GEN. Vandever.

EDITOR DEMocRAr:-At meeting in
Union Hall Tuesday night General
vandever, Republican candidate for
Congress. took occasion to assail mo
very uniustly, saying had been slan-
dering him, and in reply ! will say
that at no time or place have made a
single disparaging remark against him,
more than what appeared in the Ven
tura Signal, a Republican paper,
edited by the late H. G. Mclean. dated
January 9th, 1886, which was follows
to wit:
"Some kind of prayer meeting was
held down in Chinatown on Wednesday
night. Some real good ladies aud gem
tlemen took part in the praying and
singing, and Chinaman delivered an
address commencing, "Kow chi sou a-a
som p.a.a.n," OR something like that
He may have beeu poking fun at the
whole crowd, for all that they knew.
Those taking part as We get the list
were: Mrs. -, Mr.. -, Mr.. and
Mrs. -, General Vandever, Mr.. and
Miss -, Miss -, Mr.. -, Rev.
-. Others were present. but from
curiosity. Next time, we learn, there
is to be an open organ accompaniment.
A missionary, sent by some eastern So
ciety or other is the chief mover. The
church seems mixed on this question.
Some Of the good people have this mat
ter in hand, while shining light in the
Methodist pulpit is Chairman of anti
Chinese meetings. Gen. Vandever
also was speaker at the same meeting

leave the whole matter with him and
if he is the honorable gentleman he
claims to be it is due that he set me
right. Yours, ETC.,

California products. appears to be that
which comes through the larger pur.
chases than those of the merchants Of
Omaha, Sioux City, Memphis and other
smaller cities. If discrimination in
freight rates of the nature sought by
the movement is right, and in the line
of good policy for this coast, why shonld
the same rule not apply also to our
outgoing overland freight? To our
mind the movement is ill-advised and
contrary to good policy. 1t certainly
implies rank injustice to large interests
throughout the interior of the State.
We cannot believe that the railroad
company will consider the matter favor
ably for O moment, for the men who
control this company have too large an
interest in building up the State as
whole, to be beguiled into any plan that
will eventually result in injury to the
general public.-S. +. Grocer and Coun-

New methods of imposing upon the
trade are continually being discovered.
Facticious strength are given to some
things by the addition of strong acid;
low grades are being mixed with high
grades, and limitations of popular names
are very common. The late new dodge
is in the coffee trade. Every buyer likes
to have a glossy bean, but Of course as
the beans grow old part of this glossi-
ness disappears, and the purchaser can
tell that what is shown him has been
gathered for long time. Modern inge-
nuity cannot thus be put at fault The
coffee beans of an old stock are placed in
a revolving cylinder with few drops of
cotton-seed oil, and the cylinder is then
set in motion. The small quantity of
oil thus introduced restores the coffee
to its original appearance, and the manip-
ulator can sell his consignment for a
cent more pound than he did the day
before. The fraud can be detected by
putting number of the beans into a'cof-
fee cup and filling it with water. In a
few minutes there will be film Of oil on
the surface.

TIE WHEAT CROP!
A Summary Of Its Condition
Throughout the West.
The Outlook Considered Favorable
in Most Sections.

The following crop summary appears in the
last Chicago Farmers Reuieu: The
returns from the winter fields ara almost
uniformly good. They present an outlook
very nearly as favorable as those sent in ear.
ly in 1885, when the prospect was exception
ally good for large yield. The snow has en-
tirely disappeared from the fields, enabling
a very clear understanding as to the condi-
tion Of the plant, and from nearly every
county in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky and Kansas it is re-
ported as looking strong and healthy. The
utter disappearance of the snow covering
is the only serious menace now threat
ening the growing grain, and with
another general fall of snow the outlook could
hardly be better than is presented in the re-
season of severe cold weather, with the fields
still unprotected would, undoubtedly, cause
damage which might completely change the
tenor of the reports.
The latest reports from California, Oregon
and Washington Territory are generally
more favorable than at the same time last
year. Out of twenty counties of Kansas
eighteen report the crop in good condition,
while unfavorable returns are made
from UCCa"d anu WyduuOGIo COuuCleS,
where the plant shows injury from freezing
while unprotected. With the exception Of
Howard and Hendricks counties, in Indiana,
the outlook is reported to he very favorable.
The reports from Ohio are uniformly favor
able. In Southern Illinois two counties report
poor outlook, but the remaining counties
make very good showing. From Central
Illinois the returns are uniformly good. The
returns from Kentucky and Missouri are gen.
orally of a glowing character, and in the
former State the outlook is considered brighter
fora good crop than before in many years.
The Michigan reports do not indicate any
larger yield than last year, but the reports
are generally favorable. In Tennessee the
reports indicate an average outlook. While
it is not yet possible to give anything like
positive data the average in all the States.
with the possible exception Of Michigan, will
show falling off as compared with last
year.
The exports indicate that the stocks of old
wheat in Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Illinois are pretty well
exhausted, while considerable wheat is still
held in farmers hands in Minnesota, Iowa
and Michigan.

A MADMAN'S ACT.

Firing a Pistol in the French
Chamber Of Deputies.
In the French chamber Of deputies, at
Versailles, the other afternoon, a strange
man in one of the galleries arose excitedly,
drew a revolver and fired it twice and then
coolly threw letter toward NJ. Clemenceau.
The man was seized and hurried out by the
police. A fattened bullet was found
at the feet of the president OF the
chamber The excitement caused by the
shooting lasted for a long time, and affected
the deputies as much as it did the occupants
of the galleries Investigation showed that
both bullets were fired into the air, and not
at any person on the floor occupied by the
deputies.
The letter which the. prisoner, cast at M.
Clcnlenceau was found and delivered into
the custody of M. Floquet, president OF the
chamb,r. When the prisoner was first seized
he exclaimed:
knows what it means This, Of course. was
not understood by those who heard it and it
added to the general CONSERVATION. He said
that he was a soldier who had been so ILL.,
treated by his superiors and ignored
by his brother officers OF justice that ne re-
sorted to the desperate expedient OF creating
the sensation in the chamber Of deputies in
order to secure attention to his grievances.
He added that in no other way so well as that
he had chosen could he attract attention to
himself and to what he desired to toll the
public. He wished, he declared, to have at
tention drawn to his trial, because at it he
would add much to the information now
possessed by the French people
about the surrender of Metz and the presence
of German spies in the French army. He as.
serted that the letter which be threw toward
M. C.emenceau conta ined an offer to give the
government the names of the betrayers of
Metz. The culprits name is given as Peron,
n;er. He is undoubtedly insane. He served
in the French army in the Fran co-German
War.
