a SAN Francisco paper notes the
departure from that port of ship des-
tined for Europe loaded with redwood
and other finishing timbers of Cali
fornia growth. The shipment is in the
nature of an experiment, but it is stat
ed that the conditions OF cost, transport
and market have been carefully studied
and that there is no doubt of the sue
c,ss OF the enterprise, aud it is pre-
dicted that other ships and many OF
them will follow. Ii is fact well
known that Oregon produces greater
variety and much finer woods than
California. The Port Oxford cedar is
OF the same general character, but in
every particular respect better tim
Der than the redwood. Its
color is better for panel and
other fine work, and its grain is more
distinct. We have dozen or - score
of other fine woods, but the best and
most beautiful Of all is the myrtle
which grows along the streams OF the
southern coast. The beauty OF this
wood Is beyond comparison. IL is
nearly ms dark ms black walnut, mot
tied with mahogauy-colored streaks, is
hard ana susceptible of perfect
polish, and retains its tough
ness when sawed into The
thinnest yeneering There Is
no ornamental timber, except rose
wood, equal 10 1t. Even the curly and
bird's-eye maple, so much admired is
dingy and cheap looking beside it.and
the famous redwood Is as inferior as
ordinary cedar is 10 mahogany. III
this beautiful timber Were once in
troduced in the East or in Europe we
believe that it would soon he in great
demand. 1t grows In forets in the
counties of Coos, Curry and Douglas,
easily accessible 10 the ocean.

Sweetwater, December 2G.-Christ-

portant events of the season thus far
are as follows:
A Christmas tree of immense proper
tons ct the court house, which cop-
tanned many articles of great value
and beauty. a contribution was
raised sufficient To purchase one round
| of candy each for every child in Sweet
water, consequently the children
turned out en- plasse. There were
some fears expressed as to the strength
o. the court house in sustaining the
weight OF the immense coDcOurse OF
people who were i'll attendance, but
! the court room was lllled to its utmost
capacity with people TO the number OF
! al least ] ,2O0, without any effect what
ever on the building.

Dallas Times: And the Dallas cor

Times usually furnishes the CORE

we can't for the life of us account for

IN declaring that Dallas has never
commented on Governor Ireland's
course in the fence-cutting or any
other troubles, and that the News cor
respondent never heard of the alore-
said Inertia I'LL he saw an editorial

his constitutional authority TO sup

else. the News would be the first to
raise n protest. The fence-cutters al

he would he promptly in

Mckinney Enquirer: Gov. Ireland
has been censured bya portion of the
Texas press for his course in the fence
cutting business. II does seem to us
that he has done and is doing all In
his power to check this species of law
lessness, while some of those who CEN
sure him can lay no claim to even q de-
nunciation of the crime. Let every
good citizen interest himself in sus-
t&ining the governor, aud all other of
ticers, in the rigid enforcement of the
laws, and not only fence-cutting, but
other species of crime will be greatly
decreased The efforts ofthe governor
in this emergency can but meet the
hearty appreciation of every law-abid-

Waco Examiner: 'rhc assault OF
the Galveston News upon Gov. Ire
land bears striking resemblance 10
the attack made upon Governor Coke,
by the same paper and its satellites,
on account OF lAwiessness during his
administration. Both of these attacks
are about ON Il par, in justice. 10 the
respective chief executives and eXhib-
itsin the News either q distressing H.
norance as TO the functions OF the esS-
ecutive office, on willful disposition
to misrepresent aod maligu them.
Governor ireland has about rs much
to do with furnishing crime, or
inllicting punishment, as the pro-
prietors OF the News. The
law af1iNes the punishment and if i,
is not commensurate with the crime,
the law-making and not the executive
power is responsible. The people
elect their sherliIs and have the power
OF inpeaehing them. Therefore if in
competent or corrupt sherifis fail TO
apprehend vioiat irs of the law, the
people, and not the executive, are re-
sponsble. Juries Of citizens sit upon
the guilt or innocence al the offenders,
and If guilty men are turned loose il is
the citizen, and not the executive,
who ie To blame.

mittee, to which had been referred bill relative
TO the filling Of certain vacancies IN Government
positions, reported recommending that the bill be
laid on the table.
The same member, from the same Committee.
pre- sented a report on the bill 70 amend Chapter
NXAII of the Penal Code relating to libel as fol
lows
offense of Islander into the said Chapter Of the
Penal Code which is devoted to libel alone, there
by confusing the two subjects Of libel and SANDER
His Majesty the King IS sufficiently protected from
libel by the existing lava as may be ascertained
by examination, and by the fact that from the
time Of its enactment Of the present law II has
never happened that proceedings have been brought
against any one for libeling any Hawaiian bower
eign. The penalties allowed BY the said bill may
be imposed under the old Law as amended at this
session of the Legislature. The provisions Of the
new Section Of this bill as ction ID Of Chapter
AAAII Of the Penal Code disalloRing any defend
ant charged with libclling Hawaiian Sovereign
from giving IN his testim1ney in defence Of the
Truth Of the matter charged TO be libelous or de-
famatory Is inconsistent with the dignity OF the
kingiy office and with public policy a. = Is a mat
ter Of public interest that the King shall maintain
its Constitution whole and inviOlate and 10 govern
in conformity thereuith, according to his oath Of
Office. and no one can properly be restricted IN the
right of publicly criticizng and weighing the pub
lie acts Of the King subject in other matters Of
criticism to responsibility for The abuse Of sueh
right, and no Sovereign with Que regard to bis
own honor and position can desire to evade such
criticism.
Yoar Committee therefore recommend that the
said bill be laid upon the table,
