Sour ga Of Gn,ta Percha.

Gutta percha, like india rubber, is OBJ
and climbers The best is produced by a
tree, the Isonandra gutta, of the order
Sapotacee, which formerly abounded
at Singapore and in all Malaysia, but
which low tends to disappear under
the ravages committed by gatherers.
Gutta, in Malay, signifies gum or lime;
percha signifies scrap. Incisions are
made in the bark, as ON rubber trees,
and the liquor flows of perfect white
ness, darkening at contact of air. Coag-
ulation takes place spontaneously i'll a
short time. Like rubber, the liquid
forms film on top. This cream is re-
moved, kneaded into large lump and
pumped into boiling water. Under the
action of a high temperature 1t softens
and forms the cake usually found III
commerce. Other trees in Malaysia and
farther India, i'll Cambodia and Cochin
China, produce good gutta.
In Hindustan different grades ART
mixed by the natives. Chinese mer-
chants, in their depots, mix and manip'
ulate to give a good superficial appear
ance to the product, as the price is con
stantly advancing. As the gatherers al
so do not scruple to add vegetable de
bris earth or sand, it has become diff
cult to secure a pure article. An inferi
or quality is obtained from trees ant
| climbers in Africa and Madagascar
and, with the development of thos
countries, more may be expected. =

 The opposition to McCord is planning for another adjournment, alleging that additional affidavits are now on the way from Arizona to Washington. but will not reach here in time for the meeting tomorrow. Senator Kyle says it was understood that only matters connected with MeCord's career in Wisconsin were tO be considered. When they are gotten through with the investiga- lion will be at an end. The process of matching affidayits in Arizona, he added, had been brought to such a state of perfection, that if the pro ducts were to be all considered, the investigation would be carried be yond the present session,

Aen. osa.,r ar..a ssrr,

The grand jury ot Gila county, in submitting it's final report, touched upon an evil from which this terri tory is suffering, as follows:
 "Also in our capacity as grand jurors we desire to enteg a protest against the abuse of the parSloning power, as exercised by the present. governor of the territory and some of his predecessors in office. We find by reference to Governor Frank lin's report of pardous granted by him from April lS, 1896, when he assumed the discharge of his official duties, up to the close of the year 1896, he caused to De issued thirty pardous and communications of sentences to convicts in the terri torial prison. After considering the reasons stated by the governor for such executive clemency we are firmly of the opinion that 6 major ity of the pardons granted were Ill., advised and unwarrsnted. In many cases men convicted of heinOus crimes were pardoned when their terms of imprisonment were about to expire for the purpose, as stated. to restore citizenship. This peEni- ciOus practice, ws hold, cannot bo too severely cOndemned-for what reason is thsre to expect that per petrators ot infamous crimes can be clsansed of their moral depravity through human forgiveness and made good citizensf We cannot hope to maintain law and order in our communities if criminals are to be turned loose upon us and re- stored to all the immunities and privileges of the upright citizen. Furthermore, 1t should be borne in mind that laws are enacted, courts conducted and jails and pen etentAries are maintained at enor- nous expense in order that crime may be pat down and the law abfd- ing citizen protected in his prop erty and person. A proper regard for the welfare and good name of Arizona should deter the governor from the exercise of the pardoning power save in extreme cases where proof is furnished that the prisoner is innocent of the crime he was convicted.
 Petitions of citizens and court officials are generally relied upon to secure pardons, and often cited by the governor as 6 sufficient reason or excuse for granting clem- ency. We would suggest thss a far more reliable index of the prisoners guilt or innocence is the steno- graphsE's report giving verbatim the evidence adduced in the trial, and which should be mainly relied upon by the governor in passing upon applications for pardon.
