THE BEAN INDUSTRY.

F. M. Frye of the Southern Pacific
furnishes some interesting statistics
upon the subject of beans, says the
Santa Barbara Press. The dry year
has benefited the bean growers in
this way: The old stock, of which
there was large quantity on hand,
will be cleaned out at good figures,
leaving an open market for coming
years. 1t will probably be a long time
before beans are as low as they were
in 1897: for, between the drought and
lesser acreage caused by the future use
of bean land for sugar beets, the crop
is never expected to reach the record
of 1896 and 1897. At the opening of
the season there were about 1900 car
loads on hand in this and Ventura
counties. The crop of 1897 had been
about 1000 carloads, estimating 3d.
900 pounds to the car, but prices were
so low that sales were not brisk. Be-
fore the certainty of dry year in
1898, beans were bringing from $1.35
to S1.45 per 100 pounds. Some recent
sales have reached $3.12 and $3.15 per
100 pounds. At greatly advanced
prices the surplus held by the fortu
nate farmers has been reduced from
1900 TO 400 or 500 cars now on hand,
mostly at Montalvo, Saticoy and HUI
eneme. This years crop will not
amount to more than 100 carloads,
and by the time the crop of 1899 is in
the warehouse, not an old bean will
be found in two counties. During Oc-
tober and November 5,402,362 pounds
of beans were shipped from this di-
vision

Gen. Greedy of the signal service, in
his annual report, announces what may
practically be called new system Of
telegraphy, whose commercial utility
promises to be of much value This
new and scientific method of tele-
graphy was discussed in last years
report under the title of "Synchrono-
graph" and was the subject Of expert
ments at Fort Monroe, Va. Since then
Prof. Albert G. Crehore and Lieut.
Col. George o. Squier have pursued
their Investigations, under the d1rec-
ton Of the chief signal officer of the
army, with gratifying results. The
officers named visited England for the
purpose Of testing the new method OF
sign-wave telegraphy by the use Of the
alternate current. In England they
were given every facility for expert
ment work over the government tele-
graph lines, and demonstrated that by
the new method words can be sent at
the rate of over 5000 a minute over q
line LOO miles long. By constructing
transmitters for commercial purposes
it Is expected that much greater speed
can be secured in cable service, mat
ter Of great value to the commercial
world.

The language Of diplomacy is always
restrained, but while the words are
carefully chosen so as to avoid unneces-
sary offense, every phrase has a definite
meaning. When Lord Rosebery was
prime minister in England there were
signs that France had set her eyes upon
the equatorial provinces in Africa from
which the Egyptian garrisons had been
withdrawn during the Soudan rebellion.
He authorized Sir Edward Grey to de-
clare, in 1895, that French advance to
the waters Of the Nile would be regard
ed by the British Government as ian
unfriendly act" In ordinary CONVEX
sation these three words would not be
emphasized by any stress Of voice, nor
would they ordinarily be accepted as a
warning. The man who protests in ad-
vance against an invasion of his rights
generally uses a stronger word than
''unfriendly." He refers to it as wan
ton outrage" or as "high-handed act
of hostility" What diplomacy means
by IAN unfriendly act' is an offense
committed by one Government against
another, which involves immediate
risks of war. When Sir Edward Grey's
warning was unheeded, and the French
flag was raised on the Upper Nile at
Fashoda three years afterward, there
was grave situation. France had COM
mitted an offense against England, and
was confronted by demand that Mar
chand should retire from Fashoda. The
terms of the demand implied forcible
action If it was not compiled with. Pres
ident Monroe, who was diplomatist
like his Secretary Of State, John Quincy
Adams, used the same word 'unfriend-
ly'' in proclaiming the famous doctrine
which bears his name. He declared that
any attempt on the part Of European
powers to interfere with or oppress the
Independent republics Of the American
continent, or to control their destiny,
could not be viewed "in any other light
than as a manifestation Of an unfriend-
ly disposition toward the United States"
The phrase seems mild and lacking in
emphasis. As diplomatists have under
stood the words, it has been strong and
definite. The Monroe doctrine, with the
warning implied by the single word
"unfriendly," has suhiced for seventy
five years to protect the Western Hemi-
sphere against European intrigue.

A LINCOLN BAS RELIEF.
1t May Adorn the Turret Of the Bat
tleship Illinois.


Abraham Lincoln in bas relief on a
tablet of bronze may adorn the turret
of the battleship Illinois. Former
Congressman, George E. Adams has
written to Governor Tanner asking
him to recommend to the legislature
an appropriation for memorial tab
let of that design.
Besides the figure of the martyred
president Mr.. Adams suggests that an
inscription be placed below with ex-
tracts from Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech.
Many of the states have appropria-
ted money for services or adornments
of memorial nature for the battle
ships that bear their names. Iowa
and Indiana furnished silver services
for the floating forts that bear their
names, and the legislature of Massa-
chnsetts has appropriated money for
a bronze tablet for the battleship of
that name. Mr.. Adams has written a
letter to the Massachusetts, executive
asking for description of the tablet.
He thinks that as the citizens Of
Illinois are to contribute a silver ser.
vice for the battleship the common
wealth should furnish something in
the nature of popular memorial.
The tablet would be placed on the for
ward turret. under the guns, in a
place where it would be as prominent
as the figure head at the PROV.

One Of the results of the late war be-
tween the United States and Spain will
most likely be the abolition of that
form of naval piracy which finds its
justification in prize courts. In the
military service of the civilized world
the principle Of looting conquered terri
tory has long since been abandoned.
Yet, through that strange contradiction
which has not reformed the navy in
the same ratio in which the army has
been brought under civilizing influ-
ences, not only did the merchant ves-
sells carrying contraband goods fall a
prey, but valuation on the warships
destroyed is bound to go to officers and
sailors of the ships engaged in the fight.

Saturday Evening Post: The in

Saturday Evening Post: The intro
duction of electricity in the street
railroad service has seriously in
jured two great American industries,
both closely related-the breeding Of
draft horses and the growing of hay.
1t Is computed that the trolley and ca
BILE cars have displaced 100000 horses
in the cities Of Philadelphia, Chicago,
New York, Baltimore, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati, Richmond and Toledo alone.
This means decrease in the consump-
ton of hay Of more than thirteen hun
dred tons per day. Other cities would
nearly treble these figures. In the de-
cade of 1880-1890 the hay crop Of the
United States nearly doubled; in the

The postoffice department is arrang-
ing for a considerable extension of
rural free delivery. The enlarged
appropriation for this purpose voted
at the last session of Congress
enables it to do so. Many CON-
munities which are anxious to share
the benefits of this service have
made known their wish to the depart
ment. The selection among them is
made with view to benefting the
largest number possible with the avail
able money. A law which went into
effect on the first Of July last permits
the use Of private mailing cards. Here
tofore the postal card by the Govern
ment was the only one allowed. Now
any one may put the address and a
one-cent stamp on any card of about
the same size, form and weight as the
postal card, and write message on the
other side Of the card. The Govern
ment will profit by the use of these
cards, for. it will save the cost of their
manufacture, while the senders will be
permitted to print on the message side
any business devices, or views Of seen
cry, such as travellers abroad like to
mail to their friends. A reform which
is to be hoped for is the introduction of
stout, Mnen-lined stamped envelopes in
which to send registered mail. Such
envelopes are in common use in Eu-
rope, and are found to be great con-
venience and much safer than our sys-
tenn Of putting the stamp of registra-
ton on an ordinary envelope.

Klondike and Australia the precious
metal is being shipped in large guam

output will be nearly double that of

sales of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

year that famous remedy will cure
