SPARE THE SHEEP.

The Los Angeles Times, in the course of
an elaborate argument in behalf Of the
wool Industry. says:
Many Southern Californians, who have come
to live in this section during the past ten
years, have little conception OF the importance
OF this Industry. Around the cities the land
has been cut up into orchards and vineyards,
and the sheep men have been driven further
back into the mountains. Yet The wool product
of the State for 1898 is estimated at 81, Ooo.-
600 pounds, Of which about 10 per cent was
produced in Southern California. In former
years the annual product reached 10000, 600
and 100000 pounds. During the last
twenty years a number of fiockmasters have
spent small fortunes in improving the breed Of
California sheep and endeaVoring 10 build up
the industry.
The Times prints letter from a wool
grower which states his intention after
another year to turn bis sheep over TO the
butcher. The wool-grower admits that
this is "a poor end indeed to a career of
persistent care and heavy OUTLAWS TO stock
California with the best sheep the world
could produce" But the free-traders say
the duty is as yet the same as it has been.
The Mckinley tariff has not yet been re-
pealed. To this the answer is that there
are people in the world wiser than the
man in the play who did not repair his
roof because when the weather was good
it did not need repair and when the
weather was bad he could not work Wool
has been marked for sacrifice since 1890.
and the wool-growers have been putting
their houses in order. The wool product
of California, as the Times says, has fallen
from 100000 pounds to 80. o00 900, and
will fall more rapidly than in the past if
the Wilson bill becomes q law. One
would suppose from the legislation the
Democrats have in hand that there was
surplus of work instead of a surplus Of
workers.

THE BUSINESS HORIZON.

The commercial agencies report slow
gain all round, but gain nevertheless.
The bank clearances are still below those
of last year and railroad earnings also
show continued decline. The most real
indications of recovery come from the
South, though the price of cotton remains
low. The crop is going to be large and the
planters have adopted system of economy
and self-deDendence which tends to make
them comfortable. New York merchants
report fair amount of Southern orders
and an Improvement il collections. The
North is suffering from the abnormal de-
preston in wheat.
That a turn is approaching seems inevi-
table. Produce of ali kinds. cotton, grain,
provisions, meats, vegetab les and the like,
is moving forward and entering into con-
sumption. while simultaneously the coun-
try stores are bare of goods and their Gus

and coats out at elbows. The current of

IDLE.
The Springfield Republican records the
fact that that city has also, in anticipation
of taxes, borrowed S360.000 at 3 per
cent interest, the banks taking the loan.
But in this instance the corporation
note. which was TO run until NOvem-
Der, was discounted. That Is, the in
terest, according to the custom of Eastern
banks, was taken cut in advance. That
would make the loan rather more than 8
per cent although the difference is gener-
ally considered as nominal. There were
nearly dozen banks and banking firms
that offered TO take the loan at a small
fraction above per cent. These transac-
tons illustrate the cbeapness of money in
the Atlantic States. 1t is seldom that any
municipal corporation has been able to
borrow money for short time at such
low rates. With revival OF business 1t is
not probable that such rates could be
quoted to any extent.

JUST A LITTLE BEHIND.

Four years ago, when Thomas B. Reed
was elected Speaker by a very narrow ma
jOrity, he had the forecast to perceive that
the House could not transact much bust
ness il it was compelled to maintain
quorum of the majority party. Mr.. Reed
Is man OF resources and it occurred to
him that rule authorizing the Speaker to
count as present member who sat in his
seat and refused to vote would greatly
facilitate the transaction of business. Mr..
Reeds Iule was adopted and was found to
work admirably. The Democrats de-
nounced it roundly at the time, but have
since shown disposition to get as near to
it as they could and not adopt it word for
word Every time they consider the
quorum problem they get little nearer to
Mr.. Reeds solution of IL. On Monday a
caucus absolutely came within twenty
votes out of 100 of adopting it. This shows
progress. 1t shows that the Democratic
minds know good thing, not perhaps at
first glance, but after considerable con-
temptation of It. That the Democratic
warehouses; should approach the Reed rules
@ little reluctantly and with some under
tone calculations is entirely compatible
with average human nature. If there was
a remote chance that they would control
another House within the lives of men not
yet old, it would be good two to one bet
that the Democrats would not only accept
the Reed rules, but claim that they were
the original Jacob in the case.

WHAT is NEWS?

An esteemed evening contemporary got
out an extra on Monday to announce the
surrender of Evans and MOrrell and in an
article directing public attention to its
enterprise said that the surrender was the
biggest news since the fight of Corbett
and Mitchell. And yet between these two
great events several things happened. A
tariff bill which cannot fail to have a
powerful influence one way or another
upon the prosperity of the people has
passed one House of Congress. The pub
lished Hawaiian correspondence has, to
say the least. been interesting reading.
The little trial of strength between the
President and Senator Hill over the Peck
ham nomination has attracted considerable
attention. The Western Congress has
held four days session in this city and
declared its policy in respect to the Mica
ragua canal. silver question and other
matters. Possibly none of these events
can be considered as really important in
comparison with the international slog-
ging match or the capture of couple of
outlaws. but, Insignificant as they are.

discussion. But the question remains I'M

LOANS AND CHEAP MONEY.

Recently the city of Boston had occasion
to borrow $1,000, COO tor few months in
anticipation of taxes There were many
bidders for the loan. The notes of the
city were given in the form of long bank
paper. The money was borrowed at the
rate OF 3 per cent, with probably a small
commission paid for transactIng the bust

much paper in proportion to Its population
as Boston. If there is good loan on the
market the Boston capitalist is on hand.

great demand, especially such as were

shouldered the big end of the Atchison,

chinery Will be unequal TO the task. especially
when It works under a law that places a
premium on mendacity.
The exclusive right OF the States to levy
direct taxes has been recognized under all
administrations, except under pressing
emergencies. The Federal Government
has other sources of revenues. Its ability
to obtain money from customs and in
ternal taxes is practically unlimited. The
one-hslf of our imports which come in free
might be subject to duties if the Govern
ment needed the money. The Mckinley
bill put sugar on the free list because the
treasury was then in a position to do
without the money obtained from duties
on that product.
Congress IS now divided between the
proposition TO impose an income tax and
one to collect about the amount Of
money from sugar that could be COL
lected from the income tax. The present
chances are that the income tax will be

sCHOOLTEACHER'S PLANT.

A teacher in the grammar school of
Chicago says that cultivated women are
turning from the SchoolroOm to other fields
and attributes the fact to inadeQuacy of
compensation. A grammar teacher In that
city gets $50 month for forty weeks. A
policeman. fireman and other servants of
the public are paid for fifty-two weeks.
There is some justice in this complaint.
The twelve weeks the teacher loses have
little OF no pecuniary value to her. She
cannot engage in other moDey-making oc-
cupatioD. The vacation is pleasant, but
in most cases costs more than the same
length of time at work. In San Francisco
the teachers are paid the full fifty-two
weeks and still they think that teachers
lot is not altogether a happy one.

RICH AND THEIR RICHES.

q New York paper has given long list
of men millionaires and shorter list of
women who have become millionaires by
inheritance. 1t was the same paper which
estimated the fortune OF Horace w. Car
pentier at S2o.o0O.OOo, and made Miss
Maude Burke, his niece, ward and heir.
The article was published for the con-
sumption Of that dwindling order of minds
which believe everything they read in the
papers. Mr.. Carpenter himself, who
ought to know, says that he has no $780,
100000, nor smaller number of millions,
that Miss Burke is neither his niece. ward
nor heir. There was probably as much
truth in the Carpenter story as in others
the enterprising New York journal in
vented. In most cases the fortunes of
rich men are much overestimated.

The dynamite outrage at Angels Camp
is the act Of some one wreaking vengeance
in respect of personal grudge. but only
in the motive does it differ from the fiend-
ISL deeds of the anarchists. The poor
Austrian and his family wLo were the OBJ
ject of the attack have narrowly escaped
with their lives. A most murderOus charge
of the explosive was used and the miscre-
ant responsible seems to have endeavored
to do his worst. 1t Is becoming question
of Importance how the sale of these high
explosives can be better checked. The
suggestion may be offered that dynamite
should not be more easily obtained than
deadly poisons and that all purchases
should be registered by the seller. But,
unfortunately, experience shows that any
one who wants quantity of poison can
with very little difficulty obtain it on
himsy pretext. and any declarations of law
on the subject OF dynamite sales would Just
as easily be evaded. Contractors are also
so careless in the storage of dynamite that
1t Is easy TO steal few cartridges.
Some qualms of official con science have
subdued the eagerness of the Supervisors
to give plenary powers to the kiosk syndi-
cate, which proposes to adorn the streets
of San Francisco with structures wholly
unnecessary. The terms of the contract
are being revised so as to preclude the sale
of wares. The chairman Of the Finance
Committee says the kiosks will only be
used for advertisements and information
above and rubbish below. Perhaps rub
bisb would correctly describe the whole
outfit. Already the sidewalks are suffi-
GENTLY incumhered with signboards and
boxes of goods, and If these kiosks are
erected citizens 10 turning corners are sure
