fiumlliating Episoie

The failure of the assembly to remove
Clerk Duckworth is one of the most hu-
initiating episodes in connection with
this whole pay roll scandal Without a
shadow of excuse so far as the require
ments of public business were concerned
and without authority of law, this man
wasted nearly $4,000 of the public money
in a single week. An yet after an in
vestigation tardily begun and conducted
with undue deliberation, he brazened
out his disgrace before the assembly
and secured the exoneration of that
body by quite a good majority. 1t is
true that DuckwOrth was not the only
guilty man; the mileage committee that
approved claims which were barefaced
pieces of boodling and the members who
helped load up the pay roll with use
less attaches to pay political debts,
share the responsibility with him. But
he was the chief offender and should
have been dealt with by prompt and
summary dismissal Democrats and
Populists united with Republicans in
whitewashing this barefaced steal, but
the odium of it must rest mainly with
the Republican party, which elected
Duckworth and was responsible for his
good conduct. The Republican assem-
blymen who voted to condone this Of
fense should be remembered by their
constituents.
To their party they have done an in
jury that will hamper it for years to
come and may lose 1t the next election.
If we fail to elect governor and secure
a United States senator in 1898, we shall
have these towards who voted for
Duckworth to thank for it.-Riverside

F. p. Fay of the Fay Fruit company,

them from any of their shipments. They

Adrien Loeb of Loeb. F'leishman & Co..

duce, 316 North Los Angeles street, said:
I'VE do not handle oranges in carload
lots, but have received large consign-
ments from the Los Angeles, Pasadena
and Fullerton districts. Have had no
trouble with our fruit. No complaints
reach us about keeping qualities. We
have heard some talk among growers
as to occasional spotted fruit, but they
did not worry about it. Do not think
the matter will prove Of serious conse-

Glen w. Hack of the Simpson & Hack
Fruit company Second and Los Angeles
streets, said:
while we are not large shippers of
oranges, we have made many shipments
and hear no complaints of the fruits be-

is not good. Do not think there is any
cause for alarm over the sun spots re-
ported on some of the fruit"

quay by launches. followed shortly after
by the French landing party. Then the
Austrian, Russian and Italian forces
put In an appearance and the scene be-
came highly picturesque.
The Mohammedans did not make any
demonstration. The British force con-
sisted entirely of marines and was met
by Consul-General Billotti and other
British officials. Some Turkish offic-
ers were present as we'll as the seventy
attaches of the French and Italian en-
bassies and ConstantinOple marines.
The sailors of the various nations then
marched to quarters prepared for them
by the authorities at the request of the
Italian admiral, the senior commanding
officer. The British forces occupy the
large buildings adjoining the telegraph
office. The great majority of the Mo-
hammedans were apparently pleased
with the occupation of the island by the
powers. Many of their leaders begged
that the occupation be extended to the
whole island. Only small minority
of the more fanatically disposedseemed
discontented. 1t was arranged that
the occupation of Heraklion and Retimo
should take place simultaneously if pos
sible. Without doubt the landing of
the troops will produce great effect
upon the Christians and tend to restore
peace. Muchavir Ishmael Bey, after
a conference with the military author

elected mayor of Canea.
REFORM SCHEME READY.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the house of
lords today, the marquis of Salisbury,
replying to the earl of Kimberly, the
Liberal leader, said that the scheme of
reforms in Crete had been arranged and
was being carried into effect, when the
Hellenic government, apparently forced
by the public opinion of its own sub
jects, intervened and sent troops and
ships into the Cretan waters.
The powers. the marquis continued,
maintain their opinion as to the utter
uIlWlSuOnF OI the acts WHICH nave OC-
Cured, and her majestys government,
he added, maintains the attitude it has
heretofore pursued in acting in concert
with the other powers.
The premier also said that the British
naval commanders had been instructed
not to take isolated action, but to act
in concert with the commanders Of the
fleets of the foreign powers.
In conclusion, the marquis of Sails
bury said that it would be manifestly
improper to divulge the nature of the
steps contemplated, but there was no
ground for thinking that the government
had any intention of departing from the
policy 1t has hitherto pursued.

DUCkW0RTH and THE EDITORS
WhiteWashei

Assembly Clerk Duckworths offense
has been condoned. The dismissal res
olution fell to the ground, as it was
known it would. How could any other
result be expected when the majority
of the Judges were in the same boat with
Duckworth. and to condemn him was to
condemn themselves?
There was another Glass who voted
against the dismissal-some Democrats
and PopulistS who believed it was Who'll
ly inconsistent to make a scapegoat of
Duckworth and let all the other misera-
BILE sinners who put the great army Of
drones on the payroll go scot free. We
notice, however, that our representative
Keegan and the Democratic leader of
the assembly, Caminetti, voted for ex-
pulsion. 1t is well for the state that the
farce is over; all the talk about was a
waste of time. The only jury who can
render an unbiased verdict in the Duck
worth outrage is the people of the state
of California, and they will be heard
from at the next election. In white
washing Duckworth the majority only
whitewashed, themselves. - Sonoma

A SALOON BURGLARIZED
Thieves Break 10 and Steal Money,
Cigars and Liquor
Entrance Effected Through Window Open
ing ON the sidewalk-The Proprietor
Was Watched

Burglars effected an entrance to the
Post-Keller saloon, situated in the base
ment at the corner Of Winston and Main
streets, some time during Sunday night
or yesterday morning, and made off with
what money they could find, several
boxes of cigars and a aquantity of liquors
Entrance was gained by prying open a
window which opened onto the sidewalk
and dropping down into the barroom.
The work was evidently done by some
one familiar with the place and the
methods of the proprietor, Fritz Guen-
ther. When he left for home he hid
what change was left in the place be-
hind small mirror which hung on the
wall. This was taken, showing that his
movements had been watched. The pO-
lice are working on the case but have
few clews for their guidance.

Monumental Nerve

One Duckworth, chief clerk of the as
sembly, has made himself immortal in
the political history of the state, for his
monumental nerve in filching from the
treasury, in the form of warrants issued
to mythical attaches of the body he had
the doubtful honor to organize. For his
bold stealing he has been abused from
one end Of the state to the other, and yet
his action may prove to be a blessing in
disguise, and we may be entertaining an
angel unawares, though, we must con-
TESS, one lacking in the essential at
tribute of purity. The fact that ma
jority of the members of the assembly
were so tainted with completely in the
steal that they dared not even censure
their tool, will open the eyes of the peo-
pie to the culpability of that august(O
body. However, we may congratulate
ourselves that the wide publicity given
Duckworth's peculations may have the
effect of preventing the legislature from
committing few stupendous steals on
their own account.-Ventura Free Press.

Such an opinion of danger to the cit

that published in yesterdays Herald
from such a source could not be ig-
nored. When the head of the agricul-
tural department at Berkeley, Prol H.
w. Hilgard, gave out such letter as
that published in the Examiner OF the

was inspired to follow it, it must have
been calculated to strike note OF

tions, but who have none the less It's
chief industry at heart
In order to thoroughly investigate
the foundations for such broadside
rumor. The Herald yesterday dispatch
cd messages to its correspondents In
the centers Of the orange districts, and
the answers given below Will certainly
allay any alarm.
The reports submitted are of double
value; they come from the mouths OF
both practical orchardists and scien-
tific experts.
The opinion that Prof. Pierce gives
The Herald's Santa Ana correspondent
is naturally conservative. The Riverside
correspondent is, however, authority for
the statement that Prof. Pierce Is al
ready positive that the malady is mel
ther a vegetable nor an animal para
site of any kind which is eminently
satisfactory intelligence.
Mr.. Edwards, whose letter to Prof.
Hilgard was published and commented
on in the San Francisco Examiner, is
at pains to point out that so far as he
is concerned only the actual letter is
authentic At Azuse, in which neigh
borhood according to present reports the
malady has been chiefly conspicuous,
1t is by no means general. and in some
parts of the Duarte belt has not been
observed.
In no single instance, either among
growers. buyers or packers, is there any
sign of anxiety. The testimony is given
of those who have observed the dis
coloration on the epidermis of the fruit
for two or three seasons. and it Is con-
fidently claimed that the malady is only
of an external character.

AMONG THH CITY DEALERS
e. T. Earl Does Not Believe the Harket Will
Re Affected


Be Affected
e. T. Earl of the Earl Fruit company.
31S West Third street, in reply to an
inquiry by Herald representative, said
yesterday:
1--WE cannot enlighten the public as
to the cause of the affection to oranges.
1t may be from the impoverishment of
the tree by previous drouth, or frost, or
action upon the fruit by the weather
while maturing. We are confident, how
over, that the appearance of the spots
upon the fruit is caused solely by cli-
matte conditions and that it does not
indicate any disease or permanent in
jury to the orange product. While we
have had some complaint from eastern
customers, we do not believe the market
will be affected.
Inquiry from several Of our agents in
Southern California leads us to think
the trouble is more local than general
and confined to low lying orchards. The
only complaint we have received is of
some fruit grown in the Riverside dis
trict When packed the fruit was per-
fectly clean in all cases, the spots ap-
pearing afterward. Doubling our east
ern correspondents in this regard, we
tested the matter and discovered the
truth. However, the California orange
is all right and we are making large
shipments"
NO COMPLAINTS
James H. Yerkes of Allen Bros. & Co.,
fruit packers, and shippers, 121 West
Third street. said:
1--WE have had no complaint from our
shipments of the orange product thus
far. We have not even seen any of the
so-called affected fruit But reports
reach us from men in the field, especially
in the Riverside section, that the brown
spots have appeared on the stem end
Of the fruit before shipment. It is not
caused by any insect or scale, but is
undoubtedly natural decay of impov-
erished fruit. We think it Is caused
partly by decreased vitality of the tree,
owing to previous FROST and partly to
the ripening of the fruit, which was six
weeks earlier this season than usual.
followed by unusually heavy rains. /
do not believe the affected fruit is gen.

1t only temporary trouble that will

information:
Eyes, we have seen oranges affected
in the manner described more or less
