A VETERAN JOURNALIST GONE.

The news flashed over the State yester-
day morning that J. J. Owen, the aged
Journalist, had suddenly met his death in
this city. The cause of Mr.. Ovens taking
off was a stroke of paralysis, of which dur
ing his later years he has had several
warnings This sudden termination of
Mr.. Ovens long and useful life, has
given a shock of pain and sorrow to
the hearts of many who for the past
third of a century have known and es-
teemed him as a man, as citizen and
especially as part of the history OF Jour
nalism on the Pacific Coast
In his personality Mr.. Owen was a
most charming conversationalist and
companion. He possessed the magnetic
quality of attracting and entertaining
people, and this gave him hosts of
friends wherever he went. As a writer,
his charm of manner was translated
into felicity of style which caused
his words to have power in aid of what
ever cause he put them forth. AS citizen
Mr.. Owen was more notable for his public
spirit than for his devotion to selfish inter
ests, and like many another editor his pen
and voice made more for the public veal
than for his private purse.
The county of Santa Clara, within
which the main energies of Mr.. Ovens
busy life were exercised, has many
substantial reasons to remember him
with kindness and gratitude. The
great electric tower which, like a new CO.
lossus, bestrides the widest thoroughfares
of San Jose and sheds its nightly radiance
tho rrroo& rra1laxr g I -
ument and surely no man could ask a
filter one. The San Jose Mercury is his
creation and was his pride during the most
active years OF his life, and, while its own
ership, as age came on, vested in younger
hands, he remained its San Francisco cor
respondent to the day of his death.
The editor of this journal was Mr.. Ovens
pupil for years in the science and art of
journalism, and from his acquaintance and
instruction gained much that has served
him well in later ventures. There are not
a few of the editors and journalists
of California who can give similar testi-
mony and who, now that the pen has
dropped suddenly from his stricken hand
and the pitcher is broken at the fountain,
will join with US in laying upon his lifeless
breast, a wreath of cypress and of anna
ranth.
One of the strongest convictions of J.
]. Ovens nature was faith in the i'm
mortality of the spirit of man, and if he
had been permitted to choose his mode of
departure to the summer land of souls, of
which he wrote SO beautifully and so often,
he would have said to his life:
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time
Say not goodnight, but in some
brighter cline,
Bid me good-morning.

oAsIMIR-PBRIBR's RESIGNATION.

The announcement of the resignation by
Casimir-P erier of the Presidency OF the
French Republic, following the defeat of
the Dupuy Ministry, will add to the diff
Guilty which the average American has OF
understanding either French politics or
French politicians.
What Malherbe said of roses may be
said of French unsatisfactory last but
a day. NJ. Dupuy had only been few
months in power. The measure upou
which he was defeated was as unimportant
as the majority against him was small. 1t
was question whether national guaran-
tee given to an issue of railroad bonds was
for term of years or was perpetual. The
Government held that it was perpetual;
the Chamber, by majority OF five, voted
that it expired in 1914, and on this NJ.
Dupuy and his colleagues resigned. An ad-
ministration in this country which should
desert its post on SO trivial matter would
be regarded as trifing with the people, and
yet in France, it is not the Ministry only
that has gone out, but the President him.
self.
The explanation of the Presidents action
is to be sought in the fact that under the
railroad question lies the antagonism be-
tween conservative Republicanism and
radical Republicanism- is a real and
live issue. M. Casimir-P erier was elected
to the Presidency as a conservative Repub-
ican. Indeed the traditions of his family
forbid him being anything else, and his
anti-radical views are well known. 1t has
been said many times of late by those who
are supposed to represent his opinions that
he would never consent to preside over a
Radical or Socialist Government, but
would resign or appeal to the country by
the dissolution of the Chamber rather than
carry out a socialistic programme.
From his well-known strength of charac-
ter it was thought that he would try the
expedient of an appeal to the country before
yielding to his opponents, but he has seen
tit to act otherwise, and American judg
ment upon his course will have to be with
held until fuller information has been re-
ceived concerning the nature of the forces
that surrounded him in the crisis which he
has solved or complicated by his resigna-
ton.

THE PRECIOUS METAL CROP.

President ]. J. Valentines annual report
of the yield of the precious metals in the
States and Territories west of the Missouri
River for the year 1894 shows an aggregate
output of sos, 113, 489. Of this aggregate
$45, 1872 COS was in gold and only $2S, 721, Ola
in silver, showing that gold has taken the
place which silver occupied ten years ago.
In this valuation the silver ounce is reck-
oned at 60 cents in gold. This year the
disparity between the two crops is likely
to be still further marked. Colorado's gold
output is steadily increasing, while her sill
yer output is on the decrease, and while
the silver output of this State is stationary
that of gold is swelling
The first place among the notwithstanding
States and Territories west of the Missouri
Is occupied by Montana, the second by
Colorado, the third by California. Mon
tana owes her pre-eminence to her copper
mines, whose output, at 10 cents pound,
foots up very large sum indeed. Colo
RADIO and California each yield about twelve
millions in gold, but Colorado produces
fourteen millions of silver from the lead
carbonates, while our silver crop from the
sulphurets and the quartz ores is under two
millions. Utah and Arizona, which used to
be reckoned as producing about seven mil
lions each, almost all silver, still yield about
the same amount. So with Mexico, where
the silver-mining industry continues to
flourish; for every dollar in gold produced
in the neighboring republic thirty dollars
in silver are brought to the surface.
1t seems plain enough that the diminish
ing product of silver and the increasing
product of gold must lead to a readiust1
ment of the relative values of the two
metals. But it takes long time to re-
verse a commercial current when it has
once set in. As a commercial proposition
purchases of the silver ounce at 63 cents
in gold are dead sure to yield profit, but
no one can tell how long the markets will
take to realize the cheapness of the white
metal and the buyer may wear out his
purse and his patience in waiting. II took
fully ten years for the general markets to
respond to the additions of gold made to
the worlds supply by California and Aus
traIia in the decade 1650-60.
Another anomaly of the present situation

THE WAY TO BEGIN.

1t cannot be doubted that the popular
demand for economy in the State govern
ment, should be promptly acceded to by
the Legislature and begun at once; nor
can it be denied that the earliest and the
easiest way by which that beginning can
be made, is for each branch of the Legisla-
ture to practice the strictest retrenchment
in the expenditures of its own house.
There has been great waste in that di-
rection in past years. The payroll of the
attaches of each house has exceeded the
payroll of the members of the house itself,
and in the aggregate has constituted bur-
den upon the taxpayers, which was doubly
aggravating, inasmuch as it was not only
felt to be heavy, but was known to be ex-
travagance carried to the verge of public
plumber.
The people have great expectations of
the present Legislature, and look with con-
tidence to the leaders of both houses to see
that their expectations are fulfilled. No
member of either house can be ignorant of
the fact that it viii greatly strengthen his
efforts for reform III other directions, if he
begins at home, as it were, and assists in
putting the expenditures of his own house
upon basis of practical economy and
good business.
There is no need of large number of
the regiment of secretaries, clerks and as
sistants of one kind or another, that former
Legislatures have put upon the payrolls of
the State in order to crafty the greed of
bosses seeking to reward their henchmen
at the expense of the people. This year
the political atmosphere is singularly
free from boss influence. The old babble
of sack and Doodle that was so offensive to
every honest and patriotic Californian has
almost ceased. The people feel that bet
ter condition of things has come and they
are now looking for leaders whom good
men can follow and support. The time is
propitious, therefore, for any legislator
who has true leadership in him to come
forward. The issue before him is to pro-
vide for retrenchment in legislative ex-
penditures, and the time to begin is right
now.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Several years ago took trip to Fresno
County for prospecting purposes" said l.. G.
Sanford capitalist of st. Joe, Mo-, at the Pal
ace, yesterday. "I had heard a good deal about
the existence of turquoise mines in that local
ity, and as know something about the gems
concluded to look over the territory myself. I
stopped over in Fresno for a couple of days, and
while waiting for the opening of mail in
the postoffice one day incidentally stated the
object of my visit to gentleman with
whom had engaged in conversation. Come
down to my room, want to show you some
thing said we, and off we went Arriving
there he opened his trunk and brought forth q
little box, from which he extracted half dozen
or more OF what thought to be as fine speci-
mems of turquoise as had ever seen. Their
color appeared perfect and the gentleman sur
prised me by stating that he was negotiating
for piece of land upon which the gems were
to be found in practically unlimited quaint
ties. He offered to let me in on the deal and
made me present on the spot of two of the
finest gems, which was satisfied were worth
at least $500. l left 500 in the hands of my
new acquaintance and went down to Los Ange-
les to await the results of the secretly con-
cIuded purchase. / took my two specimens to
prominent jewelers., who said at once that
they were pure turquoise, and derived much
pleasure in showing them to my friends. I
in my trunk, and one morning took them out
for examination and found to my surprise that
their brilliant coloring had gone and they were
as lusterless as a piece of unpublished marble.
1 hastily looked up my ieweler, who was una
BILE to offer any explanation aside from the fact
that the turquoise is noted for its unstable
qualities in this respect, and a trip back to
Fresno failed to divulge the whereabouts of my
temporary partner. Turquoise mining has since
that time possessed no attractions for me-"
"The man who owns prune orchard in Cali

mercial man from Omaha, at the Palace yes
terday. 81 was in Porteryille not long since
when resident named George Frost sold six
teen tons of dried prunes, which had been pro-
duced on six acres, for $500. I understand
that this sum showed a net profit to Mr.. Frost
OF over $1,000. AS this is an income of over
$500 per acre and the land is probably worth
but little more, it would seem that it paid for
itself in one season at that rate'

to a rival interest and the two brothers were
