A particularly vigc roas speaker at a wou,-

like the sails OF a windmill, asked: ssIf the
women OF this country were to rise up IN
their thousands and march to the polls I
should like 70 know what there is on this
earth that could stop themln And In the
momentary silence which followed this
peroration q stin, small voice remarked:

vice-PresitIepts.

That this great Office should have been
nlied so often by men of second or third
class abilities is due mainly 10 two causes.
IL Is not an Office of influence or great
power. The Vlce-Prcsident can inaup1lrato
no poncy, IS not member OF the administra-
ton, and in no way attracts the public eve
dc has even no voice in Legislation, save in
the very rare instances when he can pive
casting vote Then, again, the nomina-
ton Tor the Office is generally due to ssgco-
graphicaF' and ''availablen considerations
Inc whole contest of nominating conventions
centers upon the Presidency, and usually by
the time that iS settled all factions arc ex-
hausted. Some emnitIes perhaps have been
made, and the second place is thrown as a
sop to the losers, TO be disposed of with a
rush, so that every body can get out of the
turmoil and hurry home. 1t is largely be-
cause of these reasons that men of first-rate
aolllties are not ambitious for the place In
either branch of Congress or In the Cabinet
u.ey can find greater fields for distinction
and usefulness, and these are consequently
moro attractive.
Boston advertiser: II congressman would
attend more TO the consideration OF practi-
cal business matters, the operation of which
Is obvious to all, and leave their fayorito
hobbies to be written afterward. the busi-
ness OF the country would feel great sense
OF relief. But perhaps they fear that IL
they were to do this the effect would be so
favorable that they would have no excuse
Tor bringing out their hay and pea-straw
nags.
Boston Herald: Mr.. Biafnc's late farto-
TEN, Mr.. Manlcy, of Maine, makes a mis-
take in assuming that his chief can still bo
consistently a candidate for the Presidency.
He can not. As one Of his opponents, we have
so regarded the situation, and have ceased
TO comment upon Mr. Blaine as ono further
seeking Office at the hands of the American
people. It would be in better taste on tho
part OF bis friends If they would show the
same respect for what Is unquestionably a
pledge on Mr.. Blaine's part.
New York Herald. We take it that GEN
eral Fisk Is making no special preparations
Tor the occupancy Of the White House, has
not chosen his Cabinet, or pledged 70 his
supporters the chief Offices under the Gov
ernment. Still, IL will never do to ignore
the fact that these Prohibitionists are earn
est folk, and are doubling up in handsome
style. They have an idea, big idea, clumsy
and impracticable, perhaps, IN its present
shape, but still useful and reformatory. The
movement is bound to grow, and both par
ties wil do well TO keep their eyes on II,

The value OF the entire orange crop
last season was not less
than $61S,000.
The outlook for the future crop is
promising and while it is too early to
fairly estimate what it will be, indi-
cations point to a production of from
1000 to 1900 carloads.
Apricots flourish in Riverside and
125 tons of dried apricots were mar
keted during the season just closed.
This was an increase over the pre-
ceding year OF fiftydve tons.
The raisin crop while abundant is
not likely to grow in greatness. The
land is more valuable for oranges and
while new vineyards are being planted
old ones are being taken up by oranges
in about an equal ratio. This is shown
by the fact that the yield for the two
past seasons has been almost the
same and reached 200 0,000 boxes
valued at about $300,000.
The Gage canal system of irrigation
is the great factor in opening the land
to orange culture. Without this sys-
tenn, and as yetsno other now one
is known, cultivation would be con-
fined to the less than 10000 acres
which are irrigated by the system in
vogue before the Gage canal.

ed that Emil Harris, 6. S. Fickner,

vote against his appointment. There

Mr.. Breed appeared before the Board
and called attention to the way in
which the streets and street corners
were blockaded by people and stated
that it was impossible to pass along
the sidewalk with a lady, especially
on Sunday morning, without having
to walk into the middle OF the road,
and the Chief was instructed to order
his officers to prevent lettering
on the sidewalks and crossings. The
Chief moved that the City Attorney
be requested to draw up an ordinance
regulating the hack hire as follows: /:
"It shall not be lawful for any hack
man, coach or driver for him to
charge any higher rates than
those herein prescribed: For the Use
of hacks for the first hour, 50; for
each subsequent hour, 81. From the
city hotels to railroad depots and
from depots to hotels, within one
mile, for each person, 80 cents; for
funerals, $4; for christenings, SO; for

The placid, prohibitory and pa
trician town Of Riverside, whose resi-
dents have plenty Of gold, yellow aud
hard, has an environment of won
drous beautiful things, an Alden of
perfumed, snowy blossoms and
emerald bowers, the realization of the
famed garden of the gods where grew
the golden apples OF the Hesperides.
In the Riverside district there are
1000 acres planted to oranges, raisins
and apricots. OF this amount 5 800 acres
are in oranges. A thousand acres
were planted to oranges this season,
and it is estimated that there are
$4,000 additional acres or %, 600 acres
in all of available land that can be
supplied with water, and which in
less than a decade will be planted
with orange trees. 1t is also esti-
mated thai ii all of the trees already
planted were bearing the yield would
be 5000 carloads or 1900, 900 boxes
of oranges a season.
The growth of the orange industry
of Riverside with the present decade
is something marvellous. Here are the
official rat1rns of ahipments.

animals became frightened at pile
of yokes, deposited there by the cable
company, and began to back. The
driver could not manage them and
they backed the wagon into the trench
made for the cable company. 1t was
