ments of General Miles in manner
becoming an officer and gentleman
If he conceives that the General COM
manding has done him wrong, he
should have made his answer in a plain,
firm and dignified manner. This was
the way to give force 10 his answer.
But he has exhausted the vocabulary
of vituperation; he has used Spanish
words with which, evidently, he has
recently become acquainted, as sub
stitutes and equivalents for obscene ex-
pressions which he would not dare to
put into English.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Red Bluff News: A good deal has
been said recently about an attempt to
be made to pass an Act through the
Legislature to revive the old custom OF
imprisoning men for debt. The idea
was so absurd that we paid but little
attention, but it seems such thing is
seriously contemplated. We cannot be-
lieve that such an Act, however dis
guised it may be, will receive the seri-
Gus consideration of the Legislature
THE MESSAGE
Visalia Delta: Governor Cages mes
sage to the Legislature is surprising
document in that it says something
that has meaning to it. We don't re-
member to have read another like it.
It is also short and to the point. 1t
makes number Of excellent recon-
mendations, and shows that the new
Chief Executive has already a good
knowledge Of the States affairs. The
Governor notifies the Legislature in
| x~Jo IL %hot to trAovi111o
resolve to oppose all unjust and excess
i've appropriations, as well as other
improper measures, with firm veto.
WHEAT COMBINE.
Mail of Woodland: The present Leg
islature should pass a bill breaking up
the combination formed by the wheat
buying firms of San Francisco. The
farmers should demand that it be
DONE They have districted the State,
and each firm is given exclusive control
of a certain territory. Here is chance
for our representatives to make a hit
with their constituents.
FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Santa Rosa Republican: Some figures
have been given out in regard to ship
ments East last year Of fresh deciduous
fruits that are rather surprising. The
number of carloads is placed at 5,120
The shipments for 1897 are given as
5,323-a difference of only 200 carloads.
Unless these figures are away off, there
was much less difference in the ship
ments of the two years than has been
generally supposed. If the statement
is correct, 1854 carloads of pears,
1.1O3 carloads of peaches and 7Q6 car
loads of apples were sent East by rail
the past year. The apple shipments Of
the previous year are put at only 81
carloads

names Of forty-three prominent citi- Zens were affixed. Duplicate petitions are being circulated in Mesa and Tempe and the matter will likely come before the supervisors at their next meeting. The petition calls the attention of the board to a law which specifics that houses of i'll fame must be located distant from public build ings, hut the distance is left to the discretion of the supervisors. The pc titicn is as follows:
 ''We, the undersigned, citizens of Maricopa county, Arizona territory. petition the honorable board of super visors Of Maricopa county, to en- force the law enacted by the legisla- tilre, being Act s, Of the legislative assembly of 1891, relative to the sup pression Of houses of ill fame from the surroundings of public buildings.
