THE ORANGE MARKET

Telegraphic advices from New York,
touching the orange market at that
point, are quite exciting, or would be so
were our crop not SO nearly cleaned up.
To date shipments have been for the
season from all points about 5000 car
loads. To compare this figure with for
mer years 1t 10 necessary to add 10 per
cent. a. the minimum car Is now $50
boxes. the cars averaging 834 boxes.
Last year tho total shipments were
about 5000 cars Of 300 boxes each; this
year to date, $500 such cars. There are
left here not to exceed 500 actual cars,
some say not more than 300 cars This
is the best showing in many years, rs
the whole crop will be marketed, and
before May 18th there will be hardly
car left outside Of few Valencia lates.
Those now here are nearly all seedlings
and are bringing free on board the cars
at point of shipment slips per box for
good fruit and $3.50 for fancy lots.
The aggregate shipments of all kinds
for the season will be about $500 actual
cars. or somewhat over 1000 cars Of 5000
boxes each. This is 1000 cars more than
last year. or an increase Of one-sixth.
It is quite as large a movement. we be-
lieve, as has ever been recorded.
The season began full month or six
weeks earlier than normal, and it has
been about that period ahead of time
all along. This has worked we'll for the
growers all through the season. Othe-
influences have been the absence of free
supplies from Florida. smaller ship
ments than usual from Italy, and the
destruction of early garden truck and
small fruits along the lower Mississippi.
The season as whole has been pros
porous one for the California orange
grower.
The crop has exceeded 2,000, 900 boxes,
about half seedlings and half budded
fruit. The price on the trees has been
nearly 81 for the latter and probably
$1.50 for the former The total would
be 81, 100000 Besides this there has been
the consumption at home, which would
add a very handsome sum to the above
figures.
If the deciduous crop does as well,
California growers ought to be fairly
prosperous.

LA FIESTA AFTERTHoUGHTs

Since the closing scenes Of La Fiesta.
people seem to have been doing little
quiet thinking. With all admiration
for our festival as whole and with
high esteem for the management which
10 successfully carried the affair out, vet
there are features which are calling out
some pretty caustic criticism. The little
mock court and the comic aping of roy
atty is the principal point Of attack Now
the astonishing thing about this matter
Is that the criticism comes not from ma
tive born Americans, but from citizens
Of foreign birth. These people who have
seen royalty at its best and at it's worst
are tired Of it under all forms and in all
guisee. They have seen the evil effects
of hereditary rule in their own old homes
They know the hardship 1t works on
the common people to have people born
to make laws and execute them whether
they are imbeciles, geniuses or philoso-
pliers. They know the evils of primo
geniture and hereditary privileges of all
kinds, and they know that despotiem
lies at the roots Of it all.
These people have come here and cast
their lot with US. They rejoice in the
blessings of a free government under
which all roads to honor and profit lie
open to all men and where worth, not
birth, counts.
Are they right in their criticism Of our
bit Of mock royalty and of our aping of
the ways of nobility with titles and priv
ileges which separate them from the
rest Of the world with barrier hard as
adamant and high as the stars? We
think they are, and that their indigna-
tion would become a good many Of us
of native American birth. And there
never was time when the manners and
ambitions of large number of our citi-
zens more loudly demanded that the
aping Of European courts. even in sport,
should be stopped. It is not so bad with
us as in some eastern cities where fire.

upon a platform containing the follow
ing clause: I'VE demand the free and
unlimited coinage Of both silver and
gold at the ratio Of sixteen to one with
out the consent of intervention Of any

This mornings news from the seat OF

troops are making steady advances both
in Thessaly and Epirus. The strategies
Of both Turkish generals. Edhem and

rious to bafi1e the foresight of corre-
spondents, and no one seems able to
recognize where the next important
blow will be struck. The Greeks are
temporarily stimulated by General Smo-
lenski's victory at Velestino, but its ex-
ternal effect will really be insignificant

superiority Of the Turkish artillery is

Moral sentiment in Tennessee has
not weakened on any subject, but
those who rule in high places pay
less and less attention to it. Chris
tian influence now amounts to little
above nothing. Not only does the
Legislature of the State disregard it,
but our cities and towns and mOnied
corporations ignore it. Both the
laws of God and the State respect
ing the Sabbath are set at naught as
if the great body of Christians had
no rights worthy of respect. The
sanctity Of the day is nothing to
saloon keepers, and will soon be a
thing of the past to hucksters and
keepers of small groceries.
The most conspicuous offenders at
this time are che managers of the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition.
Not content with voting conces-
sion for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors on the ground in opposition
to the widely expressed wish of the
people and over the protest of the
Ministers Alliance of Nashville,
they have, for several Sabbaths
past, allowed the contractors and
workmen engaged in erecting the
buildings to carry on their labors
as if there were no churches within
hearing of the saws and hammers,
and as if Tennessee had no statutes
for the protection of Sunday. This
is a fragrant violation of Christian
sentiment as we'll as of State law
in our judgment far greater sin
against God and the community
than selling wine and beer inside
the Enclosure. 1t is an evil object
lesson to our children, adapted to
undermine their faith more quickly
and effectually than anything else
that can be done. 1t is an open
violation of Gods law that they can
not fail to observe and note.-Chris-
tian Advocate.
