A POOR RULE.

The old adage says that it is a poor rule
that will not work both ways. According
to that the Southern Pacific Company es-
tablished a poor rule when it required
aspirantS for the Legislature to vote a cer-
tain way on measures that were to come be-
fore that body. The Traffic Association
adopted the same method last fall, pedging
aspirants for the Legislature to support
certain measures which it intended to pre-
sent. Mr.. Martin, the Southern Pacific
Company's attorney, now says that this
was wrong. The Traffic Association had
no right to pledge members in advance.
They might want TO change their minds.
A pledged member is not open to argument
His mind is made up. Ii is all very well TO
have minds made up in favor Of the South
ern Pacific. but quite another thing when
made up against that corporation.

hideous story was brought out in bold relief
by the recaat Congressional Investigation.
New York proposes to require licenses both
to carry and to retail coal, and maximum

ulators were placed under restraint.
Mayor Ellert went to Sacramento with
a bill to abolish the House of Correction as

pursue, in tead Of building an entirely new

Broadway Is overcrowded at times, but
there is space and TO spare in the House of
Correction, and it should be utilized as far
as possible.
The biographers or Observation-Disclosures
are in unseemly haste with life of James
q. Blaine. His body is hardly cold in the
ground. and yet numbers of biographies are
announced. The mob OF scribblers have
re ceived fair warning from Mrs. Blaine that
their lab0rs are not relished orauthorized by
the family. From this it follows that they
viii not have access to letters or undisclosed
official papers. When the time comes to
present a life of Mr.. Blaine the country will
expect to see worthy portrait at full length,
not a half-blocked caricature.

COUNTY DIVISION BILLS.

There are nineteen county division bills
before the Legislature. As a rule, there is
nothing more pressing behind them than a
desire on the part Of politicians to hold
Office. The more county seats the more
offices, the more taxes. the more cOnVen-
lions for politicians to manipulate There
are now fifty-four counties in California,
with perhaps eight or ter which have popu-
lati0n enough to support R county govern
ment There are bat sixteen counties
which have a population of 1900 and up
ward. The other thirty eight counties
range between 1900 and 1000. except AL
pine. which has only COZ people all told. of
whom but 40 are whites. Ii the rage for
county division continues an amendment to
the constitution will be in order.

CHINESE RAILWAYS.

The time for the westernizing OF China
with modern ideas of improvement is SEEM
ingly still in the dawn stage. A bit of a
railroad was pottered with on the Woosuug.
near Shanghai, about twenty years ago.
Another railroad was projected and par
italy constructed a few years ago to open
up coal fields. Recently the railroad idea
was supposed TO have overcome all preju-
dices. and the empire was to be opened up
by grand trunk line extending north and
south from Picking to Bankow and thence
20 Canton. 1t was a magnificent conception,
and by entrustiDg the work to Il. Z. Chang,
the "foreign devir' was to be kept at arm
length, and have no share in the develop
ment Of the Flowery Land. But according
to the Shanghai Mercury the coal for the
undertaking has yet to be dug and the iron
smelled. Not mile Of road has been laid,
and there are no signs ofmoVement

lie has never given evidence of the mental
quality known as Imagination. His free
trade ideas are yenturesome but not origt-
nal They are the ideas rather Of a Bour-
bon who learns nothing from experience
than of a statesman who aspires 10 link his
name to great national movement. Most
Americans are in favor Of letting Canada
wait until she is firmly convinced that she
wants to come in. The Hawaiian situation
does not apply to Canada. The latter can
govern itself. 1t has in fact originated and
developed an internal and external policy
which compares faVorably with any similar
policy ever carried out BIZ the United States.

THEY WANT PROTECTION.
Attorneys Will Try to Prevent Clients
From Pooling Them.

From all accounts the practice Of the law
is not Of such roseate coIoring as many
would believe.
The lawyers have their tribulations, and
number Of them propose appealing to the
Legislature TO relieve that noble profession
OF some Of its rigors.
1t appears that among the attorneys who
have a small fry clientage there is consider
able woe.
The clients who have got good causes OF
action but no money TO secure justice,
generally induce some kind hearted at
torney to prosecute their rights on a con-
tingent fee, and to advance all the costs.
After suit has been entered and every
thing Is going along swimmngly from the
attorneys standpoint. then the crash comes.
The attorney wakes up o the fact that he
has a dead case on his hands. The li.igantS
have squared" matters without considering
the attorney in the matter at all.
The poor iil-treated attorney is then COM
PEELED to endure the modification OF having
his own case stricken from the calendar and
to bear all the costs.
The new law that will probably be sub
mitted to the Legislature will do away with
all contingencies Of this kind.
1t VIII make it impossible for client TO
settle without the consent CT his attorney
after action has been entered.
In all probability, as ii is to be drawn up
in the interests of the attorneys, il will be
sure to hold water in legal sense so far as
its constitutiODalitg is concerned.

dent Of the State horticultural exhibit al
Chicago returned to this city yesterday. 4
He stated that he has forwarded the Cali
fornia scale Judging citrus fruits 10 j.

ment Mr. Samuels in acknowledging its
ceipt cannot state whether it WILL be adOp
or not. but Mr.. Wells feels certain that
will be used in rettrSice 20 California fru
The scale IS indorsed by the State Board

is followed by classified tables grading the
several qualities enumerated.
Mr.. Samuels writes Mr.. Wells that the
committee on awards has decided that one
expert shall do the judging, and that citrus
fruits viii compete for merit only aud not
one against another.
Mr.. Wells states that the Duarte and Azu-
"a dos Angeles County, people had con-

10 the State Citrus Fair, but as the judges

lie institute prizes are confined entirely to
the merits of the displays without reference
to quality. they probably will not bring up
their fruit.
He states that correspondence was had
with reference to a proposed citrus exhibit

April before the Columbian Fair was
opened. Not arriving at any definite con-
clusion lie telegraDhed to Chicago to ask t
space could not be borrowed from the other
s ates for a citrus exhibit ut the opening of
the fair. If not for that date lie asked if it
could be borrowed for a citrus fair at the
earlier date suggested. and il held at the
earlier date whether they could have a share
of the gate ecs pts. He received the fol-
lowing reply:
Cannot divide gate receipts. May not he
able TO borrow fi0m States exhibiting
space free" This answer is disappointing
as Mr.. Wells was able 10 promise $4,000
exhibit in March and April, and could not
see why they could not allow portion Of
the gate receipts at that time. it being be-
fore the formal opening OF the fair

Association will aid to the extent of $500 in

This board will have the use OF the interior
Of the palace for the exhibition Of fabrics

Mr.. Wells sent out circulars some time
since asking what the different counties
would contribute TO supply the roof garden
space on the California building. The
Southern California Worlds Fair Associa-
ton offer to fill one-half of the space with
rare trees, plants aud flowers.
