The grape crop, not only of Los
Angeles county, but of the whole
of California, is unprecedehtedly
small this year. In the upper
counties the whole crop has been
bought up at extreme figures. Tile
day will come when the vineyards
of Los Angeles county will be the
principal source of her wealth.
Our vineyards yield seven tons to
the acre, in many cases, quite five
times the yield of the most noted
regions of France and of the Rhine.
ALL we have to do to make the value
of the products of'our vineyards
exceed those of our orange groves,
many times over, is to see to it
that we plant the proper varieties
Of grape, and that some of our
wealthy men, instead of devoting
their money to ursury, shall put it
into providing the facilities for
storing our wines and brandies un.
til age shall have given them
value. tits O shameful thug that,
in its multitudinous class legisla-
tion, the Congress of the United
States has never seen fit to give the
viticultural interests of California
any protection whatever. We were
assured, by Mr.. Landsberger. a
pioneer in the business of making
and handling our own staples, that
the importer of French wines and
brandies can bring them into San
Francisco and move them all over
the continent with no pecuniary
drawbacks; while, on the other
hand, the maker of California
wines and brandies is bound to one
spot, and is precluded from. moving
his wares over the country. This is
painful disability to branch of
American agriculture which
should be fostered, not only in the
Interest of aagmentiDg the sources
of national wealth, but with the
view of providing the American
people with a cheap, wholesome
and pure substitute for the foreign
wines, often spurious. whose high
price has been a grievous tax upon
the consumer.

When Uncle Remus went down

to mail some delayed copies of the
Constitution, the first sight that
caught his eye was an old negro
man, O woman and two children,
sitting in the shade near the door
of Captain Ballard's buggy reposi-
tory. One of the children was
very young, and the quartette was
altogether ragged and forlorn-
looking. The sympathies of Uncle
Remus were Immediately aroused.
He approached the group by
forced marches. and finally unbur-
dened his curiosity:
"Where Is ye m'anderin' unto
pard?"
"The old negro, who seemed to
be rather suspicious, looked at
Uncle Remus coolly, and appeared
to be considering whether he should
make any reply. Finally, how
ever, he stretched himself and
said:
