II truth is all powerful, as some
wise men assert, why is it that Err
ror is a plant of such vigorous
growth? Is it rot observable that
injustice is TOO often the conquerer,
that the good and true are trampled
like the flower? The Christian
Scientist attempts to solve the prob
lem by saying that error and pain
do not exist, they arc merely phe-
nomena, while philosophers of the
Schopenhauer School assert pain
is the most real thing in life; happi-
ness consists in good health, ab-
sence OF pain and boredom, with lit
tie property and money to annoy
you. The STANDARD knows of many
possessing the latter qualification.

CATCHING AT STRAws.-There is a
criminal case before the Supreme
Court in which the defendants law
yer claims his client was convicted
by an illegal jury, in that the men,
bers were interested in the convic-
ton of his client, because they were
taxpayers and felt the State would
pay the costs in case of conviction;
and further, the trial by jury men,
toned in the State constitution re-
fers to such jurors as to their quail
fications prescribed by the Territori-
al statute, when the constitution
went into effect. therefore the pres
ent jury law is &c post facto and
void. 1t looks as if the lawyer will
have difficulty in making the court
believe that the trainers OF the con-
stitutiOn intended to deprive the
Legislature of the power to pre-
scribe the qualifications of jurors.

ton. is about completed by the com
mittees having the matter in charge.
The distinctions between actionable

tinue as to the children. 1t is said
this law is favored by both employ
ers and employees. There is no law
like it on the statute books of any
State, and such legislation, if it shall
become effective, will be largely ex-
perimental. 1t is predicted it will

THE SUGAR TRUST

The sugar monopoly is now un-
der an Investigation by the depart
ment of justice. In this connec-
ton a lengthy article in Hampton's
magazine for March is interesting
reading. 1t takes up the tariff
fight of 1893 under Cleveland and
shows how Havemeyer handled
congress at a profit of $25,OOO,OOO
and how he worked the Mckinley
and the Dingley bills to lis liking
by the use of cold cash.
The April number will take up
the Payne-Aldrich bill and show
how the sugar trusts dominated
the sugar schedules in the present
congress. Henry o. Havemeyer
was a man of wonderful ability
and did business on the basis of
cold cash. Not only did he en-
gage in politics in the United
States but looked after Cuban
affairs. "When he wanted tariff
he arranged for it. When he
wanted no tariff, an obedient con-
gress responded to his WISH" says
Mr.. Welliver.
The sugar trust now owns $685.
800 acres of sugar lands in Cuba
LAG, 600 of which are in cane which
now produce 297, 900 tons of sugar
year and by treaty all of Cuban
sugar must come to the United
States for a market. Had Cuba
been annexed to the states it
would have destroyed the trust as
there would have been no tariff on
sugar after annexation.
Henry o. Havemeyer looked
after this and had the Teller reso-
luton promptly passed. 1t was
the trust that stirred up the revo-
luton in Cuba which forced the
United States to take hand there
to put down the instruction three
years ago.

CHANGED HIS MIND

DIR. c. II. Parkhurst tells the
following story:
One Sunday morning boy said
to his father, Father, | think l
will not go to church today Not
go to church? Well, what is the
matter?" Because | don't be-
lieve there is any God" THAT is
it, is il? Well, you come out with
me into the woodshed and l will
take that out of you dreadful
quick"
The doctor approves this method
Of conversion by saying:
"The father was right. His
treatment of the boy was drastic,
but it brought round the boy, or
rather it toned him up, strained
the cords SO that the fiabbiness
ceased and they began to hum.
1T was situation where strap
was more telling than catechism."

NO MORE FALSE HAIR

This very important news comes
from Paris; it is authentic news.
We publish it with full authority:
Fashion will Danish all false
hair from women's heads this COM
ing spring.
No more false hair will be worn
by women who want to be fashion
able, or by silly girls that ape
silly fashion.
Good news for the human race,
for the feeble pocketbook of the
working girl; good news for COM
mon sense, for the overheated,
tired head, and for all of those
who believe that Nature can make
something in the way of a head
that doesn't need to be improved
upon by hair cut from corpse.
Nothing is more repulsive, use
less, ugly and utterly without ex-
cuse than woman's stupid false
hair craze.-ChIcago American.

WESTERN COAL RESOURCES

The United States government
has recently completed reclassi-
tication of the public lands and in
connection Herewith has been
taking stock of the national re-
sources. One of the most impor-
tant of these resources is coal, and
it has been found that the avail
able supply of this most valuable
material is far greater than had
been supposed, especially in the
western states.
OF the eight states with the
largest coal supply 1--WE are located
west of the Missouri. North Da-
kota comes first of all the states
with an estimated coal supply OF
500 billion tons. Wyoming is sec.
ond with 424 billions. Our own
state of Colorado ranks third with
81 billions. Then follow Mon.
tana with 1903 billions, Illinois with
24O billions, West Virginia 23l
billions, Utah 1913 billions aid
Pennsylvania with 1873 billions.
Another surprise of recent years
is the discovery of the enormous
extent of the ALASKAN coal fields
We hope Uucle Sam will exer'
else little paternalism and moi
give all these rich coal lands
away.

A POSTAL. DEFICIT

Everything the government I'M
dertakes is done at a loss, and why
expect any profit in carrying the
mails? The government is paying
the railroads $4,SOO,OOO merely for
the rental of the cars used to carry
the mails. An additional SAG, OOO,-
600 is paid for the actual carrying
of the mails. The amount paid
for the rentals alone in two years
would buy the cars outright.
The largest deficit is on account
of the rural deliveries which would
pay if the carriers were allowed to
carry small parcels of express mat
ter. But this the express compa-
MES will not permit.
Since the large magazines and
and some of the radical press have
found 1t a popular thing to expose
the inside workings of the trusts
it has been discovered by the in
terests that this class of matter is
carried at loss and propose to
shut such matter out of the mails
by advancing the rate of postage.
But whenever the trusts attempt
to muzzle the press the country
will know it.

HAuEY'S COMET

Late measurements of Halley's
comet gives it's diameter to be
about 1880 miles or one and one
half times that of the earth. The
probable encounter between the
earth and the comets tail will be
May 18th at 10 a. IN. The tail Of
the comet is about IA, 100000 miles
in length and about 100000
miles in breadth. In addition to
Halleys' two other comets are due
70 pass through perihelion this
year. The first is known as TEN.

which should return sometime in

Hanging over the desk In the office
of Phil A. Stanton, who recently an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, is a
horseshoe which the former speaker
of the house at Sacramento stumbled
over in Spring street shortly after he

public. Stanton instantly recognized
good omen, and, picking up the shoe,
begrimed with the dirt of the street,
carried 1t to his desk in his cam
paign headquarters" and tackled it on
the wall. where 1t meets the eye of
every visitor. Stanton places great
confidence in the horseshoe winning
him the Republican nomination for
governor.
A committee of organization and
workers was organized yesterday at
the citizens campaign committee
headquarters, 424 South Broadway, to
boost the candidacy of Mr.. Stanton.
They were George /. Cochran, Brad
ner w. Lee, e. w. Murphy, j. f. Sar-
tori, w. +. Ball, E. b. Tufts, l.. j.
Spruance. William M. Garland, Dan
Murphy and T. e. Newhall. Plans
were laid for a campaign that will
reach throughout the state from San
Diego to Siskiyou. Prominent MEM
bers of the organization were ap-
pointed to go into the field and make
a personal visit to every city and town
in the state in the interest of Stanton
for governor.

WARNING OF SCHO0LB0Y
PREVENTS SERIOUS BLAZE
Student Sees Fire Start and Turns in
Alarm-PupiIs Calm Amid
Excitement

The quick work of a young student
at the Twenty ninth street school, who
detected a blaze in the rear room OF
the Paris-Pacific Dye works at 272l
San Pedro street and turned in an
alarm saved the place from being de-
stroyed and prevented other damage
to buildings in the immediate vicinity
The report that an explosion had
occurred in the neighborhood reached
the pupils at the Twenty-ninth street
school, which is short distance from
the dye works, and considerable ex-
citement prevailed for a few moments
The teachers, with great presence OF
mind, sounded the gong for fire drill
and the students formed in marching
order, and within one minute the en-
tire ten rooms were vacated.
In the meantime the fire department
appeared and extinguished the fire
with a hand chemical apparatus. The
blaze was due to an explosion of q
smll pan of gasoline, and that no one
was injured is due to the fact that the
employees were absent from the room
at the time.
