HE first noted attempt to destroy the life of an individual, by means which risked the lives of many, was when Orsini threw the bomb at Na- poleon III, in the streets of Paris. It was the first use of a bomb for such a purpose. The explosive used was the common black powder of the period, which long antedated dynamite and the high-force agents which science has since discovered. That event profounddy stirred the whole world. Up to that time men were familiar with the use of poi- sons by the Italians and the East Indians. The fertile imagination of Eugene Sue had conjured the employ- ment of a subtle fungus, taken unawares among the injecta, to be enlivened and push its destructive fila- ments throughout the whole body, until the vitals were consumed by it. But the use of poison was directly against the individual whom it was sought to destroy, for reasons of private revenge or criminal The bomb was new, and it was, in Orsini's time, ineffective, because it lacked the force to inflict any general destruction.

If the Western nations will indulge in wise intro- spection, they must reach the conclusion that they need reform in their methods of dealing with China and the Chinese. China cannot be effectively opened | to the world without opening the world to China on | equal terms. The rights which the Western nations demand in China must be given to China. Unless | relations are reciprocal they are unjust. It was 2 wise remark of Marquis Tseng that the nations seemed to forget that in opening China to the world, the world was also opened to China, That race is the greatest in Asia, and when it moves up to modern lines the world will be stronger for the advance. The startling announcement has been made that the Democrats of this State intend to pay the bills in- curred while marching to defeat in the last State | campaign. This should be called to the attention of | President Roosevelt as one of the wonders of Cali- | fornia which he is likely to overlook. | ETE I o e ; TROUBLE IN MAINE. ALIFORNIANS have had trouble with the | coyote bounty law, and there are some who | think we had about as much as could come our way in matters of that kind. Such persons, how- | | ever, are mistaken. There are possibilities of woe in | | bounty bils that far exceed any that fell to our share, | | and the proof thereof is to be found at this time in | the good State of Maine. | At the last session of the Maine Legislature the | Solons deemed it advisable to place a bounty of 25 cents a head upon all hedgehogs in the State, and it | was duly provided that the bounty should be paid to any man who presented the forepaws and the nose of | a hedgehog to a town clerk and certified in writing that the animal had been killed in that township. } In consequence of this law the killing of hedge- | | hogs became one of the most active industries in | | Maine. It was hampered neither by trusts nor by | | labor unions, neither was it restricted by any child labor law. In a short time the bloody evidences of the slaughtered innocents began to come into the | towns and the clerks set about the task of redeeming. The industry went along merrily during March and | April, and a good many quarters had been paid out { before it was noticed that the law did not go imoj | effect until May 1. In one township no less than 210 | bounties had been paid. The town authorities deter- 19 'VALLEJO'S NEW LIBRA WILL BE AN ORNA RY BUILDING MENT TO THE CITY ITH of the Pre the officers it seems that evidénce is secured that the | mined to hold the clerk responsible for the coin, and | W the pe good rea- | came onst by the same means. destroyed the |the clerk, going forth into the highways and byways, | AL in con- a tle steamer, which left Liverpool on |found the mén and the boys to whom he had paid the | !

Tt is not in the nature of the man of Maine to give | }up good money without a fight. Having paid their fines, the disconsolate slayers of hedgehogs set about | studying the back acts of the State for themselves, and soon di scovered that the law not only forbade ! the killing of hedgehogs, but imposed a fine of $s { upon any man who had any part of dead hedgehog 1n ! | his possession between October 1 and June 1. There- | | upon they proceeded to summon the town clerk be- | | fore the court, and the stern old Justice imposed upon him a fine of $1050 and added $62 for costs. The clerk has taken an appeal to the higher courts, | and the end is not yet. The taxpayers of the township | 100k upon the whole affair as providential. The fines [imposed on the bounty men and on the clerk have | put into the treasury ough money to pay for killing {all the hedgehogs in that township without calling on | the general funds for a eent. All of which goes to | show that one man’s misfortunc is the profit of another, and also that when it comes to bounty troubles our coyote-scalp experiment was altcndcd% { by the proverbial good luck of our ever-glorious and | | heaven-blessed State 4 | B land. First there came a spotted rat from Persia that overcame the native, then came a black rat from | China that mastered the Persian, and now there has | been developed a hybrid rat that not only assails the | | cornbins of the cities but goes out into the country | {and destroys the farmer's crops. There is even a| | story of a certain breed of rats that opens the dinner- | pails of workingmen and cats their lunch while they are at work. Altogether the situation is such that no one smiles in England when some one says “rats.” A London astrologer who has been consulting the heavens concerning Shamrock 111 says she took the water “when the moon, that governs everything aquatic, was in the middle of Scorpio in conjunction with the evil South Scale, the most unfavorable po- sition in the zodiac she could occupy.” Hence he in- | fers the yacht will have many mishaps, and in a race couldn’t beat a barge. i An opinion has been rendered that while our in- teresting Board of Education must adopt the series of State textbooks there is nothing in the law to prevent the supervising pedagogues from adopting | | | | | | | the Diamond Match Compan A plague of rats is reported to be afflicting Eng- | 5 | the Palace. | started on their journey by way | giobe. | Harbison, | Danforth, at the Manhattan; G D. 8.

Then, again, it is charged that this accusation against the Russians is for the purpose of justifying other European powers in aggressions under the pre- text that they are required to protect zones of trade and influence. There is no question but the real interests of the people of other nations require peace if China, and a restoration of the prosperity and consuming power of the four hundred and twenty-five millions of people in that empire. This being true, it is well that so- journers in China make known the truth. The re- forms commanded by the Empress Dowager were of vast importance to her people, and her remarkable power has been addressed to the task of making them effective. She has broken up the isolation und the power of the Manchus, the ruling class, and has com- pelled them for the first time to intermarry with the Chinese people, and to travel and seek education abroad, as the Chinese have long done.
