reminds Caliiornians that they have
wool-growing and many interests
which the Democratic tariff would
strike down. Tie NJ lis bill would
cut off the duty on the wool whica
California raises, about forty million
pounds. On fruits OF which Cali
fOrnia ships an enormous quantity
to the Atlantic market, the duty OF
2 cents pound on foreign ralsins
now gives some advantage to Ameri-

pounds are even now brought from
Europe at that duty, but if it were
repealed the freight on raisins from
Europe is only eight cents a box,
while from California to New York
tie freight is SO cents a box, a
difference sufficient to shut the pro-
ducts OF the Pacific coast out OF the
Eastern markets entirely. To the
Golden State the success of Cleve-

two millions of dollars or more a

os Sorue strikers,

OE Same strikers,
} William B. Car wio used 10 b
more commonly known as. Bos
Carr, OF San Francisco, runs
ranch in Kern county, 60 mile
long and II wiie.
At times he las an army OF 5000
rlen under his command, engaged
in the peaceful avocation OF filling
the soil.
| His rule is to pay fair wages and
never yield 10 strike.
He is constantly making expert
ments, and has always held that
good cotton could be raised in Kern.
He put in 1900 acres, and that
tract of land was lie apple OF Carr's
eye. When it was ready TO pick !,
Carr couldn't keep away from the
field, and he was telling everybody
what an exhibit of cotton he would
make at the State Fair.
He then hired 3 900 men to pick
the cotton at a stipulated price, and
the men were not slow in realizing
how much Carr thought OF his cot
ton crop. So a few leaders had a
meeting, and il was decided to
strike and demand All advance OF
so cents a day on wages.
They felt that Carr would pay its
weight in gold to have that crop
harvested, but they thought that
Carr was a pretty decent sort of
man. and they wouldn't hit him
very hard.
Next morning all vas in readi-
ness, and Carr drove down to see
operations begin, his round, jolly
face beamng with pleasure.
When he got out OF the buggy q
awaited on him and in |
formed him that the 5000 men had |
agreed to have so |
cents more a day or not work.
Carr looked at the committee in
such a pleasant way that they felt
sure of success. He handed the
spokesman a cigar and took one
himself
He scratched q match on his
trouser leg and said:
"These your lowest figures ?''
Positively the lowest"
"Have a lIght?"
Carr stuck the lighted match into
4 bunch of beautiful cotton, and in
! moment the field was abiaze. He
lit his cigar with the match, handed
t still blazing to tine spokesman,
into his carriage, and say
ng, "Good day, gentlemen" left
he field with sheets Of fame play
ng in among the snowy, bursting
POLLS, and sweeping destruction
through the finest field of cotton
ever raised in California.
The strikers stood by and saw
he field of white blacken before
heir eyes, and then realized that
hey had struck the wrong man.
That afternoon they packed their
blankets and filed past the office,
md those who touched their hats
o Carr out of respect to the mans
ron nerve, received a salute and
mile in return, for he sat there
and his smiling face was
lst as good natured as ever, and
is temper undisturbed. Any man
tho knows Billy Carr will say
Just like him" when they read G

The Dog EeLnel Ticket.

Everybody wants to know what Col.
TngersoIl meant at Chicago last week by
calling Cleveland and Thurman the dog
feuuer' candidates It has been sup
posed by some that he really said dog
kennel" candidates, meaning really an ex-
preston of contempt; but The Press IS
happy to state that Col. lngersoll did not
say this or mean this. and that he had no
intention of setting bad example by
singing campaign mud. The expression
dog fennel' has historic meaning in
this connection. and its historic sense is
the sense in which Col. Ingersoll used it.
During the war of the rebellion the
Knights of the Golden Circle, copperhead
organization that extended over several
states in the Mississippi valley. used to
drill in back lots, where the ugly weed
known as dog fennel" grew, because
they were ashamed to drill in the public
streets or conspicuous parts of town.
James K. Magic. then editor Of The Can
ton Qlls.) Register, denounced local
company of the Golden Circle Knights by

which some village genius had applied to
them BY happy inspiration -
The nickname took from the start. II
became the synonym for coppeTheads In
all that region, and Gel. Ingersoll, then a
resident OF the neighboring county of
Peoria, heard il and sailed it down in his
vocabulary OF gems Of eloquence. What
was more natural than that he should ap-
ply it to the ticket composed Of Cleveland.
