The people of the country entertain profound sympathy for the citizens of Jacksonville, Florida. That city and its suburbs are noted summer and winter ri sorts. The climate of Florida is of an equable character in all seasons and the natural attractions of the region are very strong. But yellow fever has become epi demic about Jacksonville and as a resul the people are fleeing in all directions in the utmost terror. No one who has no passed througli such an experience can form any adequate conception of the awe fulness of a visitation by yellow fever. War does not make greater havoc, am au extended siege would really do no mor injury to tiie business interests of a citj than assault by the plague of fever. I unsettles confidence in the place for resi dence, and very effectually turns the touris class in other directions. It is altogether probable—indeed, w saw it so stated not long ago—that th s>:init:iry economy of Florida cities am towns has not received that attention which should be bestowed in places tha are advertised as health resorts. It ha been demonstrated that by proper sanitar precautions, it is possible to reduce th danger from yellow fever to Buch a mini mum as will render its assaults not greatl} dangerous to any locality short of a south em swamp. By proper drainage, destruc tion of offal by cremation, by rigii quarantine against the plague am by isolation of cases of fever, th disease can be so held at arm's length a not to greatly menace the reputation of city. We of California are enabled to now realize what a terrible blow to thie Stat would be invasion by yellow fever o cholera. We have but to glance at th dispatches from Jacksonville to get a idea of what sucu an assault means. Busi ness is suspended ; all hotels and restau rants are closed ; every person who can ge away has fled from the stricken city financial interests are imperiled by th heavy calls upon the banks ; food supplies) have ceased to come in; the poor are be ginning to sufl'er for necessaries; a pall o distress and woe overhangs the eitj stifling clouds of smoke sweep through th streets from tar and sulphur fires buiit, three and four in every block, in the hope to kill the germs of the disease, while tk<) heavy booming of cannon all day lonj. speaks of the eflbrt to etay the pestilence according to the " concussion " theory. If tlie destroyer is not soon driven out rioting will be born of distress, and already there is talk of martial law being declared. It is a fearful picture ; it reveals U> us unut terable woe and immeasurable financial distress, ruined business, crushed indus tries, and a stoppage of the wheels of prog ress. It will take years to restore confi dence fully in Jacksonville, and to win back those who have contributed so greatly to her prosperity in the past, while half a decade will scarcely suffice to put the busi ness of the city upon its old-time founda tions. California should learn her lesson well from the experience of Florida. She is exposed every now and then to the threat of fever and cholera; her intimate and frequent communication with Asiatic countries and her commerce with the south coast make it possible for her to re ceive either disease. If either reaches her hot valley?, the injury to the State would be simply incalculable. Yet there is probably no portion of our common country where so little precaution is taken against the [>ossiblc introduction of pesti lence, and where so little expense is called for to protect it. Sanitary science in California cities has received less at tention than in any other State of the I'nion, while our quarantine regulations are scarcely more than farcical. We have a make-believe system of quarantining that is really often an invitation to the spread of pestilence, which, while it has not stricken ks as yet, may do so at any time. There are four harbors upon our coast which ships from foreign ports may enter. In but one of these is there any provision for quarantining. That is at ■San Francisco: but there it is simply a regulation that keeps a stricken band of voyagers together upon the ship to breed the disease and ccatter it upon the inland blowing winds. The quarantine station instead of being remote, .are upon th shore lines of the most thickly settled sub urban counties, and all but within hailin distance of ferry boats crowded every hou with passengers. There is no provisio whatever, as in £pain, Italy acd France for ascertaining the state of the health bil of the ship while .outside of tee port, o for preventing entrance in case the 6hi bears a plague towards us. The proper systeir^would be durectly op posed to bringiug .£. cholera or feve stricken crew into Sm\ Francisco i liarbo It is possible to provide otherwise,, but all preparations now making look Ao the establishment of a quarantine stativ : nnd hospital in the very 4«eart of suburban population, and in a baj" traversed aloost as much as the streeteof the metropolis. When . iuilera or fever infected ships <tp proach :1.-. Italian or SpanUii port they 4: c kept at a distance until U»s afflicted cc.3. be removed to a remote spot and the ship be thoroughly cleansed a»l fumigated Only in d&sger from stress of weather ie the ship first brought into tl*s harbor of* metropolis. Unfortunately for California, there is no near shelter for Itags ships that arrive off the Golden Gate, Uui neverthe less, save in storms, it would be^ossible to remove pestilential cases before *atry, and sequester them upon remote coast head lands. Besides these consideration? tLsne are those all important ones that sddren* iiteia selves to the sanitary conditions at .our towns and cities. Thai there is a great deal of neglect in this matter of maltuag our streets, alleys, drains snd highways clean and keeping them so, acd in enforc ing sanitary regulations upon foousehold ers is undeniable. We have an un equaled climate and a jwwerful health unxiiiary in atmospheric currents and desiccating dryness. But these do OVt i justify us in neglecting ordinary artificial 1 aids to good sanitation. Every town and city in the State needs to be awakened upon this subject. We should have a State Board of Health with a much larger grant of authority and .subsidiary legal aid to enforce upon the negligent that ob servance of sanitary laws so essential to the preservation of the public health. No one town or city should be privileged*) put the people of the State, or those of any ot her town or city in peril by neglect to observe the laws of cleanliness. We need legisla tion on this subject, aod the State Board of Health, which has attempted heretofore, should again endeavor to have the proper laws enacted and local boards erected that will enforce them. This oncedone,the people will find themselves so benefited that they will never abandon the new for a return to the old system. PRESS EXPRESSIONS.

On Wednesday, the Bth instant, Gov ernor Waterman heard over eighty appli i cations for pardon. Among the petitioners I were fathers and mothers, sisters and I brothers, and friends of those behind the ! prison bars, who asked for commutations of sentences and pardons for the imprisoned. |In several instances, notably that of Goldenson, the Executive was asked to set aside the sentence of death and substitute therefor imprisonment for life. The mother of the murderer of little Mamie Kelly, who is to expiate bis crime on the | scaffold iM San Francisco on the 14lh of ! next month, implored the Governor on | her bended knees to save the life of her i son. The Governor, however, whil« he ■ spoke kindly and sympathizing'y with the ruotutr of the erring and murderous boy, j refused positively to interfere with the sen | fence of the Court, which he considered fut of the eighty applications but six c granted as follows, the reasons given the same being those entered upon the ! books in the Executive office : Lawrence Powers, convicted of an at j tempt to rob in San Francisco in May, 1887, land sentenced to two and a half years mi] ] prisonment in the House of Correction. i The application for pardon is signed by I many prominent business men of San j Francisco, by Hou. John Hunt, Superior Judge, Judge Joseph Kirk, Assistant Dis | trict Attorney, and by ten of tue jurymen who tried the case. The remaining two ; jurors could not be found. Said Powers at the time of his arrest, and for ten years previous thereto, was In the employ of the Pacific Muil Steamship Company, in the I capacity as oiler, and had always borne the ! reputation of being an honest aud indus ! trioua young man. James Cochrau, convicted of murder in the second degree, in Kern county, in December, 18S1, t.nd sentenced to thirty six years imprisonment. It appears by the papers filed in this case, that the crime of which Cochran was convicted was com mitted one night on or about October 20, 1881, while a mob of armed and drunken men were in the act of taking a prisoner from the jail in the town of Kernville, for the purpose of lynching him, and in the confusion attendant apon the attempt, a Deputy Sheriff, one Mitchell by name, was shot and killed. As great doubt exists in the minds of many of the citizens of Kern county as to the guilt of the prisoner, and personal letters from Hon. K. E. Arick, Superior Judge of Kern comity, and George Yenable Smith, ex-District Attorney, con tirni me in the opinion that the sentence was excessive in the extreme and under the circumstances was unwarranted. His sentence is therefore commuted to fifteen Ralph Bull, convicted of grand larceny in Modoc county in December, 188"), and sentenced tutive years' imprisonment. The crime tor which this young man was con victed consisted of the selling of a horse and c irt hirtd by him from a livery stable I in Alturas while under ;!).> influence of liqnor and bad company, brul at the time was but 18 years ol u_-■. Hia petition for clemency is sigue.i by numerous well known citizens of Itodoe and Piutuas counties, among whom are Hon. R. H. F. Vaiiel, Hon. J. D. Goodwin, F. (j. Hail, editor of the Greenville BuUetin, and a former schoolmaster of the youijg man, :iml i-i especially recommended by Hon. G. F. Harris, Superior Judge of Modoc county, wlid states In a personal letter to me that eviiitnce has been brought to light since the trial which, had it been produced at the proper time, would have rnateriallj lightened the young man's sentence. It i my belief that a shorter term of imprison ment will full}' subserve the ends of jus lice, and by this act of clemency the petitioner may bo led to sooner restore ■ I to his former good standing. Hi sentence is therefore commuted to fou Edward E. Howe, convicted of disturb ing the peace in June, 1888, in Los An eeles county, and sentenced to the Connty Jail far 120 days, is pardoned. The appli cation in behalf of said Howe for pardon i signed by many prominent citizens of Po mona and vicinity, by Hon. James Wright the sentencing Justice of the Peace, am Hon. M. B. Harrison, Assistant Distric Attorney, who prosecuted the case. Also letters from tbe jailer of Los Angeles county, showing that Howe is in a feeble state of health and cannot bear without great danger to his life the remainder of his sentence. His crime consisted of a niere breach of the peace while under the influence of liquor, and in ray opinion his sentence was unduly severe. Frank Daley and Frank Golden were convicted in Sacramento county of grand larceny in October, 1884, and sentenced to the State Prison for a term of nineyears each. They were both boys of IS or 20 years of age. They pleaded guilty to the crime of grand larceny, which consisted of the taking a horse, saddle and bridle, the property of T. I). Scriver, a livtry stable keeper on Founh street, between I and J, and which Hppeired to have been more the result of a boyish escapade than of any criminal intent. " Tne petition ask ing for clemency is signed by many promi nent citizens aud business men of Sacra mento, among whom are Timothy I.co, Chief of Police ; \V. B. Hamilton, County <:lerk; Rev. Thomas Grace, M. M. Urew, Sheriff; T. D. Scriver, the victim of the crime, and others; and the pardon ii earnestly recommended by Hon. .1. W. Ain:stror.pr. Superior Judge, who passed i-enttnee upon the prisoners, and wh Strong ami cogent reasons I'-r his course in tfae premises. Thtir sentences were com muted to seven years. EXPLAINING HIS TITLE. now Military Honors Ware Thrust Cpou and Worn by an Innocent Victim. The Chico Enterprise, in a spirit of ill nature toward the able and witty editor of I the San Francisco Altn. John P. Irish, de clares that the title of Colonel, by which Mr. Irish is sometimes addressed, was ac quired by his refusal to volunteer, and by his having been drafted and having fur nished a substitute ; and that, in derision, the loyal women of the town in which he lived presented him with a tin toy sword and called him " Colonel." Mr. Irish's re ply, which is appended below, deserves a conspicuous place in the humorous litera ture of the country: Perhaps the Eyiterprise editor never bcre I the burden of a title. If not, we envy him. I Perhaps he is a Kentuckian, and was born I a Colonel. If so, it is worn like any other I congenital deformity, in contentment, be cause he never knew the pleasure of not having it. We desire to disavow having been drafted, and the tin-sword story. They are valuable campaign lies, we kuuw, and it may be unproft-ssiooal to kill them off so yXNWg. None but tbe author of their being knows the anxiety and care lavished upon them before they wer« thought tit to join the procession along with British free trade, and the o» fber story about British gold being sent to tbe President. But we are compelled to deny these two lie?, no; to ; dep; ive their author of the innocent pleas ure of paternity, cor with a desire to rob his parly of any needed argument where with to intlueooe the judgments of men. We deny them only in a spirit of fairness to the large number of gentlemen with j.wiiom we associate, some of whom were l.bern Colonels ami others ot whom had Colonelcy thrust upon them. Many ot I'them are our fellow-sufferers, and tb*>y base the right tv kno*7 that the Chico En ttgm isc erra not only ie ■calling " Colonel " I a military title, but in its circumstantial jj narrative of the involuntary acquisition ot t that-title by the unfortunate member oi irthetirnernity to w£»on: it unfeelingly re "Colonel" is no more no evidence that &c person addressed by that title has clothed iiis neck witit thunder and worn a red sash bias across hts .Croat «levaiion than calling e.-taloon " The Albatabra " is evi dence that it is the original ,valace of the Mooea *rhare the fuunUuis used to tinkle and fcilloraers of the Prophet sat cross legged in »L«e midst of a <tinUy«ircle com posed erf a large number of wioea.

It was this that cansed us some years ago to avoid the limited-time sales, and inaugurate the Semi-annual Clearance Sale system, Instead of keep ing unseasonable goods in regular stock, we make prices so low that they will attract attention—tbat they may move quickly. True, we could get rid of them by another method-the special h(ur arrange ment-but you all know what that means. A surging mass of humanity posMflg and jostling each other in their pardonable eagerness to secure bargains. We are anxious that all our friends should have a chance, and our opinion is that many, very many, of them are averse to this tumultuous and vigorous style of trading, and conseqjently they do not participate in the advantages. MT The Clearance Sale plan remedies this evil. It places everybody on an equal footing. It is oor aim never to advertise a line of goods that is insufficient in quantity to iast several days. Patrons can thus snit themselves as to their coming and going, Jast as likely to secure choice patterns or styles one honr of the day as another, and above all no discomfort or dissatisfiction connected with your trading.
