CAPTAIN PRICE.
A Real Pioneer of California Is Visiting
Friends IN This CITY.

A Real Pioneer of California Is Visiting
Friends IN This City.
A reporter of The MORNING CALL visit
ing the Merchants Exchange last evening
was int reduced to John NJ. Price of Pismo,
San Luis Obispo County. The gentleman
is hale and hearty, although he admitted
being close upon so years of age. His eye
is clear. his face is as fresh as most men at
IS, and barring a slight difficulty of hear
ing, he is in complete possession of all his
faculties.
In the course Of few minutes converse
ton the reporter cleaned the following
facts concerning the life OF this real pioneer
1.-The Captain" as his friends call him,
was born in Bristol, England, in 1910
Being of an adventurous spirit he deserted
to go to sea, and was first sent to the Baltic
This experience did not suit his ideas of
nautical life. so he went on his next trip to
the South Seas on sperm whaler. He
liked this life so well that as soon as
he was paid off and had visited his
family he decided to keep on whaling,
and in 1928 he joined the bark
After successful cruise the vessel put into
Monterey a day or so before Christmas,
1929. The sight of this pretty place proved
too tempting to young Price, and he took
q hurried leave of his ship and quit the sea
forever. Alter varied experience in vari-
Gus parts of California Mr.. Price settled
permanently in San Luis 0bispo County by
marrying, in 1914, into the Gallon family
He has since lived the life of ranchero,
and has been noted for raising fine horses.
Captain Price and his wife became the
parents of thirteen children, and have only
lost one by death. The chief object of the
visit of Captain Price to this city was to
buy blood horse to replace one that was
killed on the race-track at Arroyo Grande
recently. He had running horse and
trottlng mare in training for the fall circuit.
On the day of the accident both animals
were out for practice. The horse was under
saddle, while the mare was driven in
sulky. While going at full speed in oppo-
site directions the spirited animals came
into collision, and the horse was killed in
stantly. His rider was thrown to the
ground with such force as to break three
ribs and to disable him for some time. The
mare luckily escaped, as well as her driver
Captain Price was much affected by the
accident. not so much on account of the pc
cuniary loss as the fact that he had given
the animal to one of his sons, and from his
extreme fondness for everything in the
shape of brute creatures. lie found fl
ting successor to his lost friend, and has
ordered it shipped at once to his Pismo
home place as another present to his boy.

ANTI-BUCKLEY.

The movement against Buckley in the
Democratic party is assuming large prOpor-
tions. 1t is already large enough to defeat
the Buckley ticket if its members do not
fall by the way. The talk on the street has
been and still is that Buckley will find
some means of placating the leaders. Men
who.do not charge the leaders with an excess
Of political ambition are counting on the
admitted party feally Of Democrats when
the day of election approaches. 1t is prob
able that the alternative Of compromise or
Democratic defeat will be presented to the
anti-Buckley leaders, and under such con-
ditions it is impossible to predict the exact
effect. The material exists for an anti
Buckley party that would sweep the NUM-
:cipal field. 1t is not possible. however, fol-
distinctively Republican organization to
combine with the anti-Buckley Democrats.
With just three tickets in the feld-Repub-
lican, Buckley Democratic and anti-Buck-

would stand much chance of success. But
if there should be a citizens ticket that
commands the confidence of the people,
upon which the voters dissatisfied with boss

CoPYnIGaT AGAIN.

THE CALL Is in receipt of a circular let
ter which is entitled COLLECTIONS to the
Copyright Bill Confronted" With the sug-
gestion that the word considered" is
more appropriate in the title to an argu-
ment, We will briefly consider some of the
points in this circular which seem to have
weight In respect to the objection to
international copyright that it would create
publishers monopoly, the reply is made
that the monopoly which the copyright bill
would create is exactly the kind of monop-
oily viii, exists by reason of the present
copyright law. The Constitution authorizes
Congress Ito promote the progress OF
science and the useful arts by securing for
limited times to authors and inventors the
exclusive right to their respective writings
and discoveries" No one is Directing to
the degree of protection the Constitution
authorizes and which Congress has pro-
vided. But why the term " limited times "
in the constitutional provision quoted? Ii
there is no real difference between property
in ideas and property in merchandise, why
does the Constitution prescribe that the
right conferred by Congress shall be for
limited times? The avowed purpose Of a
copyright is to do justice both to authors
author is fully compensated by the exclusive
right secured him in the country OF original
publication. But the publishers ask that
the author shall have exclusive right in all
the countries which may enter this inter-
national copyright agreement. To this the
reply is made that such exclusive rights
would be detrimental to the interests Of the
public. 1t would increase the cost of
of lr- 1Ntrf maid oUtbOTs
but by the larger profit that publishers
would charge if they have no competition
TO contend against A copyright book sells
in this market for 81 so to 81 IS, which as
republication would be offered for IS cents.
Does the author get the difrerenceP The
array of names attached to the publishers
circular would create the impression that
they think they get some of it, but most OF
them know that they get very little. Few
authors get more than 10 per cent, unless
they are their own publishers.
A proposition is made in the interest of
fair play which provides that Amy Amer
lean publisher shall be at liberty to print
editions of the works of a foreign author
under the condition of paying to such
author a royalty of 10 per cent of the retail
price" The publishers ring argue as
fercely against this proposition as they do
against the present law, or lack of law,
which permits an American publisher 10
print editions Of foreign authors works
without giving him any compensation at all.
Herbert Spencer is quoted as saying that
this would be decided interference with
the laws of trade under which the author,
like any other producer, had the right to
select his own agents and make his own
bargains" Ii the author were like any
other producer he would have the right Mr..
Spencer claims for him. But the author
at best is dealing in ideas that were COM
mon property when he discovered them.
Our Constitution does not recognize his
right to the complete ownership which he
may acquire in material property.

SOUTHERN IRON.

The Cincinnati Bee prints an excellent
article on the effect of free trade in iron.
from which we take the following pithy
paragraph:
The iron that Alabama produces Is laid down
in Pittsburg for less than the Pennsylvania
smellers can sell at. This competition has cut
prices, favOrlug conditions have established
great industry in the South, and Birmingham
iron from Alabama Is going into tile rolling mills
and foundries OF the country, while the tariff, so
far from making 1t dear, has fostered domestic
competition and thus made 1t cheap.
This is a statement OF facts from which
there is no intelligent dissent. But this
Alabama iron, cheap as it is, is not so
cheap as foreign iron. If the duty should
be entirely taken off iron ore, the Southern
iron mines would be subjected to very
severe strain. Whether they would survive
the competition that would ensue is mat
ter that can be determined only by trial.
The present duty on iron ore is IS a ton.
This degree Of protection would enable the
great smelling works of Ohio and Penn
sylvania to compete with the foreign prod
uct, but the Alabama product is placed in
the same markets at rates below the foreign
cost with duty added. 1t Is clear, there
fore. that free iron would injure the South
more than it would the North. The Temov-
al of the duty on iron might close Ohio and
Pennsylvania iron mines, which are now
hardly paying, but 1t would also affect
in the South which can produce ore at
lower cost than the mines of the Central
States. In New England, where there are
no iron mines, the iron manufacturers
naturally want the cheapest iron that can
be offered. Tie free-trade party base
hopes Of carrying some of the New Eng
land States in 1892 on the ground that the
New England iron manufacturers prefer
to import iron at cost without duty rather
than pay little higher price for the
American product. The protectionists
hold that the iron industry should be pro-
tected. If there are localities which can
not compete with other localities in the
manufacture of iron, the former are in the
same condition as localities which some
years ago discovered that they could buy
grain cheaper than they could raise it. For
many years the North was the greatest
beneficiary from our tariff system. The
time has now come when it is doing for the
South what it has done for the North. 1t
seems odd under these circumstances that
the party which claims to be the especial
friend of the South should advocate a
policy that would check, if not destroy, the
rising industries of that part of our common
country.

STATE SECRETS.

Mr.. Dingley of Maine thinks that Mr..
Blaine may decline to send the correspond.
ence on the Behring Sea question to the
House on the ground that the divulgence
of state secrets would be detrimental to
the best interests of the negotiating parties.
The English Foreign Minister refused to
transmit the correspondence to Parliament
for similar reasons. 1t is not difficult to
understand how publication Of CORE
spondence devoted to the discussion OF the
lines upon which final agreement might
be reached should be prejudical to sue
cessful completion of negotiations. In both
countries there would be people opposed to
any settlement that is possible of attain
ment Unless Mr.. Blaine should have
everything his own way the Democrats
would charge him with having receded
from ground that ought to have been main
tanned, and if Mr. Blaine was clearly
getting the better of his opponents the
English opponents of the present Ministry
would sound the alarm. AS any agreement
that may be reached will have no force
without the assent of the United States
Senate and the English Ministry, there is
no apparent danger in permitting the nego-
tiators to keep what they consider state
secrets to themselves.

A PIGS PRkDICAMEN


Found Wedged in an Ore Chute at the
Gould 6 Curry.
The loud and incessant squealing of a
200-pound porker this morning attracted
the attention of persons passing in the VIZ
cinity of the Gould & Curry mine ore-dump,
and investigation led to the discovery that
a pig had got wedged in one of the ore
chutes. AS no other theory could be III
vented to account for the presence of the
porker in the chute the conclusion was in
evitable that it had been run out with a car

dumped into the 0re-house. Through the
