WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JUNE 7, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HIS NAME JIM BLAINE OF MAINE. The National Republican Convention at Chicago proceeded to ballot for President yesterday morning. The first ballot resulted in three hundred and sixty-nine votes for James G. Blaine. Necessary for a choice four hundred and eleven, Upon the second ballot New York State cast her vote for the Maine Statesman, increasing his vote to four hundred and two. The announcement of the result of the fourth ballot was followed by declaring James G. Blaine of Maine the Republican nominee for the Presidency, he having received four hundred and fourteen votes, being a majority of all the votes cast. New York State, by the action of its representatives at Chicago, once more declares against Folgerian and for honesty in politics. To the Pacific Coast delegation is due the honor of accomplishing the success of James G. Blaine at Chicago. Now give him a little sulphur and foenugreek, anoint his spavined joints, put a cheatnut burr under his tail and trot out the great war horse "Uncle Sammy." By the nomination of James G. Blaine the Republican party has again asserted its loyalty to true patriotism, its independence of the machine, and its long standing reputation for intelligence and wisdom. PARTY PLATFORMS. It was a Republican politician and Speaker of the Assembly who refused to carry out the policies outlined in the party platform, and boldly declared that platforms were merely "molasses to catch flies with." No greater truth was ever uttered by a politician, if we except the remark made by Delegate Flannigan in the last National Democratic Convention, when he candidly said that "its the offices we are after." To one who knows the men who composed the Los Angeles County Democratic Convention which met last Saturday, and who knows the opinions which they privately express regarding men and measures, the resolutions which they passed with overwhelming unanimity are quite inexplicable. That is, they would so appear to the individual who is not enough of a politician to know that duplicity, deceit, misrepresentation and fraud are necessary to political success. Platforms are intended to catch the votes of just such individuals—men who read the professed principles of the various parties and vote for that party which makes the fairest promises, without inquiring about the sincerity of smoothly conceived platforms. If, for instance, the impending National Democratic Convention shall adopt a protection plank in their platform, there are thousands of voters who will point to that plank in refutation of the charge that a very great minority of the party are for free trade, and will, in their partisan blindness, refuse to acknowledge that the declaration of protection in the party platform will in no way alter the purposes and opinions held by Carlisle, Hurd, Morrison and other Free Traders. These men will go home and work for the success of the party ticket, protection plank and all, and will afterwards return to Congress and tinker with the tariff as they have done heretofore. The principles they believe in now will be as dear to them after the Convention has declared its enmity to free trade and its admiration for protection. Referring particularly to the resolutions of the Los Angeles Democracy, printed on the first page of the Gazette, it is enough to excite one's risibilities to read the demagogic and foolish paragraph at the beginning. No word of condemnation for the Democratic members of the Legislature who "fell down," but denunciation of the Republican minority. The action of that minority shows that it is in a prosperous condition. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Yellow fever is reported. The estimated damage is about $2,000,000. Milwankee has a tobacco with a gold watch for first time. Louisville, Ky., is now clairvoyants by taxing them. Chinese laundrymen are the French Canadians of Mills. In the burning of the Trinity stables at Glasgow, Scotland horses were roasted to death. Venezuela has made oration of yellow fever virus infection. An Ogletborpe, Ga., boy cash-drawer for which cost $10,000. A piece of land sold in other day for $800,000, or its cost in 1847. A Philadelphia doctor announced to build a crematory private speculation. The famous Flat Rock which disappeared about age, is said to have again been built. The Brooklyn bridge was Saturday week. During millions of people crossed receipts were $391,770. Twoyoung persons from Yauza, Va., were married at other day, the groom being and the bride fifteen years old. The Chicago Times says out a gale on Lake Michigan pouring on the water twenty-seed oil, which calmed the tance of half a mile from town. A violent shock of ear on May 19th on the island of Mouth of the Persian lakes were destroyed, 200 many wounded. What is known as the pany,” of Hamburg, has provided with an apparatus turning of the wheels, man-tenance run. The little republic of Saskatchewan has a standing army of officers, and a public depliant pleasant weather the army gets up picnics, and leaves charge of an ancient servant. An organization has been Carolina for the erection abled Confederate soldiers. The State of Louisiana also established ex-Confederate state it is in a prosperous condition. Capt. James B. Eads, cently received a check Now give him a little sulphur and foenugreek, anoint his spavined joints, put a cheat-nut burr under his tail and trot out the great war horse "Uncle Sammy." By the nomination of James G. Blaine the Republican party has again asserted its loyalty to true patriotism, its independence of the machine, and its long standing reputation for intelligence and wisdom. HURRAH for old Ireland! The Green is above Red once more! An explosion of dynamite at the police headquarters in London injured four of Her Majesty's minions, one hackdriver and one small boy. Some years ago a discussion was begun in the Gazette regarding the efficacy of concessions in producing rain. The ideas then advanced have been improved upon and are now presented in the form of a balloon with a charge of dynamite underneath it. The balloon is to be sent into the clouds, and the dynamite is to be fired by a wire connecting it with the earth. The inventor, Mr. E. S. Haines, of Richmond, intends to try it in the dreary districts of New South Wales. The colored vote is rather an uncertain factor in politics just now, and to this fact is due the election of the colored man, Lynch of Mississippi, as temporary Chairman of the Republican National Convention. It but emphasizes the ideas we have expressed in another column concerning party platforms. By the recognition of Lynch, the Republicans have made the party solid with the negroes, and thus they have accomplished a very important object with the expenditure of a little taffy. Without political bias it may be said that the National Convention of Republicans at Chicago is an aggregation of brains, wealth and respectability never before known in the history of the Republic. Comprised of the leaders of the Republican party, the dominant party for twenty years, it embraces the flower of American statesmanship. The Pacific Coast delegation alone represents over forty millions, while the wealth of the Eastern business men who pushed the Arthur boom might be estimated at any number of hundreds of millions. For evidence of its respectability there is needed but a glance at the prominent names of the delegates and others in attendance. A bill has become a law in New York providing a rule in life insurance that "suicide of the person whose life shall have been insured shall not be a defense to an action upon any policy hereafter issued in this State, where the person whose life shall have been insured was insane when the act causeth was committed anything in the grass and thicket with the tarin as they have done heretofore. The principles they believe in now will be as dear to them after the Convention has declared its enmity to free trade and its admiration for protection. Referring particularly to the resolutions of the Los Angeles Democracy, printed on the first page of the Gazette, it is enough to excite one's risibilities to read the demagogic and foolish paragraph at the beginning. No word of condemnation for the Democratic members of the Legislature who "fell down," but denunciation of the Republican minority. The action of that minority shows that the Republican party is for monopoly and against the people, while the action (or non-action) of the Democratic two-thirds shows that it is anti-monopoly and for the people. What a specious bit of reasoning! Condemnation of Carpenter and Humphreys is fashionable in Democratic conventions now, and the Democracy of this county propose to keep up with the procession. Policy, and not conviction, inspired this resolution, for among those who voted for it were many who are known as "railroad men," and the convention subsequently elected as delegates men who are open and avowed friends of the railroad corporations of this State, who were opposed to the Extraordinary Session, and who believe that Carpenter and Humphreys have done all that could reasonably be expected in the matter of reducing transportation charges. And it is singular to note that the convention, in condemning pledge-breakers, forgot to denounce Head who, according to the Herald, violated his pledge in a most shameless way. Nay, it rewarded him by electing him a delegate to the State Convention. Let voters not be misled by the speciosa declarations of party platforms. They should look under the surface and judge for themselves what professions are false and what are true. They should remember that the Flanniganian declaration that "it's the offices we're after," is the mainspring of all platforms, and that they are with rare exceptions framed solely for that purpose. Fruit Trees and Vines Must be Taxed. The following excerpts are made from the decision of Judge Spencer in the case of R. Cottle vs. L. A. Spitzer, assessor of Santa Clara county, to restrain him from taxing the fruit trees on the plea that they were "growing crops" and exempt from taxation. The contention of the plaintiff is that the class of property is included in the term, "growing crops," as found in the constitution of the State, exempting the last-named class of property from taxation. It is the settled policy of all governments, republican in form, that the burdens of taxation shall fall equally upon their citizens. It may be conceded, and probably correctly, that at the present day, in this State at least, the word "crop" taken in its most comprehensive sense includes fruits grown on trees, but I think it can be affirmed without serious contradiction, that trees themselves, capable of producing fruit, never have been included in that term. As I understand the able and ingenious argument of the learned counsel for plaintiff, he does not claim that exteri mui the words "crops" or "growing crops" The little republic of St. lina has a standing army of for officers, and a public dee pleasant weatherthe arm gets up picnics,and leaves chargeof an ancient servant An organization has been Carolina for the erection abled Confederate soldiers.

A bill has become a law in New York providing a rule in life insurance that "suicide of the person whose life shall have been insured shall not be a defense to an action upon any policy hereafter issued in this State, where the person whose life shall have been insured was insane when the act causing death was committed, anything in the policy to the contrary notwithstanding." This then, bars the insurer of one excuse for non-payment for the insured life. The general assumption is that suicide is an act of insanity. This has been and will continue to be the charitable view. But now the proof must be taken of mental derangement. It will remain that insanity in cases of suicide will be presumed, but under the new law in New York it must be affirmatively established if the insurer demands. Under the old law great difficulty was experienced in proving sanity on the part of the suicide, for on that the insurance companies based their defense of non-payment. Practically the effect of the New York law will be to make suicide no bar to payment, and it is not probable that the insurance companies will require the proof of insanity to be made, since the task of proving insanity in suicides will be an easy one, the presumption carrying the question more than half way to a conclusion in each case of self-murder. Half a million dollars' worth of figs were imported by the United States last year. California fig growers need not be afraid of overproduction. A correspondent of the American Agriculturist, writing from Selma, Cal., says, respecting our dried figs: "When the same card is exercised in their preparation as in Italy and Spain, and when they become better known, our figs will hold a high place in the markets of the world. A tree of eight or ten years old should yield from four to six hundred pounds of well matured fruit annually." Fig culture in California seems destined to prove highly profitable. It may be conceded, and probably correctly, that at the present day, in this State at least, the word "crop" taken in its most comprehensive sense includes fruits grown on trees, but I think it can be affirmed without serious contradiction, that trees themselves, capable of producing fruit, never have been included in that term. As I understand the able and ingenious argument of the learned counsel for plaintiff, he does not claim that ex viter mini the words "crops" or "growing crops" include fruit bearing trees, but because the Constitution declares that growing crops "shall not be taxed, and inasmuch as the fruit growing upon the trees is a growing crop," and that the tree is necessary for the production of the fruit and is substantially valuable for any other purpose, therefore the taxing of the tree is in effect taxing the crop growing or that may thereafter grow thereon, because, arguendo, there being no tree there could be no crop. If a tree is not in fact a part of the crop of fruit growing thereon I do not understand how it can be made to appear that the taxing of the former is substantially and in effect taxation of the latter. Perhaps some confusion might be avoided in dealing with this question if it be borne in mind that a crop when perfected does not fall within any exemption or exception and is the subject of taxation. By the very terms of the constitution the exemption of crops from taxation is temporary and only continues during its growing state. We have then an article of property, a tree, that year by year produces another article of recognized value, which is taxed from the time it comes to perfection as long as it continues in existence. How can it be said that the taxing of the matrix is illegal, or even unjust when its product is also taxable. I can understand that the system of reasoning sought to be enforced by the plaintiff might have weight if the product of the tree could not at any time, or under any circumstances, be taxed. If the only use to which an article can be put, and therefore the only value it has is to produce untaxable property—it might with reason be claimed that the article cannot have any taxable value.* I am of the opinion that it is the duty of the assessor to assess fruit, nut-bearing and ornamental trees, and vines, not of natural growth, as directed in Section 2,617 of the Political Code. It results that the writ prayed for should be refused, and it is so ordered. "Aloquent!" said a Citizen his partner. "Why, he thenea. Why, only you in court that the besotten posing counsel had wallowed in St. Louis, and then he laid the man and kicked him How's that for eloquence." A careful estimate of coal and wood shows them be the cheapest. It will nary cook stove, giving much more convenient Gade will deliver Wellies ties to suit. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Yellow fever is reported at Guaymas. The estimated damage by floods in Texas is about $2,000,000. Milwaukee has a tobacco-chewing contest with a gold watch for first prize. Louisville, Ky., is now driving out the clairvoyants by taxing them $200 a year. Chinese laundrymen are unpopular with the French Canadians of Montreal. In the burning of the Tramway Company's stables at Glasgow, Scotland, last week, 200 horses were roasted to death. Venezuela has made obligatory the cremation of yellow fever victims to prevent infection. An Ogletborpe, Ga., boy has invented a cash-drawer for which he has refused $10,000. A piece of land sold in New York the other day for $800,000, or thirty-two times its cost in 1847. A Philadelphia doctor announces his intention to build a crematory in that city as a private speculation. The famous Flat Rock spring, at Saratoga which disappeared about twenty-five years ago, is said to have again commenced to bubble. The Brooklyn bridge was one year old on Saturday week. During the year over six millions of people crossed it on foot, and the receipts were $391,770. Two young persons from Shenandoah county, Va., were married at Harper's Ferry the other day, the groom being sixteen years old and the bride fifteen years. The Chicago Times says a schooner rode out a gale on Lake Michigan last week by pouring on the water twelve gallons of lime-seed oil, which calmed the waves for a distance of half a mile from the ship. A violent shock of earthquake occurred on May 19th on the island of Kishm, near the mouth of the Persian gulf. Twelve villages were destroyed, 200 persons killed and many wounded. What is known as the "Taxanome Company," of Hamburg, has started vehicles provided with an apparatus which, by the turning of the wheels, marks the exact distance run. The little republic of San Marino, Italy, has a standing army of forty men, including officers, and a public debt of $1,080. In pleasant weather the army goes fishing or gets up picnic, and leaves the country in charge of an ancient servant. An organization has been formed in North Carolina for the erection of a home for disabled Confederate soldiers of that state. The State of Louisiana already has an established ex-Confederate soldiers' home, and it is in a prosperous condition. Capt. James B. Eads, the engineer, recently received a check for £2,000 for an insurance claim against a serious calamity in Salt Lake. In the eastern part of the city they have stripped the fruit trees and bushes of their foliage, and the naked trunks and limbs stand out as dead, and now the posts are attacking the shade trees. They are in such overwhelming numbers that no effectual remedy has been found. PACIFIC COAST NEWS.

His offense was the writing of an objectionable letter to the girl. Katie, the twenty-year-old daughter of Wm. A. Bustard, proprietor of the Central Hotel at Hollister, committed suicide by taking forty grains of strychnine.

The State Board of Health reports a terrible condition of affairs in the cow stables at Blissville, Long Island, near New York city. Pleuro-pneumonia exists in all the stables, dying cattle are milled, then killed, and the carcasses smuggled into New York and Brooklyn and sold for food. A Catholic bishop of Soudan, just arrived at Cairo from the south, reports that seven Catholic priests and four Sisters of Mercy were murdered at El Obeid. He also reports that three priests were exposed naked to the sun for four days, and died from the effects of their exposure. Gen. E. O. Babcock, Et. director of the Fifth Lighthouse district, Levi P. Luckey, his chief clerk, formerly assisting private Secretary of Gen. Grant, and Ben J. P. Sutter of Washington, were drowned Saturday in Mosquito inlet, off the coast of Florida, while superintending work on the lighthouse being erected at that point. The new civil code of Mexico includes a divorce law, divorce not having been bitherto recognized there, it being a Roman Catholic country. The Church having been separated from the State, and only civil marriage recognized, divorce takes place in the statutes. The divorce law defines that a divorce shall not absolutely annul the marriage tie, but shall suspend some of its features; it provides for separation, alimony and care of children. The North German Gazette publishes a programme issued by a committee of peasants for a convention, which will convene on the 14th of July. This programme advocates protective duties on agricultural products and a reduction of railway tariffs on such products; the creation of a bank credit loan; a more equitable distribution of taxation on landed property; a diminution of legal costs attending land transfers and the creation in every district of peasant associations. David Stone, of Detroit, the half-witted uncle of a little girl, six years old, garned Lulu Dycke, was arrested on suspicion of having outraged and murdered her. He confessed the terrible crime. He was taken into Court without public knowledge and was sentenced to State Prison for life, then put into a close carriage and driven across the country to Jackson, where he arrived early next morning. The extraor inary precautions were taken on account of the intense feeling at Hillsdale and to avoid lynching. The Republican Convention. The Republican National Convention met in Chicago on Tuesday. John R. Lynch of Mississippi, a colored man, was elected temporary Chairman. Upon taking the Chair, Mr. Lynch made the following speech: Gentlemen of the Convention: I feel that I ought not to say that I thank you for the distinguished honor that you have conferred upon me, for I do not. Nevertheless, from the standpoint that no patriot should fail to respond to his country's call, and that no loyal member of his party should fail to comply with the demand of his party, I yield with reluctance to your decision, and assume the duties of the position to which you have assigned me. Every member of this Convention who approached me on this subject within the last few hours knows that this position was neither expected nor desired by me. If, therefore, there is any such a thing as a man having honors thrust upon him, you have an exemplification of it in this instance. [Laughter and applause.] I came to this Convention, not for the purpose of securing the defeat of any man, or the success of any man, but for the purpose of contributing to the extent of my vote and my influence, to make a Republican success in November next an assured fact. [Choera.] I hope and believe that the assembled wisdom or the Republican party of this nation, through its chosen representatives in this hall, will so state its platform and will present such candidates before the American people as will make that victory beyond the shadow of a doubt. So far as the candidates for the Presidental office do not wish to doubt that the young lady's rah act was the result of a lover's misunderstanding. Lovers of so-called "blood" oranges will be interested to hear that the supply of their favorite fruit having fallen short, certain dealers now prick the skins of ordinary oranges and then subject the latter to a bath of colored liquid.

Perry, who lives on the Sonoma road, near Napa, was seen to run from the blacksmith shop near the house with her clothes on fire. The little girl was so badly burned that she died. It is supposed that she had been playing with the fire in the shop. The blacksmith shop and a barn adjoining were burned down. A fire broke out in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County, on the night of the 29th ult., and destroyed all the places on the north side of Main street except Fleisher's store, which was saved by tearing down buildings. Fleisher loses $9,000; Crosby,$10,000; Newman,$15,000; Bell,$1,500; Graves,$1,000. Other losses make $29,200; Large portion of the goods were saved; Fourteen business houses were destroyed. The Oriental lodge of Free Masonia have decided to proceed against Senator Sharon, General Barnes and others connected with the examination of the body of Anson G. Olin, in the Masonic cemetery, in order to obtain testimony in the Sharon-Hill divorce case. The lodge claim that the act was unjustifiable and that the Health Officer exceeded his duties in doing what was not subserving any public end toward the preservation of public health. The Republican Convention. The Republican National Convention met in Chicago on Tuesday. John R. Lynch of Mississippi, a colored man, was elected temporary Chairman.

One Young Jersey Cow(Fresh.)Garden Tools,HoseEtc,. The Colonial Idea. [Los Angeles Herald.] The quite remarkable success which has characterized colonial experiments in Southern California has won recognition all over the American continent and the world, in fact. These schemes have had their exposition in Los Angeles county, all others, with the single exception of Riverside, being merely subsidiary and to some extent still in a tenative state. The absolute success of the Anaheim experiment extorted the admiration of Charles Nordhoff, who, in his book devoted to California, outlined the charming success there accomplished with such cordiality and minuteness that the whole reading public thus became acquainted with the possibilities which await the intelligent direction of capital and enterprise in this section. Anaheim has since expanded the area of its usefulness and prosperity, and to-day is the seat of many exquisite homes, none of which is plastered with a mortgage. Riverside, in San Bernardino county, and Pasadena in Los Angeles county, came later to supplement the original experiment in a way which practically shows that these enterprises are only limited by unappropriated acreage and water resources. "Eloquent!" said a Cincinnati lawyer of his partner. "Why, he's a second Demo-thene. Why, only yesterday he stated in court that the besotted carcass of the opposing counsel had wallowed in every gutter in St. Louis, and then he made a jump for the man and kicked him in the stomach. How's that for eloquence. A careful estimate of the relative cost of coal and wood shows the Wellington coal to be the cheapest. It will burn in any ordinary cook stove, giving a steady heat, and is much more convenient to use than wood. Gade will deliver Wellington coal in quantities to suit.

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 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, and no family after once using, would be without it. It is simple in its construction and not liable to get out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is within the reach of all.
