HOPS NOT ADULTERATED.
Secretary Horton Admits That His
Crop Report Is Wrong.

New York, Nov. 12.-In the crop report
for October, 1896, the United States De-
parunent OF Agriculture contributed the
ianguishing condition of the hop market to
the general use of chemicals as substitutes
for hops i'll bre wing.
The United States Brewers Association.
in n letter TO Secretary Morton protested d
against this assertion, denounced 1t as abb
solutely false and offered to assist in the
prosecution of any person guilty OF adui-
teration In reply the association received
the following from Secretary Morton:
Sir / have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt OF your communication OF the
Alb instant. made in the name OF the Doasd
Of trustee and advisory committee OF the
United States Brewers Association.
sThc statement in the October crop re-
port TO which you called attention was SUD
inittcd to the statistician, and he informs
Inc that while the analysis OF the depart
ment chemist shows that the use OF other
bitter than hops has not been unknown in
The past history OF the brewing in the
United States, still the statement is I'LL
doubtedly erroneous, as the use OF the
substitute appears to be rare, rather than
otherwise
he paragraph in question, relating to
a minor crop, was prepared by subOrdi-
nate in the statistician's office. 1t Is the
custom to have all such matters brought
particularly to the statistician's attention.

for publication without his scrutiny"

sure his arrest.
Inasmuch as the burglar was doubtless
one of our alley dcnizens the experience
of Miss Davis furnishes additional proof
why these resorts Of criminals should be
opened out to sunlight. Professional thieves
seldom allow themselves to be caught when
the killing or Gripping of their assailants
will permit them to escape. and the young
lady may thank fortune that she was not
injured.
Once again The Times appeals to church
organizations to arrange for the eyangel-
izing OF our alleys. a few weeks OF
earnest meetings among the vicious resi-
dents of these places would result in grea
practical good. 1t would at least have
the effect OF arousing public sentiment,
and possibly in compelling the Commits
sioners to enforce the law which provides
that the alleys be Strengthened and purged
Of their lawless element.

Nothing but new brains for it's ad

years Of gradual development, and those

tally afflicted.
Locking up such people, or attemptinp
to suppress their utterances, only attracts
attention to their vagaries and creates tho
impression that they are being persecuted.
sane citizens will not listen to their raw

disciples excites those who are semi-mad
and spreads the mental disorder Pr,s-
pertty, liberal government, and absolute
freedom of speech Will do more to stamp
out disrupting influences than either force

There may be a few exceptions. but MS
rule, the American people are neither
crazy nor simple. Give them a compet
ency, and the right to act without restric-
ton, and there will be precious little

APPETITE FOR OLIVES.
1t Has Grown So That the Crop Is
Too Small.

California olives are at a premium.
Last years crop is already exhausted and
the gIuoers are unable to supply their GUS
toners.
81 great has become the consumption of
picked California olives within the last
Iew years that une supply is entirely mad

olives prepared for the market this year
was double that Of last year. The crop
was handled and picked during the months
Of December and January. lit was ready
for the market in February, and i'll less

Within the last two weeks Secretary
Filcher of the state board OF trade has
received numerous letters from the gro
GERS of this city and the towns in the
interior asking where ripe picked Cali
fornIa olives could be secured Secretary
EIicner put himself IN comm unicatiOn with
the various large growers or the State,
but he has received NO encouraging word
One of the largest grocery firms of this
city heard there was a small consign-
ment of olives in Santa Barbara county.
Application was Immediately made to tht
board OF trade to lend It's assistance in Sc
curing this consignment. These olives are
of inferior quality, yet the grocers are
eager TO secure them.
People who learn To Ike the Callfornis
olives are not satisfied and will not eat
the imported ones. The California Oliver
are not picked when green, as are the
olives in Europe which are exported.
They are tender and have more flavor
There's no use trying to pursuade people
TO take the imported brand said Secre-
tary Filcher recently. They won't listen
to you. That's what makes the whole
situation so unpleasant for the grocers.
They can't fill their orders, and people
can't understand why
Until within the last year or two
American people knew nothing Of Iipe
picked olives. They were used to eating
the green ones. The increase in the CON-
sumption Of olives has been somewhat Won
derful within the last year, and California
does not raise dndpickle a sufficient amJunt
to supply the demand.
Samples OF our olives have gone East,
and l am constantly in receipt of letters
asking where California olives can he mad
California has never been able to fill any
of the large orders from the East. our own
