AN AZUSA IZA.
SHE is JAILED FOR ETRAYING
HER HUSBAND.
With Which She is Charged-Her Hus-
bands Brother Has Her Arrested.

Mrs. Madrona de Quiquez languishes
at the county Jail because she was
fonder of another man than she was of
her husband. Mrs. de Quiquez win be
examined before Justice Bouldin of
Azusa next Tuesday for adultery, and is
now being held to await that event on
complaint sworn out at Azusa by one
Antonio Cruz, her brother-in-law. Her
alleged lover, Arnaldo Aviso, has left
for other parts in order to avoid prose-
cution; leaving Mrs. Quiquez, who is in
an interesting condition, to stand the
brunt OF her trouble alone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Quiquez were married at
Azusa ten years ago and have two chill
dren. The husband developed jealous
nature from the start, and many family
quarrels have been caused by his FREE
Quently expressed suspicious of his
wife's chastity. Last November Quiquez
became enraged at his wife because he
saw her chatting at the gate with
Aviso and told her that she could
henceforth do as she pleased; that he
would have nothing further to do with
her. He kept his word, removed his
belongings from the house and has not
returned to his wife since.
Mrs. de Quiquez was left destitute by
her husbands action. She was ill and
had no means of support. and must nee
essarily soon have been in desperate
straits, had not Aviso come to the
.rescue. The object of the husbands
jealousy took care Of the deserted wife
and supplied her with money to provide
the necessaries of life Mrs. de Qui-
quez soon came to look on Aviso as her
natural supporter, and he took up his
residence in her house and occupied the
position deserted by Quiquez, without
creating much comment.
Quiquez remained in the neighbor-
hood of Azusa, however, and ON learning
of his wifes intimacy with Aviso made
such dire threats against his successor
as to cause his fight. The complaint,
sworn to by Cruz, soon followed, and
that is why Seiiora Madrona de Quiquez
is at the county Jail.

THERE has been great bugaboo about
nominating southern man for either
president or vice-president. 1t would
appear to most men that the time for
this finicky timidity should have passed
by this time. An opening ought to be
made at the next Democratic national
convention by the nomination, at least,
OF southern man for vice-president.
The country is one and indivisible, and
narrow sectional prejudices should be
permitted to cut no figure in it. Bland,
of Missouri, would make a splendid tail
of the ticket. He is quite worthy of
being its head. 49,

EDWIN BOOTH, on a recent occasion,
found it convenient to notice the stories
that he is unsocial, hard of access and
cold. He says that the truth of the
matter is that he is a confirmed dyspep-
tic, are therefore does not care to go
much into society. He is always glad
to see his friends if they will call in on
him and be content to take pot luck.
AS to strangers, he says that he does not
know what to talk to them about, and
is tired of trying to discover suitable
topics, This all goes to show that
Edwin Is really very selfish fell
low. Old DR.. Samuel Johnson, he Of
dictionary and Rasselas fame, was also
a dyspeptic. He lived to an extreme
old age, and said on his death bed that
he had never passed day in his life
without pain. This did not prevent
him from making persevering efforts to
knock out and browbeat everybody he
came in contact with. He would have
died before he would have allowed mere
ennui to debar him from the exercise OF
his healthy perennial snarl, and when
he had no strangers to practice it on he
would let out on Boswell and poor, dear
Goldsmith, just to keep his tongue
in, p as it were.

RANCE is without approach the great

FRANCE is without approach the great
est cash country in the world. When
the Barings came to grief and a general
smash-up was imminent in Great Brit
ain, France was enabled through her
national bank to loan the Bank OF
England twenty-five tons OF gold, which
carried the British financial world
through the crisis. The peasantry of
France are the most thrifty and eco
nomical people in the world. Indeed
this is characteristic of all classes in
that country. They all live within their
income, and therefore they are always
supplied with surplus, and this sur
plus is available to the government
whenever it requires it. Here is an
instance OF the inexhaustible
money resources of that great
country. She has a floating debt
OF near $20O,OOO,0OO, and the govern
ment, deeming the present good time
to begin to place it, asked for some
SIC, 100000. Ten times the amount was

We HAVE had much to say OF late con-
corning the outrageous impositions on
the taxpayers. We were informed yes
terday of the case of Mr.. Bradshaw,
who owns a couple of cheap lots near
Richfeld. They were assessed low,
though at about their real value, and
the tax only came to about two cents a
lot. The assessment was under the
Wright irrigation law, and the owner
knew nothing of his liability until in
formed of it by friend. When it came
to stepping up to the captains Office
and settling the scot he found that
ne was obliged to shell out $1.04-
one dollar for the advertising and four
cents for the tax. In this case there was
no five per cent. added, because Califor
mia has no coin small enough to make
one-twentieth of four cents. The sys-
tenn is lovely one, and is calculated to
make the ordinary citizen bless our law
givers.

DR.. w. S. MATHEWS, of the Southern
Pacific university, occupied the pulpit
of the Fort-street M. f. church yester
day forenoon. His discourse was not
sermon but an appeal for aid to the uni
yersity, the financial condition of which,
he said, was such that the institution
would be compelled to close unless the
trustees could raise the sum Of $780, 900.
In the meantime, however, the univer-
sity could be kept open if certain lesser
sum were contributed by the first of
September. The trustees, OF whom
there are eleven, were confronted short
time ago with the fact that there was
large amount of money due the univer-
sity on interest account which it was i'm
possible to collect. 1t was mainly upon
this revenue the trustees depended for
the running expenses of the institution.

great earnings of the average individual
in the United States, but few people
have any ready money outside of that
which they are using in their affairs or
have invested in some speculation or in
dustry. Hoarding is unknown here,

money in the country is in circulation.

them in the face. At this critical juno
ture the trustees gave their individual
notes for the sum outstanding against
the university, and these notes would
mature next fall. Some of the country
churches had subscribed to the relief
fund, but the main dependence for sue
cor is looked for from the prosperous
churches of the principal cities in South
ern California. Whilst the university
has real estate worth at least 5000, 900,
yet under the terms of its endowment
not a dollarscan be raised from it for
meeting current expenses. 1t will be a
revelation to most of our readers that
this university is in such serious finan-
cial straits.

ONE of the idiosyncracies of Demo-
cratic politics is the Importance which a
certain class of it's leaders seek to give
to Hon. William R. Morrison, one of the
interstate commerce commissioners, as
a possible Democratic candidate for
president. 1t is hard to see
why Morrison should be thus ia
vored. His record in the house of
representatives had not been brilliant
up till the time he was made chairman
OF the house committee on ways and
means. In this most responsible posi-
ton he could have been of invaluable
service in formulating an intelligent tal-
if scheme, to replace the existing Re-
publican war measure. To have any
chance OF success this emandation of ex-
listing laws should have been carefully
elaborated, and Republican susceptible
tiles and those OF the manufacturers and
the protectionist wing of the Democratic
party conciliated as far as possible. But
the truth is that Morrison really knew
nothing OF the tariff and was too indo-
lent to learn anything of it. He there
fore devised the extraordinary scheme
of scaling it down by his celebrated
horizontal reduction of ten per cent.
Nothing could well be more absurd
than this way of treating a great
national and economic question. To
show its supreme folly, let US take
an example from the existing Mckinley
tariff. In that precious document the
duties on imitation seal skins, which
are worn by the poor, are about six
times those on the real article, which
can only be be bought by the rich. By
Mr.. Morrison's brilliant tariff scheme
the reduction On the goods of the richer
portion of the community would be in
ratio only one-sixth of those of the poor
man. This may be Morrisonism, but it
is certainly not Democracy, and long
may it be before it is ever engrafted on
the party OF Jefferson. The apprecia-
tion which Mr.. Morrison's own con-
stituents had OF his new scheme of
craftsmanship was shown by his
defeat in his own, the Belle
vile district, at the next ensu-
ing election. Ii the Belleville states
man is pushed to the front as the Dem
ocratic standard-bearer the effect could
not well be less than disastrous. The
Democratic party may not demand a
brilliant leader, but it will insist on a
man of sense. They will engage in no
wild goose chase which would end in
the Democracy holding the. bag while
the Republicans had the game.

AID FOR YUMA AT ONCE, AND IN LIB
ERAL AND GENEROUS MEASURE.

The calamity which has befallen Yuma
is one of those things which in ratio are
as great as the fires of Chicago or
Boston. 1t is appalling to contemplate
the idea OF whole town swept away,
root and branch, from the center all
round to the circumference, but that is
the melancholy situation presented to-
day in respect to this, one OF the oldest
cities of the sun-kissed land. The whole
inhabitants of what was once Yuma are
now enclosed within and around the
walls of the Arizona penitentiary, which
fortunately was located on an island.
This is certainly state of things that
calls for the most instant and generous
aid OF this community. The HERALD
disdains to dwell on any selfish features
of this demand which humanity makes
upon every Angelefio, or to point out the
fact that in the past the merchants and
citizens of the doomed town have been
patrons OF our own city, and that Yuma,
risen from her ashes, will prob
ably be again customer in
our marts. Great numbers
OF people, our neighbors and friends,
have lost their all. Home, household
gods and possessions have been swept
into the gulf. Helpless women and
children are in need Of every necessary
of life; and, in order to replace what
has been lost, they are dependent upon
the charity of their fellows. That there
will be fitting response from this city
we do not question, but it ought to be
immediate; and, to make it effective,
there ought to be some system in our
efforts. A committee of our leading
citizens should either get together vol
unfairly, or through the medium of the
chamber OF commerce or board of trade,
or there ought to be citizens meeting
at which the subscriptions could begin,
and this committee appointed, 1t
would be an unspeakable reflection
upon our opulent community if they
should fail to put themselves on record
suitably in this matter of succoring a
people so sorely distressed.

IT is to be hoped that at least the bill
providing for the issue of street I'M

through. This system has been found
to work splendidly in Pittsburg and
other eastern cities. 1t does not neces-
sarily lay part of the burden of i'm
provement on posterity, but it greatly
lessons the pressure on the same man
when he finds that he has ten or fifteen
years instead of one in which to pay for
