INJURED BY A RUNAWAY
Thrown From His Wagon by q Collision
With q Wild Team

A runaway accident in which a fruit
dealer named Max Cohen sustained
painful and perhaps serious injuries, oc-
Cured last evening shortly after o'clock
at the corner Of Fifth and Los Angeles
streets. Cohen was driving along Los
Angeles street in light wagon when a
team attached to a tWo-seated buggy
swung into Los Angeles street from
seventh street and came tearing along
at a furious pace.
Cohen tried to steer clear of them but
they nit his rig with crash that could
be heard for some distance. Cohen was
thrown from his seat, alighting on the
ground on the back of his head. The
runaWays tore themselves loose from
the Nenlcle attached, leaving it a wreck
ana separated, disappearing in different
directions. Cohens horse took fright
ana also ran away, not having been
lound since. Passers by ran to the in
Jured mans assistance and telephone
was sent for the patrol wagon.
At the receiving hospital Cohen's in
Juries We're found to consist of a badly
confused head, with perhaps concus-
SION of the brain. He was at his re-
quest conveyed to the home of his
brother at All South Main street in ar
ambulance. The fun extent of his in
Jur1es could not be determined last
night, but it is not probable that they
are dangerous.
one of the runaway horses was cap.
tured later on Grand avenue between
Seventh and Eighth in badly bruised
and cut condition. It's mate was founC
away out on lngraham street an hour
later. 1t is not known to whom the
tWo-seater and horses belonged, as nc
one has yet appeared to claim them.

A PLRVEYOR TO THE WORLD

lation or otherwise, an appetite and d.
gestion competent to consume all that
the rural population Of the United
States, under the present system of till
| age, can produce. .h~
| In view of these facts foreign mar
kets must be invaded and held by Amer
lean producers. Demand for a commod-
| ity creates value in that commodity.
What California needs Is foreign de-
| mand for her fresh fruits, for her dried
fruits and for the products Of her vine
yards. No system of advertising or ex-
ploitation can create the demand and
make 1t permanent. but the fruits and
| wines themselves. If honestly put up
and placed in the market so that they
shall be true to name will create de-
mand equal to her wonderful capabili-
ties Of production in all the civilized
markets of the globe.
No citizen, fruit grower, packer or
winner in this state can afford to ship
an inferior article abroad. Only the very
best fruit, properly and carefully pack
ed, and only the very best wines and
brandies unsophisticated, can allure
and secure demand abroad. COMPETE
ton in all lines of trade is constantly
intensified in every market Of the earth
and as in the prize ring or on the race
course only the best muscle can legiti-
mately win, so In the worlds markets
only the best commodities can be pro-
fitably sold. The American producer
should, therefore, be honest from pol
icy If not from principle With the world
in condition of profound peace. there
is a constant strife as to who shall in
wade and hold its markets. Business
everywhere is being done on smaller
and smaller margins of profit.
Political economy has generally been
written from the standpoint of the pro-
Queer. Those periods during which
prices are high have been generally
called good times, but the economic
millennium will be when all humanity
is oftenest fed and best clothed at the
smallest possible cost to each individ-
ual. sCain and Abel offered the fruits
of the earth, so now all the nations are
offering them in all the markets And
in this fraternal contention those who
offer the best at the lowest prices will
capture and control No legislation, no
edicts and no trusts can overcome hon
est quality in the commodities offered
for sale. Nowhere is the law of the sur
vival of the fittest executed with more
unrelenting vigor than in the markets
of trade. Therefore. California has
patent by virtue of her climate and soil
for becoming the imperial purveyor of
luxuries to all civilized peoples Her
fruit growers and viticulturists are in
partnership with a soil and sunshine
which makes them almost invincible
against competitors from whatsoever
source provided their commodities go
unsophisticated. unadulterated and in
all their natural luciousness to their con-
sumers. An enlightened selfishness will
stimulate this people to placing only
pure and honest articles on the market.
and this Will finally give success sat
isfaction and enormous incomes to her
people.

COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
MEETING

Tomorrow afternoon the Democratic
take up for consideration and decision
the matter Of holding primary cleo
lions for the selection of delegates to
the county convention which will have
the duty of selecting delegates to the
state convention which meets in Sac
ramento June 1s
That the committee will decide for the
Democratic plan of precinct primaries
there ought be, and indeed there is.
little doubt The sentiment of the
Democratic masses, Of the people who
constitute the body Of the party. both in
this city and throughout the remainder
of the county, is overwhelmingly in IA
vor Of precinct primaries and CORES
pondingly emphatic in opposition to
ward primaries.
That substantially all the committee
men from outside of Los Angeles are for
advocacy of the ward plan is in the
hands Of coterie Of city members of the
committee who can only hope to carry
their point by adding to the votes they
can control among the Los Angeles
committeeman the proxies that absent
and careless members belonging to
outside districts have allowed to fall
into their possession. 1t is the duty of
every member of the committee to be
present in person and not in proxy, and
| it is especially the duty of the members
to attend.
Upon the last noted members will de-
pend the escape of the Los Angeles
county Democracy from the designs of
the arch-conspirator Of California pol
A. Buckley-who is
seeking to dictate the composition of
the delegation from this county to the
state convention for the purpose of
achieving both his own ends and those
Of the Southern Pacific company. which
has been his chief patron in the past and
promises to be again in the future if he
can become a dominating power in the
Democratic party of California once
more The country members of the De-
mocracy are as much interested in and
should be as solcitious for the honor
and welfare Of the party as those of the
city and it is their duty to be on hand
and help make impossible the delivery
Of the goods for which the blind white

fiscal year 1895 the United States ex-
ported total valuation of commodities
amounting to $l9S, 100000. Out of this
sum $553.2 15.311 worth was evolved
from the farms and orchards and vine

per cent, therefore. was left for all the

the value of European markets to the
American farmer. The labor of l. SOC, 000
human beings upon farms is required
to produce the field. orchard and vine
yard products which are raised in the
United States and consumed in foreign
parts. In the presence of these facts
even a blind man can see the vital value
of foreign markets to the farmer.
California, with its semi-tropical pro-
ducts. is one of the natural purveyors
of luxuries to all the civilized world.
The home market in California and ev-
erywhere else is valuable to the farmer
and fruit grower, but it is impossible

In the circular sent out by the Buckley
county central committee of San Fran
cisco purporting to give the record Of
various leading Democrats of California
on the silver question, through the me-
dunn of CARRIED reports of remarks made
by them in state conventions, an effort
is made to show that Hon. John p Irish.
one of the brainy Democrats of the coun-
try, was, a few years since, favorable
to the free coinage Of silver at the 16 to
I ratio. In order to correct the impress
sion thus conveyed to the public, Colonel
Irish has written brief note to the San
Francisco Call. in the course of which he
says:
Il sent to congress a protest against
the first Bland act for free silver in 1878,
and have consistently antagoniZed every
proposition looking to free silver, a
change in our standard money and the
debasement of our currency ever since.
II have not hesitated to oppose the
local platform of my party on that sub
ject as l opposed its protective tariff
plank in 1885. The proposition of the sill
Yer men is opposed to every principle of
Democracy and snubs every tradition
OF the party. 1t cannot be made DEM
ocratic principle by the declaration of
convention. Principles make parties;
parties do not make principles.
His statement that principles make
parties; parties do not make principles"
is commended to the attention of those
people who seem to think that a party
should take on principle or policy
very much as a man buys hat or
coat, and are eternally advocating the
taking up of this or that thing that they
fancy will be popular for the time being.
regardless of whether the idea to be
taken up harmonizes with the principles
which gave birth to the party. The sin
gle question for Democratic convention
to consider when a proposition is sub
mitted to it for endorsement, is not is it
popular, but is it Democratic? If De-
mocracy is right only that which is DEM
ocratic will be ultimately popular.
