faster than the truth, it was a long time
before the excitement subsidized.
Now, the Manufacturers and Producers
association of California is sending out
circular copy of the law the miscon-
struction of which has caused so much
trouble. 1t reads as follows:
3247 Any person, committee, board
officer or any other person charged
with the purchase, or permitted or au-
thorized to purchase supplies, goods,
wares, merchandise, manufactures or
produce. for the use of the state, or of
any of its institutions or offices, or for
the use of any county or consolidated
city and county, or city or town, shall
always. price, fitness and quality equal,
prefer such supplies, goods, wares, mer-
chandise, manufactures or produce as
has been grown. manufactured or pro-
duced In this state, and shall next pre-
fer such as has been partially so manu-
featured. grown or produced in this
state.
All state, county, city and county,
city or town officers, all boards, COM
missions, or other persons charged
with advertising for any such supplies
shall state in their advertisements that
such preferences will be made. In any
such advertisement no bid shall be
asked for any article of a specific
brand or mark, nor any patent appar-
atus or appliances when such require
ment would prevent proper competition
on the part of dealers in other articles
of equal value, utility or merit.
1t will be seen at once that there are
no good grounds for complaint on the
part of producers and jobbers outside. the
state. Every loyal community and state
gives the preference to its own products,
quality and price being equal. The Man
ufacturers and Producers association is
late afield with its circular, but it is to be
hoped that its efforts will have the wished

TEACHERS SALARIES

There is said to be considerable un-
Of this city, owing to a rumor that has
gained currency to the effect that sala-
ries are to be reduced for the next school
year. Inquiry by The Herald shows the
following to be the situation:
The board of education will meet this
month for the purpose of fixing salaries
for the coming year, as is its annual GUS
tom. The data and estimates upon which
the action of the board will be based have
not as yet been completed therefore, it
is not in a position to say whether sala
ries will be raised, reduced, or left as at
present, because the members them
selves do not know. Any statement at
the present time that salaries are to be
reduced is unwarranted.
The Herald hopes that the board will
not find it necessary to reduce the sala-
res of the teachers, who are by no means
paid extravagant salaries. The teachers
unquestionably earn every cent they get.
1t should rot be forgotten that the teach
ers suffered monthly reduction of S. al
year ago, and that they have not for
several years received tho benefit of the
full ten months work prescribed by law.
Another reduction would undoubtedly re-
suit in the loss of the services of many
experienced and successful teachers.
| Whatever the board would like to do,
it will have to act according to the means
and resources available. There appears
to be no occasion for serious alarm, to
judge from the reassuring interview with
Director Brady, printed yesterday by The.
| Herald.

1t is scarcely creditable to the con-
ductors of the war that the nation.should
have been kept in suspense for a week
regarding the whereabouts of the hostile
fleet when the truth could have beer
determined in an hour by the use of
balloons or automatic photographing
kites. 1t is all the more humiliating in
view of the fact that Cervera has been
employing these devices in locating the
squadrons of Sampson and Schley.

Tons of Bullion

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-Fifteen tons
of silver bullion, valued at 100000, has
been transferred from the Carson City mint
TO the mint in this city. The bullion Is the
balance on hand from purchases made at
Carson under the act of 1890, and If orders
to that effect are received, 1t can be coined
in thirty days. The transfer was made
because coinage has been suspended at
Carson, the mint there now being simply
an assay office. The mint here is now COIN
ing small denominations of silver, under
instructions received last week from WASH

the best terms possible, using the same old
logic for all the offices they want to keep
that their nominees cannot be pulled
down.
All this talk, therefore, Of the middle
of-the-roaders having control of the state
committee is in my opinion, nonsense. This
July convention is one part of an agreed
plan known to all the leaders of the Pop
ulist party. That the Populists propose to
nominate a straight ticket and afterwards
to negotiate for fusion by pulling down
their nominees has already been made pub
lie by their party leaders through the col
umns of the press and otherwise. They
want 1t known they would like fusion, but
they do not want to make definite ar
engagements until they have matters in
shape to suit themselves. Sabe v?
1t may therefore be taken as settled that
there will be no fusion by division of the
offices prior to the nominating conven-
tons The truth is the Populists do not
want this kind of fusion, nor do they want
the Democrats to hold their state conven-

convention later and the later the better
The action of the Democratic state COM

and Silver Republicans, as shall be agreed
upon by the two parties.
The second plan is one which entirely ig-
nores the leaders in the Populist party who

Queen Christina.

The most pathetic figure in the Span
ish tragedy now playing before the
world is that of the queen regent, She
is rather the helpless victim than the
agent of the tremendous forces which
arc rending her adopted country. She
became the consort of Alfonso MI
with some reluctance but has filed the
role of royal wife and mother admira
bly,. In every sense this Austrian lady
commanded the esteem of the world as
high minded and noble woman. Since
necessity made her queen regent her po-
liticai tact in dealing with the difficult
ties or government so far as they were
presented TO her, in reconciling the al
most irreconcilable difficulties of fac
tions, has been no less notable. 1t is
now well known that, so far as Queen
Christina dared at the opening of the
Spanish American difficulty, she favor
ed peace even at a sacrifice. Yet patriot
ism and prudence combined to make her
accord with the passionate pride of the
Spanish people. Again and again since
the situation assumed more desperate
phase this royal lady has declared her
self willing to retire from the regency,
to do anything short of sacrificing the
rights and interests Of her son, il there
by she could remove an obstacle which
would lead to peace. Hopeless of Span
ish success all her predictions have
been for prompt and prudent settle
ment before American arms should
make the ultimate price that fatal
pound of flesh cut from over the
heart She is the puppet and playthipg
of destiny, with but little if any control
over the factors OF the situation. Yet
her position makes her the innocent
scapegoat of misfortune, though she has
had no hereditary responsibility for the
blunders and sins Of centuries now cul.
minating to their penalty.

tivities of other lands has been peculiar.

Ger Cne incident which shows the man

some of them as powerful men as ever
saw. Forr or five of them went ashore

1hreo OF them were men who would
singly have been more than match in
strength for John L. Sullivan. The or
der was given to put them in irons, and
1t was found Impossible to carry out the
order, FOR the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified OF the situation. He
was writing letter in his room ut the
time
lie went to tho rlace where these
giants were and he told them to come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to IN
orderly, Bring me my revolvers, and
when he had his pistols he again called
upon the men to come out. Iut they did
not move. Then he said. Il am going to
count three. If you are not out here
with your hands held up ON the third
count, you won't come out of that place
alive.
HE counted one, then he cooked the
revolvers, and he counted two. We all
expected to hear the report, for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said The
men knew it too. They stepped out just
III time to save their lives and held up
their hands, and they had Leen partial
ly sobered by their fright and the moral
effect of Dewey's glance.
"One of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be dead Jackie

and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was in his
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter he was writing. -
