THE CONVENTIONS HEAD.

HE Republican convention showed good head in getting good head when it chose Neff for president
 1 No man commands in higher measure the confl- dence and esteem of the State. He IS an oflcer or the old guard, such man as Parks of Yuoa was ih his prime.
 When Neff says thing is so it is SO, and that ends it. With all the moral power of clean record and the advantage of an acquaintance in numbers and quality second to none enjoyed by any public man in the State it was not in the power of the combined anti Gage field to beat him for the charmanship of the convention
 It must be admitted in all fairness, that it the favor with which gentlemen like NeH looked upon Mr. Cages candidacy that commended 1t to the con vention His record has been perfectly independ- ent SO free from that fever of ambition which dement's men and turn politics into typhoid that others were ready to take his judgment and follow where he was willing to lead
 The convention could not possibly stray beyond public confidence with such guide and that it placed itself in position where its good faith cannot be doubted is due such expressions of its character and purpose as his election to the chairmanship.
 It IS a most notable certificate for candidate to carry the nomination and commission of convention organized by Jake Nef and the party is fortunate in the first formal act of its representative body
 It torrent of islanders to die in the throats of their utterers and wthers such as have already be- ouled the air If the pinto forces intend to make personal campaign. indicated by their organ they must revise their plans and go to judgment on the principles they profess. Having promulgated platforms which attack every institution of society and government and civilization they must fight it out with those who believe in representative govern men in the rights of property and the necessity of their judicial protection.
 The Republican party and its candidate will sup port the public credit the international dignity of the republic and the freside rights of the people.
 On these lines the campaign must be fought and not on personal innuendo and misrepresentation for the convention was SO begun, conducted and closed as to make this impossible and impolitic.

FUGITIVE WILLIE'S GARBAGE.

| LIEN the fact was made known that the circu- lXj ation of the Examiner in this city carried on largely through the garbage crematory, it was everywhere recognized that the practice entaed a drain upon the fast vanishing estate, which, small as it was the fugitive Mr. Hearst would or later have down. Such of the people there fore, take interest in the capers of the taker waited to see what going to happen.
 They did not have to wait long. It was soon noted that the Examiner circulation diminishing. Ac- cording the statements of the affidavit swear man of the Examiner itself the circulation reduced more than 5000 copies inside of two months That was something saved the garbage bill of the con cern, but 1t appears 1t was not enough.
 The Examiner maintains that its garbage should be burned at the expense of the public. In an editorial it stated yesterday: The cremation ot garbage public function that should be performed by the municipal government In the larger cities of the East and in Europe the refuse is collected from private houses and destroyed at public expense.
 The meaning of the movement of the taker IS plain The fugitive Hearst desires to impose upon the people the cost not only of the copies of the Examiner they may be deuded into buying, but also that of burning those he sends to the cremaory He would now like to have all his garbage unloaded upon the municipality, and eventually he will concoct a scheme to make the city buy his siren.
 The proposition put forth by the faker will be opposed by all taxpayers, but if it were amended so as to include the whole issue of the paper with all the plant and the siren in the general term of garbage the people would be well nigh unani nous in favor Of the project Let the fugitive Willie make clean sweep of his premises and send the en- tire outfit the crematory and the city will gladly pay the cost of the burning.

PREPARING FOR PARIS.

| IHILE the attention of the people gene \M rally has been directed to the events
 N of the war with Spain, the far-sighted leaders of and industry have not overlooked the need of preparing for a suit able exhibit of products at the coming exposition in Paris There has not been much public talk of the work in this direction but nevertheless great deal of work appears to have been accomplished
 According to the latest reports more than Goo ap- plications from Americans have been made for space at the exposition The fear once prevalent in Paris that the United States might not make full display has been changed to a fear that the exposition authorities will not be able to grant the room needed for the exhibit propose to make. It IS said that in order to meet as far as possible the demand that has been made upon him Commissioner Peck is to ask from the French officials 5ooooo square feet of space instead of the I5o,ooo originally set aside for American exhibits.
 The zeal displayed thus early in the work of prepar- ing for the exposition is another evidence of the energy and enterprise of our merchants and manu- lecturers. The war; so far from weakening in- dustrial and commercial impulses has stimulated them The value and the variety of our exports of manufactured goods have been long increasing, and by the great nations of the earth we now felt as the most potent of competitors in all lines of in dustry.
 This has been the inevitable outcome of our rapid development in manufacturing arts. With an expand ing output of products there is need for expand ing market. Commerce must keep pace with pro- ductve industry, industry will to be profit able It IS therefore matter of great importance to us to make at Paris exhibit of goods which will win the favor of consumers in all parts o the globe.
 IL is certain the great of people who visit Paris during the exposition will pay attention to the American exhibit than has been given to our exhibits at any previous display of the kind We cupy larger place in the commercial and industrial world than ever before and the has given us prestige in the domain of international politics Our displays will longer be overlooked at uni versal exposition by any class of people.
 Tn the Eastern States these things understood, and the people of that section preparing for the coming competition with the world at Paris. Cali forna should be equally alert.

The earth ire us and then goes down three inches. We do not see or feel it because it moves so slowly and evenly; fifteen setonds, per haps, for the lift, and as many more for the descent. And then the waves are so long-several miles between two crests- that everything about US rises and falls together; half of all London heaves up and settles down with a single breathing. These waves do not travel around the earth-they travel through the earth;

In looking for work, and after nearly losing his eyesight in the effort, he final ly heard by chance that a boy was wanted to tend the office of the Weather Bureau. which is situated on the top floor of the Mills building, to which place he repaired forthwith.

He felt no fatigue un- til after he had climbed the sixth flight and his movements of necessity became somewhat slower. At the eighth his courage commenced to fail him and he was on the point of turning back, but visions of that three-dollar-a-week posi- tion flashed through his mind and he stuck to his task like little man.

LOVES DREAM WRECKED

They were swinging in a hammock.
 He and she; Gentle winds were sweetly blowing
 Der the lea. He was strong and brave and handsome
 She sweet. And he kept the hammock going
 With his feet. Would you know the tale he told her,
 As they swung? An, 1t was the sweet, old story
 They were young Fen the leaves. 1t seemed, were bending
 Down to hear Those fair words that he was pouring
 In her ear. Fen the birds and gentle breezes
 Seemed to stay, Charmed by what that gallant lover
 Had to say. Unto her 1t seemed a lovely
 Waking dream. But. at length, she left the hammock
 With a scream. Tn trice her airy castle
 Was wreck She had found a caterpillar
 On her neck

that is one of the most important discov- cries we have made. If they were trans mitted in the earths crust around the circumference we should get two records for every earthquake-one coming the shortest way round, the other coming the longest way; for, of course, these. wave movements would be propagated in both directions. Waves through the air, TOT instance from volcanic explosions, al ways come to us both ways around the earth, the one being recorded after the other. We never get two records or earthquakes, we only get-one so we con- clude from this and other reasons. that the transmission is straight through the earth'

JAMAICAN PLEBlSCITE.

H ISPATCHES from Jamaica announce that | ] when the sugar conference assemblies at Bar I/ badoes in September to consider the interests of the sugar-growers of the British West Indies proposition will be submitted from Jamaica request ing permission from Parliament for the people of that island and of the British West Indian colonies gene rally to arrange for annexation to the United States.
 It Is stated the Jamaica people will endeavor at the conference to induce the other colonies to act with them in the proposed movement, but if they fail III that they will act alone. They have, 1t seems, ex- hausted all means of obtaining from Great Britain protection for their industry, have lost hope of ever getting such protection and desirous of separating themselves from the empire and becoming a part of the great American republic.
 The movement is the result of changes recently brought about in the sugar industry by the enormous increase in the output occasioned by bountes in Ger many and France and protection in the United States The sugar-planters of the British West Indies under free trade have found themselves ruined Parliament has long had their claims under consideration, but has not been able to find a way remedy their evil plight
 A duty foreign sugar entering Great Britain would help the West Indian colonies but all parties in Parliament welded to free trade and such proposition would be rejected Equally futile have been all suggestions of subsidies An attempt was made recently to induce France and Germany to abandon their bounty system, but nothing of it. At present, therefore, the sugar planters of Jamaica can see no escape from ruin except by annexation to the United States, where they would have the bene- fits of protection.
 The proposed pebscite may partake of the nature of bluff in some respects and be put forward to force the hands of Parliament. It is probable how ever the project is seriously entertained A British precedent for the surrender of the West Indian colo nes is be found in the surrender of the British pos sessions among the Ionian Islands to Greece some years ago. The proposition therefore might find favor in England itself It is consequently one that may become a question of practical politics with ourselves and we may yet the British well as the Span- ish West Indies among our colonial possessions
