EXPERT FORGERY.
A Smooth Individual Works Stockton,
and Then Disappears,

and Then Disappears,
The City of Stockton was visited by an
accomplished forger during the latter part
of last week, who succeeded in passing
forged checks on at least eight prominent
business houses of that city, and then de-
parted.
AS it is believed that he headed for this
city when leaving Stockton, description
of his appearance and nod.ts oDerandi might
be of interest. He is about feet inches
in hight, of medium build, has blonde
hair and mustache, and pale face. He is
described as being good dresser and an
excellent conversationalist. To give an
idea of the manner in which he works. the
following is taken from the Stockton Mail s
account of his operations
"At noon on Saturday the sleek operator
went to Logan e. Doan's furniture store, on
Main street, near California, and purchased
from Theodore Franks, the salesman, bed
room furniture worth S4S %. He gave a
check for S6S, which the salesman accepted,
the members of the firm being absent.
The young man received $40 rs change, and
ordered the goods to be delivered this
morning at certain number on Rose
street. After he had gone Franks stepped
across to John Hermann, at the Chicago
saloon, and the latter cashed the check as
an accommodation. This morning he pre-
sented it at the Farmers and Merchants
Bank, on which all the checks were drawn,
and found it to be forgery. He went
back to the furniture store with it, and just
as he arrived saw the driver of the wagon
returning with the furniture, no such num-
Der as had been given existing On Rose
street"
Other houses were swindled for amounts
varying from $40 to $50, there being no
doubt as to the work being all done by the
same individual. 1t is thought that he OBJ
tained several hundred dollars altogether
and also several trunktuls of clothing.

YOLO Is NOT DEAD.
The Woodland '.AIail'' Puts Life Into the
Drowsy People.

The Woodland ''Mail'' Puts Life Into the
Drowsy People.
The Woodland Hail of yesterday has an
article which proves that all the people
of our neighboring county are not dead nor
sleeping. With commendable enterprise
the Mail has determined that Yolo shall be
represented at the State Fair. and since the
Business Mems Association has given it
up that paper proposes to get up the ex-
hibit The article has the right ring, and
we print it in full:
Monday afternoon the committee ap
pointed by the Woodland Business Mems
Association held meeting in Lawson &
Walkers Office and decided to abandon
further efforts to get up 1Olo county ex-
hibi; for the State Fair. This action was
due, the committee alleges, to the lack of
encouragement given them by the public
The Mail said some weeks ago that
Yolo county must have an exhibit at the
State Fair, and it meant it. We have de-
termined to take hold of the exhibit and
push 1t through, with the assistance of citi-
zeIs. 1t shall be an exhibit which will be
creditable to Yo!o county-a better one
than she ever before put up for the State
Fair.
Men will be put in the field at once to
gather together its elements Every mans
exhibit will be described and identified by
tastily printed labels The fair opens next
Monday. Part of the exhibit will go for
ward Saturday of this week, and large addi-
tons on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of fair week. The perishable
fruit display will be replenished from day
to day. The Mail calls upon all to CO.
operate with it in this matter"

THE FRICTION AT THE SOUTH.

The conflicts in the South between the
whites and the blacks in certain sections
have led several of our contemporaries
into the expression of fears that there is
about to be inaugurated war of races.
The Alta believes that the negro has been
led by the stories of war in Hayti and the
feats of colored soldiers there, into the de-
fusion that he can here safely rise and
put down the whites. We do not see any
reason for such conclusion. There NAV
be few men in the South who may have
thus played upon the ignorance of certain
of the colored people. But the masses of
that race have neither the desire to rise
in insurrection nor to be at enmity with
the white people. The mass of them have
interests, industrial and otherwise with
the whites that render such a thing as a
race war suicidal. The pocket nerve is
the most sensitive, and the negro of the
South is as fully alive to industrial posi-
bilities that are opening up to him as are
any others. He is not likely to wreck
everything by attempting to inaugurate
reign Of terror, in which he finds himself
opposed by the bayonets of the Govern
ment that above all things else he pro-
foundly respects and fears. That there is
unrest and more or less ill-feeling among
the blacks at the South is undeniable, and
at the risk of being deemed a political
sensationalist, we venture the assertion
that it can be shown that the whites are
most blameworthy for these undesirable
conditions. They have drawn the color
line in all affairs with a strictneSs that has
left the colored man outside of rights and
remedies that it his sovereign privilege to
enjoy The fact that the white man in
the South has constantly engaged in de-
NAL of the right of the negro to better his
condition except under the domination of
the white man, goes long way in ac-
counting for the present difficulties. That
there should be sporadic outbursts here
and there indicates that at remote points as
well as in centers of population, some un-
usual or more than usually fragrant inva-
sion of the rights of the colored man has
been attempted, or, at least, that he so be-
lieves. Certainly there is lacking all the
elements of preparation, contemplation and
malice that would mark the opening of a
rebellion or of race war. If the South
ern people will cease the iteration of their
fears, and the constant overhauling of
their phrases about black domination, we
believe that there will be manifest but lit
tie unrest on the part of the blacks The
South has been shouting wolf at every
turn, until, possibly, some blacks have come
to believe that they are bound to make
an effort to terrorize. 1t would be an
excellent plan for our Southern brethren
to adopt, to leave the negro severely alone
and note the result of such policy.

THE LABOR PARADE.

The labor parade in San Francisco on
Monday was an orderly and well con-
Quoted affair. There was not an intoxi.
Gated man in the line. and the working
men of the metropolis thus demonstrated
their capacity to control the membership
in the organized bodies. and TO direct it in
an orderly manner. The parade was
protest, or petition, as it may be taken,
against long hours of labor-that is, a
demonstration for such division of the
hours of the day as will afford the work
ing forces of the land opportunity for
reasonable recreation and rest We appre-
hend that there is really no opposition to
such adjustment wherever it can be ef-
fected by mutual agreement. There is no
antagonism to the use of moral suasion for
the shortening of the hours of labor some
what, from the maximum that has obtain
ed for most part in the past But what
the sentiment and justice of the country
has opposed, and will continue to resist, is
the attempt to eoerce men into any policy
in the matter. The strike aud the boy
colt, as means to the end, cannot have
favor, and are the weapons that most gem
orally turn against those who invoke their
use. The artisans and workers for wages
have the power, as they have themselves
demonstrated, to accomplish more by
orderly non-coercive and inofiensive
methods, than by employment of any
Others. The sympathy of the American
people is more easily won than it is
drisen-indeed, it cannot be driven. The
American worker has come to this con-
clusion, if we read him Alright, and is now
moving in his effort to effect reform in
that way. Thus far he has met with suf-
fieient encouragement to warrant him in
still continuing in the same line.

SECRETARY WINDOW has resolved to
enforce the order long since provided in
the regulations but never obeyed, requiring
the Stars and Stripes to be foated from
every United States building. Why the
regulation ever fell into disuse is not ex-
planned. 1t is wise order. There is not
the slightest danger that our people will
become too familiar with the American
flag, or too deeply impressed with its
symbolic character. The same order ought
to be made by every State concerning all
public buildings, and the flag of unity and
freedom be seen floating in sunshine and
in storm from every structure in which
there is State institution. The sum we
would expend for bunting for this purpose
would be considerable, but it would be well

without fear of successful contradiction"
as the old challenge runs, that if young
women were no more "skittish" about
appearance in gymnasium costume, than
they are free about exposure in close-ft-
ting garbs at the seaside in bathing season,
they could receive instruction in the for
mer that would contribute greatly to their
general good health and their happiness.
But in fact the gymnasium costume is not
at all immodest, and does not indecently
expose the female form divine. 1t is simply
neat, roomy, free from whalebone, springs,
corded lines, heavy skirts and con6ning
corsets. There should be well stocked and
managed gymnasiums for women in every
town in the land. Every woman ought to
be encouraged to take exercise in them
