 There are now more provocations for war than in olden times, yet there are fewer wars. The different nations are now thrown more in contact with each other; they trade and traffic one with the other and there Is more travel from one to the other. This communication naturally leads to complications. But thanks to the prevalence of the spirit of peace and the increasing inclination to rely upon arbitration, war is seldom re- sorted to. War is now almost confined to those nations whose boundaries ad- join. Such was the Franco-Prussian war. the war between the States and the Chinese-Japanese war. It is seldom that nation will go to war with a distant nation. The isolated position of the United States is guarantee against war. But in the olden times wars were waged for conquest, and one nation would wage war with far distant na- tion. The Romans set out to conquer the world. The Goths and Vandals swept down from the north upon all of southern Europe. Spain conquered Mex leo and South America. The invaders of that age conquered a country for the purpose of living there. They carried their wives and household goods with them, and established colonies in all conquered countries.

The New York Herald, Senator Hill and all the papers and politicians that oppose the income tax law are now felic- itating themselves upon the decision Of the supreme court Senator Morgan and all those who advocated the income tax have not been heard from. Senator Morgan devoted a large part of speech he made in Birmingham to sustaining the income tax law and to proving that it was constitutional. As he has always been regarded as one of the best consti- tutional lawyers in the United States his words were accepted as the law and the gospel. But the decision of the Su- preme Court proves him to have been mistaken.

very appreciabie growth of sentiment in
favor of making general highway con-
struction duty upon all values taxable
within county, instead of being visited
wholly upon agricultural lands, since 1t
is quite generally conceded that towns
are equally with rural sections interested
in the maintenance of good, permanent,
swift roads.
The capacity of haul on the average
poor road in California has been demon
strated to be so low, compared with what
permanent road, that it is astonish-
ing the people have not before investi-
gated the subject. For instance, with the
cost of hauling by wagon to market, or
rail, at seven and a half cents ton a
mile. the draft on the average horse is 200
pounds to move 1,40O pounds eighteen
miles in one day, when he should move
1000 pounds the same distance and speed
with draft of but forty-six pounds. So
y
expended now in moving 1,400 pounds,
ought, under right road conditions, to
move between 5000 and 5000 pounds. 1t
requires no mathematical expert to con-
vince any one who thinks a moment
upon the figures. that the California pro-
ducer is handicapping himself at a fear
ful rate, and that true economy bids him
change his policy as rapidly as it can be
effected, with due regard to capacity to
meet the cost.
All these and several other subjects,
such as the Massachusetts and the New
Jersey road systems, and also the matter
of California representation at the Good
Roads Parliament to be held at Atlanta
Ga, in October, 1895, will come before the
approaching convention. Our people may
reasonably expect also to gain much val
liable information from the official vista
ton of General Stone as the representa-
tive of the United States Department of
Agriculture. The press of the State
should conserve the movement to have
the convention reassemble, and to have
every Board of Supervisors. all agricult-
ural associations, all colleges. all muni-
cipal governing boards, all commercial
boards and bodies, all county engineering
name and Wheelmen societies repre-
sented. General Stone should be met in
Sacramento in February by thoroughly
representative body of Californians of the
progressive type, and we doubt not that
he VIII be.

THE WEBER MURDER.

Apparently No Clew as Yet to the
Arch Fiends.
Coroner Clark says he will not hold the
inquest in the case of Mr.. and Mrs. T. III.
l.. Weber, who were SO foully murdered
on Saturday night, for several days yet.
So far as can be learned there have been
no new developments calculated to throw
any light on the mystery surrounding
the identity of the murderer or MUIR
derers. The officers, however, are work.
Ing asslduously III their efforts toget some
cleW That may result in the apprehension
OF the fiend who did the bloody deed.
The murderer left the place covered
with the blood of his victims, and it is a
mystery how he could have gone any
distance, or have disposed of his blood
soaked garments without having been
seen by someone.
There is just Il possibility that either
Mr.. or Mrs. Weber made some resist
ance and that their murderer was
wounded, although it is difficult to un-
derstand how either could have done so
If the murderer's first onslaught was
made with the AK. Perhaps, however,
the ak was not resorted to al first, but
that Weber was assaulted with the knife,
and the ak used to complete the hellish
deed.
Either the murderer must have been
actually dripping with his victims blood
or was himself wounded, for on the rail
or the 1ence by the front of the store there
is big spatter OF blood. 1t is not a stain
made by blood-soiled hand, but by a
drop that fell upon the plank. From it's
position 1t would appear to have fallen
from someone on the edge of the balcony
above, or it might have fallen while the
murderer was climbing over the fence on
leaving the premises.
How ever the drop of blood got there,
the indications are that it flowed from a
wound, or else-as above stated-the muir
derer,s hands or clothing were literally
dripping gore
IL has been decided to have the funeral
Oh The victims take place Wednesday
afternoon from the Ninth-street Baptist
church. Members of the Odd Fellows
ana or the Legion of Honor, of which Mr..
Weber was member, will attend. The
services will be participated in by four
baptist manifestations. Banks, Reider,
Sturtevant and Herrick.

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver Gil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whislSey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like bailfatioeS
Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but q large be7-
centQge Of cases, and we believe, fnlLy oS
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal lnalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred 1naladies, have been
skillfully reproduced iii book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
