FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 19.-Dr +. o. Vim
cent, who murdered his wife yesterday
was seen in Jail by reporter today. He
talked lightly of the crime he had COM
mitted, and was apparently unmoved by
any sense of remorse. He very coolly
remarked that he had instructed a
friend of his to see that he was shot
bllndfolded, if he must be victim of
mob violence. He appeared to antici.
pate trouble in that direction, and
begged not to be taken from
Jail this morning for arraignment. Vim
cent was taken before Recorder Prince
this morning, and the time for his ar
raignment was set for next Tuesday at
10 q. m. The Jail is still guarded, and
the sheriff is using every precaution to
prevent mob violence. Pickets are
stationed on the outside to give the
alarm if necessary, and all lights are
turned out in the Jail. The body OF
Mrs. Vincent will be sent to Colusa, to-
morrow, for interment

NOW AND THEN. HERE AND THERE.

Bank of England discount rates, as
they run at the present time, afford
bit of study worthy of attention. The
rate few days ago was 6 per cent. 1t
runs pretty regularly at per cent. AS
late as dozen years ago the rate Of dis
count in Threadneedle street ranged at
to 3 per cent, p. being nearly the
regular rate. Ii we remember correctly,
it has not gone below per cent. in
year. and runs above that figure most of
the time. Now, if we cast our thoughts
over the range of interest in our own
country for some twenty years back, we
will find a change in the opposite direc-
ton. In New York and the larger
eastern cities, the rates of interest have
remained pretty steady for many years;
but those of US who are not
very gray or bald can recall
the time when interest at Chicago,
st. Paul and San Francisco ran at 15 to
Is per cent. If one compares long loans
and large amounts today in London,
New York, Chicago, St. Paul and Los
Angeles, he will not find so great diff
ference as used to exist. The rate in
London has advanced, and remains at
the rise. The rate in New York is rather
sitter than it was thirty years ago. The
rate in Chicago is materially less, and in
st. Paul it is much lower, while on the
Pacific coast it is about half what it was
twenty-five years ago. In other
words, there has been an ad-
justment. Civilization and mate
rial progress are no longer regarded
as at all tentative on the western hemi-
sphere, nor on the very western rim of
the United States. London bankers rec
ognize the fact that business in New York
is done on very conservative lines; Chi
'cago pork packers are regarded as pretty
solid men on change, and the lands of
Southern California, with their unparal
leled profits derived from their crops, are
held to be excellent security for loans
No longer is there kept in London an
immense hoard OF money seeking an
opportunity to earn two and one-half per
cent. interest. New Y ork is no longer the
absolutely controlling banking center of
our own country. Money seeking in
vestment finds it safe to wander far from
home, and thus there has been an adj
justment. Money in England is worth
or per cent. In New York it is some
what difficult to get over or & under
ordinary circumstances. In Chicago
money is nearly as cheap, and the same
is true OF St. Paul, while along the Pa
cifc coast, with tirst-class security, one
may borrow money at about per cent.
The range used to be from 21a per cent.
in London to Is per cent. in San Fran
cisco. Now it is only difference OF or
5 to 6 or per cent.

TOMATOES which sell in New York at
fifty cents pound, bring the growers in
the vicinity of Los Angeles one cent per
pound. That is nice little profit to
the toiling middlemen who earn their
bread in the sweat of their brow, as they
laboriously add up the column of their
profits. But then the growers are con-
tent, as theycan pick as much as twenty
tons from a single acre, thus making
$400 an acre from crop that grows, ma
lures and is sold in a few weeks. And
there is this comforting reflection to the
producers-they may expect to receive
as good price as one cent pound for
all time to come. Those who han
die the crop will be able to cut
down the margin of profit many times
before they would be in danger of going
bankrupt in the business. As the busi-
ness is developed, OF course, the price in
eastern cities will fall far below so cents
a pound. At that high cost the vegeta-
BILE would be mere luxury, obtainable
only by the very rich, and very small
quantity could be marketed. But at
10 cents pound in winter the consump-
tion would be somewhat general and all
we are able to produce will find ready
sale,

A PERSON not unknown to fame as Jay
Gould, isvery positive that silver should
not be restored to its immemorial status
of coin metal With coordinate value
with gold. ii this somewhat notorious
person has now had a conception that is
not at the core inimical TO the interests
of mankind in general, then it is the
first time in his life that such thing
has occurred. But such notion would
be violent one in its relation to sound
reason. The probability is extreme that
in this, as in all other conceptions of
this individuals cold and crafty Uranium,
his eye is on some other PERSONS prop
erty, which he would like TO transfer to his
own account. Any mortal of the non-mil-
lionaire status who heretofore has had
any doubt that the free coinage OF silver
would rebound to his benefit, ought to
dismiss at once all hesitation from his
mind, and begin at once to fairly whoop
for free silver bill. What Jay Gould
wants, the rest OF us had better not
touch, for it will burn our fingers; and
what Gould labels ''poison" for the
public eye we all should proceed to use
as our every day diet, with absolute GER
tainty that it will bring iatness to our
frame and the glow of health to our
cheeks. When Gould plays euchre-
and he always plays that game-he does
not lay his cards face up upon the table.
He keans his cards to himself with tho
bowers in his sleeve.

THE notion that when river breaks
out of its channel the persons damaged
by the overflow have not the right to
turn it back to where it belongs, is rather
diaphanous. 1t is not the notion of a
man with any practical knowledge of
what he is talking about; nor is it the
notion of any man with knowledge of the
law. 1t may cost too much to be worth
while, but if the land is worth protect
ing no one can hinder the building of a
leyee to restrain the water. The notion

Dubois Election to the United States
Senate Will Be Contested.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Dec. 19.-It is
stated here that the election of Fred T.
Dubois as third United States senator,
will be contested when the time arrives
for him to take his seat. His opponents
allege that his election is void on the
ground that such a procedure was a
violation of the resolutions of the house
and senate that they proceed to the
election of two United States senators,
to fill the existing vacancies, and that
the voting for a third United States sen
ator to fill long term is illegal, and
not in accordance with the United
States statutes.

WON ON A FOUL,
Joe Sheehy's Unfair Methods Give His
Opponent a Victory.

Sr. PAUL, Dec. ia prize fight be-
tween Pat Killen, of this city, and Joe
Sheehy, of Ashland, Wis, Queensberry
rules, for the northwestern heavyweight
championship, lasted about thirty-tive
minutes. Sheehy rushed at the start,
but fouled by striking below the belt,
while clinched. Killen got in good
blows, however, and would not claim
foul. Killen fell beneath Sheehy, who
proceeded to pound him while sitting on
him. The men were separated, and an
other clinch followed. Referee Moore
rushed in to separate them, and received
a punch from Sheehy that nearly
knocked him out. The police then
stopped the fight, which was decided in
Killen's favor on foul.

in the history of the rebubiic. He also
