J. R. BURTON made a speech at Hum
bOldt, Kansas, on the Fourth of July,
which is one of his best efforts. The en-
terprising Humboldt Uuion prints three
columns of it. In this speech Mr. Bur
ton said something about Decoration
Day:
Decoration Day is universally observ-
ed There are more flags now than there
were in the past They are more freely
displayed They are everywhere on
public buildings, school houses, homes,
and the sacred emblem is not unfre-
quently around the holy word of God
God, country and home are words that
children hear now more frequently than
did the children of the past Sectional
ism, the Jealous curse of the past, is fast
fading away before the sunlight of vir-
tue and intelligence. like spooks and
sprites that are dispelled before the
brilliant light of day.

DENVER, July 16-Ex- Governor Waite
has returned to Denver from his trip in
Montana and is preparing to sail into the
Texans. He says that his northern trip
was an immense success and that he had
big and enthusiastic crowds wherever he
went July Gath the ex-governor will
deliver an address at Bonham, Texas,
two days later at Greenville, about July
2Sth at Grand Sabine and at some date
shortly after that at Fort Worth.
Speaking of national politics, Mr..
Waite said: "There are three parties in
the field and there will be no more. l
mean the Republicans, the Populists and
the Democrats There will be no new
party and for a simple reason. The Re-
publicans want to win within their own
lines and so do the rest of the folks.
They will fight within party lines and
only there. Sibley and Warner found
that out They tried it hard enough,
While l was up in Montana they had q
meeting at Butte. was told it was a
good one. So they had here, but that
was all there was to it. They were lis
tened to by Republicans, Populists and
Democrats, who went away as staunch
in their party allegiance as before they
came. There will be no new party"

WE publish a large amount of tenn
perance convention notes by request
of our subscribers, which is taken from
the Capital and JOURNAL. The Capital
smoothes down the addresses of the
speakers, somewhat, although what it
publishes is hard enough on the governor,
but what the JOURNAL publishes is just
as they said it. This we know to be
true for we were there.-Burlingam
(Kan.) Weekly Workingman.
The JOURNAL always publishes its re-
ports of meetings, trials and conventions
"just as they said it." The good news
paper is supposed to present to the
reader the doings of a convention as
nearly as possible as if the reader were
present. The bad newspaper twists and
misrepresents. The JOURNAL is some
times called sensational by its sleepy
contemporaries because it prints verba-
sim reports. If it is sensational it is be-
cause the facts are sensational The re.
porter can't help that. He mirrors what
be hears and sees.

BoRAx FRUIT PREsERvER.
Experiments Have Given Surprising and
Pleasing Results.

Pleasing Results.
Frank M. Smith, the borax king, be-
Iieves that he has solved the problem
of preserving fresh fruit so it can be
put on the eastern market in a salts
factory condition. For some time he
has been experimenting with borax and
finds the ingredients of that salt
adapted for precluding vegetable de-
composition The discovery is the re-
suit of a suggestion made to Mr.. Smith
one day while lunching with friend.
The gentlemen were discussing the
success that had attended the expert
ment of boraxing fresh meat, when Mr..
Smith was asked why he had never
tried preserving fruit in the same way
He said it had never occurred to him,
but that afternoon he gave the matter
so much thought that as soon as he
returned to his home in East Oakland
he packed several pounds of cherries
in box of powdered borax. This box
was placed in the cellar and alongside
of it he placed large glass dish filled
with the same kind of fruit. Then he
awaited developments. The next day
he visited the cellar and found the
cherries in the dish were beginning to
turn. In three days they we're so de-
composed that it was necessary to
throw them away. In order to make
| a good test he determined not to dis
turb the packed cherries for three
| weeks. At the termination of that
time the box was opened and the fruit
was as fresh and in as good con-
dition as when he first placed them
there. Mr.. Smith was amazed, and he
was delighted over the result, and de-
termined to experiment on a larger
| scale. He had a quantity of cherries
packed in barrel of borax and sent
to Chicago by slow freight. Last week
ne received a telegram saying the fruit
had arrived in perfect condition and
was bringing surprisingly high prices.
Since then a number of barrels OF
cherries have been packed in borax,
and are now ready for shipment east.
AS fast as the different varieties Of
| fruit ripen experiments will be made
| by Frank G. Haven at Rose Crest Villa,
his place at Vernon Heights, Oakland.
| The experiments will be on an extern
sive scale. AS the experiments on the
/ different fruits prove successful barrels
of the fruit will be packed and sent to
the east and Europe. Whenever an
experiment is pronounced successful it
will be published for the benefit of
growers and commission men who may
wish to preserve their stock.
''There is no patent on this dis
covery," said Mr.. Smith. cit is free
to all, and I regard it of the utmost
value in the working out of the prob
lem of domestic economy. The same
borax can be used over and over again,
and think of the amount of unnecessary
domestic waste that will be avoided by
preserving fruit this way. Private
families, as we'll as hotels and restau-
rants, can have their borax bins at
small expense In which they can con-
stantly keep an ortment of fresh
| fruit. The experiment is as yet in it's
infancy, and I am loath to claim too
much for it, but from the tests we have
made it is reasonable to believe the sys-
tenn of borax preserving will play an
important part in the commercial
world"

fellows who are not Populists who are
trying to pass themselves off as Pops to
the detriment of thar parry.

tends to be Populist when as a matter
of fact, they do not come as near believ-
ing the doctrines of the Peoples Party as
some Republicans. The only reason
they can give for calling thems elves

their pet doctrines down our throats."

IT is estimated that if all the silver in

Court against the Southern California
Railway Company, demanding $50, 900 for
the death of their son Manuel, which hap
pened on the 18th of November, 1893.
1t is alleged that the deceased had his
foot caught in frog on the track of the
Southern California Railway, at the foot
Of Commercial street, near the river, and
that before he could extricate himself an
him so much that he soon died. The
plaintiffs base their demand for damages
upon the fact that their son was their

Fitzpatrlck Held to Answer

William Fitzpatrick was yesterday held
by Justice of the Peace Rossiter, of Pasa-
dena, to answer for the murder of Elmer
Newton on February 10th. Bail was set
at $1,000 which the young man could not
give. An application will be made to the
Superior Court to have it reduced, as the
offense, it is claimed by the attorneys for
the defense, cannot be considered more
than manslaughter. No trace has yet
been found of Andrew Parks. the other
man accused of the death of Newton.
