The orange crop of the current year
is to be no larger than last year in
California, and very small again in
Florida. Navels are scarcer in the
latter state than they are in 1895 and
bring much higher prices. The grow
ers in Florida are in a position which
affords them little encouragement, and
are reported to be generally convinced
that the state will never again assume
its pre-eminence in this industry.
California will profit by the measure
OF Florida's loss. So will Arizona in
due time. Eastern people who once
eat sweet Arizona oranges in Novem-
Der. a month at least before the Cali
fornia fruit is ripe, will demand them
in future. There is a promising out
look for the Arizona orange.

The strange death in New York of
Millionaire Frank p. Arbuckle, of
Denver, promises some good and that is
the enactment of a law recognizing the
administration of knockout drops as
a crime. As it is, the giving of this
colorless, innocent looking solution of
chloral hydrate to an unsuspecting
stranger. to his detriment, if not death,
can only be punished because of the
crime that follows-robbery or assault.
1t is now generally believed that Ar
buckle was doped. and the papers are
giving the matter their attention, in
the hopes of having this new crime Ct
"petering,' as it is called, placed on
the criminal calendar. AS there were
twenty-five murders in the past year by
means of the ''drops," the suggestion
meets with favor: and of these dead
twenty two. a scant half dozen were
ever identified, the others filling a
picking vat or potter's field as un-
known. Mourners of the ''mysteriously
disappeared" in other cities may find
the solution here-Ex

Orange Imports.

Up to December 9TH there have

points in Mexico 435 car loads OF
oranges to the United States and 10
cars more TO other gateways making a
total of $40 cars exported to different
cities north of the Rio Grande thus

The above table shows plainly where
that bulk of the cattle imported from
Mexico crossed the border and the
Mexican states which contr ibuted the
supply. Ell Paso, Tex, and Nogales,
Ariz., are the ports through which
the bulk of the cattle admitted from
Mexico have passed, therefore they
came from the states of Chihuahua and
Sonora.
Advices from the Mexican border
are TO the effect that the importations
OF cattle from Mexico during the win
ter months will hold up to the October
and NOvem ber figures. The Corralitos
Cattle company. Britton Davis, man
ager, and Fenchler Bros, have been
the principal im porters at El Paso, and
the indications are their importations
will continue for some time. The Cor
ralitOs company's cattle have been
taken to the old Kentucky Cattle com
pany's pasture in Crosby county,
Tex, and which is located in the
northwestern part of the state.-Kansas

a freight train with fourteen cars, a
lighted caboose and full sized loco
motive, with engineer and fremen,
crosses the stage in the most realistic
and noisy manner, while later in the
play great Mississippi river steam boat
with bells and whistles and engines in
full operation, moves in and explodes
with terrific force. A great scene is
also given OF Niagara in real tumbling
water. The company is a most efficient
one, and there is a great deal of fun to
go with the sensational effects. A
special car for the scenery is used, and
every detail is carefully looked to in
the stage production of the play.

Pumping Out a Lake.

Near Ishpeming, Mich, is Lake
Angeline. body of water a mile long
and averaging half as wide. A few
years ago large bodies of iron ore were
found under it by means of Il diamond
drill, and several mining experts
thought it worth while to pump it out
Accordingly an immense centrifugal
pump was placed on a float anchored
over a deep part. The discharge pipe
had several flexible joints in it to cause
no delay as the water lowered and let
the pump down with it. In the summer
of 93 this enormous pump began to
discharge water at the rate of 10000
gallons per minute. It was kept work.
ing continually for two months, having
completed its task in that time By
careful calculation, Lake Angeline
was found to contain 500, ,O0O, 900 gallons
of water. The ore taken from beneath
the lake has more than paid for it's
removal, and large quantities are yet
in view.

A question That Needs Attention.

The New York Sun comments favorably
upon a resolution adopted by the Contra
Labor Union of that city last Sunday. All
extract from the resolution reads as fol
lows: I'VE recommend the passage of the
| Lodge Corliss bill to restrict immigration
For a number of years bills have been
introduced into congress having for their
object the restriction Of immigration. They
have been introduced in response
to steadily growing sentiment
in favor of shutting out thar
large class Of immigrants who locate
in our large cities and become what is
known as sweat shop" labor. Accustomed
to work for almost nothing in the land of
their nativity, a slight advance of wages
in this country satisfies them. They live
on few cents a day, and are therefore
able to underbid the native American la
borer in the labor market As a conse-
quence the native American laborer is
compelled to acceIN the compensation for
which they are willing to work and drop
to their Level of living or seek new fields of
employment, and new fields are hard to
find.
The question which presents itself is
this; shall we keep our doors wide open to
the pauper labor of Europe, or shall we
give our native American laborers a fair
chance to make decent living? 1t seems
to us that there is but one answer to this
question. We should give the preference to
the native American.
do NOT moan that all ir1r1forat{ Op
should be prohibited. There are classes of
immigrants that are very desirable. They
come with the purpose of making homes
for themselves. They become either
thrifty farmers or successful tradesmen
and business men. They are very different
from the tens of thousands who annually
come from Eastern Europe and who find
employment in the sweat shops, the coal
mines and in constructing the road beds Of
new lines Of railroad
Those who do not watch the reports Of
the arrival of immigrants do not realize
how many reach this country each year.
For the year ending June 30, last, the
number was 343 2J7-S5,OOO more than for
the previous fiscal year. Fully third of
them were from Eastern Europe
1t is surely time that congress took hold
of this matter earnestly. 1t concerns great
ly very large number of the people of
this country. Unless something is done for
their welfare ON the line suggested we
shall see greater signs Of discomfort than
have yet been apparent.
The trouble in framing an immigration
bill is the conflicting interests that de-
mand to be satisfied. 1t is evident, how
ever. that it is impossible to satisfy all
interests and that if bill is to be passed
that will do justice to the working classes
congress must take hold of the matter
with firm hand, and with a total disre-
gard of the wishes of those who are in
huenced only by selfish interests.

CouId Not Re Fooled.

Detroit Free Press. Ring him up; it's

The gong was rung in No. IA, but no bell
answered.
GO up and rap on his door," said the
clerk. maybe something is wrong"
The boy came back white and excited
to report that the man in No. IA could not
be reused.
''Ha," said the clerk, "Tve been ex-
pecting this" and he rumpled his hair and
assumed a look of bravado as he stepped
into the elevator on his way to No. II,
where he raped with dramatic force on
the door. arousing all on that floor, but
getting no response from within.
''Ben," he said solemnly to the fright
ened bell-boy, ''you must so through the
transom and waken that man."
"Do-d-do you f-f-fear a-a-nything?"
asked a shivering guest.
Eyes, sir, 1 fear the worst" said the
clerk; this is really No. 10, but we skip
ped a number and made it IA. But you
can't monkey with fate. and l am afraid
it's all up with that poor man.
Then he boosted Ben, who was too
frightened to resist over the transom
The boy landed inside, and with one wild
scream opened the door-which was not
even locked-and walked out.
"Ain't anybody slept there" he said,
rubbing his shins.
