THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24. 1903. NOTE AND COMMENT "CALIFORNIA people," says Frank Leslie's Weekly, "love their state. Their enthusiasm for California is remarkably noticeable. The Native Sons and Native Daughters of the Golden West are organizations enrolling more than three hundred thousand members who proudly boast their California parentage. A unique organization in California's development is the California Promotion Committee at San Francisco, representing the leading commercial organization of the state. The Promotion Committee is supported entirely by subscriptions, the subscribers being associate members. Its members serve gratuitously. It was organized a year and a half ago, and in that time it has brought thousands of settlers to the state. It has published unbiased matter relating to California and distributes it throughout the world it has maintained a number of lecturers with stereopticon views in the east. Great blocks of land, through the medium of the committee, are being divided up for settlers. The committee has nothing to sell, and the benefits gained by those who contribute to its funds are those which they share in common with the entire state. In the Promotion Committee California has centralized her work of state development Thousands of inquiries are received by the committee and intelligent responses given." is commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics, and Commissioner Meyers was appointed from Stockton. His term expired on April 10 of this year, but the politicians have only recently had a hunch that his successor would be appointed. The two men supposed to be in the lead for the place are Frank Roney of Vallejo and Foreman Reed of the Oakland Enquirer printing office. The tip seems to be out that Reed is to win, so Alameda will get another slice of the patronage pie. There are four jobs under the commissioner—a deputy and three special agents. The present deputy is J.D. Kelsey of San Jose, who draws a salary of $1800 a year. Two special agents at $1200 a year each are E.L. Reguin of Sacramento and W.Day of San Francisco, the latter not having steady employment. E.Zwicker of San Francisco has the same title as the other special agents, but gets only $720 a year in salary. At the meeting of the San Bernardino board of supervisors held last week the members practically agreed upon using voting machines in future elections in that county. When it is remembered that the machines cost in the neighborhood of $600 each it will be seen that there is considerable expense attached to the purchase of the new vote registers, but this expense will be more than net by the amalgamation of the various voting precincts throughout the county. At a rough guess the said supervisors agreed that three machines would be needed for San Bernardino, two for Redlands, one for Ontario, one for Upland, one for Colton, one for SENATOR BARD AGAINST BILLION. Argument of Californian Against Cuban Treaty—Local Industries will Suffer. Senator Bard's speech against Cuba reciprocity has reached here in that Congressional Record, and is here in part reproduced as showing his stand in defense of the interests of his constituents: The claim that we are indebted by honor to Cuba rests, as I understand wholly upon an interpretation of all our acts which have brought about our present relations with Cuba, and especially upon the implication that our demand for the acceptance by Cuba of the provisions of the Platt amendment in some degree at least was coupled with a promise that such acceptance should have other reward than the performance by us of the specific obligations undertaken by us. I know that it has been said that President McKinley caused it to be understood that, far as his recommendation might accomplish the purpose, a reciprocal arrangement between the United States and Cuba advantageous to both countries would be made, but that such promise was conditioned upon the acceptance by Cuba of the Platt amendment; but, whether that be true or not we are responsible as a part of the law making branch of the government for all legislation, and however much may be our respect for the memory of President McKinley we are to take nothing for granted, and even if some one here authorized to speak for the dead arrow to confirm the statement to which he have referred, nevertheless we cannot fail to remember that the lamented President was wise and patriotic, and that the conditions in Cuba have materially changed since his tragic death, and above all considerations must be guided by our own conscience. the medium of the committee, are being divided up for settlers. The committee has nothing to sell, and the benefits gained by those who contribute to its funds are those which they share in common with the entire state. In the Promotion Committee California has centralized her work of state development Thousands of inquiries are received by the committee and intelligent responses given." While the cold weather interferes with the distribution of oranges from New York, at the producing end of the line the work is going on without intermission, and shippers are hurrying forward their fruit to secure whatever advantage there may be in the holiday trade. Contrary to most seasons, practically nothing more than ordinary business has been done, excepting here and there a spurt for holiday distribution, which increased the sales for a day or so. Seldom or never has the Orange market been so unsatisfactory, or less likely to yield profit to the producer and the handler, prices rule low, excepting on selected fruit, and then it is difficult to obtain any certain figures. Jamaicas have been the source of more loss than gain. Porto Ricos have been uncertain. Californias are coming in unsatisfactory condition and scarcely pay charges. Floridas have done better, but no fortunes have been realized in them, and so it has gone in New York all the season. Now, around the holidays, when business ought to be good and prices on a profitable basis, practically nothing is being done. The only oranges that satisfy buyers are Floridas. They are coming in fair condition, most of them are well ripened and fair colored. But even in New York there is complaint, and it is said that a good many of the auction sales are below cost. Re tailers are buying more freely in small lots, and there is, perhaps, a better season in prospect. The crop is said to be about three-fourths shipped, but the remaining fourth is said to represent fair qualities of fruit. Californias are coming more freely than the quality of the fruit warrants. Washington navels are small and green, and otherwise poor and unsatisfactory. Again the place seeking politicians are waiting on Governor Pardee, who has an annoying reluctance to make up his mind in the matter of appointments. This time it is the labor commissionship which is worrying the office-seekers' union, and they have about concluded that Alameda county is to carry away the machines cost in the neighborhood of $600 each it will be seen that there is considerable expense attached to the purchase of the new vote registers, but this expense will be more than met by the amalgamation of the various voting precincts throughout the county. At a rough guess the said supervisors agreed that three machines would be needed for San Bernardino, two for Redlands, one for Ontario, one for Upland, one for Colton, one for Chino, one for Needles and perhaps others. One machine will register 1000 votes during the usual allotted time for the casting of ballots at elections. The expansionists along the coast line are the ones just now who are urgent in their desire that trolley car communication be opened up with Huntington Beach, before the spring months begin to attract travel to the beaches. There are 1800 acres at this beach, all controlled by a company of which Mr. Huntington is himself a director. Now it is reported that the engineers' plans are being considered for a spur from the Long Beach main line in the vicinity of Signal hill, which will be carried to a point somewhere in the vicinity of Anaheim Landing and then will follow the coast line to the new beach. But according to the ultimate idea, which has not yet matured, or has not been allowed to transpire, this new beach line will not be a spur at all. At future date it will be continued along the coast to Newport and from there be continued to Santa Ana and a junction made with the direct line from Los Angeles to Santa Ana. The Huntington beach has a frontage much the same as Long Beach and there is said to be no undertow, and that the new breakwater works at San Pedro has had no perceptible influence in causing a swirl in the water. The fishing, too, is said to be splendid, partly because the waters have not been over-fished. With the completion of this branch line, however, a great deal of attractive residential acreage will be put on the market, and with about three and a half miles of ocean frontage the new beach will make a bid for favor. Howard E. HUNTINGTON, son of Henry E. Huntington, John J. Akin, E.P. Clark and S.B. McLennegan, street railway magnates, were arrested in Los Angeles last week for failing to sprinkle the railway tracks, according to the city ordinance. The arrests were the results of a crusade against the clouds of dust on the streets. The magnates are When it is remembered that the machines cost in the neighborhood of $600 each it will be seen that there is considerable expense attached to the purchase of the new vote registers, but this expense will be more than met by the amalgamation of the various voting precincts throughout the county.

One machine will register 1000 votes during the usual allotted time for the casting of ballots at elections. The treaty secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba, and that not an American interest is sacrificed; that it "do harm to no industry," but that it will benefit many industries, and therefore it is in the interest of our people as a whole. Now, Mr. President, I am unable to accept these propositions. I enter my earnest protest, on behalf of our agricultural producers, against any legislation that seeks to put a burden upon them in a vain attempt to help indiefer manufacturers. Until the latter adopts business methods and do what other nations do to gain more of Cuba trade, no obligation rests upon Congress to initiate any unusual plan promoting their interests. The Republicans of California are earnestly and intelligently devoted to the principles and policies of this party as are the Republicans of other states, and in their last state convention held at Sacramento August 26, 1902, they gave expression to public sentiment and to their understanding of reciprocity in the following clauses and vigorous statement, which is only in accord with the national form, but is coupled with a reaffirmation of their adherence to it: "We declare our firm opposition all reciprocity treaties inconsistent with protection to American labor industry, to which the Republican industry stands pledged, and especially any reciprocity arrangement with Cuba, as being destructive to their sugar, raisin, citrus and dried fruit dueties of California, in which amounts of capital have been invested under the assurance that she would be safeguarded by the protector tariff as other industries are protected and we further declare our opposition to any reciprocity policy other than laid down in the Republican form of 1900, which says: 'We feel that associated policy of reciprocity directed as to open our markets or variable terms for what we do not selves produce, in return for freeeign markets.'" "The Republicans of California no reason to fear that they will be guarded as refractory or heretical making that declaration or proclaim against this treaty." Again the place seeking politicians are waiting on Governor Pardee, who has an annoying reluctance to make up his mind in the matter of appointments. This time it is the labor commissionership which is worrying the office-seekers' union, and they have about concluded that Alameda county is to carry away the plum again. The term of Labor Commissioner F. V. Meyers has long since expired, but the governor refrains from removing him from his place, while those who clamor for the job grow pale with hope deferred. It is a nice sort of office, with nothing strenuous to do, a salary of $3000 a year to get fat on, and some crumbs of patronage to distribute if the governor does not hog them for his own. The title of the office Howard E. Huntington, son of Henry E. Huntington, John J. Akin, E.P. Clark and S.B. McLennan, street railway magnates, were arrested in Los Angeles last week for failing to sprinkle the railway tracks, according to the city ordinance. The arrests were the results of a crusade against the clouds of dust on the streets. The magnates are making a fight against the ordinance. The street railway managers were taken to the police court and the city attorney says the cases against them will be prosecuted with vigor. The magnates have not yet been thrust behind steel bars, but were compelled to stand up in police court and plead. The Los Angeles council has decreed that the companies must sprinkle their tracks in the city, and now it is up to them to enforce the decree.

Some of the men of the state are engaged in industry—indeed, I may say that the men who are organized for advancement of the industry on lines are, as a class, prominent in intelligence, public spirit and pride.

Bard’s speech against Cuban ity has reached here in the National Record, and is here in produced as showing his stand se of the interests of his conclim that we are indebted by Cuba rests, as I understand, upon an interpretation of all which have brought about our relations with Cuba, and especion the implication that our or the acceptance by Cuba of visions of the Platt amendment, degree at least, was coupled promise that such acceptance have other reward than the perly by us of the specific obligataken by us. I know that I said that President McKindle it to be understood that, so is recommendation might accute the purpose, a reciprocal artnet between the United States a advantageous to both counuld be made, but that such was conditioned upon the action by Cuba of the Platt amendment, whether that be true or not, responsible as a part of the lawbranch of the government for nation, and however much may aspect for the memory of Preskinley we are to take nothing need, and even if some one here had to speak for the dead arose from the statement to which I merred, nevertheless we cannot remember that the lamented it was wise and patriotic, and conditions in Cuba have machanged since his tragical and above all considerations we guided by/our own consciences ment and development of the industry, to the study of the causes of the disease of the fruits; and by dint of such inteligent study and patient research they have given to science valuable information and suggestions and found remedies for the enemies which have at times threatened the destruction of their groves and orchards. They have scoured the world in their search for such information, and to the world they have given the results of their expenditure of time, thought and money. Cuba, stimulated by the prospects open to her by this legislation, is profiting by this experience and research of our people, and for two years or more she has been carrying away nursery stock and buds of citrus trees, as well as all the valuable information concerning the results of the experience of our intelligent orchardists, and by adopting also their methods of culture and care and being supplied with the most improved varieties of citrus fruits, she will soon, under the rapid processes of a tropical climate, be ready to offer in our American market fruit equal in quality to that of Florida, Arizona and California. Under the conditions of cheap labor and cheaper cost of transportation her citrus fruits of all varieties—oranges, lemons, limes and pomelos—improved in quality, cannot be excluded from our markets by the readjustment of tariff duties which this bill provides. Now, Mr. President, the particular point which I desire to press upon the attention of the Senate is that it is not so much the immediate injury to our industries that we fear, as it is the future injury which will result from this legislation. This injury results in two ways. On the one hand, in consequence of the stimulus given by this legislation to certain industries of Cuba, which can be developed into immense proportions under such favorable conditions that they may soon successfully invade our markets, and, on the other hand, in consequence of the effectual blow that it strikes by discouraging the further development of Ridden on the Spinal Cord. The following remarkable essay on the horse is said to be from the pen of an Indian student: "The horse is a very noble quadruped, but when he is angry he will not do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrup and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drives his animal to the meadow. He has four legs; two are on the front side and two are afterward. These are the weapons on which he runs. He also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction toward his foe, but this he does only when in a vexatious mood. There is no animal like the horse. No sooner they see their guardian or master than they always cry for food, but it is always at the morning time. They have got tails, but not so long as the cow and other such like animals."—Scottish American. An Ancient "Frickalse." A manuscript cookbook of the year 1784 contains this recipe for "a frickalse:" "Take ye fowls, cut them in pieces and clean them season with peper & salt a little mace nutmeg cloves some parsley, a little bit of onion. Let them lay 2 hours then flowr them very well, fry in sweet butter & make ye butter hott before you put them in. Fry a fine brown. Wash ye pan & put them in a gain with a pint of gravy. Lett them swimyer in ye gravy. Take the yolks of 8 eggs with a little grated nutmeg & a little juice of lemon & 2 spoonfulls of wine.

A Lincolnshire parish once possessed a clergyman who was not much appreciated. One day he remarked to his churchwarden: "You people don't seem to appreciate me. Do you know that on leaving my last sphere of work the people showed their appreciation so much that they gave me a real silver salver?" "That is nothing," was the churchwarden's reply. "If tha' would only go A legislative, therefore, is not used by our honor, then we must upon the other considerations are supposed to support it. It that it is demanded also by our as well as by honor, and that may secures to the United States advantages as great as those in Cuba, and that not an American is sacrificed; that it "will not no industry," but that it benefit many industries, and that it is in the interest of our whole. Mr. President, I am unable to these propositions. I enter my protest, on behalf of our agriland producers, against any legislation seeks to put a burden upon a vain attempt to help indifferent manufacturers. Until the latter business methods and do what nations do to gain more of Cuba's obligation rests upon Conde initiate any unusual plan for their interests. Republicans of California are as fully and intelligently devoted to principles and policies of their states are the Republicans of any state, and in their last state conference held at Sacramento August they gave expression to public opinion and to their understanding reciprocity in the following clearagogous statement, which is not accord with the national platform is coupled with a reaffirmation their adherence to it: "I declare our firm opposition to reciprocity treaties inconsistent protection to American labor and industry, to which the Republican parishes pledged, and especially to reciprocity arrangement with states being destructive to the beet raisin, citrus and dried fruit industries of California, in which large parts of capital have been invested in the assurance that the same be safeguarded by the protective laws other industries are protected; the further declare our opposition to reciprocity policy other than said down in the Republican plat of 1900, which says: 'We favor associated policy of reciprocity, so need as to open our markets on false terms for what we do not our produce, in return for free form-markets.' The Republicans of California have reason to fear that they will be read as refractory or heretical for that declaration or protest against this treaty." Seeds.

The Republicans of California have reason to fear that they will be redicted as refractory or heretical for that declaration or protest of this treaty.' The last state election in Californicum reciprocity, and particularly Cunicum reciprocity, was the subject of discussion. There was an effort to by a few interested men to premany expression against Cuban reciprocity by the Republican state conion. I remember quite well that the time, many of my neighbors who engaged in sugar heet farming would, quite as strongly as horticultural, that some forecicle declaration made expressing the common sentitle entertained by the people, irrerieve of party affiliation, that the posed Cuban reciprocity measure directly intimical to their interests. The public sentiment was strong then was strong now in the state. Whethny fear that the protest in the Reublican state platform would not be found expression in a materire reduced Republican majority in state election of November 4, 1902, is not prepared to say, but as the Republican majority of over 25,000 for Kinley in 1900 was reduced in 1902 about 3000 for the Republican candider for governor, there is cause for the reflection.
