LANDED ON HIS FEET.

The Record Union believes that in his
handling of the Hawaiian question Presi-
dent Cleveland has landed on his feet
The Sacramento journal arrives at this
conclusion by assuming that in determin-
ing the part Minister Stevens played in the
revolution the condition of affairs when
the revolution broke out should be disre-
garded. 1t seems to US that the most i'm
portant point to consider was If there was
cause for a revolution without any
material Minister Stevens may have con-
tributed. The burden Of the Presidents
message was that Minister Stevens had
favored a revolution and extended to it I'M
warranted support. Minister Stevens
AYERS that he did not favor the revolution
and only extended such aid as was war
ranted by standing instructions. Now,
how shall we arrive at the truth of a mat
ter in which men not intending to tell an
untruthl disagree? Is not the readiest way
10 find out what conditions prevailed at
the islands just before the revolution?
Was there real reason why men of good
standing should incur the perils of treason
Had the existing Government done any
thing which justified the resort to the right
of revolution? If these two questions are
answered in the affirmative the reasona Die
conclusion is that the revolution took place
without the active agency of the American
Minister. If they are answered in the
negative the inference would be equally
fair that Minister Stevens was al the bot
tom Of the movement. The Record Union
says quite correctly that the United States
should not allow its foreign policy to be
directed by its sympathies. The question
under consideration is not one of SYM
pathiss. The real point is if Minister
Stevens overthrow the Queens Govern
ment with or without cause. If he did he
erred. But the weight of evidence is that
the movement was natural result from
the Queens attempt to reign without a

SOLID SUCCESS.

The compliment paid by the Mechanics
Institute to the Union Iron Works Com
pany and workmen is unusual but well
deserved. The firm, aided by its undreds
OF we'll trained mechanics has achieved
no mean triumph in shipbuilding for wal
purposes. 1t is not success in an isolated
instance, but in a number, and the latest
achievement is the most conspicuous sue
cess. There must be brain and skill of tne
highest order behind this exceptional
work, and it is well to let the world know
it. The cruiser Olympia could be matched
for speed, finish and serviceability against
the representative vessels of all the other
navies of the world and would come out of
the comparison brilliantly. She is the case
of vessel completed far in excess of con-
tract efficiency. and that is characteristic
not commonly found in contract work

this sort. Their fame goes everywhere and

lines which are properly part of the sys-

reorganized under Congressional legisla-
ton and subjected to sale under the direc-
ton of a court. 1t is held that reduction
may be made in the fixed interest charges
to an extent which will enable the road to
meet legitimate obligations. The reorgani-
cation of the Union Pacific presents case
in equity which is not peculiar to that
company. The company has been paying
interest good many years on a fictitious
debt. Several private fortunes of colossal
proportions have been extracted from the
profits Of the system. Unless all invest-
cations have been delusiye money which
has been realized from the sale of bonds
has been Incorporated. In this way
the road has been saddled with fixed inter-
est charges which brought the company
into bankruptcy. The question is if legis-
latlon has any remedy by which misapprO-
priated money may be recovered. The
bonds have largely gone into the hands of
innocent purchasers. 1t may be impos-
sible to distinguish between bonds the
proceeds OF which have been devoted to
legitimate uses and bonds the proceeds of
which have been Incorporated. If
there is any way to reach rascalities of
this nature it would he worth all it can

WOOL-GROWERS IN COUNCIL.

The wOol-growers and wool-dealers of
this city have taken steps to fight the Will
son tariff bill in Congress. There will be
a convention of men eng ged in this bust
ness on the 10th of next month. at which
steps will be taken to make opposition
effective. OF all the raids upon American
industries contemplated by the Wilson
bill the removal of the duty on raw wool
is perhaps the most indefensible. 1t at
tacks an industry which employs thou
sands of men and millions of money
American wool supplies the bulk of the
stock consumed by our wool factories aud
is as subject to foreign competition as the
manufacture of wool. 1t cannot be urged
that the duty on wool prevents exporta-
ton of American cloth since the McKin-
ley act provides for rebate of 90 per cent
of the duty paid for the raw material in
exported cloth. At present our expert of
wooden goods is not large. We are en-
gagged in the work of supplying our own
market with homemade goods. Our prog
ress under the Mckinley bill was salts
factory until the threat of reduced duties
caused our mills to partly suspend opera
tons. Very naturally the mills did not
like to be caught with heavy stocks OF
domestic cloth on hand when the foreign
article should be cheapened by the reduc
ton of the duties. The wool-growers.
both in this State and in States nearer the
seat of government, have been rather slow
in making their protest. Ii they had made
themselves heard before the bill was re-
ported the committee might have been in
duced to forego their avowed purpose to
put wool on the free list.

WHAT Is THE MATTER?

A few weeks ago New York journals
were assuring the benighted country re-
gions that the only par 10 prosperity was
the si!ver-purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act. Congress put in force the edict
New YORK had issued. But the repeal of
the act does not seem to have worked the
change that was expected. There are
ST.. 937. 600 of idle money now in the banks
OF New York. The owners of it are will
Ing to lend it on good security. but they
do not seem anxious to put IL into work.
They want the other fellow to take the
chance. This is naturally the condition
which attends the inauguration Of policy
to contract the currency. While money is
going up everything else is going down.

LASK A RECEIVER.
He Will Assume Charge
of the TivOIi.
John Kreling Filed His Expected
Answer to Mrs. Kreling's Suit.
To Prove His Claim.

The much talked of compromise in the
dispute between William Kreling's widow
and John Kreling for the possession and
managership of the Tivoli has net taken
place after all twill be left to the Su-
perior Court to decide whether or not John
Kreling was a partner in the concern at
the time of William krellng's death.
Attorney Herbert Choynski walked into
the County Clerks Office yesterday after
noon and filed on behalf Of John KIellDg
an answer and cross-complaint TO the In
junction suit recently brought by Ernestine
Kreling against John to restrain him from
interfering with the management of the
Tivoli Grand Opera-house. OF which
she claims to be sole proprietor. In his an
swer John Kreling denies all the allega-
tions contained In the complaint with re-
gard to the termination of his connection
with the Tivoli on May II. 1886, and while
admitting that on his brother Williams
death he retained possession of the Tivoli
against the wish OF the widow he main
tains that it was not necessary 10 obtain
her consent.
John Kreling goes on to say, by way of
cr0ss-complaint, that he had been in CO.
partnership with his brother William in
l. Il
of Williams death. He considers the
Tivoli worth $4,000. Now he charges his
dead brother WiiIam with having during
his lifetime appropriated to his own use
large sum of money in excess of his share
of The co-partnership profits. That sum is
estimated at 100000. John Kreling main
tains that the William Kreling estate is
lnsolvent, and that Mrs. Kreling is still
collecting money OF which she is keeping no
record and for which she gives no ac-
counting.
On these grounds John Kre!ing asked
that n accounting be taken and that
receiver be appointed to take charge OF the
Tivol until the partnership dispute is
Settied at law.
Immediately upon the filing OF this
document notice was sent 10 the parties
interested and all assembled in the after
noon before Presiding Judge Sanderson.
The attorneys for Mrs. Kreling seemed
inclined to oppose the appointment of
receiver, but Judge Sanderson said that an
order would be made to that effect. and
the parties withdrew into the Judges
chant ers to fix upon suitable person to
act in that responsible capacity.
Eventually Harry j. Lask, notary
public and brother of the present stage
manager of the Tivoli, was chosen as
receiver and held under $1,000 bonds. He
will be held responsible for all moneys
received and disbursed until such time as
it is definitely settled whether or not John
kreling is the surviving partner of the
firm OF kreling Brothers.

WANTS HIS COMMISSION.
DIR. McQuesten's Big Claim against
the Hale Estate.

i suit to recover large amount of
money has been filed in the Superior Court
by DR.. Charles a. McQuesten against
Flores, Hale d Co., josephine. c. II. and
Robert j. l.. Boyle and Hermann l.. Z.
Meyer as the executor of the estate of
Joseph p. Hale, deceased.
1t is stated in the complaint that DR..
McQussten. who is medical practitioner in
this city, was employed by the defendants
to proceed to Mexico and negotiate the
sale of an enormous piece of property.
The property was alleged to consist of
4.000,000 acres, having 400 miles frontage
on the Pacific coast and close to Magda-
lena Bay, in Lower California. The price
to be asked was S1.000,000, of which DR..
MeQuesten was to receive $500, 600 as his
regular commission at the rate of 20 per
cent.
DR.. McQuesten states that he proceeded
to Mexico as described. and after some lit
tie BILE succeeded in finding purchaser
for the property. When, however. every
thing was ready for the completion of pur-
chase aud the title came to be investigated
1t was found TO be defective and the nego-
tiatiOns fell through. But DR.. McQuestea
claims that he is entitled 20 bis $500, 900
just the same, and he now sues for that
amount, together with 5000 that he claims
To have expended on the trip, during which
time he was forced to abandon lucrative

LAND VALUES.

correspondent proposes an amend
ment to Mr.. Thomas Magee's proposition
to advertise California and its scenery as
means of attracting immigrants that the
price Of land and real estate generally be
reduced to reasonable figures. He adds:
The general complaint is that land is too high
in this State, aud this fact keeps thousands OF
people from coming here TO live. Men and their
families can't live on sunny climate nor beautl-
full and grand scenery; they must have land,
and they ought TO have il at reasOna BILE prices.
Who would pay 500 or $3.50 per acre for land
here when they can get plenty of frst-class
soil east of the Rocky Mountains for one-third
of that amount? II is wonder to me that the
noble State OF California continues to work
against its Own interest. Reduce the price of
land and make the fact Known throughout the
whole world and thousands Of industrious peo-
pie will pour in and make California their per-
manent home.
While there is without doubt a g0Odly
portion of the uncultivated land in this
Stale held at prices which are only iusti-
fed on the ground of future apprecia-
tlon. there is another goodly portion which
can be purchased on reasonable terms.
Offers OF land IN the vicinity OF sugar beet
factories have been made on terms that
would enable the purchaser to pay for it
in three average seasons. LAND suitable
for fruit growing has advanced in price
from $50 per acre in its natural condition
to $500 In the fourth or fifth year. While
no one can live on climate. land with a
climate that ripens all kinds of fruit is
worth much more than land which for
climatic reasons produces crop of grain
hut once in three years. An acre OF fruit
trees in good bearing condition produces
from $50 to 500 worth of fruit a year
with no more expense than attends or
binary crops. OF course, purchaser of
land adapted TO fruit is not willing to pay
what the land will be worth in the fourth
or fifth year of fruit cultivation, but he
should be willing to pay more than if the
land could only be made to produce a crop
worth from SIS to $50 an acre. In fixing
what is reasonable prices" the possibili-
ties Of soil and climate should be con-
sidered.
