THE collapsed booms of southern Cali
fornia spread blanket of bankruptcy
over the country. A financial drought
has parched the country to the core,
and various catchy schemes are afloat
to gather the wherewith. San Diego
proposes 10 weather the gale by divid-
ing one thousand acres into city lots and
leasing them for ninety-nine years at a
rental of twenty-five dollars per annum.
This is departure from wind to sub
stance. Heretofore the climate was
the chief article of trade.

THOSE alarmists in Europe who
thought that the car Of Russia was
only waiting for the establishment of a
strong government in France in order
to make an alliance with that country
which would involve all Europe in war,
will be surprised at the victory of
French republicans. The triumph OF
that party is a guaranty Of peace and a
further indication that the best states
men of the country desire to build up
Its industries and commerce and let war

THE fire underwriters of Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska who recently

until direct water pressure is used
and the city puts in an electric fire

Kaw with all its brsg and buster ought
to be able to raise money enough to

Mr.. BRACKETT, the republican can
didate for governor of Massachusetts,
has been boycotted by the Massachu-
setts branch of the British-American
association, which is composed of natur-
allied Englishmen. The offense charged
against Mr.. Bracket is that he sent a
"regret" to a Queen Victoria jubilee
banquet last year and shortly afterwards
addressed a land league meeting. An
interference of this sort on the part of
any naturalized class OF citizens should
be rebuked, and it doubtless will be in
the present instance.

THE RepuJlican clings to the fatal ruts
which led 1t to receivers and ruin on
former occasions. 1t is a conspicuous
example OF the blind folly which heeds
not the lessons Of the past. Two years
ago it rebelled against a non partisan
judiciary and repudiated the men en-
dorsed by the bar OF the district. The
republican convention obeyed its be-
hests and nominated separate ticket.
What was the resultp The voters of
the district repudiated the repudiators
and elected the bar nominees by major
ities ranging from two 10 four thou
sand. A similar emphatic rebuke
awaits the political manipulators II they
attempt To use the bench as reward
for party activity.

The Public Land Policy.

WASHINGTON. Z. c., January s.
The house committee on public lands took
action on senate bill relating to the public
lands by means of which it is hoped to Sc
cure legislation at this session of congress
that will greatly modify the public land
policy of the government. The house
passed during the last session a bill repeal
ing the preemption and timber culture, and
otherwise amending the land laws; but no
action has been taken on the measure by
the senate. In order to facilitate the pas
aud bill, the house committee took up q
~ pa 'sed by the senate in December. pro-
viding that the public lands of the United
States, now subject to private entry, shall
be disposed of under the homestead laws
only after entry. After making numerous
amendments to the bill MIR. Holman vas in
structed to report it to the house and ask its
by the committee provides that the public
lands chiefly valuable for agriculture, now
subject to private entry shall be disposed of
under the homestead law only, and that the
preemption law shall be repealed. Persons
who have made presumption or homestead
entry Of land but have not perfected title
thereon are given the right to make another
homestead entry. Whenever a settler upon
the public domain is unable, on account of
destruction of crops, sickness or other una
voidable casualty to secure a support from
the land located upon, the local land officer
may grant a leave of absence from the
claim to the settler for not exceeding one
year. Homestead settlers who have made
entry to less than one quarter section of
land are given the privilege of making
another entry, the aggregate quantity under
the entries, however, not to exceed 16O acres.

Irrigation of Desert nds.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January g.
The secretary of the interior sent to COZ
gress a report from the director of the geo.
logical survey regarding the survey made
for the establishment of storage reservoirs
for the irrigation of desert lands. It will
be remembered that congress last year ap-
propriated $25O.0O0 for the preliminary in
veetigation of the surveys necessary and
this year the surveys were begun. The di-
rector's statement reviews all the work done
and goes into details regarding service in
the field in various states. Montana is the
only territory in the northwest interested in
this matter and there Mr.. E. NJ. Douglass,
of this city has charge of the work Of the
survey in Montana and has given close at
tention to the natural attributes which must
aid in the reclamation of desert lands. Sur
veys for irrigation purposes were begun
early in October at the headWaters of the
Columbia and one on tho Missouri river.
Some :, ZOO square miles were surveyed. Mr..
Douglas reports this as a region of perennial
streams and in which we're to be found
many eligible sites for storage reservoirs.
Tho director thinks that he should have
$3.50 900 for tho continuation Of next years
investigation.

Trade and Ffnanco-


NEW YORK, January 6.-R. G. Dun 4 Co,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
A hopeful feeling prevails. In spite O,
retarding influences reports of the condition
of business are generally favorable. The
growth of manufacturing at many western
points is noticeable feature ana especially
in the gas regions, at points in northern
Illinois and Iowa. Merchants generally
reckon upon large increase in the amount
of business over last year. The tardiress of
collections is due in certain sections to short
or late crops; to yellow fever; to mild
weather: or to retarded distribution O. mar.
keting, is a matter of general complaint.
At many cities the record of building shows
surprising increase and especially at the
west.
The merchandise exports for the past
month from New York have exceeded those
of the previous year 1.6 Per cent, against an
increase of 2.5 per cent in imports. which
would indicate an excess of S20,O)O, 900 in ex-
ports over imports for the month.
The annual statement of failures, show
ing that 1863 firms, or a triie more than
one 10 100, went into bankruptcy in 1888, is
on the whole especially encouraging. be-
cause the average liabilities were only SILL
595 for the year aud $lO,73S for the last
quarter. This indicates that q remarkably
large proportion of the failures reported was
of firms doing a small business.

THE 90" Strike.

For tho First Time Both Parties Admit
That 1t is Practically Settled.
CHICAGO, January 5.-For the first time
the 20" strike is admitted by both parties to
the controversy to be practically settled.
The conference between the officers of the
road and the committee of nine resulted in
an amicable agreement on nearly all of the
points at issue. The only hitch was one of
the minor demands of the committee which
the officials did not feel justified in granting
without first consulting with President Per-
kins and the directors of the company in
Boston.
The committee of engineers is composed
of A. R. Cavener, of the Southern Pacific;
w. C. Hayes, of the Minneapolis & st. Louis;
A. w. Per We, OF the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company; Thomas Hollinrakes
Grand Trunk Railway, of Canada; Thoma,
Humphrey, of the Hooking Valley; A: W.
Logan, of the Erie; I. w. Bellows, of the
Memphis, New Orleans q Texas; Edward
Kent, of the Erie; A. Lemaye, of the Chica-
go i Northwestern. In addition to these the
fremen were represented by j. E. Dixon,
of Baraboo, Wis, and A. Mooney, of st.
Joseph, Mo.
The Burlington company was represented
by First Vice. President Beasley, Second
Vice President Stone, General Manager
Burlington and Missouri river and several
subordinate officers. They were in session
several hours when they encountered an OBJ
stacle in the raisiog of point which the
Burlington people had overlooked, and were
not prepared to meet without further advices
from the eastern headquarters. twas then
decided to adjourn. The faces of the COM
mittee Of the Burlington officials we're
wreathed in smiles when they parted.
Vice President Stone and Chairman Cav
ener declined to give any of the details of
the meeting or the nature of any conclu-
siols.
The Times will say: SIT is understood by
the terms of the agreement the order will
be placed again upon the square footing of
not being blacklisted by all the roads in the
country. The Burlington itself will set the
example by giving the strikers employment
in preference to others when vacancies oc-
cur, and by burying completely out of sight
the hatchet which was dug up ten months
ago."
