1t is not at all likely that the last has
been heard Of the Callendine combina-
ton, for the fellow has been in trouble
already at the Folsom State Prison,
and during the thirty years that he has
to serve it is safe to say he will com

has been made the victim of a murder

Townsend, who resented it and was

THE DOG IN THE MANGER.

The Stockton MALI takes the Rec
ord Union" to task for insisting that
there shall be no obstructive tactics
to prevent Congress from providing
sufficient income to pay the running
expenses of the Government 1t de-
clares that what we consider obstruc-
ton may be, nay, Is, matter Of hon.
est conviction with many. and that
they are therefore justified in legisla-
tive tactics that will give effect to their
convictions; as, for instance, that it
is more important that there shall be
free coinage of silver than that there
shall be revenue provided for the daily
calls OF the Government.
Moreover. there are many men who
do not believe in protection at all, adds
our contemporary. and these are justi-
fed In rejecting it in any form or un-
der any guise. These should not be
called upon TO sacrifice their convic-
tions nor be asked to be party to enact
ments that they honestly believe to be
detrimental to the people of the Union.
We bow to the will of the people,
but continue to believe that We are
right" it is added. and then follows
the bold statement that the minority
should concede no advantage to the
majority, and lose no opportunity to
advance the cause of silver. Any other
course. the Mali holds. would be bad
politics.
We have not asked anyone to sacri-
fce his convictions. but it is not nee
essary to consistency that one should
hold up the country al the point of ac-
cidental power. 1t is not proof of
love for the people that one is better
politician than patriot. 1t is not de-
manded that anyone shall approve Of
protection who is honestly a free
trader. II is not asked that there
shall be any sacrifice whatever. But It
is asked, and is a reasonable request,
that when minority has the verdict
of the people before il, 1t shall respect
il. and not become q mere obstruction.

MARCO MAINA'S ESTATE.
Petition for q Partial Distribution O
1t Denied.

Judge Johnson yesterday denied the
petition Of Angelic Marincovich for a
partial distribution Of the estate of her
uncle, the late Marco Mama In do
ing SO, however, the court said it was
without prejudice to a. renewal of the
petition later on.
The petitioner asked that the prop
erty on the southwest corner of Third
and streets be set aside to her at this
time. There are various other parties
in interest, and they opposed the grant
ing Of the petition because the debts Of
the estate had not all been settled.
The petitioner was represented by
Albert M. Johnson, who contended that
the will Of deceased was specific and
gave to the petitioner that particular
piece of property, regardless of the rest
of the estate and the source from which
the debts should be paid, etc.
The other parties interested in the
estate were represented by Devlin &
Devlin, F. D. Ryan and McKune &

THE ..OREGONIAN'S, FUN.

The Portland "OregOn1an, IN Ht
of dyspeptic ill-temper or for the run
of it, has INDUCED itself in criticism
of the morals of California. In its
expressed opinion, we are in the moral
back woods as yet, and there is no
health in US. Socially, we are the
sentimental descendants of gamblers
and horse thieves, and our society is
but the reflex Of conditions that grew
out of what it considers the gathering
of the most disreputable elements of
the earth.
We are without any virtue, accord
ing to the "Oregonian," and have unity
in but one tlling-the defense OF each
other when one of us is charged with
DETECTION from a moral code. Califor-
mans, it declares, constitute a COM
.munity that has inherited the instincts
of the tenderloin district. Hence 1t
concludes that this State is a good
place to keep out of and a dangerous
place in which to remain. All this has
stirred the deeps Of society, If we are to
believe the San Francisco Exam
iner.''
If the 'tOregonian" is serious in it's
indictment of Californians-which we
are indisposed to believe-if it Is honest
in its charge that men and women in
this State are below an ordinary level
an idea which we cannot think it re-
ally entertains-it will be pardoned
wholly and out of hand, If it will con-
fess that its estimate of our social and
moral conditions has been formed upon
the basis of the reports of the bawdy
press of San Francisco.
Certain Of the journals of that city
heaven be praised that all are not thus
amena ble-have certainly done all that
lies within the power of vicious in
fluenoes to lead the stranger within
California gates to believe that this
blessed land Is helPs half-acre, and
San Francisco a congested Tar Flat" ="
peopled with hoodlums, bawds, muir
derers, cut t-throats, thugs, thieves, and
human vermin generally, and that the
moral lever of the metropolis is sunk
so low that no plummet Of mercy can
fathom the depth.
We repeat that if the "Oregonian"
has been a reader of the San Fran
cisco Examiner for instance, it will
be greatly justified in concluding that
California Is the DEVILS ink pot, and
our society a conglomerate of bad
smells and social rottenness, concern
ing which the least said the better.
But if the "Oregonian' is sincere, and
does not base its judgment upon the
character of the bawdy press, then it
has uttered a foul and senseless lie,
which, fortunately for decency, bears
upon it's face so much Of the evidence
of ill-will that it loses its force and
falls harmless.
However, we are inclined TO believe
that the "Oregonian," SO generally Sc
rious and sedate, has once indulged in
pleasantly, and is having any amount
Of fun" in stirring up the animals.
California is as virtuous, morally as
correct, socially as clean, manfully as
ambitious, and is inspired by as high
purpose as any other State, or the peo-
pie thereof. We do not need to preach
our excellence; we can rest content
upon the character Of our people, the
purity of our homes, and the clearness
of the moral atmosphere that sur
rounds the State and people. To
the bawdy press we plead guilty: to
all else we enter specific denial

THE COLOR OF THE EYES.
Dark Eyes seid to Be More General
Among Women Than Among Men.

Dark Eyes seid to BE More General
among Women Than Among Men.
Into the realm of sentiment, with
heavy football, like a bull in a china
shop or an elephant among porcelain,
the sedatea and matter of fact statistician
obtrudes himself, intent on dealing,
through percentages, with matters
which n might think would be ex-
empt from such prosaic consideration.
The latest subjects of statistical inquiry
are light and dark eyes, and as Ee re-
suit of sundry responses to questions
propounded in various countries and
duly authenticated it has been discov-
ered-and not merely discovered, but
also proved-that, taking the average of
Europe and America, 44.6 is the per-
centage of men having light eyes, in
GLIDING blue and gray. The proportion
of girls and women having blue or gray
eyes is by the same computation 34.2
per cent. In other words, blue eyes are
decidedly rarer among worSen tn
among men, and it is for this reason
perhaps that blue eyes, especially in
C"OiuDluatlOu with DlOnu Dalr, are eS-
teemed SO highly as a feature of femi-
nine beauty.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but in the intermediate grade
of color between light and dark the
percentage of the two sexes is very
nearly though not quite the same. In
this intermediate category are brown
and hazel ~eyes-neither pure light nor
genuine black. The percentage of these
among men is 43. l and among women
40. l. The percentage of dark, or, more
properly, black, eyes is larger among
women, being 90. Z per cent of the whole
number, while among men it a. 1915
Perhaps it is the relative rarity of dark
eyes among men which establishes the
rule that dark eyed men are esteemed
by women to be more fortunate in the
color of their eyes than blue eyed men.
The figures upon which these percent
ages are based are the result Of inquir-
les not prosecuted in one or more Of the
countries of Europe or M or more
states of the United States, for, as is
we'll known, in southern European coun-
tries dark eyes both among men and
women predominant, while light eyes
are to be found in just as high a proper
ton i'll northern countries. New York

DICKENS DUMMY BOOKS.
The Most Delicious Satire Was Inscribed
On Their Covers.

The Most Delicious Satire Was Inscribed
On Their Covers.
Gnd's Hill was a merry house, writes
Stephen Fiske in fondly recalling Incl
dents of his visits to Charles Dickens in
an article telling of the personal side of
the novelist in Ladies' Home journal.
Dickens was a wellspring of mirth, and
his humor infected the whole party.
Often when | came down from London
he would walk out and lean against the
doorpost while | was at the gate, and
we would shout with laughter over the
fun that we had had and were going to
have. When everything else failed, the
library was an amending amusement.
The room was lined with books from
floor to ceiling, even the backs of doors
being bookcases, but the books on the
doors and along the floor were bogus.
Dummy backs had been lettered with
titles and pasted on the glass, and the
titles had been selected by such wits as
Dickens, Yates, the Collins brothers,
Albert Smith and Mark Lemon Of
Punch.
We used to sit on the floor to study
this mock library and roll over with de
light at some clever satire. l remember
1.-THE Virtues of Our Ancestors. :" a vol.
ume so thin that the title had to be
printed l~engthwise; Give Minutes In
India, by a British Tourist, " in two vol
umes as large as an unabridged diction-
airy; "Lives of the Poets" a mere PAM
phlet; Eggs on Bacon" to match
"Coke on L%ittleton;" Statues Erected
to the Duke of Wellington" 10 portly
volumes, and there were dozens of other
quips and cranks A catalogue of these
bogus books should have been preserved,
but nobody thought of writing it out;
nobody realized that Dickens would
ever die.

Collar of honor

In France the Society For the Pre-
v~ention of Cruelty to Animals decorates
dogs who have distinguished themsek yes
by deeds of bravery with a tastefuliy
designed collar Of honor" Says a
Paris letter:
Among the animals already deco
rated in this way one Of the most cele-
brated is Bacchus, a large bulldog,
whose speciality it is to stop runaway
horses by jumping up and seizing them
by the bride. 1t is calculated that the
intelligent animal has already saved
the lives of eight persons, if not more,
in this way.
Pautland, another bulldog, received
a collar in 1887 for saving his mistress
from the attack of a footpad, and Turk,
a splendid Newfoundland, has had a
similar honor for saving three young
children from drowning on different &C.
casions.
