THE SALOON-KEEPING BUSINESS.
Bishop DoANE of Albany has radical, IL
not altogether novel, ideas on the liz uor
question, and he is not afraid to express
| them. He believes the licensing OF
saloons is all wrong in principle and
practice, and well expresses the argument
| Of that part OF the temperance sentiment
tbuh iCEoidc hSc iAHuOA bh phiC tiHuO
as the best scheme for a reduction OF the
| evils OF drink and the promotion Of tenn
perancc.
This view Is not to he dismissed idly,
though we believe it has lad little or
no opportunity for a practical test in this
country. To regard beer and spirits and
! wine as articles OF trade and commerce.,
just as bread and butter and beef are, 10
an idea that is but little preached to US
and that our people have not generally
awakened to. Believers in temperance
who insist that this view is the only cor.
rect one claim that the carrying of it into
effect, together with the making of a
law to prevent the adulteration of
liquor as we do of food products, would
be reasona BILE, heelthiul and would pro-
mote temperance. The Bishop of Albany,
in his annual address before the twenty
seventh annual diocesan convention, did
not hesitate TO express his conviction
that we are absolutely insecure so long
as the State undertakes to exercise any
special control over the sale OF liquor,
the sale of other things. The temptation
is irresistible for the liquor dealers to
elect Legislatures in their interest, and az
irresistible for the average politician to
prostitute Office by pandering to the
liquor dealers to secure their votes. No
excise law can be framed that will not,
either by its strict enforcement, create
a popular excitement by its alleged in
reference with individual liberty and
its unfair discrimination Of privileges
between classes, or else it will be we'll
usej, as 1t has been for many years, as
q means Of extorting money by city Off
cisls from violstors OF the law to pur-
chase immunity for their crime. Mean
while, IL the State lie; the whole matter
alone and merely include in its criminal
code certain offences, drunkenness, sell
ing liquor TO minors, violation OF the
Lords Day, and the selling of liquor in
the Immediate heig hborhood OF schools
and churches, and polling places, the
Bishop voiced a large IL not q majority
temperance scn,lncn, 10 the effect Tint
thu matter would regulate itself by the
Law OF supply n demand. There
would be no more liquor %saloonstha the
thirst OF the neighorhood required. and
there would b. no temptstion on the
part Of politicians TO support them AZ
places In which they could secure inGu-
cnoc, or to liquor dealers TO establish
them as centers OF political power.

MARYsvILLE, July 12.-The question
of maintaining one or more than one
auction room in each of the large Eastern
cities was considered at meeting of the
Sutter County fruit-growers held in
Yuba City last evening. Colonel H.
Weinstock of Sacramento addressed the
meeting, and resolutions were adopted
supporting the California Fruit-Growers'
and Shippers Association, which was
organized Tor the principal purpose of
establishing union auction rooms, that
all the fruit and ali the buyers and all the
auctioneers in each of the different cities
may be brought together under one roof,
thus preventing California fruit from
competing with itself through being sold
IN several places and under different
arrangements.
1t is contended that this system of con-
soIidation, in connection with Bureau
of Information Tor the growers, will re-
suit in securing much better values than
were obtained under the old method.
The real fight is conferred on New ork
City, where two large associations have
refused to consider the proposition OF
consolidation.
Resolutions were passed by the grow
ers denounciDg those who are doing busl-
ness with rival concerns.

Important Suggestions by the State
Highway Commissioners.
REDWOOD CITY, July 12.-The State
Bureau of Highways met the Board of
Supervisors and the public this afternoon
at the Courthouse. The roads in the
Third District were reported by the Com
missioners to be among the best Of any
visited in the State.
They secured some valuable data about
road sprinkling, which will be embodied
in their report to the Legislature and ex
planned to other counties. A more per-
feet record of road bills was urged
The Supervisors were advised TO get
deeds and record the title of every piece
Of road they spent county money upon.
Concrete bridges are cheaper than steel
bridges, and wooden bridges are out of
date. A steel bridge will last for forty
years, and concrete will last forever.
The best road-making material the
Commissioners had seen in the county
was the cement rock from Belmont.
They said road improvements should be
of permanent character, and not TOM
porary max eshiftS.
In regard to the boulevard, Commits
sioner Manson said San Francisco must
be looked to-that it was necessity for
San Francisco, and that in that city
enough money was wasted annually on
road construction to build many miles of
boulevard.
