yet these manifestations
are very peculiar, and sometimes keep
them awake during the whole night. They
at first thought the noises might be pro-
duced by cats under the house, and follow
ing this idea tore up the floor and moved
everythin movable, to find the source of
the noises, but to no effect. Several of the
citizens of Woodland are talking of going
out to the house to stay all night and cap
turs the spook if possible, or else solve the
mystery.

He kicked the full pals of milk over with

declared what all know to be true
that the Democracy is al broken up on

be impossible that the endeayor to make

and the country is coming around to that
view. Leave the question out of the cam

tariff plank broad enough, long enough.
strong enough, narrow enough or weak
enough for all the believers of either party

enough to do just now to take care of its
dynamite friends, whom it dare not sntago.

MORE OFFICIAL BLurnnRrNe.

1t looks very much as If the present is a
laundering State Administration in more
departments than one. Controller Dunn
has had charge Of the Gray Harbor Com
mission case, and with the aid of his right
hand man Clark, who has astonished all
who know him by testifying that he is q
bookkeeper, has been engineering that af-
fair in way that gives ground for the
fear that he will inextricably involve the
matter. The criminal proceedings against
Van Ness, that proved so farcical, looked
at the time as if it was an attempt to make
capital for the Controllers office. The
blunder Of Mr.. Damn in permitting Gray
so escape, whea he had it in his power to
prevent it, is open TO the suspicion OF be-
ing part of the plan TO work up sensation.
The action of Clark in ignoring and snub.
fing the prosecuting officer, and refusing
TO be guided by his advice, and yet in ex-
pecting him to conduct the examination in
She Police Court without being advised of
the facts, is only equaled by the absurdity
of his swearing ont warrants against Gray
Tor conspiracy, when that is not
one of the crimes for which he
could be extradited. It appears that
Burris, who has been in the thick and
thin of these investigations as an admins.

methods and self-suf6cient airs Of Clark,
and has declared that one of the defend.
ants, 0'Brien, is being prosecuted. It
would be interesting to know what Burris
means by this, and whether he refers to
<'sospisal-making" by Clark and his princi-
pal. At any rate Burris suddenly quits
the State employment, and, possessed of
Its information, turns up as attorney for

properly extradited, and that our Courts
cannot hold or try him, and a protest to
that effect has been made, and jurisdic-

As indicative of the spirit moving in
some quarters, it is to be noted that re-
Gently, in New York city, an Alderman,
and Democratic one, introduced an or.
dinance, which is said to actually have
some support, requiring all companies own
ing wharves to make the roofs over the
same fat, to guard them with marginal
rails and to floor them, that they may be
used by the poor as places for promenading,
and TO which they may resort to enjoy the
sea-breeze in the hot summer months. That
q great city like New York should provide
ample promenales and breathing places for
the people, no matter what their worldly
condition. is undeniable; but New York
has no right to require any one class to
foot the bill of cost. The proposed or
dinance is bit of Black Hand, communis-
tic and tyrsnnous regulative legislation that
is the natural child of the infamous teach.
ings of the past few years. It is another
manifestation of what some Legislatures in
this country have done and are doing un.
der the dangerous and wicked teaching that
men have no right of control over their own
property. There is no pretense, in this
case of the New York wharves, that the
owners have failed to discharge any and
all obligations to the municipality, or that
the title to occupancy is conditioned, at
the discretion of the city, to impose such
burdens as are suggested. The proposition
is simply to compel private companies to
supply New York city with something it
needs, and 60 punish for the refusal. OF
course the rights of the wharf companies
will be protected by the Courts if the per.
nicious measure passes, which is not prob
able. But the fact that such an ordinance
should be proposed is suggestive COM
mentary in itself, and gives point to the
charge made by Professor Winchell, that
the ends and means of civilization are
above the comprehension of those who are
allowed to determine American destiny,
and that the country, as is painfully visi-
BILE, is falling under the control Of incom-
potency.

THE SUN OF THE DEFENSE.

Presently the star route case will go to
the jury. The occasion gives opportunity
to look back upon the defense made. Re.
ducsd to it's true value it was but denial
only that. This is characteristic of nearly
all criminal Decentralization is the ex-
ception. Five of the defendants have de-
MED fatty and fully all the details of all
the charges. These were followed up by
attempted explanations of such of the
methods of the contractors as were admit
ted. Brady claimed that his expedition of
routes was in the interest of new sections
of the country demanding development !;
Dorsey explained that he was forced to
take routes to save himself from loss and
secure advances made to original contrac-
tors, and therefore no wrong-doing had
origin with him, and hence the necessary
element Of intent was wanting. Three
others made like explanations, and inter-
jected sneers of Rerdell the " informer. :"
And there is the whole of the labored de-
tense of the entire batch.
