The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... JUNE 28, 1900. FREE MAIL DELIVERY. Petitions are now in circulation asking for signatures to the projected formation of a rural free mail delivery in this neighborhood. To subscribers mail will be delivered once a day, the service beginning immediately upon the arrival of the mail at the postoffice in this city. The route is destined to take in as much as possible of the territory west, southwest and south of the city. The cost to each subscriber is $3.50, which goes for the purchase of mail boxes. These will be erected along the line of the free delivery route. At least one hundred subscribers must sign before the inauguration of the district. Already quite a number have signed. The district should embrace West Anaheim and the Brookshurst section, Magnolia, Clair, the thick settlement along the Garden Grove road south from West Anaheim, and as many other localities as may desire to be served. Postal Inspector Jeffrey was at Fullerton on Monday, and was driven over the free delivery route now in course of formation at that point. This district embraces the La Habra valley and the oil wells territory in Soquel Canyon. This route has been already approved by Congressman Needham, and on receipt of Mr. Jeffrey's official report to headquarters, approving Mr. Needham's recommendation, the district will in all probability be formed, and the free delivery of mail begin. The enterprising citizens of Fullerton are now at work upon a second free-delivery district, to embrace the country west to Orangethorpe, as well as Brookshurst and the neighboring section. The south bound newspapers of the West now hold the key to the position. The situation in Congress is such that if a united demand is made by the West for irrigation appropriations it cannot be refused. There is no question of this fact. The trouble has been in the past that the West has not been thoroughly united upon this proposition. The West holds the power in Congress if it will stand unitedly and exercise it. And if Western newspapers—the city papers, the country papers, the dailies and the weeklies—will print arguments and demands that Congress shall consider this great question of irrigation as a national question; will keep continually driving at the idea that the question is the one most vital thing to the entire West, the one question, which if acknowledged by Congress will change millions of acres of waste and barren places into smiling fertility and wealth—then it will not take Western Senators and Congressmen long to see that this is a question upon which they must unite to a man, and with a united Western delegation the battle is won. This is the power which the Western press possesses. PLEDGES REDEEMED. Thirty years of President McKinley's administration show the pledges of the platform fully redeemed: The revision of the tariff on protective lines; placing the finances of the country on a sound basis; caring for the veterans and widows of the civil war; relieving the Cubans from Spanish rule; restoring the homestead policy; making Hawaii a territory of the United States; securing a West India naval station. In addition the following legislation has been accomplished: The war measures of 1898; providing Alaska with a civic code and judiciary system; arranging for the government of Porto Rico. Appropriations made by the first session of the Fifty-sixth Congress amounted to $709,729,476.89. This includes $131,247,155.32 in connection with newspapers of the West now hold the key to the position.

This route has been already approved by Congressman Needham, and on receipt of Mr. Jeffrey's official report to headquarters, approving Mr. Needham's recommendation, the district will in all probability be formed, and the free delivery of mail begin. The enterprising citizens of Fullerton are now at work upon a second free-delivery district, to embrace the country west to Orangethorpe, as well as Brookshurst and the neighboring section. The south boundary will come as near this city as they can bring it. It thus behooves the residents of this city to bestir themselves in order to secure a free delivery route. There is no more inviting field in the State than the route between this city and the country west, southwest and south. But there seems to be a lack of interest in the matter, passing strange as it may seem. While in conversation with a business man in town some days ago he regarded the matter with indifference, net to say antagonism, for, he said, if the farmers have their mail delivered to them they would not come into town to trade! It is just such picayunish, penny-wise-pound-foolish ideas that have kept this city back. For the sake of the progressive people of the community, let us hear no more of such nonsense. Congressman Needham has recommended that three free-delivery routes be established in Orange county. Tustin is actively at work upon one, in conjunction with Santa Ana. Fullerton already has one, practically, and is now actively at work upon another; yet when this Anaheim business man is asked to lend a helping hand to procuring one for this neighborhood, he says, in effect, that it will hurt his business by keeping farmers out of town! Fudge! That argument makes one weary. Now is the time for us to act, or we shall have mail delivered at our very doors from the Fullerton route. And we should throw up our hat in glee if such were, on account of the apathy of our citizens, finally brought about. We have too many false alarms in Anaheim — men whose petty souls are lodged in the depths of their pockets. Let them be pitchforked out into the light of day; but meantime let all good citizens put their shoulders to the wheel and see to it that this free rural delivery district be established at the earliest possible moment. At Santa Ana and Fullerton funds have been pledged for the payment of at least a part of the mail boxes. This is what is done in similar districts in the East, and is what the people of this city should do. The veterans and widows of the civil war; relieving the Cubans from Spanish policy; restoring the homestead policy; making Hawaii a territory of the United States; securing a West India naval station. In addition the following legislation has been accomplished: The war measures of 1898; providing Alaska with a civic code and judiciary system; arranging for the government of Porto Rico. Appropriations made by the first session of the Fifty-sixth Congress amounted to $709,729,476.89. This includes $131,247,155.32 in connection with the late war with Spain. Ducting it the remaining $573,482,-321.57 represents the ordinary appropriations made for the support of the government. The chief increases are as follows: For the Department of Agriculture $840,598 For increase of the navy 7,081,916 For payment of pensions 3,981,350 For the postal service 17,782,900 By the sundry civil act—Expenses of the 12th census 9,000,000 Expenses of lighthouse establishment 435,400 Prevention of epidemic diseases 500,000 For armaments and arsenals 445,308 For military posts 580,000 For Volunteer soldiers' homes 648,354 For public printing and binding 980,000 For new government printing office building 775,000 By permanent appropriations (including $2,000,000 for requirements of sinking fund, and $4,000,000 for redemption of national bank notes) 86,634,000 Total $502,282,826 These increases in federal appropriations need no defense, and but a word of explanation. The amount for the Department of Agriculture is only a proper compliance with the natural demands of the agricultural interests of the country. For pensions the amount simply represents the natural increase of the pension roll. For the increase of the navy the excess over the appropriations of 1898 is necessary for the construction, armor, armament, and equipment of battleships, cruisers, gunboats and torpedo boats heretofore authorized, and is no more than is absolutely necessary toward placing the navy expeditiously in the proper condition, universally demanded by the people, for the national defense. The largest single item of increase is that for the postal service—$17,-782,900. It represents the progress and development of the times. Its very largeness is a source of congratulation. The twelfth census is provided for as required by the constitution, and is an expense incurred but once in ten years. The lighthouse establishment constitutes the chief governmental aid for the maritime interests of the country, and the increase in the amount for its support is to meet the legitimate requirements of the service. For the prevention of epidemic diseases an increase of $500,000 is the veterans and widows of the civil war; relieving the Cubans from Spanish policy; restoring the homestead policy; making Hawaii a territory of the United States; securing a West India naval station. In addition the following legislation has been accomplished: The war measures of 1898; providing Alaska with a civic code and judiciary system; arranging for the government of Porto Rico.

Let them be pitch-forked out into the light of day; but meantime let all good citizens put their shoulders to the wheel and see to it that this free rural delivery district be established at the earliest possible moment. At Santa Ana and Fullerton funds have been pledged for the payment of at least a part of the mail boxes. This is what is done in similar districts in the East, and is what the people of this city should do. The farming classes have not become wealthy during these past three years of drouth, and a little contribution to assist them in the purchase of boxes would be an act of public-spirited liberality which they would not soon forget. Get together and push the free-delivery district! POWER OF THE PRESS. It lies largely with the Western press to say what shall be done by Congress for the West. Western papers are, of course, for anything that is a benefit in the West, but so long as they advocate Western measures in a desultory and disorganized manner, they cannot accomplish the results than can be attained by a combined and sustained effort. Some time ago Western papers commenced vigorously agitating the water question. Everybody has always known of course that the West is dependent upon water, but in showing what might be done with more water, and in continually urging the vital importance of the question to the country, and the necessity for Congress taking some action on a broad national basis for irrigation development, such interest has been aroused that the whole question has now been forced to the front, and is now recognized as one which must be reckoned upon at each session of Congress and which cannot be suppressed. This is primarily the result of newspaper agitation, and the The twelfth census is provided for as required by the constitution, and is an expense incurred but once in ten years. The lighthouse establishment constitutes the chief governmental aid for the maritime interests of the country, and the increase in the amount for its support is to meet the legitimate requirements of the service. For the prevention of epidemic diseases an increase of $500,000 is given, in order to protect the country against the introduction of yellow fever, cholera, the bubonic plague, and other similar diseases. The amount for armories and arsenals is in order to increase the facilities of the Springfield Arsenal, and to fully equip the Rock Island Arsenal for the production of small arms for the army. For military posts the increase is wholly on account of providing proper quarters for the artillery troops in charge of our new seacoast fortifications. The number of those entitled to and requiring the shelter and support of the national home for disabled volunteer soldiers, and of State homes, annually increases, and the proper amount is given to this beneficent branch of the public service. For printing and binding there appears to be an increase of $980,000. In fact, the actual increase over the appropriations for 1898 is only $68,000; for the appropriations made for 1899 a deficiency of $300,000 was provided for this service on account of the fiscal year 1898. Much of the actual increase is attributable to the increased volume of business in the treasury, war and navy departments, incident to the war with Spain. In 1894, during Democratic administration, the cotton mills of the United States consumed only 16 per cent of the entire average cotton crop. Last year they used over 27 per cent, and this year they will use about one-third of the whole crop; more than twice as much as in 1894. Workers in the cotton mills should not forget that Republican administration means double the quantity of work and higher wages besides. Millinery at Cost.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Director Merriam of the Census Bureau requests a contradiction of the report which has been circulated in some portions of the country to the effect that the census enumerators are not to be paid promptly. "They will be paid," he said today, "as soon as their reports, properly certified to by the supervisors, are received. We require of necessity the certificate by supervisors, but when this is forthcoming we have the money with which to promptly pay all these claims." Of the 52,000 enumerators only about 1000 to 1200 have sent in their portfolios. The entire pay roll for enumerators amounts to $3,900,000.

"I was just stepping off the street car," remarked the old printer, who was telling a story, "when I met a two nicker face to face" "You met a what?" "A two nicker. And, as I was saying, she" "But what in the world is a two nicker?" "Oh, you know what that is, don't you?" "No, I don't. Never met one in my life." "Well, a two nicker is a lady, a woman, anything that wears petticoats." "I never heard the expression before. Where does it come from?" "Now you're too hard for me. I don't know where it started, but in the good old times of case type and hand presses it was the common expression used to designate a woman in a print shop. It wasn't used outside of the composing rooms. I'll tell you how I think it arose. All the old hand type, as everybody knows, is provided with nicks on the side, so that the typeseters don't have to look at the face of the type to know how to throw it in the 'stick.' Far back in prehistoric days the type had only one nick, but later two nicks became the style, and 30 years ago two nicks was the usual thing. But there came improvements in typemaking, and it was discovered that three or four nicks on the side of the type made it easier for the printer to handle, and so the three or four nicked type came into style and the two nicked type went into disuse and bad repute. Printers despised the two nicked type. About that time women got a foothold in the printing offices. They were not regarded with favor by the old time printers. The women and the two nicked type were in about the same category in the esteem of the old typo, and it was very natural that he should come to express both by the same words. They both became 'two nickers,' and the expression has become traditional in printshops."—Memphis Scimitar. GROWTH OF CARICATURE. John Law's Wild Schemes Gave It a Tremendous Impetus. Caricature is nowadays one of the principal methods of criticism. No movement can overreach the mark without eliciting dozens of works of art from caricaturists all over this and all other countries. This branch of criticism and attack dates far back, but the greatest impulse it ever felt came from the age of tremendous speculation, when, in 1719 and 1780, John Law was manipulating things financial in France. Never before had the financial world been so carried off its feet as it was at that time. Members of the nobility were waiting for a chance to purchase shares in Law's schemes.

Suppose you go up and fire him off." "All right, cap," says I, and starts front. When I gets to the first car, I looks down, and sure enough, there was a big, greasy hobo squattin on the edge, holdin on to the brake iron. "Hi, there!" says I, "what d'you mean by tryin to beat the road?" We're goin slow now, and you hop right off! The hobo reached around into his pocket and pulled out a gun about a yard long. When he pointed it at me, it looked like a piece of stovepipe. "You freckle nosed baboon," says he, "if you don't go 'bout your business real sudden, I'll cave your face in! Skipl!" says he. I skipped. "When I got back to the caboose, the conductor says, "Well, Bill, did you fire the hobo?" "No," says I, "I didn't. In chattin with him," I says, "I found out we was kin, and I didn't really have the heart to bounce the poor felter!" "Well, I'll do it myself, then!" says the conductor, gettin hot, and away he goes over the tops. Pretty soon I could hear him comin back lickety split, on a dead run. He slid down the brake iron like a streak of greased lightnin and dropped into the caboose seat all out of breath. "Did you fire him?" says I. "No," says he, sort of faint. "Why, how was that?" says I, pretendin to be surprised. "Well, I'll tell you," says he, confidential. "It's funny, but, d'yon know, when we got to talkin, I found out he was some kin to me too."—Chicago Inter Ocean. If All Candidates Wore White. The word "candidate" is from the Latin "candidatus." Literally it means white robed, and it was thus called because in Rome those who sought office wore a glittering white toga. Fancy, if you can, all our modern Americans dressed in accordance with their political ambitions. In some sections there would be no such thing as a dark suit of clothes. Washington would simply be one shining center of universal whiteness.—Saturday Evening Post. Is Dazles the World.

He Has a Mouth One-third the Size of His Body. Most remarkable of strange fishes is the angler fish, whose very name seems a paradox. The fishing fish is nevertheless a reality and a stern one to all that approach those awful jaws of his. With a body the color of mud he generally lies in the shadow of some rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting motionless for the approach of his prey. He is provided with an odd kind of fin just over the mouth, and this is held in front of him to give warning of the coming of something to be swallowed. One taken alive was experimented on, and it was found that if this projecting fin was touched with a stick, even though the stick did not come near the mouth, the jaws closed convulsively. This shows that the fin, by some provision of nature, closes the jaws as soon as it is touched. The mouth is tremendous, growing to the width of a foot when the whole fish is only three feet long. One of these anglers was caught not long since, and though it was only 25 inches long, a fish 15 inches long was found sticking in its throat. The angler is provided with peculiar teeth set in double or treble rows along the jaws and at the entrance of the throat. Some of these teeth are a foot long. He is not a pretty fish to look at, but he attends strictly to business and will swallow anything that touches his warning fin, whether it is meant for food or not. All kinds of things have been found in the stomachs of anglers, from bits of lead and stone to fish almost as large as the angler itself. This is without doubt one of the most peculiar and interesting fish in the whole ocean.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. All Alone.
