SIGNS OF RECOVERY.

Although indications of the prevailing
depression still meet the eye on mahy
sides, there are patches of bright light here
and there on the horizon, which encourage
hopes that recovery is not far distant.
BTddStreetS January 13) thinks that
the tide has turned and that a movement
in the direction OF an expansion of busi-
ness has appeared. In proof hereof it
points to an excess of deposits over pay
ments in the largest savings banks of the
United States and to o resumption of work
al industrial establishments in all direc-
iions. AS specifications it mentions an in
crease OF 81 per cent in the manufacture of
plglroD, and increase in the week ending
January 13 in the business in iron and
steel Mt Pittsburg over any week in De-
cember, revival in the demand for farm
machinery at Atlanta, Ca, for whisky and
tobacco at Louisville, for shoes, clothing
aud dry goods at Chicago, and for stoves
and hardware at st. Louis. 1t notes a rise
IN the bank clearings for the week which
ended on January IL to 81, ,006, 600, 900. The
total ciearlngs show a decrease, as CON-
pared with the same week last year, of
26.4 per cent, and of 21.6 exclusive of New
York, the decrease in San Francisco being
1913. This is better than the showing in
the last months of 1893.

THE ANTI-cIdARETTE CRUSADE.

1t becomes al Interesting question to
see If a reform which every one advocates
can be NJ sde to succeed. Is there any way
to stop practice the evil results of which
are everywhere admitted? On this point
the Sacramento Record Union says:
The arrests for selling cigarettes to minors
continue. but we do not apprehend that this
method is going 10 10 much to check the sale
because Older boys will make the purchases
and distribute the parcels among their COM
panions under the age prescribed by the law
Tie evil must be attacked in its ctadel-the
mandatory. To successfully destroy the flow
OF stream lis source must be closed. This
may be doue. 10 the interest OF humanity and
for the common welfare the manufacture Of the
cigarettes of commerce may be forbidden, pre-
cisely as other nulsances are prohibited.
The cigarette N manufacturers are in most
cases out of our jurisdiction. The vile
things are brought into this State from
the East. Moreover, it IS manifestly i'm
possible to legislate against the manufac-
ture of cigarettes for minors. Dealers
may be forbidden to sell to minors, but
the manufacturer can snap his fingers at
such a law.
The hope is to create public opinion
against the use of cigarettes by minors.
Boys must be made to feel that cigarette
smoking is vice as discreditable as any
into which they may be tempted to in
dulge. They should be made to see that it
Is bar in the road to success that it not
only units them for positions of RESPONSE
bility, but that it stands in the way of get
ting employment. The law can do some
thing. but public opinion can do more.
No man would employ boy whom be had
seen on the street intoxicated. Why.
then, should the cigarette-smoker expect
to be trusted? There are men who roll up
choice tobacco in carefully prepared slips
OF paper who contend that cigarette
smoking is not especially Injurious. But
these men do not smoke the mixture of
glycerine, saltpeter, molasses, refuse to-
bacco and opium. They are as careful in
their selection of tobacco TO roll into
cigarettes as in other matters of daily life.
But the boys unkno wiDgy take what is
offered them and are confirmed in the
opium habit before they know 1t.

A LITTLE FRENCH JUSTICE.

The Los Angeles Times thinks a little
French justice would do California world
Of good That journal remarks:
San Francisco jury has convicted Collins,
the wife butcher; but conviction in California
court is far removed from a hanging. When
the lawyers start their demurrer mill going, file
their bills of exceptions, postpone arguments
for new trials and otherwise delay things the
case may be said to be fairly on. II we could
have little French justice in this blessed
country 1t would be much better place to live
in than under the chieaneIy and demagogy
which permits criminals 10 live long years after
they have richly earned the rope.
If there were humorous side to sograye
a matter il would be found in the plea of
McNulty-that it was rather hard to hang
him now, since ne had suffered so much
from the prospect of being hanged. The
demurrer mill and bills of exceptions kept
him within sight OF the galows four or
five years, and, the condemned man con-
tends, to little purpose if be is to hang at
last. 1t is odd that in State where indi-
yiduals hold human life to be less sacred
than in most other States the courts
should 90 SO far to the other extreme.
From the solcitude of the court not TO
execute the death penalty until guilt has
been esta blished beyond possibility of
doubt one would suppose that death by
violence was a rare occurrence in this
State. But the opposite is the case. No
one can doubt that if the higher courts
were less inclined to split legal hairs over
a verdict there would be fewer murder
cases for the consideration of lower courts
and fewer appeals from their decisions.

LOUISIANA SUGAR PLANTERS

The sugar planters of Louisiana remind
Congress that Louisiana has stood true to
the Democratic party twenty-five years,
and venture the assertion that il is not
now the time for the Democratic party to
throw Louisiana overheard and repeal its
/ main industry. There is some force in
their appeal, bu: the Louisiana planters
have not monopoly of il. Has not Texas
been true to the Democratic party as long
as Louisiana, and are not its wool-growers
exposed to foreign com petition as fatal to
them as to the sugar planters? The Will
son bill PROPOSES to continue the bounty
on sugar with drop of quarter of cent
each year. but it drops the wool-grower
without even asking him if he thinks the
drop will hurt.

WINE DUTIES.

President John I. Doyle of the State
Board of Viticultural Commissioners has
set letter to the Pacific Coast Congress
sional representatives, in which he shows
that an ad valorem duty on foreign wines
is in effect no protection at all. Mr.. Doyle
describes how the cheap wines Of France
and Italy are manufactured. and states
hat they can be ipvoiced at cents gallon.
France and Italy have sufficient regard for
their people to prohibit the use of these
kinds of wine at home, but there are 20
laws against its export. A specific duty,
however, of 80 cents a gallon would at
least protect our people from the danger
from which France and Italy protects their
own people. It remains to be seen if Mr..
DOyle's letter will make en- impression
on the minds of Pacific Coast Democratic
Congressman.

FAR FROM HOME.
D. GhirardeIli Passed
Away in Italy.
The Pioneer Chocolate Manufacturer S
Death Was Very Sudden-Sup-
posed From Influenza.

A telegram was received yesterday morning
from RapallO. Iiay, announcing the death OF
Domingo Ghrardelli, the head OF the we'll
known firm Of Ghirardelli & Sons, the chocO-
late manufacturing firm of his city.
Although somewhat advanced in years. the
news OF Mr., Gbrardelps death came as ter
rlble blow TO his family, by whom il was utterly
unexpected He had always enjoyed excellent
health, and the journey which he recently took
to his native country, accompanied by his
daughter. was merely trip for rest aud
pleasure.
Shortly before Christmas Mr.. Ghirardelli was
seized with slight attack of the grip. 1t
was considered nothing serious, and his daugh-
ter wrote on the 27th Of December to say that
he was getting well. His family here suppose,
however. that he must have had relapse, for a
telegram reached them here on the 18th inst.
stating that he was seriously i'll.
On the 18th inst. another telegram arrived
the news of his death. relapse from The
grip Is merely a suppOsitiOn as TO the cause
OF Mr.. Ghlfardellrs death, for the kilograms

Domingo Ghirardelli was born III RapallO,
Italy, on the 17ih of February 1918, and he
was therefore nearly rs years of age at The
lime OF his death. In 1S4S he first visited Cali
fornia II ON Peru, country In which he had
married and settled. This State had such
charms for him, however that in 1S49 he went

himself here. engaging hrSt in general mer-

In 1852, however, Domingo Ghirardelll con-

and soon extended lis patrons to all parts oi

the firm IS widely known. aud Is still the only

THE SOLDIERS HOrIE.
The Saloon Interest Causing TrOu-
bic at YOuntyille.

In nearly every Soldiers Home in the Union
there has been more or less trouble in relation
10 pension money. and rules are being en-
forced similar TO those which have caused Un-
pleasantness al Yountville. The hamlet has a
population OF 200, and seven saloons prosper
out OF the pension money OF old soldiers.
About $40, 600 year is paid u pensions 10 the
people at the home, and it is said that one
saloon alone last pay day received $500 for
back debts. No wonder the liquor dealers
have contributed $500 10 help the soldiers tight
