4 Mammoth Cheese syhich Weighs Twcn-
ty-Tvo Thousand Pounds.
The Canadian Mite" the largest
-heese ever made in the world, has ar
rived at the exhibition grounds 1t
forms part of the Canadian dairy pyrs-
mid in the Agricultural building.
Formerly the Dominion imported
cheese from the United States for
home consumption, and now the ex-
ports from Canada are said 20 surpass
those from any other country, iuclud-
ing the great American republic
The mammoth cheese was made IN
der the direction of Prof Robertson,
the Dominion dairy commissioner, at
one Of the government dairy stations
ia Ontario Two hundred and seven
thousand two hundred pounds Of milk
were used in making it. That is
equal to the milk for one day in Sep
tember, when the cheese was made. Of
10, 900 cows. The cheese itself weighs
p 900 pounds, and measures twenty
eight feet in circumference by six feet
in height
The mammoth mite stands on a
Brobdignagian truck, which has been
built out Of Canadian oak for trans
porting it through Great Britain
and Ireland after it leaves Chicago.
The purchaser is Thomas J. Upton, a
retail dealer in tea and provisions in
the large cities in Great Britain and
ireland
On the side of the steel hoop which
eneases the mammoth cheese are two
large knobs or trunions by which Il IS
hung when it is being turned upside
down. The Canadian Pacific railway
ran a special worlds fair cheese train
from Perth. Ont. 1t stopped at every
station TO give the country people a
chance 10 see this cheese. They flOcked
10 the stations in cities, towns and VII
lages by the thousand The case Of
the cheese was beautifully painted
when il started on its journey, but by
the time it reached the fair grounds it
bore 10000 Autographs. There was not
a spot on the 2s By feet Of surface
two inches square which did not carry
some name or names. The mammoth
cheese was delivered at the exposition
grounds in less than week after it
left the eastern end of Ontario.
J. A. RuddiclE, the dairy expert Of
the dairy commissioners staff. who
was in practical charge Of the making
OF the cheese, came 10 Chicago to see
that il was properly installed Several
hundreds OF ordinary sized and small

dimensions of a common spoolha ar

MUCH DEPENDS.

The Sacramento Record Union says the
parole bill is 'in line with the best thought
and practice in prison REFORM" That jour-
nal admits, however, that much de ends
upon the mice discrimination of the Board
of Parole Commissioners" The parole bill
is now a law and nothing can be done, ex-
cept to guard against its possible evil con-
sequences. The assertion that il is in line
with the best thought and practice in prison
reform is mere assumption. Experience
has shown that certainty OF punishment is
the most powerful restraint that can be I'M
posed upon the criminal class. When there
Is chance OF escape they will take it. Now,
what does the parole act do? 1t adds to
tion the chance of getting free after
short inenent through influence brought
to bear on the Parole Commissioners
What will be the nature Of these influences
can perhaps be surmised by the scandal
arising from the exercise of the pardOning
power under former administration. Laws
should not be enacted on the Or inciple that
all men are rogues, neither should the
rogues be given too much latitude. 1t is
fair inference that the Parole Commission
ers will be subjected to the greatest impor-
tunity from the relatives and friends of the
class Of offenders who have relatives and
friends. Parents have been known to
mortgage homesteads to get an unruly son
out OF the penitentiary Is II wise to enact
a law which holds out especial hope of
pardon to the class of criminals who have
the least excuse for crime?

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

a local article in Mondays CALL directs
public attention to the fact that in years
past ordinary precAution has not been ex-
ercised to insure faithful performance of
street contracts. Golden Gate avenue was
first poulticed about 1887. It was expected
to last without repair for many years. In
some of the Eastern cities. which make
money expended on the streets do much
more for the people than in this city, the
contractors are required TO keep the streets
included in these contracts in good condi-
tion for term of from fourteen to sixteen
years, and portion of the contract price is
withheld to insure fulfilment OF the terms
of the contract. All the asphalted streets
of New York and Washington are con-
strueted on such terms. In this city off,
cials have generally been on the side OF the
contractor. Poor work has been accepted
and little effort made to enforce a compli-
ance with the terms of a contract at the
expense of a contractor. Probably Golden
Gate avenue Is in poor condition. But
1t Is hardly more than three years since
1t was practically reconstructed. Being out
of repair is its normal state. Its principal
service has been to show that the poultice
will lot stand hard usage. Even on resi-
dence streets the poultice needs 10 be closely
watched. When the surface is once broken
il crumbles quickly 10 pieces. There is
room for considerable improvement in the
streets of this city, but before extensive
and expensive Improvements are planned it
will be well to present an object lesson in
the way of good work with the money pro-
yided

sUsPENDlNG A LAW.

The Chinese Vice-Consul is reported as
saying concerning the enforcement of the
Geary act:
What we expect Is that when the time comes
an arrest VIII be made and then the matter will
be taken at once to the United States Court and
The enforcement OF the law will be enjoned until
the Supreme Court decides upon Its consiItu-
tionality.
While 1t is possible that this expectation
will be realized, the suspension OF the en-
forcement OF a law until its constitution
aliiy can be tested would Involve great con-
fusion. TIE rule is to consider law
constitutional until it is decided otherwise.
The Supreme Court owes at least show of
respect to other departments OF the Gov
eminent. The fact Of man being placed
on the Supreme bench does not give him
any knowledge Of law he did not possess
before the accident Of preferment overlook
him. There are without doubt as good law
yers in either house of Congress as there
are on the Supreme bench. 1t is only ordi-
nary courtesy. therefore, for the Supreme
Court to consider an act Endorsed as consti-
tutonal by the two houses OF Congress and

IRON AND STEEL.

The United States now stands first among
the nations in the production of iron and
steel. Great Britain has been outstripped
in race wherein for long time she was
easily the leader. and owing to our superb
ority of resources over very wide area,
there are no apparent reasons why this ad-
vance should ever be wrest ted from u.s. BY
the expansion Of our foreign commerce we
may indeed hope to increase the lead. These
facts are brought into relief In q report
which has been drawn up by Mr.. Swank,
secretary OF the Iron and Steel Association.
and issued by the Department of the Inte-
rior. The production of iron ore was 3031,-
S9l tons in 1870; it was 14,591,17S tons in
1891. Less than a million tons of ore has
been imported. on the average. during the
last twelve years. The need of imports
only arises from scarcity of the highest
class ores on the Atlantic Coast suitable for
the Bessemer process. On the Pacific
Coast. and it is well known in California,
there is no lack Of ores with high percent
age of iron. No other country equals the
above cited production. In 1872 the pig
iron produced In the United States was
2, SAG, 713 tons, and in 1892 it was 9. I57. 600
tons. We now beat every other country in
the production Of pigiron, and vet twenty
wears ago our output was only little more
more than third Of the British. In 1891
Great Britain produced 7,4O6,064 tons, and
the United States S.279, $40 tons. The GUAM
tity Of Bessemer pigiron has kept advancing
until in 1880 1t was 1853 424 tons. The
steel produced in 1890 was 4.277.o71 tons.
OF Bessemer steel alone the quantity was
1857, l07 tons in 1891; of open-hearth steel
II was 649. 1913 tons, and the total OF all kinds
OF steel came to 4,372.7 49 tons. Great
Britain lost her supremacy in stee-making
in 1888 and has never regained it. The fu-
ture is full of hope in ali metallurgical
industries, which are dependent in great
measure on the opening up of transpor,a-
tion facilities. Railways make use of steel
rails, and when constructed benefit manu-
features of all kinds in countless directions.
Partly through a bad railway policy we
can hardly be said on the Pacific Coast to
have utilized such advantages in iron
making as we possess. We are handicapped
as to fuel, but that must be overcome

ton lies largely in interceptiug bills when

ton lies largely in intercepting bills which
upon mature deliberatiOn he considers un-
constitutional. to be constitutional. II the
court assumes that every law is inoper-
alive until the court has found upon it the
court will find more business on its hands
than 1t can we'll attend to. A lawyer of
more or less prominence can always be
found who viii for consideration give an
off-hsnd opinion that certain act is uncon-
stitutional.
There ia another point the Chinese would
do we'll to consider. An affirmation Of the
eonstitutionality of the Geary act is in a
line with preceding decisions of the Su-
preme Court. The Chinese mad far batter
case under the exclusion act which denied
landing to Chinese who had left this
country depending upon the then existing
restriction act to insure their right to return.
But the Supreme Court decided that the
nation had right To judge of an emergency
which justified an abrOgatiOn of certain pro-
visions of a treaty. In other words, If the
lawmaking power saw fit to declare treaty,
or part of ii. imperative it had the power TO
do so. The lawyers who will undertake to
show that the Geary act is unconstitutional
will not be able to rest their case on cruel or
inhuman punishment. The requirement that
Chinese shall register is in line with the re-
qulrements of other nations in regard to
foreign resident sojourners or travellers. Its
purpose is to distinguish between Chinese
who are in the country lawfully and those
who are not Those who are in the country
lawfully will be placed in possession of evil
dence of the fact, which will secure them
from further molestations. The Geary act
is really friendly to Chinese in the country
when the law WAS passed.
