electric light system in the western end of
town was demoralized an unknown robber
hurled a piece Of rock, weighing AZ pounds
through the show window Of George
Dengler's shoe store, at 42s West Centre
street. He reached in the window by stand
ing on neighboring porch and seized a
cheap pair of mems shoes, and one ladies'
shoe with high heel and another with a
spring heel. The crash Of breaking glass
awoke Mr.. Dengler, who was sleeping in the
room above the store. He raised the window
just in time to see the robber flee with his
booty Owing to the darkness he was unable
to recognize the thief,

THE GOVERNOR ON BUGS.

IT HE veto of bill to appropriate $4,000 tor Sc
curing the introduction OF benign insects to prey
| upon the enemies of our vines and fruit trees
will not command the support of our horticultural
terests 1t is somewhat unfortunate that the verbage
of the bill seems to have left the Governor in doubt
whether the noxious insects be externinated
such as beset and beast or attack vegetables
only. slight extension of the executive knowledge
of entomology, even a reference to his own juvenile
experience, would have recalled to him the fact that
such insects prey upon are within easy reach
OF fine comb and the red oxide of mercury
If he will go back to the time when every orange
orchard of Southern California looked as if each tree
the evaporatng pipe of an artificial ice plant
bestudded were they with the white cottony cushion
scale he will be convinced that their salvation was not
within the reach of fine comb and red precipitae.
In this retrospect he will gain some knowledge of the
difference between the animal and vegetable king
doms when it comes to insects g.
The late Frank McCoppin was the means of send
ing to Southern California the Vedaa Australis, that
gentle ladybug with appetite for the white scale,
which cleared the orange orchards of Mr.. Cages sec
ton and saved it from bankruptcy. -
OF late if the Governor will read the papers, he will
learn that Continental Europe has suddenly cut off
growing and profitable trade in the dried fruits of
California because of the liability to inoculaton with
the Ban Jose SCALE an insect enemy OF orchards that
has wrought them evil than St Paul suffered at
the hands OF Alexander the coppersmith.
1t is matter that merely affects the market value
Of over two hundred million pounds of prunes and
other dried fruits, Entomology teaches that insect
tribes live on each other. The Vedaa .Australis
would not in any famine stress of weather do harm
to orange tree But when the sap thereof has fat
tened the cottony cushion SCALE the Wedaa invites
her friends dinner and that scale is the piece de
resistance So general is this law that it is perfectly
certain that in the home OF all these insect enemies of
California horticulture the Pacific islands, there is a
tribe waiting to take up against the San Jose
SCALE and the transportation of such an army of in
vasion is cheap AT $4,000
The Governor should visit San Jose or talk with
some of the Northern Caorhians engaged in de-
ciduous horticulture and learn that their interests are
not such deserve the indulgence of executive pleas
atry and refusal to distinguish between the scale and
common lice.
This State has millions embarked in fruit culture
but the climate which is kind to tree and vine
is clement also to the pests that prey upon them 1t
is be hoped that the Governor will not continue to
appear as attorney for the San Jose scale.

AN APPALLING RAID.

| N report presented to the Assembly on Monday
last the Committee on Ways and Means stated
that up to date appropriation bills had been re-
1erred to 1t proposing to dsburse the enormous sum
OF $3,oooooo, large number of these bills, judged
by their titles contain claims, others propose the
construction of monuments to our great men, the
building of roads through various counties, the i'm
provement OF public buildings, the purchase OF fur
nture for State officials and the enlargement and i'm
provement of the insane asyluns and prisons.
The committee has reported back a number of
the bills unfayoraby. These recommend the dis
btrsement ofiatotal of $II2ooo One bill, proposing
to establish Normal School in San Francisco and
carrying expenditure of $4,000, has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Education Another ap-
propriatng $I25ooo for the maintenance of the Pres
ton School of Industry has been withdrawn. But
the total before the Assembly is given as We have
stated it These figures however do not include the
regular biennial appropriations for the support of
the State government which for the two succeeding
fiscal years will probably aggregate $1o,oooooo.
Thus we havet presented@to financial prospect
that is simply appalling II the Legislature ap-
propriates one-haH the money which is contained in
these bills the tax rate for the y-frst and fifty
second fiscal years will come very near to being
+ 70 cents the $780,
1t would seem to a casual observer that measures
tor enforcing economy ought to be at naugur-
aed at Sacramento. The mere introduction of these
bills indicates that sentiment prevails among mem
bers entirely hostile to the taxpayers. Undoubtedly
every claim bill has good argument behind it. and
probably all the proposed appropriations can be sup
ported by knock-down facts But, nevertheless,
somebody ought to put on the brakes for the tax
paying classes survive no such raid as this The
State could easily be financially swamped during the
next two years by the passage of all these bills
Besides, to carry out this raid would send the Re-
publican party glimmerng No political organization
could stand the enactment of laws approprating
$15,ooo,ooo at one session of the Legislature The
disbursement of 100000 would be bad enough

AMERICAN IDEAS.

T-dtE bottom ideas Off our fabric of government
are the Declaration of INDEPENDENCE, the con-
sttution and the coptemporaneous expressions
of the Fathers of the republic, with Washington at
the head The Farewell Address of that greatest of
founders of nations is next in importance to the in
faithfully interprets We have before
quoted the expression of St. Chrysostom, "The true
Sheknah is man" This sentiment was the inspira-
tion of Our Revolution and of the institutions so
carefully formulated protect its results and to pro-
vide for our development in all future ages peo-
pie who lose reverence for the indestructble
Thought that underlies their history have lost their
self7respect and, cut loose from their anchorage
without helm ballast toss on the waves of crude
theories and underlined aspirations in which shallow
ness and selfshness predominate Their only hope
then lies in the ultimate repugnance of mankind to
quackery and fasehood and in the tendency to re-
vert to such great truths incorporated for in
stance, in political system. AS Carlyle has ex-
pressed it, THE confused wreck of things crumbing
and even crashing and tumbling all round us in these
farther. 1t is an eternal cornerstone from which
they can begin to build themselves UP again" But
how deplorabe spectacle it would be for nation
or a community to be undone and for the work of
rebuilding it to be necessated by ignorance, by pas
sion, by ambition or by cupidityl
The THOUGHT of Americar1ism and the
THOUGHT of imperialism will not harmonze They
can5nether be welded nor Incorporated One or the
other must prevail

OUR TRADE IN CHING.

IHILE Lord Charles Beresford in his inter
\x view with The Call declared his purpose in
~ visiting this country to be the requirement of
information from commercial bodies rather than
the expression of his views, he nevertheless, out
OF the funess of his knowledge of Oriental trade,
made many statements from which we can gather
profitable lessons.
In the course of his talk he said: American trade
and commerce is going up by leaps and bounds, but
there is no security for it and for future
development To give you an idea of American
trade, l state that during the last ten years the
Importation OF American cotton has increased in
quantity I2I per cent, and in value 5ok per cent.
English cotton has decreased in quantity 1871 per
cent and in value 5H per cent. English trading in
tetests do not suffer in China far as English mer-
chants are concerned because the English merchant
buys the American cotton and ships it to China in
British bottoms, where it is sold to the Chinese"
In this statement the notable point is that the large
percentage of increase IN the consumption of Kner-
can cotton in China does not imply corresponding
increase OF American trade direct with that country
because British merchants purchase the cotton and
ship it to China in British vessels. On all cotton
goods handled in that way the greater portion of the
profit of course goes to the British. Could any
stronger argument be put forth in favor of imme-
date extension OF merchant marine?
There is no reason in natural law why cotton pro-
duced in the United States should find its way to
China through the medium of British commerce.
With the modern methods of packing cotton it can
be handled cheaply by railroads, and cotton from our
Southern States ought therefore to be brought by
rail to San Francisco and shipped from here in Aeri-
can vessels to China only but to all Pacific Ocean
countries. That is the natural course of such trade
and it would be followed but for the excessive freight
rates of the railroads and the lack of we'll supported
American merchant marine the Pacific.
The recent energy displayed in the western extern
sion of the Santa Fe system promises the early es-
tabshment of a competitive system of transconti-
mental freights which will bring about reduction in
rates but that will be only half the battle The Brit
ish will still have the advantage Of merchant marine
literally supported by the Government and operated
with comparatively cheap labor for the wages of Brit
ish far below the standard paid on Aneri-
can ships Our merchant marine will never be able
to compete with that of European nations until the
Government gives it the same protection and sup
port accorded to other American industries The
moral of Lord Beresfords statement should be
needed by Congress when it comes to vote on the
shipping bill.

THE JOURNALISTIC GUNNER.

N his pursuit OF the newspapers Senator Morehouse
is developing talents which if directed into proper
channels might elevate him to a conspicuous
position in the history of his country He has intro
duced bill providing open season for newspaper
men-that is to say, he proposes that when news
paper killed by irate subscribers or indig
nant readers, the fact that there was published an
article calculated to anger anybody may be intro
duced in evidence in mitigation in justification of
the crime OF course the privileges extended by this
bill would not be developed entirely to the detriment
ci journalists Undoubtedly lawyers, politicians and
other citizens would suffer under it. for it is to
be supposed that newspaper men would tamely sub
nit to being shot down in their tracks every time
i. suited anybody nurse grievance against them.
But the radical defect in the BILL Senator More
house has discovered consists in the difficulty OF
identifying gentlemen OF the press. At the present
time journalism in California is large extent i'm
personal Writers do NOT sign their articles, but
everything is carried forward in the of the pro-
prietor at the head OF the editorial page In other
words, the proprietor supposed to be responsible
for everything published in the9paper.
Since, under Mr. Warehouses; bill, there would be
but one man kill, he has introduced measure de-
signed to the entire brood of unhappy jour
nalsts This bill requires the writer of every article
which criticizes or attacks to append his to it
ANY VINO 1dlS 10 nave SuCn articles signed
in his paper may be fined heavily for his aches.
This measure completes the system inaugurated by
the original open season bill 1t makes the identf-
cation of offending journalists easy and complete and
upon knowing who they are, aggrieved persons need
only call at the Office and inquire for them. Imme-
datey upon their appearance they may be shot down
with impunity, it being only necessary in order to
secure acquitta aerward prove in court that the
shooter was angry.
1t is really interesting that Senator Morehouse
Should have had his legislative ingenuity aroused by
the press. He not SO badtwo years ago, when he
had a grievance. Then the papers did their best to
make him famous and yet he rerained entirely from
introducing bill to regulate them. Now, when no
body is paying the slightest attention HMM fact
when his name is left entirely out of the papers and
when all the scrbblers regard him dead bird,
scarcely worth notcing-he is out with rifle and shot
gun, running down Journalists and inventing
measures for their immediate and general slaughter
We do not understand the line upon which the mind
of the honorable Senator is working.
