"I am a supporter of Marshal Steadman, and have been ever since his first election, although his politics and mine on national questions are not at all in harmony," said a citizen on election day. "I am going to the polls to vote for him again. I believe in separating politics as far as possible from the offices to be filled in municipal elections in towns of this size; I believe in going for the best man. That is why I am voting for him. But there is one thing I criticise him for, and which I wish to call your attention to. When he makes his monthly statement of collections, and reports thirty, forty or fifty dollars in delinquencies, I kick. That is not what we taxpayers elect a Marshal or Tax Collector for. I know why it is, though," he continued; "Steadman is too lenient with these fellows who do not pay. This is not for you to put in the paper, but a little criticism might work good results in a matter which several people have been referring to the past week or two. Such delinquencies should be put a stop to." We print these words for what they are worth, and add there is more truth than poetry in them. The fact is, as our friend has stated, Marshal Steadman has been too lenient with a class of users of city water and electric lights who have acquired a bad habit of "standing off" the collector. Some of these fellows, it might be added in passing, fought him the hardest at Monday's election. Steadman has not only been lenient with them, but he has been known to pay the city taxes for poor people rather than have their property sold at delinquent sale. We doubt if he ever received much of this money in return; and thanks for such work—such people never think of such a thing, or the average amount for each individual in the United States, is $26.12, calculating the present population at 77,395,000, against $25.45 one year ago, $23.69 two years ago, $23.01 three years ago, and $24.53 on April 1, 1896. The amount of gold in circulation is also greater than at any corresponding date of any preceding year, the total gold and gold certificates in circulation April 1, 1900, being $785,845,549, against $727,748,591 April 1, 1899; $618,448,941 April 1, 1898; $554,582,096 April 1, 1897, and $489,151,505 April 1, 1896, the increase during the four years being $296,694,044, or 60 per cent. The amount of silver in circulation, including standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver, silver certificates and treasury notes of 1890, which were issued for the purchase of silver bullion and are to be retired when silver is coined and put in circulation, amounts to $631,133,-689, against $626,982,804 April 1, 1899; $610,661,729 April 1, 1898; $569,024,775 April 1, 1897, and $558,-524,447 April 1, 1896. The expenses of the Riverside county Horticultural Commission for the month of March amounted to $1444.68, according to advices from that locality. Of this amount $702 was expended for new fumigating tents. Thirteen inspectors were employed, at a cost of $533.03. The salary of the three Commissioners amounted to $196, or $65 each. Orange county, according to Commissioner Huntington, expended for salaries of Commissioners, during the same time, not to exceed $75. Mr. Huntington's bill for services rendered during the month amounted to $44, and he informs us those of the other two Commissioners did not exceed $30. No expenditure was incurred for fumigating tents, nor was any expense incurred for inspectors. That is perhaps one reason why the fame of Riverside's oranges reaches to the uttermost confines of the world. We produce just as fine fruit in Orange county as the growers at Riverside, and for this reason... water and electric lights who have acquired a bad habit of "standing off" the collector. Some of these fellows, it might be added in passing, fought him the hardest at Monday's election. Steadman has not only been lenient with them, but he has been known to pay the city taxes for poor people rather than have their property sold at delinquent sale. We doubt if he ever received much of this money in return; and thanks for such work—such people never think of such a thing. We agree with this gentleman in one particular. Steadman should draw a tighter rein on these "pay-tomorrow" fellows. We know he dislikes to shut off their water or electric lights, and put them to the expense of paying the penalty for their restoration. But let him give them fair warning that all licenses must be paid promptly. A failure to pay ought to result in shutting off these commodities. This may seem harsh treatment, but we submit this municipality is not maintaining its electric light and water systems for the purpose of furnishing those commodities free to a crowd who have acquired the "stand-off" habit until it has proved wearisome. The utter sham—the fraud—the pretense of the so-called Associated Press news service was never more aptly illustrated than on Saturday last, when its correspondent here sent out a "glowing account" of a certain "lovely time" occurring the morning before between the editor of this paper and one E. P. Fowler, a man 68 years of age, who has lately had the grip. The correspondent being an employee of Fowler's newspaper, it naturally follows, according to his code of ethics, that the more misrepresentation, the more lying indulged in by him concerning the proprietor of this paper, the better. Street encounters are disgraceful, of course; they are to be avoided if possible, but when a man, even though he be along in years, and his hair be whiter than snow; who has had, besides, the grip, attempts to strike another with a whip, his chastement follows as a matter of course. We prefer to say nothing of the affair, which, however, was not as disgraceful as it is to be lied about; we prefer not to follow Fowler's example, as he rushed off to his employee, giving orders that a highly colored account be sent out, glorifying his every deed—in a word, to give the impression that he had accomplished what he most certainly did not do. Thus, the correspondent being an employee of this old gentleman who has "lately had the grip," and his standing orders being to misrepre We prefer to say nothing of the affair, which, however, was not as disgraceful as it is to be lied about; we prefer not to follow Fowler's example, as he rushed off to his employee, giving orders that a highly colored account be sent out, glorifying his every deed—in a word, to give the impression that he had accomplished what he most certainly did not do. Thus, the correspondent being an employee of this old gentleman who has "lately had the grip," and his standing orders being to misrepresent and lie about this journal, do you think, now, Col. Spreckels of the Call, Col. Hearst of the Examiner, Col. Otis of the Times, and all you other fellows, that you have given us an altogether square deal on this bit of advertising? Honest Injun, now, do you think you have given us a square deal? But for such as it is, many thanks! More money per capita, more gold, more silver and a larger total of money in circulation than ever before is the summarization of the "circulation statement" issued by the Treasury Department for April 1, 1900. The following table shows the total money and the total gold in circulation on April 1st of each year from 1890 to 1900: | Year | Total Money | Gold and Gold Certificates | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1890 | $1,437,494,052 | $508,662,567 | | 1891 | 1,530,070,464 | 552,785,919 | | 1892 | 1,608,641,529 | 561,943,647 | | 1893 | 1,602,521,806 | 519,285,970 | | 1894 | 1,690,714,868 | 566,408,865 | | 1895 | 1,584,184,424 | 528,337,988 | | 1896 | 1,528,629,463 | 480,154,563 | | 1897 | 1,609,000,694 | 554,582,666 | | 1898 | 1,756,058,615 | 618,448,941 | | 1899 | 1,927,846,942 | 727,748,791 | | 1900 | 2,021,274,506 | 785,845,549 | For the first time in the history of the country the per capita circulation has crossed the $26 line, and the year 1900 carried the total for the first time past the $2,000,000,000 line while the amount of gold and gold certificates in circulation as shown by the table is larger than at the corresponding date of any previous year. The per capita money in circulation expense of the fumigating will be willingly borne by the owners of the trees, who are most anxious to rid their places of scale. The cost of operating these tents will be borne entirely by the growers, but the outfit should be the property of the county. This is the Riverside rule, and it is a good one to follow in Orange county. The Riverside Press is altogether too good a newspaper to resort to the practice of reprinting dispatches from the Los Angeles Times, that have been conjured up by its "local correspondents," and presenting them to its readers with a stamp of truthfulness that the same items in the Times do not possess. Thus when it prints in its issue of Tuesday afternoon the selfsame reference to our city election contained in the Times of that morning, and says repeating the words of the Times that "the people were somewhat wild after the votes were counted," it echoes a very clumsy falsehood. We thought better of the Press. If Editor Clarke must reprint news from the Times, let him credit it properly, and then everybody will know it to be a lie. But to give the stamp of truth to it which the Press ordinarily possesses—that is practicing deception twice. Public School Report.

Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for March in Southern California. Quarterly reviews show that thus far the year's volume of business has been larger than a year ago. Various centers report business good, but best returns come from Southern States. Generally speaking, favorable features of trade situation reported for last few months continue. Price situation is encouraging. Cereals show a slight upward swing. Foreign merchandise exports for March were unusually large. Railroad earnings show good advances. Money is easy and speculative market much more active. In our immediate district the month brought little change in outlook. The die is evidently cast for another dry year. The precipitation for the season has not differed materially from preceding two years. Grain crops will be short all through Southern California. In the most favored localities the estimate for hay crop is one-quarter to one-half a crop. Deciduous fruit trees are well set. The weather has been forcing, and apricots especially are well advanced. Unless caught by late frosts, which is unlikely, the crop should be good. The bean market is firm. It is seven months to a new crop. Meantime consumption and seed demands must be met, and sellers feel justified in pushing prices up. Beet planting is progressing. The situation to date is not discouraging. The last of the celery crop has gone forward. Crop did not reach 1000 carloads as anticipated. Growers are already beginning to prepare for next next season's planting. Estimates place probable acreage at 2000. Oranges are still being shipped, the run now mostly in seedlings. About 11,000 carloads of citrus fruits have already moved. Probably 3000 carloads still remain unshipped. Oranges are still being shipped, the run now mostly in seedlings.

General Summary.—Cooler weather has prevailed during the week, with considerable cloudiness, the temperature averaging a few degrees below the normal. At the close of this report no advices of injurious frosts have been received, although light to heavy frosts occurred toward the end of the week. Showers have occurred in nearly all parts of the State, and have greatly benefited crops. In some sections the rainfall was heavy, and was accompanied by thunder, lightning and hail. Some damage was done to fruit in the San Joaquin valley by the remarkably heavy hallstorm of April 2d. The central and northern portions of the State have sufficient rain for the present, but the southern counties are suffering from drought, the recent rain having last season's but no better, and are dropping badly in some places. Citrus fruits continue thrifty. Eureka Summary.—Low temperature and high northerly wind drying the ground and retarding fruit setting. It is too soon to tell what effect late frosts had on fruit bloom. Los Angeles Summary.—Cool, cloudy week with showers, closing with high winds. Rain helped grain and hay in places, but was generally too late to save crops. High winds did much harm. Apricots are dropping badly. A. G. MCADIE. Section Director. Off for Pittsburg. Capt.

Cooler weather has prevailed during the week, and light rain has fallen in most sections. In some portions of the foothill country the rainfall was over half an inch, and there was a considerable fall of hail in Orange county, but no damage resulted. In the vicinity of San Diego frequent showers are said to have materially improved crop conditions. Reports from the Los Angeles district are less encouraging. Very little except feed and hay can be expected from the grain fields, and not even that in some places, unless heavy rains come soon. It is predicted that there will not be a thrasher in operation this season. Walnut trees are coming into leaf. Apricots are said to be about equal to normal.

A delivery wagon of one of the big bread baking factories stopped in front of an up town livery and boarding stable, and two men at once unloaded barrels of bread and carried them into the stable. The bread looked good and was good. There were all sorts and sizes of loaves in the barrels—"homemade," "rye," "Vienna," "potato," "graham" and "cottage." The curiosity of a man who saw the bread being delivered to the stable was aroused, and he ventured to ask the proprietor of the stable what it meant. "There's nothing remarkable about it," said the proprietor with a laugh. "I simply buy it for horse feed. We grind the bread up and mix it with other feed, and it makes first class food for horses. It is stale bread and costs us 40 cents a barrel, and there are 50 or 60 loaves to the barrel, so you see it comes pretty cheap. Some of the bread is only a day old and is good enough for any man to eat, but the bread factories cannot sell it. What you see here are returned loaves from the groceries."—New York Journal.

While Mrs. Zeus and family were at church on Sunday evening a burglar entered her residence on Broadway and succeeded in making away with several articles of jewelry. It is supposed the thief was frightened away, and that as Mrs. Zeus was returning about half past 8 o'clock he made his escape through a side window, where his footprints were observable the next day. There is no clue as to his identity, and not much was stolen.
