THE BARRUNDIA SURRENDER,

More light is wanted in reference to
the responsibility of Minister Miner for
the death OF General Barrundia. Ii he
authorized or rcountenanced his seizure on
an American steamer by the Guate-
malans, he will not be held guiltless of
Barrundia's death. 1t was well known
that if the Guatemalans could get him
into their hands they would make short
work of him. Barrundia was fully
sensible of this, for when Captain Pitts,
of the steamer gave him over to the
arresting party, who are said to have
shown a warrant from Miner, he knew
his life was gone, so he sold it as dear as
he could. But the singular part of this
whole affair is that we had two Ameri-
can gunboats in the harbor, and they
had been appealed to for assistance by
Captain Pitts and refused to pay any
attention whatever to his request. We
want more light on this whole affair.
1t looks black as it is.
1t looks not only black, but it looks as
if the American flag offered no protec-
ton whatever to the people sailing in an
American ship. Captain Pitts started
out right. At Champerico he resisted
every demand made upon him for the
surrender of his passenger. Had he
doggedly and determinedly continued in
this course after he reached San Jose,
and refused to surrender Barrundia at
all hazards, his would now be
the most popular name in America.
General Barrundia was San Sal
vadoran. He knew that it would be
death for him to fall into the clutches of
the Guatemalans. Hence when he saw
he was going to be delivered up to the
slaughter by the man who should have
protected him at any cost, he acted upon
natural instinct, and defended himself
as best as he could. Heis blamed for firing
at Captain Pitts. Why should he not
have tried to kill the man who was re-
sponsible for his safety and yet was Civ
ing him up to certain death? What
greater treason can be committed than
for host to surrender his guest to BAN
QlCS lnere nave DeeH American cap
tains who would have defied the whole
world and perished with their charge
rather than to have made so ignoble a
surrender as this.
We blush for our flag, bow in deep
est shame at the unworthy conduct of the
American naval officers who stood by
and permitted this act of seizure to go
on after they had been appealed to for
help,-we thrill with indignation at the
part an American minister played in
this unholy affair; and we look with
horror upon this whole business, in
which our flag has been spit upon, our
honor outraged and our vaunted prestige
made a toy for davis to peck at.

MAKING FREE WITH THE PEOPLES
MONEY.

The country will make a loud call
upon Harrison's administration for an
explanation of its recent conduct in the
Wall street money crisis. The stock
gamblers had got themselves into
hole. Many were short on wheat
which, with other grains, had made
great and sudden advance At the same
time the legitimate business of the
country was gathering in all the money
it could get for the purpose of paying
the duties on imported goods in bond
before the 1st of October, when
the Mckinley tariff schedule is
to 60 into force. All imports
not withdrawn before that date
will be subject to the new and higher
duties of the Mckinley scheme. The
money market, being pretty we'll de-
pleted by this process, the stock-jobbing
Shorts" in order to save themselves,
ran the rate of interest up to point as
high as 365 per cent. per annum. This
naturally brought on crisis which the
manipulators have magnified into a
panic, and Harrison and his Secretary
of the Treasury have rushed to the res
cue.
1t is in the methods they have
adopted to relieve the money market
that explanations will be demanded.
One of these is to call in four per cent.
bonds two years before they are due,
and to give the holders the benefit of
years interest that has not vet ac-
crued. Another is to pay out the in
terest on 100000 of government
skies one year in advance. What right
has Wind ON to make Wall street free
gift OF any interest not due? The
money is the peoples, for them to safely
keep, not to give away.
A remarkable feature of this monkey
ing with Wall street matters is to en-
courage the stock gamblers to become
more and more reckless, thinking that if
the worst comes to the worst they can pre-
vail upon the custodians of the public
moneys of the United States to come to
their relief.
1t is noticeable fact that the money
famine only exists in Wall street. There
is no scarcity in the West. We repeat,
the administration will be required to
show by what right it spends the money
of the people to avert ruin from stock
gamblers.

DEATH.
The Old Fellows August Harvest in
this State

Mortality statistics are of general in
terest; everyone is desirous of knowing
the chances of life or death, the causes
of the latter and the possibility of hold
ing on to the former. Then mortuarv
tables have an individual interest, for
the reader knows that inevitably some
day he will be factor in such calcula-
tions. 1t affords one an opportunity for
curious speculation where will you be
entered? In the consumptive column
or that devoted to heart disease, orfever,
or alcoholism, or death from violence, or
suicide? You can take your choice with
out paying your money.
For example, the report of the state
board of health for August last states
that in that period there were in the
state ,065 deaths This county had rs,
with an estimated population of 81, 900.
DR.. Gerard G.. Tyrrel, the secretary OF
the board, appends the following re-
marks:
Mortality reports received for the
month of August from ninety-six diff
ferent localities throughout the state,
with an estimated population of S06, 1850,
give the number of decedents as ,O65,
a monthly percentage of 1.32 per 1000 or
an annual mortality at the rate of 1884
per 1000, which is somewhat less than
that of the preceding month. The NOR
tality from cholera infantum and stom-
ach and bowel disorders continues with
out much abatement.
Consumption caused 157 deaths dur
ing the month, which is an increase over
last report.
Pneumonia had only forty-one deaths
attributed to it, which is a decrease of
ten from last month. Twenty-eight
OF these occurred in San Francisco, four
in Oakland, three in San Jose, the bal
ance in single instances scattered here
and there.
Bronchitis caused twenty-nine deaths !;
of these, twenty occurred in San Fran
cisco, three in Los Angeles, one each in
Vallejo, San Jose, San Bernardino, Sac
ramento, Oakland and Fresno.
Congestion of the lungs was fatal in
eleven instances.
Whooping cough caused three deaths.
Diphtheria and Group collectively
caused twenty-nine deaths; twenty-five
being from diphtheria and four from
Group. OF the former eleven occurred
in San Francisco, two in Los Angeles,
three in Alameda, four in Sacramento,
and one each in San Jose, Oakdale, Pas
adena, Cloverdale and Anaheim.
Cholera infantum is reported to have
caused seventy-six deaths in August,
which is only six less than in the pre-
vious month.
Diarrh9a and dysentery we're fatal in
twenty-five instances, which is a slight
decrease from last report.
Scarlet fever was fatal in two cases,
one in San Francisco and one in An
tioch.
Measles caused but one death, which
occurred in Hollister.
Smallpox caused no deaths.
Typho-malarial fever is credited with
three deaths.
Typhoid fever.-Twenty-eight deaths
were reported as caused by this disease,
which is a decreased number from the
previous month.
Remittent fever caused six deaths.
Cerebro-spinal fever is credited with
ten deaths.
Erysipelas caused no deaths during
August.
Cancer was fatal in forty instances.
Heart disease is credited with sixty
three deaths.
Alcoholism was fatal in twelve cases.
Deaths from causes not classified in
this abstract number 451.

LEGISLATURES are proverbially waste
full, profuse, extravagant. This has been
the history of nearly all legislatures in
this state under both parties. There is
so widely distributed responsibility in
large bodies of men that the restraint
of individual blame cannot be brought
to operate upon them. Whilst we can
not count upon economy in legislatures,
we can always oppose an effective check
to their extravaganza if we have a
governor who has honesty, intel
ligence and back bone. Water
man let the last legislature do as it
pleased, with the consequence that as
against $6,571 300 of appropriations for
the first two years of Stoneman's Demo
cratic administration we have appropria-
tions to the amount of $12,734,01 for
the last two years of Waterman's Repub-
lican regime. This too, it must be re-

The above club was organized with

LAID AT REST.
The Last Sad Offices Over the Re-
mains of 7. M. Duncan.

The funeral of Joseph M. Duncan, son
OF Joseph c. Duncan, the well known
pioneer, took place yesterday afternoon.
Friends of the widow of the deceased
came down from San Francisco to take
part in the last sad rites, and Los Ange-
les Lodge No. AZ, F. and AAM., OF which
he was a member, took charge of the
funeral. The pall-bearers were j. X.
Duncan, E. H. Freeman, Max Wass-
man, John N. Best, Chas. f. White,
Ed. Averill, George Dickson and Frank
Cooke. The remains were taken to
Evergreen cemetery, where they were
deposited in the receiving vault for re-
moval to the family plot in San Fran
cisco.
Joseph NJ. Duncan was born in San
Francisco, and was in his 35th year. He
was connected in business with his
father in the conduct of the Silver House
and had gained for himself fine repu-
tation as an energetic, prompt and re-
liable business man. Indeed he was
young man OF great promise, and had he
lived he would have made his mark as
one Of our most successful merchants.
His death was unexpected, resulting
from an illness of very short DURATION
and the shock therefore to his many
friends was as acute as it was sudden
The father is overwhelmed with grief at
this terrible bereavement, for in the loss
of his son he has lost the staff and the
shield OF his old age-the hope and
promise of his house. The bereaved
widow is stricken and inconsolable, and
the family are like an edifce from which
the chiefest prop has been ruthlessly
thrown down. The sympathies of the

5000, 100000 last year, and no less than
100000 dozen eggs were imported at
first cost of over fifteen cents dozen, or
nearly $2,500,000, while the average an
nual value of such importation during the
past four years has been 81, 212, 1926. Such
facts emphasize the necessity for encour-
aging the increase of domestic fowls Of all
kinds, and they further indicate, beyond
question, that this industry is important
enough to demand the special considera-
ton of this department. The economics
of rearing and feeding, the peculiar adapt
alton of the breeds to specific uses, merit
more official attention than has heretofore
been given" Edward Atkinson says that
the poultry product OF this country is
greater than the iron product. The fore
going, from two authentic sources, show
that that seemingly small industries are
not to be tabooed, for In them is found the
wealth of nations. Scarcely any product
pays better profit than eggs yet, accord
ing to Secretary Rusk, S2,500,000 is sent
abroad to supply this deficiency, which
ought to be produced in our own country
and the money kent at home, for every
dollar sent abroad is financial loss, and
when aggregating in the millions is seri-
Gus one. Farmers, awake and increase the
yield of eggs so as to meet this leakage.
To be a prosperous people our exports
should far exceed our imports, and to
bring this about requires the increased
production in this country of over 10000
600 dozen eggs annually. VIII you help
to do it and derive profit for yourself
and the nation ?-OTange Judd Farmer.
