WISE PROVISION.
Los Angeles Times: 1t is refresh
ing to note that our naval authorities
are moving in the direction Of providing
dry docks for American warships. 1t
is ridiculous to talk about having a
great navy until docks are provided in
which to repair them The idea of
having to send the Indiana to Halifax
in order to get her repaired. will, it is
hoped, prove such an object lesson to
Uncle Sam that he will be reused to
action. We ought not to be depen-
dent upon any foreign dockyard for
this service, and least of all to England.
Congress will doubtless be called upon
at it's next session to outfit the Govern
ment with such facilities as are de-
manded. both OF. the eastern and west
ern coasts of the continent, and there
should be prompt appropriation of the
necessary funds for this important
work.
AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.
Red Bluff Peoples Cause: You do
not see or read about great armies Of
idle men as you did year or two ago.
There was no free soup ladling last
winter, and no move carried on by the
city newspapers with a great flourish
to ameliorate distress. Whence it is
fair to infer there was not very much
distress. AS a matter Of fact, there
are few idle men in San Francisco, the
great center of labor. There do not
seem to be many idle men anywhere
that is idle men who are really anxious
to work, and know how to work. There
never was a time when there were not
men complaining of their inability to
get a job, and probably never will be-
That is a normal condition, and is very
different from that where thousands of
able-bodied men, some of whom had
been we'll circumstanced, line the
streets or march out to the park and
work for a dollar a day. The weak
another cannot hold his job we have
always with US, but it is one of the
most encouraging signs that men act
ually wanting work and with the ca
pacity to perform it after they get it
are now finding their opportunity.

FARM INDEBTEDNESS IN THE

Probably no economic question has
been more nisrepresented and Inisstated
than that relating 10 farm mortgages

the number and amount of mortgages
and their relation to landed property,

the knowledge, that SO many forms OF

We have heard very little of the matter
from the populistie press. 1t is we'll
aware that its previous alarming state
was no basis for the cry that the West
is mortgaged for seven-tenths of its
value. Now comes cumulative evidence
of the truth in the report of the Labor
sofa. Concerning this report the St
Paul Pioneer Press has this to say:
The facts brought to light completely
overturn many of the leading assump-
tions of the Populists and free silverites.
Mr.. Powers established beyond question
the fact that the farmers of Minnesota
and of all the ten Central States of the
Mississippi Valley have been receiving
larger average net returns for all their
staple products than at any time pre-
vious to 1873 and that they have been
doing this even during the last four
years of severe business depression. In
previous reports he had shown that the
mortgage Indebtedness of farmers in
this State, instead of having enormously
increased as represented by the Popu-
lists, had greatly decreased relatively
to the population and to the value of
farms; that in the older sections or the
State a large proportion Of the farm
mortgages had been paid off and were
in rapid process of being discharged,
and that it was only in the newer ana
recently opened sections of the state
that there had been an increase in farm
mortgages.

Greater New York will now have a
fair. open opportunity to decide wheth-
er it will have a clean, peerless and
economical government, or commit its
new destinies to the old-time spoilsmen
and partisans. The struggle of the
newly-formed city, is to be over the
mayoralty, with Seth Low, the young
giant who gave Brooklyn such line
administration, on one side and the
Tammany chief on the other. 1t is
rather surprising that Mr. Low should
consent to step down from his high
place at the head of the Columbia fac
ulty to wrestle for the mayorship OF
even the greatest municipality of the
new world. But he was not a self
seeker He did not ask or play for the
nomination 1t came to him unsought,
case of the Office seeking the man. 1T
remains to be seen if the people Of
Greater New York will place at the
head OF the new government at the

FINE RENuTTED.-As intimsted yes

by the Police Court upon E. Shock for

RENTED, and having served his term Of
thirty days confinement he was re-
leased. Shock, it will be remembered,
had been arrested and fined under a

raid was made, but was rearrested
with the others under a Common
wealth's warrant. 1t was urged i'll his
behalf that he was in the business but
two weeks, and that he ceased conduct

the first time. The Mayor and Com

BUILDING ASSOCIATION RATES
Two decisions have recently been rem
dered. one in Circuit Court No. 9, Of
Baltimore, and the other by the Mary
land Court of Appeals, in which the
right of building and loan associations
in that State to charge certain rates Of
premium upon funds advanced to mem
bers is sustained. 1t was claimed in
the case tried in Circuit Court No. 2
that the premium was uSurious, but
Judge Stockbridge decided against this
contention and in favor of the associs-
ton. The same question, it is stated,
was involved in the opinion Of the
Court of Appeals and was decided in
the same way. In view of the large
number of persons connected with loan
aud building associations, the decisions
in these cases are of interest.

THE CRErAN AFFA1R.-A dispatch

THE CRETAN AFFAIR.-A dispatch
from Canea says "The Moslems have
abandoned Voucoulis and have retreat
ed to Alikianos, were they are now
surrounded. Fighting is now going on
there. A crowd of Moslems marched
yesterday to the military headquarters
here and demanded that they be fur
nished with arms in order TO relieve
their comrades. Martini rifles and
ammunition were given to them and
they marched out of the city. Later
fighting occurred on the hills near the
city, with no decisive result on either
side"
Russia, it is said, is prepared to bring
about the forcible expulsion of the
Greek torpedo flotilla from Cretan wa
tiers, the disarmament of the Greek
troops in Crete, and blockade Of the
Greek coasts, if the Hellenic govern
ment persists in its imprudent attitude.
IF Greece goes to war with Turkey she
will be left to fight her battles alone.
A dispatch from Salonica, Turkey,
says the authorities have been ordered
to arm and dispatch the reserve of the
Third army corps to the Greek frontier.
A dispatch from Athens says the
National League has addressed a memo
to King George and Premier Delyannis
declaring that if Europe tries to cancel
the fait accompli of the union of Crete
with Greece the league, through its
powerful resources in Macedonia ard
elsewhere in the Balkans, will provoke
general uprising of Hellenism.
