SAN FRANCISCO, December THE
United States steamer Thetis arrived
here from the Arctic today, having COM
pleted an eight months cruise. The
Thetis was caught in an ice pack near
Point Barrow, August 18Th, and mar
rowly escaped destruction. Captain
Stockton reports that every effort was
made to save the ship, and that
the officers and men exerted themselves
to the utmost. After being fast in the
ice four and half days slight opening
was made, and the ramming process was
adopted and kept up until the vessel was
free. Captain Stockton also reports that
the Thetis has travelled along the entire
coast line Of Alaska, and made longer
cruise than ever attempted by any
other vessel in those waters in one
season.

EDITORS HERALD-The pastor Of Uni
versity church has inaugurated the plan
of holding monthly missionary prayer
meeting. That of last Thursday evening
was especially interesting. Addresses
were delivered by Drs. Cherrington and
Bovard and others. DIR. Bovard having
just come from the meeting of the Board
of Missions recently held OF Kansas
City, gave some interesting statistics
concerning the work. He said that
during the past year there were 10000
conversions in the various foreign mis-
sions of the M. E. church. The whole
world seems now open to missionary
labors. The Methodist church during
the past year raised in gifts and dona-
tions 81, 120, 900 for the missionary cause.
About fifty.five per cent. of this
was expended in the foreign field,
and the balance in the United
States. The handsome new opera
chairs purchased by the ladies' OF this
church have been put in place this week
and will be used for the first time today.
DR.. Bovard, President of the University,
will preach the sermon at the re-opening
today. A special musical programme is
promised, and it will no doubt be an in
teresting occasion. At night DR..
Matthew gives the ninth in the series of
lectures to young people, the theme be-
ing "The Fast Young Man." A tcy
sociable for the benefit OF Hodge hall was
given by Mrs. Dodsworth at her pslati
residence, corner of Sixth and Main
streets, on Wednesday evening. The
large company were splendidly enter
tanned and handsome sum was raaiiyod

at O'Clock special train left with
sixty EIGHT tons OF raw silk and 400 tons
Of tea, the object being to run the special

from Los Angeles. 1t is thought that
the Canadian Pacific time will be broken
by thirty-six hours. If it can bs demon.
strated that tea can be delivered in

shipments will be resumed from San

THE producers of Los Angeles have
done an excellent thing in the organiza-
ton yesterday of the Producers Union,
with ex-senator Cornelius Cole as Presi-
dent. For long time some such con-
cert of action has been needed, and the
movement grew out of suggestions made
by members OF the National Grange dur
ing their recent visit TO this Sec
ton. The plan embraces the col
lection Of statistics as to articles
consumed in Los Angeles which could
be raised here that are imported from
abroad, the obtaining of more favorable
rates of transportation from the railway
and steamship companies, the establish
ment of cooperative creameries, cheese
factories, and pork and meat packing
works, and the arrangement for such
handling of the products of the farm as
will not give middlemen the lions ehare
of the profits. The Union starts off with
strong membership, and it can be
made the means of enriching the
farmer incalculably, if intelligently ad.
ministered. The French vignerons have
attained their high state of prosperity
by this principle of cooperation. Every
dozen or 80 vineyards which adjoin each
other have their cooperative winery,
and the vine.grower is thus enabled to
grade and hold his wines for fair prices.
The HERALD halls the new departure
with enthusiasm, and augurs we'll for the
future from the spontaneity and purpose
with which the producers are coming to
the center.

THE general idea that business has
fallen off in Los Angeles OF late is moi
sustained by the facts. The receipts
from licenses furnish as good data ou
this point as could be desired. In 1887
they were $128. .4S3 so; in 1888,
$191 ,O51.5O; in 1889, $l91, 78l 50. 1t will
thus be seen that during the current
year they have exceeded those of last
year by some $500, although multitudes
OF real estate dealers have quit business
during the past eleven months. The
celebrated boom year, 1887, was dis
tanced out OF sight.

Yesterday the Sample trial, before

Sample was charged with forging the
will OF the late 0. L. Susaud, offered by
her for probate. The case was given to
the jury, who, after one hour and forty
minutes, returned verdict of guilty.
The first ballot was 10 to 2, and the
second an agreement. The jury
did not think Mrs. Sample
wrote the will herself, but they think
she knew it was forgery, if she did not
procure its being written. The judgment
of the jury was that the will was an
oliogrsphic will or a forgery. The former
it could not be by any construction Of
the expert testimony given. Therefore
it is forgery.

Something About Oentralizatio,

Something About Capitalization.
The Tribune hints that we have dis
covered the centralizing tendency of
President Harrison's message. We dis
like to descend from the epic dignity OF
editorial narrative, but we feel con.
strained to plead guilty through the
medium Of the word ''sorter." The
Tribune then proceeds to enumerate a
number of things that have had CEN
tralizing tendency, some OF which we
approve heartily, such as the abolition
of slavery, the preservation of the Union,
etc. That is kind of Capitalization
that we e-heartily like, and we readily
condone any little temporary DETECTION
given to the Constitution to accom- plish
it. But Mr.. Harrison, in his message,
trotted out the genuine old blue law Fed
eralism of John Adams and his follow.
ers. First, the Executive must 60 out
of his way to notice the Field-Terry
episode, and to predicate upon
that unfortunate affair q suggestion
that our laws should be SO
modified as to make the jurisdiction
Of a Federal Judge extend wherever be
might choose to dine, and recommending
that all Federal subordinates, Marshals.
Deputy Marshals, jurors, witnesses and
what not, should be get aside from the
body of their fellow citizens and regarded
as privileged class, cognizance of their
attractions of the law, ifsuch immaculate
creatures could infringe the law,
to be taken only before e Federal
court. Next he suggests that the
right to conduct their own elec-
tions should be taken away from the
people of the states and placed in the
hands of Federal myrmidons, at once
brushing away the last vestige of the
reserved rights of the states. These
suggestions not being sufficiently cen.
tralizing, Mr.. Harrison adopts the spirit
of the Blair bill, and gives his adhe.
sion to the idea that the Federal govern.
ment ought, practically, to take charge
of education in the several States,
or at least unconstitutionally appropriate
the peoples money to ladle out larnin'
to the colored man and brother. If this
Is not Capitalization of all power in the
national government, we would like to
know what would be. The ghost of old
job n Adams must have smiled with iov
as he contemplated his promising pupil.
Fortunately the American people are not
FOOLS and they can pull up the Republi.
can party in its march to the subversion
of the true principles OF our government
as quickly as they twice did the party
OF Calhoun at two memorable eras of our
history. A journal that announced that
Mr. Harrison's message was in ia yor of
silver, however, can scarcely be expected
to see things as they are. The President
is not in favor of Capitalization. Oh, no !
1t is some other man who looks, acts and
talks like him. and manages to slip into
the Executive chair at intervals, while
it's rightful occupant is out shaking
hands with the hayseeds.
