wisdom Of the Star, the case Of Cutting and
that Of Field against Bennett rest on entirely
different grounds. We complain of Mexico,
in the Cutting case, that she seeks to punish
an American citizen for an act done in the
United States. The case of Field against
Bennett is that of private citizen suing for
damages, not for the publication of libel in

CAKES EXPLANATION.

A private telegram from St. Paul, Of
June 20, gives Cakes explanation. 1t
is as follows: 81 am very glad to find
the people of Walla Walla are alive to
the situation in Washington Territory.
A forfeiture Of the lands accorded to the
Cascade branch this time would be a
great public misfortune to all parts Of
Washington Territory. The railroad
company would be forced to at least sus-
pend construction operation, and fear
year or more would intervene before
we could perfect new financial scheme.
The chief difficulty consists of the fact
that no bonds can DO issued under the
mortgage, except upon the acceptance,
by the President, of completed twenty,
five mile sections of the line and, of
course, if lands are forfeited the Presi-
dent will decline TO continue his accep.
tances. Please convey my thanks to all
our friends for their timely and intelligent
action in our behalf. T. f CAKES.

THE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT.

This week the new city government
is to organize and considerable .olici,ude
is manifested to know what will be the
policy that it will attempt to inau -urate
and carry forward. No particular change
is expected, as but one member OF tn.
council, the mayor, has been changed,
who will be in the dcliber-
alton of body. Unless from the
experience and observation Of the men,
bers of that body, they are convinced
that a more aggressive policy Of govern.
ment is demanded by the people and a
greater degree of protection should be
thrown around the Interests of the city,
which can be induced by our city legis-
lature, or by abolishing some that is
dead letter upon the statutes Of the city,
OF BY giving some vitality to such ordin-
ances that are in themselves good and
giving to them force and effect when
needed. There seems to be a. general
feeling that if we are to have a city
government, it should not be tame and
imperative, but prominent, and bold, and
fair, and just to all classes as we'll as firm,
such as to command attention and re-
spect Of all the better elements of our
society. 1t should not be the aim of
our city government to pander to the
lower element in our society to the neg.
lect Of the better element. 1t should
aim to be progressive in all those matters,
that will add strength and beauty and
utility to our city and make US a town
Of strength, not only at home but abroad
where we are known. We shall watch
with much interest the policy of the new
city government and may have an oc-
casional allusion to what they are doing
and their wisdom and efficiency.

A SPECIMEN FRUIT TREE.-Six
hundred dollars seems to be large price
for one cherry tree, but that was the sum
paid for one in this county. 1t was re-
quired to be removed to make way for
the New Almaden Railroad, the owner
demanded $500 for it, experts were
appointed and it was proved that the
tree had for years yielded the owner
crops Of fruit which sold for sums
equivalent to the interest en- the amount
claimed BY compromise 5000 was
accepted for the tree. This will give our
eastern friends some idea of the value of
fruit trees and the profit derived from
them in the Santa Clara mlley.-San

The hitch in the annexation question
ID the Senate seems to be the indisposi-
ton Of the Senate committee to report the
bill for action. Opponents of the
measure in South Idaho, boosted that if
there was danger Of a majority of the
senators fsvoring the bill, they would
stock the bill in the committee and keep
back report till after adjournment and
kill the bill in that way. 1t is suggested
that son Of a member Of that COM
mittec, located in Montana, is in that
interest. Time will develope.
