CANNON'S BUNcOMBE

Marion Cannon ranted and raved and
swore and swore again, while he was a
candidate for Congress, that he would, if
elected, Immediately pass free silver bill
and get an appropriation for San Pedro
Harbor.
Mr.. Cannon kept his silver promises by
voting against free silver and has helped
San Pedro by talk His recent claim that
he procured the insertion of the much
talked of $40 900 appropriation for the
'inner harbor' in the last general appro-
priation bill turns out to be absolutely
baseless, as the members of both the
House and Senate conference committees
state over their own signatures that its
insertion was a mistake made by q clerk
in the war department, and that even if it
had been allowed to remain in the bill it
would have imperative. Cannon not only
wrongfully claimed to have been the father
OF the $40, 900 appropriation, but by innu-
endo attempts to saddle the blame of its
being stricken out on Senator White.
The latter gentleman position in favor
of San Pedro has always been unequivo-
cal, and when the proper time comes he
will undoubtedly take the necessary S cps
to secure the appropriation to carry on
the great work so much needed and de-
sired by the people OF Southern Califor-
mia. Cannon has turned out to be very
small popgun.

RIvEasIDE's BIG SHOWING
RIVERSIDE PRESS.

The present year will demonstrate again
the wonderful productiveness of the Rv-
erside orchards. From present appear
ances our people will this year receive an
amount yariously estimated from 81, 500,
600 to 81, COO, 900. That our readers abroad
may not think we are talking loosely or
eXtravagantly, nor basing our figures upon
eXtravagant prices, we will give the
figures which prove the reasona6leness OF
our estimate. The Exchange people
reckoned the amount OF fruit under their
control early in the season at 2300 car
loads, which now appears to have been an
underestimate. The other shippers claim
five or six hundred carloads. Taking the
smaller figure, this would make the total
amount, without counting the lemons,
2700 carloads. This would be 769, 500
boxes. More than one-half of this is
Navels and other late budded fruit, which
will unquestonably bring an average
price considerably exceeding ~ per box,
and the balance will bring an average
gross price not much below this figure.
The income from the lemon crop, ut any
rate, may be depended upon to furnish an
amount equal to what the seedlings may
fall below this estimate. Taking, th en-,
w I. o. b. as an average price we have The
sum OF 81, 539, 900 as the gross income OF
Riverside this season. We will throw III
for good measure the by no means small
amount obtained for dried fruit, raisins,
alfalfa and farm products.
For the benefit of those people who have
in recent years seemed disposed to fool
themselves with the notion that River
side is a back number, and liable to be
displaced from her position at the head
of the orange growing sections, we will
quote the assessors fgures-which, as
everybody knows, are considerably under
the truth-to show that this crop comes
from 379, 1872 bearing orange and lemon
trees, and that we have in this district
1,043, 76l in orchard. As the third of these
trees now in bearing furnishes in an off
year like the present such an income,
what may not be looked for when the two
thirds not yet yielding shall add their
quota in a good year? 1t will be seen that
Riverside is beyond all question as clearly
the center OF the orange growing industry
OF California as is Fresno at the head OF
the raisin making. The massing of such
business in one valley, in years when
crops are large and prices lower than at
present, is an advantage worth good deal
to those who engage in it. Even at the
smaller prices anticipated in years OF
great production the aggregate must al
ways be such as to make this the wealth.
lest fruit section in the world.
Between 81, 800 900 and $4,000 900 will
flow into Riverside this year from the sales
of her fruit product. That is fact that
deserves the attention of those who ques-
ton her wonderful advantages for bust
ness or home making.

THE SPECTATOR.

Not till life's heat has cooled
The headlong rush slowed to a qui t pace,
And every purblind passion that had ruled
Our noisier years, at last,
Spurs us in vain, and, weary OF the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
Ali not till all the best of life seems past
Tho best of life begins
To toll for only fame,
Hand-clappings and tho fckl, gusts OF praise
For place or power or gold to gild name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, wher. to lose our days.
We, on whose cars YOUTHS passing bell has
tolled,
In blowing bubbles, even as children do.
Forgetting we grow old
But the world widens when
Such hope Of trivial gain that ruled us lies
Broken among our childhood's toys, for then
We win to self-coutroll
And mail ourselves in manhood,a land there rise
Upon us from .he vast and wndloss height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto the soul
What stars arc to the night.

A Vision of Justice
JAMES G. CLARK

see mighty feast outspread,
Where gilded lords their honors wear:
The banquet king sits at their head;
The guests are drunk on vintage rare;
And far below on every side,
No more by cringing fear subdued,
And murmuring like rising tide
Isee countless multitude.
As rivers to the ocean roll
All tongues and races join the throng
One purpose burning in each soul.
And on their lips single song;
One common cause, one flag unfurled
They kneel to neither kin nor clan;
Their country is the round, wide world:
Their creed the brotherhood of man,
Tho feast goes on; the proud rajoi ce:
They hear sound of distant waves;
They think it but the torrents voice
Comp aiming through the highland
caves;
1t is no mountain stream that leaps
Rebellious Of its rocky bands;
tits the lifting of the deeps,
The sinking of the ancient lands
Resstless as the pulse of doom,
The ocean swings from shore to shore:
And frightened kings fit through the
gloom,
Like stars that fall to rise no more.
The high sea-walls OF caste are gone;
The pent-up floods their chains have
burst;
The toilers face the golden dawn
The first are last, the Inst are first
The Old goes down, the New ascends;
Its sunny isles in glory rise;
A rainbow DER tho dcluge bends,
And Labors curse dissolves aud dies;
The gods of gold no more hold sway;
The people bow to truth alone,
And He whose voice the tides obey
Remains forever with His own.
