The Garcia Trial

The trial of Pedro Garcia for the murder
of old man Collins at South Santa Monica
several months ago is proceeding slowly
and YEARLY in Department one. Pedro
Garcia thinks that his case looks favorable,
but he has no hesitation in saying that it
looks pretty black for his wife, Mary, who
did the actual killing. He still sticks 70
his story that she followed Collins out with
the axe, but that he had no premonition of
her intent.
Mary was brought forth from the county
Jail and called to the stand as a witness
for the defense in the afternoon. She
identified some blood stains on the quilt
from her bed, and said that they were the
result of natural causes, which occurred
IT. February of this year. Blood stains on
a ragged and dirty skirt was by her as
cribed to similar physical condition.

4 remarkable Enct.

1t is a remarkable fact that while
the Christian churches of the United
States are sending missionaries to the
far East to convert the people of the
land that vas the cradle of the Aryan
races, that same land is sending to this
country the philosophy that has there
been nursed and preserved for thou
sands of years, and its teachings are
finding adherents among the most en-
lightened of our Christians, who say
that it is nothing but more light shed
upon the teachings of the Great Mas
ter, whose principal and %oft-repeated
maxim is that only through the love
of humanity and the exercise of charity
and self-sacritice can the kingdom of
heaven be gained.
Every kind act toward your suffer-
ing or ignorant brother carries with it
its own reward, because it makes you
a better man.
Surely there is something divine in
the idea that a noble thought lives
on forever even if not uttered, and
that those noble thoughts and impulses
come to him who fits himself for their
reception through his own actions and
life, and as the thought is the begin
ming of all action so our lives are as
sisted by noble thought.

ALGER AND ROOSEVELT.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt is deservedly
one of the popular heroes of the war.
The volunteer cavalry regiment, known
as the Rough Riders, which he COM
mands, is one of the very best in the ser
vice. aud has shown itself in battle to be
splendidly effective. 1t is natural for the
commanding officer of a regiment to
think that his is absolutely the best, and
neither the public nor members of other
regiments will seriously object to any
commanding officer claiming superiority
for his men. ANY colonel of a good regi-
ment might well be pardOned for making
such a claim. In a personal and infor-
nal letter to Secretary Alger with refer
ence to the movement against Puerto
Rico Col. Roosevelt expressed the hope
that his Rough Riders would be among
those to go. aud said they were as good
as n regulars aud better tina any 9TH
er volunteers. He said 1000 of his
men-Col. Roosevelt now commands a
brigade of ~dismOunted cavalry-Who have
the very best of equipment and arms,
would be worth 10000 national guards
armed with black-powder Springtields
or other archaic weapons" which are the
kind that most of the state troops carry.
Roosevelt ought to be proud of his own
men-me certainly better armed than
are the other volunteer regiments. Evil
IDENTIFY Roosevelt did not intend to cast a
slur on the courage or other soldierly
qualities of the fire volunteer regiments,
for ne based his claim to superiority on
the excellent equipment of his men. But
Alger saw in the letter a chance to
rebuke and humiliate Roosevelt. He
wrote a curt reply enjoinlng Roosevelt
not to make invidious comparisons and
telling him that "the Rough Riders are
no better han other volunteers" Then
he gave both letters to the public.
After the extraordinary service which
Col. Roosevelt has rendered it was a
piece of pettiness for Secretary Alger
thus to take advantage of his first oppor-
tunity to rebuke and humiliate him pub
licly, putting a false construction on an
impulsive remark to try to make him an
object of dislike TO the other volunteers.
This was not noble on the part of the
secretary of war. One is tempted to be-
lieve the act was prompted by a feeling
of spite toward Roosevelt. Alger had
given the order that the troops at Santi-
ago should be removed to San Luis in
stead of being brought home. 1t was
principally due to Roosevelt that this
order was shown to be a grievous blum
der. Secretary Alger does not like to
have around him men who have the
courage to call attention to his incom-
petence. But he cannot conceal his in
competence from the public. 1t is not
RoOs evelt's fault that the volunteers
whom he does not command are badly
armed. That is Ayers fault. Roose-
welt is a superb soldier. Alger is a pee

Indian Fighters in Cuba.

The Indian warfare on the plains has
developed as gallant soldiers as can be
found in any army in the world. The
campaigns against the murderous
Sioux, Utes, Apaches and other hostiles
lacked the %pageantry and dazzle of
some wars, but they developed soldierly
qualities and made veterans equal to
the best in the world. Many of the
officers in the regular Grmy and a great
part of the men have seen active SER
vice against the redskins. They are
ready for an ambushed, tr~eacherous
foe. Their discipline. keenness, re-
sourcefulness and hardness splendidIy
qualify them for service in Cuba. They
were educated in the best school of the
soldiers, the Indian campaigns in the
West.

a BENEFIT TO BORROWERS.


1t is encouraging to see attention given
to the subject of more convenient credit
facilities for small borrowers. something
for which the American farmer has long
been clamorlng. The Advertisement sys-
TEN of farm mortgages is a step in this
direction. The plan is in imitation of
methods that have long prevailed in the
continental countries of Europe.
The plan is to make loans OF landed
security for rather long terms. Instead
of paying only the interest year by year,
and paying the entire principal of the
note at the time of expiration, a part of
the principal is paid each year. This
plan is one hat should especially com
mend itself to the small farmer who needs
money for the improvement of his prop
erty. lie usually needs a long time in
which to make payment, and yet in order
to be able to meet the principal when it
comes due he must lay by a little each
year. The ordinary farmer has not the
facilities for properly caring for his saw
ings. More than that the temptation is
to put oil preparation for a payment due
a long way in the future, and when the
principal falls due the person of small
income is likely to find himself unable to
meet 1t. Under the announcement plan,
similar to the sinking fund plan fire.
q%uently made use of by large corporate
debtors, the principal and interest are
both satisfied by a regular yearly pay
ment. For example, a person borrow
ing 81 200 at a 6 per cent interest rate
would have a $50 interest charge to meet
annually, and at the end of the period,
as loans are ordinarily made, he would
still owe the entire principal. Under the
Advertisement plan a regular annual pay
ment of SSH IS would wipe out the debt,
both principal and interest, at the end of
twenty years.
Borrowing under this plan would be
much better for the person of small and
comparatively steady income than the
method ordinarily followed in this
country. The small farmer can borrow
under this plan with much less fear that
he is going to lose his property at the ex-
piration of the time for which his loan
runs.-Chicago Record.

Spirit Of the Dress.


In a thoughtful and noteworthy ar
ticle ia the Nineteenth Century for July
Mr.. Benjamin Taylo groups and discus.
es the latest available statistics regard
ing the coal supplies of the world. He
remarks, at the beginning, that coal i.
not merely what Emerson called it, a
portable climate, but also the concen
trated essenc of power. While men are
roaming the world over in search Of gold
and economists are discussing theories
about silver, the real economic problem
of the future will be solved by neither
mineral. lit is the coal supply of the
world that will readiust the industrial
social and political relations of the ma
tons"
Mr.. Taylor's figures show plainly that
while Great Britain still holds the
supremacy in coal production, she is
losing ground relatively, and the sceptre
is likely to pass from her to the United
States.
In 1897 the coal product of Great
Britain reached the unprecedented total
of POP, 900, 900 tons. This was more than
the total production of all the rest of the
world-eXcept the United States. This
exception is an important one. however,
for the United States produced rs. 000.-
600 tons. During the twelve years from
1850 to 1897 the coal output of the United
Kingdom rose from l59, 000. 200 to POP
100000 tons, a gain of 43, 900. 900 tons.
During the same period, the United
&fQfQs rnen from 90 nnn nAn 70 = nnA nno
tons a gain of 5000. 900 tons, or almost
double the British increase. "At this
rate of progresssion,' Mr.. TAYLOR re-
marks, there is little root for doubt
that the United States will soon take our
place as the largest coal producer in the
world. And then America will become
our most formidable competitor in the
Atlantic, and possibly even in the Medi-
terranean coal trade. for it will be as
easy to repIenish many of the coaling
stations and some of the continental
ports from Newport News as from Car
diff"
The cost of production is an important
factor, and here, too, the United States
enjoys an advantage. OF seventeen coal
producing countries in Mr.. TaylOr's
tables, the United States stands second
in the low average cost of coal per ton at
the mine. British India is the only
country where coal is produced so cheap
ly as here, and the total product of
British India is only four and half
million tons. As compared with Great
Britain, the difference in our favor is
more than a shilling per ton. the average
in the United States being Is. Odd, and
in the United Kingdom Is. 104d.
These statistics will make a more than
ordinary impression in England at the
present time, when the prolonged coal
dispute in South Wales has checked in
dustry, and even necessitated an abandon
ment of the naval manoeuvres. Inciden-
tally, they suggest what a mighty com
bination, in its effect upon the worlds
history, an alliance of the United States
and Great Britain would be.-Boston
