THE umbrella trust, organize ed in New York in 1892, with an authorized capital of SS ,0O0. .OOO, has passed into the hands of A receiver. with debts placed at s1 200. 900 and assets estimated at one half that figure. The wholesome and reassuring feature of the collapse was the admission of counsel for the trust that the element of individual effort was essential to success in the management Of the business proposition which might safely have re- ceived broader application. The Phila- delphia Record commenting on the mat ter says: The laws of congress have thus far been inert in their effect upon trusts; but, happily. economic forces sooner or later get sweep at them, and, as in the case of the umbrella trust, they are wiped out of existence.

 Los ANGELES, July 1l.-Therc has been much improvement in machinery for wine making in California since the vine was first planted by the frinrs more than a cen tury ago, but the wine is not so good. The grapes and the soil arc us favorable to the production of good wine us ever, but tho great and increasing demand in tho east and in Europe for California wines not only leads to their adulteration, but the producers do not allow 1t to age" which is necessary to good wine, as n flavor is only developed through slow changes of time. Some manufacturers of today attempt to produce this result by giving the wine n "bath'-immersing the bottles of wine in hot water, which causes it to appear as old wine, but no artificial process can give 1t tho pure bouquet" that is given by time. When wines werc made only for homo consumption, the white wine was slowed away in cellars, the bottles be- tween layers of sand, as to keep it cool. Here they remained for five and six and sometimes eight years. In those days cv- cry rancher made his own wine. Each mis- sion had its own winery, and those who were too poor to grow n few acres of grapes and set up crude distillery borrowed from their neighbors. There was no export trade in California wines until several years after the American occupation. A Frenchman named Vigncs planted n vine yard and began to make wine for cxporta ton to tho states" His vineyard, then in the suburbs of Los Angeles pueblo, 1: now overgrown with brick houses. 9th CTS followed, and the demand for Califor mia wines became so great that the bcst l white wine was exported within thrc' years, and wine ''s years old" was mad, ik one year.
 | Methods of AduIteratIon. Some of the wincmakcrs tried tn, French method of adulterating by reduc ing the quantity of grapes and intruduc ing n certain amount of sugar and water but they soon learned that this was los ing business, as the grapes were vcr! l abundant, and tho large, luscious Whit Mission and Blue Mission varieties yicldc, from % to 25 per cent of sugar, and cOnsc | quently they lost money on tho sugar the. had purchased for collaboration.
 Then they resortcd to another expCri ment, evidently devoting mOrc of thci energy to schemes to deceive the win drinkcr than to raise the manufacture | the highest standards. After the grapC had been run through the press and mad

REPREsESTATIvE BLAND proposes to put the newly-found friendship for silver, which so many republicans are protesting, to the test. by getting hIs bill for the free coinage of silver reported from this house coinage committee, if he can manage to get quorum of the committee who are favorable to the bill together soon. Ow- ing to the absence of members and the nearness of the close of the session the chances afe against MT Bland's succeeding. Another thing that adds to the chances against him is that considerable number of members of the house. many of them democrats, are strongly opposed to any further agitation of the silver question al this time. and still more opposed to the taking of a record vote on the Bland bill.

HE must be a queer sort of a democrat who can get any satisfaction out of the present tariff situation. The report of a general disagreement on the result of nearly two weeks work on the part of the house and senate conferers certainly does not look encouraging. although some of the gloom is lifted by the knowledge that while tLe disagreement is, for reasons satis- factory 10 the conf. rees reported to be gen. erai, it is in fact only over some half a dozen of the senate amendments, includ- ing sugar, coal and iron ore, the house | conferees insisting that they should go on | the free list, as in the ilson bill and the senate conferees, that they shall remain as passed by the senate. It Is not clear just at this time what the outcome is to be, but We cannot believe that the democrats in congress will be willing to carry the di j. l agreement to the extent of allowing the Mckinley law to remain in force, as Is now being jubillntly predicted by the re- publicans. IL would be better If the con- ferees after anoth.r attempt fail to reach an agreement to call in some prominent l democrats from the outside and let then | arbitrate. The democratic party has promised the country a tariff law and il will be suicidal for the democrats in con | ,rre-s +0 fail to Eaan that promisa
