DOMESTIC NEWS.
An Off Day for the Californians.
New York, September Betting
was not allowed by the police at Jerome
Park to-day, and the races were run off
without speculation, except a few private
wagers that were picked up. It's probable
that after Saturday next the meeting may
be discontinued, as, according 10 the politi-
cal situation at present, some of the Police
Commissioners-and hence the police force
are driven, as q matter of self-protection,
to actively oppose even private betting.
Five more bookmakers were arrested to-
day for making small wagers.

seven furhngs, the California interests

California's Advantages.
New York, September 30th-Dr. C. H.
Bradford, of St. Louis, registered at the
Fifth-avenue Hotel. In the course of a con-
versation had with your reporter, he said
" | formerly lived in California. When
left there, year or so ago, L fully intended
to return, but have found st. Louis diff
cult place to get away from. | have trav-
eled pretty much all over the United
States, and my advice to young men of the
East is TO go West. Colorado and Caiifor-
mia offer more inducements to young men

their capital than any other section OF the
country. Every time | come East | am
impressed with the fact that 1t is over
crowded.
Our Fruit in the East.
CHICAGO, September 30th.-A special fruit
train arrived Wednesday from Sacramento
loaded almost wholly with grapes. The
weather is cool and favorable, and the fruit
was mostly in good condition. Tokay
grapes are selling at 50 50@S2 75, some very
choice bringing $50 80 % Muscats, 81 80
"a 81 IS. There are some few Morocco and
Emperor grapes received, which are held at
about the same prices as Tokays, but they
are not in so much favor. The Moroccos
so far have not carried well. Fall pears sell
at 81 256i g 80 per box winter. 81 75@
s.. Ounces bring 81 50@sl 70. Dried
fruits are firm, but prices are unchanged
from previous quotations.
George the Tanmany Candidate.
New York, September 30th.-The Com
mereioI in an editorial says: We ask the
honest workingmen who believe in family
life, in law and freedom and in their own
right to lay by their savings for the benefit
of their wives and children, and consider
u, -. That uerry f.anrc,a is ", Ia srt
the Tammany candidate for Mayor; that
his canvass, by corrupt deal, is intended
to sell out the labor vote to the spectators
and the spoilsmen of Tammany Hall, and
that he or his sponsors have brought hither
to work for him the English Socialist, Ave
ling. who has no possible interest in the
welfare of this city, but is concerned solely
with the promotion of his scheme for turn
ing soclefy upside down, destroying cur
free institutions and overthrowing civiliza-
ton itself. in order that 4" chaos may come
again." We do not believe selfrespecting
workingmen will ever consent to be driven
in harness by such drivers as these.

Strikes and BoycottiDg.
ST. LOUIS, September 30th.-The Knights
of Labor inAhe West, and more pariicu-
larly those in st. Louis, have decided that
strikes like the boycott must 20, and that il
should no longer be recognized as neces-
| sity of the Order. While this important
decision is not publicly announced. yet the
information comes from unquestioned
| authority. The fact is, that some of the
knights consider that this has been one oil
| the greatest obstacles that the Order has
had 10 meet What action in this impor-
tant movement will be had in the Rich
mond Convention is vet uncertain The
St Louis delegates, however, it is under
stood, are instructed in favor of law
which will dispense entirely with the strike
system. Arbitration will hereafter be the
policy of the Western Knights in all cases
of wages and labor that require adjustment.
The ST. Louis Knights may ask the Rich
mond Convention for a committee whose
special duty it will be TO investigate and
settle all difficulties of this character, with
suggestions from Grand Master Powderly.
