SANTA ANA, Oct. 5.-It was very
small crowd that filed into Niell's hall
last night to listen to the words of wis
dom that were to fall from the lips of
Judge Cheney and E. G. Seymour. They
didn't fall, however, for only about 30
disciples of the Republican party were
there, and the judge evidently didn't
feel like talking to 60 many. Seymour
did, though, for the little man from San
"Berdoon" would talk to fence if he
couldo't talk to anything else, and 80 he
talked. He told the people that he
wasn't "all that was vile and corrupt IN
manhood," and that he had never had
to try the Kelley cure. Then
he tried to tell something new
about the tariff, but it was 10 go. He
didn't know anything. He explained,
to the satisfaction of himself at least,
why it was that the Temescal tin mines
had been closed, and said he had fig
ured out there was tin enough in the
San Bernardino mountains to supply the
civilized world with that necessary arti-
Gle for over 1000 years yet to come. Just
how he reached this conclusion or now
he got his figures we could not quite un-
derstsnd, but perhaps it is because we
are stupid. After considerable talk on
minor subjects, the little sheriff of San
Bernardino county said that he would
not mind being state senator. There
have been poor meetings here, but this
was about the poorest ever held in the
state.
FEEL BAD.
OF course Santa Anans feel bad over
the defeat of Silkwood. 1t is only nat
ural that they should, and besides the
people who went up to the races to bet
on Silkwood are minus some good coin
of the realm today. There are those
who cay the horse was drugged some
who think the three other drivers were
pooled against him; and others who
think Our Dick is the fastest horse. The
heaviest loosers on the Santa Ana horse
are doing the least talking, and as they
cit and think over what they could
have done with the money they lost on
the races. they are reminded of the fact
that one cannot always tell just which
horse wins. About $4,000 of Santa Ana
money stayed up at Los Angeles after
the sports came home, but in few
days this city will have completely re-
covered from the shock.
ORANGE couNTY's OUTLOOK.
Business of all kinds is good in all
pats of Orange county. Real estate
transfers betoken a revival of old-time
prosperity, and prices of real estate are
good. With the completion of the Bolsa
drainage ditch and the San Joaquin
ranch irrigation system, $4,000 acres of
land will soon be brought into the high
eet state of cultivation. A beet sugar
factory at Anaheim, possibility of the
establishment of another in this city,
and other improvements OF minor i'm
portance-the outlook is encouraging.
There will be in the next two years at
least 1000 acres of new vineyards come
into bearing, and the wineries, which
have been shut down since the ravages
of the vine disease played such havoc in
this county, will all be at work again.
Crops OF all kinds have been fairly good
this season, although the barley yield
was lighter than usual, on account of
the dryness of the season. Outside of
this all other crops are fully up to the
average yield.
The growing of deciduous fruits in
this county is fast assuming large pro-
portions. The apricot crop alone sold
for $125 900, and all these fruits are be-
ing successfully grown. The establish
ment of fruit cannery here would ma
terially aid in pushing forward this in-
dustry. The mines in the county are
also looking up, and taking everything
into consideration, and the fact that
this county now has 100000 in her treas
ury and not dollar of debt, the future
looks bright.
SANTA ANA BREvITIEs.
There is but one inmate in the coun-
ty Jail, and the city prison stands with
it's door wide open, and has not had an

Special trains will be run to the races
in Los Angeles Saturday, and large

money, however, as there are those
here who vow they will never bet on a
horse race again.
"Billy" Williams is billed to give the
people of Santa Ana tax on Repub-
