Sunskt Cox presides over the
house of representatives during
Carlisle's illness.
iKisit. of the Alta, is rather san
guinary in his proclivities. Just
at present he is in mourning lo
calise a consignment of 15,000
dozen of Kastern eggs, whinh were
delayed upon the way and became
rotten, were dumped in the bay.
He wanted them to use in the
coming campaign.
The pope of Home has signified
Ids willingness to act as mediator
between the English government
and the Irish people in the home
rule and other reforms demanded
by Ireland. It is asserted that tiV
English cabinet have signified
their willingness to accept, which
may be taken with a few grains of
allowance.
A certain Mrs. Joshui !now is
said to have , been present when,
one hundred and six years ago,
Daniel Webster was born and said
of the infant : "This is an un
common child. Look at his big
head and eyes and the great size
of his body. I tell you here is a
wonderful child. He will be
worth raising." And the verdict
of the world has been that she
was a true prophetess.
It seems to be the settled policy
C the English government to im
j .ison those of the Irish leaders
who are physically unable to stand
the rigors of prison life, until their
deaths are brought about. It is
aid that Editor O'Brien will be re
arrested and incarcerated as soon
its his present sentence expires.
Certainly a very brave way for!
English authorities to get rid of
obnoxious persons.
The Alta thinks Gov. Iliil ex
hibits great wisdom. It says:
"Governor Hill, of New York,
seems to have a thorough knowl- j
e lge of the legislature. He rec
ommends the employment of a !
i-pecial counsel for that body, to ,
s'e that biils are properly and
grammatically drawn, so as to
clearly -xpres their intended
meaning." The experience of a !
Great manv persons is that the j
i -iarneu counsel succeed ui puuuij; i
in more ambiguity than any or-j
di lary individual possibly could
do.
New kk judges are atter the J
typewriter business, which indi
cates, probably, that they have
no doubt been tried beyond en
durance by manifold copies of
legal documents, and have made a
new rule that all documents must
be written on paper weighing four
teen pounds to the ream. This
practically puts an end to making
more than one copy of a document
.a a time on the typewriter, and is
.i rule that will bring joy to the
i ieart of the copyist. It is rather
hard on the lawyers, however, and
.e may expect to hear of efforts
n their part to afolish it.
Congress is asked to pass some
tringent laws upon the opium
muiigling business, and the sece
ary of the treasury in submitting
i, bill upon the subject says:
'Under the existing law the de
lartment was unable to suppress
he smuggling ui opium by sys
ematic organizations on the Pa
cific coast. If congress is not dis
.Kjsed to prohibit r restrict theim
ortation of opium for smoking and
lesires to obtain .i revenue there
roni, the present tax ot $10 per
ound should be materially re-
bleed SO that the inducement to
. ,,
niUggling shall be lessened.
Coxokess is talking of appropri
ating $50,01 K to cxptmd in repre
senting the l.'nited States in the
Australia exposition next August,
.hich will be bel l in Melbourne.
i'hese exposition are worth all
hev cost, and the appropriation

i'he Chronicle havs: "The trade

ra!ia is by no :m:us imVuipurtant.
For the year ending June 30, 1887,
we exported to the British iwsses
sions in Australasia articles of the
value of $9,543,474, and imported
a value of $4,411,119, leaving the
balance of trade largely in our
favor. This Australasian trade
ought to be highly developed, and
California should certainly get her
full share of it. All of our prod
ucts except wool ought to be sent
to Australia and sold at a profit.
Our raisins, our dried and canned
fruits, our salmon, our machin
ery and agricultural implements,
and products and manufactures of
other kinds, all should find a niar
ket in Australia, and with the ex
ercise of proper business tact and
energy can be made to do fo But
our business men cannot expect to
sit still and have Australia trade
come to them. Australia natur
ally looks to Great Britain as
her base of supplies, and if the
United States wants a market in
Australia for its productions we
must show the Australians that it
will be to their interest to buy from
us.
A very pertinent question for
legislators in congress to consider,
is whether we shall maintain a
tariff on sugar, promote the maim. ;
facture of beet sugar in this coun- j
try by liberal encouragement, or j
remove the tariff from sugar, thus j
destroying all chance of inducing !
the beet sugar industry, and in the !
end paying higher for our sweeting
than we 'do even now, instead of
getting it cheaper.
The subject of performing pub
lie exeeutioi.s by electricity is stiil
being mooted. Possibly some meas

but eventually the relic of barbar
ism capital punishment will be
abolished, and there will Vie no
need of searching for a more hu
