A STRIKING CONTRAST.

Whilst the whole state has suffered
more or less from the strike. this Sec
ton has not begun to feel the evil effects
of the suspension CT the trains in like
MEASURE with the northern part of the
state. II came right at the time when
the fruit growers of the north were
ready to ship their matured deciduous
crop to the east, and lasted long enough
to bring serious disaster upon this great
and important interest. Before the
roads were opened immense quantities
OF the crop had persisted, and the effects
OF the loss were not only Immediately
felt by the orchardists. but ramified
into all classes of business depending
upon the success of fruit raisers. We
were more fortunate in this section Of
our state. Our orange crop had been
all sent east before the strike COM
menced, and the drying season Of our
deciduous fruit growers had not COM
menced. The trains had resumed oper-
market their crops, go that We have not
begun to suffer like our friends at the
north from the great railway tie'up.
Times are not ss lively with US here
as We would like; but the complaints
about the depression in business in San
Francisco are loud, long and universal.
One of the largest collection houses in
that city complains that it was never be-
fore SO difficult to collect the monthly
rentals OF its customers as 1t is now.
Some OF the best renters hsve to be csr-
ried in part. and even the most finely
located stores are compelled to fall be-
hind. Ii this is the case in business To-
calities. we may Judge what the stress
must be among the working classes,
when everything conspires to reduce the
chances for steady employment. San
Francisco always has a very large num-
Der OF enforced idle people in her midst;
but never before were the ranks OF the
seekers for work go swollen as they are
now. Business in Oakland and Sacra-
mento has been practically dead for over
q month, and the distress in the fruit
regions, especially Vaca valley and New
castle, is pitisble. The wheat crop OF
the great valleys, too, are short, and
the prices unprscedentedly low.
When we make q careful review of the
industrial and business conditions OF
the state north OF Merced cornty, and
contrast it with the healthy snd ever
buoyant condition OF affairs hereaway,
we ought to be satisfied that our lines
are cast in Southern California. Whilst
we may not GO through the terrible year
OF 1894 with the exubsrsnt prosperity
we could wish, yet we shall come out
OF it in excellent shape, and, instead OF
stagnation and retrogression we shall
psss through the ordeal the whole
country ia now experiencing, with q de-
gree OF prosperous progression that
ought to make US well satisfied. Los
Angeles city has never for a moment
yielded to the hard times. Her busi-
ness has kept Oh increasing, and from
turning out new buildings at the rate of
four per day in 1898, she has averaged
five new houses per day in 1891.

ARE Democrat. esseptiallv inferior TO

ARE Democrats essentially inferior to
other members OF the community 1t
is questionable whether Republican
would say SO except in joke. But the
Democrats hersabouts. who have been
either elected or appointed to Office,
either locally or nationally, insultingly
proclaim this fact by making nearly all
their appointees Republicans. In this
respect they follow the example of the
great Grover st Washington, who keeps
myriads of Republicans in Office. Thie
proposition is principally of interest to
Democrats. Republicans can endure the
situation with great eauanimity. Their
OK lie not gored.

ing sensational in the statement that
Assistant Secretary Hamlin has been
designated by the president to act for
the coming six months as secretary of
the treasury in the absence Of Secretary
Carlisle from the department. The de-
signation OF Hamlin to act as secretary
is in continuation of the custom which
has prevailed in the treasury depart
ment ever since Carlisle had been sec
retary. Each of the three assistants
serve in their capacity for half-year
in rotation, and as acting secretary,
they sign all papers of a routine char
acter, thus relieving the secretary Of
this onorous duty.

believes 1t should be built and controll-

that 1t would open new markets for our
