Mayor Havemeyer q Failure.

From the Utica Herald-republicanl
But II Mayor Havemeyer shall find security be-
hind legal technicality, as he hopes TO do, he
will not be saved from the condemnation Of public
opinion. No journal has been found ready to de-
fend him. No friend has cared to raise his voice
in behalf Of an act for which no good motive can
be discovered The term OF Mayor Havemeyer Is
q man who came TO 1t with larger opportunities
for promoting the welfare OF the city and leaving
1t with a lasting and honorable fame. 1t is only
tunities that we can properly estimate the great
ness OF his failure. He ls but another example Of
q man who has only himself to blame for escaping
greatness. Opportunity has done everything for
him. He has done little or nothing for himself.

Winter Meesing OF the Wine Growers.

The fair of the Wine Growers and
Wine and Brandy Manufacturers
Association last September, was poor
ly attended, from the fact that it came
off in the midst of the vintage season,
and the personal presence of most of
the wine makers was needed at home
to superintend the operations of wine
making. In consequence of this fact
it was thought necessary to hold an
other meeting for consultation and
exchange of ideas sometime during
the winter or spring. The time for
that meeting has been fixed for the Sd
of March next, at 3 o'clock p. NJ, at
the Exempt Fireman's Hall, in this
city. AT this meeting, we are inform
ed, will be exhibited samples of wiues
brandies and raisins; that committees
will be appointed to test the relative
merits of the samples presented, and
that the committees will make reports
and the Society will award diplomas
to the makers of the approved samples
Subjects connected with the vine in
terests and all the industries growing
out of it will be discussed; also, such
legislation as may be considered essen
tial will be considered and presented
to the Legislature. The committees of
exhibitors at the last fair will test the
duplicate samples of wines and
brandies then examined and report on
the same. The meeting will be one of
great interest, and every wine maker
in the State should be present. Sac

Among Washington kilograms to
the Alta, is the following: "Caleb
Cushing has intimated that he intends
taking the war path against Senator
Sargent, who was instrumental in de-
feating him for Chief Justice. He has
but little time to open his campaign,
and therefore he must be vigorous as
well as brief.' 1t is perhaps unfortu-
nate that Caleb is to leave for Madrid
so soon. 1t is still more unfortunate
that Caleb does not occupy seat in
the Cabinet, where he could meet the
Senator in his desired appointments.
But under all the disadvantages which
surround the Minister to Madrid it
must be remembered that he has the
ear of the President. Mr. Cushing
was not only defeated for the Supreme
Bench by Sargent, but the President
was placed III an humbled and morti-
fled position by the withdrawal of his
favorite nominee. This was slash at
the Presidents prestige, causing a
wound which cannot be healed by any
number of Sargent's adhesive plasters.
Sargent triumphed, and the President
was vanquished. Will the President
submit, or improve all opportunities
to retaliate? Nous celT0Rs, as old
Richie would say.

EARLY California Papers.

Our San Francisco correspondent
sends some statistics concerning the
pioneer journals in California; The
first paper ever published in Califor-
mia was the "Californian," in Monte
rey, in the fall of 1916, conducted by
Cotton & Semple. 1t was removed to
San Francisco in 1917, and the Cali
fornia Starr was started in the same
city in January, 1917, by E. p. Jones,

The "Alta California; the oldest Pa

These figures show a progressive in
crease in the revenue from spirits
manufactured here, assuming it all to
be spirits. At the rate of 20 cents per
gallon the quantity manufactured for
the current year 1873, would be 2, 400,-
600 gallons against 100000 gallons in
the previous year, and the govern
ment revenue increased $3.50, 900.
These facts on their face show that
there can have been no very extensive

The Great Land Sale.

Senator Maclay's auction sale of San
Fernando property passed off with i'm
mense success. The bidding was spir-
tied and constant throughout the whole
time of the sale. Eight forty-acre
tracts were disposed Of and about one
thousand town lots. The prices real
lied for the tracts varied from ten to
seventy dollars per acre, sales being
made as follows: P. Beaudry, two;
DR.. Griffin, one; Mr.. Peck, one; Judge
Rhodes, one; NJ. Morris, one; V. Ponet,
one; Mr.. Barlow, one. These lots
brought from five to forty dollars
each, making an average of ten or
twelve dollars. The sale was finally
stopped by the direction of the Sen
ator, though the bidding continued
lively up to the last moment. At the
request of many citizens, the sale will
be continued on Tuesday next. 1t is
thought that Tuesdays sale will be
even more successful than that of yes
terday, and that there will be none of
the lots remaining to place on the
market in San Francisco on the Goth,
as originally contemplated. Besides
the regular sale, Senator Maclay yes
terday received a dispatch from Mr..
Mclaughlin, of Santa Cruz, bargain
ing for fifteen thousand acres at ten
dollars per acre, in behalf of San
Francisco company. We congratulate
Mr.. Maclay on the unparalleled sue
cess of his sale. 1t has never before
been equaled by any public sale of
real estate in Southern California.
