SHAKEY CALIFORNIA.
SAN Francisco. Cal, April 90, '92

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April %, '92.
| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
After years absence from your grand
old state, sojourning most of the time in
this ''shakey" golden shore. l drop in on
you now with this message, by permits
sion of Mr. Wanamaker. AS we have an
AK to grind, few facts may be of some
little interest to your many readers, rela-
tive to the great state of California. For
want of space we cannot go into detail;
giving an itemized account of the many
resources of this Pacific coast, and men,
ton the $50 earthquakes that have met
here in the committee of the ''hole,"
without the necessary delegates that are
usually selected to represent the dear
people" on all most important occasions
the past forty,years. Will say, however,
that while such ''jumbos" are not at all
fiuence man to mend his wicked ways.
'Quakes" taken just before chill time
will quake off the ague, liver
complaint shaken up. The first rattle
out of the box, water on the brain cured
without charge. The dumb cured-the
mother-in-law in silenced-who then
can say that California Earthquake"
is not good for something? The dullness
of the times, though, had no noticeable
effect on the quake. Twenty dollar
places cannot readily command more
than SD spot cash. A greater portion of
h.
state have mortgages on them. Many
real estate dealers would be more than
surprised to get a cash purchaser for
anything in their line.
This state reminds me Of the old war
song 10y way of ilius;ration). The song
says: "a great big house and nobody
living it, way down in Ala
bama." This great California is as
large as ten Of the smallest eastern states
and vet there is only a little over one
million inhabitants in the 3j0x7j0 miles
OF state. Much land not occupied only
by horned toads, jack rabbits and other
varmints never viii be fit TO raise any
other crap" a large amount Of land
has been piled up.
Good land is scarce, hence $500 to ST.
500 per acre Is considered cheap. Water

live on climate and strangers-that is ali
the stock IN trade with a little fruit
thrown in-that can any boast be made
OF. Keep away the tenderfoot (stran- /
ger and the one lunged unfortunate, |
and there would be nothing TO support !
the people Of California In general.
Money and influence Is ali that IS 1

General Benjamin Franklin Butler,
the hero of Dutch Gap, Bermuder Hun
dreds and other "bottling up episodes.
is out in an article in the North Amer
can Review, in which he declares that
this government should never have con-
sented to the arbitration of the Boring
sea controversy, for the reason that a
majority of the arbitrator chosen to de-
eide the question at issue, will be Sc
Iected by England and that, therefore,
the decision is foregone conclusion,
implying of course that it will be against
the United States. What a pity it Is
that the administration at Washington
did not have the forethought, the pres
ence of mind, to call the redoubtable
general into counsel and get the benefit
of his sagacity and high courage. But
we can still hope for the best, despite
the generals evil forebodings.

ready declared their intention of sup
porting his candidacy. The political

strong assurance of success to the Re-

The Wyoming petticoat politicians nc
doubt think they are playing smart
scheme to work the national Republican
party for formal recognition and en-
dorsement Of the claims of the woman
suffragists. If Wyoming wants her
women to vote and hold office, it is her
privilege to confer that favor. but she
must not be disappointed or feel aggriev-
ed if the national convention declines to
be made party to her scheme, by re-
fusing admission to a woman delegate,
as 1t ought, and no doubt will.

Jacob A. Riis, the author of "How the
other half lives" repeats his first success
which has gained him such wide recog-
milton. This time he finds most con-
genial subject in ''The children OF the
poor in New York-a phase of life to
which his sympathies strongly attract
him. Dir. Riis knows the gamin at first
hand. through his many years of news
paper work at police headquarters. The
result is that this article is filled with
incidents and stories illustrating the
life of the children-its humor and
pathos, the element of good that is
always manifested in them, and the
methods which have so far proved most
efficient in developing it. There is
nothing further i'll professional philan-
throphy than the spirit of Mr.. Riis's
article, and it appeals strongly to all
right-thinking people by its humanity,
The many illustrations in the article are
made from photographs taken by Mr..
Riis of actual characters and scenes
referred to in his text.

way that makes that issue unique. The

style of illustration. With hardly an
exception, the number is entirely made
up of original works of art and all by
the best artists that could be found.
There has never been a number of any
magazine that contained so high class
