They insist that the bounty has caused
the Chino sugar enterprise to start up,
and are ready to give McKinley's bill
credit for the activity that has in recent
years been manifest in the production
of sugar from beets, maple, sorghum
and cane in the United States. The
bounty has nothing whatever to do with
1t. The Chino enterprise was we'll un-
der way long before the Mckinley bill
materialized. The duty on foreign
sugar, which was swept away by that
bill, would have held the price of sugar
at rate that would have compensated
for the absence of the bounty had the
Mckinley scheme never been heard Of.
The fact is, the consumers-that is, the
people,-pay the bounty now, just as
before they paid the duty.

TIN-PLATE TO THE RESCUE.

Our esteemed morning Mckinley or
gan has dug up another American tin
plate factory. This time it is in Piqua,
Ohio. He tells us that the sheet iron is
to be turned out by the Piqua rolling
mills and the timing is to be done by
the Cincinnati Corrugating company.
The tin goes from the Temescal mines.
We would place more credence in this
report if it were not for the fact that
the tin plate is to be produced from a
mill that was not built with view to
the manufacture of that article. Ofcourse
any rolling mill can turn out a few
samples of tin plate; but no mill that is
not especially built for the purpose and
supplied with all the peculiar ma
chinery, converters, etc., can be made
commercial success as tin-plate fac
tory. The province of the tin-plate
rolling mill proper is the reduc-
ticn of the tin-plate bar to the finished
cold-rolled sheet, which goes through
various processes OF annealing, picking,
shearing, squaring, ETC., until it
is what is commercially known
as black plate, and ready for coat
ing either with pure tin or a
terne mixture. To say that the Piqua
rolling mill, which was established for
an entirely different kind OF work, can
be suddenly converted into tin-plate
mill is mere ignorant assertion. No
doubt the Piqua mill has turned out
few plates that can be tlnned. So a few
plates were turned out by rolling mills
in Philadelphia and elsewhere to fur
nish the New York tin-plate banquet of
millionaires with tin dishes. But there
was no commercial proposition in this
toy-plate business. If the Piqua mill
was actually prepared to go squarely
into the business of manufacturing
tin plate as a commercial proposition,
it would have spent all the way from
$3.50, 1000 to $250,000 for new and indis-
pensable works; and if it had done so
we would have heard of it before this.
1t looks very much to us as if this
Piqua tin plate boom is got up for cam
paign purposes. Mckinley has a fight
on hand in which tin plate figures con-
spicuously, and it would be fine cleo
tioneering stroke for Piqua, Ohio, to
send out the word that the Piqua mill
was producing tin plates. Dig up

PEPITA'S PLIGHT.
A Refreshing Spectacle Which Was
Not on the Programme.


A most curious accident occurred on
Saturday afternoon, to the daughter of
an Upper Main street merchant. The
story was talked about at the fire on
Ord street yesterday, and its popularity
renders it deserving of publication,
though it would be an injustice to the
young lady to reveal her identity.
The place of business of the father is
in one of the three-story brick buildings
which have recently gone up in the
vicinity named, and the merchants
family reside on the second floor.
Pepita, as we may call her, is a dutiful
daughter, and faithfully assists her
mother in the house work. Everything
about the establishment had undergone
the usual Saturday cleansing process,
when 6 O'Clock came, except the three
windows facing Main street. The build
ing, like most of the kind, has a plain
front without holdings or cornices.
Now, Pepita undertook to wash the
windows while her mother and
the smaller children were in
the kitchen facing the back
yard, and therefore out of hearing.
The annual custom of women who
clean windows, as many may have OBJ.
served, is to sit on the sill with the BODY
outside and the feet dangling within
the room. The plump little girl as
sumed this conventional position, and
balanced bucket with brush on the
outer ledge. Suddenly, however, the
bucket lost it's balance and fell down on
the awning, eventually landing its con-
tents in the ditch. Pepita had tried to
recover the truant, but-.oh, horrors
herself became overbalanced, and fell
from the window sill. That is, all of
her except her feet. Those dainty ex-
tremities had hooked themselves on the
window frame, and poor little Pepita's
rotund proportions hung suspended in
mid-air, while her apparel hid her
bushes and the breeze playfully famed
the lace of garments which vulgar man
is not supposed to gaze upon.
A scream rent the air, and another,
and number of pedestrians stopped
and gazed. The peculiar looking help
less object suspended from the window
was not identified as charming maid
for some moments.
1t took ladder and a sailor from San
Pedro to rescue Pepita, whose face was
suffused with her life's blood-probably
because she had been hanging head
downward.

So NOW it turns out that Balmaceda
was not refugee on the United States
war steamer San Francisco, as was SO
minutely and circumstantially detailed
by the news gatherers week ago. He
has been all this time concealed in the
house of the Argentine minister in San
tiago. who gave him place of refuge
when he vainly tried to escape across
the Andes after the fatal battle of Pla-
ella. He evidently despaired of ever
escaping from Santiago alive, and, de-
pressed by his overwhelming misfor-
tunes, he sought the way of the suicide
out Of his troubles. Whilst we have no
tears to shed over the fate Of Balmaceda,
who deserved death for the ills he
recklessly brought upon his country,
we have nothing but detestation for the
brutal spirit manifested by his enemies
when he was beyond the reach of their
power.

NEXT Tuesday will be witnessed a
repetition OF the wild scenes that oc-
Cured when Oklahoma was opened to
entry two years ago. The Cherokee
strip, which includes over two million
acres of what is said to be good land on
both sides of the Cimmaron river, will
be thrown open to settlers at noon to-
morrow. There will be a feature in this
rush that was not seen in the Oklahoma
stampede. Several thousand negroes
have massed in town near
the border of the strip, and
their numbers are increasing. They
are organized to cross the line promptly
when the gun fires tomorrow. A race
collision is very possible on the occasion.
Another difficulty the, present boomers
will experience that was not realized in
the Oklahoma rush is the fact that SOL
diers of the late civil war and that with
Mexico are preferred settlers, and have
been authorized to go into the strip and
select their locations before the day of
general entry. 1t is feared that this
will confuse matters, for many of the
ordinary settlers may take up claims
already entered by the veterans. 1t
will be great game ON a
gigantic scale. The hunger for land
shown by the opening of this and the
Oklahoma strips emphasizes the fact
that Uncle Sam has long since lost the
power, which used to be his greatest
boast, to give all his children farm.
The public lands, had they been prop
erly husbanded, were extensive enough
three decades ago to give every head OF
an American family, for thirty years to
come, good-sized farm But with
the Inauguration of the civil
war came the Inauguration of policy
OF law subsidies to corporations on
most gigantic scale. In a few years
several billion acres fthe public domain
were granted to railroads; and now the
poor fellow who wants land must take
it where it is valueless, or enter into
grab game like that of tomorrow where
there will be ten times the num-
Der of people wanting homes that there
are homes to get.

Billy Thompson, the thousand-dollar

President, which will be at Manager
WAITS Los Angeles theater. had the
following little experience: The Presi-
dent opened in Jackson, Mich, for a
trial performance before going to Wind
sor theater in Chicago. Thompson had
started west from New York, and got as
far as Buffalo, when be missed his train.
He learned that special train would
shortly leave the depot for Detroit with
a lot of G. A. r. officials, and he boarded
it in order to get through to Detroit to
make connections for jackson. The
conductor came through shortly and
asked for passes. Thompson produced
his ticket, but was told that it was not
good.
'That calls for a ride from Buffalo to
Detroit, doesn't it?" he asked.
EYES," was the reply, "but not on
this train; you cannot ride on this train
without special pass" and the man of
lantern and punches raised his hand to
the bell cord.
1t takes good deal to phase theatri-
cal agent, but this one was worried.
He must get through, and the conductor
looked very stern around the corner of
his mouth. Then a bright thought
leaped into Thompson's brain-some
men do think sometimes-and with as
much cool dignity and appearance of
unconcern as he could assume, he said :
''Well, if this ticket is not good, per-
haps this is" pulling at the same time
