There is a growl along the press line
because Lord Salisburys reply to the
Presidents note of suggestion for the
arbitration of the Venezuelan boundary
question, is not at once turned over for
publication, now that it is in the hands
of Secretary Olney. Let the news
papers possess themselves in patience.
1t is neither seemly nor courteous to
print the reply until the President has
had time in plenty to consider it, and
possibly to consult with his Cabinet up
on the subject matter of the letter. 1t
is too much the disposition of the news
paper press to rush everything, regard
less of propriety, into print, fact, con-
lecture, rumor, doubt, suspicion, vag-
airy, or what not, and thus very often
defeat not only the ends of justice, but
the purpose of good government. The
absurd story has been put af1oat that
the President has gone to the sea coast
to avoid receiving the English note of
reply, and thus gain time for reflection.
1t is ridiculous in the extreme. The
passage in the recent message Of the
President relating to this very answer
and the matters it concerns, show that
he is not in any doubt about the proper
policy for this Government to pursue
in the Venezuelan case

WHO FOR 1896?
Placer Herald: The Sacramento
Record Union forecasts that Carlisle
viii be the Democratic and Mckinley
the Republican nominee in 1896" 1t
is not improbable. The Unions argu-
publican party is divided on the silver
issue, and the only device which it can
adopt to overlay that diSsension is to
make a high protective policy the para
mount issue of the campaign. 1t is also
sound when it says that Carlisle would
get the electoral vote of all the South
ern States, together with New York,
New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut.
This would leave the two parties an
equal chance of winning Indiana, Illi-
nois Wisconsin or the Pacific Slope.
Carlisle and Morrison, Carlisle and By
mum, Carlisle and Villas, or Carlisle and
SteveWhite would make a strong ticket
for the Democrats.
THE MESSAGE.
Colusa Sun: President Cleveland's
message has been read to both houses
of the Fifty fourth Congress. 1t is a
message, not to Republicans or Demo-
Gratis but to the American people. 1t
explains the whole situation and sug
gests the remedies. Coming from
source so unbiased, clear and patriotic,
from a President who has guided our
ship of state over dangerous shoals
and violent storms, it should have the
attention, the deep thought of every
true American citizen of whatever
party he represents. Party spirit
should be forgotten, and all should
consider this great question and give
the views of the President of the United
States their attention. He has proven
himself a leader whom it is at least safe
TO follow. This all will admit. And
the question now in this great financial
gale is the quickest shortest route
over the raging pillows into port of
safety. We are to be buffeted yet. We
are as it were in the Straits of Messina.
The one question is, Shall we trust to
the chosen pilot or to the self aggran-
dizing, irresponsible wreckers? 2"
TRADE WITH THE ORIENT.
Pasadena Star: California's trade
with the Orient seems to be gradually
absorbed by Washington, which is
shipping wheat that was formerly sent
by this State to the Chinese. Probably
our wheat days are largely over with
| the cutting up of the big ranches, but
we ought to haYe q fair equivalent In

pointment is Confirmed.
Ill luck seems to be the lot of United
States Minister Ransom, one trouble
following close upon the heels of the
other. Now, Mr.. Willie, acting audi
cor of the treasury for the state de-
partlnent, has decided that Mr.. Rah-
SONG salary as minister to Mexico
cannot be paid until he is confirmed
by the senate. He bases his decision
upon the law which reads:
Section 1716. No money shall be
paid from the treasury as salary to any
person appointed during the recess of
the senate to fill vacancy in any ex-
listing Office, if the vacancy existed
while the senate was in session, and
was by law required to be filled by
and with the advice and consent of the
senate until such appointee has been
confirmed by the senate.
The question of allowing him ex-
penros, etc., has not yet been taken
up. It is stated that Minister Ran
som himself raised the point whether
he could be paid prior to confirmation,
as he wanted to, know exactly where
he stood before he departed for Next
CO, that he might make the necessary
financial arrangements for his mainte'
nance. Congress will have to provide
for his salary between. July LIST, the
date it was held up, and the date when
he may be confirmed.

EARTH QUA K is

Shortly after 6. O'Clock Sunday
morning an earthquake shock was felt
at Coney Island The old Sea Beach
palace building rockedsto and fro for
a few seconds and windows were bro
ken. At the chute inclesure Captain
Paul Boynton says that the big struct-
ure shook, and the glass in the win
dowsof his Office was ratified so it
cracked in several places. At the ORR
entail, Manhattan and Brighton Beach
hotels the big buildings also got good
shaking, and several guests got out of
bed and rushed to the windows to see
what the trouble was.
A distinctly perceptible earthquake
shock was felt at Philadelphia. Ths
vibration did not last longer than q
second or so, but it was severe enough
to awaken people from sleep. The
direction was from southeast to north
west.
At High Bridge, N. j., the shock was
felt at the same hour, and from repcrt IS
received it appears to have been felt
all through Hunterdon county. Build
ings rocked, beds were shaken, rudely
arousing people who had not yet risen,
and in number of houses articles fell
from shelves, much to the alarm of
nervous people,
Other places reporting are North

The earthquake was not noticed at
Washington. The delicate seismic re-
corders at the naval observatory did
not indicate the slightest distur bance.

HEIRS TO A FORTUNE.
General Hollis VIII Sent Through the
Mails to the Register of wills.


What purports to be the last will
Of the late General Joseph Holt, of
Kentucky, who died over a year ago,
was made public at Washington Mon
day in a sensational manner. In the
mail delivered to the Office of the reg
lister of wills on Saturday were two or
three envelopes which were not open
ed until Monday morning by Colonel
Wright, the register. Among them
was one addressed, in crude letters
printed in ink, which when opened
was found to contain half-sheet of
foolscap paper, the left end of which
was burned. but not enough to make
the writing tilIegible. Several small
holes were bSrned in tho sides anil CEN
teriof the SHEET, but scRrcely word
vas eliminated. The text of the Qoeu.
ment was as follows:
'I do hereby devise end bequeath all
OF my property, both personal and real,
to Lizzie Hynds, cousin of my first
wife, and to Josephine Holt Throck-
morton, who is my 'godchild, and to
their heirs and assigns forever. I do
hereby direct that at my death all of
my property be divided equally be-
tween them.
''Lizzie Hynds is to inherit hers at
my death; Josephine at the age of
twenty. one. Her father, Major Charles
b. Throckmorton, will hold her share

woman's suffrage question, holding
that only male citizens are entitled to
vote on the adoption or rejection of

TROOPS AT THE MINES.
To Protect Men Taking the Places Of
Strikers.


A hundred and half of state sold
iers are encamped in the vicinity of
the Lake Angelina mine, at Ishphem-
ing, Mich, where the steam shovels
are to be operated by men who have
been brought from Chicago to take the
places of the strikers. The mining
companies are determined. to begin
the movement of the ore after a
months idleness, and Governor Rich
has dispatched Six companies of the
Fifth regiment of infantry to the
scene for the purpose of affording all
the protection which the sheriff and
the owners of the great mines may
need to keep the peace and resume
business. The thousand odd strikers,
skilled miners, laborers, trimmers and
steam shovel men who have been re-
duced to desperate straits by their
idleness and the prospect of seeing
other men fill their places, threaten to
prevent the operation of the shorels
and the situation is alarming.
