Riverside Water supply.

The people Of Riverside are thought
fully moving in the matter of penna-
nent and economical water supply. At
present not half the water that is cap
tured from the Santa Ana river in the
Riverside bitches is utilized for irriga-
ton. 1t is either lost by seepage or
evaporation. This fact has become so
pronounced and expensive that the peo-
pie are moving in the matter, and are
disposed to take some measures to save
the fine water supply which they have
and to store II for futvre distribution
At least half the present water supply Of
Riverside is wasted.
To remedy this frightful waste the
citizens OF that place have opened a cor
respondence with Mr. Fred Eaton, the
Superintendent Of the City Water Com.
pany Of Los Angeles, and he has gone to
Riverside to devise some plan Of water
development. 1t is probable that they
will adopt the system Of reservoirs, with
pipes for distributing to the various set
tiers, The report Of Mr.. Eaton ia looked
for with great anxiety by the people Of
that thriving place.

southern California Grapes.


The December number of the Pacific
Coast has this pleasant mention Of the
grape interest of Southern California.
Most interesting of all South Califor-
MAS outdoor industries is the grape cul-
ture, To speak of grape culture is to
enter upon a subject which needs vol.
ume. Its history. its riches, past aud
prospective, its methods, its beautiful
panorama of pictures, each by itself is
worth study and exhaustive treatment.
Since the days Of Eschol, the vine and
the vineyard have been honorod in the
thoughts and the imaginations of men;
they furnished shapes and designs for
the earliest sacred decorations in tho old
desperation, and suggestions and sym
bols for divine parallels in the new. No
age has been without them, and no coun-
try whose sun was warm enough to
make them thrive. 1t is safe to predict
that so long as the visible frame of the
earth endures, "wine to make glad the
heart Of man" will be made. loved, cele-
brated and sung.
To form some idea OF CALIFORNIA; future
wealth rom the grape culture, it is only
necessary to reflect on the extent Of her
grape-growing country as compared with
that Of France. In France, before the
days Of the phylloxera, 10000 Of the
people were supported entirely by the
grape industry, and the annual average
of the wine crop was 1000, 600, 900 gal
Ions, with value of $500, 100000. The
annual wine yield of California is esti-
mated at about 10000, 1000 gallons
Nearly one-third of this is made in
Southern California, chiefly in Los An
geles county, where the grape culture is
steadily on the increase, 5000, 600 OF
new vines having been set out during
the spring Of 1882.
The vineyards offer more variety to
the eye than the orange orchards. In
Winter, when leatless, they are gro
tesque, their stocky, twisted, hunchback
stems looking like Hindoo idols or de-
formed imrs, no two alike in q square
mile, all weird, fantastic, uncanny
Their first leafing-out does not do away
with this; the imps seem simply to have
put up green umbrellas; but presently
the leaves widen and lap, hiding the un-
couth trunks, and spreading over all the
vineyard beautiful, tender green, with
lights and shades breaking exquisitely in
the hollows and curves OF the great
leaves. From this on, through all the
stages of blossoms and seed-setting, till
the clusters are so big and purple that
they CLEAN out everywhere between the
leaves-sometimes forty-6ve pounds on
single vine, if the vine is irrigated,

Some Of the Florida papers want to know
what that State is going 10 do about il if it is
found that there is no land to give General Cor
don when he completes his railway for which he
obtained a charter from the Florida Legislature
last winter. His charter calls for 1880 acres
per mile, and there is no provision TO the effect
that the State shall give no more land than it
has. There is pretty well grounded suspicion
that the State has no land for General Gordon.
1t is probable that General Gordon will not re-
fuse bonds to an amount equal 10 fair valua-
ton OF the land he was to have.-Sdpdnnah
Ne,cs
As rule, the comments of our very
able contemporary of Georgia on Florida
affairs are as fair as kindly intention can
make them, and as intelligent, perhaps,
as could be expected from any journal
outside Of the State AS to the above,
however, it is no better informed than
some of our State papers which might be,
and ought to be, inasmuch as but recently
We fully posted them upon the subject,
and they had only to refer to an official
document within the reach of any one of
them to find the proof of our statement
if they hesitated to accept it. If they
will refer to the State Constitution as we
cited, they will ascertain that if the Leg
islature had voted unanimously to give
Gen. Gordon bonds in lieu of land-its
action could not have bound the State,
and given Gen. Gordon any recourse
against the State on account Of deficiency.
Its action would have been unconstitu-
tional, and Gen. Gordon could have had
no case with which to enter court Sec
ton {, Article XII, Of the Constitution,
says "The Legislature shall have power
to provide for issuing State bonds bearing
interest for securing the debt of the State,
for the erection of State buildings, and
for the support of State institutions; but
the credit of the State shall not be pledged
or loaned to any individual, company,
corporation or association" Section g:
No tax shall be levied upon persons for
the benefit of any chartered company of
the State, or for paying the interest on
any bonds issued by said chartered com
panies, or by counties or by corporations
for the above mentioned purposes"
We would remark here that it is obvi-
Gus that certain editors who discuss such
matters SO lack information that they get

Kentucky Election.

Proctor Knott has been elected demo
cratic governor of Kentucky, defeating
Morrow, republican candidate, by fifty
thousand majority. How much longer
will republicans persist in going To the
useless expense of campaigns IN South
ern States Just SO long, We suppose. as
the radicals are in power at Washington
to help them with money and promises
of federal offices to their leaders if de-
feated at the polls. With the downfall
OF radical power in the national event Of
1884 the republican party in the Southern
States will fall to pieces, and out of its
ruins will spring tory party of which
the germ now exists in the independent
movement. This will not secure the adj
hesion of the masses Of the republican
party, for when disorganized by the over
throw of their controlling masters they
will instinctively turn for protection to
the new masters who have entered into
possession Of the government power
at Washington-the federal power which
freed us" and to which they have rem
dered such persistent allegiance, rather
than to the republican party. The visi-
bic signs Of this power among them are
federal office holders, and these they will
see TO be democrats, and will know that
the government to which they owe allie
glance is democratic.
