An old Indian woman visited a house
recently where child was dying OF dip
liberia. The doctor had given up the
little patient and the family was n.ourn-
fully waiting Tor the end. This native
daughter, the Indian walked up TO the
child's bed. Upon being told the doe
tors verdict she said, "You get carrot
quick" Only the mother, who was
ready to grasp at The faintest hope,
seemed disposed to grant her wish, and
sent for some carrots. The Indian
grated one, made poultice of it with
u little kerosene oil, and bound it
around the child's neck, who in short
time seemed to gain relief. a second
and third poultice were put on and
the child sank into a refreshing slumbar
and rapidly recovered to the astonish-
ment OF the physician who called ex-
pecting: to find the child uead. He
used it on several other diptherM pa
tients with the same happy result.

The Gardnerville Record says two fine
large horses belonging to Jacob Spring
meyer died Saturday and one more is at
this time lingering in the throes Of
death. The cause of their death is a
mystery to everyone and Mr.. Spring
meyer says that in thirty years expert
ence with horses, he has never seen a
similar case. The horses are taken sick
suddenly, then drop and lie passive un-
til life departs. None OF the usual
symptoms of collie or poisoning are
noticeable.

Wadsworth is in the transcontinental
path OF the hobo in his journey TO the
sunny south lands and we see tfese
tourists by the thousands, but of all the
swindling leggars il has been our lot to
meet in years, one brought IN by Deputy
Constable Gladding this week distances
all his fellows. His height was orer six.
feet, he weighed about 230 pounds with
seemingly no surplus flesh, and ahpef rd
to be about thirty years of age. He WAS
a splendid specimen OF what every man
would like to be physically, yet he was
a professional bum proving upon the
sympathy and pocketbooks OF a gnllahle
public so successfully as to supply hini-
self and three others with all the luxu-
ries the market affords in things good to
eat and drink, although at all times he
could discount distillerv in
the smell OF liquor. He was a
good talker and in his work his right
hand seemed shrivell-d but the officer
gave him smart tap at the point of iIlc
elbow which suddenly brought that
hand back to all its original beauty and
strength. 1t is astonishing that The peo-
pie of this town with all their expert
ence with this class Of vermin will con-
tinue to let themselves be hunhugge,l
and swindled out OF money and vicluals
by such filthy frauds.

SWINBURNE'S SONNET.

I is evident that British opinion needs some tonic
to stomach aggression the Transvaa. Her
bert Spencer and John Morley have voiced the
thoughtful dsapprova OF that element in British So
ciety which, after all has given to the Victorian era
greater glory than all its soldiers and its sailors
They stand there in the same moral and political at
titude as the American anti-imperalists and are
tainted as little Englishmen" But still they stand
for morality and principle and justice as against
blood-lust and greed To overcome their influence
it has been found necessary to discover and invest
some reason identified with patriotism and the lib
erty and the rights OF man, which are dear to the
British heart.
Two years ago, when state policy required rnur
der and outrage to protect the Indian frontier and
the independent tribes Of the Chitral had to be the
victims British opinion was soothed by calling the
trbesmen rebels and traitors though they had never
been under any OF subjection to British urisdic
ton. When they had been killed, their poor huts
burned and their hill country laid waste the English
conscience was quieted by the announcement that
the traitors Of the Chitral had been punished
But now the case is different The Transvaa1
affair cannot be dumped into the hopper as part Of
the white mans burden" and murder and criminal
aggression cannot be made to appear as a duty to
the black brown man. The Beers are civilized
OF older race and better blood than the British
Their ancestors were fighting for liberty at the bat
tie Of the Golden Spur when the British Isles were
not out OF the troglodyte stages of progress
They carried civilization into Africa in advance Of
Great Britain and had planted civil and religious in
stitutions there while England was so intent on rob
bing the treasure vaults of Hindoo Princes and de-
sroiling the Great Mogu that she hardly knew there
was such continent as Africa Therefore these ter
rible Beers must be lied about in verse and prose
misrepresented and abused. Kipling has done his
share to his discredt and his war song, which fits
the wolf 1nurdering the lamb for rolling his water
by drinking downstream exactly as it fits England
for making the Beers because they injure her

a PACIFIC COAST COMMISSIONER

y MONG the objects which the newly formed
| \ Traffic Association hopes TO accomplish IS
that OF bringing about the appointment OF d
member Of the Interstate Commerce Commission to
represent the Pacific Coast In some respects that
object IS the most important it has yet announced.
The contest against the scheme OF the St. Louis
association over freight rates is but a temporary
fight The victory will be OF but passing value to
either side for the loser will be almost to re-
the struggle the first opportunity, and all will
have TO be done over again. IT, however, We could
procure representative OF this coast upon the In
terstate Commission that would be lasting gain OF
great value in ways than one
It is we'll known that the Pacific Coast has not
been altogether fairly treated in governmental mat
tiers. The unfairness has not been due to any an
tagonism to US to interests but to the ignor-
ance OF Eastern people concerning the conditions oi
this part OF the Union and the inability OF the
age official at Washington to understand that we
have interests which not identical with those OF
the East and which, therefore, deserve all the more
careful consideration
Evidences OF the wrong done us in that way
occur in all departments OF governmental work.
The Commerce Commission is not alone to blame,
In the present tariff, for example the clause which
permits the President arrange reciprocity treaties
without further consent OF the Senate puts in the
list OF things which he can grant concessions many
articles which California products and not a
single staple article OF Eastern production SO the
appropriation bills almost invariably show far
greater consideration to small creeks in the East than
to rivers and harbors on this coast 1t is so all
along the line
We are ourselves much to blame in the matter be-
cause we have never made strenuous and we'll di-
rected efforts to protect ourselves have strong
representatives at the national capital We have not
reelected our Congressman with anything like the
steadfastness that should have done and every
delegation has contained considerable number OF
new men inexperienced at Washington and conse-
quenty without influence there. The effort now
made gain representative the Interstate Com
merce Commission may be something OF for1orn
hope, but it is worth trying, and it is to be hoped
the Traffic Association will find sufficient backing
to make that part OF its fight earnest persistent and
continuous until it is won.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

DRESIDENT JORDAN in introducing Pr7si-
- dent Wheeler Of Berkeley 70 the students a.
Stanford said the coming OF such man % the
presidency oi the State University s one q the most
fortunate things that ever happened to California,
and the tone and the spirit Of the address which
President Wheeler made 10 the Stanford men vii 90
far to incline all thoughtful Caio-n,aas 10 agree with
the sentiment.
The dominant thought OF the speech IS the su-
preme duty OF loyalty 10 the university 10 the State
TO the nation to the work in which men o. education
are engaged. Between Berkeley and Stanford there
IS and ought to be rivalry, but there should be
autagorism. The work done al the one institution
stimulates effort at the other and thus improves the
work there. Nor i OF the two great unversI-
ties only that he spoke in terms OF loyalty and re-
spect It is gratifying to note the earnest commen-
dation he gave to the smaller colleges in saying:
Just much as I believe in the differentiation in
athletics and studies believe in the differentiation
among colleges When men from the small col
leges come to me for graduate work I find they are
quite as well prepared as those from the larger uni
versities TO carry on any advanced work. So I dis
ike TO hear any one disparage the small or denon-
national colleges. Many would not be inter
esed in colleges at all If it had not been for their
relation through the churches"
We cannot have in California too much OF that
kind Of speaking. The antagonisms, the prejudces
and the secuonaiisns which prevail here have been
too long the chief theme Of the greater part Of our
oratory and our journalism. Rapid as has been the
advance Of the State in every phase OF civilization,
It would have been lar more rapid had there been
more potent spirit OF cooperation among the peo-
pie and fuller comprehension that loyalty to the
larger interests Of the State would not imply any
lack OF fidelity to local interests.
The man who comes to US to teach not the for
maIiss Of the philosophy Of the closet but the true
philosophy OF active life, and who sets the example
OF giving just praise and commendation wherever it
be due, who does not hesitate to ask Stanford men
to teach and to help Berkeley and who, speaking
as president OF Berkeley avows his warm interest in
Stanford, is indeed valuable addition to the ct-
zenship OF the State California needs such men
and has long needed them and it is to be accounted
gain to the commonwealth that in this instance we
obtain such teacher in a position from which he
can speak not only with eoquence but with the
prestige Of authority

business by rinding their own. has inspired Swim
burne TO crawl OF his retirement and put his pen
to libel in the form OF sonnet in which he calls
the Beers wolves" and dogs who when they pray
have foul tongues that "blacken Gods dishonored
name" Upon reading it one reaches the conclusion
that the British appetite be rather rank TO be
satisfied with such intellectual swil 1t written for
the jingoes and as they seek vrtuous excuse Tor
every vice 10 which Government can turn It will
satisfy them while it revolts the conscience OF Eng
land and the world. Il is putting poetry to bad
use when it Tits against the weak and righteous and
exalts the strong and unrighteous.
No country can long afford TO go forward in 4
course OF oppression and injustice against the con
science OF lis people. Our Government and that OF
Great Britain bent doing this now, but soon
all the Swinburnes and the Kiplings trilng together
will not hide the camor for national morality and
justice that viii be heard both sides OF the At

OUR FRUIT PRODUCTS.

ESTIMATES made by competent experts are to
the effect that the total revenues derived from
1" the orchards and vineyards OF the State this
year will be in the neighborhood OF SIS 1000 600,
being an increase over those OF last year OF upward
OF S35oo,ooo. The estimate is based upon calcu-
laon that the total output will be 1900 carloads Of
peaches at $I2oo per car 1000 carloads OF prunes At
500 per car; $50 carloads OF apricots for which
$1,000 would be low average; $500 carloads OF raj
sins, averaging $1,000 at least pears plums and nee
tarnes and that OF fruit $50 carloads averaging
$500 per car apples, perhaps $50 carloads at $500
per car.
A statement OF that kind is gratifying. It shows
the increase going in the fruit industry and the
vast magnitude which the output has already reached
Still it is not wholly satisfactory. The great bulk
OF fruit the finest in the world is sent to market
either fresh, or dried, or packed in tins Now, in
even the best OF these forms the fruit amounts 10
hardly more than raw material. In the meantime
there is wide demand for the finer grades of ieI-
lies marmalades preserves and all the hundred kinds
OF fruit conserves and conections Moreover our
Consuls tell there is large demand throughout
the Orient for fruits in glass since neither dried nor
timed fruits stand the climate. Why should we
ship nearly all our fruit material when by
manufacturing it to its highest form at home we
could not only diversity industry and give en-
poyment to labor but largely increase our
revenues?
The Governor OF Texas has called the capitalists
and the investors Of the country TO meet some two
thousand business men of Texas in convention TO
discuss the industrial development OF that State 1t
is the purpose Of the Texans to show enterprising
business men OF the North that raw material for
manufacturing be had more cheaply in that State
than in any other part OF the Union, and that the
facilities for shipping to all parts OF the world are
excellent. Why should California direct atten-
ton the possibilities that lie before the men Of
capital and energy who will work up all our fruit
into the forms in which it will command the best
prices in the best markets Of the world?
According to the estimates there will be $4,000 900
worth OF fruit sent out OF the State this year. and it
Is safe to say that considerable percentage OF it
will be worked again in the East or in EuroDe
and sold for three times what we get for it. It is
not improbable that of it may actually come
back to and be sold in our own groceries as
Scotch marmaade, London preserves or confections
from Paris. It almost certain that much of it will
be packed in glass in England and sent around 70
China and there sold under our very eyes for a big
ger profit than make in selling it in sacks or in
tins It is time for California to follow the example
OF the Southern States. Let us make known to in
vestors the wealth OF raw material and the
greater wealth that awaits those who will manu-
facture it into its most finished form
