THE hop season of 1890 opens with a

years past. Although it is still too soon 10
estimate what the later sorts may yield il
is already we'll assured fact that this
wears crop will be the smallest this country
has produced since 1882; comparing still
further with that year, the available supply
of old hops is considerably less now than
then, the difference being most marked IN
the case of yearlings, for, whereas the sea
son of 1882 commenced with large stock
of ISIS, the crop of last year is now prsc
tically enchanted.
Most of the hops that have already
come to market show excellent quality,
Notwithstanding the unfavorabe atmos
pheric conditions il which they have been
produced few brsmbings have been
sold at from ten 10 fifteen guineas, and
other early sorts, where well grown, have
found ready buyers at prop0rdonate prices

BUTCHERS LICENSES.
United States Judge Sawyer Says They
are Collectable.

United States Judge Sawyer Says They
are Collectable.
The question as to the liability of butch
ers to pay county licenses is one that has
caused considerable annoyance to the Board
of Supervisors and the License Collectors.
The subject is one that has also given rise
to trouble in San Francisco, and was re
Gently before United States Judge Sawyer,
who. on Tuesday, rendered decision in a
habeas corpus case sustaining the local
ordinance imposing license en- vendors
of meat. In his decision he says:
The petition alleges that the petitioner was in
custody upon an arrest for violation of Subdivis-
ion of Ordinance 1859, Clause l, which re-
quires "peddlers of meat from vehicles or bas-
kets' to pay license of SIS per quarter, and
another provision making it a misdemeanor to
so peddle without the payment OF the license,
and the return states the same thing. Whether
this ordinance in these particulars violates the
Constitution of the United States was the ques-
ton argued and is the only question for de-
cision. / am satisfied it does not. The terms
OF the license are fixed. The conditions are
prescribed and the ordinance and conditions
apply to all alike There is no discrimination
between peddlers. This kind of license is
legislation and is usually regulated in cities.
The Court cannot say that the amount is so
exorbitant as to render the ordinance void.
Possibly this decision may have the ne
cessary bearing on the subject, SO far as this
county is concerned, to determine any
point that may have been at issue.

A Reprieve for the Condemned.

Wretched men and women long con-
demned to suffer the tortures of dyspepsia,
are filed with new hope after few doses
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This bud
ding hope blossoms into the fruition of GER
tainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. 1t
brings reprieve to all dyspeptics who
seek its aid Flatulence, heartburn, sink
ing at the Pit OF the stomach between
meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia
of which chronic indigestion is the parent,
disappear with their hateful progenitor.
Most benefcent of stomschcs! who can
wonder that in so many instances it
swakens grateful eloquence in those who,
benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its
behalf. 1t requires a graphic pen to de-
scribe the torments of dyspepsia, but in
many of the testimonials received by the
proprietor of the Bitters, these are portrayed
with vivid rruthfulness. Constellation, bill
iousness. muscular debility, malarial feyers
and rheumatism are relieved by it.

Mr.. PowDERLY says that it was evident
to the leaders that the strike on the New
York Central Railroad was failure from
the close of the first week. But it was
deemed necessary to teach the employers a
severe lesson. and for that the agitation
was kept up, entailing loss to the COM
pany of $2O,OOO,OOO. But what was the
loss to the workers, and how much better
able are they to stand it than is the rail
road company to bear its punishment? Mr..
Powderly's argument lacks force

THE dispatches of Wednesday an
nounced that the House of Representa-
tiyes On Tuesday took up the question of
the French spoliation claims for the forty
seventh time. Let Us hope that this
taking up will be followed by vigorous
action, and that at this session of Congress
the shameful neglect Of the nation will be
wiped cut. These claims are more than
century old. Though their justice has
never been questioned, il has all this time
been found impossible to get Congress to
order their payment. The one and only
argument in resistance has been
that the claims are liable to be
bought up by spectators should
Congress manifest a disposition TO
have them discharged. But what of it?
What has Congress to do with the specu-
lation in them? The only question for it
TO consider IS "Does the United States
Government owe this money p If the re-
Spouse is in the negative that ends the
matter. But if the answer sin the affirm
alive, ii is not for moment to be consid-
cred who holds the claims, whether they
have been bought up for song, or
whether the heirs of the original claim
ants still hold them. For no matter in
whose hands they may now be, it is GER
tain that the neglect and rank injustice of
our Government in the matter is charge
able for any necessity that may have
forced some of them into the hands of
spectators. However, we are reliably in
formed that only very few have been
sacrificed to money brokers. In the main
