The announcement that the
State Committee, Democratic, Of
Illinois has called a convention for
June Fourth to test the sentiment
of the party on the silver issue,
seems to be a little aside of the
facts, judging from the manner in
which Senator Palmer rOasts that
call and the minority who issued
it. There will be more music in
that state convention than H.
inois Democrats have seen since
reconstruction times. Illinois is
by no means in the free silver
camp, and the other western
states that are claimed for the l6
to heresy will be heard from be-
fore the next election in no uuccr-
tain terms. The Democratic party
may not be alone in this division
in it's ranks over the currency
question, but the Republicans are
not inviting trouble before the
time.
China does not give assent to the
reports that a definite conclusion
has been reached between her and
Japan as to the peace treaty pend
ing, at least this is the superstition
prcdicated upon the statements Of
the Chinese officials at Washing
ton. II this is true there will be a
renewal of hostllities as soon as
the armstice expires, and that has
only few days to run now. China
will wish that she had closed peace
proceedings before she gets another
olive branch held out, for Japan
will increase her demands with
the prolongation of hostilities.

PASADENA, April 6. - The average
householder in Pasadena is greatly inter-
ested in the agitation of two subjects
which concern his pocketoook, namely:
the water question and the insurance
question, both of which are engrossing a
large share of public attention just at
present.
The reported suspension OF rates IN
Los Angeles, together with the With
drawal of four more companies from the
State Insurance Union, is not looked
upon as conducive to an early settlement
of the insurance war which still RACES In
Pasadena, greatly to the advantage OF all
except the poor overworked agents. These
latter are writing policies night and day,
almost to keep up with the demand, ana
rates are said to be down to the rldlcu-
lously low figure of about 70 cents per
800 Tor one year and 40 cents for three
years on dwellings. and in some cases
lower yet.
Lower permanent rates must be the out
come of all this, and it will thereby add
to the desirability of q home in Pasadena
to the extent that insurance rates are
permanently reduced.
Another item that cuts some figure IN
determining ones choice of a home. not
merely from the financial point of view,
but from co.. siderations of health and
well-being also is the matter OF water and
the regulations that are made concerning
its use. The quality of the water that is
served to Pasadena citizens is very good,
but there has been some discussion as to
whether the present system OF regulations
concerning it might not be very greatly
improved upon resulting in lower cost
to the consumer than the present system.
meeting is to be held tonight in
Williams hall which will probably be
largely attended, at which a tull and free
discussion of the matter will take place,
on the part of the directors and stock
holders OF the Lake Vineyard Company.
Under the present arrangement, only those
who have stock get water SO that the
number OF stockholders is consequently
very large.
at the meeting this evening Director
c. C. Brown will give the history OF the
Lake Vineyard Company and its opera
tions and set before the stockholders is
present condition that they may take
such action in the premises as seems to
them wise.

wuATIsADE DEGENERATE?

The brain of the murderer Hayward has
been examined, and the creature is discov-
cred to be a degenerate" according to the
rules laid down by such degenerate philnso-
piers as Lombrusa and Nnrdau.
1t is easy to conclude that Hayward was
a degenerate after he is discovered tn be
n murderer and is hanged for his crime.
What is needed is a rule by which degen-
crates can be found out before they are
hanged, ana then to hang them before their
degcneracy manifests itself in perform
ances which are derogatnry to the health
of other people.
Looking out upon the broad ocean of the
human mass, one can detect ripples here
and there, even in tho highest circles
which suggest the presence of the quatrain
of stigmata which Luinbrosa has defined
as a certain indication of lunacy; but the
trouble is the man must be killed before
the lunacy can be made an established fact.
Psychology is making great strides, how
ever, and we may yet be able to mingle
with statesmen and spectators and poets
and learn from infallble exterior signs
the degree Of sanity which separates them
from the class which is Thought to be en-
tirely sane until violence and an autopsy
prove them tn have been degenerate either
by reason of heredity OF the Influences of

Japsn'. Imitation of Europe.

Our Consul at Toxic says that there is
nothing of common use produced in Europe
which cannot now be initiated with more
or less success in Japan; and seeing the
extent which the export of such articles
as glassware, matches and umbrellas has
already attained, the japanese may con-
slider themselves justified in looking for
ward to an equally profitable export in
course of time OF many of the above
articles. All of them are wonderfully
cheap, most of them are excellent in ap-
pearance, and some of them are also good
to nse. The surgical instruments, il is
said, are often equal to the best produced
in England. Straw hats, rugs and fancy
blankets and flannel are OF fair quality,
excellent for the prices, but in the ma jority
of cases cheapness and appearance are the
sole recommendations News.
