San rranoiscs j Journalism,

There are two ways OF lighting q
man-one fair, one not. The
papers of San Francisco appear to
prefer the latter method in their
battle against Kearney. To read
their accounts of the Coll Deane
meeting at Union Hall, the reader
would be led to believe that the
agItator deserved little less than a
good dose OF tar and feathers for
his unwarranted interference with
the right Of free speech. Yet, when
his case came up for trial, jury of
his fellow citizens, after hearing
all the testimony, found him not
guilty in about ten minutes.
Again, before the Police Commits
sioners, who had assembled to hear
Kearney's charges against Capt.
Short, reporter Of San Francis
co morning paper, swore that the
agitator never said at his Hibernia
Hall meeting that he would go to
Union Hall and break up the meet.
ing, but that he (the scribe) had
been ordered by the proprietors to
write it down so in his report, and
he obeyed instructions. Comment
Is unn nnecessary.--Soc. Bee.

Commenting upon the advice
given by Don Mateo Keller,to plant
Mission vines, the San Francisco
Alta says:
No grape-grower near the middle
Of the State wants the Mission
grape, which, however, does much
better, relatively, on the Southern
coast; but, still, we doubt the pol
Icy of planting new vineyards even
there with it. Even for port or
brandy, some European grape with
more acid and more bouquet, such
as the Zinfandel and Malvoisie,
which are In demand at Anaheim,
Is preferable; and 1t Is great mis-
take to suppose that light wine
cannot be made on the southern
coast.
