The FRUIT CRoP.-A writer of this
paper spent Tuesday afternoon out on
the garden road inspecting the straw
berry crop, the fruit trees and potato
patches. We have many notes on the
situation, but for lack of space will
only say in general that there will be
a good crop of pears. There will not
be fourth of a crop of prunes, cher
rles and apples. There will not be
over half crop of strawberries, Cur
rents, gooseberries and raspberries
will yield enormous, but blackber-
rles are severely thlnned out.

Attorney G.. G. Bingham, who was
employed by the finance committee
in the matter of collecting the money
lost in the Williams &'England bank
failure, made the following report to
said committee, and upon motion OF
Mr.. IParkhurst the committee was
given one weeks time to act.
THE REPORT.
81 have had several interviews with
Mr. Baker and with Mr.. Swafford con-
cernlng the payment to the city OF the
balance due from Mr.. Swafford as city
treasurer. L have made every effort
possible to induce Messrs. Swatford
and Baker to settle with the city and
to pay into the city treasury the
amount due from Mr.. Swafford, but so
far without success. l am of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Baker, the only solvent
party to the treasurer's undertaking,
will not pay until he is compelled to
do so by process of law, and L am
farther of the opinion that 1T will be
necessary to commence an action
against Mr.. Swafford and his sureties
before payment will be made, and as
the next term of our circuit court
will convene on the second Monday In
June l would recommend that such
steps be taken that the same can be
brought to hearing at that term or
our court. In my Judgment there Is
no question but what the city can Sc
cure judgment against Mr.. Swat
ford and his surities.'

Law ABIDING Suffer With the Law Breaking

1t appears that many of the railroads
have honestly endeavored to comply
with the law requiring automatic
couplers and air brakes, while some
haven't and some couldn't without u
sacrifice they could i'll afford. There
has for various reasons been consider
able construction of railroad lines to
develop business rather than to meet
the legitimate demands of business al
ready established. This has in some
instances been detrimental to all con-
cerned. But the neglect to comply
with the provisions of this humane
law is not confined to such roads. The
reply of the Northwestern illustrates
this. The representative of this road
admitted that the road earned over
asked why the management could not
apply 100000 to equipping the road as
the law directs only replied, 1T would
not be economical" Such an attitude
gives rise to the suspicion that some
shrewd managers foresaw a condition
of affairs that would compel the mar
agement Of roads that had been
equipped to aid and abet those which
had neglected to comply, in their neg
lect. Assuredly a corporation that has
complied cannot want law enforced

of the unequipped cars of their negli-
gent associate. That would be de-
structive of large amount of their
business. Accordingly they are placed
in the unpleasant situation of seeing

their employees practically set at
! naught and of being compelled to up
hold such neglect, be it xvilful or other
wise. The penalty prescribed for those
who refuse to comply with the law is

of Cuba to our Gull states. and equally
obvious will be its relations to the pro-
speCtive Nicaragua canal. As to the fIa-

In still another particular Mr.. Bryce is
misnformed. He says that ''n Cuba
there are many creole Spaniards. but
many more negroes and muattoes." The
statistical truth is that. in Cuba. the peo-
pie of pure white descent outnumber
those who have any trace of negro blood

Equally unreasonable is it to say that

weak minority. The case of Hawaii is
undoubtedly different in this respect. But
the difficulties could be easily surmounted
by establishing at Honolulu a territorial
government similar to that devised for
the Orleans territory after the purchase
of Louisiana from France.
We do not think that Mr.. Bryce will
make any converts, either in Congress or
in the community at large. by his anti
annexation article. Such exhortation
comes somewhat oddly from the citizen
Of a country which has annexed every
thing within its power over the whole
surface of the globe. and which. except
in the case of Tangiers and the Ionian
Islands. has never, willingly, relaxed its

Peters was indicted for receiving stolen

The case was carried to the law court on
the ground that the judge who presided
violated the statutes by expressing an
opinion as to the guilt of Peters. The
law court sustained this objection and
the case comes back for a new trial.
Some further disposition will also prob
ably be made with John r. StearnS, who
is charged with shooting his wife. and
who is now in the insane hospital at Au-
gusta The statutes require that Stearns
be sent for and a trial of some sort had

duty of the keeper of the asylum to let
him go free. The probability is that he
will be sent for. Lucinda c. Foss and

A Ri. Of Clean ssnsalisnallsm.

Undoubtedly it is proper to assume
that the reason why the wickedness Of
the world occupies the prominent place
in sensational journals is because the
good is commonplace. expected and
consequently has none of those un-
usual or thrilling features so readily
found and so greedily sought by some
in the accounts of crime and casualty.
Now we cannot accept the conclusion
that there is nothing of thrilling i'll
terest in an account of we'll doing, al
though the instance may not be really
extraordinary.
Such an instance occurred in Santa
Barbara a short time ago and the ac-
count of it seems to be of sufficient in
terest and the import of it Of sufficient
importance to warrant the telling-the
favorable comments may be made by
the reader.

man worked was moved to effort 1t
announced that on a certain day it
proceeds to be devoted to the young
mans case.
Then occurred a bit of clean sensa
tionalism, if we may call it that: The
cars were crowded from morning to
night. Everybody rode who had time
for it, and men who hadn't-clerks in
banks, stores, etc.-rushed out into the
street, boarded the first car that came
along, handed the conductor coin,
told him to ring it up, and jumped off
again. Change was rarely asked for
by grown-up passengers, and presently
the children caught the spirit of the
occasion. One citizen paid his fare
with a nickel and a $40 gold piece. An
other kept the conductor ringing up
for him until the register struck work

The Santa Barbara Morning Press

TrailerS were run on nearly every train
during the evening. The contributions
came from all sorts and conditions, and
even the travelling Celestials not music

dollar to the good cause. The officers
of the road were kept busy from dawn
and when the last conductor had made
his report at a late hour last night
and the big pile of glistening silver and
gold coins had been counted and care
fully stored away. it was weary but

Office of the company for their homes.
They, however, did not go directly
to their homes. They went in
