The Orange Crop.

Messrs. A. Giorgiani and VIM. ia
cebs. the latter one of the firm of A.
Lusk & Co., both well known fruit
firms of San Francisco, have made
contracts for about three quarters of
the orange crop of this county. Last
year over 900 900 oranges were ship
ped from Los Angeles, but this year
the oranges for export are estimated
at 4, 900, 900. These two enterprising
firms have contracted for all the Or
anges at Sunny Slope Vineyardt r )ses)
Lake Vineyard (Wilson's), San Nor
ena Vineyard tShorb's) Wolfskill's or
chard, and many of smaller size. The
aggregate value of these contracts will
be over one hundred Thousand dollars,
and these firms have already advanced
considerable sums on the prospective
crop. They report the crop of the
Mission orchards as good yield, but
i'm other groves the crop is light.
Though the number of oranges is less
than last year, the quality will be far
superior msize and flavor to,tlIose. of
last year. Messrs. Giorgiana and ia
cobs have left standing offer of
twenty dollars per thousand for all
oranges delivered at the depot.

and he commenced to express opin-
ions clalmcda as his own, but unlonbt-
edly prepared for him by those shrewd
manipulators who are making the
game for him, on public issues, we be-
gan TO learn something of the mate
rial out of which those contingencies
were to be shaped. The announce
ment that the Cubans would he recog-
nized as belligerents was contingency
number one. This would prove the
openisg wedge to war with Spain,
and thus a large contingency would be
presented. The Des Moines speech,
in which a sectarian war on the school
fund question was promised, showed
where another contingency was TO
come from. The currency issue is
still another contingency. These
three are already prepared and ready
for use, and Others. will be manufac-
tured as the material can be found.
Everything being prepared the Uiron-
icle, the Washington organ of the
President, opens the ball with the am
snouncement that he ewill stand in for
the third term, and that the Republi-
can party will be compelled to take
him as its choice. The cloak is dropped
and the President of the United States
assumes the role of dictator.

THE THIRD TERM.
The Presidents Organ Announces that
the Republicans Must Accept Him.

WASHINGTON, November lSth.-
The Chronicle, an administration or
gan, boldly announces it's support of
Grant for the third term, and says the
Republican party will be compelled to
take him as its choice. 1t then rings
out loud wall over the fact that all
the old rebels are coming into power
in Congress, and that the life of the
Republic is therefore endangered, and
that Grant is the only man who can
save it. 1t says there is no escape
[ from this view of thequestion of elect
ing President, and the masses of the
Republican party, no longer atfrighted
with the absurd cry OF C9sarism, are
now looking to Grant as confidently
as they ever regarded him. The school
question and Catholicism are to
be dwelt on in the annual mes
sage, under the tutelage of Nor
ton. The ideas foreshadowed in
the Chronicle are really based upon
matured plan, prepared by the
President and his intimates. Since
the late Fall elections the prospect of
u third term is admitted by dozens
where there was one before the elec-
tiOn.
Col. Mosby, the original third term
man, is at the head of the organiza-
tion i'm the South formed for the secret
purpose of advocating the Presidents s
reelection. There is also social So
ciety forming in the country, known
as the anti-Catholic organization,
which is pledged to the President
Secret circulars are sent to many men
throughout the country, asking them
to cooperate.
CHICAGO, Nov. l8th.--A Washing
ton special says that the third term
movement is developing rapidly in
official circles. Many leading Repub-
licans say that Grant is the only man
who can save the party, and unless it
is saved, ruin is bound to stalk through
the land. AZ

Yesterdays Runaway.

The dull, heavy tones of the town
chronometer had just announced II

chine shops were likewise telling the
same tale to hungry workmen by
means of their shrill whistles, when a
four-hsrse team took it into their
heads to try their speed down Main

different noises. Their course was

The Particulars of the Chavez Raid.

Iron the San Bernardino Times, lSth.I
To Mr.. Mowray we are indebted for
fuller particulars of the Chavez rob-
berry, to which we alluded in our last
issue:
Mr.. Mowray is running an express
wagon between this place and Pana-
mint, carrying freight and passengers.
1t appears from what Chavez said that
a rumor had reached him that there
was one passenger coming who had
$l5 600 in his possession, and it was
with the design of getting this booty
that lie made the attack Oh Willow
Springs station. 1t was on Friday,
the 5th inst, that Chavez, with his
gang, took the station. They bound
the keeper, Mr.. Riley, and laid i'm wait
for the coming of Mowray. Mr.. M.
was delayed from some cause and did
not make his usual time, and Chavez s
gang kept possession of the station
until Monday. In the meantime Mr..
Ducrow came along with four-horse
team, and they forced him to lay over,
to prevent intelligence reaching Mr..
Mowray. Two foot travellers and
an Indian also came along and
were forced to lay over. From one
of the foot travellers they took $50
and returned him Sc, from the other
they took S45 and returned him SIS OF
the indian they found SIS leaving
him nothing, On Monday they left
the station, taking Mr.. Decrow's hor-
ses, and shortly after mt, Mr.. M wfay
about ten miles south of the station,
whom they commanded to halt and
throw up his hands. He asked them
what they wanted and they told him
hic money. They then told him to
get down from the wagon and went
through him taking from his person
SIPS %. Mr.. Mewray said il was rough
on man to take all he had to which
Chaves replied that he was only bor-
rowing aud would return it when he
got flush. He returned him then 81
% with the remark: 81 guess L will
have to take your team" Mr.. NJ.
said "don't take my horses boys
They're so poor they'll do you no
good" Chaves looked at the horses
and said that was so and rode off in
the direction of Ivanpah. When Mr..
Mowry passed Willow Spring station
he found it abandon I'd. Chavez is
reported as having been very courte-
Gus to Mrs. Riley, paying'her for cook
ing for his gang and treating her with
great consideration.

4 Mistake.

. EDITOR HERALD. In the third col
umn of the inside page of the present
issue of the Nev italy we have This
paragraph:
, The production of semi tropical
fruits is destined to become a staple
business in Southern California. Al
ready 5000 oranges are put on the
market in d single year from Los An
geles county, and the production has
but just tcommenced. f u6ag
One would (not knowing the true
facts) think that our orange culture
had but Just commenced. OF course
the editor meant 100000, and if he
had so stated we do not hesitate to say
he would have underestimated the
number by about taoo million, although
we have short. crops this. gear. The
sole object of this Communication is to
call the attention of our city and

The Game Made.

~ 49, l.a 70
For months past the HERALD has
maintained that GRANT intended to
remainin the Presidential chair an
other term, and for life if it were pos
sible for him to do SO. The idea was
ridiculed by Republican organs and
doubted by Democratic journals. The
fact that the President never would
say pos;tivelythat he was not a can
didate for reelection was sufficient to
raise the suspicion that he was can
didate. When pushed to the wall
he said there might arise contingent
cies which would render the election
of "a President to the third term neces-
sary. twas apparent to all observing
men that he would leave no means
untried to create those contingencies,
