A CALIFORNIA MONOPOLY.

disastrous one of three years ago, it is prob

be biased by partiaty for Our own State and by
natural desire to see its interests advanced but no
such bias exists in the East and in that section be-
lief that Florida must seek other forms of industry is
as strong as it is here.
The New York Sun, for example, after pointing out
that the great destruction OF orange groves three
ago led about 40 per of the growers to abandon
the business, and that the cold has killed
all the orange trees in some of the most favored dis
tricts, says:
"The result of this new misfortune will be to in
crease the present tendency in Florida to substitute
other crops for oranges. Many ge-growers have
already turned their attention to other products and
have prospered They growing tobacco and hay,
and not few have gone into stock-raisng. More at
tention is given to pineapples, and though the
pineries were damaged by this cold wave, the loss

A LIAR GONE MAD.

= ,HOM the gods would destroy they first
M make mad is a proverb that has come
.. z down TO us from the wisdom OF antiquity
a 1housand instances have occurred at every stage OF
:-fc worlds progress to attest its truth sin long
nefsisted in becomes mania, the mania grows to
Inadness, and the madness destroys the wretch who
has given himself to sin.
4 new instance on a low scale indeed, but not the
less striking because of its depravity, has been tur-
njshed OF this truth in the development OF James
-CreeIman's lying from mania to madness which
implies an utter intellectual collapse.
The Examiner OF yesterday displayed in something
like circus poster type the first page dispatch
from Creelman declaring: Verbal messages from
Senator Hoar to the Fipinos sent through the rebel
agents at Washington, stirring up the natives to
continue the struggle against United States
authority"
Il is not to be supposed that any creature out OF
.faadhouse believes such story. Even in the Elk
aniner office itself it is doubtful there be any one
with so strong all affinity for lying TO give II Gre
derice while giving It grand display. Doubtless the
telegraph editor >neered he read It, and the conf
postor snickered as he up. In any other news
PAPER office in the country the stuff would have been
consigned TO the waste-basket. The editors OF the
Examiner. however, know what their boss likes, and
the lie which even in print seems to gibber with
luracy. went to I'LL the first page in display type
BY way OF adding little gliding to the lie the Ex-
-anlipef added what purported be dispatch from
Washington: That Senator Hoar sent message to
= tie Fipinos specifically urging them to revolt is not
credited It is believed, however, that his iniam
1atoIy remarks made prior the ratification OF the
treaty OF peace and since have been conveyed to the
FiEpinos who have assumed that they were intended
TO encourage them in fighting,
Ii is safe to assert that such dispatch was ever
sent from Washington; that no official in Washing
ton was ever asked il he thought Senator Hoar had
sent messages to the Filipinos; that OF any
:repute ever said thought that Senator Hoar made
infammatory speeches calculated to encourage the
Ffipin6s 10 attack the American forces in the
islands
= .Fhe whole thing from first to last the Washington
dispatch as we'll as the original Creemanisn, is one
OF those se-evdent lies that carries its refutation in
IFS very odor. Creelman is clearly a candidate for
luiiatic asylum His mania for lying has far de-
troyed his intellect that he has lost his cunning His
1alsehoods are now so that even the Examiner
has to cook them before offer them for its fool

Up in the attic where 1 slept
When l boy little boy,
In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
Bringing tide of dreams that swept
Over a low red trunde bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While the moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimpIes the Drowned cheek
When I boy, little boy
And. OH the dreams-the dreams dreamed
When was a boy, little boy
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over my folded eyeids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy
And to bring the glimpses of time to be
When manhood's clarion seemed to CALI
b, that the sweetest dream of all
When a boy, little boy!
I'd like to sleep where 1 used to sleep
When ] a boy, little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide of dreams TO sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint to-day

the one who determines its final form.
Any practical law on the subject could
only result, as ii has in France, in the
regular employment of a responsible
editor, who has nothing to do with what
goes into the paper, but undertakes to de-
fend whatever may appear against all
corners. He is fighting editor pure and

Seriously, this anti-newspaper crusade
is worse than mere bad joke. The leg

dency to introduce and even pass them

A Sacramento correspondent of San
Francisco newspaper tells exultingly or
the efforts of Senatorial gang trying to
win a vote by taking legislator to San
Francisco and putting him through q de-
bauch there. 1t is regarded as very
smart proceeding by the correspondent,
and the editorial page of that paper has
no condemnation of such politics. Per-
NIT us TO say that such proceedings are
Infamous and that California would be
better without Senator than to have
one chosen by such methods The poll
ticians resorting to such practices are do
ing most to disrupt the Republican party.
There are certainly good many decent
Republicans in the Legislature and they
should get together and rebuke the
schemes of the depraved and infamous
Santa Rosa Republican.

NEWS FROM MANlLA.

ID TT for the fact that the information OF Aguin-
E\:: aldos intention to naugurate massacre came
~ through official sources it would receive no
crederce This executive OF the Filipinos has shown
much: ability and discretion He has even made so
strong a profession OF patriotism to excite SYM
pathy.. Aside from the merits of his contentious,
many: have concluded him to be a brave man, and
some of his papers have displayed breadth OF mental
grasp most surprising when considered in connection
with his antecedents.
1t is true that he has been guilty of stupdtes,
as when he sent armed with bows to face the
fire Of American guns, or when he has assumed upon
power to intimidate this country but nevertheless,
to him is conceded many OF the qualities OF leader
The scheme of massacre not carried out, and
so he failed to work for himself that quick and de-
cisive disaster he had planned An indiscrinlinate
slaughter would have brought down the hostility of
every nation represented in the islands while Aguin
aldo ought to have enough to know that among
the nations and among the people of the United
States there is strong feeling that the forces now
there under Otis should be withdrawn as rapidly as
consistent with honor and dignity. But part OF
civilization would consent to the Philippines left
to the mercy of murderous rabble footing with the
sanction of the so called president.

less woman who essays to reform drunkard and
profligate by becoming wife to him is apt to repent
in sorrow Her task is hopeless one, and for her

II is simply fooshness
Recently San Francisco has had the benefit OF a
notable example, reformer, whose work was the
rescuing of the wrecks of the sums having reached
into the gutter and drawn therefrom a husband.
Whatever the intentions of the may have been,
he died drunk death of violence. His wife could
not restrain his tendency toward evil ways, and she
ought to have known it.
Marriage is so honorable an institution that to
into its obligations and keep the fact concealed
from the world argues that there is bad faith This
particular marriage of the contract variety,
and under the laws of California not marriage at
all, but an idle form. II marriage, openly con-
tracted with the sanction OF the state the church and
the family, has so often failed when adopted as
curative for degenerate morals how much GER

character not to be. revealed lest reproach come
upon the parties to the union?
If the woman still have confidence in her ability
to snatch brands from the burning by the process of
wedding them she ought at least take them openly
and not hide her action as though the motive had
been something not pure and lofty.

THE FOLLY OF WORKS.

The press received many hard blow at
the hands of some of the State Senators
yesterday while discussing the Works
bill. This bill is called the anti-cartoon
bill; it also really prohibits the printing
of portraits without the consent of the
person. In the discussion Simpson-tne
deserter of home camp-went all to pieces
and tried to offer some excuse for his ex-
istence.
A number Of good and substantial
speeches were made in support OF the
present law and against this proposed
folly.-Berkeley World-GaZette.

Is A FALSE ALARM.

IF Dan Burns were the great POLITICIAN
that his few friends claim him TO be he
would have tethered Senator Simpson out
in the brush rather than that the mis-
representative from Pasadena should cast
a vote for him in the condition that ne
did. The inability of Burns to make any
real Roadway in his Senatorial campaign

tician he is false alarm."-Les Angeles

Simpson should transfer his allegiance
from Bulla to Burns. While he had
pledged his honor to stick to Bulla, he
had evidently not been hired to do it.
