Cor DIAMONDS FROM A GRAVA.-A
UNIQUE story comes from MADEIRA, Gel.
Cameron Dyce s well-to-do fruit raiser OF
that pelghborhood, aud within the past year
has taken to bimaelf second wife. His
first bstterhalf was lady very wealthy In
her own right, and the pcssessor OF num-
bar OF va!nanla diamond ornsmests, amoug
which wac pair OF earrings. Dying, she re-
ouessed that she be buried in these. which
was done. Tha second wife, it appears, on
bearing OF these valuables, thought herself
much defrauded, and inssted upon her hus-
band opening the grave ofthe deceased Mrs.
Dycs aud getting them for her.
This be declined TO do 10 spite OF tears
and suke, aud the lady finally ceased to I'M
perfume him, but 1t began to be whispered
week or two ago that che was wearing
pair of earrings 80 sin2ularly like those or
her predecessor that the latter's friends we're
convinced they were the same. This COM

with having employed come one II open tne
grave and steal tie jewels. She admitted
that they were the earrings Ia question: out
declared that, finding no one willing TO 90
the thing for her, she had herself gone at
night and dislnterred the coffin, and taking
the Jewels, replaced the lid, rehlled
the grave, aud then walked back home, i've
miles.
Mr. Dyce denounces the woman as
ghoul and refuses to live with her any
longer. The affair has created considerable
stir In the neighborhood, while the author
tiles are rather at a loss as TO what measures
to take In the matter, involving as 1t does
several delicate points IN law. Mrs. Dyce
brszsns the the thiog out and says she hss
q right to the awels.

THE SECOND THoUG HIT.

The Cologne Gazette, strong anti-Amer-
lean hog journal, has, after reflection, ar
rived at the following conclusions:
1. TIE price of meat is unusually high. .. The
laws against American pork are responsible for
this. 3. Agrarian interests have never suffered
by the importation OF American pork. f. 1t IS
high time that the Interests of the meat eOnsum-
ers were consulted, and not merely those OF the
producers.
European countries which propose TO re-
taliate against the United States by discrim-
inatiOn against American products do not
sufficiently consider the difference between
natural and artificial products. The supply
of the former can only be increased slowly
without adding to its COST while the supply
of the latter is practically limited only by
the demand. The supply Of wheat at about
present prices is limited by natural condi-
tions. If it were absolutely necessary to
add % per cent to the worlds present sup
ply the price would move upward CORE
spondingly. The wheat supply may be
greatly increased. If it could be known that
wheat would never after the present year
fall below two cents a pound there would
be no lack of wheat at that price. When
Germany shut out American pork the pros
pect of better prices Increased the home
supply. But the home supply does not ap-
pear in sufficient quantities to reduce prices
TO their former level. In this respect Ger
many's experience in prohibiting the impor-
talon Of natural products is different from
ours in taxing foreign-made artificial prod
ucts. In many industries home competition
has actually reduced prices established by
foreign manufacturers. The cost OF the fin
ished article is but slightly affected by the
cost of the raw material. The cost of the
raw wool in fine suit of clothes is but an
insignificant item. 1t counts, Of course, in a
large business, but if there should for any
cause be q demand for twice the cloth now
made the supply would increase without a
corresponding increase in price. Present
indications are that in a few years the
United States will produce little grain or
meat for EXPORT. There will be an Increased
area of wheat lands, but most of this will
be through irrigation and will not probably

THE STORY OF JONAH.
A Question That Is Asked, Is 1t History
OF a ParAhla2

A Question That Is Asked, Is 1t History
OF Parable?
The lesson in. Mrs. Cooper's Bible class
yesterday was one of great interest and
ELECTED an earnest discussion. The subject
was: Jonah Sent to Nineveh." Some of
the points made were these: There is no
such thing as running away from known
duty without suffering the penalty. Dis
OBJ, dience of individual duty is selfishness
and Selfishness is the bane of human
life. The way of the transgressor Is hard.
Nothing escapes the All-seeing Eye A life
of disobedience is a life of friction and
waste.
The question was asked whether the story
OF Jonah was to be regarded as an allegOry
or as an historic fact? Mrs. Cooper replied
that eminent Bible expostors differ as to
whether it is to be regarded as historical or
a parable of Gods mercy, like the parable
Of the pr0digal son. In 1885, DR.. Lyman
Abbott wrote n book on the Old Testament,
and he then treated this subject as historic
In his exposition of the lesson in the
Christian Union this week, he says he has
changed his opinion since then, and that he
now regards it as allegorical, but wisely
covers the whole ground where he adds ::
Whether we regard 1t AS an apologize or a
history of events which Ill our time could
not occur, the moral lesson remains the
same"
We cannot, said the teacher, disobey God
and prosper. No one fares well in the long
run who fees from duty, ana the disobedi-
ence of one person will work sad havoc with
many other lives. No mSn' can sin alone.
Jonah refused to proclaim the message
against Nineyeh. He was punished for it.
We have no right to be silent in regard to
great evils in the community,

A STRIKING PARALLEL.

onIes The very questions and all OF them
which arose in this country after the Revolution
AIRY war. were debated Tor i series Of years and
finally settled by the adoption of the American
Constitution, have arisen Ia Australia, have ex-
cited the same kind of discussion on precisely
the same lines, and are now determined by
plan OF federation. which, principle for principle
II not word for WORD, Is wonderfully like the plan
pursued here. The parallel is The more striking
In that there has been In Australia, there was
here, an intermediary stage Of loose coufedeTa-
lion.
1t would not be easy to determine how
much of this similarity of thought and ac-
ton is the result Of imitation and how much
the result Of the presentation of the same
problem TO the human mind. The Aus
tTalian Convention deliberated with the de-
bates OF the American Convention before
them. For almost every question that came
up for consideration in the Australian Con-
yention a reference to the proceedings of the
American Convention furnished guide.
the deliberations of the Australian COnven-
tiou were however, freed from the burning
issue which continually presented itself to
the American Convention. Australia had
no slavery system either to cherish or to
crush out There were no members of her
convention demanding recognition of the
doctrine of mans right of property in man.
Ii there had been no American Convention
to point the way it is probable that the Aus
tralian Convention would have worked Quits
plan OF federation. The plan may be said
almost to work itself. The advantages of
union to several weak and sparsely settled
colonies are so apparent that small obstacles
must give way to it. The future of the half
born Australian nation is promising almost
beyond comparison under the shelter of
uniGn. 1t is not at all improbable that the
middle Of the next century will see Aus
tralia one OF the two greatest nations of the
earth. Europe has TO room to grow. It is
only by con- oliiation that European nations
can become much greater than they now
are. But what limit can be placed on the
magnitude of the Australian nation hun
dred years from now? OF course, no one in
Australia or elsewhere expects the political
bond between England and the colonies to
last As surely as boys grow to manhood
and act for themselves, so surely will Aus
tralia cease to look for its chief executive
officer in foreign couutTV.

rs IT HBIGEBERG?
The Alleged Murderer of Mrs.
Fossum Arrested.

An inquest will be held this morning in
the case of Mrs. Emily C. c. Fossum, whose
remains we're found in the cellar at 1902
Stockton street two weeks ago. Some in
teresting testimony will probably be intro
duced during the COroner's inquiry. The
police believe that the man arrested Satur-
day by constable at Arbuckle. Colusa
County. is Andrew Hedgeberg, who is sus-
peeted of having murdered Mrs. Fossum.
A description of the prisoner was tele-
graphed from Arbuckle TO this city yester-
day, and 1t tallies in many respects with
that furnished by those who knew Hedge
berg. 1t is certain that the prisoner is the
man who worked on ranch for few days
near Collinsville and who left that place Just
before Officer Anthony arrived. Anthony
returned to the city yesterday morning,
bringing some Of the clothing which the man
left behind in his flight from C0llinsville.
These garments were identified yesterday as
those worn by Hedgeberg during his asso-
Citations with the murdered woman.
Captain Lees received telegram at late
hour last night from Officer Anthony to the
effect that the man arrested and held for the
murder of Mrs. FosSum is not Heidelberg
Another detective will be sent UP this
morning, as the authorities are not quite
satisfied with the report.

THE PRESIDENT SOUTH.

The public must have noticed With pleas
ure the friendly receptions which have been
given to the President in the Southern
States while On his way TO California. 1t is
not impro bable that this may be the incep-
ton of a change in the policy of the South,
and that those States instead of voting
sOlidly for Democratic candidates may in
the near future divide their votes between
the two parties. The interests Of the South
ern States after all are not so very different
from those of the North. and as manuiac-
turies multiply, home markets will be es-
tablished, which will greatly benefit the
States which have heretofore depended
upon few agricultural products. Those
States would be more likely TO receive such
national legislation as they require If they
were divided between the two parties, for
antagonism would then die out. In such an
event members of Congress would carefully
consider what measures should be adopted,
and it is likely Republicans would be as
careful of their votes as Democrats. At
any rate, the friendly reception Of the Pres-
dent in the South is marked feature, and
it cannot help being OF benefit to the whole
country in smoothing over animosities.

ANTAGONISTS.

/ A contemporary thinks it strange that the
grape-growers' and the wine-makers' inter
ests should antagonze. At the present time
it appears that the grape-growers and the
wine-makers view each other as do nearly
all other persons in the Union. and as for
that, we may add, all over the world. The
struggle, it seems, is for one class TO take
advantage of another-one person TO take
advantage of another. Probably this prin-
ciple has been the underlying one since the
world began, but it has lately grown to
gigantic proportions. Now men join in
trusts, ana by such means gain great wealth.
What will be the end of these combinations
in the United States. no person at the
present time can determine. 1t may for 4
time increase, but it cannot last. As to
grape growers, they will probably have to
combine and manufacture their own wine
and establish agencies for its sale, just as
we are informed the producers in Santa
Clara County intend TO do. The business
will be improved if the purity of our wine
can be guaranteed by proper labels and
associated effort. The most of our wine has
in the past been sent to market without
any guarantee. That which was good has
gone for European wine, and that which
was bad for California wine.

THE BOND PRIVILEGE.

In respect to the report that the Treasury
Department would put an end to the prac-
tice of shipping goods over the Canadian
roads under Consular seals, Secretary Fos-
ter is reported as saying that the depart
ment does not want TO injure the business
Of the Canadian roads, but simply to protect
the Treasury. The department would treat
goods arriving at the Canadian border pre-
ciSely as it would goods arriving at any
American port destined for an inland custom
house. This statement dppriyes the pro-
posed change of much Of its Importance.
Some way may be found to protect the
Treasury without collecting duties on all
the dutiable goods that cross the Canadian
line. The Importance Of the order lies in
the presumed purpose of the Treasury De-
partment to put stop to traffic by foreign
railroads that is not allowed to foreign YES
sells. This could be done by collecting
duties on dutiable goods at the Canadian
border. The traffic has been gained bygiv-
ing the Canadian road the privilege of
taking goods from one American city, carry
ing them into Canada under bond and land
ing them at an American city without pay

required to pay. The ASSUME ton that any

An English weekly published in this city
predicts the failure Of the Blaine plan of
reciprocity with Brazil. 1t assumes that
English merchants in Brazil have sufficient
influence with the Government to prevent
the discrimination in favor of American
goods as proposed, even at the risk of the
imposition Of duty of three cents pound
on Brazilian coffee imported into the United
States. 1t Is possible that our English
friend Is correctly informed. England will
lose no markets which she can possibly hold
on to. Her industries depend upon her re-
tanning something like her present proper
ton OF foreign trade. her merchants may
represent to the Brazilian Congress that If
the United States imposes a duty on Bra
lillian coffee its people will have to pay
the duty themselves. This representation
would hold good unless other coffee-growing
countries should increase their supply. II
might take little time to bring Mexico and
Central America into the front rank Of
coffee-growing countries, but refusal on
the part of Brazil to comply with the condi-
tions Of the new tariff would inspire an
