It turns out that ex-senator Bucks
al1bi Is complete. Captain Lees should
be punished for SANDER for the insinua-
tons against the Senator.
LAUNDERING STUPIDITY.
Oakland Times.l
The Californian says that it is pity
that Durrant is still in Jail. If he were
free the police would unQuestionably &C.
cuse him of the murder of Miss Harring-
ton. Never has the laundering stupidity
of the alleged detectives of san Francisco
been shown to better or worse advantage
than in this crime. Yet they are COM
pletely at sea, and probably will remain
so. The chances are that they will finally
evolve theory of some kind and arrest
some innocent man or woman, and then
bend every effort to convict him.
ELECTRIC CARNIVAL.
lOroville Register.
The people of Sacramento are discuss
ing the idea of an electric carnival during
the State Fair. We hope this carnival
will be pushed to a success, for there is
nothing more needed than more light
thrown on electricity. Every farmer,
business man and housewife ought 10 see
for themselves the manifold uses TO which
electricity can be put. 1t Will lift, pull,
push, hammer, grind or cut. 1t can be
used in the kitchen to bake or boil, to
heat water and warm and light the room.
1t viii run the sewing machine or drive
the quartz mill. 1t will do all steam,
water or wind can do. 1t is used by the
surgeon in a hundred ways to alleviate
pain and hasten surgical operation. 1t
makes the deepest mine as light as day,
and penetrates the water to a great depth.
Let the people of Sacramento show us
the manifold uses to which electricity
can be put. 1t can be used TO give
gorgeous pageant. and to illustrate its
adaptation to a hundred purposes in the
house, mill and office, and upon the ship
or farm. We hope the carnival will be
given, for the electrical devices there
shown will be a grand attraction to all
classes of people.
IMPROVING.
Alameda Telegram.
The financial, commercial and indus
trial situation is constantly improving.
The few pessimists who have all along
claimed that the reaction WAS not SUBJ
stantial enough to last are now forced to
acknowledge that there is certainly no
evidence of weakness anywhere visible,
butt reality more encouraging out
look than ever before. There is hardly
day passes now but that the favorable
record is made still more marked by
some industry showing decidedly for
word movement, both in activity of pro-
duction and advanced prices for staple
lines. BY the general increase III wages
there is less dissatisfaction and trouble
among labor circles than for q long time
past, while the present fair remuneration
and probable advance as prospects
brighten is doing much to restore the en-
ployer and employed. In the financial
world securities are constantly being bet
ter rated, and those acknowledged as
good cannot be repurchased except at
considerably higher quotations.
RACE PROGRESS.
Humboldt Stan dard.
The progress made by race of slaves
whose forefatherS were African cannibalS
will surprise those who visit their exhibit
ton at Atlanta. While they are, as race,
inferior tOgthe whites, and always must
remain 50, they are capable of great
achievements, and will keep close COM
pany with their Caucasian neighbors in
the line Of progress.
BICYCLE VS.. HORSE.
[Salt Lake Tribune.I
And now experts begin to whisper that
it is cheaper to keep horse than to keep
bicycles in repair. Furthermore that the
life of bicycle is only two years at best,
whereas the life of a horse, carefully
handled, is liable to do good service for
at least ten years.
In the face of these facts it seems that
two things must happen pretty soon
the price Of the bicycle will be reduced,
and it will be made of stronger material.
Otherwise the people will return to the
horse.
There is no pleasanter occupation than
riding or driving good horse. 1t is
hard TO talk to bicycle as friend. 1t is
easy to talk to a good horse as both
friend and partner, and the society of
good horse is worth more any time than
the society of a bad man. But the horse
just now is discounted, yet since the be-
ginning, the nations which nave ruled
the world have been the nations which
could handle horses best and which have
been careful to cultivate the best breeds

The Democratic party seems bent on

are those in the party who think that not

tons that may not be settled in a single
campaign. The silver question must be
settled shortly because the country cam

CULTIVATION OF FRUIT.
Seattle Intelligencer.l
In the cultivation of orchards and in
the growing of fruit the people OF Cali
fornin and Utah have probably had more
practical experience than any others on
the Pacific Coast, with the exception, per-
haps, OF those OF Oregon, who made the
red apple of that State proverbial. Now
that their orchards are in bearing to the
full, they are enabled by their ex perience
to impart great deal of valuable in
formation to the younger communities,
and this they arc doing in a sensible and
impartial way. Their advice is to begin
in a small way and not oyerreach the
mark nor the purse. To insure success,
they say don't plant over ten acres. The
man who plants big orchard, unless be
be rich man, must run in debt before
his trees come into bearing, and then it is
continual struggle until the orchards
and improvements are paid Tor. The
man who plants five or ten acres can hold
his own, because ne Is not compelled to
hire his help, and therefore helps him.
