hEPORTS from tno vineyards Vi
France annually become of a more
discouraging tenor. The latest, which
may be found in our kilograms Of this
morning, is about the worst yet made
public. There seems little reason to
doubt that the vines of France are
doomed, and that the world will be
forced to look elsewhere for it's vim
tages. A careful survey of the field
must impress any intelligent person
with the truth that the only fields to
which wine drinkers can look are
those Of California. This State is
able to supply the world with
as much wine as the vineyards of
France ever furnished in their palm
lest days. The vintages Of California
have had very little fair play before
the world up to this time. Those
attracted into the wine business by
its promise Of enormous profits have
been mostly persons unskilled in the
art of wine making. Then this same
greed of profits has led to the market
ing of our vintages long before their
maturity. And wherever some Cali
fornia vintner has been able to pro-
duce some really good wine and hold
the stock to maturity, when such par
cells have found their way into the
hands of consumers it has been after
passing through the hands of some
unscrupulous dealer, who has clapped
some French label on the bottle and
sold the contents as imported wine.
What needs to be done now is to hold
California wines long enough for them
to arrive at their full maturity and
then to put them on the market hon
estly for what they are. Our raisin
makers have learned that they have
no odds to ask of the Spanish fruit.
California goods are preferred. Our
wine can be made to take
its recognized place in the markets
of the world. 1t is notorious
that nearly all the French wines sold
are poor doctored stuff, made Of any
thing rather than the juice of the
grape. Let it be understood that our
wines are genuine, that they contain
no deleterious stuff to menace the
health of the user, and they will be
in demand. Now is our opportunity.
Properly managed 100, 900, 900 of gal
Ions of sound California wines can be
sold to the home trade. But vigner-
ons should learn to crush their
own grapes, and sell the wine
to dealers when it is ready for the
blending processes, if they would de-
rive the full measure of profit from
this great industry. There should be
no trouble in making good vineyard
pay 5000 an acre. The great Lafitte
vineyard Of France, Of fifty acres, the
largest in that country, pays the es-
tate 500, 900 a year. That is $4,000
per acre.

WHILE proclaiming the excellence
of Protection to American industry"
the coal combination that has seized
upon the anthracite regions of Pennsy,.
vania has from time to time provided
itself with the cheapest possible labor
from the lowest elements Of Euro
pean emigration. By its rapacious
policy of extorting the last dollar of
profit from necessary Of living this
coal combination has systematically
degraded labor until the condition of
the miners Of Pennsylvania has be-
come more precarious than is that of
their brother miners in any other
part Of the world.-[Philadelphia
Record.
The Philadelphia paper from which
the above is taken is very pro-
nounced High Protective Tariff advo-
cafe. A more damaging statement to
its favorite principle would be difficult
of discovery. The most natural-in
fact, the only natural-conclusion to
draw from it is that the tax on coal
does not benefit the laborer, who
needs it, but that the whole amount
OF the tax is greedily pocketed by the
rich mine-owners, who do not need
it. Nor is there any economic factors
in the problem which will Justify the
conclusion that without this tax the
mine.owners would be compelled to
shut down any more frequently than
they do. They combine now to keep
the price of coal at the highest notch
possible to force the consumer to
reach.

The Sale.

According to announcements the
sale of the Nadeau Orange Tract came
off yesterday, and quite a large
amount of choice property was sold.
The prices were low as was expected
and every buyer was satisfied. The
auctioneer, Ben o. Rhoades. made a
reputation for himself. His versatil-
ity and good humor made him great
favorite with the buyers. The atten-
dance was very gratifying, and Mr..
A. L. Teele, the manager, is to be
congratulated on the completeness of
the arrangements.

The Garden Grove Tragedy.


The horrible murder at Garden
Grove, near Santa Ana, of a we'll
known and estimable couple, was the
topic Of universal comment yesterday.
The facts, as laid bare by the dis
patches in the HERALD yesterday
morning, disclosed carefully laid
plan by the monster who committed
the deed, to murder Mr.. and Mrs.
Hitchcock in the most diabolical
manner. They were struck down
with an AK, and their bodies buried
in grove at short distance from
where the deed was probably COM
mitted. To analyze the facts already
developed would lead directly to An
schlag as the author Of the bloody act;
and his object could only be, as far as
the circumstances Of the case are re-
vealed, to get hold of the deed
to the Hitchcock property, which had
already been made out and executed
ready for delivery to him when he
should pay over the purchase money
agreed upon. If this is the true the
ory Of the stupendous crime, it be-
trays remarkable absence of sagacity
ON the part of Anschlag to suppose it
could be carried out to the end with
out question. He must have known
that people so we'll known as Mr.. and
Mrs. Hitchcock could not be put out
of the way without exciting an inter-
est in their fate that would have led
to most thorough and minute inves-
tigation. The very fact that Anschlag
had got possession Of the deed would
be a strong circumstance against him,
unless he could show that he had ac-
tually paid over the money in
the presence of third parties. This fact
shows motive for the crime, and
the mere assertion that he paid SO
large sum as nearly $4,000 to the MUIR
dered man before five O'Clock in the
morning, without calling anybody to
witness it, when he could just as well
have done it an hour and a half later
In Santa Ana, where the transaction
could have had full publicity, lacks
the appearance of verify. But An
schlag's own story, strange as it may
appear to be, goes to strengthen
the circumstances against him.
For divested of the element OF
dishonest flight which he attri-
butes to the Hitchcocks' hurried de-
pirture, his story is without shadow
Of probability. And no one can for
: moment suppose that the victims
of this tragedy-persons of standing
and of means, with near relatives liv-
ing all around them-had done any
thing to cause them to make hur-
ried flight from the neighborhood in
which they had spent years, and
where they were loved and honored.
If this part of his story will
not hold together, who will believe
the other We are very glad
that the report which reached here
yesterday morning Of the lynching Of
the accused has turned out to be un-
true. This is one ofthose cases which
cannot be safely left to the decision of
. popular and excited tribunal. The
circumstantial evidence is such as to
point with terrible directness to
Anschlag as the murderer; but the
fact that it is circumstantial evidence
10 Z preponderating reason why that
evidence should be carefully weighed
BY Court and jury.

PLENTY OF EMPLOYMENT
In and About the City fo' Those
who Want Work.
AN UNPRECEDENTED BOOM
In Railroad Building and other I'm
provcmeuts-Busy Scenes in All
Directions-Ncws from the
Mills and Factories.

1t has been a long time since there
has been as much employment for labor
in Wheeling as just now. Railroad,
bridge and other building is going on in
all parts Of the city and neighborhood.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany is and has been for several months
working several gangs of men along the
HempGeld road. They now have also a
force at work in the Hempfeld yard and
another on the piIing guards for the
Main street bridge. The Wheeling &
Harrisburg railroad has about forty men
at work on the east end OF the bridge
over the river, near the Top mill, aud
another force at work ut the west end,
across the river. They have also a large
force employed grading their bed on the
south bank of the creek, near the Cres-
cent mill, another on the Peninsula and
fourth in the west end OF Fulton. The
new city reservoir, the temporary bridge
at Main street, the Eof street bridge
over Caldwell's run and its approaches,
street cleaning, water works improve
ments, the LaBelle pottery, the new
buildings of the West Virginia China
Company and the Bellaire street railway
also give employment to considerable
numbers Of Wheeling men, while there
is more than the usual demand for men
in all the mills and factories.

The men employed in the Riverside
steel plant at Benwood, have done an
unusually large amount OF work the past
four days. They have turned out in
this time, on an average, from 3l3 to 3l4
tons OF finished steel every twenty-four
hours. There are two or three steel
plants that have a record for having
turned out bigger product than this,
3l4 tons, in day, but the Riverside's
record is believed to be the largest for four
consecutive days. The past Two weeks
have been exceptionally busy ones in all
the Riverside's establishments Mt Ben
wood-steel plant, furnace and tube
works. The pay roll for this time fOOts
upover $4,000, which will be distributed
to-day. This is over 1000 above what
the pay roll usually is when the works
are running steadily.
