The Little Railroad 10 Be Extended Into
Mexico.
SAN DIEGO, April 5.--It WAS learned
yesterday that the National City and
Otay Railroad company had obtained q
right of way for the extension of its line
from Tia Juana across the Mexican line
and up the Tia JuanA valley to the hot
springs, a distance of about six miles.
The purpose OF the extension ia to es-
tablish the headquarters of the Mexican
Land and Colonization company at the
hot springs instead of at Ensenads, in
order to be more accessible to San Diego
and to begin the colonization OF lands
Immediately bslow the border line, es-
pecislly the great Arguello grant. which
is now in-the hands of the company.
Mr.. Q1iltes, one of the English stock
holders ia the company, while
here visited Tia Juana and the
hot springs and ia eaid tc
have made contract with the National
City and Otay for tbs proposed extern
sion. The colonization company hAt
had the removal of headquarters under
contemp plation for two years past, al
Ensenada was felt to be too isolated tc
carry on a colonization business. Al
the company still holds the concession
for railroad to Yuma, the little branch
of the National City and Otay may b'
utilized as starting point to Ensenadi
and Yuma, though the railroad is by NJ
means decided upon and may be aban
doned entirely ior irrigation works.

In ANOTHER column the views OF the
Southern Pacific company as regards
Santa Monica will be found fully set
forth in a communication from President
G. P. Huntington to Mr.. Muir, the su-
perintendent of the company in this
city. The opponents of Santa Monica
have made much Of the argument that if a
hsrbor was constructed at Port Los An
geles the Southern Pacific company
would virtually control it, having q
monopoly OF the wharf and approaches.
Mr.. Huntington appears to finally settle
this point by the assertion that his com
psny "hss built the great pier and made
other improvements at Port Los Angeles
at a cost of over million dollars, and,
having done this, it has offered the use
Of its Improvements to any other rail
road on the same terms on which the
Southern Pacific itself uses them" Mr..
Huntington repeats the offer he made tC

The Bulls Engineer - Big Short Scare
In New York.
NEW YORK, April 5.-The great short
scare of the year appeared this evening,
when within an hour prices shot up two
cents bushel, bringing May to 665sc,
the highest point it has touched since
early in February. Wheat had been
nervous all the forenoon, and the shorts
were easily alarmed over crop damage
stories which came in thick and fast,
particularly from Kansas, but heavy
long selling at midday broke prices 20
Isc, and seemed to take all the backb bone
out of the bulls. This encouraged all
the bears to go short. so when the boom
came little later there was the widest
scramble to cover that the market has
witnessed in a good many months. The
business footed up IL, 300.0 900 bushels.

THE board OF trade OF Santa Monica
has protested against the action of the
chamber of commerce in taking vote
for or against the selection OF either
San Pedro or Port Los Angeles as the
site for deep-sea harbor. What the
board desires is that the people or the
chamber should vote in favor of urging
congress to make an appropriation to at
once begin the work, and let the ma
tional legislature select the site. This
is sensible. Practically, how is a scat
tering vote of part of the people of this
city in favor OF either site going to affect
congress? We have heard much loos e
talk about congress refusing to make an
appropriation until the people of Los
Angeles are united upon one site or the
other. What balderdash that is. Does
not every sane man know that if we can
only get an appropriation when

THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT.

When a government becomes so intol.
erably burdensome that many people
find it difficult to raise enough money to
pay their annual taxes. it is time to
think seriously about reform in that
government. The people Of Los Ange-
les are in that predicament. 1t is with
difficulty that most of them can gather
up enough money to satisfy the tax col
lector and many go delinquent. This is
more likely to occur on account OF the
unusual stringency of the times, but if
times we're good, so exorbitant are the
demands of the several governmeArs-
federal, state, county and city-that it is
hard task to meet them.
As a general proposition, that govern
ment is best which costs the least.
If the converse OF that proposition be
true, and the government worst which
costs most, ours must be very bad, for
there is hardly a government to be
found equally burdensome. Itis shame
full that this little population, of less
than one hundred thousand souls,
should be required to pay, for the priv
ilege of being governed, more than the
cost OF government in several OF the
states OF this union. The wickedness of
our people must be very glsring to re-
quire so much expenditure to keep
them in the line of duty.
There ia little in the nature of self
government about all this; but are we
really so bad? Do a majority of the
people endorse this thing, and are we
satisfied with it?
We have elected our own agents to
make laws for US, and we would seem to
have what we bargained for.
Beyond question, the producers of the
country do most of the voting and pay
most of the taxes. II taxes are over
burdensome it is our own action that
made them 30, and VIC may be accusing
-kv~BT5o-@ as--z-Ss.ss s--s~sto, perhaps IN tne
far distant future, that public expendi-
lures will be brought down to the stand
ard OF the best regulated communities.
but that will not occur until the fanat-
icism of bossism dies out, and blind
adhesion to otfice-seeking rings has
ceased In voting, as in other things,
men must learn to act in their own in
tereets if they would have good govern
ment.
1t is ascertained by careful cslcula-
ton that the concern called govern
ment in this locality costs for each in
habitant, counting all sexes and ages,
the sum Of $26 "a year. At this rate,
the burden on each head OF family is
about $3.50, or as much as the average
producer can save from his earnings.
But how is it with the Office seeking
contingent Of our population? They are
able to lay up their thousands. A sim
gle term in Office converts oneirom pow
erty to wealth. If this thing were not
encouraged by our lawmakers it would
not exist. Government in this coz ntry
costs at least twice what it ought, and
three times as much sa it costs in many
we'll regulated community. The reme
dy is primarily with the people, and
secondarily with the Legislature. More
care is required in selecting our law
makers. Ii we had better lawmakers
we should have fewer lswbreakers.

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-It iE said by
competent authorities that there are
only three actresses in the world who
could realize the authors ideal as the
heroine in Magds, with which play Mod
ieska is to open her engagement at the
Grand opera house next Thursday night.
These are Modjeska, Bernhardt and
Duse. This new play might be termed
a 'civil tragedy" for in the develop
ment OF his plot, Sudermann enacts a
tragic climax. Suderman belongs to the
school of Ibsen and Tolstoi, bat he has
marked an advance over their works, in
that he deals only with the inevitable
in life and does not delve for the NOR
bid or uncanny. ModjeskA will be sup
plemented by her entire New York
company. Mary Stuart and Macbeth
will constitute the remainder of her
repertoire.

OHIO has struck blow at patent
eggs, and the hen Is to be given an
other chance. The Buckeye State
Food Commissioners has seized ship
ment of "desiccated" eggs and de-
clared them unfit for food. The des-
located article is obtained from the
eggs Of hsh-eating seabirds, which
are secured by the million in the low
lands along the Atlantic coast. 1t is
said to be used by hotels and baker
les because it is much cheaper than
the natural hen fruit. 1t is clear to
anyone that the hen would have no
chance against competition of this
kind. Threatened by a patent egg
which machinery can turn out by the
million, she would simply have to re-
tire from business and quit laying
eggs. The discovery Of the Buckeye
commissioner that the patent article
is unfit for food gives the hen hope
for better times. If State boards of
health everywhere take advantage OF
this knowledge the Joyous cackle,
erstwhlle subdued by the cunning in
vention of man, may again be heard
in the barnyard.

THE fallof Breckenridge illustrates
the power of woman in politics,
when she chooses to exercise itfully
and earnestly. 1t demonstrates one
other thing, which not every think
ing woman, perhaps, would be pre-
pared to admit; and that's her power
is just as great now, if she brings it
into play boldly and with decision, as
it would be If she had the vote. 1t
was the women of Kentucky, bless
them, who laid The old unrepentant
sinner low. Had he claimed solely
the forgiveness of society, it might
have been accorded, in time. But
he stood out with almost unparalleled
audacity for a verdict against his
partner in the scandal, and for his
own triumphant reinstatement,
which would have been equivalent to
espousing his side of the nauseous
controversy. This was too much. 1t
was the act Of an obstinate man,
who knew that he was in the wrong
but who had not the moral courage
to say so.

Miss ANNA GouLD's exploits in
Europe are sufficiently crowned by
Queen Victoria's peremptory refusal
to permit Prince Francis of Batten-
burg to continue his campaign for
the millions. The Gould family
having raced the Prince Of Wales and
been snubbed' by him, and having
ilirted with the Battenberg and been
flouted by the queen, have had enou III
acquaintance with the rebuff royal
to entitle them to a coat of arms-a
cuff (crowned) surrounding a nose
(tweaked). AS for the prince, he
seems to be as we'll suited as can be
imagined with the arran cement He
has been living from hand to mouth
with enough to eat, Of course, but
hardly enough to gamble decently,
and the episode, if it will not loosen
the queens pursestrings, at least has
forced the frugal lady to promise him
a suitable bride, competent to sup.
port him in the way he was brought
UP to live. And so they were not
married and they lived happily ever
after.

been pushing cattle to the states as fast
us possible.

largest sown in years, Notwithstanding

London, England, Commercial Circu-
lar: Two years ago the -four manufac.
tured from Kansas wheat was not known
on the London market. A few consigned
lots arrived, but these went to the En-
glish milers to be mixed with their own
product, and the value Of Kansas -four
was unknown to our bakers. The low
price of Russian, Argentine and Ameri'
can wheat has enabled our millers to do
without foreign -four; 80, to find mark
bt for parcels arriving on consignment,
our factors had to offer the -four to
bakers. The result is that wherever this
brands OF Kansas hard wheat -four went
blkers asked for more, and now Kansas
-four is found in most of the principal
bakeries in London. Go to what bake
house you like and you will see the now
we'll known brands of my Queen"
white Lily" "Seal Of Kansas" "Red,"
Senate" "Royal Lily" Argyle" etc.
Hearing OF the demand for this -four, we
spoke to some of our baking friends as
to their opinion of it, Every one Of
them spoke Of its superior quality, and
said that it was the -four to suit the
London trade. 1t is easy to work, and
not requiring so long a sponge as Min
nesota -four, it produces as much bread
to the sack as any -four in use, while the
bread has lovely soft golden hue, and
the flavor is sweet and nutty, recalling
the flavor of the bread made from that
prince Of hours-Hungarian; in fact, ono
of our friends in the Edgeware road who
bakes 100 sacks week, said he would
prefer it to Hungarian, meaning, we
presume, that the flour and It's cost
suited his trade best Kansas hard
wheat -four is now finding its way into
all our large bakeries and bread COM
panies, and the demand for this -four is
taxing the millers in Kansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma and other states where this
wheat is grown.
