WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MARCH 1, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. BLAINE of Maine is the coming man. If nominated and elected he will be President. Mark our words. We have received No. 1 ot Volume 1 of several papers newly started in various parts of the State. Newspapers are getting to be a nuisance. There we too many of 'em. Two negro preachers of Cincinnati advocated the lynching of some offenders. The provocation was the murder of three negroes and selling the bodies to the Cincinnati medical college. QUEEN VICTORIA eats pie. Who now will say there is not a divinity that doth hedge royalty.—Er. It is the American pie that kills. The English article is nutritious, not deadly. The difference in value between gold and currency in the Argentine Republic may be learned from the announcement in the Buenos Ayres Herald that its subscription price is $6 gold a year or $150 in currency. There is no romance in the following cablegram from London: "Fifty young and good-looking women have sailed for New Caledonia to be married to well-conducted convicts." The Mayor of Meaux, France, has interdicted the raising of bees within his jurisdiction, which has caused the coinage of a new word, the bee-keepers expecting to demolish him by terming him an "apiphobe," or person allied with apiphobia. A Scotchman would say that he has "a bee in his bonnet." Over 1300 patients are domiciled in the Napa Insane Asylum, and more accommodations are needed. A third asylum ought to A FAMILY QUARREL. There is no longer harmony among the State Viticultural Commissioners, and all along of some of them having little side specimens of their own which they wish to use their official positions to forward. And, by the way, for distantly hinting at this in discussing the question of what varieties of grapes to plant, the Gazette drew upon itself the wrath of several very worthy gentlemen. But in the present instance it is Commissioner-Blowers of Yolo and Chief Executive Viticultural Officer Wetmore who are "by the ears." Blowers is interested in land schemes in some northern counties, and Wetmore is booming a tract of land in San Diego county, in which he one of the principal owners. Blowers in his official report, by indirection seeks to convey the impression that the soil on Wetmore's tract is n. g. for raisins, and that if you want to make the boss article you ought to buy land in the northern counties and dry the raisins in the way that Blowers does. Wetmore contends that dried grapes are not raisins, but dried grapes, and that the man who spurns San Diego soil and buys in Yolo is committing financial hari-kari. To his assistance comes the San Diego papers, and the Union of that place allegates as follows, to-wit: "Mr. Wetmore says that in many cases in the State there is no difference between the so-called 'Muscatel Gordo Blanco' and the commonly known Muscat of Alexandria, the names having been used without true applications. Mr. Blowers has been making a few thousand dollars annually by selling his 'Gordo Blanco' cuttings to growers, who imagined that they were getting something superior to the Muscats of their neighbors. The explanations made by Mr. Wetmore seem to have hurt Mr. Blowers, where he is most sensitive, viz: in the region of his pocket. These and other similar sins of the Chief Executive officer have brought down on him a peculiar attack from Mr. Blowers, who imagines that the true way to hurt an opponent is to strike at his pocket. For the first time this year there is really something new in one of the reports of the Commissioners for the great Sacramento district, and that consists in an attack on San Diego. The vine growers of that district must be proud of their valiant representative; it must make them smile with joy to find out that there is four times as much rainfall in Shasta as there is in San Diego, and similar instruction on grape growing."

A Scotchman would say that he has "a bee in his bonnet." Over 1300 patients are domiciled in the Napa Insane Asylum, and more accommodations are needed. A third asylum ought to be built, and Los Angeles county ought to secure it. For some reason, Southern California contributes a large number of the patients to be found in the asylums at Napa and Stockton. The Chinese have hit upon rather an arbitrary way to raise the sinews of war. It is stated that money for war purposes is being raised in Canton by a compulsory tax of 20 cents on every $100 entered in the books of all guilds or private firms. This extraordinary taxation is superintended by one of the Canton notables, known as Mac or Moc, and he is assisted by a large staff of officers. It is said that the authority intrusted with the collection of this revenue has already advanced 50,000 taels on the strength of his prospects. One of San Francisco's newspapers—the San Francisco—has this candid opinion: "Money can do many things. It may buy the Pacific Coast delegation for Justice Field; it may even nominate him; but we do not believe it can elect him to the Presidency. Mr. Crocker as a candidate for a place on the Railroad Commission would stand as good a chance of success as Justice Field would of getting the electoral votes of this State. No ingenuity could disguise the fact that he was the Central Pacific's candidate, and the fact would damn him, as he ought to be damned." The untutored Indian maiden in not "up" in a knowledge of the arts with which her white sister is only too familiar, and this innocence on the part of the dusky maiden re-dounded to her discomfiture in a fight between one of them and a jealous white woman at Albuquerque on Monday. The Indian yanked the wig, or false front, or whatever you call it, from the head of her white antagonist, and thinking that she had scalped her, she fainted dead away, which is a rather surprising thing for a squaw to do. Taking advantage of her insensibility, the white woman punched her viciously and left the scene, victorious though bald. Representative Springer has introduced for reference in the House, a proposed constitutional amendment making the Presidential term six years, and rendering a President inelegible to re-election to the next governing term. It provides for a direct Ed. Gazette.—The San Francisco Merchant of Feb. 15th contains two letters in which Mr. Charles A. Wetmore is both attacked and defends himself. It is a great pity that a purely technical controversy has grown into personal vilifying, such as gentlemen as a rule avoid, and it must be confessed that the impression from the Blowers-Wetmore correspondence is, that the latter has not stepped out of the limits of professional arguments. Thus, at least, in one section of the State sympathy is on Wetmore's side. The slur cast on his actions does not hit. If energy and labor has been copiously applied in the place at the head of California viticulture, if progress has been astonishingly quick since Mr. Wetmore is among us after his trip to the viticultural regions in Europe, every one knows what a share of it is due him. That we viticulturists see the energetic man condemned to maintain a family and defray the great expenses he incurs in his position from the miserable $150 granted him by the State, and should not wish him to be successful in the private supplementary work which, with his uniting power, he can and does perform without neglecting his official duties; that the great mass of us think there is no other man capable of filling his post as he does, this even Mr. Blowers must feel and know. Mr. Wetmore in doing what he does in San Diego, and even while there his post as Chief Viticultural Officer is filled by him, and mail and telegraph keep him the same as if present in his office, he continues the general work of the peculiar interests of the southern counties which deserve just as much attention from him as viticulture in the north and center of the State. Has he neglected, or does he neglect the interests of California? Where is the man who can say that Mr. Wetmore has ever given anyone advice in viticultural matters that was not an upright and truly good one? Every one of us knows and respects him. Thus while our confidence in him cannot be shaken, we shall surely not swerve from the persuasion that Mr. Wetmore is a true American gentleman, who cannot stoop to misuse his official position nor State funds, which besides he does not handle.

REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER has introduced for reference in the House, a proposed constitutional amendment making the Presidential term six years, and rendering a President ineligible to re-election to the next succeeding term. It provides for a direct vote for President in each State, and abolishes the Electoral College. Each State shall have a number of votes equal to the number of its representatives and senators in Congress, to be given each candidate in proportion to the total vote cast for each. The term of representatives in Congress is fixed at three years, and Congress shall meet each year on the first Wednesday in January, the first session to convene on the January succeeding the November election. A convention of irrigators will be held in Riverside on March 12th, at which the following questions will be discussed: 1. What legislation is necessary bearing on the question of water rights and usage for irrigation purposes in this State? 2. Ownership of water, water companies and distribution of water for irrigation purposes. 3. Development of water. 4. Lifting of water from surface wells for irrigation purposes. 5. Necessity of water for irrigation, amount necessary to be used, etc. 6. The general question of irrigation, under which head all questions touching this subject not included in the above can be discussed. It is to be hoped that some gentlemen familiar with water matters will represent Anaheim in the Convention. The life of a Kentuckian has been shortened by tobacco. A hoghead of the weed fell on him and crushed him out of symmetrical proportions. It cannot be denied that tobacco in large quantities is injurious. The impression is confirmed that the Queen has always had her will and mind under the control of some man, and the allusions to John Brown increase the idea of the sway he exercised over England's ruler. The Princess Louise and her husband, Lord Lorne, are fighting more publicly every day. The Princess Beatrice, sick of her secluded life, waiting for the deceased wife's sister bill to pass to marry the husband of her sister Alice, has taken to fancy balls and danced all night at Hampton Court a few days ago. Prince Victor, son of the Prince of Wales, is described as being as dull and as gluttonous as the family generally, and the Queen, having paid her tribute to John Brown, now watches with a breaking heart by her favorite collie dog, which is dangerously ill. A Destruable Position. One of the queerest applications for positions that has ever been made is the request of an Oregon citizen, made to his member of Congress, to the effect that he be appointed as "census." The Congressman looked through the list of all the offices in the gift of a member of Congress, and could not find any office by that name. He inquired of all the other members of Congress if they had had applications for the position of a "census." They all denied that they had ever been applied to fill that office. He finally wrote to the applicant and asked him what his application meant. The man answered that he had been reading that the last census embraced fifteen thousand women, and he thought he would like to be a census. The Congressman decided if there were any such position as that in his gift, he would resign his position and take it himself. Yellow fever has again appeared in Northern Mexico.

Can ye na see we ken that all the pretence o' fairness was only a cover to a tricky lot o' directors who expect to feather a' their ain nests and water a' their own lands, while we sit oot i' the cauld, or kick the toes o' our shoes in the dust o' our dry fields. Now, Dickey, you see we are both fra' the land o' cakes—for I'm a canny Scot myself—an' it was a great mistake I was not put in as President of the Company or at any rate as Treasurer, au' then we could ha' had the thing to oorsel's and delit take the hindmost. Now, if you'll stick by the ship you'll neer make mare than your sait, but if you lend your influence to upset those cast-iron by-laws there may be a chance for a turn o' an honest penny yet.

The Massachusetts Legislative Committee on Election laws will report a bill providing that poll tax as a pre-requisite for voting should be abolished. The fear that he would not be able to pass the sixth standard of the public school, in West Bromfield, England, caused a boy of twelve years to commit suicide. An explosion, presumably of dynamite, occurred at the Victoria railway station in London on Tuesday. Damage £4000 and two men injured. It is proposed in Massachusetts to abolish the licenses of all taxidermists in the State because the song-birds are being exterminated by juvenile bird-stuffers, much to the injury of farmers. At Crockett, Texas, Reuben Hart and wife (colored) went to church and left their six children at home asleep and locked in. The house took fire, and all the children were roasted to death. The Louisville Courier-Journal is engaged in showing that the Constitution of Kentucky is irreconcilably opposed to and contradictory of the Constitution of the United States. And it proves its case, too.

The crime of which she now stands guilty was committed to secure the insurance of $18,000 upon her third husband's life." SCRANTON (Pa.), Feb. 23. — The sensation of the hour in this city is the romantic runaway marriage of John Farr, a sturdy and well educated Welchman, and a beautiful sixteen-year-old Jewess, named Justine Levy. The family of the bride are fearfully angered at her union to a Gentile, and a daily paper this morning, under the head of death notices, has the following announcement, surrounded with a heavy black border: "We mourn the marriage of our sister Justine Levy to John Farr. We hold her as dead. Disown her for life. The Levy family." The Floral Cabinet gives the following directions for managing plant cuttings: If the slip is too young and full of fresh sap it will fade away from too much evaporation; if too old—hard and woody—it will take a great while to strike root. The cutting must be perfectly ripened and from a vigorous shoot, yet a little hardened at the base. It is also essential to have a bud or joint at or near the end of the cutting, as all roots strike from it, and the nearer it is to the base the greater the chance of success. David C. Regensberger, a well-known attorney of San Francisco, was horsewhipped on Wednesday by a couple of women.

Mr. Wilder, present assistant superintendent of the Chicago Division of the R. P. O., has received the appointment, and will shortly arrive and take charge. An attempt was made at Eugene City, Oregon, to burn the State University. A carpenter passing the building saw a fire in the basement and calling to his assistance several boys, rushed in. About three cords of wood were piled in the centre, saturated with kerosene and blazing lively. The wood was thrown out of the window and the fire extinguished with slight loss. No doubt the work was incendiary and the result of quarrels between the faculty and the students and among the students themselves. Suit has been commenced by special counsel for the State against the Central Pacific Railroad, to recover $89,460 taxes due for 1883, and a proportionate amount to each county according to the respective assessments levied upon the portions of the road operated in them. Similar suits have been brought against the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Northern Railway, the California Pacific Railway, the San Pablo and Tulare Railroad and the Stockton and Copperopolis. Upon the application of Governor Stoneman, Superior Judge Maguire has granted an injunction restraining Attorney-General Marshal from compromising the railroad suits.

Of the many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable night's rest can be had. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in fact no bed at all. While The Bedette folds into as small space, and is as light as anything can be made for durability. When set up it furnishes a bed wide and long enough for the largest man, and is as comfortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is so constructed that the patent sides, regulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made adjustable, so that it can be taken off and put on again by any one in a few minutes, or easily tightened, should it become loose, at any time, from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the addition of anything; for cold weather it is only necessary to add sufficient clothing. The “Bedette” is a Household Necessity.
