DODdTJLncuL.
CHARLESTON, s. c., July 12-An alarm
" fire, the first In eighty days, was turned
in at 9 o'clock this afternoon. The damage
was Insignificant, but the incident was
interesting because it marked the first fire
that has occurred since the entire fire de-
partment has been housed in the now fire
stations. There are four double stations,
each containing two engines and supplied
with the most improved modern apparatus
for keeping steam in the boilers, etc.
The system was found TO work admira-
bly,. Each engine, as ii dashed up to the
scene, had steam up ready to play. and had
there been a necessity for 1t eight double
streams could have been put on the fire
inside of five ninut es after the first tap OF the
electric gong. This experiment will proba-
bly, infuse new life into the movement
started here some time ago TO secure u re-
duction OF insurance rates.

WASHINGTON, July 12-It is understood
that the democratic campaign this fall
will be practically in the hands Of three
men-Senator German, Calvin S. Brice of
Ohio. and William L. Scott of Pennsylva-
MIA. One of these gentlemen, by preference
of Mr.. Gorman, is to be kept in New York
TO direct things there, but the senator says
it will not be possible for him to take hold
of the matter until congress adjourns. 1t is
therefore probable that either Mr.. Brice Of
Ohio, or State Senator Murphy Of New
York will assume charge there until such
time as Senator German may be able to give
his personal attention to the conduct of

WE ARE getting well into the spring.
The season opens up with simply
magnificent promise. We shall gar
ner in the harvest the biggest crops
of all sorts that ever gladdened the
heart of the husbandman. And the
real estate boom is showing this gen
erous impulse and seems to have ac-
quired reviving vigor from the beams
of the sun as he advances toward the
equator. March has spent third OF
its days, and the record in transfers of
realty is something sublime in its vol
ume. Last week the aggregate
was $1,992,S27. That is at the
rate of 1886, ,139 per day. The total
number of transactions was 723 or 12O
a day. Last week the total sum was
1,76S,7S -$294, 79S a day. The
number for that week was 72S,-120 a
day. For the two weeks the daily av-
erage is 1913, ,469. At that rate the
months sales will come to So, $50, ,663.

IT HAS grown to be that dinner or
breakfast without potatoes is incom-
plete, and therefore the lush and
purple fowered potato vine flourish
es in every part of the Union. There
is vast difference. however, in the
cultivation of this tuber in the various
sections of the land. In South
California the present month. Msrch,
is one in which potatoes a;e har-
vested. In most other parts of the
Union they are planted in the spring
only and harvested in the fall. The
Southern California farmer is
not satisfied with planting a
crop of potatoes in the month
of November, and gathering it in
February or March, but he needs
must plant another crop OF some sort,
it may be potatoes, in the same soil in
which the potatoes were first grown
ard which is ripened and out of the
way in time for another crop of pota-
toes to be put in for the next Febru-
ary or March harvest. Very little
cultivation is bestowed upon the
growing potato in South Cal
ifornia. A cultivator or small
plow may be run through the
patch two or three times during the
season OF growth, and this is all.
When the tubers are dug they are
piled on the field and covered with an
old sack or two to keep them from be-
ing sunburnt, and left to themselves
until wanted. The yield is from four
to five tons to the acre, and is worth,
say, two cents pound, or about 81
bushel. A minimum yield brings
in $125 to the acre; but crop OF ten
tons to the acre is often reached, and
then the income for one crop from an
acre is more than $500. Two crops
will bring in 5000 year. 1t is not
necessary for the farmer of South Cali
fornia to confine himself to citrus
or otner semi-tropical products
in order to compete with the
hayseeders OF the Appalachian valleys
or with the grangers further south
He can meet them on the common
ground of garden truck, of everyday
vegetables, and for value received dis
count them six to one. The Eastern
farmer can raise from 100 to 200
bushels of potatoes to the acre, and
they bring from twenty-five to forty
cents bushel-say $50 an acre. Then
the Eastern farmer is harrassed by
late frosts, the wayward potato bug
and the fear of his crop freezing after
it is harvested. Of these drawbacks
the farmerof South California knows
nothing. East of the Rockies the po-
tato crop is always doubtful one, so
far as profit is concerned; in South
California it is always remunera
tive. Any deviation from this result
is but the exception which proves the
rule.

luAuIlcbs
The politicians had to take back
tracks and betake themselves to the
old fetch. The CORY garment was
disinterred in all its putrid- offensive
ness. The politician thinks it is
vote-catcher. That is what the poll
tician is always on the lookout for.
The politician does not stop at rails
ing false issues, and setting up
shadows for issues in order to catch
votes. He not only will not devise
great measures for the good OF the
people, but, ii by chance, a statesman
does this, the politician will do all
that in him lies to defeat that meas
ure. He will sit in his seat in the
Senate, or House, where he was sent
to devise or at least to vote for any
measures which the country would be
benefited by, and there he will speak
and vote against all such propositions,
no matter how necessary they may
be, unless perchance the originator
is Of his party. His party
four years ago said that the tariff
ought to be revised and the accumula-
ton of the surplus stopped. But a
Democratic committee has formulated
such a measure, therefore the politi-
clan will not let it pass.
For years the country has been in
imminent danger of getting into
trouble with England on account of
bungling treaty. A new con-
vention has been agreed upon which
removes all occasion for this friction
but that is Democratic measure, and
the politician thinks it necessary to
defeat it in order to catch votes next
fall.
This section of the Union has
for twenty years been crying
to have the influx of Mongolian cheap
labor stopped. A treaty is reported
as in effect agreed upon whereby tLis
will be accomplished. 1t contains
necessary clause allowing such Chi
nese as are possessed of 1000 worth
OF real property to come and 60 be-
tween the two countries. That is
enough. Your politician makes that
pretext to vote against such meas
ure. To defeat it, he thinks, is to put
spoke in the wheels of the Demo
cratic party. To defeat it will catch
votes-so he thinks. He will be un'
deceived in November.

citement during the last few months,
that those who were not here could
not be made to understand. And let
us call attention to the fact that all
adrances IN ralues hare been main
tanned. No failures have taken place,
and are not likely to. Southern Cali
fornia is far advanced, compared with
one year ago, and it is no longer in an
uncertain condition. 1t supports hun
dreds and thousands more of popula-
ton than it did one year ago. Thous-
ands of its acres have been ploughed
and cultivated that were not in use
year ago, Thousands of peo-
pie from all over the world
are coming here as fast as locomotives
and cars can bring them. The trans
continental railways have ordered ad-
ditional rolling stock in such quanti-
ties that every car building establish
ment in the United States has all
it can do for months ahead. The
population of the world has only be-
gun to realize the value of our earthly
paradise. Our climate is as near per-
fection as one can expect to find.
Those that have faced the terrible
billiards of the past winter are look
ing towards Southern California as a
haven of rest where they can live and
not be compelled to go through an
other such winter OF suffering. In five
years from now the population of Cal
ifornia will be many times larger than
it is now, and Southern California
will be far more densely settled than
the most sanguine has ever dreamed
of or hoped for. With all these facts
staring us in the face is it possible
that the value of really will decline /?
With any one of our acres whose pro-
ducing capacity is greater than the
best the world has elsewhere, is it
possible to recede in value? We an
swer emphatically no, it has not yet
reached its worth. Farseeing people
understand this and invest literally

REAL estate dealers report a stead
lily increasing demand for small farms
in good localities. This is a most ex-
cellent sign of a steady, legitimate
business for Investment and improve
ment purposes. There is no doubt
that such property in this section will
steadily enhance in value for many
years to come. Choice soil in small
farms with irrigation privileges is GER
tain to be worth in the rough $500 per
acre, and improved such places will
be hard to come by in few years al
twice that figure.

SUBLIME nonsense was never more
emphasized than in the idea that any
serious collapse could come to such a
section as ours. The writer stood the
other day on College hill, in the new
town of Whittier. Below lay in full
view the whole lower end OF the Los
Angeles valley. From Newport land
ing to Santa Monica, the entire coast
line could be followed by the eye. To
the first named point the distance is
thirty miles as the bird flies. To
Santa Monica is longer distance
Between the two points the base OF
the triangle is as long as either of the
sides. There is taken in at one coup
d'eil 1000 square miles. Here are
100000 acres OF land. And that area
is all arabic, all level, all
fertile. Outside the lines drawn as
bounds to the vision and in the same
plain lie two other areas, one to
the east. the other west and north,
equal to that embraced in the calcu-
lation given above. On this more
than a million acres OF fine land are
about a score of towns and villages
ranging at from 500 to 5000 inhabit-
ants each. This million acres-cut, as
it will be, into ten-acre farms-means
100000 homes. That means half a
million people which the above area
will support. Santa Ana, Ana
helm, Downey City and other
places in this plain will grow
to be important centers of popula-
ton, Of trade and OF railway traffic.
The tide of growth and prosperity
which now is running at food in this
part of the county is like the current
of the Pontic sea, described by Caesar
in Shakespeare's play. 1t will not
look back, but flow right on until it
fills this splendid valley with the
densest and most prosperous people
on the earth. Nor shall we have to
wait so long to see in great measure
this glowing prophecy fulfilled to the
letter. Months count for years in this
rapidly developing section Of ours.

No whisky in their Campaign.

Pennington county intends to intro
duce a reform in political methods this
fall, according to the Rapid Republican.
It is as follows:
'sBoth parties are to agree that no
money shall be spent for whisky, beer or
other intoxicants from the first to the
last. 1t is thought that Mother party
will suffer by the innovation if both live
up to the letter of the agreement, and
that it will work world of good to soci-
ETY. at large and to the pockets of those
who have hitherto depended upon the
treating racket as a means of catching
votes. The average voter cares nothing
about this kind Of prodigality. They
know right well why they are asked to
sup at the expense Of a candidate, and
the saloon men themselves often lose
more than they gain by giving Out
drinks for which they are seldom paid
