Country Producers Will Ask Why 1t Is
Delayed.
Word was received yesterday by John
T. Randolph that there is concerted
movement among the fruit-growers OF
Sacramento and Santa Clara counties to
insist that the Harbor Commissioners
take immediate steps to carry out the law
that requires the building of free mar
ket.
There is also, it is said by those inter-
ested, a concerted movement among the
prod uce-d callers of the City to oppose the
building of the market. 1t is expected
that there will be a mass-meeting of the
producers at an early date, and the result
will probably be an inquiry as TO why
steps are not taken to carry out the pro-
visions of the law

Heves that the recent course of Japan
will hasten international bimetallism.
When silver is demonetized in all the
leading nations of the world it will not
give England the same advantage that
she possesses at the present time, and
with not sufficient gold to transact
business something must be done to
relieve the strain. Probably no man
is giving the question the same careful
consideration at the Rresent time as
Senator Wolcott, who is fully aware
that a great responsibility is resting
upon him, as he has virtually fatheTed
international bimetallism, upon which
not only the prosperity Of this great
nation, but the civilized world depends,
and also his future political suprem-
acy. If international bimetallism is
possible, Senator WOlcott will see that
it is obtained. The republican party
stands pledged, and the senator will
not stand idly by and see the pledge ig-
nored. To this extent, if 10 further,
our junior senator should be given the
encouragement and aid of the people.
lie will either be largely instrumental
in bringing about bimetallism OF he
will succeed IN tearing the mask off
under which so many hundreds of thou
sands have been parading and thus
place the issue squareiy before the
voters of these United States-gold and
silver for the masses or mouOmetallism
for the rich, which in itself viii be a
blessing, as with international bimet-
aHism proven a deIusion the eyes of the
people may be opened. Let us assist
those who assert that the republican

then if the party proves recTeant to its
promise It cannot say il was hampered
by the friends Of silver. - Durango

Not Funny to Her.

You would not suppose there was
much fun in bear, but people who
live where these animals abound de-
clare that they play tricks with folks
now and then. There is a Pennsyl-
vania woman who can testify to this
fact, She went to visit a neighbor a
mile distant, the path leading through
the woods, On her way home after
travelling a quarter-mile, a bear sud-
denly rose up on its hind feet in the
middle of the road ahead of her.
With great presence of mind, she
lodged into by-path. She had
not gone another quarter-mile be-
fore bear rose up in front Of
her and pranced around. 1.-THE
woods seem to be full of bears" she re-
marked to herself, as she made bee
line through the woods to the main
road. To her dismay, before she had
gone 100 yards on the road, there was
q big bear prancing like the other two.
at this sight her courage gave way
and she yelled, and the bear almost
fell over itself running through the
brush. The woman ran home, and in
a few minutes her husband and the
hired man were out hunting the three
bears, In an hour they came back, and
the husband roared out: ''Bless you,
Mandy, there was just one bear, and
he was having fun with youP'-Golden

the ex-salOonmen, ministers, prohibi-

claring that the prOhibitory law must

statements in the press that Gov. Leedy

tempted to influence the county attor-
ney to allow saloons to run and said
that while he did not believe the re-
ports, if they were true the governor

themselves in a ridiculous light. He

Illustration, and the tuck should therefore
be toward the heads, 50 that it will not pull
out.
The hand binding harvester with men TO
do the binding is out Of date, and so is the
left hand machine, which has been super.
seeded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, the success of which makes it seem
highly probable that there will be no pro-
gressive manufacturer building left hand
machines IN three years.
The application Of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. G. Perry
In 1869, and his patent, No. 1864, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear
lngs in haTvesteTs. In view of these facts
1t is somewhat amusing to read the claims
OF a certain reaper maker of the present
day, who says he was the first to introduce
roller bearings in harvesting machinery. As
matter Of fact this manufacturer is COM
paratiYely q beginner in the art Of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
UnquestioGably the most practical and sat
lsfactory application of roller bearings to
binders and mowers has been made by the

court against railroad pools and trusts

The agreements of the new associa-
