POPE LEO Kill.

Bismarck Says He is the Greatest Man I'm
Europe.
The Pope's last encyclical turns pub
lie attention toward the Vatican. The
personality of this pontiff, who casts
aside the precedent If centuries and pro-
poses unity to the Christian world, is
most interesting. Bismarck calls him
the greatest man in Europe. His tenn
poral power is a thing of the past, yet
he has dictated to the most powerful
monarch in Europe the terms upon
which he would receive him as a guest,
and the sovereign complied with those
conditions.
The Pope's day begins at seven o'clock,
alike in summer and winter. At that
hour Contra, his faithful body servant,
unlocks the outer door leading to his
masters bedroom. 1t is the Wallets duty
to fasten this door at night, after His
Holiness has retired thus the Pope,
during his sleeping hours, is practically
a prisoner. The key of his bedroom
door, however, Leo XIII, never trusts
to any one; it is locked at night by him
self, and the key never leaves him.
The Pope is in his eighty. fifth year
and his frame is bent and meagre. His
personality is spiritlike. His is won
derfully musical voice - the Italian
voice. The Pope's memory is marvel
Gus. He has been known to recall the
faces and names of ordinary visitors
who have had audiences with him
years before. He is much attached to
Americans, and talks to them of the
great men of their country and its his
torical events.

ANOTHER DEFENSE

To the Agricultural Editor: We have
noted with much concern those attacks
on the university of California in the
agricultural department and its able ex-
ponent, DIR. E. w. Hilgard.
Does anyone for an instant doubt that
the examinations of soil is untrue? Does
anyone for an instant doubt that the
general conclusions are untrue or that
they were ever before known, viz, that
we are an arid country in California;
that an arid country is found to be both
potassic and lime carried to a much
greater degree than those countries in
which abundant rains occur? Does any
one doubt that our humus is less rich
in nitrogen than the humic soil of other
rain receiving countries? All these con-
clusons are new to science and have
made reputa ton for our college second
to none and havec ost immense research
and much money.
Our college has done much to dissent
nate trees, seeds and plants Witness the
phenomenal success of the Australian
salt grass. AT the grounds of the uni
versity is an orchard of all the best
varieties of fruit trees. If the writer
only knew he would name hundreds of
the best varieties of grapes, apricot',
prunes, olives, oranges and nuts that
have become known to the state and is
it's mainstay of wealth through the efli-
cacy of our agricultural college.
This fertilizer question is but a sec
ondary one. The successful farmers OF
this state do not even know of the mer-
its of phospheric acid potash and nj
trogen. They work the soil and put
money gained in the bank, to loan to the
poor fools that buy commercial fertil-
izers What is the professional farmer
that farms the farmer?" He who cham
pions the cause of this thing, fertilizer
as against the merit, the learning and
the good deeds of our agricultural de-
partment What we lack is successful
marketing of our goods and the fall OF
that great fruit grower, a. T. Hatch is
but attributable to his desire to make
a market for the fruits of our state. His
efforts will ever remain monument to
the unselnshness and enterprise of the
California Farmer.
A man named Sissons at one of our
very latest agricultural shows captured
$500 in prizes for his hogs. Does anybody
suppose that they were fed on corn that
was fed on commercial fertilizer?
Their name is legion that have cap
tured the best prices for the best fruit
that has ever been exhibited in this
world and raised without fertilizers. Go
to our chamber of commerce and see
the beautiful and attractive display
of the fruits of this region and it is the
writer's opinion that but one in hun
dred of the growers use commercial fer
tiizer and he, poor maa, did not injure
his fruit but two to one he quotes
Shakespeare on Purse.
But who is the man Marlatt that
says citrus auranti is viviparous, while
other scale known to us are oviparous :?
Let John Scott, our local horticultural
officer. look to his laurels and report or
the humbugery steam fumigation pro-
cess. This idea of gentleman perhaps
these scale are not dead, but they will
bring forth no more their reproductive
organs only are injured. Gertlemer,
do not over-exert yourselves; conse-
Guences are pernicious and talk is cheap

BOSTON EXHIBITS BACCHANTE'S S
STATUE.

MacMonnies' famous figure of Bac-
chante was placed on public exhibition
in Boston recently in the large court OF
the public library buildings.
The trustees of the library succeeded
in inducing the art commission to recon-
slider its final decision as to rejecting the
statue. and on Sunday the figure was
placed in position for its members to look
at. All this week the famous work will
be seen by those who care to look, and
soon after that the art commission will
finally decide on its acceptance.
The figure up to its waist is now hid

fountain. This water will continue to

Conditions and TheorIes.

Once upon time Mr.. Cleveland rose
to remark that it was a condition and
not theory that confronted us. A con.
| dition will confront him and the rest oil
the country when congress assemblies
says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal
1t is not the same condition that caused
him to coin the famous apothegm. No
indeed. The condition then was a re.
redundant revenue and o treasury
gorged with idle money Now, if you
drop nickel in the slot the treasury
gives forth a hollow, hooking sound
There is wide hiatus between the
tongue and the buckle. Uncle Sam is
living beyond his means He is spend
ing more than he takes in. He is get
ting in debt, and has fallen into the
pernicious habit of asking his creditors
to call again next Saturday. He can't
at least he wOn't-reduce his expenses.
Therefore he must get more money.
What is he going to do about it? A
condition-and, alas, several theories
confront him! Indeed, theories have a
habit Of flocking with conditions. Even
in the message in which Mr.. Cleveland
made his famous epigram, he promptly
followed it up by celebrating his theory
Of how to get rid Of the conditions.
His theory was that Of the free trader
or tariff reformer. The Republicans
recognized the condition, but their
theory was to reduce the revenue by
increasing the tariff to the prohibitory
point. The real trouble, after all, was
in the theory. And it is even so now.
Democrats and Republicans alike agree
that something ought to be done to
supplement our abbreviated resources.
But they will never agree with each
other, and the republicans will never
agree with the administration as to
how 1t should be done. There will be
mighty threshing over Of old straw,
the Congressional Record will be fed
fat with partisan speeches, there will be

the slOp rhetoric Of forty campaigns
will be poured out in a turbid tide,
tariff arguments that were old when
Henry Clay was young will be howled
to an empty house and desolate gal
lery--and that's all.
