SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRUITS

One of Southern California's chief at
| fractions is its fruits. Its natural re
sources are unsurpassed, if equalied, it
climate is superb. its mountains are ma
lestic and picturesque. its breezes ar
balmy, its sunshine is of superior
quality and its fruits are delicious. II
the great markets of the east "Californi.
fruit is the sign displayed at nearl,
every store or stand. large or small, wher,
horticultural products are offered fol-
sale. In scores of places the sign is de.
fusion and snare so far as at least
sons of the fruits offered are concerned,
as they were really raised long distance
from California and are usually inferior
to even the medium grades of our fruit
products. Nevertheless the fact that east
ern fruit dealers wish their customers to
believe that their goods ara California
products proves Enthusiastically the popr-
Iarity of our products aomng eastern con
sumers. As a rule the fruits shipped
from this country to the east are OF good
quality and in fair condition when started
on their long journey. If, on their ar
rival at the other end OF the line they
are found to have deprecated in quality
the fault is not with the parties who
raised them. 1t is the misfortune of our
eastern cousins that they live so far away
from this land of luscious fruits and fra.
grant flowers and singing birds and calm
contentment. If they would enjoy these
things at their best they must come
where these things are.
But in this connection it is proper to
criticiss our own retail fruit market. 1t
is undeniable that great deal of inferior
fruit is sold here. With such a soil and
climate this is inexcusable. Much of the
fruit is. to begin with, over-iirigated.
There is a marked tendency among fruit
end vegetable growers to irrgate their
crops too much. thereby injuring the
flavor of the product and rendering them
susceptible to speedy decay With less ir-
rigation and more thorough cultivation
OF the soil, better results are obtainable.
Another cause of complaints as to fruits
is that they are frequently picked in an
unripe condition, often being marketed
wnen, for that reason, unit to be eaten.
This is especially the case when any
given croD is first put upon the market.
Many growers are in such haste to secure
the usual nlgn prices OF prouucts wnen
they are as yet scarce that thev will not
wait for a thorough ripening of the
things they wish TO sell. The consequence
is that resident purchasers are dissatis-
fed, while strangers within our gates,
judging from what they see and taste, err
roneously conclude that this country,
after all, does not produce the luscious
fruits for which it has acquired a reputa-
ton abroad.
1t is a pity that Southern California s
fame as fruit growing region sholld be
impaired or furnished by reason OF care
lessness or greed on the part of fruit pro.
ducers. Nature has here provided I'M
surpassed resources and opportunities. u
is ours to make the most of them by a
wise application of skill and sound bust
ness methods.

ANOTHER CHILDREN,S DAY

EDITOR IRANsCRIPT:-There is said to be
good in everything if one will only look
forit. have even thought there is geod
in your Crank" who last week, expressed
some old-fashioned ideas about Children's
Day services in general. / think none oi
us would go back to the stage coach Of our
fathers, but is there not danger of our
travelling too fast?
1t was my good fortune once to witness
in one Of the wealthiest and most liberal
churches Of all this section, Childrens
Day service which for simplicity and lack
of what Crank" calls Dress Parade" ("
but for presence of reverence for the house
of God, commended itself to me. The
program was simple; school songs, the
songs with which they were all familiar.
with the exception of one or two solos and
duett to vary the service of song, for
such it was designated, and an old but ever
new chorus by the primary school.
Prayer was offered at the opening, and
during the evening an address was made
which was both interesting and instructive.
On retiring, the congregation showed the
respect due to the house Of prayer and the
lack of hilarity so often seen on such oc-
casions, was noticeable.
We long to see the day set apart for the
children, made a day in which the Sab
bath school may be awakened to renewed
zeal, and parents. teachers. scholars, yea all
the community, may feel it his or her duty
as well as pleasure to help onsthis work.
We are constantly hearing that the
Sunday School is the nursery for the
church. The good book tells u.s. ITO bring
up child in the way he shall 60, when he
is old he will not depart from its precepts."
The question in my mind is, Are we full
filling this command when we conduct our
services as we did in our recent observances?
It is sad to me to see the house set apart
for the worship of God turned into play
house.
Another question arises, Mr.. Editor,
ought these things SO to be?

n PENNY SAVED, &c.

By typographical error it was stated
last week that only 80 cents a share a
month is required by the new loan associ-
alton. 1t should have been so cents. The
payment is so cents share for 100 months
when the payments cease.
1t is not the business of the TRANSCRIPT
to boom any special business in competi-
ton with others, but it is apparent to all
who observe that towns where the people
are thrifty and save part of their earnings
are towns Of "homes" instead of dwelling
places. Possibly nothing has aided the
'home' more in this country with people
of limited means than has the Building and
Loan. 1t is true of them that penny
saved is a penny earned, whether it be in
the old line companies or in the new that
are offering to serve the public. There is
too little of the inclination to make and
have a home. There is too little of the
saving of the pennies, not miserly but
thoughtfully, that the dollars may be in
vested

The deadlock defeated about.all the
legislation for the public good which
came up, and made the Legislature the
worst this State has known. ."-EUery
Evening, June 10th.
Did the deadlock defeat the work
house bill, SO ably championed by
Chief Justice Lore, and passed unani-
mously by the House? 1t was a re-
form measure, non-political and for
the public good. Why did the Demo
cratic Senate defeat itf Will the Euery
Evening answer? When 1t does we
will put other facts before it showing
how the Democrats defeated the reform
legislation supported by Republicans.
But in passing, is not the Every
Evening the last paper to complain of
the "deadlock"p 1t did what it could
to continue it during the four months
and at the close Of the session on the
floor Of the House, during that memor-
able afternoon, its editor joined hands
with Bob Handy with ''put it there,
old boy, congratulate you," and was
gushing with thanks over another
"Addicks MEMBER with "thanks for
the favor, old fellow, many thanks,
you did it right.'
Is it not all insult to honest men,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, to
have such hypocrite preaching re-
form? The TRANSCRIPT has no excuses
to offer for the Intentional and premedi-
tated breaking Of promises and pledges
Of reform, whether by Republicans or
Democrats, but it does object to the
slandering Of Legislature, Of which
the Governor of the State was mem
Der and a participant in its legislation,
by a man Of the type Of L. Irving
Handy, and we do not stand alone in
this protest. A man.who could pour
the vials of political slime on the head
OF dying Governor IN order to strike
a blow at an honorable political oppo-
nent, and prolong the deadlock
which he now denounces. while the
best citizens Of all parties awaited
with profound sorrow the news from
the death bed of the States Chief
Executive, is capable Of any act thata
coward could be guilty of. For such
a man to preach reform is like Satan
reproving sin. Well may self-respect-

NO DOUBT OF HIS ELECTION


The following interview with ex-
Senator Higgins appeared in the Phila-
delphia Press Of Monday:
Eyes, have seen Colonel DuPont's
statement that he would present his
claim to seat in the United States
Senate before that body at its next ses-
sion. am gratifed that he has made
his purpose known to the people. |
have felt no doubt that he would do
so.
"Since the adjournment of the Legis-
lature / have had the time to look
somewhat into the question raised by
the action Of Governor Watson in vot-
ing, as State Senator, on the election
of United States Senator while ex-
ercising the office Of Governor to which
he acceded under the Constitution
upon the death Of Governor Marvil.
"The conclusion to which I have
come is that Mr.. Watson, upon his
Inauguration, became Governor, and
not merely remained Senator and
Speaker acting as Governor. On the
contrary, he became as fully the Cover
nor of this State under the operation
Of the Constitution as was Governor
Marvil, who was elected by the people.
"Under this construction Of the Con-
stitution his position as Governor is in
harmony with those provisions that no
person holding any office in this State
shall exercise the office of Governor, or
be Senator, and is also in harmony
with the provision which makes Gov
ernor Watson the Governor until
Governor elected by the people shall be
duly qualified, namely, from the Thurs
day after the first Monday in Novem-
Der of 1896 when the new Legislature
will have been elected, until the third
Tuesday in January of 1897, when
new Governor elected by the people
will be inaugurated, during all of
which period Governor Watson will
continue to exercise the office of
Governor, although no longer either
Speaker or Senator. inasmuch as his
term of office as Senator for which he
was elected will have expired by limi-
tation of time and law. This con-
struction will be in accordance with,
and not do violence to the policy upon
which the entire Constitution was con-
structed, namely, the theoretical and
scientific doctrine Of Montesquieu, that
there should be separation of the
three branches of the Government, the
Judicial, the Executive and the Legis-
lative.

who have the interest of the church at
