having been divorced. There was an
understanding that father R. G. was to cali
on the child occasionally. He called at his
wife's house to see the child last Tuesday
afternoon and was given permission to take
the little one out for an airing. Since then
neither father nor child has been seen.
o. G. Weyse's child with his father dis

have been working on the case ever since,
and to day claimed to have traced the
fugitives. Warrants have been issued for
the arrest of the Weyse brothers on charges

1t Begins to Fall Across the Good City
of Placerville.
John Olsen and William Drager will be
executed at Placerville on Wednesday
next. All accounts received from that
place indicate that the people of Ell Dorado
quite generally sympathize with the con.
demned men, and believe their sentences
should be commuted TO life Imprisonment.
1t is even rumored that the Sheriff will re-
sign bis office rather than carry out the
mandate of the Court, but that can hardly
be credited. Courts of justice cannot be
baked in that way, and it is not likely
that any officer would shirk his duty under
such circu Instances.
The feeling in Placerville at this time is
said TO be almost unanimous that these
men should not be hanged. but il was evil

which resulted in their conviction. The
approaching execution is causing no little
excitement in old "Hangtown."

THE Rio Janeiro NeDs of recent date
says that our commerce with Brazil is
steadily declining. In 1887 our imports
into that country had fallen to 81 per
cent. of all brought in. In 1888 the de-
cline had reached 81 per cent, and it
promises this year to touch Al. But in
the meantime the exports of Brazil to the
United States steadily increase, the ad-
vance being from 81 to 81 per cent. from
1887 to 1888. This disproportion in the
balance of trade ought to exercise our bus
iness men deeply. Whether the results
anticipated to flow from the Pan-Amer-
lean Congress will help us out of this diff
Guilty may well be doubted. Brazil,
while cordial toward us socially, and our
friend politically, will buy where she can
buy cheapest, and sell where she can pro-
cure the best price and the steadiest de-
mand. Craftsmanship can help us but
little in this matter, for while the bill
authorizing the invitation for the Amer
lean Congress recites that one of its pur-
poses is "to promote commerce." trade is
not sentimental and has no politics.

IT is gratifying to learn from the recent
Ministerial and Consular reports that our
manufacturers and dealers are gaining
ground, despite English and German OPP
position, in Mexico. 1t is due, for one
thing, to the fact that our people are
manufacturing to suit the Mexican taste.
Heretofore we have insisted that they
shall take what we chose to make. Up to
1881 the United States shipped into Mex
leo no more than 100000 worth of ma
chinery year, but the figures for 1889
will reach, according to Minister Ryans
estimate, 100000. In 1887 the sum total
was 100000. At this rate of increase,
if we adapt our machinery to the wishes of
the Mexican people, whether it fits into
our own ideas of what it should be or not,
we will before the close of another decade
control the machinery import market in
Mexico.
