ronized by up-to.date boys of that suburb,
with profit to themselves but dead loss to
the owners of the machines. The owners

this improbable transaction by an in

ago. The boys procure quantity of lead,
which they mold into pals, and then fiat
ten them out by placing them on the troll

avenues. The next operation is to trim
these smooth lead pieces the size of five
cent coins, after which they are ready to
perform the service required of them.

LET HER COME IN.

If reports are true Newfoundland
wants to be annexed to the United
Statee. We say let her come in. The
fisheries, question has been bone OF
contention between this country and
Great Britain ever since we became an
independent nation. The annexation Of
Newfoundland will settle the question
forever. Why not annex all British
America? We hardly go to the extent
OF the sentiment written by Jonathan
Sewel:
mo pent up Utica controls our powers,
The boundless continent is ours"
But we have no objection to taking in
all this side of the North Pole. The
British American people are mainly OF
our race, and their institutions are not
90 disssimilsr that homogeneity will not
speedily be produced. The invis-
ible boundary line between this
country and British America is
the source OF great smount OF trouble
and expense to both countries. 1t
makes it necessary to keep up a sur
veillance to prevent customs laws from
being violated. Union of the two ooun.
tries on fair terms would be advan.
tageous to both. A government like
ours is sufficiently strong and elastic for
a continent. Great Britain is of little
use to the Csnadas, and they are Of no
value to Great Britain. They pay no
taxes to support the home government,
and they make laws pretty much to
suit themselves. We have been annex
ing the people of some Of the provinces
with'considsrable rapidity through EN-
igrstion to this country, aud they make
good eitizsne. Many Americans. or the
descendants OF Americans, are in thu
Canadas. The two peoples have inter
married and their commercial interests
are interviewer. Let annexation take
place by mutual consent. Great Britain
will interpose no obstacle TO the act if
British America wants to come in.

leo and Guatemala would have the ef-
feet to bring all the Central American
states together, aud it may result IN
permanent union. 1t was the Franco
Prassian war that enabled Bismarck to
effect a union OF the German States
and to create the German Empire. The
union of the Csntral American states
would be better for each state individu'
ally, but the tendency in Spanish
American countries to revolution is 80
great that to preserve she union will be
a work OF no little difficulty, whether
the coalition against Mexico is succsss-
full or unsuccessful In the war.
Another matter OF interest ia as to the
effect such war will have upon Mex.
leo. That country has been more peace
full under Disz than under any ruler
since she became freed from Spanish
dominion. President Diaz seems to
have the ability and skill to deal with
the Mexican people more successfully
than any Of HIS predecessors. His
first term was more turbulent
than any OF his succeeding ones. There
have been frequent outbreaks OF not
large proportions and which he mas been
able to suppress without great diff Guilty.
During his career as president ne has
never been prom ounced against. In
case OF severe war with the Central
American states the question is whether
some ambitious chief will not pro-
nouncs. Such thing would have been
certain to occur forty or fifty years ago.
Suppression OF disorders is easier in
that country since it has been pene-
trsted by railroads. They are organi-
zers as we'll ss conservative in their in
huencs. Americans desire the welfare
of all the prospective belligerents. They
are continental nsighbors and republics.
Their growth and prosperity will enlarge
our trade with them, and, il wise policy
prevails, a trade that will be mutually
advantageous.

The Mexican burros ascertain where to dig
for water by closely observing the surface OF

water to make coffee, when we observed three
burros searching for water. They passed sew
eral damp p aces, examining the ground close
ly when the IL ader halted near us and COM
menced to paw hole in the dry, hot sand with
his right fore foot. After awhile he used his
left fore foot. Having dug a hole something
over a foot in depth, he backed out and
watched it intenlly. 10 our surprise, it soon
commenced to fill with water. Then he ad-
vanced and took a drink and stepped aside, in
viting think, the Others to take a drink: at
all events, they promptly did so and then went
away, when we got down and took Il drink from

VERSY.

The dispute between the two conn tries
is over boundary, and consequently
the question is one not OF interest to
other nations. Outside people do not
care to take the trouble to consider the
subject. There are some features, how.
ever, OF more than local interest.
The Central American states are, sep.
arately, small in population and weak

inhabited by the same kind OF people.
those who speak the same language,
profess the same religion, and whose
careers have been similar. In social
and political institutions the states are
substantially alike. These conditions
render union of their people under one
government natural and feasible. The
subject of uniting Costa RIGA, Guste-
mala, Nicaragua and San Salvador I'M
der one government has been suggested
and discussed for several years. The
ambition OF leaders has kept them
apart. There have been too many who
prefer to rule little state than to hold
subordinate positions in a greater coun-
try. 80 long as these states remain
separate there can be four presidents,
but united there can be bat one.

of Importance.
POMONA, Jan, 31.-At no time in seven years,
or since the boom of 1887 burst, has there leen
such extensive building operations in this
hIace as at present. For the good OF local COM
mercial prosperity there has be.n good-na-
tured and Jealous rivalry between the public
improvements in the eastern and the western
ends of Pomona. For year or two the east
enders. as they style themselves, have been
pushing things in their locality.
Inst now there is something like 10000
worth of street i'm provements and buildings in
course of construction and being planned for
the locality OF Second street and Carey avenue.
AS soon as the winter rains are over another
block of Stores to cost over $4,000 will be
erected there
But this week comes the announcement that
a syndicate of west-enders has been formed for
the purpose of doing some extensive building
in the locality of Second and Ellen streets. Mr..
r. F. House is at the head of the syndicate and
has done the planning. The handsomest COM
nercial structure in Pomona will he erected
nv the syndicate. 1t will cost over $4,000,
and perhaps $4,000. 1t will have six store
rooms on the first floor and the second and
third floors will be used as an armory and drill
hall by Company D, N. G. c. of this place. An
architect is employed upon the plans for the
structure. and it is the intention to push the
work upon it as soon as tina weather becomes
settled
