[ THE STATE AT BUFFALO. ve made the long journey to the Pan-American Exposition. Those who have are proud of the great space tted to this State and of the expert nd splendid manner in which it has been filled. Cali- ans who were in Paris last year could not find the ficial exhibit. As far as the visiting seople of the world were concerned California might ave not been there at all. It was merely a general tone and tolor of the exposition, hout individuality and impossible to separate from mass in which it was merged. This is not the e at Buffalo. There the State is a unit, an indi- nd its exhibit represents faithfully all of its nd varied resources. It is not necessary for Californians to make the to see s intended for the eyes of those vho ought to be in California, and for those who iee in our great exhibit an opportunity to do profit- ble business in handling our produc The State 3oard of Trade and Mr. William H. Mills, in co- speration in making and arranging the exhibit, under- tood wel naking of an ex It is.news to thousands in the East that we pro- fuce almonds and English walnuts. When they ask te in the o s well sart of th it ibout these they can find out the volume of their pro- | luction, the parts of the State where they flourish, the «e at which the trezs come to bearing, the method »f harvesting ahd preparing the nuts for market, and d] information that fixes the subject in the mind of he inquirer, so that hereafter when he cracks an al- nond or a walnut California occurs to him, and the sweet nut becomes an advertiser of the State. We use almonds and walnuts as an illustration of he method by which the visitors to our exhibit are nformed in detail upon every subject about which | hey inquire, from mining to fishing. It is this which gives value to an exhibit. Questions are answered by srinted matter and orally. If any one think that he :an make a printed description so complete that noth- ng remains unanswered he is greatly mistaken. A document giving full information about the making »f an orchard from the first start to the first harvest was supposed to answer everything. An intelligent sbserver read it through and asked, “Do you fence rour orchards?” Being told that we do he asked at snce, “Which do you find the cheaper, wire or lum- ser?” It happened that he got the correct answer. Per- 22ps to many that very question of fencing is vital | n determining whether they will seek a home in Cali- ornia. All this shows that the value of an exhibit jes greatly in the exhibitor, who must be able to ex- Alain it intelligently to the spectators. This is what our official exhibit at Paris acked, and lacked because it was impossible to ex- slain an exhibit that was scattered in small fragments ‘hroughout the vast collection of things, merged as sarticles of pigment are into the color on a wall. The aperior advantages of the collective method pursied ¢ Buffalo will disincline this State to ever spend an- sther dollar on a diffusive and undescribed, scattered and useless exhibit. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, writ- ng from Rome, states that within two days after the ecent birth of 3 daughter in the royal family King Tictor received from his people over 21,000 congratu- story telegrams and upward of 20,000 petitions for a hare in the expected distribution of birthday money. \fter that the King can hardly doubt that his people re warmly interested in himself and his children.

He represents every possible revolting thing that can be in politics. He is the gangrene of public affairs. Without presence, education, propriety of life, re putable occupation, or anything that commends one man to another, if he be successful now the party will take him for better or for worse, and will not find an opportunity in the future for dropping him. It is now or never. The forces opposed to him are not in a corner nor under a mask. They are led by men who have civic pride and the welfare of the party at heart. They are governed by principle, and are Republicans because they believe in the party and what it stands Not a Republican in this city believes that Martin Kelly is such a Republican, or a Republican at all from any consideration of principle. He is simply what all men know him to be—a boss)who deals and dickers in politics. controls a small and compact body of mercenaries, and throws their vote to either party at will, as a consideration paid for by those whom he supports. Let it not be forgotten by Republicans who wish to win the government of this city in order to administer it in the interest of the peaple, that the last Republican can- didate for Mayor was beaten because he was betrayed into an interview with Martin He was a man of purity and uprightness of character who would have scorned a bargain with Kelly or any one else, and if elected he would have given the city a fault- less administration. Yet he was beaten for speaking to Martin Kelly. and then reflect what will be the result if the whole party deliberately votes itself into ring to make capital out of the opposition, to the boss. of the Republican press of the city. They are around advising men that it is a good time to get even with the newspapers, and Martin Kelly a good man to use in the process.

The Call- has no more interest in Republican purity and decency and suc- cess than has any single member of the party. What we have said in advocacy of a re- spectable leadership for the party is only what every whole-hearted Republican has said. The only difference is that a newspaper commands wider publicity than an individual. Those who talk about getting even are not able to injure the newspapers. They are only tiying to get even with the element of decency and purity in the Republican party. The newspapers did not create that element. It is in existence in the nature of things. It is the Republican boast that the party has in its ranks a full share of the cleanness, such a party, with its eyes wide open and aware of what it is doing, shall deliber- !

At the Coroner’s inquest all the facts were brought out except one—not a single witness could remember who got the “whiskyskin.” | The public, it seems, is to be left in something of | the same ignorance concerning the essential point in | the controversy between Rear Admiral Robley D. | Evans and ex-Secretary Chandler. In his recently | published book, “A Sailor’s Log,” Evans charged that | he had been mistreated by Chandler when that retired | statesman was Secretary of the Navy. He says he was | transferred from his position on the Advisory Board | to be Lighthouse Inspector in the Fifth District; that | while there he was asked to appoint as lightkeeper a { man who had been a delegate to a political convention { and had performed ices which he and his bosses thought should be rewarded. Evans deemed him in- \comp(’tcnt and would rot pass him. | In his book the rear admiral, after telling the | story, goes on to say: OME years ago there was a very popular humor- ous poem going the rounds of the press which described in vivid language a row that took place Report was made to the Secretary of ‘the Navy that | 1 was interfering with the political conditions in the | Fifth District, and, without asking a word of explana- tion from me, I was punished by being relieved and ‘pl:\rfld on nalfp; * ¢ * ¢ Finding myself on the | beach, as it were, because T would not take a hand in | | politics, rather than because I had done so, and know- | ing that T would not have employment again during the time of the administration then in power, I asked for leave for a year, with permission to leave the United States. In the absence of the Sccretary of the Navy the request was granted, and I was busy making my prep- arations to enjoy it when a telegram came from the Secretary revoking my leave and again placing me on Wwaiting orders. 1 was really of much more importance than I had considered myself, and I must be made to feel my punishment. However, I had felt the sting of insects before in my life and did not consider them of much importance. Having read the story as told by Evans; Chandler complained to the Navy Department that such lan- guage from an officer of the navy concerning a former Secretary of the Navy was derogatory to the service. | His complaint has been acted upon and the rear ad- | miral has been censured. The letter of censure says: | “The text of your book it js not necessary here to ! recite. Nor is it needful to ask of you an explanation { why you felt yourself justified in publishing what you |have. * * * You are infogmed®that this deliberate publication of yours has justly incurred the displeasure of the department. For an officer thus to attack the former head of the Navy Department because of orders given to him by that official is to abandon the courtesy that should always characterize an officer of the navy.” Dispatches from Washington say: “It is the under- standing at the Navy Department that the action taken closes the incident.” So there is to be no examination into the facts. We are never to know which side has | told the truth, or whether Chandler is an insect or not. | Sinee somebody has thought it worth while to tele- graph to this country that the Crown Prince of Ger- {many takes two lessons a week on the violin let us {be pleased with the news and trust that the young man will succeed in fitting himself for the vaudeville stage and be able to do as many kinds of stunts as his father. It is reported that Schwab of the Steel Trust has promised to deliver a series of lectures this winter on “How to Succeed,” so the story that he is receiving $1,000,000 a year can hardly be true. No man with that salary would have to take to lecturing.

Sir Thomas Lipton has lost none of the popularity he gained in this country when he made his first effort to lift the America’s cup, and therefore in the rivalry that will attend the coming races there will be nothing but good feeling oh both sides. The new challenger has impressed the New York- ers favorably. The dispatches'say: “One glance was sufficient to convince the experts that Watson has built 2 much handsomer boat that the old Shamrock. She looks the fastest boat ever turned out in British waters.” In one respect the coming race will be disappoint- ing. The trial races have by no means proven that Shamrock II is a better boat than Shamrock I, or that the new defender, the Constitution, is any better than the Columbia. In fact, it has been repeatedly said that the Constitution has disappointed her man- agers. After the trial races between the two some vachting experts said that if it were necessary to choose a boat to meet the new challenger on the record made in the trials the Columbia would have to be chosen. These doubts raised by the comparatively bad show- ing made by the rivals in their respective trials with the contestants in the former race naturally put some- thing of a.damper on popular enthusiasm. The pub- lic cannot be sure that either country has put its best boat in the race. When once the races begin, however, we are not likely to hear much of these doubts. The public mind will take note of nothing but the fact that ohce more the yachtsmen of Great Britain are trying to carry off from this country the greatest sporting trophy of the world, and have brought over what in their judgment is the best boat they have, while our yachtsmen have done their best to build a boat that will beat her. The trial races, with all their disappointments on both sides, are over. Now comes the contest of the cham- pions. Sometimes of course the unexpected happens, but this time it looks as if the usual thing would be repeated and another triumph scored by American yacht-builders and sailors. rm——————rr— Sir William MacCormack, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, is reported to have stated in a recent address that the character of gunshot wounds received in battle has completely changed during the last thirty years, and are by no means so often fatal as they were. In accounting for the change he said “the improved weapon is not so efficient as the old weapon,” which is doubtless the right way to put the case, but an improvement which tends to inefficiency sounds funny. 3 A recent description of the barbaric splendors of the Russian court says that in the imperial palace at St. Petersburg many of the kitchen utensils are of solid gold, among them being a fish pan worth $5000. The chief cook gets a salary of $50,000 a year. Having all that at his disposal it is a pify the Czar suffers from indigestion and cannot enjoy his dinner. A gang of Albany gamblers raided the police sta- tion of the town a few days ago and took what they pleased from the place. It might not be a bad idea for the progressive citizens of the town to induce some of the gamblers to join the police force. John Winters, the thief of Selby’s, will enjoy a unique distinction in the history of American crime. He is both knave and fool, and, unfortunately for him- self, a little more of the latter than of the former.

WASHINGTON COTTAGE, KNOWN AS TWO,” IS TO BE TORN DOWN, AND A MARBLE STRUCTURE IS TO MBER “WHITE HOUSE N o OR half a century the United States has provided its Presidents with an imposing official residence in the shape of the White House, and also with a more modest official retreat, a rambling, antique country cottage. lo- cated in the National Soldiers’ Home, two miles north of Washington. It is the only country home officially provided for our Presidents, and since the time of Lincoln it has been at the disposal of each Chief Magistrate. Now it is to be torn down. It is an obstacle in the path of the improvements contemplated at the home. The plans for the demoli- tion of the cottage and the erection of an imposing marble hall upon the site await the signature of the Secretary of War. Pressure is being brought to bear upon him not to sign the paper which will re- tire into oblivion one of the most inter- esting sights around Washington. finally approving of the plan it is hoped that President McKinley will Interfere. and as the home is the official country residence of the Presidents of the United States—the only one, too—there is a pros- pect that the President will not sanction the proposed change. The cottage was originally erected in 1810 by George Washington Riggs, one of the first citizens of Washington. After the Mexican War General Winfield Scott returned with his victorious army, and among the spoils of war brought from the Mexican capital was the sum of $70.- 000 in gold, exacted by General Scott from General Santa Anna as indemnity for the firing on an American flag of truce by the Mexicans. General Scott offered it to Con- DENOUNCES MONEY POWER AND 3 Before, -+ gress, but Congress was averse to accept- | ing it. The War Department was content | but | to let General Scott keep the money this the general would not do. he solved the problem by personal chasing the Riggs estate and converting it into 2 National Soldlers’ Home. The Riggs cottage was turned over to President Lincoln during the summer of 1861. The President was so charmed with the spot that he moved his family from the White House and occupied the cottage each summer until the end. The tage was christened “The President’s tage” at first, but by Lincoln’s own di- rection it was then named after General Anderson of Fort Sumter, and is still of- fictally designated as Anderson's Cottage. When Lincoln was assassinated the cot- tage was held in such reverence that it remained empty. When Grant became President he upied the cottage at in- tervals of a few days, but never perma- nently. Hayes was the “first President after Lincoln to make the place his per- manent summer home. Garfield never occupied the cottage, but all the time Chester Alan Arthur was President the cottage was again used as a summer residence. When McKinley was first inaugurated there was some talk of his moving to the Soldfers’ Home, partly because of its beauties and conveniences and partly because he has a war record of his own which might make the place attractive to him for sentimental reasons. Mrs. McKinley preferred to spend her summers in Canton, so the President never occupied Anderson cottage. SAYS UNIONISM MUST REMAINS “Werkman” Adds Another Contribution to the Controversy:3 With “Employer” on the Existing Labor Differences | DITOR San Francisco Call: I see where Employer answers my let- ter to suit himself, but he seems more anxious to tell me that I do not comprehend, perhaps not to suit bim. Workmen are not allowed to understand anything but work and not work, just as it suits the employers. Talk about contracts! The so-called contracts that the teamsters had to sign in order to get a job are a disgrace to civilization. They are all’ one-sided. The employer could lay off any man at a minute’s no- tice, while the worker was bound down like a chattel slave. I did not say in my letter that unions never broke their con- tracts. I said as a rule unions keep their ccntracts, and as a rule it i the employ- er's fault when they do break them. Did I insist in my letter that the strikers should interfere with their business or their scabs? I guess not. Do the em- ployers want a chance to squeal anarchy? The employer has all the force on bis side in the shape of mounted police and scab cops, all armed to the teeth—the majesty of the law to back them up. The employer says he recognizes the right of laboring men to organize. Bosh! The poor man has no rights which the rich man thinks he ought to respect, except the right to work at his dictation. Interfer{ng with and trying to run their business. More bosh! I cannot help but laugh when I see some of these white-handed dudes trying to handle the heavy end of their business. They are like a cow handling a gun. Talk about the responsibility of the rich and the irresponsibility, legality and all that ! of the poor. It puts me in mind of the old song: | Dollars and dimes, dollars and dimes, | Poverty is the worst of crimes. { Rob and plunder night and day, | But do it In a legal way. Employer may as well saw wood and submit to the inevitable. Unionism has come to stay. That is the only way that | Master Monopoly and Master Trust can | be attended to. When a rich employer | boasts that he can go to Paris and enjoy | himself until the poor man is starged into | submission it is time for the workman to | say, Let him go, and may he break his | neck before he gets there and give a bet- ter man a chance to run his plant. Em-| ployer says it is not a question of wages | nor hours. No? That's the keystone of all the trouble, and if my brother workers | will only leave liquor alone and keep a | stiff upper lip they will win out and have ! time tp improve their minds and money | to enjoy a little of the pleasures of life. | But what am I talking about? Pleasures | for a workingman? A glass of steam beer | and a 10-cent seat in the Orpheum is good enough for him. He must not aspire to | Kkeep himself and family in a proper way, but be like a Japanese or Chinaman— simply mind his work and have no fol- | lowers. Take what he gets and thank | them first and God afterward for living. | But there s a good time coming. Only | walt a little longer. Noble manhood and | gentle womanhood, honesty and virtue | are crushed by the money power. The | money power takes good care of its horses | | and dogs. Why? Because they cost money, while men do not. Respectfully, | August 11. A WORKMAN. | i L e e e e e e i J a a PERSONAL MENTION. Byron Waters is a guest at the Occiden- tal. Dr. R. M. English, U. 8.

The signs of the zo- diac embrace the twelve important con- stellations, -which, owing to the motions of the earth, appear to revolve through the heavens within a belt extending nine degrees on each side of the sun's appar- ent annual path and within and near which all planets revolve. Since the sun appears successively in each of these twelve constellations during the year, the zodiac was divided into twelve equal parts corresponding to the months. These signs and their subdivisions were used in measuring time and as the basis of as- tronomical and astrological calculations and predictions.
