The Statesmen of Parliament.

as strong n looking set of men as the
members of our house of representatives.

fer q number of years as correspondent
at Washington, but after seeing the upper
house in England l don't think I shall
ever venture again to say one word
against the senate of the United States.

good reason to be proud of it."-New Or

New Kind of Insurance Needed.

There's new kind of an insurance
association wanted, and I can't see why it
wouldn't be popular" remarked gentle
man, Hand that is, society to insure the
Identification of dead bodies. That of the
young girl at Railway and of the supposed
sporting man at Andalusia are cases in
point. For n small fee n society could
agree to insure Identification. This could
be done by marks on the body or the
clothing. Sometimes things are attended
to by others when we are too careless to
attend to them ourselves. The mark
need not be a name; number would do,
and the name could be known by refer
ring to the registered number. I'm not
just able to suggest practical plan,
though / am sure it wouldn't require
much study. The hint is worth consider
ing. g."-Philadelphia Call.

Tie President Las sent To- Con
gve-s = message Recommending i'g
izistion 20 prohibit the importation
OF swine from France ~ Germany.
II IS elaine. that contagious and IN
fictitious swine diseases are prevalent
IN both countries, but j, may be sus-
pected that the principal reason fer
prOhimt0ry legislation Is to rctal!at-
for the exclusion Of American pork.
particularly from France, where re
cent legislation uag been extremely y
exclusive IL IL character.
it Is not enough to prohibit the
importation OF something which IS
hardly imported al all Since France
has excluded cur pork, let Us see
what the cf1ec- would be II we should
exclude her products, such as vine
and oil and silks and other articles
which We import III great quantities.
France would soon cat humble pie #
such action were taken, aud would
be only too glad to make change IN
her laws
Abs, lute exclusion. and especially
of food products, IS almost unknown
at this time among civilized nations.
| Even where tue article comes into
direct competition with the home
product, the most that is done-is to
impose an import duty, thus leaving
! 10 the consumer the option of
whether he Will use the domestic or
the foreign product. Wine. which
we are commencing to pToduce to a
large extent, Is protected by duty;
| but it has never occurred in Con-
gress yet to prohibit the importation
OF French, or German, or Spanish
wine. Silk, too, has become Il lead
ing industry in some of the American
! States, but our women can still have
! French silk dresses, If they choose to
pay the duty on the silk. California
produses to day better olive oil than
Is imported from France or Italy,
6ut olive growers have never asked
that foreign olive oil be completely
excluded.
To bring France sharply to its
senses, Congress should authorize
the President 20 retaliate III such Il
may as to make the retaliation felt.
He should have authority, in case of
Frances excluding American food
products of any kind, pork or any
thing else, to refuse admission into
tho United States of any French pro-
duct OF every sort and kind. In the
year 1S8G-S7 our imports from
France amounted to over S6S, ,000,0 900,
and our exports to France something
over $55000,O00, thus showing an ap-
parent balance of trade in her favor
OF about S13,U0O,000. 1t may be
safely assumed that France will not
permit the American hog to disturb
a condition of things so favorable 10
her, and that if she Is seriously
threatened with stern and effective
retaliation, her preiutice against our
pork will rapidly disappear, and hos
tile legislation be repealed or greatly
modified.

Tho London Dog PeddIer.

There is no more familiar sight in out
door London than the dog peddler. Per
haps it is because we are fond of English
fashions that he has got to be SO common
here. Broadway, Fifth avenue and Four
teenth and Twenty-third streets are daily
populous in the way of bargains. 1t is
hardly safe to invest in this street stock, if
you arc not an expert, and expect good
and pure blood. Now and then, however,
the man who is wise in canine character
may pick up bargain. The peddlers
always begin at c top price and drop. An
offer must be very low one for them to
refuse it, and if their stock is honestly
come by their profits cannot be extraya-

that the president VIII promote one

There is growing impression
among republican members of the

sion grows out of efforts which south

THE JOINT LEASE.

NEw YORK, April 1.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says: THE Oregon
members of tho board of directors Of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company now refuse to ratlfy the
joint lease of their property TO the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
companies. They are DOW in this
city holding conferences with repre-
sentatives of the latter road, and are
persistent in their objections. The
fact that the Union Pacific, through
the Oregon Short Line, has now a
lease of the property does not seem
to lessen their apparent unwilling
ness to come any way under the
Northern Pacific control. The gen
tlemen constituting the delegation
now here are all from Portland, Or..
and it is therefore supposed that the
aminus OF their objection to the rati-
tication of the lease is that they fear
that the arrangements proposed
would result in undue advantage to
the city of Tacoma"

CROP PROSPECT IN CALIFORNIA.

SAN Francisco, April about
two weeks since tho Chronicle sent a
circular ofinquiry to different CORES
pondents residing i'll different county
seats of California, the object being
to secure as reliable report as
possible on the agricultural condi-
ton of the state. From replies re-
ceived quite an accurate idea of the
condition of wheat and barley, and
the acreage, is known. The replies
also show that while the farmer
moro than holds his own, the hortic-
culturist-that is the vineyardist and
the orchardist-is striding on very
rapidly. The erea in cereals is still
very large, but planting of vines and
fruit trees is being proceeded with at
a rate that is simply wonderful.
Even In such counties as Sutter,
where the wheat and barley have for
years been the staples, the average
devoted to orchard and vineyard is
rapidly becoming a feature of its
plains. In Santa Barbara, also while
barley still continues to receive much
the tillers of the soil now
ueVote almost equal attention to their
orange groves; and so it is through
out the entire state.

Of vintners and other tradespeople. Wine
sellers who give short measures of ordinaire,
bakers who put plaster of paris in their
loaves, grocers who introduce sand into their
moist sugar and ground coffee, milkmen who
are known TO patronize the pumps, and coal
sellers who supply their customers with states
and stones instead of the genuine article, are
to be punished severely on all future occa-
sions when they are found cheating Their
names, together with descriptions of their
offenses are to be posted up, not only on the
door or gates of mayors offices, town halls,
or other buildings of the kind, but also on the
doors of their own places of business, so that
