Why Not TrOJ Him One Heat Now?

Col. Ingersoll says he would have given Nj oses better commandments than those the great Hebrew receiv- ed on Mount Sinai. Well, now, it isn't too late to sail in and beat Moses record as a law w-giver. The Colonel can make his entree and start in any time he wants to. He has told us SO often what he would have done if he had been there, people are beginning to feel a little curious now that he is here. This is a good place and good time to start. A man of Moses ability as leader and soldier and a law.giv- CT could not fail to make marked impression on the world even in these busy days of gallOp and gulp. Any one of us could have done a great deal better than Moses at the palace of Pharaoh, at the Red Sea, at Mount Sinai, at Meribae, in all the wilicrness-in our minds; but we weren't there, and now all that we can do is to beat the record now. And with all our superior advan- tages that ought to be a very sim pie thing,and we would all be great ly pleased to see Col. Ingersoll do it. He says he could have done it over 5000 years ago, and he must be much wiser and better equipped by this time. Moses has done his best and gone off the track. Every thing is clear for the other contest ant. We are all waiting. Time Robert! -Burdette.

California Fruits in the Eest.

New YORK, December 10th-A. M.-The
Tribune, i'll an editorial on California fruits.
says; " The organization OF California fruit
growers is of recent date. but has already
removed some grave obstacles to COM
merce. The California theory of the extent
OF the Eastern market requires important
modification The fact is that but for the
blind greed of the middlemen this market
would be supplied copiously from neigh
boring sources. The rapacity of deal
ers, not content with reasonable
profits, has practically killed the
popular demand for fruit. Should Cali
fornia competition, operating through an
exchange controlled by the fruit-growers
of that, compel local dealers to lower their
rates of commission, the result would be
not to give market to the Pacific coast,
but to demonstrate the abundance and ex-
cellenee of home produce. California can
beat Sicily in oranges, and may some
day compete on equal terms with
Florida. 1t will not do for the
California fruit-growers to place too
much faith III the immutability of the
Eastern market, and all hopes of control
ling this market for pears, grapes and small
fruits are simply illusory. California
fruit-growers have great future before
them, perhaps, but they must understand
thoroughly that before they can control
our markets they must conquer them, and
that victory in all such enterprises is
simply question of the survival Of the
fittest

took an active part in all the duties of the
office, and served on many committees. In
all matters where aid for the church was
asked he was extremely liberal. A great deal
OF his money went into the contribution
plate, which, in his capacity as vestryman,
he was often called upon to pass around.
He had no morbid fear of death His atti-
tude was one of calm hope, although for
some time he lived in the knowledge that
he might die at any moment"
