BENZ. Singleton (colored). Of Kansas.
considered thst he had started the exodus
by sending broadcast circulars inviting
immigration to Kansas. He hoped that it
would continue until all the negroes had
left the South and the disposition Of the
Southern people changed. II they would
treat the negroes fairly, then he would ad-
wise the colored people to return to the
South. The South was their proper home.
Singleton gave his testimony In an excited
manner, and the cross examination was
amusing.
California Wines i'm Favor.
BALTMoRE, April 19.-The Sun contains
the following interesting editorial. based
upon the statement received from its San
Francisco correspondent, that a full cargo
Of California wines had been shipped to
Germany California wines are said to be
exported, at present, to Europe in consid-
cradle quantities. Only q short time ago,
the delicate palates Of the European wine
tasters revolted at the earthly flavor, the
deficient bouquet, and the heavy body Of
these wines, and they did not find much
favor at either the Vienna or Paris EXPOSE
tons. The Managing Committees of the
London Clubs, however, have discovered
that California wines are as much better as
they are purer thar the spurious French
compounds with which the London, St.
Petersburg and New York markets are
flooded, and they do not contain near SO
much brandy as either port or sherry. In
consequences Of this, a good many orders
are coming out from London dealers and
Clubs. and several well-stocked wine Gel
lars have been bought out by English
agents. A bark has just sailed for Ger
many. laden to the gunwale, with Califor-
mia wines for the German market, and it
is believed that under French and Ger
man labels a great deal Of California wine
will be sold to European consumers. Bye
and bye. as has been the case with Ameri-
can beef, those consumers will find out
what they are buying, and will prefer pure.
cheap wines, from American vineyards, to
the manufactured stuffs. blended in the
Rhine and Garonne, for people TO drink
who do not know what genuine wine is.
