WON'T SAVE HIM.

Dorsey's desperate clutch ut Garfield
TO keep himself from falling int the
penitenuary will not save him. The
New York Post remarks:
1t appears that Garfield, after the cleo
ton, invited Dorsey's opinion and al
vice with regard to the manner in which
his administration should he organized;
but il Is historical fact that, while Gar
Geld invited and received DorseY's ad-
vice, he failed To do the things Dorsey
most earnestly urged him to do, and he
did the things Dorsey most vehemently
protested against. The statement that
Garfield offered To Dorsey the secretary
ship of the interior SD far rests upon Mr..
Dorsey's own assertion, and we see good
reason to disbelieve il until it Is sup
ported by documentary evidence or 9th
er indisputable testimony. A point of
striking interest in Mr.. Dorsey's CORES
pondence with Gen. Garfield is the ex-
tremely poor opinion Mr.. Dorsey enter
tanned of Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, and of
independent Republicans and reiOrmers
generally. There is no meanness and
villainly he did not think them capable
of. The excessive virulenee of his lam
guage with regard to Mr.. MacVeagh
seems almost to indicate very gloomy
forebodings on his part as TO what might
be in store for him in case Mr.. McVeagh
should occupy a seat in President Gar
fields cabinet. In that respect he was
not disappointed. His remark in one
of his letters TO Garfield that he
would much rather see q repre-
sentative Democrat than an indie
| pendent Republican in Re-
publican cabinet is thoroughly char
acteristic of The machine politician, and
far more than the common enemy he
hates and fears men IN the ranks OF his
own party who are hostile to machine
methods. With Democrat who is Q
thorough partisan. q Republican ma
chine man may strike hands. He can
come to an understanding with him. He
has sympathies, views and objects in
common with him. He can cooperate
with an anti-machine man never. Dor
sey's wish to have good Democratic
partisan in GArfield's cabinet in prefer
ence TO an anti-machIne Republican il
therefore perfectly logical and intelii

The fact that the Mexican congress
has authorized the president 10 grant
permission for the establishment of
banks drought the country will prove
of great benefit to the Americans who
are flocking into Mexico. Hitherto
there have been few banks out
side of the larger cities; only one
in the stale of chihuahua, and
none in Sonora. Banking business has
been carried on principally by the great
trading houses which are scattered
through the country. This substitute,
however, has abOunded in limitations
and Inconvenience, and the general es-
adjustment of banks will meet long
felt want and assist materially in the
transaction of business. But the exact
meaning of this authorization does not
appear from the context of the dispatch,
unless it be taken as applying only TO
national banks. State banks are already
gradually increasing in number, though
more are needed, and one of the annoy
ances of Mexican travel Is the refusal 10
receive the bills of one state bank into
another state. However, time and the
influence of the American will undOubt-
edly place a national currency in gener-
al circulation as well as afford the need
ed banking facilities.

A California correspondent eft TIA,
New York Tribune, furnishes the FOL
lowing interesting farming intelligence
from that state:
Time was when grapes were almost
unstable If remote from the large
cities in the stale. and the uDpal table
Mission grape was the leading variety
Now there IL AN eager demand Tor the
product OF all the vineyards, and shrewd
ranchmen are planting many thousand
acres in the foot hills with choice i'm
ported varieties which have been proved
to grow well and bear abundantly On
certain soils. The wine manufacturers
declare that they are unable TO fill their
orders from the east, and several of the
largest firms offer TO make contracts
with vineyard-ownerS Tor ten years at
the present rates. AS The ruling price
is $50 ton for ordinary grapes, it will
be seen that there is bright outlook tor
the man who has fifty acres in vines.
The demand tor grapes and ali kinds
of fruit has led Ia Il boom" in farming
lands. In spite of the large railroad
land grants in this state there Is much
| land, remote from market, which still
awaits the settler at government rates.
| But the land that is being bought now
| Is railroad land, convenient to lhe mar
krt, and adapted To fruit growing. The
price paid would astonish those who
lnok on this rs newly settled state. At
Vacavillc, in the heart of the fertile So
lanO county. last week there was sale
at auction of several thousand acres of
unimproved land. 1t WAS near the town,
and was choice fruit land. Five years
ago il would have brought $50 an acre,
Now it sold for prices ranging from $50
to $3.50 an acre, the average being about
| 500. To those who come out here with
the expectation of getting rancho for a
| few hundred dollars, these seem exOrbi-
tAnt prices. In fact, there is no more
common error than to suppose that land
is cheap in California. 1t is almost as
dear as in the oldest settled parts of New
York or Ohio, because its money-prO,
duclng power has been demonstrated.

Topeka Capital: AS 'the smoke OF
battle clears away" we observe, Mr..
Click does not have so much TO say
about his election not having any party
Significance. In a recent letter TO the
New York Mail and Express, for in
stance. he says: an regard TO the tu-
ture politics OF Kansas. it may be con-
fidently asserted that from this date this
will be a debateable state" The wish
is father to the thought with Mr.. Click.
OF course. but il is quite evident that he
proposes to utilize his victory As far as
possible strictly for the advancement ol
the Democratic party and the encouF-
agemenfsof Republican dissensions. We
do not blame him for that, either, for the
