THINGS move SO quickly in the United
Staues of late that few people have time
to note their changes. 1t was supposed
that, when Blame became secretary of
state of the United States, whatever
claims this country asserted to any
thing would be maintained with special
energy. 1t was even popularly thought
by those who do not look beyond the
surface that the Plumed Knights favor
ite attitude was that of twisting the tail
of the British lion. Until the other day
the United States claimed that they had
Deen subrogated to all the rights of
Russia in the Bering sea, and that that
sea was closed one. One of the first
effects of Mr.. Blaine's diplomacy is the
proposition that our rights in the
Bering sea waters should be subject to
arbitration. If such an idea had been
suggested as to Blaine in the old days,
when his fiery diatribes rang out in the
house of representatives, that portion of
the American people with whom he

THE absorbing of the Shufeldt distil-
lery by the whisky trust will be accepted
as very strong corroborative proof OF the
guilt of George ]. Gibson, secretary OF
the trust, who was charged by Shufeldt
with sending dynamite internal ma
chine to him with the object of blowing
up the distillery. 1t is said the trust
paid 100000 for the establishment.
Although Gibson is under indictment
for the attempted crime, there can be
little doubt that the distillery purchase
will result in compounding one of the
most atrocious felonies ever attempted
in this country.

MRS. ESTES SAD STORY,
SHE SAYS SHE IS A DAUGHTER OF
G. w. PEACHY OF THIS CITY.
Her Husband Denies That She Was Le-
gally Married to Him-She Charges Him
With Deserving Her when the Baby
Was Born-The Matter Under Investi-
cation. 3af

A woman who says she is daughter
Of G. w. Peachy,. the harness dealer, of
257 South Spring street, is the cause OF
a sensation in San Francisco. She was
found destitute in Oakland on Monday
last, and very ill, and is now in care of
some benevolent ladies'. She claims to
be the wife OF DR.. M. B. Estes, of San
Francisco. This the doctor denies. He
admits that he lived with her for
short time, but says she can produce no
legal proof of marriage. He also asserts
that he has spent much money trying
to cure her of the opium habit, and only
abandoned her when he found the task
was hopeless.
Mrs. Estes is young woman, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, and was
once pretty, having regular features,
heavy, dark-brown hair, and large, soft,
dark-brown eyes. Her voice is well
toned, and her speech, manner and APP
pearance indicate that she has been
well educated and possesses much nat
ural refinement.
She was lying in bed, and her pale
face, thin features and hands showed
that she has been a sufferer from sick
ness and mental distress.
She stated to reporter that she met
DIR. Estes at San Jose. a
year and half ago, and they
fell in love, and were married
by man claiming to be a minister,-a
DR.. Greely. After the birth of her baby
she says the doctor treated her cruelty,
and when she fell i'll deserted her.
In closing the interview Mrs. Estes
said: Something has been said about
my opium habit. do not deny that,
but do affirm that it was not assumed
voluntarily. have been an invalid and
great sufferer. Morphine and marco
tics were given me as medicine to relieve
me from pain, and thus the habit grew.
1t is not as bad as has been represented,
and am not VICTIM and am curing
myself of it." ~
Mrs. Estes stated further that her
maiden name was Peachy, and that her
father is G. w. Peachy, rich saddle
and harness dealer in Los Angeles,
where she is well known.
The Oakland Times of Thursday says
of the matter
Secretary Theobald left yesterday for
San Jose to investigate the sensational
Estes case, and to find, if possible, the
marriage OF DIR. and Mrs. Estes. He has
recently learned that a man named
West was divorced from Mrs. Estes in
1888, and that on February s, 1889, DIR.
M B. Este and Mrs. West were married
in hotel at San Jose, and he has found
witnesses to the marriage.
The child who was baptized in DR..
Horizons church at Milton Taylor Estes
is said by the doctor that it does not beg
long to him.
Theobald says the child could not be an
offspring of the man the doctor says it
is, and he proposes to see that the doc
tor supports it or goes to Jail.

IT HAS been the habit of the English
press to severely animadvert upon the
lack OF respect, dignity and order that
sometimes is observable in American
courts. But it will not, after the scenes
that have just been witnessed in the
highest English court, with Chief JUS
tice Coleridge presiding, lie in the
mouths OF our British cousins to again
find fault with the way in which Amer
lean courts are conducted. That must
have been a scene to have awakened
respect for high judicial tribunal when
the spectators in the baccarat trial saw
the wife OF the chief justice and her fe-
male companions sitting beside that
dignitary, giggling and sending notes to
the lunch-munching aristocracy that oc-
cupied all the best seats in the court.
1t was more of a scene got up for theat-
rical effect than grave and serious trial
in which the heir apparent to the throne
of England was the chief witness, both
against the man that cheated at cards
and himself who banked the game. The
aristocracy made a sort OF picnic out
of a trial that will have far reaching
results.

DIscREDIrINq IRRIGATION BONDS.

There is evidently a disinclination
amongst the San Francisco bankers to
invest in irrigation district bonds,
Notwithstanding everything possible
has been done to show that, if
proper precaution has been taken
to see that the district issuing
them is composed of good irrigable
lands, they are safe as securities and de-
sirable as investments. The supreme
court has passed favorably upon all the
doubtful questions of law that have
come before it with reference to the
validity of such bonds, and it would
seem that nothing more were wanted to
fully guarantee capitalists in placing
their money in this kind of securities.
1t is, however, idle to try to induce the
San Francisco banks to look favorably
upon these bonds, if they are determ-
ined to give them the cold shoulder.
San Francisco has been the great alb
sorber of the surplus wealth OF this
coast, and her financial institutions are
naturally looked to by theinterior with a
view to receiving liberal consideration in
matter of this kind, upon which the
prosperity of large portion of the
state depends. If the securities are safe
and the interest guaranteed ample, why
should there be any difficulty in placing
these bonds in the great money center
of the coast? 1t has been too much the
case in the past that the capitalists of
San Francisco have given the cold
shoulder to great interior interests, and
that city has suffered greatly in busi-
ness point of view from the fact that
this injurious policy has prevailed. A
more liberal policy would have been
better for the commercial metropolis Of
the coast and for the productive inter-
niggardly course the capitalists of San
Francisco have pursued in the past,
they have estranged the people they
should have conciliated and aided, and
made enemies where they could have
secured friends. What is the result
Chicago is getting trade in this state
that San Francisco could have held
under liberal and enlightened policy.
The back country upon which that city
can depend for business is being more
contracted every day, and if the irri-
gationists of the state are forced by the
unfriendly action of her banks and cap
italists to go east to place their bonds,
another strong element of the produc-
tive people of California will follow
the destination of their irrigating bonds
with their business. So unwise and
selfish policy would kill any city that
follows it up, and San Francisco will
find to her sorrow one of these daysthat
no city aspiring to commercial great
ness can afford to treat with indiffer-
ence any of the great productive inter
ests that lie at the bottom of the pros
perity of all classes of business. If the
agricultural prosperity of the state is
crippled, what is to become of the COM
mercial activities of the cities?

In THE time OF Charles the Second
royalty could outrage all the decencies
with impunity; but in this age public
opinion is shocked when the heir appal-
ent to the British throne acts as banker
at gambling game. Englishmen who
believe that the law against gambling
games is not dead letter when violated
by either high or low, will be apt to
make the Tanbycroft affair thorn in
the side of the blackleg prince. The

A MINING BOOM IMMINENT.

Readers of the HERALD will probably
remember that this journal has steadily
held to the position that the current year
would be characterized by striking de-
velopments in what may be called the
mining prism of Los Angeles. For five
or six months past there has been great
energy in prospecting, owing to the an
ticipation;of an early completion of the
railway which will connect Salt Lake
with Los Angeles. For decades on de-
cades the country which will be trav-
ersed by this road has been known to be
specially rich in all lines of mineral
wealth. Goal and iron exist in mex
haustibleiquantities, while the precious
metals abound in profusion on all
hands. Timber, also, will shortly be
accessible at moderate prices when the
Carson and Colorado railway shall be
completed to this city, or when some
traffic arrangement shall be made with
an existing road, both the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe being in the
line of such negotiations. The first
significant sign of mining revival
which we noticed hereabouts was the
purchase, by the Messrs. D. o. Mills
and John p. Jones. of the old Cerro
Gordo mines of the Messrs. Beaudry &
Belshaw, at Independence, Inyo county.
There is large section OF country in
that neighborhood, embracing Pana-
mint, which will undoubtedly be richly
productive of the precious metals
very shortly. The vicinage of
Darwin is said to abound in in
Vulnerable deposits whose working has
only been prevented by the costly char
acter of transportation of all descrip-
tions. The country around Orc Grande
has lately m ade quite stir in mining
circles and number of enterprising An
gelefios bid fair to add largely to their,
bank accounts by discoveries of rich
and permanent deposits there. The lat
est veritable sensation has been in the
unearthng of prodigiously rich deposits
of gold in the extreme southwestern
portion of Nevada, within easy reach of
both the Carson and Colorado and the
Central Utah railways. All the an
nouncements which have recently
reached the public concerning these new
deposits are sure to be added to daily,
for there is an army OF prospectors in
the fields to which we have briefly al
luded, and the results of their long con-
tinued and persevering work are sure to
be recorded very shortly. OF course,
all the camps from which we hear may
not turn out well, and one is permitted
to smile when enthusiasts talk about
overshadowing the Comstock lode, but
there is around us great stretch of rich
and virgin territory which will give en-
ployment to tens Of thousands OF miners
before many years, and the supplies for
the whole region will be drawn from
this city. There need be no qualifca-
tion in the announcement that we are
just upon the eve of an able-bodied min
ing boom.

THE census of children taken by the

THE census of children taken by the
school marshals of Sacramento shows a
falling off of 27O from the number re-
turned last year. And yet, says the
Record Union, there is constant call
for more school room and more teachers.
We have heard it often remarked that
there are more nice, manageable girls
in Sacramento than in any other city on
the coast; and yet the manageable
young men are few and not over-desira-
BILE. We don't know whether there is
any connection between this fact and
the falling off in school children.
