THE views of Governor Stanford upon
the cause of poverty elsewhere printed
will meet with the concurrence of most
people who have given the subject thought
Very different indeed are the causes he
assigns, from those mouthed by the George
ties, whose ideas Of progress appear to be
founded in envy of the successes of Others.
Senator Stanford is unquestionably correct
in attributing most of the want and misery
of the day to improvidence and intemper-
ance The age and the country afford men
such opportunities for comforts as were
never enjoyed by any other people in any
other time, and there never was less rea-
son and excuse for poverty. That the sue
cessful accumulation of means and the de-
velopment of wealth by one should cause
another to be improvident or incorporate.
is silly claim, and yet it is soberly ad-
vaneed by a school of sensational social
economists That development of wealth
alone should serve as an excuse for the
idleness and wastefulness and inability of
others, is equally as foolish an idea. There
is poverty and suffering in the land that is
deserving and not even preventable, but so
it has been from the beginning, and so it
will be to the end. 1t is in this direction,
to the relief of the worthy poor, that the
offices of true charity are devoted But
the assumption of the socialistic radicals,
that nothing short of an even division all
around will bring about equality and JUS
tice in possessions, is simple nonsense and
rot. If all the worlds goods were evenly
partitioned tomorrow among all men, be-
fore Saturday night the thrifty, provident
wise and industrious would absorb all the
misery did not retain, and the old condi-
ton of things would be restored

THE charge is made that a ring exists in
San Francisco for the smuggling in of
opium, and that white men and not Chi
nese constitute the ring; that they have
successfully operated by use of yacht in
meeting incoming ships from China out
side the Heads" receiving the contra
band opium, and running for north or
south obscure landings, where there are no
customs officers to interfere. 1t is alleged
that deputy inspector is one of the ring,
his task being the light one of closing his
eyes to what goes in San Francisco harbor.
Collector Hager is reported also as admit
ting that he knows there is an opium ring,
and the Assistant United States District
Attorney makes the same statement. The
men alleged to be guilty of forming the
smuggling syndicate are ex-Sheriff Con-
molly, ex-Assessor Holtz, Customs In
spector Fogarty, and man named Whal-
ley. All these parties, on being inter-
viewed, deny their guilt emphatically, and
say that they do not even have a passing
acquaintance with each other, while one of
them has been confined to his house for
two months by serious illness. On the
other hand, men who claim to speak BY
the book insist that the ring exists, and
has been actively at york to date, and that
not only one but three yachts are now
used to intercept the steamers and
ships and take off the opium. To
add color to the complexion of the rumors,
one newspaper reports the United States
District Attorneys assistant as saying that
only newspaper revelation prevented the
criminals being seized, but by untimely
press chatter the guilty parties were
warned AMI the evidences TO convict them

QOlEI, hEIlklNG, SENSITIVE
Man. He spoke but little, but always to
the purpose. He was deliberate in iudg-
ment and firm in resolves. Occasionally
he was led by all his responsibilities and
the hundreds looking to him for direction
into some heat, as if he was wearied with
the struggle, but these manifestations were
infrequent and but momentary Censure
deserved, however, he applied vigorously
and seldom had occasion to withdraw it.
He was affectionate, loved his home and
domestic comforts, but his tireless energy
and devotion to business drew him con-
stantly from the rest of home he SO much
needed. He was man of clean habits,
upright life, wronging and detrauding
none, dealing fairly and squarely with his
fellows and winning the esteem of his
neighbors and the respect of the people of
this city and wherever he was known, and
that is to say throughout tine State wher-
ever railroad track is laid. His loss is
one deeply felt. as is evidenced by the fact
that the City Trustees adjourn their
meeting in respect TO his memory
and the Board of Trade requests that all
business be suspended to-day during the
hours of his funeral. Work will not be
prosecuted at the railroad shops to-day, and
flags will fly at half-mast in all quarters.
Locomotives traverse the lines draped in
Grape and emblems of sorrow, and rail-
road works bear mourning trappings. Yes
terday at the railroad shops the men, on
being called upon by some of their fellows
for contributions for floral funeral offer
ings, needed no second word, but fairly
crowded each other in mournful solicitude
to be first to contribute. The offerings,
it is understood, will be of the most
elaborate character. Among others there
is to be floral driving-wheel, floral loco
motive. floral hydraulic riveting machine
and floral steam hammer.

The Georgetown Gazette ssys: THE
large number OF people who are visiting
the Georgetown divide is evidence that this
section is becoming quite popular as a
summer resort. Besides the many stran-
gers who are coming to spend few weeks
or months in our pure air, there are new
corners who are securing land here and
making permanent homes. Quite num-
Der have put out orchards from eight to
twenty miles above Georgetown. People
who like to spend a few weeks in the
mountains during the summer should
visit the divide. There are good accom-
modadons for those who wish 10 secure
board and lodging, while for camping par
ties there is no plessanter place. The fish
and game which is abundant, the fresh
milk aud butter that can be had from the
many dairies, the beautiful scenery and the
pure air and water all add much to the
pleasure of mountain life. The waters of
the various mineral springs are very health
ful and many persons are benefited bv
their use every season.

A Novel Cooling Machine.

When T. H. Goodman, General Passen-
ger and Ticket Agent of the Southern Pa
cihc Company, was in Chicago recently, be
was shown an invention intended to keep
passenger cars cool during warm weather
1t was u circular, fan-shaped machine,
small, and consisting of four wings. The
motive power to revolve it is to be cleo
tricity.
Mr. Goodman saw one of the machines
in operation in the Office of the General
Superintendent of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. The room was quite large, and
the machine was connected with small
dynamo. 1t revolved with great rapidity,
and kept the place cool on one of Chicago
hottest days.
The plan by which it is proposed to
utilize this invention is this Three OF
them are to be placed in the top or ceiling
of the car. one in the center of the car and
the other two at each end. They will be
connected by wire with dynamo placed
in the baggage car. Electricity will be
generated from the steam supply of the
boiler of the locomotive, and the same
dynamo that runs the fans will also fur
nish electricity to light the train.
Mr.. Goodman thinks that it is very
probable that the Pullman Company will
adopt the machine for use in its sleeping
cars, and that later on il will come into
general use on passenger coaches.-S. 4

The Destructive White scale.

\. II. Brackenfeld, of Los Angeles, has
Just been attending the meeting of the
Microscopical Society at San Francisco. He
inquired of Professor Z. J. Wickson
whether anything had been done toward
finding the parasitic insect that makes 9
living by killing the scale bug. Mr.. Wick
son replied that parasite If that kind had
been received from Australia but the at
tempt to propagate il III Los Angeles had
failed. The State Inspector was, however,
nursing some specimens of the parasite on
! a scaly orange tree. He said further that

gress had been made toward its extirpation

1t was found that parasite in the shape

the fly have been found in the body of one
