The case of Chong Sam, a Chinaman who entered the United States from Canada, and who was ordered deported to China, has been finally disposed of. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister, interested himself in the case on the ground that the man had a domiciliary residence in Canada, and should therefore be allowed to return to Canada, and in order to accomplish that purpose he urged that the President grant a pardon to the Chinaman. The President wrote to the Secretary of State as follows: "I have had under consideration the case of Chong Sam, a Chinese subject who crossed from the Dominion of Canada to the United States, and was arrested at Port Huron for a violation of our Exclusion act, and in whose behalf Sir Julian Pauncefote, her Majesty's" BEET SUGAR. HOW NAPOLEON BONAPARTE DUCED THE INDUSTRY INTO ENGLAND. Among the things which Napoleon partis not remembered for is the element of the best-sugar industry in England. It was his encouragement, given it was the almost absolute ruler of the empire, which raised the making of beets from the field of struggle periment fitfully engaged in by men who were regarded as visionaries of the practical position which has finally it a larger and more important business the world through, than the manufacture of cane sugar. Although the great Napoleon was sort of man whom it was ordinarily laugh at, he was ridiculed and cast on account of his faith that sugar made profitable from beets. In 1811 the emperor promised that people that they should have sugars beats if he excluded from France the merce of England, including the sale of the British West Indies. This promise to the publication of a caricature writer in the Young's Company, in the emperor and his little son, the Rome, were represented. The emperor was shown sitting boy's nursery, squeezing a best-root cup of coffee. The baby prince sat him, hard at work sucking a best-root nurse, standing close by, was reared as exclaiming, "Suck it, dear, your papa says it is sugar!" This biting sarcasm did not prevent poleon from spending several million at a time when his empire was under mendous strain of expenditure, in lieu for sugar made from beets, and his has been vindicated at last by the fact within the past five years, the world's production of best sugar has risen all production of cane sugar by more Anaheim, Cal.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister, interested himself in the case on the ground that the man had a domiciliary residence in Canada, and should therefore be allowed to return to Canada, and in order to accomplish that purpose he urged that the President grant a pardon to the Chinaman. The President wrote to the Secretary of State as follows: "I have had under consideration the case of Chong Sam, a Chinese subject who crossed from the Dominion of Canada to the United States, and was arrested at Port Huron for a violation of our Exclusion act, and in whose bearth Sir Julian Pauncefote, her Majesty's Minister to this capital, has made some representations and the request that this man should be returned to Canada. You will please say to Sir Julian that if this were a single case it would give this Government great pleasure to show its consideration by complying with his request; but there is involved in this case, in my opinion, the whole question of the success and enforcement of our exclusion ada. If Chinam can land in Canada and suffer no other penalty for crossing our line that that of being returned to Canada, whence they may again repeat their attempt to enter our territory, our law becomes practically a dead letter. I have, therefore, directed the Secretary of the Treasury to send this man back to China. It is probable that the question of whether it is right under our law can be decided by an application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of this man." Instructions were sent to the Collector of Customs at Port Huron in accordance with the foregoing, and the Collector was directed to request the Marshal to deliver the prisoner into the custody of the Collector of Customs at San Francisco, if habeas corpus proceeding are not promptly instituted. Greeley's Masterful Speech. Delivered in Santa Ana August 24th in favor of the county high school: "We did not expect there would be any opposition to the matter when it was first brought up. No county is so well situated for a county high school. There is so community but that could send pupils to the high school. The opposition so strongly waged is not an opposition to the high school. They don't talk high school; they talk against Santa Ana—to down Santa Ana. The opposition have so far as to look up the law to see who is going to be benefited. They say Santa Ana wants a Courthouse, and they urge that they will teach those Santa Ana follows that they don't run Orange county. There would be no opposition if these people thoroughly understood the question, and were not led astray by their prejudice." "And what shall we say," asks the Orange News, "of our School Superintendent? Our cheeks mantle with shame that any official of Orange county should descend so low as to appeal to the lowest and most brutal passions of the human breast for the purpose of carrying a point! Nothing in the annals of anarchism could be worse than this! Will Santa Ana permit herself to be played upon and her jealousy fanned into a flame by every demagogue who wishes to use her? Have we not declared over and over that we merely wish to discuss and protect our mutual interests, those of the whole county? When will Santa Ana feel so secure and at the same time be so disposed to deal justly that she can say: 'Come, let us reason together over this matter.'" The emperor was shown sitting boy's nursery, squeezing a best-routed cup of coffee. The baby prince himself, hard at work sucking a best-routed nurse, standing close by, was read as exclaiming. "Suck it, dear, and your papa says it is sugar!" This biting sarcasm did not prevent poison from spending several millions at a time when his empire was under mendous strain of expenditure, in which for sugar made from beets, and his has been vindicated at last by the fact within the past five years, the world production of best sugar has risen all production of cane sugar by more million of tons. By far the greater part of this beet is raised and consumed in Europe. If the sugar ordinarily used there just, sugar is the sort almost universally used in America. Beest sugar may be bought in certain in our Eastern cities. To the taste it be distinguished from the best cane except by experts, who say it is rinsweetes than most cane sugar. It is not made from the common red beet, but from a white beet—varieties varying upon a pink color—has been developed by cultivation and until its juices yield a proportion from ten to sixteen per cent of sugar. Almost a hundred years of experiment hard work were needed before the cation of the best for sugar became pure in Europe. No crop in the world runs more painstaking and scientific culture to make it success and none rebukes going methods more promptly. The sugar-beet-raising, indeed, is tainted in Europe, seems almost a rather than an industry. The chemist's work comes at even He must test the sweetness of the bed elements of the soil and the fertilizer and watch the successive processes of facture. The meteorologist must suitled regarding conditions of climate heat and cold in the growing and rainy season, and the proportion of moisture in the air. Satisfactory conditions of soil and seed being obtained, money must be spared in the cultivation of the root soil should be deep and good to begin and fertilizers—not raw, but well and fully rotted—must be generously applied. Then there should be subsoil cultivated and a great deal of careful working. The raising of the seed is a little scientiiself. Fire years of cultivation of "beets," as the beets chosen to furnish are called, are required before the seed fit to plant. That is to say, successive are selected and planted for that last time, progressing from sweet to sweaty till the sort of seed is obtained from will grow a profitable crop of sugar beet. The first sugar-beet in the series is in "grand mother beet." She is chosen begin with because her juice is found chemical test to be the sweetest of them. Then from among her sweetest progenies choose a "mother beet;" from that age and so on down. One-fourth of the area of soil given raising of bakes is often devoted to the duction of seed; and upwards of mother beats are planted to the acre. French farmers have in many cases ceeded in raising from twenty to thirty of sugar beets to the acre, which yields and even four tons of sugar. At this production the farmer can afford, as done in France and Germany, to provide worth of fertilizer upon a single acre in a single year. ALLETE STOCK! Best Wines, Liquors and Cigars.

French farmers have in many cases ceeded in raising from twenty to thirty of sugar beets to the acre, which yield and even four tons of sugar. At this production the farmer can afford, as done in France and Germany, to pay worth of fertilizer upon a single acre in a single year. Unlike some other expensive crop cultivation of beet sugar is very good land. A good deal of other products raised at the same time; and the quality of every other crop is raised by the cultivation of the sugar. Its benefits are two-fold.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE INTRODUCED THE INDUSTRY INTO FRANCE. In the things which Napoleon Bonaparte remembered for is the establishment of the beet-sugar industry in Europe, his encouragement, given while he almost absolute ruler of the French, which raised the making of sugar beets from the field of struggling exertionfully engaged in by men of science, were regarded as visionaries, to political position which has finally made her and more important business, tak' world through, than the making of sugar. Though the great Napoleon was not the man whom it was ordinarily safe to tell, he was ridiculed and caricatured out of his faith that sugar could be profitable from beets. All the emperor promised the French that they should have sugar from the excluded from France the comflict England, including the sugars of Irish West Indies. This promise led publication of a caricature, says an on the Youth's Companion, in which error and his little son, the king of were represented. Emperor was shown sitting in his tristy, squeezing a best-root into a coffee. The baby prince sat near and at work sucking a best-root, while standing close by, was represent-claiming, "Suck it, dear, suck it; say it says it is sugar!" Bitting sarcasm did not prevent National spending several million francs, when his empire was under a treasury of expenditure, in bounties made from beets, and his sagacity vindicated at last by the fact that, after five years, the world's yearly amount of cane sugar has risen above its tonnage of cane sugar by more than a quarter. made, and it is hoped that none will be made. But the one fact becomes prominent that when the probability of a conflict with Chile is somewhat increased, the attention of the whole country is turned to the navy; and universal satisfaction is expressed that this country is in a situation to maintain its dignity and authority on the sea as well as on the land. Chile has already taken note of this fact. Nothing is now heard about the domination of the Chilean fleet in North Pacific waters. Nor is there any questioning at home about the expediency of creating a navy sufficient to uphold the authority of the United States. There is not a note of discontent about the policy of creating a new war fleet. Every ship that is put allot to considered to be an important gain either for war or for peace. The whole country is interested in the fighting power of these ships. The speed, the number of guns, their calibre, their tonnage, the number of days that each ship can remain at sea without taking in a new stock of coal—in short, every detail of construction and capacity has become a subject of national interest. All these facts are in striking contrast with the condition of things that existed in this country ten years ago. Mosby a Man of Nerve. "The man with the coolest nerve I ever met," said Colonel A. E. Seifert, who was in a reminiscent mood, in New York the other day, "was Colonel John S. Mosby. I was a high private at Harper's Ferry when that place was captured by Stonewall Jackson in 1862. After waiting for some time for our exchange we were ordered down to Fairfax Court House, Va., where we were on the lookout for Mosby. "One cold, clear night in February, 1863, I was on picket duty on the Warrenton road. I had post two. I was walking my post almost on the double quick, trying to keep warm, when I heard a troop of cavalry coming down the Warrenton road at a quick trot. They were stopped by the man on post one all right, and then came down on my post. When they came close enough to me I halted them." "Friends with the countersign," was the force of some of the fruits of his vineyard or orchard, the distinguished personage not infrequently makes his visit to the editor for his own advantage and not that of the person on whom he calls. The sphere of influence of the country newspaper is a small one, but its boundary is none the less a truer circle than that of its larger contemporary in the city. Its appearance is watched for with as much interest as is any daily newspaper in the city, and it is perused and scanned quite as closely. Everybody knows the editor and knows that his lot is not always cast in pleasant places. His struggles are as familiar to many of his readers as to himself, and they are duly appreciated. If then, under such conditions, a reader gives him a token of that appreciation, even though it be in some such substantial form as to be useful and not merely ornamental, it is nothing to laugh at, much less to sneer at, and the editor would be singularly ungrateful if he did not acknowledge the kindness by the heartfelt, though possibly somewhat too familiar and back-nayed invitation, "Call again, John." Frost Bitten Oranges. San Bernardino advises say that the cold wave of Christmas night did extensive damage to the orange crop and nursery stock in that county. The coldest weather appeared to center where fruit was grown in the greatest abundance at Riverside. A trip through Highlands shows no damage by frosts except in the lower lands below the base line toward the Santa Ana river. In some localities tender shoots have been nipped, but fruit is uninjured and no damage to trees is discernible in this section. At South Redlands the damage is confined to the lower lands and very little injury is found on the upper slopes mesas to the westward at Rialto, Etiwanda, Cucamonga and Ontario, with little damage to tender growths. At North San Bernardino, where the Arrowhead lemon orchard of 400 acres is to be planted, the lemon trees will hardly lose any leaves, and fruit on bearing orchards is absolutely untouched by frost.

The greater part of this beet sugar and consumed in Europe. It is now ordinarily used there just as cane sort almost universally used here in sugar may be bought in certain stores cantities. To the taste it cannot quit from the best cane sugar, experts, who say it is richer in most cane sugar.

I was walking my post almost on the double quick, trying to keep warm, when I heard a troop of cavalry coming down the Warrenton road at a quick trot. They were stopped by the man on post one all right, and then came down on my post. When they came close enough to me I halted them. "Friends with the countersign," was the answer to my challenge. "One man dismount and advance with the countersign," was my next command. A well dressed officer dismounted and advanced to the point of my haynet and gave the countersign Jamaica. "Countersign correct.' I shouted. 'Pass on." There were about three hundred of them; a motley crew in appearance, but they were a jolly lot, singing, talking and laughing. They passed on, and was due time I was relied upon and soon was sound sleep. Early the next morning the sergeant of the guard roused me up and told me I was wanted at headquarters. In charge of an orderly I went. When I got there the man who was on post one ahead of me. He was unhered into the presence of General Alexander Hayes, our commanding officer, and when he came out I went in. "You had post two at — last night?' demanded the general. "I had air," Tell me about the troop of cavalry that passed your post. I told him what had happened. "Wall," he said grimly, "you did it," and he dismissed me. I discovered pretty soon that the man I had passed were Mosby's command, with Mosby at their head. They had ridden through the entire camp, taken the tent of one of the general officers, mounted it on a mule and escaped with it to the Confederate lines. "How did he get the password? We found that out afterward. At one of the outpasts was the raawest kind of a raw recruit. While he was on picket duty a man dressed in a captain's uniform, with the red sash of the officer of the day across his breast, approached him. He challenged, and the officer responded. "Officer of the day with the countersign." "Advance and give the countersign." The officer advanced and gave a word which was not the correct one. That's not right,' said the soutinel,' and you can't pass. After considerable wrangling, the officer insisted that his word was right, and exclaimed angrily. "What word have you got?" The man said. The sergeant of the guard gave me the word "Jamaica," and nobody can pass without it." The officer was no other than Mosby himself. He had all he wanted, and waiting for night, got his men together and made the successful raid. For cool nerve it beat anything I ever heard of." Highlands shows no damage by frosts except in the lower lands below the base line toward the Santa Ana river. In some localities teader shoots have been nipped, but fruit is uninjured and no damage to trees is discernible in this section. At South Redlands the damage is confined to the lower lands and very little injury is found on the upper slopes mesas to the west-ward at Kialto, Etiwianda, Cucamonga and Ontario, with little damage to tender growths. At North San Bernardino, where the Arrowhead lemon orchard of 400 acres is to plant, the lemon trees will hardly lose any leaves, and fruit on bearing orchards is absolutely untouched by frost. The record of the thermometer at Riverside is the lowest for years. For over ten hours the temperature there was below freezing, and the minimum figures reached was from 21 to 28 above zero. The damage to the orange crop is somewhat overestimated. The orange crop was estimated at 1,600 carloads, but it is doubtful if it now exceeds 1,200 carloads. The orange crop of Southern California was estimated at 5,000 carloads, but owing to heavy winds in Los Angeles county and the recent frosts the estimate is cut down to 3,000 carloads. Of this loss 500 carloads are credited to San Bernardino county and 1,500 to Los Angeles. It is believed that owing to these losses the orange crop of this county will bring producers nearly as many dollars as though no loss had been sustained. Some orchardists will lose while others will gain. Poor People "Cinched." Los Angeles Herald. There are few persons in the community who pursue a vocation that is within the sanction of the law who practice greater acts of injustice and heartlessness than those who make it a business to purchase tax titles at delinquent tax sales. There may be exceptions to the rules, but we have heard of many instances of downright "cinching" of poor people who had been fortunate enough to have this tax-title cloud placed upon their homes that we are satisfied the exceptions are very rare. Speculators who make a business of buying tax titles are rarely, if ever, troubled with such an inconvenience as a conscience, and the size of their demand when redemption is asked for is only limited by the amount they think they can squeeze out of a poor delinquent who has fallen into their elutches. A case was cited to us yesterday in which one of these operators had the temerity to ask $500 to release the tax cloud on a widow's lot that had cost him only a couple of dollars. Why the law does not interpose against this kind of shameful extortion is one of the bleimishes in our revenue system. These speculators ought to be allowed interest on their money, and that interest might be graduated upwards so that it would make a handsome return to them. But why the law should leave the amount to be paid for the release of a tax title optional with the buyer is incomprehensible. PEACH YELLOWS. A Warning to Fruit Growers-Danger of Introduction to California-Warning to Intending Purchases. By B. M. Lelong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture.

Call again, John." Whenever this sort of an item appears the alleged comic papers take it up and copy it though it were something extremely ridiculous and out of place in a newspaper. They make fun of the Bugle, its editor, his sanctum, John Smith, his orchard and his apples, and call upon their readers to unite with them in their hilarity. There is nothing ridiculous or even humorous in this kind of a paragraph, says the San Francisco Chronicle, nor anything which is at variance with any tenet or doctrine of journalism. The country paper is published for the people of its immediate vicinity, and its chief interest is found in the kindly, friendly personal element which enters into it. It is of interest to all of the friends of John Smith to know that he has been in town, that he called on the editor of the Bugle and found him in his office; that the orchard is doing well and that the editor enjoyed the apples. What is there in this that is not legitimate journalism, or to which anybody except the editor of a paper which is struggling desperately to be funny could take exception? When a great metropolitan daily announces that its editor has received a call from a United States Senator or from a Governor, or from any person of distinction, as such newspapers frequently do, it does not strike the comic papers as being a proper subject for ridicule, and why should they have one rule for the city newspapers and another for the country? The principle is precisely the same, except that whereas John Smith, out of the goodness of his heart, brings the edi- PEACH YELLOWS.
