MALAGA RAISINS.

Malaga raisins are very good
raisins, very good raisins indeed, and it
Is therefore not cheering to know that
they are going to be expensive this
year. A great storm on September Is
swept over the famous Malaga raisin
district doing great damage not only
to the grapes still on the vines, but
to those that had been cut and dried
This heavy storm was followed by a.
succession of cloudy and rainy DAYS.
which made it impossible for the
grapes to dry properly, and beside rem
dered worthless large quantity of
grapes that were still on the vines. 1t
is now estimated that the raisin crop
is short fully thirty per cent. If there
should be a recurrence of rainy and
cloudy days the shortage will reach at
least fifty per cent. of the average
crop. Meanwhile, some of the mer-
chants who sold raisins on the basis of
August and September prices have
sustained heavy losses. The principal
losses have been in the so called
Malaga seedless raisins. There was a
heavy demand for these goods because
of the failure of the currant crop in
Greece, and now because of the short
crop in Malaga, the prices have adj
vanced one hundred per cent. during
the past thirty days.
California raisins are also very good
raisins, very good raisins indeed, and
Malaga raisin situation isn't as dis
tressing as it might be.

NO APATHY NOW.

Awhile ago there was so much apathy
in politics that the politicians were
afraid the voters didn't care any
thing about them and their country
Now the case is very different. Hard
and soft words are flying around like
English sparrows in a gale of wind. o.
casionally stones, eggs and vegetables
also fly around. Large and enthusiast
tic" meetings are addressed by large
and enthusiastic men who are running
for office or running for pay. Occasion
ally small but enthusiastic man gets
a chance to talk, and he makes the most
of 1t in the hope that he will at least
secure the approval of the large and
enthusiastic men, Voters go about the
streets in the evening in struggling pro-
cessions dimly lighted by red fire and
led by bands of more or less music, to
which step is fitfully kept. All is ac-
tivity and the country Is evidently 60
ing to be saved once more.
1t is very encouraging to see that the
voters are so wide awake to the situa-
ton in the last week of the campaign.
The excitement will soon be over and
then they will see of the fruits of their
labors in behalf of good government.

AN IRISH HEDGE AT ITS 81

AN IRISH HEDGE AT ITS BEST
Would you see an Irish hedge in all
its splendor? Then see it now. See it.
as have to-day, in the light of Sep
TENDER sun; the heat and the haze of
August past, and the air, its superb
bundance of ozone acting like wine in
the blood, as clear as the light breezes
that sweep gently down from the
heathery crests of the SPERM noun
tains, so gently that they scarce move
the stray bits of nebulous cloud that
float across the morning skies-skies as
beautifully blue as ever domed Oylm-
pus, or arched the luxuriant Vale Of
Tempe.
The primary consideration is not
where in Ireland you see the hedge, but
when you see 1t. 1t is question of
time rather than place. Geographical
location is of secondary, if not slight,
Importance. Ramble, if you please,
along the winding roads from Glare to
Galway, the romantic route that Lev
ers soldier heroes prayed to have as
signed them; or take the eastern shore,
and going north from Waterford, by
Tara's ancient ruins. Clontarfs battle
fields, across the Boyne by Droghado's
walls, and thence through the Moyry
pass, of bloody memory, to DoWnpat-
rick; or leave the Dublin express, as |
did, near Belfast, and after skirting
Tough Neagh's banks, where, as in

cry shading strongly marked and all
aglow, for ten thousand times ten
thousand dewdrops reflect and refract
the morning sun, setting forth every
thing as in diamond light. The verdan-
cy of fern and briar, of thorn and

Those whose duty it is to nail cam
paign lies will be busy during the next
few days. We take pleasure in mailing
a good-sized campaign lie this morn
ing. Yesterday it was announced with
black and robust headlines that Grover
Cleveland had predicted Landslide
for Bryan. AS Mr. Cleveland had pre-
viously and emphatically declined to be
drawn into political talk, and as he was
known to be able to hold his tongue
when he wanted to, the interview in
which the landslide was predicted didn't
look very plausible. 1t now appears
that Mr.. Cleveland didn't say any such
thing. He did say: 1.-The whole thing
from beginning to end is an absolute
lie without the least foundation or a
shadow of truth. I have never uttered
a word to any human being that affords
the least pretext for such a mendacious
statement"
One! as the Count Of Monte Cristo
says when he has disposed of the first
of those whom it is his mission to dis
pose of.

What sights the human beach could show

What doubts, what creeping aims, what

What hopes, like fallen stars, would there

What wreckage where the surface calmly
sleeps,
for deeps.
Strange rocks of cruelty that lie con-
cealed,
Clad in pale weeds of vice, might rise

Where monster habits In their Shiny

Through falsehoods clinging brine Sc
curely glide.

Cyclists in New Zealand are strenu-
ously agitating to have cycling paths
laid down along the principal thor
oughfares in the colony, especially in
the vicinity of cities. Many of the
roads of the colony are roughly made
and in some instances only partially
formed and the majority of them are
indifferent roads for cycling. The
scheme of the cyclists is that all cycles
and cycle owners should be taxed, the
proceeds to be utilized in laying down
cinder tracks. A bill legalizing this
proposal and creating cycle boards TO
collect the tax and form and maintain
the cycle paths has been drafted and
will be presented to parliament when
ever it has received the full sanction
and approval of the cyclists. Mean
time the cyclists in some of the prin-
cipal cities are combining to improve
existing roads by voluntary subscrip-
tioEs.
