SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

No national political convention has ever
been held west of the Rocky Mountains. The
cities that have been thus honored, or dishon-
ored, are: Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati
Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Cleveland, Harrisburg
Warsaw, Albany, Buffalo, Pittsburg, New York,
Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis and Omaha
The great West should be recognized. One, if
not all, of the coming national conventions be-
long to San Francisco.-San Jose Mercury.
The people of the West, without regard to
party, will hope that the Reilly bill will be re-
turned to the House of Representatives only to
meet second Waterloo. The Congressman
knew very well on what they were voting the
first time, and it is hard to conceive what could
have changed their opinions within the last
week or two.-Fresno Republican.
1t is certainly time that the politicians
looked beyond the Mississippi and even the
Rockies when searching for places in which to
hold the national conventions. San Francisco
is an excellent place for that purpose, and we
are perfectly willing to let it have the Republic
can convention if Stockton is chosen by the
Democrats.-Stockton Mail.
There are now over 5O7 900 600 of silver
dollars in the treasury belonging to the Gov

bills before Congress to authorize the Treas

Pledges of reform and economy do not seem
to be binding on California Assem- blymen
Their refusal to dismiss the unnecessary at
taches shows a total lack of faith on the part
of those who voted to retain them.--Stockton
Independent.
The suggestion that the military drill should
be introduced into the public schools is not
without its merits. Neatness, carefIlness, pre-
cision, discipline and patriotism are worth cul-
tivating.-Santa Cruz Record.
An Eastern exchange thinks that Congress
can trust the people. No doubt about that.
The burning, pulsing, throbblng question now
before the people is, "Can the people trust Con-
gressg'-Ph9nix Gazette.
1t is neither gold nor silver that pays the
money we owe foreign nations for imports or

pay every dollar.--Winnemucca Silver State.

THE EX-QUEEN's TRIAL,

1t is evident that there will be great
deal of conflicting testimony in the trial of
the ex-Queen, Liliuokolani. The Govern
ment officials who are trying her on
charges Of misprision of treason rely, at
least in part, on a diary which they saw
she kept and which is now in their posses
sion. According to this document. she
was fully apprised of the conspiracy and
aided and abetted it, without taking an
active part. On the other hand, when her
examination was concluded, she filed with
the court written statement, in which
she says:
last month was absolutely commenced without

CHOCOLATE AND COCOA.
Something About the Way Each Il
Prepared.

Prepared.
The difference between chocolate and
cocoa is simply that cocoa is chocolate
from which the oil has been extracted.
AS half of the cocoa bean is cocoa butter,
the difference is considerable. Cocoa but
ter is used by confectioners, and the demand
for it so far exceeds the supply in this
country that over 1000 tons of cocoa butter
were imported last year. It is the cocoa
butter which gives the gloss to the sweet
chocolate cakes sold for eating, for sweet
chocolate is nothing but mixture of cho-
colate, cocoa butter and sugar, either with
or without some favoring extract such as
vanilla. To make cocoa for drinking pur-
poses the cocoa butter must be extracted.
This is done in various ways, by pressure,
filtration or some chemical process. In the
Chicago works the chocolate is taken from
the grinder and placed in little canvas bags
and then put in a hydraulic press, where a
pressure of seventy tons drives the oil out
of the chocolate and leaves the cocoa in
solid, dry, oilless Jumps, which are broken
with mallet and taken away to be ground
wanted for drinking purposes it is ground
into four-like substance and packed in
tin boxes. flor eating or confectioners, it
is mixed with the flavoring compounds in
a mixing-mill after the sugar and flavor
have been first thoroughly Incorporated
with the cocoa by passing the whole mix
ture through rolls.
The secret of making chocolate and
cocoa-for each maker has his weli-guarded
secrets in the blending of several varie-
ties of cocoa beans. Not less than three
kinds and up to half dozen varieties are
mixed or blended at some stage of the pro-
cess, and here again a trade secret is
guarded, for some makers mix before and
others after grinding, and still others at
places In the making. 1t is this blending
which makes good or bad cocoa according
to the taste of the man who is drinking it.
In the blending the cocoa-maker shows his
art, and he keeps the formula locked in
secret drawer of his safe and looks very
wise when anything is said about "bend-
ing" Some chocolates and cocoas require
tempering in a hot room for time, and
others are run into cold room, where the
pipes of a refrigerating machine keep the
mercury down to zero, as soon as the paste
runs out of the grinding mills. The famil-
lar chocolate packages made up like little
bricks united by thin webs at the bottom
are made up in tins which hold Just quar-
ter of a pound of chocolate. For confec-
tioners the chocolate is made up into ten
pound loaves.-Chicago Record.

A Chance that Young OrviI1e Brown is
not HOrse-thief.
Sheriff Burdge returned from Emporia
last night with Orville Brown the young
man who was supposed to have stolen
two horses from Mrs. Casson of Quinton
Heights Brown had one of the horses
with him and the other horse was found
in a pasture a few miles from Topeka.
Brown is not mentally bright and is
unfortunately tongue-tied, but he tells
story that may result in his being clear
ed.
He says he paid Mrs. Casson $34 last
summer in part payment for one of the
horses, and that he was to work out the
balance, at the rate of fifty cents day.
He says the time when he had earned
the horse had expired last No
vember, but his employer refused to give
him the horse.
He adds also that he has been cheated
out of his wages nearly every place he
ever worked, and he was getting tired
of it.
This idea so preyed upon his mind that
he took the horse which he claims is his
Monday night. The other horse got out
by mistake.

boys story. and doubts his guilt

PARKHURST'S LOANS.

Some Exceptions Taken by the Doctors
Agent.
In the article published in the STATE
JOURNAL last evening the facts were
carefully given by this paper and were
secured from unquestioned authority.
The JOURNAL publishes the following
letter from Mr.. Hunt, DR.. Parkhurst's
agent, at the Same time it must be stated
that Mr.. Hunt, while implying that the
statements in the JOURNAL were untrue
he admitted that the facts recited were
in the main correct. The following is
the card:
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
If the statements in the Wednesdays
issue of the JOURNAL were true, could
DR.. Parkhurst Justly be styled either
were not true, why should they be printed
by way of reflection upon "an honorable
man who merely seeks to protect his own
interests?"
As a friend of Dr. Parkhurst, and of
Justice, and as his agent who placed this
loan and foreclosed it, l ask the privilege
of stating the facts in, this case.
In the first place, EC. Parkhurst had
no direct dealings WITH Mr.. Romine. He
did not know him perlonally, nor in any
way, except as his name appeared in the
papers. He bought thu security as he
would buy railroad or municipal bonds.
The obnoxious "provision" Tin the mort
gags) referred to was not inserted by
DR. Parkhurst, but it is the common
printed form In general use throughout
the state
The interest on DR.. Parkhurst's mort
gage had been defaulted for more than
year. No reason whatever was given
for its non payment. Upon investigation
it was found that Mr.. Romine was owing
a prominent business man in Eskridge
$500. to secure which debt he had given
q second mortgage on this same farm.
When it is known that the farm in
question is upland, and contains only
80 acres; that the first mortgage was for
$1,000; that the property had deprecated
in value through neglect; that interest
had already been overdue for more than
a year; that the taxes were unpaid, and
that the sum total of all the liens against
said farm amounted to more than 81, 800,
