EVERYDAY TALKS ON THE TARIFF
How the MILLS BAH COrrects Some o
the Minor Hard ships of the Tariff.

How the MILLS Bali COrrectS Some OF
the Minor Hardships of the Tariff.
A correspondent makes some good
points on the injustice of some of the less
conspicuous tariff duties. He says:
A minor industry which is now pro-
tected to the deiriment of larger ones is
the production OF olive oil. The importa-
tions at New York were in 1887 26,473
gallons; dutiable value, $654, ,592; duty,
25, per cent, $163 GAS. About three
quarters of shis was used by manufactur.
ers of woolen and silk goods for washing
ing quarter for packing sardinea and
food. The owners of a few groves of
olive trees in Southern California trem-
BILE with fear that the duty may be abol-
ished upon the article, and will make
every effort to prevent it, although the
home product is so insignificant that it
is hardly known outside Of their State.
"Another is the manufacture of licorce
paste. We imported here in 1887 for
eign, $142 ,602, being 1,06S,l15 pounds;
duty, IL cents per pound, $50, l0363.
Ninety per cent. of this was used by
manufacturers of topacco, who are taxed
561s per cent. for the privilege of flavor
ing their product with Calabrian or
Spanish licorice. That the four or five
manufacturers here need no further Pre-
lection is self-evident from the fact that
some sell their paste for price about
equal to the duty paid on the imported
article.
Ten per cent is the duty upon insect
powders, probably so as not to interfere
too much with the home production OF
bed bugs. Incidentally we encourage the
propagation of Italian feas, now i'm
ported largely, to which the attention OF
protection to American industry is called.
We imported at New York in 1887 insect
powders, $l29, 7S3, duty $l2 ,9S6.30 In
sect powders are ground here by few
mills, who obtain their flowers free of
duty"
By the Mills bill olive oil, salad oil,
cottonseed oil, neat's-foot oil, seal oil
and whale oil, all of which at present
pay duty of 25 per cent, except cotton
seed oil, which pays over 80 per cent,
are admitted free. The tariff on licorice
paste is reduced to five cents pound.
The tariff of 10 per cent on insect pow
der, we believe, is retained.-[N York

Officer Auble, who was accused OF bat

guilty yesterday by Justice King.
Firmly convinced of the injustice of the
charge and the decision, the officer re-
fused to pay the five dollars and was
taken to the jail. His friends tried to
dissuade him and one of them, Deputy
Constable Harry Johnson, insisted on
putting up the money.

A Fortunate druggist.

Mr. Edwin W. joy for many years and now a
prosperous druggist on the corner of Stockton and
Market streets in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medicine kings
of the country. But various rumors having been
floating around TO tho effect that he has struck it
big, an Eraminer reporter was detailed to unearth
the cause, and after much difficulty upraYelled
the following story:
Itseems that about seven years ago an English
physician, great student Of botany, located for a
brief season i'll this city. His practice was not ex
tensive, and yet the few cases OF general nature
that came 10 him attracted little attention. His
greatest success seemed to be in tho treatment of
liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In
fact his ability to cope with these common COM
plants was little short of the marvellous. He
seemed almost infallible, and his quiet, modest
methods and his well kept secret was as much
mystery as himself After his departure about
year later Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret,
and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for
the erratic doctor he began systematic analysis.
In his examination he discovered running all
through the prescriptions for liver and kidney
troubles, vi,iated blood and stomach disorders
couple of vegetable extracts indigenous to Califor
MIA SO simple and SO well known under homely
every day names to every school boy as to entirely
dissipate The suspicion that they were the active
principles involved. So certain, however, was
Mr.. JOY that he had discovered the secret that he
embodied the new elements in a preparation of
Sarsaparilla to disguise he TASTE and putt before
his customers under tho modest name of joys
Vegetable Sarsapapilla. Immediately the SAME
marvellous stories came back of its astonishing
enectS, ana inc 1nyGiery was SolVeu, ana tne LalA
it has created has already caused it to step into
prominence. and orders pour in daily from all
over the coast. People seem TO be taking it and
writing and talking about it throughout the State.
And thus another California industry leaps into
existence.-S. = Examiner.

For some reason the conhrma-
ton Of Melville Y. Fuller As Chief
Justice Of the [. S. hangs fire,
Recent Correspondence between
that worthy functionary and Sena-
tor Edmunds would suggest that
Fuller is charged with helping him
self to certain Doodle mony in con
nection with one Of the Chicago
Parks. This, Mr.. Fuller is too in
dignant to deny but, prefers letting
his fellow citizens pass upon. Mr..
Fuller is simply paying the penalty
of greatness. If certain Of these
self righteous sneaks who are
bounding him were closely question
ed there is no doubt they hang
their heads and sneak away. Since
we are to have 4 democratic Chief
We prefer Fuller with any Doodle he
has captured to any rebel brigadier
with narrow prejudices.

Makes Good Use of His Own Re
volver, but the Lunatic Will Live.
SAN BERNARDINo, CAL, Dec. 1.-Two
strangers from Arizona entered the San
Bernardino National Bank this morning.
One Of them presented a check, and asked
that it be cashed. .E. II. Morse, the cashier,
told him that he would have to be iden-
titled
THE CASHIER SHOT.
Some words followed, when the stranger
drew revolver and shot Morse through
the body. The latter returned the fire and
put two bullets into his assailant. Six or
seven snots were fred in all The strangers
were arrested and lodged in Jail. 1t is b.
lleved that the men entered the bank with
the design of robbery.
CASHIER MORSE DEAD.
Cashier Morse died half an hour after
the shooting. The man who did the shoot
M gives the mans of John Oakes, but re-
fuses to talk. 1t Is said that a third man,
who has not yet been arrested. was seen
trying the side door OF the banE. while tho
shooting was going on. Cakes was shot in
the arm, ear and back, but it is believed
that his wounds are not serious.
PROBABLY INSANE.
SAN BERyARDINo, CAL, Dec. Is, Top
Ma later Investigation Of the tragedy in
the national bank here this morning. which
resulted in the death Of E. II. Morse, the
cashier, shows that John Cakes. who did the
S. ooting, is probably insane. He.had called
twice at the bank to have check cashed
but had been told each time that Identified
ton was necessary. He grew angry, and
began shooting. His companiol was a
deputy sheriff, from Arizona. but there is
no reason to believe that the latter had
ANYTHING to do with the shooting. Cakes
was recently discharged from the Nevada
insane ASYLUM.
