now besides apples pears peaches and grapes there
Is an abundant production of oranges, lemons,

COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES

from the colony he says that money expended in
taking the pioneers to Arizona will return
hundrcdfold. commerce will spring up,
coin and mineral products from the mines
Will return 10 France, and Ehe Frenchmen, accus.
toned to mis- national habits, Will send for wines
and luxuries which can only be produced there.

POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS
There Is hardly, to my mind, any ground for fear
from any future actions OF such colony. l know
the men and have moved among them. Probably
one-elgnth are not original Communists. Irrespon-
siDle pens, French ickleness and the influence OF
the aggregati0ns Of members made the poor Paris
lans lally around the Commune. Toward the end
they altered their devotion became feeble aud they
as readily deserted 1t as they fought Its service
TINS Is the truth OF the matter Bold, bad men are
among them, but Indian tribes to deal with and four
teen United States military posts will have their innu
ence ana consolidate society, If that sentimental
does not insure their loyalty to the republic. 1.-THE
