THE 1.-TWO ROSES"

Tonight the Stewart opera company
will present at the Keylor Grand, the
Stanislaus STANCE Ludwig Englander
comedy opera 1.-The Two Roses. This
delightfully."- refined and strictly high
class opera is considered by many
to be the best offering of the Stewart
company. Certain it is that 1T was
one of the company's greatest sue
cesses in the east The presentation
here will be identically the same as
during the engagement at the Broad
way theater, New York city. The cos
tuning and mounting of the opera are
the most gorgeous and elaborate ever
seen in the west. The music is ex-
treemly, catchy and the story Is full
of brilliant lines and situations. The
solo and ensemble numbers are OF
the sort that fills one with the de-
sire for more. For daintiness, refine
ment and the uplifting of the atmos-
phere Of the operate stage, we heart
lily commend 1.-THE Two Roses"

that most of the Unions alleged REF
utation" was not even interviews, but
were positive declarations Of the pa
per backed up by those 'thlsehood''
heads-for which latter a newspaper
is certainly responsible.
And with the chairman Of the legis-
lative committee of the labor council,
right in the Union Office, as an en-
ploye, did the Union take any pains
to be "fair' by publishing the labor
councils side of it, either in inter-
views or statements?
1t could not do so because John H.
Pedigo was there to see that only the
saloon defense" was given.
And this condition will prevail at the
Union office until Senator Ankeny

we claim and exercise our own judg-

best. The victim-or beneficiary-of
such criticism will have no grievance,

Tortoise Lived for Four Centuries.
London Post.

A giant tortoise, believed to have
lived upward Of four centuries, re-
Gently died at the London Geological
gardens. The only clew to the age
of this creature lay in a half effaced
"16" cut into his shell, and supposed
to be the first two figures Of a 18th
century date. Perhaps some pirate
or castaway, in an idle moment, thus
marked the horny encasement Of the
sluggish beast. At any rate, this much
is known; toward the end of the 18th
century, Drake-as the tortoise was
named-was captured in the Galapa-
COS islands. The inhabitants Of those
regious then regarded him as a BIZ
centenarian. About a quarter of a
century after his capture he was taken
to England. Finally he was secured
for the Geological gardens.
His appetite was enormous. Lettuce
was his diet, and he devoured only the
hearts Of the plant. 1t is said he
could eat as much as an OK. Giant
tortoises are somewhat rare, and his
place will be hard to fill.

Lexington, KY, Dispatch.
Word has just been received mere
that Colonel Clifford E. Nadaud, Of the
governors staff will ship from Jeru-

of the River Jordan.
It is known that the colonel is presi-
dent of the International River Jor-
dan Water company, Incorporated,
but his friendships best friends-de-
cline to discuss his exploitation OF
water, hasten to absolve themselves
from any part of it.
No member of the governors staff
believes that the River Jordan water
should be drunk simply because it
comes from the Holy Land, no they
accept the explanation that the impor-
tation of Colonel Nadaud is to be en-
played for baptismal purposes.
The water will be sealed in casks
by the Turkish government under the
supervision of the Patriarch of Je-
rusalem, and will be bottled in the
United States.

JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES

The question "Are We a nation?"
used to have some practical signifi-
canoe in campaigns when the battle
of states rights was alive. Later it
passed into the care Of lyceums and
college debating societies. But i.
hobs up still occasionally when we
come in contact with foreign gov
ernments. 1t came up in the Italian
tragedy in New Orleans when the
Italian minister demanded compen-
sation for the outrage on subjects of
King Humbert and an expression of
regret for its occurrence, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
Secretary Blaine gave Baron Fava
the evidence of mis- most distinguished
regard and an expression of grief over
the incident, but he could not promise
compensation until the state Of Louis
lana had been heard from. This the
Italian ambassador could not under
stand and flew into such tropical rage
about it that Secretary Blaine snubbed
him severely. Fava demanded and re-
ceived his passports. But we did not
go to war with Italy. Louisiana and
the United States got together on the
matter and the relatives of the de-
ceased were handsomely treated none
tarily. Now the same kind Of Ques-
ton comes up with regard to the Jap
anese in the schools of San Francisco.
Japan is outraged, or pretends to be,
and appeals to the state department.
But it happens that the state depart
ment does not run the school system
of California. Japan pretends not to
understand this any more than did the
Italians the position of Louisiana in
the Malta matter. 1t may be doubted
whether Japan is at all mystified by
the situation. Her relations with the
coast states have been intimate and
her statesmen have had occasion to
study all the American laws relating
to foreigners.
If Japan, in stirring up a ruction
over this school matter, which is a
purely local concern, has any Interior
motive to make trouble and possibly
further any designs against our trade
in Manchuria, the government at
Washington will discover and know
how to deal with it. The relations
between japan and America ought to
be cordial and friendly. Our trade is
Of as much use to them as their is
to US. Our sympathy in the late war
was Of the utmost interest to Japan.
But Japan is a growing and ambitious
empire. She is also touchy in the
extreme and while our diplomacy has
ever been generous toward the orien-
tai nations, there are limits beyond
which no administration would care
to go in coddling eastern powers. Our
trade rights in Manchuria are equiva-
lent to those of Japan. It is not Jap
anese territory and we shall look
closely into any forced quarrels which
may be intended as the basis of our
practical exclusion from that trade.
