SENATOR EDMUNDs evidently does not
believe that the majority should rule.
He opposed the Samoan Treaty, but it
passed in spite of him. Many days after
he called the mstter up again, and ex-
hausted yesterday all parliamentary tao
tics in making motions to reconsider the
matter, and when he was worsted at all
points he threw up his hands and resigned
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
as little boys do when they are beaten at
a game. The aged Senator from the
Green Mountain State evidently sees the
sun setting on his Presidential aspira-
tions for ever, and is soured at the spec
tacle. He must fear that Reed OF Maine
is the coming man in New England
politics of the Republican type. Reed
is a pretty good Republican. Party first

A BoodIer,s Plea Denied.

CHICAGO, February 6.-Governor Fifer
today refused to pardon Michael Ley
den, one of the Chicago Doodle commits
sioners, now at Joliet prison. Leyden's
prayer wac that the time he spent in

Supreme Court, should be applied to his
prison sentence. The Governor declined
to take that view. Next Monday, how
ever, Leyden, with all the other boodls
convicts, Ochs, Varnell, Wasserman and
Van Pelt, will be released, their terms
expiring that day. Leyden's plea for
pardon was to enable him to regain his

COLORED CITIZENS.
They Demand Their Rights Under
the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, February g. The
Colored Mems Convention today elected
ex-senator Pinchback president of the
national organization, and issued an ad-
dress to the people of the United States.
Attention is called to the fact that pop
ular elections in many States in the
South are farcical formalities, where the
votes of colored men are suppressed by
violence or neutralized; themselves and
their wives, daughters, mothers and
sisters are made special objects of un-
friendly State legislation and compelled
to travel in filthy and inferior cars
colored American citizens convicted of
petty offences through unfriendly courts
are submitted while undergoing sentence
of said courts to cruel and inhuman
treatment.
"In addition, colored American citi-
zens, when suspected of having COM
mitted certain offences, and while in the
custody of so-called officers of the law,
are in many instances, and, as we be-
| lieve, with the knowledge and through
the connivance of said officers, cowardly
lynched and murdered. Our children in
many of the said States are not afforded
the school facilities to which they
are entitled. The labor system in most
of the Southern States is unjust and un.
fair, and colored Americans seldom, il
ever, enjoy fair or reasonable portion
of the fruits of their labor. They are
taxed without representation and COM
PEELED to obey laws they have no voice
in making" The address continues
political parties are the instruments
through which the will of the people is
executed. Our purpose is to so impress
upon the public mind the justice and
fairness of our claims. that no political
party Can safely afford to ignore them.
We urge upon the colored American
voters that the questions relating to gov.
ernmental administrative policy, we
should make secondary and subordinate.
without regard TO the attitude of the par
ties upon such questions. We feel it our
duty to support only that party, and only
such candidates as are known to be
friendly to our cause, until all political
parties will accord to us the rights and
privileges to which we are entitled uu-
der the Constitution and laws of the
land"
The address favors the Blair bill
placing Federal elections under Federal
control, and emphatically denounces
the bill for the deportation of colored
men.

AN OLD SOREs
A Libel Suit GrowI~g out of The
Campaign of ,S4.

Campaign of ,S4.
BUFFALO, February 6.-Evidence in
the libel suit of Rev. DIR. Bali for $25 900
damages, against the New York Evening
Post, growing out of the Presidential
campaign of 1884, closed today, and
counsel began summing up. Ball had
attacked Cleveland's personal character
publicly. and the Evening Post paid its
respects to Ball for having done 30. John
G. Milburn first summed up for the de-
fense. He said it was to be regretted
that the old feelings of 1884 were to be
raxed over by this minister in his greed
for money. The sction was brought for
defamation of character to get money,
when it appears tLat plaintiff has not
suffered at all, in either character or
purse. What an opportunity for min
lister to be gracious and say that, as the
campaign was past, be would let the
matter drop. But no; ne must drag
into court and rake up things painful tc
many. A minister should not preach
the gospel one day in the week and play
the part of detective the other six. AT
torney Moot for the prosecution began
his speech this afternoon.

AM ERICAN SHIPPING.
The Payment of Subsidies by the
Government Strongly Urged.

WASH h--,..vN, February 6.--Thefe was
a good attendance at the meeting OF the
American Shipping League this morn
ing. The report of the committee on
resolutions was adopted. The Farquahar
bill to promote American shipping by
Government aid, was endorsed. Addi-
tional resolutions urge Congress to make
immediate provision for seaboard and
lake defenses; hail with qualification the
acts of Congress for the rebuilding of the
American navy; recommend adequate
provision for the improvement of the
hsrbors and rivers of the whole country
concurrently with the restoration and
development of our ocean commerce, 80
that all sections and States of the Re-
public shall participate; United States
mails ought to be carried in American
ships under our own flag as soon as
practicable, consistently with certainty
and celebrity of service, and the Govern
ment should pay a just compensation for
this service, regardless of the price at
which other nations are willing to pro-
vide similar service.
Irving M. Scott, of California, called
the attention of the league to the i'm.
portance of subsidies. The United
States should follow the example of
England, France and Germany, and put
our shipping interests on an equality
with those of other nations.
Captain Joshua Slocum said the pres
ent was dark time for American ship
ping, and complained that the Govern
ment of the United States did not secure
redress for American seamen ill-treated
abroad.
Ex-Governor Stevenson, OF Idaho, an
nounced that the Territory he repre-
sented would stand by the league.
Mr.. Miller, of New Orleans, spoke in
favor of the subsidy bill; coal, sugar,
coffee and railroads enjoyed protection
from the Government, but whenever
efforts were made to extend this protec-
tion to the merchant marine call Rome
hoWled."

The Los Angeles Public Library has,
since it was reorgsnized and placed in
the care of the present managers, become
one of the most successful institutions in
the United States. The number of ap-
plicants for books has increased amaz-
ingly, and although the library is still
small the issue of books each month
averages 800 volumes. A good idea of
the popularity of our library can be had
from the Librarian g deductions from the
reports of other librarians. If we place
Los Angeles at 100, Omaha is 40; San
Francisco, 81; Grand Rapids. 81; De.
troit, 14116. This shows the vast differ.
enca between the thirst for knowledge
in this city and, say, San Francisco.
Our people are taking a great deal Of
pride in their Public Library, and well
they may.

AN UNSAFE RASTILE.
The San Francisco jail Con e mn cd
by the Grand Jury.

SAN Francisco, February g. The
Grand Jury today presented report of
their investigation into the condition of
the county Jail, undertaken after the
escape of Elk prisoners last January.
The jury say that while they find at the
time Of such escape there was a general
looseness and lack of watchfulness on the
part of the officers of the Jail, they have
not found that any officer charged with
the custody Of the escaped prisoners,
fraudulently contrived at or voluntarily
permitted such escape. The Jail is
utterly unfit for the purpose for which it
is used. The walls are rotten and
crumbling, and that perhaps half a dozen
determined men on the outside could
under cover of darkness, cut through the
walls in less than fifteen minutes, and
effect general Jail break,

late tonight. Theodore F. Jackson,
City Comptroller of Brooklyn, had
been at a bar association reception.
He was on his way in car.

coupe by running alongside, and tried to
knock the driver off his seat with club.
The driver lodged, however, and suc.
ceeded in distancing the ruffians.

How important the orange industry is
to this eection, may be seen from the fact
that Tustin growers will receive 100000
for their crop this year. Tustin is G
small village, suburb of Santa Ana,
the county seat Of Orange county. 1t is
a most charming little place, with its
neat and comfortable cottages embowered
in fowering shrubs and orange trees.
Well may the orange growers home
wear an air of comfort about it, when
100000 is distributed among few dozen
OF them for one years crop. That
amount of money would pay for wheat
in Illinois or Kansas to the extent of
100000 bushels. At Is bushels to the
acre, that would be the product of nearly
14,000 acres, or of more than 5000
40-acre farms. The orange groves about
Tustin amount to less than 500 acres,
and are owned by about one hundred men.

Developing our resources.

We are getting down to business in the
developing of our resources in really
determined spirit that ensures ultimate
success, and at a near day. This state
ment is true of many branches OF indus
try, but not of all. In speaking OF these
matters, it must be remembered that
this section is in state of embryo as to
the distinctive enterprises which separate
us from all other sections. Everything
done has been to large degree tentative
and experimental. We are getting past
that stage. In fact we have got past it,
and know now to close degree of Ger.
tainty how to proceed along the fine lines
of enterprise our peculiar climate and
soils permit of and call industry and
capital to take up. With this reaching
of point of certainty as to what is best
to do and how it is best
to do IL, comes a natural re-
assurance and confidence of mind the
result Of which is great activity. 1t is to
this state of gertrude that the boom in
orange planting is due. No year in the
history of Southern California will at all
compare with the current one in the
matter of planting citrus orchards, for
the activity is extending to lemon trees
as we'll as the orange. From years oi
experiment it is well known now just
where to set orchards to get the best
results; what varieties do best and pay
best, and just how they should be
cared for.
There are other matters to which the
same remarks apply with equal force.
At Pomona some three years ago large
cannery was put up to pack the decidu'
GUS fruits of that district. 1t was to
a lamentable degree failure.
The fruit was there, and the mar
ket for it existed at the East,
but those who managed the con.
Germ lacked in some respects the ex-
perience or business acumen necessary
to make the thing successful, even
where all the elements of success were
at hand. Last year others took the
plant in hand, and did better with it, to
such degree that this year it has been
leased for a term Of years to firm OF
this city, who propose to enlarge the
facilities for packing fruit to such an ex-
tent as will enable them to
take care of all the decidu-
GUS fruits of the district in question.
This firm is composed of business men
of experience, who are not taking leap
in the dark. They have contracted with
dealers at the East to take large por-
tion of their pack for several years. The
fruit crop of the country east of the
mountains this year is almost universally
ruined by the unreasonable weather of
the current winter, and the market for
California fruits is certain to be excel.
lent.
These features of the future that lie
right before us are very pleasing to con-
template. Only two of them are pointed
to in this article, but there are many
more of them whose bright characteris-
tics are quite as obvious as these. There
are many other lines of enterprise in
which the progress is not go marked as
these, but which lie through regions oi
prosperity quite as alluring to enterprise
and capital. They are attracting
much attention and will in a short
time manifest the same degree of pros
porous progress.
