COAST EXCHANGES.

Upon his return to Woodland after an
absence Of few years, j. H. DUNCAN, the
new editor of the Mail, finds that Won
derful advance has been made. As it
illustrates a similar accomplishment in SO
many communities of the State and as it
has special value as showing the remark.
able progress that Woodland has made in
the recent past, and as serving as pledge
OF still greater advancement, it is well 10
set forth the list here as Mr.. DUNCAN has
compiled it: The reincorporation of the
city, handsome City Hall, sewerage
system, public water works, street pave
ments, numbering of the streets and
houses, Hall of Records, numerous sub
stantial business blocks, prosperous cleo
trlc light company, extension and beauti-
lying OF the residence part of town and
the erection therein of many handsome
houses. the prosperity of the wooden mills,
the organization of a high school and the
establishment OF a creamery. In addition
are a proposed new opera-house and ar
mory hall, proposed new fruit cannery
and the necessity for yielding to popular
demand for sugar refinery to utilize the
beets for which the surrounding country
is so admirably adapted. Mr.. DUNCAN
rightly adds; "Ths above is most ex-

men to combine and pay his salary.
Probably the best way would be to i'm
pose graduated license on milk dealers,
adjusted at stated times to the volume OF
their business, and employ the fund SO
raised to the payment of his salary.
The honest dealers could not be expected
to object to such plan, as it would assure
their protection against competition with
dishonest dealers, and would enable all
honest dealers to charge living price for
their milk. including the slight increase
necessary to pay the license tax. AS one
OF them has said in CALL interview, con-
sumers are exceedingly unwise to buy the
cheapest milk they can find. 1t is clearly
better and more economical to buy the
best milk and pay good price for it.
1t is the height of municipal unwisdom
to place any officer in position where
temptation in the absence of an adequate
salary may wait upon him.

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

The situation OF the dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela is simply
this: By invading Venezuela with an
armed force, and by crossing Brazilian ter
ritory on that mission, Great Britain has
theoretically deded the Monroe doctrine
| and challenged this Government to enforce
it. The Cleveland administration has pro-
claimed Its determination to enforce the
doctrine, and there is considerable activity
in preparing the armed vessels Of the Ma
ton for hard and immediate service.
Meanwhile the administration has sub
mltted proposition to the British Gov
eminent, which has not yet taken action
on it. Some action cannot be DELAYED
much longer, as fighting between the Brit
ish and Venezuelan forces is likely to be-
gin very soon.
This does not by any means indicate
that there will be a serious conflict be-
tween this country and Great Britain.
Nor is it right to assume that England S
attitude in the south is meant deliberately
to test the temper Of the United States 1t
Is doing only what it has done many a
time before, and what it will continue al
ways to do unless it is checked. The check
must come from this country, if at all. 1t
need not be war, and more than likely viii
not be; for in such an event all the eoun-
tries of the American Continent would
unite against England, and so render it
powerless to enforce it's demands It's one
policy would be to avoid war, and this it
could do only by accepting the United
States as an arbiter. In the exercise of that
function the United States might evade
raising the question of the Monroe doc
trlne altogether. For that matter the
question has not been really raised as yet,
and England can avoid its raising by &C.
cepting proposition from the United
States to act as arbiter.
That such a course will likely be pursued
by Great Britain in order purposely to
avoid the raising of that ques ton and en-
bodying it In treaty is what may be ex-
pected and what has been already indi-
Gated by the pacific and temporizing tone
OF the English press. While professedly
acknowledging the right of the Monroe
doctrine they are suggesting plans which,
| If adopted, would hold it in allegiance.
They are announcing, for instance, that
the Nicaragua canal should be constructed
by combination of the great powers with
the United States and managed by an in
transitional commission which shall pro-
tect equally the maritime interests of all
the nations interested. This is an exceed
ingiy shrewd suggestion, as it neither
raises the question of the Monroe doctrine
nor comes in conflict with its spirit.
Some such evasive policy as this, with
an acceptance of the United States as an
arbiter in the Venezuelan dispute, may be
expected from Lord Salisbury. 1t will be
interesting to observe how the Cleveland
administration will regard it.

A NEEDED LAW.

It is earnestly hoped that Congress will
pass the law which will be submitted at the
next session by the California delegation
relative to the boJtling of American BRAN
dies and their expectation. The proposed
measure provides that American brandy
in bonded warehouses shall be relieved OF
the internal revenue tax of 81 10 a gallon
when it is either bottled for export or ex-
ported in bulk. 1t has been found that the
French and Canadian laws to this effect
have made it impossible for Americans to
export brandy in competition with these
foreign products. Under our laws as they
exist all spirits must pay the internal reve-
nue. tax whenever bottled in bonded ware
houses, whether intended for local or for
eign consumption, and whenever sent out
of the country in bulk. This makes it i'm
possible to introduce cur brandies into the
| foreign markets that are eager to secure
them.
The law would have other good effects.
| The bottling would be done under the SUI
pervislon of the Government and a stamp
would be affixed to each bottle guarantee
ing its purity and stating the article from
which it is produced. The brandies made
in California are the best in the world, be-
cause they are made from grapes. The
Government stamp would be an assurance
both to home and foreign consumers that
the California article is vastly superior to
the potato spirits favored to initiate brandy
and sent out from foreign countries. Here
in the United States we consume enormous
quantities of these injurious manufactured
brandies and have no protection against
the frauds which they represent.
Still another good result would be the
permitting of each holder of brandy in q
bonded warehouse to blend and reblend
his brandles in order to secure uniform
standard upon which he could base his
reputation for producing the best or a spe-
cial quality of goods as basis of his sue
cess in pushing his trade at home and
abroad. 1t is the ability to do this enjoyed
by foreign makers which has made certain
brands of brandy famous and largely con-
sumed the world over.
The adoption of such law would mean
the addition of millions of dollars to the
wealth of California and the building up
OF brandy industry on an enormous scale !;
for If our brandies are given an equal
chance with others in the markets of the
world they will necessarily lead by reason
of their excellence and purity.
AS the party in power has not shown a
disposition TO adopt policy for the en-
couragement of home industries it may be
that the measure will be defeated, par
ticularly as the administration is casting
about for means to increase the internal
revenue tax rather than reduce it.

THE INSPECTORS SALARY.

1t is gratifying to observe, from inter
views published in THE CALL, that the
leading and responsible dairymen who fur
nish the local supply of milk are fully in
sympathy with the work of Milk In
spector Dockery, and that they see great
benefit to themselves in the establishment
OF rigid inspection of milk. That IS the
best possible evidence of their own honesty
and of their desire for the enforcement of
such regulations as will eliminate the dis
honest competition with which they have
to deal, and which is so injurious to their
business.
The astounding discoveries made by Mr..
Dockery, while alarming and dismaying
the whole City, have clearly demonstrated
the value of the service which he is per-
forming, and the eminent ACCESSIBILITY of
providing for the payment of his salary.
AT present this is in very uncertain con-
dltion. He doubtless expects to get a
salary IN some way, else he would likely

They came in from different parts of the coun-
try when the work first began, and they came
with no shelter, most of them, except very old
or very thin tents. The weather was good. the
nights warm, and there was no reason why
they should house themselves up. So they
settled down, like gypsies, under the trees
or out in the open as it suited their
fancy. Under the trees, close by st. Mary g
Academy, on Mormon Channel, there is a large
camp OF the railroad men. They have made a
sort of altruist affair out of it. There is pub
use. They have several tents, small and large,
but the most of the men sleep, or did before

Chicago Tribune.

Unless Senator Sherman is the victim of O.
fixed delusion he ought to be able to see that
under no conceivable circumstances could he
have been nominated for President in 1880. A
perusal of the proceedings of the convention
of that year will satisfy any reasonable person
that such was the case. For that reason if for
no other, the Senator should have RETAINED
from 1nsinua tons that Garfield played him
false. 1t is quite natural that the Senator
should have felt sore when the convention
passed him by and nominated another Ohioan,
but after fifteen years have elapsed, during
which time he ought to have cooled down, he
ought not to SANDER the memory OF the dead.

SHERMAN AND HIS BOOK.

Mr.. Sherman's book will refresh the memo
ries OF the Ohio Republicans as to the methods
by which Ohio Republican factions can neu-
tralize each other and disappoint the hopes OF
all. If body doubts that the iron went into
the soul OF John Sherman when James A. Gar
field took the nomination from under him. let
him get q list OF the men he turned out of office
shortly alter the convention and gave their
political treachsry to him as reason for their
decapitation. General Grant said TO a friend
at that time: "There is one thing like about
John sherman, and that is that when he cuts a
mans head of for having betrayed him polit-
1cally, he squarely tells him the reason instead
of protesting, as President Hayes does, TO be
very sorry he has to make the change"
