The Standard. colored Republican
organ of Baltimore. says "these old,
moss backed, bourbonized Democrats
are afraid of the Negro. and the least
hint on this line is sufficient To cause
them to tremble like leaf. We are
not in this fight for supremacy, but for
equal advantages in the public schools. >

FRUIT WILL YIELD HEAVILY.
Big Returns From the Orchards Are
Insured by the Heavy
DoWnpOur,

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 27.-The rains
now prevailing will be beneficial to crops
of all kinds here. Hay and grain crops
will be fully up to the average, but there is
comparatively little of that class of farm
ing in this county. 1t is certain here will
be an average crop of peaches, but the APP
ricots will not exceed 80 per cent of last
years crop.
Up to eight or ten days ago confidence
was felt that the crop of prunes this season
would be abundant, but now reports from
all directions in the valley are to the effect
that considerable young fruit is dropping
in many orchards, so that the trees will
not produce more than last year, while in
other directions there is prospect for a
crop equal to that of 1893. The prune crop
will not be an average for the entire valley.
This, however, means more than last year,
and will insure enough to keep open the
channels of trade even though the French
product may not be as large as in 1898 or
1894 by several millions of pounds.
