A SIMPLE RUsE.

The robbery of railroad train was
averted in Colorado the other night under
peculiar and instructive circumstances.
The robbers committed the blunder of
leaving the express-car attached to the
main train when they cut the train in two
and took the forward part ahead q short
distance. The pluck and presence of mind
displayed by the mail clerk, whose car the
robbers had in hand, prevented the footing
of that car, and while he was advising
them to return and attack the express-car
they observed that the lights in the train
were being extinguished. This was suffi-
cient to alarm them, and they took to the
brush.
The main point in the transaction is the
effect produced by the putting out of the
lights. We can imagine what might nat
urally result from this simple act under
any circumstances. Assume, first, that
the train had not been cut in two, and that
the robbers intended to rob the passengers
as well as the mail and express cars. That
has been a frequent occurrence of late in
the far West. A sudden extinguishment
of all the lights in the train would neces-
sarily place the robbers at great disad-
vantage, as they would be outside and ex
posed while all the persons inside would
be in complete darkness and free to act on
the defensive. Even if the passengers
should not come to the assistance of the
trainmen these latter, considering the great
advantage of their position, would have an
excellent chance to drive the robbers away.
Or assume that the express and mail cars
should be cut off and taken ahead. The
purpose of such move is solely to reduce
the number of train-defenders, as it leaves
the conductor and brakemen behind, and
it is not generally resorted to ii the attack
ing party numbe more than three. The
putting out of the lights in such case
would not be so effective, for dynamite is
generally at hand with which to force an
opening, and the number OF men in the
car is known. This means to say that the
robbers are aware of their advantage on
the score of numbers. 1t would seem that
to meet such contingency the plan of
making up train should contemplate the
placing of the valuable cars in such posi-
ton as to insure the presence of passen-
ger-cars before and behind them, however
the train may be cut, and then bring to
bear the terrifying plan of extinguishing
the lights in the entire train.
1t would be merely a matter of mechan-
ical ingenuity to devise plan for extin-
gushing the lights with one simple move
ment by any member of the trains crew
preferably the engineer or fireman, as the
engine is necessarily the first part of the
train captured. The use of portable gas
appliance would make such an arr ange-
ment n matter of great simDlicity 1t
woald be pity if the Colorado incident
should not be accepted as hint by rail-
road com panies.

THE ANAHEIM DISEASE.

The mysterious disease which has ap-
peared in certain vineyards of the State,
and vaguely called the ''Anaheim disease"
because it was first observed in the vine
yards of Anaheim, is rousing great deal
of discussion and exciting some alarm. In
advance of any thorough scientific ex-
animation it is useless to discuss it, further
than to suggest that in all likelihood it
will be found to be well-known disease
and amenable to intelligent treatment for
its eradication. The orchardists and vine
yardists of California have been so many
times alarmed over the appearance of some
new disease or pest, and in every instance
these evils have SO promptly yielded to
treatment, that there is no reason for
alarm in the present instance.
For the reason that they are SO fine the
grapes permitted by peculiar climate to
be grown in California fall under the opera
ton of the familiar law that very highly
bred plants and animals are more liable to
disease than the hardy kinds, which lie
nearer to their primitive source and natural
conditions. In the case of grapes, for
instance, we are familiar with the fact that
the native vines of California are immune
against phylloxera, the deadliest enemy OF
fine grapes, and that the budding OF the
fine and tender grapes into the native
stock is an infallible preventive of this
pest.
We may be perfectly sure that whatever
tendency delicate imported plant of any
kind may develop for disease or insectiv-
orous attack is evidence solely of an inhe-
rent weakness and not of any local eli.
matte condition. On the contrary, all the
analogies point to the conclusion that
these inherent weaknesses must and do
operate with less force here than in other
parts of the world, and it is reasonable
conclusion that in time these tendencies
will disappear entirely. The extreme
hardihood of indigenous animal and vege-
table life in California, and the very re-
markably beneficial effects which resi-
dence here has on ailing human beings,
give indubitable proof that the peculiar
qualities of the climate do have the invig-
Grating effect which reason leads us to ex-
pect.
The elements contributing to this condi
ton may not yet be fully understood, be-
cause they are so new and unexpected that
they present an entirely novel field for ex-
ploration and study. Recurring to the
grape it does not appear difficult to find
the reasons why the vines here are SO
much more luxuriant in growth and pro-
life in fruit than in the European coun-
tries from which we have imported them,
and from this simple fact we are justified
in drawing the most hopeful conclusions.
AS yet Californians themselves do not I'M
derstand their State, but as the eagerness
and determination to learn have never
been so great as at present we shall expect
the incoming decade to be the richest in
discovery that we have ever experienced.

COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.

The company which is building an cleo
trio road from Oakland to the Livermore
Valley is having an easy time in securing
right of way. The owners of the rich
farms in the valley are coming forward
with generous offers, and thus the problem
of the road is greatly simplified. The pro-
jectors of the electric road from San Jose
to AIviso have in these facts an object les
son for the property-owners along that
route, and the property-owners have q
worthy example set them by the Liver
more Valley.
For short independent lines, and as
freight and passenger feeders of main rail-
way lines, the electric road has distinct
advantages over steam road. These are
much lower cost for construction and OPP
Grafton, the more frequent running of
cars and the ease with which stops can be
made at any point for the accommodation
of way traffic. Entailing a smaller cost
for construction they can be made more
numerous, ard hence the task of opening
up new regions is made easier. An impor-
tant feature of them is the fact that prop
erty-owners along the route can afford to
construct them and enjoy their benefits.
distribution of the enhancement which it
brings TO the values of wayside property.
This is because it can stop anywhere and
therefore does not tend to concentrate set
Elements and raise property values there
without bringing similar benefit to other
properties along the route. Hence the
electric road is particularly valuable to
California, which by the nature of its
agricultural pursuits must be State of
small farms. The whole course of such
road in an agricultural community will
tend to develop into continuous series of
orchards and vineyards, and each house,
for traffic purposes, will be depot.
For these reasons it is clearly to the in
terest of landowners to encourage all such
enterprises by granting the right of way.
1t would be better still if they would con-
struct and operate their own community
lines. The rapid development of water
power in the foothill regions gives those

SONG OF THE EARLY RAIN.

Oh, there's nothing in all Nature that the poet
loves to bless
Like the showers that swing the seasons-sweet
springtime's fond caress;
But the rain of early autumn that steals from out
the sky
Is blessing that the farmers would like better by
and by.
With a tinkle and patter and a misty sheet OF
wet,
The early rains upon us like an avalanche Of
debt.
It's smashing through the cutters and soaking
down the walk;
It's cut September sunshine like blossoms from the
stalk.
There are raisins out a-soaklng, and prunes in
the food,
While luscious grapes are splitting IN vineyards
deep with mud
Whole fields OF grain are lowly, and the chickens
fold their tails
At the thought of what may happen II the farmers
best crop fails.
Oh, there's nothing in all Nature that the poet
loves to bless,
Like the showers that swing the seasons-sweet
springtime's fond caress;
But the rain of early autumn-why did you come
so soon?
For the farmer thinks your patter Is a most dis
cordant tune. SEDGwICK AIKEN.

ing Democratic organ of the Pacific Coast
explains many things that have been mys-
terious IN our politics. If denouncing the
Democratic tariff helps Democracy we can
understand why so many Democrats in
the Senate and House denounced it; why
Cleveland, calling it the outcome of ''per-
fidy and dishonor," refused to sign it, and
why the Examiner has not infrequently
taken occasion to rip UP the back either
the tariff itself or the leaders who were and
are respon sible for it, All of these things,
from Clevefand's letter to Catchings down
to Wilson S fiery protest against the Senate
BILL were done, we are to suppose. solely
to help the Democratic party in Ohio.
We are not sufficiently familiar with the
Democratic situation to know whether
this kind of thing is really helpful or not.
To sick man bitter medicines are good,
and it is occasionally considered advisable
to help dying donkey by lick on the
head that relieves him of his misery.
Whether it be helpful or not, however,
condemnation of the deficit tariff is q
medicine that Democracy must take. and
popular reputation of it is blow that
Democracy must stand. The tariff is
offensive in every way. 1t unjustlv dis
eliminates against some industries in the
interest OF others. and it yields neither
adequate protection to worKingmen nor a
sufficient revenue to the Nation.
It was the popular Indignation against
this Ubiquitous tariff that influenced the
great tidal wave of Republican success last
year, and it is the same force that will
carry Republicans into power next year.
Those who are deluding themselves that
Democracy will be aided by the fight
against the tariff of "perfdy and dis
honor" will find q rude awakening on
election day. The Republican party is
pledged to the maintenance OF tariff that
will afford protection to all American in
dustries that need it and q revenue
sufficient for all the requirements of
the Nation. That tariff it will enact
as soon as it returns to power.
Mckinley and Foraker are telling
the people of Ohio nothing more
than familiar truths when they make
these pledges. When the deficit gold
borrowing administration goes out of
office the tariff that has caused the deficit
and the increase of debt will go with it.
