LET US HAVE ECONOMY.

1T is apparent now that California is to endure
| another dry year. There have been droughts be-
FORE but Our prospective experience is novel, in
that we are faced with drought extending two
years The field crop planters already resigned to
the situation and the deciduous and citrus orchard
lists wisely sacrificing, in the arid Districts
prospect OF crop in order to save their trees In
Southern California, where the Sweetwater and Bear
Valley reservoirs have dry, the orange and lemon
planters are cutting their trees back, eradcatng all
bearing wood and reducing the bark and foliage,
that the tree will live less moisture and be carried
over until normal rainfall is restored So every in
terest that can protect itself and wait is getting under
cover and under the circumstances the most unwel-
come visitor during the next bennium will be the
Tax Collector.
The Legislature should not forget this 1t is no
time for large appropriations to feed fads in State in
sttutons or support official positions. Every
household in the State is already settled down to
economies fitted to the conditions OF the drought.
Let the housekeeping OF the State likewise adjust it
self
The Governor has shown a cOmmendable spirit of
economy and has used his veto in that direction with
praseworthy impartality There many measures yet
pending which will need his attention, if they pass.
Some OF them create new Offices and salaries. 1t is
highly probable that one of these is the Oakland
Harbor Commission bill. There is grave doubt in
commercial circles in Oakland that such establish
1rent is needed or will pay back in any service the
burdensome tax on commerce required for its sup
port For reasons added to the waterfront litigation
and derived entirely from the commercial situation it
is evident that Oakland will in respect suffer if she
is not now loaded with this rather sumptuously sala-
red adjunct The sentiment OF the State government
should be no expenditure for ornamental or sent-
mental improvements, and salared offices,
except upon the planest demonstration OF their
cessity

THE BURNS FLOP.

~ MOTHER turn has occurred in the Burns
I | policy 1t is acute as to excite derlson and
j spDnlv the element of humor in this long and
ranidiv diving intrigue On Wednesday the purgng OF
Milton Green of contempt and his discharge by the
House was gall, wormwood, poke root and every
thing bitter and puckery to the Burns men, The ever
servceable Dbble who can always be relied on to
give good for bad action, IN that cheerful
spirit which meets an emergency in politics by calling
forgery a clerical and perjury poetic license,
had shouted himself into prismatc colors in behalf
OF the honor of the House He had asserted that to
purge Green was to disgrace the House. The Burns
touts invaded the floor and left the smell OF their
fingers in the buttonholes Of the members, and
ranted persuaded, blasphemed and implored to get
support for Dbbles anxiety that the House should
not disgrace itself. In that behalf nasty blows and
nastier words were exchanged, and Green was not
purged.
Within twenty-four hours the and its spirit
changed. Dibbe appeared in behalf OF purging
Green, and himself, good political apothecary fur
nished the purgative. One day before this had been
such deep disgrace OF the House that Dbble mourned
lest his good name should go into hectic decline if it
were done What was deadly sin Wednesday
was put among the beatitudes Thursday, and by
the
1t was an admonitory illustration OF the idea Of
principles of right and wrong, of the decent and in
decent held by Burns and his supporters. One day
act denounced by them in every term and phrase
of contempt and depreciation, and the next day, with
a cheek as blushless crocodie's, they father the
same act and carry it out.
With them the sole measure and standard is the
effect OF any act upon the candidacy OF Burns On
Wednesday they thought opposition to purging Green
would make votes for Burns, so they opposed and
put their opposition upon the high ground of prn-
T. 4I ,-4o+.o
OF the House. But all this brought votes for
Burns On the contrary it repeled some that seemed
inclined to come. Whereupon the
changed the lilies and languors OF virtue for the
and raptures of vice, and, with only sleep be-
tween, on Thursday did that which Wednesday
they had declared would disgrace the House and stain
it forever
The quiet people who watch what goes and
thank God it goes no worse will not fail to prop
erly anayze this change, and will hope that the
men will not close the session by trying to reseat

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S HEALTH.

z SENSATIONAL report sent out from Van
I \ couver few days ago to the effect that a
British officer his way home from Manila
had declared Admiral Dewey's health to be seriously
undermined has been promptly refuted from Wash
ington Government officials have received no nfor-
nation OF any illness of the Admiral nor OF any need
or desire on his part for rest On the contrary a
dispatch was received from him some time ago say
ing: Il it may not be necessary to order ME to
Washington Should very much regret to leave here
while matters remain in the present critical condi-
ton"
The promptness with which the refutation to the
alarming rumor has been given is gratifying At the
present time the sole danger point on the horizon Of
our national affairs is at Manila, and while the danger
even there is not great yet serious consequences
might result from any mlsmanagement of dealings
with the natives and the rights of European resi-
dents 1t is, therefore, desirable we should have in
command at that point wise well brave man,
for the successful solution of the problems involved
in the issues requires the of dipomatist as well
as the courage of warrior.
OF course no man is essential to the affairs OF a
great nation Out of the ranks of vigorous people
there fail to forth leaders to take the place
of those whom wounds sickness, old age or death
remove from command. Nevertheless the PERSONAL
ity of strong, sagacous man is always one of the
controlling factors in the history OF a nation and
whenever such is found in the right place at a
time when his country needs him anything which
threatens to force his retirement matter of serious
concern to all.
Admiral Dewey has proven himself to be exactly
the man whom we need at this uncture in the Orient
He has served several years that part of the world
and knows its problems and its people better than
the officials at Washington-better than any man we
can reasonably hope to find when the time comes to

a GOOD BILL.

THE Senate passed a bill the other day which
should be promptly enacted into law by the As
sembly We refer to the measure introduced by
Senator Braunhart and known to the legislative files
as Senate bill No 2o2. 1t is proposition to amend
sections 2o4 and EOS Of the Code of Civil Procedure
so as to change the method of drawing trial ures in
the Superior Courts Of the State. AS originally pre-
pared and introduced by Senator Braunhart its opera
ton was confined entirely to San Francisco but the
Senate considered the idea good that it enlarged its
application to the entire State
The amendments proposed relate mainly to the
process of selecting the OF those appointed to
serve as trial jurors. The Judges left to prepare
the lists present but rules set up which
quire more careful inspection OF persons and a
greater responsibility thrown upon the clerks of the
courts who are commanded to examine the lists and
report upon the personal characters of the proposed
jurors.
Another amendment provides that person shall
be obliged to trial juror for than
month in the year, unless longer service is de-
nlanded by trial for which he has been impaneled
Nor is any trial juror to serve more than five
causes during the term for which he may have been
selected and whenever a juror has served five
the clerk OF the court is required to strike his
name from the list 1t is thought that this latter pro-
vision by making jury duty easy will attract to the
box more reputable class of citizens or what is the
same thing remove some of their objections to
serving
1t is to be hoped that the Assembly will pass this
BILL if for no other reason than to give the sys
tenn trial Certainly the selection OF juries could
not be looser than is present and anything which
will throw around trials greater restrictions is in the
line of useful legislation.

BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES.

= OSCHEN'S speech to the Commons on in
PRODUCING the naval estimates for the year
- dealt with the proposed expenditure OF large
sums with such simple gravity OF manner that at
times it almost amusing. For example, he
gravey informed the Commons that the outlook tor
the British navy not reassurng because the United
States, Russia, France, Germany, Italy and japan
have under construction aggregate OF o85ooo tons
of warshps or 900 tons more than is contemplated
in the British estimates
The quiet assumption in this statement that things
are not reassuring unless Great Britain constructs
every year vessels than all the other great
nations of the globe with Japan thrown in, verges
very close on the humorous. The very gravity with
which the statesmen of the little island IN the North
Sea- located between the Irish Channel and the Ger-
Ocean, propose to go up against the whole world
when it comes to sea fight has in it something OF a
gasconade and is the more entertaining because not
intended for boast.
Mr.. Goschen, however, not humorous, nor was
he boastul. He quite in earnest. He would like
to see upon the ocean British navy powerful as
that OF all the OF the world combined and hndlng
the desire is not to be attained this year. he regards
the outlook as dubious and perceves nothing on the
horizon which he can point out to his countrymen as
reassurng.
Despite his somewhat respondent tone, however,
the Right Honorable gentleman, the First Lord OF
the Admiralty, had pretty good naval programme to
submit. 1t comprised in the aggregate an expendl-
ture for naval purposes during the coming year OF
f26 ooo or considerably more than $Ioo,ooo,ooo
OF course not all the amount is for ships Some IS
for new naval stations, and the Russians and the
Chinese will note with passing interest that something
like $I5ooo,ooo is to be expended in fitting up the
port of Wei-Hai-Wei, where, Mr. Goschen
pointed out there is a valuable anchorage"
In the meantime, since the naval outlook is not
assuring, her Majestys Government is heartily sec
ondng the peace proposals of the Gar The confer
ence will not cost much money as the naval es-
Inmates amount to- nor even much as the single
item OF the anchorage at WeHai-Wei. Perhaps the
British can find pleasing promise in that pros
pect 1t is safe to assert however they will none the
less adopt the naval bill without division and put
another penny the beer and the income tax and go
along grumbling, is their custom, because other
tions spend so much on their navies
