been stopping at the hotel for three months

legislature circles IN this State. These
valiant warriors met in the bar-room of the

and Bridgeford said that Brady was a

A Melancholy Mystery.

A few days since, Mr.. Carpenter,
constable at Riverside, while on bust
uess up at Box Springs Cshon. picked
up silver key-ring tag, in the shape Of
a key stone, upon which was engraved
''John p. O'Connell, San Bernardino,
CAL, with three links with the letters
f. L. T. enclosed. The tag was given
TO US, and it brings to mind tragic
event of the decade past. Mr.. John p.
O'Connell was then prominent bust.
ness man of our town, with store on D
street, yet owned by his widow. In
his employ was a young man now 0
resident of Riverside, who had charge
of his business in his absence. One
summer he took his usual vacation, go.
ing to Santa Catalina Islands, and while
there was unfortunately drowned. Pre-.
vious to his departure he had offered a
considerable sum of money. some five or
siv hundred dollars, to Mr.. b. +.
Mathews, who not needing it, refused
the loan.
Having no better place to deposit his
money he placed it in large bowl, to-
gether with note for $40, with deeds
and other valuable papers, which after
his death could not be found, and what
ne had done with them prior to his de.
parture remains a mystery to this day.
Now after all these years comes this
little tag which was deposited with the
other things, and it is bright and clean,
from constant usage, giving no signs OF
having been buried, at least for any
length of time, and as we look at it we
wonder what story could it tell had it a
voice, and if it might not be able to put
the widow aud her children in the way
of recovering her lost property. But it
is all that is left of that hidden treasure
and it tells no tale.-[San Bernardino

Eiecssne supreme Judges.

The most serious business the electors
will have to perform on the first Tues
tiay of the next month will be the elec-
tion OF three Supreme Judges. This
will practically result in the reorganiza-
tion OF the Court as at present consti.
tuted. For although a majority, or
-four members, remain, 1t Is pretty Ger
tain that one or more OF them will
either resign or be pensioned of. In the
case of vacancy the new Governor
would appoint, and doubtless he would
look to the elections for an indication OF
the popular will. Apart, however, from
these special considerations, the election
of Supreme Judges is always O most i'm
portant matter. The Highest Appellate
Court of the State constructs the Consti
tuition of the State, and extends to every
man who applies to it the protection in
tended to be conferred by that charter
of our liberties. The Supreme Court is
the strongest bulwark erected by the
Constitution for its enforcement. and for
the guardianship of every mans rights.
Of course. in certain cases, an appeal
may be taken to the U. 5. Supreme
Court, but that is SO costly, and leads
~ Sutu oOkaySs thdb tht ototV ooRAShAS
Court is for nearly all of us the Court of
last resort. The luxury of going beyond
its DEGREES, only millionaires and corpor-
ations may indulge in. Looking, there
fore, to the interests involved in having
an honest and capable Court, too much
attention cannot possibly be given to the
matter of selecting not only men who
are honest, but Jurists of the very high
est order of mind and acquired exper.
fence. 1t is to be regretted that the sal
AIRY is inadequate to Che procurement of
the order of talent the people need, and
which they would gladly pay for. The
cheap and nasty men whom it was in
tended to obtain by those who draf ed
the sections of the Constitution relating
to the Judiciary. were calculated to
bring that instrument into contempt, and
that is why the cunning tricksters put
the salaries down to their present low
figure. Those salaries do not attract
the right men to the right places. That
can. and in the near future must be
changed. For the present we must do
the best we can. The voters of the
whole State must select from such ma
terial as is before them. Happily, in
the case of Jackson Temple, there is a
general coneensus of opinion that he
shall lie elected. aud, therefore, nothing
more need be said about him. Byron
Waters, of San Bernardino, is not hav.
ing the justice done him by the press of
this city that he ought to have. 1t is
no fault of his that they know so little
about the able men outside of San Fran.
cisco's boundaries. That they know lit.
tle, and say less about Byron Waters,
candidate for Supreme Judge. agues
their own ignorance and inefficiency,
but in no manner makes against him.
A strong and vigorous thinker, sound
.Jurist and an honest man. he ought to
be elected, and if he is, he will prove
an acquisition to the Supreme Bench. -

steel Rails,

Those advocates of free exchange who
hold that protection overttimulates the
production of manufactured goods, will
not fiud that their theory is sustained
by the present condition of the trade in
steel rails. ALI of the Eastern foundries
are engaged to their utmost capacity and
are overwhelmed with orders which they
cannot Immediately fill. The demand is
so much greater than the immediate sup
ply that immense importations from En-
gland are being made, in spite of the
heavy duty, and very large railroad
train loaded with foreign rails was dis.
patched the other day from New York
to Texas. The free traders argue that
there are too many factories in this
country, more than can be legitimately
supported by healthful demand for
their products. No better answer to
the. sbsurdity can be found than the
facts that have just been stated. They
are also hopeful indication OF the rapid
progress of railroad building and the
consequent bringing OF the great South
west still nearer to the Eastern and Eu.
ropean markets.--S. F. Call.
