The Red Cross Society.

Senator Sherman has introduced in
the senate bill to incorporate the Red
Cross society, with Clara Barton, George
Kennan and other well known persons
as incorporators. The purpose of this
society, briefly stated, is to mitigate dis
tress in the emergencies of war and
peace. This mission of humanity and
charity has been amply justified on
many occasions, and nowhere more nota-
bly, than in the appalling calamity at
Johnstown, in this state. Valuable as
the Red Cross society has proven in the
past as volunteer auxiliary of the gov
ernmental departments its future in an
incorporated form should show an in
creased measure of usefulness. Phila-

THE telegraph states that four carloads
of Pinkerton men arrived at the Penn
sylvania coke regions yesterday, where
there has been turbulence because of
striking coal miners. The existence of
these private purchasable troops, for
such these men are, is disgrace to this
era. The governor of Pennsylvania has
declined to call out the militia, as he
considers the civil authorities are able
to cope with the trouble. If they can
not he will undoubtedly order out the
national guard. But why Pinkerton
men? They are cold blooded unofficial
men hunters. who slay for the side that
pays them. The only duty they know is
that due to the dollar. Congress should
take cognizance of the existence of this
private army which is always for sale in
our midst.

COLD FACTS FOR CANADIANS.

Mr.. Pixley some weeks ago drew in
the Argonaut pen picture OF the hard
life that California farmers have to en-
dure. He claimed that they have to
pay exorbitant rates of interest on loans,
that the money they borrow they have
to use for living expenses, and that the
future contained for them nothing but
loss and hardship.
This lucubration, an editor of Vic
toria British Columbia) paper recently
used as the basis for an editorial. He
appears to have taken what Mr.. Pixley
said seriously, a fact for which the bril-
liant editor OF the Argonaut should be
duly thankful, for surely such thing
seldom happens. This Victoria editor
gravely pictures the terrible mistake
that Canadian farmers would commit,
if they emigrated to this state, and by
some very pretty calculations proves to
them that they are much better off
raising chilblains and frozen ears and
noses in Canada, than fruits in Califor-
mia.
Calculations are sometimes interest
ing, but are often deceptive; cold,
frozen facts, even in Canada, are much
more satisfactory, and one of the most
CONCEALED, solidiied facts in the world
is that farmers in Sout hern California
make more money than the members OF
that calling anywhere else on the foot
stool. The chamber of commerce has
collected statements of actual returns
from their land, made by farmers in
this country, and these show that the
net profits run from $500 an acre down
to $25 and $50. Probably the greater
number would run from $125 to $3.50 an
acre. These are not stories made up
for the entertainment of possible land
buyers, but statements made by honor
able, well-known men, which can be
verified with little trouble.

A CHICAGO EDITORS OPINION.

The orange carnival at Chicago has
aroused the poetic tendencies of an ed
itorial writer in the daily Herald of that
city in its issue of Sunday last. While
the language used is fervid to say the
least, it is still far within the bounds os
truth. Some extracts from the article
are as follows:
"If the visitor be lover OF fruit. and
especially if he be vegetarian, he be-
comes convinced that Southern Califor-
MIA occupies the original site of paradise
and that originally all oranges grew
without seed, and lemonade flowed
from the lime trees in Eden as sap flows
from sugar naples in Vermont. Even
the names seem to confirm this suppo-
sition, for here are Santa Barbara, San
Gabriel, Santa Monica, San Diego and
even Los Angeles. Surely Southern
California is at least, as its inhabitants
claim, halfway station to paradise,
and it is we'll known that many Celes-
tials dwell therein.
''The citrus fair is specially suggestive
of California's resources, and is intended
to be so. Advertising never took on a
more attractive CURSE than at present in
the exposition building. Undoubtedly
the exhibit will draw many Chicagoans
and their dollars to Ell Cajon and Pasa-
dena, to Rivera and Duarte, to the San
Gabriel valley and to Santa Barbara.
Southern California's climate has been
described by Bret Harte as half a year
of clouds and roses, half year of dust
and sky but to the exposition visitor
California is henceforth land of or
anges and lemons, land where gold
is plucked more readily from the trees
than dug from the earth.
Southern California exhibit enforces
the fact that California is now the great
est fruit country in the world. 1t is es-
timated that California will ship this
year from the orange orchards over 1000
carloads to the east, and lemons,
raisins and figs by the ton"
The estimate of carloads of oranges to
be shipped this season should read $500
cars at least.

PHYSICAL training is becoming very
popular with the young men of Los An
geles. The membership OF the Los An
geles Athletic club is increasing in a
most satisfactory manner, and. next to
the Olympic club of San Francisco, it is
the leading organization of the kind west
of Chicago. The club gymnasium is now
fitted up with the latest inventions for
physical culture, and the number of
business men in this city who spend half
an hour day in the gymnasium is on
the increase. They find that little
exercise every day is a wonderfully good
tonic for the system.

THE forcible ejectment of Ben Butler
from United States courtroom, in Bos-

was spectacle for gods and men to be-

his composure sufficiently to return to

THE reports from signal service crop
observers throughout Southern Califor-
MIA show that the last rains have done a
maximum of good and minimum of
harm. This is hard country for the

it, some of them last November did

Good morning, Mr.. PRESIDENT We
are all more than glad to see you, Dem
ocrats, Republicans, Alliance men and
Prohibitionists. Today we lay aside the
memory of the ballot-box battle and
bid you welcome.
You will be told while here all abou
our climate, our products, our resources,
our progress and our politics. We
know you will give all these matters
careful consideration, we know you will
enjoy yourself, we know you will be
delighted with what we have to show
you, and we know that when you roll
away from us, sitting in your easy chair
and watching the ever varying land
scape through the windows of your
Pullman, you will realize that nowhere
on your journey have you met people
more patriotic, more glad to honor you
and your great office, nor a people who
are working out their destiny amid half
the pleasurable surroundings and fac
tors that we enjoy. We trust that you
will be as glad to have come among us
as we are glad to have welcomed you.
By the way, Mr.. President, while it
may appear inconsiderate to bring up
business matters on such a festal occa-
sion. you will surely pardon us, if we
ask you to carefully observe a shabby,
half completed brick building on the
corner of Main and Winston streets.
If you compare the impression that
wretched little shanty makes on your
mind with the one you receive from an
observation of our beautiful city, the
HERALD is sure that we will have your
good influence in remedying the mistake
which is not yet consummated.
