WE ARE assured that the new vine
yards in Orange county are growing
finely, showing no signs whatever of the
disease that was 60 fatal to the old vines
@! .,.sat locality. All the old vineyards
were dug up several years ago and ,nany
new ones Put out in their stead. In the
vicinity Of Orange, where .he finest table
and raisin grapes in this section were
raised, the new vines, come of which
are three years old, are filed with fine
clusters OF fruit, and the promise Of the
crop this year is very encouraging. Not
sign OF the fatal disease that destroyed
the old vines is now apparent, and the
grape growers ara confident that the
malady, whatever it was, has worn itsel
out. 1t is strange that none of the many
specialists in entomology and vine dis
ease have ever discovered the real cause
of this strange malady. They generally
seem to think that it was caused by at
mospheric infection, because they have
never been able to trace it to microscopic
insects.

India, and to the possible passage OF q
free coinage bill by the American con-
grefs. 1t would indeed be seri-
GUS thing. for the British East
India merchant If q single gold
standard we're enforced In India, but
the whole influence OF the English
government would be exerted to pre-
vent such an outcome OF the Bengalese
discomfort. The favorable trade rela-
tions of England with India are due to
the fact that silver rupee will buy the
same amount of wheat there no matter
how low the price of silver may 60 in
the London market. And it 10 OF course
by operation of the cost of wheat in sill
yer in India to the British corn mer-
chant that he is enabled to fix the price
of California wheat in the Englieh mar
ket, that price determining the value oi
wheat in this country as well as in all
others. 1t will thus be seen how our
farmers are affected by the silvor policy
of Great Britain in its power, through
India, to regulate the price of wheat
everywhere.

We ARE assured by high tariff jour
mails that American coal is rapidly dis
placing English coal in the West Indies
and the island of Cuba. This informa-
tion is given for the purpose OF showing
Democrats that even if the rs cents per
ton duty were taken off, Great Britain
could not compete in the markets of the
United States with English coal. Ad.
mitting the truth of this, and what
follows? That the tariff men are actu-
ally enabling the coal barons to levy a
tax OF rs cents per ton on American
consumers. This Is one of the cases in
which there is absolutely no excuse for
the Republican policy OF protection, ex-
cept to carry out the manifest desirs of
that party to legislate in favor of the
banded monopolists.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-06

THE extraordinary number Of bur-
glaries committed recently in this city il
decidedly alarming. The fact that none
of them have resulted in benefting the
thieves materially does not lessen the
gravity of the situation. nor is the ar
rest of one offender, while this particu-
lar crime continues to be a nightly oc-
currence, reassuring. The situation
seems to lend color to the assertion often
made by the police authorities, that the
force is too small for the size Of the city
and the interests it is expected to
guard. ss

ONE of the most frightful calamities
we have had to record in years bas just
happened at Titusville and Oil City, in
the Pennsylvania oil region. The creek
at that point swellei out of its banks by
q cloudburst, flooded the city. Then
came an explosion of gasoline. followed
by a stream Of floating oil on the waters
of the creek catching fire and carrying
destruction in its wake. A whole ward
of Titusville was wiped out by fire, and
great many of the inhabitants of both
that and Oil City were either drowned
or burned to death, and many were in
jured. This terrible disaster will take
its place alongside of the great Johns
town food Of three years ago, which des-
troyed the town snd resulted in an un-
pIecedented loss Of life.

REPUBLICAN papers have no time now

CARTRIDGES are protected by duty

CARTRIDGES are protected by duty
of As per cent, but American cartridges
are cheaper in Canada than on the Nc
Kinley side of the border. The editor
and proprietor of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean is vice-president Of the Ameri-
can protective tariff league, but he does
not close his eyes to facts, notwithstand-
ing. He says that the cartridge trust is
the "meanest trust in the United
States," and adds:
just look at it. Four concerns, pro-
tected by a stiff tariff against foreign
competition, combine and crush out and
buy out all competitors in this country,
and then compel every American con-
sumner to pay them rs per cent more for
goods than Canadian has to pay in
Canada or Mexican in Mexico. This
is protection with vengeance; protec-
tion to what might easily be styled
wholesale robbery.
The editor OF the Inter-Ocean ia right,
and it is this kind of legalized robbery
that pervades the Mckinley tariff, and
is arousing the American people to q
pitch OF Indignation that will sweep the
party responsible for the outrage from
power. Binding twine, which is prin-
cipally used by farmers, is protected by
a duty of seven-tenths OF cent per
pound, yet the trust that is thus pro-
tected sells its manufacture cheaper in
Canada than in the United States. The
people OF this country are pigeons for
every thieving trust to pluck but other
countries can buy what we pay extor-
tionate prices for, at reasonable cost
The statesmanship that legalizes this
robbery of its own people to enrich
great capital combinations cannot long
impose upon country Of intelligent
beings.

MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1892.

IT is as difficult to get accurate news
OF the flow of water into the Salton
basin on the Colorado desert, as if il
was in the center of Africa. Dispatches
one day announce that the desert is
being inundated and the next some
other desert sharp says the region is as
dry as the funny column in the Times.
Only one point about the matter appears
to be settled and that is that the over
flow is not of a permanent character.

II THE stranger in our midst wants

If THE stranger in our midst wants to
see stretch OF country which presentsa a
picture of the most lush abundance of
all kinds of growths, from the legum-
inous supplies Of the kitchen to the
luscious fruits of the orchard and cereals
of the field, let him make tour of the
Cahuenga foothills and then visit the
farms and ranches that lie below them
and that stretch away to the sea. He
will find here in epitome an ensemplar Of
the matchless productive possibilities of
the whole country OF which Los Angeles
is the commercial center. He can then
figure upon the inevitable progress to be
made in few years by this favored
region. 1t is not long since Los
Angeles was an importer of vegetables,
potatoes and nearly oil the fruits ex-
cepting oranges and grapes. She now
exports thousands of tons of potatoes to
the east every year. Vegetables of all
kinds are supplied to western cities from
this valley, and from the wheat raised
here we make enough flour to supply
the markets of Arizona and New
Mexico as we'll as the population
OF Southern California. In 1875
wheat was frat planted in this
valley on a large scale. Before that the
only wheat raised in this county was on
the Ramirez ranch, which is now
Whittier and it's environs. There was
not enough raised to supply a single
small mill. We now have two of the
largest mills in the state constantly in
operation from the wheat raised in this
valley.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-06

The fisheries of this coast are destined
to become an industry of immense i'm
portance when we shall engage in them
with view to availing ourselves OF the
exhaustless supply and great variety Of
the finnv tribes in our waters. There is
40 better food fish to be found anywhere
than the barracuda, and this tooth
come denizen of the deep abounds on
our coast in great shoals at this time OF
year. Within the pastfew years num-
Der of banks have been discovered off
Santa Monica and the Alamitos where
fine variety OF halibut is caught. in
great quantities. An intelligent
fisherman who has been sup
plying this market with all
kinds of fish for several
years, assures us that we are only on
the threshold of knowledge of the great
wealth of fish we have in our waters.
He says that he is making new dis
coveries constantly in the prosecution of
his business, and that his study of the
habits and peculiarities OF the fnny
tribe in these waters is leading to more
important results every day. The null
let, which is choice food fish, swarms
into the indentations and estuaries OF
this coast at seasons in such quantities
that thousands OF tons OF them could be
csught and cured for distant markets
every year. Our adjacent island waters
and the shadows of our coast are alive
with sardines and fat anchovies at GER
tain seasons of the year, and as we are
about to raise our own olive oil it may
be conceived what chance is here
offered for the building up of very val
liable industry.
