The voter should not lose sight of the fact that the so-called "paramount" issue to which Mr. Bryan clings with so much tenacity is not the same as the only issue. Suppose, for the sake of illustration, that all this talk of imperialism and militarism does make you just a bit nervous as to what may follow a continuance of the Republican policy of holding fast to the Philippines until we can make some honorable disposition of them, what are you going to do about the other things that Mr. Bryan's party is pledged to do and to undo? For instance, there is the tariff. Do you want that overturned and all the industries of the country put awry by a new dispensation, just as business has adapted itself to it? The country is now nicely sailing under a prudent monetary system and the industrial and commercial worlds are at ease in knowing what to expect. Do you want this feeling of certainty and security to be supplanted by a feeling of uncertainty and loss of confidence? The system of national banks, under strict governmental supervision, has recently been extended, affording needed banking facilities to small interior towns throughout the country. Do you want to vote to abolish that system and substitute for it an untried banking experiment? The "paramount" consideration of every voter should be the maintenance of the present wise and progressive domestic policy of the Republican party.Times are good and the voter should want to keep them good and make them better. This the vociferous Bryanites do not even promise to do, and yet this should be the "paramounttest" of all paramount considerations to every American worker or producer, dealer or investor. Our foreign policy, whatever may be tide,can hardly be a drop in the bucket compared to our home policy,the forces of Bryan have pledged themselves to revolutionize if they can get the opportunity.

BIRKEL, aug2 1050 FOURTH ST., SAN DIEGO, CA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1900. THE PITH OF POLITICS (By ARTHUR J. PILLSBURY.) The San Francisco Examiner has come to the rescue. In outer darkness it has made a great light to shine. If it has not been transferred into a statue of liberty enlightening the world, it has, for the nonce, become a firey serpent set up in the wilderness of the new Democracy. The Examiner has found out what imperialism is. In President McKinley's letter of acceptance the Examiner has discovered a concrete example of imperialism, has attracted to it the attention of a hitherto bewildered public, and now all men see and know what imperialism really is. More wind has been pumped into the inane of imperialism by Bryanite orators since the Fourth of July last than was required to destroy the city of Galveston, and yet it was not until the 11th day of September, when men had read the Examiner, that they knew what imperialism really was. That it must be something very bad they felt very certain, but just what they knew not. Now they know and, knowing, dare maintain. "For instance," says the Examiner in explaining what imperialism is, "the President says of his instructions to the Philippine commission: 'Until congress shall take action, I directed that upon every division and branch of government of the Philippines must be imposed the inviolable rules: 'That no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation; that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the rights of a speedy and public trial; to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense; that excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, in our constitutional bill of rights, has shown himself incapable of any act of despotism or infidelity to any moral or political obligation. Another might do as well, but we know what William McKinley will do, for we know him by his fruits." While we are about it let us look at one more aspect of this boggy of imperialism. The kernel of the Bryanistic objection to Republican policy is that the Republican party is attempting to hold distant islands which it does not intend shall ever be states in the American Union. Granted. The Republican party does not expect that the Philippine islands will ever be states in the American Union. The Bryanites also contend that on account of being far distant and filled with stranger peoples, alien to our institutions, the Philippine islands never ought to be states of the American Union. Granted also. Now, let us suppose that, because bound in honor so to do, the Philippine islands are held as territories to be fitted for statehood, that the bill of rights granted to them through William McKinley, through the imperial powers of the presidential office, and unasked, be confirmed to them by congress; that this great republic, patiently and with fidelity and by virtue of its ample sovereignty, establishes schoolhouses, fosters industry and, with unselfish devotion, finally equips the Filipino people for statehood, and then, because the Philippines are so far away, and because the Filipinos better, instead of admitting them as states, grants them their majority and bids them go with a parent's blessing, would that be a dangerous sort of imperialism? The Republican party has not committed itself against such a policy. Our great President, in his letter of acceptance, says: "It is our purpose to establish in the Philippines a government capable to the wants and conditions of FACTS FOR WATER USERS. Annual Report of the Orange Water Directors — Contemplated Work by the Anaheim and Santa Ana Water Companies. The annual meeting of stockholders in the Santa Ana Valley Irrigating company was held at Orange last week. The annual report of the directors submitted. From it we take the following: For the third time work that is much needed on the main canal bad to postponed on account of the scant rainfall preventing the water from being turned out of the ditches for the required site time. Tunnel No. 1, however, was found to be in such a dangerous condition that despite the great need for water, it had to be fixed. It was decided to line the tunnel with cement and, while that work was being done, the conduit between the tunnels was lowered to grade and cemented, and the wooden Parker gate near Jones than Watson's was replaced by a cement one, with undershoot for the storm water. These large and important improvements were made with a loss only twenty-one days' irrigation in the month of February, which loss was providentially supplemented by shooters. In the last annual report of the board of directors, attention was called threatened diversion of water from the damp lands in the Rincón basin tributary to the Santa Ana river. As perhaps the best means of combating these diversions, and after thorough investigation and consultation with Engineer Kellogg and Koebig, and Attorney Hutton, Chapman, Keech and Melrose the boards of directors of the A. U. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co., without dissenting vote, bought the Durkham ranch of 1410 acres, and all the stock tools, etc., and a water right in th THAN ONE ISSUE. for the sake of illustration, this talk of imperialism and does make you just a bit of what may follow a concluding Republican policy of to the Philippines until we some honorable disposition of are you going to do about things that Mr. Bryan's party do and to undo? ence, there is the tariff. Do that overturned and all the of the country put awry by sensation, just as business has self to it? Country is now nicely sailingudent monetary system and social and commercial worlds in knowing what to expect. Want this feeling of certainty why to be supplanted by a feel-certainty and loss of concern of national banks, under environmental supervision, has re- extended, affording needed facilities to small interior throughout the country. Do so vote to abolish that systemute for it an untried banking question. Paramount" consideration of war should be the maintenance sent wise and progressive doctrine of the Republican party. Good and the voter should keep them good and make them vociferous Bryanites do not rise to do, and yet this should paramounttest" of all para-siderations to every American or producer, dealer or insignia policy, whatever may be hardly be a drop in the bucket to our home policy, which the Bryan have pledged them revolutionize if they can get unity. Do you want them to Happened in a Drug Store. last winter a lady came to store and asked for a brand of line that I did not have in years Mr. C. R. Grandin, the druggist of Ontario, N. Y. disappointed and wanted to every division and branch of government of the Philippines must be imposed the inviolable rules: "That no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation; that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the rights of a speedy and public trial; to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense; that excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted." And so on, including all the blessed safeguards to human liberty embodied in our bill of rights and which have been the heritage of English and American people since the great Charter. "Therefore, what the President really says," continues the Examiner, "is this: 'Until congress should direct otherwise I ordered that certain provisions of the constitution of the United States selected by me should be enforced.'" In other words, William McKinley sets both himself and congress above the constitution. He picks out certain parts of the constitution which are to be enforced until he or congress orders otherwise, and the rest is not to be executed at all. Of course, if he has the power to do that he has equally the power to order his officials to ignore all parts of the constitution alike. If that is not imperialism, what would be a good, handy name for it?" The writer agrees with the Examiner that the foregoing is imperialism, if there is such a thing in America, but if it is not, a good, handy name for it would be "common-sense conduct." But the American people will never become greatly terrified at an imperialism whose first overt act is to extend to a lowly people the safeguards of the Anglo-American bill of rights, the incarnation, bone and very bone, flesh and very flesh, of human liberty, the foundation for self-government, the antidote to tyranny, the spirit of just laws made perfect. And think of what must have been the effect of the blow which our imperialistic President thus dealt to those far away, stranger peoples! How it must have stunned them! Having never, in all their lives or the lives of their ancestors, known liberty or justice or security or the safeguards of Anglo-American common law, to have exalted head of a mighty and conquering nation, with a few strokes of his pen, hurl at them, unasked, the safeguarding rights and privileges which cost the British people centuries of sacrifice and whose extension to a black brotherhood bathed the Great Republic in blood—to have this great beneficence fall upon them as the rain from heaven, as dew out of the starlight, to come to them as unsought as the light of the sun, as the balm of the atmosphere, as salvation by the free and unpurchased grace of Almighty God, without their effort to be made recipients of the greatest boon known to human civilization! Is it a wonder that those humble peoples have not yet awakened to a full realization of what American imperialism stands for? And is it a wonder that the assignes and devisees and legatees of Fort Sumner and Fort Pillow stand idelity and by virtue of its ample sovereignty, establishes schoolhouses, fosters industry and, with useless fish devotion, finally equips the Flipino people for statehood, and then, because the Philippines are so far away, and because it would suit the Filipinos better, instead of admitting them as states, grants them their majority and bids them go with a parent's blessing, would that be a dangerous sort of imperialism? The Republican party has not committed itself against such a policy. Our great President, in his letter of acceptance, says: "It is our purpose to establish in the Philippines a government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants and to prepare them for self-government when they are ready for it and as rapidly as they are ready for it. Is not this wiser than to give them self-government without preparing them for self-government and before they are ready for self-government. When that readiness for self-government can be attained is not now knowable, and to make promises in advance of knowledge of when such promises can be fulfilled is unwise and likely to prove a prolific source of misunderstanding hereafter. STANDING FROM UNDER. The efforts of the forces of Bryanism to stand out from under the 16 to 1 proposition are little short of Herculean. In his letter of acceptance Mr. Bryan made as graceful a backdown as possible, and yet maintain a show of consistency, and every speaker on the road and every Bryanian newspaper have done their best to make it appear that Mr. Bryan could not do anything for the free coinage of silver if he wanted to and they have sought by implication to make it appear that he would not if he could. This dodge is artful but it implies only a pre-election significance. The plan from the start was, first, to commit the Bryan forces to the free coinage of silver so that, in the event of having made a successful canvass, the amalgamated parties would stand pledged to the interests of silver mine owners. This done those parties were to be as free as possible to hedge, and conciliate and reassure those who had refused to support Mr. Bryan because of his advocacy of the free coinage of silver. The gold Democratic vote is the vote for which the cohorts of Bryanism are straining every nerve. And the gold Democrats can commit no folly so great as to allow themselves to be caught with such chaff. As President McKinley wisely said in his letter of acceptance, the free coinage of silver is the only bond of union between the various factions that go to make up Bryanism. The president might have gone further and pointed out that the essential element in this bond of union is flatness. The Populists and silver Republicans, not daring at this time to stand unequivocally for a purely fiat currency content themselves with a modified form of idelity and by virtue of its ample sovereignty, establishes schoolhouses, fosters industry and, with useless fish devotion, finally equips the Flipino people for statehood, and then because the Philippines are so far away, and because it would suit the Filipinos better instead of admitting them as states, grants them their majority and bids them go with a parent's blessing, would that be a dangerous sort of imperialism? The Republican party has not committed itself against such a policy. Our great President, in his letter of acceptance, says: "It is our purpose to establish in the Philippines a government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants and to prepare them for self-government when they are ready for it and as rapidly as they are ready for it. Is not this wiser than to give them self-government without preparing them for self-government and before they are ready for self-government. When that readiness for self-government can be attained is not now knowable, and to make promises in advance of knowledge of when such promises can be fulfilled is unwise and likely to prove a prolific source of misunderstanding hereafter. AS mentioned in last report, so of defendants in the case of the U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co., the Jurupa Land and Water Co. et al appealed from the order of the Super court, transferring the case from Orange county to Los Angeles county because they wanted the case tried Riverside or San Bernardino county The Supreme court sustained on one or the lower court, thereby establishing the transfer of the case to Los Angeles county. In the meantime the purchaser of the Durkee ranch, and changes the laws and decisions of the county have made the complaint ancient history; hence there is a movement foot with reasonable assurance of success; dismiss this omnibus suit to prosecute each infringement of rights separately as it occurs. In line with this latter policy these companies are now prosecuting O Fuller et al. for taking water out on the basin of the Santa Ana river six four or five miles above the Durkee ranch, and carrying it over was shed into the basin of Mill creek court refused to grant a temporary junction, presumably on the ground that irreparable damage would not suffer by the plaintiffs while they was being tried. It is to hoped by a speedy and successful issue will reach in the main trial of the case. The stockholders at the last审 Happened in a Drug Store.

The president might have gone further and pointed out that the essential element in this bond of union is flatism. The Populists and silver Republicans, not daring at this time to stand unequivocally for a purely fiat currency content themselves with a modified form of flatism that represents only 52 per cent of flat to 48 per cent of real substance. They would prefer flat without substance. Good News for our Readers Who have serofula taints in their blood, and who has not? Serofula in all its forms is cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla which purifies the blood. This disease, which frequently appears in children, is greatly to be dreaded. It is most likely to affect glands of neck, which becomes enlarged, eruptions appear on the head and face, and the eyes are frequently affected. Upon its first appearance, perhaps in slight eruptions or pimples. Serofula should be entirely eradicated from the system by a thorough course of Hood's Sarsaparilla to prevent all the painful and sickening consequences of running serofula sores which drain the system, sap the strength and make existence utterly wretched. Nasal Catarrh quickly yields treatment by Ely's Cream Balm, which is ably aromatic. It is received through nostrils, cleanses and heals the whole face over which it diffuses itself. Drugs sell the 50c. size; Trial size by many cents. Test it and you are sure to conceive each intolerance separately as it occurs. In line with this latter policy the companies are now prosecuting O'Fuller et al. for taking the water out the basin of the Santa Ana river four or five miles above the Durham ranch, and carrying it over the water shed into the basin of Mill creek. Court refused to grant a temporary junction, presumably on the ground that irreparable damage would not suffer by the plaintiff while the case was being tried. It is to be hoped a speedy and successful issue will reached in the main trial of the case. The stockholders at the last and meeting unanimously adopted the motion "that the board take steps to velop water by means of drains laterals as recommended by the engineers." Now, the engineers have variably advised, as the only feasible plan, that a submerged dam be constructed at the mouth of the Seabasin; that the water for both paniies be taken out at this point carried through the Cajon ditch larged and extended; to point oppen to the intake of the S. A. V. I. Co. with a permanent division gate would our share into a pipe to be conveyed under the bed of the river; that bleeding ditches be run into several basins situated along the tion of the river thus relieved of its face flow, to drain out during the gating season the subsurface water stored in the gravel.

Report of the Orange Water District — Contemplated Work by the Anaheim and Santa Ana Water Companies. Annual meeting of stockholders at Santa Ana Valley Irrigation was held at Orange last week. Annual report of the directors was read. From it we take the follow: The third time work that is much on the main canal had to be used on account of the scant rain preventing the water from being out of the ditches for the requisite Tunnel No. 1, however, was to be in such a dangerous condition, despite the great need of it had to be fixed. It was devised the tunnel with cement, while that work being done, a fault between the tunnels was due to grade and cemented, and Wooden Parker gate near Jonathanson's was replaced by a cement with undershoot for the storm. These large and importantiments were made with a loss of twenty-one days' irrigation in the month of February, which loss was essentially supplemented by showers. Last annual report of the board directors, attention was called to diversion of water from the banks in the Rincon basin tribune at Santa Ana river. As per the best means of combating those runs, and after thorough investigation consultation with Engineers and Koebig, and Attorneys Chapman, Keech and Melrose, heads of directors of the A. U. W. and S. A. V. I. Co., without any voting, bought the Durkee of 1410 acres, and all the stock, etc., and a water right in the develop water by means of drains and laterals" in the various basins and pockets in the river bed after the surface water is removed. The plan outlined by the engineers could be worked out piecemeal according to the ability of the companies to meet the expenses, although the stockholders of our company, at the last annual meeting, passed a motion "that the board of directors proceed to raise funds for water development by assessment on the stock of the corporation." Your board of directors, however, would recommend that, on account of the burden assumed by the purchase of the Durkee ranch, the work of development be taken up by degrees and advanced by easy stages, a portion each year as the stockholders are able to bear it, until the whole system be completed. With the foregoing plan in mind, and as the first step in that direction, the two companies bought the Ballestero tract of 163 acres and a piece of government land adjoining, of 16 acres, the two tracts completely controlling the mouth of the Scully basin, and giving ample room for a dam and headworks. A committee was recently appointed to negotiate for a right of way from that dam site to the head of the Cajon canal; the enlargement of the said canal by the two companies is also under consideration. Considerable sums were expended during the year by the two companies in engineering, surveying, and water measurements to defend our rights in the Santa Ana river. Without going into too many details, it may be briefly stated that the receipts of the company for the year just closing have paid off the $6000 note of the Fruit Grower's Bank of Fullerton; have paid $5000 of our half of the cash payment on the Durkee ranch; have paid half of all the joint expenses for engineers and attorneys' services, and for the purchase of the Ballestero and adjacent tracts, besides cementing the tunnel, carrying on the great amount of improvements set forth in the superintendent's report, meeting the current expenses of the company, and leaving a balance of $23,572.26 in the treasury. While the indebtedness of the company has increased $38,032.07 over last year, its assets in real estate and water rights LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST. Sugar. E. Turk returned on Wednesday evening, the 3d inst., from Oxnard, where he has been engaged during the season in the chemical department of the sugar factory at that point. He departed on Friday for Louisiana to assume a similar service in the Oxnard Brothers' mill at Adeline plantation. He reports the season at Oxnard as being most successful. Sixty thousand tons of beets were crushed, and 40,000 pounds of sugar produced. As high as 2100 tons of beets were received at the factory in one day, and the highest day's sugar production was 5000 sacks. Reports from Louisiana are to the effect that the cane crop is excellent, and a large production is anticipated. Mr. Turk will be absent about three months. His wife and child will remain here and in Los Angeles during his absence. Masons. A. S. Bradford is in San Francisco in attendance upon the session of the Masonic grand lodge. Mr. Bradford represents the Anaheim lodge, of which he is the Worshipful Master. W. M. McFadden is also in attendance upon the grand lodge as a delegate from the newly established Fullerton lodge. The Fullerton lodge has been acting under dispensation during the past year, but will probably be granted a charter by the grand lodge. Amendments. A new law passed by the last legislature provides that the county clerks of different counties shall mail a copy of all proposed amendments to be voted upon to each voter in the county at least twenty days prior to election. County Clerk Beckett has been notified that he will be supplied with a sufficient number of copies to comply with this law. He will also mail to every voter in Orange county a copy of the official ballot, not earlier than ten days nor It last annual report of the board of directors, attention was called to diversion of water from the banks in the Rincon basin tribes to the Santa Ana river. As per best means of combating those incidents, and after thorough investigation and consultation with Engineers Chapman, Keech and Melrose, heads of directors of the A. U. W., the S. A. V. I. Co., without a voting vote, bought the Durkee of 1410 acres, and all the stock, etc., and a water right in the 1,000 inches, for the sum of $7. The dairy stock was sold, water belonging to the ranch brought down into the valley to indicate the water supply of the two conducting the irrigation season. Receipts from the sale of stock, products, pasturage, etc., for the months exceeded the disbursement by the sum of $7. Some of the disbursements, for permanent improvements, building fences, painting and buildings, repairing tools, etc.;ance were incurred in the care property and in making a fine coat hay, which will be included in future receipts from the ranch. Incorb tract of forty acres, bid in favor by the company at sheriff's was redeemed before the year was home of the heirs of the estate on behalf of the oil excitement. Revised by laws of the company reported at the last annual meeting received 4,785.86 votes in favor out of the 10,081.16 votes contrary to their adoption. Very few have been received since that hence it may be concluded that issued by laws failed of adoption mentioned in the last report, some defendants in the case of the A. C. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. vs. Cupa Land and Water Co. et al. Used from the order of the Superior transferring the case from the county to Los Angeles county; they wanted the case tried in spite or San Bernardino counties. Supreme court sustained the order lower court; thereby establishing transfer of the case to Los Angeles. In the meantime the purchase Durkee ranch, and changes in laws and decisions of the courts, made the complaint ancient history there is a movement on with reasonable assurance of success this omnibus suit and execute each infringement of our separately as it occurs. One with this latter policy the two miles are now prosecuting O. B. et al. for taking the water out of basin of the Santa Ana river some five miles above the Durkee and carrying it over the water onto the basin of Mill creek. The refused to grant a temporary injunction, presumably on the ground irreparable damage would not be caused by the plaintiffs while the suit being tried. It is to be hoped thatady and successful issue will be filed in the main trial of the case. Without going into too many details, it may be briefly stated that the receipts of the company for the year just closing have paid off the $6000 note of the Fruit Growers' Bank of Fullerton; have paid $5000 of our half of the cash payment on the Durkee ranch; have paid half of all the joint expenses for engineers and attorneys' services, and for the purchase of the Ballestero and adjacent tracts, besides cementing the tunnel, carrying on the great amount of improvements set forth in the superintendent's report, meeting current expenses of the company, and leaving a balance of $23,572.26 in the treasury. While the indebtedness of the company has increased $38,032.07 over last year, its assets in real estate and water rights have increased over $50,000, to say nothing of the great improvement in its canals and ditches. Another dry year—the third in succession—adds its testimony to the efficiency of the Santa Ana Valley irrigation company. Undoubtedly direct use of the water from the Durkee ranch has helped to keep up the supply and maintain the steadiness of the flow. Much of the success of the service, however, is due to the faithfulness of the officers and employees, who sometimes get little consideration and scant courtesy from those whom they serve. Santa Ana Cannery. The cannery at Santa Ana closed down last week for the season, after a four months' run. The season was shorter than anticipated, only a small quantity of fruit being supplied from the local field. The tomato crop, which about Anaheim is turning out splendidly, was disappointing. Figures of the pack show number of cases and cans: Cases. Cans. Apricots... 5,258 126,210 Peaches... 5,632 135,190 Pears... 16,300 391,200 Tomatoes... 3,787 90,888 Total... 30,977 743,488 The total pack of last season exceeded that of present by about 10,000 cases and the amount disbursed for labor was greater. The figures for this season paid for labor foot up $15,000. The tonnage of green fruit handled at the cannery was as follows: Apricots... 178,700 pounds Peaches... 319,363 " Pears... 784,300 " Tomatoes... 209,500 " Total... 1491,863 " Cash paid out for fruit amounted to $11,260. Of this only a small amount goes to local growers, as they had no fruit of consequence to supply. This sum will be augmented by $1000 to be paid for the balance of the county's tomato crop which is being forwarded to Los Angeles to be handled at the cannery there. Orders are being received and shipments are being made to New Orleans, Pittsburg, Kansas City and Joplin, Mo. One order indeed has been received from Ceylon. The Anaheim cannery will run for some three weeks or a month yet. 'One hundred cars of fruits and vegetables will be canned. Steamer Trips. Senator George C. Perkins, accompanied by J. Farrall, president of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, and George Lawler, the auditor of same company, were last week examining the property of the company and considering plans for the future. The primary cause of the trip down the coast was for the purpose of deciding how to put into execution a plan which Amendments. A new law passed by the last legislature provides that the county clerks of different counties shall mail a copy of all proposed amendments to be voted upon to each voter in the county at least twenty days prior to election. County Clerk Beckett has been notified that he will be supplied with a sufficient number of copies to comply with this law. He will also mail to every voter in Orange county a copy of the official ballot, not earlier than ten days nor less than three days before the election. Fishing for Oil Tools. The Chino Land and Water company is fishing for the drill at the bottom of its oil well in the hills south of Chino. The drill was caught by a cave-in at a depth of 800 feet a month ago. Numerous forms of fishing tools have been used without success, but others are expected when a final effort will be made to getthe drill out. Should this attempt be unsuccessfulthe company will probably start a new well. A hundred feetof oil sand was passed inthe well rich enough in a high gravity oil to pay for pumping. Inthe present well 15-inch stovepipe casing was used to water when it was reduced to 11% screw casing. Oil Notes. The Cubbon Oil company has filed articles of incorporation withthe county clerk.
