A great deal of talk has been going on down about San Diego about sending U. S. Grant (1) as a delegate at large to the Republican national convention, and (2) of putting him forward as a candidate for Vice President; but it seems that at last light has dawned upon the intelligence of some of the Republicans down that way, with the result that Mr. Grant has been "mildly endorsed" for delegate at large and not mentioned as McKinley's running mate. The boys had a convention in San Diego the other day, and some of the Grant boomers trotted out the following gorgeous endorsement of their man for everything in sight: "We believe and declare that the commercial and political importance of the Pacific coast entitles it to the second place upon the national Republican ticket in the approaching presidential campaign. And we further believe and declare that the great State of California is of right entitled to the distinction of having one of her citizens selected for the position of vice presidential candidate; and in our distinguished fellow citizen and townsman, U. S. Grant, we have a man who combines every attribute for the high position of Vice President of the United States; and we hereby present him to the Republican party of the State of California and of the nation as a candidate for nomination for that position, and request our delegates to the Republican State convention at Sacramento to use every legitimate means in their power to secure the selection of Mr. Grant as one of the delegates at large from the State of California to the national Republican convention, and a full delegation from this State favorable to his nomination as the candidate of the national Republican party for the office of Vice President of the United States." Now that was an endorsement as was an endorsement—a regular San Diego endorsement—of its favored subjected to brutal or inhuman treatment. General Merriam denied emphatically that any conferences had taken place between himself and the mine owners or mine operators. He also denied the statement of witness Cornell, who testified before the committee, that on two occasions he complained to General Merriam as to the treatment of the prisoners. He said that Mr. Cornell did not have an interview with him at any time upon any subject; nor did Mr. Cornell present any complaints for himself or the miners. The witness added that he was particularly solicitous for the health and comfort of the imprisoned miners, and if any complaint of brutal or inhuman treatment, insufficiency of food, poor sanitary conditions, or lack of attention toward the sick was made, he certainly would have known of them. Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the section of foreign markets in the Department of Agriculture, says that the American farmer as well as the American manufacturer is reaping the benefits of expansion. He adds: "We are searching the world over to find new markets in order that the American farmer may have a readier and more profitable sale for his products. Our control of the markets of Cuba and Porto Rico will mean money in the pockets of our farmers. Under normal conditions these two islands purchase annually $50,000,000 worth of agricultural produce, chiefly breadstuffs and provisions, and practically all of this trade should come from the United States." The American cow has been feeling the effect of the good times, and has come in for a share of the prosperity that now exists in every corner of the country. Note the following figures of the total value of all cows in the United States, and the average value of each, as shown by the Department of Agriculture: | Jan. 1 | Total Value | Per Head | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1894 | $638,906,461 | $21.77 | | 1895 | 362,601,729 | 21.97 | | 1896 | 363,955,545 | 22.55 | | 1897 | 369,290,983 | 23.16 | | 1898 | 431,813,826 | 27.45 | REAL ESTATE TRANSFER For the Week Ending May 7, 1900 Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana.

Now that was an endorsement as was an endorsement—a regular San Diego endorsement of its favored son. But it developed much opposition, and it was subsequently withdrawn, and the following substituted: "Resolved, That the delegates elected by this convention to the Republican convention held at Sacramento in May are hereby instructed to vote for, and use all honorable means to elect, U. S. Grant, Jr., as a candidate at large to the national Republican convention at Philadelphia, in June, 1900, so long as his name is before the convention." Even this comparatively mild endorsement did not sit well upon the stomachs of the San Diegans, and it was withdrawn, the following being substituted: "Resolved, That the Republican party of San Diego county in convention assembled hereby endorses U. S. Grant, Jr., as a candidate at large to the Republican national convention at Philadelphia." We question if it be policy to send Mr. Grant to the national convention as a delegate at large from California. No man who was smirched as he was at Sacramento in the senatorial squabble (when it was shown that he had expended some $75,000 to get the office) is a fit man to represent California at Philadelphia. Four years ago Mr. Grant was sent to St. Louis, and then did not think enough of the party to return to the State to vote for McKinley. Let the State convention give Grant a rest. Our politics have been afflicted with too much Grant. GEN. HARRISON G. OTIS, editor of Los Angeles Times, was arrested some days ago, on complaint of a reporter whose liver he tried to carve out with a machete. The reporter is an attache of a hated opposition newspaper, and had had some difficulty with an attache of the General's newspaper at a restaurant some time previously. He later called at the Times office to settle the matter, when the redoubtable General who crossed the Rubicon, seizing his trusty machete, dealt his adversary a blow which is said to have slit his vest in the region nor west by west of the solar-plexus. After the assault the General is said to have picked his teeth with the machete.

Note the following figures of the total value of all cows in the United States, and the average value of each, as shown by the Department of Agriculture: Jan. 1.

Less milk was bought when our factories were closed. But busy factories mean money to spend and more milk for the family; so the farmers' cows are worth more under the protection of the Dingley tariff, which gives the home market to the home worker. A difference of $10 in the value of each cow, between free trade and protection times, is an "object lesson" for the farmer. PORTO RICANS are not going to endure such very great hardships after all. There is a big free list upon which they can draw for food, including flour, bacon, codfish, fresh beef, pork, mutton and rice. Not a cent of duty will they pay upon any of these products imported from the United States. Then there is no duty to check their agricultural progress, because sugar-making and refining machinery, plows, hoes, hatchets, machetes, cooper's ware for casks and barrels, are admitted there free even of the 6 per cent duty, Rough lumber, school furniture, trees, plants, crude petroleum, mineral, carbonated and seltzer waters, root beer, ginger ale; copper, cotton, libraries, nuts, oils, drugs, seeds, spices, tea, tapioca, turpentine, wax and a host of other articles are also admitted without the payment of a cent's worth of duty. Some of these were free under the Dingley tariff others under special orders issued by the Secretary of War, and they are all free under the new act. The free trade New York tariff reform club is now saying that the passage of the shipping bill will cheapen the fare of immigrants, and increase the number coming to the United States in order to stir up the opposition of the labor interests. But, as a matter of fact, the passage of that bill will decrease the foreign ships coming to this country, and thus reduce the number of immigrants, at the same time giving increased employment to our own citizens in all parts of the country.

After the assault the General is said to have picked his teeth with the machete. When the reporter recovered from the suddenness of the unprovoked assault, he seized the General by the scuff of the neck, intent upon administering a thrashing, but the latter released himself and succeeded in beating a hasty retreat into his inner office, where he barricaded himself inside. The policy of this paper is to tell the truth about everything, especially concerning scraps of this character, which the best of us sometimes find ourselves engaged in, hey, General! The Times is known to have stood up many candidates for office in the past, and is one of the papers recently excoriated by Governor Gage, at his speech at the Republican love feast in Los Angeles some weeks ago. End of the story of the General and the reporter. The General's trial has not yet come to pass. The charges contained in the preamble of the resolution offered by Representative Lentz, alleging misconduct and abuse of authority on the part of the federal troops under General Merriam, who were enforcing martial law in the Coer d'Alene district, were completely refuted by the testimony of General Merriam, Capt. John B. Bennett, one of his sides, and by the official report of Capt. B. W. Leavell, before the Military Affairs Committee. These witnesses showed completely and circumstantially that they acted within the bounds of their authority in preserving order, and that not in a single instance were the prisoners The free trade New York tariff reform club is now saying that the passage of the shipping bill will cheapen the fare of immigrants, and increase the number coming to the United States in order to stir up the opposition of the labor interests.

Pacific States have every reason to be satisfied with their improved conditions under the Republican administration of President McKinley, judging by the following exhibit of their bank deposits: | Banks | July 13, 1894 | June 30, 1894 | | :--- | :---: | :---: | | National | $24,603,518 | $82,035,965 | | State and private | 29,400,484 | 49,872,814 | | Loan and trust | 1,801,629 | 7,493,505 | | Savings | 104,645,639 | 128,999,910 | Total $161,451,170 $235,402,194 An increase of $74,000,000 in the amount of the Pacific State deposits, within five years, is a remarkable showing. The figures are from the reports of the Comptroller of the currency and include Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah and Nevada, with their population of 2,830,000 people. The deposits last year averaged nearly $100 per capita. Public School Report. Prof. Little, Principal of the city schools, hands us the following report for the month ending May 4, 1900: Av.

Each getting 37½ per cent? We do not know. Only the parties interested know. This point is clear,however,and that is that the Porto Ricans are not benefited, Simply the sugar combinations of this country and the foreign planters or manufacturers of Porto Rico. "Porto Rico has been able, at her maximum, to export about 60,000 tons of sugar.She would be able, if all her resources were brought into play,tow send us about 3 per cent of our consumption. But when the Philippines and Cuba ask for the same privilege,then it will be an entirely different question. And yet the same principles are involved that I have discussed in Porto Rico.Isn't it enough that we have expended so much blood and treasure in wrestling these islands from the condition they were in, at the same time offering every help in the future that is consistent with fair and honest dealing with our own interests and people? "I am a thorough believer in expansion.I believe that expansion is fraught with incalculable benefit both to the inhabitants of the island and to the people of this country,the Congress shall have framed such fair,honest,just and equitable regulations as are consistent with the right of our own labor and industries."

General summary.-The temperature has been nearly normal during the week,and no damaging frosts have occured. Conditions have been unusually favorable for all growing crops,and prospects are greatly improved in all parts of the State Heavy rains have fallen in Southern California,and in nearly all other sections.The rain has slightly damaged cherries strawberries and hay,and caused wheat to lodge in some localities;but the loss by the storm will be more than offset by the improved condition of the soil. In nearly all sections north of the Tehachapi grain is in excellent condition,and prospects for large crops were never better.In some of the southern coast counties where grain had been regarded as nearly a failure,它 is now said fair crops of wheat and barley will be harvested.Haying is in progress in many parts of the State;the hay is generally of good quality,and the yield about average.The soil is now in Our friend the Baron O: Rudolph von Steinmetz.of the army,sir,i is in trouble again,based on him pinched him the other day for stolen goods in his possession.Francisco police some days received the following word o:Amsterdam inspector of poaching the Baron: "We have arrested Charles nold,a alias Baron von Turkien grandarceny.He had so sour property in his possession,and holding him pending an investigation.From statements made by him he can be believed,his parcel Charles and Eliza Van Winkle claims he served in the Roxton Sixth infantry at Strasburg,c cerely doubt it.From what tion we have he was employed,vate detective in various parts United States with little or no In the latter part of 1899 Vet as he was known,passed through castle,England.on the wayWe had information that he on some gigantic bunco school plans must have failed.as he time in getting out of Parliament granted several Eastern periodical.

Very little grain will be harvested in Southern California, and the hay crop will be light. The sugar beet industry was benefited by the rains. Deciduous fruits are making favorable progress, but some varieties are being seriously thinned out by dropping. There will be considerable loss to orchardists in some localities as a result of the severe frost in April, and it is reported that the loss will be total in a few orchards in the Santa Clara valley. The yield in Southern California will also be considerably less than average. Citrus fruits are in good condition. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack sociable or inflammatory rheumatism all agree that the infliction is demon enough to warrant the belief. It is never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it words is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by P. A. Derge. PORTO RICAN AFFAIRS. How the Country Has Been Vastly Benefited by American Rule. C. F. Saylor of the Department of Agriculture has recently been on an official trip to Porto Rico. He shows clearly that those who would benefit by absolute free trade are the Spanish, English and other European owners of the plantations, and not the native islanders. He says: "Let us look into the factories themselves, and I do not fear challenge in this respect, because I have been in every factory in Porto Rico. Whatever capital is invested in those factories emanating at all from island sources is purely Spanish. It does not belong to Porto Rico. The peculiar system maintained by Spain through all of the business concerns, and so far as their own capital was employed, throw everything into the hands of the Spaniards, who were simply in Porto Rico doing business. They do not belong to that element of Porto Ricans that we feel so tender about, and would not become citizens of Porto Rico or this country, whatever becomes of the constitutional question. Other factories are owned and controlled by English capital; some by German, and the entire factory system by Spanish, English and German." These factories, mainly through their cheap labor, can under absolute free trade put sugar on the market at New York, at cost to themselves, for 2 cents a pound. This would be $40 for a short ton of sugar. Sugar has been selling this year for $70 per ton. With free trade this would be a profit of $30 on an outlay of $40, which I figure is 75 per cent. Who gets this profit? There is only one way for handling imported sugar in this country, and that is through the two or three sugar combinations, mainly through the sugar trust. They agree with the planters or manufacturers to take this sugar, refine it and place it on the market, dividing the profit on a certain basis, as is now SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Cloudy weather prevailed the first part of the week, and was followed by heavy rains on Thursday and Friday, extending to all sections, and varying from 1 to 2 inches. This rain assures a bountiful water supply for irrigation during the summer, and has been of immense benefit to orchards, vineyards and all crops, as well as feed on ranges. Late-sown wheat and barley were also benefited, and in some places will yield a small crop. Bean and corn lands were greatly improved. Hay was slightly damaged, but the yield will undoubtedly be increased by the rain. Lemon and orange groves are in excellent condition. Deciduous fruits are doing well in some sections, but a light crop is expected, especially of apricots. Eureka summary.-Prunes and cherries are sufficiently advanced to show no material injury from frosts. Crops were much benefited by the rain and warm weather the latter part of the week. Fruit will be plentiful. Los Angeles summary.-General rain on Friday and Saturday, heavy in places, was of great benefit to beans, beans and fruit trees; will result in some feed and pasture and help late-sown grain. The damage done to hay was more than offset by resulting good. A. G. MCADIE, Section Director. An Epidemic of Whooping Cough.

OUR FRIEND THE BARON. Inched in Amsterdam for Having Stolen Goods in His Possession. Our old friend the Baron Carl Otto Ludolph von Steinmetz, of the German Army, sir, is in trouble again, this time at Amsterdam, where the police inched him the other day for having stolen goods in his possession. The San Francisco police some days ago received the following word from the Amsterdam inspector of police concerning the Baron: "We have arrested Charles von Arnold, alias Baron von Turkheim, for grand larceny. He had some stolen property in his possession, and we are holding him pending an investigation. From statements made by him, and if he can be believed, his parents were Charles and Eliza Van Winkle. He claims he served in the Royal Saxon Sixth infantry at Strasburg, but I sincerely doubt it. From what information we have he was employed as a private detective in various parts of the United States with little or no success. In the latter part of 1899 Von Arnold, as he was known, passed through Newcastle, England, on the way to Paris. We had information that he was bent on some gigantic bunco scheme. His plans must have failed, as he lost no time in getting out of Paris and migrating to Amsterdam. He represented himself as a journalist, and claimed that he was the representative of several Eastern periodicals. "We learned by investigation that his only claim to being a 'journalist' was that he was engaged in selling old newspapers that had been sent from the United States. Convinced that he was an imposter, we watched him. To our surprise he visited police headquarters and claimed that he had been robbed of considerable jewelry while in the hotel in which he was stopping. We found out the story was untrue and finally decided to arrest him. In his room we found a lot of stolen property. "There were also documents showing he had sent a communication to the Consul General of the South African republic in Paris demanding money. While there he represented himself as a friend of the republic, and had been specially employed to arrange a suitable exhibit. Von Arnold passed as the confidential agent of Dr. Leyds of South Africa. He claimed that he was engaged by Leyds to purchase provisions and munitions of war for the people of the Transvaal." From letters found on him we are satisfied that he intended to perpetrate a gigantic swindle on some people at Monte Carlo. Among his victims was a man named Barnes. The latter was stopping at Monte Carlo, and Von Arnold decided to pluck him. He sent his ing he had sent a communication to the Consul General of the South African republic in Paris demanding money. While there he represented himself as a friend of the republic, and had been specially employed to arrange a suitable exhibit. Von Arnold passed as the confidential agent of Dr. Leyds of South Africa. He claimed that he was engaged by Leyds to purchase provisions and munitions of war for the people of the Transvaal. "From letters found on him we are satisfied that he intended to perpetrate a gigantic swindle on some people at Monte Carlo. Among his victims was a man named Barnes. The latter was stopping at Monte Carlo, and Von Arnold decided to pluck him. He sent his intended victim a telegram arranging for a meeting, and he replied that he would see him at any time." A complete record of Von Arnold has been sent by the San Francisco police to the Amsterdam authorities. Von Arnold will be remembered by many Anaheimers, he having flourished hereabout some four years ago. His escapades here and at Pasadena are still fresh in the public mind. We believe the Gazette was the first paper in the State to expose the bogus nobleman. He went to Los Angeles, where the police were made acquainted with his doings here and at Pasadena, and he was arrested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and put to scrubbing the jail. His numerous victims, whom he swindled out of considerable amounts, refused to prosecute him. Some of them persisted in believing he was the real thing, while others shrank from the notoriety of a case in court. After his liberation he went to San Francisco. While acting in the capacity of a private detective, he went through a marriage ceremony in Oakland with Jeannie Young, who was making life miserable for Attorney D. M. Delmas, whom she claimed as the father of her child. The pair went East immediately. Von Turkheim and his newly acquired feminine incumbrance went to Montreal, and from there to London, where the woman was deserted by her "lord." Von Turkheim was subsequently arrested for obtaining £146 from a hairdresser, by fraudulent representation himself to be the heir to a large estate in Germany. He was sentenced to serve one year in prison. The fact came out during his trial that four women claimed him as husband. The woman who was his true wife sued Von Turkheim in the meantime in San Francisco for a divorce on the ground of desertion and obtained it, together with permission to resume her malden name, Emma Paul. I consider it not only a pleasure but a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about the wonderful cure effected in my case by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. I was taken very badly with flux and procured a bottle of this remedy. A few dozes of it effected a permanent cure.

The Member of a Woman's Club Confounded the Two Popes. "For the last year or so my wife has been ambitious to shine as a literary light," said Smith, with a chuckle. "I don't know how many clubs she joined, but if there were any that she did not belong to it was because she had never heard of them. "The other night while I was reading my paper she interrupted me with a request for light about something that I did not catch except the word pope. "'Well,' said I, looking over my paper. "I want to know about him,' she continued. 'I must read a paper concerning him at our next literary meeting, and I do not know a single thing about him. Who is he?" "Do you mean to say,' said I, that you know nothing about the head of the Roman church? "Oh, of course! she answered. 'How stupid of me! I can read all about him in the encyclopedia.'" "I resumed my reading and thought that ended it, but it didn't. The other night when I returned home I found my wife in tears, and before I had time to inquire what the matter was I was called to account in 17 different kinds of keys. "Well, when the storm was over I learned the truth. It was the poet Pope and not the pope of Rome that she was expected to treat upon, and when she rose and read a paper on the pope it started a row that did not end with adjournment. "But, seeing that she has resigned from all the clubs and that the children once more have a chance to get acquainted with their mother, I do not look upon it as a calamity."—Detroit Free Press.
