more ana will there have to pay a duty
OF 80 per cent, which brings the cost up
to $27. The American who enters into
competition with him may be able to
get his cherries and sugar at the same
figures as the above, but his spirits,
with the duty paid, will cost him $50 for
a hundred gallon package. and his ma
nipulstion and freight charges to New
York will cost him total OF 50 more.
That makes a grand total of $65, or just
two and one-hslf times as much as the
sum for which the foreigner can place
the same goods on our market. An in
justice that can be 80 easily and clearly
demonstrated ought to be recti6ed at

the midwinter fair on Tuesday night,
adds another to the many victims who
come TO frightful end by over-confdence

animals is to destroy. They may, through
fear, appear to be thoroughly subdued
by their trainers, but it only requires a
slight irritation to rouse them to their
natural ferocity, and then the lives of
their keepers are at their mercy.

A SUIT has been commenced in San
Jose which will decide the question
whether county tressurers are author
ICED to pay salary warrants issued to
teachers of kindergarten schools. The
constitution clearly defines what schools
shall be supported out of the common
school fund, and the kindergarten is not
amongst them. All schools, except the
common schools, must be supported by
a special tax levy for that purpose on
the counties. This suit will determine
the status of kindergarten schools
throughout the state in their relation to
the.state school fund.

Mr.. G. A. WETMoRE has exposed Sc.
rioue defect in the Wilson bill, and Sem
ator White is earnestly engaged in try
ing to have it remedied by the senate
committee. Following the lead OF the
Mckinley tariff, fruit put up in spirits
is admitted at 30 per cent ad yalorem.
Mr.. Wetmore shows that the foreign
zaanipulator can lay this article down
in New York at price two and one
half times less than it can be sold for by
the home packer. He illustrates the
truth of his position by figures. In the
case OF branded cherries, says Mr.. Wet
more, a hundred gallon package made
mp in Germany will take SO worth OF
cherries; added to this will be sugar and
some minor ingredients to the extent OF
SO. The spirits used are really raw
aud not necessarily brandy. They cost
ST with manipulation. The total cost OF
the package would be $40 abroad. 1t

IT IS unfortunate that the Nevada
Southern railroad should have been
placed in the hands OF the sheriff for q
claim made by the receivers of the At
lsntic and Pacific company. The road
was seized by the sheriff of San Ber-
nardino and the trains stopped. as the
sheriff had no instructions about keep
ing the road open. The advices received
from the directors of the seized road ara
to the effect that they will satisfy the
claim, and start the road again immedi-
ately. When Mr.. Blake, the president,
was last heard from in New York, he
had succeeded in placing large block
OF bonds on the market. This ought
to relieve the road from the financial
embarrassment it is struggling with.

The death OF Colonel Jonathan D.
Stevenson takes away from the stage of
California life one OF its most conapiou-
GUS historical figures. During the Next

Second New York regiment, and it was
assigned to duty in California. The
regiment sailed on the ships Loo Choo
and Perkins in 1916, and arrived here in
the beginning of 1S47. 1t was kept in
active service in Upper and Lower Cali
fornis till the close of the war. When
the regiment was disbsnded the greater

which had Just been discovered. When
the argonauts arrived from the east, they
found Stevenson's men scattered all
over the state. Many OF them were
well behaved and prosperous citizens,
but there were a few hard cases among
them, and the acts OF these, being known
to every body, gave the disbanded SOL
diere a tough name. But the bulk OF
them, by their industry and thrift, be-
came prosperous citizens. The members
of the regiment are not very numerous
now. Many OF them settled in Los An
geles, but few Of them are left. We can
not recall one at the present time, and
the last one we have vivid recollection
of was John Schumacher, of Schuma-
cher block. We believe that ex Repre-
sentative 0. S. Houghton had come

regiment in 1S47. The father of the
Russ boys who built the hotel OF that
name in San Frsnciaco was a member
OF the regiment, and the Tttels who
left large estate in San Francisco also
came out with Colonel Stevenson. No
doubt there are number of old regl-
msnt men still alive in this city and
section. but they have disappeared from
public view. Colonel Stevenson him
self could not have been rich when he
died. He had to accept federal Office
