THE JUICY GRAPE.
A Big Crop in This Vicinity-NoveI Exper

A Big Crop in This Vicinity-SOvel Exper-
ianrr.
Mr.. George busch, proprietor of the
Wheeling Hill vineyards, reports his yield
this season very fair. The same news
reaches us from all the surrounding cOun-
try. Mr.. busch has about ten acres in
grapes, chiefly catawbas, which will net
him 1000 gallons of wine. A singular iea-
ture connected with his vineyards, and
contrary we have heard, to the established
theory, is that the one lying on the west
side of the hill is much more
prosperous than the vineyard on the
east side of the hill; while the grapes
in the former ripen nearly Il week
earlier. lie accounts for ii all on the
ground that the vineyard on the western
slope gets the full benefit of the purer
western breezes which make the vines
more healthy and vigorous. Through pa
tient observation and experiment he has
discovered 4 certain way of Kidding his
vineyards of that pest and marauder, the
robin, which manages about the time the
COncords and Delawares begin to ripen, TO
carry out his long established custom of
Juggling off nine-tenths of the grapes and
leaving the other tenth to the
owner and whatsoever else wants them.
Mr.. Dusch's method of keeping
these winged pirates at bay until the crop
is garnercd is to explode a charge of pow
der contained in an ingeniously contrived
tin funnel and rech2rge it and leave it
thus charged and suspended inside of
another funnel which is attached to some
pole or other elevation near the center of,
say an acre patch of vines. This method
effectually stops their foraging, and he
does not know of anything else that will.
Mr.. busch has had twenty years expert
ence in grape culture In the neighborhoOd
and can give those who are interested
some valuable hints, based on experience.

"Ualf wav Over.

st must be apparent to the bluntest
observer that Mr.. Cleveland has made
decided progress in Democracy since the
beginning of his term. That is not now
half over, and yet from an attitude OF
non-partisanship upon the civil service
he has finally shown himself, in one case
at least, most pronounced partisan, and'
what is more, Democratic partisan.
"But what if this progress should con-
tinue? What if at the expiration OF two
years from now Mr. Cleveland should
have rid himself of all his Mugwump
notions, and have got to be thorough
Democrat, outspoken in defence OF his
partys principles, comprehending and
sympathizing with its ideas, and dear TO
the hearts of its members? That's a
pretty alluring proposition for any states
man. and its attraction is not apt to grow
less upon Mr.. Cleveland. Certainly it
would be vast deal more pleasant for any
candidate to be nominated in national
convention because Of the solid, universal,
and enthusiastic support which his party
admiration would bring to his standard
than to have his cause pleaded merely on
the ground of expediency.'-N T. Sun.

Organized Labor.

The labor candidates game in politics
is being played out, as it ought to be
PLAYED out. 1t has been shrewdly played
by few seekers after office, who have
tried by the magic name of labor-a name
honest and true-to conjure men OF labor
into doing their bidding. But the day OF
such accidents is waning. They were the
offshoots of the solid organization of
labor in the United States an organiza-
ton that has come, and come to stay.
Strikes will not be seen so often again,
but it will not be because monopoliSts
have beaten strikers. Organized labor
has the strength, the certain and continu-
ing strength to secure from parties all its
rights. So long as it confines itself to
this demand it will succeed. If it at
tempts more, to rule all others who hap
pen to be outside of its bounds, it will
fail. But organized labor is sloughing
off its puny Neros and petty Napoleons.

AUDITOR RUFFIN's FIGURES.

Yesterdays Dispatch contains state
ment of the public debt and of the States
expenses, made up by Auditor Ruffin.
He makes the principal of the debt
$50 ,O2O, 5659 81 and he gives the details
that 90 to make up this liability in full.
And how is the result arrived at? He
includes in it S2,242, O436O of Riddle
berger bonds held and owned by the
States sinking fund; $4,000 of same
held and owned by the Board of Public
Works, and $1,179 1928 of same held
and owned by the States literary fund.
Now, it is to be borne in mind that these
are bonds of the State of Virginia which
she has bought and paid for. In other
words, they are her own bonds that she
has, by buying in the market, paid and
extinguished. How can man be said to
owe note when he has paid cash for it
and taken it up? So that these items
must come out Of the Auditors general
balance.
He also includes all of the debt out
standing, over and above the Riddleber-
gers, the consols, the ten-forties, and the
overdue coupons, SAILS 10.35, when by
common consent, this part of the debt is
only to be considered as what it would
be if funded into Riddlebergers, that is,
about $2,35O,OOO.
We are not commencing the opinion
that has forced this debt to be so re-
garded. Our own opinion is that the
State ought to pay her debt according to
her promise, and that she would make
money by it. But these bonds having no
tax-receiyable coupon whereby they can
compel better treatment, have to accept
the fate that public opinion has assigned
to them. We do not commend, but simply
state the fact.
He also adds as part Of the debt what
the creditors, who have funded under the
Riddleberger act, have released the State
from by so funding, to wit $2GO49j3O1.
How the State can be bound for what the
creditors have voluntarily released her
from we are at loss to understand. We
are compelled to use the word "vOlunta-
rily," but it does not accurately describe
the situation. They were really coerced
into releasing her from this sum, but
since she has been released, it is of course
idle to expect any party to advocate heI
assuming it again. We wish it were not
so, but we must accept facts as we find
them.
We see no reason, on this method OF
stating the account, why the auditor did
not include the $1j,OOO,0O0 which Vr.
ginia once owed, but which the creditor,
released her from, agreeing to look tc
West Virginia for it.
He also estimates interest overdue on
unfunded bonds at 81 100000. AS already
seen, the bonds unfunded amount to only
S4,71S,91035 1t is most liberal estimate
to put on the interest overdue upon this
sum, but let it go.
