WHEN Gen. Beale was United States
Minister to Austria he was much inter-
ested in the Hungarian wines, and es-
pecially in the Imperial Tokay. From
close investigation he came to the con-
clusion that this latter famous wine was
precisely identical with Los Angeles An
gelica. The medical testimony which
we published the other day, in which
California wine was recommended as sn
admirable substitute for the high-priced
imported Tokay, is in line with Gen.
Beale's experience. An excellent article
of this brand, in which Los Angeles
leads the world, can be purchased for
half the price per gallon that the i'm
ported staple costs by the bottle. This
ought to insure q constantly expanding
market for the home article.

the encouragement of expressed good

THE managers of the Northern Citrus
Fair. which was placed on an equal foot
ing by the Legislature as to State aid
with the Southern Citrus Fair, have pub
lished their schedule of prizes for the
best exhibits. This schedule confesses.
when 1t says that premiums for exhibits
of citrus fruit will not extend to fruit
raised in this part of the State, that COM
petition with US is impossible. II is
rather an ungraceful way of making the
admission; but better exclusion than dis
comfture. But there is another
feature of their programme which
calls for apprehension upon more
serious grounds. The State sppro
priated money for the purpose of
holding citrus fairs, and the presumption
was that it would be spent only in the in
terest of citriculture. That fact, how
ever, is set at defiance by our Northern
neighbors, for the premiums offered TO,
the best exhibits Of citrus fruits constitute
but small fraction of the whole. They
have made their show a general one
and invited exhibitors to compete for all
kinds of products. Thus their citrui
fair really becomes a general fair, and the
object of the Legislature is set at nsught
Why have they done this? Is ii
possible that the hot-house culture o.
citrus fruit in the Northern belt is in
adequate to give them enough oranges te
fill the shelves of a moderate citrui
sideshow? Let US be candid. When
the people of the North saw that the
Legislature WAS about to do sensible
thing by granting aid to citrus fair ir
the section where oranges and lemons
are staple production, they became
envious, and used their influence te
either defeat the whole appropriation OF
get half Of it themselves 80 as to enable
them to keep mp their farcical preten'

FIRE IN THE HOLD.
A Ship Damaged and Cargo OF
Wheat Lost at Port Costa.


PoRr COSTA, CAL, December w.
About 2 80 this morning fire was discov-
cred coming from the after hatch of the
British ship Durham, lying at McNear g
warehouse loading with wheat. Captain
Butler and Mate Stephens, by the use of
one sail, backed her into the stream,
where she was taken in tow by the
steamer Solano and taken to safe place
in the stream and anchored. Streams
were at once played into the hold,
but the FIRE continued to gain headway.
The tugs Sea Green, Relief and Vigilant
arrived from San Francisco in response
to q telegram for assistance, and the
ship was boarded. A dozen streams of
water were then poured into the hold, it
being evident that the only way to save
the vessel from total destruction was to
food her. The Durham was chartered
by G. W. McNear to take q cargo of
wheat. The cargo will be almost total
loss. The fire is supposed to have been
started by men smoking in the hold
yesterday.
PoRT CosTA, CAL, December 1.-THE
ship Durham which caught fire this
morning was flooded and the flames ex-
tinguished. The extent of the damage
is not known.
