THAT WHICH WE CALL A ROSE.

The discussions which take place at the
monthly meetings of the Floral Society are
always interesting and those Of last Friday
were no exception to the rule. Gardeners
and florists should make point of attend
ing when they can. No one can set limit
to the possible development OF Horticulture
in this State, or to its possible profits
AT the present time Horticulture is profit
able business only in very expert and
economical hands. There are seasons of
the year when fine flowers command ex-
travagant prices. Last Christmas La
France roses sold at retail at So dozen, the
choicest chrysanthemums for as much
money and yiOlets at 90 cents a bunch.
Now, the same flowers can be bought for
one-sixth Of those figures. But it pays to
grow La Frances to sell at so cents dozen,
If they can be raised in large quantities in
sheltered sunny spot ard the demand lasts
throughout the year. In New York last
winter violets sold as high as cents
apiece, or So for a bunch Of hundred.
These were raised under glass, whereas
here we grow them in the open air through
out the winter. For this flower the demand
is perennial. A fragrant bunch of violets
is always property everywhere.
Eastern visitors frequently inquire why
we uO uOt Cultivate EOSeS Oh large scale
for the manufacture of otto or altar of roses
Florists reply that we DO not have heat
enough to develop the perfume of the flower
that Broussa Province and those sections
of India where otto of roses is made enjoy
a warmer climate than California. This
certainly cannot apply to the San Joaquin
Valley, where the heat is fierca enough in
summer. We Imagine that the faIntness of
the fragrance Of our roses arises chiefly
from the fact that we have devoted more
attention to developing the size, hue and
shape Of our roses than to strengthening
their odor. 1t is law in botany that ex-
cessive hybridization, conducted in order to
improve the shape of flower, involves a
loss of its natural fragrance; thus the
Souvenir de Malmaison and the Nephitos,
which are the most beautiful flowers in the
world, are almost seentless. and the gigantic

UNEQUAL VOTERS.

Some of the older States are complaining
that voter in a new State has greater po-
litical power than one in an old State. In
Massachusetts 1885, 1892 Republicans cast
fourteen electoral votes, or one electoral
vote for every 1875 Republican voters.
In two or three of the new States the total
vote of all parties will be but little greater
than the Republican vote in Massachusetts
for each elector. Tie greater political
power of the voter in a new State lies in
the fact that each State has two Senators.
without regard to population. The electoral
vote of State is equal to the number of
Senators and Representatives combined,
thus giving small State the same repre-
sentation in the Senate, and, to an extent,
in the electoral vote, that large State has.
But this inequality of numbers disappears
in a closer view of the work of legislation.
The large, old States get all the important
places on committees. New York Will have
half dozen chairmanships, let which
party will win, and it will be a long time
before new State gets any place on an i'm
portant committee at all. The Representa-
tive of the new State votes, and that is
about the only time when lie can make him
self felt. There is very little basis for the
apprehension that the new States will exer-
else an undue influence upon the legislation
of the country. Assuming personal equal
ity, member from Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania or Ohio exercises a
greater influence than one from States
which have but one Representative. They
represent the weight of az older and more
staid community. They represent, also,
established industries and the wealth they
have erected. There is hardly an excep
tonally able man in the Senate from east
of Ohio, but long experience and the
prestige of representing their rich old
States gives them influence out of proper
ton to the number of votes they cast 1t
is matter of history that the two Senators
given to small States were designed to bal
anee to an extent the undue political
weight OF the larger States.

FAMILY TROUBLES,

A Young Woman Causes the Arrest of
Her Stepfather.
Antoine Joseph, a saloon keeper, was ar
rested yesterday by Officer Egan, and locked
up at the North Harbor Station on charge
of grand larceny. The complaint was sworn
to by his daughter, Mrs. Annie Lopez.
Mrs. Lopez, whose husband is now whal-
ing in the Arctic, says that the saloon men,
toned belongs to her, and that a few days
ago her mother and stepfather turned her
out and took charge of the place. On Sat
urday, she says, Joseph followed her to a
house on Commercial street. and forcibly
took from her hand-satchel containing a
large amount of jewelry and So in gold.

Joseph admitted to the officer that he
took the satche. but did so for safe-keep-
ing. He surrendered the bag, which con-
tanned a couple oi watches and chains and
an assortment Of bracelets, pms, etc, but

gardens Of our grandfathers. 1t is from
the cabbage-rose that the Provencals make
their otto of roses, and the altar of the
Danubian Provinces and of India is made
from the Rose of Damascus, also primi-
tive type, not remarkable fer beauty.
Some day some enthusiastic florist will
plant few acres in the San Joaquin Valley
with the despised roses of past times, and
will set up works to triturate the leaves
and distill the essential oil. He will have to
go into the business on large scale, for it
is said to take 100000 roses to make half an
ounce of otto, worth $50. But at Broussa
an acre of land produces good many
thousand roses. and it would probably not
be less productive here.

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES.
A Rare Specimen that Turned Out TO be
Worthless.

A Rare Specimen that Turned Out TO be
Worthless.
Among the mineral specimens in the
State cabinet, now on exhibition in the
Crocker Art Gallery in this city. there were
two large pieces of 'lapis lazuli'' from
Persia, polished and very fine. So fine
were they that, as matter of courtesy, the
Trustees were requested, and consented to
lend one of the pieces to the State Mining
Bureau for exhibition in their museum in
San Francisco.
A short time ago one of the Trustees was
showing a lady from the City of the Angels
through the cabinet, and of course stirred
up the lapis lazuli lion to roar and wag his
tail. The lady was no novice, mark you,
in handling pretty specimens. She said
That's very pretty; wonder if it's real 2"
The exhibitor shrugged his shoulders and
replied: well, We received it for that, and
have never questioned it. Why do you
doubt?" She said II once asked friend
| who was travelling in Germany, where
such specimens are for sale, to procure one

did not look right to me, so l Clipped it;

| The Trustee quietly carried the lapis
lazuli home in his pocket at night, and
there he Clipped it, streaked it, and gener-
ally investigated the dubious specimen,
and it was nothing more than quartz dyed

had not been lent to the Mining Bureau,
he wrote forthwith to the genial State
Mineralogist, suggesting an examination
In few days the report was received

On four occasions the RECORD UNION
has fully and in detail set forth the an

hibition. 1t is not necessary, there
fore, to go over the ground again.

Have Taxpayers Rights ?

EDS. RECORD UNION: On Thursday night
couple of citizens, who pay taxes and
thus held to defray the expense of having
the streets sprinkled in very bad fashion,
were crossing M street at Seventh, and
made an effort to pass in front of q
sprinkling cart that was leaving deluge of
water and mud in its wake. The driver of
the cart. seeing that they were aiming to
avoid walking through mud. whipped up
his team apparently so as to head them of,
which he did, and as the nearest crossing
was approached turned on an extra head
of water, SO that the pedestrians had to do
the wading act.
This is a small matter, hut it only serves
to illustrate the disposition of some of the
city's hirelings to treat with contempt the
people who pay them for their work.

Poor, Unfortunate Stockton surrenders
Another Game to the "Cripples"
of San Francisco.

SAN Francisco. August 22d.-The Oak
lands were terribly muddled on their own
grounds to-day. They had their new East
ern pitcher in the box, but the Senators
won by score of 20 to 5.
1t was a nice game for three innings.
Then Shaw grew unsteady, the Senators
began to hit, and Oakland to make errors.
The Jig was then up with the Colonies.
Shaw has plenty of curves, shoots and
speed, but judging by to-day's game he is
an inferior pitcher to Carsey and Cobb.
The fielding of the Senators was fair to
the latter part of the game, when the visit
ors put up ragged ball. But they were too
far ahead to lose. Score:

noon, fifteen special officers were appointed
to serve during the State Fair, but as an
agreement could not be reached as to what

trip to San Jose.
Yesterday, on his return, Mayor Com
stock was asked by RECORD UNION re-
porter when the Commissioners would
meet again. He replied that he did not
know there was to be another meeting. He
considered that the fifteen men appointed
would serve, and as far rs he was con-
carned he did not see that there was any
necessity for another meeting.
Chief Drew said it was understood by
the three Commissioners that another
meeting was to be held. The list of names
announced did not suit him.
