TREAT ALL ALIKE

The best way to get an obnoxious
law repealed is TO enforce il. We do
not oeiieYe IN dead-let,er laws. but al
the same time we do not care to see
obnoxious laws enforced to the incon-
venience of the taxpayers until the
Legislature is in sight. We agree with
a morning paper that there should be
no discrimination, but why does our
contemporary. in referring 10 the Long
Branch raid, discriminate against the

NAMES OF REGIMENTS.
Memories Of Brave Deeds Preserved
in Military Nomenclature


The Eigth HuSsars-the Kings ROYAL
lrish-preserve the memory OF the brave
deeds OF their regiment by peculiar mode
Of wearing the sword belt Instead OF
being worn about the waist il is worn
over the right shoulder This is in com
memoration Of the gallant conduct OF the
regiment at the battle OF Saragossa. when
the belts Of the Spanish cavalry were cap
tured. The nickname OF Cross belts will
always stick 10 the regiment.
The officers and staff sergeants OF the
Welsh Fusiliers are allowed 10 have what
is called a fash on the back of the neck Of
Of the coats. The regiment used to wear
pigtsils until about the year 1907. and the
suppOsitiOn is that, having retained them
after other regiments had discarded them
they were allowed TO retain the flash on
the coat collar as a mark Of distinction
One regiment always wear white plumes
in their caps in memory of their gallantry
at St Lucia in 177S. The men plucked the
white feathers from the hats Of the French
men and put them in their own.

Mr.. Stevens explains that the boathouse

properly conducted, but he declares IL is
owned and operated by men who are un-
desirable neighbors. Therefore he recon-
mends that immediate steps be taken to

with unexpected popularity. Nearly 1000
books supplied TO the Washington General
PostOffice had been exhausted by II o'clock
this morning Many Of the customers pur-
chased the books IS souvenirs. but there is
no doubt that the convenience Of the issue

they viii be in constant demand.
Third Assistant Postmaster General Ed
win C. Madden stated this morning that
the sale had exceeded his expectation. and
that he was assured OF the popularity Of
the issue. lie said that while today there
were many buyers through curiosity he be-
lieved that the needs OF a large class had
been met He anticipated that the de-
mand would be greatest for the smaller
books containing twelve stamps and stated
that the supply placed on sale today was
entirely experimental, and had been sent
without reQuisiJion to the various Offices,
accompanied by TeQuisition blanks 20 be
used when the requirements OF each Otiics

He C,GugfruefPd

Large Number of War Vessels to
BE Constructed.
According Il a statement -eeeived at the
British Embassy from the home Govern
ment the folloving ships will be under con-
struction in the course of this year: Sew
enteen battleships. 20 armored cruiers, 1
frst-class protected cruiser. 2 second class
protected cruisers, 1 third-class cruiser. s
sloops, light draft gun boats, 4 torpedo
boats. q torpedo boat destroyers. 1 royal
yacht.
The estimated expenditure on new con-
structiOn for the coming year. exclusive of
establishment charges is less by 1896. .335
than the sum voted for the same purpose
in the present year. the figures being eS.-
460.146. against 1855. .4S1 for 1899-19OO,
but it is larger by e1.131,179 than the an
tcipated actual expenditure for this year,
namely, e7,32s.967. and if this larger sum
should be spent in 19e0-1901. it will repre-
sent al expenditure larger by more than q
million than has ever yet been reached.
The experience gained in recent years that.
after the most careful calculations as to
the probable earnings Of contractors for
hulls OF ships. machinery. and armor, the
expenditure for new construction has con-
tinually failed to reach the sum voted, has
been taken into account in framing the
estimate for 1900 1901
The report goes on 10 state that during
l659-l 1900, sixty ships have been or
VIII be completed. and that the following
ships are in hand: Anson, Camperdown.

Blanche. Spider, and Sparrow.
Regarding wireless telegraphy the re-
port says. The MaTconi system OF wire
less telegraphy was tried in the naval ma
neuvres Of 1899, and proved very success
tul so long as only one ship was signal
ing Signals were taken in successfully
az a distance of sixty miles.
Negotiations have been carried on be-
tween the British Government and the
Marcopi Company but the question Of
terms has not yet been settled. In the

He came to Shasta County shortly after

California. Like most soldiers of fortune
who have won and failed in the game Of
life under various skies. he has made and
lost many fortunes. Today his interests
are vested in mining claims whose future
dividends are uncertain.

editor Of the Anderson Enterprise" which
had a strong influence in the country until
Davis lost IL through mismanagement.
