G. Nj. Heintz, HorticuIturist of
California, Gives an Opinion.
NECESSITY FOR ORGANIZATION.
What Has Helped the Fruit Grower of Cal
ifOrnia-Fumigation For PestS-Try II on
the Japanese Beetle-What Inspectors May
Accomplish-Large Trade May be Built.

C. M. Heintz, editor of the Rural
Californian, whose arrival was men
toned in these columns early in the
week, is enthusiastic on the subject of
horticulture in Hawaii and sees a
great future for people who wish to
embark in the business of raising
plants for shipment to the United
States and Europe.
But said Mr.. HeintZ, from my
experience as a horticulturist and as
an officer in various organizations de-
voted to the interests of horticulture
in that state, can see that something
is needed; an organization different
from anything you have here and
something that will advance the inter-
ests, and protect them, of the planters.
California has taken position. in the
front rank of semi-tropical fruit-pro-
ducing States, but the position could
not be maintained but for the fact that
the growers have an Organization and
the State appropriates money for the
services of men who act as commits
sioners and inspectors of plants and
trees.
"You have Commissioner Marsden,
large as this? He is expected to do
what we have forty men to accomplish
and / am really astonished to see what
Mr. Marsden has done. Let me tell
you of our methods in Southern Cali
fornia: There we have forty men en-
ployed to inspect all of the orchards
in seven counties and report to the
commissioners. Some counties, the
smaller ones, have but one commission
er, others have as many as three.
when an inspector finds an orchard
with scale or any other pest
he at once reports it to the commits
sioner in his district. Then it becomes
the duty of the commissioner to verify
orchard to use such means as the char
acter of the pest may require to rid
the orchard. If this is not done inside
of ten days then the proper official of
and has it done. The expense is charg-
ed to the orchardist, and if it is not
paid it is charged as lien
against the property.
'"It is only by such measures as this
that California has become what it is
as fruit-producing state. If it were
not so more than half the trees would
have been destroyed, for some men are
glorious climate of Californy that they
will not go to the trouble, and slight
expense, of protecting their own in
terests.

Ye sons of freedom wake to glory!
Hark! bark! what myriads bid you
Your children. wives, and grandsires

Behold their tears and hear their cries
Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding,
With hireling hosts, ruffian band,
Alright and desolate the land.
While peace and liberty lie bleeding?
To arms. to arms! We brave!
TIL avenging sword unsheathe
March on! march on all hearts re-
solved
On victory or death.
Which treacherous kings confederate
raise;
The dogs of war, let loose, are bowling,
And 10! our fields and cities laze;
And shall we gravely view the ruin,
While the lawless force, with guilty
stride,
Spreads desolation far and wide,
With crimes and lood his hands en-
bruing,
To arms. to arms! we brave, etc.
o Liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous flame?
Can dungeons, bolts or bafS conIne 'lHee!
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world has wept, bewailing
That falsehood's dagger tyrants WELD,
But freedom is our sword and shield,
And all their arts are unavailing.

garding "union of forces" If the
Democrats at Chicago adopt our prin.

Cannon and their followers who had
the manhood and courage to walk out
of the Republican convention like men

Gratis, the bolting Republicans and the
Populists, and possibly the new Ma
tlonal party Of boiling Prohibitlonists,
can unite under any name, new or old,

WHAT WILL THE CAMPAIGN

press their views on questions or state
and national policy. Practically under
our existing system the opportunity
for doing 80 is very much restricted IL
not absolutely denied. 1t Is not my
purpose In this communication to dis
cusS the adViSsbility Of adopting a
system Of direct legislation, but to call
attention in q general way to the prob
able opportunity for giving any effec-
tive expression to the wishes of indl-
Vldual voters.
The most hopeful signs Of all in
the existing conditions are that
voters year by year grow to have less
faith in political parties and platforms,
become more independent, insist more
strongly on explicit declarations from
candidates of their views on leading
issues, and are, less inclined to blindly
follow party leaders. The members of
the Peoples party are of course lead
erS Of independent thought. While 1t
Ia said that the party is made up of
the advocates Of all conceivable theO-
ries and isms, l apprehend there ls a
central idea to which all members of
the party yield assent, and that there
Ia central purpose which all seek to
accomplish. That central idea Is that
justice should be done to every indi.
Vidual In the land, and that Justice to
each individual necessarily implies that
no one should receive more or less of the
good things Of earth than he merits by
his own conduct. The persons sought
to be benefited by all reforms are the
great multitude who. are either de.
prived of q fair opportunity to enter
useful emplOyments, or who, being en-
ployed, are forced to give up portion
Of their earnings to those who hold
such position of advantage as enables
them to extOrtit. The persons against
whom reformers' attacks are directed
are those who hold unmerited positions
Of advantage and by means of an as
sured title to property or the instru.
menCalities Of government levy tribute
on the many without themselves con.
tributing anything in return. 1t Is not
difficult to locate and classify these
persons In general way. They
include all mllllonalres, for no
one can possibly earn q million
dollars on any fair basis of
measuring the value Of services, for
this would be equal to a salary of $780,.
600 year, with expenses all paid, for
fifty years. Every person who re-
CeiVed an income In excess Of fair
return for his own personal services,
past or present, is beneficiary Of an
unjust system. We term these people
generally mOnOpOllsts, and the Peoples
party directs It's attacks against
monopoly In It's various forms.
The monopoly of money, the
monopoly Of land, the monopoly
ofthe means Of transportation and the
monopoly Of various public functions
are pointed out as evils to be attacked,
and the thOrOugh-going refOrmer does
not hesitstetO wage war against all at
once.
One thing perhaps many le.
formers fail to clearly compre-
bend, and that is that all the
evils Of monopoly are due either to un.
merlted possession Of wealth or to leg

1ne DAnKSO Cne greenD8ckS, the rail-
roads and the land question must be
dealt with in a progressive way,
though not of necessity taking the
most radical positions.
If the silver boilers and the Demo.
Gratis cOnfine themselves to the silver
issue, our people can do no better than
follow Clemens plRn-elect their Elec-
tors and instruct them that If the Pop.
ulist candidate has not a majority, and
Mckinley also lacks q majority, then
all prO.silVer Electors should unite on
a free silver candidate, presumably the
Democratic or bolter's nominee-if the
Populist nominee is out of question.
The personality Of a union candi-
date will probably cut a very small
figure. Upon genuine reform plat
form the average Populist could cheer
fully vote for Bland, Bryan, Boies or
Blackburn among the Democrats, or
Teller or Sibley Of the silVerites;
though, of course, long association
of our principles with Allen and
Butler and PETER and Watson would
make us naturally prefer one of them
the true and tried-for President.
In the same issue of the ADVOCATE
Senator M. Sem strongly presented
the single plank idea. 1t certainly
looks reasonable that one principle can
best be presented at time, and when
we have won the victory for silver and
secured Its free, unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage, then we could take
up the national bank, railroad, land
and other questions SeriGtim and settle
them. The chief danger In undertak-
ing to secure reform this way is that
~ q great many silver men, having
gained their point, will either do moth
ing to secure other needed reforms, or
will actively oppose such movement;
~ that after q victory has come to the
new political party, made up by new
alignment of forces, q lethsrgy will
succeed the excitement, as has always
been the case after great upheavSls In
the popular mind. The new set of
OfficeholderS will be content to feed at
the public crib and will forget the
wrongs of the people until years, per-
hsps, Of agitation produce another
landslide. Very few great questions
have been settled In American history,
yet four political parties have held
power more than 100 years on the glory
and memories Of past victories. The
Republican party ruled twenty. eight
years through two principles-opposi-
tion to slavery and protective tariff.
If we were to win the 16 to fight and
then had to wait twenty or twenty. five
years before settling the questions Of
trusts, combines and monopolies In
land, transportation and banking tissue
of paper money, we would simply pro-
long the agony of the dissolution of
freedom. The free silver victory would
be q hideOus farce. We would get
more money, but it, like all other pos
sessions, would pass into the hands of
the plutocrats.
Nevertheless we may hope much
from the spread of reform ideas. There
Is bond OF sympathy between and
among all real reformers. Few men
who believe In progress and reform are
so narrow as to think any one measure
Is q cure-all for governmental Ills.

vile broke her record in crime last
night when about 10 o'clock three
thugs with drawn pistols held up a
white man within sight of Main
street and the station house, and robb-
ed their victim of $1G5 in cold cash,
making their escape with ease. G. B.
Morgan came here from Henderson
vile q few days ago. Having been
out in the country some seven weeks
peddling leather and apples, he accu-
mulated a large sum which he care
lessly carried about on his person.
This fact, he thought, was known on
ly to his immediate associates. Last
night he left Morgan's lot, where he
and his friends were camping, and
went down TO call on Alderman Mac
donald. On returning he was met in
front of T. B. Whitmire's residence,
corner McBee avenue and Academy
streets, by two highwaymen, who
emerged in the dimly lighted street
from behind large oak tree. A
short, stout man, marked with red
handkerchief, walked in front of Nor
gan, leveled pistol in his face and
said: "By G. hand over your
money" For moment Morgan was
speechless with surprise, but quickly
regaining confidence, protested he had
no money and shouted for help. But
he spoke only once. Two other ruff
fans, tall and lank, stealthily but
quickly stepped up behind the victim
and gave him such a wrench about
the shoulders that he stopped shouting
to seek the faces of his new assail-
ants. But they lost no time. Pre-
senting Morgan view down the bar

demanded his silence while in mo-
ment they rifled his pockets. They

left he yelled again for help and Mr..
Whitmire ran out to his assistance
and showed Mr.. Morgan to the police
station. Chief Kennedy was not at
the station at the time but Sergeant

case. Up to late hour last night his
efforts were unsuccessful.-News.
