exclusion of Mongol labore-s from
our shores. There is little room to
doubt that such convention will be
entered into by the Chinese Govern
ment. The difficulties in the way Of
such step in the past have all arisen
in this country. The Republican pol
iticians in a cowardly subserviency to
the interests of the millionaire
monopolies who wished to continue
the influx of these cheap toilers, have
raised every barrier heretofore set up
against such exclusion. If such a
treaty as is outlined be sent to the
Senate now, we need not be surprised
to find all the Republican leaders and
the press of that bias, excepting
those of the Pacific coast, raise a Wig
orous opposition to its ratification
1t will be strange if that party does
not defeat any such measure if it can.

THE Ninth State Convention of
Fruit Growers, to be held under the
auspices Of the State Board of Horti-
culture, will convene at Santa Barbara
on Monday, April 9th. All fruit
growers and all interested in fruit
growing are invited to participate.
The programme contemplates fruit
and flower exhibition and an excur-
sion to the head of Ellwood Cafion, to
Beach Bluff and to the Cooper Olive
Oil Works. The Convention will be
in session four days, and it is expected
that many valuable papers on horti-
culture will be contributed and read
by the most prominent horticulturists
of the State. The object of the Con
vention is commendable one and
should receive hearty approval. The
selection of the place to hold the Con-
vention is another question. An ex-
position of any industry looking to its
development should properly be held
in the very heart of productiveness-
in that section where the very best
possible results of the industry have
been attained.

1t is estimated that there are 32, ,675
acres Of bearing orchard and vine
yard in Los Angeles county. To this
may be added $4,000 acres planted in
fruits, but not yet bearing, which
makes grand total Of A ,675 acres in
the county devoted to the fruit indus
try. The acreage planted and bear
ing is horticulturally divided as fol-
lows: Grapes, 1880 acres; oranges,
1880; apples, 1850; lemons, 1000;
peaches, 1,4OO; pears, 75O; figs, 275;
plums and prunes, 250; olives, $50.
This seems to be pretty good show
ing, but this amount snot one-fiftieth
part of the acreage of the county that
can be cultivated in citrus and de
ciduous fruits and the grape.

elected? Will those who shun
Blaine as a political plague, because
he is a spokesman, because they think
he has an itching palm-willt these sup
port Sherman? Will the Mugwumps
flock to the banner of this polar ice-
berg?
Where is Senator Allison? We
hear nothing OF him for the last two
months. He found his Iowa con-
stituents rather inclined to look with
favor on review of the tariff. He
stood on the floor of the Senate and
gave expression to Western views on
this subject. How then put him
before the monopolists who do not
want the tariff touched?
Senator ingalls, wants the nomina-
ton. He departed the other day in
speech in the Senate from the good
sense which has usually guided him,
and made bid for the votes
of a certain element in his
party. In order to do this he ira
duced the memory of the brave soldiers
Of the Union, who were bleeding on
the battlefields. when he was skulking
at home in an Office of profit. Can
Ingalls, be elected on the CORY gar
ment platform? Not this year!
Even Mr.. Conkling has been held
up as one whom the Republican party
can nominate and elect As well
might they try to elect tie leader OF
the Mugwumps, whoever may be the
foremost man among that queer fac
ton of the grand party. Mr.. Conk-
ling, despite all his ability, and all
his many merits, would go into the race
so handicapped by familyfeuds, that his
defeat would be forever memorable.
With this great New Yorker is named
his compatriot, Chauncey M. Depew.
Our friends profess to think that he
could be elected to the head of the
Am erican people by the votes of
American freemen. This arch-enemy
of the people, this tool and apologist
for millionaires, monopolists, trusts
and other devices designed to oppress
the poor-he be chosen President! 1t
is not within the scope of fate!
These are the strongest men in
their party. If these cannot be
elected, who can? The fact
is this: When you get down to the
rank and file OF the Republican
party it contains, in the present year
of grace, very large number of in
thinkers, and the independ-
ent thinker means an independent
voter. The party is greatly divided
on the civil service policy, on the
tariff question, on temperance matters,
on how to deal with monopolies and
trusts. The people do not follow the
leaders in these matters, and this
being so, how are they all to be led to
to travel the same path to the White
House?

THE workman who firmly believes
that high protection is the salvation of
labor, can read between the lines Of
the eighteenth annual report Of the
Massachusetts, Bureau of Labor and
Statistics, just published, that which
is not set forth in any high-tariff man.
ifesto heretofore promulgated by the
Republican, or any other party. The
report shows that the number OF un-
employed wage-earners in the State of
Massachusetts is PAL ,5S9 of which
1855 are males and 62,961 are
females. The past year has been one
of great prosperity in Massachusetts,,
and large dividends have been de-
clared by its mill companies and cor
porations. Yet quarter Of million
of willing workers are idle and unable
to obtain employment. Does the
present high tariff protect labor, with
hui dreds of thousands of idle men
and women in the country who
must have bread at some price ?
The greater the number of un-
employed, the cheaper the labor
and the greater the dividends to cap
italists. Does, then. high protection
protect labor?

"FLYER" trains are the order of the
day. 1t is not to be wondered at that
such means of travel is to be put on
the line between Los Angeles and San
Francisco. This is becoming recog-
nized as one of the greatest centers Of
travel in the Union, and there are
masses of people moving in every
direction daily. The two regular
trains between this city and the coast
metropolis are not to be disturbed by
the new order. In other words, we
are to have three trains daily.

PRESENT facts prove that the season
of 1SS7-S is to 60 on record as the
rainiest in the history of the country
since the earliest days Of the Ameri-
can occupation. The rainfall to date
is 26 inches. That is the amount re-
ported by the gauges in this city. On
the foothills the precipitation has
been much more copious, while in the
higher mountain regions it will run
up to half hundred inches of moist
ure. The mountains are our natural
reservoirs for the storage OF the excess
of rain intended to water the fertile
plains during seasons of drought.
These Titanic masses of matter
are by the last half dozen
years OF heavy rains saturated to re-
pletion to their lowest bases. Two
seasons of absolute drought would not
exhaust the vast supply stored in
these natural reservoirs. But we
have had rain enough. The unusual
number of rainy days to 60 to the
credit of the current season has rem
dered our winter far less agreeable
than the average in this section.
Rain has fallen since last October on
quite twice as many days as any
other year in the past ten will show.

There are sno richer lands in the
Union than those of Louisiana, and
not one-half Of them are occupied.
Her taxable wealth can b doubled in
ten years by judicious encouragement
of immigration, and her taxes reduc-
ed one third, and perhaps one-half.
Why should the unoccupied lands re-
main idle? Those who are afraid
that all the land will be taken UP
and none left for their children do not
deserve prosperity, and it is safe to
say they never have it.-[Havannah

VI OplllO w VdO uIlAlcolOh Vi
Utah to Statehood while the Mormon
hierarchy with polygamy as one of the
most important tenets of the church
of Latter Day Saints in full swing as
the real governing body of that commu-
nifty, will be very general. Petitions
against such a measure are pouring
in from all quarters. The admission
OF Utah would be but the entering of
the small end of a wedge into our
political institutions, whose thick end
might disrupt the whole body polite.
The Mormon missions have already
been planted in Arizona, Montana
and Idaho. The acquisition of State
hood by the original nest Of this vile
heresy would be but the forerunner of
batch of polygamous States.
With ten or twelve Apostles of the
Church in the Senate, and Heaven
knows how many priests of plural
marriages in the Lower House, it
might be possible to pass bill legal
izing polygamy, and doing away with
all pains and penalties now enacted
against bigamy, ,etc. And this is not by
any means merely a religious ques-
ton. 1t is one which goes to the
very root Of all our system of civiliza-
ton. In all ages, good morals, ma
terial progress, sexual purity, the care
and education of the young
have gone hand in hand
with monogamy. 1t is hardly
conceivable that these great ends
could be reached by any code Of laws,
among people where plural mar
riages are practiced. There may be a
good deal of decency of life observed
in Salt Lake at the present day. But
to get the ripe fruits Of polygamy we
must look further than to the homes
of the Latter Day Saints. The people
of Utah were mostly brought up un-
der the influence of mothers who
were the sole wives of one man.
Then they are still surrounded by the
influence of sentiments born and fos-
tered in people of homogeneous hab-
its. Such restraints are powerful. 1t ie
among generations who have been
born ard bred in polygamy, whose
fathers and grandfathers have i'm
bibed the sentiments which naturally
germinate, grow and flourish under
such system, and that under circum.
stances where outside influence does
not continuity tend to leaven the
lump, or at least tend to retard the
process of leavening by the other in.
fiuence, that we must expect to see
the full fruits Of the system,
Turkey would be better guage than
Utah in this effort to m easure the re-
suits of plural marriages; and Egypt
1000 years ago will be nearer
standard than the Turkey Of the pres.
ent time. Egypt was under less in.
fluence from the outside. There the
effect of plural marriages SO debauched
the public mind that brother married
with sister, and son with mother
Such are the direct results to be ex
pected as the ripe fruit of Mormon
ism.

Fighting against the treaty to pre-
vent the Administration from gaining
credit for settling a long-standing and
vexatious difficulty or postponing
action upon it until after the Presi-
Dental election will be such transpar-
emily petty politics that it will injure
those responsible for it without harm
ing the administration itself, whose
record on the subject is already made
and will be fairly judged by the peo-
pie whether the treaty goes presently
into effect or not.-[New York Times,
