CALIFORNIA RAISINS.
Few Figures that will Prove I'm.
tereStfng to Our Renders.


The Pacific Coast says: California is
world and will soon stop imported fruits.
Over 100000 boxes were made in the
State during 1887. The packing season
of 1883 is estimated at over 1900 900
boxes. The season begins about August
Goth, and the process of curing is very
simple. AS soon as the grapes have
ripened, the clusters are cut from the
vine and placed on wooden trays
or boards, where they are left
undisturbed for two weeks to
be dried by the heat of the
sun and the warmth of the earth, then
they are turned and left for another two
weeks when they are sufficiently cured
and ready for the sweating process. At
this point, they are carefully taken from
the boards and placed in boxes of SO
pounds each, and placed in close
building where they will remain for
about two weeks, and are then ready for
packing. In drying, the stems become
brittle, some grapes are too dry, some
not dry enough, but the sweating process
equalizes all this.
The White Muscat, of Alexandria. is
the variety principally used for raisin
purposes. The seedless Sultana is being
planted and is good though small
variety. Planting is done between Janu.
ary and April, cuttings being preferred to
rooted vines. Cuttings are worth $5 per
l 900, rooted vines are 500 per 1000. In
making selection for vineyards, the low
damp lands should be avoided, as the
grapes will not ripen early enough to en-
able them to be dried before the wet
season begins.

THE attitude OF the Republican party
on the temperance question was we'll
illustrated in the Convention of that
party held in this city on last Friday.
One of the delegates in making nom.
ination for Sheriff stabbed another can
didate under the fifth rib by the an.
nouncement: "And the ran 1 am
about to put in nomination is not backed
by the hypocritical Prohibition party
Mr.. Insley, of Santa Ana, is good Re.
publican, but he is also Prohibitionist
and this is the way he was wounded in
the house OF his friends. Yet Republic
cans do not tire of calling upon the Pro
hibition sheep who have strayed from
their fold /; and the burden of their plead
ings is that the Republican party is as
good a temperance organization as any
other. 1t is none of our fight,
but as a question of truth and
of simple justice, it may moi
be amiss to ask where the hypocrisy re
ally is? The Republican National Con
vention in one breath called for free
whisky, and in the next passed the Bou
telle resolution. The party at large a
one moment appeals to the stray Prohi
bition sheep to come back to the fold
and in the next, when some member o
the party with Prohibition proclivities
seeks an Office, some fellow who has g
'lush" to put in nomination, insults his
Cold Water brother by stating that "the
man he is about to name is not backed
by the hypocritical Prohibition party"

Thieves in Linden.

Wednesday night of this week
some person or party got into Ire
loar's hardware store in the village
of Linden, and thence into the
banking Office Of John W. Taylor,
and after drilling a hole in the outer
door of bis safe, using powder and
fuse, succeeded in shattering one of
the two outer doors of same. The
explosion was heard by Mrs. Ire
loar between the hours of two and
three Thursday morning. Either
the fear that they had made a noise
loud enough to alarm those living
near, or the realization that they
had attempted too large a job,
caused them to desist; the safe be-
ing one of the best construction,
with time lock, and four inch steel
aud iron protection facing the money
chest. On this they made not the
slightest attempt
Evidently the same parties then
went TO the barn Of Rev. Merrifeld
and taking his horse and cart struck
out, it is supposed, for a near rail
road station.
The Tuesday night before two
strange men were seen to come ont
of the school house grounds at
about 1880 o'clock, and being hailed
were observed to pass up through
the village and thence out on the
Edmund road. Most likely they
were the same parties as they were
carrying asmall square box, contain

IT is generally known ere thi,
that the Adams express company j:
doing the business in this section
which the United States company
formerly did, but why, is not so vel
known. Here are some points:
"This is the result of war be
tween the companies, the Adams
and American on the one side and
the United States on the other. Sew
eral years ago the United States
the Adams and the American ex
press companies entered into a com
pact, the terms of which were thai
neither one should enter the terri
tory then monopolized by the other
This agreement was rigidly adhered
TO by each company for many years
Sometims ago, however, the United
States bought out the business of
The Baltimore Il Ohio express com,
pany. Now the latter independent
company traversed territory in
which, but for the Baltimore ,S Ohio,
the Adams would have had prac-
tical monopoly. This was the open.
ing gun in the fight. The Adams
people raised protest, but protest
though they might the United States
replied that they were going to hold
on TO their newly acquired property
by this move, you see, the United
States got through route from the
west to the east, something which
they had not before. But to add to
the alleged sins of the recaIcitrant
United States, it a short time ago
bought the express privileges of a
northwestern line, which extended
into the territory occupied by the
American. This raised a regular
hornets nest about its ears, aud the
Adams and the American have
joined hands in the fight against
their only big rival. Already the
Adams has gained control of upward
Of 5000 miles of tereitory IN the
northwest, by which it takes just so
much business from the United
States. When you consider the i'm
mense extent of the express business,
the millions of capital backing it
and the wide-awake character of the
men at the head of the companies,
you can readily perceive that the
fight will be one worth while
