IHumbollt Times, November 12t.

tHCmbol1t ItIneE, November 12tl.l
The Sacramento papers have been do
ing excellent service for the State in call
ing attention to the large land holdings in
Tehama, Butte, Yolo. Colusa, Sacra-
mento and other interior counties. 1t is
safe to say that there is not county
north of San Francisco which is not re-
tarded more in its development from this
one cause than most others combined.
Humboldt is no exception to the rule.
Large land holdings injure us in many
ways that are not readily comprehended.
Besides preventing settlement and in
creased production, the large tracts are
an obstruction to Improvement. AS
rule small holders want roads opened up
and are willing to sacrifice something to
secure transportation facilities. On the
other hand large holders usual oppose
improvements Of that nature and demand
of the county exorbitant damages for
right OF way. They even put in claims
for cost of fencing in places where no
fence is required, and in fact would he an
injury 10 them. Some Of the people in
Southern Humboldt that are desirous of
road improvement have determined that
fences must be built where the owners
receive pay from the county for that pur-
pose.

Important Decision Rendered by the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IG.-The Supreme
Court of the United States granted the ap-
plcation for writ of ccFtorari to compel
the Circuit Court for the district cmbrac-
ing the Pacific Coast TO certify to this
court the case of Ian Ow Bew, the Chi
nese importer of Portland, Or, who was
refused admission to the United States
after u brief visit to China.
The court, III an opinion by Chief jus
ticG Fuller says it viii be seen that The
case involves the construction Of the
Chinese Restriction Act aud the treatis S
between the United States and China.
The Chinese Restriction Act, as amended
for the identification Of Chinese other
than laborers, who We're entirely eX-
cluded. in the mode provided sole eyi-
dence of their right to enter the United
States. Manitestly the question involved
as 10 whether the Act should be con-
strued in view of the treaties is one of
gravity and Importance. and involves q
matter Of international concern. The
case, it holds, has no connection with the
Chinese case heretofore decided, and re-
lied upon to exclude Bew, for the reason
that III that case the man was laborer,
and not merchant. The court is, there
fore, OF the opinion that sufficient
grounds have been shown for a writ of
ceTtiorari.

The Course Of the Civil Service Com

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-In the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
to-day demurrer in the case of the
United States against Charles Newton,
charged with violation of the Civil Serv-
ice Act, was overruled, and the case went
to the Criminal Court for trial.
Commissioner Thompson of the Civil
Service Commission this evening said
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
III the case OF Curtis, held that the law
fOrbiddiDg Government employees to So
licit or receive from each other money for
political purposes was constitutional, but
the decision rendered to-day goes much
further, and holds that all solicitations for
political purposes within Government
buildings are unlawful The effect. he
thought viii be to practically stop politi-
cal assessments, and leave Government
employees free to contribute or not, as
they see fit. The decision is complete
vindication of the course Of the COM
mission.

BosToN, Noy. 16.-The eclipse of the
moon last night was observed under most
favorable circumstances in this city, as
the sky was cloudless. At Harvard pho
tographs were taken, the plates being ex-
posed for five minutes-one, at the time
of the greatest totality, being exposed for
ten minutes. The plates were imme-
diately developed and examined, the
principal object of the observation being
to determine if possible whether the
moon has satellite. No sign of such a
body was discovered. Harvard has also
established an observatory in Arequipa,
Peru, where the search for a satellite is
also to be made.
Observations were also taken at Harry
ard Of the eclipse of one of the satellites
Of Jupiter. This eclipse began at 5:29

Too Much Dutch"

A Callaghan German dependent, made
himself DEsy tetIIng people 1na t,t Inc Ger
cause it was too Dutch,.' This individ-
ual. who no doubt is doing the bidding
and echoing the words of the Callaghan
crowd has only done the anti ticket SER
vice. Our German citizens are response
BILE for Callaghan; they must come to the
polls and aid the intelligent American
voters to get rid of him. Don't be fright
ened by the too much Dutch" cry.
The Americans recognize Mr.. Schramm
as a truer, better American
than his opponent. Capt, Schramm has
been a resident of Texas from boyhood, -
he like thousands of our young men fought
in the late war. His election will be a
triumph for.the Americans; let no German
voter hesitate for fear of the too much
Dutch"cry.

LET OUR TAXPAYERS CONSIDER
The Great Rate at Which our Deb,
il Growing.

The Great Rate at Which our Deb,
Is Growing.
The Erie Presse which is now a
paid mouth piece of the present city
administration, in 1883 called atten-
| ton to the speed at which our city
debt was increasing, to-wit: that in
1877 the city administration needed
SS4, 1859. 81, and in 1888 only ten years
after, nearly two and a halt times
that amount $205,5lS 81 And then
this same paper proceeded to call on
its readers to reflect on the large
bonded debt made for the eight years
preceding, towit: $3.50, 500.
We ask the readers of the Freie
Presse how stands the account now?
Will the editor of the Freie Presse
answer this question to his honest
readers? He dare not; he has the
price of his silence in his pocket.
Our debt has just dou bled from 1888
to 1891. 1t is now SLOTS 500, and to
run the government since 1888 the ex-
pense has more than doubled; in 1888
this running expense bill was $205, Sig,
this year it is $45S, 402.
And yet this paid organ holds up
this extravaganza, reckless admins
tration as the best the city can pos
sibly have.
Let our taxpayers think of it before
they cast their votes OH Monday. AT
this unchecked rate we will have in
less than two years more, one and a
half millions of debt and our running
expense bill will be-Quien Sale!
No initiation of our assessment-rOll
will save our taxpayers from a bur-
densome toe, far which they have
received very little benefit or satisfac-
ton outside of the glory of having q
political boss for mayor who has the
ambition to write his name sin letters
of gold"-all at the expense of the
people.
