Camille di Cavour, Italy's famous
statesman, is described by some one
whom lie visited with his parents
when he was a small boy, as being Il
winning little fellow, with a bright,
determined face.
He was full of childish frolic and
fun, and was very entertaining in his
ways. He wore little red coat
which gave him droll, and at the
same time, u decided look.
At incident which marked the visit
as peculiarly characteristic of the
man whose dominant quality was
energy, wEosc motto was, "The direct
way is the sure way" and who, in
administering the Government had
never overmuch respect for the letter
of the law, but would tolerate no in
fringement of the spirit of it.
He was six years old when he Wis
itcl the grandfather of M. de La
Rive, who writes:
"On his arrival he was under a
good deal of excitement. He an
nounced to my grandfather that the
postmaster had furnished them with
poor, incxcusably poor horses, and
that he ought to be dismissed.
"sI insist upon his being dismisse 1, >
Camille repeated gravely.
But said my grandfather, Il
cannot dismiss him. The first syndic
is the only one who has the right to
dismiss the postmaster
Then must see the firsh syndic,
said Camille.
"'You shall have an audience with
him tomorrow, said my grandfather,
and he wrote to his friend, NJ.
Schmidtmeycr. the first syndic, tell
ing him he was going to send him 'an
amusing little man,
The next day the little Cavour ap.
pearcl at NJ. Schmidtmeyer's, and
was received with proper ceremony
and gravity.
with perfect composure, Camille
made three profound bows, stated his
complaint, and asked for judgment.
On his return as soon as he saw my
grandfather he called out, We'll, he
will be dismissed. '"-Youth's Com

HUMBOLDT,s PROTEST.

At the Worlds Fair the Humboldt
County exhibit makes a showing of GER
tain products of the soil which were
raised without irrigation. The exhibit
ors have set forth that fact under the
proper label. This sign the California
Commissioners have ordered removed on
the ground that it constitutes slur upon
other counties which put up no labels of
the conditions under which their prod
ucts were raised. The Humboldt people
are justly indignant at this order and
threaten that if it is not repealed to with
draw the exhibits of the county.
The latter action would be that of heat
and haste and not worthy of the county.
The Commissioners are wrong in order
ing the removal of the sign. To our
understanding the sign seems to be
very proper statement of an important
condition. Suppose counties that have
products on view which were raised
under irrigation, and they wish to con-
vey that fact to the intelligence of look
ers-on, would it not be a proper thing to
do? What earthly reason can there be
advanced against an exhibitor saying to
the spectators: "These are examples Of
what can be done by marriage OF land
and water; this is what may be accom-
plished by proper irrigation" Certainly
it would be stating the fact of a most i'm
portant condition. Indeed, without that
statement there would be liability of the
spectator being misled in Judgment.
Now, how could such statement be
proper, legitimate and advisable, and the
counter statement of another condition
that certain products were raised under
non-irrigation conditions be improper?
1t seems to US that the Humboldt peo-
pie have simply stated as part of their
exhibit fact in print which is necessary
to correct understanding of the condi-
tons which prevail in their county. How
such statement can be construed as in
sulting to other counties we cannot con-
ceive. The very fact that some timid
souls so construe it is one of the best Of
reasons why the fact should be stated.
In our home fairs these facts are nearly
always set forth, and we have never heard
of the people of the irrigation counties
entertaining a feeling of Indignation con-
corning them.

THE ARMY BILL.

The German elections call so much at
tention to the army bill, which is the
bone OF contention, that a statement of
just what that measure is which met with
defeat in the Reichstag, and led to the
election, will be of interest.
The law of 1887 fixed the peace footing
of the army at 1885, 400 until March 81.
1894. In 1890 new law increased this
number to 1898. Hence, prior to the
opening of the year 1894 it became neces-
sary to pass new Act to continue in force
the old one, or to establish new peace
basis. Accordingly the Emperor pre-
pared bill in accordance with his policy
that peace is best preserved by strong
armies. This bill raised the peace footing
of the army to an average of 492, 068
yearly. This would give the Govern
ment force made up as follows: In
fantry 799 battalions, cavalry Az squad
rons, field artillery Al batteries, foot
artillery 81 battalions, pioneers n battal-
ions, railway troop : battalions, train q
battalions.
The bill provided that the army should
be maintained on the basis of the infantry.
having two years active service with the
colors. The one-year volunteers were
not at all taken into account by the bill.
The reserve was to be maintained, but on
a less elaborate scale of exercise and drill.
Under this bill the time of service being
shortened, and the army force increased,
taking into account the 700 one year vol
unteers, the supplemental cadet corps the
new establishment would necessitate.
and the full reserve liable to call, the
fighting force of the empire would have
been 4, 100000 as against 1858 900 claimed
by France to be effective for her pur-
poses.
The Radical Socialists opposed the
measure bitterly, they divided the sew
eral parties standing between them and
the extreme Government adherents, and
under that condition the measure failed,
which resulted in the propagation of the
Reichstag and the sending Of the issue to
the people, with the probability of the
Government triumphing by a very
meager majority.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1893-06-19

THE probabilities are that the Govern
ment party i'll Germany will secure a
victory by the second balloting, to take
place in about week. But at the very
best 1t cannot have a majority in the leg
islative arm OF more than half dozen, if
even it is so fortunate as that. OF course,
the possibility of defeat still menaces the
Emperor. We adhere to the opinion
earlier expressed, however. that the out
come, no matter how the battle of ballots
ends, will not be revolutionary. The
Emperor is altogether too shrewd a man
to precipitate conflict by exercising inn
perial power in the effort to force his pol
icy upon the country except through leg
islative methods.

give the sentiment Endorsement, they
never will accomplish anything.
In this connection, while the Sheriff is
pursuing the violators of the gaming law,
he should follow with equal energy the
violators of the lottery law, law openly
violated in every town and city of the
State, and punishment for which has
been inflicted only in Sacramento and in
San Francisco in many years. The Sher-
III should make no discrimination, and
should not seize upon the gamblers of
one house and allow others to go free.
The common sense of justice demands
that flesh shall not be made of one and
fish of another. Gaming is a difficult
thing to fight; it is as vicious as the MaiI
declares it to be; and the judgment of our
contemporary as to the effects of a license
system for gaming, as exemplified in
Nevada, is entirely sound and unanswer-
able

THE decision of a United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, with Chief Justice
Fuller presiding, denies to the United
States officers seeking it a writ of injunc-
ton to restrain the Worlds Fair officials
from opening the gates of the fair on
Sundays. This settles a vexed question.
and so TAR as the policy OF opening the
gates is concerned results in that becom-
ing the rule of the fair. 1t is gratifying
that this is so. since it has been clearly
demonstrated that closing the fair on
Sunday does not conserve Sunday OBJ
servance, but on the contrary tends to
Sunday dissertation by giving the out
side shows and the places of amusement
broader opportunity with the public.
But aside from that fact, the open fair on
Sunday is in the interest of a great mass

who cannot visit the exposition on other
