TEXAS SOVEREIGNTY.

The State of Texas runs . sugar
farm by convict labor. The Legs
lature of that state recently passed
bill 10 accept the two-cent bounty
offered under the Mckinley law. Gov.
Hogg vetoed the oil, and winds up his
veto message with the following old
time state-soyereignty flourish of trum-
pets: The state IS sovereign of her
own affairs, and canGot be disturbed in
the leg climate exercises of her prer-
ogstlves. IL she desires to raise sugar
by convict labor, under no circumstaa-
ees could she With propriety ask or ac-
cept from any government license TO
do so. Nor could she yield to . super
vision OF her affairs by any officer not
subordinate 10 her own laws. For my
part shall protest and begin to strike
now while the precedent is new. For
no sum can this state afford TO sacrifice
pslnciple or imperil her sovereign
rights" This will doubtless relieve
the guoernatorial colo and the Legis-
laturc should then pass the bill over
MS head. II not, no ono will be the
loser but the state and it will not com.
pete quite so much with sugar makers
who employ honest laborers aud pay
better wages.

THEY WANTED TO KNOW.
The Grand Jurors Informed on the Old
City Hall Repairs.
The Board of Trustees Summoned-An
Alleged Land Fraud to be
Looked Into.

The Grand Jury held another session
yesterday morning.
The Board of City Trustees were in at
tendance, having been subpenaed for the
purpose of informing the jury what the
intention of the city government was
with reference to the restoration of the old
City Hall. The Grand Jury was con-
templating condemning the rickety old
building, but did not wish to do so if the
Trustees were making it safe and fit for
occupancy. The Trustees informed the
Investigators that contracts had been let
for repairs, which they thought would
make the structure as good as ever. The
water tank was to be strengthened, and
the entire system of plumbing of the
building was to be changed, so as to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of the build
ing.
1t was stated yesterday that the Grand
jury intends to investigate soon the
charge that h. Q. Miller, Trustee of the
State Library, induced lady employe in
the library to make false affidavit in re-
latlon to forty acres of 'tlieu,' which she
afterwards transferred to Miller, who is
said to have represented to her that it was
merely matter Of form.
me impression is prevalent Jhat the
Grand Jury would expire by statutory
limitation with the year. This belief ex-
lists because of a decision of Judge Arm
strong that the Grand Jury cannot hold
over from one year to another. Judge
Catlin has instructed the present Jury,
however, that they may pursue their
labors into 1892 if they find it necessary
or desirable to do 50.
1t is more than probable that the body
will continue its labors for at least a
month into the new year.

CITRUS CULTURE.

1t is Still on the Increase in the North
ern Half of the State.
The planting season is now on, and
people are giving their attention to the
matter Of putting out orchards. There
appears to be no cessation OF interest in
citrus culture in this part of the State, as
is evidenced by the fact that local firm
(the ". r. Strong Company is shipping
heavily Of orange and lemon trees.
That company has received its first
large consignment of orange trees, con-
sisting of eight carloads, from its nurs-
cries in Florida. The trees came through
on a special train over the Southern Pa
cific road, making the journey in the re-
li.arkable time of ten and half DAYS. As
a result, the trees have arrived in Califor-
MIA in splendid condition. Part OF the
shipment was dropped OFF in Southern
California, where the company have sew
efal nursery-yards, and the balance was
BROUGHT through to Sacramento. The
cofnnany have made large contracts to
supply orange trees both in Southern
California and in the northern and CEN
tral parts of the State.
NJ i. Gillett Is manager of the COM
pany's nurseries in Florida, and is de-
Serving of credit for the manner in which
he has grown the trees, and his careful
method in loading and shipping the cars.
lie also took the extra precaution of dis
injecting the trees before leaving Florida,
thus securing absolute safety against the
possibility OF importing into California
any scale or pest Of any kind.
The shipment above referred to con-
tanned upward of 100000 orange and
lemon trees. It is estimated that 200.000
trees will be planted this year in North

THE WILD MAN OF oAPAY.
An Individual Who is Creating Alarm
in That Neighborhood

The people of Capay, says the Wood
land Mail, are excited over the strange
and unaccountable actions OF a man who
is thought to be either crazy or wild. He
has been seen frequently in the hills
about Capay, but whenever he finds he is
seen he runs into the brush and gets out
OF sight.
The other night Ben Duncan, who lives
about two miles above Capay, was
aroused by the fierce barking of his dogs,
and went to the door just in time to see
the strange individual scaling the yard
fence. He is known to have visited and
broken into several houses lately, but his
only object appears to be to procure
something to eat. Constable Moore and
others have been securing the hills, but
have been unable to get close enough to
capture him, although he is frequently
seen. Neither has anyone been able to
obtain any description Of him, further
than he appears to be medium-sized
man.
The belief prevails with many that it is
WohlfrOm, who has either become de-
mented or is hiding about and waiting
under fear of venturing further. But it
is nothing more than mere supposition
as there are no grounds for basing such a
theory upon. But the people of the
neighborhood are thoroughly aroused,
and it is likely that his capture viii be
effected before long.
