AUGUSTA, Ca, Jan. 25.--The Chroni-
Gle says the cotton merchants Of that city,
'who are as we'll posted as in any inland
Southern city" unanimously incline to
regard the statement that this years cot
ton crop may reach z, 5OO, 900 bales as an
overestimate. They say that THE pres
ent crop is now 100000 bales sh 1T, In
round numbers. Last years crop wss
1000, 600 bales, and continued gain of
% per cent will be necessa' to catch up
with last years figures. Augusta cotton
men regard 1000, goo bales as the outside
figures on the years CROP"

Prodding a Professor.

Prof. Hosford has his fad as we'll as his
acid. His acid has made him sscchar-
inc millionaire; his fad may possibly
make him caustic in invention as we'll az
alkaline in discovery. What is his fad
It is the correlation of the Icelandic Sagas
with early Middle Age voyages to the
land of the free and the home of the
brave. The Professor tosses q baking
powder into his historic imagination and
discovers that Left Ericsson once lived
near Prof. Lowell's house, in Cam bridge,
and ate grapes from the ledges of Cape
Cod. The Professor intimates that Leif's
shallop ran into soft bottom near Faneuil
Hall, and that the condolences of the
Sagas and of the Sands of Cape Cod are
almost as numerous as the irrepressible
sands themselves. The Professor in his
own judgment has eliminated every
doubt from the muddled identity of Nor
umbega, and left as legend the work OF
the Maine and Massachusetts Historical
Societies. The Professor has aroused
the ancient and honorable enemy, and
the burning question now at the Hub is
this: Whether Left Ericson's statue
should be regarded as the projected
Agamemnon's ?-[ Lewiston Journal.

Mr.. HARRISON S administration will be
memorable for the great inroad OF Brit.
ish capital into the business enterprises
of the United States. From the way
British syndicates are gobbling up oul
brewerles and iron mills, it would lock very
much as if Blaine and Carnegie had beer
putting their heads together during theil
famous coaching trip to stir up the mon
eyed Briton to these investments. From
the rash way in which he is buying up oul
breweries, it is not too violent presump'
ton to hold that John Bull must have
received some pretty strong guarantee
that the cohorts of Prohibition should be
held in check and his investment given
fair play. Certainly the spectacle is
strange one; and Englishmen uDques
tioDably show strong partiality for Mr.
Harrison's administration.

BRITISH sailors are playing with most
dangerous buzz-saw up there in Alaskan
waters. Their own rule applied along
the bays of Nova Scotia is good enough
for us in those OF Alaska. Sheer as peo
pie may at the American navy, you'll
never catch the American eagle sleeping
as it runs in the Little Tycoon. The
country will endure no nonsense at the
hands of these clustering British Cap
tains. Alaskan waters are no Tom lid
dler's ground for them, and they will
have to respect our rights there and else
where. The smallest revenue cutter in
those seas, over which the Stars and
Stripes float, will tackle the whole Brit.

this State is guarantee for business to
the companies in the future, and that
would be an enlightened policy in which
the sole aim should be the development
of the State in population and wealth.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the railway
companies would make more money by
an excursion rate cf $50 than by one OF
$50, because four times the number OF
people would travel on the minimum
figure and the additional expense would
be much less than the increased receipts.
This view is of course independent of the
augmented gains to the corporations by
the settlement and enhancement in value
of their lands and the steady growth OF
local business. The break from the ex-
isting standard cannot come too soon.

Peter Jackson,s Mills.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Parson Davies,
who arrived today, said, concerning the
spat between Peter jackson and Tom
Lees, that the trouble was brought about
by Lees attempting to leave the combi-
nation. Addressing Jackson roughly, he
demanded his salary, and Jackson re-
piled that since he (Lees) intended to
leave him in the lurch, he would make
him wait until he got ready to pay him.
Lees then called Jackson a foul name.
Jackson struck him and scuffie en-
sued, but the men were quickly sepa-
rated. As regards Jackson's set.to with
Lynch, the Buffalo pugilist, the Parson
says Lynch grabbed Jackson's legs to
avoid punishment and to win on foul.
The police interfering, the referee de-
clared Jackson the winner.

Sound VieWs-What a New Yorker
Thinks of Los Angeles.

Mr.. F. N. Barrett, the publisher of the
american Grocer, the leading journal of
that interest in the United States, left
San Francisco for his Eastern home
some weeks ago, after an extensive trip
over the Coast. While here he
made a study of fruit culture in
California. He expressed the opin-
ion that our horticulturists are in the
habit of relying too much upon the nat
ural spontaniety of the soil and of neg
lecting fertilizers. This is probably true
of the whole State, and in Southern Cali.
fornia it may be added that too much
stress has been laid upon the necessity
of irrigation. Mr.. Barrett thinks that
our fruit growers expect too large profits,
and that lower prices and thorough cul.
tivation and fertilization are the reme-
dies for the existing dullness in California
dried and canned fruits. There is much
good sense in this view of the matter.
Before leaving for New York he had an
interview with the editor of the San
Francisco Grocer and Country Merchant,
in which he expressed surprise at the
manifestations he had observed in this
city of what seemed to him jealousy be-
tween this portion of the State and
Southern California. He had visited
San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles and
other cities in that section, and found
them all substantial and growing cities.
He was especially pleased with the ap-
pearance of Los Angeles, which, next to
San Francisco, he considered had the
most promising future Of any city on the
Pacific Coast. AS to retrogression in
Los Angeles, which he had heard existed
there since his arrival in San Francisco.
he saw no signs whatever; on the con.
trary, everything pointed in the direc.
tion of progress and healthy develop.
ment. He regarded sectional jealousy
in this State as childish in the extreme.
and thought the prosperity of one section
meant prosperity to the entire State"
The Cassandras who are fond of mis-
representing the condition Of things in
Los Angeles, and of predicting dire
things, would do we'll to ponder these
well considered views of an experienced
and intelligent observer
