IN THE AIR.

The Los Angeles Herald is certain that
this is a Democratic year; Democratic sue
cess is visible in the air. The Los Angeles
prophet relies largely upon Republican dis
senSiOns to realize its predictions. 1t sees
a multitude of knives directed at the Re-
publican standard bearer, whoever he may
oe. " Knitting candidates is a very dan
gerous game to play, 1t cannot be played
10 any considerable extent without leaving
traces of its method. Party discipline re-
ouires the humiliation Of all knifers, -
without regard TO party. A man has a
right to bolt from q convention; he has a
right to change his party relations; he has
a right to refuse to vote for an unfit candi-
date; but when he resorts to the knife. F"
in the political sense of the term, he be-
comes a political outlaw. STILL there is a
great deal Of talk about this method of
warfare on both sides. 1t is said that the
full Republican vote will not be polled in
the southern counties for the Republican
candidate unless Markham gets the NOM
ination. No one intimates that Markham
sanctions this method Of warfare, but it is
his misfortune to have lot of fool friends
who ought to be taken care of. 1t is said
again that anti-Stanford Republicans will
" knife " candidates for the Legislature
who pledge themselves to vote for Stanford
for Senator. Their only hope or expecta-
ton is to give the Senatorship to the DEM
ocrats. On the other hand, the report goes
that the Democratic machine will be set to
knife supporters of Mr.. White. The
Herald takes a sanguine view CT White S
prospects. 1t says this is practically the
election Of a Senator by the direct vote of
the people. Unfortunately, an examina-
tion of the processes by which results are
accomplished do not justify this opinion.
That White may be the nominee of the
party is probable, but, so long as the Legis-
lature elects, majority of the popular vote
has little Influence ON the final election. DEM
ocFatic delegations may be beaten in close
districts either by the knitting" process or
by the nomination of unfit candidates for
the Legislature. The candidacy of so pop
ular a man as Mr.. White would not bring
out full Democratic vote for Legislative
ticket composed largely of the chosen band
of plundeTers who, under Buckeyes direc-
ton, squandered four million dollars of the
peoples money in 1889

FRUIT AND FRUIT LAND.

The effects Of the failure of the Eastern
fruit crop are so astonishing that people
who are not in the fruit business are loath
to believe the facts. Last year it was diff
cult to market apricots at cents and pears
and peaches at to az cents; vast quanti-
ties rotted because they could not find a
purchaser in the brief period which elapsed
between the ripening of the fruit and the
beginning Of decay. This year every april
cot grown has already been marketed at "a
TO cents, and the demand for peaches at
2R to 3 cents and Bartlett pears at top
prices is larger than the orchardists can
supply. A well known fruit-grower Of
Suisun says that he is offered 10 cents a
pound for all his Bartletts.
The good fortune which has befallen our
fruit-growers will prove a blessing, mas
much as it will make many Of them fairly
prosperous.
The prospect is that owners Of orchards
capitalize ng this years income-will set a
price on their land which may be fair
enough when considered from the stand
point of its income, but which will overrun
the capacity of Eastern purses. This is
what happened in Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara when their orange groves came
int ftsi1.. bearing. Owners asked $1,000 an
acre and over; and though perhaps the
lands we're worth the money, they failed to
find purchasers. Newcomers may derive
consolation from perceiving that there is
yet in this State, at some distance from San
francisco, and not too far from railroad,
plenty Of good land on which fruit may be
grown, and which is in the market at SIS
to S25 an acre.

PROOF OF CONFIDEN Gle.

During the past week the columns Of THE
CALL have again shown the advertisers
answering confidence in THE CALL as the
best advertising medium.
The only way advertisers have of finding
out the value of an advertising medium is
by the results of their advertisements. The
newspaper which brings them the best re-
suits will receive the most of their patron
age.
As the advertisements in THE CALL, dur
ing the past week, numbered the most and
occupied the most space it clearly shows
that advertisements in The CALL must
bring the best results.
There were published 7142 advertise
ments. occupying space of 4475 inches.
The daily average was 1920, a higher aver
age than was ever attained by any other
city paper. The want advertisements num-
bered 6545, with a daily average of 935,
which is far in excess of any other city pa
per- So far, in fact, as to make THE CALL
the only want medium.
While the advertising columns prove
The CALLS popularity with the adyer-
tisers, its rapidly increasing subscription
list proves how the public appreciates a
clean newspaper, with character and sta
bility. Without the aid of catch-penny
schemes, but relying on its merits as COM
plete newspaper, THE CALL is steadily
gaining circulation in every direction.
This is the circulation which brings re-
suits to advertisements.

A SETBACK FoR IRRIGATION.

Opinions may differ on the issue between
Major Powell and Senator Stewart, but
there can be no question that the refusal OF
the Senate to vote the necessary appropria-
ton for irrigation suryeys-if concurred in
by the Housewife set back work upon
which future Western prosperity largely
depends. Senators appear TO have voted
through a desire to restore to the market
large blocks Of land which are now with
held from sale by the act of 1888. 1t is, of
course, desirable that settlers should be
able to find land for occupation. But the
argument which led to the enactment of the
statute of 1SSS-that it is not good policy TO
permit syndicates to capture irrigable lands
in advance of irrigation has as much
weight now as it had when the act was
passed. 1t is poor policy in any event to
stop irrigation surveys.
One hundred million acres-more or less
in the country west of the Missouri are
of little yalue for agricultural purposes
without irrigation. They cannot be irri-
gated properly without surveys, showing
where the water is to come from, how it is
to be collected and how it is to be dis
trbuted. To refuse to vote moneys for
surveys is, therefore, TO vote that this enor-
nous area, which might support popula-
ton OF millions and add vastly to the pro-
ductive capacity of the nation, shall remain
in state of barrenness. That appears to
be unwise. 1t is true, as Allison suggests,
that if the Government embarks in the
work of irrigation surveys it may find itself
committed TO heavy expenditures before it
is through. But the West knows of no bet
ter way TO use the surplus revenue.
That the dispute between Major Powell
annd Senator Stewart has taken a personal
shape is to be regretted. These two officials
are fighting each other over the back of the
Western farmer. 1t is of little consequence
to the citizen of Nevada whether the irri-
CATION surveys are conducted by the Bureau
Of Agriculture or by the Typographical
Bureau. What he wants is that they shall
be begun and carried on 10 completion by
some one. He takes little interest in Sem
ator Reagan's charge that the opposition to
Major Powell has been melted by land
sharks, whose schemes he has foiled.
Senator Stewards hot disclaimer attracts
little attention. What landowners in the
West do notice, and notice with pain, is
that the work of retaining the arid desert
has been postponed through personal con-
trOYerSies.
