CLASSIC sPAvINAw was visited
W last week by quite a party Of
gen tlemen and while the weather was
unfavorable they report a good time.
The company consisted Of J. II. Rat
cliff, w. @. Wright, Bob O'Shea, G..
NJ. Haltom, Jack Michael, Bob Rudi-
sill, Bates Burnett and Cute Benge.
The time expended In hunting pro-
duced nothing more than squirrels,
but they we're able TO catch plenty of
fish. Bob O'shea and Jim Ratcllff
caught IS catfish in an hour and a
half Saturday; no bass TO speak OF
we're caught on the trip. Jim Rat
cliff shot rattlesnake having thlr-
teen rattles which was more than six
feet long and 3 or inches in diam
eter.

E MURDER CASE was investl-
JUi gated by Commissioner Mcclure
last week that was remarkable In the
extreme, and one Of those eases which
may safely be attributed solely 10 the
use OF whisky. VIM. Achord, an old
man seventy years OF age, was shot in
the head and had his throat cut well
Nigh, as the evidence showed, from
ear TO ear by his nelghbor and friend,
Lewis Riley. Both men were crazy
drunk, alone at the time, at the home
OF Riley. When found the old man
was lying In the yard dead, killed as
above mentioned, and Lewis Riley was
lying on the floor Of his house, dead
drunk with his feet sticking out at the
door, apparently unconscious OF the
awful crime he had committed. The
defendant was brought here for trial
before .he commissioner the next day,
and the evidence seemed TO indicate
that no enmity had ever existed be-
tween the parties, but on the other
hand they were the best OF friends.
Lewis Riley when arraigned, showed
every evidence Of having been on
protracted spree, the duh, llstless eye,
the feyerish, dark red face and the
general maudlln look OF a man who
has been drunk, very drunk. but
showed no signs Of yiciousness, and ap-
parently had nothing TO keep back.
II was a pltlful case, and shows how
swiftly sometimes strong drink may
bring wreck and ruin to those who in
dllge. The parties lived near Nowata.

CONVIOT-MADE GOODS.

1t is passing strange that an nom bers
of the California delegation to the Trans
Mississippi Congress. which convened re-
Gently at Salt Lake, should have disre-
garded their instructions with regard to
the subject of convict-made goods. They
were sent there to act in the interests of
this State, and that opposition should
have sprung up in the delegation on this
proposition to protect honest home labor
from the ruinous competition of the pris-
ons of the East is regrettable matter
that is hard TO explain.
For years the Pacific Coast has been
dumping ground lor convict-made goods
from Eastern States and manufactures on
this slope have suffered greatly in conse-
quence. We decry slave labor ana pass
laws protecting our industries from the
competition OF countries where pauper
wages prevail and yet We lind opposition
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-29

among our own citizens in our effort to
secure protection for Pacific Coast manu-
factures from the ruinous onslaught made
on our local trade by the dealers in East
ern prison made goods.
The Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation, through it's president, had
enumerated articles brought here in this
way and had given figures to show that
nearly all of the prisons anu peni-
tentiaries of the Eastern States are pour
ing goods in upon US at prices that make
legitimate competition out of the ques-
ton. Our State delegates to the conven.
tion at Salt Lake were supplied with this
information, but all 10 no avail, it appears.
If 1t be to our common interests to see
manufactures tiourishing on this slope it
behooves our people without exception
to take a far deeper interest in the cause
OF protection to home labor and home
manufacture than was the case with the
derelict representatives at the Trans
Mississippi Congress.

THE LATE JUDGE DoOLITTLB.

The dispatches bring news of the death,
at Edgewood, Il. l., at the ripe old age of
80 years, of Hon. James Rood Doolittle.
He was a born orator, and before the War
Of the Rebellion gave promise of becoming
one of the great men of the Nation. He
was conspicuous among Western leaders
then, having joined the Republican party,
whose birth had found him one of the ris-
ing young Democrats of Wisconsin.
Political fortune smiled upon his path
way. When the Dodges, father and son,
went TO the Senate of the United States
from Wisconsin and Iowa, respectively,
those two States were ranged in the Demo-
cratic column. When the two Dodges
cast their influence and support with
Douglass for the Kansas Nebraska bill
Wisconsin and Iowa broke away from the
democratic ranks and marched beneath
the newly raised hammer of Republican
ism. 1t was the political deathknell Of
both enators, and Doolittle succeeded 10
the toga of the elder Dodge, resigning a
district judgeship 10 take his place in the
halls of National legislation.
AS Senator, Dooiittle's ability, forceful-
ness and splendid character were recog-
HiZeu promptly. Ills CONSTITUENTS loVcd
him, and the statesmen at Washington
valued his counsel. The future seemed
TO hold great things in store for him.
Then, like many another on the thres-
hold OF fame, he blundered. While no
one charged him with insincerity. while
it was even admitted that he acted ac-
cording to his own convictions of duty
nevertheless he worked his own political
undoing by aligning himself with those
who favored Johnson's plan of recon-
struction. Judge Doolittle was wrong and
his party was right. His error was very
costly. From the days of Johnson up to
the time of his demise he had practiced
law, but the rare promise of his young
manhood, by reason of that serious mis-
take Of judgment, was not realized.

BONANZA WHEAT CROPS.

In this year of shortage in the foreign
wheat crop, and the consequent heavy
demand from abroad, with the resultant
high prices, the United States is blessed
with harvest so abundant that there are
not railroads enough to handle the yield.
Not only DO all the big States of Europe
want American wheat this year, but Aus
tralia and South Africa and India are call
ing for shipments.
A most important fact in this connec-
tion is that the farmers themselves will
this year derive the benefits, of the steadily
elm bing grain rates. During several sea-
sons past scarcity Of money due to uncer-
tainty in affairs of trade and finance un-
load ed the wheat Of the country at low
figures into the hands OF middlemen,
who rea ped the profits of any advances in
price. Now, however, the feeling OF con-
fidence is universal in America; money
is flowing freely through the channels OF
trade, and the farmers have been fully
prepared for the present strong market.
They have studied the newspapers and
have held their wheat, to the utter dis
comfture of the middlemen, who for
merIy made money on wheat where the
farmer lost. The tiller of the soil knows
the conditions of the crops of foreign
lands, and he knows that the buyers must
come to him, that there can be no fall in
the rates. and that he runs no risk in
holding his grain for the present and
until tbs rates are high enough to suit
him.
America is to-day the supply house Of
the world for grain. The increase in the
wheat and barley prices has brought pros
perity to the farming industry of Caliior-
MIA, and now there is nothing lacking in
the general conditions that make good
times on every hand.
In the mid West there is actually car
famine. The situation is unparalleled.
When corn took drop year ago the
farmers held much of it over to the cur
rent season, and now this old corn crop
is being shipped along with the wheat,
which at many stations is piled noun
tains high along the sides OF the railroad
tracks.
Where the California farmer received
less than 81 per Genital for his wheat at this
time last year, he is to-day getting 81 45.
Indications are that he will get still
higher rate. The sun OF happiness and
plenty is shining gloriously down on the
American farmer, whose KIondyke is
found in golden gram.
