IN MEMORIAm.

There is no custom, probably, that
has grown mp during the last quarter
of century that is dearer 10 the hearts
of the people Of this great nation than
that of the observance Of Memorial
day. That custom, borrowed from the
chivalrous sons of the South, has be-
come national holiday when men lay
aside their usual avocations to remem-
ber the deeds OF the past 1t is so
universally kept because the memories
chat the day brings up are so univer-
sally brought home to the household

laudatory spirit that the veterans OF the
late war should keep the day nor ID
the day set apart for the remembering
OF their deeds. Neither: is 1t to re-
member the deeds OF the dead. Iti the
cause for which they gave their lives =
their self-sacrifce, their patriotism, their
heroism-these things are what should
be remembered and inculcated in the
mind Of every child. May the day, per-
fumed and heavy laden, with its sad,
yet beautiful story, prove no less bene-
fetal than it has III the past.

For sacrifice they made to conquer wrong.
For Freedoms altar that they helped to
raise
Praise them today with eioquence and song.

While the City Solicitor was given
authority to 60 to Newport today to
secure the passage Of an act in regard to
the condemnation Of land for park pur-
poses, it is not to be supposed that the
power will be used in q hurry. The
Commissioners can find work enough
TO do for few years in over 200 acres
without adding about half as much
more to 1t at fancy prices. Land has
developed wonderfully between the
Boston and Newport road and the park
land SINCE last year, in the opinion OF
the owners. The Assessors might test
Il and see II il is really so.

Buchanan's case. like nearly every
thing else in the world, is sure to end
some day, no doubt; but when man
has been sentenced to death four times
already, and has still little more than
q month to live, there is no knowing
what may happen. Especially is this
true when the case is in the hands of
men who are apparently not squeamish
in insisting on devices for defeating
the execution of the law.

THE COMPANY Was NOT TO BLAME.
Engineer Grlffey Alone Responsible
for His Death.
Judge johnson Grants Nonsuit in
the Case for $4,000
Damages.

The arguments on General Harris mo-
ton for a nonsuit in the case of Lucy
Griffey against the Southern Pacific
Company for $4,000 damages for the
death of her husband, engineer Griffey,
in October, 1892, were concluded yes
terday in Judge Johnsons court, hav-
ing lasted since Monday noon.
General Hart and Major Gett proved
themselves to be "stayers, for they de-
bated the points at issue with the tenac-
ity of a pair of modern aspirants for
the championship of the manly art.
When Judge Johnson opened his court
yesterday morning he briefly reviewed
the facts of the case, as they had been
presented and concluded by saying that
he preferred a little more, evidence and
less law. He had repeatedly called the
attention of plaintiffs counsel to the
necessity for presenting evidence on
certain points that had a bearing on the
case.
The motion for nonsuit is granted"
said the court.
Then Mr.. Gett pleaded with Judge
Johnson to reopen the case in order
that he might be permitted to put in
the testimony of a couple more wit
neSseS-men who saw the accident. Ii
the case were now closed the statute of
limitations would intervene before a
new suit could be commenced
Judge Johnson declared a ten minutes
recess in which to consider the request,
and when court reopened he announced
that he would grant it.
Mr.. Gett called to the stand one
Johnson of Davisville, who claimed to
have witnessed the collision between
GrlHey'S locomotive and the other. He
said the former was about 800 yards
away when he first noticed it, and that
minute and a half later the two en-
gines came together.
From this it would be inferred that
Griffey's engine was going very slow.
but when General Hart and the court
both tested the witness idea of the
lapse of time by holding watches on
him, it was shown that in just five sec
OndS he concluded that the three and
half minutes had expired.
Major Gett did not think it fair test
He held that the witness was so
alarmed over General Harris vigorous
method of cross examination that it
ratified him, but the court did not agree
with him.
At this juncture the noon recess was
taken, and in the afternoon the lawyers
again took up the broken threads of
their arguments and for three hours the
battle of brains and legal lore again
waged warm and fierce
Finally, when it seemed that all the
argument possible had been made, and
all the authorities cited, Judge Johnson
again went over the evidence adduced
The case had narrowed down. he said to
this one propositions: Had there been
sufficient testimony produced by the
plaintiff to warrant the court in sub
hitting the case to the jury, or was it
in that position where it became the
courts duty to determine whether or
not, on points of law, there had been
shown to be negligence on the part of
the company. In his opinion it was
clearly in the province of the court to
settle the question at issue, which he
did by granting the defendants motion

is worth but So month and even less,
and the state of civilization calls for
no higher level Of living than is repre-
sented by the low wage at which it is
impossible for the American workman
to endure and live as our civilizing
conditions demand, the competition is
of an order that must prove destructive
to American industry. Many years
ago the Record-Union declared it's be-
lief that the Jap and the Chinaman in
Japan and China were more dangerous
to American workingmen than the Jap
and the Chinaman in the United States.
While the Record Union has steadily
held for an exclusion policy, and
against the home competition between
Chinese and American labor, it has not
at any time changed it's views on the
other matter, and to-day it's forecast is
proved true The question for states
manship to now consider is the old one,
What is to be done about it?"
The record-union., 1895-11-28

From this it will be seen that in 1861
the relation Of personal to real property
was 90 per cent; for every 50 of real
property we had 81 of personal prop
erty. In 1891, to use even figures, the
real property has practically eight
times the value of the personal property
On the face of this showing, we are
within II per cent. of the single tax on
land.
But the single tax advocates object
on the ground that improvements are
classified as real property, and this
leads US to an examination Of the ques-
ton Of the value Of improvements on
real property. From the same source
Of information, therefore, we present
the figures Of the valuation Of real
property and the improvements there
on. The total value Of real property
be 1t observed, in the State Of Califor-
mia, is 1855, 800, 025. Of this S241, 1874, O60
rs presented in the Controllers report
as improvements on real estate. The
question arises as to how this aggre-
gate of valuation Of improvements af-
fects country property. We are pre-
pared to say that at least so per cent
of 1t is upon the urban property of the
State. and in proof of this, we cite some
instances. San Francisco alone is set
down as having $S6,0S3, 059 improve
ments on real estate. Los Angeles has
$50. 203, 610 at least SO, 000, 900 of which
is in the city of Los Angeles alone. AL
ameda County has SO, ia, 266. It has
three cities with an aggregate popula-
ton Of 100000, and at least $50, 100000
Of the value of the improvements on
real estate is to be found in these three
cities. Sacramento has $S,117. 900 inn
provements on real estate. OF this sum
at least $6,000,000 is referable to the
city Of Sacramento So of San Jose,
Santa Rosa, San Diego, Fresno, Ma
rysville. etc. 1t may therefore be safe
~ assumed that about $200,000,O00 Of
improvements on real estate relate to
the improvements on urban property,
leaving about $42,000,000 assessed as
improvements upon country property
It becomes obvious therefore that the
rate of personal property to real estate
and improvements of 1892 found in
the whole State would descend to about
3 per cent If applied to country prop
erty alone BY this means we derive a
justifabIe statement that so far as the
cultivated land in California is con-
cerned it bears as land alone about 90
per cent. of the taxes assessed for State
and county purposes; that is TO say, the
nroportion of the valuation of personal
property to the real estate, excluding
improvements thereon, is about 8 per
cent.
The cost of collecting the personal
property tax is vastly greater than that
attending the collection of taxes on real
property. From the investigation we

once down, disease finds an easy en-
trance.
If there is weak spot in the body, dis
ease-gerns will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is a predisposition to disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen.
eral, it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease Debility of
any kind is a direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures qS per
cent. of all cases of consumption if taken
in the early stages of the disease, is that
it puts the whole body into hearty,

THANKSGIVING TIME.

After the blowing, and after the sowing,
After the delving in old earths breast,
After the reaping, after the moving
Cometh the beautiful time of rest,
Wherein we pause to count the treasures
Which Nature filings to the waiting land:
The corn and wheat in unstinted measures,
Heaped in abundance on every hand
What far land freshened by crystal
waters,
In wealthy Ind or in rich Cathay.
Gives such rewards to it's sons and daugh-
AS ours" bestows on tits own to-day?
Then give God thanks for the gift of liv-
Where all such rich abundance grows,
And raise your hearts in Glad Thanks
For ali the the gifts which His hand bestows.
For life and health and the grace of low
ing;
Dear ones to share our prosperity;
For laws which, e'er their own wisdom
proving,
Shall be our gift to posteritv
For hope and faith and the bliss of reason,
For homes and plenty of sweet content
Where friends may come at this happy
With welcome words of encouragement;
For purpose and strength of life's re-
For joys we gather from day to day.
Which, like the blossoms in wild retire
ment,
Bloom bright and beautiful by the way
Ay render thanks that Gods gifts are
given
Never alone to the favored few"
But all who have loved or hoped or striven,
May find them everywhere fresh and new.
Thanksgiving time! What a happy
vision
Is called to life by the charmed word,
When youth dwelt ever in fields ely
san,"
AS free from care as a singing bird
All, then it meant the delightful swing
ing
Across the hills to the dear old farm,
Where grandpa, still to the homestead
clinging,
Gathered US all in his ample arms
When father, mother and merry maiden
With all the kinship afar and near,
Gathered about the long table laden
With the fruits of a prosperous year.
The merry meal and the sweet Thanks
giving,
When praises so simple and pure arose!
All life indeed were well worth the living,
With pleasures so true and sweet as those.
But life is short, and we fain would wan
der
In sunny wales by youths fower-girt
stream,
And over its peaceful pleasures wonder,
While time is lost in lotus dream
After the sun and after the shadows,
After the testing times worst and best.
After the reaping of life's largest
meadows,
Cometh time for thanks and rest

have made on this subject, derived
from the Controllers report, we are
disposed to think that it may be ac-
cepted as a conclusion based on ire
futable fact that SO far as personal
is concerned the revenue de-
rived from it does not pay the cost of
its collection; that there is a loss to the
revenues of the State and counties by
reason of the attempt to assess personal
and that taxes would actually
be lower if there were no personal prop
eIty assessment.

In Egypt there is race of dogs who
were once domesticated, but being
starved, they threw off the yoke of civ
ilization and became wild again. These
runaway dogs have taken possession of
the hills They would be the happiest
dogs in the world were it not for the IN
tense heat of the summer months, foi
which they have a holy horror. To keep
comfortable, following the fashion OF
rich people who live in Nice during the
winter and Trouville and Paris during
the summer, they have two dwellings,,
one facing the west and the other the
east.
From daylight until noon they hide
themselves in their dwellings, towards
the setting sun. from noon until evening
they remain hidden in those facing the
east. At night, having no fear of the
heat, they spread over the open country,
hunting for food.
