Deacon Hungerford and his hired man to
destroy the biggest and finest crop of ap-
Piles ever grown in Deacon Hungerford's
orchard. Preacher Hall, his two sons and
the deacon are ardent Prohibitionists,

more apples than he could eat he was in
sore straits because he was afraid some
one would make the crop into cider.
Preacher Hall advised its destruction and
the advice was adopted.

CREDIT FOR THE LEGISLATURE

. The passage of the bill defining contempt
Of court is a matter Of much more import
ance than would seem at first glance. 1t is
as essential IN our opinion thar newspapers
should be permitted to discuss the acts of a
Judge as it is those of other officers of
the Government. Newspapers have been
permitted to say what they please concern
ing Governors, Mayors, or indeed any other
Officials except Judges. Under the anti
quated rules laid down in England by the
courts governing contempt cases there was
great uncertainty. Judges we're permitted
TO decide for themselves what constituted
contempt and to punish offenders under
rules which they set up Where the press
cannot make comments concerning a Judge
who is Incompetent or tyrannical the in
terssts Of the public are likely to suffer- An
upright Judge has nothing to fear. In
- - upright judge may court comments
from the press, Tor he will be sure to rise in
public estimation when his acts are ex-
ahmed ! corrupt Judge, as We have some
times seen in New York City, has set at de-
tange honest rules Of law. knowing that he
could have an offending person who should
say au.h- liaSt ann punished summarily.
In the United st rs there are no priyi-
legged persons, nor should there be any.
Men in this state have been placed upon
the bench who were totally unfit for the
position. Others have occupied such posi-
tons u no were tTcksters. With fair COM

danger; a. least The CALL believes in hay-

THE LAND LOAN BILL.

Senator Morrill, might easily have handed
in an adverse report on Senator Stanford's
land loan bill in hve lines. But out of con-
Slderation of the " high and estimable char
acter of the distinguished author" he ex-
amined the proposition at all points and
found none in which he regarded it as com
mendable. The underlying defect of the bill
IS the proposition to issue paper currency not
redeemable in coin. When the connection
between paper currency and metallic money
IS severed property values become at once
unsettled. There is no limit to the amount
OF currency that may be put in circulation
Tor the simple reason that the issue OF cur
rency is not attended with cost or respon-
slbility. When legal tender was issued dur
ing the war the connection between the
PAPER and metallic money was maintained.
Each issue was promise to pay in coin an
amount equal TO the denomination Of the
note. GreenbackS deprecated in value be-
cause there was doubt of the ability of the
Government to keep lis promises. But as
this doubt cleared up greenbacks appre-
clated, and for tie last ten years have been
as good as coin. The proposed issue of
paper money does not promise payment in
coin. 1t is a simple assertion of its quality
as money without limit as to amount, ex-
cept that loans shall not exceed 90 per cent
OF the value of the land. But with money
OF this character in circulation the value of
land would Increase in proportion as the
paper currency deprecated. There are
other ways to help the producing classes
without entering upon the hazardous exper-
Intent oil Lending fat money on land.

A SIDE FIGHT.

The imprudent attempt of the Examiner
to excuse itself for printing an advertise
ment condemnatory of an article it had pub
lished as news opened the way for the
Record Union to cite an example of the Er-
Gminer'S methods which in turn invites eX-
PLANTATION. The Record Union declares that
the Examiner published an article lauda
tory of the Leland Stanford Jr. University
in its news columns in the plain ordinary
way in which all other IN after collected for
publication is published. 1t received pay
for this article on the basis of the charge
which admitted i t to its columns without in
dlcating that it was paid for" The infer
ence from this is that in the E,rdmin er'S
ethics the difference between news article
and an advertisement is a difference in
price. 1t charges higher rates to publish an
article as news than as an advertisement.
In the case cited the Examiner denounced
editorially the university and declared that
the article it had published apparently as
news was 4 paid advertisement. This fast
and loose method OF doing things involves its
confidential advertisers in frequent embar-
easements. Mr.. Stanford's friends who pro-
cured the publication of this article lauda
tory of the university were much chagrined
when the Examiner proclaimed that the ar
ticle had been paid for. Senator Stanford
was a candidate for reelection, and TO quote
the RecO1d d Union, 'underno circumstances
would he have advertised his benevolence
as a campaign document" Yet this is pre-
cisely what his misguided friends did for
him. They did not suppose that their hands
would appear. They expected to get the
benefit of an Endorsement OF the Examiner
for money, while deluding the public with
the idea that Mr.. Stanford extorted praise
from political opponent. But it was mean
in the Examiner to divulge the fact that its
Endorsement had been paid for. 1t was an
exposure of its methods which would injure
a paper which could possibly be injured by
any lapse on the part of its conductors.

McCudden's Case VIII Now Be Tried in
the District Court.
There was quite an array of legal talent
in the United States District Court yester-
day, when the hearing on the demurrer in
the James McCudden case came up. Nc
CuddeD, who is indicted for having present
ed to the Government fraudulent claim for
coal, argued through his attorneys, Messrs.
Hillborn and Hall, that the indictment did
not state facts sufficient to make cause for
trial, and that his presentation of bill for
coal in advance of the delivery of the same
is in accordance with the printed directions
OF the Navy Pay 0ffirer.
Ex-United States District Attorney Carey
appeared for the Government and argued
that it does not need to be especially set
forth In the indictment that fraud had
been committed when the acts Of the defend
ant are prima-face evidence. The indict-
ment set forth that certain amount of coal
had been contracted to be delivered at the
Mare Island Navy-yard and that that
amount had fallen short.

FARMERS ALLIANCE PROSPECT

In the formation Of new parties there are
likely to be some mistakes at first in plat
forms, Tor men of different minds assemble
and discuss their opinions as to principles
which they believe ought TO be embodied in
their efforts for reforms. The Farmers AL
lance is a case in point. IL realize that
corporations and politicians have made
common cause in plundering the people in
most Of the States of the Union. Corpora
tons have had in their pay men who ran
conventions, and the public have had to
take the candidates who were nominated
for them. California, as we know, has had
to suffer from the anomalous condition of
affairs until our citizens have become FESTIVE
under the load they have had to carry.
They have seen taxes increase with little or
no prospect OF a change for the better. I'm
der such circumstances farmers alliances
have been formed, with view to the NOM
ination Of candidates for Office, instead of
leaving this important duty TO corporations.
The CALL is in favor of reforms In several
respects. It does not wish to see all of the
important Offices in the State filed by men
who sell nominations. As political affairs
have been managed in San Francisco and
the State of California recently, scarcely an
important position has been filed which was
not accomplished through mOneyed intiu-
ences. Bosses in the conventions sold the
nominations, and the people quietly voted
for their candidates. Our recent elections
have been a fraud upon the people. We
have been plundered, yes, robbed. At the
last election the Republican party was able
to secure the nomination of some good men,
and they were elected in preference to
Buckley's candidates; but now that the Re-
publican party has got in to power bosses
are lowering about the Legislature, with
view to the abasement Of that party. THE
CALL is in hopes they will not succeed, but
there is danger. Farmers believe there is
% danger. If the farmers organize their alli-
anccs, as they are likely to do, and 90 into
elections, in every probability they will
soon control the State, for where is there an
honest citizen who will not vote for their
candidates in preference to such men as
have been nominated by partisan conven-
tions? One mistake, however, is made by
the alliances in asking the Legislature to in
dOrse Mr.. Stanford's wild financial scheme,
but we look for that crudity to be Topped

THE LION IN THE WAY.


1t is clear that the British Parliament
does not propose to permit any commercial
relations between one of the British colo
MES and other nations that it considers pre-
Judicial to the interests Of any part of the
empire. A London dispatch says that 'im-
perlal consent to negotiate separate arrange
ments has always been subject to we'll
recognized principle that the Imperial Goy-
erpment must see how far the proposed
terms affect other interests of the empire"
Ii we apply the principle to an ATTEMPT on
the part of Canada to form commercial
union with the United States, while remain
ing part Of the British Empire, we shall
see readily tie outcome of the proposed
reciprocity arrangement between Canada
and the United States. ANY system of reci-
prOcity the United States may consent to

as well as OF natural goods. 1t will follow

spect and to fit them by suitable education
to hold their own in the world without as
sisiance from any quarter. Baron Hirsch
proposes to make men of his settlers.
His idea evidently is that his Russo
Americans should become farmers That
has not been the usual lot of his eoreligion-
lists in this country. In one of the tables of
the new census, the condition of some $1,000
Hebrews is separately examined; it appears
that only a few hundred-a mere handful
of the whole are engaged in agricultural
labor Nine-tenths of them are engaged in
trade. 1t will he different with the new i'm
migrants, if Baron Hirsch's views are car
ried out. Heis evidently of the opinion that
the producer is more valuable citizen than
the middleman, and that the most secure
livelihood is that which is won by tllliDg the
soil.
He departs from the usual custom of
European colOniZers by proposing that his
immigrants shall not settle together as colo
MES, in which their old language and habits
may be preserved, and a distinction main
tanned between them and the other in
hahitants of the country. He advises that
his Russians and Roumanans Shall settle
side by side with Americans, TO the end that
there shall be no distinguishing character
lsucS by Whlcn their children snail De
segregated from the children of other races.
The wisdom of this course will be apple
ciated by all who have noticed the ineon-
yenience which has resulted from eXclu-
siyely Russian or scandinavian colonies in
the grain States. There are settlements in
Wisconsin and Minnesota which are as I'M
American as Kiev or ChriSliansiad, and
where the conduct Of public affairs is con-
stantly embarrassed by race disputes.
The experiment of decanting some two
ami half millions of human beings from
Russia and the municipalities to the United
States viii be watched with anxiety by the
civilized world. At first blush it seems to
be an impossible undertaking. If it can be
accomplished at all, it will he mainly
