WE are constrained by the conservatism
of the expression, to quote from an edi-
torial in the San Francisco Chronicle
on the recent Citrus Fair the para
graph is given below, eminently sound
and timely, and precisely in line with the
uniform expression of the REcoRD-UNIoN.
1t is conservative, unselfsh and unpre-
JUDGED expression such as this that will
aid in formulating public opinion properly,
and directing public action in right chan
nels. We of the north have no jealousies
of the south. Such sentiment has never
been entertained here. Misrepresentation
has had no place or part in northern
California immigration missionary work,
and no citizen of our section whose opinion
is worth considering entertains any other
feeling than one of qualification that our
brethren of the south have won as they
have deserved. The Chronicle says
"There are one or two lessons which are
taught by this exhibition which it would
be well to impress upon the minds of all.
One of these is that the cold logic of facts
is the most convincing argument, and be-
fore such facts as these ignorant misrepre-
sentation is completely conquered. The
primary object of the Sacramento fair is
the inducement of immigration into the
section making the display And just as
it was only the combined effort of the
twenty-five counties represented that
produced the success now presented, so
it requires a combination of energies to
set the flood of immigration in this
direction. What united and determined
effort will dc. has been well exemplifed
in the southern part of the State, and as
one of the speakers at the fair has said,
the people of that section deserve their
success, for they have worked hard for it,
and every true lover of the State rejoices
that they are reaping the reward for which
they have striven."

THE Los Angeles Express says: "We
have had as yet no satisfactory evidence
that any considerable quantity of oranges
can be produced in the northern part of
the State" What pity that some mis-
sionary did not pass the contribution box
to pay the cost of transportation of some
one of the staff of the Express to the Sac
ramento Citrus Fair. There are some
who are so blind they will not see. This
same Express adds to its article these
words, which will create more of amuse-
nent than of anger: The chief trouble
about raising oranges in the northern part
of the State is, however, the heavy frosts
that kill the trees there every few years"
Will the Express furnish bill of particu-
lars and name the places where trees have
been killed by frost, and a few of the
" every few years."

LONDON Truth dominates the grandson
of Queen Victoria, the infant of Princess
Beatrice, for the vacant throne of Bull
garia. Why not Infant Princes, under
Regeneies, have proven quite as good
rulers as mature people, and very often
much better. There is sense of response
bility upon Regent, certainty of day
of accounting that the ruler for life may
not feel. And then, too, why should not
an English Prince occupy the Bulgarian
throne as well as one of Danish or a
German house? Truth makes the nomi-
nation in jest, but really why should it not
be as earnest as that for Ferdinand?

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.
Senator Stanford Believes it Injurious to
Pacific Coast Interests.

Senator Stanford Believes it Injurious to
Pacific Coast Interests.
by Telegraph to the RECORD UNIoN.l
CHICAGO, December 20th.-The Washing
ton correspondent of morning journal
telegraphs an interview with Sem
ator Stanford on the pending interstate
commerce bill. The Senator said at
will have an injurious effect on the Pacific
coast What the merchants of the Pacific
slope want, like merchants in all other por-
tons of the country, is regularity of freight
rates on most of the merchandise in which
he deals. The difference of 81 or So Ton
in freights has no direct effect upon the
prices of manufactured articles. The re-
duction of S. ton, for instance, would
make a difference of only about one-fifth
of one per cent. in the selling price per
pound of goods, which any merchant
knows his customer will not take into con-
sideration. 1t is too small to be percepti-
BILE, and every merchant, whether he buys
his goods in May or September, stands on
the same basis, so far as freights are con-
cerned. But the fluctuations of freights
disturb trade and cause the loss of profits
to shippers, who have not had the advan-
tages of the lowest figures.
RAILROAD MANAGERS ARE NOT ENEMIES OF
THE PUBLIC,
AS demagogues would have the people
believe, but are studying all the time to
discover how they can best serve their GUS
toners as we'll as themselves, and long
experience has shown that the present sys-
tenn of pooling is the best method of secur-
ing regularity of rates that has ever been
adopted. The long-and-short haul pro-
visions of the bill will prohibit railroads
from doing wholesale business, and ship
pers at competing points will have the
advantage of competition. Take a farmer,
for example, who has his crop to ship to
market If he lives four miles from one
road and eight miles from another. he will
haul his produce the longer distance if the
railroad there will carry it at less than half
the price that will be charged by the road
that is nearer Under the bill the road will
be compelled to charged him a proportion
ate rate for the longer distances. The road
will not suffer, but the producer and con-
sumner will; for one gets less for his pro-
duct and the latter will be compelled to
pay more. If the investment of money in
railroads is legitimate, men who are en-
gagged in railroads should be allowed to
control their property, just as much as if
they had invested it in whisky mill
instead

WHITE GARDENERS STARVING OUT.-The
Oroville Register says that during the pres
ent season so many of the families, hotels
and restaurants in the town have patron
lied Chinese vegetable peddlers, that Joe
Gardella tells us that he has not made ex-
penses. Besides his own family, Gardella
employed six white men during the year.
These men buy their supplies here, and our
business men reap benefit from their
presence in our midst" If all the white
people living in Oroville bought their vege-
tables from white men, it would create a
little colony of thirty or forty vegetable
growers, whereas now they are forcing out

the strikers. Whatever cause of COM
plant they may have they do not own the
public streets, nor have they franchise to
intimidate men in the prosecution of law
full business, or citizens in the distribution
of their patronage. The country has had
enough and too much of that sort of thing,
and the sooner there is an utter end of at
tempts in that direction the better for
those who are disposed to adopt brow
beating and coerciye methods. The work
ingmen cannot more injure any cause Of
labor they would promote than to attempt
to force the American people to their way
of thinking. The speediest of all methods
to remove public sympathy afar of, is to
endeayor to coerce ii, and by force and
menace to command it.

An Old Ice Palace.

Montreal and ST. Paul brag of their
ice palaces in a way to convey the be-
lief that the idea originated with them,
but it is quite an old idea, originating
in the brain OF Empress Anne of Rus
sia, who reigned from 1870 to TAO.
A noble OF her court, Prince Galitzin,
changed his religion and was punished
by being made court buffoon and page.
He was commanded to marry, Che
Queen offering to defray all expenses.
He did so, selecting q peas6nt girlfor
the "honor." The Queen ordered a
house to be built of blocks of ice with
all the furniture, even the bed, also of
ice. She ordered grand parade after
which the bridal pair were taken to
the ice palace, put inside, and guards
placed at the entrance to pre- vent their
leaving it, and they were obliged to
spend the bridal night in the house of
ice. Instead OF making things "too
hot" for him, she made it too cold and
tried to freeze him out. Ice palaces
now, however, are built to give pleas
ure to all who wish to have it, and
are simply wonderful in their magnif-
cence, notably the one in St. Paul,
eand are not built to humor the whims
and freaks OF a senseless despot.

Dangers to Health.
rom the st. Louis Globe-Demo crat.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
; The months OF February, March
and April are, in some respects. more
dangerous to health than others OF
the year, for the constitutions of even
healthy people are somewhat en-
feebled by the lessened amor of out
door exercise during the period OF Sc
we're cold, and debility means increased
liability to disease. Proper care of
health is, therefore, more important
at this than at other seasons, for q
cold is easily contracted in the spring,
and 8 cold may be the precursor OF
any one of a dozen diseases. Ex-
posures that at other seasons would
be harmless, in the spring sometimes
prove fatal, and it accordingly be-
hooves everybody when the SHOWS are
disappearing and the rains begin, to
look after his health. The Chinese
reverse our medical customs, and,
with sound good sense, pay their doc
tors for keeping them we'll, the salary.
OF the medical man stopping the day
his patron goes to bed and beginning
again only WREN the sick man is able
to attend to business. 1t were we'll it
we, who make it the interest of the doc
tors to keep us in bed, should general
ly adopt some such custom as that of
the Chinese, and take more pains to
keep we'll than to get we'll when pros:
trated by illness. Much doctoring is
to be deplored, bat an occasional
overhauling of the system by a physi-
clan is advisable no matter how ax-
cellent the health, and there is no
time when this can be done to better
advantage than in the Spring.

A Young RascaPS Trick.

The mean trick by which a rascally
young brother brought pain to two
loving hearts is thus described by the
San Francisco Post:
They were gradually working to-
ward a copnrtnership on the usual
arrangement-the woman to look after
the Office and the man to do the out
door work. He was going to take her
to the theatre. She was decked out
most handsomely and her lovely
scent-bottle lay tempting a young
brother, who was looking about for
mischief. He picked it up and dis
appeared with it. Then he carefully
poured out the fragrant perfume and
filled it'with whisky. Then the happy
couple departed, and Mephisto, Jr.,
chuckled to himself with fiendish glee.
They sat entranced in one another,
fondly believing they were enjoying
the ballet. He, in kind of dream
reached over and took her scent-bottle.
She let it 60: He unscrewed the top
and took a long snuff. His dream
was dispelled. He did not say q word
The love died from his eyes, from his
heart, and she did not find out till she
had gone to her room fearful and sad,
what had caused the change. She has
told him since her young brothers
joke. He smiles sadly. He believes
her. But the smeR OF that whisky
comes between him and her.

Amazing Extravaganza.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The extravaganza of rich Americans
is incredible. Cleopatra dissolving a
pearl in her morning draught, and Lu-
cullus dining on the brains ofpeacocks
and tongues Of nightingales are faint
suggestions OF the luxury of American
millionaires.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Morgan,
wealthy railroad contractor, mar
rled a school teacher. In 1876 he died,
leaving her five million dollars in her
own right. A few months ago she died
and the coming sale OF her diamonds,
bric-a-brac and paintings, has put COS
sips on her tracks. The disclosures
are astounding.
She spent 100000 for her collec-
ton OF orchids, flowers that bid fair
to revive the tulip mania of Holland.
Her conservatory Of these ugly but
fashionable plants brought only $1O,-
600; so that it cost her $4,000 net
and interest to own them a few months.
She has one vase for which she paid
$4,000. 1t is less than a foot high
and is known as the 'peach blow
vase. 1t was made in 1924 in China
and the delicate beauty OF it's tint has
never been reproduced and perhaps
never will be. She paid 100000 for q
single picture, 81 ,995 900 for her col
lection of24O paintings. The Tiffanys
made her a solid silver candelebrn at
a cost of $24, 900, and her bathroom
cost $4,000. She had over 5000
plates, one set OF which, made at Sew
eres, cost $4,000 a dozen. One single
diamond in her collection ofjewels cost
$4,000.
These figures are staggering. Moth.
ing IN the most proAigate at Rome,
nothing in Venice, in Paris, or in Lon.
don surpasses them. Not even the
ination of Dumas in depicting
Monte Christie, or of Gautier in de
scribing one of Cleopatra S nights can
outstrip the actual accomplishments
OF this New England school mistress
A swift and amazing evolution is this
lavish spendthrift from Puritan all
cestors, who forbid the wearing Of
gold brooches, and considered cherry
colored ribbon an abomination in the
sight of the Lord. Where will this
evolution end?

Strange and Romantic History.

Strange and Romantic History.
New York World. ~ ~
0 On June %, 1s49, Capt. Poulett,
nephew and heir presumpt1ve OF the
earl OF Poulett, fell in love with Eliza.
beth Newman of Portsea, England, a
young girl OF stainless reputation and
respectable, though not ar,stocratic
parentage, the attachment eventually
resulting in their marriage. Naturally
young Poulett's proud relatives did
not look with favor upon this mingling
of the blue blood of the ancient Pou-
let's with the comparatively pIebeian
blood OF the Newmans, and he was
given the cold shoulder by all. But
the captain was stubbornly Indifferent,
happy in the possession OF q good and
beautiful wife. Eventually O. son was
born to the happy couple and was
christened William Tournon Thomas
Poulett. But it was written that
change should come over the young
wite's dream ofhappiness, and, as time
wore on, Viscount Hinton's affection
for his pretty helpmate began to cool
and, pleading his uncle's displeasure
and their future prospects at stake,
he eventually begged her to agree TO a
separation, and after many painful
scenes, tears and eutreaties, during
which Elizabeth's gentle heart was
gradually breaking, the separation
was agreed upon and the discarded
countess retired to pine downward to
the grave, receiving asmall annuity to
support her. Before her death Wis
count Hinton, who had succeeded his
uncle to the titles and estates June
20, 1854, was entreated by his broken
hearted wife to take their child and
allow him to hold the rank which was
his by all sacred and legal rights; but
the earl OF Poulett was not the "Capt.
Poulett' who had loved her we'll
enoug h to brave thescorn of the world
OF society in which he moved. Thus
her appeals were treated with lofty
neglect. The son did not inherit the
meek spirit OF his mother. He became
wild and restless, spent his money in
frivolity and finally became a clown
at the Surrey theatre. 1t is now ru-
mored that other claimants to the
title OF Viscount Hinton have appear
ed upon the scene to dispute the ident-
lty OF Elizabeth's wild son. The earl
OF Poulett, Elizabeth Newman's hus-
band, is said to have had q mistress,
whom he married after the death Of
his wife, and by whom he had IL son.
the result being that "aristocratic
England" is likely to be treated to q
long and wearisome trial, for Eliza
beth's son is determined to assert his
rights to the title and estates OF this
earls of Poulett.
