Beef and reciprocity.

The recent worry and fret over the
beef situation could have been settled
in the twinkling of an eye il the Re-
ciprocity feature of the Mckinley law
had been incorporated in our present
nondescript Tariff act.
1t was the design of the friends of
Reciprocity to apply this principle SO
as to admit free, with compensating
benefits from other countries, such ar
ticles or things as were not produced
by ourselves in sufficient quantities for
the domestic consumption.
Under the Mckinley Reciprocity
clause in the act of 1890 the President
could at any time remove the duty
upon any article, and at the same time,
by treaty, enlarge our expectation of
such commodity as the country with
whom the reciprocal relation was es-
tablished should want.
/. In case of the possible inability OF
our own cattle raisers to supply the
domestic demand the exercise of such
powers by the Executive, did they ex-
ist. would be most effective. Sup
plies could be drawn from Argentina,
Mexico and Canada, and for the priyi-
lege extended to these countries privi-
leges would have been obtained in
return.

II Jesus Ran a Newspaper.

=
Rev. George L. Perrin, D. D., pas.
tor OF the Every Day Church of Bos-
ton, preached . most remarkable
sermon from the pulpit last Sunday.
morning, in which he told what sort
of newspaper Jesus would run If he
we're on earth and in the newspaper
business. DR.. Perrin is not wholly
disguised with the newspapers of the
present day, but he thinks they might
be improved upon by man like Jesus.
He did not say whether he thought
that any other person could improve
them materially.
He thought that Jesus would make
the model editor, but admitted, by
steering clear of the subject, that it
would be a good plan to keep him out
side of the business Office.
Jesus paper, he said, would be
fearless and independent. he would
run Sunday paper, but 1t would not
be filed with sporting and fashions.
It would contain some good Sunday
reading for persons who could not
get out to church to hear what the
minister had to say. II Jesus were an
editor, according to DR.. Perrin, he
would not send one OF the apostle-re-
porters out to interview woman
whose husband had just committed
suicide. He would not pry into private
affairs.

Statesmen as Whist
Zone of my boyhood reeollections, y
said Gen. Wade Hampton, refers to
Henry Clay. He was freqaent visi-
tor at my fathers house IN South
Carolina Both Clay and my father
were ardent whist players, and nothing
was more to their minds than the
collection of brace of gentlemen
equally addicted to whist, and then
the quartet would play for hours.
While the name of whist may serve to
imply game where silence reigned,
my father and Clay didn't play whist
that way. They exrlted sudibly over
a success, and did not hesitate when
they were playing partnersto violently
point out mistakes the other had made.
and attributed defeat to the others
ignorance and utter lack of natural
intelligence. Indeed, on occasions
particularly trying they were even
known to apply hard names to one
another. This they did in no sland-
erous spirit, but to brighten up and
sharpen the wits of the other to the
improvement of his play. As they
were sitting down to a game as part
ners one evening Clay remarked:
8 It's great outrage the way we
talk to each other, and my idea now,
at the outset, is for each of us to put
up $40 to belong to the one who is
first called hard names by the other.
II you assail me the money is mine;
if forget myself, you take If.
my father readily agreed. He felt
IN a mild, agreeable mood. He was
confident he would never again be a
prey to the slightest impulse to speak
harshly to his dearfriend Clay. And,
besides, it was his recollection that
Clay was the man who ragged and did
the loud talking. So my father cheer
fully placed the $40 on top of Clay's.
He thought it would be good lesson
to the Blue Grass orator to lose it.
AS they proceeded with the game Clay
made some excessively thick-headed
and ill-advised' plays. He led the
wrong cards; he trumped the wrong
tricks: he did everything idiotic in
whist that he well could. Ny fathers
blood began to boil. AS he and Clay
lost game after game his wrath ran
higher. Still he bit his lips and suf-
fered in silence. 1t went on for hours,
until Clay made some play of crown
ing imbecility which lost and my
father the eleventh game. Flesh and
blood could stand it no more. My
father sternly pushed the $40 over to
Clay.
(" Why, said Clay, opening his
gray eyes with look of innocence and
amazement, why do YOU do that?
You haven't said word. z
g No, retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most abject idiot, the most boundless
imbecile that ever dealt hand at
whist. Yes, sir; ] repeat it, you are
the - fool ever met in my life. :,

Bench OF the supreme Court Of
the United States
WASHINGTON, d. c., May q. -Tht
Supreme Court to-day declared the

Five OF shenine Justiceswere against
the Law to four for it. Those against
the law we're Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices Field, Gray, Brewer and
Shiras; for the law, Justices Harlan,
White, Brown and Jackson.
The conclusions Of the Court were as
follows:
/. We adhere to the opinion al
ready announced that taxes on real
estate, being indisputably direct taxes,
taxes on the rents or income Of real
estate are equally direct taxes.
2 We are of The opinion that taxes
on personal property or on the In
come OF personal property are like
wise direct taxes.
3. That the tax imposed by sections
q to 81 inclusive, gof the act of 1894,
so far as it falls on the income of real
estate and on personal property, be-
ing direct tax within the meaning OF
the constitution Is; therefore, uncon-
stitutional and void, because it is not
apportioned according to representa-
ton, and all those sections constitu-
ting one entire scheme of taxation are
necessaryily invalid.
The DEGREES herein before entered in
this court will be vacated. The DEGREES
below viii be reversed and the cases
remanded with instructions to grant
the relief prayed.
Sections q to 81 of the tariff act Of
1894, referred to in the conclusion Of
the court opinion are the sections Of
the act relating to the income tax SO
that the entire income tax law is de-
clared void spec1iicaiiy.

the river, and on either side facing it will
extend the seats, in the form of all amphi-
theater. making it possible for all to have
an unobstructed view. The seating capacity
at this point alone will accommodate 5000.
Opposite the Queens throne, on the east
ern bank, bandstand for sixty musicians
will be erected. Fountains capable of
throwing a spray 150 feet high will be on
each side of it, and the effect will be beau
tiful.
Over the throne and balcony there will
be canopy 1900 feet in length and 500 feet
wide, and under its folds 1000 electric lights
will shed their rays on the river. The arc
lights will be placed in such position that
there will be a row on each bank of the
river. The most marvellous part of this
illumination will be the connection of the
whole system with one general station
from which the general manager may be
able to command every current.
The music committee have been author
lied to engage the American Concert band
of forty pieces, and the Stereopticon and

stand for forty players will also be erected
on the lower plaza.

SAN JOSE HAPPENINGS,
A Sequel in Court to the Ro-
mantle Marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. ST. Clair.
Suit to Determine the Ownership Of
Trotter-Rough Methods of
aCharivari Party.

SAN JOSE. CAL, May 1S.-An attach
ment suit filed yesterday by Mrs. Alicia
st. Clair against her husband, H. T. st.
Clair, reopens romance of early days in
San Jose.
Some years ago Jonathan Lupton, the
owner of fine ranch in the Willows,
died, and his widow and several minor
children inherited the property. Some
time afterward H. F. ST. Clair appeared on
the scene. He secured work on the
widows ranch and then set industriously
at work to win her hand. Soon Mrs.
Lupton became Mrs. st. Clair.
Married life progressed smoothly, and
the trusting wife decided her share of the
estate to her husband. Then came the
storm. No sooner had the property come
into his possession than he sold portion
of it for $500, and with this sum in his
pocket left San Jose for tour of the State.
A woman accompanied him, but Mrs. st.
Clair was at home at the Willows.
st. Clair returned to San, ose last Friday
and, it is said, drew from the bank another
sum placed to his credit by the confiding
woman and again left for San Francisco.
Then came the expose, and following it
the attachment suit, wherein Mrs. st. Clair
hopes to secure possession of the little
property that remains. Now creditors OF
the reckless husband are taking hand in
the quarrel and filing attachment suits to
get what they can of the estate.

SANTA ROSA'S VENTURE.
1t Is Proposed to Hold q Carnival of
Roses Each Year in tho
Future.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 1S.-The un-
qualified success of the rose carnival here
this year has encouraged Santa Rosa peo-
pie to make the enterprise permanent
one. The matter of incorporating the Car
nival Association is being generally dis
cussed. The association already has 300
members, and it is the general desire
among them that the carnival become a
regular annual affair, and that big pa
vilion be erected for that purpose.
The directors of the association have
about settled up all matters connected with
the recent fete, and everything is in very
satisfactory shape. 1t is the belief among
the directors that three times as much
money can be raised for next years event
as was appropriated this year. and that
the carnival this year, great as it was, will
be greatly exeelled by that of 1896.

BUDD As GENERAL|SS|MO
He Will Be Commander of the
State Guard in Fact as
Well as in Name.
Speedily Eliminated From
the Militia.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 1s. Gov
ernor Budd does not expect to be able to
make his appointment of brigadier-gen-
erals of the First and Third Brigades until
the end of next week. On Monday he will
be in San Francisco to attend the funeral
of Ex-Governor Burnett, and on Wednes-
day he will be wrestling with the subject Of
the China basin lease to the San JOAQUIN
Valley Railroad. On June 1 he will visit
the Yosemite Valley to investigate its
management by the commissioners, and
there is not doubt that if anything wrong
should be found the bracing air of Yo,
semitic will be filled with flying fur.
The Governor and A. w. Barrett, the
newly appointed Adjutant-General. had a
long conference this morning on the sub.
ject of the reorganization of the militia oil
this State. The Governor intends to be
commander-in-chief of the States forces
in fact as we'll as in name, as his recent ac-
ton in issuing his orders direct to Major
General Dimond would indicate.
General Barrett will shortly introduce
some needed reforms whereby the feather.

eliminated from the militia. 1t is Gov
ernor Budd's desire that the militia of Cal.
ifornia shall be model for other States to

SANTA CRUZ WILL CASE,
David Collins Sues to Set Aside
His Wife'S Last Testa-
ment.
License Ordinance-Recept
to Mrs. Comstock.

q u. rs :
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, May 49, David
Collins of this city has begun will con-
test in San Francisco over his wife's estate.
Collins and his wife formerly Mary
Flentoff) were married here in January
last. In May she went to San Francisco,
where she died at the home of her cousins,
Ella and Lizzie McCloskey
When Mrs. Collins will was filed fol-
probate it was found that the husband had
only been left $50, while the Misses Nc
Closkey were bequeathed the bulk of the
estate, amounting to $4,000, including real
estate here, money in local banks and in
the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco.
One of the grounds of the contest, besides
undue influence, is that the San Francisco
courts have no jurisdiction in the probate
of the will, as the deceased was resident
of Santa Cruz County.

BOTTOM LANDS UNDER WATER
Ranch ers of the Valley VIII Lose
Heavily by the Damage to
Growing Crops.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 1S.-The levee
this side of Paradise cut broke to-day and
the water is pouring over wheat and grain
fields and flowing toward the Banta county
road. which will be impassable before to-
morrow morning. Some werkmen were
engaged in repairing the road when the
break occurred in the levee. AS soon as it
was reported they quit work, as the re-
pairs would be rendered useless by the
water.
The levee broke two and half miles
south of the San Joaquin bridge yester-
day afternoon, and 300 acres of barley be-
longing to Henry Fink and a large tract of
pasture land owned by G. w. Trahern were
inundated. The loss will be considerable,
but the exact amount is not known.
The Mokelumne River is higher now
than it has been for years, and the bot
tom land in the vicinity of Lockford is all
| under water.
1t is reported here that three miles of
| bulkhead which protects portion of the
Union Island levee from the wash of the
| water is being undermined. This bulk
head is near the Fish Camp, where the
erosion of the water is particularly great.
| The bulkhead cost several thousand dol
| lars. Whether the levee which it prot ects
will give way is not known.
1t is also reported that the strength Of
some of the leyee-work on Union Island
| is being tested by the water, which has
| splashed up so as to wet the top. ]. M.
| de Leon of Roberts Island, who is in town
| to-day, reports that at his place the levee
| has three feet to spare" the water being
| that much below the top.
| A special telephone message received
here this afternoon from the keeper of the
San Joaquin bridge shows that the water
is now at the 17.75-foot mark, or three
inches higher than it ever was before. 1t
has been at a standstill since last night.
