This is polished nonsense. Lord Sal
isbury understands, as we'll as the peo-
pie of this country. that the present
administration Of the United States has
exploded its suggestions. The pro-
gram of the Republican party now is
to fasten still more firmly the shackles
OF the single gold standard about the
necks of the people of this country. Al
ready the eastern papers are saying that
the president will not push the idea OF
currency reform during the next session
of congress, for fear of disturbing the
prosperity that threatens to settle upon
the country. He will doubtless walt until
the fears of the people are quieted, and
then proceed to spring plan of currency
reform" in the hope that it will be
accepted in the temporary security OF
the present. and without regard for what
may come in the future. That the plan
will be emlnently satisfactory to Wall
street need not be doubted.
Politically it will, of course, be clnimeo
that the president has carried out the
pledge his party made al st. Louis, ard
his friends will demand that he be re-
lieved from further responsibility in the
matter of securing to silver its rights.
The scheme won't work. The friends of
silver will not be duped by it. They

BARLOW STANDS FIRM

The New York World is making great
fight against the projected steal in con-
nection with the sale of the Union Pa
cific system, and has evidently a plan
of it's own in mind to offer as substitute
for the proposed sale to the Fitzgerald
reorganization committee.

ceived telegram from the World, ask
ing him if he would support action on the
part of President Mckinley that would
secure to the government full payment

held that government ownership is the
only solution of the transportation prob

Of the Thurman act should be enforced,
and the road seized by the government,
as provided by law
Mr.. Barlow is entirely consistent In
the answer he sent the New York paper.
The loss Of $50 900, 900 is not the only is
cue involved in the proposed sale of the
Union Pa acific system. Should the road
be sold to the Fitzgerald committee, il
means that it woulu pass under the con-

Go not want the board of engineers and

Beneath it all, seriously speaking,
there seems to be political African in
the woodpie. The fire commissioners
are apparently afraid that the parties
of the first part are scheming to name
the engineers of the fire department.
Now. there does not seem to be any good
reason why the board of engineers and
the boiler inspector should have this pre-
rogative. On the other hand, with the po-
litical feature eliminated, there seems to
be no good reason why the board Of

BLANCO SETS THE PACE

Marshal Blanco, who supplants Gen.
Wey,er in Cuba, may not be as blood
thirsty as his predecessor, but his clos
ing remarks on leaving Spain for Cuba
lead to the suspicion that he, too, car
ries a typewriter as part Of his per
sonal baggage.
General Blanco declares that he goes
to Cuba with full confidence in the ef-
ficacy of the new program to insure i'm
mediate and certain success" But,
minute or two later, when asked as to
how long the war was likely to last,
Blarsco declined to fix cate. One of
his generals, however, had planned for
their victorious return to Spain seven
norths hence MATTERS might take
turr, to conform with his surmise," says
Blanco. "but if all ends We'll, it will make
no difference even if we do take little
longer to reach peace"
| 1t appears that the Spanish idea as
to what Immediate" war is, is somewhat
differec,t from the definition laid down
in the dictionaries. A great deal might
happen in seven months that is rot
down in the Spanish generals note
| book
1t has been declared time and again
that the Spanish generals ia Cuba and
in the Philippine islands are more con-
cerred about the amount of money they
can get during their administrations
than about the work they were sent to
do. 1t is hardly TO be expected tha t

Blanco himself puts it, sit makes no diff

The Spaniards make one fatal mis-
take. They CSC not take the Cubans int

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE
FARCE ENDED

1t has cost the United States $1OO, 900
learn that Great Britain will not take
part in an international monetary con-
vention, as proposed by the American
international bimetallic commission.
The British government says that it
cannot reopen the India mints to the
coinage of silver ''at present" 1t will
be observed that Lord Salisbury diplo-
matically let's the American commis-
siorers down as easily as possible The
English premier, moreover, regrets the
inability to accede to the proposals of the
American commissioners Great Britain
having as great an interest as the United
States and France ir securing a stable
par exchange for gold and silver, and the
enlarged use of silver"
This Is the language of polite diplo-
macy and means absolutely nothing.
If the British government was honest in
saying that it desired an enlarged, use
of silver. it would be willing to take par!
tom or else it would, on its own account
take steps in the right direction. If it;

DECIDUoUS FRUIT GROWERS

The 6eciduous fruit growers in this
right direction last Tuesday, when they
met at the Los Angeles chamber Of
commerce and organized the Southern
California Deciduous Fruit Growers ex-
change Costly experience has shown
that cxly through combination and or
gan,.za ton can the fruit growers prop
erly supply the market and obtain fair
prices for their products. While organ
ization was the main object of the meet
ing, interest centered in the address of
Mr.. j. A. Filcher, secretary of the State
Board, of Trade in San Francisco, who
spoke of the California exhibit at the
fair at Hamburg, Germany, asad Of the
possibilities that lie in the cultivation
of European trade, with especial ref
erence to the custom! of Germany.
1t would appear from Mr.. Filcher's re-
marks that the extent Of our trade in
California dried fruits with Germany
would be limited only by the enterprise
of our fruit growers and shippers so
good was the impression mace by the
exhibit at Hamburg, That being the
case, it would be a business crime not
to take a6vav1tage of the opportunity
thus afforded.
What is true of Germany could doubt
less be made true of the other leading
countries Of Europe. The Southern
California Decduous Fruit Growers
association can do a great deal in con-
nection with the State BoarG of TRADE
and kindred organizations to create a
market abroad for our Geciduous fruit
products.
Nor will the usefulness of the asso-
citation be cor,ined, to the commercial
phases of the fruit growing business.
Its members will doubtless learn valua-
BILE lessons from each other as TO the
best fruits, the best methods of raising
them, and as to the proper distribution

boilers of the fire engines. Or it may bs
that the engineers want to examine, the

Lemons in Cahuenga

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: 1t has been demonstrated that
the richest lands are the best for lemons.
Heavy black soil is better than the light
alluvial soil; it makes a more vigorous
tree and one that bears better. The
more thrifty the tree the less likely is
it to be disturbed by pests and the more
likely is the fruit to reach perfection.
The lemon is less in need. Of water than
the orange ard the richer the soil the less
water is required. Some lemon orchards
of three and four years growth in this
part Of the state, have gone through the
entire dry season without the applica
ton of any water ari. have flourished;
but they were on heavy soil. In light
soil water would have been irdispens-
able.
In the Cahuenga valley more attention
has been given to the cultivation Of the
lemon of late years than to any other
product. Great success has attended the
enterprise wherever 1t has been faith
fully prosecuted, ard much valuable in
formation has been obtained by the ex-
perience of the growers there. The late
Mr. Hurd, who was really the pioneer in
that industry in Cahuenga, was very
pronounced in his judgment as to the
kind Of soil best adapted to that product.
He greatly favored rich soil and rec
ommend,ed fertilizing also. His trees
were irrigated, but only with so much
water as we'll would supply. Doubt
4,
ard, orr any sort of land. will add to the
quantity and quality of the fruit; but
on very rich land good crop may be
looked for with little or no water during
the summer.
People not familiar with lemon grow
irg may not be aware Of the fact that
the lemon has no particular season for
its fruit, but all seasons. 1t bears the
year through. On the lemon tree at any
time can be seen blossoms and. ripe fruit
ard fruit in all stages of growth be-
tween. Lemons can be picked every week
in the year. OF course the growth is not
so rapid in the colder months. but the
growth is never entirely suspended. The
home Of the lemon is in frostless coun-
try and in that respect Cahuenga val
ley, being without frost, is admirably
| fitted for it. The opinion, is quite prev
alent that the lemon thrives best on sea
| air. Whether it is the air. or absence OF
| frost, that conduces to its growth, may
| rot be determined.
| The lemon is the easiest kind of fruit
to handle for market. 1t is Of no trouble
to cure, in fact it cures itself. 1t may be
picked quite green and will ripen in the
boxes when stored away in some builc-
ir.g ard left for that purpose. They are
repacked with some care when shipped
east and that is the most work connect
| ed with their handling.
The orchards in the Cahuerga valley
are all quite young. but The exchange
there has sent off his, its first year, more
than a dozen carloads, each car holding
upwards of 300 boxes each and each boz
upwards of 300 lemons. Hereafter the
shipments will be much larger.

THE CHILKOOT PASS PROBLEM
SOLVED

We learn by private advices from Ia
coma CWashington) as we'll as from the
Tacoma Ledger, that the problem how
TO rapidly and cheaply transport freight
and passengers over the dreaded Chill
koot pass has been solved. Work has
been commenced on narrow gauge rail-
road from tidewater at Dyea (Taiia) to
the mouth of Dyea canyon; thence an
aerial tramway-using the Bleichert eys-
tem-eight and a half miles long, will
transport freight lifting it thirty-five
hundred feet to the summit Of Chilkoot
pass and then let it down five hundred
feet in distance Of one mile, to Crater
lake. The line is to be in operation by
January 18th next. Thus" says the
Tacoma Ledger, "a famine in Dawson
this winter is entirely precluded, since
eupplies can be taken to Dawson over
the ice in thirty days" When this rail-
road and tramway are completed men
can step from steamboats, to cars at
Dyea and in twenty-four hours be landed
with their outfits, at Lake Linderman.
Not only will the cost be greatly re-
duced, and a months time saved by
each miner, but practically all the hard
chips of the Yukon trip will be re-
moved, for the tramway will carry both
boats and sleds across the pass"
The same paper is authority for the
n. a terrert that hacking on the pass now
costs 3S cents a pound or $760 ton, and
that under the new mode of transporta-
ton it will cost only about one-third
that sum. This is surely good news fol
