CALIFORNIA OPINION
Bryan in the Wreck

Mr.. Bryan's helpful kindness toward
the injured in the Kansas railway acct
dent of Wednesday was probably only
what any good citizen would have done
under like circumstances. There was
nothing extraordinary in a passenger
who had escaped unhurt lending a hand
to those who were less fortunate, even
though the uninjured traveller chanced to
be former presidential candidate. The
incident merely shows that Mr.. Bryan
Is kind-hearted gentleman-which has
never been questioned-but to many per-
sons probably the ex-candidate has
shown himself through this episode in a
more pleasant light than any in which he
has ever appeared before.-San Diego

No Claim

young man presents himself at the
office of an accident insurance company.
He wears a bandage over the eye and is
supporting himself feebly upon crutches.
II come" he says, "to claim the indem-
nifty due me by virtue of my policy. The
other day I fell from staircase. at
great height, and sustained injuries which
will incapacitate me for work at least
during one month"
The Manager: young man. your case
has been thoroughly investigated, and
It is found that you are not entitled to an
indemnity. Yours cannot be called an ac-
cident. You knew very well when you en-
tered the house that the husband of the
young lady was at home"

of this joke differs from the American. In
this country it always reads, father of the

For Road Reform

The California Goodroads league has
been organized to conduct the agitation
in behalf Of road reform The reader
will notice the consolidation of the ad-
name "Goodroads," and this is said to
be the device OF the president of the new
organization, Mr.. Seth Mann of this city,
who says we have things called roads,
but they are not what the league advo-
Gates, and that the idea Of good roads
is definite enough to be entitled to ex-
preston in a single word, even If two

gether to make it.-Oakland Enquirer.

The exports of corn from the country Sd

sented by the Boston Globe, have been
115 900. 900 bushels, against 64,00o,OOO
bushels last year. The foreign nations
appear to be acknowledging the corn at
last. The scarcity of wheat this yea"
will tend to popularize corn as food, and

Of itself 1t is not at all likely that the

to buy coal, and they will have the money

ANARCHY IN CRETE.

Terrible Reign of Blood and Fire in the
 City of Canea, Greece.
 VIENNA, Feb. 6.--An unconfrmed re- port has been received here of the mas sacre of 1,5OO Christians in the villages of the island of Crete.
 ATHENS, Feb. 6.-The situation at Canea has reached crisis of blood and fire. The Turkish troops have joined hands with the native Mus sulman cut-throats, The consul has sent telegrams to the effect that the situation is hopeless. At Retimo. 5000 Mussulmans assembled in front of the government house and threatened to slaughter the entire Christian popula- tion, unless all the Christians outside of the town would consent to disperse. The attempts to exclude the Mussul- mans from the strategic portions of the town were abandoned, upon the advice of the bishop, and the Christians finally consented to retire. This con- cession on the part of the Christians, however. does not prevent the Mussul- mans from continuing to besiege Christian villages.
