The assault which was made on the McKinley bill was based in part on the assertion that the act was void because of the sugar bounty provision. The Supreme Court of the United States in deciding the case said upon this point that the argument that the validity of the whole act was involved in the question as to whether the bounty clause is valid was so obvious an error as not to warrant much argument. There is no such connection between this part of the act and the other sections as to warrant the court in assuming that the rest would not bar of a brooch, which is to be a shield bearing the coat of arms of Montana reproduced in native gold, without a trace of alley in its composition. The shield will be of gold, and the symbolical figures will be made of the same metal, but of different colors. The waterfall in the foreground will be of light colored gold sunk into the shield, and the plow and pick, standing at the foot of the falls, will be of a darker shade, as will be the background or relief. The wreath surrounding the escutcheon will be of native gold, and the figures of the two men supporting the whole on either side will also be of the same rich yellow gold. Underneath will be the scroll bearing the motto of the State, "Oro y Plata." In the two upper portions of the wreath two Montana sapphires will be inserted. Instead of merely engraving the figures each will be wrought separately and then fastened together, making the task of shaping the brooch not only a delicate but exceedingly difficult one, and one that will require much skill and patience. To Mrs. J. E. Rickards of Butte belongs the credit of the happy idea of making the last nail one of such interest. In design the nail, which is being made by a Butte jeweler, will be the counterpart of an ordinary twelve-penny nail and will be composed of three strips with silver sides. The nail and brooch are distinct articles, and after the former has been driven it will be drawn from the wood, fastened to the brooch and the whole presented to Mrs. Palmer. The women of Nebraska have undertaken to furnish the hammer with which this "last nail" will be driven. A description of the hammer has not yet been given, but it is the intention to make it worthy of the artistic nail with which it will be brought in contact by Mrs. Palmer. It has been suggested that it be made of native Nebraska woods, inlaid with gold, silver and pearl. The Home Paper.

NGELES STREET, ANAHEIM, CAL. The assault which was made on the McKinley bill was based in part on the assertion that the act was void because of the sugar bounty provision. The Supreme Court of the United States in deciding the case said upon this point that the argument that the validity of the whole act was involved in the question as to whether the bounty clause is valid was so obvious an error as not to warrant much argument. There is no such connection between this part of the act and the other sections as to warrant the court in assuming that the rest would not have been adopted but for the adoption of the bounty system. They are entirely separate in purpose. This means simply that the Supreme Court has not passed on the validity of the sugar bounty clause, because it saw no necessity for so doing. The question stands just where it did before as to the legality of that provision. At the same time there should be no reasonable doubt as to what the court would hold if the matter were presented directly. The payment of bounties is only protection in a concrete form, that is, the advancement of a specialized line of industries for the purpose of excluding undue foreign competition and benefiting both the American producer and the American consumer. The payment of sugar bounties out of the national treasury is no different in principle from granting money for internal improvements. In each case the immediate benefit accrues to a limited class or a particular locality, but the whole people of the United States share in the ultimate advantage, and this makes appropriations of this kind entirely defensible under the general welfare clause of the Constitution. It is not to be assumed that the Supreme Court will hold every act of Congress unconstitutional for which there is not a warrant in express terms in the organic law. The tendency for the past quarter of a century has been to interpret the Constitution in accordance with the needs and demands of the great body of the American people, and to this there is no objection except on the part of those who imagine they can discover some political advantage in assuming the role of strict constructionists.

Mrs. Ella Kilgore in the Sacramento Record-Union: When you got married to the brightest and best girl in the vicinity, where did you look for that notice that meant so much to you, and so little to nearly everybody else? To your home paper. When your home was invaded by the blue-eyed girl, or that bouncing baby boy, to whom did you make it your business to convey early information concerning the event? To the editor of the home paper. In after years, when some mały young fellow takes the blue-eyed girl to a home of his own, or your once bouncing boy—now a man—is given a partnership in the store because he has just brought home somebody else's daughter and set up an establishment of his own, to whom do you personally exhibit the wedding presents, and load up with the bride's cake? And to whom do you look for that complete description of the interesting event down to the last pickle-fork and individual salt dish, which once more means so much to you and so little to any one else? To this same editor of that same home paper. And when sorrow and death come to your home, and you add to your possessions that desolate bit of reality—the lot in the cemetery—and somehow she sun does not shine as brightly as it used to, and the light has gone out of your life, and sorrow and sadness fill your heart, once so light and free; and the chair which has for years been beside yours at the table, is vacant—when all this happens, who makes it his business to write in tender strain of the one whose life had grown to be a part of you, and whose sympathy and good deeds to others have long been known and recognized, if never publicly announced? The editor of your home paper. Uncle Jerry Is In the Field. Jerry Rusk, for President, is the latest thing in the political line in Washington. They say he doesn't know it, and hasn't been even consulted, but a number of Republican Senators have agreed to take up the farmer statesmen from Wisconsin at the proper time and nominate him, if they can swing enough votes to do it. For some time the Senator and others who are opposed to Harrison have been looking for a man to beat the President. Blaine's letter was somewhat of a disappointment to them. Yet some of them still believe that the nomination of Blaine is the only way out of it, and a prominent Senator who does not take kindly to the Rusk idea says that his party would nominate Blaine at Minnesota as sure as that convention met and Blaine lived till the day of balloting.

If he would talk of anything save himself and his own affairs the garrulous bore might not be so objectionable; but the steady flow of tiresome sounds all come from one source—egotism. Unhappily, the living phonograph cannot be turned off by a crank or pin. His unhappy victim can only listen in mute despair. If our modern wizard, Edison, would but invent some attachment whereby a bore could be stopped short at every ten words, mankind would rise up and bless him. And here let me add a caution to those loquacious persons who weary others, but possibly without actual guilty intention. When the helpless victim becomes silent, and makes no effort to stom the Niagara of your talk with the frail shallop of his own little chirp, he is, ten to one, a prey to silent despair, and not, as you fondly imagine, overcome with auditory delight. As he grows more and more quiet he is, sooth to say, nearer and nearer the land of slumber, to which alas! politeness forbids him to fly. This is the precise moment when, if you are merciful, you will allow him to escape in peace. A Wonderful Last Nail.

The necessary arrangements for capital to build and equip the factory cannot be made in time for this season's crop, and of course beet will not be planted without assurances of the factory being ready to receive them. It is to be hoped that when the factory is equipped it will be with American machinery; there is no reason in the world why superior machinery in that line as well as any other cannot be made in America.

Two Beautiful Evening Stars. For months the western sky has presented a scene of unusual beauty in the evening after sunset. The two most magnificent stars of our homisphere, Venus and Jupiter gradually approached one another, stood direct line or conjunction a few moments and then passed on. Venus apparently going upward toward the zenith, Jupiter going down toward the sunset. Since midsummer 1891, Jupiter has been a splendid object—the southern sky, apparently moving freest from west. Now he moves away from and grows dimmer, while Venus, though Jupiter is 1,400 times as large, outshines it giant, because Venus is so much near to us. Though they appear to be moving in exactly opposite directions—Venus eastward—they are in reality moving around the sun in the same direction all the planets there. They are upon different parts of the curve that is all, like rays that seem to be moving in opposite directions around a track. One has simply passed the other and is going up on the other side. The presence of two such splendid stars as Jupiter and Venus in such brightness at the same time is rare indeed, as their conjunction when they are so near us is still rarer. Unfortunately we cannot see it on this continent. At the moment when Venus neared the big planet, stood line with him a moment, passed and there appeared above him in the sky, it was in morning hours, long after both had dis which is to be a shield bearer of Montana reproduced without a trace of alley in its shield will be of gold, all figures will be made of different colors.

Igore in the Sacramento When you got married to best girl in the vicinity, look for that notice that meant so little to nearly peared below the horizon. Though they seemed so near together the night before and after their conjunction, yet they were 418., 000,000 miles apart, or more than four times as far as the sun is distant from us. Venus, meanwhile, will continue her upward shining way. In the lifetime of the present generation she will scarcely be so brilliant again as at the beginning of June the present year. She is a brilliant star now, but on June 2nd she will be twice as bright as she is at present. This magnificent planet will then be visible to the naked eye in the daytime. At night it will be so bright that it will cast a shadow. Jupiter cast a shadow—a faint one—at midsummer in 1891, but Venus' shadow will knock that of Jupiter all out. Venus will remain at her brightest from June 2 to June 17. After that she will begin the retrograde motion. July 9th she will become a morning star. While Venus is near-cat to us this summer it is expected that one very important point will be determined—whether, like the moon, she presents always the same side to us, performing a revolve around the sun in the same time that she rotates upon her axis. The astronomer Schiaparelli declares this to be the case. Indemnity From Chill. The State Department has received from the attorney who is prosecuting the claims of the Baltimore sailors who were injured by the riot at Valparaiso claims of five more of the crew, aggregating $225,000. The department now has claims of these men amounting to more than $2,000,000. Secretary Blaine has notified the Navy Department that the damages asked are entirely out of reason, and that even one-tenth of the sum claimed would be liberal, adding to this that no demand for such large sums will be made. Cliff is very anxious to know what action the United States will take with regard to these demands, and she will be relieved to know that the State Department will not accuse any exorbitant claims. It is sheer nonsense, to say nothing of impudence, to put in claims for $2,000,000 and upwards for injuries received in the Valpa- riel Rapid Transit road by the Terminal. This line extends from Los Angeles to Monrovia, along the Sierra Madre foothills, with a branch to Pasadena. It traverses the famous ranches of L. J. Rose and E. J. Baldwin. It has a length of twenty miles. It is now a narrow-gauge road, but is to be turned over to the Terminal Company and changed to a standard-gauge. The Fraudulent Pension Bureau: The movement among the old soldiers to put a check on pension grabbing is as significant as it is gratifying. The organization of the Society of Loyal Volunteers to oppose the indiscriminate granting of pensions to the unworthy gives ample evidence that the pension grabbers are not the only persons entitled to speak for the veterans of the late war. The Society of Loyal Volunteers has been formed with the object of preventing the raid on the Treasury by the unworthy under pension Grab Act and to aid the deserving veteran to obtain the support that is now given to the camp followers with a political "pull." "We want," said a member of the State organization in New York the other day, "to put a stop to the shameless trading in patriotism that has been going on. We make it one of our aims to see that pension legislation be so revised and safeguarded that the honor, as well as the necessities, of the soldiers and sailors shall be fully recognized. We are determined to agitate for the amendment of the pension laws in reference to the giving of pensions to persons on the ground of their inability to earn a support by manual labor." It is time that such a protest were heard from the men meet nearly concerned. When the Commissioner of Pensions swells his estimates for the coming year by $12,000,000 within two months from making them public, and calls for $160,000,000; it is well that the men who fought should give the politicians to understand that they did not fight for their country twenty-five years ago to gain the privilege of looting the Treasury afterward.

Machinery The Best. Who Champion. The authority we learn that the operative Beet Sugar Company once operations this year. The arguments for capital to build factory cannot be made in time very built and placed in time's crop, and of course beets without assurances of the ability to receive them. It is The Denver Irrigation Age gives the following very intelligent review of the present condition of Southern California: "About four years ago, after a phenomenal boom, land values in about one-half the great State of California went down with a crash, and many pocketbook was bruised, or killed outright by the flying debris. During the past few months the world has witnessed a resurrection in California almost as wonderful as the historic boom and the subsequent collapse. The California editor of The Age, who was the historian of the former boom, has followed the later developments faithfully in these columns. He has pointed out the fundamental difference between the old boom and the new, and shown that the new one rests upon the solid foundation of irrigation. "Land values are rising again in the southern half of California. Money and people are flowing back again into the channels from which the riotous tide of speculation receded but three or four years ago. The rich smile of prosperity plays again on the beautiful face of the landscape. The fact is that California took her medicine, learned her lesson and is now getting the benefit of it. She learned that no enterprise is worthy to prosper which does not produce something useful to mankind. She learned that no house could stand unless grounded on a sure footing, but that with a good foundation the stateliest edifices could be built. And so, with vivid recollections of her former experience, with a lively appreciation of her soil and climate, and with a full knowledge of the fructifying power of irrigation, she presides forward to new conquests, over a sure pathway. The cultivated area of the State is steadily increasing, and now thousands are making new homes as the sage brush falls back before the garden and the orchard. "We do not know of any country that has shown such recuperative power as California." Amendment of the pension laws in reference to the giving of pensions to persons on the ground of their inability to earn a support by manual labor." It is time that such a protest were heard from the men most nearly concerned. When the Commissioner of Pensions swells his estimates for the coming year by $12,000,000 within two months from making them public, and calls for $160,000,000, it well that the men who fought should give the politicians to understand that they did not fight for their country twenty-five years ago to gain the privilege of looting the Treasury afterward. The pension list of the United States, with the $32,000,000 required for the army, will come within $12,000,000 of equaling the combined expenses of Germany and France in keeping on foot the enormous armies that burden the two great Powers. And as the Commissioner of Pensions has found no difficulty in adding $12,000,000 to his first estimates he can probably make up the difference before the year is out. In 1890-91 Germany spent for its active force of half a million and its enormous reserve, pensions, retired pay and all, $94,000,000. France, with a still larger army, spent $110,000,000. Yet the pension and army charge of the United States is nearly equal to that of both the greatest military powers of the earth combined. It is time to call a halt in this business. The enormous taxation that these expenditures makes necessary prevents the apprehension of money for needed public improvements. Rivers cannot be improved, harbors dredged out, or public buildings erected because the immense war charge takes all the money. The pensions should be confined to those who have no other means of support. The men who served in the armies of the Union should not be allowed to suffer privation, but the loyal veterans should be first to demand that the bounty of the Government should not be given to the unworthy, or to those who can support themselves without public aid. When Victoria Goes Visiting. Queen Victoria likes to travel; but, unfortunately for the comfort and peace of mind of those about her, she has ideas of her own respecting the arrangements. She has a deep-rooted aversion to permitting her faithful subjects to catch a glimpse of her as the royal train runs past railway stations, and the details of the journey are the subject of careful study long before the start. She is going to Costebelle in early part of this month, and she plans already perfected for the trip show what a formidable undertaking it is. Two hotels have been hired for her use during her stay, and the guests have received notice to vacate their rooms three weeks before her expected arrival.

Senator Hill strolled into theroomand remarked that, if convenient, he wouldlike to draw a little money. Senator Hill'srequest was promptly responded to bySecretary McCook's disbursing clerk, who placedbefore him vouchers for an amount aggregatingabout $5,000 and asked him to signthem.Oh, no," said the Senator. "I wantavoucher for my salary from the day Iwas sworn in, the month of January, 1891, up tothe end of February." The Clerk remarkedthat they had a certain amount standingont their books to the credit of the New YorkSenator, and to pay out only a portionof that amount would cause confusion inboth their bookkeeping and that of the TreasuryDepartment. With some brusqueness ofmanner Mr. Hill said this was none of hisbusiness; he wished to draw his salaryfor the actual time he had served in the Senate,and not one cent more. After some furtherparleving the Clerk made out a voucher for$97.09, and this Mr. Bill signed and tooka check for that amount in full paymentof all his claims upon the Senate salaryand mileage fund up to date. The DiabursingClerk stated afterward that the balance leftundrawn was $4,220, which would in duecourse be covered back into the Treasury. The general opinion among the fruit growersin this region is that this is by farthe greatest season ever known for the plantingof olive orchards. The Southern CaliforniaHorticultural Society finds that sinceJanuary 1st over 370,000 olive trees have beenset out and that over 100,000 more are demanded,但 cannot be had.The large returns that California olives and olive oilhave brought in Eastern markets duringthe last year have started this unusual impetusin olive-orchard planting. There are numerousolive-growers in Pomona valleywho cleared from $250 to $300 per acre for theircrops last season. All olive oil producedin that region in '91 has been sold at veryremunerative prices, and there is a call fortwice as much more.
