CALIFORNIA OLIVES.
Something That a Philadelphia Editor
Does Not Know.

We are quite sure the writer of the
| following, copied from the Grocery
| World - of Philadelphia, never tasted
the. California ripe picked olive If so,
he could hardly say they do not equal
the Spanish fruit: 4e
The California picked olive has
nfyer stood shadow of chance in
competition with the Spanish fruit, and
never will, for it is, of an entirely differ
ent., variety, and one which the public
don't want. There is, at, present not an
iota more of promise that the California
picked olives can ever secure foot
hold in the East, or anywhere else, than
there has ever been, to say nothing
about their driving the Spanish fruit
from the market
1t is evident that the writer quoted
knows very little about the subject, for
he speaks of the California olive being
IAN entirely different variety from
the Spanish fruit.
The truth is, Of course that the olives
of California are of the same varieties
as those of Spain, but are allowed to
rlpen before picking, instead of being
picked in a green state. And there is
as much difference between a ripe olive
pickle put up in California and the
green ones brought from Spain as be-
tween ripe peach or plum and a green
one. And the difference is all in favor
of the ripe olive pickle from California
Whenever the people of the East shall
become accustomed to the rich, nutty
olive as picked after maturing in Cali
fornia, it will be hard to work off the
green stuff from Spain upon them, and
even the half-grown plums that are
picked by the ton and sold to Phila-
delphia editors as Queen olives from
Spain will find very poor market. 1t
was not very long ago that Eastern ed
itors made the same predictions about
California raisins, prunes and oranges.
But as prophets they are not a roaring
success; hence we may expect to see
the better informed among them send
ing to California for a supply of our
peerless ripe olive pickles for their own

The deluded people who rushed off to
number to open the mines-if there are
any of value there-had already gone
in, are now flocking back to California,
in suffering certainly great deal wiser
than when they went out. The press
gave them full warning over and over
again. but the fever was on, and in
such a case nothing short of bitter ex-
perience will cool the greed of gold
seekers

however, justify the cost, for what man
would stop to consider cost when it is a
question of protecting his own life or
the virtue of the female members of his
family? The subject is one that can
not attract too much attention, for it is
one that vitally affects the very basis
Of the social fabric. ~ -

REVOLUTIONIZIN NEW YORK.

The New York Times says the only
opposition to the Greater New York"
movement comes from sentimental
conservatism in Brooklyn This is an
exceedingly neat way of putting it.
While the consolidation of Brooklyn and
New York should be made, we confess
that we admire this same sentimental
conservatism. 1t means loyalty to the
means love for the name and the fame
of the place. 1t means that there are
some things clustering about the his
tory of Brooklyn that the citizens feel
it will be almost saerilege to relegats to
ohscurity.
Though the two cities will be united,
yet this same sentimental conservatism
will preserve the name Brooklyn in
use among that people until the present
generation has passed away. 1t Will be
| in law New York. but among the peo-
pie of that section of the greater city,
il will be known as Brooklyn until those
now boys and girls have grown to the
full maturity.
| The bill which SO much disturbs the
Brooklyn people has passed both houses
| of the Legislature and received the
| approval Of Governor Morton. 1t has
been presented to the Mayors OF
Brooklyn and Of New York If either
disapprove of it-and one has
done so-the Governor may set
aside their disapproval. He will assur-
edly do that thing The consolidation
will take effect January 1, 1898. In the
meantime a commission Is to be ap-
pointed, which is to prepare and report
a new charter for the consolidated city
and submit it to the Legislature Of 1897
and the sum of $4,000 Is set aside to
meet the expenses of that commission.
At the general election in 1897 the first
selection Of new officers provided for in
the new charter is to be held.
This, it will be seen, means a COM
plcte ripping UP of the present form OF
Government, and the substitution of an
entirely new one. That will open ur
the whole debate as to what is the best
form of municipal government, and out
Of this debate all the cities of the Union
will draw profitable lessons Indeed
the creation of this new charter for the
second largest city among English
speaking people will engage the atten-
tion Of the people of the entire country
1t will open up all the lines of debate as
to distribution of powers, the complete
separation Of the executive, judicial and
Legislative departments, the question
whether the Mayor should hold all the
appointing power and be independent OF
the legislative in that matter.
1t will bring into prominence of de-
the legislative body should be chosen by
wards and districts, or out of wards and
districts and by the vote of the people
Of the entire city. 1t will make fore
most the important consideration
whether small or a large legislative
ibcdy Is the safest and most economical
whether something of the town-meet-
ing system shall not be injected into
municipal government and how much
nearer it will be possible to bring gov.
Iernment to the people. s&@s
Indeed, we shall look upon the work
OF the new commission as among the
most important of American transac.
tions, and the reports Of its proceedings
as worthy of the daily study of all citi.

appearance Of the business part OF the

shooting Array Near Co,ville.

Colville. April N.-Special.--A shooting
ARRAY occurred near town on Saturday,
which fortunately and miraculously did
not result in bloodshed. There has for
long time been a dispute as to the division
line between the farms Of l.. W. Meyers
and F. c. Feeder. The facts Of the shoot
ing as near as can be learned are that
Feeder, white removing portion Of q
fence erected by Meyers. was met by him
and his two sons and two hired men, all
threatening attitude OF the Meyers, ran
to her husband and handed him a Win
chester rife. Fodder then retreated be-
hind a small tree and L. W. Meyers and
his son Jake got behind two large posts.
The firing then began In earnest and to
kill. 1t is stated that fourteen shots were
fired, Meyers and his son firing at Feeder
and he returning their fire. That no one
was hit Is miraculous. as the tree and
posts are said to be riddled with bullets.
Mrs. Feeder had a narrow escape as one
bullet struck the ground not over ten
inches from where she stood. After the
shooting both parties came to CoiviIle, in
tent upon criminal proceedings, but upon
the intervention Of others the con,batar.s
agreed to submit the question Of disputed
to employ an engineer to ascertain the
correct line. It IL stated that Meyers with
his two sons and two hired men went 10
the scene of the trouble armed with two
Winchester rifles and other weapons to
oppose the action Of Feeder. who was
alone.
