When General Hayes Was a Boy.

HS AA"yVS ID ~ -
Ex-President Hayes once told this story
for the benefit of q difident little fellow
who happened to be spending the day with
him. 1t nay be useful to other bashful
boys, Of whom there are still countless
thousands in the world, in spite Of all that
has been said about the forwardness Of
young people in these modern days.
"When l was at school in Connecticut"
said Mr.. Hayes, ''the boys brought word Of
q famous dinner to be given on the next
holiday in a neighboring town, and for the
rest of the week we saved u money and
talked Of the joys that were before us.
"The eventful morning saw us on our
way-racing, lettering, whistling, rumi-
~nating-until nine miles had been passed,
and we flung ourselves down on the river
bank to rest. After a swim and q careful
toilet we went to the town hall, where the
great dinner was in progress-and there
was no doubt about our appetites.
Our plates were heaped with good
things. Chicken pie, mashed potatoes,
gravy, sauces, pies, but at my place was
neither knife, fork nor spoon. | was too
bashful to ask for them or to let any one
know Of my situation. / felt that I could
not endure the apologies and laughter that
would follow. So 1 finally left my loaded
plate, and with a heavy heart and an empty
stomach walked the nine miles back to
school,"
The boy for whom the story was told
looked at the general with fixed eyes. The
general smiled and went on:
II called myself names, 1 believe. :. said
to myself, You will makea pretty lawyer,
won't you?' l asked myself whether I
wished to make my life q failure or a sue
cess, and l resolved that 1 would be more
of a man."-New York Tribune.

HOW WE DO.

There is at least one level-headed farmer
in San Joaquin County. There is more
point in the following few lines than can
be found in an average speech occupying
as many columns. He says:
We let our timber rot and buy fencing.
We throw away our ashes and grease and
buy soap. We raise dogs and buy hogs
We let our manure go to vast and buy guano.
We grow weeds. and buy vegetables and
brooms. We catch fve-cent fish with a four
dollar rod. We build schooihouses ana send
our children of to be educated. And lastly we
send our boys out with f0rty-dolar gun and a
ten-dollar dog to hunt for ten-cent birds.
That is precisely what is being done all
over the State. In different way we do
the same in this city. We feed shoe
makers who are out of job and buy boots
and shoes of Massachusetts. We send
wool to the same busy workshop and buy
every yard of cloth we wear. Somehow
we have $40 for gun and $40 for dog,
but 1t is the hardest thing in the world to
get money for a new industrial enterprise.

HARD ON HARRISON.

Harrison:
1t was unfortunate for the honor and credit
OF the UniIed States that the country had then
as Its chief executive Mr.. Harrison, a man Of
amlable character and good Intentions but
whose Presidential career will be remembered
as period In which the eounGry's dealings with
the governments of other nations were marked
by buster and bluuders, by demands and
threats, laughed at by strong powers aud only
enforced against little states at the expense of
the national reputation for fair dealing and
that magnanimlty which the strong should dis
play toward the weak.

HOW TARIFF CHANGES WORK
The Woodland Democrat saws:

The Woodland Democrat says:
AS the Mckinley tariff is still in force the
absurdity Of charging the decline to Democratic
legislation ought TO be manifest 10 every intelli-
gent reader. W hen the Democrats have had
an opportunity 10 tinker with The tariff 1t will
be ime enough to charge that the present con-
dition OF affairs is due 10 Democratic legislation
on the tariff.
The fear of free trade has pretty much
the same effect as the fact. Manufacturers
will not provide a large stock of goods
with the prospect before them that the
country will be flooded with goods at
lower rates than they can afford. The
manufacturer can remain idle q while or
half IDLE, but ne will avoid working at a
loss. When he knows what duties are to
be he will make arrangements accord
ingly. II the duties are made low the cut
In wages will be sufficient 10 cover the
difference in cost. 1t is the wage-earner
that the principal loss will fall upon.

TIME is MONEY.

The fruit-groweIs' convention has
brought forward certain recommendations
on TRANSPORTATION which the railroad COM
panies are invited to consider. Fruitmen
are promised a reduction of time TO Chi
cago next season, the transit being limited
to 116 or 40 hours, or five days. And they
are anxious to have a prOportonate re-
duction to all other points in the East. II,
for instance. by through shipments they
could reach New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia. Pittsburg and ST Louis in six or
seven days, the whole trade would expert
ence an active stimulus. 1t is not central
ization in Chicago. but distribution W tn
out consulting Chcago's yea or nay, that
is wanted. Magnificent as Chicago's trade
is, it would be paltry in comparison with
the openings all over the East, provided
transportation facilities are direct and
rapid. Green fruit nays very high rates,
and it is only fair to demand the fleetest
and best arranged service obtainable for
thousands of carloads.

The North American Navigation Com
pany has resolved to continue the line of
steamers 10 Panama, from which transpor-
tation In this State has derived such inds-
putable benefit. The advantages are so
apparent that many people not connected
with business are possibly surprised that
the contingency of discontinuance could
in any manner arise. But. as is well
known, merchants and fruit-growers must
expect to subscribe fresh capital to insure
renewal of the contract with .he Panama
Railroad Company when the present ar
raDRement expires in May. An additional
100000 is needed to enable the company
to remain in stable position. prepared to

THE FRESNO LAND CASES.

The Fresno Morning Republican asserts
that Mr.. Huntington and his attorneys
have been little too previous IN assuming
that the lands in dispute in that county
between the Southern Pacific and the set
tiers have been fully and finally awarded
to the corporation. The Republican says
The real facts In regard TO this matter are
that these cases have not proceeded farther
than that in certain OF them the court overruled
the demurrer of The defendants, holding that
If The complaints were true In every part that
they stated cts sufficient TO constitute a cause
of action. The complaint in The action, which
was argued and upon which the demurrer was
decided. is very different from what it is In a
number OF other cases. and much more favor
able to the railroad company. There are many
allegations of the complaints which are denied
by he defendants, and which it is extremely
doubtful If the plaintiff can prove. Not only is
the above true. but Judge Ross has allowed
amended demurrers to be filed in certain OF The
cases, and the whole matter i, set down for re.
argument and reconsider tion by him, and IL Is
not at all improbable that upon the presenta-
tion OF further authorities and other points not
raised he will sustain the demurrers 10 the
complaints.
The Republican also states that in order
to get the cases within the Jurisdiction of
the Circuit Court the corporation has
alleged in each complaint that the various
tracts are of the value of $4,000 or over.
II this value is true OF any it is not of all.
But it is hardly possible that the Southern
Pacific Company will be hauled into court
on charge of contempt 1t Is probable,
however, that there may be substantial
difference in cases which will come before
Judge Ross The present understanding
is that the decision of Judge Ross wa
rendered on the showing made by the
Southern Pacific Company as to its rights
to the land. 1t is well. however, that a
rehearing should be granted, or hearing
in cases not identical in title to those al
ready decided. There cannot be too much
publicity in casns of this kind

GOOD WORDS FROM ABROAD.

The 1900 ladies' of California who have
requested the newspapers of San Francisco
to mend their ways will be strengthened
in their good work by the words of en-
enlargement given them by the New York
EUening Post. journal conducted on the
conservative lines followed by the Ereni,lg
Bulletin of this city. Ii Is not presumable
that any one of the 1900 ladies would see
any harm in any article that has ever ap-
peared in either of these two evening
journals. The Post says of the move
ment:
number OF the women OF San francisco
who are most prominent in all good work 5
issued circular inviting signatures TO pro-
test against The demOralizing reports of crime
which most Of the papers publish. The ie-
sponse was so prompt and hearty that at last
accounts $4,000 names had been secured. A
mass-meeting of women was called by the
leaders In the movement a few days ago, and
the large attendance and earnest spirit gave
fresh evidence of the intense interest In the
matter. One of the speakers said that the SEN
timent expressed by the San Francisco women
had ''swept over the coast In an irresistible
current" and that they seemed TO be ''on the
first wave OF the swell Of indignation which Is
sweeping over the whole OF the United States
iii regard to the liberties OF the press"
What the pi actcal result of the movement will
be, II any. remains 10 be seen, but it certainly
shows that the publishers OF the most de.
graded newspapers are wrong in maintaining
that there is a universal demand for their
wares AT any rate, II does good to have an
agitation like this against an indecent press,
just as against any other evil of the times.
There are many forms of the evil CON-
planned of. 1t is not only suggestive
details that are Objectionable. The public
Is injured as deeply by the transforming
of criminals into heroes as Dy details in
case of malpractice. Any abuse of the
liberty of the press by which crime is
made to seem the readiest way to acquire
money. and notoriety that can be coined
into money should be discouraged, not
only by women but by men who have the
good Of the State at heart. How many
boys have been melted to trip of adven-
ture by the considerable attention that has
been paid to w-breakers?

CALL " PEN-PICTURES.
What "The Impress - Has to Say of

In the current number Of The Impress,
the organ of the Pacific Coast Women's

article, under the heading of "Our Young

The prize competition in THE CALL, calling
for descriptive stories from contestants under
% years OF age. has met with most gratifying
response. The issue OF Sunday, November II.
contains the three prize stories and several
others OF almost equal merit. making most in-
teresting reading not only for the woId.paint-
ing Itself, but as showing the literary power of
our young people.
The first prize is given TO John London of
Oakland, aged IS; the second to Jessie A.
Ryan. Stanford University aged 10; the third
TO Beatrice Reynolds OF Berkeley University,
aged Is. MIR. LoDdon's work-"Story of a

of absolute realism that prove The author saw
whereof lie speaks, and here and there the
signs that prove a young hand at the pen even
though strong one. But the most striking
thing Is the largeness OF grasp and steady force
of expression that shows the genuine artist.
The next story, by Miss RYAN, "Juan SIiva's'
Dream OF his Vine Covered Home" is strong
and pathetic; throwing out in wellchosen con-
trast the drear cold and violence OF winter

house, against the rich warmth and stiffness OF
southern land. a peaceful cottage home. The
repetition In color'' of cold and poverty, as
against warmth and love, is true artistic
effect.

ways better. Her stOry-"Ghosts Came When
the Great River Wandered Away"-is theme
such as would have appealed to Charles Dick

touched by so Impersonal subject. The sea-
storm, the misery OF the poor old man. strike
home to the young heart: but this subtitle SYM
pathy with an abandoned town is markedly
unusual at eighteen.
The other stories given are also very good.
II is to be earnestly hoped that all this will be
developed for the use aud pleasure Of our peo-
ple. 1t Will be pleasure 10 our members to
nole the name of Marion Powell, daughter of
Emily Browne Powell, honorably ranked
among the contestants. Another gratifying
feature Is that out of the eleven young authors
whose work is given only rec are boys; OF
the whole list OF names printed fifty are boys,
eigbty-four girls but the percentage in the

TORPEDO CRAFT.

President Cleveland is said to have ex-
pressed strong approval of Mr.. Herberrs
proposals for additions to the navy. The
new vessels are mostly in the class of
torpedo craft, OF which the United States
stands urgently ia need of a considerable
number. Other vessels. of the cruiser type
especially, are necessary tn make our navy
what it should be- for the protection of a
far greater coast line than any other
country possesses, and with oar maritime
responsibilities rapidly increasing. The
policy of adding useful cruisers and fasl
