"PREsIDENT CLEVELAND is not n meteor,
but a steady luminary," says one of his adj
mirers. We have no unpleasant remarks
to make on this eulogstic outburst, but 1t
occurs to us that President Cleveland is
decidedly meatier than almost any one Of
his predecessors.

1t would be nearer the truth to say that
Mr.. Sparks is continually in situations
that would be affective to almost any
other man. But none of these things
worry Sparks. He has got so accustomed
to having his decisions reversed that he
would feel sighted and coldly neglected II
his daily reversal did not come in on
echedule time.

A MEMORIAL signed by William VI. Bur-
well, Of New Orleans; Robert G. Wood, OF
Louisiana; S. c. Cobb, of Pensacola, and
ID. McRae, OF Arkansas, to Postmaster Gen
eral Villas, upon the maritime interests Of
the gulf states and the Mississippi valley,
is a most important paper in the inter
est OF commerce. The document is
tceming with facts that should
awaken this dead.and-alive administration
to the necessities of the people of the south
ern states. 1t states that the gulf front
ports are the gates through which the re-
ciprocal commerce should be conducted be-
tween the United States and the tropics.
1t represents that the commerce of the
United States with the countries so situated
amounts to about two hundred aud fifty
millions. The memorial demands
the benefits of direct communities
ton, and that the interior west
shall not be compelled to conduc,
its tropical exports over eastern ways and
around distant and dangerous coasts at an
enhanced cost Of time, freight, and insur-
ance, and to the detriment Of its own longi.
tudinal transportation by rail and river
which would be the proper carriers Of theii
| tropical trade by way Of the gulf ports
| What the country needs is a change-re
form. 1t requires craftsmanship. To gel
II the south must send Republicans to Con
| gress.

1t il well known that the b. P. Co
has struck snag in the matter of secur-
ing right Of way for their road be-
tween Newhall and Ventura. The diff.
Guilty has all been developed between
Santa Paula and Ventura. That section
Of the country is well settled and under
a high state of cultivation. The haul
to Ventura is short and the steamers
carry produce thence to San Francisco
on favorable terms. Hence those small
ranch holders, who grow mostly fruit.
which they dry, and beans, do not
greatly need a railway. The fact that
their holdings are small shows that the
road in its passage may cut them in q
bad shape. Hence the resistance they
show to letting the road pass. 1t is
only here and there one who refuses
the right Of way. Most of them
see that competition in the carrying
business will benefit them. They also
see that read through Los Angeles
opens way east at the same rate as
from San Francisco and so saves the cost
Of transportation by sea to that city.
Again, with direct connection with the
East they oan ship fruit green ss well as
dried, and go get the benefit Of choice
in markets. Still farther, they will be
in the direct line of the passenger traf;
flo from the Esst--another big benefit.
1t is Thought all the obstacles will FIN
ally be overcome.

A Burglar Meets GRIEF.

The Cotton Semi. Tropic begins to sec
the dangers incident to new metropolis
which always attra Ia to itself the ad.
venturous Of all nations, good, bad and
Indifferent. Following is a sample Of a
fresh arrival at the Hub of Southern
California:
Last night between twelve and one
o'clock our town was disturbed by the
sound Of pistol shots ringing out on the
midnight air, In the vicinity Of the Col
ton cannery, and considerable specnla-
ton was INDUCED in as to the cause.
Inquiry this morning elected the fact
that the shots were fred by q man
named Cline at a tramp who was trying
to effeo. forcible entry into the dwell
ing house occupied by Mr.. john Bowen
and family, Immediately north Of and
fronting the cannery buildings. 1t
seems that this was the third attempt
made by the tramp to gain an
entrance INTO this house. Mr..
Bowen is employed on the Southern
Pacific road as an engineer and is often
absent from home all night. On Friday
night some one attempted to force an
entrance into the house, which was CO.
oupied by Mrs. 3. and her children, but
the lady made such on cutlery that the
person, whoever it was, decamped very
suddenly. Mr.. B. was informed of the
circumstance, but did nothing about it
ct the time. On Saturday night some
one again attempted to break into the
L1~.- tx.k -. f~;e<hka.oI o.v.x, Z,
By this time Mr.. B. concluded to take
some action. and as he expected to go
out on bis engine last night, got young
man named Cline and the night watch
man at the cannery to watch out for the
person who was causing his family 30
much trouble. Accordingly, on last
night, between IL and l o'clock, the
watchers were rewarded by seeing q
rnau sneaking along toward the house,
and after accommodating try to pry open
Q window. The noise made by the
house breaker awakened Mrs. B., who
cried out to the man to be gone. At
this juncture Cline and his CON panion
tried to effect capture, but the straug-
or, whoever he was. started to run As
soon a. he found that be was discovered.
Not hating when told to stop, Cline
fred his revolver twice at the fleeing
man, and has good reason to believe he
winged him in both arms. Blood was
found on the ground in the path pursued
by thu man as he was running away.
Shortly after the shooting. tramp with
blood dripping from his arms, and sup
posed to be the one shot at by Cline, en-
tered Raiders saloon, but did not stay
any length of time. as he almost imme-
diately disappeared and has not been
seen since"
