the pitch of believing that if he were
defeated it would be prima facie evil

overthrow of the Republic. The words
of his message are strikingly similar to
those used by much more distin-

three years ago, when the news of the
assassination of President Lincoln

great was the excitement and tumult
that riot was feared, when General
Garfield, then a member of Congress,
who happened to be in the city and
guest at one of the leading hotels, was
called upon for speech. Stepping out
upon a balcony and facing the great
throng clamoring to hear him, he
raised his right hand impressively and,
with the words "God reigns and the
government at Washington still lives"
began brief address which quoted the
excited thousands who listened to him
with upturned faces, and persuaded
them to 60 their ways in peace and

Omcial Figures from the Sugar Factory
Commodities Used.
n. r. COttman, manager of the sugar
factory at Chino, has prepared the follow
ing figures for the Times, showing the
great work accomplished in the past few
months. Among the commodities used
at the factory were 1912 tons beets, 49,
OC 1000 pounds molasses, 10000 yards
filter cloth, 5000 gallons Of lubricants,
81 900 barrels petroleum, 400 tons coke,
1850 tors lime rock, 5000 tons burned
low, 235, 900 jute bags, Ok, 600 cotton sugar
bags, 80, 700 pounds acids, 5000 files, 800
slicing knives, 200 brooms. 1000 pounds
Irvine, 1850 sugar barrels; $4,000 was
spent for repairs and maintenance OF the
plant since the last campaign. Following
were the purchases of beets: Chino,
$2l2, 40; Anaheim, $4,000; Buena Park,
SIS. 800; points not included in above and
outside Of Chino ranch, $l9,72O; total,
$4,000.
The payroll for factory labor averaged
about 81 900 per day. There were no
serious accidents, and the machinery
worked remarkably smoothly from the
start. Though the campaign lasted 1853
fore, very few men left before the end Of
the campaign, and almost all remained
on duly until the last day, showing that
they are becoming accustomed to the
work, and that it is not now trying upon
them. A number of men will be kept on
for fortnight more to do all the clean
ing up at once. and the plant will be
ready to lay by in January.
Manager COttnan announces that ar
rangements have been made for making
December ~ final pay day. instead of
January p. This is done to enable the
farmers to have their money before the
holidays. On that date the payments.will
amount to about 10000.

1.-THE Country Gentleman" the old
est and ablest agricultural journal in
the United States, a consolidation o:
1.-THE Genesee Farmer" 1881 to 1889,
and "The Cultivator," 1884 to 1865,
comes out with a new heading with
its issue of Jan. 6, from which the name
"Cultivator" is dropped. Its readers,
who number thousands Of the most in
telligent and progressive farmers of the
country, will soon become accustomed
to the change and will not be disposed
to criticize the wisdom of making it,
inasmuch as there is not the least like
lihood that the publishers intend it to
indicate any change in the character
or scope of the publication. The adj
vance subscription price has also been
reduced to $500 year. There is seldom,
if ever, an issue published from which
any progressive farmer, stockman or
dairyman cannot obtain ideas and in
formation which he should easily be
able to make Of much more value to
him than the papers annual cost.
Here in this far off corner of the coun.
try we are glad to give it this little
voluntary notice Of commentator,
and to suggest that farmers who are
not acquainted with it and know q
good thing when they see it, send to
the publishers, Luther Tucker & Son,
Albany, N. Y, for sam pie copy.

SATURDAY, the 22d inst, will be the
Chinese New Years day and the su-
perstitious celestials are shaking in
their shoes because of the information
that the sun will "hide his face" from
them, in eclipse, that day. Even the
emperor seems to regard it as an omen
of dire disaster, for he issued a decree
weeks ago directing the omission of the
usual festivities and ceremonies of re-
joicing, and expressed the fear that
there may have been something in his
own conduct to call down the Divine
displeasure. And this was before the
Russians and the Germans had taken
possession Of important strategic points
upon the Chinese coast, it is quite
likely that the emperor is more than
ever convinced that the God of Ma
tions is displeased with him and with
his people,

The 0facial Paper Of San Juan County
THU RSDAY, JANUARY 10th, 1898.

THE assumption that the enforce
ment of what is called the SUNDAY
,avu can be carried to such an extreme
AS to prevent steamboats, from oDtaih-
ino wood at the wharves here on Sum
dav is little better than ridiculous.
There is no more reason why steam
boats. or other boats, should not come
and 20 as freely here or elsewhere III
the county now than there was before
the commissioners specifically directed
the enforcement of section 211 OF the
penal code, which says: at shall be
unlawful for any person or persons OF
this state to open on Sunday Tor the
purpose of trade or sale OF goods, wares
and merchandise, any shop, store or
building, or place of business what
ever; provided, that this section shall
apply to hotels only so far as the sale OF
intoxicating liquors is concerned, and
shall not apply :to drug stores, livery
stables or undertakers." In some states
there are laws which prevent the rum
ming of passenger trains or steamboats,
ON Sundays, but there is no such law
in this state and it cannot reasonably be
assumed for a moment that the legisla-
ture which enacted the Sunday law"
had the least idea that any such con-
struction would be put upon it as that
contended for by Mr.. Douglas in the
complaint made before Justice Larson
last Monday. In this connection it is
we'll to bear in mind that the law is
legislative enactment and not mere
order of the board of commissioners,
and that neither they nor other county
officers have any discretionary author
ity as to its enforcement. Section 2l2
of the penal code expressly makes it
the duty of "any and all public officers
of this state" who know of any viola
tons of the law, to make complaint to
the nearest Justice of the peace, and if
they "refuse or willfully neglect to do
so they shall be deemed guilty of q
misdemeanor and liable to fine OF not
less than $25 or more than $780," and.
more than that, if convicted, the court
before which they are tried "shall de-
clare the office or appointment held by
such officer vacant for the remainder
of his term" There is less cause for
complaint that the law is now enforced
than there is for wonder that its en-
forcement has been so long delayed.
The officers are doing nothing more
nor less than their duty.

opinion as to the heed OF pension re-
forms, as there is no reason for charg-
ing that the general demand for such
reforms from any hostility to deserving
veterans of the great war which ended

whose survivors and their families a

ly sums far in excess of the enormous
expenditures of the leading European
nations for the maintenance of their
great standing armies. Eighteen years
ago, in 1879, the annual expenditure
for pensions by the United States was
$50, 100000. BY 1889 the amount had
grown to SS7 900, 900, by 1892 to 1884,
OO0, 700, by 1897 to 139, O,0O0. This
sum is three times the ANNUAL cost of
the army, including river and barber
improvements, forts, arsenals and sea-
coast defences; four times the cost of
the navy, including the construction of
the bulls and machinery of new YES
sells, their armament and equipment
and the maintenance of navy yards;
ten times the cost of the Indian service;
twice the cost of the entire civil estab-
lishment, and one-third Of the total ex-
penditures of the government of the
United States. Out of !, lie, 600 surviv-
ors Of the Union army and navy in the
war of the rebellion, 733, 442, or 63
67-1OO per cent, are already on the PEN
sion rolls. The liberality of our coun-
try toward it's defenders has no parallel
among the nations of the world.

foothold in the "New World" having
finally lost all semblance of her sway
with the overthrow and Punishment of
good old Emperor Dom Pedro, of Bra

rolls the Amazon became a republic.
Russia peaceably Withdrew with the
sale of Alaska; France repurchased the
immense Louisiana territory from
Spain in 1900, but sold it to the United
States three years later when Napoleon
was hard pressed for money and feared
that the vast territory might otherwise
fall into the hands of the English; the
Netherlands and Denmark have the

they did a century ago, and the Brit
