WATTERsON's PROPHECY.

Henry Watterson has joined the number
of those who believe the existing political
divisions among the people of this coun-
try cannot long continue and that sooner or
later the conservative elements of all
parties will have to combine in order to
maintain the established institutions of
the country and transmit them in their
original strength and purity to the next
generation.
Mr.. Watterson bases his argument upon
the assumption that the Republicans when
they come into power will be as powerless
TO control the extreme elements of the party
as were the Democrats. This is of course
an error, for among Republicans there is
no such body of cranks as Democracy
gathered up in its thirty years wandering
in the wilderness of opposition, and there
fore there viii be no great difficulty for the
Republican majority in Congress to act
together on all questions of Importance.
Despite the error of his premise, however,
the conclusions of the vigorous Kentuckian
are interesting and not little instructive
from the light they throw on the aspect OF
the political situation as seen from the
standpoi Mt OF a Bourbon Democrat.
Mr.. Watterson says: 1.-THE needs of the
time will SO reveal the inadequacy OF the
professional politicians-ofthem men who are
in politics for what they can make out of
it-as to drive to the front in such food
of light that all good men may see in it the
great issue OF good money against bad
money, OF orderly government against
agrarian government, and when this time
comes all minor matters of sectional inter-
est and sentimental prejudice will be sent
to the rear, while patriotic and enlight-
ened men, regardless Of party antecedents,
will be forced into that great channel at
the terminus OF which stands-has stood
always and will stand always-like a
marble temple, the free fabric of republi-
can government as it was designed by the
men who fought the battles OF the Revolu-
ton and framed the constitution of the
United States"
This is both eloquent and good. The
channel into which Mr.. Watterson foresees
all intelligent conservative men will be
forced to move in order TO make front
against those who would warp the nation
away from the constitution is, of course,
the Republican party. 1t was not named
as such in his article, but it was too well
described to be mistaken. The channel is
open to all men who have such clear eyes
to see it, and Mr.. Watterson will be well
come when he comes in.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

The pralseworthy and successfully effort
of the State Board of Trade to have Gov
ernor Budd call a meeting of the Super
visors of all the counties of the State for
the purpose of taking action to make a
worthy display at the Atlanta Fair has
brought this staid old organization into
notice. 1t had not been heard of in
the recent conspicuous movements for
lettering the general condition of the
State. However, when we take into con-
slderation the heavy expense required
to maintain it and the high character and
ability of the men who compose its board
of directors it is right to assume that it all
along has been working earnestly and
efficiently for the good of the State.
The display of California products made
at the rooms OF the board constitutes one
of the most interesting sights of the City.
In addition to the fine display which it
has maintained for several years, it secured
a very large number of valuable exhibits
from the Midwinter Fair. And still the
people of the City take hardly any interest

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

DR.. N. Rowe, editor of the American Field, is
staying at the Palace for q. few days. He has
been on the coast for several weeks for the
benefit of his health. The American Field,
which is published in New York and Chicago,
is sportsman's paper deVoted to fishing and
shooting.
DR.. Rowe, in speaking of those sports in
California last evening, said: 1.-THE sportsmen
OF California don't appreciate the advantages
they have. There can be no doubt whatever
that you have the best shooting and fishing
here that there is in the United States. Where
can you find preserve equal to that of the
Country Club here within few miles of the
City? Ii / had that preserve within 300 miles
of New York / should not want any better in
come than that from club membership. Yet
the sportsmen here have got to adopt proper
measures for the protection OF game or it win
disappear as it has in the States along the
Mississippi. 1t is not many years since Illinois
was one OF the most wonderful districts for
game in the world, and then Minnesota and
Iowa. See how depleted they have become
through the failure to take proper measures to
protect the game"

EASTERN HOME.sEEKERs.

1t is generally asserted by the Eastern
press that the movement OF population
westward across the Mississippi Valley has
reached the limit under existing con-
ditions. Indeed, some declare the move
ment has already passed the true limit and
that settlements have been made too far
in the arid region for profitable farming
without irrigation. Hence it follows that
the drift of home-seekers hereafter must
be either to the South or to the Pacific
Coast, and if is in these sections, therefore,
the greatest progress and development will
be made during the coming decade.
These ideas seem to be well founded.
The droughts and disasters in Western Kan
sas and Western Nebraska during the last
two years go far to confirm the theory that
the successful cultivation OF those lands
must wait until extensive systems of irri-
CATION have been devised or until all the
better lands in the Union have been taken
up. What has been asserted in this regard
by the Eastern press may be accepted as g
fairly accurate expression of the opinions
OF Eastern people. 1t is, therefore, 10 the
Pacific Slope and to the Southern States
that young men, investors and home seek
ers, are looking for places in which to
settle and make homes for themselves.
The Pacific Coast offers to the intelligent
classes OF the East many inducements su-
perior to those OF the Southern States. 1t
has better climate, more fertile soil, a
more liberal population, broader system
OF education, a more intelligent labor and
a social organization more congenial to
people of the Northern States. 1t will not
do for US, however, to expect these induce
ments to be sufficient to draw population
to Us without energy on our part in max
ing them known. The South is much
nearer to the big markets of the country
than we are. It has cheaper land and a
greater wealth in coal, timber and iron.
Moreover, the Southern railroads, cities
and States are eagerly at work trying to
attract settlers from all parts OF the Union.
We must meet this energy on their part
by at least an equal energy on ours, if we
would Ill the coming decade receive our
due proportion of the land-seekers from
the more thickly settled States.
Three opportunities for engaging in the
work of education in regard to the indus
tries of the State are now before us. These
are to be found in the Atlanta Exposition,
the Mechanics exhibit in this City and the
State Fair. OF these the State Fair is, per-
haps, the most important. So far as the
State is concerned it will certainly be the
most comprehensive and therefore the
most instructive. If cordially supported
by all producers of the State it can be made
an object lesson that will convince every
visitor OF the superiority of California over
all rivals, and by helping to make home
market for home industries and attracting
the attention of strangers to the great
variety of our resources, will go far to
hasten and augment the development
which we have so much reason to expect
in the next ten years.

SCHEEL JOINS THE FOLD.
The Musicians Union Will AL
low Him to Conduct
Once Again.
Half the Money Is Paid, and the
Note VIII Be Given
To-Day.

This afternoon will see Fritz Scheel re-
instated as member in good standing of
the Musicians Union. He will be able
soon again to conduct the park band and
nothing will hinder him from making con-
tracts with Ritter, Roderman and all the
rest of his soloists for the Mechanics Fair.
It was the Mechanics Fair contract, or
rather the fear of losing it, that decided
Scheel not to kick any longer against the
ricks. When the National Council of
the Musicians Union condemned Scheel
to pay the S1132 claimed by his Vienna
Prater men the conductor was wroth, and
declared that he would rather never raise
baton than satisfy what he denounced
as an unjust claim. There was q good deal
of brave talk about some of the best SOLO
lists in the union seeding, in order to play
with Scheel at the Mechanics Fair but
when it was announced that non-union
men would not be eligible for the contract
the conductor saw that he would be forced
to surrender or else pine mute and inglori-
ous-for what is a conductor without q
band?
The Mechanics Fair contract was worth
going back to the union for, so Scheel
agreed to pay half the S1132 down and to
give a promissory note, payable in three
months, for the other bali. These terms
were accepted and yesterday L. N. Ritzau
the most devoted of all Scheels hench-
men, paid $566 into the treasury of the
Musicians Uuion, as Scheel himself was
not possessed Of the amount. To-day the
promissory note, Endorsed to the satisfac-
ton of the union, will be given to the Sec
rotary, and that formality having been
complied with Scheel will be at liberty to
conduct as of .yore.
The Leaders, friends believe that the
money is as sure to be returned as if it
were only being deposited in reliable
bank. The National League has agreed to
give the Scheel case retrial, and as soon
as the local lodge has collected its evil
dence, which is all in favor of Scheel, a
jury will meet either in New Jersey or
Philadelphia. In spite of the fact that the
Hamburg conductor came very near caus-
ing split in the union the local lodge is
determined to see that justice is done as
far as lies in its power. All along the
members of this union have held that
Scheel was not responsible for the $1132,
and if the National jury reaches the same
decision the money paid yesterday will be

FRUIT IN THE ORIENT.

The recently issued volume of consular
reports for June, which gives considerable
information in regard to the Oriental mar
ket for dairy products and fruit, affords
very little encouragement to any hope of o
demand in that section of the world for
our products of the kind, and will go
far toward putting an end to any illusions
that may have been cherished by our fruit
or dairy men concerning the results OF
opening up China to the commerce of the
world.
From Hongkong it is reported that only
about 1000 people in that city could be
counted on as purchasers OF fruit or dairy
products, and what fruit is sent there has
to compete with tropic fruits from Ceylon
and other places. Apples sent from the
United States arrive in a damaged condl-
ton on account of the climate. III Bonn
bay California canned fruits are consid-
cred the best. and are by far the cheapest.
The only complaint made Is that the
California strawberries are mashed and
cannot be recognized as such when they
reach Bombay, while the French straw
berry is whole. 1t is limited by dealers
that the French berries are put through a
chemical process to prepare them Tor ship
ping. The Consul further reports that
most of California fruits in Bombay are
shipped from New York, which OF course
increases the selling price at the end, and
it would seem that there should be
chance to make considerable saving in
this item by shipping them direct from
San Francisco.
Reports from other parts of China and
India do not differ materially from those
sent from the great ports of Hongkong
and Bombay. Two obstacles stand IN the
way OF any extensive development OF a
fruit trade in those countries. In the first
place the majority of the people are too
poor to indulge in fruit, and in the second
place those who can afford fruit are fairly
well content with that produced at home.
In India there is an abundance of tropical
fruit, and while the Chinese fruit seems TO
foreigners to be very inferior it suits the
native palate well enough.
A curious illustration of the chances
and changes in trade is noted by the Con-
sui at Calcutta. Formerly there was some
importation at that port OF New England
apples, which were sold at good prices.
These apples were sent out in ice ships,
and could of course be put on the market
with practically no charge for freight and
but little waste by decay. The invention
of a means of manufacturing ice put an
end to ice shipments to India, and the
apple trade ceased with no apparent pros
pect of being revived again.

TEMPERANCE IN FRANCE.

The French Chamber of Deputies has
done another of those spectacular and radi-
cal things for which the race is noted. A
careful inquiry having developed the fact
that the use of alcoholic liquors and GER
tain dangerous stimulants, including alb
sinthe, was producing national disorders
of an alarming character, the Chamber has
enacted a law providing for Government
monopoly of alcohol and the abolition of
the tax on all wines, beer, etc., carrying
less than 30 per cent of alcohol. This
brings fortified wines, as well as spirits,
under Government control, and cheapens
the price OF what are termed benefcent
beverages. Until the Government is ready
to assume the monopoly of alcohol, it has
provided that a heavy tax be levied on
the product.
This is PRONUNCIATION of the idea that
heavy alcoholic drinks tend to encourage
chronic drunkenness and that drinks car
rying low percentage OF alcohol are inim-
zeal to it. The late Senator Stanford was q
strong advocate of this doctrine, going so
far as to declare that California, by produc-
ing large quantities of wholesome wine
which could be sold at low price, would
be advancing temperance in America. The
manager of large vineyard and winery in
this State once informed the writer hereof
that Frenchmen were more reliab bic work
ers about the vineyard than Americans,
for although he gave the Frenchmen daily
all the wine they wanted drunkenness was
unknown among them, while his Ameri-
can laborers, accustomed to the use OF
whisky, were likely at any time to get
drunk in the adjoining town and be locked
up in jail.
The great curse of France is absinthe,
the deadliest and most insidious of alco-
holic drinks. 1t is decoction of logwood
in alcohol, and thus contains two of the
most powerful nerve stimulants, their
combined effect being far more agreeable
than either taken singly. The deadly
character of each poison, however, pro-
duees its effect, and insanity is a frequent
accompaniment of the indulgence. Brandy
also is largely consumed, but its injurious
effects are inferior to those of absinthe
the consumption of which in recent years
has been increasing at a prodigious rate
In rural France, where absinthe is rarely
used and where light claret is abundantly
consumed, the evils of drunkenness to be
observed in cities, particularly in Paris,
are practically absent.
The French Government has under con-
sideration the idea of carrying the matter
still further, by requiring that the iniuri-
Gus effects of INDUCING in alcoholic in
toxicants be taught in the public schools
OF the country. 1t will think twice before
embodying this idea into law, for its
effect might be to strike blow at the
wine-making industry itself, which an
nually adds so enormously to the wealth
of the nation by the sale of wines to
foreign countries.
Movements for State control of alcoholic
beverages have made considerable head
way in this country, with results the
benefits of which are in some dispute. 1t
is likely, however, that in time, and before
very long at that, our whole country will
have such plan in operation, as the evils
