NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

We notice that our neighbor Of the Chr0H-
icIe complains that he is misTepresented by
TIRE CALL, in relation to Maxwell, whom De
Young is trying to Use as a means to obtain
some O. the money " hich California is rails
ing for the advancement of The interests of
her citizens at the Chicago Fair. We should
be sorry to do anything TO mr. the exhibit
ton, or which would initiate against the
interest Of the State, but it Is not we'll that
De Young should be permitted to Use dude
and politician Maxwell 10 absorb money
which the State has appropriated for other
purposes. It is pretty well understood in
this State, at least that De Young IS after
money. 1t is his boast that newspaper
may be used; that its editorial columns may
be sold the same As a lawyer sells his ser
vices e. a client We think we do De Young
no wrong IN saying that he has the TeDuta-
ton with those persons VINO know him best
of doing almost anything for money. THE
CALL does not urge that he would sell his
soul for money if he have one. but we are
quite confident he would sell the public if
he could put money IN his pocket by that
means. Who and what is MaXwellP Those
who pretend TO know who he is say he is a
low 20 itcan, such a one as can BE- used.
De Young has laboTed hard to obtain con-
troll Of the money which the inhabitants Of
this State are raising TO eXpend in promOt-
ing their interests at Chicago; but we do
not know why The CALL should remain
quiet while he is plucking us. We urge
that de \ Dung is after money. and that he
cares very little for the public, provided he
can put his hands into the funds up to his
elbows featheTing his own nest. In this
connection we copy the folio ing from the
Orange Belt published in Southern Cali

HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER.
The press and the people OF The State are justly
indignant that an incompetent man should be
appointed from California 10 take charge OF tie
frur department OF the Worlds Fair. The fol-
lowing clipping from the San Bernardino Kutei-
dOscOpe is a sample uiterance;
Il see that Nike de Young has succeeded In
having the appointment OF the fellow Maxwell as
chief of the Horticultural department OF the
Worlds Fair confirmed by the commission. TO
the regret Of every AoOd and decent citizen In
California. This Maxwell knows as much about
horticulture as a hog does about music and IL is
a decided disgrace 10 this great ana glorious
country that such nOnentty should ever be aD-
pointed TO sueh high position. De Young has
made fool Of bimsef and injured every pro-
spect oil benefit which California might expect
from a high and intellectual representative at
the great far at Chicago. Nike has nurt him
self 10 this matter, for there are hundreds of men
in this State who could have been appointed for
this position ana would have filed 1t 10 the salts

W such a man as this Maxwell is an Insult to the
grand State Of California"
Now 1T a Kansas farmer be appointed chief of
