WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MARCH 15, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. It is reported that nearly five million letters and packages annually find their way to the Dead Letter Office at Washington. As this indicates an average of about fifteen thousand letters per day, Sundays excepted, we may safely strengthen our proud list of distinctive national qualities by the claim that we are the most abut-minded people in the world. The editor of the Georgetown Herald proposes to live up to his convictions. He recently published the following announcement: "We hereby notify the public that we will not do any printing for balls or other questionable entertainments. We have conscientious convictions which we are determined to adhere to strictly, even at the risk of giving offense." Anybody can get on the outside of an orange, but the Atlanta Constitution tells us how to perform the feat scientifically. It says: "Oranges should never be eaten in company. They should be quartered with the rind on, and gobbled up with sufficient speed and voracity to get the true flavor, which never clings to the fruit after the skin is stripped off. We mention this fact here because there are thousands of people in this country who don't know how to eat an orange." GEN. BUTLER, alluding to the Lasker incident, says: "Bismarck is anxious to find some reason for the proclamation of an embargo to keep the young, healthy, educated Germans who are bound to perform military service from flocking to America at the face of an army corps a year. You must remember that while Bismarck is a great statesman he was a soldier earlier. He is a soldier before a statesman still. Everything in Germany is to be sacrificed to military power. I sincerely trust that neither our Executive Governors will take any notice of his pet." Extra Session of the Legislature. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. To the People of the State of California: For four years the chief railroad companies of this State have refused to obey the laws imposing taxes upon their property. Legal actions instituted against them to enforce collection, after having been under various pretexts delayed, have lately been terminated by proceedings through which it was practically established that while nothing was legally collectable from these corporations, yet the State was willing to accept whatever they in their discretion saw fit to accord. The humiliating attitude in which the State of California is thus placed must fill the heart of every public-spirited citizen with regret and mortification, whilst the disturbance of our whole financial system, caused by the repeated and persistent delinquency of the companies, no wise man should willingly permit to continue. More stringent and effective measures for the collection of revenues from railroads are imperatively demanded. The present condition of affairs also demands a change with reference to the regulation of the business of transportation companies. The system of electing Railroad Commissioners from districts has not given satisfaction. A wide spread discontent exists, engendered by a delay in adjusting a tariff of freights and fares. If the results so long hoped for from a Railroad Commission are ever to be attained, it must be through a revision of the constitution and laws on this subject. Now, therefore, an extraordinary occasion having arisen, I, George Stoneman, Governor of the State of California, by virtue of the power in me vested by the constitution of the State, do hereby convene the Legislature to meet and assemble at the State Capitol on the 24th day of March, A. D. 1884, at 12 o'clock M. of that day; and do hereby specify the following subjects upon which it is assembled to legislate: First—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to section 4 and to section 10 of Article XIII of the constitution of the State. Second—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to section 22 of Article XII of the constitution of the State. Third—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to the constitution of the State by which the Railroad Commission as now existing shall be abolished, and in lieu thereof a Railroad Commission, to be composed of three commissioners, shall be created; said commissioners to be appointed in such manner as may be provided by law from the time of the adoption of said amendment until the next general election, and then to be elected at said election from the State at large; and to PACIFIC Constable J.

BUTLER, alluding to the Lasker incident, says: "Blamarek is anxious to find some reason for the proclamation of an embargo to keep the young, healthy, educated Germans who are bound to perform military service from locking to America at the face of an army corps a year. You must remember that while Bismarck is a great statesman he was a soldier earlier. He is a soldier before a statesman still. Everything in Germany is to be sacrificed to military power. I sincerely trust that neither our Executive nor Congress will take any notice of his petulance or impertinence." SACRAMENTO has an ordinance licensing gambling. A municipal election is at hand, and in the Republican platform is the following plank: That no amount of licensing can change the character of a crime; that gambling is a crime, morally, socially and legally, and we repudiate the action of the present Board of City Trustees in attempting to give dignity and respectability to a crime denounced alike by God and man; we pledge the nominees of this Convention to do all in their power not only to prevent and punish the crime of gambling, but also to efface the blot upon the ordinances of the city, by which it is sought to derive a revenue from the wickedness and crime of some portions of the population of Sacramento. Tax Secretary of the State Forestry Commission asks any reader of the Gazette to report to him the result of his observations concerning the effect the partial destruction of forests in California has had: 1—upon the distribution of rainfall in this State; 2—the amount of rainfall; 3—the permanency of springs; 4—the area of snow-covered land; 5—the melting of snow; 6—the amount of water in rivers and creeks; 7—the comparative frequency of floods; 8—the value or productiveness of any cultivated lands. The address of the Secretary is E. W. Townsend, Room No. 42, Nevada Block, San Francisco. "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury." Such is the language of the Federal Constitution; and to the non-legal mind that provision in the Constitution of California which provides that persons guilty of any crime may be prosecuted upon information instead of by indictment is in direct conflict with the higher law. But the U. S. Supreme Court, in the case of Hurtado, the Sacramento murderer who is under sentence of death, and who appalled on the ground that he had been prosecuted upon information and not on an indictment by a Grand Jury, has decided that there is no conflict in the constitutions, and that it is proper to proceed upon information. Had the decision been the reverse, it would have resulted in the liberation of at least five hundred convicts now in the State Prison. Second—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to section 22 of Article XII of the constitution of the State. Third—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to the constitution of the State by which the Railroad Commission as now existing shall be abolished, and in lieu thereof a Railroad Commission, to be composed of three commissioners, shall be created; said commissioners to be appointed in such manner as may be provided by law from the time of the adoption of said amendment until the next general election, and then to be elected at said election from the State at large; and to prescribe the term of office, duties, authorities and powers of said commission. Fourth—To enact all laws necessary for the assessment to and collection from all railroad corporations or companies, doing business in this State, of income taxes. Fifth—To amend or repeal any or all existing laws relating to revenue, and to enact new laws relating to the same. Sixth—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to the constitution of the State to the end that all property belonging to railroad corporations may and shall be assessed by the State Board of Equalization in the same manner as property belonging to individuals is now assessed by local assessors; and that mortgages and deeds of trust, contracts or other obligations by which a debt is secured, covering the property of railroad corporations, shall, for the purpose of assessment and taxation, be deemed and treated as an interest in the property affected thereby. Seventh—To enact laws providing that property of railroad corporations or companies may and shall be sold for payment of deliquent taxes in the same manner as the property of private persons is sold under the same circumstances. Eighth—To enact laws providing that no writ for the prevention of the collection of any revenue, or to hinder or delay the collection of the same, or to prevent or interfere with the sale of property for deliquent taxes, shall in anywise issue, either injunction, prohibition or any other writ or process whatever; but that in all cases in which, for any reason, any person shall claim that any tax paid by him was illegally or wrongfully levied or collected, he may recover the same by action. Ninth—To enact laws providing that whenever property is sold for deliquent taxes, a receiver may, upon application of the purchaser, whether said purchaser be a private person or the State, be appointed by any competent court to take charge of the same from the day of the execution of the certificate of sale. Tenth—To enact a law declaring that people of the State of California have not authorized and do not ratify any compromise nor any judgment heretofore rendered by consent in any action or proceeding for the collection of revenue by which a less amount is or has been received or recovered than the sum due by law or claimed in the complaint in action in which said judgment was rendered for the tax, interest and penalty, and providing means for setting aside said compromises and judgments; and to enact laws more clearly defining the powers and duties of the Attorney-General, District Attorneys and Boards of Supervisors with reference to the collection of deliquent taxes. Eleventh—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to the constitution fixing a maximum rate of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight on all railroad lines in the State, and for that purpose to classify railroad lines according to length, gauge or income.

Third—To propose and submit to the people of the State of California an amendment to the constitution of the State by which the Railroad Commission as now existing shall be abolished, and in lieu thereof a Railroad Commission, to be composed of three commissioners, shall be created; said commissioners to be appointed in such manner as may be provided by law from the time of the adoption of said amendment until the next general election, and then to be elected at said election from the State at large; and to prescribe the term of office, duties, authorities and powers of said commission.

The Republican State Convention will be held in Oakland on April 30th. There will be 466 delegates, of which Los Angeles county will have 18, and delegates will be chosen in such manner as the County Committees shall direct. The convention is held for the purpose of nominating four delegates and four alternate delegates to the national convention, to meet at Chicago on Tuesday, June 3, 188. At such convention the respective Congressional delegates of which the full convention is composed will nominate two delegates and two alternate delegates for each Congressional district, from one to six inclusive, provided they have not previously nominated delegates. The Republicans of the various Congressional districts shall have the option of electing their delegates at separate popular delegate conventions called on not less than 20 days' published notice, and held in the Congressional districts at any time within 15 days next prior to the meeting of the State convention, or by subdivisions of the State convention into district conventions, and such delegates shall be chosen in the latter method if not elected previous to the meeting of the State convention. The evidence given before the New York Senate Committee the past week concerning the initiation of butter, shows that annual shipments of the spurious article from the West to that city are about 1,500,000 pounds. Of thirty samples of alleged butter, collected at random from the city grocers, twenty were imitations. Butterine sells for 20 to 45 cents per pound; oleomargarine 20 to 30 cents. Often the same article is sold at varying prices to suit the character of the customer, but always as pure creamery butter. Tit for Tat. WASHINGTON, March 12.—The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to-day received an informal report from the sub-committee, consisting of Senators Miller (Cal.), Edmunds, Morgan and Pendleton, appointed to consider the exclusion of our meat product from foreign countries. The recommendations of the sub-committee are in general terms that a bill should be enacted authorizing the President in his discretion, whenever satisfied our products are excluded or discriminated against by any foreign country on unjust grounds, to issue his proclamation suspending importation of any or all products from the nation referred to, and authorizing the President to establish a system of inspection and certification of the quality of our meat products at ports of exportation. It is further recommended that provision be made to prevent the importation of adulterated wines, etc., and that in certain emergencies, articles suspected of being adulterated shall be subject to inspection. The full committee discussed the subject at considerable length, and the prevalent feeling is decidedly in favor of the proposed lines of legislation. Action is deferred, however, to await the formulation of general suggestions and the receipt of desired information from the Treasury Department, begging on the methods of meat inspection. A Springfield (Illinois) telegram says: "Rev. Mr. McDonald, who preached an able and interesting sermon last evening at Auburn, was arrested here this morning on a telegram charging him with the theft of a horse and a suit of clothes from a man named Foster, to whose house he went after religious services for the purpose of spending the night. The minister, horse and clothes were missing when Foster awoke in the morning. The stolen property was found in McDonald's possession." PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Constable J. D.

The wines are very cheap and the trade has certainly received an advantage over low grades of imported goods through the operation of the additional ten cent per gallon duty." Very petty impressions of green leaves may be made by the following process: Take the leaf and spread it carefully on well distributed ink roller, pressing it gently so that it is thoroughly inked, then lay it on the paper to be printed; over the leaf place a sheet of light writing paper, holding it with one hand while with the other hand you rub over the sheet with a paper pad pressing it gently in rubbing it to give the impression. The under side of the leaf should be used to print from. Some of the soft leaves of plants give an impression equal to lithograph. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Milch Cow for Sale.

Six officers were sent to the asylum to quell the disturbance, and after a hard fight, succeeded in capturing the rioters, and imprisoned them in their rooms. A petition, accompanied by a letter to General Rosecrans, has been forwarded to Congress by the producers of raisins in California. After calling attention to the growth of the industry in this State, the petition complains that the reduction of the duty on imported raisins and the unusual introduction of cheapened foreign raisins has prevented the sale of the California product, thus working immediate injury to those who have their vines in bearing and threatening to jeopardize the industry in which thousands have embarked in the hope of future reward for their effort and investment. It concludes by asking an advance in duty on the imported article of from two to three cents per pound. English Women in the Fields. Women do "field work" in England.

They harvest, also; and the children "glean" after the last loads are carried. The women wear print dresses, or faded out black ones, a long, wide print apron and a sun bonnet; both generally of a pale lilac color. They are uneducated, ignorant, gossiping and not at all choice in their language. It is best to view them from a distance only. Spare hands are in request for hay making. On this small farm two "indoor" servants, the wagoner and a boy to milk are kept. Eighteen extra hands are hired for the hay, and once hired draw daily wages (without food) of three shillings and sixpence (eighty-seven cents), though the rain often prevented working. THE REV. GEO. H. THAYER, of Bourbon, Ind., says: "Both myself and wife owe our lives to Shiloh's Consumption Cure." Sold by Wm. M. Higgins. New York, March 1st.—Your reporter interviewed prominent dealers in California wines this afternoon regarding the condition of the trade. A member of the firm of Dreyfus & Co. (John J. Weglein) said: We have just returned from a tour of the California vineyards, and the outlook is very bright. Trade is better now than it has been for two years past and the brandy market is looking up immensely. We have disposed of four carloads since February 1st, and orders are still coming in. The French and Italian quarters of this city furnish the best customers, they being wine drinking people. New Orleans is the best market for claret. We ship direct from California there. People, both here and in Europe, are commencing to recognize the value of California wines. The protective tariff, of course, enables us to do a good business, but if we had vineyards enough and could get labor enough and cheap enough we could dispense with the tariff. The demand for red wines continues large, with prices about the same as last year. The quality of the Bordeaux wines is so miserable that it creates an inquiry for our red wines. We have not placed California wines on the new Wine and Spirits Exchange. We would only be used for speculative purposes, and this we don't desire. Mr. Mayer, of the firm of Retesch & Mayer, said that business was at present very slack and quiet. Prices are being slaughtered by the competition of the wine growers, who put up wines very carelessly, and they come here often in an unmarketable condition and have to be disposed of at cost. This has been the case for some time. I think, however, that there is a growing demand for California wines. We get no good wines from California. Said Mr. Edinger of the firm of Edinger Bros. & Jacobi: "The fault rests entirely with the growers. Why? Because they mix up bad and good grapes, and the dealers have no choice in the matter. Then the caking is slovenly and weak. The very best wines we sell are red Burgundy and Zinfandel, the latter being preferred by Frenchmen to native wines. Not much of it is drank in this city, and the Astor House is the only hotel that keeps it. Gov. Stanford drinks it, and Drexel Morgan and other wealthy brokers have it on their tables. The California wines don't keep. In three years' time they lose flavor and brew vinegar, but the demand grows every year. Our sales last two months exceed the same time Notice.

This invention supplies a long felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away in a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when wanted. 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 cord, 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.
