THE rARnRRs' ALLIANCE IN POLITICS,

The Farmers Alliance seems to be in
politics to stay, at least for while.
The organization has established lit
erary bureau in Washington that is
flooding the country with reading mat
ter Of decidedly lively nature. A
leafet just at hand puts the work OF the
last congress in this spicy way
Taxed one billion dollars! Sixty-two
millions of people to pay $S each per
annum to run the machinery andn pay
the expenses of the government. And
there are only $4.97 for each man, wo-
man and child in the country in circula-
ton.
This is condensation OF the record
made by the Fifty-first congress, which
adjourned a short time since-a con-
gress which has no parallel for reckless
ness and extravaganza, and utter disre-
gard for the wishes and prayers OF this
great people.
Just think of it! An average of $500
tax on each man, woman and child In
the country to run the government; and
there is only $4.97 of money in circula-
ton for each man, woman and child In
the country. Was there ever such de-
graded slavery of a people? How or
earth can nation OF people who have
only $4.97 each to circulate among them
selves, pay a tax of $500 each and pros
per? And yet this is what the national
| legislature of this great commonwealth
has left to be done. Better, far better
the task of making bricks without
straw.
Another thing which may be noticed
with interest is the fact that in all thi;
extravagance-all this recklessness
waste and squandering-the pitifu
amount of less than five million dollars
or less than one two-hundredth part o
the whole amount spent and appropri
ated, was given to the agricultural
interests.
1t will not do to disregard a move
ment that is SO earnestly conducted az
this, and whose central purposes are
economy in the government and foster
ing the interests of the great army O
producers. 1t will exercise power in the
elections of 1892.

TIE new boom is taking shape il

TIE new boom is taking shape in a
most encouraging way. The latest de-
velopment to note is a sale just closed
whereby E. J. Baldwin disposes OF a
slice of the Santa Anita to syndicate
composed of NJ S. Babcock, of San
Diego, J. w. Wallace, of Alhambra, and
others. This deal is for 300 acres of the
very flower of the lovely Santa Anita.
The block lies directly below the Bald
win orange orchard, being bounded by
the county road to Monrovia on the
north, and the road from the Baldwin
home place to Savanna runs through
it. The price is $500 per acre, or gross
sum of 100000. The sale carries with
it the right to twenty inches
of water, perpetual flow, at an annual
rental of $1,000 per year, or 500 per
inch per year. 1t is cheap enough; for
water is worth $4,000 per inch, and $10O
is only 5 per cent. per annum interest
on that sum. Each inch is sufficient for
fifteen acres in that locality, which
makes the cost per year come to less
than 81 an acre year. That is only a
trihe over 81 cents month per acre for
water. The whole tract is to be put into
oranges as fast as the work can be DONE

episode. 1t is genuine case Of great
cry and no wool, as on that memorable
occasion when his satanic majesty

the pastime of shearing the pig. The

rule are too level-headed to kill the

SENATOR STANFORD has at last secured

SENATOR STANFORD has at last secured
head for his big university at Palo
Alto. He is a Hoosier schoolmaster
who is to preside over this new Pierian
spring to be set up in classic San Mateo.
If the millionaire senator ever carries
out half his plans for his university it
will be great benefit to the youth OF
the state. And why should he not ?
Stanford made all his money in Cali
fornia. He has no one to leave his
great wealth to who in a family line
will perpetuate his memory. Some
monument like this is the only way for
the great railway builder to make his
name immortal. In all the history
of mankind, Crnsus is the one man i'm
mortalized merely as being rich. Riches
proverbially take to themselves wings
and fly away. A great university in
solid masonry, " ith intellectual founda-
tions laid deep and broad, will survive
for centuries and make the founder fa-
nous. In spite OF his fall from favor,
Cardinal Wolsey's name lives INSOFAR

THERE will be a really large amount
of building done in this city the coming
summer, compared with the record of
the past two or three years. Several
very handsome private residences will
be put up, for the use of those having
them constructed. They will be houses
OF much pretension, of large size, and
will cost a large amount of money. A
good many business blocks will also be
put up, mostly along Spring street.

THE SHELL MINER
a Wonderful Little Blyalve That Bor
Through solid Rock.

Wonderful Little Blvalve That Boros
Through solid Rock.
The PhOlas, a small species Of bivalye
shell having the remarkable faculty of
boring into the hardest rock, is one of
the greatest wonders known to the
conchologist Great blocks of granite
and marble that have fallen overheard
or been sunk in foundered vessels have
been found years afterward completely
honeycombed by these curious little
borers, they themselves being impris-
oned in the cavity, obtaining their food
from the water that flowed in and out
Many explanations have been given as
TO the method by which they bore into
such extremely hard rocks. The shell
IS known to contain aragonite, and
some suppose that constant friction en-
ables the shell to subdue the rock.
Others, again, are of the opinion that
the shell secretes some corrosive fluid
which dissolves the rock and enables
the creature to bore its hole. Some of
the most interesting samples of its
work known to the scientists NAV be
seen in the pillars of the Temple
of Scraps, Italy. There the land
became submerged long enough for the
shell to do its curious work. After a
lapse of ages the land has now risen,
and the holes with their empty shells
are plainly to be seen, the marble pill
lars being completely permeated by
them. These and other exhibitions of
its work have caused Pholas to be
called ''the shell MINER" and. curiously
enough, 1t Is furnished with lamp, a
rich blue-white light that shines out all
over the entire body. Some remark
able experiments have been made with
the shells Of Pholas. II appears that
they are equally luminous whether
dead or alive, wet or dry. One scientist
who was testing different substances in
view Of obtaining light without heat.
put one of the shells in a jar of milk
and used it to read by. In clear dis
titled water the light shines with undi-
minished brightness for years. Placed
