This is a year of kiclzers and scratch
ers. George William Curtis and few
other sore-heads set the example. and
men of both parties down to the hum
blest voter have followed suit by an
nouncing their intention to scratch the
ticket of their party all over until they
get it to suit themselves Now it is the
unquestioned privilege of every voter
(north of Mason and Dixon's line) to
cast his vote for whatever candidate he
may choose; but is it either polite, pa
triotic or right in principle to bolt the reg
ular nominations of the party to which
one processes to belong, merely to graft
fy some personal prejudice or prefer
ence? 1t is impolitic because in most
cases it destroys a mans political influ-
ence in any party, placing him in the
light of an Inconsistent and vacillatino
person upon whom no dependence can
be placed; and because in nine eases
out of ten he loses his vote. either sub
shutting no name at all for the one
erased or one which has not the slie ht-
est chance of election. 1t is unpatriot-
ic because it is not in accordance with
the fundamental principles of our Gov
eminent. Ours is essentially II repre-
sentative government. We send our
delegates into convention, and their ac-
ton usually represents the will of the
majority of the voters who elect them.
1t is impossible to satisfy every man in
the party. But when the nomination is
fairly made it is the duty OF the patrl-
otto voter to subordinate his own pri-
vate preference to the decision of the
majority of his party unless some prin-
ciple deeper than personal dislike is in
VOWED. Moreover done on a large
scale, it would be subyersive of all or
gained and concentrated political eff
fort, and of all method and order in
elections 1t is wong in principle be-
cause it puts self first and not the good
of the party and thus of the country
Wendell Phillips said, Parties are not
made; they grow" They grow out of
the needs and convictions of the people
They represent principles and it is sell
dom one cuts loose from his party with
out at the same time cutting loose from
his principles, OF showing that he has
none. Consider he matter carefully,
voter, before you scratch the ticket of
your party, and base your decision up
on no narrow prejudice, but upon pa
triotic regard for the best interests of
your county, state and country.

How California Wine is Made.

We do not know of any places in tho
state where the few aborigines still to
be found on the coast ever come near
winemaking establishment Their Ia
Dor is not Of the kind desired. A class
of native Californians are sometimes
employed in wincmaking, though not
in large numbers. Cinnamon are con-
siderably used, both in gathering
grapes and i'll making wine, though
they do little more than feed tho stem
mers and assist in placing the crushed
grapes in the presses. California vine
is made universally in this state by
very simple process, and with very few
exceptions by the aid of patent ma
chinery. The grapes arc first passed
through n stemmcr. which removes the
stems and breaks the skins. They are
then put into a press and hydraulic
power is applied till the juice is all out.
To stamp out the juice as is done in
Italy, Spain, and some parts of France
would be, with all the labor-saying
machinery employed, a slow, expen-
siye. and absurd process. Few makers
are 50 poor that they can not afford Il
press Most owners of vineyards sell
their grapes 10 the large wineries
which have the requisite appliances for
the pressing and fermentation. BY
them it is sold directly TO the city mer-
chants or 10 the makers of finer brands
in the city. who blend and export il.
Perhaps there is now and then a small
vineyardist in the hills who raises u
few hundred pounds Of grapes and
makpG n little winp for his own uso
This man may be n native Californian
or he may be an Italian and his wine
making process may be very primitive.
1t is possible he may stamp all the
grape Juice from the force of early
habit, but wine so made is invariably
consumed by the maker. II has no
market value whatever. - San Francis
co Chronicle.
