The conduct of the Sultan of Turkey
is not understandable. One day he
apparently yields to the demands of
the Powers, and the next takes action
directly opposed to them. Just now
he has been given two weeks to think
over the last orders, and if he does not
obey we assume that another ultima
tum will be issued Then he will pre-
tend to comply and again balk and an
other order another wait, and another
ultimatum will follow. So goes the
game Has the Sultan a knife secret
ed in his boot leg and is he only wait
ing the opportunity to draw it?

OF RAISINS.


Fresno Republican: With a tariff of
213 cents a pound on raisins. they do not
promise to command as high price to
the producer as they did when they car
ried a duty of only 115 cents a pound
The Expositor.
The probabilities are that raisins Will
bring somewhat better prices than last
year; if they do not it will be due to a
heavier output this season. which at
this time does not seem probable.
Other things being equal, as a matter of
course the Strengthening of the barrier
against foreign competition will make it
possible to secure better prices. But if
increased domestic production should
negative the advantage of the higher
duty and prices should not advance,
there will still remain the general adj
vantage of increased revenue from the
foreign product that comes in. How
ever, there is every probability that the
advantage of better prices will also be
realized if the producers stand together
and demand the legitimate value OF
of their crops. Now that the question of
duty upon raisins and other foreign
fruits has been settled, with every prob

Los Angeles Record: Americans will
be inclined to substitute the transcon-
tinental for the transatlantic trip since
the excess baggage clause of our new
tariff bill operates to make English tail
oring and French gown designing a
very expensive luxury instead of an
economy. Less shopping abroad means
more travelling at home. Therefore
California may reasonably look for a
phenomenally large tourist influx the
coming season.

The work on the new tariff law
is being pushed forward very
vgilantly. In many instances the
framers are following the schedule
of the Mckinley law. Lead in
ores is given at I cent per pound,
and pig lead at cents. These
rates are less than the Mckinley
law. The rate on wool and sugar
have not yet been stated. The
wool growers and sugar manu-
facturers are watching this part
of the schedule.

a feeling OF satisfaction has taken

fall continues there will be an
abundance of water to irrigate

After long and bitter struggle
for the senatorship Joseph L.
Rawlins carried off the prize on
Wednesday evening. He received
80 votes to Moses Thatcher 20.
There were ffty-three ballots
taken before Joseph became the
victor. His friends were true to
him to the last, and showed a
determination that if he couldn't
get there neither of the other
two should. Moses Thatcher's
following is very much disgruntled
over his defeat but what can it do
now? If it goes to tampering
with the case in the senate at
Washington it may put the matter
in such a shape that Senator
Arthur Brown will remain there
tor some time to come.
