acknowledgements CASE.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE report of
! the election committee on the ThObe-Car-
| Isle contest made to the house today by
Chairman Crisp after recital OF the offer
of the contestants counsel to prove certain
allegations, says that as the notice of con-
test fails to specify them as grounds of
contest the well established rule would be
| sufficient negative answer to the appli
cation. To induce the house to order
new hearing of his case, the contestant
must show diligence in the use of the time
allowed him by the statute, but in this
case he took testimony in only seven Of the
fifty days allowed him, made no effort to
procure evidence, ayowed that he
never wanted to enter into the contest and
that he would like to get out of it, that he
did not want to pay out money in the mat
ter. and had been forced into it by the labor
clubs and his desire to repel the imputa-
ton that had been cast upon him that he
and his counsel had been bought up. In
the opinion of the committee the laches of
the contestant and his counsel have been
such as to preclude him from asking any
further Indulgence of the house. Very
careful consideration of the papers satisfy
the committee beyond all reasonable doubt
that not one of the substantial aver
ments OF the contest could he
The committee concede the right of the
house to investigate the title of the con
testee to q seat. even if the contestant has
been guilty of such negligence as to pre-
clude him as party. But it fails to see
anything in the present case calling for an
inquiry by the house for its own vindica-
ton or to purge itself of member I'M
elected. in fact After thus disposng of
the application for an extension the COM
mittee takes up the case as shown by
the record and finds that no evil
dence was produced which supports
or tends to support any of the
specifications filed by the contestant. His
witnesses prove nothing to impeach the
fairness of the election. The technical
point that the judges of election ia Trim
BILE county were all Democrats the com
mlttee disnlsSeS with the statement that
il does not follow that the state law was
violated in that particular, and cites the
case of Barnes vs.. Adams in the Forty
first congress as a precedent for its decis-
ion. In conclusion the committee reported
resolutions declaring Carlisle, and not

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. lit has been
stated by certain papers that Mr. Dickin-

fix rates for government work over his
own telegraph lines The facts re-
garding Mr. Dickinson's telegraphic
connections, as learned from W.

heavy stakeholder in the Michigan Postal

General he called the stockholders to-

THE late real estate sales in San Fran
cisco show that there is growing ap-
pfeeistion Of the yslue of real estate in
that city This is not TO be wondered
st when all the conditions of prosperity
which exist there are borne ia mind.
The Aba says that there is very eager
competition there for sny city property
which can be relied upon to yield five
per cent. per snnum, and that trans
sctions are limited owing TO the unwii-
liHgHess Of owners 10 part with their
holdings. The perfect cable system Of
the Golden Gate has impaired high
values TO property in regions that here
tofore were very dull. That journal
looks for great development and pros
perity in Northern and Central Cslifor-
mia. This is doubtless true, and Ne can
round out the pleasing picture by
assuring oar contemporary that So5th-
ern Csifonis dlscloses all the
signs Of unusual progress and growth.

boom in outside lands was being reduced
10 proper proportions, and the return on
it is very much larger in rentals in pro

been too Eign. The Herald believes
they have be, and sre, but such mat

during the night with gun or pistol shot
wounds, and inquiries were made among
the physicians and drug stores in the

porter came in 10 ask for information five
minutes after the things were received,

HERE was very important joint
meeting Of the Board Of Trade and
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday, which
WAS addressed by Mr.. Lubin, Of eacra-
mento. This gentleman, We believe,
YVES formerly a member Of the State
Board Of Agriculture. For some years
he has been travelling in Europe, and he
has given psinstaking attention 10 the
semi-tropieal fruit farms and vineyards
OF Spain. France, Italy and other Euro
pesn countries, During his present visit
he represents the State Board Of Trade,
and he seeks TO unite the people of
Southern California with their brethren
Of the northern and central counties in
memorisliziBg the Legislature TO aid in
establishing and maintaining an ex-
hibition OF California products in Lon
don, the center of the trade Of
the world. Mr.. Lubin says, in effect
that our ability to produce the specalties
of Southern Europe are practically un-
limited that our fruits, especially our
sprieats and other canned staples, could
really be made better than theirs. but
they are injured by clumsy and defective
canning and packing. During his stay
in London he visited establishments
which handle canned fruits, and he
found that California canned aprieots
were selling al eight shillings a case
while Lisbon aprieots brought twenty
four shilliBgs. On the other hand, he
says trnthtuIly that the California apri-
cot on the tree is the better of the two
lie Instituted substantially the same
line OF comparison with our prHnes,
raisins, and other fruit products. We
are inclined to think that, of late, as to
raisins and pfunes, ne have made
marked advances, both in quality and
handling. Our raisins now sell in both
Boston and New York at as good a
figure as the famous London layers, from
Malaga, and our prunes bring better
price in those markets than the best
French staple, Mr., Lubin says that The
table wines consumed in Europe make
80 per cent, Of the total, and that our
wines OF that grade are as good as the
imported. The HERALD has no hesitation
In saying that they are better. Presi-
dent Cleveland told the writer that he
had supplied the White House with
better wines, at one-half the price, from
DeTurk's Santa ela'a vineyard, in com
parisen with the table wines he had
bought from French importers. MIR.

San Dieso,s Trouble now,

The "short line" of railroad built be-
tween San Diego and Los Angeles is
proving itself disadvantage, Last year
overland passengers for this point went
through country which offered no rival
attractions TO bay and climate, but now
they are brought to the largest city OF
southern California and into a region
which has been under cultivation from
five to thirty years. Both town and
country please them, and thousands are
deferred from coming here by the dispo-
sltion TO let well enough alone, and the
nnwilllIgness 10 face the discomforts
which the malice of competition con-
lures up among the homes OF San Diego,
Los Angeles papers report business good
both in that plaes and Pasadena-not
only good but improving all the time.
The hoteis are running over and the
merchants are rushed. Signs of boom
winter are everywhere seen. Money is
flowing in, debts are being paid off, and
the future looks cheerful and promising.
Half this commercial impetus would
have come to San Diego bad the old rail-
road roHte by way of San Bernardino
been retained; but as IL is, the pilgrim
and the stranger, perhaps honestly in
tent ON San DISCO Is beRuiled at Los
Angeles and held there. The latter city
gains in the proportion of the formers
loss, ,-fsan Diego Union.
