IT is probable that Mexico will declare
war against Guatemala, and it is also
pretty sure that Mexico is in the right in
the boundary dispute. twill be a strug
gle, if it comes, much like that between
mastiff and flee. Really it seems to be
cruel for so large and powerful State to
take up Guatemala and shake it. The
latter cannot stand before Mexico for
month. But there are some other consid
erations that would seem TO justify the
Mexicans in giving the Central American
State a sound thrashing. Guatemala
needs, like China, to have the conceit
taken out of her. She and most of the
other Central American countries appear
to have an itching for war, such as it is
when they run it. They are impertinent
and insulting to strong powers, and con-
stantly violate the rights of the subjects
and citizens of other States, and when
called to account get down upon their
bellies in abiect apology. Yet on several

boarded our ships, unlawfully searched
our citizens, imprisoned our people and
destroyed their property. In every in
stance they have gone free on making a
suitable apology, and in case of damage
on paying a small sum by way Of in
demnity. Over and over again they
offend, and apologize under coercion.
They are constantly fighting among them
selves, and state of peace appears to be
a state Of unrest with them. They fire.
quently act as if they deem themselves
the strongest and greatest of the earth,
and assert themselves with q swagger
that provokes a smile. These States need
to be taught the lesson of war that
Mexico is able to give. No power is so
well adapted to bastinsdo a pretentious
Central American State as our sister re-
public. She is likely to do it with sever
ity, since she has grievances quite as
pressing as other powers have had. War
is dreadful thing. 1t means the killing
of human beings, the destruction of
property and keen suffering among the
Innocent but it is sometimes necessary
that lasting peace may be assured. This
appears to be one of these cases. For
Guatemala's good Guatemala needs
sound thrashing.

AN Act is before the Assembly to create
a commission to promote uniformity of
legislation in the States on such subjects
as marriage, divorce, probate laws, in
solvency, etc. The commission is to re-
expense chargeable to the State. 1t is to
consider the advisability of inviting other
States to appoint commissions TO confer
with that Of California. There would seem
to be no reason why such bill should
not pass. There are subjects upon which
uniformity of State laws would greatly
conserve the public good and tend to
bind the States more closely to the
Union.

that would be distributed in as many To-
calities in State at once, and in year. s
time each would visit probably four dis
tinct groups of readers.
The experiment began in February.
1888, and in eight months, up to October,
1893, twenty-four libraries were sent out.
In the same time in 1894, l0I were sent out.
Ihese went to eighty-six places. In all
u,90o volumes were thus sent out, and
the statistics of 5000 of the volumes show
that their total circulation was 15,358, or
$40 readers to each 100 volumes. The
smallest circulation was sixty-six, and
the largest 500. The number of borrowers
was 1852, or an average Of three and one
half books to the reader. The library
that had the largest circulation, 500 in six
months, was IN small community in
distant section. Where there was the
lowest circulation, sixty-six, there was
public library of 5000 volumes. In some
places the visit of the travelling library
resulted in the founding of successful
permanent libraries.
The statistics of the character of the
reading are very interesting, and show
good taste, wholesome appetite for
clean, good, strong books, and thirst
for useful knowledge; but we cannot
here enter into these details. The whole
subject is fraught with interest, and must
much engage the thought of book-lovers,
and of the friends of popular education.

The contestant for the Office of Sheriff
in San Francisco has given up the con-
test. But as far as the recount proceeded
over 800 to less than $50. This reduction
was due to fraudulent counting of the
ballots. The fraud is so palpable that not
a single citizen has ventured to even sug-
gest that it was simply the error of inca
pacity. 1t was purposeful attempt to
ereignty. Now then, what is going to be
done about it? Is the whole matter to be
lost in forgetfulness and neglect to bring

the Yolo Bridge.
The draw of the Yolo bridge was
slightly damaged last evening by COL
lision with barge loaded with grain and
in tow of the steamer Red Bluff.
The steamer passed through the bridge
without difficulty, but the force of the
current threw the barge against the Yolo
end of the draw, which was pointed up
stream, and swung that end around to
the Sacramento side, where it caught on
the stationary bridge timbers.
Hydraulic jacks were procured and the
damage repaired in short time. All the
telegraph wires were torn from their
position and could not be replaced until
to-day.
A small quantity of grain was lost over
board from the barge, but the latter sus-
tanned no material damage.

appear. The San Francisco press agrees
that in the operate comedy, THE Devil

applause she receives. Her early stage
reputation was due wholly to a song
and dance act, but now she has proved
her capacity as a comedienne, and one
competent critic goes so far as 10 say that
she quite closely approaches the art of
the late Rosina Vokes. In The Devil
Bird" she proves her skill in graceful
dancing, and it is conceded that she is
wholly original in this, being like no
other, and Ill grace, ease and charm of
manner she is inimitable. The Argondut
critic say her dancing is qnite indescrib-
able, and is peculiar and attractive as is
no other. The specialists of the COM
pany are represented to be strong, and

factory. The troupe carries scenery and

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
OF THE

This great book has sold for years
at SIC to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are 164xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford SI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was SO COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into rs big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever beforehand has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de.
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as s.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers OF priceless historic value, ali

PLUNKET GREEN AT BAYREuTH.
The Irish sasso Sang There Five Year

The Irish Basso Sang There Five Years
Ago and VIII Go Again. Says Rumor.
In the stir about German opera Plum
ket Greene's artistic personality will
md reinforcement. Mr.. Greene's sing
ing of Teutonic ballads and his aston
ishingly good German have been the
cause of comment On two continents,
but he studied the German language
and German singing methods for sew
eral years in Stuttgart. Furthermore,
his first fame came to him when he APP
peared as an unknown at Bayreuth in
the role of Gurnemanz in "Parsifal.
Nine. Wagner chose in Mr.. Greene one
of the first foreigners who have been
permitted to sing there. Miss Marie
Brema of the Damrosch company is
another and in both are rare critical
acumen of the wife of the composer
has been fully demonstrated Mr..
Greene is averse to heralding himself
and his past successes and for this rea-
son his experience at Bayreuth is some
thing new. 1t was in 1890 that he
went there and in a long review of the
production of "Parsifal' the CORE
spondent of the Cologne Gazette had
this to say of Mr.. Greene:
THE newcomer, Mr. Plunket Greene,
showed qualities which proved that,
though Irish by extraction, he is one
of the stars which will henceforth
shine on the artistic horizon of Wagner
representation. Mr.. Plunket Greene IS
now, with Van Dyck and Blauwert, the
third foreigner who has been called
by Nine. Wagner to assist in the Dyck
and Bayreuth festival. His voice sounds
noble. smooth and full; he has been
nounces with carefulness which,
strange to say, few born German sing
ers ever seem to attain"
And now the rumor comes from New
York that Mr.. Greene is to go to Bay
reuth once more. Next year Cosima
Wagner expects to give Wagner's
tetralogy, which is composed of "Das
Rheingold, '"Die Walkure," "Siegfried"
and die Gotterdammerung She
has already engaged Jean and Edouard
de Reszka, the latter to sing Wotan. Mr..
Greene will be in the most distin-
guished company.
In view of the great number of must
cal attractions that have been booked
for this end of the season prices for
the Greene concert, which will be at
the Auditorium, Thursday evening.
May 8, will be at lower figures than
