The lemon famine of six years ago, due to
the loss of the Florida crop last winter, and to
the short supply OF Mediterranean fruit, made
extraordinarily high prices then. The new
Sicily crop, which is now arriving, is abund-
ant, and although no lemons are expected
from Florida this season, and but few from
California, prices are unusually low The
California lemon crop of the approaching sea-
son is estimated at $50, 900 boxes, and the
orange crop OF the same State at ), 0O0, 900
boxes. Some 100000 boxes, or about 1 ,00O,-
900 lemons. are consumed in the United
States in year.

The Independent CaIistogidn announces
its entry upon the nineteenth year of it's
existence. Since its young editor, c. A.

has shown an accession of the energy and
public spirit which have made it prosper
Gus and influential during its long career.
The Crescent City Record calls attention
to the necessity for better transportation
facilities to bring the products of that rich
section down to the seaboard, and indi-
Gates the profits which would accrue to the
builders of railroad. 1t calls attention to
these facts: Crescent City is the natural
distributing point for large scope OF
country in Southern Oregon, and by en-
couragement to the people of that section
the freighting trade enjoyed by us. prior to
the advent of the Oregon and California
Railroad could be regained. They partic-
ularly object to paying tribute to the rail
road, and it now lies with Crescent City
whether their freight comes this way. The
encouragement to be given would be free
access to the county and reduction of
freight rates to and from San Francisco.
The benefit derived from the increased
traffic in a short time would doubly COM
pensate the transportation company in
making the reduction, and the money
brought to the county by the freighters in
moving the freight to the interior would
aid in great measure in the prosperity of
Crescent City and the county"

TIE advance in steerage rates by the
transatlantic steamship companies is
significant. Under the Mckinley act fac
tory operatives in European countries
were coming here in shoals, wages being
relatively better. The Wilson bill re-
versed the conditions, and so decreased
the number of steerage passengers that
there has for some time been no profit in
carrying them.

THE FLAVILLE- WRIGHT MYSTERY.
Recovery of Wright's Body From the
River.
Mrs. Fiaville's Watch Found In One
of His Pockets-A Very
Strange Case.

Last Saturday night Mrs. David Fla
Vile disappeared from her home. She
was seen at late hour on steamboat at
the wharf in company with man known
as Deb" Wright, both said to have been
more or less under the influence of
liquor.
The next day the woman's body was
found in the river, but the watch and
chain which she was known to have car
ried were not on her person, nor was the
smsll sum of money she had in her purse
when she left home. Her husband be-
lieved she had been made the victim of
violence. and the attaches of the Coroner's s
office expressed the opinion that life was
extinct before she reached the water.
Nobody knew what had become of her
companion, but as his hat was found with
hers on the steam mboat, the impression
was that his body was also in the river.
Was it case of double suicide. or was
either or both murdered by someone
else?
The finding of Wright's body yester-
day throws no new light upon the mys-
terry. In the lower right hand pocket OF
his vest were the watch and chain that had
disappeared from Mrs. Flaville's person,
and his in left trousers pocket was SZ III
silver.
There have been no marks discovered
on Wright's body except bruise on the
left side of the head, above the ear. the
extent of which cannot be determined
until an autopsy is held.
What makes the case more mysterious
is the fact that Mrs. Flaville always wore
the chain. which is long one, twice
around her neck, and always slept with
the watch and chain on her person. The
watch mad water inside the case. and had
stopped at nineteen minutes past A. NJ,
and proved to have been wound up not
very long before that time.
Wright received his pay, S64 90, on the
Ist of the month, and paid from 1t his life
insurance premium and some small
bills. His hat and lantern were found
on the stern of the boat, while Mrs.
Flaville's hat was found in his atateroom,
on the upper deck, he being mate on the
steamer.
What happened on that night to the two
unfortunates will probably never pe
known. Was it murder? Was it sui
eide? Did the woman fall in accidentally,
and Wright jump in to save her. and,
striking his head on something, go down
to a watery grave with her?
Was it case of robbery, with enough
money left in the victims pocket to give
it the appearance of suicide. or was it the
deed OF someone who was Jealous of his
attentions to her?
These questions can none of them be
answered by the dead, and will probably
never be answered by the living, and the
case will take its place among the many
other mysteries Of the river.

nomic forces. In true sense they were
the spontaneous creation of inherent nat
ural forces. They are the result of an
invitation to the profit which would in
evitably attend their construction. They
were not extra-hazardous, nor even
hazardous, undertakings. From their
inception to their finish they were en-
couraged by the certainties of profitable
history. One hundred and sixty thou
sand miles of railroad have been con-
structed TO serve the internal commerce
of the eastern half of this nation, and yet
no individual can arise and say that
he was their protector. No great
personality is associated with their con-
struction. None of these favoring factors
were present to bring into existence by
spontaneous generation the railroad sys-
tenn which IN the main serves California.
1t came into existence as the product OF
the energy and the financial genius of
one man. If ever a community of civil
lied people had reason to hold any single
individual in grateful remembrance for
his contribution to their material pros
perity and the commercial and industrial
development of the part of the world
they occupy, the people OF California
have reason to hold in grateful remem-
brance the life services of c. 2. Hunting
ton.
The railroad system of the Pacific
States and Territories, urged into exist
ence as it was by the energy of one man,
called into being by the creative genius
of a single financial operator, will re-
main noble monument to the memory
of someone, and all the testimony of
history will write the name Of @. p.
Huntington upon that monument.

THE NEXT MAYOR.

There are now four candidates in the
field for the Office of Mayor The first
and foremost was nominated by the Re-
publican party, after such fair, close
and genuine contest as proved the sim
cerity and earnest interest of the party in
the welfare of the city.
Sacramento is recognized as a Re-
publican city; it now remains for it to
prove worthy of that credit by electing
J. w. Wilson, the Republican nominee.
1t is full time that the CITY had a white
wool Republican administration; it has
had enough of the gray-mixed order. In
Mr.. Wilson the people have presented
for their votes man of intelligence.
business capacity and sterling integrity.
AS Supervisor, Sheriff and Agricultural
Director, as one in the front ranks of all
progressive movements and improve
strong man, who viii give the city a
clean. wholesome, econo mic administra-
tion, free from sensationalism, promise
without performance, or pledge without
redemption.
He is party man, open and consistent.
party man from honest conviction and
long attachment, and his election viii,
make the party responsible for his ad
ministration. The assurance is as certain
as if accomplished that he will give his
whole time to the duties Of his office. 1t
is the theory of the charter that the
Mayor shall do this; that he shall earn
his s.. 900 year by performance, and not
/ by psrfuncLory filling of the dignities of
the Office.
There is more than enough for Mayor
to do if he works ten hours day and
seven days in every week of his term. 1t
| is his duty to supervise all departments.
to see that officials do their duty, 10
familiarize himself with the laws and
ordinances and see to it that they are
enforced. Hei to inspect public works,
and see that they are operated and main
/ tanned as the law directs and business
prudence dictates. He is to advise the
| Board Of Trustees and all other official
| bodies, to see that the accounts of the
| city are properly kept, that contracts are
| honestly lived up to, and that the city
gets value received for every dollar ex-
| pended in it's behalf
He is to consider city finances and
their adjustment, city liabilities and their
discharge He is to enforce the observ-
ance OF the rights of the public and con-
city. In short, there is more than enough
for one good man to do, and that one will
rhave all he can do without giving any
time to running other businesses or con-
Quoting private enterprises.
To all the duties incum bent upon an
industrious Mayor Mr.. Wilson will come
peculiarly well equipped. He is OF
methodicsl habit, careful in judgment,
hasty in nothing: not quick to decide,
but firm in resolve; he is the man for the
place above any and all the candidates
proposed, and he will be elected.
But his election will lack much virtue
il there is not at the Same time sent up Q
strong Republican majority to the Board
of Trustees. We have had enough OF
playing to the gallery, jingoism, inhar-
mony and irresponsibilIty in that body.
We want now a Mayor and board OF
the same political faith and responsible
10 the same party. We need the change
| and need IL badly.

SorE AND COMMENT.

Is II not shameful that in the very heart OF
the business section OF this city there should
have existed Tor years foul nuisances in
imical to the public health. and that until the
cholera threatened US nothing effective could
be or was done To correct the evil? Has il
come TO this that business men are content TO
dwell in the midst of filth ana make no pro-
test until necessity compels a cleaning up
crusade? let IL be understood from this time
forward that such a condition of affairs as
has been brought TO light in the matter OF
public sanitation shall never again be charge
able against this city or any part OF it.

A LABOR COMMISSION.

Congressman Phillips of PENNSYLVANIA
has S250,0OO worth OF faith in The results
of commission on labor. Al least he is
willing TO contribute that amount to de-
fray the expenses of such commission.
The subject lies at the basis of national
prosperity. Tariff systems may help to
the solution Of the labor question, but can
only help. There were disastrous conflicts
between employers and employees while
the Mckinley tariff was in force Such
conflicts will arise until community of
interest is estaD lished between capital and
labor. In these conflicts both parties
suffer. They leave scars which no adjust
ment of difficulties obiteraies. a writer
in The Forum records without dissent an
estimate that the labor troubles OF the last
year cost the nation the sum of $50, 900, 600.
Only a part OF this cost was borne by
parties TO il. Every business institution
in the country and every wage worker had
10 contribute a share. The wage-worker
may not have handed over a part of bis
wages at the time, but in the end his earn
iDgs depend very largely upon the people
Of business. The events of one year NAV
cause reduction in wages The next year.
Capital which considers itself exposed TO
extraordinary perls may seek to earn
somet thing in investments in established
securities. There can hardly be a worse
indication of the industrial condition of a
State than tendency OIL the part of cap
iial TO earn interest without taking the
ordinary chance of business enterprises.
The Forum writer suggests stock shar-
ing assthe basis of permanent union be-
tween capital and labor. He suggests a
plan by which a proportion of wages shall
be paid in stock. To provide against i'm
providence the stock held by wage-earners
might be made transferable only to a
labor union formed to retain in the hands
of wage-earners all The stock of this de-
scription that is issued. 10 every board
Of directors there should be one represep-
tative of the labor interest This plan
may not be the best that can be devised
A commission like that proposed by Mr.
Phillips would examine into many plans
and aim to combine the best features of
each
