The Cured Fruit association is en-
deavoring to get control Of 80 per cent.
Of the acreage. The officers believe
that if this is obtained the whole sur
plus can be marketed at not less than
cents. 1t is thought that the surplus
can be placed in foreign markets at
small differentiaIs.
At the headquarters of the association
it was stated that some acreage was
coming in, but that the association was
still much short of the necessary per-
centage.

MISS GoULD's MEMENroEs.

That Miss Helen Gould's kindness to
the sailors of the United States Navy
is appreciated by them is clearly shown
by the gifts she has received at their
hands. Every man o war that reaches
New York brings with it one or more
gifts gathered by the jackies to be pre-
scented to her. Innumerable odd and ex-
pensive articles adorn Miss Gould s
residence, tributes from the boys on
board the various ships. These gifts
have been picked up in most obscure
parts of the globe and many of them
are of priceless value. Miss Could 3

THE GAZETTE has abstained from
all criticism Of the local postof1ice
for several months past, believing
that the patrons of the office would
individually ascertain, through
their own experience. that change
IS needed. But in the interests of
justice and the commercial public
it must relate an incident of last
week. On Monday evening Thos.
G. Taylor of the National Printing
Ink Co. arrived in this city, where
he had ordered his mail sent. He
called at the Office that evening and
was informed that there was no
mail for him. Being in need of ex-
pense funds, and knowing that
check should or would be waiting
for him here, he concluded to write
his company that he would remain
here until the check arrived. After
calling at the Office daily and insist
ing on close search each day, un-
til Friday afternoon, he finally was
handed two letters from his COM
pany. In one letter it was stated
that his expense check, with other
letters. had been sent him on the
Saturday previous. and should have
arrived here on Monday. Mr.. Tay-
lor returned to the postofice and
insisted on a strict search. and
after great deal of the latter half a

found buried beneath a lot of papers

a REBUKE NEEDED.

In the local campaign in Shawnee
county a great effort has been made to
hold the people in line by an appeal to
craftsmanship
When the Republicans arose in right
eous indignation after the primary be-
cause the candidate for county attorney
had been nominated by questionable
methods and resolved to teach the per-
petrators of the outrage a lesson the
whippers in and ward heelers winked
the other eye and said Things will cool
off by election time for there is a ma
tional campaign coming But they
didn't cool When the campaign opened
the Republicans were just as much de-
termined to administer the deserved re-
buke as they were a week after the pri-
mary.
When the managers found that they
did not intend to forget the past they
resorted to the old methods. The party
lash has been cracked in orninous prox-
unity to the ear of the party voter. THE
opposing candidate has always voted the
opposition ticket Would you, a life long
Republican. support a Democrat?" and
like interrogations were continually
dinned into his ears. But the ordinary
voter understands at last that the cleo
ton of county attorney does not affect
the election OF president or governor
and the partisan appeals have met with
small success.
The mass Of the people Of all parties
love honor. honesty and good govern
ment. They don't like ring rule and it
doesn't matter whether it is the whisky
ring or some other ring. It is not sur
prising therefore that the sound of the
party whip has been unheeded. 1t now
seems likely that the Republicans win
defeat Galen Nichols for county attorn-
ney at the election next Tuasdav

an unprejudiced statement as to how
this and that state will CO.
In 1896. Chairman Jones said practi-
cally, Mr.. Bryan will sweep the west
and be elected
When James G. Blaine returned to
Maine after his tour of the country as
candidate, he told his political friends he
was as sure of carrying New York as he
was of Vermont. Doubtless Mr.. Blaine
was sincere but like Mr.. Jones he was
mistaken.
In 1883 New York managers of Mr..
Cleveland's campaign assured the coun-
try that Mr.. Harrison would be buried
under a landslide and gave figures to
prove it. But the landslide, if it ever
started became sidetracked somewhere.
Only nine days in advsnce of the cleo
ton of 1892 Joe A1anley of Maine, the
great forecaster, made the statement
that President Harrison would certainly
receive ZIG electoral votes with many
doubtful states. Harrison received 145
electoral votes. Five days later NJ. S.
Quay OF the Republican national COM
mittee, announced that Harrison would
surely carry Indiana, New York and
Connecticut by large maJorities. But
when the votes were counted Cleveland
had carried Indiana by 7,125; New York
by 45,51S, and Connecticut by 5,370.
So it is well to wait until after the
election to bet for in the nature of the
case all predictions are guesswork and
often very poor guesswork at that
1t is best to keep good humored in
these closing days Of the campaign and
refuse to become stampeded.
The overwhelming mass of citizens are
sincere and patriotic for the good of the
country and mean no evil. Whatever
the issue it will be neither wholly good
nor wholly bad.

PROBLEM OF OUR GROWTH.

The population of the United States
has increased from So million in 1890 to
over rs million in 1900, or nearly II per
cent This includes the immigrants
who have come to the country during
the decade, and the population of
Hawaii numbering about 10000. The
number of immigrants for the ten years
has been slightly under million, and
most Of them have settled in the eastern
and extreme northern states.
This question Of immigration is
brought before the people very clearly
by a glance at the returns of the census
department. It shows that the native
increase of the country has been about
million and the increase from immi-
grafton has been about one half as
much, and it should be remembered that
for four of the years there was prac-
tically no foreign immigration.
OF the foreigners who came to the
country the reports show that but about
ten per cent could read and write and
that they had an average of $50 for
each new arrival This is the class of
people who are admitted to the country
and given the same rights that an
American born youth who has lived in
the country until he is q years old is
given. 1t is to the shame of the coun-
try that an ignorant foreigner is adj
mitted to this country and allowed the
right of franchise which is denied the
intelligent women and the college stu
dent who is under q years of age.
The politicians in the east and the con-
gressmen from the extreme northern
states will fight a measure to restrict
immigration because the population of
the states they represent is composed
largely of foreigners. If it is restricted
al all it must be done by the men from
the west and the south where the ma
jority of the voters are American born.

BOOK NOTES.

Another edition of that charming little
volume, Monsieur Beaucaire, has been
announced by the publishers, Mcclure,
Phillips & Co. The demand has been
steadily increasing, but it will not be
ready from the press for about ten days,
on account of the color printing which
requires considerable time. Preparations
for the dramatization of this popular
story are, in the meantime, being rapidly
pushed forward, and Richard Mansfield
will present it in New York next Janu-
airy.
Several changes have been made. in
the story, for the stage version, In order
that the ending may be a happy one,
both for hero and heroine.
