FIRING AT SMALL GAME.

The Pope has issued an order against
the Odd Fellows and knights of Ply thias,
also the organization known as the Sons
of Temperance, putting it on the Church
Black List" This is really humorous.
Who under the sun informed the Pope
and the Board of Inquisitors how harsh
that word is-that the Sons of Temper
ance is an order of any danger to any
one.
There was time when that order
had considerable strength and was bene-
ficially prominent. But for the last ten
years it has scarcely been heard Of 1t
still exists, and wherever it does. we
trust 1t is still doing good. Certainly it
can do no harm. 1t is simply and only
an order pledging it's members to total
abstinance. 1t has no other religion.
Except that it does not admit to its meet
ings those who are not members-thus
following the secretive example of the
College of Cardinals and the Board of
Inouisitors and host of other church
organizations-it is precisely on level
with the Father Mathew Total Absti-
nece Union or Society.
1t is not so secretive as is the Young
Mems Institute; il has so few secrets that
if they were all printed and scattered on
the street they would excite no more
concern than a patent medicine circular.
There is a presiding officer called the
Worthy Patriarch, with subordinate Off
GERS filling vice and clerical positions.
The members meet after proving by a
countersign their right to enter-and
really this is only done 10 attract them,
which open meetings will not. There is
song about the beauty of brotherly
love, then an admonition against that
which biteth like serpent and sting
wishes to pledge himself to total absti-
nence is brought in; another song is sung
about clear and sparkling water-this is
not in Sacramento, thanks to our Board
of Trustees, which has put it upon
the municipal black -list-the candidate
then pledges himself to touch not, taste
not wine or spirituoas liquors. He
signs the roll and is seated.
Then there is a talk as to how these
good people can best spread the temper
ance cause. Politics, religion and sect
are ignored. There is no creed but that
of temperance; there is no grand hailing
sign Of distress, no oath to aid brother
whether or not; no obligation to inter-
fere with any social, political or religious
duty.
Indeed we do not believe that milder
more gentle and inoffensive order any
where exists. 1t is so inoffensive that it
has declined and is little heard of, though
once strong in numbers and doer of
much good.
Really the Pope has fired at small game.
In fact someone has fooled the Pope, and he
is fooling his people, by making them be-
lieve that the Sons of Temperance is an
order of mighty, and. according to church
doctrine. of dangerous character.

a VERY profitable industry in Michi-
gan is the growing of peppermint 1t
can be grown more luxuriantly in Cali
fornIa than in Michigan, but only here
and there is an effort made III that and
similar directions. For instance, there is
not one of the medicinal plants grown for
commerce in Ohio and New York that
cannot be better raised in this State.
yet we import tens OF thousands
of pounds of medicinal herbs annu-
ally, and some of them are of the
simplest kind known, and most gem
orally in use, and about the culture of
which there is the minimum of risk and
labor. Peppermint calls for light and
rather sandy soil, and fJr considerable
out that in its vicinity there are precisely
the conditions called for. The same is
true of a hundred favored localities in
the State. Peppermint is grown from
the roots laid lengthwise in a narrow
trench, and must be carefully cultivated
the first year; after that it requires very
little cultivation, but must be renewed
every third year. When in good order
the plants may be cut over from three 10
five times in year. The expression of
the oil is not difficult and requires but
the cheapest class of machinery and APP
pliances, as distillation is the main pro-
cess. California is equal, if this kind of
small farming is engaged in, to the task
of raising ali the kinds of medicinal herbs
grown at the East, to the extent that we
could supply the demand of the world.
WHILE we shudder at the atrocities of
the Japanese at Port Arthur, we should
not forget that thus far in the year 1894
there have been illegally strangled to
death in this land of ours over two hum
dred human beings, and that quite
number of others have suffered horrible
deaths and outrage at the hands of mobs
of civilized people in this free nation of

THE WESTERN STORM.CLOUD.

The long suspense caused by the delay
in settling the important questions now
before Congress is demorslizing the W est.
Vague projects Of popular revolt, imma-
ture plans for marching on Washington
to manifest on the Capitol steps, and
even the clash of aut horities In populous
centres like Denver, indicate an upheaval
OF the masses which may bring grave
mischief In Its train.
The leaven of Socialism Is doing its
work. ldleness and envy are poor coun-
sellors, and may precipitate honest labor
ers into troubles from which they can with
difficulty extricate themselves. The prop
CT place to manifest against any further
continuance OF the results OF Republi-
can mlsrule is at the ballot box, not on
freight cars or the steps OF Legislative
halls. The proceedings good enough for
French mobs u century ago are not proper
for American freepen.
The appeal to violence in certain sec
tions OF the West is not only unwise, but
is criminal. Should It assume more dan
gerous proportions there is little doubt
that IL will beput down this year.

A Cyclone Sweeps Over Long
View, Texas.
Houses Wrecked and Much Damaged Done
HaiIstones OF Immense Size.

LONG VIEW, Tex. March 10 A cyclone
swept over this place early yesterday
morning, accompanied by hailstones of
immense size. The greatest fury was six
miles east of here. where it struck the
home of John Cain, lately occupied by a
large family of negroes The house was
In an ancient grove OF oaks, 90 in mum ber.
Every one OF them was uprooted and they
were piled up In terrible confusion with
dead fowls, dogs and cows aud five dead
and eight badly injured negroes.
Half mile south, the house Of Mr..
Davis, white man, was completely de-
molished, but with the exception OF "A few
painful bruises. all escaped. John Kuf-
fets wagon near by was blown away and
much Of IL has not been found yet. The
granary of Nick Hsrdis, two miles
east, was unroofed. The house OF Sallie
Jones, color'd, was wrecked aud her 4
year-old daughter Lorilla was perhaps
fatally wounded by hailstones
A passenger train passed just rs the
cyclone swept by, narrowly escaping 1t.
All previous accounts OF immense stones
and wind dwindle TO insignidcance in
comparison with this storm.
Many OF the blocks Of the ice are from
Is to ls ounces In weight, and others were
found after n warm rain and warm
weather, larger than goose egg. Fowls
roosting in the trees were killed by the
hundreds Full particulars will doubt

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS
Viii Be Mainly Devoted to Settling Contested
Election Cases.

WASHINGTON, March ls-As soon as the
sundry civil appropriation bill is disposed
of, which will probably be tonight, the
house will take up the four contested
election cases which are pending, the
O'Nsill-Joy case case from the Eleventh
Missouri district the Williams Settle
case from the Fifth North Carolina, the
English Hilborn case from the Third Cali
fornia, and the Whately Cobb case from
the Fifth Alabama.
II the contested election cases are dis
posed OF this week, which Is hardly prob.
able, as the Republicans will doubtless
insist upon the pressure Of Democratic
quorum to unseat their colleagues, the
house will proceed with the consideration
of either the military academy or consular
and diplomatic appropriation BILLS
The present week will be devoted by
the senate to routine business OF no gen
sral interest. IL 10 probable that the for
tifications appropriation bill will be re
ported from the committee, and, II Il
should be, IL will probably be taken uI
for discussion and put upon its passage
For the rest there will be an effort to dis
pose of the government printing site, tn,
Russian thistle appropriation, the No
qarrahan bill and large number o
special bills on the calendar.

Ex.Secreiary OF the Interior

ST. LOUIS March 19.-Mrs. John w.

had stepped from the room to call her
carriage for drive. She complained
suddenly OF dizziness, her maid caught
her as she was falling, and before she

stead, and daughter Of Rev. DIR. Halstead
OF Northampton, Mass. She was 80 years
Of age. She met General Noble while on
visit to Keokuk, Ia, where he was
stationed AZ soldier. They were married
Feb o, 1854, and during the remaining
days of the contest she was at the front
with her husband seeing service around
Chattanooga and Memphis.

A LONDON HORROR.
An Old Man saurderOd bY a Woman and Mis-
Body Packed "a a Truak

LONDON, March le-An Austrian wo-
man named Marie Hermann. who 10 well
known 10 the police as q night prowler.
recently rented a small room In house
IN Grafton street
On Thursday night last. she. In com
pany with an elderly man, was seen 70
enter the room. subsequently, loud guar
reliRg was heard In the room by other
tenants in the house, but as wordy wars
were of frequent occurrence no attention
was paid TO this disturbance.
A woman named Hutehins, who lodged
with the Hermann woman, ON Friday
found blood stains on n sink, and spoke TO
the Hermann woman about them. The
latter passed the matter OF lightly, but
on Saturday she changed her lodgings,
taking better apartments in Marylebons
street. She took with her heavy trunk,
which she asked should be carefully han
died.
Ia the meantime the suspicious Of the
Hutchins woman were aroused, owing to
the bloOdstains she had found on the
sink IN addition, II became noised about
the house that the man who had gone TO
tho Hermann woman's room had not been
seen leave it. The Hutehins womsa fol
lowed the Hermann woman when she
moved, and after learning her new ad-
dress informed the police that she sus-
pected that foul play mad been done.
Officers were sent 10 the house in Mary
lebone street, where the woman had
taken up her residence, and a search was
made OF tho apartments occupied by hsr.
The trunk which the woman had been
30 careful about was In the room. The
police forced IL open and found la IL the
body Of the missing man. His head had
been battered evidently with some blunt
instrumeur Ihe body presented fright
ful apPeats.. .n- clothing In which
Il was att re, Er.. ned with blood.
The Hermann Woman was at once
taken into cu,tJty on % charge OF Willful
murder. The body has been recognized
as that Of a well-tO-dO ex- jObmaster named
Stevens. lie was 20 years old.
1t is believed that the Hermann woman
had an accomplice In committing the
murder, as Stevens was muscular man.
IL may be, however, that he was killed
while asleep. The prisoner was 4S years
old. She is ugly, almost TO repulsive-
