THE MELON RUN.
A Great Gathering of Wheelmen To-
Day at Stockton.

About fifty members of the Capital
City Wheelmen will start for the run
to Stockton at an early hour this morn
ing. Others went over by train last
evening, and one group will go by
train at o'clock this morning. Refer
ring to the great watermelon run to
Stockton, the Record" of that place
said yesterday:
The great watermelon run of the
Terminal City Wheelmen on Sunday
will undoubtedly be the greatest bicy-
Gle event ever held in this State. The
Terminal boys had special meeting
last night and will have another one on
Friday night, the object being to COM
plete the line of march, the list of
prizes and arrange for the reception and
care of the l 200 or l 800 wheelmen who
will visit the city.
Last night letters were read from
the Union Iron Works Wheelmen, the
Liberty Cyclers of San Francisco, the
Ariels of Vallejo and the Crescents of
Berkeley, saying they We're coming and
to save a 'watermillion' for them. The
Capital Citys of Sacramento wrote they
would be here on a special train.
1T was decided to give the visiting
Wheelmen and the home bicyclers q
lunch at the grove in addition to the
melons.
THE Terminal City's clubrooms will
be given over to the use of lady cyclists
exclusively, and a matron and assist
ants with thread, needle, powder, paint,
sticking plaster, bandages and chew
ing gum will be in charge. Union Hail.
in the same building, has been rented
tor the use of the men and boys. Both
rooms will be decorated in orange and
green, the club colors. Farmer Hansel
and Ed Fisher will do the decorating.
"A contract for 1,250 ripe watermel-
ons was let, the fruit to be delivered two
days before in order that it may be
properly cooled.
"A feature of the day will be the lead
of the parade. Twenty ladies from the
city and the Alpha Ladies Club of San
Francisco that headed the Folsom
street procession in that city recently
will lead the parade here on Sunday.
The Council, Supervisors and rail-
road company have all agreed to
sprinkle the roads over which the
Wheelmen will travel It's going to be
great day.

shipments Of grapes this season are
very much less than last season. Our
records show an aggregate of only six
carloads of grapes shipped this season
to date, compared with twenty seven
carloads to the same date last season.
Grapes in the early districts were seri-
ously injured by frost last spring. The
later grapes do not show much damage.
The crop of Tokays particularly prom
ises to be good, both as to quantity and
quality. The grape shipments to date
consist chiefly of Fontainbleau and
Thompson's seedless. A few early Mus
cat and Tokay grapes are going for
ward from the Vacaville district. The
first Tokay sold in Ney York Friday at
50 per single crate. Thompson's seed
less sold in Chicago on Friday at 81 70
per single crate. These prices are very
satisfactory, and are encouraging to
growers,
THE recent experimental shipment of
a car of fruit from San Jose under car
bonic gas process is reported to have
arrived in Chicago yesterday in very
bad condition. The peaches. plums and
prunes are reported to have arrived
cooked, and the temperature of the car

CONGRESSMAN Calderhead Of this
State said when the Senate free coinage
amendment was adopted: IF you
adopt this Senate substitute, every ST.
600 Of England's money will buy as
much property here as $1,000 Of the
money you propose for u.s." To which
the State Journal responds that Eng
land could not buy our properly unless
we wanted to sell, and we would not
want to sell unless it paid US to do 80.
And we might add that English capital
invested in bonds and mortgages woald
on that theory be paid with only half
the products and labor it now requires.
Its poor rule that wont work both
ways. But by the way Congressman
Calderhead seems to take a different
view from most gold bugs. Their gen
eral cry is that free silver will drive
foreign capital out Of the country.

ROUGH SAILING.

The republican party ship is having
about as rough sailing as the demo-
Gratis are, and the whole trouble which
threatens mutiny is over that so-cslled
dead issue, the money question, as the
following statement from the chairman
Of the national republican central
committee, Senator Carter of Montana
in reply to the eastern press which has
criticised his acts in voting with the
populists and free silver democrats:
"They say 1 am a traitor to my
party" said he, because l voted
against the consideration of the House
tariff bill. l am nearer to the repub.
lican platform of 1892 than those who
voted to take up the tariff bill. That
platform declared for bimetalism and
a protective tariff, not a New England
tariff. Dingley's tariff bill should be
labeled Reeds presidential bill The
horizontal increase does not help a
Western producer. 1t benefits New
England solely. The president says
we don't need any more revenue. Fig
ures show that under the present tar
if more revenue has been collected
than under the Mckinley law. Reed
expects us to vote for his tariff bill,
but gives us nothing in return for silver

VALUABLE RECRUIT.

One of the most powerful reinfcTee-
ments they have received, who are
struggling against the minions of the
money power is in the voice and pen of
John Clark Ridpath. Ridpath is the
leading historian Of America today and
even years ago he was fearless and out
spoken on this question. He has a big
head, an earnest heart. hands that are
willing and nerves that Arr firm. If
any think the history of the CRIME of
80 hangs on Luckenbdchs testimony
and a dead man rs tale. let him read
the words of this the II ost scholarly
and able ofliving American authorities.
In an article in the Arena, he says:
Words are Inadequate to describe
the profundity and crimiIality of this
scheme. 1t was carried into effect by
the act Of February IS, 1873. 1t was
done by a turn of ShylOck's wrist, SO
adroit and one might say devilish, as to
be indescribable in the phraseolgy Of
this world. 1t was an act on which no
king of the seventeenth century would
have ventured without iucurring the
risk ofrevolution. 1t was an act which
instead of being misrepresented by
those who have found 1t out and nailed
it to the gibbet of public contempt, has
never been adequately denounced. 1t
was an act which though subsequently
defended, even to the present day, by
all the purchased ability Of the world,
is nevertheless condemned by the con,
ecience and common sense OF mankind
as the most cold-bloOded, unjust, I'M
called for, unmitigated and damnable
outrage ever done in this country to the
rights and interests of a great peOplel
THE act Of 1873 abolished the stand
ard unit of money and account in the
United States. Until that time all
other coins in use under our constitu-
ton and statute had been made to do
obeisance to the silver dollar as the
unit of money and account. That dol
lar had never been altered by the frac-
ton OF one grain in the quantity of
pure metal composing it from the time
when it was ordained in 1872 to the
time when it was abolished from the
list of coins to be henceforth struck at
the minis of the United States. Every
other coin whether Of gold or silver had
been altered and altered again; the sill
yer unit never. To that unit all the
rest, both gold and silver, had from the
first been conformed.
''Not a single dictionary or CYCLIC
paedia in the English language before
the year 1878 ever defined dollar in any
terms other than of silver. In that
year the administrators Of the estate of
Noah Webster, deceased, cut the plates
of our standard lexicon and inserted a
new definition that had become neces-
airy in order to make the bond intrigue,
in Congress and out of it. consistp'

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.

From the date of the congressional
elections in '94, the republican press
everywhere has attempted to be funny
in ridieuling the peoples party by call
ing it dead, and also in preparing for
burial the money question. The To-
peka State Journal, the leading repub-
llcan paper in the State in number of
readers, has foresight enough to see
what is possible this year ard warns its
party that it can't drop the populist
demand for more money. AS to what
might happen this year 1t says: "It
looks as though the political history of
the year 1872 might be repeated in Il
way this year. The democratic party
finds itself in condition which effect
tually precludes any hope of success,
To add to the hOpelessness Of the sit
uatiOn split in the party when the
national convention meets, is almost a
certainty. In that event the goldbug
element, which viii probably be in con-
troll, vii! have the choice of naming a
ticket which tie masses of the party
will not support or of abandoning the
organization and joining with repub-
licans should they endorse the gold
standard. There would then be moth
ing left for the great majority of the
democrats to do but to unite with the
elements which will meet at st. Louis
July p, and that is probably what they
would do. Such a combination would
create formidable opposition and one
the possibility of which it is folly to
ignore. -
