From comparison of the two sides of
the case it would appear that England
still had some claim upon the island hut

those interested with him possess could

In speaking of the topography and gen.
eral nature OF Trinidad he said it is rocky
and mountainous. the highest peak being
5000 feet above the sea level. The general
appearance is rugged and uninviting,
but in spite of this the inland plateaus
are rich with luxurious vegetation.
Prominent in tnis is specis OF bean. 1t

no animal life. At one time there were

Trinidad is the breeding place, though,
of almost the entire feathery population
of the South Atlantic ocean. The pro-
portion OF guano is very large and this

700 pounds each and these will also prove
a source of wealth. In the waters around
the island are many varieties OF fish
which can be caught as quickly as they
can be hauled in.
How arc you going to proceed in peo-
plng the island?" was asked.

who attend to that and all the other busi-
ness in relation to the island. | also have
representatives in almost every other
country. We are meeting with no diff

only trouble is that we receive more ap-

In the prospectus issued by the baron
and his associates it is stated that the
state will issue bonds TO the extent of
$1O0. 000 represented by bonds of 5000

ten bonds will be entitled to transportation
to the island and maintenance there dur
ing one year, aided to the oIther prerog-
atives attached to the bonds, provided. OF
course. they submit to the discipline and

vided that none of the land is to tie sold

San Bernardlno Notes

SAN BERNARDINO, July 2.-The to-
tai assessment of San Bernardino county,
a. furnished by the county assessor to-
night, is $14. 209, ,702, or $1.25O. 900 less
than the assessment OF 1894. This reduce
,Sion is due aiomst entirely to the law en-
scted by the last legislature, exempting
.ruit trees under four years of age from
taxation.
There have been thousands Of acres set
to oranges and lemons during the last
exempted, and the result is seen in the
big cut in the total assessment of the
county. In the city OF Redlands alone.
which contains sixteen square miles. this
is estimated to have reduced the assess
ment $50, 900.

The Catholics and Lutherans OF Illinois
are protesting vigorously against thu law
Of that State providing for putting the
United States flag over the school-houses.
and are finding warm supporters OF their
protest outside Of their own denomina-
tions. The Chicago Tribune questions the
constitutlonality of the law. and In one
county In the State. at least, where great
objection to the law IL manifested. the
public school guardians have decided 10
test In the courts the point raised by the
Tribune.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican re-
CARDS the law as q very unwiee one.
Patriotism, 1t says. Is not to be manu-
featured In that way. In a country par
ticularly whose first principle Of govern
ment Is the non-interference OF govern
ment with individual action where the
rights Of others are respected. such enact
ments must be regarded as somewhat out
Of place. Compulsory and general flag
flying, II adds. tends rather to belittle the
symbol and deaden the sentiment which
the sight OF It should awaken.
That Is the sensible view to take OF the
matter. Yet we recall that when the
Legislature Of Virginia refused to pass n
law compelling the flying Of flags over
the public school-houses Of this State,
some Of our northern and western con-
temporaries nearly went into Mysteries.

among the dailies these have II all to

mass OF the Democratic politicians. they
are. indeed. trying to out-Pop the Popu-

The Observer closes its article as fol-
lows:
There is no guessing what has be-
come Of the wits Of the man who believes
that the national Democratic party Is
going to declare next year for the free
and independent coinage Of silver at the
existing ratio. and those who believe and
preach that It will are merely preparing
a disappointment for themselves. and
preparing to be rent by those they may
succeed In dipping.
We have discussed this latter point

Monday last, but they have not seen
the two resolutions which were made
the basis of q compromise. We give
them.
The committee on the subject reported
amongst others the following resolutions:
THAT while recognizing that the ques.
ton of currency belongs exclusively to
the Federal Government. the people Of
Pittsylvania favor and insist upon the
free coinage Of silver"
Mr.. Rison offered the following reso-

mentioning his name anywhere. the Sun

In South America. And II handles

South American brethren or cousins. but
Of the Gormanites. Read the following
as an example:

beset the polls. run the primaries, hold

not suit them. and defy public opinion.
Having no respect for the ballot or Its
verdict, they impose policies OF their
own. waste the States resources. inJure
business. and paralyze Industrial. social.
moral, and political progress. Under the
forms Of Constitution framed TO -
cure equality Of opportunities to all clti-

some such law the many farmers owning
acres imperfectly inclosed, or lands

duced expense contemplated utilize large
areas for the exclusive grazing OF their
own cattle.
The owners OF hogs and sheep would
themselves be benefited by such an en-
actment In that the exposure OF the
hogs and sheep to thieves and dogs would
