CONCERNING PRODUCE PEDpLERs.-we

on m0u0n Oh Aluermau DluHOck, Sity "A
torney Hoover was instructed to draft a
ordinance ~amendatory Of al ordinance no
in force, regulating the sale Of vegetables |
the city by parties raising the same o
ranches within the State. The object oil thi
ordinance is merely to allow ranehmen an
gardeners generally, within inc oofeefs :
this State to dispose of their produce IN thi
city. by peddlinS, or otherwise as they ma,
choose. without the payment OF license
while those bringing produce OF the sam
character from California will be subject {
tho same license restricting as formerly
This subicc, we have heard very ably dis
cusscd in all its bearings, for the last two o
three wears, yet We have seen no definite con
clusion arrived at in the matter, devoid o
objections in some point or other Were W,
to rccklessly disregard the interests Of tn,
vegetable stands and markets, and allow pro
duce peddling free and unrestricted on III,
streets, it would be found a very cheap an'
convenient arrangement generally, but Their,
would be times when no pcddlcrs beinl
about. a vegetable stand would be found yer!
convenient. II would hardly be prudent L
do AWAY with them altogether, in fact
in case this ordinance passes. the regular
stands and markets will continue bushes.
Just as they do now, and all the produce car
be brought in that any ranchman may choose
to pcddlc, it will make no material difference
The dealer has to buy Of the ranchman, anG
therefore cannot afford to sell quite as cheap
and profitable, perhaps, especially il he has
TO pay the only license. The rachman bring
ing in n full load Of turkeys can obviously
sell them cheaper than the dealer, even il he
does have to pay i've dollars a day for the
privilege. Two bits more added to the price
Of each turkey would pay the license. and
not be noticed by the purchaser. Then,
again, the farmer not succeeding in peddling
out his entire load, or no. having time to do
so, finds il very convenient to have a produce
dealer to whom he can dispose Of the balance
of his load: or still better, il the dealer would
purchase the whole load, or combine with
others to do so, there would be no need OF
peddlinc. Most excellent arguments can be
advanced pro and con, in this matter, but
in our OPINION il would suit the wishes
of the vast majority Of our citizens at large,
to have the license on both the ranehman and
the dealer removed, thus allowing Of unre-
s,rictcd trade in the produce Of our own
State, n proper tariff regulating the compete
ton with California produce. 1t would not
cos, an immense sum to try the experiment,
to say the least.

over the Crade-not upsctting, but it went
down gradually hind-end foremost, drawing
the driver and six mules after it. It hap
pcned so Quick that the sleepy Jehu hadn't

were all bundled together, and the driver I'M
