F.. j. Newell, who, with his assistant.
Bert Emo, have charge Of the magnificent
display from that settlement. Po-
mona is upon the Southrn Pacific
railroad and is about thirty miles east of
this city. The Santa Fe railroad runs
three miles north of the town.
Pomona is growing, enterprising city,
well placed in fertile, well-watered val
ley. The productions Of the soil are
abundant and varied. About 200 square
miles are tributary to the city, Of which
it is estimated that 10, 600 acres are in or
chards and vegetable gardens. All citrus
and dedeciduous fruits, grapes, nuts and
almonds do we'll.
The prices of lands with water are
from 5000 an acre and upwards, while
damp lands without water rights, and
capable of raising cereals, deciduous fruits
and winter vegetables can be obtained
for from $50 an acre upwards. The soil
is decomposed granite and sandy loan,
and for the most part OF great depth and
fertility.
San Diego
The county OF San Diego is the most
southerly of what is termed Southern
California, and its large exhibit at the
Citrus Fair is among the choicest. ]. @.
Frisbee of the City of San Diego is the
coun tvs representative.
Among other things the gentlman said !:
Our county has the largest body OF land
capable Of producing the citrus and other
fruits. vines, nuts and cereals of any Of
the seven Of Southern California. The soil
is varied in character, the greater part be-
ing the common red soil. In the valleys
one finds the decomposed and sandy soil
so admirably fitted for orange and lemon
production. AS present our rail ira nsporta
ton facilities are not what they sh ould
be or what they soon will be. The more
available and highly desirable lands are,
how Aver, close to the railroad Water in
San Diego county is plentiful. The Sweet
water dam has world wide reputation.
This immense reservoir, with others that
are smaller. are only a part of the water
systems which the county will soon pos
sess. Arrangements are about completed
for the introduction OF an immense system
which will cover many hundreds of thou
sands of acres AS to or products we can
raise anything almost that grows. All the
grains do we'll and give heavy returns
and lemon can be found. The lemon
specially does exceedingly we'll. Many
of the latter find their way into the East
ern market.in wrappers indicating other
localities. A law should be framed ma k
ing this a heavily punishable offense. All
the deciduous growths do well. Look at
that pineapple. single specimen, l
know, but it shows what may be done
with the more sensitive of the emi-tropic
| fruits. Lands with water are worth from
5000 to $500 per acre and without water al
much lower figures.

BIMETALLTsM GAINING

The goldbug and the silverbug
newspapers, which are almost equal
ly tiresome in their advocacy of ex-
tremes, vie with one another in as
sorting that the impossibility of in
ternational bimetallism has been
shown conclusively by the recent ex-
pressions of opinion on the subject
by Mr.. A. J. Balfour. He is, as they
recall, one Of the foremost advocates
Of the bimetallic theory. He believes
in bimetalliSm as a practical meas
ure; and, like the thoughtful man
that he is, expects to see it realized.
But when asked what would be the
lism, or upon the probabilities of an
other international conference and
its results, of the political change in
England that has carried back into
power the party with which he is
associated, he replied cautiously that
while his own opinions are well
known, he is not authorized to
pledge his associates to any policy.
Thereupon the whole pack bursts
into full cry. The friends of gold
monometallism and the friends of
silver monometallism beseech us to
see in what a broken reed we have
put our trust; what a mere play
thing bimetallism is; good enough
to toy with for those who have not
the responsibilities Of office, but sent
to the right-about as quickly as it
asks to be considered in the light of
an imperial policy.
All this talk is, Of course, the
merest nonsense. Mr.. Balfour made
the only reply that he could make
to a rather foolish question. Let us
suppose parallel case. A short time
after Mr.. Cleveland was elected the
last time, but before he had been in
augurated, it was known that he had

est number of votes in their order.
Messrs. Tawney, McCleary, Kiefer
and Towne would have been the Re
publican; Messrs. Hall and Bald
win the Democratic, and Mr. Boon
the Populist representative
In the larger affairs of the nation
and state such a method is desirable
on all accounts. In presidential cleo
tons it would prevent the inevitable
corruption in the pivotal states,
because there could be none such.
The Republican minorities, now
wasted in some states, and the Dem
ocratic in others, would have their
weight where sufficient to form an
electoral quota. In congress it would
give a more even representation to
the parties, preventing that unwield-
mess whose danger was felt by the
Republicans in the F'ifty-first and
the Democrats in the Fifty-third
congress. In the state it would give
alert and active minorities, watchful
of the majority, inSur;ng greater
economy and more prudent IegisIa-
ton. In municipal matters it is
questionable whether there would be
any advantage in it, The smaller
the political division the more safely
can the rule be trusted to the ma
jority. Besides, the sooner that party
lines are oblfterated in local cleo
tons, the better for the cause Of
good government.

those who execute the laws will hold
out against the pressure of the large
interest that is injured in pocket by
this new legislation. AS to the pos
sibility of attracting a crowd by the
single interest of the turf contests
themselves, however, it may be
pointed out that base ball has never
been so great success and never
SO satisfactory financially to the
arrangements as when the public
was convinced that the game was
played in dead earnest and on the
square, for nothing but the glory
of winning the championship.

QUAY SPEAKS.
Senator Arthur Kennedy, of ALE

juncture Senator Quay was escorted
into the hall and a scene of the Wild

said: II understand that 100 delegates
are here. If this is so, the great issue
which has convulsed the Republicans

A SEPARATE CONVENTION.
Senator Thomas, of Philadelphia, Of

the convention the place for holding
the meeting, a committee be appointed
to select a suitable hail. and tickets
of admission thereto be issued by the
Quay members Of the state committee.
Th1s resolution was adopted after Wal

Senator Thomas resolution was
adopted, and S. H. Miller, w. H. An

AT THE THEATERS.

Seats are now on sale for '"The Old
Homestead which opens the season
at the Metropolitan opera hous tornor-
row evening. The company has been
well received elsewhere, on its trip
eastward from the Pacific coast. The
role Of Uncle Josh, which Denman
Thompson has made famous, is en-
trusted to George W. Wilson, an actor
of sterling merit and wide experience.
The quartette singing is said to be ex-
ceptionaily fine.
The coming engagement of that
highly Favored popular comedy and
racing drama, "The Derby Winner"
opening the season of the Grand opera
house, next Sunday night, promises to
eclipse in point of attractiveness and
attendance any opening the Grand has
ever had. 1.-THE Derby Winner" was
the state fair attraction in st. Paul
last season, and it met with big sue
cess. 1t made decided hit, of that
pronounced character which unmistak-
ably stamped it with the local public
Endorsement. This season it returns
here in a generally revised and strong
er shape. The well-known author and
manager, Al Sphinx, put in considerable
time the past summer in touching I'D
situations, strengthening climaxes and
adding to it's attractiveness. 1t has
started out this season winning new
laurels and is making a brilliant show
ing down the quarter stretch Of the
dramatic race track. This year the
great stable scene, in the perfection
of which Mr.. Sphinx has shown consid-
cradle ingenuity and devoted painstak-
ing effort, is now as true to life as
though the scene were taken right out
Of a well regulated stable of race
horses. Seven stalls with such we'll
known thoroughbreds as Ed. Corri-
gan's old Freeland, La Cigale, Ana
wan, Ianthe, ALI Ablaze and Flossie,
are shown in full view, with the pump,
hay, straw, stable boys, jockeys and
touts scattered about. The race scene
shows what daring skill and race
horses can accomplish on the stage.
The prettiest and most skillful lady
jockey who ever rode race horse,
Miss Viola Arthurs, rides the winner
in the play. Her riding made a big
hit here last year. Her acting will
not fail to captivate her audiences.
Among the company this year are Miss
Viola Arthur, Eddie Giguere, the great
little comedian, well known in ST.
Paul; Frank Macdonald, Frederic Or
mond, Arthur Kherus, Dora Cole,
Blanche Boyer and Eunice Ramsey.
Billy Eldridge, the famous colored
actor, is still doing the part of Gillie
Jones, the trainer, in which he made
such a great hit last year.

HANGED HIM.
Man With a Long Beard in Bloody
Gulch.


Buffalo Express.
YES" said the Man Who Had
Seen the World, 'long whiskers seem
to be characteristic of Westerners
nowadays, but I remember a time
when it was not safe to wear them.''
when was thGat?" asked the Man
Who Liked to Be Talked To.
"Oh, back in the early days, when
I first went to the West.
What was the danger of whiskers
then?"
well, remember time when a
fellow with a long beard came to
Bloody Guleh. 1t was a corker of a
beard, too. Your PETERS of today
wasn't in it with that man His whis-
kers came down to his knees all
right. They were as hong as a China
mans pigtail. The boys looked him
over, and concluded that man who
would wear such a beard wasn't a
safe fellow to have around
Some were in favor of running
him out on a rail, but a good MANY
thought that wouldn't be effective
enough. So,just as a matter of safety,
we concluded to lynch him before
he did any harm. But then came the
question whether a plain, ordinary
hanging would be impressive
enough. We wanted something that
would give notice to everybody that
it was his whiskers that caused his
death. So. what d. you suppose we
finally did,"
What did you do?'
well, we took him an twisted
those whiskers into a rope and
hanged him with them. We never
were troubled with long whiskers
after that in Bloody Gulch so long
as knew anything about the place,
though I understand it has degen-
Grated since then"
And the Man Who Had Seen the
World spat out his quid of tobacco,
refiectively, and called for beer.

M. M. Alloway, residing a few miles
south of Gllsberry, Mo-, tells remarks
able story, which is vouched for by his
neighbors and the hands working on
his farm. May %, one of Alloway's
straw stacks became top-heavy from
the effects of gnawing by the stock or
the barnyard, and being started by
mule running against it, suddenly fell
on the ground and covered up all
eighty-pound shoat. Alloway gave the,
hog up as lost, as he supposed the inn
mense mass of straw had crushed it to
death. On Monday, the 22d inst, he
ordered his farm hands to remove the
old straw to another part of the farm
The work could not be completed in
one day, and on Tuesday, July %,
just siXty-one days from the time the.
stack fell down, the men dug out the
shoat, which was still alive and grunt-
ing. It's frame was extremely en1a-
ciated, the bones almost cutting
through the skin. Its weight appears
to be reduced at least two-thirds. Milk
was offered, and it drank more than
gallon, and then ate some solid food.
Four days after the hog was rescued
it had begun to fatten up, and now
runs about as though nothing had hap
pened.

GET READY FOR THE FAIR.

The G o e is delighted to find its
suggestion that our people revive the
olden glories of fair week acted upon
so promptly and theoretically. AT
the meeting of prominent and pub
lic-spirited citizens to take measures
for a proper celebration, there was
evinced a hearty determination to
make the streets of our city attrac-
tive to visitors during the evenings
of the week Of the state fair. An
organization was effected promptly,
programme outlined, and commit
tees were appointed which will not
allow the good work to languish.
These preliminaries make it certain
that we will make the best impress
sion upon the thousands who are
to be here during the second week
of September. There is every prob
ability that the attendance upon the
fair will break the record. The eXhi-
bition itself will eclipse all prede-
cessorS; and the farmers of the
Northwest do not lack this year Ell
Their the disposition or the means
for an outing which will benefit them
in many ways.
The rejoicing and the confidence
in the future that are born of the
abundant promise of this year should
find some expression at the same
time in st. Paul The carnival idea
is the most appropriate for this. 1t
has been long time since people felt
an access of pure joyousness, and
looked the future in the face not
only without shrinking, but with a
steady hope. They feel the relief
of release from their long subjec-
ton to misfortune or the fear of mis-
fortune. They are ready for gayety
and light The call upon
them to come out and fill our streets
with life and brilliancy during the
nights of fair week should and will,
we believe, meet with a ready re-
Spouse. But every one who is inter
ested should remember that the time
is short; too limited for any elabor-
ate preparation. So much the bet
ter, then; and let our entertainment
make up in Spontaneousness what it
may lack in costly detail.
We can have three or four even
ing parades that will be a delight
to every visitor. Especially capable
of expansion into something magnif-
icent is the Wheelmen's procession.
The universal use of the bicycle is
yet too new a fact for custom to
have stalled the idea of a great con-
course of wheels, with lights and
decorations, making a street show
utterly unlike anything that has
been seen here before. And this is
but one item of a programme that
can be so carried out as to make
state fair week one long to be re-
membered. 1t is as we'll to bear in
mind that the people of Minneapolis,
too, are preparing Examinations and
festivities for the strangers who will
flock TO these two cities at that time.
and it is not for st. Paul to find her.
self outdone. Let us bestir ourselves
to arouse public interest and wake
the enthusiasm that counts more
than all else in making possible a

The question whether running and

Mhis seasons experience; nor could

denial Of the fact that the tendency
Of late years has been for the gam
bling interest in track meetings to
Dvershadow all others. Everything
else has been to some extent sacri-
feed to promote that. Strength of
wind and fieetneSS of foot have been
less considered than the balancing
Of chances. The making or break
Ing of records has been thought a
less vital matter than the bringing
to pass OF an unexpected event. And
SO, at many Of the race tracks, the
crowds gathered have come with no
interest in the contest between the
horses, as a test of their relative
powers, but only as a combination
Of chances; out of which the winning
Dne would bring in a. handsome for
tune to the man lucky enough to Sc
lect it. AS a consequence, races have
been arranged to considerable eX-
tent with a view to promoting I'M
certainty, and the whole character
Of turf events, even when honestly
managed and free from jockeying,
has been radically changed.
SO strong grew the feeling against
this that in nearly all of the states
legislatures have been solicited to
prohibit public betting on horse
races, and in several Of them the de-
sired laws were passed. The effect,
In nearly all cases, upon the attend
ance and interest shown has been
marked. In q few instances there were
large crowds, attracted by the merit
Of the contests, and thoroughly en-
Joyable sport was the result. But in
larger number the. spectators
dwindled to few hundred, and
the track managers were out of
