Franciscos sustained their tenth success
i've defeat today, being beaten by the
Sacranentos by score OF 8 to 8. The
Capital City boys were in fine form, and
throughout the game both outbatted and
outfielded the locals. Zeigler was in the
box for the visitors and pitched his usual
effective game, retiring four men and
allowing but five scattered hits off his
delivery. Barry, on the contrary, was
an easy mark for the Senators, who had
no difficulty in finding his delivery when
hits were needed. The fielding of both
teams was more than ordinary, but one
of the eleven runs scored in the game

refusing she burst into tears and confded
to him that she was to be married within
a few days to G. G. Goldman, of San Luis

BEET SUGAR will he one Of the great
industries of California, that will in a
few years add greatly to the revenues of
our farmers. Mr.. Spreckels is not to
have the field all to himself. The
American refinery is very busily er.
gagged out about Pomona in making ex-
periments as to the amount of "sweets"
obtainabe from beets grown there. The
tests run at Is to 20 per cent. The lowest
grade beets that will pay to refine are
those which give IA per cent. Some go
as high al "a per cent. No doubt if due
care is taken in the selection of the soil,
and proper cultivation is given the beets,
the highest results will be reached in
that fine district of country.

Is IT not time some of the virtuoua
Republican papers set up great cry
about the President being away so much
from Washington. If memory is not at
fault, it would seem as if it had been q
grievcus fault last summer for Mr.. Cleve-
land to go fishing for day or two. Per-
haps it is not 30 important where Mr..
Harrison is. The removal of good Off
cials in the interest of Civil Service
reform may go on as expeditiously when
he is in the Rocky Mountains or at Bar
Harbor as when he is at home.

"THE Spanish. American Commercial
Union" is the name of an organization
recently formed in New York city, which
is putting out circulars broadcast setting
forth the aims and objects of the associa-
ton. These are to open up and stimulate
trade between this country and those OF
Central and South America. The affair
seems to be in practical hands, and much
good may be accom- plished by wise and
persistent efforts. "The sister Repub-
lies" to the south are easily reached by
us, 80 far as physical conditions
go. If properly approached, they
would be disposed to trade
with us in preference to others if we
could compete in prices and quality OF
goods. A table of exhibits OF the i'm
ports into these countries makes bad
showing for US. The Argentine Repub-
lie imports goods to the value of $780,
600 900 year. England sells $24 ,000,-
900 of these, France $4,000, 900, We ST.
100000. The principal lines of commo'
dities are cotton goods, wooden goods.
manufactures of iron and machinery
We ought to beat England in these goods.
Bolivia imports $17,OO0,0o0 worth
of goods, of which we furnish
none. Brazil imports to the ex.
tent of s237 ,0OO, 600, only eight per cent.
of which goes from the United States.
Chill buys foreign goods to the extent OF
500 900, 900, only Sc, ,OOO,O of which is
from this country. Mexico is at our
doors, and buys goods of the value OF
$44 900 900, yet the United States only
gets 5000, 900 Of all this. If any thing
can be done to increase our trade with
these countries it will be of the greatest
benefit to all parts of the Union,

THOSE of San Francisco who are
interested in the brandy industry in
tend to make an effort before the next
Congress, to have the period extended
for spirits to remain in the bonded ware
house before the tax, ninety cents on
the gallon, is payable. At present the
tax must be paid at the end of three
years. The distillers wish to extend the
period to five years. Senator Stanford
wss consulted on this head, and he
stated that he not only would cheerfully
lend all the aid he could to this, but that
he would 60 further and try to secure
reduction of the tax now imposed on
brandy. Both efforts ought to succeed.
Brandy at the age of three years is
not fit to drink. At five years old it
is only palatable, and not by any means
at its best. Some makers Of this excel
lent article of pure grape brandy may
desire to keep their goods until they have
reached state of absolute perfection
1t is an onerous burden to make brandy
which costs as much as dollar to dis

released from bond at the end of three
years, when it has cost nearly $3.50
gallon, the tax raising it to So 40 a
gallon, and then to carry this costly COM
modify two more years before it is fit to
put on the market, and three more on top
of that before it is really mature.
By that time the brandy is worth $5
gallon. A few Thousand gallons repre-
sent large sum. The proper thing to
do would be not to require the payment
of the tax until such time as the owner
may desire TO withdraw the goods from
the warehouse, even although he might
keep it there ten years. This would aid
dealers in giving consumers a really
superior article of brandy 80 much de-
sired for medicinal and other purposes.
And the thing that really ought to be
done is to free this product of the soil
from all taxation. 1t is difficult to do
this, for the reason that the manufac.
turers of fruit-juice spirits at the
East would clamor to come in with their
stuff under the general head of brandy.
But to put pure grape brandy on the free
list would be downright boon to the
people, who might thus in time OF illness
come by a superior article of brandy.

A Marked Contrast.

It ia q notable circumstance that there
has been no failure of bank in Los
Angeles county since the great crash of
the Temple & Workman bank in Sep
tember of 1875 until that of the Bank OF
Pomona the other day. 1t is question
as to whether the failure of the Bank OF
California in the fall of 1875 was in any
sense caused by the panic of 1873. Mr..
Ralston, the President of this San Fran
cisco institution, had engaged in colossal
speculations, whose end was not fortu-
nate. He had given Lucky Baldwin
So, ,4O0, 900 for his stock in the Ophir
mine, which proved to be valueless as
yielder of coin. He invested nearly six
millions of dollars in the Palace Hotel,
of San Francisco, which also turned out
to be "dead horse" That great struct-
ure cost 81 SOC, 900 to bring it to level
with the sidewalk, 80 solid and prodig-
ious was its plan, calculated to resist earth
quakes. Outside of the Bonanza mines, in
which he was not interested, everything
was excessively dull in California in that
year, and speculation had been pushed
everywhere to undue lengths. There had
been a boom in Los Angeles county, and
everybody was loaded up with real
estate. This was particularly the case
with the bank of Temple & Workman.
Mr.. F. P. F. Temple, who was the head
of that institution, had gone into saw
mills on the San Bernsrdino mountains,
into mines everywhere, and into about
everything, including politics, that was
unsubstantial and unremunerative. He
and his partner, William Workman,
owned millions of dollars worth of real
estate. The Bank of California failed,
coincidently with the suicide of Ralston,
and the failure Of the bank of Temple &
Workman followed fast upon it's heels.
This failure was for the enormous
amount of $1,10O00O. The princely
estate of Temple & Workman, as a result
of the second failure-Lucky Baldwin
having advanced money to reopen the
bank-passed into the hands of the San
Francisco millionaire. 1t is now worth
SIS 1000, 900 on a very conservative esti-
mate. The failure of the Bank of Pc.
mona is a mere fea-bite compared to the
celebrated Temple & Workman fiasco.
Mr.. II. A. Palmer, the virtual owner of
the Pomona concern, has been very en-
ferprising citizen of Southern California
what was known in the boom rs a
"plunger." He appears to have over
reached himself, but, according to the
most reliable advices, every depositor
will be protected. OF the vast sum
which was deposited in the Temple &
Workman Bank-one million, one hum
dred thousand dollars-not a depositor
got q cent. Today our financial institu-
tions are on a splendid financial
basis, and kitefying is at dis
count. 1t is a fact highly honorable to
Los Angeles county, ard contains vol
umes as to the stability of this section,
that since the collapse of the "paper
town" craze sixteen months ago there
have been only two considerable failures,
that of Mr.. Webster, Of Pasadena, and
that of the Pomona Bank.
