When the warships of Chile and the
United States finally did face each other
after the famous but not very exciting stern
chase they really did nothing but exchange
few reciprocal snorts OF defiance and then
proceeded with the merry dance down the
coast of South America into Chilean waters.
just what good it does the world at large
70 have the Charleston chase the Itata
without ever virtually coming in sight Of
her is a conundrum that the world will
have 10 give up in pretty much the same
way that the Charleston will give up the
chase.

A Monument to jefferson Davis.


The appeal of the committee of the
Southern Press Association, published in
the MORNING NEWS last Sunday, for aid in
behalf of a monument to the memory of
Jefferson Davis should meet with liberal
response. The committee is to cooperate
with Senator John B. Gordon, the COM
mander of the Confederate Veterans Associ-
alton. The suggestion it has made for rails
ing money seems to be good one. 1t is
that in all parts Of the south the people shall
meet on June Is next and take the proper
steps 'to forward the enterprise of volun-
tary contributions or other methods which
they may deem best. "
That the people are willing to contribute
an amount necessary to erect a monument
to the memory of Mr.. Davis that will be in
keeping with his life and deeds and the
cause he represented there can be no doubt.
All that it is necessary to do to secure the
necessary amount is TO bring about united
and harmonious action. The people will
give, and give literally, to such an object.
Let some plan be adopted that will give
every one who feels the least desire to do so
an opportunity to contribute. and there will
be no difficulty in getting a sum sufficient
to make the monument movement sue
cessful one. And it should be understood
that any contribution will be received,
however small it may be. There are thous-
ands and tens of thousands of people who
cannot as well afford TO give a dollar as
others can to give hundred dollars.
What is needed as much as anything else
is a plan for making contributions The
reason there has not been more interest
shown in the monument project is that
there has been no system adopted for secur-
ing contributions and no particular effort
made to interest the people in the matter,
and the appeal which the committee of the
Southern Press Association has made will
pass UNDECIDED unless it is followed up by
practical and systematic work by influential
citizens in every county of every southern
state. In view of the fact that the people
are willing to contribute it will be rehec-
ton upon the sincerity of the south if q
monument Of which the southern people
would be proud isnot erected to the memory
Of Jefferson Davis in the near future.

this is case in which the lottery idea
could be utilized to great advantage. If
100000 pellets were placed in an urn,

the result of the drawing would be fairer

Officer Todd combines two very pleas

ever, Mr.. Todd is opposed to anything
too striking in his apparel. Yesterday
afternoon he was in Justice Austin's
court attending to some of his cases.
Constable Harry Johnson stood quietly
behind him and poured whole bottle
of Patchouli on the back of his coat. In
a moment everybody in the court room
was shifting and looking at Todd. The
officer did not know where the odor
came from, but he could not get away
from it, and it was so overpowering that
people fell away from him wherever he
went. He became moving monument

sMALL-BEER sTATKsMANsHIP.

The latest surprise in the Itata affair
is of piece with the blundering stupid
ity of the administration in every move
ment it has made in this humiliating
business. The cheap-john, pettifogging
action of great government in permit
ting its legal agents to enter into final
stipulations for the release of the vessel
on certain conditions, and when those
conditions were about TO be complied
with, springing new and ridiculously
,extravagant libel on the steamer: is as
small a piece of business as anybody
outside of an old junk-man could be en-
gagged in.
No wonder Judge Ross was indignant
when he learned of the contemplate
trick played upon the court and upon
all concerned in the adjustment of the
case. Even Hon. Alexander Campbell,
who had been selected to represent the
government in the proceedings, was kept
ignorant of the fact that q new libel
would be sprung as soon as satisfactory
bonds had been filed in the case, and was
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to find that he had been
shamefully trifed with by the United
States law department. We can well
appreciate the awkwardness of his posi-
tion when, after having just voiced elo-
quent praises of the Harrison govern
menta at little banquet given to the ap-
praisers and legal gentlemen who had
-. hn fn6
with the fact that papers for new libel
for $500, 900 damages were in the pock-
ct of the United States marshal, to be
served on the officers of the Itata.
What wretched twopenny business
it is!
Not only have we grossly offended the
sense of justice of the new government
of Chile in this matter, but the admin
istration has succeeded admirably in
opening the old. sore caused by its orig
inal blunder.
And what is the government to gain
by it's small-beer action in this matter
No court in Christendom would award it
damages for capturing the Itata. 1t had
no case to begin with, and it certainly
did not improve its legal status by the
wonderful detective voyage of the
Charleston.
On the other hand the commerce OF
the United States with Chile will be in
jured to the extent of millions OF dollars
by the prejudices raised against Amer
leans on account of our governments
contemplate action in this affair. Oh,
for one hour of good, old-time American
statesmanship

The engagement OF Nat y. Goodwin
began at the Grand opera house last
night, and the audience was large as
well as an appreciative one. The play
was the Gold Mine, in which Mr.. Good

which was soon warmed into applause
under his genial influence. The Gold

the dialogue is above the average in point

intensely amusing, Miss Amber display

THE Express, in its endeavor to show
that the HERALD miscalculated when it
said that the government not only paid
for the beets that went into the Chino
factory, but gave the owners thereof
sI.30, or 81 per cent, per ton on their
cost in addition thereto for receiving
the beets, goes to such an extent as to
reduce its position to an absurdity; for,
according to it's reasoning, California
can never become a sugar-producing
state in fair competition with the rest OF
the world, for the reason that it costs
five cents per pound to manufacture
sugar here! Let US add to this the cost
OF the sugar in the beets, namely l.42
cents per pound, and we have total OF
6.42 cents per pound for raw sugar that
sells in New York for from three to
three and one-half cents per pound.
Again, add to this the cost OF refining,
as claimed by the Express, q of cent,
and we have the manufacturers cost
for refined sugar above 7.17 cents per
pound, for an article that retails in the
east for Al cents. The Express is
strangely silent about the reasons why
the Chino people pay only $1.25, or 10
per cent. less, per hundred pounds for
the excess of sugar in the beets, when
in fact they should pay more than at the
the minimum rate of $1.40. 1t
is one thing to claim that sugar
costs cents per pound to manufacture.
but quite another to prove it. If it
costs cents per pound to manufacture
beet sugar in California, let us have the
figures to prove it. How many tons of
beets can be put through the factory in
day? What is the daily output in
pounds? How much is the daily pay
roil7 What does the fuel cost? How
much does it cost to sack the sugar?
What and how much are the incidental
expenses? With these actual data be-
fore us it would be an easy matter to
make computation of the cost to manu-
facture sugar in California. 1t goes
without saying that farmers will not
furnish beets in this state to sugar fac
tories unless they get fair share Of the
profits, especially when a very large
part of the profits is derived from a
bounty which the people are taxed to
furnish. That these matters will regu-
late themselves later on when time has
had chance to work its adjustments,
we have no doubt. In the meantime,

DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
DIR. W. BEAUDoNNET DOES THE
DISAPPEARANCE ACT.
A Prominent Member of the French Col
ony Not Heard of for a Week-The
Theories Regarding the Matter.

Another well-known resident OF this
city has dropped out of sight, in the
person of DR.. w. Beaudonnet. The
doctor came here from the South of
France, where his wife and three chill
dren still reside, about two years ago.
He is an able physician, and possessed
of many attractive traits of chRracter,
and in consequence soon hadI J. good
practice and many friends. He was
selected as the physician of the French
Benevolent society, and occupied
prominent place in the French colony.
On Monday of last week the doctor
stated to some friends that he was going
that day to Long Beach, so when he did
not turn up for a day or two it occa-
stoned no comment, but his continued
absence caused remark, and system
attic search failed to show what had be-.
come OF him. Inquiry at the First Ma
tional bank showed that on the morn
ing of the day he disappeared he drew
his balance of $1,000, which fact is held
by his friends as evidence that he met
with foul play at the hands of some one
who saw him draw the money.
There are, however, few unsympa-
LueblC menDeI6 VI ING rIeuCn COlOIy
who think that the doctor has gone on
a sort of pleasure trip, and who connect
the simultaneous disappearance of
pretty Basque girl and the drawing of
the money and the sudden sale of the
DOCTORS horse and buggy with their
theory. At any rate he has gone and
has left no explanation.
