In 1890 General Hastings defeated for the nom,

NEW TO THE TIMES.
The Visalia Times says:

Inc NlSaila 11HeS says:
The city papers are advocating the building
OF the Stockton aud Bakersfield railroad, and
it begins TO look as If il would be constructed
The Visalia Board Of Trade should be engaged
now in gathering statistics which will show the
amount of business a road would do If the same
were run between the main line of the Sou hern
Pacific and the east side branch from Fresno
south through Visaiia and by Woodville. Now
Is the time TO move in The matter.
The San Joaquin papers have been a
little slow in coming to the conclusion that
San Francisco will make the necessary
con ributious to the Stockton and Bakers
field road. but the work of the canvassing
committee Of the Traffic Association is
producing its natural effect. For a long
lime our people talked and acted as though
the Traffic Association were asking for a
gift. The people perceive now. however,
that they are invited TO contribute t0stock
worth a great deal more than its face
value within three years. Such invest
ments unat ended with risk do not often
present themselves. But the keen est in
yestor cannot discover a weak point in this
investment. Its security. like that of a
growing city whose ability for getting in to
debt is limited by Its organic law, will be-
come more solid each year. Nothing but a
convulsion of values can undermine it.
The present pr, spects are that the bulk of
the stock will be taken in this State, thus
saving the drain the plyment Of divlden ds
10 non-residents would cause.

WORDS OF CHEER.

The interior press is more inclined to in
dorse the Non-Partisan movement this
year than in 1892. The idea is gaining
ground that man may be good Republi-
can or good Democrat in his relation to
national politics and still ignore national
politics when acting in municipal affairs.
The fact that The Non-P artisans made
selection for Mayor in 1892 which the Re-
publicans accept as their candidate in 1894
ms Tres the Benicia Ne1c Era to saw:
l.. Z. Ellert, the incumbent, has been renomi-
mated for The mayoraliy of San Francisco. this
time by ihe Republicans, and indorsed by tbe
Non-Partlsans 1t was the latter party. with
the able advocacy OF THE CALL, that placed
Ebert In the honorable position he now holds
His record in this trying place has been a clean
aud upright one, ana San Franciscans could do
no better than to confer upon him The honor of
a re-eieclion.
Mayor Elert was nominated this year
by the Non-Partisans and indor5ed by the
Republicans. The Burns convention ac
cepted him, not as their choice, but as the
best that could be done under the crcum-
stances. Mr.. Ellert would without doubt
have been elected by the Non-Partisans,
but the Republican Endorsement renders
his election as certain as the result of an
election can well be.

MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP.

1t is three weeks 10 election day. A
great deal can be done in that time; a
great deal must be done if the result is to
be done for the public good. The previous
work has been that of criticism and Sc lee
tion. 1t was essential because a Non
Partisan movement could afford to present
only the best ard known to be the
best men to the suffrages of the people.
Having no political machine to run it's
candidates into Office it must depend upon
the self-interest. business sense and civic
virtue of the community for its support
That part of the movement has been
successfully accomplished. The ticket is
one of the best ever made up in San Fran
cisco. The platform is as uneXception-
able as those who stand before it. Now
the job is to elect this ticket and put this
platform in practical operation in the ad-
Einistration of municipal business. The
time for criticism is past Now, what is
needed is the shoulder to the wheel and a
vigorous ana united movement to shove
the car of progress on the rails and send it
spinning along the track through the COM
ing years.
1t cannot be too often reiterated that
the main effort must be to elect the inde-
pendent candidates on the Non-Paltisan
ticket. The indorsed candidates will take
care of themselves. or rather their political
friends and their non-political indorsers
will take care of them jointly. But the
independent candidates must be depend
ent upon the independent vote alone.
There never was better opportunity for
the citizen to exercise to good effect his
'inalienable right of scratching" TT
would be not only a Non-Partisan success
but valuable business advertisement for
Sau Francisco if it can show the rest of
the country that it has the moral fiber and
practical sense 10 throw aside all partisan
Establishments for the sake Of making a
sweep of its city officials in the cause of
clean government and material progress.

THE FRUIT INDUSTRY.

Conflicting accounts reach US from large
fruit districts. Some people begin to say
of this industry, as they have said OF wool
and wheat, that there is no money in the
business. Different people. however, attach
different meanings to the term mo money.
Some people con tend that a business which
affords a comfortable living for family
and few hundred a year for savings in an
average year is worth having. Others do
not see money in any business which does
not return snug fortune in at most five
years. The following paragraph from the
Sacramento Bee is suggestive:
In the early part of the present fruit season
the Bee, among Others, urged that fruit. growers
prepare themselves dry their fruit so that in
the event OF gutted markets their crops would
still have a value for them. Very few took
such precautions, however, and there are but
few who have not lost Oh fruit this year.
There is no industry which will run itself.
If fruit-growers will not make reasonable
provision against local and temporary
glut in the market they should not blame
the business for such losses as they may
sustain. The difference between loss and
profit lies In many cases in making pro-
vision to avoid marketing a crnp at its
lowest quotations. Fresh fruit must be
sold as soon as it is ripe. but fruit canned
or dried will keep the year round. The
lowest prices double almost every year In
the course of the year. There is also
considerable loss on fresh fruit for which
there is no market at all. In all parts of
the State the labor is at hand to convert
fresh fruit into dried or canned. The former
process requires but little capital and will
h, Il r.,,ftt hi
cess by which fruit may be saved. In our
interior exchanges we notice frequent
mention Of the purchase of fruit lands
by incorporated companies. 1t Is held
that 800 or 1000 acres properly laid out
can be worked more cheaply than or
chards of 10 and 20 acres. The Visala
Delta records the incorporation of the
''Deciduons Fruit and Land Company"
with its principal place of business
in Los Angeles. The Las Plumas Or
chard Company is shortly 10 be ineOr-
porated, with its principal place of busi-
ness in San Francisco. The Los Angeles
company owns 200 acres. the Las Plumas
about 500. the latter near Exeter, in
Tulare County. There are other compa-
MES getting ready to incorporate and cul-
tivate fruit as large manufacturing ent T.
prses are conducted. 1t is probable,
however, that the small orchard will in
the end absorb the greater part of the
fruit land of the State. The small orchard
gives the owner chance to utilize his
own labor and that of his family. He can
add to the value of raw fruit the cost Of
putting il into an imperishable cond ton
without other outlay than his own aud
his family's work, ard thus materially in
crease the money value OF his product.
But the small orehardist should make
himself master of his business and spare
no labor that copduces to success
The morning call., 1894-10-16
REGISTRATION.

Under our present law voters may regis
ter at the City Hall on the great register
or at places selected by the Election Com
missoners in the several precincts. 1t is
question if this choice of opportunity
does not result 10 more harm than good.
The precinct registry was provided os ten
sibly to save voters the trouble Of a trip TO
the City Hall. but it too often serves as
kind of recruiting station where the armies
of the bosses may be sworn in. man
who gets his name on the register has
prima facis right to vote. and consequently
challengers must be prepared to prove
that he got his name On the register by
fraud.
A local article in Mondays CALL repre-
sents the powers in charge of precinct
work as disnclined to let the public know
the names of men selected to supervise
precinct registration. II is in the selection
of unscrupalous precinct officials that the
bosses, IL disposed, stuff the register. 1t is
in these precinct registers that the timer
ant voter places himself In a position to
offset the vote of citizens and taxpayers.
The tinerant is not, as a rule, content
with one vote, til rough not entitled to one.
With new name for each precinct, his
duplication Of his fraudulent self is lin
tied only by his industry. 1t follows tha:
precinct officials should be men of char
acter. intelligence and courage, with a
reasonable personal acquaintance in the
precinct in which they serve. The serv-
ice should be rather honorable than profit
able. Most men would rather contribute
TO the compensation of some other conpe-
tent person., but the work may be ac-
cepted, like jury duty. for tie good of the
public. As the names OF persons who will
act in this capacity in the several precincts
are not generally known, good citizens
cannot do the public better service than
by keeping watch on proceedings. The
presence of two or three men well known
in precinct will cause the itinerant voter
to give such precinct wide berth. The
penalty for false registration is term in
the penitent tary, and the current prices
for votes do not warrant much risk.
