the firm will be left in debt after all
their property is gone, and that some
of the bank assets will not be collect
ed. We know that if the estate goes
into insolvency, the creditors will re-
ceive an equal percentage of their
claims; that the business will be set
tied up promptly; that the bankers
will be relieved from further trouble
or liability, and that some people will
be compelled to pay what they owe
the bank, who hope to avoid payment
if the business Is left in the hands of
the assignees. These are the HER
AIDS reasons for urging the settle
ment of the estate. If the Express
can show that they are not sound, all
right, but it must confine itself to
facts; falsehood will not serve 1t in
this case.

Our Cotemporary Misstates.

So anxious is the Express to preve mt
the settlement of the affairs of TEN
PIE & WORKMAN in the bankruptcy
court, and thereby avoid the payment
of what it owes the estate, that it does
not hesitate to utter downright false
hood. In its last evenings issue it
says that on being notified that the
rent of the HERALD office would be
increased to SIPS per month, the man.
ager Of the HERALD asserted that he
would fight the assignees and throw
the estate into bankruptcy. This, in
plain Saxon, is lie, and the author
must have known it to be such when
he wrote it. Messrs. BICKNELL &
RoTHCHILDs will sustain us in the
statement that the conversation rela-
tive to settling the estate in the bank
ruptcy court, took place before any
thing was said relative to the increas-
ed rent Of the HERALD office. When
the subject was broached the manager
said the rent could not be raised be-
cause it was fixed by contract with
Mr.. TEMPLE. The HERALD believes
that if the estate is settled by the as
signee process, that the depositors and
small creditors will get nothing or
next to nothing that it will take two
or more years to settle the estate +; that
the cost will be great deal heavier
than if the estate is thrown into bank
ruptcy that the large creditors will
get more than their proportion that

Grape and Wine Business.

We find the following on the grape
and wine business in the Commercial
Reporter
Owing to low prices and a short crop
the past has not ueen good year for
vine-growers. The unusually late and
! severe frost of April 10th destroyed a
large number of young vines and con-
siderably reduced the crop; and the
small amount of wine and brandy
manufactured on account of the clos
| ing OF some of the largest stills by the
Government, placed the demand for
grapes considerably lower tha n had
been anticipated, though the small
er manufacturers probably exceeded
their usual quantity, and the price fell
proportiOnately. During the coming
year, however, neither of these causes
will operate, and we may reasonably
expect a season OF unusual success for
the wine trade. 1t is believed that con-
siderable impetus will be given to
this industry by E. ]. Baldwin, who
has stated his intention of planting
hundred acres in vines. The number
OF people who on account of their
destroyed their vines using their land
for other purposes, and the interest
created by the Centennial and increas.
ing fame of the California wines,
will materially increase the de-
mand for and also the price of grapes.
These wines are already finding their
way into foreign markets, and in this
they will be much assisted by the op-
! portunties afforded at the Centennial
fer foreign buyers to test their quality
and extensive preparations are being
made with view to this end. Among
others, Don Mateo Keller has already
sent TO Philadelphia forty thousand
gallons, and intends to send sixty
thousand more, forming total of one
hundred thousand gallons of wine
made by himself, most of which Is
from grapes raised upon his own vine
yards in Los Angeles. The standard
quality Of California wines is gradual
ly becoming higher, and they are
looked upon with more favor every
year. The original manufacturers in
this State made chiefly for their own
use and without any regard for the
market, consequently they obtained
very fine article. They were however
succeeded by class ofmen who made
wine solely for the profit to be obtain
ed, and who threw a quantity of
low-class wines upon the mar
ket, thus giving the California
article really undeservedly
bad reputation, but time and expert
ence are gradually overcoming these
obstacles to the trade, and our wines
are assuming higher standard, con-
tanning less alcohol, and the growers
are unlearning much taught them in

other countries, and learn what is re-
quired to produce really first-class
brands. So that in few years, with
ordinary care, California will be able
to compete successfully with any
country in her wines and brandies.
Hitherto the Mission grape in Los
Angeles county has been free from
he ravages of the phylloxera, which
.,s had such deadly effect upon the
vines of many portions of the State,
no ,hly in Ssnoma county, and pro-
p irtor' of vineyards should refuse to
entertain any proposal for grating
or planting vines from the districts
known to be infected. We would al
so caution our readers against prun-
ing too early. That operation should
never be attempted before the end Of
February or the beginning Of March.
Too early pruning undoubtedly had
much to do with the short crop last
season.

Merced Theatre.

Piper's Opera House Company had
fine reception at Merced Theatre last
night. The high reputation of the
Company which had proceeded them,
and the thrilling interest of the play
on the boards, resulted in crowding
the house from orchestra to gallery.
"Under the Gaslight," modern SEN
sational drama, was presented for the
first time, we think, in Los Angeles
with the following cast:
Snorky "........................Mr, j. b. Ashton
Peacn BLOSSOM Llttle DOR ltt

Oiu Mrs. Ashton
..........".......".-...Mrs Mrs. Mary Watson
Miss Ella Badger labored under the
disadvantage of a severe cold which
she contracted on the road overland,
but she held her part almost without
fault. Mr.. j. B. Ashton as the one
armed soldier, always on hand at the
right time, was a capital character.
He plays with a fidelity to nature
rarely equalled, and develops the full
est possible interest in the part which
he assumes. Little Dorritt as "Peach
Blossom" took the house by storm
with her quaint, precocious ways and
expressions. She received several en-
cores and handsome bouquet thrown
from the audience. The other play
ing was on par with that usually
found in minor characters-ranging
through all the grades of good, bad
and Indifferent. This afternoon at
two o'clock will be presented "Under
the Gas Light for the second
time Matinee prices so cents. To-
night, the sensational drama, "The
Hidden Hand" will be placed upon
the boards. The Theatre has been re.
fitted and renovated throughout and
the character of the performance is
such that it will draw the best people
of our city. We expect to see the nall
filled at both entertainments to-day.
