Articles of incorporation nave peen nied
at Fresno for company which proposes
to erect fruit warehouse where fruit may
be placed and certificates issued as for
stored grain.
A fruit cannery at Fresno is intending
to manufacture fruit brandy from refuse
fruit of various kinds not good enough for
canning purposes.
oliver & Co., of Valencia, Spain. write to
the California Fruit Grower touching the
Spanish raisin crop of 1895 as follows:
I'VE have again to review a season of
rain damaged raisins. with all the con-
sequences attending this mishap. Damp
and rainy weather visits our districts
one year after another at the time of curing
the fruit each in succession increasing
the intensity of the damage, and 1t looks
as though this rare and abnormal calamity,
which was considered only like an epidem-
ic, before $780, for only at distant intervals
were we made to suffer it, threatens to
become epidemic. as Since the season
above named only in 1892 have we enjoyed
dry and propitious weather. The damage
to the crop in the season now closed has
been very severely felt, because while
the rain and damp in August ravaged the
early fruit, those of September not only
wrecked the bulk of the yield then in pro-
cess Of drying. but destroyed altogether
the second crop, very valuable in years of
short out turn like the one under review.
and thus deprived us of about $500 tons of
fruit. Our crop has therefore only reached
24.0OO tons. and, of this perhaus not 10000
tons were of raisins that would keep sound
for, three months The lack of keeping
qualities noticed in the fruit directly Oc
tober is passed seems to point to some
grapes carry with them, for the dam
age by rain by itself does not altogether
account for 1t. AS we anticipated. the
United States market has altogether col
lapsed for our raisins, as 10 Is shown by
the enormous decrease of our exports
there: and as the California crop appears
to grow at a much higher rate than the
consumption of raisins increases in the
states of the union, the California packers
feel they want wider field for their arti.
cle and we hear that their enterprise
caused them to try their hand in Europe
this season unsuccessfuliy. Anyhow, the
effects of their competition. have been
somewhat felt in Canada, and 1t threatens
to wage us very active war there"

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
General HArrison Defines the Powers Of
the Chief Executive.


Ex-President Harrison writes on "Tne
Enforcement Of the Law" in The Ladies'
Home Journal and tersely defines the
power vested In the presidents to suppress
organized disorder. The paper brings un-
der consideration the legal points involved
in the railroaders' strikes at Chicago and
other points in the west and subsequent
riots by organized mobs and says: "It was
held that mail train was composed not
only Of postal cars but Of such other cars
In the same train; that the railroad COM
panies could not be required to run mail
cars when prevented by violence from
hauling with them other coaches assigned
to the train, and that any cutting out Of
cars from mail train was an interference
with the transportation of the United
States mails. So it was held that the
stoppage Of trains, freight or passenger,
running from one state into another-that
is, conducting Interstate oommerce-or
the tearing up Of or obstructing the tracks
over which such interstate commerce was
carried was an offense against the peace
of the United States.
"Such an offenss may be enjoined by the
courts and the army Of the United States
used by the president to restore order with
out waiting for any call from the state leg
islature or the governor for assistance. 1t
is not domestic violence In the sense Of
section 4, article A. of the constitution, but
an attack upon the powers of the national
government, and neither the request nor
the consent Of the state is needed to give
the president a right to use the means
placed In his hands by the constitution to
preserve the peace of the United States
and to see that the mails and Interstate
commerce are not stopped nor impeded by
violence. A strike of violence affecting a
street railway In city, or shop or fac
tory, or GOAL mine, or other local interest,
or a riot raised for the lynching of pris-
oner charged with an offense against the
state-all these must be dealt with by the
state authorities, save that the president
may be called upon for aid by the legislar
ture or governor

Reaching Out.

Atla Constitution.
 Col. John A. Cockerill, the Heralds S special correspondent in Japan, remarks on the eagerness with which the Japan ese are setting about the work of build ing up their manufactures. They are casting about in various directions, en- gazing in all sorts of industries, and are really making more headway than some of our own tariff blind manufacturers are willing to admit.
 Mir. A. H. Butler, California capital ist, is engaged in promoting some of these industries. This gentleman has contracted with forty-two manufactur- CTS in Japan to take only American cot ton from him, and he will begin with a monthly shipment of something like 4O0O bales. This will be increased shortly to 5000 bales a month and he hopes to make 1t 10000 bales a month in the course of a year. He will be able to place American cotton at the door of the manufacturer in Japan at something like 20 cents a pound Gin silveD and he predicts that from this time on not a bale of Ameri- can cotton will reach Japan by way of Liverpool.
 To this Colonel Cockerill adds the statement that the Japanese manufac- turers expect to place their sheetings and prints in the American market, "and they will certainly do so," he says. .unless prevented by the tariff" But the tariff will never be made high enough to destroy the advantages which the single silver standard has over the single gold standard

TINY SISTER IN VIEW Uncle Sam Will Probably Adopt
 St. Thomas. lN00LENT, LOVELY ISLE It Has Fine Harbor and Would Make an Ad mirabIe West Indian CoaIing Station
 for Warships

The forty-five states of this great union may soon have another little sister, or, for that matter, three very little sisters, to take care of-that is, If Uncle Sam buys from King Christian of Denmark three small islands in the West Indies, namely St. Thomas, St. John and Santa Cruz.
 Secretary of State Olney is in favor of the plan and it is believed that the pres ident sanctions it. Senator Lodge, who has worked assiduously to put the deal through, is confident of ultimate success. The fate of the purchase will rest largely upon the question of price, but II Den mark does not raise her offer of $6 000, made some years ago, the sale will prob ably be effected. There are some who claim that the national treasury is not robust enough at the present time to stand the strain of a West Indian con nection, but these are in a minority.
 In view of the probable acquisition, it is interesting to take peep at the islands and see what kind of a country the sons and daughters of Uncle Sam are going to own. All of the islands are redolent with history, and some of it not of a very pleasant character. The pi- rates of 100 years and more ago had fine time on these islands registering after successful raid on some rich merchant man.
 Nearly every tale of piratical times has something about Santa Cruz rum in 1t, and if these stories are true the bold buc- cancers got drunk on nothing else. Of course, Santa Cruz rum is a product Of the island of that name. It seems that the pirates put into Santa Cruz for the express purpose of taking aboard big supply of the rum. If they drank much

country articles of foreign make which have been landed at Charlotte Amalia. Vessels from St. Thomas are not watch ed as closely as vessels from European ports, and smuggling is comparatively easy.
 Pilots are never engaged by the cap- tains of vessels who have been in the harbor of St. Thomas before. There is absolutely no reason for the hiring of pilot as a vessel could not be run into dangerous place unless it were dope pur- posely. High hills surround the harbor and vessels in it are completely shelter ed.
 Seven-eighths of it's population are blacks, lazy and indolent. The tempera- ture averages 80 degrees the year through and is not conducive to violent work. Sugar is the main crop of the island and some tobacco is raised.
 Occasionally a tidal wave, and once in a while cyclone, visits the island, but these things only happen about once in fifty years. Altogether it is pleasant place to live for people with indolent na-
