GAMBLERS DRIVEN OUT.

The energetic and successful fight made
by the citizens OF Sausalito against a
swarm of gam blers who threatened, in
defiance of law, to open "resoIts" in that
charming little city, merits unqualified
praise. Our neigh bors across the bay have
done nobly 10 crush the evil scheme in
the shell.
Sausalito has promising future. 1t is
becoming favorite place for suburban
homes, and as a locality for summer resi-
dence its popularity is ever-increasing.
Its citizens cannot afford, no matter for
how short time, to jeopardize the good
name of their fair city by permitting a
horde of faro-sharps and wheel-of-fortune
operators 10 ply their nefarious games
within its confines. Needless TO say, these
so-called sporting houses" attract a
wholly undesirable class of people, and
exert a demoralizIng influence on the
young men and boys of community.
1t is well that the citizens of Sausalito
were fully alive to their danger when the
invasion was attempted. The games were
to have been running in full blast by Non-
day night, according to the programme of
gamblers; but law and order triumphed,
There will be no relaxation of vigilance.
No gambling hells, no vice-breeding dens
will be tolerated in Sausalito. The towns

bones as well ss a healthy moral tone.

REDBBMING THE PLEDGES.

That the American people will be pre-
sented with tho new tariff law as Fourth
of July present is the belief expressed by
leading statesmen at Washington. Senator
Aldrich has notified the President that
the tariff bill will pass the upper house
and be ready for conference about the 21.t
OF this month, and Speaker Reed has as
sured the chief executive that the confer
ence committee will consume no more
than week In its consideration of the
measure.
On the 22d OF June, or Immediately after
the passage of the tariff bill in the Senate,
President Mckinley, in a special message
TO Congress- will ask for power to appoint
a Currency Commission of not more than
fifteen members, his object being to bring
the matter before Congress and enable
that body to discuss and vote upon it
while the tariff bill is in conference. Our
National Legislature may then pass both
the tariff and the currency measure at
about the same time
The progress made with the tariff bill
has been highly satisfactory. On July 4
only four months will have elapsed since
President McKinley's inauguration, and
ne Will have fulfilled his party's pledge to
give the American people such a measure

industrial prosperity, in which all classes

DBATHBLOW TO FUSION.

Tom Watson of Georgia is to-day the
mos: prominent and powerful Of the Pop
ulist leaders. He has fought for princi-
pie, while such professed Populists as
Senator Allen of Nebraska and ex-senator
Butler of North Carolina have been fight
ing for spoiIs. He has maintained his
position in 1.-THE middle of the road" in
spite of strenuous efforts on the part of
Demo-Populists to drag him away, and in
spite of the savage abuse heaped upon
him by Pcpocratic tradesmen after they
had repeatedly tailed to sweTve him from
his devotion 10 the Populist faith.
The famous Georgian has finally tri-
umphed over his enemies. The PROPOSE
tion that the Populist conference, to be
held at Nashville, Tenn, on July 4, re-
solve itself into a convention to reorganize
the party by repudiaiing Chairman Marion
Butler and electing new National Com
mittee, originated with Tom Watson, who
is neither forgetful nor forgiving, so far as
the shameful treatment of HIM in the last
campaign is concerned.
Through his newspaper in Atlanta, Ga,
Watson is communicating with the Popu-
lists of the country in terms that cannot
be misunderstood.
Let US eliminate the three B's-Bryan,
Butler and Bargains'-he cries. "The
first repudiated Watson, the second is a
traitor and the third means fusion"
A dispatch in yesterdays CALL informs
rs that Watson now proposes TO take abb
solute charge of the party. His influence
will certainly dominate the Nashville con-
vention, and only Watson Populsts Will
be given place on the National Committee.
This latter body will command the allie
glance of the masses OF the party, and
Marion Butler Will find himself out in the
cold politicallv-his influence dead and
his following dream of the past
All this will have an important effect on
the other political parties. 1t will be the
death blow to fusion, as Watson firmly de.
cIaTes that IN future he will trade with
neither Republican nor Democrat Here i.
one point, at least, where every citizen
who has the countrys best interests at
heart will agree with Mr.. Watson. Fusion
has never been a success. 1t lowers poll
tics to the level of bargain and sale. Ii

PROFITS OF PRUIT-GROWGRs.

Fruit-growels throug hout the State will
find something of interest and importance
to them in suggestions made In his annual
report by President T. r. Weaver of the
San Jose Board of Trade. Speaking with
reference to the orchardists of Santa Clara
Valley "who have been able to realize
good living from the profits of their busi-
ness in the recent past" he advances the
opinion that it is possible for them, by
their own effort and under present condi.
tions, to increase the profits of their busi-
ness 25 per cent without materially adding
10 the cost of conducting the same How
can it be done? ''Simply by the organiza-
ton OF the fruit growers into cooperative
fruit-growers' unions is President Weav-
er's answer. Five of such unions already
exist in Santa Clara Valley, and these
furnish ample evidence of the soundness
OF Mr.. Weaver's opinion.
81 take the position after several wears
of practical experience and close observa-
t1on," says Mr.. Weaver, "that the produc-
ton OF the fruit, and the curing, packing
and selling OF it, are entirely separate and
distinct propositions, and that when the
average fruit-grower has properly cared
for his orchard and brought his fruit to the
highest state of perfection and taken it
from the trees, he snould then entrust the
further care and disposal OF it to some one
specially prepared and qualified to do So"
According TO this same authority every
fifty orchardists should have a co-opera-
tive jrier located at some convenient
point. Twenty acres is about the
average size of orchards in Santa
Clara Valley. The average crop of green
fruit is estimated at fve tons TO the
acre, and, therefore, each drer would
handle about 5000 tons of green fruit A
cooperative drier such as would take care
OF the fruit of the fifty stock holders, with
all the necessary machinery and appli-
ances, including a good building on leased
land, would cost not to exceed 1000, or
500 for each of the fifty stockholde ers.
mo individual grower with twenty acres
OF fruit can fit up a drying plant with the
necessary dippers, graders, sulphur
houses, trays, trucks, tracks, ETC., to
properly prepare his fruit for market for
twice the last-named sum-"
Mr.. Weaver declares tn at if 80 uer cent
OF the fruit of Santa Clara Valley could be
packed by unions the growers would real
iZe 70 per cent more on their products
The fruit grown and packed by the fruit
growers unions commands not onIv the
preference but in many cases a better
price than fruit not under their brands
The reason for this is that they have
adopted a uniform system of grading
drying and packing, and the dealer has
learned that he can depend absolutely
upon the package under these brands con-
tanning exactly what it purports to con-
tain.'
Citing his own interests, for example.
Mr.. Weaver showed that last season.
when thousands of tons of prunes were
sold by individual growers for less than
SO per green ton net. the prunes sold by
the cooperative union to which he be-

will share. Th're has been no delay on
the part OF the administration.
Such expedition, of course, does not
meet with the appreciation of the Demo-
cratic press, which is naturally antag-
onistic to protective tariff. The free
trade organs would not be consistent
II they did not keep up the small-fire of
abuse aimed at the President. In this
they are ably assisted by that free-trade
journal on the other side OF the Atlantic,
the London Times. which on Monday
opened up one of its editorial batteries to
the following effect:
Six months have passed since Mr.. Mckinley
was elected, yet nothing las been done to re-
deem the pledges to which the business world
attached the chief Importance.

WATER AS A PROTECTOR.

The wisdom of having large water
mains in the manufacturing districts of
the City and in those districts in which
the buildings are crowded and built of
material that burns rapidly was illustrated
in most forcible manner by the fire in
the box factory on Berry street last Mon
day afternoon.
The building stood in the center OF a
block crowded with highly infammable
stuff-lumber piles-which ignites read
lily and, next to hay fire, the most
difficult 10 master. The engines respond
ing to the alarms took suction from the
hydrants connected with the 12-inch main
which was recently substituted for a much
smaller one on Berry street. and seven
teen streams drawn from it at one time
did not affect the supply, but furnished
the means by which the fire was pre-
vented from reaching adjacent property
and vast territory saved from the ravages
of the flames.
At the previous big fire In the south
ern part of the City about three
years ago there were but small water
mains for the engines to draw their sup
ply from, with the result that when one
engine took suction at hydrant it con-
trolled the flow, and the engine below it
could not obtain water enough to throw a
stream twenty feet from the nozzle. At
the fire on Monday seven streams from
the fireboats did effective work, put even
without them the supply of water would
have been sufficient to enable the depart
ment 10 accomplish what it did.

ment and with Chief Suliiyan's idea of
many engines at the start and large ater-
mains it is safe 10 assert that no wide
