increasing very slowly-th' reduced output

Among the vine-growers of this State the
German compound OF sulphur carbon and
petroleum is not regarded with much favor,
and 10 faith is placed in the efficacy OF
water. None Of the many insecticides which
have been invented by chemists command
general approval Thus far no remedy for
the phylloxera has seemed to meet the case
except the heroic method OF extirpating the
deceased vines and replacing them with
resistant stock. This was the plan pursued
on the Rhine. and in most of the vlne-grow-
ing sections Of Algeria. Whether bill
could be got through the State Legislature
empowering n State official to search vine
yards for phylloxera and requiring vine
growers to tear up and burn all diseased
vines, and to establish quarantine round
infected territory appears to be question.
There is good deal of doubt on the subject.
Yet il is quite plain, from the experience of
the past half-dozen years, that, if undis-
turbed, the pest will spread pari passu with
the acreage planted in vines, aud the wine
crop of he State will not increase much, ii
at all. We have the experience OF the wine
growing countries of Europe to guide US. Ii

RHYME OR REASON

The AItd informs its readers chat "eleyen
Democrats elected 10 Congress- have been
unseated without rhyme or reason except an
arbitrary desire to increase an arbitrary
and INSCRIPTIONS majority" If there are
any cases in which Democrats elected on
the face Of the returns have been unseated
it has been upon evidence of intimidation
which prevented legal voters from voting.
In some cases there has been evidence of
false counting, and in others of a suppress
sion of part of the popular vote. South
ern men excuse their methods on the ground
that there is no other way to maintain
white supremacy, but the Republicans reply
that as Congressman are Federal officials, it
becomes the duty Of the party in power to
see that members returned as elected truly
represent a majority CT voters in their sew
eral districts White supremacy must be
maintained, if a. all, by meth DIS which do
not fill the House with members who repre-
sent minorities of legal voters. At least
minority member should snow that the
voters who did not vote might have voted
if they had so wished: The House has I'M
seated several;members who had majority
of; the votes counted and returned. But in
all these cases there was evidences of fraud
to produce such results. The Federal Elec-
ton Bill, which the Senate failed to pass,
was designed to prevent the kind of frauds
by which the unseated members obtained
their apparent majority. A Federal law
authorizing the supervision of Congress
sional elections is better way to correct
admitted evils than the exercise OF the right
of the House to unseat members whose
election has been obtained by fraud, and it
is probable that by the time another Con-
gressional year comes around such law
will be in force

MUNICIPAL: AND LEGISLATIVE
=. -. :. TICKETS.

r Conventions will soon be held in this city
to nominate candidates for municipal Offices
and members of the. Legislature. The State
Canvass WILDE mUchinluenced by the nomi-
nations these two. conventions may make.
The Legislative conventions should bear in
mind that there may be Buckley Republi-
cans as well as Buckley Democrats. In
other words Republicans may be nominated
who wfllyote with Buckley on all except
political measures. A number of Republic
can mem bers of the. last Legislature were as
serviceable to Buckley asany of the Demo-
Gratis, They voted for all the appropriations
for which the Democratic boss is now being
scored by both parties. No Republican
aspirant for the Legislature who served
Buckley in 1SS9.should:be PLACED upon the
Republican Legislative ticket. The Repub-
lican State Contention refused to indorse
the administration of Governor Waterman
mainly because he failed to check the ex-
travagance of the Legislature. What can
be said then of a Republican Legislative
convention which places in nomination men
WHO voted for the measures. which Water
man is condemned for approving? The
Republican Municipal: Convention will have
to consider some strongly supported schemes
for so-called public. Improvements. 1t is
understood now that there is purpose,
which, however, may be. held in allegiance,
to submit to they voters a proposition to issue
bonds to obtain money to open certain
streets from their. present terminus to the
Pacific Ocean. The Republican Convention
will do we'll to steer clear :of,all such propo-
sitions: twill notbe at all difficult for the.
promoters of this scheme to throw this city
completely in the hands of Buckley. The
Republicans should construct. platform
and.uominate a ticket that will command
every vote in the party. 49,.

THE FAMINE IN IRELAND:


! The leading English papers are not giving
the. people Of the United States much credit
f6rtheir contributions to the portion of the
Irish people who are represented as on ee
verge of starvation. in, consequence of the
failure Of the potato crop. The London
Times intimates that there is no danger of
famine in Ireland, and also intimates that
the object of Americans in making contribu-
.tions is to gain the Irish vote 1t is not clear
; how Americans as people are to profit by
the Irishyote. If efforts to relieve distress
were limited 10 the members of one party it
might fairly be said that hope to win Irish
yves was the motive. But TO the American
voter, or to American voters, assistance is a
matter of charity. The Times complains
that the American relief movement ignores
the existence of England, its Government
and its people. There is some ground for
this complaint In past years when famine
has come to the Irish people England has
permitted relief to come from America. The
amount needed to keep the wolf from the
door has not been beyond the means of the
English people, but they have seemed quite
willing to let assistance come from abroad.
When Government or people conspicu-
ously fails to. act in an emergency it is in
,udH6Ci VI 'bciuB iSuulcu WHEN d .ellnlldT
emergency again occurs. Except when
charity touches the vanity of people it
seEyesto bring nations and communities to-
getheT. The.effect Of, tie generous contri-
buttons made BY the Northern States when
South Carolina was stricken by series Of
earthquakes has never been effaeed. When
any community is overwhelmed y calam-
ity beyond: its means Of relief its heart goes
out to those. who come to its rescue. We do
not know why the English should prove an
exception.
There is a lesson for Americans in these
Irish famines. The union between England
and Ireland has established free trade be-
tween the two countries. precisely as the
union of the American States has established
free. trade among those States. Ireland
has been forced by lack Of capital and ina
bility to compete with English manufactur-
ers tO-depend mainly upon agriculture for
. general living expenses. In most parts Of
ireland farming is almost the sole occupa-
tion of the people. II Ireland had been at
liberty to protect its manufactures in the
competition with English manufactures it
might have had varied industries which
would feed the people when crops failed.

SPREAD OF TIE PhYLLoXERA.

A late report Of James II. Smith, United
States Commercial Agent at Mayence, in
Germany, contains some useful information
touching the spread of the phylloxera i'll
Europe. II win be remembered that the
decline in the ravages of the pest in France
in 1889 was followed, this year, by so wide a
revival of its activity that The French wine
growers have been profoundly discouraged,
and doubts have been cast on the efficacy of
substituting American resistant stock for
the diseased plants. Several departments
which had previously escaped have lately
been assaulted and the vineyards ruined and
in others, the vines ~.Gch were grated on
resistant stock have not prospered. Alto
gether, the outlook of the wine industry in
FRANCE is dark. Mr.. Smith reports that
careful examination reveals the presence of
the phylloxera in large focks in other
countries as well, as in Algiers, Spain. Portu-
gal, Italy, Austria and Hungary; and it does
not appear that anywhere, except in Aigers,
are systematic efforts being made to check
their spread.
In North Germany, the stringent laws
adopted few years since-to which The
CALL drew the attention OF our Legislature
at the time they were enacied-appear to
have measnrably accomplished their purpose.
The pest has been nearly extermnated in
the vineyards on the Rhine; it is making no
progress save in Saxony, where its existence
was only lately discovered.
Some Germans have faith in patent rem
edy-which is sulfo-carbonic acid mixed
with petroleum. The roots Of diseased vines
are soaked with this compound, and the
vineyard in which they grow is girdled with
a ditch, of which the bottom is covered with
the same liquid. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that the remedy kits the vines as well
as the insects. But they can be replaced,
and il the phylloXera are thoroughly exter-
minated the new vines will thrive. II is
also believed in part Of Germany that much
may be accomplished toward DISCRIMINATING
the pest by submergng the vineyards with
water, but the belief rests on evidence which
is far from complete.
The Legislature OF California, though
constantly urged to act in the matter, has
never undertaken seriously TO DO battle with
the phylloxera. Yet the insect is known to
have done much mischief in Sonoma, Napa,
San Joaquin and other counties. One rea-
son why no legislation has been secured is
that it should rest on the report of COM
mission charged with the duty of denouncng
the existence of the pest, and vine-growers,
with schemes for the sale Of their property

THE MAJORITY MUSE RULE.

One: Of the issues now before the country
is that Of the right of majority to rule within
constitutional limits. The Democrats take
the negative of this question and the Repub-
licans the affirmative. The rules of the
House were adopted to carry out that prin-
ciple. Before each election the parties go
before the country with certain issues. The
party that elects majority of the two
Houses Of Congress is expected to carry out
its promises. But minority says that I'M
less it can keep quorum OF its own MEM
bers in the House the measures which the
majority is pledged TO. carry out shall not

divided and the members of one party are
determined to defeat a measure, the practi-
cal impossibility of keeping majority of
