JULIE WALTERS IN "SIDE TRACKED"
Many new and novel features will be in
troduced in the coming presentation of
that very funny comedy, Side Tracked, !"
to be seen at Crawford's Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. With julie Walters
as the gentlemanly tramp is almost a
guarantee that the performance will be up
to the standard. Mr.. Walters version of
tramp" is certainly an original one and
shows that he possesses unusual clever
ness as a comedian. Side Tracked" is
almost entirely rewritten this season and
several characters added. The company
carries all scenery for the production.
The union depot in Jonesboro is very
realistic and amusing, and in the third
act two most original and funny railroad
scenes are introduced. The passenger
train is described as the most realistic
ever presented. In this act there will also
be multitude of specialties of a very high
order. including Murphy and Mackin, the
worlds greatest musical comedians, and
little Ada Walters, Americas supreme

WE are not disposed to believe the story
sent to the London Times from Blue
fields, to the effect that our marines re-
fused to protect American residents, left
the land and returned to their ship. and
that the Americans in their anger tore
down the stars and stripes and trampled
upon the flag. In the first place the body
of marines could not have exceeded two
companies; the Niearaguan troops are
said 60 have numbered 1000. It is not
stated that the Americans were refused
shelter upon our warship. nor does it ap-
pear that they were not participants in
the local difficulty and therefore subject
to the law of the place. Finally, the story
is from a source not likely to put the
Americans in favorable light We pre-
fer to await further advices before believ-
ing that any American commander re-
fused to protect American citizens, or
that Americans in foreign land insulted
their own flag. The story is too English
to be accepted out of hand.

SOME NEWSPAPER FACTS
The Country Newspaper VIII be Pub
Iished for Business.


From the Bakersfield Californian.l
1t seems to be common impression
that the newspaper is public institution.
! upon which every body has claim, some
right to say in its management or to 3
kick if its policy does not suit them. For
| that reason q newspaper IS constantly
| subjected TO demands that are unreason-
able and unjust.
| Few people have any adequate idea
| what it costs to run newspaper IN an
! ordinary country town. The failure to
appreciate this, and to grasp the business
relation which the EDITORS enterprise sus-
| tains to other enterprises, explains the
| large number Of newspaper failures tnat
are recorded and the vast amount or
money annually sunk in the business.
The city paper does business on strict
| business principles. and IS therefore aole
| to be prosperous ana TO hVe IN lts own
| home on front street.
When you enter it's Office the first thing
visible is the business manager, with his
clerks at the cash counter. The editor
| and mis- assistants are in remote back
room or on the third floor. The day OF
! the business manager III the country
newspaper office is also coming, ana
when il does come the local newspaper
that of an independent and profitable
| business enterprise.
When that time comes, the man who
wants notice printed in the newspaper
for his personal benefit or TO advance his
private interests will pay for it just as he
pays the merchant for his goods.
The boarding house keeper who wants
the paper to notify the public that he has
removed to another street will be charged
! regular rates for the notice, just as he
| charges the boarders for their meals.
The subscriber who pays for one copy
Of the paper regularly will not expect a
few extra copies free occasionally when
something nice has been said about him,
any more than he would expect his milk
man, from whom he buys quart of milk
every morning, to send him half gallon
OF cream free of charge every time he
entertains his friends at select dinner.
La short, the reign OF newspaper dead
headism will be over, because dead
headism will come TO be esteemed as un-
professional and unbusiness-like to all
concerned as it has long been unproft-
able TO the editor.

An OLD. OLD STORY.

San Francisco's assessment roll in two
years has fallen down nearly $50. 200, 600
according to her returns to the State
Board of Equalization. The city has
been cited to explain. sndthere is roar
in consequence.
That there has been some decline in
zeal estate values is not to be denied. nor
is it surprising. The press of the
metropolis has done its level best TO pro-
duoe that result It could not have done
more had it been retained by bitter
enemy of the city. It has made war,
silly and senseless war, upon material
interests, has preached persistently and
shanlelessly doctrines that tend to re-
move the protection of the law from
property, and thus has alarmed that great
coward. capital.
Some of its members have engaged in
shameless rivalry to plunder the city
treasury. and have fostered every steal
from the strong box of the city that has
bssn attempted. AZ We write there

TIE PRICE OF WHEAT.

The San Francisco Call presents in its
issue of August 18th two very interesting
interviews on the subject of the future Of
wheat in the United States. The first is
with I. c. Friedlander. Secretary of the
Produce Exchange; the second is with A..
Montpelier, Cashier and Manager of the
Grangers' Bank of California. The opin-
ion may safely be vouchsafed that Mr..
Friedlander is in possession of more re-
liable data on the subject of wheat pro-
duction, facilities for wheat shipment,
and the influence of all the factors enter
ing into the problem on the present and
future price of breadstuffs. In the past,
two cents a pound has not been an un-
usual price. For many years 81 80 CEN
tai at some time in the year was GER
tainty and was considered a low price.
The present price at points of production
in the Sacramento and San Joaquin VAL
leys is from 70 to So cents per GENITAL.
Mr.. Friedlander declares that the rea-
son for this reduction is that the cost Of
producing the wheat has declined. To
use his language: 1.-THE cost of produc-
tion and of transportation have been
constantly lessening since 1873. Trans
portation to-day is just about one-third of
what it was twenty years ago. Not only
have ocean rates been reduced, but rates
from inland wheat-growing States to the
Atlantic seaboard have been correspond
ingly lowered" Mr.. Friedlander pro-
ceeds by saying that in an article written
by himself for the State Agricultural So
ciety in 1891, he showed that the cost of
raising wheat had declined 81 % per ton.
His opinion is that the cost to-day is $40
per ton less to the farmer than it was
twenty years ago.
Commenting upon this the Call says:
"Mr. Friedlander ascribes the decline in
the value of wheat to the diminution of
the cost of transportation, and he was
himself probably nearer the truth than
his views of fover-production."
In ali these statements of fact and ex-
pressions of opinion we find confrma-
ton for the conclusion that g reduction
in the cost of transportation inures to the
benefit of the consumer and tends to
lower the price Of any commodity pro-
duced. The Republican State Conven-
tion adopted as part of its declarations
OF policy its approval of the plan of pay
ing a part of the cost of transportation
from the Treasury of the United States.
This would cheaper the production Of
wheat as well as other staple agricultu-
raj products of this country in the mar
ksts of Europe, and, according to the tes-
timony of experience confirmed by best
informed opinion, would have the effect
simply to lower the price to the con-
sumer without benefit to the producer.
The Republican State Convention must
have adopted the plank under considers-
ton impelled by nervous eagerness to
find favor in the eyes of the agricultural
classes. Its adoption must be conclusive
OF the fact that the plank in question
was either not wisely considered or was
at the time of its adoption but impsr-
fectly understood.

IN 1876 Japan, by treaty, recognized
Corea as sovereign and independent
State. Next the United States accorded
Corea the same recognition and sent to
her court a duly accredited Minister.
Then came in order England, Germany.
Austria. France and last Russia with like
Acknowledgment and recognition. Is it
possible now that these great powers
will permit China to enforce her claim
that Corea is her yassal? We all know
that Chinese diplomatic craft long re-
fused to acknowledge in all the world
any other sovereignty than her own
indeed. until recently such was her
policy. But we apprehend that she will
never again attempt to maintain such an
absurd position.

Tomato crea1n Sauce.

Cook half can of tomatoes with sprig
of thyme. one stalk of celery, slice of
onion and a bit OF bay leaf for twenty
minutes. Add half saltspoonful of soda
and strain. Make cupful of cream sauce
by melting tablespoonful of flour and a
cupful of cream or milk, and just before
serving combine with the tomato. Season
with salt and cayenne to taste. The soda
will make the sauce less liable to separ-
ate. This sauce will be found very good
to serve with other things besides lobster
cuts, and differs somewhat from the usual
tomato sauce.

T. F. Lischke, formerly editor OF the

local Fteeman's Protective Silver FEEDER
alton, didn't know what Populism meant.
The murder OF Gloystein and other law
less acts have opened his eyes. He has
changed the name Of his paper to the
Democrat, and in his issue of August Sth
says:
''In the eternal fitness of things, an ex-

EMMA GOLDMAN, the anarchist, is to be
released from prison in New York in a
few days, and she and Mowbray, the
English anarchist, are already announced
to speak from the same platform in ad-
vocacy of anarchy on the 10Th inst. Yet
there are people who think there is too
much restraint upon freedom in this
country. Truth is, the Americans are
the most patient, forbearing and tolerant
people on the face of the globe. There is
not on all this round earth another spot
among civilized people where Mowbray
and Goldman would be permitted to
preach the destruction of the very sys-
tenn that protects them in their preach
ing.
If the anti-anarchist bill which passed
the United States Senate by unanimous
vote on the 9th inst. is concurred in by
the House, where q similar bill had al
ready been passed, and becomes law,
Goldman and Mowbrsy may find it i'm
possible to hold their New York meeting
and discreet to leave the country. Now.
bray's filing of declaration of intention
to become citizen will not save him, fol
the bill especially provides that such Ill
ing shall not operate to stay deportation
OF an anarchist if at any time such one
is arrested, tried and convicted of even a

THE OWL, WAR

First Twelve Ready.


First Twelve Ready.
A few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become q matter
of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, and written by the foremost
historians of late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD might have sold these
parts at figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped rich
profit on the sales, hut it entered into the
matter solely for the benefit of its SUBJ
scribers, and is offering each part at exact
cost-eight cents.
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at

comes to hand San Francisco journal
that assumes to be a watch dog of the
treasury, and really is entitled to some
credit of that kind. and declares that
the street sweeping contractors have in
formed it and a citizens economic COM
mittee. that the reason the streets are not
properly cleaned is because the con-
tractors have been forced TO pay heavy
sums to boodlers and officials as the
price of securing the contracts, leaving
so little that the streets could not be
swept for the sum without ruin to the
sweepers.
One of the most pretentious journals of
the city, one that bawls loudest about
honesty and economy. turns in to the As
SCISSOR its worldly possessions as of but
$4,000 value, when it has boasted that its
several presses alone are worth from Sl5,-
900 to $4,000 each. 1t is averred that
several San Francisco papers receive
more money each election year from the
city treasury for single advertisement
than the sum Of the assessment of such
journals for taxation.
There is not newspaper bowler in the
metropolis that is assessed for so much as
any one of several of the country news
papers of the State. The Stockton Mail,
which makes no pretension to wealth. de-
clares. for instance. that the San Fran
cisco EraDliaer'S assessment of $4,000 is
but slightly more than the assessment of
the MaiL.
1t is notorious that personal property in
San Francisco is not more than one-half
discovered by the Assessor, and that even
that is not rated at one-third the value
prescribed by the law.
While. as we have said, there has been
some declination in realty values in the
metropolis, it has not been in two years
$50, 900. 600. nor anywhere near that figure.
On the contrary, it is claimed that build
ing improvement and new investment
during that period have probably nearly
equalized any loss by reason of decline in
real estate values.
The simple truth is. that if any fairly
searching inquisition is made into the
assessment roll it will be discovered that
San Francisco is playing her old game of
evading her just share Of the burdens of
maintaining State Government. While
the metropolis has steadily grown, build
ing mas gone on without startling inter
ruption, the shrinkage of values has not
been nearly so great as in the interior
counties, which have undeniably greatly
suffered in that direction.
The interior asks for no injustice to-
wards San Francisco, but it does demand
that it shall not be permitted to shirk
from its full duty in the matter of tax
paying. 1t is not to be deceived by the
railroad hue and cry the press of that city
has set up to withdraw attention from the
city's evasion. The reassessment OF the
railroads, in which the metropolitan jour-
mails pretend to find cause for hysterical
manifestation the Board of Equaliza-
ton We apprehend can not only justify
from its standpoint, but the facts will
show that it was to the gain of the State
in measure that gives just cause for
complaint by the railroad companies that
they have been assessed in excess of the
demands Of strict justice.
