Men. That wake a country.


When Claus Spreckels says that the
refinery enterprises he has inaugurated
at Philadelphia and New Orleans will,
when he has them going, turn out
1000, 900 pounds day-within 1,000.0OO
pounds of the entire output Of the sugar
trust-we must take his declaration in
its solid sense, and not as fimsy boast.
MIR. Spreckels' word heretofore has been
backed up by deeds. He is a man who
is thoroughly posted in his business, and
possesses mind for large affairs, which
he has shown en- this Coast and in the
Sandwich Islands to degree that has
astonished everybody. He is emphati-
cally what we might call a man who
is the carver of his own sue
cesses. His immense fortune has
been of his own devisement, and he
seems to be possessed of the quality OF
executive expansion to an extent that is
boundless in it's reach. The location OF
refinery near New Orleans is an evil
dence of patriotic genius, combined with
special possibilities. The "Coast," as
the sugar region of Louisiana is called,
is the great cane producing region of the
South. That industry is brought into
straits by our tariff policy, and the plan
tation interests, which at one time were
princely, threaten to be wiped out
by political policies and new indus
trial invasions. But Mr.. Spreckels.
like knight of old, comes to the rescue
of the historical plantations of Terre
Bonnie and Bayou Lafourche. He says
to the impoverished noblesse OF the old
Creole aristocracy, produce your cane
and make your molasses. will convert
it into refined sugar and give you mar
ket." Such are the strokes of individual
genius, accompanied with the power to
practically carry them out, that have
made nations great and rich. Napoleon,
surrounded by Gordon of the naval
powers that excluded him from inter
course with the sugar producing regions,
imagined that the wonderful pre-.
dominance of saccharine in the
beet would enable him to sweeten
France within herself. The idea
WAS put into practice, and France
laughed at the embargo. A London
merchant, of great genius for commerce,
saw in the soldierly enterprise Of Lord
Give new empire of commerce to be
added to the British realm. He seized
upon the East India Company when il
was a shadow and made it power OIL
substance that brought the riches Of
"Ormus and of Ind" to his beloved city.
1t is individual genius for affairs that
first suggests and then creates great in
dustries that have made all the inland
furnishing cities of Europe and America,
Mr.. Spreckels in his stupendous enter.
prises is not only making fame and for.
tune for himself, but he is making
history in its best sense-the dissemina
ton of prosperity and the widening o.
the field of industry.

ADJOURNED SINE DIE.


New YORK, October 24-In the Epis-
copal Convention today the proposed
canon on deaconesees was adopted as fol-
lows: Unmarried women of pure char
acter and proved fitness may be appointed
to the office of deaconesses by any bishop
of the church"
DR.. Goodwin read the report of the
Committee on Canons in reference to the
petition of foreign churches. The
report regulates matters of detail
in reference to the government
of the church. Rev. Davenport, of
Springfield, Mass, attacked the report
and charged Rev. Nevin with attempting
to establish a foreign bishopric, with
probable headquarters at Rome. An &C.
rimonious debate followed. The canon
was adopted as offered by the commit
tee.
The petition of the colored clergy was
taken up and warm debate ensued.
The minority report was defeated and
the majority report adopted.
In the afternoon Seth Low moved that
the canon providing for a Missionary
Episcopate over the colored churches be
re-committed, to be reported to the next
convention. Adopted.
The triennial pastoral letter was read
tonlgne. Among other things 1t touches
upon Civil Service Reform, saying that
the church does not undertake the war.
fare Of the partisan, but would leave an
important duty undone if it did not ex-
ercise care for the political as well as
ecclesiastical elfare of the state. "Ofi-
cial place." says the letter, "should not
be won by vulgar Incompetence. The
honors Of Office are a legitimate recon-
pense bestowed upon citizens who have
served their state, and should not be
distributed among the corruptible."
Referring to false doctrines preached
in the church, the letter repudiates the
peculiar doctrinal views presented by
individuals as not emanating from the
entire body.
The report of the Committee on
Amendments to the Constitution, declar-
ing it inadvisable to consider the subject,
was adopted. A commendatory resolu-
zion pertaining to the clergymen's retir-
ing fund, and recommending that a
similar fund be established by each do
cese, was passed and the convention adj
journed sine die.
The next General Convention will be
held at Baltimore.

THE announcement is made that the
Vanderbilt lines have agreed with the
Union Pacific on programme of ex-
tension from Frisco, Utah, to the Pacific
Coast, to one of the seaports in proximity
to Los Angeles. The account is circum-
stantial and says that the agreement has
been ratified by both boards of the cor
porations interested. This is good news
for Los Angeles. 1t means the early
completion of new through road from
this point to the Atlantic by the most
direct middle route.

In DISCUSSING sewage in connection
with irrigation, good many points are
attempted to be made that are as dull as
the back OF an axe. One citizen from
near Green Meadows, or some such
damp portion of the section, testifies
that he does not approve of the use of
sewage for irrigation. Of course
he does not. Neither does he
approve of the use OF river or
any other sort of water for irrigation.
The district is damp and does not need
irrigation. A farmer from Compton
comes in and says he does not approve
of sewage irrigation. He does not ap-
prove of any sort of irrigation on his
lands. They are damp enough. Prob
ably the water rises to within six or
eight inches of the surface. He needs
drainage rather than irrigation. A third
man comes in and says he has
half an acre of ground. and
he is opposed to the bad smell
Of the sewage. He would be opposed to
the use Of any sort of water to irrigate
near his place; or he would be opposed
to it if he had intelligence enough to
know that all irrigation creates more or
less malaria and diphtheria. 1t is the
water itself, the pure article, that does
this far more than the sewage matter
that is SO offensive to the sense of smell.
Where the sewage ought to be used is
on large tracts of land on which water
does not rise near the surface.
All along north of Florence and
east Of Alameda street, down to
near the river, including the
Nadeau Vineyard tract, where wells
have to be dug 100 feet deep, affords an
opportunity of disposing Of the sewage Of
the whole city. The Lsguna ranch
would be vastly benefited by the savage,
and its use there could not by any posi-.
bility disturb any dweller in this fair
land of promise. Much is made out OF
the fact that the owners Of such tracts
do not come before the Council in focks
and bid against each other for
the control of the sewage. The
other fact is cunningly, adroitly
and purposely concealed that the Ballona
Doodle outfall gang has put this out Of
the question, by means Of their manner
OF advertising for bids. The one matter
of requiring contracts to run for fifty
years is stop to all bids being put in.
Fifty years Think of it. The State is
not yet forty years old. See what has
been done, the changes that have taken
place, the development that has been
brought out in these four decades, and
then look ahead fifty years and think
what this city will be, what this section
will be at the end of these five decades,
and then we shall begin to see why the
Council fixed the limit of contracts at
fiftv voora
