CALIFORNIA FRUIT CONDEMNED.

D Y the Seattle Times we learn that the fruit in h spector at that city "has declared war on Cali AO fornia fruit with vengeance" It is announced that on one day he condemned as utterly unfit tor use nearly 400 boxes of pears and apples, mostly the former which reached the city from San Francisco
 In explanation of the against our fruit the in spector is quoted by the Times as having said San Francisco has been of the greatest known quar- antine stations against insect pests the American continent The work has been under the supervision of man who stands second to in reputation since the death of Professor Riley quarantine n- spector and has been paid large salary by the State of California. Nevertheless, San Francisco is and has been for the last eight or ten years to my knowl edge the worst infected city in the United States from pestferous insect pests and the second is Port land"
 The charge is one which it behooves the authorities here to investigate. It does not from an ir- responsible source, nor from whose opinions are of no value. When many 400 boxes of fruit are condemned in a single day out of the cargo of a single steamer it clear that fruit trade with the north is likely to suffer good deal unless something is done to remedy the evil
 Californians will of course make protest against the action of the officials of other States in excluding Californian fruit infected with pests We pursue that course with such fruit when 1t to us, and we would be glad to the same policy carried out everywhere with infexible ustness and strctness If infected fruit is produced in this State and the general market we wish 1t exposed and con- demned for our own sakes. It is well known here that the sooner such fruit rendered absolutely un marketable the better it will be for all orchardists throughout the Union.
 This much being conceded, it is not likely that we will be misunderstood when protest against the sweeping assertion of the Seattle official that San Francisco is to his knowledge the infected city in the United States with insect pests. No State in the Union has exercised more stringent supervision

FIVE DAYS FOR REGISTRATION.

H REGISTRATION at the main office at the City T Hall closed yesterday There remain five days for precinct registration. Those citizens who have neglected to register when they might have done so with comfort, promptness and convenience during the past weeks will have to join in the rush at the precincts. It will be better for them to do that however than to forfeit the right of voting and 1t is to be hoped all will attend to it.
 Up to this time all parts of the Union there has been evident spirit of indifference among the peo- pie regards the coming campaign In his address on accepting renomination for Congress Speaker Reed referred to this feeling something extraor dinary, something unprecedented in his experience with politics That indifference, however, is rapidly passing away. The has been virtually fought out, peace is at hand, and the attention of the peo pie is returning to home affairs. It is safe to say that even now in California more interest is taken in political news than in news and this predon- finance of political interest will increase until after the election
 Those who have expected the coming campaign will be notable chiefly for its lassitude will be dis appointed Those who decline to take the trouble to register because they believe there will be nothing in the State the Congressional contests to them or make it worth while for them to take an active part in the determination of the result cleo ton day will undoubtedly find they have made se- rious mistake.
 In California is clear the contest is to be be- tween the people and the bosses between the repre- sentatves of honest politics and those that stand for machine politics. In that fight there will be no apathy in any class of citizens. Every person. whether he stands for the people with the push will feel desire to vote, and those who have forfeited the right by their neglect will bitterly regret if.
 It goes without saying that the bosses will to 1t that their henchmen registered to man. No votes will be lost to their side Negligence of politi cal duties is vice of the better class of citizens rather than of the lower class It IS estimated that about 35ooo persons entitled to register and to vote have not yet been registered. Five days of grace main to them Ii their patriotic regard for the pub
 lie welfare is equal to their intelligence they will neglect the opportunity of these closing days. Nor should there be any delay further than is impera- lively necessary. All who possibly do so should register to-day.

over the fruit industry than California, and the or chardsts of no State have given more general or more cordial support to the fruit inspectors III en- forcing the law.
 That pests exist in the State is beyond question. They never can be wholly eradicated. Any such statement that credited to the Seattle man is how ever palpabe injustice, and if uncontradicted may prove to be injury our fruit trade as well as a slander upon the efficiency of our inspection. As the is reported by the Times it looks if the inspector had allowed his language not his official actions, to be biased by something like local preu- dice against San Francisco as fruit market and Cali fornia as fruit producing State

FOR THE HEROIC DEAD. /

THE country honors the dead who gave to it
 their lives. They to memory dear whether
 they perished in the harbor of Havana, before the whitening fire of Cardenas sleep, unnamed in the trenches about Santiago. Some have found rest in Pacific waters, and in the soil of the far Phil ippines But to their countrymen these soldier and sailor dead are all heroes, and to honor them is a common impulse.
 It is matter of regret that with precipitation ut tery shameless, because the hope of sefadvertising apparent, MT. Hearst and his brood should have proposed monument to those who have fallen, for no monument could be builded through means such characterize the Journal and Examiner without being designed perpeuate the foul repute of these sheets. To have them remotely linked with the enterprise ostensiby designed to comnem- crate brave and brave deeds insult un- speakable far gross than that there should be not so much as tablet of record
 It has not been forgotten that when the scheme the Journal made overtures to solicitors, promising them 10 per cent of all they might be able to collect Is this the method of unseshness? Does this savor of decency? Hardly; it is yellow journal ism Now the Examiner proposes to have given here great pyrotechnc display, to be under its management, the proceeds to be devoted to the monument it proposes to have the public erect to Hearst. The public has been worked to the limit. It
  cing to Willie's music again, for Willie always gets the credit and the public pays the fiddler.
 It will be remembered that a season ago the Ex- aminer ran baseball tournament for charity Throughout there misnlanagement, but the game was profitable. Occasionally of the surplus money would really be given to charity, and then there would be great blare of horns as for some thing magnificent, whereas the stated object of the whole scheme that funds might be raised for charity No hollower fraud disgusted observers or lined the pockets of sharper.
 There Is also lively recollection of the fact that the Examiner procured by subscription of money for the families of some iremen killed on duty. It retained the money, the legitimate had to bring suit, and then failed of getting that which the donors had intended for them, and for the Examiner
 Because of these things, more than because of the unreliabty of the Examiner a newspaper, the public will hesitate to add to the income of Hearst out of which he must pay the agent per cent, and of which there is no law to compel him to give an accounting.
 Let there be monument to dead, but let 1t be planned by people in whom there Is to have confidence whose motive is something higher than self glorihcation and who have not devoted themselves first to the creation of war, and then to the accentuatng of its horrors. The country is not ripe for monument to Hearst. Indeed, that gen tleman himself is not quite ripe for the distinction circumstance giving rise to varied emotions, among which regret is not the most prominent.
