MORE JUDGE-MADE LAW.

The decision of Judge Sawyer declaring
the license ordinance null and void is based
upon the assumption that the Police Com
missioners may be, if the present board is
not, unfit persons to be intrusted with the
power of granting licenses. The ordinance
permits the Police Commissioners to issue
licenses TO retail liquor or 10 deny applica-
tons for licenses In the event of denial
the applicant is required to produce before
the Commissioners the recommendation OF
twelve real-eState owners in the block IN
which the applicant proposes to open his
liquor saloon. This seems like sensible
ordinance If the Police Commissioners re-
fuse to issue a license the applicant can get
one over their heads if he can get twelve
owners of real property in his bio to stand
behind him. But the Federal Judge gives
as a principal reason why the ordinance
should not be sustained the fact that under
the ordinance the board might issue licenses
to rogues and vagabonds and withhold them
from comparatively respectable applicants.
1t seems to US that this reasoning strikes at
a Judgment Of power anywhere. Under it
might we not withhold from judges the
right to declare what is law on the ground
that Judge might make unjust decisions?
The presumption is that competent men Will
be appointed as Poll Commissioners.
While this presumption may not always be
realized, there is no ready way to avoid lax
ing the chances. 1t is true also that judges
may make unjust decisions, but the necessity
of a tr bunal empowered TO decide disputes
is so urgent that we take the chances OF bad

PRETTY GOoD ADVICE.

Mr.. Muudella, close friend of Gladstone,
advises Englishmen not to howl against the
Mckinley Tariff Bill. He admits that En-
glishmen can no more resist any legislation
of the American Congress than American
workmen can resist any legislation OF the
Brithish Empire. This is about all the
sense there is in Mr. Muudella's speech as
reported on the Mckinley bill. He says the
manufacturers have got command of Con-
gress and are using it solely for their own
purpose This will be news to New Eng
land manufacturers. The most effective
opposition to the Mckinley bill comes from
New England manufacturers who want free
raw material. They want free iron ore and
free coal. Deputations of manufacturers
have visited committees in the two Houses
which have the bill in charge, and repre-
scented what they conceive to be their in
terests, but the Mckinley bill places import
duties on these products. The distinguish
ing feature of the Mckinley bill is the pro-
lection it affords the products of field and
forest 1t is not by any means manufac-
turers' measure. If the Republicans are
defeated in an appeal to the people this fall,
it will be because of the opposition of large
manufacturing interests to the duties on free
raw material. Mr.. Mundella thinks the
Mckinley bill will prove injurious to Amer
lean consumers. Englshmen who ma
themselves shut out of the American market
manifest much sympathy for American
consumers. They are concerned lest high
protective tariff may have the effect to so
raise prices TO American consumers That
they will consume American products
That sympathy began to manifest Itself
when the policy of protection was first dis
cussed in the United States. Our experience
has been that if prices were advanced some
what at first by protective tariff home COM
petition soon reduced prices to the cost oil
production with reasonable profit added.

NEWSPAPER LOTTERIES.

The New Haven Euening Register,
journal published in the heart OF New En-
gland, comments as follows upon newspaper
lotteries:
1t is not to be supposed that the promoters OF
these newspaper lotteries intend TO disregard
the law. Their motive is TO sell newspapers.
When newspaper finds that its circulation Is
waning that the public do not demand the
paper Tor its news value, that Its Inherent worth
does not command a wide sale, IL resorts 10
species OF lottery in order 10 boom its circnla-
ton and Induce people 10 buy. This is done by
printing In every issue what are called guessing
blanks or coupons The buyers OF the paper are
allowed TO I'LL out these coupons and send In
their gueSSeS. After a time the newspaper
agrees TO award certain prize to the best guess
ers. The prizes are generally small sums OF
money. The newspaper expects to sell more
than enough papers to pay the cost OF these
prizes by reason OF the fictitious and unnatural
demand created by the offer TO award prizes.
The scheme originated with a newspaper in
New York which is notorious for its schemes TO
prop up failing circulation. 1t Is as Tar from
legitimate journalism as the Louisiana Lottery
is from legitimate trade. The newspaper which
adopts it coufesses that it cannot compete In the
open market on its merits with It's rivals. III IS
a desperate attempt to sell nothing and get
something for 1t. The only newspapers which
resort TO it are the fake" variety.
In England the fake" newspapers have
become so offensive that the authorities
have taken them in hand. The London
correspondent of the New York Christian
AdUOcdte writes as follows:
very important step in the direction OF put
ling down gambling has been taken by the Gov
eminent. For some time the newspapers. n
their advertising columns. have offered prizes
for competitions. These competitions In which
the public have been invited to take part. have
not been literary or In way educational.
They have been OF the nature OF The lotteries;
they have not depended on the skill OF the COM
petitors, but on sheer chance, and they have UNI
doubleday fostered The spirit Of gambling which
has been rapidly spreading among all classes.
Such competitions are now declared to be Illegal,
and strong blow has been struck at what
threatened to be very grave evil.

THE COPYRIGHT ELL.

An effort will be made in the closing days
Of the present session Of Congress to bring
up the Copyright Bill. which has once been
voted. down. The New York Times says
the danger to the bill lies in the apathy OF
those who have paid but little attention TO
the questions involved, and adds that Iron
being the most sensitive people with respect
to the opinion held OF US by foreigners. we
are in fair way to prove the most thick
skinned, and this matter of international
copyright is case in point" The trouble
about the copyright law proposed Is that
under preteXt of compensating foreign
authors for their work it creates n publish
erS' trust that VIII cause All advance in the
prices of books. One of the provisions of
the bill is that an American publishing firm
must obtain the consent Of the foreign
author before the firm can reprint his work.
This provision implies restriction of the
right to publish a foreign work To single
firm. There will be under this proposed in
teGnational copyright law 10 more compeu-
ton in foreign works than there now Is III
American works. Publishers are working
to bring about this condition of things in
the face of the fact that American books
protected by copyright are sold in our mar
ket al three times the price Of foreign WORKS
of similar character. Let no one suppose
the author gets this difference. lie may get
five OF ten cents on the dollar, but not more.
A way las been suggested by which the
authors may be compensated for their work
without creating a publishers trust 1t is
proposed that publishers shall procure
stamps of the author If denomination cor
responding with the market price of his
work. Reprints without the stamp are 10
be made unlawful. But The advocates Of the
Copyright Bill do net favor this proposition.
There is no monopoly created by the stamp
method. Any publisher can reprint work
by procuring stamps of the author. If there
is great demand for foreign work and the
publisher that first reprints it holds the
price al unreasonable figures, another pub
li,hrr can buy stamps and issue a reprint.
The only condition will be that he pays the
foreign author Tor the stamp that makes the
issue lawful. But this method of compen-
sating authors does not suit the advocates
of an international copyright act. Nothing
but a law which gives the American pub
Usher a MONOPOLY Of any work he may ar
range with the author TO produce In this
country will suit their ideas of fair dealing

LANIl ES.

Undoubtedly one reason why California
does not grow faster in respect 10 population
is the comparatively high price of land.
People who live where a hundred acres of
land are required TO support family cannot
realize that they may better their condition
by selling their 100 acres at S25 per acre and
buying with the proceeds twenty-five acres
in California. Yet, il lands in this State were
bought with judgment. the exchange would
be greatly to the adva$age either of the
Eastern or Western farmer. The orchardist
who realizes 500 year an acre FROM his
land is not exceptional. Very many do
much better. But we can divide that sum
by two and still find greater profit in a
California orchard of twenty-five acres than
in Western farm of 100 acres. OF course,
no orchard in good condition can be bought
for S100 an acre. -Four hundred an acre is
nearer the average. though there are orchards
for which $500 and 5000 have been refused
the present season. But good orchard land
may be bought for 500 an acre and convert
eu into orchards for about $50 an acre, in
Guiding interest on money during wears of
idienesS, labor and cost of trees. To men of
small means the pinchng time comes in the
Tour or i've years while the orchard is grow
ing. But a purchaser may start With setting

Tons OF FRUIT.

Freight Agent Smurr of the Southern
Pacific estimates that during the fruit sea-
son Of 1S9O-91 not less than 10000 carloads
of fruit, fresh, dried and canned, will go
from California for consumption in the
East. If we assume that each car contains
ten tons, this would represent an export
from the State of 100, Geo tons offruit during
a single year. About 1900 tons of green
fruit have already been SHIPPED from Sac
ramento, an increase of nearly % per cent
over last year.
This is a remarkable showing for an in
dustry which is not much more than ten
years old. The total shipments of ono Of
the Oldest and most productive fruit regions
of Europe through the port Of Malaga only
amounted in the best year on record to
about 24,oOO tons Of raisins, besides few
oranges, lemons and grapes. California
will nearly equal that this year, and in a
few years it viii surpass it.
All over the world fruit-dealerS measure
fruit by the box. by the pound or by the
bushel. Here we measure it by tie ton.
The other day it was stated in the papers
that cur apricot crop would amount to 10000
tons. An Eastern visitor was amazed at the
statement. He said he could understand a
heard Of a ton of apricots? Was there so
much Of the luscious fruit in all the world
If California ships 100000 tons Of fruit
this year to the East it is rcckoned that the
export will yield, gross, to the State some
thing like 100000, which is not very
much less than the gross product of our
wheat shipments i'll some years. And the
difference between the two is that the fruit
export is certain to increase, while the wheat
export is not. Each year witnesses the con-
version OF certain proportion of wheat
land into fruit land, and it is fair to assume
that the conversion will continue.
The point Of this development is its bear
ing on the growth Of the State. Tie true
measure of State growth is the money value
OF its chief products. States like Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska, which only produce
two or three articles, which command so
low figure in the markets of the world
that it is often question whether it is worth
while to grow them at all. cannot possibly
advance as rapidly in wealth and popua-
ton as States whose products yield $50 or
more to the acre. In the long run men will
plant their tents where labor applied to the
soil will yield the largest income. And in
this respect there is no State in the Union
which can compare with California.

There Is good deal of political shrewd
ness In the manner in which Blaine's recj
procity proposition is being opposed. Nobody
says that reciprocity is not a good thing. On
the contrary the movement is TO get as mpch
of it as possible. Reciprocity all round
amounts to large reduction or a repeaI of
the tariff. Reciprocity all round also sug-
gests 10 Congress the inutility of considering
tariff laws. OF what use 10 pass general
law if it is to be rendered imperative by ex-
ceptions? Mr.. Blaine proposed reciprocity
with certain nations upon certain conditions
His idea was that as sugar was put on the
free list in the House Tariff Bill it would be
good policy to make the removal Of duties
on that article contingent upon reduction
of duties on American products by the
countries from which we import sugar. Con-

seemed chance to increase our exports to
the;countries with which we might make re-
ciprocal trade arrangements. But Blaine's
reciprocity idea has been twisted out of
shape. Senator Hale proposes to extend
reciprocity 10 all the products Of South and
Central America. Senator Sherman pro-
poses reciprocity with Canada. 1t is doubt
full if Senator Sherman contemplates be-
coming responsible for reciprocity with
Canada. 1t is more likely that he intro

procity delusion which has acquired such

to their relief, rescuing 800 shipwrecked men.
1t is claim ed that had not this timely relief been
afforded fully nine-tenths OF the shipwrecked
mariners would have persisted. The Iescuing
vessels lost the benefit Of the whaling season,
