OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Review of the Wheat, Flour and Barley
Trade for 1891.
an Interesting Paper Compiled for the
State Board of Agriculture by
I. c. Friedlander.

AT the request of the State Board of
Agriculture, T. G. Friedlander, Secretary
of the San Francisco Produce Exchange,
has transmitted to that body very valua-
-ble and interesting paper relating to the
trade in wheat, flour and barley during
the year 1891, which will be incorporated
IN the boards annual report.
The year of 1891. says Secretary Fried
lander, was essentially a "bull" year in
the wheat trade, and the prices obtained
at tide water bring forcibly to mind the
era prior to 1880, when our farmers con-
bidered 81 75 only fair price for the pro-
duct of their wheat fields. Could such
figures as we have seen during the past
twelve months be current for one or two
years, orchards and vineyards would be
Dlowed up and the one idea of the Califor-
MIA farmer would again be wheat, and
nothing but wheat.
For the ten years prior TO 1880 the aver
age price during such period obtained by
our farmers at tide water was 81 80 per
Cental-the result of this figure is shown
in the constantly increasing crops culmi-
mating in that Of 1880, when for the first
time prices sought the level which has
been current for the past seven years.
The same influences that were at work
N California were at work throughout
the world, and the difference in values
between the two periods amounted in the
English market to about SIS per ton, as
against $40 per ton in the San Francisco
market. The difference between the SIS
and $40 can be wholly accounted for by
The decline in principally ocean freights,
and also to smaller extent in insurance
and commissions, so that the farmers Of
California have virtually been able to lay
their wheat down in England for about
IS per ton cheaper than they could in the
period from 1870 to 1876 There is then
but an actual difference in the two eras
under review to our farmers of, say $40
per ton, and this difference is more APP
parent than real. The saving to the
farmer is estimated as follows:

WAND to Come Together.

There is a feeling of uneasiness on the
part of the Democratic members in the
house over the condition of business in the
house, and there is disposition to get to-
gether and agree upon a programme.
AT present the members are simply drifting
along and it is desired to bring order
out of the confusion which prevails. The
silver question is the most disturbing ele-
ment. Tariff bills and regular annual ap-
preparation bills will soon demand great
deal of attention, and it is agreed
there must shortly come a
time when the programme of business
for some months to come must be settled if
anything is to be accomplished. The alb
sence of Catching has delayed the meeting
of the rules committee for some Jays past,
and the health of the speaker has made it
necessary he should seek respite from
public affairs, while the house is
temporarily in recess on account Of
the visit of number of the members to
Chicago Meanwhile call for caucus
has been issued. This call has been pre-
scented TO Holman, chairman of the caucus,
and as it has the requisite number Of
names call will be issued by
Holman. It is probable the whole
Democratic policy will be considered
at the caucus and programme Of action be
outlined as far as possible. The silver men,
including Bland, all say they have no inten-
ton to antagonize the tariff and other
measures, but they will not consent that
the tariff and other measures shall be used
to prevent the consideration OF the silver

notifications or amendments OF
existing laws and regulations govern
ing admission of second-class matter
and insuring against loss by the govern
ment of parties sending registered matter;
the question of more rapid TRANSFORMATION
of mails between depots and postofices and
postoffices and stations of large cities.
Consideration of measures looking toEsthe
improvement and extension of the special
deli very system.
Consideration of charge for money orders
and the propriety of any amend
ment to existing laws and regulations
governing the same; the advisability
of establishing branch Of the dead letter
Office at San Francisco or some other point
on the Pacific slope, the question of a
closer separation on the various railway

There has been another romantic mar
rage in the family of Chief Justice Mel
vile w. Fuller of the supreme court OF the
United States. He has eight daughters,
and four of them have married either con-
trary to his wishes or in such way cs to
create the impression that all of the Misses

fairs. Miss Mary, the eldest daughter, is
the latest victim of that sly little rogue,
Cupid, and the happy bridegroom is Colin

of South Carolina Young Manning came
to Washington several years ago to act
as private secretary to Senator NJ. E
Butler, OF South Carolina, and at the same
time take the law course at the Georgetown
University. He at once became popular in
society circles, and at the instance Of the
breckenridge family, of Kentucky, was
introduced to the daughters of Chief Justice
Fuller
L was soon apparent to all who knew
him in Washington that he was deeply in
love with Miss Mary Fuller. This safec-
ton was reciprocated. and they made nc

Opinions on the Alice Verdict.

Special 10 the GazeJIe.
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 20.-The revulsion of
feeling succeeding the verdict in the Alice
murder case is stronger even than was at
first noticed. Many of the most intelligent
people in the city regard 1t as an
unmixed calamity, one that will result in
injury to the state. Disregarding the
bubbles of lawyers and technicalities OF
evidence, they look at the bare fact that
Bowen's slayer went armed with an armed
friend at his heels into the car where his
victim sat, knowing he was there and that
a collision was inevitable. They look
upon that as evidence of u pre-
meditated purpose to provoke
shooting scrape, in which ne was far more
expert than the editor. If he desired, say
they, to avoid eullision, he could easily
enough have kept out of Bowen's. way,
could have entered another car II he meant
TO go somewhere.
A very intelligent gentleman from South
Texas taking about the verdict, said that
it was a terrible blow to his section. 1t
told the world that a desperate
may go about shooting down people like
dogs and q jury cannot be found TO punish
him for it t'When,n said he, Bowen was
shot last summer, a friend of mine had sold
lot of land down south TO some investors
from the north. The title had not passed
when the train came rafting into Cotulla
with Bowen's body riddled with bullets.
Instantly the purchasers took fright
and backed out of their trade, saying that
they did not care to own property and live
in a country where human life was held
so cheap
The fidelity of AIee's friends is shown
by the fact that they have put up several
thousands dollars to rescue him and Lyons
from this scrape. 1t will cost them and AL
lee in the nsighborhood of $4,000, as
hear, and the state perhaps as much more,
here at Austin, to say nothing Of the trial

New YorI..s state Convention.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 20-The Demo-
cratic state convention meets here Monday.
The Tammany braves will arrive to-mor-
row; and everything points to large as
sembly of politicians Monday. Hotel and
boarding house facilities are being in
creased.
Preparations have been made for holding
what will probably be an opposition con-
vention. The leaders Of the Cooper Union
movement have hired hall on State street
and in this place will meet the committee
of fifty from Brooklyn and New York, and
about fifty more protestants against an early
convention from other parts OF the state.
Their proceedings, it is expected, will be
conducted Just the same as those of q con-
veution. AS the state committee meets at
10 O'Clock Monday morning, the professionals
will get together before that hour and ap-
point committees, which will draft resolu-
tions OF protest and present to the state
committee. Some of their friends who are
delegates to the regular convention, will
also be asked to present these resolutions
TO the whole body of delegates. The $50
will then await in the hall an answer from
the Harmanus Bleekercam. It is likely
they will get tired before the answer comes
for the regular leaders are not inclined to
recognize them in any way. Some timerous
ones believe plot is broaching
to cause discord in that convention
itself. If the resolutions offered by the
anti-Hill delegate are rejected they believe
these men may refuse to take any further
part in the proceedings and walk out of the
hall in q body and join the opposition in

not known. Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller did
not look with entire favor upon young Man
ming as prospective son-in-law. They knew
him to be member of an estimable South
Carolina family, but they probably thought
he had not made sufficient progress up the
ladder Of fame and prosperity: They also
recalled the fact that one of their daugh-
tiers, who participated in an elopement,
might have made more desirable choice in
selecting a husband.
In spite of the mild but determined oppo-
sition on the part of the young ladies'
parents, young Manning continued his at
tention to Miss Mary, until it was thought
sent to Berlin to finish her
musical education. All of the
chief Justices daughters are more
or less accomplished in musical
and literary affairs. 1t was thought abb
sence might make the heart OF the young
lady grow fonder of some one else. So she
went abroad to take musical course at one
of the famous conseryasories at Berlin. In
the meantime the young folks kept up
constant correspondence and never for a
moment allowed their love to grow cold.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Manning went
abroad and joined Miss Fuller. About the
same time Mrs. Fuller learned that her
daughters health was not good, so she
also went to Berlin, with the intention of
in Italy, so the story goes. Mr..
Manning met Mrs. Fuller and her
daughter and without delay induced the
young lady to marry him. When Mrs.
Fuller learned what had occurred she ex-
pressed her surprise and disappointment,
but finally gave them her blessing, and,
after attending the wedding. Immediately
started homeward, leaving the young
couple to spend their honeymoon in Europe
and come back to America at their sweet

Bennigsen, maintained policy OF union
with the FreisiniZe party against the issue
as a whole Another section supports
Miguel, minister Of finance, in his
endeavor to arrange compro-
mise with the advocates OF the
bill. Won Bennigsen's enemies assert he IS
actuated by a feeling of animosity toward
the cabinet, because ne did
not receive the ministerial
post which he coveted, and in rela-
ton to which many promises
have been made to him. Miguel. it
is said, will surrender his principles
in order to obtain the position Of

he will change his course. In

pointing it at the teacher, he said
if she struck him again he
would shoot her After a slight
struggle the teacher succeeded in taking
the revolver from the boy, who was dis
charged. A canvass of the school was
made and thirteen boys of tender age were
found who own revolvers and who were
accustomed to carry them at different
times. Three of the boys continually go
armed
