The present year has been a remarka-
BILE one in the wine trade. We started
in with very short crop OF wine, of q
quality superior to that of the crop of
1884. Though the price paid for last
seasons grapes was approximately
low, the price of ordinary wines increas-
ed by ten cents q gallon a few
months after the vintage. The
market has remained firm at the
advance during this year. The
prospects for the coming season
are a very large crop of grapes, and
almost empty cellars. This is to be re-
gretted because it forces a continuance
Of the sale Of new and unmatured wines
which does no good to the general cause
of the industry. Another damaging
blow has been the cheap freight rates
that ruled for couple Of months. This
has caused the shipment to Eastern
points Of all the refuse of our cellars to-
eether with a small quantity Of good
wine. This refuse will throw
upon the Eastern markets in.
Discriminatory to the general det-
riment of the business. A glance
at the tables of our wine exports for
the first quarter of this year, aud a
comparison with the shipments of last
year for the same period, will show a
mushroom growth which cannot con-
tinue and which must be unhealthy.
Iu the month OF March alone we shipped
east by rail l.370,949 gallons Of wine,
and the total shipments for that month
by sea and rail, almost equalled one
third of the whole export business in
the year 1885. We give in detail the
figures for March to show the abnormal
growth and sources of shipment. Thus:

Early in the fifties great part of Call
ifornia was supposed to be devoted to
everlasting sterility, and it was thought
that the principal occupation of the peo-
pie would always be gold mining. Later
investigation revealed the fact that tn g
so called barren lands were the best
wheat, fruit and vine lands in the
world, but that there was needed
an artificial water supply to keep
them perennially productive. Califor-
mia has had series OF good and bad
years-the bad years resulting from a
failure of crops, caused by lack of irriga-
ton. This year we will have abundant
returns everywhere, because we have
had abundant rains. Without the lat
ter the crops of any moment would have
been confined to the northern counties
of the Sacramento valley and the irri.
gated sections of Tulare, Fresno, Kern,
San Bernardino and Los Angeles.
with complete system of irrigation
the whole of the State would yield mag
niicent crops of all descriptions year
after year, industry would flourish and
business be perennially good. Without
it business in California will never be on
satisfactory basis as compared with
other parts OF the world. With it terri
tories INN sdiately subject to San Fran.
cisco can yield more products to be
handled BY our merchants than all now
handled west of the Mississippi river.
The waters Of the State are the patri.
mony of all the people, and the links of
the riparian chain, by no matter who
forged. must be broken, and forever.
The convention late in session in this
city has all the elements Of strength to
do the work; it has all the people at its
back, and it should have all the merch-
ants, those of San Francisco in particu-
lar. They should at once join hands
with the irrigationists and combine to
destroy the effort now being made to
weave the chain of monopoly round the
people of the State.
The position taken by the convention
is the correct one, and has our hearty
concurrence 1t is that oil the waters of
the State are the property of the people,
to be used for the supply of cities and
towns or purposes of irrigation. as
the case may be, and that the man
agement be carried on by the To-
cal governments of the district. The
only fault to be found is where
they except water already appropriated.
Why except its If it is used for irriga-
tion or other purposes, and has passed
by general consent or BY general neglect
into private hands, the latter should be
compensated fairly, but it should revert
to its natural owners, the whole people.

The prospects for a lively season at
this beautiful seaside resort are very
fiattering indeed, and more SO than up to
the same date last year. Many valuable
improvements have been made during
the past nine months which will tend
much to the accommodation of the pleas
ure-seeking public and add much to the
importance of this place as sea-
side resort, among which are addition
al hotel accommodations, mar
row guage railroad, connecting
with the Wilmington line, upon which
trains run daily; new bath-houses have
been erected, grounds nicely improved,
cottages built, while almost every branch
Of business from the peanut and lemon

and grocery store is represented. Not
withstanding these many improvements,
there are still many disadvantages and

WASHINGTON, June 9.--The War De-

Capt. Pierce held the Indians on the

of getting assistance, what horses they
had were captured and the band escaped
on foot in the mountains. They re-
mounted and Joined the remainder in
Catalina mountains. They were driven
out BY troops under Captain Lee and
followed by Lieutenant Bigelow through
Whitestone, Santa Rita and Patagonia
mountains. Last night Lieut.. Walsh,
of the Fourth Cavalry with thirty-nine
soldiers and Indian scouts, intercepted
the band in the Patagonia mountains

HOW TO MAKE MILLIONS.
The Great scheme of n sc. Louis
Cotton Spectator.


II know how good many millions
can be made in cotton this year. said a
gentleman to his associate gossipers Of
the Southern Hotel yesterday.
Chow is thats inquired several by
ISLANDERS.
why" said be, ''make up pool to
buy lot of cotton options on the next
crop at present prices; then pick up a
few smart men among the Knights OF
Labor, send them down through the
cotton states to organize the negroes.
1t wouldn't take more than a month to
do this under good management.
At a critical time in the growth
of the plant, when 1t needs
the most attention and will die If not
cultivated, order general strike, get all
the negroes to quit work for two weeks
or o month, and what's left of the crop
won't be worth gathering. Cotton
would 90 from nine cents pound to
twelve or fifteen cents a pound before
the end Of the strike"
"Do you think it would be easy to get
the negroes to striker"
"very easy. They are the poorest
paid laborers in the world just now, and
they are beginning to find that out.
They are anxious to quit cotton plant
ing anyhow, because they make barely
a living at it. They are trying to get q
chance to emigrate, and more than o
thousand Of them have already gone to
work on the Panama canal. II the right
time were selected for the strike, and II
the necessary funds were back Of it, it
would be a great success and would
make millions for those who were back
ing 1t"
A gentleman who had listened atten-
lively up to this point suggested that
this scheme would injure the South and
he was therefore opposed to it.
"That's q great mistake" said the
party of the first part. Cotton is the
only thing raised in this country which
England cannot do without. She can do
without our wheat; she can do without
our pork; she can do without our corn,
but she must have our cotton.
And she must pay for our cot
ton ip the inverse ratio of the
crop produced. II the crop now in the
ground should turn out 5000, 900 bales,
she would net pay q dollar more for it
than if it should turn out 5000, 900
bales. In America the chico is between
s, 000, 900 at eight cents and 5000, 900
bales at twelve cents. The negroes in
the South who are cultivating cotton
are working for England and not for
America, and the strike / suggest would
compel England to pay fair wages to
American laborers.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 9.-The IN

existence of large secret organization
of fishermen, composed almost entirely
of southern mackerel catchers, owning
It's vessels, to force the United States to
take action against the Canadians. They
propose to give the government one

themselves. These fishermen have been
adopted into this district Knights OF La
Dor and as soon as the month has ex-
pired, have pledged themselves to drive
away every Canadian vessel carrying
fish to the States from the coast.
This, it is given out, is to be done by
force If necessary. The vessels, II is
asserted, are to carry six Founders. The
Knights of Labor will order the fish
boycotted on land that comes by rail.

Not Petrifaction but saponifica-

Referring to an announcement that at
a recent elimination in western ceme-
terry the body of woman was found
turned to stone, the Louisville Medical
NetOs says: "Petrifaction Of the body
of warm-blooded animal never has
been known, and it is quite safe TO say
never has taken place. The condition
of the body which leads to such a mis-.
conception Is not that of petrifaotion,
but OF saponificatiod." 1t is explained
that heterogeneous tissues give of ammo
mia, and this, attacking the fats in the
body, produces adipooere. hard form
OF soap. The writer. when at the New
Orleans Fair, saw barrel Of pork la.
helled, Found floating in the Missis'
sippi in an advanced state OF petrifac.
tion." Being skeptical to the capacity
of rocks to Goat, he Clipped off piecs
and found that the hog, like human
being under like circumstances. had
merely turned to adipocere.--Medical
