The FRUIT QUEsTIoN.-A merchant
called upon as yesterday with a state
ment in regard to the fruit trade refer
red to by us the other day. He says the
farmers have themselves chiefly to
blame. They do not bring their pro-
ducts TO market in presentable shape.
California fruits come boxed most care
fully. all placed unifornly, some wrap
ped in paper, and none bad. The
home grown fruit comes all in a heap,
chucked in boxes, good and bad mixed
Unfortunately, and looking nothing
like as well as the fruit from California.
Placed side by side with the imported.
the home grown will not sell 80 wsll,
simply and wholly on account of its
Inferior appearance. The home fruit
ought to be better. and ia better. Ii il
picked ripper. ia fresher, IL handled less
often and less jolted. California
peaches and piuma, picked green and
being nearly week old on arrival, have
no such delightful flavor as our yn.
The dealers here are willing to give local
growers the top price for their products,
but they want good fruit, put mp in at
tractive style. One of the faults deal
ers find with growers is in the uncertain
size OF apple boxes. Oregon apple boxes
are always of tie same size, and con
tain 45 pounds. A Washington box sci
dom contains A. pounds, bu. il invaria-
bly, of short weight. 1t will be of any
irregular shape and inferior make, and
will contain any number of pounds be-
low the standard. A grower offers a
dealer hundred boxes Of apples at a
certain price per box. The dealer buys
blindly, not knowing whether he will
receive 300 pounds, 1900 or how much.
These complaints of the dealers should
be needed by the growers.

When Senator Charles Snmner of
Massachusetts refused to support Gen
sral Grant after his nomination for the
second term, George William Curtis
vigorously criticised and denounced
Senator Summers position and action
In opposing the election of the Republi-
can nominee on personal grounds. He
said in Harper's Weekly: "The whole
election with him (Sumner) turns upon
his man. All the tendencies, logic, ne
cessities, facts, principles of the Repub-
loan party avail nothing with him, be-
cause he does not like the candidate.
The whole moral drift Of the Demo
cratic party does not dlsmay him, be-
cause the candidate Is agreeable To
him." That was in 1872. In 1884 Geo.
VIM. Curtis ia ut the head Of q move
ment instituted for the avowed purpose
Of defeating the Republican nominee
for the Presidency. He finds no fault
with, makes no criticism of the plat
form, portion OF which Is OF his own
construction. His opposition is per
soual, and, as he AYERS. not directed
TO the party, bat to the Nominees. lie
supports Cleveland and Hendricks and
opposes Blaine and Logan because be
prefers the former. In word. 10 use
hia own language agains, Summers
support OF Greeley and opposition TO
Grant, ''the whole moral drift Of the
Democratic party does not dismay him
because the candidate Is agreeable TO
him." The public who have interest in
this matter will very naturally inquire
when and Why did Mr.. Curtis thus
change his views of political conduct.
Was he correct then or now?
