answered, the prisoners are searched and
their valuables, If they have any, taken from
them and put in the safe, where they are
kept until their release, when they receive
them again; then suits of prison clothing,
black and white striped for the men and blue
for the women, are given to them and they
are taken to the bath houses There they
are bathed and afterward the men are
shaved and have their hair cut. The cloth
ing which they wore in, if worth saving, is
taken to the smoke house and fumigated
with sulphur, and then put away to be kept
until the prisoners are released. After being
cautioned by the keepers in reference to the

CALIFORNIA LETTER.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, October %, 1883.
To the LIGHT.
Since writing my last letter, moth
ing new or startling has been devel-
oped in this corner of Uncle Sans
dominions. The campaign is waxing
little warm, but everyone preserves
good humor and will be ready to
acquiesce when the final result is
reached, be it Harrison or Cleveland.
The present mayor, Hunsaker, is a
democrat, but the city is evidently re-
publican, though no test has been
made on strictly political issues.
This has been rather a trying year
on real estate men and especially
those who had loaded up, expecting
to realize profit on future sales. Co
ronado Beach property has depreciat-
ed at least fifty per cent. The COM
Dany is now offering to sell at one
half last years prices on five years
time at per cent, provided purchaS-
ers build a house equal to the lots so
purchased. Another addition to the
city offers to purchasers who bought
last year an additional lot free of cost
provided they will pay up on the lots
already sold. Others still will dis
count present Indebtedness consider
ably to those who are willing and able
to pay up. The railroads and excur-
sion agents are promising big
things for California after the
election is over, but whether
these excursionists, if they come.
put any money into California dust or
not, is another question. / fear last
years experience will suffice for some
time to come. suppose most men
who live here would censure me Sc
verely for telling the truth, but no.
body denies the fact that there were
thousands of wild cat schemes foisted
on visitors last year, and even legiti-
mate property went far beyond its
value, and the whole business got to
be regular gambling scheme Oh a
gigantic scale.
So far as material progress is con-
cerned, both San Diego and Los An
geles have held their own. In this
city quite number of very fine build
ings have been erected, and more are
to be put under way ut once, and
much has been done in street i'm
prOvements.
While at Los Angeles the
building boom has not ceased, streets
are being paved as fast as men
and money can do it. New street
railways are being built double track
on almost every thOrOughfare in the
city. There are very few vacant
houses for rent.
visited the Angel City about iwo
weeks ago, and consequently speak
from personal knowledge. 1t is true
that wages are not 50 high, and build
ing material is cheaper than last year,
but the buildings are more substantial
and really better and more imposing.
Los Angeles claims population of
about 50 900 whereas seven years ago
she had barely 10000.
The Mexican International COM
pany that started in to cOlOnize Lower
California has been in hot water all
this year aud the end is not yet
reached. Suits are being brought
almost every week against them for
failure to comply with their con tracts
and the cOlOnists are discontinued
aud many of them have abandoned
everv-hiig and left the country.

English capital and claim to have
done so. and that soon a railroad will

EXEMPT FROM EXECUTION.

The United States Supreme Court,
through Chief-Justice Fuller, has
rendered an opinion of unusual in
terest to holders of life insurance
policies. Thomas l.. Hume of the
District of Columbia died in 1881,
totally insOlvent, but leaving $685.
600 i'm life insurance policies. The
policies were by their terms payable
either to the widow or children of
the deceased. The administrators
and creditors of Hume sought to
force application of the proceeds of
the policies to the payment of the
debts due the creditors, on the
grounds that the premiums paid by
Hume were II fraudulent transfer of
an insolVent estate and void as
against creditors, and that conse-
quently the proceeds of the policies
should inureto the benefit of Hume's
estate and not to the beneficiaries
named IN the pOllcleS.
The Supreme Court holds that the
beneficiaries are entitled to the pro-
ceeds of all the policies without any
deduction whatever on account of
premiums paid, holding that hus-
band and father has full right to
insure his life in the interest of his
wife and children, and that where
such policies are effected in the
name Of the beneficiaries they are
no part of the estate of n deceased
insolvent and therefore cannot be
regarded as fraudulent assignment
of any part Of his estate when so
effected.

THE DRAM-sHOP QUESTION.

The st. Louis Republic has be-
come disgusted with the free saloon
rule, and has this to say upon that
topic:
Every property-hOlder and every
father of a family has a greater in
tererest in clearing st. Louis of its
dives than The EREPUBIC has. These
places are not only the most potent
agency of corruption in our politics
They corrupt society as well. They
take hold of the young men and
boys of the community, and the in
hucnce of both the home and the
common school fails against them.
only the impractical doctrinaire
expects that the time will overcome
when any system Of laws can be de-
vised to prevent intoXication and its
results Of degradation and crime.
The only community in which it
would be possible to enforce such
laws is the prison. In our peniten-
tiaries men are kept from drinking,
as they can be kept under prison
regimen. Nothing else will do it.
The community has no right to at
tempt to restrict liberty in any such
fashion to any such end, except
where liberty has been forfeited for
crime committed.
But while prohibition is both a
wrong and failure, the right is in
herent in every community to regu-
late whatever seriously threatens
evil, and to carry the regulation as
far as is consistent with liberty and
justice. The regulation Of the dram
shop, so that it can neither usurp the
control of government nor degener-
ate into Il place of Infamous char
acter, is the right and duty of every
community.
There may be differences Of Opin-
ION dDOul lut lllCul'S, II INEiU Is
Lie has proposed license Of $4,000
for cities as large as st. Louis, but it
has not made this proposition as
dogma. The license should be
neither for prohibition nor for rev.
enue, but for regulation. The end
to be attained is the fewest number
of dram-shops consistent with the
rights of the citizen to select his
own beverages. In order that this
end may be better attained. THE

PLAUSABLE ERRORS.
BY the governor:
GEO, W. Mcbride,
Secretary of state,

An error, periodically appearing
in papers which, in matters other
than mathematical, are reliable
authority, needs correcting for
the benefit of school children who
might otherwise be led astray, and
as 1t has recently found its way into
the columns of the Oregonian,
which on all other subjects is in-
hllible (?), we venture to call at
tention to its incorrectness. A
Chicago paper misinforms its readers
that there is no difference between "A
mile square and square mile.
About six weeks ago the Oregonian
mislnformed its readers that there
was no difference between II square
foot and foot square. Now the
fact Is that there is "a wide differ
ence between mile square and a
square mile and between a square
foot and foot square, and since, as
our esteemed cotemporary says,
the question is continually cropping
up, IL is as we'll TO settle Il correctly
once for all.
a square mile is $40 acres In any
shape, oblong, oval, circular or any
other however irregular shape.
A mile square is n rectangle the
four sides OF which arc each so
chains long. Semble:
A square foot is la inches In any
shape, but "a foot square is "A square
Of l2Xl2 inches.
The confusion arises from ignor-
ing the differing sense of the word
square" used rs a noun TO express
n definite mathematical shape, and
the word "square" used as an
adjective toexpress superficial meas
ure. There are three measurements
OF dimension, liueal, or running
measure, superficial, or sQuare
measure, solid, or cubical measure.
And the word "squaN Ia the
phrase square FOOT means super
fetal foot and applies TO any SUI
perhcies containing IA inches. But
in the phrase foot square, the
word square is used as noun as
aforesaid.
