HITHERTO the "Mugwump" has been
supposed to be speciality of the Repuh-
lican party, but debate in the Senate
yesterday disclosed Democratic variety
of the article. The Democrat Senators
made objection to the Commissioners
appointed by the President to the con-
ference of American Republics which
Assem- bles in Washington in May. on the
ground that there were no Democrats
amongst them. Sherman replied that
the list included three Democrats, which
brought back the Democratic retort that
two of them, White and TrescotU. were
Mugwumps. This peculiar political tribe
seems to be neither flesh nor fowl nor
yet good red herring, but this is the first
time the Mugwump has been grouped in
the Democratic party.

A VERY marked rise in the tide of
prosperity in this section is to be OBJ
served on all hands in these opening
days of the spring. One of the banks
reports an increase of fifty per cent. in
its deposits in three months. This is a
phenomenal record. All the banks re-
port much increase in their current busi-
ness and an increase of deposits. 1t is
we'll known that there are here
literally hundreds of Eastern peo-
pie with large means who intend to
buy property as soon as it is
apparent to their views that prices have
reached bedrock. This is rapidly be-
coming patent to many of them, and
they are looking anxiously for Snaps
in real estate. This summer is sure to
develop a very satisfactory business all
around.

G. H. HUPr, lawyer well known in
this State and Nevada, and who at one
time occupied a prominent position in
the bar of this city, died suddenly in San
Bernardino yesterday noon. An inquest
was to be held into the cause of his
death. Judge Hupp leaves wife and
daughter, who, it is believed, are living
in this city. In his palmy days,
the deceased was considered a very
able lawyer, and figured in some
of the most celebrated causes in
this State and in Nevada. He was
good reasoner, possessed a mind
of strong analytical power, and in the
presentation of cases was extremely
lucid and perspicuous. His eloquence
at the bar and on tAe forum was at one
time conspicuous. He deteriorated in
late years from his high intellectual es-
tate, although to the last he retained his
faculties to wonderful degree. We be-
lieve that Judge Hupp was a native of
Virginia, and came to this Coast some
time in the fifties.

FINAL CLEAN UP OF BUSINESS.
1t seems to be the universal expecta-
ton among the Senators that the Senate
will adjourn the present special session
sane die tomorrow. President Harrison
has sent in about $50 nominations since
the 9th OF March, all of which, with very
few exceptions, have been reported from
the committee and will have been con-
firmed before adjournment. Of offices
yet to be filled, the most important are,
the Commissioned General of the Land
Office and the Public Printer. It is be-
leved they will be filed within a few
days. Editor Osborne, of the Los An
geles Evening ETpress, is believed to be
the man selected for Public Printer, but
no satisfactory guess can be made as to
the Land Commissioner. The general
opinion is that w. r. Meredith, of Chi
eago, who was supposed to be the COM
ing man for Public Printer, will succeed
f. o, Graves as Superintendent of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

murder, and her husband, Monroe, as
accessory. The husband recently be-

the Almighty had promised to resurrect
the child on the third day. When
Lasater was arrested he had been carry

ANAHErM is jubilant. The Supervisors
yesterday ordered the matter of forming
a water district under the Wright Act to
vote of the people, whose verdict in
favor of the matter will be unanimous.
The action of the Board is intelligent,
being the result of visit on the part of
the Supervisors to the district in ques-
ton. All the members were impressed
by the great interests at stake in the
matter, and concluded that even
Yorba would be the beneficiary
of the proposed change in the
manner of handling the water.
The area of irrigated lands about Ana
helm, Placentia, Fullerton and Fairview
will be very much extended by the
change. The increase of irrigated area
means an increase in the products and
resources of the district. This means
greater prosperity to the entire COM
munity and an enhancement of the
value of each and every bit of land in
the district.

considered by the committee, would be
presented, but since then he had be-
come satisfied that the action of the
committee was right and he would not
press his motion. The Injunction of
secrecy upon the confirmation was ac-
cordingly removed.
There was considerable discussion up-
on the nomination of the delegates to the
Congress of American Republics, to be
held in this city next autumn. Objection
was made to them by the Democrats on
the ground that they were almost unani-
mously Republican in politics. Sherman,
Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, which had recommended the
confirmation list, stated that three of
them, namely Mssrs. White, of Mary
land, Trescott, of South Carolina, and
Hanson, OF Georgia, we're Democrats.
The minority Senators, however, in.
sisted that Trescott and Hanson were
Mugwumps, not Democrats, and ought
not to be 80 considered.
Senator Frye criticized the list of ap-
pointments, saying that, SO far as be
knew, with single exception, none of
the delegates named ought to have been
appointed. Senator Hoar eulogized Il.
Jefferson Coolidge. Frye said that
William Pinckney White was opposed
to paying subsidies to ocean steamship
lines, being interested in the operations
of clipper ships trading with South
American countries, a statement which
Senator German is said to have con-
firmed. The report of the committee
went over until tomorrow without
action by general consent, there being no
formal motion or objection entered.

notifications. Attention is directed to
the general circular of January l,
1889, containing the homestead laws and
official regulations Hereunder. These
laws and regulations are modified by
special provisions of the act of March 2,
1889, in the following particulars, viz:
First. The rule stated under the title that
''only one homestead privilege to the
same person is permitted, is SO modified
as to admit of homestead entry being
made by anyone who, prior to the pas
sage of said act, had made homestead
entry, but failed, from any cause, to se-
cure title in fee to the land embraced
therein, or who, having secured such
title, did so by what is known as
Communication of his homestead entry.
With regard to q person making a home
siead entry and failing to acquire a title
hereunder, or committing them after the
passage OF the said Act of March 2, 1889,
the rule as to second homesteads is oper-
ative, and will be enforced in relation to
these lands as we'll as others.
Second. The Statute provides for the
disposal of these lands "to actual settlers
under the homestead laws only" and,
while providing that "the rights of hon
orably discharged Union soldiers and
sailors in the late civil war shall not be
abridged" !" makes no mention of the sec
tions under which such soldiers and sail
ors, their widows and orphan children,
are permitted with regard to public lands
generally, to make additional entries in
certain cases free from the requirement
of actual settlement on the en-
tered tract; it is therefore held
that soldiers or sailors addi-
tional entries cannot be made on
those lands under said sections, unless
the party claiming will, in addition to
the proof required, make affidavit that

The Tenants Crop

The tobacco industry is one Of the
greatest OF this section of the country.
as it is made speciality by the people,
on the principle that there is more
money in it than any thing else. 1t is
the only crop that land tenants have
an assurance OF getting something out
of, and as long a. the price keeps up
to q figure in the neighborhood of ten
cents their expectations are usually
realized. No one should raise tobacco
except tenants, from the fact that there
are 80 many tenants who are able and
willing to take charge of piece of
land and cultivate it, and yet there
is not enough land to meet
their requirements. Whenever the
landlords add I'd the vol
ume of production-and when we
say land lords in relation to this mat
ter. we mean men who have large
farms who are not compelled to culti-
vate tobacco. but really ought to look
after other crops, and keep their farms
in repair. As they get half of the to-
bacco produced on their farms they
can afford it for two very important
reasons. One. that the production IL
lessened, and consequently the market
is not overstocked. and fair prices
rule as . general result The other
reason IL, it gives the landlord a
chance to look after the details
of his farm and keep 1t pro-
ductive and in repair. and by both
means he secures more net profit with
less trouble and labor. The man who
does otherwise is simply the man who
kills the goose that lays the golden
egg. and is impoverishing the land.
the tenant and himself. Avaricious-
ness ofttimes leads men to overstep
the bounds Of discretion, and especial
ly in an inordinate desire for the al
mighty dollar. and this disposition Is
the greatest drawback to the profit oS
