NAPA, June 5.-The most disastrous fire that has visited Napa in several years oc- cured here this morning at 3:3O o'clock

The blacksmith shop, laundry and dwelling were totally destroyed and the dwelling occupied by Israelsky was dam aged. Another dwelling adjoining Bradt's shop on Coombs street was damaged and was saved from destruction only by hay ing streams of water poured upon 1t until the adjoining buildings were in ruins.

 Volunteer Was Refused.

WALNUT CREEK, June 5.-It is stated here that Louis Livermore, who, with party of seven young men from Concord, went to San Francisco to en- list in the volunteer army, was rejected by the recruiting officer on account of his Spanish antecedents. His parents are natives of this country. There are many Mexican and Spanish people in this county who are as loyal to the flag of the United States as native-born people, and the rejectment of young Livermore is the subject of much com ment.

Stage Tendencies.

Persons interested in theatrical mat
wholesome plays like two which have
been presented i'm this city this week.
"Under the Red Robe" and "The Pris-
oner of Zenda"--still retain their hold
on public favor while there is some
indication that theatre-goers have be-
gun to feel surfeited with the filth and
vulgarity typified by such productions
as that given by Miss Della Fox in
The Little. Host" A reaction in the
direction of decency is inevitable unless
we accept the preposternus proposition
that a majority Of the men and women
who attend theatres are themselves de-
praved and want depravity served up
to them as a continuous diet.
1t is. of course, too much to expect
that every dramatic representation
shall be serious and strenuously elevat-
ing in character. The primary mission
of the stage IS to entertain, The great
majority Of those who patronize il do
so with the desire to be carried away
from the cares of life and permitted to
pass a brief vacation in the domain of
fancy. Variety in dramatic literature
is as necessary as it is in other forms
OF artistic creation. All minds are not
cast in the same mould nor are tastes
uniform.
Yet it would seem as If the time had
come for public intelligence TO assert
it's discomfort with vapid and nauso-
ating stage productions that neither
amuse, instruct nor confer profit upon
their patrons. The public has the CEN
sorship in its own keeping, II can
eliminate Vulgarity from the stage by
refusing to offer inducements for its
display. IT can reward the purveyors
of wholesome and refreshing dramatic
entertainment by substantial sncour-

Joe WHEELER" "


From the Pttsburg Times.
AS General Joseph Wheeler sees the
oNations which greet him wherever he

constantly accorded the mention of his
name he must wonder sometimes wheth-
or he Is the same "Joe" Wheeler that he
once thought he was; whether he Is the
same Joe Wheeler who n generation
ago was one of the beaten warriors of a
lost cause, who had forfeited his Citi-
zenship, and for whom there seemed to
be left no career I'm his native land. 1t
must be little difficult for him some
times to fully realize II all, and>he must
occasionally suspect that he has been sub
iected to the process of reincarnation. In
the end, however, he finds that he Is the
very same man. 1t Is the contrast in his
fortunes no doubt that attracts interest
and attention as much as his services,
great and Credtable as they have been.

AMERICAN TRADE VICTORIES.

From the Times-Herald,
The record Of experts for ;he first nine
months of the year furnishes striking
proof of our growing ascendency in the
markets of the old world. Along with
our conquest of new territory, as an incl
dent in the liberation of an oppressed
people, has come a commercial conquest
that promises to make our products SUI
preme in markets that have been con-
trolled for centuries by European ma
tions. While we were winning the vic
tories at Santiago and Manila the pro-
ducts of American farms and factories
were invading Europe, Asia and Africa
and winning the victories that have al
ways crowned American skill and work

have not erected BARRIERS against them,

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.


From the Philadelphia Press.
The slliest argument yet put forth
in opposition to the Nicaragua canal is
that being spread over the country by a
man in the employ of the Pacific rail-
roads. "The distance from Manila TO
New York via SucZ canal" this railroad
representative remarks. zig 1866 miles
and via Nicaragua canal IL 16l. That is
looked upon as a settler" but to remove
all doubt this wise attorney adds: The
distance from Manila to Lcndon via Suez
canal is $500 miles and via Nicaragua
1850" Surprising it is, has that any
thing to do with the matter? Are we to
build the canal for LCndon? And is New
York. on the eastern coast, the United
States?
Why not say that the distance from
San Francisco to Liverpool by water
now is 1850 miles, while by the Nicara-
qua canal it will be only 1894. Or that the
distance from San Francisco to New
York is now 'i,S40 miles, while under the
Nicaragua canal it will be only 1916. a
saving of 1884 miles. That means 81 Il
ton less on freight going and coming by
the canal and it means doubling practical
ly the strength or the United States navy.

HONEST, CLEAN AND WORTHY


From the Phlladclphla inquirer.
The Republican party in Pennsylvania
has nominated ticket that is honest
from top to bottom. 1t Is perfectly capa-
BILE of bringing about all the reforms that
are necessary. Colonel Stone as cover
nor would give us the same honest ad-
ministration that he has given us in con-
gress. The soldier boy who went to war
and vino throughout his public career
since has left a record which cannot ne
assailed, and upon which all the mud
batteries of the opposition have been un.
able to leave even as much as a stain,
would see to it that the honor and the
integrity Of his native state were pro-
teCted.
We can trust William A. Stone. We
can trust General Goblin. We can trust
every candidate on that ticket, and when
their election means the Endorsement of
Mckinley and all the aid that Pennsyl-
vania can give to the development and
the prosperity of the nation, then no man
who has the welfare of his country at
heart should be led astray by the mali
cious attacks of men whose personal en-
nifty would destroy even the nation S
honor to secure personal revenge.

National Aspects.

NJ meeting In Brooklyn on We'd
nesday night General Benjamin +.
Tracy, cX-secretary Of the navy. de-
livered u speech in support Of the
New York state ticket headed by The
odore Roosevelt which bears directly
upon the situation in Pennsylvania and
in every other state in the union where
political contest is pending. Said
he:
For the first time in our national
history We are engaged in a great
political contest pending a truce in
war, We are aboui to elect house of
representatives and one-third of our
senate. That election will either ap-
prove and indorse or condemn the pol
icy of the government that has thus
far carried on the war. The war is
not over. The fighting has ceased only
to enable the two nations involved to
determine whether they can success
fully negotiate a peace. But all Eu-
rope is watching with intense interest
the proceedings of the peace commits
sion now sitting in Paris, and no one
in this country is more solicitous as to
the outcome of the coming election
than Spain. She knows perfectly we'll
that if the country does not indorse
the policy of the administration that
has thus far conducted the war, it will
be considered it's condemnation. If the
war was now actually raging, if bat
ties were being fought pending this
election, no one would doubt that his
vote was to tell one way or the other
for the success or the failure of tha
war Eut the war. I repeat is not
ended. We are in state of war vet,
and we may be engaged even before
the coming election in actual hostili-
ties. Then it becomes us carefully to
consider what effect our vote at the
next clectior shall have upon the neGo-
tiations that are now proceeding.
"Spain's hope today is what it has
been from the beginninG-toreign in
tervention, When she found that there
was no immediate hope for foreign in
tervention she asked for truce; but
when she obtains that truce she is in
favor of postponing, delaying, nego-
tiating, hoping that something will
transpire to bring TO her aid the inter-
vention of one or more Of the nations
of Europe. ] ask on behalf of the
present administration that has thus
far conducted this war with a bril-
liancy unparalleled and a success un-
known in the history of the wars Of
the world up to this time, the con.
tinued confidence and support of the
American people"
The question is before the people of
Pennsylvania not less than before
those of New York whether this con-
tinued confidence and support shall be
given or withheld. The administration
cannot hope for the continuous con-
fidenCe and support of a Democratic
cratic party to defer to it indefinitely.
1t must have a party majority of its
own, ready to accept ana reinforce its
leadership ard provide the necessary
legislation for the working out of its
policies. II is inconceivable that the
people whose interests it has guarded
with such wonderful fidelity and sue
cess will permit factional jealousy and
local disagreements to encompass the
embarrassment Of the national gov
ernment.
