operation OF such q proposition, viz:
How, for example, could the producer Of
q patented lilac, pear, or chrysanthemum
be adequately protected BY any feaaible
method ofregulation against tthe unathor-
lied reproduction of the patented plant,
fruit, or flower? Would the pur-
chaser of single specimen be restricted
from propagating the variety, or would
he be at liberty to grow it to any extent
he pleased, 60 long as he made emo sales !
Manifestly it would not be easy to mark
plants as patented in such way as to
render the mark irremovable; and the
safeguards against ready infringement
would be much less effective than those
which surround other patented articles.
To issue patents for plants will be prac-
ticable enough; but we fear it will be
impossible to afford any real protection
to plant growers by means OF such in
etrumente.

Governor Pattison Asks Relief for the
OIL Creek Sufferers.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, June Ga telegram
has been received from Titusville saying
over fifty bodies have been recovered,
and the number will probably reach one
hundred. Money is needed for the
homeless.
A telegram from Governor Pattison
says: "Have issued a proclamation
aeking for relief for the citizens of
Northwestern Pennsylvania"
The following has been received from
the mayor of Oil City:
1.-THE situation here becomes hourly
more appalling. Sixty-three bodies have
been recovered 80 far. Tie food is sub
siding and many more will undoubtedly
be found. Over hundred families are
homeless. The loss is estimated at from
5000, 900 to 81, 200, ,000."
At citizens meeting held here this
afternoon it was decided to send q COM
mittee to the oil regions to administer
relief to the unfortunate inhabitants OF
the stricken district. At the head OF
the committee is Mayor Gourley and
James B. Scott, director OF the Johns
town relief force. Complete arrange
ments have been made for the trans
portation of all supplies to the sufferers,
and nothing is being left undone TO rem
der aid generously and without delay.

THE California delegation to Mime.
apols held meeting yesterday, and an
effort was made to cast the vote of this
state as unit for Blaine. Mr.. Spence
seems to have been the only one who
openly opposed the proposition. One
of the delegates declared that Harrison
had ignored California in his important
appointments, and said that her people
were very enthusiastic for Blaine. II
Mr.. Spence is the only delegate from
this state who favors Harrison, and be
prevents it from voting as a unit, he
may be the cause of missing an oppor-
tunity OF placing California in position
to count upon important recognition
from Blaine, should he become presi-
dent. There is no doubt that the Cali.
fornia delegation, if it would lead off as
the first gun from the northern states
for Blaine, would have powerful influ-
ence upon the waveripg element in the
convontion

THE city attorney says that the city
need not wait for the outfall sewer con-
troversy to be carried to the supreme
court. as the law of eminent domain is
not stayed by appeal proceedings. Per
haps this is SO; but Mr.. Freeman says
there is property at Inglewood belonging
to non-citizens, who will carry the ques-
tion into the United States courts. But
it is to be doubted whether the United
States courts would seriously interfere
in a matter of this kind, which is purely
the exercise of police power which
belongs exclusively to the sovereign
rights of the states. OF course it can be
carried to the highest federal courts on
questions Of law, and that would con-
sumo time.

IF THE Electric Car company only
mean that they want the use of the
Buena Vista street bridge in order to get
rolling stock on the east side OF the river,
there can be no objection. But if this is
the first atep in move to permanent
ly occupy the bridge for their tracks,
serious objection will be interposed.
The Buena Vista bridge was built as a
driveway for public use, and to give a
corporation the right of trackway overi it
would be perversion OF that use and OF
the powers Of the city council.

TERESA DE cABoRA.

Henry Chevaller Tells About tho Young
Woman
Henry Chevalier, former Angelefio,
is in the city after residence Of eighteen
months in Sonora and Guaymas. Henry
was on the train with Teresa de Cabora
all the way from Guaymas to Hernno-
sillo. This is the young woman who
was expelled from the country, and who
is now on the American side at Nogales.
He says thatshe was met at every station
by scores of Mexicans who rushed in and
shook hands with her. The Mexicans
have the greatest confidence in this
young woman. She is reported TO have
cured several cases OF leprosy.
Miss Cabora is rather an intelligent
looking young woman of olive complex
ion.
Mr.. Chevalier also told a HERALD
representative that Governor Luis
Torres has shown himself to be on many
occasions true friend of Americans.

fed to speak. The average time OF fruit
freight transit across the continent has
been reduced from fourteen to seven
days, and is likely to be still further
cut. AS close connection can be made

ers, we can extend our market to Eng

BLArNR,s MORAL oBrusENRss.

The fatal defect in MIR. Blame ID MS
obtuseness of moral perception. A man
of wonderful powers of intellect and
spirit. and consequently of most wonder
full influence over his fellow men, in
tensely ambitious (which il not fault)
and we'll equipped to realize the objects
of his ambition, yet this fatal weakness,
which failed to keep his ambition
within the lines which more sensitive
moral nature, not by process of reason
ing but instinctively, prescribes, has
been characteristic of him from youth
to old age. It has marred an otherwise
noble character, has rendered futile his
splendid abilities and has constantly
prevented his taking the highest place
in the respect OF his countrymen. 1t is
a pity. But it was inevitable.
Our acts our angels are; or good or Ill.
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
Mr.. Blaine is no exception. 1t is aa
true for him as for smaller men.
Mr.. Harrison had been led by Mr..
Blaine TO believe that Mr.. Blame would
not, under any circumstances, be a
candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Blaine had
induced the same belief in the minds Of
Mr.. Harrison's friends, including the
other members Of the cabinet of which
Mr.. Blaine was chief. Acting on this
belief, of which Mr.. Blaine was the
author, Mr.. Harrison and his friends
had planned and conducted their can
vass for making the president his own
successor. And yet, during almost the
entire last month of the canvass, on the
eve of the contamination of their plans,
when twas too late to guard against
the new danger, Mr.. Blaine consorts and
cbunsels, at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
New York, and finally at Washington,
with those who openly proclaim them.

the purpose of their consultations, to
prevent his nomination. ~-.5 e4 4,
Is it any wonder. that the president
and Mr.. Blaine's associates in the cabi
net regard him with suspicion and Al
unfaithiul to his promises? Mr.. Blaine
however, complains Of it and resigns hi
secretaryship because he is treated by
the gentlemen with whom hewas off
cially associated as guilty Of moral dere'
liction.
The president and these other gentle
men were right in 80 regarding him, and
the svmpathiee of the people will be
with Mr.. Harrison as against Mr.. Blaine
in this matter. Mr.. Blaine should have
said to Platt, Quay, Clarkson and the
rest: II cannot entertain any propo
ton for my candidacy as against the
other avowed candidates and as against
Mr.. Harrison I cannot even hold any
conversation with you on the subject

OREGON ELECTIONS.

Two Republican Congressman Elected
by Large Pluralities.
PORTLAND, Ore, June GA heavy
vote was polled for congressman today
in this city, and the results of the Aus
tralian ballot law are very satisfactory
so far. There were four tickets
in the field. The. straight Republican,
Citizens and Democratic combined,
Prohibition and Peoples. Besides there
were one or more independent candidates
for the other offices.
There was great amount of scratch
ing.
The total vote in this city was IL 800.
At midnight less than 500 votes. have
been counted. Ellis (Republicano, for
congress in the second district, received
312; Slater, 1873. If this ratio is-main-
tained, Ellis's plurality in this city,
which comprises nearly half Of the dis
trict, will be about 1000, and this. it is
thought, will be about his majority in
this district.
In the first district 1t is thought Her
mann (Rep.) for congress has polled the
full party vote, and, basing the estimate
on meagre returns from three counties,
hie plurality will be $500. 'lase
1t is estimated the plurality for Moore
(Rep.) for supreme judge will be 1000.
Partial returns from six counties in
the first congressional district give Her
mann (Republican) 1900 plurality. The
same counties in 1890 gave 26l9 Repub-
lican plurality.
