OLD IsHAN HARRIS of Tennessee has
won the good will of Pacific coasters, ir-
respective of party, by the way that he
fought for the Bland seigniorsge bill
when it came up in the senate. Allison
OF Iowa tried very hard to obstruct it by
dilatory motions but Senator Harris said
the bill had reached its condition
through regular methods Of legislation
and he would not consent to further
postponement Of action except by a vote
OF yeas and nays on a reconsideration Of
the vote by which 1t was ordered to en-.
grossment. As Allison's state contains
a very large Populist vote that foxy old
lawyer did not care to risk his popularity
on such procedure, so the bill was put
upon its passage and carried.

In READING the lives of our greater
public men, few OF us know how much
their better halves have contributed to
their greatness. When Judge Jackson,
now Of the United States supreme court,
was fret a circuit Judge in Tennessee,
he was badly overworked; and his wife,
the gifted and shrewd Irene Harding,
wrote nearly all Of his opinions at his
dictation. So with Miss Balfour, sister
to the British statesman, who is so con-
stantly before the people. She accom-
panies. him everywhere and, when he
gets tired, che sits down and reads the
newspapers to him, thus keeping him
thoroughly posted on all current events
Of the day. Most of our really great
men owe some of their greatness to their
wives and sisters; and all Of them owe
everything to their mothers.

SENATOR WILLIAM M. STEWART has re-
Gently issued consummately able book
on Silver and the Science of Money. In
conjunction with Senator John P. Jones
this able Nevadan has thrown a great
deal of light on our monetary affairs.
The process of education on the silver
question is going on very rapidly both
in this country and Europe. 1t is usual
to assume that England and Germany
are in favor of the single gold standard.
This is q mistake. Many of the clever
est men in both countries are uureserv-
edly friendly to silver and desire to see
it remonetized. Senator Jones' speech
on the repeal OF the purchasing clause OF
the silver act and this work of Senator
Stewards are simply unanswerabie- IL
is remarkable circumstance that 30
small a state should have two such su-
premely able entatives in the
upper house of congress-. They have
both been impelled by their coneciences
to drop the grand old party, and it is
greatly to be doubted whether there are
two abler men left in it's ranks. They
have in season and out enforced the les
son with irresistible eloquence that pros
perity will be restored to the United
States and to the world when silver is
remonetized, and not before.

Considerable dissatiuiaction was mani

A DELICIOUS JAM.
Not the Kind Your Mother Used
to Make,
But the Kind That Germans Auction
d Creates in His Store-A jam OF
People Waiting TO Buy
Goods-Uuheard of
Bargains.

1t has now gotten to be pretty thoroughly
known all over town that goods are going off at
Germans auction at just about half their real
value 1t has not rested ON these lads" alone
to carry this intelligence, but purchasers have
told friends and friends have become purchas
ers, in turn telling friends, until the auction
has become the talk of the town. It's rare
thing too that you find a jewelry store OF this
cast and magnitude closing business in this
way. When 1t occurs that they do sell out,
they usually sell in lump as business to
some dealer, who continues the business.
Rarely do they give the public the ben ent of a
retail auction, but 1t is being doneI by Mr.. Ger.
man, and the public are testifyinS their ap-
probation by the manner IA which they are
responding with the heavy crowds which
daily and nightly fill the store at No. 800 South
Spring street.
Don't forget therefore, that now you have a
chance that does not occur once probably in a
dozen years-s chance to get ine jewelly at an
auction price, and in these dnll times, with
expressions OF tight money on every hand,
these auction prices are small sort of pri e..
From a standpoint of an investment and a
speeu alton, you could not do better than to go
to NJ. Germans auction and bid down some
things that, at another auction in goOd times,
would bring handsome price.
Remember, the sale begins at p. M aud at
7 O'Clock in the evening every day, and viii

The suggestion that the recent de.
struction o! fish on the southern coast
OF California is due to petroleum has a
great deal of probability in it. Large
quantities OF oil have been noticed float
ing on the ocean from Santa Barbara
certainly as far south as San Pedro.
Tbs theory that subtsrranesn explosions
have poured out great masses of this Pc
troleum ie quite plausible. The fact is
that this portion of the state is underlsid
with oil measures and their exploitation
has hardly begun. There is no doubt
that natural gas is also abundant, and
all that is lacking for its development is
the proper enterprise. GeOlogists are
of opinion that there is quite as much
petroleum and natural gas underlying
Caliiorni& Rs exists in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and that the only thing needed is
to go deep enough to reach these great
reservoirs. In the city limits Of Los
Angeles natural gas has been dis
covered both on Temple street and
on the Cahuenga road. Why it has
not been developed is a mystery,
as it would be a cheap and abund-
ant fuel, being found far preferable
to coal. There is scarcely doubt that

NEED OF M0RR FARMERS AND TRUCK
GARDENERS.

There is one aspect OF the labor ques-
tion in region like Southern California
that has not been sufficiently dwelt
upon, and that is the great profit that
attends truck gardening. With demand
for California vegetables that lasts
through the greater portion OF the year,
the wonder is that thousands on thou
sands of people do not take up the rich
lands of Los Angeles and acquire com
petencies. There are Cinnamon in this
county that are making themselves rich,
although they pay q rent in many cases
OF s15 an acre and upwards. II China
man can do this. why should not Cau-
casian also he able to do it? For years
Mr.. +. ]. Baldwin offered to lease the
rich corn lands of the San Frsncisquito
and San Felipe Lugo lands for one
third OF the crop, furnishing feed for
teams. It may be safely said that no
industrious man has ever failed to do
we'll in Los Angeles at truck gardening.
Last year q Ohinaman down near Dow
ney City sent seventy carloads OF
cabbages to the east, for which
very high prices were paid. The
great drawback with many people is
that they have no ability or disposition
to help themselves, and this notwith-
standing that our climate is such as to
reduce the discomforts oil any kind OF
farming to minimum. Unskilled
labor is being more and more limited in
demand, which is NOT at all surprising
considering the rapid multiplication of
labor saving machinery of all kinds.
The greatest drawback to any country
lies in the insane desire to crowd into
cities. Farming, which Is one OF the
nobest of all occupations, is falling
more and more into disesteem. Trades
are being overdone, and the wild competi-
tion is steadily reducing the wages of
the laborer. Secretary Morton, the head
of the department of agriculture, has
been credited with the extraordinary
assertion that there are too many farm
ers in the country. This may be true
in the states OF the northwest, but it
certainly is not in a state with such
ample facilities for reaching a market as
are possessed by California. Horticult-
ure and agriculture will be always
profitable here.

Their Choice Seems to Be the RsdondO
Hotel.
This is proving to be one OF the best
seasons for tourist travel that this Sec
tion has ever ex xperienced and it is very
fortunate, both for the visitor and the
sgriculturist and business man at home,
that the early and abundant rains have
prepared our lovely valleys to be seen at
their best. With such attractions as
the country now affords, with the orange
trees bending beneath their loads OF
golden fruit, with every hillside covered
with sheen of living green, the state is
rapidly tillingup with people from lands
where all is ice and snow, and the con-
tragt they will find here cannot be other
wise than very impressive. But these
visitors will need desirable place to
locate while here, and we desire to call
their attention to the advantages offered
by the great hotel at Redondo Beach.
This house is modern, is arranged go as
to give the maximum OF sunshine and
air in every room, is provided with all
the latest and best apparatus for secur-
ing the comfort and convenience OF its
guests, and is managed on the most lib
eral principlea, giving it's patrons all the
advantages Of strictly frst-class estab-
llshment at cost far below that usually
exacted at other houses of it's class. By
all means visit Redondo Beach, the prin-
cipal seaport of Les Angeles, before
returning east. Take the Redondo
Reach branch OF the Santa Fe, or the
Redondo railway, and you will be landed
at the Redondo hotel in 45 minutes from

rubes out of the chips left over from

was an ingenious one, but of no real
