their true interest. The proper attitude
towards Socialism is, therefore, to re,

1--WE are at the dawn of new period

unite in an effort to solve the social
problem without bloodshed.
"The Socialists deprecate violence
they are in some sense like the Quakers
opposed to rebellion, war, or bloody
conflicts Of any sort. Their weapons
are agitation, organization, education.
They believe that in the fulness Of time
the logic Of events will imperatively
demand a change from the present social
anarchy to true social order"
Such are the utterances which the
Times undertakes to brand rs "Cries
for Anarchy while styling itself "the
ablest and best newspaper ever pub
lished in Philadelphia"
The press might be the light bearer
of humanity, but paralyzed by venality
and cowardice, it sabs with poisoned
pen those who would elevate the So
called "laboring mob, and uses every
dishonorable device to perpetuate the
spirit Of economic servitude and polt-
zeal dependence.
Woe TO the world if some social cata-

the other brutal, finally issued the Deca-

claimed that when long train of

PENTECOST ON ANARCHlSM.
The Tre0iieth century, recently pub.
li-hed discourse by its editor, Mr.,
Hugh .. PenteCOst, in which he sets
forth the beauties of anarChism as he
sees it, This discourse the anarchists
Of Chicago, in accordance with their
customary tactics of forcing their wares
upon people at times when and in
places where they are not wanted, are
distributing at Socialist gatherings.
Having been "bounced' from our meet
ings, which they constantly disturbed,
they take this method of continuing
their unwelcome efforts at anarchIstic
proscly tism. The Socialists would do
themselves, as well as the anarchists,
Justice by enforcing a dlsContinuance
of the practice. But let us hear what
Mr.. Pentecost says:
"Now anarchy is something so nat.

DO you understand what Is meant by

IT Is reported that Major Fred w.
Smith, Receiver of Public Moneys at
Tucson, Ariz., is short in his accounts
some $32. 900. The money alleged to be
short was derived from final desert land
proofs, on which the amount of purchase
money was paid, but which were sus-
pended and no final receipts issued.
This relieves the Government of all re-
sponsibility, as money thus paid is not
considered as received by the United
States. The parties paying the money
will, however, have recourse on Major
Smith and his bondsmen. Another Re-
ceiver was lately appointed at Tucson,
but the Office has not been turned over,
and Major Smith is away on leave of alb:
senco. 1t miy be that the money is all
right, as these sums do not have to be
reported by the Receiver. and Inspector
Harlan, who is Investigating the Tucson
Office, says Smiths accounts show that
he now holds some 1872, 900 of this final
proof money. 1t is possible that Smith
may have the money in bank and will
pay It over to the parties to whom it be-
long on his return.

SOME of our large Ian dholders, who
are anxiousto find purchasers for their
lands, might take a hint from tho way
in which the owners OF lands in Red
lands are successfully placing their prop
erty on the market. MIR. Mcintosh in
forms us that he has during the past
week sold $75 900 worth of land in that
locality, and secured a very fine
and desirable class of people to settle
upon it. The sales are made at the rate
of 5000 per acre, including water for irri-
cation. The amount paid down is 20
per cent, the balance payable in ten
years, with interest at the rate of 6'5 per
cent. per annum. In the meantime the
parties agree to improve the land by put
ting out fruit trees. The value of the
land thus laid out will increase from
year to year, SO that the seller is album
DAINTY secured, whilst at the same time
the purchaser has ample time for his
trees to come into bearing and to insure
him revenue from which he will be
enabled to clear up his mortgage before
it natures. The benefit to the commu.
nifty is apparent. A scheme like this
ought to work as we'll in this county as
in San Bernardino.

The nomination of Reed for Speaker
OF the House by the Republican caucus
will not be received with favor by the
silver men or the people of the West
generally. AS Speaker he will have the
appointment OF all the committees, and
will undoubtedly place such members on
them as will give his views the most
favorable consideration. His course in
Congress has shown him to be antagon-
istic to liberal appropriations for
the improvement OF rivers and harbors,
and as the Great West is deeply inter-
ested in theee improvements, it is not
likely that it will be pleased that the
power to defeat or emasculate appropri-
atoms for our harbors and rivers has
been placed in the hands of man who is
inimical to them. The Republicans
have probably made a mistake in the BE-
lection of Mr.. Reed that will prove any.
thing but beneficial TO their party.

WASHINGTON, November 3O.--Surgepn
General Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital
Service, submitted to the Pan American
Congress a paper on Sanitation OF Ships
and Quarantine" today. He regards 1t
of universal interest that united efforts
be made to circumscribe and eradicate
at the beginning disesses which produce
pestilence. 1t is essential, says the doc
tor, that certain international refuge
guarantees be established as near as
practicable to the definite routes of
travel. To these stations all infected
vessels should be obliged to repair before
entry into the country of destination.
All port sanitary authorities should have
the right to send q suspected vessel to
the nearest international refuge station.
DIR. Hamilton recommends the follow
ing refuge stations for the present: On
the coast of the United States, ono at
Tortugas Keys, one at the Chandelier
islands; on the coast of Mexico, near
Vera Cruz; on the Central American
coast, near Colon; on the Caribbean
coast, near Laguyra; Tor the Antilles,
near Port.au-Prnce; for the Brazilian
coast, at the mouth of the Amazon (near
Para; for Uruguay and the Argentine
Confederation, at the mouth of the Rio
de la Platte; for the Gillian coast, near
Valparaiso; for the Peruvian coast, near
Callao: for the United States of Colom-
bia, near Panama; for the western coast
of Mexico; one near Acapulco and
another near San Diego, United States;
for tho western coast Of the United
States, in addition to the one at San
Diego, one at San Francisco and one
near Port Townsend.

positories and the amounts of money
kept Herewith. 1t is intended to make
this reduction in such q manner as to
avoid as far as possible any disturbance
to the business OF the country. The
transfer to the sub-treasury on or
before January Is, 1890, of about ten per
cent of their holdings of public moneys
will be required from banks having
in active accounts about 10 per cent. Of
the surplus held by them over and above
the amount needed for the convenience
OF the public service; or if the banks
wish to sell to the Government the
bonds furnished as security for these de-
posits, the Secretary will purchase them
and retain from the proceeds of the eale
+, Ne amount which otherwise would have
to be deposited as above stated, sending
cbects 70 the banks for the residue.

PERSONS contemplating building can
not be too particular about filing their
contracts with the Recorder before they
permit any work to be done. The Courts
have, with great unanimity, strictly con-
strued that part of the Mechanics Lien
Law which requires the fling OF the
contracts before the commencement of
work. They hold that the failure to do
this annihiiates the contract as far as
material men and mechanics and
laborers working on the build
ing are concerned, and the
Supreme Court, whenever this
question has come up, has virtually given
the same construction to the provision.
The contract Get aside, the person build
ing is at'the mercy of the material men,
and if his contractor is dishonest man,
the structure may cost him twice as
much as be agreed to have it built for.
This has been the sad experience of a
great many people in this city. Whether
the law in its present shape is bad one
which should be amended, is another
question, and one which we shall, discuss
exhaustively when the proper time
comes.
