Legislative Expenses,

A favorite charge which is being con-
tinually reiterated by the Republican
press is that the Legislature was ex-
travagant, that the legislative halls were
filed with a horde of unnecessary en-
ployes and that public money was reck-
lessly sQuandered. The facts are shown
by the State Auditors books. There
record of the money drawn and the
names of the persons who drew 1t can
be found. These records show that in
1895, the Republican Legislature had S35
employees, 204 OF whom were on the
House payroll and 131 on that OF the
Senate. In 1897, with both houses con-
trolled by POpulists, the House payroll
contained 112 names and the Senate 88,
making a total of 200, which was 1876
less than In 1895. II the Legislature Of
1897 had q lot of useless employees, what
about the Republican army Of employees
in 1896? Now, as to the actual money
paid out at each session. In 1895 the
total payments of legislative expenses
were $86,229.47, while in 1897 $72,O29.1O
was paid out. When figures on legis-
latiVe expenditures are made 1t should
be borne in mind that the salary and
mileage of members is fixed by consti-
tutional enactment, and Is, therefore, a
matter over which the members have no
control. II the amounts paid for this
purpose are deducted the remainder will
show the amount expended over which
the Legislature did have direct control
No compilation Of the amounts drawn
for salary and mileage by members Of
the 1897 Legislature has yet been made,
but in 1895 the amount drawn for this
purpose was $36,327. The number Of
members and of the districts remain un-
changed from year to year, so that the
salary and mileage account cannot vary
very much. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the 1895 figures are fair average.
Deducting $S6,327 from $S6,292.47, it ap-
pears that in 1895 $49,965.17 was ex-
pended over which the members had
control. The deduction Of the same
amount from $7205910 shows that in
1897 the amount was $35, 1880. In other
words, where the Republicans spent So
the Populists spent $2.14, making a say"
ing Of almost one-third. The 1895 Legis-
lature Republican, which was in ses-
sion sixty days, cost $83975 per day,
while the 1897 Legislature (Populist),
which was in session siXty-four days,
cost $55784 per day, showing an actual
saving of $27491 for each and every
day Of the session. In the matter Of
daily expense the Populist cost was a
few cents more than So, where the Re
publicans spent So. These figures, being
taken from the State Auditors records
of the money actually paid out, are alb
solutely correct This Is the sort Of
record Populists were pledged to make.
It Is the sort of a record that Is neces-
sary to relieve the taxpayer. 1t Is what
the people may expect as result of
continuing Populists in Office.

use on well-worn Missouri farms to-day,
in liberal and thorough manner, seems
the only practicable way out OF the
dilemma, Something along this line
seems to be an imperative necessity, 1t
Is a plain business proposition.
Owing to the opportunities for adul-
teration in this business, the different
States have wisely undertaken to pro
tect the farmer; and every manufac'
turer has to comply with certain regu-
lations. This is entirely proper so far
as said regulations are practicable; that
is, so far as they will actually protect
from fraud. The buyer is entitled to
know who is the manufacturer Of the
fertilizer he buys and should have, also,
the guaranteed analysis Of goods, Off
cially signed by said manufacturer. NO
reputable manufacturer could we'll OBJ
jeCt to such a regulation. Our attention
has, however, been called to certain
irregular and entirely superhuous differ
ences in laws bearing upon this question
between different States. 1t has also
been found that trifing differences in
analyses made by different States Of
same brand of fertilizer have proven of
great annoyance and hindrance to man
ufacturers in the legitimate carrying on
and furtherance of their business.
Missouri has proper law requiring a
tag upon every sack of fertilizer giving
guaranteed analysis of contents, made
by manufacturers. If the manufactures
is a responsible party the purchaser has
ample opportunity for redress in case OF
fraud; and, considering the glaring diff
ferences between analyses different from
that of the manufacturer, we only ask
for a "fair deaP' between maker and
consumer; believing that the Importance
of the matter to Missouri landowners
to be such as to merit the smoothing
over, if possible, of all uneven ground,
that the article of unquestiOned need and
merit may be the more easily and
cheaply brought to the door Of the
farmer. And in this connection we wish
to say that it would be wise to agree
upon some general law to be adopted by
all the States regulating the sale Of COM
mercial fertilizers. Now the laws vary,
making it very burdensOme to manu-
facturers, who find one law in one State,
announcer Ill duOCueI OLoI0, ohu 9ClAA Z"
different law in third State. These
laws have all been made to protect the
farmer; but if some good and as nearly
perfect law as possible could be agreed
upon and adopted by all the States it
would save the manufacturers from
much trouble and hardship, as the laws
would be uniform and hence the manu-
facturers could work for a uniform
standard.-Colman Rural World.

arraigned in Judge Smiths court yes

sentenced, him to an eight-year term in

Brown had been out OF Folsom prison
only about seven months, when arrested
for the Pasadena crime having served
an eighteen months sentence for a
burglary committed in Los Angeles.
This fact came out at his arraignment
yesterday, Brown himself recounting
with remarkable frankness the facts
conn ected with his former conviction,
and also the manner in which he gained
entrance to the Watson home. These
matters were drawn out by the court in
an attempt to fir,d out why Brown wishes
to be sent to San Quentin instead Of
Folsom. Brown said the work of break

LEoNIs CASE DECIDED
Another Ending in an Old and Much
TANGLED Case

The suit of ]. c. Plummer vs. Jean
Baptste Leonis ct al, was decided by
Judge York yesterday, the plaintiff be-
ing given judgment that his title be
quieted upon his paying $3.50 to the de-
fendant.
The litigation grew out of an ur7,di-
vided one-haif interest in devise which
fell to the defendant from the estate of
Miguel Leopis. This half interest was
decided to M. V. Biscailuz for attorney S
| service in looking after the defendants
interests during the settlement of tbs
estate. Leowis afterward sued Biscailu7
to have the deed set aside, but was de-
| feated in the superior court
| Before taking an appeal to the super
ior court, Leonis deedIed the property
described in. the deed to Biscailuz TO
Charles Raskin, in trust, with power TO
settle the Biscailuz litigation as he
should see fit. Later the Biscailuz suit
was appealed. TO the supreme court.
Then Leonis decided the property de-
scribea in the trust deed to Raskin to his
wife, Francoise, and Rsskin also, nearly
ten months later, decided the property
described in his deed to Mrs. Leonis
The Blscailuz suit was then on appeal,
ana ABOUT nVe weeks after the execution
OF the deed from Raskin to Mrs. Leonis,
all the parties and attorneys in the in
volved transaction, except Leonls,
agreed upon mode of settlicg the mat
ter, and to deed the property to Plum
mer.
Leonis, under this agreement, was TO
receive $780, although it was not admit
ted that he had any interest in the prop
erty in litigat ton. He refused to take
any part in. the transaction and the
others executed the deed to Plummer
Afterward the supreme court and the
superior court, upoU stipulation, set
aside the deed to Biscailuz This left no
legal title TO the property in. Leonis.
Plummer's suit against Leonis was
simply to quiet his title, and the court
found that. in his deed to Raskin, he had
surrendered all his interest in the prop
erty except what he should secure
through Raskin and that when Raskin
stipulated that LeoCis should receive
$3.50 from the general settlement Leonis
hao no interest left except the $3.50

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Mrs. Margaret Coallier Graham's Pa
per on Book Reviews

The usual large mem bership was pres
ent yesterday for the regular weekly
meeting of the Friday Morning club, and
Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham read a
particularly interesting and able paper
on the value of the Book Review"
Mrs. Graham, in introducing her SUBJ
ject, said that we all acknowledge the
necessity of final criterion in art, but
as the object of art is to please, not the
individual, but the united, taste Of those
who have given most time and study
to 1t, so the artistically learned, with his
traditions and nice balancing Of the good
and bad in performance, with keen
appreciation of difficulties mastered or
mastering who gives his opinion slowly
and cautiously, is more worthy of re-
spectful attention than the ignorant II
like it, or Il don't like it" that is given
with the confidence born Of simple
standards.
There is always the minority, who are
competent to pass upon the Inherent
vigor Of the worlds work to discern the
truth, the honesty and lastiCgress of
any performance, few who are sane,
judicial calm of mind; each in his own
line learned, but all in the broadest
sense acquainted with the world. These
when we have found, them should be our
critics.
Mrs. Graham then spoke of the i'm
mense amount of current literature, of
the commercial or advertising spirit that
prompted many Of the reviews, the dif-
ference between publishers notices and
real reviews; the obstacles standing in
the way of the reviewers and the change
in individual criticism, as ones literary
taste and culture grows; Of the NOISY
public" that gives a book rYotoriety; the
popularity Of an author that places a
false market value on his work, and Of
newspaper criticism.
The speaker outlined what a review
shoul6 be like, distinguishing it from
mere advertising, or literary comment,
and the advantage of seeing the re-
viewers individuality through his work.
She compared French, English and
American reviewers and the mann er in
which each is regarded by the several
nations. She read extracts in illustra-

tence. He thought he would try to e:s-
cape the constahulary, and took another
route when discharged Aug. 1st He got
as far as AzuSa, and was arrested the
third time and sent up for thirty days.
At the expiration Of this sentence a wo-
man, prominent in w. c. T. U. work,
assisted him with money and he escaped
from the county.
The vagrancy case which has the
quickest action and represents more
fully perhaps than any other the ILL
luck which may befall a man who
stumbles over contables who make their
living out OF fees, is that of r. j. Wilson.
Wilson was convicted in Pasadena of
vagrancy and brought in by Deputy
Constable Wallace for five days on
Sept. 29th. On the Sd inst. he was dis
charged and three days later he was
back, having been brought in by Con-
stable Dowler OF Lancaster. He served
ten days. was discharged on the 18th.

ty $17.S5 in mileage, Sc in constable,s' ar

making total Of $32. SIS to arrest Wilson
three times, ard Wilson says he never
tried so hard in his life to get out of a
county as he die, out of Los Angeles
county. This appears to be borne ont
by the fact that he was arrested in a
different place each time.
Carl j. Ewing, who worked in a Los
Angeles cornice factory and went TO
Pasadena to look for work, was in thai
town only one day, as he says, when
Constable Slater rabbed him. He is Il

A story which has ludicrous as we'll
as serious public aspect, Isl one related
of Constable Slanker of Pomona. Slank-
er arrested a man ramed Anornelias in
Los Angeles for a crime alleged to have
occurred i'm Pomona. He took his pris-
oner to Pomona and. Anornelias was as-
mitted to bail in the sum of $780, An
orrelas wished to come back to Los An
geles. Hearing of this Slanker had An
ornelias, man awaiting trial on a
charge SO serious that $2500 was eXacted
as bail, bring man r,amed Chester Rob- |
insor to the county jail for him, to serve
a term for vagrancy. This occurred on
the 26th of July last.
Presumably the constables of Los An
geles county are watching the public |
roads in their bailiwicks so closely that
thew really haven't time IN n 6eliver nriS- |
