The colony idea is the best of all schemes
for the settlement of a new State if it is
properly handled. In order that foreigners
may find contentment under the strange
conditions which they will encounter it is
advisable that they settle colony in a
body, SO that they may enjoy the social
customs of their old homes. The indis-
criminate bringing together of settlers
from all parts of the world into close
community has proved one of the most
disastrous of ventures. We may depend
upon time to make thorough Americans
of foreign colonists. The second gener-
alton, having access to our public schools,
solve that problem. The first essential is
the content and happiness of the original
settler.
Mr.. Easton gives the encouraging infor-
nation that British capital regards Cali
fornia as the best ground for investment.
This has already been shown in the readi-
ness with which English capitalists are
investing in California gold mines. 1t is
extremely vital to California to secure all
the English capital possible. This would
counteract in measure the English infiu-
ence which works against California and
IN favor. of the British possessions on our
north. California is the natural highway
between the Australian olonies and
England, and it is to our interest to make
the most of the opportunity.

IDEAS OF WESTERN EDITORS.

The mining resources of Arizona are to-day
unknown to the world. A few years hence,
when capital has generally turned its atten-
ton to the development of our mineral re-
sources, there will be such an output of the
precious metals as the world never saw before
from so limited an area. This Territory has
the capacity to-day to excel the whole outside
world i'll her gold, silver and copper products.
Phoenix (Ariz.) Herald.
The wretchedness of most people is caused
by the fact that they prefer appearance to
reality and reputation to character. They
suffer because they refuse to accept response
bility, they wish to reap without sowing, an
thus easily become the victims of every oily
tongued impostor who prevails over them be-
cause OF their dishonesty.-Living Issues.
Claus Spreckels has made his millions in
sugar, but NOBODY will complain Of that while
he uses his wealth III developing the industries
of this State. The millionaire is among the
most useful of men If his wealth is invested in
beneficial enterprises and is not used to op-
press his fellow-men.-Fresno Republican.
They who think the prosperity of the coun-
try is measured and approved by the increased
import of commodities which hitherto we have
been accustomed to produce ourselves cannot
but consider Democratic policy fully vindi-
Gated and just the thing for the country
Portland Oregonian.
California is working for all she is worth for
the next Republican National Convention.
Washington and Oregon ought to lend their
active cooperation. The holding of that con-
vention ON the coast would be d good thing for
the coast and good thing for the whole coun-
try.-Seattle Times.
All that the Republican journals will have
to do next year to get all the good ammunition
they want will be to take file of any Demo-
cratic paper of the present season. - Albu-

The time for doing 800 worth of assessment
work on mines yearly has not been changed,
but the time suspending the operation of the
full force. That requires that the 800 worth
of work on q claim shall be done ct any time
during the calendar year, and in cases of new
locations, at any time within the year from the
time OF the location.
FANCY CHIcKENs-L. NJ R., City. 1t is prob
able that your fancy chickens are affected
with roup, result of being kept too long in
confined air. This disease is an infectious one,
and as rule poultry-raisers as soon as they
discover q chicken with that disease Kill
it and bury it in quicklime. There are num-
Der of remedies published in books on poultry
raising, which may be had at the Free Public
Library.
THE FoUR-YEAR TERMS. A, j., City. There
is no case on appeal in the Supreme Court of
this State in which the constitutionality of the
law under which county officials were at the
last general election elected for four years, in
stead of for two years, as previously. The time
for contesting the law, if it is to be contested,
has not yet arrived.

A BETTER PAVEMENT.

The Merchants Association is to be con-
graduated on its success in securing the
unanimous consent of the property-own-
ers along Montgomery street to pave that
thoroughfare with bituminous rock. All
that remains now is to get the consent of
the street railway company to pave its part
of the highway. 1t is likely that this will
be granted, but as the present horsecar
service is to be changed to an electric line
the company may defer action until the
change is made, which will require the
laying of new road.
The new pavement should not be con-
fined to that part of Montgomery street
lying between Market and California
streets, as was the case on Kearny street.
North of California street there are very
valuable improvements on Montgomery,
including the handsome insurance build
ing at the corner of Sacramento street.
The steady decline of real and rental
values north of California street has re-
suited from causes of a nature similar to
the neglect of the street pavement. The
paving of Montgomery street is a neces-
sary step toward curing all the ills that
aflict that quarter of the City. The fact
that values have declined in that section
in spite of the great benefit which the
M ontgomery- cable might have
been expected to bring ought long ago
to have been sufficient notice to the prop
erty-owners that radical fault lay in the
handling Of their properties.
With better pavement and an improved
streetcar service Montgomery street ought
to recover its old prestige. The decline of
the brokerage business has had something
to do with the retrogression of the street,
but there are other kinds of business for
which If mipht mako hid

JUSTICE BROWNS WARNING.

Among the numerous addresses by dis
tinguished men, called forth by college COM
mencements and similar occasions each year,
some one is apt to excite thought and comment
beyond the original locality of its delivery.
This year the most striking was that of Justice
Henry B. Brown of the United States Supreme
Court, delivered before the Law School of Yale
University. 1t treated of the dangers threaten
ing the stability of our Government and of the
tendencies of our social system. The country
is threatened chiefly from three directions:
Municipal misgovernment, corporate greed
and the tyranny of labor. This warning voice
from representative of our most august
tribunal has called forth approving comment
from the best opponents of public opinion.
1t needs to be more widely read and
pondered over by the highest and lowest in
the land. The great social questions of the
time have been before the Supreme Court
within few years past with a rapidity that
surprised lawyers as well as laymen. The
court, which has been overburdened with
legitimate business and has been reproaohed
at times with its delay of justice, has in every
way expedited the cases plainly involving the
interests OF the whole people or of large Sec
lions. these questions have been various and
have attested the widening jurisdiction of the
courts of the Nation. 1t should be remembered
that justice Brown upheld strenuously the in
come tax in the recent cases before the Su-
preme Court. After the outlook afforded by
his, judicial experience his rebukes OF
evil tendencies in the social system have
double enc Dhasis. 1t is to be hoped
that thoughtful, educated men may be
aroused TO their duty to the community by
clear statement from an acknowledgements.
What must the man of leisure, refinement.
education, do for the rescue of his city, his
State, the whole Nation from misgovernment?
What is the limit of his duty in regard to the
corporations which minister TO his wealth?
What is his interest in the laboring man with
whom he shares the common country? What
IS the remedy for fragrant evils? Justice Brown
thinks arbitration and proft-sharing have not
proved themselves eficacious in behalf of the
needs OF labor. He believes that the Govern
ment must eventually take control of natural
monopolies.-P American.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Frederick soler, the creator of the modern
Catalan Theater, died recently at Barcelona at
the age OF 81. He wrote over 100 plays, almost
all based on Catalan popular life and history,
and had been crowned by the Spanish Acad-
envy.
Gladstone, in expressing an opinion on
recent book, said that while he was personally
grateful to science for all that it had done and
was doing, Christianity stood in no need of 1T
and was as able now as ever to hold its own
ground.
Mile. Jeanne Benaken, licentiate In philos-
ophy at Paris, took her bachelors degree at the
age of 16-almost an unprecedented feat in
European universities.
Lord Rosebery is said to be greatly improved
in health from his recent yachting trip.

Wheelmen as Voters.

The great boom which cycling has taken this
year will make the "wheelmen's vote'' of con-
siderable Importance during the coming cam
paign. Shrewd politicians will not let the op-
portunity pass without making bid for votes
by offering improved highways and concessions
for which the wheelman has been pining for
years. To the wheelman is largely due the
credit of starting the present effort which is
being made to get better highways. Before
the advent of the bicycle very little was done
in the way of improved roads which were
worthy of the name The League of American
Wheelmen has exerted powerful influence in
this direction, as they have in their ranks pro-
fessional men, merchants and bankers and
enterprising people who know what they want
and mean to have it,-Sclentific American.

Honest Dollar,

It is a singular and very suggestive fact that,
according to Shylock, a dollar may be down so
per cent below par, but it is never worth more
than 100 cents. The creditor never boasts that
his gold dollar is worthl130 cents, but he can
protest Justify against being paid in so or go
cent dollars. We are friends of honest money
and hence we demand the full restoration of
the silver dollar. The gold dollar is not an
honest dollar when 1t commands premium of
40 cents, more or less.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

preferable on shipboard to the Anticipated life

room.
Another novelty invented by De Ropp is his
provision for an accident happening at night.
He provides second cartridge filled with
phosphate of calcium. An automatic release
opens the two ends of this cartridge when
saturated with water and releases the chem
ical, which on contact with water will decom-
pose and generate PHOSPHORUS hydrogen,

displayed lack of the business shrewd-
ness that enables Eastern manufacturers
to defeat them on their own ground, and
the leading spirits of the Manufacturers

this fault, are wisely endeavoring to cor
