PHGNIx. AUGUST 8. 1895.
A SPLENDID SHOWING.

The Southern California representa- tive of R. G. Dun x Co.,, has issued the following monthly report winch makes 8 splendid showing for the Southwest: ::
 The effects of awakened industry is being felt from ocean to ocean. AS 8 rule the prices of manufactured and agricultural products are advancing. IL is not the season for business to be at high tide, still the volume of new business is sufficient to warrant the opening of more of the closed works and more advances to wage earners. Reports of shrinkage in wheat yield af- fected the wheat market materially al. though the reports are believed to be exaggerated. The iron market holds it's own. For textiles there is better out look and larger demand. It is estimated that there is general permanent gain to the whole country of about 20 per cent over last year.
 Southern California as large pro- ducer of food luxuries quickly feels the effect of any increase in general pros perlty. The bank clearances show a very large percentage of increase over the corresponding month of last year.
 There is now practically nothing do.

anomaly that a state like Georgia, which will give no Republican candi- date an electoral vote, should have the same vote at the convention as 6 state like Iowa, which is sure to give the candidate 13 votes. Yet it has proven impossible in the past to rectify this in- equality, as the politicians from the states which have more than their due share of power naturally resist any eff fort to deprive them of their advantage, and no one who is familiar with past movements in this direction can feel very sanguine of better results this year.

THE PRESS AND THE THEATRE.
 The manager of a theatre in San Francisco and his troupe of actors have got in trouble with the courts by under. taking to produce play based upon murder case which is on trial in that city. The defence of the manager is that he has as much right to present scene of crime to the pub lie on the stage as the newspapers have to present 1t to the public through their columns.
 The cases are by no means parallel. There is g distinction here that the manager does not observe. It is the business of newspapers to. publish the news; and when the occurrence of crime is part of the news of the day, this must be published if the newspa. per does it's duty by it's readers.
 The theatre. on the other hand, is en. gagged in no such business and rests un- der no such obligation to the public. It's work is primarily that of entertain ment; sometimes of instruction. It fulflls it's purpose when it reaches the highest standard of the dramatic art, n nt r bop if euhord inotor a If fo tho son. l sation of the hour.
 The press cannot perform it's work faithfully by ignoring the news of crime, for unfortunately crime is a great factor Tn the life of the commun- ity. But the theatrical manager is happily free from this necessity, and ought to avail himself of the exemption

BASIS OF REPRESENTA-

BASIS OF PRESENTATION.
 One of the subjects which the Repub- lican National committee will consider at it's meeting is the basis of represen. tation in the National Convention. An attempt will be made to secure a more rational basis than that which now exists.
 The practice of giving representation to states on the basis of population without reference to the strength of the party in them has resulted in many abuses in the past. and it is likely to have similar results in the future. It gives disproportionate power to dele gates who have only a handful of vot- CTS behind them, and Tn case of close contest makes it possible that the de- cisive vote may be given by states which can under no possibility give an electoral vote to the candidate whom their representatives force upon the party.
 There is always a chance for grave scandal under such @ system, because delegates who represent nothing in particular, and who have practically no constituencies which can call them to account, are likely to be in the market for the highest bidder. From any rational point of view it would seem clear that it is the party within the states, and not the amount of popula- tion of the states which should be rep resented.
 The states which are to do the eleot- ing should have most to say about the nominating, and it is grotesque

Nor SINCE 'The Anglomaniacs" has there been so clever society satire as Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim Sons," which is published in the August Cosmopol- itan. The problems involved in wo- mans use of the bicycle are so startling and so numerous, under the rapid ev- olution of this art, that one welcomes careful discussion of the subject by so trained mind and so clever writer as Mrs. Reginald de Koven. The Cosmo politan illustrates Mrs. de Koven's article with series of poses by profes- sional models. A new sport, more thrilling than any known to Nimrod, more dangerous than was ever experi- enced by even Buffalo Bill, is exploit ed in the same issue in an article on "Photographing Big Game in the Rocky Mountains" before shooting. The idea that ten cents for The Cosmopolitan means inferiority from literary point of view is dispelled by the appearance in this number of such writers as SIT Lewis Morris, Sir Edwin Arnold, Edgar Fawcett Tabb, W. Clark Russell, Lang, sarcey, Zangwill, Agnes Repplier, etc. Nor can we entertain the idea of in. feriority in illustration with such names as Hamilton, Gibson, Denman, Van Schaick, Lix, Sandman, etc., figuring as the chief artists of single months issue.

ing in orange shipment. Much is be- ing said of next years crop. The Cali fornia orange has the field and the is- sue to be met by the grower is the suc cessful marketing of them. Prices next year promise to satisfy the grower. We hear of one man who has sold his next years crop at 90 cents on the trees.
 Lemons are reported scarce and bringing high prices, with tendency to higher. The man who owns lemon orchard these days should look happy.
 The apricot crop is exhausted. About 300 carloads will be shipped dried from the whole state as against 1,200 last year. But the quality is very superior.
 Peaches and plums are now coming to the front, realizing good prices. The best varieties of peaches bring in most instances $20 ton. Some varieties oi clings bring s25. Pears are hardly in yet. Contract prices are considerably higher than last year, running at $10 to $25 ton. Gamers are as rule shy and not disposed to can much in excess of orders.
 The dried fruit market seems to be recovering. There is large hold over stock but the market shows more activ. ity. and there is promising of the mar keting of the hold over crop as well as that now on trays at small advance at least on present prices.
 The Chino factory has been in full operation for the past month, employ ing between 300 and $50 men.
 Apiarists report an exceedingly propitious honey season. The condi- tions could hardly be more favorable for profitable season.
 The mining revival is assuming larger proportions. Many new locations have been made during the month, and some rich strikes are reported both in South ern California and Arizona. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this mining activity is the increase in desert mines.
 Gradually the Southern California oil field is spreading. Our people do not realize the magnitude of this industry, nor accord it the attention it deserves.
 The assessments of the counties for the year show an increased assessed valuation in every county except one and this in spite of the new law ex- empting young fruit trees from tax ation.
 Fresno is feeling the effects of the coming of the Valley road and the opening of a number of new industries is promised in the near future.
 The building activity of Southern California is causing considerable com ment, not only in Los Angeles where ii is almost impossible to get out of hear. ing of the sound of the hammer, but from this whole southern section come reports of increased building opera tions. But as yet there need be no feal of over- building. The new buildings represent increasing population.
 Mercantile failures for the month in this district have been IF; liabilities $36, 800, assets $17 ,500.

Mss SUSAN B. ANTHONY is said to be one of the best breadmakers in the United States.
 NATURAL violets depending in water fall bouquets from their sable muffs were the finishing costume touches of the SIX bridesmaids at a recent we'd ding.
 MUFF chains are much in evidence. They are of good size, and are of gold in several shades The really fashion able one goes once around the neck be- fore passing through the huff.
 PARIsIAN dressmaking is supposed to be the thing to attract women in most parts of New York, but not so in the German quarter, for there you see the announcement ''Viennese dressmaker. ,.

The Ladies Are In 1t.

Mrs. 0. A. Cole, of Mt. Pleasant, de- cided yesterday on the part of the ladies of Phoenix to begin the celehra- tion of the building of the North and South road. The handsome Cole resi- dence was decorated outside with na- tional coors and inside with flowers and palms and notices of prosperity. There were nearly one hundred lady guests to whom the hostess read his- tory of the enterprise. After refresh ments Mrs. Cole presented to her visit ors a handsome and unique souvenir which also inAugurated novel and ex- citing game.
 Each guest was requested to write upon blank page the elements which entered into the construction of rail way. Mrs. Ellis Clark won the prize, for she did not omit even such trifiing details as the tobacco and alcoholic stimulants which enable graders and tracklayers to perform thelr duties. Mrs. Walter Bennett, who thought that only ties, rails, scrapers, steam shovels and pile drivers were necessary, Be- cured the booby.

MUST KNOW MORE THAN BOOKS

The Public Librarian Needs to Be an Ac-
 tive and Pushing Business Man.
 The usefulness of public library to community is not measured by books and building, but by the ability of it's librarian and the number of its read CTS. Put a good librarian in a roomy shed with a few thousand books, says the Philadelphia Press, and he will do more for city and its real education than man who is not both an able and a trained librarian with half a million books and building which cost S1,000,000, or, as in Boston. four times the value of the books it houses. A great public library to-day is simply terminal facilities and distributing station for literature. The business of being a librarian has to be learned just as much as the business of being rail road man, and to people in libraries the best librarians are just as well known as the best railroad men are to people about railroad offices A good librarian of the first rank can get $10,OO0 year without asking for it, and he is cheap at the price-a good deal cheaper than a poor man at S1,0O0. No man really equal to managing library with an in come of S30,000 or $40, ,000 year can be got for less than 1000 or 5000, though men can be had cheaper. and cheap management, always the dearest, will be the result.
 A librarian to-day is not a man who can talk about various kinds of books in an interesting way, or who can cat alogue books, or who for years has al ways been at odd library jobs, or even is interested in literature" and thinks that his general knowledge of books" fits him for the work of librarian. The new librarian is as active and pushing as any business man; he studies a city like retail dry goods man; he sees what people are going to read and he uses the knowledge to turn them to what they ought to read. He classifes and catalogues and arranges and dis tributes his store of 100000 to 800. 900 books so that the rare books which some specialist wants to see once in ten years can be got just as easily and as quickly as the novel which every one wants and of which the library has to have fifty copies. Such a librarian knows what schools are studying and he puts books in the way of the pupils.

The Decorations.

A special car of the train which ar rived yesterday afternoon was set apart for the use of J. A. German, the decora- tor, who had been sent for by the cele- brat1on committee. When MT. Cor man landed on Washington street he was overcome by surprise and horror mixed in equal parts. Those luried decorations arranged without regard to color had outraged the artistic sense of people who did not pretend to know much about decoration. Mir. German was therefore paralyzed. When he re- covered the use of his faculties he or dered those wonderful arches to be torn down and at 10 o'clock last night not a vestige of the inharmonious but patriotic colors, remained except those which adorn the fronts of the city hall and court house. German had worlds fair experience and the decorations he brought with him were modelled after those which lent glory to the great white city. His men were busy until nearly midnight so that the eye of the early citizen this morning will rest on an artistic arrangement of the fegs of all nations and the flags of nations yet unborn for MT. German is an anticipa- tive as well as an aesthetic artist.

VARIOUS VIEWS OF rtsz GOPHER
A Squirrel, Rat, a Snake, and a Turtle

A Squirrel a Rat, Snake, and a Turtle
 That Crackers Eat in Florida.
 If you should ask man from the Ill., inois prairies what a gopher was he'd tell you it was a gray squirrel that bur rowed in the ground, said a man who seemed to know what he was talking about, according to the New York Sun.
 If you should ask the same question of a man from the prairies further west, he'd tell you a gopher was a striped squirrel that lived in holes in the ground. A Missouri farmer would declare that gopher was molc-footed brown rat that digs its way under the surface in that state. A man from Georgia would probably surprise you by the assurance that gopher was q snake, and the Florida native would unhesitatingly inform you that go- pher was turtle. And the funny part of it is that every one of them would be right. A gopher is gray squirrel that burrows, a striped squirrel that burrows, rat that burrows, snake that doesn't and turtle that does, ac- cording to locality; but the most inter- esting of these is the burrowing turtle
 ''This turtle is peculiar to Florida and is an important factor in the domestic economy of the cracker population, for he cracker dotes on the gopher and hinks it is the finest thing in the edi- ole line ever created. 1 don't agree with the cracker, for I don't like the company the gopher keeps in its char lcter of turtle and 1 don't see how any thing can be good and habitually keep bad company. Strange as it may seem, this Florida turtle doesn't like the vicinity of water, but selects the high, dry, sandy ridges for it's home. The gopher digs deep hole and long one in the ground and remains there all the time it is not out grazing, for this tur- tie is a grazer, living on the wild grasses that abound in its locality. It is never happy, though, unless it's burrow is shared by a colony of lizards and a cheerful family of rattlesnakes.
 Find gopher hole in Florida and you will find from one to half dozen rattlesnakes and maybe twenty lizards of all sizes, colors and degrees of hid eousness. occupying it with the builder and owner of the burrow. The gopher plainly loves this deadly association, al though it is itself as meek and mild and harmless as dove.
 No dweller in those parts of Florida where the gopher is found ever goes anywhere without bag slung over his shoulder This is to carry home gophers in, for he is pretty sure to find some of them out pasturing. The mo- ment the gopher is surprised it shuts it. self securely in it's shell and the cracker tumbles it into his bag. The gophers are also trapped by digging hole close to the entrance of the burrow and sink ing a barrel or box into it. When the gopher comes out he tumbles into the trap and can't get out. What terrapin are to the high-living epicure those gophers are to the Florida cracker"

lie knows what is going on, and t'-e delivery desk is always ready with an answer to any question about the books on any subject up for talk. He is alive to the finger tips and he makes all his books live. No big auction of book rarities worth their weight in bank notes which takes place from Berlin to San Francisco passes without his get ting what the library needs, and no ragged boy strays into the public library wondering what it is like but finds himself, he does not know quite how, seated and reading an interesting book.
