THE LAST DAY.
a Nice Little story with Nice Little
Moral.

A Nice Little story With = Nice Little
Moral.
The editor of the Grass Valley
Herald has tired of appealing by
mournful editorials to his delin-
quent subscribers. He is on a new
tack now. Here is his latest:
1t was the evening of the last
day of the world. The heavens had
been rolled together like scroll,
the seals had been opened, the last
trump had been heard. The righte-
Gus people of the earth had been
gathered to the fold and the un-
righteous had been sent down into
the bottomless PIT, divided into day
shifts and night shifts, and set to
work digging sulphur for the old
serpent, who was chained for q
thousand years. There was dark
ness upon the earth; the sun, COW
cred with sackcloth and ashes, had
sunk from sight, and the moon, a
blood-red ball, was hanging low
above the horizon. There was an
awful silence. The earth had been
turning slower and slower upon its
axis, and there was reason to ex-
pect that it would soon stop alto
gether.
Alone In that vast solitude, with
his haggard features dimly lighted
by the crimson rays of the blood
red moon, with frozen tears upon
his checks, and a wild, hungry
look in his eyes, sat one man upon
a stone. The last man. The only
man on all the deserted earth,
waiting for the final throe when
the world would become defunct
body, dead sphere.
Suddenly there was soft whir-
ring of wings, and an angel sped
down through the vast space of the
infinite realm, and alighted by the
side of the forsaken man.
"Why are you here?' asked the
angel.
"Why did you not follow the
procession when 1T left for the
pearly gates of heaven?"
"Alas !" said the man.
"Why," said the angel, "did you
linger here ? Was it because you
loved the earth?"
"No," said the man.
"Was it," continued the spirit,
because you were ashamed, or
proud, or undeserving 2"
"No, no !" cried the unfortunate
man.
"Then," said the angel, "what
was it ?"
"Alas!" groaned the man. "I'm
a country editor, and l was starved
to death by my delinquent sub
scribers. / could not follow the
procession. / was too weak. /"
But the angel stopped him.
Tenderly he took the editor up
under his arm, and swiftly he float
ed through the space, up and up,
until he reached the pearly gates.
A whispered word to st. Peter and
the gates few open. There was a
burst of celestial melody, and ray
of celestial light shot forth and
shone forever through the awful
voids of space. At the same time
there came up from the bottomless
pit wall of most horrible agony.
The old serpent was logging the
delinquent subscribers with his
| tail.

TEle FundinG ESik2.

The welcome news came from Wash l,gtou this week that Governor Wo,- dey's Funding bill for Arizona's has passed Congress. The following synop- sis of bill Is taken from the AriSOnu Rep@6Jican.
 Few probably understand the i'm mediate relief this act will give. There are outstanding about S600,OUO in warrants that bear 10 per cent interest. This includes Territorial, County City and. School Districts. These will be at once funded in bonds bearing , per cent. interest, thus making saving of per cent. within the next year on S6UO.00O or $3O, ,oO0. rhe average tax, Territorial, County, etc, is fully per cent. on about S3O,- 900, 900 of valuation, equal to S9OO, 0OO, nearly all of winch IS pald out annually Ill warrants bearing 10 per cent. interest.
 This funding bill places us on a cash basis, beginning with January |, 1891. That IS, all debts for 1890 ana prior years will be funded, and the taxes assessed and paid in 1890 will, every dollar of it, be available for the year 1891. By paying cash instead of warrants there will be annually a saving of 10 per cent. on $9OU,OOO or $90, ,0O0-less 5 per cent. on the s6O0, 1000 funding bonds issued to take up warrants equal to $30, ,000-leaVlug a difference annually of S60,009.
 The purchasing power of the S900,- 900 ot warrants issued annually IS not more than 90 cents on the dollar, which will make an annual difference to the people to whom the warrants are issued of $45, ,000.
 There are about $500, 900 of bonds, Territorial and others, that can be funded at once at saving of fully ? per cent. or Sl0,OO0 annually, and about $2,5OO,OOO that can all be funded within about five years at a saving of fully 3 Der cent. or S75,0OO The results for the fiscal year as thus given can be tabulated as follows: saving on s6OO,OOO outstanding warrants SSo,0OO Saving on 100000 annual w..rrants . ,oO0 Saving on 100000 difference for cash .. 45 LOO Saving on 5OO,OOO difference ill interest on

The beet-sugar industry has been developed to. such an extent that half the worlds supply of sugar is now 7,sedrosR from heets. and the cost of production has decreased until Europe can compete with the best caue-sugar districts ln the world This develop ynent aas been caused by Gov ernmental aid. Whatever objections there may be to bountless the fact re- mains that they have made the beet sugar industry what it is. It has taken over century to build up the beet sugar industry in Europe, but it need not take one-twentieth part of that &ime to establish it in the United States.

A CANNERY SCHEME.
An Establishment to Can and Pre-

There is plan on foot which seems
likely, from the character of the people
who are agitating the scheme and the
enthusiasm with which it is generally
adopted, to come to successful issue, to
start some sort of co operative cannery
and fruit-preserving concern in this city.
1t has been under discussion among q
number of prominent business men and
capitalists who are anxious to do
oil in their power to bring up
the value of the fruit product of
this State. The plan is as yet in half
formed condition, and the names of those
who are working it will not be given at
the present time. 1t may be stated,
however, that the outlook is good for the
organization of a stock company with Los
Angeles capital, for the preserving and
canning of the frui. of this section
Further facts will be made known in a
