Pomona Grange met at Swan Pond
Saturday, May 26th. A very appro-
pirate address to Pomona by Mr.. z.
s. Vanmetre was responded to by Mr..
G. o. Sperow. After the dispatch of
considerable amount ofroutine bus
mess recess was taken, during which
the ladies prepared a most sumptu-
GUS collation., and proved themselves
adopts in the way of ministering to
the wants of the inner man, which it
is useless to say was highly enjoyed
by the Changers. Work was resumed
at O'Clock p, NJ, and thirty-five new
members were installed and received
the fifth degree. A very fine address
was delivered by Mr.. HI. M. Turner
on the Order system, and benefits of
the Grange. A list of practical ques-
lions and suggestions was also submit
ted by Mr.. Alex. Clohan. The agri-
cultural works and statistics presented
to the Changers of Berkeley County
by Senator Faulkner were unanimous
ly voted to Tuscarora Lodge. A vote
was then taken as to where the Pomo-
ma Grange should be permanently To-
Gated, and Cherry Grove Lodge was
selected.

DTVJSIOy OF CALIFORNIA.

A movement for the division of Cali
fornia into two states was inaugurated
recently at Los Angeles, and steps were
taken to agitate the question throughout
the state. 1t seems to be sectional !,
rather than a political movement, as
neither party would derive certain
benefit by division. The question has
been raised by the opponents of the idea
as to the right of a state to multiply
itself. The only precedent for such a
course is in the case of West Virginia,
which was segregated from the parent
state at a time when partisan demands
were more highly considered than the
constitution. The question is novel and
important, and in the event the success
of the California movement should de-
mand congressional action the issue might
have far-reaching effect upon the his
tory of the republic.

settled-The State Portfolio.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

SlnClnHdli Enquirer.
a special correspondent of the Enqui-
rer, now in New York city, has learned
from an authority that cannot be ques-
tioned' that Mr.. Blaine has been offered
and has accepted the position of secretary
of state in President Harrison IS cabinet
That such offer would be made is hardly
in the nature of news. 1t was
the inevitable logic of events
the only reasonable outcome of the
situation. The Republican gathering
at Chicago was e-eminently a Blaine
convention. Prevented by his firm re-
fusal from nominating Mr.. Blaine him
self, it resulted that Mr.. Blaine s friends
nominated friend of Mr.. Blaine. They
placed him upon a Blaine platform They
fought the campaign upon issues which
Mr.. Blaine had most contributed to max
ing prominent. And their chief spokes-
man and leader throughout the battle was
none other than Blaine.
1t followed, of necessity, that the
Maine statesman should be rendered the
chief pOsition-the so-called premier
ship-of the new cabinet; and
the only point of doubt was as
to his acceptance. Now that all this is
definitely settled, there remains the task
of securing the other secretaries. VIII it
be distinctively Blaine cabinet, or will
there be an effort to conciIiate and unite
all factions? Possibly something in the
latter direction, only with this saving,
to-wit: that no homogeneous and inhar-
monious elements will be injected. That
mistake is not likely to be made

mood. Mr.. Dillon made his fortune in
contracts for the construction of public
works and railroads. His greatest profit
was derived from the building of the
Union Pacific Railroad, of which he was

Senator Sherman says: "There is not
the slightest foundation for the story that
would refuse to accept a position in
President Harrison s cabinet because
would be succeeded by Governor Foraker.
The possibility of my seat in the senate
being occupied by Governor Foraker
will not weigh one hair in connection with
my going into the state department. -

Save the Gas.

If the waste of natural gas can be
checked or regulated it ought to be, and
done at once, too. 1t is possible that the
same processes which evolved the gas at
first may be kept going as steadily and
productivity now as they were d thou
sand or two thousand years ago, and
keep on at the same pace for the thou
sand years to come, till the belts burst
off Jupiter and the canals of Mars are as
dry as the old ditch ON Missouri street
But there is no certainty of that; no
probability, even, it may be, and
instead of drawing from a perennial
spring, taking the product of never
ending or resting factory we may be
slowly eXhausting the completed storage
of Il former period of productiveness
which will never be replaced. There are;
some indications that the latter is the
more likely of the two conditions to be,
now in the control of the gas fuel we arr
getting. If it be so, and in any case,
whether it be so or not, it is the part of
prudence to avoid waste, and some apt
legislation to that end is needed.

SENATOR CULLOM.

Senator Collum of Illinois has no Re-
publican contestant for his seat and will
probably be collected ON the first ballot at
the next session of the state legislature
He is best known to the country as one
of the authors of the law providing for an
interstate railway commission, which
was compromise between the bills of
Senator Cullom in the Senate and Con-
gressmen Reagan in the house. In the
ENGRAVING process the senate bill was
much more freely used than that of the
house, resulting in great modification
of the nature of the restrictions upon
railroads which the Reagan bill would
have established. Mr.. Cullom is
veteran Republican politician, having
served three terms in the lower house of
congress, two as governor of Illinois,
and one in the federal senate. To him
also belongs the distinction of having
placed Grant in nomination for the presi-
dency in 1872.

4 GOOD WORK.

Behold what little fire kindleth! One
year ago THE GAZETTE began an immi-
grafton agitation and a plea for low rail-
road excursion rates to Texas. Not all
was done in Texas that was hoped for,
and yet that interstate convention recently
held at Montgomery was direct outcome
of the agitation in Texas. And to-day
the newspapers of the whole Union are
noting the effort of the South in this di-
rection. The little fire started in Fort
Worth is blazing now to the benefit of all
the South and, therefore, of all the
Union. THE GAZETTE is proud of the re-
suits of the work suggested to it in a
conversation with John Howard on eX-
cursiOn rates to Texas. And yet there
be a few who think THE GAZETTE works
only for Fort Worth

SPECIAL NOTICES,


persons who enter this country are
punishable by fine and :imprisonment
and citizens who bring such persons
here are liable to the safne punishment
and if such persons are bryAght here they
will be sent back at the ex2s THE
transportation company that" Drought
them, if they are detected at any time
within two years of their arrival. A
provision for checking excessive immigra-
ton limits the number of persons which
any vessel may bring to the United States
to five for each 100 tons capacity of the
vessel. Thus a l000-tOn vessel can bring
only fifty immigrants. A fine not eX-
ceeding $500 is imposed for each passen-
ger in excess of this number.
One provision of the bill levies a tax Of
S25 upon every alien who comes to the
United States, the tax to be collected by
the collector of customs at the port of en-
try from the owner or master of the yes
sci bringing the immigrant. Agents of
foreign governments or persons travelling
for instruction or amusement are eX-
empted from the tax, and persons who
come for temporary residence with us
will have the tax refunded upon their de-
parture. 1t is presumed that any immi-
grant who can pay tax of $50 is not a
pauper.
Some such bill as this out to be passed,
and probably will be. 1t has been too
easy to get into this glorious land.

Restricting immigration.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE is making
war on the present laws in regard to the
sale of the lands controlled by the state
As usual, THE GAZETTE is just about
right. The land laws in question seem
to be specially adopted TO advance the
interests of land monopoly and to retard
the advancement of those who can only
buy small quantities of this earth The
law needs revision in the interest of the
homeless citizens of Texas and others
who may desire TO acquire homesteads i'll
this state. The acquisition of homes by
the hundreds of thousands of tenants in
Texas would be far better than the piling
up of a billion of dollars school and uni
versity funds at Austin. There is no use

The women OF Boston made an unfor-
tunate beginning in the exercise of the

part sectarianism could be made effective
by their votes: but the fact of their keen
interest i'll the schools is altogether
praisewOrthy and encouraging. The
voting was quiet and orderly and the fe-
male electiOneering fervid but not boIs-
ferrous. 1t is noticeable that in an cleo
ton turning solely on municipal consid-
erations, to which the participation of
