REDLANDs, Dec. 6.-The Times cor
respondent has undertaken the arduous
duty of building railroad from Red
lands elevation 1900 feet) to Yuciape
valley (2500 fseD via Potato callon $4,000
feet). Yuciape is midway between
Redlands and Potato cafion. 1t would
be interesting to know why the road
should climb to such an altitude and
then double on its track down the
mountain to get to a practically unin-
babited valley within easy reach OF Red
lands. The Yuciape is magnificent
little valley, but lacks q water supply,
which is the first thing to develop. II
the Times man really wants to build
road to benefit Rsdiands, we would sug-
gest that he run it from San Francisco
to Seattle via this city.

Queer Life Sentence.

Ohio claims the proud distinction
of sending q man to the penitentiary
for life for stealing three chickens.
David Blackburn is the prisoner, and
his life sentence was brought about
this way: The Legislature passed
and the Supreme Court has just
affirmed the constitutionality Of a
law making third-time prisoners life
ones. Blackburn had served two
terms in the penitentiary for assault
with intent to rob, for receiving stolen
goods, and the last time for breaking
into q house and stealing three chick
ems at Dayton, @. This being his
third conviction of penitentiary
offence, Blackburn was sent up for
life. He appealed to the Supreme
Court; but that body decided the
habitual criminal act constitutional.

Postmaster.General Bissell has re-
scinded the rule promulgated by him
some weeks ago, that no fourth class
postmaster should be removed from
office except after charges had been
preferred against him. He now says
that they can be made to step down
and out "on charges and like other
Federal officials certainly will be re-
moved after four years service. 1t is
to the credit of Mr.. Bissell, that if he
didn't know much when he went into
office, that he is willing to learn
and profit by that instruction when
the light is turned on him.

The statement is made through
some OF our exchanges, that the same
text book furnished the Ohio public
schools for seventy five cents is sold
to the Virginia schools for one dollar,
and to Louisiana for one dollar and a
quarter. No reason is given why
weshould pay more than our wealth
er Western neighbors, but the people
of the State have the right to know
why this is the case and the inquiry
should be made through their repre-
sentatives at the next session of our
Legislature. The Superintendent of
Public Instruction of Virginia may
be able to give the explanation, as
the matter, we believe, is in the line
of his duties. An account of his
stewardship in this respect at least
seems to be in order, inasmuch as he
will be candidate for reelection at
the next session of our Legislature.

The managers of the Worlds Fair
are now masters of the situation and
the Fair will be run with open gates
like any other day in the week. The
Circuit Court of Chicago, at least,
has so decided and the Supreme
Court of the United States can only
reverse that decision, and it does not
meet until October The Fair closes
LIST of November, SO that whatever the
final decision, is a matter of little
consequence to the managers. The
decision in the lower court was unan-
imous and the probabilities are too
that it would be sustained by the
Supreme Court.

Pension reform is showing up well.
1t is now estimated that the appro-
priation of S165, 100000 will not only
be amply sufficient to pay the regular
expenses of the fiscal year 1894. but
that it will also eXtinguish debt of
about 81, 100000 left by Raum. And
the officials of the bureau confidently
believe that they will even be able
to boast q surplus of about $5,000.000
at the end of the year, instead of the
100000, 900 deficit which was expected
by Raum.-Norfolk Virginian.

For ladies and misses as well;
With prices 80 low,
All win say when they know,

The worth of your money they give
And act the good rule,
