While all agree rs tn the necessity.

opinion rs TO the best way to procure

some Of them our very hest men. are
opposed 10 issuing hnnds They are
prjudictd against The bond system and
believe the cuunty. as well as an in
divi,llul, should keep out of debt.
This is goo lnctrine, and will gener
ally hold good, hut sometimes, under
certain circumstances, an individual On
II county may venture to gn in debt,
but not beyond their means and ability
to pay Warren county is in a healthy
financial condition, not 0nl Y as county
but her citizns are generally out "t
debt and prosperous. AT 10 time III
the history of the county we're the,
ever in better condition to build good
roads, or needed them more than ~
present. If an individual, out Of dehl
owning more than two millions of
money aud valuable real estate, were
70 go in debt fifty or sixty thousand
dollars to improve that property with
certainty Of enhancing Its value two
fold more than the expenditure, he
would not he considered as acting un>
wisely, even though he had to borrow
the money to make the Improvement.
1t is even more reasonable tor county
to borrow money than an individual 10
make such important public improve
ments. The people would build the
roads and get pay for it, as the money
would be expended among them and
they receive the profits in common.
The people would not only enjoy the
conveniences and benefits of the roads
when built, but the money expended
would furnish employment for men,
wagons and teams during the building
of the roads. Of course the taxes
would be paid into the treasury mainly
by the largest property holders, and
furnish work for the poorer classes who
make their living by the sweat Of the
brow. This would put into circulation
considerable amount Of money in the
county, mainly by the largest property
owners, they furnishing the greatest
amount of means for the public roads,
to be enjoyed alike by rich and poor.
1t does seem to us that it is splendid
opportunity for the farmers in the
country who need roads so badly over
which to send their surplus products tc
market, to get the assistance Of the
tax payers within the corporate limits
of the town. While all may not he
able to have a pike running directly
by their property, all will be more OF
less benefited in all parts Of the coun
~. There is no other public enter
prise SO much needed, or would be
more useful to all, than good roads.

DR.. H. Mcdonald, Of San Francisco,
and the Prohibition candidate for Cover
nor at the last State election, lately
made . violent onslaught upon the wine
producers Of California, declaring that
none but table and raistn grapes shonld
b. cultivated by our vinsyardists. His
remarks have attracted the attention Of
many Interested In grape culture and
wine making on the eoast. A reporter
Of the Daily Report interviewed Arpad
Hsrasxthy, Of Sonoma county. few
days seo, In order TO get his views upon
the subject. That gentleman furnished
the following figures, which We
are inclined to think will canse Mr.. Nc
Donald to put on his thinking cap, and
give the matter little thought from .
broader and more liberal standpoint:
There are now between 100, 900 and
l3O, 900 acres in California in vines. aud
Of this amount not more than 1000 acres
is planted with the varieties Of grapes
necessary for isin-making. The pro-
ducs OF this 1000 acres, some Of which u
not yet In full bearing. il made into
rsisins, and already difficulty is found i'll
disposing Of the crop. Ten thousand
acres % planted. allowing for the pro-
dnce Of the raisin vinensrds in other
countries, would more than supply the
civilized world with fruit. Therefore,
liz DR.. McDonald's scheme OF raising
nothing but table and raj in grapes were
carried out, about l25, ,0OO acres would
have 70 Be- destroyed. There is now
over go, ,000, 900 invested In this industry
which would be entirely lost should
suoh change be made. But were it
possible, which II 10 not, 10 sell or get
rid Of the p oduct Of the enfirs aes
Of vineyard land, were the proper
sort Of grapes grated on the Was.
| il would take ten cars before the mes
would come into bearing, and would re-
| auirs all the grafters in the world to do
| the work. What then is to become Of
those who make their living off the vine
yards In the meantime! Consider that
there are $1,000 voters who gain their
living directly or indirectly from the
wine trade. These men would be en-
tirely ruined by DR.. McDonald's scheme.
Before rAisins grown here eau compete
with those cured in Spain, the
Doctors ''thousAnds and thous-
ands Of white men and their
| families" must be content TO work for
from thirty to forty cents day, the
wages paid In Malaga. With regard to
his statement about the monopoly oil
wine and brandy makers, t,ere Is no
such thing. Those who make bad wine
and can't sell 1t complain Of the monop
oily Of the dealers, but those who made
good wine have no difficulty in dispos
ing Of 1t to the first buyer who comes
along. But little Of the wine crop viii
