YELLOW FEVER.

Referring to the appearance Of yellow
fever in Panama, and its certainty of re-
appearance in Mexico very soon, the Los
Angeles Express urges the adoption of
early strict precautions in California, but
fears it is to late too do more than MAIN
tain rigid quarantine. Very true, but
even that will not be done as it should
Ships will be allowed to come and go be-
tween yellow fever ports and San Fran
cisco, as of old We should have author
ity, and ii is possible to secure it, to give
notice that during the prevalence of the
fever Mexican and Panama ports will be
declared infected, and that shipping from
those points will be refused right of entry to
our harbors. II is far better to shut off
commerce for three or four months than TO
bring the plague upon us, which, if it is
once introduced. will find here congenial
home and will long remain, to our incalcu-
liable injury.

Works Once Offered Us.

EDS RECORD MON: In company with
Mr. A. J. Stevens, Master Mechanic of the
Central Pacific Railway, | visited recently
the works of the California Iron and Steel
Company, situated on the margin of the
bay of San Francisco, at West Oakland
were informed that they are continually
enlarging, as, indeed, we could perceive
by the number of new buildings in pro-
cess of construction. In this establish
ment great variety of material is manu-
featured, all of which is suited to and finds
a ready market. One part is appropriated
TO the manufacture of agricultural nipple
ments including one kind of machine, ! 200
of which, we were told, have been sold this
spring, and orders for more are i'll hand
Adjoining are the file works where every
description of files are made, the first in
California, and of as good quality and as
low in price as any imported. Next are
the nail and tack works, where over 800
different varieties of these articles are made,
and in such quantity rs will soon preclude
the necessity for importing any from the
East or elsewhere. Then comes the rolling
mill, where all kinds of merchant iron is
made, for which a ready sale is found, and
for the various goods manufactured in the
works. Near by are the steel castings and
malleable iron works, which are being ex-
tended and promise to be very eX-
tenSive, especially as there is contemplated
Il railroad steel rail mill. There are many
minor manufactures carried on in these
works, which, though subordinate to those
mentioned are still important | have
been somewhat difftse in describing as
above, but my reason is that want to call
attention 10 the fact that the iron for these
works, exclusive of some scrap, is furnished
from the Clipper Gap iron mines III Placer
county, the ore of which is found to be The
equal Of any in the world for most pur-
poses, and superior in some respects TO any;
and to the further fact that there are now
some 100 work people employed in the
works, at least 200 of whom are youths and
girls from the age of - to Is years, in this
case, and SO far answering the question OF
What shall we do with our boys and
girls; and lastly to call 10 the minds of
our capitalists in Sacramento the fact thai
| made considerable effort to induce them
to take a sufficient amount Of stock i'll the
California Iron and Steel Company 5000
shares at S25 per share, to insure the build
ing of these works in Sacramento: that not
one share was subscribed for, and that the
same stock is new selling for from S3S to
$40 per share. Had there been any enter
prise of the right kind we should DC now
finding useful employment for the numbc-
of persons as above. Vt seems to be TIE
misfortune of our city that its moneyed
men will not invest in enterprises that III
other cities never have to 20 begging, while
if two electric light companies require
capital they find it readily. Now ii seems
to me the city might have got along awhile
with one or none, for it gives employment
TO but very few, and the money invested
would have been far better placed in
manufacturing enterprise. W.

A soulIEss CORPORATION WINS.

A cold-blooded railroad corporation has
won lawsuit in Massachusetts against an
oppressed shipper, that must make the
average anti-railroad legislative crank
gnaw file The Supreme Court of Mas
sachusetts needs regulating, and the CAL
ifornia PERFORMERS should engage in the
task. In the case referred to d shipper
shipped load of highwines, placing the
value in the bill of laling at $50 per bar
rel The Lake Shere Railway lost 4he
goods in a collision On trial for recovery
of the value of the spirits the plaintiff
sought 10 prove the market value 10 I've $50
per barrel The Court below refused to
permit the showing and the plaintiff be-
came appellant. The Supreme Court by
unanimous vote now sustains theCourt be-
low, holding that, as the carrier had no
other knowledge of the value ~ the goods
than that stated by plaintiff ii the bill OF
lading, no greater sum can he recovered
! because the railroad had the right to base
its compensation, to some extent, on the
value of the merchandise shipped The
plaintiff obtained lower rate for carriage
by placing low value en- his goods, and
good faith demanded tha he be held tc
that valuation. This is an outrageous rul-
ing of corrupted tribunal, of course. The
railway carrier, having DO rights and being
q creature of the law and the slave of the
people, it should not be permitted to sci
up against the shipper his own fraud
According to Radical ethics this i:
an mheard of decision-an absurd rul-
ing that the value of the goods cuts any
figure whatever in the price for the serv
ice, Really, this is a case the San Fran
cisco Examiner and the radicals of The
Legislature should look into, even though
it occurred in Massachusetts.

WHERE WILL THEY BE?

The Century lately said: Perhaps po-
litieal reforms may he accomplished in the
future in America without the identical
partisan methods which heretofore have
generally been thought necessary. There
are many reforms TO be made in the sys-
TEN of government, and in our national
and State legislation, which can be- per-
haps, quite as well accomplished by those
intelligent on these subjects inside the va
rious established parties" Very true-but
there's the rub The intelligent men
within the Democratic party, for instance,
in California, have been orerridden and
cowed by the purely selfish and selfSeek-
ing-a clique Of bosses who are determined
to rule no matter at what cost. The peo-
pie somehow do not at all times manage
TO pick out enough intelligent men to Off
set the tools of the bosses. Certainly the
political reform which the Century invokes
must begin, rs that journal suggests, with
the voters. Every man must be his own
Independent party OF reform, and act with
those who hold the duty of citizenship at
the same estimate with himself. Out of
such concert viii come power that viii
command the respect of party, and bring IT
to. its highest deyelpement and loftiest
purpose-the securing of the best legisla-
ton and the soundest governmental policy
and administration But in that day
where will be the political bosses, the
whippers-in, the browbeqters and bullies,
and the ambitious incompetents whose
hirelings are just now hanging to the leg
islatiye coat skirts in Sacramento and using
all means, from fair to foul, to accomplish
unholy ends? Where, indeed2

Body of Murdered Man Found.

to be J. Nichols was found murdered in the
Pyramid mountains, twelve miles east of
here, this morning The body was in an
advanced stage of decomposition, and could
only be identified by papers in his pockets.
His assassins had evidently attempted to
hang him, but the rope being too weak
they took the shorter method and shot
him twice once in the lett eye and once in
the left side. \ piece of rope was found
around his neck. His hands were bound,
and the rope from his hands reached to the
limb of Il tree directly above the body.

FEARS OF CORRUPTION

With the downfall of radicalism in the
extra session of the Legislature, and the
maintenance OF conservatism and Justice
the chagrined demagogues have entered
upon the scheme of " whooping up" the
Democratic State Convention to be held
soon at Stockton. Hearst's organ has
sounded the keynote, and now the whole
pack is in chorus yelping. The point is to
create an impression that somebody, and
particularly railroad people, are busily ar
ranging to corrupt that body, and secure
from it condemnation of radicals, who have
about wrecked the party. Corrupt it, in
deed. 1t should occur to those who are
working this vein of sensationalism that
saseh procedure is unnecessary. That Con-
vention will have lost all power if the
radicals capture it. 1t will be, in that
event. ,>ulY days sitting of the radical
wing of the Assembly - "n the other
hand. the better element of the Den1oc-
racy secures control, there will be
none but the denlagogues, and the legisla-
tive radicals, the Hearsts Greenhouses, ct
ais. TO be afraid. No one else need enter
tain fear This new cry about somebody
trying to capture the Stockton Convention
is n weak invention, silly device to cover
the disgrace Of the radicals. and foolish
attempt to distract attention from their
nakedness The radicals need not protest ;
the virtue of a strumpet is never assailed.
They need have no fear of corruption being
attempted; they are beyond it, and good
men the vicious never approach with venal
offers. This assumed fear that somebody
will ravish the Stockton Democratic as
semblage may be likened to the loud pirate
of worn wanton who proclaims her price

Lands in Severalty for Indians-Crop
Outlook.

WALLA WALLA, May llth-Captain {.
Becdc, Special Indian Agent. has held a
council with the Washtucna Indians, with
a view of securing them on lands i'll sever
atty before all is taken up by the whites.
These Indians are non-trcaty, and have had
letters written for them by parties who
have interested themselves in their behalf.
The first council was held Saturday even
ing, when the Agent told them what he
was there for, and explained to them how
they would be benefited by taking the
land. On Sunday another council was held.
The Indians appear to stand off to certain
extent The feeling that the land is part
and parcel of themselves prevents them
from deciding just what to do. There is
hope that at the next council they will
acquiesce, especially as it seems that the
only alternative is to go on a reservation.
The crops bid fair to be heavier through
out the country than for five years past,
