A Reform School.

Miss S. A. Sewell has volunteered to
circulate a petition for signatures to be
presented to the Board of Supervisors
praying for the establishing of Reform
School for juvenile delinquents in this
city. The object is worthy and a nee
essary institution. There is in every
community class Of youthful offenders,
who cannot on account of their age, and
ought not certainly to be, sent to the
State Prison with the worst and most
abandoned criminals in the land, but
should be placed where they can learn
something else than mischief, and where
they will be instructed every day in the
elementary branches of learning and in
morals and department. The need OF
such school in Southern California is
urgent, and the proper place for it is
in this city or its suburbs. The mission
of Miss Sewell is fnll of merit and will
meet with hearty endorsement from all
philanthropic individuals 1t is doubt
full il our Board Of Supervisors can do
this needed work. The State is the
proper authority for establishing and
endowing such school, and an earnest
and continuous effort should be made
until such thing is accomplished. Miss
Sewell, though somewhat Of an invalid,
has been engaged in works of philan-
thropy and benevoIence for Sc, eral
years, and attributes her strength to
the diversion that this labor has brought
to her, In preventing her from thinking
of herself. We wish her abundant sue

Buffer, while angling for speckled beau

after George had tried to bluff her,
Blufferl by various gesticulations and

All attempts to brighten the brute away

was the worst scared man in Cal. He
realized that unless he succeeded in kill

him, would soon be torn from the

SHARP Talk TO JUICES.
Some Hard Raps at the Solemn Citi-
zens of the Bench.

One OF the most effective thrusts in
Judge Blacks admirable argument be-
fore the Electoral Commission in the
Florida case was suggested by famous
remark attributed to Chief Justice
Murshall "0ne of the gentlemen who
spoke Yesterday said Mr.. Black,
"repeated what had been said BY
Judge Marshall, and which / am glad
he did. We have heard it before, but
it cannot be told too often, for it con-
tains a very wholesome moral. The
Judge said to counselor who was ad
dressing him that Judge of the
Supreme Court was presumed to know
something. l hope that no decision
which you may make in this case will
repel that presumption. >
This is going very near the line where
respect for a judicial tribunal ends and
contempt of courts begins. II reminds
us of what Rejoice Newton, we'll
known member OF the Worcester county
bar, once said to the full bench of the
Supreme Court OF Massachusetts,, when
the great and severe Chief Justice Shaw
presided over that tribunal. MAY it
please your Honors, said Mr.. Newton,
II have the greatest respect for the opin-
ions of this court, exeept-except in a
few gross cases."
A story is told Of Tom Marshall of
Kentucky that he once spoke of ruling
on certain trial as without parallel
since pontius Plate presided on the
trial of Christi This struck the Judge
as rather disrespectful and he imposed a
fine upon the lawyer, who protested
against it most earnestly. II confess,
your Honor" said Mr.. Marshall, "that
what said was little tough on Pom
thus PLATE, but this is the first occasion
in the history of Kentucky jurispru-
dence that to speak disrespectfully of
Pontius Plate has been declared con-
tempt of court.
Thus bold and brilliant men relieve
the ordinary toll Of laborious profess

Another Calamity.

While our citizens were ENJOYING the

mantle of frost which was spread over

In the Middle and old Northwestern
States, the loss to the corn crop is esti.

This is a very serious loss. The corn
crop is the greatest agricultural product
of the United States and territories. A
full crop of this grain is estimated to be

Profit in rree-Planting.

No case so pointedly illustrates the
difference between thing being imme.
diately profitable and ultimately profita-
Bile as the planting of trees of whatever
kind, but especially of forest trees. The
writer of this article recently owned a
farm in Illinois Of 240 acres, upon which
about twenty four acres had grown to
scrub oak timber good for little besides
cordwood. The value of the crop on
the twenty-four acres, which had grown
up in thirty years. was $4,000. If the
whole farm had been left to grow up to
timber in the same way the value
Of the timber would have been at
least $4,000, and probably more,
as the land occupied by the wood
was the least fertile on the farm.
Spreading $50. 900 ever the thirty years
would have divided net profit on each
year of 81 200, without labor which was
several times more than had ever been
got out of the farm as net profit over
the cost of the labor in any one year.
Yet not one of the half.dozen farmers
who had lived out of the farm during
that period would have had the means
to enable him to pursue the more profit
able policy. We know few farmers in
Illinois who have deliberately given over
land to forest on the same calculation,
but few of the owners of very large
farms would think they could afford it.

The high license suits started in Ven
tura county, went up like rocket, with
excitement and blaze. and have come
down like the stick of that exploded but
popular piece Of fireworks. 1t appears
that the Chairman Of the Board Of SUI
pervisors signed the wrong paper. and
did not sign the high license ordinance
that was published. at ALI so those deal-
ers who did not pay the high license
have gone scot free for month. They
laugh best who laugh last. The prob
ability is that the suits will all be COM
menced again. That is cheerful news
to the taxpayers, who will hereafter look
out who they elect to the Board Of Su-
pervisors. The county lost $500 by

Although Mrs. Hayes made pass
ably brilliant record as President of the
United States, she was utterly devoid of
that queenly imperiousness which char
acterizes Mrs. Secretary Chandler, the
present distinguished ruler of the
United States Navy. For, while the
iirst-named was generally wont to ex-
ercise her authority almost exclusively
through her husband, MIR. Ruthsr-
ford Hayes, Mrs. Secretary Chambers
subordinates receive their orders direct
from her. That she is modest in the
use Of her power, however, is shown by
the fact that when she goes shopping or
sightseeing, which is frequent, she is
content with Lieutenant or Midship-
man in full Uniform to carry her bundles,
whereas she might have made a Captain
or an Admiral serve as her lob-lolly
boy had she felt go disposed. By Mrs.
Chambers administration of naval af-
fairs two points are gained: The first
Of these is that it allows her husband to
devote his whole time to political con-
nubiating. and the second Is that she
