CALIFORNIA; Bonanza .

A Pomona (Cal.) correspondent OF the
New York Times writes:
The most conservative estimates put
the present orange crop of Southern
California at 3, 4OO,O 900 boxes, and place
the market value of the same at about
S4,2OO,0OO Some believe the value will
run over $4,000, 900 before the season is
passed. The disaster from freezing
weather that overcame the ripening or:
anges of Florida in Decem Der d Year ago,
and the severe injury by frost to the
Spanish and Mediterranean crops few
weeks later, left the California oranges
almost SUP RENE in the An erican mark
cts. The present yield of the fruit in
Southern California is two-thirds of a
full production, but it is the cteanest,
best-developed, and most satisfactory
lot of oranges grown IN this region in
several years,
The effect of the demand for the Cali
fornia fruit was seen at once upon the
receipt of the news Of the freeze in Flor

not only jumped rs per cent but have
since been steadily advancing. This Is
he best year for money making by the
orange growers siuce 1890, and the pro-
verbally ''jubilant farmer" who is al,
ways read about in days of big crops AND
fine prices, is not TO be compared with
the Southern California orange and lemon
grower these days. Many a grower here
who has run behind in his business 'or
two years, and incurred debts, will be
made easy and comfortable by che sale
of his product this season. Navel or
anges (the big seedless Variety are bring
ing ST. 80 per box on the trees, and there
are reasons to believe they may go TO 81
per box. Seedlings are worth 81 4O a
box and Mediterranean Sweets are selling
right along at ST.. IS a box on the trees.
At such prices an orange grove that is
we'll kept and carefully and methodlcally
irrigated will easily bring from $3.50 to
$3.50 an acre. A few older groves will
bring over $575 an acre. The crop on
the Rhorer Orchard of sixty acres, in
Pomona Valley, was sod on the trees
few days ago for $33 500. That is the
best sale reported here this season,

EIectiops-Coaxf Defence.


MONTGOMERY, ALA, December l.
Governor Joseph f. Johnston was inau-
gurated Governor Of Alabama to-day.
The greater part OF his address was de-
voted to matters OF State interest, and
he went into considerable details as TO
the material resources Of Alabama, and
the possibilities Of her agricultural
mining. and manufacturing industries.
In reference to national affairs, the
Governor said:
"The hot political contests Of this event
ful year that aroused so much passion,
arc now behind us. The people have
registered their will. and all good citizens
should yield cheerful obedience 10 their
mandate. If they have not erred in their
verdict on the great question that broke
party lines. returning prosperity will soon
confirm their judgment. II they nave
erred. no misrepresentation or coercion
can deter them from setting aside the
verdict and driving from place and power
those who have misled or deceived them.
The past is beyond recall, but the future
stands a willing handmade 70 reward
patriotic endeavor.
I'VE have nothing to ask Of the Fede-
raj Government except equal laws. ana,
perhaps. the perfection Of a system of
coast-defences that IN case Of sudden
war would enable our citizen soldiers
to defend this fair land from invasion
and maintain the national honor. Con-
sidering the gallantry of our brethren,
who in obedience 10 the call of duty
were prodigal i'm deeds of valor In the
war between the States. no one could
oubt that. should occasion arise, even
more splendid achievements would adorn
the defence Of home and national in
