BURTHE IN THE TOLLS.
The Principal Witness Against
Jury Bribers Is Caughl.


ST. LOUIS, May 29.-Leonce Burthe.
the principal, and in fact the only wit
ness against the jury bribers in the
case growing out of the Malta trials in
New Orleans, was arrested in East st.
Louis, ILL.,, this afternoon, and is now in
Jail in that city. He arrived here We'd
nesday and registered at the Moser
hotel, but discovered that he was being
watched and gave the detective the slip.
This morning cousin of the fugitive
called at the Moser for his valiSe, and
the cousin was Shadowed to East st.
Louis, where the officer made the arrest
When taken to the station the following
telegram, dated New Orleans, and ad-
dressed to William. Mason, Burthe's
cousin, was found:
''Tell my son to leave the state of
Missouri Immediately and go to another
state. Advance him $50 and draw on
me for the same. LOUIS BURTUE."
When seen by reporter, Mr.. Bu.the
said: "When the Hennessey murder
case was on trial l was drawn on the
panel. Before l was examined and re-
jected f. Armandt approached me and
said that l would get $1,000 if l got on
the jury and found the Italians not
guilty. [ told him I would do moth
ing of the kind. After the
trial l told Mr. Parkerson and
afterward told him that Edgar White,
the deputy sheriff, had threatened to
kill me if testified against his friend
Amandt. Yes, l was afraid and left
New Orleans and got 1000" But he
seemed TO realize that he was telling too
muce and in the next breath said that
he left New Orleans of his own free
will. ''lf | testify against those two
men it will be because [ am compelled
to. There was no reason for my leav-
ing New Orleans except to save these
two men," 1t is not known whether or
not he will go back without reauisition
papers. The only charges on which he
can be taken back are contempt of court
or cOmpouDding a felony,

A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

The Farmers Alliance three Congress men
are going East to enter upon campaign OF
education. They will commence at the
Hub and send rays of light in every di-
rection from that center of political dark
ness. The Boston people sOlace themselves
in their hour of humiliation by the thought
that desire Oh the part Of the Alliance men
to get hold Of some Boston money is the real
cause of the movement. The basis for this
view of the case is found in the fact that
Boston capitalists have given notice 10 their
agents that loans in the States where the
Alliance prcdomnates are not To be ex-
tended and that no new business VIII be
undertaken. There is a good deal of hope
in such an interchange of views as will fol-
low the lectures of the Alliance representa-
tives at Boston. At the basis of every pOlit-
zeal movement ever started in the United
States there has been much that was wise
and good. Wel-meaning men have taken
this solid basis and often, without a close
appreciation of consequences, have grated
upon it schemes that were visionary if not
actually vicious. In a campaign of educa-
ton, such as the Alliance proposes to in
auguratP, the friction of discussion will
wear off the false and leave the true. All
parties and all sections will be better for the
interchange of views A natural reaction
from the gold standard 50 firmly held by the
East is the fat money theories of the South
and West. Feeling in every branch of bust
ness the need of larger basis of credit than
gold supplies, the Alliance has sought
remedy in measures which the experience of
the world condemns. Irredeemable paper
currency has always led to financial con-
fusion. The Alliance is already in doubt as
to the wisdom of that part of their platform.
Under the influence Of the camp ligu of ecu
cation, many who now cling to the idea that
money can be manufactured out of nothing
will see the error of this view. Still. this
delusion is but an eXaggeratiOn in an OPP
poste direction of the Eastern notion that
one-half the worlds money may be taken
from the whole stock without harmful re-
suits. 1t is not necessary to determine
which theory is the more wild-the manu-
facture of money out of nothing or the
destruction of one-half the metallic money
in the world.

TIE pOLLAR LIMIT DID IT.

A contemporary which is opposed to the
dollar limit except for Il short period just
before elections describes a visit Of the
Daughters of the Good Shepherd to the City
and County Hospital, and represents the
officials in charge as saying that they could
not get the money! to do any better The
hospital had Oyerdrawn its account by
$1,000 the present year. The simple fact of
an overdrawn account does not mean any
thing in particular. The money appro-
priated to the support of the hospital may
have been nearly expended and it may have
not, In this case we do not express an
opinion. From all accounts the hospital is
not a pleasant place for sick persons, but
whether the appropriation is inadequate or
the administration inefficient remains to be
seen. The habit of attributing every short
coming to the dollar limit is becoming

Sacramento, Placer, Butte, Tehama,
Y Olo San Joaquin and some other counties
will be inclined to dispute figuring which
only allows them all combined So, IA acres
in bearing vines. There is obvious inaccu-
racy here.
The census divides the grape-growing
district of California into three districts
the coast district, which grows the finest
descriptions of red and white dry wines;
The foohill district, which succeeds best
with table grapes and sweet wines, and the
southern district, comprising all the coun-
ties south of San Joaquin, which succeeds
best with raisns, ports, sherries, sweet
wines and brandes. There is a substratum
of truth in this division. But it is not alb
solutely true. Thus far, most of the best
clarets ana rieslings produced in California
have been grown in Napa, Sonoma, Ala
media and Santa Clara. But it is not sale
to award them the palm for the present.
Mr. West will not probably acquieSce in the
assertion that San Joaquin is behind the
coast counties in dry wines. AS TO the
ports and sherrieS which. according to the
Census Bulletin, are grown with marked
success in the southern counties, the sue
cess has not been generally observed in this
State. 1t viii! probably come by and by;
but it has not arrived yet
The figures of production given by the
Census Bulletin do not tally with the esti-
mates OF the trade. The Bulletin reckons
that the wine crop OF this State in 1890 was
Il, GIG, eco gallons, OF which 100000 gallons
were produced in Napa, 1,736, SEQ in SonOma,
2.544 000 in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz, Co.,
Geo in Alameda, ,2OO, 600 in Fresno and 49,
Geo in San Bernardino. The general Opiu-
ion here is that the crop OF 1890 was nearer
100000 gallons than 14,G26. eco. and that
the yield Of Alameda County. for instance.
was far larger than the census allows That
authority estimates that of the total wine
crop 100000 gallons were consumed in the
United States, and about $40, 600 gallons eX-
ported TO foreign countries. This would
leave a surplus carried over to 1891 of over
100000 gallons 1t is not always possible
to keep track of the movement Of wine
overland and by steamer and sailing ship.
But the best judges figure that of the whole
wine crop, some 100000 gallons are con-
sumed on this Coast, and nearly 100000
gallons shipped either to the East or to for
eign ports, the balance being distilled into
brandy.

can people is not as large as is generally

of dry wines from abroad averages about
3,5C0GGO gallons; add to this some 5000, eco
gallons from California, and it is found that
the 60,000,000 people who live on the other
side of the range consume not over $780,

some small supply from Ohio. Missouri and

BIAIETALLISH.

The Portland Oreg0Rin sums up the
argument against bimetallism in the follow
ing:
There is no such thing as bmetallc cur
reucy with independent free coinage and fun
lega,-endeT gu lily for both metals, of whatever
ratio of value. fluctuations in relative value
are constant. One metal is sure TO fall below
The other soon or lae aud drive it out of circula
tion or 10 a premium. Tie only blmetallIsm pos
sbe is that in which tie cheaper coinage is lin
tied IN ex ent and sustained upon the other by
being made inle chaneeabe with il. This is the
him Ia ilism OF France and OF tie United States
so far ; not by Law. but by wise administration.
In spite of this assertion Jimetalic cur
rency with INDEPENDENT free coinage and
full legal-tender quantity for both metals
did exist during more than eighty years of
our history There were periods when one
metal was higher in the market than the
other in the established ratio, and during
such periods the cheaper Of the two was
chiefly employed. Both were full legal
tenders and served as the basis of paper
currency, but when paper was presented at
a solvent bank payment would be made
in the cheaper of the two kinds of money.
In a little time the increased use of the
etfaper money and the consequent partial
df5use Of the deaTer caused the cheaper
metal to rise in the market 1t is generally
admitted by gold advocates that an interna-
tional agreement of sufficient magnitude
would give any reasonable ratio of value be-
tween the two metals degree OF steadipess
which would keep both IN use as the basis
of credit, Under such an arrangement any
nation entering into it could meet demands
against it with coin Of either metal without
prejudice to is financial standing, AS yet
it has seemed impossible to effect such an
arrangement. The principal commercial
countries of Europe prefer to stagger along
under a system of finance which renders the
failure of an individual source of national
alarm

THE CENSUS ON WINE.

1t is difficult to decide the value of the
Census Bulletin on grape-growing in Cali
fornia. or whether it has any value at all.
Charity suggests that an allowance should
be made for misprints in the dispatches
which purport to convey its meaning. In
one place we are told that the average yield
of grapes per acre is seventeen tons, while
in another place it is given at III tons. 1t
is hard to see how such gross misstatements
could be mere msprints. In another place,
we are told that the average market value
of grapes per ton is 81 &C. How this re-
suit was reached it is puzzle to discover.
The fine Muscatel and some other table
grapes command fancy prices; but are
there enough of them grown to raise
the average OF the ordinary wine grapes to
S17 Go?
Taking the Census Bulletins statements
for what they may be worth, we find that
the total area in bearing vines is 155,272
apraS This area is distributed as follows .

SIGNS OF HOPE.

Several Democratic journals Of New York
have disc used Governor HIPS refusal to
honor a requisition from the Governor Of
Connecticut without party bias. Governor
Hill planted himself upon the ground that
Judge Morris was the rIghtfu Governor, is
Governor de jure. and the acting Governor
so far as he is permitted to be. The Com
merCtal Advertiser asks the Governor why,
if Judge Morris is Governor, or if Judge
Morris thought himself Governor, he had
not also sent in requisition. In that case
Governor Hill, with his reduisition before
him, might exercise his judgment as to
which of the two was from the rightful
Governor Of Connecticut. But Judge Morris
did not send requIsition. He knows that as
yet but one branch of the Legislature has
declared him duly elected, and is too good
4 lawyer to assume the duties OF the Office
without the authority the Constitution re-
quires. Governor Hill appears to have made
the Dlunder of his life.

THE BANKERS CONVENTION.

The Bankers Convention recently held at
Los Angeles expressed eminently sound
views on most financial problems. The pa
per on silver read by Mr.. Murray does not,
however. seem to measure the full import
ance OF the question. Why asked Mr..
Murray, should the great mass of the people
be forced TO buy this silver produced mostly
by two or three States at a price above its
real value in the markets of the world?
Making market for the products of silver
mines is the least important of tile reasons
why the United States should do all in its
power to remonetize silver. The opposite
policy means long period of declining val
ues. during which debts will increase ia pro-
portion to the increase in the purchasing
power of money. Ii there were no motives
behind the silver agitation stronger than one
TO increase the market price of a product it
would have died away long ago.

MUST WAIT ONE YEAR.

Among the good acts of the present Leg
isluture is an amendment to the code requir-
ing years residence in this State as con-
dition of commencing an action for divorce.
The time of residence as the law now fixes
it is none too long. 1t will probably serve
to prevent unhappy husbands or wives
from coming to this State for the sole object
of getting divorce. 1t is not good for
State to be known as a good place to go
either to get married or TO get divorced.
Reasonable precautions should be taken to
protect the married conditions both at the
door of entrance and exit. New States are
apt to distinguish themselves by giving I'M
usual facilities in the way of getting mar
ried and in the way of getting unmarried.
A little enforced reflection at the door of en-
trance often saves an application at the door
of exit

BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS.

For once the English press has commented
on an American event with a full compre-
hension of its true significance. This is the
more remarkable from its contrast with the
tone of the Continental press. A Govern
ment with a standing army at its back is not
tolerant of any Irregular action by the peo-
pie. The safety in most desDotic countries
lies in the fact that the people do not know
their power. Such manifestations as were
N AIDE in New Orleans would, if permitted
to pass unpunishe1, set the continent of
Europe in blaze. Here they have but one
meaning, and that was expressed by the
Pan Mall Gazette when it said: "The
citizens Of New Orleans, finding that the
jury did not do its duty, said: We must by
one means or by another put crime down -
The London !StdT adds in a similar tone /:
Here the champions of law and order
would stand aghast at such proceedings.
