The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... DECEMBER 13, 1894. On the very heels of Mr. Havemeyer’s statement that the Sugar Trust was on the verge of collapse comes the telegram announcing a 12 per cent dividend by the monopoly. Need there be any further evidence to prove that the statement of this sugar baron, to the effect that the refineries have closed down because of the insufficiency of “protection,” is calculated to mislead the people in his evident attempt to saddle them with reproach? What with protecting these millionaires already to the strangulation of our beef and hog interests in France, Germany, Austria and Belgium and other foreign lands, and to the extent of the material appreciation in the price of sugar paid by the poor, the closing down of these refineries should emphasize the fact that, as the President says, sugar presents a hopeless case for reasonable legislative aid. The protection to be accorded the Sugar Trust—as well as that accorded other “protected” industries—should be placed at the very minimum figure consistent with placing them upon an equality with their foreign competitors. Is not the fact that this monopoly’s dividend of 12 per cent, when business is so depressed as to result in the closing of their refineries and to place their affairs, as Havemeyer tells us, upon the verge of “collapse”—isn’t this sufficient to illustrate the fact that these people are already quite sufficiently “protected”? This amassing of great wealth in the hands of the low, to the impoverishment of the many, aggravated by the turning out of employment of thousands of laborers that the rich may reap their illegitimate roward at the expense of the poor, to say nothing of the legions of unemployed roaming the country at large, may yet result in open rebellion—that has been the history of these struggles from the time of the beginning. Let us have free sugar, and a bounty to the sugar producer, viz., the farmers who grow the beets and cane. THE GRAND JURY REPORT. The Grand Jury return no indictments, differing in that particular from their illustrious predecessors of a year ago, who re-opened and kept open the entire distance to the ocean. The assignees of the B. F. Seibert bank failure at Santa Ana a dozen years or so ago—Messrs C. F. Manser and C. W. Wilcox—report cash on hand $9,102 90. All the deposits on hand draw interest at the rate of 3 per cent, compounded semi annually, and amounts, at the present time, to $552 91. This interest the assignes say belong to the depositors, having accrued upon their money. After the payment of the first dividend this money slowly accumulated until 1892, since which time little has been collected or received. A bank in liquidation is very slow work, to be sure. The county road have been driven over, and some are found to be in fair condition, some are middling, and some—notably one between here and Santa Ana this side of the bridge—is very bad indeed. The bridge itself is found to be quite as bad as the road leading up to it, some of the piling having disappeared, leaving it insufficiently supported. No permanent relief can be expected until the county road is removed from its present location along the railroad track and a new bridge constructed a half mile north. The first bridge below the Yorba crossing is in need of immediate attention, and that below Mr. Kirby’s place at Peralta over the water ditch is unsafe, and a new bridge is recommended. The report is interesting reading even if there are no indictments. A LITTLE LEAVEN leaventh the whole lump. By request of the Christian Endeavor societies we place at their disposal a column to be dedicated to their uses, and to be filled up with bright, crisp Endeavor news. Mr. Holcomb of Fullerton has been selected as editor, and his first contribution would seem to prove what we have all along known, that in the editorial chair he is easily abreast of any of the best of us! We hope the column will be conductive of good to all Christian Endeavorers in this part of the county, by whom the column will be read, if no other part of the paper, serving to bring them together into closer bonds of Christian good-fellowship, and that they may all profit by the interchange of views of one society with another. And we hope they will all become readers of the best paper in the county—we are too modest to say which it is.

A man whose name is withheld by the officials of the bank rushed up to the cashier window in the Sprague National Bank Brooklyn, on Monday, and asked if one his checks had been disallowed. He was formed that his account had been drawn.The cashier produced sundry cheques bearing the name of the depositor.The latter sured the cashier that there were checks amounting to $600 he had never signed.“Well,” said the paying-teller, who but just come upon the scene，“they were presented by your son.” The discovery of the forgery was communicated to the directors of the bank and THE GRAND JURY REPORT The Grand Jury return no indictments, differing in that particular from their illustrious predecessors of a year ago, who returned seven, none of which, however, could be made to "stick" in court. They considered the propriety of returning one or more notably a charge of bigamy already referred to in those columns, but on account of a lack of evidence and a virtuous desire to keep down the expenses of the county to the minimum notch, they studiously refrained from so doing, the nearest approach to this feature of Grand Jury work being the depreciation of the practice by an officer and a Justice of the Peace of this township—the names are not furnished—of taking money from arrested parties and pocketing the same without bringing the accused to trial. This cannot be too severely denounced, but the blame it seems to us falls more severely upon the Justice, who ought to have known and probably did know better, than upon the youthful officer who was probably not aware of the illegality of his action. The Grand Jury refers to the reprehensible practice of some of the Justices fining priors in an amount sufficient only to cover the costs of the action, without regard to the gravity of the offense. This abominable practice should be frowned down, and the punishment in all cases be made to fit the crime. Our city bastile is found to be a disgrace to civilization. But the Grand Jury fail to tell us whether we should house our criminals in upholstered apartments, and in the absence of any recommendation to that effect, the bastile will probably stand, a terror to evil-doers of high and low degree. Prisoners have been known to weaken at the knees, and cry out aloud in their auguish, on seeing the yawning chamom of this useful apartment house in the maintenance of the law, that they would never do it again, and, boisterous when arrested, they are very contrite and meek and broken spirited in the justice's court in the morning. If they wish to escape the terrors of the jail, let them so deport themselves as to take no chance of being placed within its whitewashed walls. As to sanitation and ventilation, it is probably as satisfactory as the average jail, and we never have a jail delivery, as they do every once in a while at Santa Ana. Prisoners placed in the bastile remain there until called for. It is our purpose to keep the promises as clean as possible, but the tramps who infested the jail previous to the committee's examination, are responsible for much of the blame which is heaped upon us. This brings us to the suggestion that the Supervisors and councils of incorporated towns should confer as to the best mode of dealing thousands of laborers that the rich may reap their illegitimate reward at the expense of the poor, to say nothing of the legions of unemployed roaming the country at large, may yet result in open rebellion—that has been the history of these struggles from the time of the beginning. Let us have free sugar, and a bounty to the sugar producer, viz., the farmers who grow the beets and cane. A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch of Saturday says: It is positively denied to-day that Class Spreckels has purchased from Richard Gird the China ranch on an Asian farm with close bonds of Christian good-fellowship, and that they may all profit by the interchange of views of one society with another. And we hope they will all become readers of the best paper in the county—we are too modest to say which it is. A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch of Saturday says: It is positively denied to-day that Class Spreckels has purchased from Richard Gird the China ranch on an Asian farm with close bonds of Christian good-fellowship, and that they may all profit by the interchange of views of one society with another. And we hope they will all become readers of the best paper in the county—we are too modest to say which it is. This is evidently somewhat mixed. Spreckels has not purchased the sugar factory, of course, and no report to that effect has been given out. He was understood to be a purchaser of the ranch, or a large part of it, and as it is known that he has for some years past been anxious to invest in beet land hereabouts and the Chino ranch was for sale cheap, it will take more than the above denial it seems to us to set the matter at rest. A later dispatch in line with that quoted above is to the effect that Spreckels' check was for investment in Government bonds, but a gentleman in position to know tells us that Spreckels already owns the Chino refinery, or a large part of it, and there is no need of his purchasing what he already owes! But the question arises, Did Spreckels buy the ranch, and what is he going to do with the land on the Alamitos west of town bonded by him some months ago? CONSIDERABLE interest is being taken here in the efforts of the people of San Francisco to provide a ward for incurables at the Children's Hospital in that city. Some of the charitably disposed ladies and gentlemen of this city have taken the matter in hand and already quite a neat sum has been collected to be forwarded to San Francisco. All moneys left at this office will be included in the total amount, and the names of the donors published with the amount of their contribution. The San Francisco people are working enthusiastically with this humane point in view, and their efforts have been cordially seconded on the part of the people of State. Let us add our mite for their establishment of a ward for incurables children. A Jockey with a Princely Salary New York, December 9.-A seventeen-year-old boy will leave this city for San Francisco to morrow whose actual earnings this year were more than the combined salaries of Senators Hill and Murphy, and whose earnings next year will be greater than the salaries of half of President Cleveland's Cabinet. He is a pleasant, smooth-faced, well behaved little boy, whose total height is only five feet two inches, or three feet and half an inch are legs. His arms are two feet... ing placed within its whitewashed walls. As to sanitation and ventilation, it is probably as satisfactory as the average jail, and we never have a jail delivery, as they do every once in a while at Santa Ana. Prisoners placed in the bastile remain there until called for. It is our purpose to keep the promises as clean as possible, but the tramps who infested the jail previous to the committee's examination, are responsible for much of the blame which is heaped upon us. This brings us to the suggestion that the Supervisors and councils of incorporated towns should confer as to the best mode of dealing with the tramp question. These arrogant naiaances should not be dealt with in any chicken-hearted way. They steal everything they can lay their hands upon, frighten women, and when in superior number have been known to "stand up" people in approved fashion. Many of these Weary Raggleses now infest Orange county are criminals, and most of them would not work if given a chance. A temporary chain gang is the only solution to this vexatious question. Sixty-eight indigents, of whom more than half are Mexicans, cost the county $556 27 per month, an increase of $125 27 per month over a year ago, when we had 47 of these poor people amongst us. In addition $735 was expended during the year for "special" and "urgent" cases—over a hundred dollars per month altogether. The county receives from the State an allowance for indigents 60 years of age and over, and for orphans and half orphans kept out of poor farms, which has amounted during the year to $3,960. We think the indigent list could be very advantageously pared down. It is growing constantly, like a noxious weed, and mendicants spring up all around us like mushrooms in the night. Let us deal with liberal spirit toward the poor, but let no advantages be taken with our bounty. Fifteen thousand dollars were expended upon the roads of the county, a thousand dollars in our road district, $950 at Buena Park, and $1,538 79 at Fullerton. The figures are given in full in a tabulated statement appearing upon the first page, together with the receipts and disbursements of the county for the year. The Grand Jury are of the opinion that if these expenditures had been made judiciously and the work done systematically, the roads had been in much better condition. We have no doubt of it. The operations of the present road law have therefore not resulted beneficially, and its immediate repeal is recommended. The amount expanded on the Santa Ana river to prevent its overflow was $15,378 23, and the work done appears to be of only temporary character. No permanent benefit in the opinion of the Grand Jury can be derived on those river expenditures unless the channel A Jockey with a Princely Salary New York, December 9.—A seventeen-year-old boy will leave this city for San Francisco to-morrow whose actual earnings this year were more than the combined salaries of Senators Hill and Murphy, and whose earnings next year will be greater than the salaries of half of President Cleveland's Cabinet. He is a pleasant, smooth-faced, well behaved little boy, whose total height is only five feet two inches, of which three feet and half an inch are legs. His arms are two feet five inches long, while his weight is only ninety-six pounds. It is this liberality in legs and arms, with the accompanying absence of flesh, which enables 'the boy to make more money than all these political gentlemen. The long-legged boy's name is Henry Griffin, and he is the greatest lightweight jockey in America. Griffin goes to the Bay District track to ride for Tom Williams. He will be accompanied by Jimmy Rowe, who will be associate judge. Griffin will ride for Gideon & Daly next season and this firm will pay him $10,500 for his services. In addition to this salary he will get from them $25 for every winning mount and $10 for every losing mount. He will probably be paid anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 by some one of the big owners for second call on his services, and in addition can ride for any outsider when his employers have nothing in the race. As Griffin will average four months a day, and as he receives handsome presents from men who lack their horses, it will readily be seen that his income next season will be more than $30,000. This will be the largest salary ever made by a jockey in this country, far surpassing the earnings of McLaughlin and "Snapper" Garrison when they were in their prime. The Commercial Bank of Newfoundland, having headquarters in St. Johns, N. F., has suspended payment owing to the failure of several of the largest fish exporting houses to respond to their liabilities to the bank. This has involved other banks and has crippled some other concerns there. Four have closed their premises and others will close. Small depositors are demanding gold from the Union and Savings banks, and the gold reserve is being steadily drained. If they are able to meet the run everything is safe. But the chief danger is the difficulty of getting more gold into the country. At present the people are very peaceful, and seem unable to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Business men are trying to effect an arrangement with London bankers or with Canada concerna, which will be urged to extend business to St. Johns. While workmen were engaged in digging a canal from the rear of the city of New Orleans to Lake Ponchachartrain they struck a cannon ball about the size of a man's flat. Save for rust it was as well preserved as the day it was fired from Pakenham's cannon at the battle of New Orleans in 1812. There is no doubt of its authenticity, the stamp of the maker giving conclusive proof. About 200 yards further was found a second ball similar to the first. AMERICUS VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.
