Young Jessup,s Petition.

SAN FRANCISCO, December S.-The
Jessup case was before the Supreme
Coart again today. The petition OF
young Richard P. Jessup was argued at
length. The petition sets forth that the
Supreme Court after having rendered q
decision in favor Of young Jessep,
granted re-hearing Of the case, which
resulted unfsvorably to petitioner. His
counsel aver that the re-hearing was
granted in manner contrary to the
statutes and they therefore ask that the
frat decision in favor of young Jessup
stand. At the conclusion Of the argu-
ment the Court took the matter under
advisement.

Am English sugar Farm Syndicate
ON the Cen sineia.

A sugar farm on gigantic scale is
about to be created in Los Angeles
county in a direction where it has not
been generally looked for. A great Eng
glish syndicate is being formed to convert
the Centinela into this wealth producer.
For some time past Captain Brown, of
the inglewood and Redondo Beach Com
panies, has been absent in England on
that mission, and We learn that he has
embarked on his return trip with the
English expert who is to report upon the
adsptability of the soil, the facilities for
fuel, transportation, etc., of this fine
property. Prior to Captain Browns de-
pArture for England experiments had
been made with beets on the Centinela,
and they developed very large percent
age of saccharine matter; running in
many instances as high as twenty per cent.
The project may be said to be practically
accomplished, as all the conditions for
the successful prosecution of the indus.
try on the Centinela exist in great per.
lection. The immense sugar factories
which will be incidents of the
plan can be supplied with cheap fuel from
the wharf at Redondo Beach, and the
refined sugar can be shipped 70 any point
of the globe by the railways and water.
ways which are so readily accessible
there. Thus the Chino ranch will by no
means enjoy monopoly of the manu-
facture of sugar, which is staple OF such
universal consumption that there is no
possibility of exceeding the demand.
The transition of the Centinela from a
sheep range to farm where unsurpassed
wheat and barley were grown in i'm
mense quantities for years by Mr.. D.
Freeman and his tenants was Of itself a
rather violent one. That from an ordi.
nary farm to sugar plantation will be
an even greater one. 1t is evident that
the Messrs. Thompson and Ainsworth
mean business. It was happy day for
Los Angeles when these evangels of
development in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Oakland, threw their
enormous wealth, enterprise and bust.
ness sagacity into this county. They not
only propose to give Los Angeles Front
street in Redondo Beach, but to develop
the intervening county as well.

A Drummer,s Compiaint.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 9-George
j. Campbell, a commercial traveller, has
written from Los Angeles to the Railroad
Commission, complaining against the
California Central railroad. Campbell
had lot of baggage, the weight of which
was 420 pounds. The railroad carries on
a iirst-cass ticket $50 pounds Of baggage
FREQ. Campbell argued that If On ons
ticket 100 pounds Of baggage was free, on
two tickets 800 pounds would be free, SO
he bought two tickets. The company
refused to check free more than $50
pounds, and Campbell had to pay excess
baggage on 270 pounds. He complains
that the California Central uujlstly dis.
criminates against commercial travellers.

The Prison surnlua.

SAN Francisco, December 9.-At a
meeting OF the State Board of Prison
Directors at San Quentin today, the
board decided that on account of the
bountiful crop expected throughout the
State, resulting from the copious raine,
the income from the sale of grain sacks
made at the prison would be enough to
supplement- the appropriation for main
tanning the prison. 1t was therefore
recommended that 100000 be trans
ferred from the prison fund to the State
treasury as surplus earnings of the Prison,

WHIPPED BIZ WHITE GAPS.
DENVER, December "a spscial from
Holyoke, Colorado, says: A masked
mob of seven White Caps last night took
J. D. Bennett and w. D. Kelsey, two
prominent attorneys, from their beds,
and not allowing them to dress, drove
them two miles into the country, where
they administered a most brutal horse-
whipping and warned them to leave the
country. The perpetrators of the out
rage then left the men and returned to
town. Bennett and Kelsey after several
hours reached home and today are in q
critical condition. 1t is thought the
White Gaps are known and will be ar
rested. The trouble has grown out Of
the county seat war, and If the guilty,
parties are secured sensational results

Universa, Disappoin.ment.

AN y 0of0 III atttE VI lhCt, huu AS suCQ
No chronicle it, no adm inistration in the
history Of the United States has run
down hill more rapidly than that of
Benjamin Harrison. He has already
loaded himself with the opprobrium
which Grants nepotism brought down on
that hero. and there are no little Incl
dents like that of Donaldson, Vicksburg
and Appomattox in Harrison's career to
blind the people to the disgusting spec
taele Of thrusting his relatives and con-
nections into public office. His betrayal
Of silver has produced universal disgust
On the Pacific Coaet amongst people of
al parties. With the knowledge that he
and all men had that the question of
tho remonetizstion Of that metal was the
leading question Of the day, the reduc-
fion of the war tariff excepted, the Pres
ident said that be had only time, in the
press of other matters, to give it a mere
haety glance. He was inclined, how
sver, to favor the recommendations of his
Secretary of the Treasury. And this right
ON the heels of the Silver Convention
which met at st. Louis to emphasize
the demands Of the whole people
Of the west and northwest. When
We come to examine Mr.. Win
dom's plan, "the Greeks bearing
gifts" feature of it CLEANS from every
line. There never was q more veritable
Trojan horse. If the insidious sugges-
&ions of the Wall street Secretary OF the
Treasury were adopted silver would in
stantly become mere commodity. The
great aim of this subtle programme is te
bring about the repeal of the Bland bill
The law compelling the Secretary to buy
and coin at least 5000 600 worth oil
silver monthly being once repealed, the
chuckling gold bugs could hammer tina,
metal down to any figure they pleased,
and one of the most valuable industries
of the United States would be throttled.
While admitting the dangers of the
surplus, he ia content to see the war
taxes perpetuated. With high pretense
OF morality, his Postmaster. General
and the man who collected a
$4O0. 600 corruption fund to pol
lutte the ballot box with bought
votes, are one and the same individual,
and the machinery OF the Postoffice De-
partment has been used to advertise the
business Of Wanamaker's great Philadel.
phia clothing house. In his appointments
he has permitted himself to be guided by
such men as Matthew Stanley Quay,
Dudley, and epoils politicians of similar
unsavory reputation. AS opposed to the
patriotic and spotless record of Cleveland, +,
his administration presents most pitia.
BILE contrast. Il is true that no grea.
public scandals have been developed as
yet, outside of nepotism, but there has
not been time for them in the natural
order of things. The influences that
beget them, however, are strongly at
work. and such methods are sure to pro-
duce them. Republican disappointment
ON this Coast is deep and universal. 1t
Is perfectly safe to say that if the election
were to take place tomorrow, President
Harrison would not Gerry single Pacific
Coast State. This is sad commentary
On less than year of the Republican
restoration.
