The Meat Inspection Law To BE Put In
FOrce at Once.

The Meat Inspection Law To he Put In
rorce at Once.
The department OF agriculture Is get
ting ready to put In force the Federal
Meat Inspection law passed just before
the adjournment of congress. The sec
retary of agriculture Is authorized to APP
point inspectors, who are to inspect at
the slaughter houses and packing estab-
lishments and nowhere else. With every
package of the meat will go the certifi-
cate OF the United States that 1t was
taken from sound animal, that 1t Is
pure and wholesome, that states and cit
les must not attempt to examine 1t fur
ther. A cry Is being raised that the law
Is i'm the interest of the Chicago dressed
beef monopoly. This is moonshine. Mr..
Armour did approve the draft OF bill
which went through the senate, but Mills
and other state right democrats attacked
Ii with such vigor In the house that the
measure had to be Withdrawn. The bill
as finally passed was approved by the
department OF agriculture, and there is
nothing in it to which the strictest sup
porter OF state rights can object. 1t is
In the interest OF sound and healthy meat
products. The only gain of the Chicago
packers Is In having federal inspection
substituted for annoying and often con-
flicting state and municipal Inspections.

TnOusanus.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, March l9.-From the
poverty OF miner earning 81. so per day
yesterday morning to the prospective
possession In the evening of thousands
OF dollars was the financial stride en-
ioyed by c. Dimmick, OF this place.
When he returned, tired and dust-be-
grimed, from the mine to his humble
home in the evening, his wife thrust a
letter exultingly under his eyes and ex-
claimed: Charles, we are rich. We are
worth over $40, 900. Read It," With
this the excited woman sank weeping to
the floor. Dimmick wonderingly read
that his wife had fallen heiress to third
interest In an English estate
valued at 100000 and that she
should start for England at once.
Mrs. Dimmick's grandfather bequeathed
the property to her father, who was un-
able to take possession owing to q con-
tested will. Two weeks ago Mrs. Dim
mick received communication from her
sister In England to the effect that the
estate would soon be delivered into her
hands.

Another Tragedy Results.

There was sensational and fatal
shooting last night growing out of the
Italian case. Frank Waters newspa-
per reporter who was Intoxicated, was
abusing the citizens committee and those
connected with the Hennessy case when
Capt. Arthur Dunn, one of the counsel
for the state, came by. Waters shouted
to him: .'There Is one of them now;
why don't he take 1t up.''
Dunn advanced toward Waters, who
drew pistol and began firing. Dunn
quickly drew his. Waters fred six shots
and Dunn five. Waters fell dead with
one bullet through his face aud another
through his head. Dunn was shot twice
in the right breast and abdomen. He is
believed to be mortally wounded. The
men have for long time been political
enemies. Dunn for many years has been
leading politician.

1T would provoke mirth, if it were not
so humiliating to local pride, to note the
dense ignorance of the San Francisco
newspapers regarding the commercial
effect of the existing contract relation be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the At
lantic Pacific Railroads. 1t is matter
open and unconcealed, and has been all
these years; we had supposed that every
man capable of reading current news or
inquiring into and comprehending simple
commercial facts and putting them into
news items, knew of the relation referred
to. Yet now we have made patent that
the San Francisco journals are ignorant
Of the fact that the Atchison road has the
exact equivalent of ownership in an in
dependent track to San Francisco at less
interest cost upon the capital invested
than if it had distinct line of rails and
ties.
If there is a scrub reporter upon the
most provincial newspaper of the State,
who, set upon inquiry concerning a
simple town affair, would fail as have
the San Francisco journalists in this
matter, he would be kicked out of the
office by the printers devil.

insists, the remedy ii proposes is pre-

The State under the Times Democrat

hberately sell principle. barter conscience

THE BUILDING OF THE BOOTHS

Bids and plans have been asked for the
construction of voting booths. The bet
ter thing would have been to draw plan
and then ask for bids.
The matter is not one-half so difficult
as it would seem to be- There is no in
tricacy about the voting booths, nor
should they be costly. All that is needed
are two sides, some ten feet high, and a
cover of an inclusure about twelve feet
square-ffteen feet would perhaps be
better for the width. These sides and
the cover should be rough boards nailed
each upon two stout two-by three pieces,
one at the top, one at the bottom By
hooks with braces at the corners, or
other simple device, they can be locked
together.
Across the open front should be stout
guard-rail of dressed stuff with supports.
In its center, or at one side, there should
be movable or sliding piece TO serve as
gate. Six feet from this rail the table is
placed for the clerks and ballot-box, and
chairs for the election board. Across the
width at the back side of the Enclosure
should be shelf, say eighteen inches
wide, hooking or pinning firmly at each
end to the sides. From this shelf should
run up four permanent partitions some
three feet, with a back holding them to
place secured to the farther or upper edge
of the shelf, and they ought to be foot
wider than the Shelf so that the voter
will be screened from view of those either
side of him
Such booth set on the walk against a
house and hooked to it-and surely no
difficulty viii be experienced in securing
suchtplaces-can be taken apart in few
moments, trucked to depository aud
stored and be ready for use at the next
election, and so on for years.
Where locations can be secured beneath
awnings there will be no need for roof
or cover, except over the shelf section.
The cost of such booths may this year
exceed the rental of rooms, but next
springs rental and next falI's rental be-
ing saved, will more than pay for the
booths, and thereafter there will be no
cost except to haul the cleated pieces to
the places chosen and to hook them to-
gether.
OF course where's very large room with
several wide doors can be secured, the
shelf, partitions and guard-rail alone will
be needed; but rental must be paid in
such cases, and hence there is no economy
In that system, and the shelf and guard
rail will be loss, as it is unlikely that they
could be again used or fitted to room
differently proportoned. y
The city could employ a competent
workman to make the movable booths,
and place them, under plans and specifi-
cations ofits own drawing, much cheaper,
in our opinion, than by calling for bids.
The city ought to know what it wants
and not ask builders to interpret the law
as to what is proper booth.
Difficulty was not experienced in Ohio
IN these matters, and Californians should
not confess that they are less intelligent
ericapable than our Buckeye friends

THE Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Company, of which there is
some considerable gossip in San Fran
cisco, has the right to run its trains into
San Francisco at any hour over the South
ern Pacific tracks. 1t is, therefore, when
ever it wishes, as fully competing road
as if it had a separate track to the me-
tropolis, but the intelligence of San Fran
cisco does not seem to have been able to
grasp this simple fact of existing condi-
tions.
SO far as competition, therefore, with
the Southern Pacific is concerned, the
foreign road is better off than if it had a
separate track. ButIa new track would
give some communities of the State adj
vantages and facilities they do not now
possess; they would be benefited by rail
connection; their gain would be State
gain. 1t is therefore every way desirable
that such independent line be built
The Southern Pacific Company would
not have reason to complain of such con-
struction, because whatever influence be-
cause of a competing line to San Francisco
from the cities Of the Southwest would
be felt by it, is already experienced.
The track extension from Mojave to
San Francisco, therefore, can be so con-
trolled as to confer benefit all around the
S1S, 200, 600 cost to build it would be dis
tributed among our people; the new line
could be so laid as to confer railroad IA
