what to write thereon, and when the

that 81 notices we're served on one man

that the collector charges So for each no.

into the hands OF official sharpers whose
trade it is to skin them alive. A des-
potism such as the fellahs of Egypt sui

TIE BACKwARDNsss OF THR CALIFoR-
MIA DISPLAY.

We have already alluded to the COM
plants about the bsckwardness of the
California display at the worlds fair.
This fact is very humilisting, the more
80 that the people of this state have
appropriated more money for the worlds
fair than those OF any other state in the
union. OF course somebody is to blame
for this lack OF energy and enterprise,
but the whole state will be the sufferer.
The telegraphic correspondent OF the
Examiner at Chicago echoes the com
plant that we have had from many
other quarters about this shameful dils-
toriness. Telegraphing from the fair
on the 4th, he says:
California displays in all of the de-
partments are still tagging. The fruit
display is incomplete, and neither straw
berries nor cherries have come. The
packing COMPANIES are away behind,
which Id foolish, for their rivals in New
Jersey and other states were early on
the ground. The wine men are all be-
hind, too, and half of their booths have
not been finished. This is the fault of
the exhibitors, and they have no one to
blame but themselves. Superintendent
La Rue has done all he could for them,
| and all they asked, but they have been
very dilatory. The orange trees that
came last Thursday are not yet in place
and the palms that reached the ground.

THE bill to increase the German army
came to 9 vote in the reichstag yester-
day, and was defeated by 2l0 to 1872
votes. A few days ago word was sent
out to the effect that Csprivi had effect
ed compromise with Centrists which
would insure the passage of the meas
ure; but as the time to place it upon
its passage drew near it was evident
that the German chancellor became un-
easy, aud feared that his deal with the
centrists would not materializs as he
had hoped. Indeed the great body of
the Center party revolted three days
ago at the idea of such compromise as
DIR. Won Huene had made. The mass
OF the German people are determined
that the army shall not be increased in
time of peace. Militarism in government
is evidently losing popularity, and pub
lie opinion is rapidly changing on the
subject of maintaining 80 vast an army
rs the kaiser thinks he requires for the
dignity and security OF his crown. OF
course the emperor is greatly annoyed
at the defeat OF his pet project, and at
once dissolved the reichstag. Writs are
out for new election; but it is more
than doubtful whether the kaiser can
get together another reichstag that will
do differently from the one dismissed.

TIE blood-curdling news that reaches
us from Texas, OF the deliberate murder
at various times OF 24S innocent people
in order to put them out of the way as
witnesses of murders committed by two
Esch Texans fifteen years ago, seems
altogether Incredible. 1t is inconceiva-
hle that all these murders could have
been committed, running through a
period OF fifteen years, without exciting
suspicions that would have led to an ex-
posture OF the facts long ago. Eugene
Cue or William Harrison Aineworth
would have found material in this grue-
some tale for dozen sensational novels.

The tragedy at Redondo wharf early

The tragedy at Redondo wharf early
yesterday morning ought to open the
ayes of the authorities to the frightful
consequences which may follow the con
tinuance OF the lawless attempts made
to drive non-union sailors from vessels
coming to our ports. In this instance
the attacking party lost two men, al
though mystery surrounds the killing
of one of them. We cannot remain in
different to the violent methods adopted
to forcibly take away non-uniop sailors
from vessels. This plan cannot be toll
Grated. 1t will lead to more rioting and
bloodshed, and must in the end be put
down By the authorities with the strong
hand.

be thing of beauty about June or July.
Il should be thing of beauty in early
May, and would have been had we been
represented by state commissioners
equal to the task they had Voluntarily

wanted to infuse energy into the
preparations and to be on time
for the opening in good shape. Instead
OF that we are away behind some of the
states which we were interested particu-

sidered as the moet alert and enterpris-

we have anything to do in our official
