Royalty is getting well advertised
in Europe this summer. The Shah of
Persia has astonished all England
and is now in Paris. Emperor Will
liam of Germany has since visited
England and been kissed by the
Queen Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria is now visiting Emperor Will
liam. In connection with all this
royalty it must be remembered that
the people whose kingdoms these
sovereigns rule are being taxed to
support them together with their
immense standing armies and great
navies. The average citizen of the
United States beholds this spectacle
from g distance and thanks God heis
an American.

EXCITING SCENE IN PARLIA MENT.

The feeling between the Parnellites
and Mr. Balfour, the Irish secretary,
reached a climax last Thursday night
and the House of Commons came
near being the scene of a disgraceful
fight. Mr.. Balfour accused Mr..
Harrington, an Irish member, of call
ing the government police in Ireland,
towards, liars and uniformed blood
hounds" This was a falsehood in
vented for the occasion as the only
means at hand. whereby Balfour
might excuse the ruffian conduct of
his allies. Mr.. Harrington had just
served out a six months term in
prison where he had been sent by Mr.,
Balfour, and would have thrashed
him on the spot had he not been held
back by Mr.. Mahoney. The London
correspondent of the Boston Herald
thinks that IF HarringtOn's coat
tails had been made of less strong
material, or had Mahoney, who slid
down the aisle holding to them. been
a stone or two lighter, the angry
Irishman would have had Balfour by
the throat before he could have ut
tered his apology" All the circum-
stances tended to heighten the insult,
and it is somewhat remarkable that
not one of the London journals, even
of Balfour's own party, defends his
conduct
A STATE WHERE PROHIBITIONPRO-
HIBITS.
The CaledOnian has referred more
than once to the fact that the West
is outstripping the East in the mat
ter of reform as we'll as in some other
things At a time when several East
ern states are repudiating prohibi
ton it is encouraging to the friends
of temperance everywhere to learn
that the rum power does not rule in
some of the most promising states in
our country. The testimony as re-
CARDS the enforcement and effect of
prohibition in the states of Iowa and
Kansas is indisputable. When a
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas writes
an article over his own signature to
the August Forum in which he as
serts that prohibition in Kansas
does prohibit, it certainly outweighs
many assertions of the beer journals
and beer drinkers that it does not
prohibit. Take the following sample
paragraph from the article referred
to:
Kansas has abolished the saloon.
The open dram-shop traffic is as ex-
tinct as the sale of indulgences A
drunkard is a phenomenon. The bar
keeper has joined the troubadour, the
crusader and the mOund-builder. The
brewery, the distillery, and the bond
ed warehouse are known only to the
arch9ologist- 1t seems incredible
that among population of 1, 700,-
900 people, extending from the Mis-
sour river to Colorado, and from
Nebraska to Oklahoma, there is not
a place which a thirsty or hilarious
wayfarer can enter and laying down
a coin demand his glass of beer. This
does not imply that absolute drought
prevails everywhere, or that social
irrigation" has entirely disappeared.
But the habit of drinking is dying

Major J. B. Lauck, travelling passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific Company,
who for the past four months has been
travelling with the California exhibit in the
East, returned to this city to-day. In re-
ferring to the benefits to be derived from
the exhibit, California on Wheels" the
Major said:
at is almost impossible to clearly under
stand the great benefit this State will de-
! rive from this travelling exhibit. 1t is GER
taiDly the most comprehensive plan of ad-
vertising the varied resources of our State
that could be devised. AS soon as the cars
reach town, they are surrounded by hun
dreds of people, even before the exhibit is
detached from the train. The interest
manifested in our section is phenomenal
and the exhibit is doing much to awaken
an interest in the Golden State. In Pater-
son, n. j., over niue thousand visitors
passed through the cars in one day.
We constantly met persons who wished
to give US orders for fruit and wine, ETC.,
ana they were much astonished when in
formed that we took no order and would
give no addresses. In some cases bottles OF
wine were taken from the racks, so the
names on the labels could be read In Bos-
ton gentleman visited the cars, and while
| there an agent of g Santa Clara firm hap
peneu IN, VINO TOOK an order from the BOS-
tonian for two carloads of fruit.
The exhibition is new iourneying west
| ward on the return trip, the objective point
| being Chicago. But some time must
e!apse before this point is reached, as a
| number of stops will be made.
"One of the results of this exhibit will
be large increase in the sales OF California
| fruit and in year l do not think our
State can supply the demand. All through
the rural districts our wines and fruits are
practically unknown; but when our goods

NEVADA CITE..
Public Sentiment Against the Manage

Public Sentiment Against the Manage
ment of Its Water Supply.
NEVADA, July 1st.-The owner of the
city water-works last night notified the
City Trustees that she would this morning
quit buying water from the South Yuba
Company, because of the action of the
Trustees in reducing rates to point where
she claims she cannot make profit. The
reservoirs hold enough to last the city two
weeks, if none is used for irrigating or fire
purposes. They were left full this morn
ing, but no water is now running in.
The Trustees at a meeting Friday night
adopted a resolution pledging not to inter
fere officially or otherwise with the collec-
ton OF the old rates, but as the ordinance
reducing them went into effect to-day the
owner is advised she would forfeit her
property and otherrights should she collect
any but the new rates.
It is believed that the matter will be sat
isfactorily settled within a day or two, as
the Trustees are willing TO make q reasona-
BILE concession. Public sentiment against
the management of the water works is
very bitter, while many of the citizens
blame the Trustees for getting the city into
such scrape and not providing any means
of escape when they were notified last
February that the water should be shut off
to-day if rates were reduced.
1t is game of bluff and the city has the
worst of it so far.
NEVADA, July 1st.-The Trustees met to-
day and rescinded the ordinance reducing
the city water rates This being satistac-
tory to the owner of the works, water has
been turned on again. An election will be
held on the 22d inst. TO vote on issuing
$4,000 bonds to buy the works or construct
new ones

Its Primary Object Retaliation on the
Protestant Minority.
MONTREAL Quebec, July 1st. = The
reigning sensation here Just now is
rumor founded on the best authority that
the French Canadian portion of the popula-
ton of....Quebec have, under cover OF as
sembling for the recent great celebration of
the fete of st. Jean Baptiste in Quebec city,
formed an aggressive league, which has
for its primary objects retaliation on the
Protestant minority, and failing in tina; the
separation of the province from the rest of
the dominion.
INTERESTING INTERVIEW.
To ascertain what truth there was in the
rumors a leading French Canadian was
interviewed. Having large English
patronage, be first obtained the promise
that his name would be withheld before
consenting to be interviewed. He reviewed
the Protestant movement and said:
UNITED relations being finally decided
on by the leaders of the French Canadian
party, the next step was to organize.
A KNoTTY PRoBLEN.
"How to do this without exciting greater
uproar in the Protestant camp and without
bringing down the censure of the church
was the knotty problem the leaders were
on them that the fete of st. Jean Baptiste
on June Goth, could be made an excuse for
the assembling of French Canadians from
all parts of Canada and even the United
States. Quebec was decided upon as the
rallying ground, and to Quebec hied all
good French Canadians on the oath.
AN OPEN AIR GATHERING.
Hon. Mr.. MERCER, Premier, and all the
Ministers of the local House were press MT
| at big open-air gathering, as were the
Papal Zouaves, the SiXty-fifth French Regi-
| ment from Montreal and some 500 delegates
| from French Canadian societies in the
United States.
1T was at great gathering in front of the
Parliament buildings that the great mass
of people became aware that they had been
called together for another purpose than
the celebration of the national fete. In the
| evening We held meeting of the leaders
of different organizations, and it was there
| that new league was formed.
TINE FOR ACTION AT HAND.
"Our object at present must remain secret,
| but one thing is sure-we have suffered de-
| famation and abuse long enough, and now
the time for action is nearly at hand"
Is it true that there is any intention to
start movement with the object of having
the L IoNluCe Oi Queoec WltnuTaW from the
confederation ?"
SIGNIFICANT THREAT.
son that, too, must be silent, but / may
say that if the French Canadians in Que
| bee cannot remain in the union as free and
| independent citizens, SO far as our national
rights and religion are concerned, the
| sooner we withdraw from the bondage
| and assert our independence the better"
The Protestant crusade continues with
| unabated persistence all over Canada, and
as the French Canadians are now fully de-
| termined to stand up for their claimed
| rights, it is certain that there are lively
| times ahead for the Dominion.
