BERLIN, September 1.-THE hearty
reception given to Emperor William at
Hanover has been gratifying surprise,
as showing the extension of the anti
Prussian movement and the popular
growth of the German National move
ment. The progress of the party through
the densely crowded and richly decor

and the bursts of enthusiasm must have
struck chill to the hearts of the old ad-

heard them. The Emperor was exceed

WARRINGTON VIKINGS.

Overpaid Pension VOuchers-War-
ner rendered Tanners Place.
WASHINGTON, September 14--An ex-
an. ination of the June accounts of the
Washington City Pension Agency by the
Pension Division of the Third Auditors
Office, shows an over-payment of 100
on one voucher. A number of smaller
over.payments have also been recently
discovered in the accounts of other PEN
sion agencies. These errors are said to
have resulted from an effort to increase
| the work of the clerks beyond their
capacity.
Secretary Noble said today he had no
| desire to either suppress or make public
| the report of the commission that inves-
| tigated the affairs of the Pension Office.
1t is understood the report was delivered
to him today.
TANNERS PLACE RENDERED TO WARNER,
Hon. William Warner, of Missouri,
| had another long interview with the Sec
retary OF the Interior today, and after
| ward, in company with the Secretary,
called on the President.
The Star tonight says that the Presi-
dent rendered the Pension Commission
ership to Major Warner this morning and
that the latter had taken the matter un.
der consideration, with the chances OF
his declining on the ground that he can
not afford to surrender his present bust
ness engagements.
In conversation with reporter this
afternoon Major Warner intimated that
he had not yet reached conclusion in
the matter. The impression in Wash
ington is that the matter will be settled
by the President during the coming eek
that the appointment when decided upon
will be first announced at Deer Park.

A Clicked ErdluStrV,

The sttitude of the State and Federal
authorities towards the vine industry OF
California is one of the most rem arkable
on record. From all points of view this
enterprise is among the most important
in the Nation, and it is important to all
the people of the Nation. The products
of the vine are four. There are the
grapes in their natural state as an article
OF diet for daily use. There are the
grapes dried fer rais;ns. There are the
various sorts OF wines expressed from the
grapes, and the brandy distilled from
portions of these vintages. Fresh grapes
area luxury obtainable only by the
richs By proper encouragement given
the industry grapes can be put on all
the markets of the country at a price so
reasonable that eli the people will be
able to reach them. This is not merely
reducing luxury to the level of staple.
1t is bringing health and vigor to the
homes Of the poor. There is no more
health-giving product of the soil than
the grape in its natural state. A plenti-
fnl supply in the closely packed tenement
houses of superheated cities of the East
would do more to insure the we'll being
OF the inmates than all the doctors and
drugs in the country.
Raisins may not be OF 80 great impor.
tance, but they are commodity of uni |
versal consumption, and the cheaper
they are, of course the more people they
are within reach Of. They contribute |
much to the health of the people,
although possibly not SO much as fresh
grapes.
All that is said of the} product of the
vine in its natural state, may be said ten
times over of this product when con-
verted into pure, sound wines, whether

exhibits, will be opened next week. The

lines pass near the doors. Great efforts
are being made for the success of this
affair, and for the credit OF this section il
is to be much desired that the people in

THE Bulletin revels in smart reflections

THE Bulletin revels in smart reflections
about our "busted boom" on the strength
OF our application for a reduction Of the
inflated assessment of the property Of
this county by our model Assessor. Our
application was based on common sense
and justice, and the State Board recog-
nized that we were right. Now, as San
Francisco was begging for reduction as
we'll as ourselves, it would look to a man

town could not afford to shy their stones

of the sweet or dry varieties. They
strengthen and tone up the system when
in healthy condition, and they restore
it to it's normal vigor when impaired by
disease or overtaxed by work. Pure,
mature brandies are one of the
prime necessities of life in many
of the forms of disease most prevalent in
all countries. The most extreme of Pro-
hibitionists recognize the value of these
products Of the vine, when the skillful
physician finds it necessary to resort to
their use. The more rational of the tenn
perance people recognize light wines as
their best ally in combating the ex.
cessive use Of strong drink.
Yet what course is being pursued in
reference to this important industry? As
the HERALD stated in an interview held
with one of the largest and oldest Wig
nerons of the State, Mr.. Robert Barton
of Fresno, which appeared in our issue
of yesterday, there seems to be some
what of set purpose to throttle this in.
dustry in all its forms and
choke it to death. The land
on which grapes may be grown is taxed
five times as high as wheat lands. The
vines, that is the growing crops
are taxed as much more. Here
is the bowstring which the State
has placed around the neck o.
this infant industry. Then comes in the
Federal Government, and taxes raisins
sweet wines and spirits to an enormous
degree. This industry in all its forml
has to compete with the cheapest labol
Of the old world. France, Italy an(
Spain are the most important vine-grow
ing countries Of Europe. Wages in these
countries are as low as few cents day
This is q phase of competition so onerou
that it is difficult for our industry T.
stagger under it. But when to this i
added the burden OF discriminating Stat
taxation, and then the enormous load G
Federal excise, it is not breaking
camel's back with straws, but crushin
mere infant under mountain of bur
dens. By all means let the Californi
delegation take this affair in hand an,
reform it altogether.
