Mr.. Stanford. Neglected Wine BOTTLES

What do you think, Governor, about
the grape culture of California. and the
making of wine as concerns commerce
hereafter
Unquestionably the grape is our great
est production. For long time we thought
1t impossible in California to make good
wine. Among those who had tried the
experiment it seemed impossible for some
time to get the necessary degree of flavor
and dryness. After became Governor of
the State, and the vineyard interest ex-
tended, / was frequently presented with
bottles and baskets of wine raised in diff
ferent parts. They Were SO inferior that
finally stopped opening them. Among
others there was an old Frenchman
who had brought his experience in
France 70 vineyard work here. He
gave me some wine which / did not
open at all, aid it lay in the cellar
certainly ten years, and perhaps fifteen
There were some people out here who
wanted TO test the oldest wines we had
some English and foreign people-and,
therefore, our old French wine was drag
ged out, and when il was tasted there were
EXPLANATIONS of surprise and pleasure,
whereupon | called for the bottle, and
found it was old Monsieurs wine, whi,
had almost forgotten. The fact was that
this wine had evaporated and improved by
time, and that Is one of the causts
OF the present quality of our
wines. We keep them and let
them mature. The Americans knew MOTH
ing at all about wine making in the first
place, and even now in the East many of
them think that wine is product 10 be

The India Wheat Trade.

The wheat trade of India is falling off to
an alarming extent, in so far as shipments
are concerned. Wheat has formed large
item of export from India and the bulk Of
the grain has come 70 the United Kingdom
The decrease is accounted for from the i'm.
possibility OF competing successfully with
American wheat, and the increase importa.

Is too expensive for the transit of " heat, and
where water conveniences can be taken ad
vantage OF the distance from the corn pro.
ouclng districts TO rivers entails an expense
that eais up all the profits. Besides which
the Indian wheat IS not SO clean as that from
Russia or the United States and Canada
Where facilities for moving the wheat at q
small cost exist, the cultivation will be
maintained. The Governor General of In.
dia has instructed the chief officer of the
land transport department to see whether
railway charges cannot be reduced, and
certain changes are commended The
shrinkage in export may be understood from
the following statement: The imports OF
wheat into the United Kingdom from the
British East Indies were as follows: In

A CoRoNER's jury in Buffalo has
held the Bell Telephone Company and the
Brush Electric Light Company responsible
for the death of man killed by shock
from an electric wire lying across the
street. The jury also condemned the sys-
tenn of overhead wires maintained by
electric light and telephone corporations.
The jury probably reflected the growing
sentiment that the net work of wires over
most cities must eventually come down,
and underground pipes be provided for
electric wires. This is the opinion of
the most advanced electric engineers, and
many of the electric companies are actively
engaged in devising means for the safe
passage of their wires underground. In
the Bafialo case that negligence was shown.
and the law in such instances would apply
with like force if like result had fol-
lowed from 4 clothes line carelessy
stretched across the highway SO far as
that verdict goes, therefore, it is not of
special value in the question of disposing
of electric light wires in cities. The
strongest reason for putting them under
ground in perfectly insulated cables, is
that overhead they render very difficult
and dangerous the tasks of tiremen; an
other reason of force is the unsightliness
on an immense wire net stretched over a
city. while still another IS that where the
wires are greatly multiplied induction

THE JULIA" DISASTER.

The explosion on the steamer Julia was
a terrible event. So far as reported be-
tween twenty-five and thirty people were
killed. 1t is not perfectly clear as TO
whether the petroleum tank or the boiler
| exploded, nor probably will it ever be
ascertained. One witness is positive that
it was the oil tank. the appearance Of the
explosion IS he saw it from short dis
lance convincing him that it was caused
by the oil. On the other hand. diver
reports finding one of the boilers with both
ends blown out. But the Captain and the
engineers testify that the boilers were but
recently inspected, tested, and found to be
safe. Eight years ago the Julia was al
most entirely rebuilt, and so far as her
machinery was concerned was entitled to
lie considered Hew boat. 1t would appear
from this that such precautions had been
taken as prudence advises and the law re-
quires for the safety of the crew and pas
sengers of the Julia. Experts who fortify
their Judgment by very positive state
ments declare that the oil tanks did not
| explode-that it was impossible for that
TO have occurred. The prevailing opinion
is that one of the boilers bursting caused
the scattering and burning of the OIL 1t
is doubtful if it will ever he as ascertained
why the boiler exploded. Boilers occa-
sionally explode when comparatively new,
or where they have been given all possible
tests at very recent dates, and have with
stood triple the pressure to be put upon
them in actual use. 1t may be that in the
case of the Julia the water through some
mischance that the engineers caution
could not forsee, ran low, and that the ex-
plosion is due to that cause. Or it
may be that, as sometimes happens,
gas was generated that the boilers
could not withstand. 1t is the testi-
mony of the Captain that the engineer
is man of excellent caution and long
experience; that the boilers were tested
annually and cleaned monthly, and that
every care and precaution was taken for
the safety of the boat aud its passengers
that human intelligence is called upon to
exercise. 1t is altogether probable as we
have said, that the true cause of the ex-
plosion will not lie ascertained, and that it

TENTS FOR Harvest HELP.-Some
one has been suggesting to the Vacaville
Reporter that tents could be secured
cheaply for the use of transient help dur
ing the harvest, and the suggestion APP
pears to be good one, as each crew oc-
cupying tent in the orchard, which
would easily accommodate from four to six
persons, would not object to paying a
dollar or so per week for its use, and in
few weeks the amount paid out for the
tent would be refunded, and at the close
of the season it could be slowed away for
future use, and not remain numbering the
ground as a building would. This is
worth considering, as a number of tents
could be grouped together, and the occu-
pants could form "messes - in army STYLE.
selecting some one of their number as
cook, and so everything could be run
smoothly.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING MORE
DISTANT.

1t Is apparent that the Democrats in
Congress have resolved TO defeat all appro-
priations for public buildings asked for at
this session. 1t will not do, according to
their policy, to permit the surplus to be
reduced in that way in any degree, and
thus shear them OF political capital in the
approaching campaign. This will work
exceeding hardship in the case of Sacra-
mento. because the Government has gone
SO far as to purchase site and has taken
possession Of it, all the old buildings upon it
having been removed. 1t is in the heart
Of the city and thus leaves an unsightly
spot in which the Government has in
vested 4 large sum that is now unpro-
ductive, while rent is paid for Federal
offices elsewhere in the city. Private
business is not Of course conducted upon
such line; but governmental affairs of
this kind never receive the consideration
that ordinary economy assures in business
Life. 1t is not to be lost sight of that
the delay to carry out its plans in
Sacramento by the Federal Government,
chargeable TO the Democratic party.
Indeed, if dispatches do not unconscion-
ably lie, the party leaders make no con-
cealment of luminosity to the policy of
appropriations this year for public build
ings This is not due to any spirit of
economy, but wholly to the desire to go
before the country with modest record
of expenditure on the one side, and Il
large surplus IN the Treasury on the other

buildings has been practically defeated,
But this small group of directors, it is
well understood is put forward by the
policy of the Democratic majority, which
hopes by slch tactics to conceal its hand
