at what stage in the game the ~ per

20 this puny, half-starved infant in

81 per thousand? Is it to the mills
which put on ~ for saving? Is it to
these same mills which exact ~ profit? ?
is it to the cheaply built tubs that
carry it to our harbor at IS? Is it to
the railroad which charges IS for a
twenty-mile haul? Or is it to the
local dealers who charge 81 for hand
ling the stuff and then add
$3.50 profits? Who is it in this
long, strong and irrefragable chain
OF extortion to whom the protection is
necessary? If the lumber business
were conducted on a basis Of fair
profits it is probable that we should
get at least 81 off the cost Of logs ;
another off the cost Of saving; still
another off the profits Of the mills /;
the cost Of shipping to this port
should not be above IS, giving us
a saving Of So; the railroad
could well reduce its charge from IS
to SO, saving ~ more; and then the
local dealers would probably survive
if they sold their lumber at profit OF
$5, thus reducing the cost to consum-
ers by 50, 30 more. The total saving tc
the poor man who builds his cottage

THE report is going the rounds that
Confederate General Joe E. John
son has been admitted into an en-
campment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic at Philadelphia. He may
have been admitted to the body in
question but it is against the rules of
the order and will not be allowed by
the Grand body of the order. BY the
amendment Of 1870 it is provided that
no person shall be eligible to member
ship who at any time has borne arms
against the United States and it is also
provided that there can be no hon.
orary membership in the Grand
Army. This does away with any pos
sibtlity of General Johnston becom-
ing member of the boys in blue.
The General is a loyal and staunch
citizen Of the Union. During the re-
bellion he was the war-horse of
Alabama but was one of the first at
the close of the war to accept the
issue. He told the writer in 1870
that he stood second to no man in his
loyalty to the Republic and had ac-
cepted the defeat of the South as final
and considered any return to the
dead issues as unwise.

The Democrats Of this section will
read the following letter from Mr..
Rose with mingled eurprise and re.
gret:
EDITORS HERALD: Will you kindly
publish in to-morrow's paper that,
owing to business complications, am
compelled to decline to be a candi-
date tor Congress.
Let me at the same time assure nov
friends that it is with much
regret that make this an
nouncement, and to disappoint
them hurts me more than ANYTHING
else. They have been very kind in
expressing fattering opinions about
my ability to accomplish some good
to some of our leading industries of
our State, and to justify their good
opinions would be the proudest event
OF long life. | owe them an apology
for not making this announcement
sooner, but the thought was such a
pleasant one that it has been hard to
put it aside, and it is only after hard
struggle that / give it up.
| shall ever cherish with the fond
est remembrance the high opinion of
myself entertained by my fellow
citizens, and you may be sure that
my heart flows out to you in gratitude
ana thanks. L, J. ROSE.

he has picked one thousand two hun
dred boxes of fruit from his trees,
which he sold for 81, 200. This is at
the rate Of nearly $50 per acre.
OF course only part of the trees hear,
as good portion of them are not yet
old enough to fruit. With good luck
ne will pick 1900 boxes Of fruit which
he will sell at $1,000 next year, and
his profits will go on increasing for
five years to come. The experiment
was made in the face of much dis
couragement, and tho working out of
successful result is of much inter-
est and importance to the section.
The trees in question are luxuriant in
foliage, bright and clean, free from
scale and other pests.

The high license law, which rec
emily went into effect in Philadelphia
has resulted in an outcome unlocked
for. The people of the Quaker City
felt overburdened by saloons, and
voted for high license So far the oper-
alton of the new law has been to re-
duce the number of saloons by more
than one-half; but the unexpected
part was that many of the saloons
which could not afford to take out a
high license converted their places
into milk and luncheon shops. And
more surprising, the proprietors find
they are doing a better business in
this way than they did in the liquor
trade. Will the Prohibitionists now
boom the bread and milk business

THE word blizzard" is not an
American coinage. 30 says Mr.. Ash
by-Sterry of London, and shows that
this expressive word has long been in
Nuttall's Standard Dictionary with its
proper definition, "a sudden, violent,
cold snowstorm." But queer word
maker where any thing is absolutely
disastrous and disagreeable speaks
Of it a" "blizzardous." This is strong
sounding adjective that will probably
become popular. Mr.. Sterry thinks
that it is a mistake to call such ex-
pressions Slang" 1t is true that
slang very often arises by the adoption
of technical terms in general conversa-
ton, and what is the slang of one gen.
Grafton not infrequently becomes the
refined language Of the next. But
billiards belong to the East and not
to South California.

EUCALYPTUS trees are one of the
most profitable crops which can be
grown in this section. We all know
what giant one of these gum trees
ten years old is. A grove of such
trees will readily turn off three hun
dred cords to the acre Will fire wood
ever be less than $40 cord? Here
then is $4,000 per acre, or at the rate
OF $500 per annum. Remember the
cost is all in the first year of planting,
aud the last year of cutting. The
other eight years we just wait and see
them grow.

Editor Eapress-One view of the
all-absorbing question OF the day !
here present. The great function of
capital is to pay labor. Hence, one
of the absurdities OF Anarchists de-
stroying capital and capitalists in
order to benefit themselves. For ex-
ample, take the capital (the wage
fund.- of country at 81 900 900, and
the laborers at 1000, 900. The coun-,
try is protective and self-supporting.
Thus each laborer receives 81. A new
government is elected, and determines
upon free trade policy. 1t allows
foreign commodities free entry. These
have to be paid for out OF existing
capital. Consequently, although there
are the same number OF laborers,
there is smaller amount of capital
from which to pay them. Thus the
laborer in competition with foreign
made manufacturers must receive
smaller wage. Suppose this to go on.
year after year, what wages will the
laborer receive, say in ten years
time? How much capital will be left
in the country in ten years? An an
bWeT lIOfl bIie HERALD Will ODllkcs
Yours truly,
ANGLo-AMERICAN.
Pasadena, May IL, 1888.
The conundrum propounded by this
intelligent correspondent of our es-
teemed contemporary is not hard
one. 1t is quite sufficient to call at
tention to the fact that it is tissue OF
bold assumption with not jot Of
proof to back it. The country is
quite prosperous; but it was more so
before the present era of unjust pro-
tective tariff. In the anti-bellum
days, we did not know what strikes or
bread-riots were. The proposition is
not to elect new Government,
but to keep the one in
power, which for four years has made
the country more prosperous than it
had been for ten years before. 1t does
not allow foreign commodities to enter
free, as rule. No system of Govern
ment can afford to tax all our imports.
We do not propose to admit them all
free; nor could we SO admit them if
we would. The Mills tariff bill aims
simply to reduce the revenue to the
fair needs of the Government hon
estly administered. The Republi-
can party four years ago pro-
nounced in favor of some meas
ure which would reach this end.
AS a matter Of fact, the Mills bill is
in the main fair, conservative effort
to do this. We do not approve OF all
its features, but on the whole we do
not see any serious objection to most
of its provisions. That it will inter
fere disastrously with the industries
OF this country is proposition which
no fair logic will establish, and which
experience will disprove. 1t will in
many lines stimulate our enterprises
to greater activity and directly tend
to raise wages.

1.-The city which had by far the greatest rate of suicide" continued Dr. Nagle, twas Gera, in Germany, which presented the enormous rate of 9201 per 100000 inhab- ltants, or pretty nearly one man in a thou sand. I received no information to account for this. Neither do I understand why the rate of suicide in San Francisco, in our country, is so large. The low rate in Scot land is remarkable.
 "Writers have claimed that there have been spidemics of suicide in foreign coun- tries, but l have never been able to find any trace of such a thing in this city. A table of the proportion of the suicidal deaths to the total population of the city since 1904 shows that the rate rises or falls year by year in accordance with laws, which we do not yet understand. The highest rate of suicide we have ever had was in 1895, when there was 1 suicide to every 3,O17 inhabitants. This rate gradual ly lowered until 1912, when there was 1 suicide in every 20,967 inhabitants. Tho very next year came a fearful drop to 1 suicide ir every 9,507 of the population. The lowest proportionate number of sui cides was in 1864, when there was 1 suicide to 23,S27 people. In 1874, right after the great financial panic, the suicides were more in number than at any time for forty years--1 in every 5,515 people.
