that the French are ready to throw
themselves into the hands of either
monarchy or the empire as an escape
from the corruptions that have devel-
oped in the republic. Whilst many dep
uties and too many high officials have
been implicated in the canal scandals,
there is noble army OF leading public
men who have gone through the ordeal
unscathed. The best men of France
have been true to their country and the
principles of honor. They believe that
the republic has sailed safely through
storms that would have hopelessly
wrecked monarchy or an empire, and
they know that time is working in favor
of the stability of republican principles
and weaving the people completely from
affection for the dynasties that have
heretofore ruled their country. "The

We HEAR from all parts of the country

that they will be enabled TO put in
tremendous acreage of grain; and all
the other crops will be correspondingly
large. No one can imagine how we
could have more promising season.
The soil is in fine condition for every
species of growth to flourish, and the
'deciduous fruit crop will reach an enor-
nous volume. There is nothing to pre-
vent our farmers from raising immense
vegetable crops, and supplying the east
ern markets with cabbages, potatoes, etc.
Agriculturists ought to be in fine feather

complain of in a season SO splendidly
propitious in all respects as this one is
proving to be. They will reap golden
harvest in any event, and those of them
who combine with industry, intelligence
and forecast to raise such vegetables as
are sure to find a ready and profitable

why, in the name of common sense, has
Mr.. Markham taken time so much by

A VICIOUS mEAsURE THRorrLED.

That was a very opportune interven-
ton made in the senate of the United
States, the other day, by Senator Turpie
of Indiana. In an amended extradition
treaty with Russia this country was
calmly proceeding to make itself bailiff
to hunt down Russian politicians who
might have had some differences with
his Imperial majesty, the czar of all the
Russias. Now the United States has no
quarrel with the White czar, whether as
respects the Great or the Little Russia.
By some anomaly, or the attraction of
opposites, there has always been de-
cided entente cordiale between the gov
ernments and peoples of this country
and Russia. That is all very well, and
we heartily hope that thus may it be al
WAYS. But the suggestion that
poor devil who seeks asylum
on our shores should, on a
simple allegation that he has
conspired to take the life OF the czar, be
surrendered to the gentle ministrations
OF an memorable Russian bureaucracy,
is enough to inspire an honest man and
lover of constitutional government
with horror. 1t is very easy as it is to
seek to reclaim political refugee under
the color of some extraditable offense,
but to deliberately accept the idea that
we must surrender an unfortunate
wretch on the allegation that he had
sought the life Of the czar is little more
than the average American stomach can
stand. And yet this is the amendment
of our existing treaty with Russia that
passed the senate OF the United States,
and would be part of the law of this
country if Senator Turpie had not put in
his protest. All honor to this Hoosier
SENATOR If the imperial master of
Russia desires immunity from as
sassination let him give his people
q constitutional government, and live
within the law. Alexander III, like his
father, who was asssssinated in the
streets of st. Petersburg, is personally
an amiable and interesting man. Un-
der different conditions he might achieve
great personal distinction. But, as a
matter of fact, he is an embodiment of
the most remorseless despotiHm IN the
world. The power of making and mod
flying treaties is confided, by the con-
of the United States, to the
president and senate. Except for the
timely action Of Senator Turpie, who
has arrested the bill, by moving its re-
our statute books would
already be disgraced by this measure.
The question will be called up again,
when, doubtless, this offensive provision
will be expunged from the new treaty.
No president of the United States, after
having had his attention called to the
matter, would sign such an extradition
treaty. 1t required great deal of pur-
posed surrender of the democratic pre-
cedents and principles Of this country
to have introduced it, in the first place.
1t would be we'll to find out it's author
80 that, when he comes up for the judg-
ment of the citizens of republic, they
may know how to give him proper
greeting.

A SETBACK TO THE CANAL BILL.

The house subcommittee on Nicara-
qua canal has taken a step which may
delay action on the measure, but which
will undoubtedly lead to guarantees
that the public now lack with reference
to the moneys already spent on the
canal, and which the incorporators want
to be covered in the bonds for which
the government credit will be surety.
Mr.. Geary, on Monday, cut off gentle
man, who was about to inhict an elabor-
ate essay upon the committee, by say
ing that they did not want any further
information on the commercial and po-
litical Importance of the canal; they
knew all about that; but they wanted
to know what equivalent the promoters
are giving for the $12,000,000 stock as
signed them and for the $6,O00,00O they
claim to have already spent on the
canal, and for which government is to
issue its bonds. "We shall be asked"
continued Mr.. Geary, whether this
$6,000,000 was not originally raised
by sales of stock and, if 80, upon what
grounds the government is asked to re-
pay it twice, and here is sum of over
$16,000,000 that needs to be accounted
for. 1t may be all right, but to satisfy
ourselves that it is so we must know
how much stock has been issued, who
holds it, what was paid for it and what
its present market value is. We must
also know the value of all the property
and franchises the company expects to
turn over to the new government cor
poration, go as to be able to Judge
whether they are worth the $4,000, 900
asked for them. Unless we can know
all this we shall not be in position to
meet the attacks on the floor of the
house," This clear business talk took
the canal men rather aback. and they
candidly declared that they were not
possessed OF the information asked for.
ssThen, !" said Mr.. Geary, "you had bet
ter get it from Warner Miller, or those
who have it, for the committee must
have this information before they can
go any further" A postponement was
had.
This Is just the time to purge the MIC
aragua measure of all semblance of job
berry. The people have no objection to

Tho Exercises Last Evening by the Win
ter Glass Members.
The commencement exercises of the
high school winter class of 1898 were
held in the Los Angeles theater last
night. The house was crowded to the
doors and the exercises were followed
with interest. The front of the stage
was prettily decorated with flowers and
potted plants and the class colors of
crimson were displayed about the pillars
and others places in the building.
The feature OF the evening was the
High School Glee club, which rendered
in capital style the second number Of

male and female, was also enjoyable.
The programme was as follows:

expenditures on the canal; but if the
affair is tainted with the suspicion that
$1,000, 900, or any part Of that sum is
to be hocus-pocused out of the govern

receive such black eye as may set it
back for years. The people have no OBJ

in this great enterprise, but the time
for wholesale jobbery in such matters is

THE discussion of the annexation OF

In THE discussion of the annexation oil
Hawaii but little has been said about
the fact that one entire island of the
group is devoted to lepers. This fearful
disease is awfully prevalent in the
islands, and should they come
into the union we would be
brought into more intimate relations
with the malady than we now are.
Leprosy has already been brought to
the United States by Chinese. The
free and increased intercourse which
would follow the annexation of Hawaii
would introduce another factor for the
dissemination of this infectious disc ase,
and Molokai would become necessarily
very populous lazaretto, for it is prob.
able that we should. if that island be-
longed to us, make it the home of all
lepers in the United States as we'll as

of superlatives. Oranges by the pyra-
mid, sample olives by the kegful, gold
ore by the ton, corn and silk and honey
and oil in true Californian measure. Big
banks of lilies stood in every by-way.
Palm leaves, pampas plumes, roses,
smilax and semi-tropic foliage rioted
over and around exhibits of fruits.
The displays came from ranches that
few years ago were gaunt and arid
mesas. Raisins that tickle the 'palates
OF the gourments of Gotham, olives that
anges that are full of the wine of warm

eastern soil were right at home, and
looked their prettiest.
