the Republican stand opposite the Court

swans-otherwise the candidates for county
offices of the Republican party. There was
a good deal of trouble in getting any light

The hotels, boarding and lodging houses
of Los Angeles are filled to overfowing, and
yet there comes telegram from one of the
most a tive excursion agents saying that
16, 900 excursionists are already booked for
Southern California, and that Los Angeles
may reasonably expect visit from no less
THAI $1,000 during the winter. If this
should prove true, there is little danger of
getting too many buildings in order for the
requirements of this great influx OF popu-
lation, and the so.cal,ed boom OF this end
of the State is only in its infancy.

HIS SHARE OF ALL DEBTS
The Jury Bribers, Cases.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 27.-A jury was
to-day In the case Of Michael
Doane, one of the 'iury bribers, and the
trial commenced. This is the second trial
of Doane. the jury having disagreed in the
first, standing eight for acqulttal and four
for conviction.
District Attor hey Wilson, in opening the
case for the prosecution, made the following
I'VE are about to enter upon the
trial of perhaps one OF the most important
cases that ever occurred in this ci y aud
county. If there is anything that ought to
be kept pure, it is the court OF justice. II
there is anything that appeals to the man
hood of our citizens 1t is the purity OF not
only the Judges who sit upon the bench,
but all the officers OF the court and of all the
juries who try our cases. Unless we have
purity in the courts of justice, a man need
not expect safety either OF person or prop.
erty, or Of life. But want to impress upon
your minds in. the beginning of this
case, how absolutely necessary it is to
have full: fair and impartial in
vestigatioR of each and every case
wherein man is charged with tampering
with the fountain OF justice. 1t is charged
did that. 1t is charged that he did this in a
ease that certainly appeals, II any case
could appeal. to our manhood, widow
aud her children were suing large,
wealthy and influential corporation for
damages sustained by. the death OF their
husband and father. If an attack upon the
integrity OF any juror is a matter OF import
ance to the citizens Of the community or
State. it certainly appeals to our hearts and
manhood much more when the parties in
terested are widow and her children.
Now 1t is charged that the defendant in this
case, who has been man of standing In
this community for many years; 1t Is
charged that he in this important case vii,
to c0erce or affect the Judgment in the case
in manner tending ~ take the bread and
butter out of the mouths of this widow and
her children. l say that If there is any case
which appeals directly to our manhood, ii
there is any case that arouses our indigna-
tion, 1t is case of this character, where not
only the purity OF the courts is attacked
but where the attack is directed against

Fruit in SAN Joaquin.

The San Joaquin Valley Resources for Oc
tober says: The fruit Product OF the San
Joaquin valley counties this year shows
remarkable increase over the last year, but
will be much greater next season and every
year thereafter for very long period, until
fruit prod uction in California reaches its
limit. The planting Of orchard trees and
vines was greater in the seasons OF 1882
and 1856 than any time previous, and
those set out in the former year Will come
into bearing next summer and fall. The in-
crease in the amount of fruit during The
present year is truly wonderful, and is not
confined to the counties OF Fresno and Tu
iare. although they are still the principal
fruit-growing cou1ties. Hereafter It will be
necess airy to make provision for saving the
large amount of fruit grown, by drying,
evanoratine, canning and otherwise. This
is already done in Fresno aud Tulare on a
considerable scale, and next year will wit
ne,s the extension Of facilities for drying
and canning in these counties. aud the
adoption OF the practice in others.

Since the above was written 1t has been

that he was bringing considerable number

iner's FL Paso (Texas) apecial says: A. X.
Cutting, the man of international fame,
who came so near involving two republics
in a bloody war, returned a few weeks
since from New Mexico. II is said that
since his return to this city he has
been engaged in concocting scheme
to organize an army of 10000 men
to invade Mexico for the purpose OF con-

Is sending out printed circular furthering
this fillibusterng scheme, and giving all
details of its proposed execution. The i'll

OF the masses of the Mexican people, and
particularly that of the Catholic church.
An evening paper says the details OF the
scheme have been fully known to 1t for sew

JOHN SHERMAN.
He Speaks to Philadelphta,o
Young Repub licans.

PHILADELPHIA October Ex-senator John
Sherman addressed large audience at the
Academy Of Music to night, under the au-
spices of the Young Republican Club. He
said: There are at this moment two great
controlling facts in American politics. One
is the imminent danger that threatens the
overthrow of the economic and industrial
policy built up by the Republican party,
which, as has been shown, has doubled the
wealth of our country within twenty
years, and trebled its productions; and the
second, the complete success OF what Is
known as the Mississippi plan, by which
moro than
ONE MILLION Loyal VOTERS
OF this country have been deprived of all
the tights conferred upon them by the Con
stitution and law, especially the right to
vote. After referring to the necessity on Ac-
count of the war, which led Congress to tax
everything, Sherman said: but after the
war this system of internal taxes gradually
disappeared. One by one they wererepeaied
by the Republican party, so that under the
policy of that party to-day there Is no tax
levied by the United States OF America on
any article made in this country. on any
property existing in this country, on any mat
living in the country, for there is no inter
nal tax except upon whisky, tobacco and
beer, and whenever there is a public de-
mand and public necessity for reducn&
those taxes, l am willing to join nay Demo-
cratic friends in relieving them.
After devoting some time to the discus
sion of the merits of she protective policy,
Sherman concluded as follows:
So wonderful has been the effect OF the
application of these simple rules that ont OF
$3.50 900 900 Of imported goods but three
or four hundred millions are articles that
could be produced in this country. for
which they have raw material. and on those
articles there is protective tariff levied
varying from 65 to 70 per cent Most OF
them are articles which we are not yet pre-
pared to make, but the time Is not far dis
tant when we will manufacture under the
protection of judicious tariff every article
necessary to hupian life.
