FOOL QUESTIONS,

The gentleman whose answers indicated the
imost practical mind was Joseph Fox, Presi-
dent of the Columbia Bank. To ten of these
fool questions he returned ten DO not

man who carried the most of that kind of

is only now and then man who tries to
tore such facts in mind. When a fact is
aulsd they will call it up in a different

yer that Lincoln was elected in 1860 and
was inaugurated in 1861. This is kind Of
historical landmark from which excursions
may be made either way. Buchanan was
LiBcoln's immediate predecessor, and Pierce,
Buchanan's. In this way when a tact is
wanted it may be fished for and found. But
busy men do not willingly take time to dig
up facts Of this nature except when they are

4nen they called upon.

FREE SUGAR IN CANADA.

The new administration in Canada inau-
gurated its assumption of office by repeal
ing the sugar duties. This will involve a
sacrifice of about S2So0,OOO Of revenue
which Mr.. Abbott proposes to make up by
increased duties on spirituous liquors and
tobacco. Our sacrifice was greater. We
surrendered S6o,000.o00 of revenue from
duties and the bounty on homegrown sugar
will cost S10,000.OO0 more. In both coun-
tries the voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of pro-
life source OF income was commended on
the ground that it would cheaper an article
of prime necessity to the laboring man.
Whether it will do so it is yet too soon to
decide At the present time sugar is cheaper
than usual Granuated is quoted at 81
cents in this market, but it has been 81
cents before and we must walt for al least a
year before we can state positively that the
body of the people-and not the refners-
have got the money which the Government
has lost.
The prime effect Of the rereal Of the
sugar duty in Cannda will be to promote the
establishment of sugar refneries in that
country. MIR. Spreekels, in recent inter-
view, seemed to consider that hardship

and from his point of view his opinion is
natural, but the mass of the American peo-
pie see no reason why the Canadians should
not refine their own sugar II they are IN
position to do so. Some years ago they made
an experiment in that direction which was
not successful. In order to head off the
annexation movement in Nova Scotia Sir
John Macdonald subsidized a sugar refinery
in that Province, but the subsidy did not
save the enterprise. Sugar refining has
undergone such changes In the past ten or
twelve years, and so many improvements
have been introduced into the machinery,
that no refinery can now compete unless IL
is equipped with the newest appliances and
handles sugar according to the most recent
discoveries. Still, probably, If necessary,
capital from this side of the line would not
be wanting to erect a frst-class modern re-
fuery at Victoria, if it became necessary to
keep down prices on this Coast by compe-
tition.
The irrepressible issue between free trade
and protection has been brought up in the
Dominion Parliament by Mr.. Abbotts pol
icy on the sugar question. The Premier.
like his predecessor, is willing to negotiate
with the Government at Washington for
limited sort of reciprocity; but the leader
"a IiiO OppUSltlOu, OH
proposes negotiation for reciprocity upon
basis of the most extended freedom of
trade in manufactured as we'll as in natural
products" The Conservatives will natur-
ally be supported by the manufacturing ill.,
terest in Canada, while the agricultural in
terest, which is suffering from the increased
duties imposed on agricultural products by
the Mckinley act, will be likely to stand in
with the ihpralS As a nf m bprs
the farmers predominant over the indus
! trials; but in political influence. the rail
road being on the side of Canadian indus
try, the two elements are probably about
balanced.
The question which the administration at
Washington will have to determine is
whether this country should pursue the
same policy toward Canada as it has in
augurated with the other American coun-
tries, and whether, for the sake of obtain
ing the Canadian market for our manufac-
tured goods, we should admit Canadian raw
products free. 1t must not be forgotten that
Canada and the Spanish-American coun-
tries, however, do not stand on the same
ground toward the United States. With
the exception of Argentine, no Spanish
American country produces the article OF
which We have a surplus for export. They
cannot compete with US in cereals, or pro-
visions, or kerosene oil. or manufactured
goods. Canada, on the contrary, produces
precisely the same class of goods, raw and
| manufactured, that We produce; and if the
| frontier line were obliteratej for fiscal pur-
| poses, Canadian produce and Canadian
| wares would compete with us in our own
markets. Whether the disadvantage which
this would involve would be compensated
| by the admission free of duty into Canada
| OF our manufactured goods is the question
| which the Government at Washington will
| have to consider when the Canadian Com
miSsioners lay their case before the State

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

The Iowa Republicans do not in theirnew
platform offer any apologies for the past.
They indorSe the Mckinley tariff with an
especial emphasis on the reciprocity clause.
They commend the last Congress for its
care of old soldiers. The appropriations OF
the last Congress are declared to have been
necessary to the development of the cOun-
try. On the silver question the Iowa r.
publicans are in full accord with the Harri-
on admins tratiOn. Prohibition is State
estle, and the plank the party adopted is
teaffinned. The temporary Chairman,
John Y. Stone, made telling speech.

the issue more this year than ever. Mr..
Stone made illusions to Mr.. Blaine which

An Important New Law.

As this hot weather makes field fires very
serious, perhaps it will be well to publish
the following new law passed by the Legis-
lature and now in full fierce. 1t reads:
Every person who starts fire in hay,
stubble or grass, without first carefully pro-
viding by plOwlng or otherwise for the
keeping of said fire within and upon which
it is started or set out, and by the reason of
Gon-providing of such barrier any property
of any adjoining or contiguous resident or
owner is injured, damaged or destroyed, is
guilty of misdemeanor"

TWO DECISIONS.
Two Modoc County Cases Decided by
the Supreme Court.
One Judgment is Affirmed, but In the
Second Case the Court Orders
Another Trial.

The following Supreme Court opinions
were filed in the Deputy Clerks Office in
this city on Saturday:
Hannah h. Hick VS.. Ezra Thomas zap
pellant). The action was to set aside a
conveyance of real estate and bill Of sale
OF personal property, on the ground of
fraud and duress. The defendant ap-
pealed from the Judgment and order re-
fusing q new trial.
The Supreme Court says: There is a
general finding that the deed and bill of
sale were procured by the defendant by
duress, menace, undue influence, and
fraud. This is not as specific as it ought
To have been, but it is q finding of ulti-
mate facts upon which the Judgment de-
pends, and the defendant has not been
injured by the failure to find more spe-
officially. We think the Judgment and
order should be affirmed"
The ease was appealed from Modoc
County.
ANOTHER MODoC WATER CASE.
c. q. Dorris appellant VS.. John Sulli-
van. This case was also appealed from
Modoc County and is an action TO recover
damages for the diversion Of water by the
defendant from the plaintiffs s Water-ditch,
and to perpetually Cnjoin the defendant
from diverting water from the said ditch
in the future. Judgment went for the
the Judgment and an order denying a
new trial.
After reciting the facts of the case and
commenting on the testimony the Su-
preme COurt says that the issue actually
tined was the right to 4 permanent case
ment in the plaintiffs real ditch property,
and to maintain this on his part the de-
iendant was permitted TO introduce in
evidence verbal contract between Chap
man ana the plaintiff.
Chapman, before the construction of
the ditch, had granted to the plaintiffthe
right Of way for ditch through the land
Iii question. To admit verbal contract
under the guise and name of license, TO
prove permanent easement, or servitude
upon real property would be to evade
and defeat the statute Of frauds.
The trial court erred in admitting the
deposition OF Chapman as to the verbal
contract between him and the plaintiff,
and for this error the Judgment is re-
versed and new trial is granted.
