FREsNo'S RAlsIN COMBINE.
An Unsatisfactory Report Made b,
One Committee.

FRESNO. Sept. 1.-THE directors of the
raisin combine met to-day and had three
sessions. The committee on cars and acre
age reported that so per cent of the output
required to control the market has not vet
been obtained, though the deficiency is
small. The report was referred back to
the committee in the hope that by the next
meeting the required acreage will be OBJ
tanned.
The packers have not yet put up their
checks in business shape, bu: the members
of the combine profess to be firm in the
conviction that it will hold together. In
consequence of the shortage of raisins the
desirability of advancing the combines
prices all around is being con sidered. Mr..
Taylor of Kings County was admitted as

The dishonesty of such juggling must

that In the present instance the offenders

States is the only enlightened citizen in

made that the President is surely entitled

A cablegram from Cork has conveyed
from Richard Croker regrets that the law
Of libel Is 90 lax In this country that he
cannot bring satisfactory criminal suit
against the newspapers that have been tell
ing the truth about him and his followers.
Mr.. Croker Ii furthermore quoted as say
ing that the English libel law is far su-
perior to ours in the matter of severity. and
Is therefore much more admirable from his
standpoint This concession by such a con-
sistent anti-En glish asitator as Mr.. Croker
has been will doubtless be pleasing to Great
Britain's legislative and judicial forces and
will, Of course, be the cause Of much sor-
row on this side Of the Atlantic. But in
spite Of this alleged weakness In the mat
ter Of libel law in the United States, 1t is
hardly probable that Mr.. Croker will de-
eide to forsake US and take up his residence
in England for that reason. A careful COM
parison Of English and American law will
show that legal punishments Of all sorts are
more severe in the old country than in this
land, so that. when all things are consid-
cred. Mr.. Croker cannot but prefer the
United States as place Of residence. Had

Municipal corruption. the like of which has
